(I'm pretty anti-Sora)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The way you love me~~~*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Tai! Are you going to Matt's concert tomorrow?" Kari asked curiously from her brothers slightly opened door,
She had been startled when Tai had come home and slammed the door, Tears running down his face. She tried her best to cheer him up, But had not succeeded, He just sat there in a trance like a zombie.
"Tai?" She said waving her arms in front of his face.
Tai's sobs turned more louder and violent, He was shaking all over.
"Tai.." Kari said softly, "Whats wrong 'niisan?"
"H-He.. D-doesn't.. l-like.. m-me.. He loves, S-SORA!!" He half whispered, Half screamed..
Kari quickly embraced her brother in a tight hug, Trying to calm him down,
"Listen Tai, If you want to tell Matt you love him, Go to his concert tomorrow..!" Kari said.
"But Sora will be there" Tai said in a monotone voice, Which sounded spooky to Kari.. Suddenly Kari felt some courage flow into her,
"I dont give a fuck is Sora's there.." She said, "You have your own rights Tai, You have the right to say them.." She said..
Tai had never heard Kari swear, He was afraid if he didn't agree to her, that she might take drastic action, so,
"Fine, I'll go.." He said, "Thanks Kari," He whispered and hugged her,
"Thats what little sisters are here for.." Kari said and smiled when she saw Tai's lopsided grin..
~*~
Matt walked into his apartment, Which he shared with his father, He dropped his guitar case and collapsed onto the sofa and sighed,
"Whats wrong son?" His dad asked him..
"What would you say if your son was gay dad?" Matt asked,
"Well, I, Um... I wouldn't mind.."
Matt sighed and walked towards the kitchen, Taking a cookie from the jar..
He knew his dad was trying to support him..
"Matt, Are you saying you're 'Gay?'" Mr. Ishida said..
Matt almost choked on his cookie,
'Should I tell him or not?' He thought...
"Matt, If you are, it's alright, I'll understand.."
Matt walked back to the living room and sat down, He remembered the things that happened today and sighed..
"Dad, Sora asked me out, and...."
"And what?"
".....and I don't love her, I love Tai.. For some reason..."
"I understand Matt.."
"But after Sora kissed me, I saw Tai, He looked hurt and he just ran off crying"
~*Flashback*~
"Matt, Will... you, Go out with me?"
Matt hesitated a moment and then faked a smile...
"I thought you'd never ask!!"
"Great!"
Sora moved more closer to Matt and then wrapped her arms around his neck, She pulled him closer towards her and their lips met...
After their kiss had ended, Matt looked over to his right, Tai stood there, His eyes filled with tears. He turned around and ran off..
'I've hurt his feelings...' Matt thought...
~*End Flashback*~
~*~
Ring ring! Ring ring!
Tai groaned and reluctantly rolled over from his sleep..
"Who would call at 5:00 AM in the morning?"
He reached his arm out, eyes still closed and felt around for the phone in his night stand, He knocked off his alarm clock by accident and found the phone..
"Hello.." He said sleepily..
"Um.. Tai, Sorry, Did I wake you?" Came the voice over the phone..
"Matt, Um, Yeah you did wake me up, Whats wrong?"
"Are you coming to my concert tonight, I need to ask every digi-destined so I can book you all front row seats..."
"Yeah, Im going, So is Kari.."
"Okay, Bye"
"See ya.."
Tai hung up the phone and sighed, He rolled over again and fell asleep.
~*~
Kari got up early, before Tai of course, and turned on the radio in their room. Sure Tai had his reflexes and pulled his pillow over his head.
"Turn it off Kari!" Came the muffled voice under the pillow,
Of course, Kari, As all little sisters do, Ignored Tai and turned the radio up louder, Trying to annoy her brother.
"I can't hear you!" She called out giggling when Tai threw his pillow at her..
"Hey! No fair!" Kari giggled and threw the pillow back towards him.
