The next day found Tai at a loss for words as the friends had gathered for an outing but someone was missing
"Where's Yu?" asked Tai as the girls looked at one another in uncertainly
"Is she still mad at Tai for his insensitivity towards her for the last two days?" asked Izzy thinking about how Tai had blown her off with the drink thing and how he'd basically told her he didn't want to try with their engagement and blew her off with that as well
"Uh you could say that" said Mimi
"What do you mean 'you could say that' Mimi where's Sai?" asked Matt worried as the girls gave the boys an apologetic look and then looked at each other
"Where is she?" asked Izzy as Joe and Tk tried to understand why the girls would hid something from them
"I can't take it anymore" said Mimi as Kari beat her to the punch line
"She's gone" said Kari as the boys looked at Kari as if she were a two headed monster
"What do you mean gone?" they cried
"Alright that's enough" said Sora as Michiko cut in
"To be more precise she's leaving"
"Where's she going?" asked Tai
"Away" said Kari sad
"But to where?" pressed Tk
"She didn't say just asked us to keep quiet about it" said Michiko
"When is she leaving?" asked Tai
"In less than an hour" replied Sora as she watched Tai run off
"Do you think it's alright to have Tai chase after Sai?" asked Mimi in a whisper to Sora
Nodding her head Sora looked at the sky.
At the airport Sai gathered her purse and got out of the car she was running late.
Hurrying into the airport she had less than fifteen minutes to get to her gate before her flight was canceled
Walking up the escalator she came to a halt and sat down it was now ten minutes till her flight was ready so she took a seat and began to text her friends good bye and how sorry she was it was seven minutes later that Sai got to Tai's number as she stared at the digits on her cell phone and sighed as she sent a simple good bye
Standing up Sai began walking to her gate at the end of the hall where she could see her pilot whom waved and waited for her she then heard her name called as her brow furrowed and she was grabbed by the hand.
Looking down she saw her small hand in a much larger one as she followed the hand up into deep melted chocolate eyes; the eyes of someone she didn't want to see.
"Yu" he panted
"Why are you here?" she whispered as she felt tears well up inside
"Where are you going?" he asked sad
"Leave me alone, please just let me go" she begged
"I can't you're my best friend" he replied as she broke a bit inside
"Why are you leaving is it because I've been inconsiderate towards you?" asked Tai as his eyes pleaded that she come back
"Yu" he called again as he tugged on her hand "Please I didn't mean to make it sound like I don't care about you I'm sorry just please don't go" tugging on her hand he pulled her into a hug that made her crumble at once and forgive him for everything
"Alright" she mumbled into his chest as he held her close
Sitting on the plane Sai imagined her life in New York had her heart breaker not stopped her
"So why are we going to New York?" asked Tai
"Since you're apologizing to me and I'm already packed you're coming on vacation with me to New York since you got a lot of making up to do" replied Saiyuri
"My parents are gonna kill me I was suppose to have dinner with my parents and their friend tomorrow night" said Tai
"I already called my parents and your parents to explain it" said Sai as she looked out the window sadly and thought back
"Are you sure?" asked her mother
"Yes okaasan when he looks at me like he did I can't help but do whatever he asks" she replied
"Then the marriage is still on?" asked her mother
"Yes okaasan, only because I don't think I could ever get away from him even if I did what I wanted he'd have chased me and hunted me down and looked at me and I would have crumbled and come back home with him anyway"
"Yaaay!" cried her mother. As Sai sweat dropped
"I quite like Tai," explained her mother as she quieted down "but can you handle it?" asked her mother
"I'll try" said Sai before hanging up with her mother a little more depressed then when she was leaving as she texted Kari about what happened and Kari had replied that her parents where ok with it.
