Part Three, finally in existance! I'm sorry I took so long in writing it, I just wanted it to be really really good. So, please Read and Review!
MONDAY 12:15 PM
Lunch came around and Kyoko and Sora were in the principal's office. Their principal was a stern man by the name of Mr. Morimoto, with dark eyes and a receding hairline. After their story was told, he sat back in his chair and gave the girls a skeptical look.
"What are you trying to prove?" Mr. Morimoto asked.
"That someone in this school is sick enough to do something like this," Kyoko said.
"I noticed a lot of girls who went to the dance were absent today," Sora pointed out. "And that those who were here seemed kinda sick, including Kyoko."
Mr. Morimoto gave the girl's words a thought. "Let me propose something to you two," he said, leaning forward and looking them in the eyes. "If I help you in catching this... person, you two will lead the operation. I'll just be the authority figure. You'll talk to the students, and you'll make the plans for it. Got it?"
"Yes," Sora said.
"Good. You have until Wednesday to make a proposition which I will review. Then we'll discuss this matter further," Mr. Morimoto said. It was obvious that this meeting was over. Sora and Kyoko stood up, shook hands with the principal and left the office.
Outside, Kyoko burst out laughing. "I was so nervous in there!" She leaned against the wall, laughing like a madwoman.
"Can you believe how formal we were in there?" Sora exclaimed. "I can't!"
Tai wandered by and stopped when he saw Sora and Kyoko outside the office. "Hey, what's so funny you two?"
"We just talked to Mr. Morimoto about... the drugs," Sora told him quietly. She and Kyoko sobered up quicky at the reminder.
"And that's funny?" Tai questioned.
"We were laughing at the way we acted in Mr. Morimoto's office," Kyoko explained. "Excruciatingly formal and stiff."
"Riiiiiigght," Tai said, nodding and making a funny face. Then, changing the subject, he asked, "You still coming home with me Sora?"
"Sure am," she answered, smiling after Tai kissed her quickly on the lips.
"Great. You know where to meet me," he said. "See ya." Tai walked casually down the hall.
Kyoko was almost green. "You are so lucky Sora," Kyoko sighed.
"Why do you think that?" Sora asked. She began walking to her locker.
"You've got Tai Kamiya for a boyfriend!" she said.
"Your point?" Sora inquired, spinning the dial on her lock.
"He's the hottest guy in school, in my opinion anyway," Kyoko gushed. "And he's such a great guy too..."
Sora smiled, embarassed that her friend was saying this. Kyoko went on and on. Will she ever shut up? Sora thought. She could tell that Kyoko was jealous, jealous, jealous, and it was driving her nuts. Kyoko was trying to make it sound like Tai was a perfect being, nothing less than a God or, heaven forbid, a Titan. Sure, Tai was wonderful: he was caring, energetic, happy, he had a great smile and man, was he an amazing kisser.
But everyone had their faults, and Tai's could fill a book or two. As she pulled a few books from her locker, Sora remembered all the times in DigiWorld when she had to stop Tai from doing something stupid. He was a bit careless and a little overconfident, and, of course, he was a guy. What more explanation did THAT need?
Kyoko paused to take a breath before staring up on the litany of Reasons Why Tai Kamiya Is The Coolest Guy On The Planet, and Sora used that as an opportunity to put her two cents in.
"You make him sound like an all-powerful being," Sora laughed.
"Don't you think that?" Kyoko asked. "You ARE dating him."
"Kyoko, I've known Tai almost my entire life," Sora told her. "I know almost everything about him. That's a blessing and a curse all in one."
"A curse? Come on Sora!" Kyoko said.
"Cut it out Kyoko," Sora hissed. "I can see you getting greener by the second." Kyoko opened and closed her mouth as if she was going to say something, but no sound came out. Sora slammed her locker shut and clicked the lock closed. "I'll see you later." Sora walked away from Kyoko and went to her next class.
TUESDAY 8:15 PM
Tai and Sora were in the park, sitting on their favourite bench. They'd been out there for an hour, just sitting there, close to each other, talking about everything. Sora had told Tai about Kyoko's 'obsession' with him, which made him laugh.
"Someone obsessed with me? That's a riot," Tai said.