Mrs Kamiya walked into their room to see what was going on, and Kari accidently threw a pillow at her moms face, Mrs Kamiya was startled and then she smiled, Throwing a pillow at Tai's face..
"Alright you two, Clean up!" She said, "Breakfast is ready!"
Tai and Kari got dressed and walked to the kitchen.
Tai stared at his tofu pancake and picked at it with his fork, He made a face and pushed it over to the side. He leaned over to Kari, Who was also picking at her food, Then he whispered into her ear,
"I would rather eat Miko's cat food than this!"
The two siblings started giggling, Miko, Kari's cat, Looked up in confusion, She jumped on the table and took a bite out of Tai's pancake. Miko almost suffered a hernia!
They both started laughing again when Miko went spaztic.
~*~
Matt sighed and sat down tiredly after band practice,
"Whats wrong?" Akira asked,
"I want to sing a song, For a special friend of mine!" He said and flicked through his folder full of song sheets and modern day artists music.
"Aha!" He said and pulled out a sheet of paper, "This is what I'll sing!"
~*~
Sora was getting ready for Matt's concert,
"Sora honey, Its Mimi" Mrs. Takenouchi said as Mimi entered the room..
"Hey Mimi" Sora said and looked herself in the mirror, She was wearing a glittery purple tank top, a black mini skirt with black stockings and a fluffy white coat.
"What do you think?" Sora said, posing in front of Mimi,
"I think it's great!! Though you need some make up!" Mimi said in her usual bubbly self.
Mimi took out her bag and took out all the make-up she had, She took out some pink nail-polish, Pink lipstick, Red lipstick, Pink blush, Blue eyeshadow, Silver mascara and some bobby pins.
"Your definitely a red!" She said and applied some red lipstick onto Sora, aswell as pink blush and silver mascara.
"There! You look great!" Mimi said cheerfully, "C'mon! Were gonna be late!" She said and bolted out the door.
Sora walked over to her drawer and took out a hand gun, She placed it inside her coat, It was for anyone who interfered with her and Matts relationship.
~*~
Tai and Kari walked out of their apartment and walked towards where Matt's concert would be held.
"Do you think this will work out Kari?" Tai asked nervously, Tugging on his blue and yellow trenchcoat anxiously.
"Don't worry 'niisan!" Kari re-assured him.
Tai eyed Sora running from the corner of his eye, Her tank top sparkling in the moonlight.
'Matt's never going to like me now' Tai thought and continued walking.
~*~
Sora and Mimi sat down on their appointed seats. Tai and Kari also entered and sat down on their appointed seats. The rest of the digi-destined were already there.
Davis and TK came running in late, Davis took one glance at Kari and almost fell over. He looked at the name on the seat and sighed,
"I guess TS gets the jackpot!" He said and slumped down.
Matt came out and the whole crowd began to screech and scream,
"I'd like to dedicate this first song, To a special friend of mine" He said and strummed his guitar and the band began to play their intstruments..
If I could grant
You one wish
I wish you could see
The way you kiss
Oh, I love watching you
Baby,
When you're driving me oh,
Crazy..
Ooh I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's no-where else
I'd rather be
Ooh, To feel the way I,
Feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see
The way you love me..
Oh.. The way you love me...
It's not right,
It's not fair,
What you're missing
Over there..
Someday I'll find a way,
To show you,
Just how lucky I am,
To know you..
Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's no-where else
I'd rather be
Ooh, To feel the way I
Feel with your arms around me..
I only wish that you could see
The way you love me...
Oh.. The way you love me
Your the million reasons
Why there's love
Reflecting in my eyes..
Ooh, I love the way you,
Love the way you love me
There's no-where else
I'd rather be..
Ooh, To feel the way I,
Feel with your arms around me,
I only wish that you could see,
The way you love me..
Tai felt tears well up in his eyes, He watched as Sora ran upstage and kissed him..
Tai got up and ran, He didn't know where, he just did, Kari got up and ran after him.
Matt saw this and pushed Sora away,
"The song was for a special friend, and the friend was Tai!"
