If You
Disclaimer: Ok, for the last time, everyone, NOTHING IS MINE! Thanks to www.animelyrics.com for the lyrics to "If You;" THOSE AREN'T MINE EITHER, SO
DON'T SUE ME!!!
Whoa, God... I'm so nervous; this is the last part!!! Dry your eyes, everyone; I'll still write more! Let's get it on!
Yamato: Ok, let's go to your room...
I didn't mean that way! Actually, I wouldn't mind but.. uh... Gosh, get your mind out of the gutter...
Taichi (head peeks out of mysterious door, a corny smile on his face): AND INTO THE SEWER WITH THE REST OF US!
Ugh... Anyways, here's the fic for you people...
Chapter 9: If You
(A/N: It's Friday night. Sora and Yamato decided to take a break tonight; they're goin out tomorrow night, as if I didn't already tell you that before ::wink,
wink::))
"Mimi? You know that Yamato and I are going out tomorrow night, right?"
"Yeah, so...?"
"Well... I've been noticing that you and Jyou are getting awfully close lately..."
"And you want me to double with you?"
"Mimi! What a great idea!" ~Please accept, please accept!~
~Oh, she doesn't know what she's in for...~ "I guess... Let me find something to wear..."
"Mimi! You have all of tomorrow to do that!"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Open the door
To a room I've never been before
^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hi, this is Yamato; is Jyou there?"
"Sure, hang on a second." Yamato heard Jyou's older brother yell for him on the other line.
"It's ok, I got it. What's up, Yamato?"
"Well... In the park yesterday, I was sitting with Sora, and... she noticed that you and Mimi were getting pretty close."
"And...?"
"And, well, she got this crazy idea in her head that you'd want to go out with us tomorrow night as a double-date." ~Come on, Jyou... Don't let me down...
I don't want to disappoint her...~
~Hah! What a coincidence!~ "Sure, I'll go."
"Good, meet us in front of the movies at 7:30."
"Ok. See ya there."
"Ja."
^^^^^^^^^^^
Counting all the books I've read so long
Something is wrong Where love has gone
^^^^^^^^^^^
"Sora?"
"Hey, Mimi said she'd go!"
"Good; Jyou agreed too. I told him to meet us in front of the movies at 7:30."
"Great. See you tomorrow then."
"Yeah, see ya." He hung up the phone, a bit dejected; why was this conversation so short?
^^^^^^^^^^^
If I should cry
Thinking of the love I felt inside
^^^^^^^^^^^
(A/N: ok, now it's Saturday)
"Yamato..." He kissed her, passionately, his tongue working with her own. His arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her off the ground; her arms around
his neck. They were in her room, after their date. He carried her to her bed, laying her down gently, breaking their kiss.
"I love you, Sora..."
"I love you, too..." Slowly, their faces met again. His lips felt like... cotton... ~Cotton?! What's going on?!~ Sora opened her eyes to find her pillow in front
of her, it had all been a dream. ~Man... I have to stop thinking like that... Where do these dreams come from?~ She got up, to find a lovely spring morning
welcomed into her room. ~Mom came in again...~ She walked out to find Mimi sitting at the dining room table, eating a bowl of fruit.
"You're up early..."
"Good morning, star-shine, the earth says, 'Hello...'" Mimi began to sing the old song of the 70s, being dramatic too.
"Why're you so happy?"
"Because I'm going out with Jyou tonight! You should be happy too; you're going out with Yamato!"
"We do practically every weekend, Mims..." Sora padded into the kitchen, looking around the refrigerator for something to eat.
"Oh yeah, your Mom said she would be going out of town on some sort of flower-gathering workshop. What's that about?"
~I forgot Mom was going away this weekend... Well, she knows Mimi and I won't tear the house apart...~ "Oh... That just means she won't be home till
Monday; don't worry too much about it. She always leaves plenty of food and money."
"Mm. So, where are we going tonight?"
"I thought we'd go spray-paint a highway overpass, and then we'd vandalize a few cars and a public building..."
"Sounds like fun... Seriously, where are we going?" Mimi got up to put her bowl in the sink.
"We're going to the movies; where else did you think we were going?"
"I don't know. What are you gonna wear?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then, do what I do; GO SHOPPING!"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Don't misunderstand nothing's the clue
I cry for you Cause of love its true
^^^^^^^^^^^
They wandered around the shops for a while, their feet getting tired all the while walking. They sat down on a bench, the cool breeze of the Saturday
afternoon wafting by. Sora noticed that plenty of guys were walking by, and looking at Mimi in the process.
"Mimi, I think you have a fan club growing..."
"So what if I do; they can all sulk 'cause I already have my Jyou." Mimi crossed her arms, her attitude shifting to that of a stubborn two-year-old.
"Ok then..." Sora looked down at her bags; they had bought so many clothes. ~Man... I didn't know Mom had left this much money... Maybe she
overheard Mimi and I talking last night...~ "Mimi, I think we bought enough stuff; can we go home?"
"What time is it?"
"About 2:30"
"And what time are we going out?"
"We should leave around 7:15."
"Well, then, we can go home now." They got up, and headed off in the direction of the apartment complex. "Sora... If you really love Yamato, why haven't
you said anything?"
~That came out of nowhere...~ "Well, one time... I fell asleep in his arms... and... I was dreaming. I blurted out that I loved him, but he brushed it off."
