Chapter Six : Memoir Lullaby
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Taichi chewed on a lollipop ( sadly not the ones he made Yamato ) and leaned against the back of Hikari'a computer chair, ignoring the presence of his annoying younger sister who thre admonishing glares at him every so often. He turned to look at her, looking bored and put out, and she returned the look edged with hate.
" What you want, Hikari? "
Hikari just glared and crossed her arms over her flat chest. " Do I have to want something to be in the presence of my 'dear' older 'brother'. "
" Yes, " Taichi said immediately, " and stop the dark looks. It doesn't suit your pretty little face. "
" Jerk, " She grummbled causing Taichi to smirk slightly.
" Now come Hika, " He said using her nickname from him, " You love your dear older brother. "
" There are two flaws with your statement. " Hikari said holding up two fingers.
" Oh? "
She nodded. " One: I hate you. And two: We're not really related. "
Taichi pouted and sulked. " So? We don't have to be related by blood, only by heart. "
" I wonder why Mom and Dad adopted you in the first place... " Kari mummbled, smiling slightly at Taichi. Damn him and his split personality, damn him.
" My charm? "
Hikari laughed. " Yeah, right. Some charm. "
Taichi stuck his tounge out and turned back to the computer. Stupid Hikari and her damn combacks. Damn her and her pretty little face. Deciding to push all thoughts of Hikari out of his mind, he turned his thoughts to his 'date' only an hour ago. Just thinking about it made the slightest hint of a blush creep onto his face. And Taichi Yagami did not blush.
Unless he was around Yamato. That was different.
Way different.
Sighing, he stood and stretched and turned tword Hikari who was now looking at him with pity and...sadness. The same look she wore when he first met her.
" Hey, " he said walking over to her bed, sitting beside her and looking her strait into her maroon eyes, " What did I tell you about the pity looks. "
Hikari hung her head and put her hands in her lap. " I can't help it, " she said softly, " everytime I look at you I think about the first time you came here. All gloomy and depressed, reeking of death and sorrow. It was my first encounter with such an aura. "
Taichi too, remembered the devastated child he was, and looking at his reflectioned blank uncaring eyes. " Don't feel pity, Hikari, " he said whispering, " feel love even if it's returned hate. "
Hikari sniffed. " It's hard though, " she said rubbing her eyes, " because you make it so difficult to love you. It's like you deflect it and don't feel it. It's also those cold looks. Those hollow eyes. Mom and Dad try their best, and so do I, but our love just doesn't seem to reach you. "
Taichi looked at his hands. It was true. Everytime, every fucking time, they showed him love, he pushed them away with glares and words that he didn't mean. He wanted to love them, he really did. But he couldn't. It was too hard to love a family.
" Taichi? "
" Yeah? " He asked looking at the timid girl.
" Since your saying some heartful things I want to say some things too, okay? " At Taichi's nod, she continued. " When Mom offers you a hug, take it. And when Dad compliments you, don't brush it off, accept it with a smile. And when I try to show you love, don't block it with insults and smugness, take it with open arms so that you can feel the warmth, not the figid air. "
Taichi smiled.
Such deep words for and ten year old...
...damn their intelligence.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Yamato sat, head in hands, listening to Sora ramble on about...something.
He wasn't really paying attention.
Sipping his mocha frapichino, he occasionaly nodded and said 'yes' to make-believe Sora that he was listening. How could girls ramble on about useless stuff like...whatever Soar was talking about. And whatever it was it was sure to be useless. Why couldn't they just sit and enjoy each other's presence like he and Taichi did? Things would go so much smoother. And more enjoyable, he thought sighing.
" Matty, is something wrong? "
Looking up into Sora's worried amber eyes, he smiled and shook his head. Sora too smiled, and gripped his hand, intertwining their fingers and for some eason, Yamato noticed, they fit rather awkwardly together.
" Are you going to answer me, Matty? "
" Huh? "
Sora sighed and looked at Yamato's eyes, squinting like a shrew before she answered. " I said, " she said, empasizing her words, " what do you think of Kamiya? "
At the mention of Taichi's surename, he felt his heart speed up for unknown reasons.
" Just a kid from school, nothing more. "
" Really? " Sora asked.
He nodded, noticing the tightness of his chest, the squeezing and the pressue of it as he said things about Kamiya.
" You know something, Matty? "
" What? "
Sora stared at him pointedly, " Iz says there's a eighty-one percent chance you have some sort of feelings for him. "
Yamato stared at Sora, and tried to think of a way to get her off his back; fuck Valentine's day, she was getting annoying. " Sora, " he said, narrowing his eyes, " if I was with Taichi, which I'm not, and if I liked him, which I don 't, would I be with you here right now? Now, " He said scooting his chair back, ignoring the horrified look on her slim pale face, he stalked out of the room, hands deep in his pocets, " if you excuse me. "
Sora stared at his retreating back, brow furrowing, eyes glaring.
