Well since am kinda in the middle of writing my next chappie for "of gypsies and demons" I decided to give you guys a lil' treat. I've never done a songfic before…so this is my first. I've had the idea in my head for like months (ever since this song was released and shot straight to number 1 here in Britain!!!) so I thought I better get this out there. I'm also thinking of doing the next chapter with Rhianna- Umbrella. That's been stuck in my head too lol. I have a lot of idea's floatin round in ma head…it's jus that I'm too lazy to write them lmfao!!!

The song is Sugababes- About You Now…if you haven't heard it… go get it…it's so catchy!

(B.T.W. I made a guess that the whole Christmas abomination/fiasco happened when they were 15…I'm not sure…just a guess really. So in the present they're around 18 the older ones like Tai and Sor.)

About You Now

"He's leaving Sora… he's going to New York. Big bro is leaving." A pair of dark russet eyes bored into her, deep into her soul. They could emphasize any pain to such a degree, you could feel it yourself. She had to admit it… Kari had Bambi eyes. Big, brown, dewy, soul searching Bambi eyes. She sighed, Kari knew exactly what she was thinking. Another voice piped up in the background. She turned to meet a pair of cinnamon coloured eyes: "What are you gonna do Sor?"

"Mimi…there's nothing I can do. I broke his heart 3 years ago…it's not like he still feels the same way. Plus maybe he didn't really feel that way, maybe it was just a crush. Even if I told him, it's not like he's gonna cancel all his plans and give up on his future for me. God I'm so stupid." Tears flowed freely now.

"Of course he felt that way. He loved you with all his heart Sor, and I'm sure he still does." No matter what Kari said, it just couldn't lift her spirits.

It was so easy that night
Should've been strong
Yeah I lied
Nobody gets me like you


It was all her fault, she should have told him. Back then everything had seemed so simple. Love was just a notion, a simple crush. Sure she was the guardian of love, but they were young…it wasn't a serious feeling. Or so she thought.


Couldn't keep hold of you then
How could I know what you meant
There was nothing to compare too


Now looking back, she realised how much of a total prat she had been. She had turned down Tai, on Christmas for his best friend…for a relationship that only lasted a year…followed by three other guys…which also didn't work out. Only now she realises he was the best thing that had ever happened to her. Tai was everything to her: saviour, best friend, eye candy and comedian during art class last year and personal comforter…god she was so stupid. He had put his heart on the line and she had stamped all over it.


I know everything changes
All the cities and faces
But I know how I feel
About you

"Sora! Get over it! So what?! You broke his heart, well go and piece it back together again! Kari's right he does love you. We've all seen it. The way he looks at you. He trusts your decision in moments of doubt. You're one of the only one's who can calm him down when he completely loses it. Like…remember the time he totally freaked when Davis made a move on Kari: 'well Kari, if you need a place to "sleep" I got a new bed that needs breaking in…if you know what I mean'" Sora smiled as Yolei did her best impression of Davis in full on flirt mode, before thinking back to Tai nearly lynching him.

"Oh god Yolei! I was trying to forget." Kari groaned into her hands.

"Who could forget Kari? Especially Tai's colourful insults. What was it again…? Oh: 'you dirty little douche bag. You little perv. I'm gonna crucify your ass! Am gonna lynch you by your balls, from the top of Tokyo tower, before letting Wargreymon toast ya!' ah, good times." Mimi giggled.

Yolei piped up with more input, using an almost mocking voice when describing Sora's actions. "Remember Sor? You had to help the boys pin him down. If I remember rightly, you were the one with him in a headlock running your fingers through his hair telling him soothing words like 'he's joking Tai. Kill him later. Trust me he won't bother. He knows exactly what'll happen if he does…just chill.' And once again, if I remember so, he calmed down instantly after this. If any of us did that he would have been halfway up Tokyo tower carrying out his threats regardless whether we were still holding on or not. Admit it Sor…you seduced his behind. Now go do it again! Run to him, block his path, stop his flight! Anything!"

"Yolei…I….i couldn't…I…"

"Sure you could Sor hun!" Mimi squealed, moving over to Sora and gently gripping her shoulders, looking her straight in the eye. "you'll run to him. By the time you get there, you'll be bedraggled and slightly sweaty…but in a sexy way…and you'll run straight in front of him, with tears cascading down your face. He'll ask you 'what's wrong?' in a husky voice…and you'll completely cave. You fall against him and in a sultry breathy whispering voice, you'll let it all out. You'll tell him everything! Your every feeling, every thought and you'll end it with; 'I love you Tai, I always have and always will.' Then he'll scoop you up in his arms and passionately kiss you. He'll tear up those airline tickets and say in a sexy whisper 'screw New York' before carrying you off to his apartment. Then later…and this is where it gets really sexy…"

"Mimi…I think Sora gets it."

"How so Kari?"

"She left after 'passionately kiss you'"

In a flash the three girls shot the window, staring 3 floors down into the busy rainy street as a fiery red head tore up the pavement in long, gazelle-like strides regardless of her bare feet.