"Ah... And he hasn't said anything to you?"
"Well..." She hesitated.
"Does he have any pet names for you?"
"There's one..."
"What is it?"
"... Sexy..." Sora blushed as she answered; she knew Mimi would make fun of her.
"That boy has the hots for you badly!"
"Mimi! I didn't ask you to tell the entire city!" Sora continued walking, Mimi catching up.
"Look, I'm sorry about the comment, but really... If he calls you that, then... He has to have it for you..."
"I try not to think about it..."
~I can't believe this girl! A great-looking guy is at her feet, loving her to death, and she doesn't even see it!~
^^^^^^^^^^
When does love
Speak words above evolving pain
Like if these tears turn to rain
Endlessly calms the sea
For you and me
^^^^^^^^^^
"So, what are you going to wear?"
"I don't know... I could wear this pink skirt... and this tank top ... with that cardigan on top..."
Mimi looked at the outfit Sora had picked out, approving of her fashion sense.
"Man, Sora; Yamato's got it made. You look great, you have attitude, you're sweet... And you can dress! What more could a guy want..."
"Um... ok..." Sora checked over her outfit. A pastel purple-pink skirt, a tank top with butterflies in the same color with navy blue ones too, and a navy-blue
cardigan.
(A/N: I kinda stole this look from a catalog; it's not my design, so don't sue me for it.)
She figured she'd take a shower to refresh herself. Jumping in, she put the hot water on, rinsing herself off. She grabbed the shampoo, working it up to a
lather on her hair. Washing that out, she grabbed her vanilla soap, the suds and bubbles spilling onto her arms. Feeling entirely revitalized, she got out,
picking out make-up. Before she did that, however, she blow-dried her hair, the baby-soft tresses falling perfectly around her face. Getting dressed, she
looked in the full-length mirror on the back of the bathroom door, complementing her style. She turned to don the make-up, doing a final check. ~Wow... I
think he's gonna be shocked; I haven't looked this great for a date... ever...~
She threw on a quick matching perfume to her soap, the light mist sprayed and then walked through by her. She noted how it smelled like honeysuckles,
too.
Mimi sat in the living room, waiting for Sora to emerge. ~What's taking that girl so long?~ As if on cue, Sora walked out, looking stunning. She drew in a
deep breath.
"How do I look?"
"If he doesn't love you by now, he will tonight!"
"Mimi, I don't want him to love me, I just... want to look good tonight..."
"Don't think about taking Jyou away from me..."
"I wouldn't dream of it!" Mimi got up to head into the bathroom, doing her primping as well. Sora glanced at the clock on the wall; it read 4 o'clock. ~4
o'clock?! We got back around 3... Did I really spend an hour in the bathroom? I guess the bulk of it was drying my hair...~ She headed into her room,
putting away the things she bought. As she went back and forth between her closet and her bed, she noticed Mimi's bags of clothing. ~Wow... she
bought a lot. Her parents probably gave her spending money...~
Sora decided she'd do the dishes and clean up the house before going out; she hated coming home to a mess.
(A/N: do I make her do the dishes too much? Oh well, she's gonna be some housewife when she's older, anyway, right?)
^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're so cold
If worlds just hold
If want to lean
I'm here for you
If you
^^^^^^^^^^^
Around an hour later, Mimi emerged from the bathroom, looking just as good as Sora. She wore a pair of black petal pushers, with a yellow tank top and a
white short-sleeved dress shirt on top. "How do I look, darling?" She did her best Telula Bankhead voice, striking a pose in front of Sora.
"You look grand, darling, simply grand!" She laughed with Mimi, giving her a hug. Sora finished the dishes, heading for her room, where Mimi was busy
going through her things.
"You nervous?"
"Me... nervous? YES! I don't know why, though; we've been out so many times before..."
"It's cause you like him..." Mimi teased her about her feelings, but Sora knew she was just kidding. "Hey, Sora... truth or dare?"
"What are you getting at this time?"
"Just pick one, truth or dare." Sora agreed to go along with the game; they'd have fun until it was time to go.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
When does love
Create the worlds above our pain
Like if these tears were to rain
Endlessly for the sea
Still you and me
^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Ok... which is it?"
"Hm... Dare."
"Ok... Seeing as how your lover boy is such a good singer, why don't you put him to shame tonight and sing him a song..."
"I couldn't do that! No way!"
"Oh, come on, Sora... It's gotta be on the date. It can be either when you walk him home or when we're all together... Pick one now!"
"Mimi!"
"I'm not kidding; pick one!"
"Ok... I'll do it when I'm alone with him..."
"What song are you gonna sing?"
"Uh..." Sora thought for a minute, stumped. ~Maybe I just... won't sing...~
"Hey! How about you sing that old song by Sakamoto Maaya; you know, 'Aoi Hitomi'!"
"I don't know..."
"Oh, come on!!!"
"Ok, fine..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're so cold
If worlds just hold
If were to lean
I'm here for you
So if you
^^^^^^^^^^^^
~Why do I feel so nervous this time...? It's just like any other date... So why does it feel so different?~ Yamato approached her door, ringing the bell. He
expected Sora to answer, but instead, found Mimi there.
"Hey, there, handsome. Your fairy princess will be read in a minute. Come on in." She headed into the bathroom, doing final touch-ups. He walked in,
leaning against the wall in the living room. He looked around at the framed pictures on the wall, pictures of Sora when she was in soccer, and recently
from when she joined tennis. He circled the room, the last one he looked at ending at her door. She opened it, to find him standing right there, walking
into him.