"Yeah, but we all know that Kyoko's a bit of a psycho," Sora laughed. "We're making that proposition thing tomorrow at lunch."
"And...?" Tai prompted.
"I'm scared shitless," Sora admitted. "We have everything ready, we even rehearsed in front of you today."
"And you were great," he put in.
"But will Mr. Morimoto think the same? I just don't know..." Sora trailed off.
"Hey, come on, you know you'll be great," Tai assured her, giving Sora's shoulder a squeeze. "Everything's going to be great."
"Easier said than done Tai," Sora muttered. "I'm gonna freeze up, I know it."
"You didn't when you talked to him yesterday," Tai pointed out.
Sora muttered something barely audiable and accepted a kiss from Tai. She wasn't feeling well again, and kinda wanted to stay inside that day, but decided the fresh air might be good for her. It wasn't helping much. Her head groggy and everything seemed blurry. This whole presentation thing was stressing her out, not to mention still feeling sick. Sora closed her eyes and felt like she'd fall asleep.
"Tai? I don't feel so good," Sora groaned.
Tai felt her forehead. "You're freezing," he said, before Sora leapt to her feet and threw up in a nearby garbage can. When she'd finished puking, Tai put his arm around her and let her lean on him. "Let's go home. It's late."
Sora winced as she straightened up. This was hell for her, being sick and all. Sora was grateful to the Kamiyas for letting her stay with them; she knew Tai enjoyed having her over. But deep inside her she wished her mom would come home so she could curl up on the couch and have her lunch there and watch TV, like she usually did when she was sick. One of the few things her mom understood about Sora was that she liked to be lazy when she wasn't feeling well, much like anyone else.
She walked with Tai back to his apartment, and as soon as she got there she went to bed, no questions asked, even though it was barely eight thirty. After what seemed like an eternity, Sora fell into a fitful sleep.
WEDNESDAY 2:34 AM
Sora sat bolt upright in bed, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. It had been horrible. Sora was sitting in the principal's office, giving the presentation, and then she saw Mr. Morimoto flip her the bird and say "Forget it," and then he hit a button on his desk and the floor opened up. Sora fell through, and as she looked up, she saw Tai walk in and Kyoko started flirting with him. Tai ignored Kyoko and stared at Sora. Then she saw a set of metal spikes on the floor and her mother with her hands chained to a wall. Then she woke up.
"Sora? Are you okay?"
"I think so Kari," Sora said. "Just a bad dream."
"What was it about?" Kari asked. Sora retold the dream and Kari shuddered. "Want me to get Tai?"
"No," Sora told her. "I'll tell Tai later."
"Tell Tai what later?" Tai had been walking past Kari's room and poked his head in.
"Were you eavesdropping again Tai?" Kari demanded.
"No, I was overhearing," Tai said. He walked in and sat next to Sora. "So, what was it?"
"I had a bad dream. You were in it," Sora said. She told Tai about the dream. "That's all. It really freaked me out."
Tai looked thoughtful for a while. "Let's see... I don't know what Mr. Morimoto's up to there, but I do know there are no holes in his floor. Kyoko, well, I think the fact that she's flirting with me and I'm staring at you means that I'm not interested in anyone but you," Tai said, "which is true, by the way," he added with a smile. "I think the part with the spikes and your mom means that something bad is going to happen to you and it'll seem like there's nothing your mom can do to help you. What do you think?"
Sora and Kari gave Tai funny looks. "Since when did you become a dream interpreter?" Kari asked.
"Very funny Kari. I just think that's what it means," Tai said. "Now, it's 2:30 AM and we all need more sleep." He got up, gave Sora a kiss and went to bed.
Tai flopped over onto his bed and sighed. He couldn't stand Sora being sick anymore. He wanted to pound the guy who brought those drugs into a fine pulp and leave him for the vultures... then again there are no vultures in Odaiba, so that part would have to go. This was just bad. He had to make sure Mr. Morimoto accepted Sora and Kyoko's proposal. Sora and quite a few other girls depended on it.
So ends part three. I wonder what Tai's up to... actually, I don't, I know! So ha! R&R s'il vous plait! (That's please for those of you who don't understand French.)
