"Sora!"
At the
mentioning of her name, Sora Takenouchi turned around, finding her best
friend, Yamato Ishida, running towards her, "Nani?"
"Um, Sora?"
Yamato started, "You got plans for tonight?"
"Nuh uh."
Sora replied teasingly, "Nani? You're gonna ask me out?"
Yamato
smiled, shaking his head, "No, Sora-chan. Why aren't you going out
with Jyou?"
Sora shrugged
wistfully, "Jyou never mentioned anything about a Valentine's dinner.
I guess he prefers studying..."
"Oh?
Then I guess that I should be a gentleman and walk you home, huh?" Yamato
grinned.
Rolling
her eyes, Sora punched her friend playfully, "Oh, come on, Yama-kun.
You live in the next apartment building!"
"So?
I'm leaving now, you know!" Yamato started walking, leaving her behind.
Sora stood
there for a few seconds, before running up, "Yama! Wait for me!"
Mimi Tachikawa
stood at the doorway of the Kido residence nervously, as she fumbled with
the present in her hands, "I hope he'll like this..."
Suddenly,
the door opened, revealing a certain blue-haired young man, "Mimi?
What are you doing here?"
"Um, I..."
Mimi stammered, before thrusting the present into Jyou's hands, "Uh, Jyou-kun,
this is for you. Bye!"
Jyou stared
after Mimi's disappearing figure, before turning his attention to the present
in his hands, "Huh? Chocolate? For me? Why would Mimi
give her chocolate to me? It's not that she likes me or something,
is she?" He closed the door and headed back into his bedroom, settling
himself down again before his piles of books. ~Why did Mimi give
this to me?~ He thought randomly, and finally gave up. Jyou
put on his coat and headed outside, determined to get an explanation.
"Okies. So where did I put that stupid box of chocolate?" Sora mumbled while searching all over her bedroom, "Oh yeah! I left them at Mimi's when we made them together yesterday! I better go to Mimi's and get it back." She went through a quick change of clothing and threw on a coat. Sora was careful to leave behind a note to her mother, telling her that she'd be back soon. After making sure the house was locked, she left her house and headed towards Mimi's.
"Hey oniisan,
how are you going to dispose all these *points to the endless pile of chocolate*
boxes of Valentine's chocolates?" Takeru gazed at Yamato's pile while thinking
of how to get rid of his own.
Yamato
shrugged, "Just like last year. Take some for myself, and ship the
rest to Taichi, claiming that the girls are too shy to give them to him,
and had asked me to the dirty work instead. He'll eat it up like
a cookie."
"Cool!
I wonder if it'll work on Daisuke as well." Takeru frowned at his chocolates,
but his face instantly lit up when he saw the one from Hikari.
"It should.
Daisuke is too much like Taichi anyway." Yamato grinned and began going
through his pile of chocolates, "Let's see, that humongous one is from
Jun definitely, and the others are from the fans..."
Takeru
went and opened up Hikari's box of chocolate, trying one carefully, "Hmm...!
Hikari's chocolates are really good!"
"Good for
you, otooto." Still sorting through the chocolates, Yamato exclaimed suddenly,
"Hey! Sora promised me that she'd give me one too, just like every
year! Where's hers?"
"Sora isn't
your girlfriend nor your admirer, oniisan. She doesn't have to give
you one." Takeru rolled his eyes.
"But Sora's
chocolates are often the best! Nuh uh, I ain't gonna let her off
the hook this time. Chocolate, here I come!" Yamato laughed as he
grabbed his coat and headed out, "I'll be back soon, Takeru!"
"Okay!"
Jyou rang
the Tachikawa's doorbell a few times, and waited patiently for someone
to open the door.
Finally,
Mimi opened up and blinked at the Jyou's arrival, "Jyou! What brought
you here?"
"This."
Jyou held up the present Mimi gave him.
"Oh." She
stared blankly at him, ~What does he want? I hope he's not rejecting
me...~
"So?"
Mimi bit
her lip, "Will you promise not to laugh at me, nor do anything of the same
sort when I tell you?"
Again,
Jyou nodded as he waited for an answer.
"I, uh,
I think I like you."
"Huh?!"
Mimi's
face went bright red as she shouted, "I said that I like you!"