"Sorry... I didn't know you were there!"
"No, it's my fault; I shouldn't have been standing in front of your door!" He stood back to look at her, taking all of her in. ~God... She's so beautiful... I
can't believe... Why is she so dressed up? Is it just because she wants to look good for Mimi and Jyou... or is it for me?~
"It's ok."
"Hey, how you doin'?"
(A/N: like Joey on Friends, right? "How YOU DOIN'?")
She smiled back at him. "Fine, just fine. You ready to go?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Mm-hm."
"Well, I know I am!" The pair looked to see Mimi standing behind them, her weight shifted and her hands resting on her hips. "Let's go, you two!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Close the door
'Cause the room won't need us anymore
Holding our words
Just fill those books
^^^^^^^^^^^^
~I hope I'm not late... He did say 7:30, right?~ Jyou waited outside of the theater, panic and nervousness jilting him every now and then. He turned to
see Yamato walking with Mimi and Sora, an arm around each of them. "Hey, let go of my date; you've got your own!"
Mimi ran up to him, giving him a hug. Sora smiled at the two, they were just getting to know each other again. They all walked in, happy to be in a circle of
friends.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Sora and Yamato took their usual spot in the movies, Mimi and Jyou sitting a few rows in front of them. The movie, which was an action flick, with a little
romance stuck in, didn't keep Mimi's nor Jyou's attention; they focused on each other.
"I can't believe them... already!"
"I'm not surprised; had you actually been paying attention to the movie, you would know it's up to that part where the guy gets the girl."
She turned to him. "Are you saying that..." He nodded his head.
He got closer to her, uneasiness rising within her. ~Why am I so nervous? He's kissed me before... But now... What's so different?~ His face met hers in a
soft kiss of passion. He cradled her cheeks in his hands, hers resting on his arms. Their mouths grew hungry, the tension building between them. Like so
many times before, his tongue met hers deep in their kiss. ~Why... Why do I feel so much more from this than I ever have before? Why... Why can't this
just end... But I don't want it to...~
"Hey, you two, break it up!" Jyou half-whispered, half-yelled at the couple behind him, the two of them kissing madly. They separated quickly, blushing.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sometimes love looks
Like if love has gone
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The four walked to the entrance of the theater, noticing that it was raining. "Ne, Jyou, would you mind walking me home?"
"Not at all; I shall protect you, my lady!" He struck a valiant pose as he said this, Mimi giggling at him. "See you guys later!" Jyou put up his coat, their
heads hidden underneath it. The two headed off into the rain, it started to pour down.
"Bye..." Sora waved to them, a silence growing between her and Yamato. ~Why are we not speaking? What's the big deal now?~
"Wanna go to my place? I think Mimi and Jyou will invade your apartment."
"Eh... Sure..." They ran to his apartment, the silence still hanging heavy among them. ~Why do I feel so different now? Is it because I know that I love
him...?~
~She's not speaking... Could she know? Could... Oh, Taichi told her, I know it!~ They reached his door, still not speaking. He opened it, flipping the lights
on. They were both soaking wet, and very cold. "My dad isn't home at all; he's out filming something on location. I'll give you some clothes to change into;
if you stay in that, you'll get pneumonia."
"Ok."
He went into his room, giving her a blanket and some extra clothes of his. He closed his door, changing too, and she went into the bathroom. Realizing
that all of her clothes were wet, she did the inevitable; she wore just the clothes that Yamato had given her. Looking at herself, Sora realized the clothes
were huge. A pair of drawstring sweatpants and a large, over-sized guys' shirt dwarfed her. She blow-dried her hair, and came out of the bathroom to
find Yamato in the kitchen, making tea.
"It didn't look like it was going to rain before..."
"I know. It was such a beautiful night..." She turned around to head into the living room, but stopped at what he said. "Like you..."
~Did he...~
~Oh no... it slipped... I guess I'm going to have to...~
"Did you just..." He walked up to her, cupping her chin, her eyes meeting his.
"Sora... Believe me when I do this..." He placed a soft kiss on her lips, a tingling sensation being pressed onto hers.
She broke the kiss suddenly. ~No... I can't right now...~ "Yamato... I should go..."
"You can't; you'll get sick if you go out there... It's better if you stay here..."
"Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" She headed for his room, Yamato following her.
"Why did you have to..." Tears formed in her eyes, spilling over. She began to cry, her back to him. "Why did you have to kiss me...?" His arms wrapped
around her to hug her, but were rejected. "Don't! Just don't..." She broke away from him, still crying.
"Sora... What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?! The fact that we've been 'going out' for over a month now is what's wrong! I mean..." ~Why now?~ "That day that I
walked out of math class, and saw you in the hall, I did not expect something like this to come from it. You just... You just had to kiss me! And I didn't ... I
only thought of you as a friend at that point, but then... When you kissed me... I just... and then you treated me like your girlfriend... And you were so
perfect!" She began to hit him, his arms, punching him, slapping him, where ever she could.
"Sora, Sora! Stop! Look, you're not getting anywhere with hitting me!"
"But..." She gave in, her body being welcomed by his. She continued to cry on his shirt, sobs wracking her small body.
"Sshhh... calm down."
"I can't!"