" Thought so. " She mummbled, the gears in her head turning, thinking of ways to get rid if a pest.
A very big one that was interfearing with Yamato's and hers' relationship.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Yamato walked, hands in pockets, looking at his feet as he made his way home. Why did he stalk off? Was it what Sora said? Or was it Taichi in peticular? Sighing he took his hands out and ran them through his blonde locks, noticing the slight bulge in his hoodie pocket. Reaching in, he drew out a beautifully wrapped chocolate, wrapped in bright baby blue paper with a bright pink bow that had shiny heart dangling from it, along with a wrapped parcel.
Now because of his outburst he couldn't give it to her. Because of his mixed up feelings, he was starting to hate the auburn haired girl, the same one that he had felt so strongliny for. His first love.
' That's a lie, ' his mind argued, ' your first love was a young boy you met when you were litttle, the one behind the fence. '
Yamato remembered that boy. Not a lot, but he remembered. He remembered his smile and laugh, but not what he looked like. After he died, Yamato forgot. He forgot everything except the smile and laugh. Everything.
Then Sora showed up. Partners for a project and he felt that familiar feeling inside of him. Then they dated. For tree years it went strong, but then Kamiya had to waltz in and ruien what the two had built up. The trust and love that was there was slowly but surely dissappearing. And Yamato was sure he didn't care.
All he wanted at the moment, was peace.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Hikari shut her eyes, lulled by Taichi's soft voice as he told her a story about when he was younger. Hikari loved to hear these stories. They were saad, loving, and mysterious all rolled into one. It was better then a book and Hikari loved the warm feeling that creeped up inside when Taichi told her about the orphanage family and how they stuck to each other for warmth and friendship.
The complete opposite of their home.
Sighing, she rolled on her back, and glanced at Taichi, noticing the soft smile on his feminine face, eyes half closed, telling her a story of his past, not sounding sad or wanting, but familiar and loving. She longed for Taichi to be able to show this side to the whole family, but he couldn't.
But that was slowly changing.
He was s lowly starting to reconize true love, not wanting love, and deep feelings. He was slowly changing into a more loving person and Hikari silently thanked who ever brought it out.
" Hey, Taichi? " She asked quietly.
Brought out of his story, he opened his eyes fully in question. " Yeah? "
" Sing me a lullaby. " She begged softly.
Taichi frowned. " That's the first time you ever wanted me to sing for you, Hikari. Why now? "
" I want to hear your voice. "
It was so blunt and to the point that Taichi felt a small smile creep onto his face.
" Which one? "
Surprised that he was acually going to sing, she thought of all the stories and songs Taichi told her about before resting on a sad but heart warming memory. " The one your real mo sang to you. "
Taichi lowered his head, thinking of his real parents before nodding and humming before the lyrics made their way smoothly from his mouth.
" When day time turns to night,
when the moon shines broght.
When your tucked in tight,
and everything's all right. "
Hikari smilied, loving the song and the way Taichi sang it, so full of llove and longing, she closed he eyes and let the melody wash over her.
" Slip softly to that place,
where secret thoughts run free.
And there come face to face,
with who you want to be. "
Taichi let the words flow, lost in his own memories of his mother. Her loving voice and gentle touches that out him into a relaxed feeling.
' See those stars, Tai? Remember them and remember your future is bright. Even though the road may be bumpy, take it in stride and never change who you are. '
" So, swim across the ocean blue,
fly a rockett to the moon.
You can change your life,
or you can change the world. "
Feeling wetness on his cheeks, he reached up and felt the tears that he never let out and though they were slient, they said alot about him.
" Take a chance, don't be afraid,
life is yours to live.
Take a chance,
and then the best is yet to come. "
' Remember Taichi, your father and I are always with you. And remember, don't doubt love and don't doubt yourself. '
" Make a wish, it's up to you.
Find the strength inside,
and watch your dream come true.
You don't need a shooting star,
the magics right there in your heart.
Close your eyes,
believe,... "
Hikari finally fell into a slumber, falling to the tone and soft words of Taichi favorite lullaby. And secretly, she was glad he shared it with her.
" And make a wish. "
Taichi looked at his sister and brought the covers up to her chest, before ruffling her hair.
' Make a wish, Taichi. '
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
There. I basically wrote this for Moppy, in all her glory because even though she didn't say it, she wanted a brother/sister moment. And I also wanted to describe Yamato and his mixed up feelings. Sorry, no action really. Just fluff and love...
