Life and Love
Chapter Three- A new beginning?

Disclaimer: you know this by now- or at least I would hope you would…….

The next day Sora woke late and got dressed. She walked out into the living room and found a big vase of flowers sitting on the table. She went over and smelt the roses. There was a white card near the vase.

Sora
I hope today goes better for you.
If not, I'll be here to help. Call me :)
Davis

She smiled and picked up the phone.
"Hello, is Davis there?" She asked as a girl's voice answered.
"Just a second please."
"Hello." Davis said.
"Davis, it's Sora."
"Hi, how are you doing?"
"Better, thanks for the flowers."
"No problem. I was close to your mom's shop this morning so I thought I'd see if you were up. But she said you were still asleep, so I got those for you. Your mom and I had a nice talk too, she seemed really nice." Sora smiled. She never knew Davis to be so… thoughtful;.
"Hey Sora…" Davis started.
"Ya?"
"Do you want to go out and catch a movie or something?" He said nervously.
"Sure. That sounds like fun." Sora said.
"Great. I'll stop by in a little while, ok?"
"Sure. I can't wait."
"Bye." He said as he hung up the phone and jumped in the air. He quickly went into his room and changed into better looking cloths than his usual shorts. He soon left for Sora's house, which was a good distance away.
Sora went into her room and dressed up a bit. She knew that Davis wouldn't care what she wore. 'Maybe we can check out that new karaoke club after a movie.' she thought. She put on s short black skirt and a form fitting tee shirt. Davis was there shortly. As Sora opened the door she noticed he was actually wearing dress cloths. He looked handsome in the black pants and a white button up shirt. Sora smiled as she noticed him for the first time w/o the usual head gear.
"Wow you look nice." He complimented Sora.
"So do you." She replied.
"So where do you want to go?" He asked as he took her hand and acted like a gentleman.
"Well any good movies out?" She asked.
"Sure, we can go see a movie, then where?"
"Well there's that marketplace- I've been meaning to go there and see what it's like." She smiled.
"Great." Davis said. "I love that place." They continued to chatter as they walked to the theaters.
After the movie they walked arm in arm to the night club. So far Davis had gotten Sora to forget about her troubles and she was actually having a good time.
They entered the night club. The base beat loudly as the dance floor was full of people.
Davis took Sora's hand and they sat down in a booth near the dance floor and karaoke stage.
"So do you want to karaoke with me?" Davis asked after he had ordered their drinks.
"No thanks." Sora said as she watched other people jump on stage and give their rendition of classic songs.
"Fine then, I'm going up." Davis said with a smile. He chose his song and picked up the microphone as he walked to the center of the small stage. "This is dedicated to a lovely girl who thought her life was over, but Sora this is only the beginning." he said as the music began to play. The tune was "Your Song" (from the movie Moulin Rouge- great movie- I don't own that either- oh I wish ). Sora had never heard Davis sing before, but she was amazed as a beautiful voice called out. She began to blush as he sang to her. He took the microphone and went over to the booth. He gently grabbed her hand and led her on to the dance floor. There he sang to her in front of hundreds of people. Soon she started to sing with him. Davis held her close as they sang the song. Their eyes met, the moment was so romantic as their foreheads touched.
As they finished the song Davis drew Sora into a passionate kiss as the crowd cheered. They left the stage holding hands and blushing as the crowd continued to cheer.
"That was fun." Sora giggled. She began to sip her water, while Davis gulped down a pop. "I never knew you had such a good voice."
"Here and at home are the only places I sing." He blushed. "So now do you want to dance?" He asked as he reached out for her hand. She accepted it and soon they were twirling out on the dance floor. At first they both felt awkward, but as the music played, they began to dance closer to each other.

Little did the happy couple realize that a pair of chocolate eyes were watching them. It was none other than Taichi, and his date Margaret. Tai was completely stunned as Davis sang to Sora and then they….kissed. Tai felt the same jealous pangs he had felt when Sora and Matt were going out. Now he just watched as they danced together. A slow song came and Davis immediately pulled Sora closer. She threw her arms around the boy's neck as his hands held her. Tai felt the anger surge as they kissed once again.
"Margaret, do you want to dance?" Taichi asked the girl that sat at his side.
"It's about time Taichi." She said coldly. As she got up and pulled him close to her and began to dance.

