Chapter 3
The foursome were walking down the street with three of them laughing at what happened sometime ago.
"I still can't believe it" Kari said in between her laughter
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up" Tai mumbled
"Come Tai, it was extremely funny" Sora said in between her laughter
"For you it was, but I'm the one who fell into the fountain" Tai said as he wrung out his shirt for the third time
"Aw poor baby" Sora said sarcastically making TK and Kari burst out laughing again
"Shove it Takenouchi" Tai muttered
Sora rolled her eyes because she knew that Tai didn't mean it
"Come on, let's get something to eat" Sora said hoping to perk Tai up
TK and Kari nodded
"I've heard this place was supposed to be good" TK said as they entered the restaurant
"Yeah, I've been wanting to try it for a while" Sora said grinning
"Well enough talking, let's order" Tai said impatiently
"Tai, be patient" Kari chided
"Yes mom" Tai mocked
This made TK and Sora laugh
After they ordered they settled down and reminisced on old times.
"I still can't believe we saved the world" Tai said shaking his head
"Really, I thought that was a dream of yours" Sora said looking at her best friend
"You've got to be joking right Sor? My dream was being the best soccer player in the world, I had no dream of saving the world, ever" Tai said thinking back at his youth
"I wish was with you guys the first time around" Kari said wistfully
"Yeah, but that's fate for you" TK said smiling
Everyone nodded
"So, is Davis still bragging about his "awesome" soccer skills?" Tai asked curiously
"He never quit" TK said with a sigh
"It's getting tiresome though, I think you need to come back and humble him a bit" Kari said shaking her head
Tai nodded
Sora looked at her best friend and smiled
"I have a great idea" she said
Tai turned to Sora
"Why don't I challenge Davis this time. Since he thinks I'm no match for him" Sora said smiling
"I love the way your mind works Sor" Tai said matching her smile
"You two freak me out when you're scheming" TK said shivering slightly
"Well would rather we put our effort in scheming against Davis or you?" Sora asked grinning evilly
"I-I r-rather it be Davis" TK stuttered with fear
"Good answer TK" Tai said smiling
Kari sighed
"Quit scaring him you two" she chided
"But it's so fun" Tai whined
The others laughed at Tai's immaturity
--
After the meal the group left to explore some more.
"Say you two, why don't you go have some fun on your own and we'll meet back at the apartment later" Tai suggested
"Alright" the two teens said as the walked away
"Tai, do you think that was a smart idea?" Sora asked as soon as the two teen were out of sight
"Of course, if they are going to get together then it's better for them to be alone than have us hovering over them" Tai said in a matter-of-fact tone
"That's really smart" Sora said
"Thank you"
"But that doesn't sound like the Tai I grew up with, so what's the catch?" Sora asked
"No catch, I've decided that they need to do this on their own" Tai said maturely
Sora looked at her friend trying to figure out this new side she's discovered
When did Tai become so mature? I mean I remember when he created all these half-baked schemes to get his sister and TK together, but this is totally different Sora thought
"What's on your mind Takenouchi?"
"What?"
"I know that look of yours, and it means you're think of something very heavily" Tai said knowingly
Sora shook her head even after all these years and the time they spent apart he still knew all of her facial expressions and what they all meant.
"So are you going to tell me or am I going have to pay for them?" Tai asked smirking now
"I don't think you make enough to afford my thoughts Kamiya" Sora said smiling
"Is that what you think?" Tai said grinning now
Sora was afraid of the smile that was now on Tai's face so she did the only thing she could. She ran.
"Come back here Takenouchi" Tai yelled as he ran after her
"Not on your life" Sora yelled back
"Come on, what did I do to deserve this" Tai shouted as he ran
"You smiled" Sora answered
The two ran around like little kids for a good hour until they end up in the park both exhausted
"I knew I shouldn't have quit soccer" Tai mumbled as he collapsed on the grass
"Why did you? I mean you always dreamed to be a pro soccer player" Sora said as she laid down next to Tai
"Things changed and I decided to take my education seriously" Tai said with his eyes closed
Sora nodded as she remembered the shock when Tai announced he was quitting soccer in their junior year of high school and focused all of his time in to studying. The group thought that Tai was possessed or something and the only explanation he gave was he wanted to be taken seriously.
The two laid there in the grass enjoying the cool feeling and the pleasant company
Sora fell asleep as she listened to Tai's breathing next to her and she found it the most comforting sound she ever heard.
"Time to go" Tai said suddenly
Sora mumbled as she rolled over trying to go back to sleep
Tai rolled his eyes
Why does she have to so hard to wake up Tai thought
He sighed then picked Sora up and carried her home. When he got there he noticed that TK and Kari weren't back yet so he went and put Sora in her room and went to the living room to watch some TV.
--
TK and Kari decided to walk around and look at the sights.
"This is nice" Kari commented
TK looked at her confused
"Just the two of us, no Davis to spoil it" Kari clarified
TK nodded then he took Kari's hand and kissed her knuckles
Kari smiled and lean in and kissed the blond boy on the cheek
"Kari, I know you care about me as much as I care about you, so do we have to keep dancing around each other?" TK said
"I want for us to be together TK, I really do, but Davis makes it hard and I don't want to hurt his feelings" Kari said
"I know you don't to hurt him, but you're prolong it, it will hurt him more if you keep him hanging" TK said
"I hate it when you're right" Kari mumbled
TK smiled and kissed the small brunette on the cheek
"Come on, we need to start to heading back before Tai sends a search party after us" TK said smiling
--
When they got back they found Tai asleep on the couch
"I wonder what got him so tired?" Kari asked
TK shrugged
"He was chasing me, that's why he's tired" Sora said as she exited her room
"Why was he chasing you?" Kari asked curiously
"Because he wanted to know what I was thinking and I wouldn't tell him" Sora answered simply
Kari shook her head at her brother's bouts of immaturity
--
"So what do you guys want to do tonight?" Tai asked as he was drying the dishes that Sora washed
"I don't know, but I think I'm going to turn in early tonight I'm a little tired" Kari said yawning
So the others went into the living room while Kari decided to turn now
"I'm going to say goodnight to Kari" TK said
Tai and Sora nodded
The two sat on the couch as Tai flipped through channels hoping to find something interesting. Sora had her head on Tai's shoulder with her body snuggled against his completely content.
"So what are you in the mood to watch Sor?" Tai asked
Sora however wasn't paying attention as her mind was totally on Tai's warm body and the way she can hear his breathing and how comforting it was.
"Sora?"
She still wasn't paying attention as her focus was on his heartbeat and breathing. It wasn't til he shook her that broke her from her stupor.
"What is it Tai?" Sora asked a bit annoyed
"I asked what you wanted to watch" Tai said
"Oh, I don't care" Sora said moving back into her comfort position
Tai sighed and went back flipping through channels
--
It was late when Tai decided it was time for bed. He glanced around the room and found TK asleep in one of the chair. He then looked down on his right and found Sora curled up against him fast asleep.
She looks so cute Tai thought
He then picked her up and took her to bed
