-SARAH-
Tai.
I watched him from my bedroom window. Playing soccor. Teaching Davis the expert things.
It seemed as if that was all he ever did. Now today, his backyard was vacant . Only he sat there
lonely. As if nothing in the world could bring him up.
I bolted down my stairs and packed up a picnic basket. I raced to his yard.
"Sarah!" he exclaimed standning up suddenly.
"Yes. We are going to have a picnic."
"We are?"
"Yes."
Tai's expression tried to change but he held back his smile.
"What is up with you? Where is Davis?"
"Not here."
I stepped out of his way as he headed to his door, "Geez, you don't have to be so rude."
He stopped and turned around, "Shouldn't you be at home with Matt?"
He knew that would hurt me. College meant he was free and now that we were in college, he
was always out with the band and Tai knew I was sensitive.
"That was harsh..." I whispered.
"He didn't come home again?" Tai mocked.
My fist flew out and hit his nose.
"What was that for?" he exclaimed clammpying his hand over his nose and whinning.
"He has came home late every night this week and YOU aren't helping." I swirled around to
go home but he caught my shoulder.
"You know you throw quite a punch for a girl."
"Don't start with me Tai." I pushed his hand from my shoulder. I walked away while he
called after me.
"Sarah! Let's talk this out. Please! No one knows Matt better than me."
I didn't listen. I just walked.
-Tai-
I slammed the door when I walked inside. Why did she have to be so rude and crude. "Miss
I can do whatever I want. Well no one talks to Tai Kamiya like that... What am I
talking about. She and Matt should be and I need to get over it. They are destined...to be.
He and she have to be togeter because of that stupid legend crap bout him keeping her death
crest under control."
"Tai, are you talking to yourself again?" Kari giggled as she walked into my room.
"No...just thinking. Do you need something?"
"Yea, TK's car broke down and we were going to pick Ken up from Matt's party."
"Matt is haing a party?"
"Yeah."
"Didn't he invite Sarah?"
"I don't know!"
"You should!"
'"Tai! Please don't give me the third degree!"
"Sorry..sure I'll take you"
-Party-
The party was wild. Tai pushed through the crowd and saw Matt talking with two fine
girls, "Hey honey." Tai winked at Matt. This made all of the girls leave.
"Tai! Why did you do that!"
"Because you are taken."
"Whatever. No girl holds down the Yamanator."
"What about Sarah?"
"Sarah?" Matt's cheeks reddened like they always did when she was mentioned and his love
struck eyes faded to maddness, "what about her?"
"She was worried about you. You've been gettin in awful late lately and she was worried."
"I...er...had band practice."
"Well not tonight. And why didn't she know about this party"
"Dude, men need their time away with the guys. A night witout their chick all over me
and bothering me."
"Oh so she's a bother" Tai said and pushed Matt against the wall with his fist on his
shirt
"Lighten up, Tai. You and I both know she can be annoying."
"Why didn't you tell her about the party?"
"Because she wouldv'e wanted to come." Matt said shoving Tai off him, "Don't tell her
man."
"Okay."
"What happened to your nose?"
Tai walked away and turned around and smiled, "Your chick." he simply said and left.
Kat picked up the phone,"Yea?"
"It's Tai." the voice said from the other line.
"I don't wanna talk."
"I know I should've been there for you tonight. It is late and...has he still not come
in?"
"No."
"Come over."
"Whatever." Kat slammed the phone and jotted Matt a note just in case he came home
before she got back, "Matt, I'm out, Kat."
-Tai's house-
Tai and Sarah stand in Tai's room .
Tai looked at her and smiled nervously, "So..."
"You've talked to him haven't you?" Kat asked.
"No..." Tai lied.
"Don't lie to me. I know when you lie...and you are lying."
Tai looked around his room for something to do, "Do you wanna play 64?"
"No, I wanna know what he told you."
"He-I didn't talk to the guy."
Sarah laughed, "You just gave yourself away."
"What are you talking about?"
"You started to say he..."
"Okay I did talk to him...he was..at a party."
"A party!" Sarah exclaimed and readied to slam her fist into Tai's wall.
Tai took her hand, "Don't punch the wall. It was...one of his band mate's party and they
weren't aloud to bring their girlfriends. He didn't want to tell you in fear of you tying to...
uh.."
"Show up uninvited?"
"Yea that's it."
"Why don't I believe that."
"Sarah, look. There are a lot of things you don't know about Matt. He never sticks with
one girl no matter how much he makes them believe that he does and you were the first person
that he truly opened up to. I never thought Matt could let someone completely into his life.
I thought he finally let someone in but it turns out that I guess he hasn't let you in like I
thought he did. You are to good for him. You need someone better. Someone who would never
leave you. Who would never hurt you. Someone who...truly loves you and isn't with you just
because he was sent to protect you from your powers." Tai saw Sarah's tear filled eyes and
stopped.