"Go Sora go!!!"

"Wooooooooot! Go baby go!"

"Run Sora, run like the wind! Go seduce the ass of that guy!"

"Go make him wish he never even dreamt of New York!"

Once she was out of sight they receded back into the warmth and dryness of Kari's room.

"Mimi, that lil' speech before…?"

"Yeah?"

"…You've been reading waaaaay to many romance novels."

"Yolei's right Meems. I'm glad you didn't finish your last sentence." Kari smirked.

"Why? I was only going to talk 'bout how they're gonna have wild and passionate sex and…"

"MIMI!!!"


There's a mountain between us
But there's one thing i'm sure of
That I know how I feel
About you

She ran like hell was behind her. It sure did feel like it too. Her feet were burning. Note to self; have shoes at the ready when Mimi starts her romantic speeches. Wet sidewalk hurts bare feet. The run to the airport (2 ½ miles) felt like a marathon. The sloping side walk felt like a mountain and the rain like bullets. She was soaked. Well…Mimi was right about the whole looking bedraggled. Her red tank top was plastered to her chest, the lace of her bra showing at the top, whilst the non lacy part, which was conveniently chocolate brown, was now showing through slightly more than usual. The beige knitted bolero had slipped down her shoulders and was hanging at her elbows, and her plaid skirt was riding up slightly at the back, revealing her knickers (much to the enjoyment of every man on the street.)

Can we bring yesterday
Back around
Cause I know how I feel
About you now
I was dumb I was wrong
I let you down
But I know how I feel
About you now

Score so far;

Rain - 3 Sora- nil

Pedestrians- nil Sora- 8 (1 knockdown, 2 spilt coffees, 1 scatted newspaper and 4 café customers plus table climbed over and totalled.)

Sidewalk- 20 Feet- nil

I'm in agony here. If I had just told Tai how I felt 3 years ago I wouldn't be doing this. Makes you wish you could turn back time.

Slight change to previous score:

Pedestrians- nil Sora- 9 ….businessman and briefcase bite the dust.

All that it takes
One more chance
Don't let our last kiss
Be our last
Give me tonight and I'll show you


Walking round the airport seating area, Tai couldn't help but think of her. God he'd miss that red headed beauty. Her smile, her eyes, her voice. He truly did love her. But obviously she didn't think the same way. She'd be happier this way, without him threatening all her new boyfriends, distracting her, wasting her time.

I know everything changes
I don't care where it takes us
Cause I know how I feel
About you

"Hey sweetness. Wanna lift?" Some prick in a Porsche pulled alongside Sora as she thundered on. Her feet were cut and her legs aching…just dying for carpeted floors, leather appulstry, a heater system…a nice dry Porsche would do the trick. However the driver was dying for something as well, something (judging by the look on his face) he hadn't got in a long time. Loser. I'd rather run, thus permanently damaging my feet and end up as Joe's first amputee.

"I'm okay thanks!" she smiled sweetly, not letting up her pace.

"Oh come on sweet-cheeks, your tired."

"I'll only get your lovely leather seats all wet."

"Oh I bet you would." A sleazy smirk crossed his face, as he imagined something rather lewd.

Oh ewww! I walked right into that innuendo. Sick perv.

"Come on…we'll have fun. You'll soon dry off." His eyebrows moved up and down in a suggestive way. Oh that is it!

"You know what? Screw this!" turning towards the driver, she lifted her top and bra swiftly, flashing the pervert driver an eyeful. The shock and beautiful sight caused the driver's concentration to lapse and steering wheel to swerve, thus hitting a streetlamp. Score! With a flick of her middle finger salute, she was away again after marvelling at her handiwork.

Not much left to go. Nearly there, just the parking lot, foyer and check in to manoeuvre. Sora managed to get halfway down the double-soccer-pitch-sized parking lot, without a car coming within radius or having to slow down. However closer to the airport was chaos. Cars fought and jostled for spaces. People were racing for spaces and Sora ended up vaulting the bonnet of a Dodge pickup. After 3 near misses (one bus, 2 cabs driving waaaaay above the speed limit.) several run-ins with luggage trolleys and a few irate stewards, she made it to check in. New York? New York? Where the frick is…New York! Bingo! Speeding towards the New York check in desk, she caught a sight for sore eyes. A mass of wild, chocolate brown hair towering above the crowd. It was at this point that Sora thanked Tai for being blessed with a natural height advantage of 6'2" plus the addition of his bushy mop, made him an unmistakable sight.

He was waiting in the seating area, pacing the floor impatiently. Sora had to admit. He was pretty darn hot. He wore a simple black button down shirt (3 buttons undone at the top granting the world a good ol' peek at that muscled chest of his.) a pair of torn (and bleached in places thanks to Miko and the laundry incident.) jeans and a pair of tan Timberlands.

"Tai! Tai! TAI!!!"