The morning after they arrived found Tai and Sai walking around New York as Tai groaned about carrying Saiyuri's bags and Sai promptly ignored him still a little sore about Tai
"Yu are you done yet?" asked Tai as he held 5 bags of gifts for everyone
"No but I am hungry" said Yu as she entered a restaurant and was seated immediately and the bags taken and sent back to Yu's rooms
After a long silence Tai looked at Saiyuri and reached for her hand
"I'm sorry Yu, I really am for everything" said Tai as Saiyuri looked sadly into his eyes
"Sorry for what Tai I need to hear what you're sorry for" said Yu
"Sorry for I don't know" blushed Tai embarrassed "I'm sorry for being in considerate and for assuming you liked Matt when I knew that you see him as a brother"
Saiyuri mentally sighed well it's a start she thought as she bit her lip
"Why must you chase me" she mumbled making Tai cock his eyebrow
"Because you're my friend" replied Tai as this time Saiyuri blushed as she realized she accidentally let that out
"I didn't…" began Saiyuri as they're food arrived and the subject died as soon as Tai dug in
I didn't mean it like that, thought Saiyuri as she began on her pasta I meant why can't you let me go when you so obviously hold Sora so dear to your heart that it causes mine to break and bleed.
That night Saiyuri sat on the couch within the sitting room of the Suite and opened a very special book of hers'
The book held a poem that her teacher had assigned as a project to her and Tai when they were younger; in the same class they had to write vows using the poem as a project.
She read:
"When the sunlight touches the ground, I miss you
When the shadow of the moonlight slowly climbs up, I miss you
When the dust finally settles down, I'd see you
Meeting in the deep night, I still can see your shadow
When the waves crash, I hear your voice
As everyone falls asleep in the midst of quite forest, I hear your voice
No matter how far, I'd be by your side
You'd be by my side, When the sun sets and the stars shines
Ah... If only you're by my side"
(Quote from Wedding K-drama ah… loved this drama very good you should watch it!)
"I remember that one" called a voice as it startled Saiyuri
Tai smiled at her as he looked at her from over her shoulder
"I remember that project I can't believe you actually went out and bought that book" said Tai with a chuckle as Saiyuri blushed
"I quite like this poem" she cried as she stood offended and began to walk away startling Tai
"Wa…wait" cried Tai as he chased after her while she ignored him once again and left closing her bedroom door in his face.
"Yu" called Tai again for what seemed like the 100th time "I'm sorry" he called as he leaned against her door
"You're a jerk" replied Saiyuri as she opened the door and knowingly moved to the side to allow Tai's head to hit the ground
"Yu I don't get you anymore" admitted Tai as he sat up in the door way as she sat upon her bed in the middle of her giant room quite as she sat away from him and listened
"When we were kids it was simpler and now we're all growing up and my feelings have changed towards Sora and the way we think is so different like can you believe Matt and Izzy thought you were in love with me" babbled Tai as Saiyuri's breath caught in her throat
"Is that what they said?" she asked as Tai stood up and nodded
"Yea I'm sorry I was so stupid I should have known better then to think you like Matt so I definitely know you don't like me that way we're best friends" said Tai as he smiled and leaned against the wall
"Of course you're stupid Tai" replied Saiyuri as a tear slipped past
"I'm a bit tired will you close my door and go Tai, I think I'll go to bed already" said Saiyuri as Tai nodded
"Oh alright well I'll see you in the morning, we'll be heading back to Japan day after tomorrow right?" asked Tai as Saiyuri nodded
"Yea day after"
Arriving in Japan Saiyuri mentally sighed as she and Tai got into her town car driven by her driver
"Where to Lady Saiyuri?" asked the driver as Saiyuri smiled at him reassuringly
"To the Kamiya estate if you will please" replied Saiyuri feeling a little depressed but hiding it
"Yes milady" replied the driver as they drove off
As they rode along in silence with the driver looking into the review mirror every now and then Tai looked at Saiyuri nervously
"About the arranged marriage" said Tai as this caught Saiyuri's attention
"I mean my parents they won't agree to break the arrangement I tried to I'm sorry they won't budge so do you think we can just agree to do as we like?" asked Tai as Saiyuri nodded holding back tears.
"We've arrived" announced the driver
As the car came to a stop as the driver got out and opened the door
"We'll talk more later I'm glad we're still friends Yu I'll call you tonight" said Tai as he got out and smiled to Saiyuri as she nodded
Arriving home Saiyuri went to her bedroom and fell into a deep and even more tiring sleep.
Awaking with a jolt Saiyuri placed her hand onto her heart as tears fell
"Why" she cried
