Fighting For The One You Love

Chapter 7

Was There A Special Feeling For The Kiss?

Sora looked around in desperation, what can she possibly do to end this? She loved Taichi but she also loved Yamato, doesn't she? Taichi watched Sora, silently. He knew that she was thinking it over.

"Taichi, I…I can't say right now…" Sora silently said. (AN. I'm sorry about this…but I have a plan for them)

"Why not, Sora? If you love me, you love me, if you don't, you don't"

"Because I don't know right now!" Sora cried as she started to run away from Taichi.

"Sora, wait!" Taichi called out after her, he tried to get up but the pain in his body pierced him like a thousand knives, stabbing down on his body.

"Sora…" he restlessly mumbled.

Sora drove in her car, with sorrow aching in her heart. If only they knew, she thought, she was stuck between the two. Why is love so gentle and sweet yet so complicated? It's so frustrating! It could drive a person insane! Sora parked her car, then she climbed up the steps to her apartment. She doesn't feel like taking the elevator. In 5-8 minutes time she reached it. She was about to insert her key in when she saw a note pinned on to her front door. Sora grabbed it and read the sloppy white paper in her hands.

Dear Sora,

Hi how are you? I hope you're well. This is Mims by the way, I came back to Japan to do some modeling (Yes I'm a model) in here. I was planning to stay over your place today but you weren't home so I went to Izzy's place to pass the time until you get back. You can pick me up from there, don't be lazy ok? After all he lives just above your apartment. See you later.

Mimi

Sora smiled in delight. Mimi is back in Japan! She could talk to her about her problems. After all, Mimi has a lot of experience. Sora almost laughed when she remembered the time that Mimi slapped a boy a across the face, just because he told Mimi that he loves her.

Sora made her way to Izzy's place, knocked on the wooden door, and waited patiently. Izzy's mother opened the door.

"Konnichiwa, Mrs. Izumi, I was wondering whether Mimi is here?" Sora greeted politely.

"HI Sora, yes Mimi is here, she should be Izzy's room."

Mrs. Izumi stepped aside and let Sora come in. Sora quietly and slowly opened the door to Izzy's room. She saw Mimi and Izzy fast asleep on the small, blue couch. Mimi's head was resting on Izzy's shoulder. A blanket was keeping the two warm and very comfortable. Has they become a couple? Sora didn't have the heart to wake them up. Sora walked out of the room and explained to Mrs. Izumi why Mimi isn't coming with her. Mrs. Izumi nodded understandingly.

"Sorry for bothering" Sora said as she slightly bent down her top half of her body, to show respect to Mrs. Izumi.

"That's ok, dear" Mrs. Izumi replied, smiling at Sora.

Sora walked out of the apartment and said goodnight to Mrs. Izumi. She made her way down to hers and walked in. Sora found her mother sitting on the couch. Her arms were folded across her chest.

"And where have you been?" she asked quietly but looking cross.

"I visited Taichi and just went to see Mimi" Sora answered coolly.

"This late? Sora do you know what time this is?" Mrs. Takenouchi roared, standing up on her feet while she pointed her finger at the clock.

"I am not a child any more MOTHER!" Sora roared back.

Mrs. Takenouchi slumped on the couch. She couldn't believe that Sora yelled back at her. Sora looked at her shocked mother and realized she had done a terrible thing.

"I'm sorry" Sora muttered then locked herself in her room.

~*Next Day*~

Ken walked past the row of shops. He tried to get Yolei out of his mind. The thought of her kissing his bestfriend just doesn't seem right. Ken's black jeans brushed along and his dark blue jumper matched his hair. Ken walked past a shop full of lady's dresses. There was a lavender flowing dress with a purple rose pinned on one side.

^Yolei would look good in that^ Ken thought ^AH…don't think about her.^

He then walked past a photo studio where there was a picture of a girl looking out to the sea.

^Yolei would've looked better in that photo, ACK why her again?.^

Ken shook his head from side to side and didn't know where he was going. He bumped himself to another person. The person toppled down on to the hard concrete floor.

"My mistake, I'm sorry, are you-?" Ken saw that the person he just bumped was Yolei. Yolei hadn't noticed that it was Ken who bumped her, Ken stretched out his hand. Yolei took it with one hand and the other one on her hips.

"Thanks" She then looked up and saw Ken examining her.

"Ke..Ken" She stuttered out.

Ken turned back to walk away, he still hadn't forgiven Yolei. Yolei grabbed Ken's arms.

"Please let me explain…" Yolei said. In her tone, Ken could hear desperation and the fact that she still loves him. Ken turned to look at her.

"Alright, but not here…let's go to that café around the corner" Ken said.

Yolei nodded.

*

They ordered 2 cup of coffees and after that Ken asked Yolei to explain herself.

"Well you see Ken, I'm not the best looking girl in the world, and my personality it's not the type that could attract lots of guys. But you Ken…you accepted me for the way I am and I really appreciate it, back then when I was with Davis, I didn't expect it to happen I mean all I wanted to do when I met Davis was to tell him about Kari – "

"What about Kari?" Ken asked.

"She's back in Japan, did you know?"

"No…I guess not but continue" Ken said.

"And Ken…" Yolei continued "Even if you wont forgive me for what I've done I just want you to know that I love you and if you don't love me…I understand…" Yolei said sincerely.

Ken could tell from Yolei's words and eyes that she was really sorry. Ken's heart melted. Of course he still loves her. After all they've been through, after all the things they'd shared.

"And if you don't forgive – " Yolei rambled on.

