Tai's better half part 2
It had been one night since the incident, Tai could remember every moment as clearly as if every moment was still happening. He and Sora were walking to soccer practice after school when he had fallen on his knees and told her how he really felt, she still refused to speak to him but also refused to let him leave. Tai was content with simply being able to hold her hand. Then a car came screeching out of no where, it stopped in front of them and a guy with a gun demanded Sora get into the car, Tai tried to stop him but he shot him in leg. Then he sped off with Sora looking out the back window at Tai on the ground bleeding. Tai shook his head and wiped away a tear, "I should have protected her," Tai began to shake with anger. "I should have been able to protect her!" He shouted falling onto his bed crying.
Kari heard her brother, she then walked into his room and started to pat him on the back, "there, there Tai," she said soothingly, "there was nothing you could have done, he had a gun remember."
Tai stopped crying, sat up, turned to Kari and hugged her, "I'm sorry Kari, I'm so sorry I hurt everyone around me."
"Oh, Tai," Kari said putting her arms around his neck, "you don't hurt everyone, what about me?"
"I nearly got you killed Kari!" Tai said between sobs, "remember I was the one who made you play soccer when you were sick?"
"I remember Tai, it's alright the police will get Sora back and then you'll be happy again," Kari told him putting on a smile, though deep down she was just as scared as him.
Tai hugged Kari a little longer then fell back into bed, "tell mom and dad I won't be coming out of my room today in case the police call okay Kari?"
"Okay Tai," Kari then walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Tai cried till he fell asleep. Tai slowly awoke to the sound of the phone, he jumped out of bed and shouted into the receiver, "Hello, police! Did you find Sora? Where is she! Is she alright!" Tai demanded with out asking who it was.
"Tai what are you talking about?" Matt asked after rubbing his now sore ear.
"Oh sorry Matt," Tai apologized then told Matt about what happened.
"I can't believe it," Matt said after listening to Tai, "then my news will be good for you," Matt said.
"What," Tai asked not really caring.
"You said you guys were on Sirocco ST?" Matt asked.
"Yea so," Tai was now a little annoyed, what if the police try and call while he's on the phone with Matt.
"Well I was on Tenka St just off of Sirocco and that car you described pasted me driving really fast so I decided to memorize the licence plate," Matt stated proudly.
Tai's eye's bugged out of his head, "tell me Matt, tell me now!" Tai shouted at his friend.
(plate number made up don't criticize)
"It was 4J2R-5E7D," Matt told him.
Tai wrote it down thanked Matt and hung up on him then started dialing the police.
"Hello Odiba police.."
"Hello police my name Kamiya Taichi and I need to speak to officer Julius!" Tai demanded not waiting for the officer to finish.
"Just a minute please," The officer replied calmly.
"Hello this is officer," A new voice began.
"It's Tai I have the cars licence plate number it's 4-J-2-R-5-E-7-D," Tai read off the piece of paper.
"Slow down Mr. Kamiya," the officer told Tai over the phone, this boy had been calling all day! They must be close, "now what was that number?"
Tai repeated the number again, "now can you find Sora?" Tai asked hopefully.
"This will make it easier, but we still need more time," he said looking the number over then handing it another officer with instructions to track it down, "we'll call you with any updates okay."
Tai reluctantly hung up the phone with a sad yet hopeful, "okay." He then fell back onto his bed to stare at the bottom of Kari's bunk where Tai had recently put up a blown up picture of Sora's face, he sighed longingly, he wanted to stare at the real thing.
*****************************************************************************
Sora stared into darkness, her hands were held together by handcuffs, her feet the same, but nothing held her rooted in the corner of the room she was trapped in but her fear. Her kidnapper hadn't removed her blind fold so she had no idea where she was, she tried screaming but again same as every other time she tried to scream the cloth in her mouth stifled her completely. The feeling of utter hopelessness over took her and she began to cry. She wanted her mom, she wanted her stuffed bear, and most of all she wanted Tai to appear out of no where and save her, take her back to her house and her new life with her new friends. Sora then heard footsteps she pushed into the corner she was sitting against, she tried to hide by curling into a ball. Who knew what he'd do to her. She felt her blindfold being removed. Sora shut her eyes against the light, they slowly adjusted till she was looking into the eyes of her father!