"Then who do you recommened? You?"
Then there was silence. When Sarah didn't get an answer, her tears streamed down her
face. He pulled her to him and she cried on his shoulder, "He has to love me, Tai. I know he
does. Matt is my guy and he always will be. It's not because of the legend...it's not...
no...he loves me. He loves me." she cried.
"He was at the party...and I saw him with two other girls. They were just talking but he
had that look in his eye. Sarah, he can't help it. That's just the way he is. He is too pretty
for his own good. He likes you a lot I'm sure but he can't stay with one girl. You need
someone who will."
Sarah looked into Tai's eys, "You've always been there for me, Tai. Thank you. I never
repaid you. You're a great guy and I am so glad you didn't move away after high school..."
Tai smiled and his eyes got wide when she moved toward him. She put her lips on his
and kissed him sweetly. She pulled away and looked into his eyes.
Tai couldn't say anything.
Sarah smiled, "Well?"
Tai snapped out of his shock and pulled her to him. He leaned her onto her back and
kissed her with affection. When his kisses started to go to her neck she struggled from his
grasp, "Tai..."
"What?"
"I have to go.." Sarah nonchalantly wiped her lip and backed out of the door and out of
the house.
She slipped into the house and saw that the bedroom light was on. Sarah looked into the
room. There Matt sat in this shorts reading the paper by one light.
"So you decided to come home," he said without looking up, "it's midnight ya know."
Sarah picked her night clothes out of the drawer and walked into the adjacent bathroom
to change, "Yea I'm sorry."
"Where were you?"
"At Tai's," she said and popped her head around the corner. She pulled her shorts on
out of Matt's sight then turned her back to him, "he wanted to talk."
She heard Matt rustle on the bed. She heard his breathing get closer so she slipped
her shirt on quickly. He twirled her around, "I know Tai. He wanted more than talk."
Sarah searched his eyes for a reason, "What do you mean?"
"He likes you Sarah. He intends to get you and I won't let him. You are my kitty and I am
going to keep you." he pulled her to him tightly, "I'd prefer it if you didn't talk to him
anymore."
Sarah tried to pull away but he held her tighter. He kissed her hair and moved his hands
on her back.
"Matt, I can't just stop seeing him. He is my best!"
"Well. It's either that or me," he said pulling away.
Sarah watched Matt walk back to the bed and slip in, "You can't make me choose."
He gave her the come here look. She turned her head away from him, so as not to see him
ask her to join him.
"Sarah, why won't you look at me...it's getting late. Come to bed."
She breathed a big sigh and turned to him. She laid on the bed and turned her bedside
light off, "Night Matt." She said with her back toward him.
Kat heard Matt wiggle out of his shorts and into his boxers. He scooted up to her back
and put his arms around her, "G'night, Sarah. I love you." he placed a kiss on the back of her neck
and rubbed her back until she fell asleep.
Sarah awoke and brushed Matt away from her. She went downstairs and put the coffee on
for Matt as she always did. After her shower, she went to the kitchen to find Matt sitting at
the table with a big breakfast laid out, "You cooked. Thanks."
She sat down and he smiled at her, "So...you made up your mind?"
"Bout what?" se asked while suffing her face with bacon.
"Tai."
Sarah quit chewing her food and swallowed it in one gulp. Her face started getting red and
she groped for her milk.
"Oh God...at are you okay?" Matt jumped up and picked her up. He carried her to the
couch, "Oh what do I do..."
Tai heard the phone ring, "Tai, get over here NOW!" Matt exclaimed from the other
line. Tai jumped up and ran next door.
Inside he found Kat on the couch and Matt crying next to her.
Matt looked up, "Help her...she's chocking."
Tai grabbed Sarah and soon the bacon was on the floor. She coughed repeatedly and Tai
held her close. When Sarah started to cry, Tai kissed her forhead, "It's okay. You are okay now."
Matt felt his anger rage. He tried to stay calm and reached to Sarah. Tai pulled her
out of his reach.
"You have done enough here, Tai," Matt said through clenched teeth.
Tai looked at him, "She needs me right now. Can't you see she's..."
"GET OUT!" Matt exclaimed.
Tai stood up and Sarah watched him leave. When Tai left, Matt looked at Sarah sadly.
He put his arms around her, "Oh, Sarah, I was so scared. I thought I had lost you for sure."
Sarah pushed him away, "Yeah right."
Matt felt his heart break, "Oh Sarah..."
"Don't oh Sarah me. You are jealous of Tai because he helps and sometimes he is better
wtith me than you are." she stood up and turned around.
"I am sorry Sarah. He pulled you away from me and all I wanted was to hold you. I thought
I had lost you and I wanted to feel you in my arms. Is that so bad?"
Sarah turned around, "Sorry won't solve everything."