But Ken had placed his hand over Yolei's. Yolei felt warm all over.

"I forgive you" Ken softly said.

A smile spread over Yolei's face. She was so happy. Never in her thoughts that she thought Ken will forgive her.

"Why don't we go over my place? I think my mum baked those delicious cakes that you love" Ken offered.

Yolei nodded her head eagerly. She'll go where ever as long as Ken is with her. They stood up from the table and started a brand new relationship.

~Mimi~

The afternoon sun crept in through the window of Izzy's room. The curtains were shining with gold. Mimi's eyes slowly fluttered open. She lifted her head from Izzy's shoulder. Her eyes drifted to Izzy's face then to the hand around her shoulder. Mimi was confused. How did this happen? How did she fell asleep on Izzy's shoulder?

"What – " Mimi stared to say when Izzy woke up. His eyes opened and he looked at Mimi in confusion. Then he felt the body that he was holding.

"Woah" he yelped up quickly. Mimi did the same.

"How?" Izzy asked.

"Actually I was about to ask you the same thing" Mimi said.

Izzy raised one of his eyebrows. Crossed his hand infront of his chest. Closed his eyes and gave it a thought.

"Aha!" he suddenly said which startled Mimi. "I remember, you were waiting for Sora and I was sitting on the couch. You sat next to me because you said your feet were hurting I think…and then you and I fell asleep…"

"O?" Mimi asked in surprise as though all this was new to her.

Mrs. Izumi came into the room and informed them that Sora had come by yesterday night. She also told both of them to get ready for lunch. They missed breakfast. She said that they looked so comfortable that she didn't dare to wake them up.

Mimi and Izzy blushed making the atmosphere in the room full of shyness and embarrassment. Mimi used the bathroom first while Izzy started to think about her.

^She is lovely, she's sweet, innocent and gentle^ Izzy started to thought ^But Mimi and I are just friends…normal friends…nothing more…but then why did I have this funny feeling when ever I see her face? What could it possibly be? I never felt this way to any other girl before, could it actually be love? No it can't be…^ ^But why can't it be?^ A little voice in his head hissed.

Mimi then walked in, into the room with just a towel wrapped around her body. Her hair was dripping wet. Izzy just looked, open mouthed. Mimi had forgotten that Izzy was in the room until she looked up from picking her clothes. Her innocent face burned with embarrassment.

"I'm…I'm sorry…" she said.

Izzy quickly recovered. "No…it's ok…I'll just go and take a shower myself" Izzy rushed out of the room.

~T.K~

T.K was lost in his own world as he thought about the kiss he had with Kari the other day. It was so nice, so passionate, so full of love. But Willis had interrupted. He got pretty angry at him. But then again, Kari belongs to Willis so that explains why he interrupted.

"Lost in thoughts are you?" A voice broke in. T.K looked up surprisedly. There stood Joe with his long, blue hair brushed to the back. His glasses were nicely polished.

T.K smiled. "You can say something like that…"

"Thinking about Kari?" Joe asked, his eyes sparkling with a magical look.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I just can tell…so any problems between you and her? I mean like 3 years ago you two were un separate able…but now I can see from the expressions on your faces that a heavy cloud is above your heads" said Joe aloud.

T.K sighed deeply.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you, I mean who knows? You might be able to help me…"

Joe nodded as he sat on the vacant seat next to T.K's bed.

"You see, I really love Kari, with all my heart. The reason she left for New York was because she thought I didn't love her…and now that I realized my true feelings for her…she just has to be the famous singer known as Willis…she just has to be his girlfriend. Yesterday I kissed her…but Willis came and got really mad at her and me…Kari then left for fresh air…I don't know whether they have solved this yet…part of me wants her to solve this out with him…the other part of me wants Kari to be with me, to be the one who's by my side…"

Joe nodded understandingly. T.K could see that he was thinking it over. Summing up the story.

"When you kissed her…did you tell her how you feel about her?" Joe asked.

"No, actually no…but I yelled out after her once that I will fight to win her back…"

"And then?"

"She just continued to walk on…I'm not even sure whether she heard me or not"

"I see"

"Do you have any idea how I can solve this? Or help to loosen down the heavy weight on my shoulders?" T.K asked.

Joe sighed as he got up from the chair.

"Right now, all I could say this to you…is to stand by…see how it will work out with Willis, let fate and destiny work it out, if Willis is the person she's meant to be with…even if you turned the world upside down…you wouldn't be able to do anything about it…but if she's meant to be with you…she'll come around…"

T.K slowly nodded. It's all confusing. As Joe walked out, Kari walked in. Joe smiled a secretive smile at her and she looked at him confusedly

"Kari!" T.K exclaimed.

"Hi T.K" she said.

"Did you solve it out with Willis?"

"Kind of…I apologized to him and said that it was nothing and that I didn't know what came over me…he accepted my apology but hasn't talked to me ever since last night. This morning he just got up and left, I'm taking an obvious guess that he went to start on his music" She said.

T.K's heart was in pain. Kari didn't know what had come over her. So she didn't really enjoy that kiss that T.K thoroughly enjoyed.

"What's wrong?" Kari asked.

"You didn't feel nothing special or any feeling about the kiss?" T.K replied.

Kari's body stiffened. She was afraid that T.K would ask her this. She enjoyed the kiss, no she didn't enjoy it…she loved it! But she can't say this, can she? Does T.K feel the same way? What was the purpose of asking this question? To embarrassed her? If she said yes…T.K might reveal his true feelings to her…but what is his true feeling? Could this be the moment she's been waiting for?

"I felt…"