"Did I say you could have a boyfriend?" He asked in a cold tone.
"No! We got away from you! You can't hurt use anymore!" Sora shouted at him.
"I am your father," he roared, "I can do whatever I wish!" He slapped her across the face leaving a huge bruise. Sora's head snapped to the right and she fell to the ground crying. She didn't get back up, she laid there crying till her father shoved the blindfold back over her eyes and walked out of the room. Sora cried herself to sleep.
*****************************************************************************
Tai woke up in a cold sweat, he knew someone had been hurting Sora. He could feel it in his heart. "When I find out who took my Sora I'll kill him," Tai promised in a fierce tone.
"Tai what's wrong," Kari asked looking over the side of her bed to look down at her brother below.
"Nothing Kari," Tai assured her, "go to bed," he commanded gently.
"Okay," Kari said then rolled back over and fell asleep into a dream of her playing in a room of kittens in a giant castle.
The next day Tai once again refused to leave his home and waited by the phone only leaving long enough to get food, go to the bathroom, or call the police for an update in their investigation.
******************************************************************************
Sora slowly awoke to see a plate of food in front of her and that her hands, eyes and mouth were unbound. She sat up and looked around, the room was hers! At least her old one, the one she lived in at her old house. Though it didn't have anything in it, there was Sora's favorite blue wallpaper with puppies on it though. The window that she used to look out was still there, it was dark out, the light in her room was turned on. Sora tried to get up but her feet were still bound together. She slid over to the food, there was a glass of apple juice, potatoes and a steak. She ate it slowly cause every time she chewed the bruise on her cheek would burn with pain. How had he gotten out of prison? How did he find them? Sora then heard foot steps coming toward her door, she heard the lock click and saw the door nob turn, then the door opened to reveal her father.
"I see you saw the food I left you," He said walking into the room like nothing was wrong.
"Why are you doing this Papa," Sora asked in a quiet voice.
"Cause I love you Sora," he said in a gentle voice, "and I must protect you."
"From what," Sora asked after swallowing her mouthful.
"Not what," he corrected, "who, I must protect you from that boy who going to eventually hurt you by leaving you."
Sora knew who he was talking about, "but Tai would never hurt me Papa! He loves me." She told him firmly.
"You're only a child Sora what do you know of love? Tai's a high school boy, he's probably already forgotten about you and moved onto another girl," he said it like it was just another happening in the day like, "the mourning paper has arrived."
"No Papa you're wrong Tai loves me," she shouted at him tears already streaming down her face. Her father had been standing only a few feet away, then he closed the gap and slapped her accross the face.
"Watch your mouth," he told he sternly, "I'm your father and I know what's best for you." He then tied Sora back up and left her crying on the floor as he left to get a drink at a nearby pub.
"Tai, Tai please help me," Sora screamed in her mind.
***********************************************************************
Tai had been in the living room waiting by the phone when it hit him, someone had hit Sora again, and, and she needed him. Tai got up and called the police.
"Hello Odi..." again as everytime before Tai cut him off before he could finish.
"It's me Tai," he told the officer.
"I'm getting him," the officer was very annoyed at this kid, who did he think he was? Ah well, at least he wasn't in charge of the case.
"Hello Tai," officer Julius said trying to hide his annoyence.
"I'm going to find Sora now," he told the police officer.
"Do you know something," he was now a little interested.
"In school a man came in to talk to us once, he said whne you find the one ment for you you can feel them out anywhere on the planet," Tai could feel his hope and courage building, "Sora is the one, I can find her anywhere," Tai told the officer, his courage he was having trouble holding down, his hope was threatening to take over. He would find Sora this day.
The officer sighed, it was these types of boyfriend that usually did find what they were looking for, but they usually got killed in the end, "I'm driving then, I'll be there in ten minutes," he told the boy while he walked over and got his gun, "if you aren't there when I come to get you I put out an A.P.B. on you so stay there," he wasn't going to allow another guy like this to turn up dead. Tai agreed.