"Look..." He again, tilted their heads to meet on the same angle, her eyes gazing into his. He kissed her, his emotions pouring out of him like a fountain.
She still cried, sobbing when his hand met her cheek. She broke the kiss, only to cry more.
"You can't just do this! You can't kiss me and make it all better!" She turned around again, hugging herself.
"Why...?"
"Because... Because...." ~I can't say it...~
"Why, Sora?"
"Because I love you!" She inhaled sharply, sniffling. "So just... go... make fun of me now..."
"But, Sora..."
"What?!" She snapped. His arms came around her, hugging her again, from behind.
"I love you too..." She cried even harder at this point, never stopping. She turned around, hugging him too, her tears kept coming.
"I couldn't have imagined what came from that one kiss... and then all those other times you kissed me... I thought you were trying to tell me
something,... but... I always denied that you felt the same way that I did... and I never ..." She continued to cry, calming down after a while. He still held
her in his arms, pulling away from her to look at her. "You must think I'm the dumbest person on earth right now..."
"I would never think that..." His hand stroked her cheek, brushing away her tears.
"Don't say it, please... Just don't say you love me..."
He whispered. "But I can't help it..." He kissed her, fully, on the lips, their kisses never ending. Their tongues entwined, they finally knew how one another
felt. ~I know... she loves me back...~ His arms rested at her waist, hers at his shoulders. He began to bunch the fabric up, gently lifting it.
~Don't... Please, let this be true...~ She broke the kiss for him to pull the shirt off her, her arms covering her chest. He threw the shirt on the floor, moving
away from her. ~What's he doing?~ He moved to his door, closing it, turning the lights off. The moon beams were the only illuminations in the room, the
gentle glow being reflected onto her face. He returned to her, hugging her tenderly. "I'll always love you... I'll never stop..."
"Yamato..."
"Hm?"
"Just kiss me..." They met there, the moment holding forever, their kisses coming fast and hungry. She began to trail backwards, towards his bed. He
caught on, laying her down softly, their love continuing into the night...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So I won't cry
Now I know our love will never die
If I understand the reasons why
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sora lay in a bed, sheets covering her nude body, her soft breathing the only sound in the room, other than his. She lay on her left side, her left arm
outstretched in front of her, her other holding the sheets to her. His hand trailed her arm, the fingers barely touching her skin, tickling it. He stopped to
rub her palm, causing her to twinge. "Mm..."
"Wake up, darling..."
"Go away... let me sleep..."
"But I love you..." Sora recognized the voice, her eyes flashing open.
"Yamato..."
"Right here!" She turned over to see him staring back at her, just as naked as she was. She blushed, realizing what had happened the night before.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you... use..."
"I sure did... I knew you didn't want to be the only tennis player with a baby, so I decided to relieve you."
"Yamato..."
"I know..." She rested on her back, the events playing over in her mind.
"Last night... really did happen, didn't it?"
"It sure did..." He rubbed his nose with hers, receiving a smile from her.
"Do you really love me...?"
"Would we be here if I didn't?" Again, she smiled, wrapping her arms around him.
"What are we going to do today, sweetie pie?"
"Well, I thought ... Actually, I didn't think..."
"How about you start your day off right with a kiss?"
"Sounds good to me..." He wrapped his unsupporting arm around her, her arms tightening around him. Their tongues sliding together, they were startled
when his door was thrown open.
"Onii-san, I-!" Takeru gaped at the sight before him; clothes sprinkled on the floor, and his older brother laying in bed with one of his best friends.
Yamato motioned to yell at Takeru, but Sora stopped him. She shook her head no, and he turned back to his otouto. "Takeru, what are you doing here?"
He sat up.
"I had to tell you this; Koushirou discovered that not only do our crests and Digimon react to our emotions, but our Digivices do, too! That means that
whenever your crest is being displayed by you at its fullest, it'll go nuts!"
"Is that all?" Sora sat up as well, careful to keep the sheets over her.
"No; be at Koushirou's at one o'clock with your Digivice. Oh yeah, when did you two get together?"
"It's a long story; we'll explain it later."
"Yeah, that means bye, Takeru!" Yamato was getting annoyed with his brother. ~He thinks he can just walk in here and start asking questions...?~
"Ok, I don't wanna stay here another second!" He shut the door, and headed out.
Sora sighed, laying back down. "That was close..." He joined her, resuming his position. His lips didn't touch hers, however.
"Yeah, and so are we, now..."
"Before you do this, what time is it?" He reached over to look at the clock on his nightstand, to find that it said 10:30.
"That's plenty of time for us to-"
"Not this morning."
"Aw... but..."
"We can always do... other... things..." She looked at him, playfully and seductively, shifting to make herself more comfortable.
"Sora! I can't believe you, of all people, would think like that!"
"It's not my fault; we wouldn't be lying here if it weren't for you..."
"Oh yeah... Well, anyways, what did you have in mind?"
"Guess..."
"Ok..." He kissed her, passionately, his arms wrapping around her again, her arms encircling his neck. They continued to kiss, their tongues reaching out.
They stayed like that for a while, in each other's arms, but stayed forever, in each other's hearts.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you... if I and you...
