Broken Angels
Part 8
Takeru and Hikari split from Iori and Daisuke. "We'll be back in a few, ok?"
Iori nodded and Daisuke grumbled. "Does that mean we have to wait to eat?"
"My mom hasn't even started cooking yet," Iori said. "Hikari, Takeru, come back as soon as you can. I'll just tell my mom you guys are planning to come over a little later."
Takeru nodded. "Thanks! We'll see you later! Oh yeah, Iori, can you stop by our room to tell my mom that we'll be at your place?"
"Sure! Good luck!"
Takeru and Hikari waved as they ran down the road. "Hey, Takeru," Hikari suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"Um...is there anything going on between you and Iori?" she asked, embarrassed.
He blushed. "We're friends, if that's what you're wanting to know. We're better friends than Daisuke and me."
"I noticed. I was just wondering...cause Daisuke thought there was something else going on between you two."
"Only he would think of something like that," Takeru pointed out.
"You're right."
"Besides, Iori's just a little kid, he can't get into those kinda relationships anyway."
It fell silent for awhile, and they arrived at the point where they knew Taichi and Yamato would cross paths. Hiding behind a truck, they sat down and didn't look at each other for awhile. It was dead quiet, and they could only hear their own breathing, and Takeru was sure Hikari could probably even hear his heart beating against his chest.
Hikari rested her head on her knees and sat there quietly. Takeru just sat there, looking at her and watched as she fluttered her eyelids to stay awake. She was tired, especially from just sitting there. They sat there in silence for quite awhile, until Takeru decided to do what Koushiro had advised. "Hey, Hikari," he began when they suddenly heard voices.
Hikari's head shot up. "That sounds like Taichi and Sora!"
Peeking from under the pick-up, they saw them, and Takeru turned his head to see Yamato heading the opposite direction of the two. They were headed straight for each other.
They swallowed, and watched as Yamato avoided looking at Taichi. Taichi and Sora looked at Yamato as he walked by. Suddenly, Taichi elbowed Yamato in the ribcage as he passed, which knocked Yamato off balance a little and he glared at Taichi.
"What are you trying to prove, Yagami?!" Yamato yelled as Taichi suddenly stopped walking. Sora grabbed his arm to try and keep him from attacking Yamato.
"Prove what kinda jerk you are!"
"You're the jerk! Pushing me for no reason! I haven't done anything to you! It's your sister that got my brother so sick he couldn't stand on his own two feet!"
"I don't ever remember Hikari being sick, so don't blame her!"
"I'm talking mentally! Because of her, she made Takeru so depressed that he got sick! And what do I find out later!? That she's in HIS house feeding HIM and he's sitting there and taking it!"
"WHAT?! What was she doing in his house!? And what was he doing in MY house with HER alone!?" Taichi screamed.
"You tell me!"
It feel silent. Takeru and Hikari looked at each other. "Do you think they'll discuss this?" Hikari whispered.
"I don't know...," Takeru replied. "It seems like they're thinking it through...which is good."
Sora decided to speak up. "Don't you two think you've done enough damage?"
They looked at her. "What?"
"You two have made them enemies...you shouldn't get your own siblings caught up in your battle. You're tearing them apart. Takeru got sick because you," she addressed to Taichi with a nod of her head,"told Hikari to stop talking to Takeru and because she's so loyal to you, she did so."
"S-So you're saying this is my fault?!" Taichi cried, outraged.
"I'm not! But Takeru on the other hand, tried to find a way to stay friends with her so that they could prove to you two that you could be friends! That's why he got sick! It's because Hikari...you get the point."
Hikari looked over at Takeru, who was staring at the scene up ahead. "It is my fault that you got sick, isn't it?"
He directed his attention to her. "What?"
"You know it is."
"I won't say it is. If I had done what Yamato asked..."
"If you had, we'd be worse off than now. But because you remained loyal to me, we're friends still, and we have the chance of making Yamato and Taichi's friendship work. Thanks...you've done so much more for me than I ever have for me."
