Friends Forever
Chapter 2
"Sora!" Taichi yelled, running to catch up to his best friend.
"Hmm?" She asked, her voice void of emotion.
"Did you get my e-mail?" He asked, panting.
She shrugged. "Maybe."
"Oh come on!" He exclaimed.
She smiled amusingly. "Possibly."
"Sora!" He yelled, a little annoyed.
Sora was about to reply, but the bell interrupted her. I have to go to class, so I'll tell you later." She ran off.
Taichi's head hung down. "Hmm, déjà vu." Then his head suddenly jerked up. "Hey, wait! We have homeroom together!" He ran, trying to catch up, but the bell rag again, making him tardy.
"Mr. Yagami, I'll expect to see you after school."
"Aw, Ida-sensei, detention? Come on!" Taichi replied.
"Yes, sir, it's detention. It's not my fault you were late, so don't blame me." His teacher replied.
"But, but, but-"
"Okay, class, please turn your algebra books to page 223." The teacher interrupted Taichi.
Taichi groaned in frustration and defeat, then started mumbling to himself. "StupidSoramademelateallIaskedwasasmallquestionhowhardisittoansweryesorno? WaitdidIjustsaySorawasstupid? NowI'mthestupidone. ButyessheistoobecausenowIhavedetentionandIwon'tgettotalktoherafterschool,nothatwassmartofher,toobadI'msostupid…" AN: If you didn't get that, umm… I'll have what he said at the bottom. Aah, I'm forgetting to use the spacebar now.
"Mr. Yagami, when you're done talking to yourself you can answer problem number seven." The class giggled.
"3x plus 4y equals 7." Taichi blurted without thinking, which only made the class laugh harder.
"Mr. Ishida, please help your friend."
"3x times 4x is 12x squared." Yamato replied, his blue eyes reflecting no emotion. The battle with Doburimon had a huge impact on him, but did it effect Taichi that much?
Two hours passed slowly. Taichi had decided to talk to Sora during their 15-minute break coming soon. If not, well, there's always lunch. The teacher had switched to science about an hour ago, but Taichi's mind still wouldn't process any information. The bell suddenly rang, signaling Taichi to go up and do what he had planned to do.
But his teacher voice cut through his senses like a knife. "Taichi, come here please." Sitting in the front, he had no way of avoiding his teacher.
"Yes, sir?"
"I'll give you a choice. You can serve your detention now and at lunch or after school."
Taichi looked at the door. Sora sat in the back, so she had easy access to the door, and that means she's hiding from him right now. He always wanted her seat. She was a better student than he was; it was just so ironic where they were seated. But now he wanted that seat more badly than before. But of course, it wasn't as bad as his longing for Sora. "I'll serve it now."
It was silence between Taichi and his teacher. Taichi ignored his teacher and used the time given to him to think.
A sudden thought made him gasp lightly. Him and Yamato may be best friends, but at the same time, they were rivals. He could tell that Yamato like Sora, too. But he doesn't deserve her. Taichi and Sora have been friends much longer that Yamato and Sora have. As a child, Taichi believed that Sora would only be his best friends, unable to accept his true feelings for her.
But as they grew together, Taichi became more aware of an emotion called love. The more conversations Taichi and Sora had together, the more conversations would end. And the more conversations that had to end, the more he longed for Sora and to talk to her.
Then there was the Digimon and the Digiworld. Sora was his number one priority in the Digiworld until Kari came in. Maybe Sora had gotten jealous over that. But she wasn't that type of person. If she were, she wouldn't have taken care of Kari when she was sick and away from him. She may not have any younger brothers or sisters, but she understood why Taichi acted so protective of Kari. He had told her of that time when he took Kari out to play soccer even though she was very sick. She didn't yell and scream at him like his mom did. Instead, she comforted him and helped him let go of his guilt. The guilt never left him completely, but her help was enough for him.
And then there was Datamon. Taichi was the one who rescued Sora. And when Taichi left after that battle, Sora left Yamato and the rest of the group just to look for him. He was so happy in a way after he heard that.
Then the bell rang. Taichi looked for Yamato and Sora. And they came in laughing together. Just as he thought, Yamato would be flirting with Sora. He gave Yamato a look that said leave Sora alone, but Yamato didn't see it. He might have done it on purpose or not, but Taichi believed that it was on purpose.
The rest of the school day basically went the same way. Taichi seemed brain dead to the teacher and to his classmates, but he was only thinking deeply about what to do. Lunch was the same silence with his teacher until an idea came into his mind.
"Ida-sensei, may I please use the bathroom?" Taichi asked.
His teacher sighed. "Of course. Actually, you're free to go. You not talking or anything, and it's scaring me. You might need air or something. Besides, you were only late for a few minutes, so I guess it's only fair that I free you."
"Arigato gozaimasu!!" Taichi exclaimed. He was so happy, he thought of hugging his teacher but then cancelled the idea.
His teacher was of course surprised by his sudden outburst, but then just smiled. "Kids…"
"Konnichiwa Sora-chan, Yamato-kun!" Taichi greeted. He decided to forgive Yamato since he didn't want to lose a friendship.
"Hey, what's up? I thought you had detention." Yamato replied.
"Ida-sensei decided to let me go. He said something about me needing air and that it's only fair that he let me go." Taichi stated.
"Yes, you're brain definitely needs air." Sora replied. "What's wrong with you today?"
"You know why." Taichi replied.
"Doburimon?" Yamato asked.
Taichi sighed and shook his head. "That's not as important as something I want to hear."
Sora smiled. "Taichi is this how you always act when you don't know that you're forgiven?"
Taichi shrugged. "I don't know. I guess if that's what you think."
Yamato looked at the two not knowing what's going on. "What are you guys talking about?"
"We got into a stupid fight the other day…" Sora replied. "He wants to know if I've forgiven him or not, and I haven't answered, causing him to act the way he's acting today."
"Are you messing with my mind on purpose?" Taichi asked suspiciously.
Sora laughed. "I shouldn't have, I guess. I thought about it last night, and decided to torture you a little bit just for fun. I decided that after I decided that it was stupid to stay mad at you."
"That was mean…" Taichi said, pretending to cry. "But if we're friends again, I don't care!"
"Of course." Sora smiled warmly.
Taichi smiled back. "Sora, could you just try, though, not to do that again? Please?"
Sora laughed again. "I guess so. I don't want you acting like that anymore."
"Thanks Sora." Taichi said.
"For what?" She asked.
"For everything." He answered.
THE END
Of the chapter, of course. I told you that it's going to be a minimum of three short chapters, so the next chapter might be the last one. But if I think of other ideas over my vacation, then it won't. Please let me know what you think! Either review this fanfic, or email me at
"Stupid Sora made me late all I asked was a small question; how hard is it to answer yes or no? Wait did I just say Sora was stupid? Now I'm the stupid one. But yes she is too because now I have detention and I won't get to talk to her after school, no that was smart of her, too bad I'm so stupid…"
Heh… ^_^' Sorry if you had a hard time reading/understanding it.
Disclaimer: As much as I wish, Digimon isn't mine. If it was, I would make Tai and Sora together. But Taichi, Sora, Yamato, and Digimon belong to Bandai, Saban, Fox, and a lot of other big companies. I haven't written that many Digimon fics, so I forgot most of the companies' names, and the creator's name, too. Help…? Oh, and the plot is mine.