Know that love is true
AAHHH!!! IT'S DONE!!! Well, not entirely; I still have an epilogue to do, but I'll do that tomorrow... AHH!!! I'm out everyone... till next time.... Oh yeah,
everyone; if you are really confused about all the song titles and things, just download the songs. It helps, A LOT! Especially with this chapter, and with
"Perfect World." Go ahead, NOW, NOW, I SAY! Well, everyone, it was great... wait, what am I talking about? I still have an epilogue to do!!!
Disclaimer: Ok, for the last time, everyone, NOTHING IS MINE! Thanks to www.animelyrics.com for the lyrics to "If You;" THOSE AREN'T MINE EITHER, SO
DON'T SUE ME!!!
Whoa, God... I'm so nervous; this is the last part!!! Dry your eyes, everyone; I'll still write more! Let's get it on!
Yamato: Ok, let's go to your room...
I didn't mean that way! Actually, I wouldn't mind but.. uh... Gosh, get your mind out of the gutter...
Taichi (head peeks out of mysterious door, a corny smile on his face): AND INTO THE SEWER WITH THE REST OF US!
Ugh... Anyways, here's the fic for you people...
Chapter 9: If You
(A/N: It's Friday night. Sora and Yamato decided to take a break tonight; they're goin out tomorrow night, as if I didn't already tell you that before ::wink,
wink::))
"Mimi? You know that Yamato and I are going out tomorrow night, right?"
"Yeah, so...?"
"Well... I've been noticing that you and Jyou are getting awfully close lately..."
"And you want me to double with you?"
"Mimi! What a great idea!" ~Please accept, please accept!~
~Oh, she doesn't know what she's in for...~ "I guess... Let me find something to wear..."
"Mimi! You have all of tomorrow to do that!"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Open the door
To a room I've never been before
^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hi, this is Yamato; is Jyou there?"
"Sure, hang on a second." Yamato heard Jyou's older brother yell for him on the other line.
"It's ok, I got it. What's up, Yamato?"
"Well... In the park yesterday, I was sitting with Sora, and... she noticed that you and Mimi were getting pretty close."
"And...?"
"And, well, she got this crazy idea in her head that you'd want to go out with us tomorrow night as a double-date." ~Come on, Jyou... Don't let me down...
I don't want to disappoint her...~
~Hah! What a coincidence!~ "Sure, I'll go."
"Good, meet us in front of the movies at 7:30."
"Ok. See ya there."
"Ja."
^^^^^^^^^^^
Counting all the books I've read so long
Something is wrong Where love has gone
^^^^^^^^^^^
"Sora?"
"Hey, Mimi said she'd go!"
"Good; Jyou agreed too. I told him to meet us in front of the movies at 7:30."
"Great. See you tomorrow then."
"Yeah, see ya." He hung up the phone, a bit dejected; why was this conversation so short?
^^^^^^^^^^^
If I should cry
Thinking of the love I felt inside
^^^^^^^^^^^
(A/N: ok, now it's Saturday)
"Yamato..." He kissed her, passionately, his tongue working with her own. His arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her off the ground; her arms around
his neck. They were in her room, after their date. He carried her to her bed, laying her down gently, breaking their kiss.
"I love you, Sora..."
"I love you, too..." Slowly, their faces met again. His lips felt like... cotton... ~Cotton?! What's going on?!~ Sora opened her eyes to find her pillow in front
of her, it had all been a dream. ~Man... I have to stop thinking like that... Where do these dreams come from?~ She got up, to find a lovely spring morning
welcomed into her room. ~Mom came in again...~ She walked out to find Mimi sitting at the dining room table, eating a bowl of fruit.
"You're up early..."
"Good morning, star-shine, the earth says, 'Hello...'" Mimi began to sing the old song of the 70s, being dramatic too.
"Why're you so happy?"
"Because I'm going out with Jyou tonight! You should be happy too; you're going out with Yamato!"
"We do practically every weekend, Mims..." Sora padded into the kitchen, looking around the refrigerator for something to eat.
"Oh yeah, your Mom said she would be going out of town on some sort of flower-gathering workshop. What's that about?"
~I forgot Mom was going away this weekend... Well, she knows Mimi and I won't tear the house apart...~ "Oh... That just means she won't be home till
Monday; don't worry too much about it. She always leaves plenty of food and money."
"Mm. So, where are we going tonight?"
"I thought we'd go spray-paint a highway overpass, and then we'd vandalize a few cars and a public building..."
"Sounds like fun... Seriously, where are we going?" Mimi got up to put her bowl in the sink.
"We're going to the movies; where else did you think we were going?"
"I don't know. What are you gonna wear?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then, do what I do; GO SHOPPING!"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Don't misunderstand nothing's the clue
I cry for you Cause of love its true
^^^^^^^^^^^
They wandered around the shops for a while, their feet getting tired all the while walking. They sat down on a bench, the cool breeze of the Saturday
afternoon wafting by. Sora noticed that plenty of guys were walking by, and looking at Mimi in the process.
"Mimi, I think you have a fan club growing..."
"So what if I do; they can all sulk 'cause I already have my Jyou." Mimi crossed her arms, her attitude shifting to that of a stubborn two-year-old.
"Ok then..." Sora looked down at her bags; they had bought so many clothes. ~Man... I didn't know Mom had left this much money... Maybe she
overheard Mimi and I talking last night...~ "Mimi, I think we bought enough stuff; can we go home?"
"What time is it?"
"About 2:30"
"And what time are we going out?"
"We should leave around 7:15."
