Disclaimer: Digimon ended as Sorato. This is Taiora. See the problem here? Its safe to say I don't own it. On the other hand, I do own Noa and love his pervy self to pieces.
When I walked into Noa's office to see the new bombshell that was supposed to be my partner I did not expect to see Sora, my childhood best friend and the girl who broke my heart ten years earlier. I had lost touch with her and the other chosen since that fateful night where she chose Matt over me. I slowly faded into the background, spending less time with them and more time with my soccer team. Now the only four I really kept in contact with were Kari, Takeru (who was now my brother in law), Koushiro and Daisuke. I talked to Jyou too, but it's a professional relationship; he's my doctor.
Sora and Matt I could hardly stand to be near though. Matt had betrayed me and Sora rejected me. Now, all these years later my dream girl had resurfaced, and I was supposed to have sex with her.
"So I guess the rumors are true, eh?" She looked at me, confused. I personally wanted to smack myself for what I had just said, but had to press on anyways. "That you and Matt broke up."
She scowled. Open foot and insert mouth, Yagami. "Yeah, but don't believe a word he said about me. The little fucker was cheating on me, with Yutaka."
I laughed, a good hearty laugh. "I always suspected that he wasn't straight, at least not completely, but he beat me out for your heart."
Noa was looking between the two of us, trying to figure out what was going on. "Do you two know each other? Because if not, this is some creepy shit."
Sora and I looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
"That would be an understatement. Sora and I were born in the same room, on the same day, merely five minutes apart. Our mom's knew each other and so we became pretty close friends. We did lose touch over the years though. Last time I saw you was... Takeru and Hikari's wedding three years ago?"
"Yeah, but its not like we really talked or anything. I was a bridesmaid and you were a groomsmen so we were pretty busy most of the time. I'm surprised we didn't run into each other when Kari had Tomatsu or at one of his birthday parties. We must have just missed each other."
I shrugged. It was less that we missed each other and more that I was avoiding the happy couple like the plague.
"Well, I guess we ought to get on with it," Noa said, still perplexed. "I have your guy's scripts right back here..." With that he went on to explain the script and give us a quick read through, most of which consisted of random moans and groans. The script was about two friends who happened to get snowed in on a mountain and are suitably bored, so what do they decide to do? They fuck. Of course, there was no where to film this around here. We were going to have to pack our bags because were going to go to Mount Kita for filming.
When everything was said and done Noa gave us what we needed and sent us out the door to prepare.
"Hey, Sora! Wait up a second!" I called at Sora's retreating form. She stopped and turned around, looking at me expectantly. I gave her a big grin and scratched the back of my head, realizing I hadn't thought past stopping her. "I was wondering if you wanted to go grab a bite to eat and some coffee? My treat. I'd like to catch up and all, if you got time. It's been far too long since we've done anything together."
Sora's face lit up, making me feel guilty. I was the reason we hadn't spoken in so long. She tried to be friendly with me after her and Matt got together, but I blew her off so much that she just quit trying. "Sure, why not? I'm not doing anything until I go hang out with Mimi later on tonight and it's only what, two?"
I glanced down at my watch. "Sure is. Best thing about this job, at least with Noa. He gets straight to the point, gets everything done and you're off to star in another film just that quickly."
She nodded and we left the building, just in case Noa thought of something new. We walked in silence to the new coffee shop down the road. We both ordered our food and sat down quickly, unsure of what to say.
Eventually Sora broke the silence.
"So how did you get into this industry?" She blushed, embarrassed about asking something that might be too personal, then back tracked. "If you don't mind me asking, that is."
I leaned back in the chair, putting my hands behind my head. "No problem. I was at college on a full ride soccer scholarship, then I got side swiped from the other teams forward. I broke my knee and was out of school for a long trying to get it all straightened out, especially when I lost my scholarship. The guy had hit me so hard that they couldn't repair the damage completely. I spent quite a bit of time watching TV and, when I got horny, found some porn. I started thinking about how I could do that. I was good looking, tan and toned and I'm well hung. I found Noa's website and sent him an email asking what I'd need to do to get in and the rest is history, although I'm pretty sure I'm going to be done with all of it at the end of next year. I'll be through with college and on to a real job. How about you?"
Sora sighed and relayed her story. I didn't know what to believe when I heard the rumors that Matt told the tabloids about her, but seeing her and what she was going through I knew he had lied about everything and that she was telling the truth. To be honest, it didn't really surprise me. As he got older, he changed and it wasn't for the better.
Once the awkwardness was broken we talked just like old times. If you could name a subject, we talked about. Serious, in depth discussions, light hearted and funny anecdotes, our conversation was all over the scale and we were so involved we forgot about everything else, including our plans.
"Oh shit," Sora said, glaring at her watch. "I was supposed to be at Mimi's an hour ago and I turned off my phone when I went in to talk to Noa."
I looked at her, confused. It couldn't have been that long, could it have? "What time is it?"
"Seven," she said as she turned on her phone. I looked at her, shocked. I couldn't believe that we had been here for the past five hours, talking away. Then I remembered that I had plans too.
"Dammit! I was supposed to pick Dai up to watch the soccer game at five-thirty. He's going to be really pissed off at me." I dug my phone out of my pocket and turned it on, seeing ten new messages, all from Daisuke, all wondering why I hadn't come to get him. I grimaced. "We better get going. Where's your car?"
Sora blushed and looked away. "I haven't been able to afford one."
"Ah, that's fine. Want a lift? This way you won't have to wait for the train." She nodded graciously, but then stopped.
"Don't you have to pick up Daisuke?"I shrugged.
"He should have paid his cable bill. It's not my job to make sure that he can see the game. If I had had to work or had already had plans then he wouldn't get to see it at all."
She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Typical Dai."
Reviews!
l0vescream- Good to know you're interested. I have to arcs to this plot and basically have it all outlined. Hope you keep reading!
TaioraWarrior- I seem to have a thing for my best friends. Lol. On the other hand we aren't in this kind of situation. They were best friends, but haven't really spoken since they were fourteen and Tai still has feelings for Sora, so it'll be more like a dream come true to him then something awkward.
Daiz Uzumaki- I have a thing for writing stories that are a little off the wall. Good to know you're enjoying it so far and hope that you keep reading!
Wakka Wakka- Sora and Tai are actually only twenty-four, it's only ten years later. She is not a virgin, having given it to Matt year's ago. Good to see your interested and hope you stay that way!
Appealtoreason- I don't generally care about haters, but I don't like to Matt seem too terrible. With the exception of the Sora stealing, he was my favorite character, although it's really hard to choose. Trolls shall just be ignored, I now because my boyfriend likes to troll and I shake my head at him. Hope you enjoyed this chapter too!