Tai felt like he had been waiting hours since the officer told him to wait. He looked at his watch, "only eight minutes," Tai was nervous, he could feel Sora in him, she was after all, his better half. Tai remembered the day he fell to his knees in the middle of school and begged for her forgiveness. A single tear rolled down Tai's cheek, he would have her back, he knew it. The officer pulled up about five minutes later and let Tai in the passenger side.
"Alright Tai, where do we go," he asked skeptically.
Tai pointed north and the officer with a sigh started to drive.
***********************************************************************
Sora could feel something, no, someone getting closer, Tai! Tai was coming to save her she could feel it! Her heart skipped a beat as the door opened, then her heart hid itself whne she saw that it was her father, he stumbled into the room and feel onto the floor, unconcious, he never could handle that many drinks. Sora squirmed over to him, and carefully rotted through his pockets till her hands found his keys. Her heart was now in her throat, she quickly got out of the cuffs and ran out of the house towards the feeling, towards Tai. Her better half.
***********************************************************************
Tai's got a weird feeling, it was Sora, but something was different. He knew what it was! She was free! The car stopped at an intersection and Tai jumped out of the car and ran down one of the streets, Tai heard officer Julius shout for him to come back then him saying he's following him on foot, he must have been on the police radio.
***********************************************************************
Sora was running down one of the streets, she could feel Tai getting closer so she turned down a different street and there he was, at the end of the street looking around, he turned one direction then another. Sora couldn't contain herself, "Tai," she screamed the intire street turned silent for a moment and looked at the girl who screamed.
Tai heard his name called and turned to see Sora, "Sora," he called back, he then ran to her and wrapped his arms around her, crying for joy that he had found her, he then heard another voice.
"Get you damn hands off my little girl you bastard," Sora's father commanded pointing a gun at Tai, he was still pretty drunk so he guessed the middle Tai was the right one.
Tai moved so Sora was behind him, and stared at the man who had tried to take Sora from him.
Sora was so scared she couldn't move.
"I said move or I'll..." he was cut off when he felt the cold metal end of a gun being pressed up against the side of his head.
"You'll what," demanded officer Julius. He wasn't going to allow this to happen again, not like it did for his own son. The drunken man then turned to fire at Julius but he simply pulled the trigger. Mr.Takenouchi's body fell to the ground lifeless, as a pool of blood began to form behind his head. "There Jeffery, I helped someone else," Julius whispered into the wind.
Tai could feel Sora crying so he turned and gathered her into his arms, gently rocking her back and forth. He then heard Julius call for an ambulance. Tai walked over to a nearby bench and sat down while he cradled the crying girl. He then hugged her tightly and let her cry on his shoulder.
Officer Julius watched the pair with a smile, his son had once been like these two, he ignored his son when he said he knew where the kidnapper took his girlfriend, and in the end they found him and his girlfriend mangled in the park, holding each other. The ambulance came after about fifteen minutes. Tai went with Sora, he wasn't going to let her out of his sight. She had remain in the hospital over night, Sora's mother had also come to the hospital half an hour after they arrived. She cried for joy when she saw Sora, then she was sad when she heard what happened. She explained he wasn't a bad guy at first, (they never are) but after a while he stared to have a drinking problem for no reason, he refused to stop, everytime they tried talking to him he would beat them. Tai wanted to stay with her over night, but family came first.
Tai waited in the lobby, he wasn't going to leave then the rest of the gang arrived and he told them what happened, Tai thanked Matt once more for the tip, even though in the end it wasn't needed. The police did find the car, it was in a dump, and it had been impacked into a cube, the licence plate was only barely readable.They all stayed the night at the hospital and the next day they had a big party at Sora's house. When it was over Tai and Sora were sitting on the couch in each others arms, asleep. Sora's mother put a blanket over them and them cleaned the house. Matt and the others went home. School would be interesting tomorrow when everyone heard what had happened and they needed the energy.
THE END
Authors notes. Writers block is gone! I think this came off rather nicely. A little corny but hey, I liked it. And if you don't, to bad!
