I know I still have another story that needs to be updated but I had this
idea so bear with me for a bit. This first chapter is only short to see if
you the reader like the idea. SO if I get some reviews I will continue with
it. And by the way the excerpt of a song Taichi is singing is "1000 Words"
by Jade from Sweetbox. And one more thing, Taichi is very AU in this story.
Here ya go.
Friendship (Yamato's P.O.V.)
I can't believe this will be my last year attending Odaiba High before going off with my band, "The Teenage Wolves". It seems like only yesterday I was preparing for my very first day of high school. I was absolutely terrified. Not that anyone would believe that the Great Ishida could be afraid of something like high school. But all those feeling melted away the moment I saw him. Yagami, Taichi. The most beautiful creature to ever grace this world. He wasn't like most boys our age. He's quiet, calm, brooding, and artistic. (AN: Yes we are talking about Taichi. ^_^) Did I mention he's totally hot also?
A gentle tap on my shoulder interrupts any further daydreaming at the moment. Looking up to see who had pulled my head from out of the clouds I'm greeted by my younger brother and his girlfriend.
"Hey Yamato!" They both cheered in unison.
"Hey Takeru. Hey Hikari." I replied with a grin creeping across my face. I f Hikari was here that meant that her brother wouldn't be to far away. And who may you ask is her brother? None other than the wondrous Taichi himself.
"So Yamato have you decided on who you want to take to the Halloween dance." Takeru's better half questioned.
Of course I know who I want to take as my date! I practically screamed out but decided against a response that would draw far to much attention to the subject then needed. Instead I came up with a much more reserved reply.
"I don't think I'll be going." I said shrugging my shoulders like it was no big deal. But I could see by the look in Hikari's eyes that I wouldn't be getting off the hook that easily. Damn her persistence.
"Oh don't even try that one Ishida. You'll be going date or no date. This is your senior year and I will see to it that you thoroughly enjoy yourself if I die trying." She stated with probably a bit more.. Ummm insanity in her voice then she probably intended to.
That little out break rewarded me with a sympathetic look from Takeru. Since he was my brother I told him everything. So there was no doubt that when Hikari asked me who I was going with that he knew it hurt me deep down. He's the only one I have ever trusted with my secret crush. It's not that I'm ashamed of the way I am or anything. I just don't feel like broadcasting it to the world at the moment.
"Kari leave poor Matt alone." Came a voice from behind me. And by the looks of disgust on their faces I knew exactly who it was.
"He Sora." We all call out, our voices masked so she wouldn't detect the strain in saying something as simple as hello.
Kami why does she have to fallow me around everywhere. It's kinda like the "Real World" twenty-four seven with her around. Sooner or later I think I may have to file for a restraining order or something along those lines.
As I was contemplating my many thoughts I never even noticed her sit down next to me until she began yammering on like usual.
"Aren't you excited about the dance Yama?" I hate it when she uses that pet.
"Sure." Was my neutral reply.
"You don't seem to excited about it though." She prodded further.
All I had to keep on telling myself was "murder is only a crime if you get caught". Unfortunately I never had the chance to act on those impulses since Takeru finally had enough of Sora.
"You know what Sora why don't you take the same advice you gave Kari and stop pestering my brother." Venom dripping from his voice.
"Well I have never been so insulted in all my life." She never had the chance to continue since apparently Takeru was far from done with her.
"Oh I haven't even started yet you vacuous tramp." His last comment earned him a slap on the face from Sora before she stormed off calling over her shoulder.
"I'll see you at the dance Yamie."
And with that she was gone once again. Hopefully for good this time. But we all knew we were only kidding ourselves.
"Oh I can't stand that girl." Hikari growled as she tended to Takeru bruise that was swelling up on his cheek.
"Don't we all." He murmured under his breath.
"As I was saying earlier Matt, I would just hate to see you miss out on your last year here. That's all."
"Thanks Kari. I'll think about it."
"Now that's the spirit bro!" Takeru exclaimed grinning ear from ear.
"Now all we have to do is get my thick headed brother to open up and start socializing with others." Kari spoke as our attention was adverted towards a large oak tree.
Sitting underneath against its large trunk was Taichi. His chestnut colored hair drooping over his eyes since he wasn't wearing his blue head band today, as he strummed a few chords on his guitar.
"I'm gonna go over their and try and talk to him. Maybe get him to have lunch with us or something."
"Oh thank you so much Matt. That would mean so much to me if you did that."
"No prob Kari. No one should always have to sit by themselves."
"Hey Matto are you sure there isn't any other reasons?" Takeru joked.
"Shut up."
"Ten four Sir."
Getting up from the table I was sitting at I brushed the wrinkles out of my clothes and began to make my way over to where Taichi was sitting. On my was over towards the old oak tree I came to realize that not only was he playing his guitar, but he's also singing.
Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home
Suspended on silver wings
On silver wings
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
I'm know currently only a few feet away from him, silently listening to the beautiful melodies he is producing from those seductive lips of his. He must have noticed my shadow towering over him since the music has stopped and we are now starring at one and other. His eyes suddenly soften for some reason that I have not grasped yet. I'm even more surprised as he motions for me to sit down next to him. Not sure of what to d next I decide to introduce myself.
"H.He.Hello my name is Yamato." I finally manage to stutter out. Which causes him muffle a small laugh.
"I should hope I know who you are. After all your brother has been dating my sister for over two years. And the whole you being the most popular boy at school and the lead singer of "The Teenage Wolves" was kinda a dead give away."
I manage to casually laugh at his reply, causing him to smirk in the process of it. Deciding to be a bit more adventurous I press a little further than I would usually.
"That was a really beautiful song you were just playing." I complimented causing him to turn a dark red.
"Thank you. I wrote it for someone who is very special to me." He replied, looking down at the grass as if it held the secrets of the universe.
"And who just might be this special person?"
Oh Kami what did I ask that for. This is absolutely none of my business. Why am I always such a baka when it comes to things like this.
"I like to keep some things private Yamato. That's not to say I won't tell you who that person is someday though." He answered turning beat red.
"So are you saying I can talk to you again?" I enquired. Unsure if I should continue.
"Anytime, anywhere."
"Friends?" I questioned.
"Always." Was his reply.
"Then what are we doing all the way over here? Why don't we go eat lunch with the others?"
"Sounds good to me." A grin appeared on his face as he grabbed my arm and dragged me back towards were I was originally sitting.
Something tells me this is going to be the start of a very good friendship. Maybe even more.
Ok there is folks. The first chapter of 1000 Words. Bad isn't it? Well you know the drill. Review and I'll post the next chapter. So thanx to everyone who reads this. Byez!!!!!