Takeru reached over and took her hand. "Don't be silly. You've done plenty for me. You didn't have to come over when you knew you shouldn't have...you got caught but you still tried to come back and say you wanted to be friends. I think we both realized in the end that we needed each other..."
"Yeah...," she said and smiled.
"So, how does dinner sound one night next week?" he asked quickly.
She blushed and nodded. "Of course!"
Smiling and holding hands, they looked back at Taichi and Yamato. "Ok, so I admit it was stupid of us to get in a fight over something so simplistic," Yamato said.
Taichi nodded. "I agree...I guess it's just a sign that we're growing up."
"You guys will always be friends, no matter what...it's just that you're getting older, and your interests are different and you do your own things. As long as you make time for each other, you'll always be friends. It's just like Mimi and me. We're best friends even though we live in different countries and have different views and like different things. It's what makes friendship that much better." Sora looked at them and they nodded.
"Sorry for starting the whole thing," Taichi said, stretching his hand out to Yamato, and he took it, shaking his hand.
"Same here. I guess we'll always have our differences, but we have different topics to talk about now."
Grinning, they laughed and hugged each other, slapping the other on the back. Hikari and Takeru grinned and looked at each other. "I knew it would work!"
Hikari rested her head on his shoulder. "It's because you stuck to being friends with me, no matter what. You're the best friends anyone could ask for."
"Thanks for taking care of me while I was sick," he said, kissing her on the head.
"Let's go to Iori's so we can get something to eat. I'm hungry myself."
Yamato slung his guitar case over his shoulder. "I'll be heading home now."
"Hey, wanna come dine with us?" Taich asked.
"Are you sure...? It's your date."
"We don't mind," Sora reassured him.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt. Besides, I don't feel like cooking for myself tonight anyway."
As they walked down the sidewalk, Takeru and Hikari stood up. "Our duty is done," Hikari said happily. Still holding hands, they walked down the sidewalk in the other direction back to the apartment complex.
***
"Everything's back to normal?" Iori asked at dinner.
Hikari and Takeru gave the thumbs up sign. They were pleased with the results, and with Sora there as a guardian angel, she helped patch things up unknowingly. Daisuke looked gloomy as he sat there, shoving his food in his mouth and glowering at the two.
Takeru edged closer to Hikari, just to spark Daisuke's nerves. Hikari flushed and grinned and saw Daisuke turn red with anger.
"What's with you two?!" he screeched.
Everyone stared at him innocently. Iori nudged him with an elbow. "You're gonna get my mom riled up...in fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see her walk in right now."
"Sorry," he grumbled. "Why are you two suddenly so...close? Are you guys dating?!"
"Of course not!" they said in unison and looked at each other with grins. "We're just really good friends."
"Yeah right. I'll believe that when I see it."
"No one asked you to believe it," Takeru pointed out and Hikari nodded.
"You're always agreeing with him! It gets pretty old after awhile!" Daisuke declared and placed his chopsticks on the table, pouting.
"You're acting like a five year old. Eat your food," Iori scolded, handing him back the chopsticks he had just placed down.
"Fine." He took them back and continued eating.
"The dinner's tomorrow that Mimi was telling me about," Hikari spoke up to break the silence.
"Really? I remember Yamato mentioning something about it earlier," Takeru thought back and nodded. "Yeah, I remember."
"How come no one tells me?" Daisuke and Iori claimed together.
"Well, you know now! So be sure to show up or it could mean drastic measures," Takeru said quietly.
Iori and Daisuke fell silent. "W-What do you mean? Are you gonna come out and...," Daisuke began, and that's when Takeru burst out laughing and tackled both him and Iori.
"You're correct!"
The once nervous room was filled with laughter as the kids ran around playing rough house and soon found some pillows. "How about a food fight?!" Daisuke screamed.
"NO!" Iori shouted, dumping a bowl of rice on his head.
Daisuke cried. "I THOUGHT YOU SAID NO FOOD FIGHTS?!"
***
Takeru watched as Yamato dressed up nicely. "You act as though you're on a date," Takeru joked.
"Don't bring that up...everytime you do, Jun somehow pops up...That child is annoying! She's worse that Daisuke, I swear!"