Sora looked at Matt in disbelief,
"Wha..?" She said.
"Think of others Sora! Just because I sing a song and say it's for a special friend, Doesn't mean its only you! Look at Tai, Mimi, Kari, Tk, Davis, Yolei, Izzy, Joe, Ken and Cody! They're also my special friends! Just because your my girlfriend, doesn't mean your like a teachers pet to me!" Matt said and ran out..
~*~
Tai ran back home and slammed the door to his room, His parents were eating dinner in a restaurant and werent coming home until tomorrow morning. He lay down on his bed sobbing loudly.
Kari came running up to her brothers room and pounded on the door,
"Tai! Let me in!!" She screamed.
"Go away!" Tai said in reply, Kari muttered and went into her parents room, Finding the spare key to Tai's room, She found it and went back and unlocked it. She quietly crept in and saw her brother, sprawled out on his bed asleep from crying so much. She smiled and closed the door again.
~*~
"MATT! Why did you push me away?" Sora asked, furiously,
"Because, Sora, You see, YOU ARENT MY ONLY SPECIAL FRIEND!!" Matt roared,
*SMACK*
A red welt appeared on Matt's cheek, He held his hand up to his stinging cheek,
"What was that for?" He asked,
"That was for screaming at me"
*SMACK*
"....And that was for insulting me.." Sora turned her heels and stomped out,
"I wonder how Tai's doing?" He asked himself, concerned to know what happened to his best friend,
Matt not knowing that Sora was outside, Still watching, Left all his stuff there and walked to Tai's place. Sora followed.
~*~
Tai awoke to his bedroom door opening, Light filled the darkness, Tai blinked and looked at his alarm clock,
"7:30PM Geez," He thought..
"Tai, Matt's here to see you" Kari said as she left the room, Matt emerged forward and sat down beside Tai,
"Hey man, whats up?" Tai asked sadly,
"Tai, I-I-I"
"Your-your-your?"
"Im sorry,"
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry, for that incident in the concert hall"
"It's okay man, I bet Sora would've appreciated it" Tai said,
"Tai, I need to tell you something,"
"What?"
"You know that song for a special friend?"
"Yup"
"It was for you, and Tai, I love you"
Tai remained silent, He tried to keep in all the happiness inside him but failed, He pulled Matt down and kissed him. Matt was amazed, He summed up in his head 'Tai is the best kisser, BETTER than Sora!' he thought.
"I love you too" Tai said and smiled, He stood up and kissed Matt again.
~*~
Sora smirked outside, She was watching the happy couple kissing, She took out her gun and loaded in some bullets, She aimed it at Matt and pulled the trigger.
~*~
Matt spun around in joy so Tai was facing the balcony, Tai gasped as something sharp entered his abdomen, He looked down and whimpered, Blood was pouring out of his stomach, staining his tracksuit and trackpants, covering his hands in a red substance. He then just fell forward into Matt's arms.
"Tai! Oh my god! WHAT HAPPENED!?"
"G-g-got...sh-sh-shot" He said trying to smile but failed and started shivering, not because it was cold, but because of the immense pain.
Kari ran in, hearing the loud bang, she became worried.
"TAI!" She screamed, as she saw blood pooling out, coming from her brother.
"Kari! Get a cloth and call 911!" Matt ordered.
Kari ran out of the room, following Matt's orders, Trying to save her brother from death.
Matt looked down at Tai, Tears flowing down his cheeks,
"Shhh, My baby, It will be okay" He said clutching Tai's hand.
"M-Matt, If...I....d-don't....m-make....it, T-tell....my...p-parents...and..K-kari, I...l-love..th-th-them" Then he became limp.
Paramedics burst through the door and picked Tai up and placed him on a stretcher, They dashed downstairs and Matt and Kari hopped into the truck as they sped off.
~*~
"We have a male, Aged 14, Shot in the stomach by a revolver" They un-zipped a little bit of Tai's tracksuit, To reveal part of his torso.