Not a day passed me by
Not a day passed me by
That I don't think about you
And there's no moving on
Cause I know you're the one
And I can't be without you

"Sora? Sor, what are you doing here? And what the hell happened to you? Sora! Your feet are…"

"It doesn't matter about me! What matters is you! You're leaving! You can't do that, you can't leave us…you can't leave me…" Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. "Tai please don't leave. We can't lose you. I can't lose you!"

"Sora…this is…something I have to do." He turned his face away, avoiding her eyes. "I have to leave…for my sakes."

"Please Tai, don't leave." She flung her self at him, clinging on to his shirt and burying her face into his chest. "I can't lose you. I can't live without you! I…I love…you."

"Now you tell me this?! How come you didn't tell me this 3 years ago?" he pushed her away from him, anger rising. "Why? Cos' you where too busy telling this to Matt! Sora… I'm just a burden to you…all I do is distract you from important things, beat up your new boyfriends and distracting you. The only thing I'm good for in your life, is comfort when they cheat on you, or dump you…because the thing is Sora…you're shit at pickin' who you give your emotions to. You probably tell every guy you have crush on 'I love you'"

"But Tai I…"

"No Sora! Real love is what I felt for you, what I tried to give you, but no. you crushed it into the ground. What you're telling me now, isn't real love." His face lost it's angry façade, turning to regret and sadness. "Goodbye Sora." He picked up his luggage and turned preparing for boarding.

Something in Sora snapped. How dare he?! How dare he say that?!

"So…that's it huh? You're gonna runaway? Run from me, from those who love you? Just because I'm a stupid worthless bitch?!" she screamed at him her lungs aching from all the heavy breathing after her run.

Tai turned back round in shock.

"Now I never said that…"

"No? really? Cos' it felt like it did. It felt like you literally told me that I'm not worthy of love! That's what it feels like." Tears poured from her eyes, smudging her mascara even more. "Yes I was wrong to fall for all those other guys. I wish I could bring yesterday back around. I was dumb, I was wrong and most importantly I let you down. But I know...I know how I feel about you now."

"But I'll be damned if you're the one to tell me it's not love! Do you know what I went through for you now? Do you know how much frickin' pain I'm in right now? All of it for you. You obviously don't know, so I'll tell you. I ran 2 miles, full sprint, bare footed. I ran through freezing rain, broken glass and still lit cigarettes that weren't quite put out. I took out 9 pedestrians for you. I was followed by some pervert in a Porsche who wanted some, for about two blocks…for you. He crashed his car into a lamp post because I flashed him my breasts, once again for you. I ran through that death trap of a parking lot, I had 3 near misses one of which was too close for comfort." Sora pointed to a rather large bruise on her calf where the cab's bumper had hit. "I jumped over luggage trolleys, fought through crowds and dodged stewards just for you. I am in so much physical pain right now; I have glass and cigarette buts stuck in my feet. But the agony is nothing compared to the agony in this heart."

Her voice was broken up by sobs, causing her whole body to shake uncontrollably. She felt weak and frail, completely laid bare in front of this young man. She didn't care she would pour her whole heart out for this boy. She loved him and he couldn't deny her that.

"Tell me I'm a liar, tell me that what I feel isn't love. Go on, believe what you want, but I know what I feel. Do you really think I would go through all this is if it was 'just a crush'?"

Tai was speechless, he had never seen her so angry…so hurt. She was in so much pain…mentally and physically. She looked at collapsing point, but she went on.

"Goodbye Taichi. I hope one day you realise how much I love you. Oh! And before I go. You wanna know something? Something I've never told anyone. I'm still a virgin. And guess who I was saving it for." And with that she turned and walked off. As Sora walked away, she told herself; I won't be weak. I won't admit defeat. I wish I could go back to 3 years ago…but life doesn't work that way. I have to stay strong. Walk away.

He watched her walk away, she swayed dangerously. He watched her leave behind footprints of dirt and more worryingly blood, where she had stood arguing, a large pool of blood had accumulated.

She must be barely conscious. What had she put herself through…and just for me. She… she…she saved it…her innocence so to speak…for me. His mind ticked overtime as she walked out of sight amongst the constant throng of people. He stood there a good minute, before he noticed that a check in stewardess was furiously tapping on his shoulder.

"What!" he had completely lost it now. He had no clue what he was gonna do, how this was gonna end. He had broken her heart. He had told himself all those years ago, when she broke his, he would never stoop to that level. He would not break that girls heart. And yet…he had just done that. What had he done?
But I know how I feel
About you now

Sora had reached the airport doors, and back into the rain. She had been approached by many people, trying to assist her, at one point the whole medical staff had come to her aid, only to be brushed off and pushed away. The agony, the coldness, dampness, it had all become numb to her. It was there she just didn't notice it above the screaming of her heart. How it ached for him, screamed for him. But it was of no use. He would never be hers.

"Why was I so stupid? Why didn't I tell him 3 years ago. It's no use now. Tai…I know how I feel now." She called out as her knees gave way and she sank to the pavement, the rain soaking her once more.


Yet I know how I feel
About you now
