...Lost in your heart, lost in your eyes

Lost every day, no map to follow

Entire days, weeks, a blur

Flickers of light, in the darkness,

Only to be enveloped in shadows once more...

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.

Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together.

It had a month since then Sai and Tai had been frequent companions having meals together, going out and the like Tai was starting to see how little he knew about Sai and how much she knew about him making him feel ashamed. School had started again with Li as a new student and Tai's birthday was just around the corner.

"So you and Tai have been spending a lot of time together" commented Li as they met after school

"Tai and I are rekindling our friendship in earnest hopes to make our marriage a happy one" replied Sai as they entered a café

"What about you Li? You where engaged to someone you loved for such a long time what happened?" asked Sai as they sat down at a table with their drinks and snacks

"Yea I was in love with her and like I said we were engaged and she was in love with another but I think I met someone, so I'm glad the engagement was ended or my heart would have been broken for a second time" smiled Li mysteriously as he sipped at his coffee

"Oh? And who might this lucky girl be?" teased Sai with a gentle smile as she cradled her lemonade in her hand

"A girl, but hey by the way Ai I wanted to ask if you were busy next weekend a few of my friends are flying in from China thought maybe we could all go out to Dream to hang out" suggested Li

"I can't but I'd love to catch up later with you my parents are having a benefit dinner that night with some other influential families so my parents are having me come straight back to the manor when school gets out to prepare"

Li nodded as they divulged into chatter.

Time went by again as January was almost finished and Tai's birthday popped up like lightning making Sai roll her eyes at her friend whom was being humorously annoying as usual for mornings as he complained about waking early, about it being cold, about having to go to school, and finally he started to brag that he was now older once again then Sai

"Oh give it a rest Taichi Kamiya" said Sai with a smile as she served breakfast using his full name to show her humor at his silliness

"but Saiyuri Hanabusa, just doesn't want to admit that I'm awesome" joked Tai pointing to himself as Sai once again rolled her eyes at him

"Just eat before breakfast gets cold either that or by the time you're done it's dinner time" shot back Sai as she gathered her things

"Hey aren't you going to eat with me?" asked Tai as he looked at Sai questioningly

"Can't I'm meeting Li before school and besides Tai I've got dinner plans with you tonight" replied Sai with a roll of her eyes as she waved a good bye and left.

She seems to be hanging out more and more with that guy thought Tai as he silently watched the door close behind of Sai before digging in.

That night found Sai alone with Tai dressed in a beautiful mini black dress Tai escorted her to one of their favorite restaurants located in one of Sai's many family hotels where they'd dine alone before catching up with their friends at Dream, their dinner had been wonderful and they had decided to take a stroll along the snow covered gardens before heading out

"Mmmm that hit the spot" smiled Tai as Sai laughed

"Anything could satisfy your hunger Tai, it could be half burnt and have egg shells or something and you'd still think it was 5 stars worthy" joked Sai as Tai laughed and gave her a funny look

"Then you don't remember my mother's cooking" replied Tai as Sai shook her head

"I don't regretfully or thankfully enough it's been years since I've been over to your house" answered Sai honestly a little sad at the way the conversation had turned

They walked in awkward brief silence neither knowing what to say to the other before they began to descend the stairs to go to the lower gardens

"Yu" began Tai as Sai looked up at him only to slip on a patch of ice as Sai instantly closed her eyes waiting for impact

"phew that was close" called a voice as Sai noticed that instead of cold hard ground and pain she felt warmth and a hard wall, and something clenching her tight as she unscrewed her eyes she noticed the warmth belonged to Tai the hard wall was his chest that he held her tightly to preventing her fall as Sai blushed a light crimson.

As Tai looked down to his friend and the girl he currently held clenched in a tight grip to his chest he saw her face tinged in red but what he noticed most where her captivating eyes those pools of clear crystal that could be described as an icy blue yet held such warmth that it disheartened Tai a little to know that he hurt her so.

Her eyes are so beautiful, she's light as well and has such a tiny waist she… she looks beautiful thought Tai as he fell deep into her eyes why haven't I ever noticed her she's always been right next to me thought Tai as he felt his face creep closer to hers

Warmth completely enveloped Sai this time as her eyes closed as a pair of lips met hers gently yet curiously as arms wrapped around her tightly holding her closer as Sai's fingers entangled themselves into velvet soft chocolate brown locks.

As they parted for air a dream like state held in their eyes they questioned each other with their eyes leaving all the questions unanswered and each wanting to know more

"uhm excuse me" came a voice as both realizing what just happened jumped apart while keeping a close distance due to Tai holding onto Sai still to keep her balance as they saw a Valet had interrupted them

"Uh yes what is it?" asked Sai kindly as the valet bowed his head slightly

"Your driver is waiting for you miss he says you'll be late to meet with your friends" replied the valet as Sai and Tai thanked him and left

Going out only made it more strange between Tai and Sai and all their friends saw it leaving them to wonder

What happened?

He kissed me thought Sai as she touched her lips later that night before getting ready for bed he really kissed me

Her fingers quickly fell as another part hissed angrily at her you know he did that with ulterior motives just think about it one day he's head over heels for Sora for so long that he breaks your heart and now out of the blue he's just going to start having feelings for you keep dreaming girl that only happened in fairy tales

That side of Sai made her depressed as a smaller side tried to back up what Tai had done but Sai knew better then to believe that small side making tears fall as she once again felt her heart break over Tai and her seemingly hopeless love for him.

What did I do thought Tai as he paced around his room that night after coming home

What have I done? He yelled mentally she's my friend my best friend she must think I did this with some ulterior motive

I mean she knows I'm in love with Sora and I know I'm in love with Sora what am I some sort of guy who just romances any girl who comes into sight I mean I'm still in love with Sora! I am in love with her right? Thought Tai as he ruffled his hair now confused as his head was filled with Sai her tears, her smile, her laughter

Yes I'm still in love with Sora! Declared Tai whom seemed to try to be convincing himself to that fact .

It was an accident one that I'll have to apologize for if I ever want Sai to forgive me she must hate me right now thought Tai as he fell into his bed

I'm in love with Sora thought Tai as he forced himself to think of Sora filling his thoughts with her till the brink he forgot about Sai in that weird way again.

Yes I'm still in love with her thought Tai finally convinced as he fell into sleep.