"Well, then, we can go home now." They got up, and headed off in the direction of the apartment complex. "Sora... If you really love Yamato, why haven't
you said anything?"
~That came out of nowhere...~ "Well, one time... I fell asleep in his arms... and... I was dreaming. I blurted out that I loved him, but he brushed it off."
"Ah... And he hasn't said anything to you?"
"Well..." She hesitated.
"Does he have any pet names for you?"
"There's one..."
"What is it?"
"... Sexy..." Sora blushed as she answered; she knew Mimi would make fun of her.
"That boy has the hots for you badly!"
"Mimi! I didn't ask you to tell the entire city!" Sora continued walking, Mimi catching up.
"Look, I'm sorry about the comment, but really... If he calls you that, then... He has to have it for you..."
"I try not to think about it..."
~I can't believe this girl! A great-looking guy is at her feet, loving her to death, and she doesn't even see it!~
^^^^^^^^^^
When does love
Speak words above evolving pain
Like if these tears turn to rain
Endlessly calms the sea
For you and me
^^^^^^^^^^
"So, what are you going to wear?"
"I don't know... I could wear this pink skirt... and this tank top ... with that cardigan on top..."
Mimi looked at the outfit Sora had picked out, approving of her fashion sense.
"Man, Sora; Yamato's got it made. You look great, you have attitude, you're sweet... And you can dress! What more could a guy want..."
"Um... ok..." Sora checked over her outfit. A pastel purple-pink skirt, a tank top with butterflies in the same color with navy blue ones too, and a navy-blue
cardigan.
(A/N: I kinda stole this look from a catalog; it's not my design, so don't sue me for it.)
She figured she'd take a shower to refresh herself. Jumping in, she put the hot water on, rinsing herself off. She grabbed the shampoo, working it up to a
lather on her hair. Washing that out, she grabbed her vanilla soap, the suds and bubbles spilling onto her arms. Feeling entirely revitalized, she got out,
picking out make-up. Before she did that, however, she blow-dried her hair, the baby-soft tresses falling perfectly around her face. Getting dressed, she
looked in the full-length mirror on the back of the bathroom door, complementing her style. She turned to don the make-up, doing a final check. ~Wow... I
think he's gonna be shocked; I haven't looked this great for a date... ever...~
She threw on a quick matching perfume to her soap, the light mist sprayed and then walked through by her. She noted how it smelled like honeysuckles,
too.
Mimi sat in the living room, waiting for Sora to emerge. ~What's taking that girl so long?~ As if on cue, Sora walked out, looking stunning. She drew in a
deep breath.
"How do I look?"
"If he doesn't love you by now, he will tonight!"
"Mimi, I don't want him to love me, I just... want to look good tonight..."
"Don't think about taking Jyou away from me..."
"I wouldn't dream of it!" Mimi got up to head into the bathroom, doing her primping as well. Sora glanced at the clock on the wall; it read 4 o'clock. ~4
o'clock?! We got back around 3... Did I really spend an hour in the bathroom? I guess the bulk of it was drying my hair...~ She headed into her room,
putting away the things she bought. As she went back and forth between her closet and her bed, she noticed Mimi's bags of clothing. ~Wow... she
bought a lot. Her parents probably gave her spending money...~
Sora decided she'd do the dishes and clean up the house before going out; she hated coming home to a mess.
(A/N: do I make her do the dishes too much? Oh well, she's gonna be some housewife when she's older, anyway, right?)
^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're so cold
If worlds just hold
If want to lean
I'm here for you
If you
^^^^^^^^^^^
Around an hour later, Mimi emerged from the bathroom, looking just as good as Sora. She wore a pair of black petal pushers, with a yellow tank top and a
white short-sleeved dress shirt on top. "How do I look, darling?" She did her best Telula Bankhead voice, striking a pose in front of Sora.
"You look grand, darling, simply grand!" She laughed with Mimi, giving her a hug. Sora finished the dishes, heading for her room, where Mimi was busy
going through her things.
"You nervous?"
"Me... nervous? YES! I don't know why, though; we've been out so many times before..."
"It's cause you like him..." Mimi teased her about her feelings, but Sora knew she was just kidding. "Hey, Sora... truth or dare?"
"What are you getting at this time?"
"Just pick one, truth or dare." Sora agreed to go along with the game; they'd have fun until it was time to go.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
When does love
Create the worlds above our pain
Like if these tears were to rain
Endlessly for the sea
Still you and me
^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Ok... which is it?"
"Hm... Dare."
"Ok... Seeing as how your lover boy is such a good singer, why don't you put him to shame tonight and sing him a song..."
"I couldn't do that! No way!"
"Oh, come on, Sora... It's gotta be on the date. It can be either when you walk him home or when we're all together... Pick one now!"
"Mimi!"
"I'm not kidding; pick one!"
"Ok... I'll do it when I'm alone with him..."
"What song are you gonna sing?"
"Uh..." Sora thought for a minute, stumped. ~Maybe I just... won't sing...~
"Hey! How about you sing that old song by Sakamoto Maaya; you know, 'Aoi Hitomi'!"
"I don't know..."
"Oh, come on!!!"
"Ok, fine..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're so cold
If worlds just hold
If were to lean
I'm here for you
So if you
^^^^^^^^^^^^
~Why do I feel so nervous this time...? It's just like any other date... So why does it feel so different?~ Yamato approached her door, ringing the bell. He
expected Sora to answer, but instead, found Mimi there.
