something. And it's a Yakari, as in Yamato and Hikari. Yeah, I don't usually
write these, but I've decided to take a break from Sorato's and write this.
Enjoy!
Finding Love
~HKSuspect
Yamato Ishida sat on his bed, thinking. He was an A student and
a hugely
successful rock star. He had toured the world in the summer with his
band to
promote his new record. He had sold millions and made billions. He
had to
tour in the summer, his father would have never let him during the
school
year. "It would get in the way of school, son," his father had told
him.
But because he was such a star, every girl in Odaiba was after
him. I mean,
EVERY girl. Except one, and ironically, she happened to be the one
he cared
for most. Sora Takenouchi.
She had dumped him about a month ago, for Taichi Kamiya. He was
also a good
student and the star soccer player. As popular as Tai was, he was in
no
compare to Matt though. Matt was extremely popular, the cheerleaders
and
other "cute" girls would never leave him alone.
He sighed and sat down at his desk. "Time for math," he thought
to himself.
Math was his least favorite subject. As he searched his desk for a
pencil,
he saw the picture of Hikari that lay face down in a drawer. He picked
it up
and smiled, remembering the countless times she had comforted him since
he
broke up with Sora.
He hadn't talked to her much since the break up, since he was
busy with
school and his band. He reached for his phone and picked it up. "Maybe
it'd
be good to talk with her again," he thought as he dialed his number.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kari also sat on her bed, thinking. She was quiet and shy, like
she had
always been. Sure, she had her friends, but she didn't have the person
that
mattered most to her. Yamato Ishida.
He was all she thought about. His blonde hair and sparkling blue
eyes. But
every other girl in Odaiba also thought about him. Every girl in Odaiba
also
wanted him like crazy. She would sit and go on and on about Matt nearly
everyday at lunch. Every once in a while he would come to her table
and eat
with her and her friends. And each time her heart would freeze and
she would
stutter, but he didn't seem to notice.
Her friends would also giggle and flirt with Matt, but he had
later told
Kari that they were too girly for him. She would do anything for him
to love
her.
She had helped him through the hard times when Sora had dumped
him. He had
been a wreck, going through a state of depression. But she was there
for
him, always listening.
She sighed and tears filled her eyes. He would never know how
she felt. She
had dropped him hints a few times, but he didn't notice them or he
would
just laugh it off.
As if on cue her phone rang. She looked at the phone and picked
up after a
few rings. "Hello?" she answered.
"Hello, Kari?" said a familiar voice.
Her heart skipped a beat. "Matt..." she trailed off, but quickly came
back.
"Hey Matt, what's up? How have you been?"
"I've been okay. I was just calling to see how you were doing."
After some formal conversation, they talked for hours and hours.
Finally, the hour became late and they said their farewells. Kari hung
up
and sighed. She had dropped him several 'signals', but he failed to
notice
them. Sometimes he was just too thick-headed. She stood up and gathered
her
clothes for a shower. "Maybe this will take my mind off things," she
thought
as she headed into the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt hung up the phone. It was strange. He felt.... he felt.... something.
He couldn't explain what he felt. He felt butterflies in his stomach
when he
was talking to Kari. He felt the same way when he first told Sora how
he
felt.
Was he in love? He quickly shook the thought from his head. How could
he be
in love with Kari? She was his friend. Nothing more.
But still the thought loomed in his head as he went to the bathroom
to brush
his teeth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kari emerged from the shower a little while later. The shower did NOT
help.
It just got her thinking even more about Matt. She was so lonely and
in
love. There was no worse position to be in. She sat on her bed and
started
to sob. Why did she have to go through this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt sat on his bed, reading a long novel, when he suddenly felt the
urge to
see Kari. "Maybe I really am in love with her.." he thought. But this
time,
he didn't shake the feeling. The need to see her suddenly became so
overwhelming, he jumped out of bed and started throwing on clothes.
He rushed to the apartment comple the Kamiya's stayed at in the darkness
of
the night. He paused at the stairs - he would wake the family if he
went to
the door. And besides, Tai was on his death list. Instead he climbed
an oak
tree until he found Kari's room. He hopped onto the ledge and peered
into
her room.
His heart broke as he saw her lying on the bed, crying. It suddenly
dawned
on him why she was crying. She was crying for him. Why hadn't he noticed
it
earlier? All those hints and signals she was giving him... how could
he be
so stupid? He rapped on the window, anxious to talk with her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kari was on her bed, crying and clutching one of her stuffed animals.
She
thought she was pathetic, her stuffed animal was the only thing that
seemed
to comfort her.
She then heard someone rapping on the window. She was startled, thinking
it
was a burgular. But then she looked at who was really there, she saw
Yamato.
"This must be a dream," she thought to herself as she tried to put
everything together. But she knew this was no dream. She numbly walked
over
to the window and fumbled with the latch. It finally opened and Matt
climbed
in.
She then remember she had been crying and quickly wiped her tears and
straightened her hair. "Matt.. what are-what are you doing here?" she
stammered. "He stepped closer to her, looking at her like she had never
seen
before. Something about those eyes...
"Kari.. I came to see you," he told her.
"Why?" she asked. She was confused, to say the least.
"I love you, Kari."
She sat down on her bed, she couldn't believe what he had said. Before
she
knew what was happening, she had started to cry again.
"Stop it!" she almost yelled.
Matt sat down next to her. "Kari.. I'm sorry it's taken me this long
to
realize this. Please forgive me." he took her hands in his as he spoke.
"Matt... Matt.." she lost control and started to sob.
He pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her as she cried.
She didn't resist. She let all the tears come.
"Kari, I'm sorry.. I'm sorry it took me this long. I'm so dumb. I'm
so
sorry, I'm sorry." he kept apoligizing over and over, which only made
her
cry more.
After about twenty minutes, the tears finally ceased. She looked up
at him
and he wiped her tears away.
He kissed her cheek. "Kari, I know it's taken me a long time... but
I love
you. I love you so much."
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You don't need to
apolgize."
He softly stroked her hair and sighed, as she raised her head a bit
and
kissed him on the lips. Finally, she had found love.

a
minute, so review! Flames are welcome.
