Chapter 3

Sora woke up to find herself out of the car and in a bed in her new house. She looked around and knew it needed decorating. She got up and put on a blue shirt and put on her jeans and some socks. She walked out of the room and walked down the stairs but all she saw was a sofa and a TV, No over rooms other than a bathroom was on this floor. She looked to the left of the TV and saw another lot of stairs and then a lift to her right. It must have been a penthouse! She ran downstairs to see the kitchen where the assistants were making a roast breakfast. Sora then said.
"Morning, what you cooking?" she asked.
"Sausage, Eggs, Beans and Eggs Sora, oh and let me introduce myself. My name is Clair and the other is Dom and we'll be helping take car of your parents" she explained.
"Please to meet you, oh and is this my new house?" Sora replied
"Yes, because your dad is handicapped he managed to get money out of the government and he had enough to buy this place and to have it decorated and to live on forever, isn't that great?" she said.
"Yeah it is!"

Clair finishes cooking the food and puts it on a plate. She points to the dinner table and tells Sora to sit down. Sora sits and grabs her knife and fork and starts eating away. She says.
"It's been a while since I've had a nice breakfast, I know I'll get used to this, you're a great cook" she said grinning.
"Thank you Sora"
She finishes eating. Then she remembered something. When they were little they used to meet that Motimiya kid at the park at around this time. She finished and pushed her chair in.
"Well I'm going out for a while Clair, going to see the old sites. Later"

Sora walked out and went down the lift. She stood there and clicked for the ground floor. It went down the lobby and she exited the elevator and then walked through the lobby and through the doors where the guards stood. She looked up and turned round and noticed it was the Yamada Penthouse Apartments just what her parents were hoping for when she was younger. She walked across the street and saw the old park. She went under the gate and sat down. Nobody was around. She sat there waiting for a certain somebody to turn up.

Meanwhile in the Kamiya residence, Taichi woke up to his alarm he slammed it and went back to sleep and hour later he got up and walked to the kitchen where his mum was making pancakes. He looked over her and said.

"Sweet pancakes!" he said excitedly.
His mum place three pancakes on his plate and Tai smothers it in maple syrup and grabs his knife and fork and eats his breakfast pretty quickly. He goes to the fridge and pours himself some orange juice and downed it down. He then said.

"Thanks for the great breakfast mum!" he said, rubbing his stomach.
"Thank you Tai and I are glad you liked it!" his mum replied enthusiastically.
Tai walks into his room and gets dressed, he puts on a blue shirt and puts on some navy trackies, he then puts on his track suit and says to his mum.
"I'm off to the park to meet Davis I'll be back later" he said.
"Be back at 5pm for dinner" she exclaimed.
"Yes mother" Taichi said walking out the door. He closed it.

Taichi walked along the pavement, he only lived a block away from the park. He walked quickly as he noticed the time. He was late! He started to run past people, trying to gain time. He turned a left, then a right, he went straight ahead and turned a left to the Yamada Penthouse Apartments he then crossed and ran through to the gate. He then saw an auburn haired girl sitting on a bench resting her head on her knees. He pulled a shocking face and said.

"Sora? Is that you?" the brunette boy asked.

Sora looked up and saw the brunette boy; her frown had turned into a huge smile. She got up and ran into his arms.

"Tai, I've missed you so much" she said with a grin.
"What are you doing her Sor? And what is the matter" he embraced her and asked.
"We've moved back to Obaida." She smiled and looked up at Tai.
"That's great! I'm so happy to see you!" Tai lifts her up and twirls her round.
"Tai" she said nervously
"Yes?" he replied with a concern look on his face.
"I need to tell you something, important. The reason we are back" she said quietly. She lowers her head
"What is it Sora? Spill it" Tai lifts her head up to make her look in his eyes.
"We got assaulted and had a lot of our possessions taken from us, dad is permanently disabled and my mum is severely bruised. I also had my head cut open." She then started to cry.
"Don't cry Sor, don't worry I'm here for you girl." Tai hugged her again this time stroking her hair at the same time. They both get on their knees still in the embrace.

Then Sora said quietly.
"I was so scared; I thought my parents were dead. It was horrible; I had nobody to protect me and nowhere to go. They were lying in a pool of blood and I was hit in the head with a vase. I was out for three days. My parents were so scared after they were fit enough to go off in a wheelchair they decided to move back here" she babbled.
Tai put his fingers on her lips and said.
"Don't worry I'm here for you, just stay calm and breathe in. Try to forget the thoughts." he explained.
"Oh Tai!" Sora then put her arms over her.

Tai started patting her on the back and she said to Tai.
"Tai…." She said stopping in her tracks.
"Yes Sora?" he replied
"Don't ever leave my side, please don't. I feel a lot safer when I'm around you."
She said slowly and quietly after stopping the tears. He wipes them away and they move in and he kisses her on the cheek.

"I won't Sora, I promise you I'll protect you" he replied.

"Thanks Tai, you're the best" she replied.

"Yeah I know" he said smiling. Sora then smiled back and he asked. "You want to go and get something to eat I'm starved!

"Is that all you ever think of!" Sora starts to laugh.

"Yeah I didn't have much of a breakfast." He said.

"Yeah right, your mum probably made you pancakes as per usual" she joked.
"How'd you know?" he said.
"Just a guess" she giggled.

Tai grabbed her by the hand and pulled her up; they walked out of the park to the west and headed to the nearest café. Tai then called Davis and called off the one on one match and they walked in the café and sat down.