Matt and Kari ran into the ER with them, They didn't even push them out since they were so busy, trying to keep Tai away from death.
Kari sobbed loudly, and ran into Matt's arms, Matt too, was crying, Tears of pain, Sorrow and anguish flowed out of his eyes.
~*~
Sora walked home solemly, She felt guilty of what she did, She had shot her best friend by accident, The best friend that helped her in soccer, the best friend that used to cheer her up when she was sad, the best friend which made everything fun since they were five-years-old! The best friend she ever had was almost gone.
"And it's all my fault!" She screamed.
~*~
The nurses realized that Matt and Kari were inside the ER.
"Im sorry, but you're not permitted to see this." They were both pushed out.
~*~
"I hope Tai's okay" Kari sobbed, as tears flooded her eyes.
~*~
Tai looked up at all the doctors and nurses, rushing around,
"Whats your name honey?" A nurse asked him,
"Taichi"
"Alright, Taichi, Were going to slide this tube down your throat to help you breathe"
Tai nodded. His eyes slid closed, and became still once again.
"Taichi? Taichi honey?" The nurse said as she shook him.
"He's not breathing!"
~*~
Matt took out some loose quaters and placed them inside the slot of the payphone, He dialed Mr. Kamiya's cellphone number and waited for an answer.
"Hello?" Came the voice over the phone.
"Um, Mr. Kamiya?"
"Yes"
"It's me Matt"
"Whats wrong?"
"Were in the hospital"
"Whats wrong? Is everything alright?"
"Tai"
"What about my son?"
"He got sh-shot!"
"Oh my God, We'll be there right away!"
~*~
"Whats wrong?" Mrs. Kamiya asked her husband.
"Tai, He got shot, Were going to the hospital"
"Oh my gosh! My poor baby!" Mrs. Kamiya sobbed.
~*~
Sora walked towards the hospital,
"Im ready to confess NOW!"
She walked in and saw Kari crying in Matt's arms.
'What have I done?' She though, 'Im a monster!'
"Matt" She said, "Im sorry"
"Sorry for what?" Matt asked.
"I-I shot Tai"
"YOU WHAT? SORA HOW COULD YOU!?!?" Matt asked furious,
"YOUR BEST FRIEND IS IN THERE, FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU SORA TAKENOUCHI!!" Matt screamed.
Kari looked up, anger burned in her eyes aswell as hatred, disgust and traitory.
"How could you Sora, HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! Why did you shoot my brother, He didn't do ANYTHING to you! After all he did in the Digital World for you, He protected you, against everything! EVERYTHING! He even risked his life to save you, AND THIS IS HOW YOU PAY HIM BACK HUH?" Kari shouted and slapped Sora. A red welt appeared on Sora's face. She held her stinging cheek.
The ER doors burst open as Tai was taken to another room to be operated on...
TBC....
A/N: Please! That was soooo nerve wracking!! Pls R&R and I will get the next chapter up soon! Will Tai survive? I dont know! Its up to you!

Sora walked towards the hospital,
"Im ready to confess NOW!"
She walked in and saw Kari crying in Matt's arms.
'What have I done?' She though, 'Im a monster!'
"Matt" She said, "Im sorry"
"Sorry for what?" Matt asked.
"I-I shot Tai"
"YOU WHAT? SORA HOW COULD YOU!?!?" Matt asked furious,
"YOUR BEST FRIEND IS IN THERE, FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU SORA TAKENOUCHI!!" Matt screamed.
Kari looked up, anger burned in her eyes aswell as hatred, disgust and traitory.
"How could you Sora, HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! Why did you shoot my brother, He didn't do ANYTHING to you! After all he did in the Digital World for you, He protected you, against everything! EVERYTHING! He even risked his life to save you, AND THIS IS HOW YOU PAY HIM BACK HUH?" Kari shouted and slapped Sora. A red welt appeared on Sora's face. She held her stinging cheek.
The ER doors burst open as Tai was taken to another room to be operated on...