"Hey, there, handsome. Your fairy princess will be read in a minute. Come on in." She headed into the bathroom, doing final touch-ups. He walked in,
leaning against the wall in the living room. He looked around at the framed pictures on the wall, pictures of Sora when she was in soccer, and recently
from when she joined tennis. He circled the room, the last one he looked at ending at her door. She opened it, to find him standing right there, walking
into him.
"Sorry... I didn't know you were there!"
"No, it's my fault; I shouldn't have been standing in front of your door!" He stood back to look at her, taking all of her in. ~God... She's so beautiful... I
can't believe... Why is she so dressed up? Is it just because she wants to look good for Mimi and Jyou... or is it for me?~
"It's ok."
"Hey, how you doin'?"
(A/N: like Joey on Friends, right? "How YOU DOIN'?")
She smiled back at him. "Fine, just fine. You ready to go?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Mm-hm."
"Well, I know I am!" The pair looked to see Mimi standing behind them, her weight shifted and her hands resting on her hips. "Let's go, you two!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Close the door
'Cause the room won't need us anymore
Holding our words
Just fill those books
^^^^^^^^^^^^
~I hope I'm not late... He did say 7:30, right?~ Jyou waited outside of the theater, panic and nervousness jilting him every now and then. He turned to
see Yamato walking with Mimi and Sora, an arm around each of them. "Hey, let go of my date; you've got your own!"
Mimi ran up to him, giving him a hug. Sora smiled at the two, they were just getting to know each other again. They all walked in, happy to be in a circle of
friends.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Sora and Yamato took their usual spot in the movies, Mimi and Jyou sitting a few rows in front of them. The movie, which was an action flick, with a little
romance stuck in, didn't keep Mimi's nor Jyou's attention; they focused on each other.
"I can't believe them... already!"
"I'm not surprised; had you actually been paying attention to the movie, you would know it's up to that part where the guy gets the girl."
She turned to him. "Are you saying that..." He nodded his head.
He got closer to her, uneasiness rising within her. ~Why am I so nervous? He's kissed me before... But now... What's so different?~ His face met hers in a
soft kiss of passion. He cradled her cheeks in his hands, hers resting on his arms. Their mouths grew hungry, the tension building between them. Like so
many times before, his tongue met hers deep in their kiss. ~Why... Why do I feel so much more from this than I ever have before? Why... Why can't this
just end... But I don't want it to...~
"Hey, you two, break it up!" Jyou half-whispered, half-yelled at the couple behind him, the two of them kissing madly. They separated quickly, blushing.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sometimes love looks
Like if love has gone
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The four walked to the entrance of the theater, noticing that it was raining. "Ne, Jyou, would you mind walking me home?"
"Not at all; I shall protect you, my lady!" He struck a valiant pose as he said this, Mimi giggling at him. "See you guys later!" Jyou put up his coat, their
heads hidden underneath it. The two headed off into the rain, it started to pour down.
"Bye..." Sora waved to them, a silence growing between her and Yamato. ~Why are we not speaking? What's the big deal now?~
"Wanna go to my place? I think Mimi and Jyou will invade your apartment."
"Eh... Sure..." They ran to his apartment, the silence still hanging heavy among them. ~Why do I feel so different now? Is it because I know that I love
him...?~
~She's not speaking... Could she know? Could... Oh, Taichi told her, I know it!~ They reached his door, still not speaking. He opened it, flipping the lights
on. They were both soaking wet, and very cold. "My dad isn't home at all; he's out filming something on location. I'll give you some clothes to change into;
if you stay in that, you'll get pneumonia."
"Ok."
He went into his room, giving her a blanket and some extra clothes of his. He closed his door, changing too, and she went into the bathroom. Realizing
that all of her clothes were wet, she did the inevitable; she wore just the clothes that Yamato had given her. Looking at herself, Sora realized the clothes
were huge. A pair of drawstring sweatpants and a large, over-sized guys' shirt dwarfed her. She blow-dried her hair, and came out of the bathroom to
find Yamato in the kitchen, making tea.
"It didn't look like it was going to rain before..."
"I know. It was such a beautiful night..." She turned around to head into the living room, but stopped at what he said. "Like you..."
~Did he...~
~Oh no... it slipped... I guess I'm going to have to...~
"Did you just..." He walked up to her, cupping her chin, her eyes meeting his.
"Sora... Believe me when I do this..." He placed a soft kiss on her lips, a tingling sensation being pressed onto hers.
She broke the kiss suddenly. ~No... I can't right now...~ "Yamato... I should go..."
"You can't; you'll get sick if you go out there... It's better if you stay here..."
"Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" She headed for his room, Yamato following her.
"Why did you have to..." Tears formed in her eyes, spilling over. She began to cry, her back to him. "Why did you have to kiss me...?" His arms wrapped
around her to hug her, but were rejected. "Don't! Just don't..." She broke away from him, still crying.
"Sora... What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?! The fact that we've been 'going out' for over a month now is what's wrong! I mean..." ~Why now?~ "That day that I
walked out of math class, and saw you in the hall, I did not expect something like this to come from it. You just... You just had to kiss me! And I didn't ... I
only thought of you as a friend at that point, but then... When you kissed me... I just... and then you treated me like your girlfriend... And you were so
perfect!" She began to hit him, his arms, punching him, slapping him, where ever she could.