"Oh." Jyou
stared at her, then at the present. ~Why am I feeling butterflies
in my stomach now? It's not possible that I like Mimi back, do I?
I mean, I have Sora as my girlfriend now, and I should be satisfied to
be with such a great girl...~
As Jyou
continued thinking, Mimi decided that she'd had enough, "Jyou, I hope you'll
not be angry with me, and I hope I won't be angry at myself either."
Then right out of the blue, Mimi leaned forward and kissed Jyou lightly
on the lips.
~What is
she doing?? But I do like the feeling of this...~ Jyou grabbed onto
his last thought before kissing Mimi back.
What Jyou
and Mimi didn't know was that someone was watching them.
"Sora?"
Yamato glanced at the tear-stained girl as he walked closer.
Jyou and
Mimi pulled apart quickly and finally saw Sora and Yamato standing a few
feet from them.
Jyou tried
to break the silence, "Um, Sora, I can explain-"
He was
cut off by Sora's cold glare, "Drop it, Jyou." Sora walked up to
the nervous pair, and just as Yamato thought she was about to slap Jyou,
she said instead, with tears in her eyes, "Happy Valentine's Day, Jyou.
And you too, Mimi." With those words out of her mouth, Sora turned
and ran off.
Jyou yelled
after the disappearing girl, "Wait, Sora...!"
"Jyou,
you know it's useless." Yamato stopped him.
"But I'm
worried about her..." Jyou's words trailed off as he gazed at Mimi, who
was still shaken up very much.
Yamato
glanced at the couple deeply before answering, "Don't be, I'll go and find
her."
Mimi finally
spoke up, with a bitter smile on her face, "Thank you, Yamato-kun."
But Yamato
was already on his way.
Sora ran
like crazy, until her legs and mind became so tired that she had to stop.
~How come I only feel betrayed, but not the slightest bit of hate, and
jealousy? Isn't that what a normal girl should feel when she broke
in on her boyfriend's romantic movement with another girl? Or does
it mean that I... never loved Jyou?~ She slumped upon a wooden bench
in the park. As she shut her eyes to rest a while, a voice broke
into her thoughts.
"Sora?"
Yamato called out, and approached her gently, "You okay?"
"Yeah."
Sora replied, but still didn't open her eyes.
Yamato
sat down beside her, and waited a moment before saying, "You know I'll
be there when you need a shoulder to cry on." Seeing that she had
made no attempt to respond, he frowned, "Sora, are you listening to me?"
Still no
response.
Yamato
grew angry and shook Sora's arms, "Sora, listen to me!" His anger
diminished and was replaced by surprise when Sora suddenly held onto him
and cried. He wrapped his arms around her and patted her softly,
knowing that all she needed now was comfort.
After a
long while, Sora's sobs finally softened, and she looked up into Yamato's
eyes, "Thanks, Yama-chan."
"No problem,
Sora-chan." A smile crept up onto Yamato's face as he looked at her, "Now
this isn't a Sora that you would see everyday."
Sora blushed
as Yamato wiped the tears off her cheek gently, and she asked, "Why did
you show up at Mimi's, Yama?"
"Because
I was looking for you." Yamato stated simply.
"What for?"
"Chocolate."
"Nani?"
"You owe
me a box of chocolate, Sora-chan, and don't you dare think that I'll forget
it."
Sora finally
broke into a laughing fit, and only stopped when Yamato pulled her into
a tight hug, "Yama...?"
Yamato
whispered beside her ear, "Happy Valentine's Day, Sora." He then
lightly kissed her forehead, but still not letting her go.
Sora smiled
bashfully inside Yamato's warm embrace, as she whispered back, "Happy Valentine's
Day, Yamato."
"And you
still owe me a box of chocolate."
"Yama!"
"I'm just
kidding!"
"Hmph."
"Come on,
Sora, please?"
"Nope."
"Aww......"

Did you enjoy the meal?
Please review! ^___^ Don't flame me though if you didn't like
it. By the way, I'd be very thankful if you would tell me which fic
I should work on first. Either the Kenyako ficcy, or the Daisuke-centered
one which I might enter for Lilac's contest. ^^

P. S. Should I change
my pen name?? I saw an awful lot of people who had "Wings" as part
of their pen names...... If you're answering yes, then please give
me suggestions as to what I should change it to! ^_^