"Davis I'm having a wonderful time." Sora sighed as she rested her head on his shoulders. She smelt his musky cologne.
"Ya, me too." He said as he let his hands feel her slender back. They swayed there together both enjoying the moment.
Davis took his eyes off of Sora and looked around the club. He wore a huge smile on his face, as he reflected on the evening's events. Suddenly he got a shiver as he saw a pair of familiar eyes. The stare and facial expression that greeted him was not friendly. Tai was staring directly at Davis as he danced close to Sora. Davis tried to ignore Tai's gaze, but every where he turned Tai's face followed. Davis held tighter to Sora. There was a mental war raging between the two boys.
Davis was confused. 'If Tai told Sora to get out of his life and that he didn't love her…. Then why is he looking at me with so much hate?' He questioned himself.
Over where Tai was, similar questions arrived. 'Why am I feeling this way, if I don't like her? Why can't I stand to see her with any other guy? Do I really lover her? What about Margaret?'
The song ended and Davis released Sora from the tight embrace. They both smiled.
"I never knew you could dance, either." she said sweetly.
"I'm just full of surprises. aren't I?" He asked with a smooth smile. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Her touch was so heavenly to him… "So do you want to leave and take a stroll in the park?" He asked.
"Sure." She replied and let Davis lead her out of the club.

"Margaret?" Tai whispered to the girl that held to him tightly.
"What Taichi?" She sighed with her head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry I've been distant tonight, do you maybe want to go for a walk?" He asked. Knowing all to well he wanted to hunt Davis down and hurt him.
"That would be so romantic." The girl said as she took his hand and the quickly left the bar. Tai was unclear of his motives… 'do I want to hurt Davis? What is this feeling?' He battled with himself.

Davis and Sora held hands and walked side by side through the park. Davis led her to a bench near a clearing. They sat and watched the stars twinkle for a time. Sora sighed as she curled up next to Davis.
Tai and Margaret were not to far off, sitting on a bench with in hearing distance from the couple. Margaret took this opportunity to begin to kiss Taichi. She was literally making out with him, and yet he didn't kiss back. He continued to watch Davis and Sora out of one eye.
Sora was leaning on his shoulder as Davis pointed up to the sky, they laughed and talked for a while. Davis took Sora's face in his hands. Their eyes stared into each other's for what seemed like an eternity, until they had locked lips, creating a tender bliss.
Tai's anger flared up suddenly as he witnessed the last straw. He would have gotten up and ran over to them, if it weren't for Margaret. She had gotten quite sick of being ignored and pushed aside tonight.
"Tai? Tai!" She said. He Didn't answer. "I'm leaving taichi kamiya! You aren't paying any attention to me. I'll call you tomorrow, maybe then you'll wake up from your little dream." She said as she left Tai alone on the bench. Tai didn't really notice her leaving, he was still fixed on Sora and Davis.
It was getting late and the cold wind blew across the park. Sora got goose bumps from the cold.
"You cold?" Davis asked. She nodded.
I suppose I should get you home." They both stood up. Davis helped her to her feet. And they began to walk out of the park and towards Sora's home. Tai wasn't to far from them- he didn't know what he was going to do… but he had to do something… sometime…
"I had a great night… we should do this again." She smiled as she gave Davis a good night kiss outside her apartment door. He smiled as he walked towards his house.
When he was not ever two blocks from Sora's place, Tai stepped out in front of Davis suddenly. Tai had been waiting in the darkened alley for Davis to come by.
"Geesh Tai! Give me a heart attack. Will ya?" dais said startled from the sudden appearance.
Tai looked at Davis still with the enraged expression on his face.
"Stay away from Sora." He said coldly.
"What?"
"You heard me- if you know what's good for you- you'll stay away from her."
"Tai? I don't understand you. You have your chance to date her, and don't. And now you say others can't date her? Forget it Tai. She's perfect, ok? And I love her. Davis tried to continue walking abut Tai stopped him again.
"I'm warning you!"
"NO! And I'm telling you that I am dating Sora- no matter what you threaten me with." In a heart beat Tai found his arm swinging back and punching Davis hard. Davis immediately swung back at Tai. Soon both the boys were bleeding. Davis hit Tai. Tai momentarily was caught off balance, and Davis took off running. Knowing that he could never win against Tai. Tai didn't follow, instead he walked home…