"Sora, Sora! Stop! Look, you're not getting anywhere with hitting me!"
"But..." She gave in, her body being welcomed by his. She continued to cry on his shirt, sobs wracking her small body.
"Sshhh... calm down."
"I can't!"
"Look..." He again, tilted their heads to meet on the same angle, her eyes gazing into his. He kissed her, his emotions pouring out of him like a fountain.
She still cried, sobbing when his hand met her cheek. She broke the kiss, only to cry more.
"You can't just do this! You can't kiss me and make it all better!" She turned around again, hugging herself.
"Why...?"
"Because... Because...." ~I can't say it...~
"Why, Sora?"
"Because I love you!" She inhaled sharply, sniffling. "So just... go... make fun of me now..."
"But, Sora..."
"What?!" She snapped. His arms came around her, hugging her again, from behind.
"I love you too..." She cried even harder at this point, never stopping. She turned around, hugging him too, her tears kept coming.
"I couldn't have imagined what came from that one kiss... and then all those other times you kissed me... I thought you were trying to tell me
something,... but... I always denied that you felt the same way that I did... and I never ..." She continued to cry, calming down after a while. He still held
her in his arms, pulling away from her to look at her. "You must think I'm the dumbest person on earth right now..."
"I would never think that..." His hand stroked her cheek, brushing away her tears.
"Don't say it, please... Just don't say you love me..."
He whispered. "But I can't help it..." He kissed her, fully, on the lips, their kisses never ending. Their tongues entwined, they finally knew how one another
felt. ~I know... she loves me back...~ His arms rested at her waist, hers at his shoulders. He began to bunch the fabric up, gently lifting it.
~Don't... Please, let this be true...~ She broke the kiss for him to pull the shirt off her, her arms covering her chest. He threw the shirt on the floor, moving
away from her. ~What's he doing?~ He moved to his door, closing it, turning the lights off. The moon beams were the only illuminations in the room, the
gentle glow being reflected onto her face. He returned to her, hugging her tenderly. "I'll always love you... I'll never stop..."
"Yamato..."
"Hm?"
"Just kiss me..." They met there, the moment holding forever, their kisses coming fast and hungry. She began to trail backwards, towards his bed. He
caught on, laying her down softly, their love continuing into the night...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So I won't cry
Now I know our love will never die
If I understand the reasons why
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sora lay in a bed, sheets covering her nude body, her soft breathing the only sound in the room, other than his. She lay on her left side, her left arm
outstretched in front of her, her other holding the sheets to her. His hand trailed her arm, the fingers barely touching her skin, tickling it. He stopped to
rub her palm, causing her to twinge. "Mm..."
"Wake up, darling..."
"Go away... let me sleep..."
"But I love you..." Sora recognized the voice, her eyes flashing open.
"Yamato..."
"Right here!" She turned over to see him staring back at her, just as naked as she was. She blushed, realizing what had happened the night before.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you... use..."
"I sure did... I knew you didn't want to be the only tennis player with a baby, so I decided to relieve you."
"Yamato..."
"I know..." She rested on her back, the events playing over in her mind.
"Last night... really did happen, didn't it?"
"It sure did..." He rubbed his nose with hers, receiving a smile from her.
"Do you really love me...?"
"Would we be here if I didn't?" Again, she smiled, wrapping her arms around him.
"What are we going to do today, sweetie pie?"
"Well, I thought ... Actually, I didn't think..."
"How about you start your day off right with a kiss?"
"Sounds good to me..." He wrapped his unsupporting arm around her, her arms tightening around him. Their tongues sliding together, they were startled
when his door was thrown open.
"Onii-san, I-!" Takeru gaped at the sight before him; clothes sprinkled on the floor, and his older brother laying in bed with one of his best friends.
Yamato motioned to yell at Takeru, but Sora stopped him. She shook her head no, and he turned back to his otouto. "Takeru, what are you doing here?"
He sat up.
"I had to tell you this; Koushirou discovered that not only do our crests and Digimon react to our emotions, but our Digivices do, too! That means that
whenever your crest is being displayed by you at its fullest, it'll go nuts!"
"Is that all?" Sora sat up as well, careful to keep the sheets over her.
"No; be at Koushirou's at one o'clock with your Digivice. Oh yeah, when did you two get together?"
"It's a long story; we'll explain it later."
"Yeah, that means bye, Takeru!" Yamato was getting annoyed with his brother. ~He thinks he can just walk in here and start asking questions...?~
"Ok, I don't wanna stay here another second!" He shut the door, and headed out.
Sora sighed, laying back down. "That was close..." He joined her, resuming his position. His lips didn't touch hers, however.
"Yeah, and so are we, now..."
"Before you do this, what time is it?" He reached over to look at the clock on his nightstand, to find that it said 10:30.
"That's plenty of time for us to-"
"Not this morning."
"Aw... but..."
"We can always do... other... things..." She looked at him, playfully and seductively, shifting to make herself more comfortable.
"Sora! I can't believe you, of all people, would think like that!"
"It's not my fault; we wouldn't be lying here if it weren't for you..."
"Oh yeah... Well, anyways, what did you have in mind?"
"Guess..."
"Ok..." He kissed her, passionately, his arms wrapping around her again, her arms encircling his neck. They continued to kiss, their tongues reaching out.
They stayed like that for a while, in each other's arms, but stayed forever, in each other's hearts.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
