It's been awhile, but I have decided to continue the story! I would like to thank everyone for their positive reviews, because I would not have been writing this without them.

Hope you all enjoy this chapter!


The next morning, the High school had the day off for a teacher workday. Taichi was walking Hikari to school, instead of driving or letting her take the bus. As they walked, Hikari maintained a small, happy expression on her face. Once they arrived at Hikari's school, she pulled Taichi off to the side of the building where nobody could see. She stood on her toes, giving Taichi a small, yet passionate kiss on the cheek.

''Bye…onii-chan''

She left with a soft wave and beautiful smile that Taichi admired. He peeked his head out, making sure no one knew he was there, making a break for it once it was clear.

As Taichi walked home, he thought deeply on his and Hikari's relationship.

This is going to be rough…maybe Koushiro will understand. He has always helped me with these sorts of things.

Taichi came to a stop, looking up at the sky.

What if…mom and dad find out?

A sweat drop fell from his head, and he finally started to walk again, really unaware of anything that was happening around him. He sighed and returned to reality.

I guess I have that 'zone out' habit like Hikari

He let out a small chuckle and kept walking. As he walked, off into the distance, he could see Koushiro's apartment to the left, and Sora's mother's flower shop to the right.

Koushiro will understand, but doesn't really know about these things…but Sora might get really mad at me…

He crossed the street to Sora's mother's flower shop. As he arrived, he hesitated before entering, gathering his thoughts before entering. The door chime rang as he entered, being greeted by Sora's mother.

''Hello Tai. Are you looking for Sora?''

''Ehh…yeah, is she here?''

''Sorry, she just stepped out to get some packages I ordered. You can stop by later if you want.''

''Oh, no don't worry about it. I'll talk to her after.''

As Taichi left, the door chime rang again. He walked down the sidewalk again, watching the cracks as he walked. He soon was only outside of the main door and the stairway of Koushiro's building. He ran possible scenarios through his head as he walked up the stairs, thinking of what Koushiro's answer and opinion might be.

Taichi approached the door of his apartment, and knocked lightly. He was greeted and invited in by Koushiro's mother. He walked to Koushiro's room, and knocked twice before entering.

''Koushiro?''

''Hey Taichi''

Taichi sat on a small chair next to Koushiro's desk, as Koushiro fiddled with his laptop.

''Koushiro, I have…a problem''

Koushiro turned himself and his chair towards Taichi, giving him his attention, occasionally glancing back at his computer screen.

''What's wrong?''

''Someone told me something yesterday evening''

Koushiro had an interested look on his face, waiting for Taichi's response.

''Hikari told me that…she loved me''

Koushiro froze completely for a moment, then pulling himself up straight on his chair. He reached over, closing the lid on his laptop, actually giving Taichi his full attention.

''Did she mean she loved you?''

Taichi nodded, sweating slightly.

''I'm not sure if it was right or wrong. And I thought I would ask you before asking anyone else''

''Well, ill be here to help you with it Taichi, but this isn't a very good thing to get involved with''

''I know, but…''

''It's wrong Taichi, and if this gets out…''

''Yeah, I know. That's why I thought I'd ask you what I should do.''

''I wouldn't suggest you keep this relationship going on. It's not like you have feelings for her right?''

Taichi hesitated in response, thinking of what he said to her the previous night.

''You don't really love her too do you? Not that's a bad thing…well it is but…''

''I can't say that yet…I just don't know…''

''Taichi, what if your parents find out? Do you realize what they would do?''

Taichi tilted his head down, not giving a response.

''Who else knows?''

''Besides us, nobody else as far as I know. I was thinking of telling Sora…but I wasn't too sure…''

''It might be best. Sora can help with these sorts of things.''

Taichi stood up, thanking Koushiro before leaving. As he left the house, he worried what would happen if everyone found out. Names, insults, and lectures ran through his head. He walked down the stairs, imagining what his mother would say, and what his father would do.

Hikari…

Once he arrived back at the flower shop, he stared into the door, gathering his courage once more. Upon entering the shop, the door chime rang. Sora's mother didn't say anything, but pointed to the room to the right. Taichi walked into a room that had a few plants in pots, with one Sora watering them.

''Sora?''

''Hi!''

At least she is in a good mood…

''Sora, I have to tell you something…something personal.''

Sora blushed lightly, and offered Taichi to sit down on some small floor cushions in the middle of the room. Sora talked in a worried voice.

''What is it Taichi?''

''Its Hikari…''

''Hikari? Is something wrong?''

''Listen, Sora. Can you promise not to tell anyone?''

Sora nodded and grabbed Taichi's hand, holding it with warmth.

''Hikari told me that she loved me. I mean she said she was in love with me.''

Sora lifted her hand and flinched from Taichi's statement.

''Taichi…''

''I don't know what to do…''

Taichi looked down, and let a small tear drop escape from his eye. Sora put her hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

''I just don't know what to do!''

''I'm here for you if you need me Taichi…but there isn't really anything you can do…''


Well, this is a truly hard predicament. I'm not sure really on how I should, or even could end this story. Plus that last part puts me in the mood to write a Taiora Fanfic. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed reading it, I will most likely write the last chapter soon.

Thanks and please Review! I wouldn't be able to write this without them!