"At least you're not stuck around him most of the time. He's cool, just self-centered sometimes. But I'm glad you and Taichi settled things."
"Yeah, me too. I was starting to feel akward about the whole ordeal. You know, maybe like the way you felt about having to ditch Hikari behind. I'm glad that you actually disobeyed me."
"I'm glad I did, too, though I felt awful about it. I guess I had more guts in doing so that Hikari."
"I don't blame her. I don't blame her for anything, not even for you getting sick. The reason was me."
"Well...I wouldn't say just you. I think it was my fault partially too..."
Yamato cut him short. "Yeah right. Let's head out. And Takeru..."
Takeru looked at his brother with admiration. "Hai?"
"Take that ridiculous hat off for a few hours would ya!? I swear, we're going to a fancy restaurant and you wanna wear a fisherman's hat!"
"No way!" Takeru cried, grabbing onto his hat.
"Give it," Yamato said. "I'll give you twenty bucks if you do."
"Make it fifty."
Takeru enjoyed watching Yamato grimice and he obliged. "Fine."
Handing him the hat, he walked by and opened the front door. "The ladies are waiting."
***
Yamato wanted to cry. "H-How did they find out?!"
"Oh, don't cry now. You'll look silly," Takeru said, grinning as all the fangirls stood by the doors of the restaurant swooning.
"I swear, you can't go anywhere without..."
"YAMATO-KUN!!"
This made Yamato want to cry even more. He made a wild dash to the table where Taichi and Sora sat at, waiting for the arrival of the others.
Jun blinked. "Why does your brother run? If he playing to get?"
"Uh...I wouldn't know...," he giggled nervously, and quickly walked to the table.
Gradually, everyone showed up, and Takeru allowed Hikari to sit next to him. "Thanks," she beamed at him, and could see from the corner of her eyes that Daisuke was examing the two closely.
"Glad to see you all here!" Mimi declared, standing up. "Now, I'll be glad to pay for everything, no matter what the price may be. Order what your heart desires and let's enjoy our night of reunioning!"
They all cheered and began to scavenge the menus. Daisuke couldn't help but look at Takeru and Hikari, watching them hover over the other, their faces nearly touching and their faces glowing a pinkish tone. He rolled his eyes and looked back into his menu.
Not long after ordering and receiving their food, Hikari claimed that she wanted to be outside in the fresh air for awhile, and was going to the balcony outside to get a good glimpse of the city. She excused herself and left, and Takeru watched her leave.
"Go talk to her. I'm sure she's enjoy your company," Taichi suddenly blurted, and Yamato agreed by nodding.
Blushing, Takeru knew what they were getting at. He shrugged and grinned, then got up and followed her, beelining through the tables and out to where she was standing. Opening the doors, he felt the cool wind caress his face gently. It was a beautiful night, and when he caught site of Hikari, it made it much more.
"Hey," he gently said, taking a standing position beside her. He couldn't resist looking at her soft face, the gentle brown eyes and the flowing hair that was waving in the wind. She looked at him with such intensity it sent chills down his spine.
"Takeru, I've been meaning to tell you something for so long...I tried to tell you earlier, when you were sick, but you never gave me the chance."
"I've been meaning to tell you something as well." He watched as Hikari faced him and took his hands in hers.
"Takeru, what you saw that day wasn't the true feelings I showed. I don't like Daisuke that way. Those feelings are for you, and only for you. I wanted to tell you I love you, and now, I can. Takeru, I love you," she whispered confidently and smoothly, as if she had rehearsed this a thousand times.
Takeru blinked a thousand times. He heard just what he wanted, though he never expected it to come so soon, yet at the perfect time. "I love you, too, Hikari. No matter what, my feelings will never subside. You know it."
"Then I guess we can end the night like it should be ended."
"Yes," he whispered and leaned towards her, closing his eyes.
Raising herself on her toes to reach him, she closed her eyes, and let their lips meet. For the two, it was one of the best experiences, as they stood there, their arms around the other, their lips together, under the moonlit night, forever and ever.
