Title: Rain on Saturday: Pig-headedness
Sora wanted to scream and cry at the same time. *How ignorant can he be?*
Yamato, Taichi, and Sora were hanging out at the mall. It was Saturday, and they had grouped together to watch flicks, and check out the shops and people. The 'boys', as she referred to them, even though they were both eighteen, were in the middle of one of their 'discussions'.
They had only attracted half the mall's patrons with their volume. She had noticed, even if they were too wound up in each other to. *Hormonal frustration.* She was not in a good mood.
For three hours, she'd been hinting around the both of them, trying to get the truth through their thick skulls. People could say all they wanted about Tai's mental block when it came to sublety and hints, but Matt was as bad, if not worse. They both kept regarding her oddly, especially when she pulled away from Yama when he tried kissing her.
*That was a mistake.* Two hours later, the blonde was still gazing at her like a dejected puppy, and Tai was looking at her in accusation for causing his friend pain, even if he only teased her about it. *I'm not kissing him when he's so obviouly in denial. I am not a cover, and I'm not going to try to be.*
Oh, yes, that hurt. To know that he had chosen her because she was safe, and they were all friends. To admit that she was second choice to a young man he wasn't even aware that he loved. She couldn't complain though, because she had seen the pain flash through brown eyes when Yama had leaned toward her in expectancy. She hadn't been able to follow through.
Her thoughts were put on hold as a familiar pink-haired girl ran out of the movie theater with a ticked-off basketball player hot on her heels.
"Meems! Get back here! I paid for two movie tickets, dammit! You owe me!" The girl in question caught sight of her friends, and made a beeline toward them, ducking behind Matt and Tai, and running straight to Sora's arms.
"Oh, god, Sora. He tried touching me, and his hands were everywhere!" Her voice was a shocked whipser. The outrage and shame caused tears that she was barely able to tamp down. The female brunette, standing with her arms around her friend, felt her anger rise.
"Matt?" The blonde looked at her, and took a step toward them. Tai was already squaring off in preparation for battle. Nobody messed with a digi-destined without retribution. "Hold on to her for a second, please?"
He nodded, and enfolded a now crying Mimi into his arms. His blue eyes were ice as he watched Chris and Tai face each other. They were both brown-haired and eyes, but their builds were different.
Tai was broad, and well built. He would never be considered thin, nor stocky. His body was well-drooled over, and muscular. Not that Sora had ever really considered him that way, but she knew how girls talked.
Tagami, on the other hand, was tall and lanky. He had muscle, but was mostly known for his height, speed, and skill, both on the court and off.
She didn't doubt that Tai would have his hands full in that fight, but she didn't really care. They would never have a chance to find out. Indignation for the treatment of her friend, and all the girls that he had ever dated, mixed with anger at his assumption that Mimi, her Mimi, would ever be willing to go that far in one date, froze the rational thought in her brain.
Sora was not a fighter. Sure, she had stood up to evil Digimon, just like they all had, and she had faced down many scary things. However, in that time, she'd never had to fight physically with another human being herself. She wasn't strong, she wasn't skilled. But she was pissed, and PMS-ing. And he'd fucked with Mimi.
Five-foot, four inches of petite brunette hurtled itself pass Tai, and knocked into the six-and-a-half-foot hoop-star with enough force to send him crashing to the ground with her on top. In his surprise, she managed to lay two good punches on him before being dragged off by Tai and Matt.
They were laughing so hard that it was all they could do to hold her back as Chris stood up, and backed away. Brown eyes regarded her fearfully before he made a point of straightening up, and walking away with as much dignity as any could muster after being knocked to the ground by a girl a foot shorter than him.
Her boyfriend and best friend let her go and held up their hands in surrender when she glared at them. Mimi, who had stopped crying after being passed off to the blonde, looked at her in amazement. Sora met that questioning russet gaze, and stopped. With shock and surprise, she recalled the thoughts that had flashed through her mind before she attacked Tagami.
*Her* Mimi? She looked at Tai, then at Matt, and finally back to Mimi. A slow smile spread over her face as she gazed into those orbs that were a mixture of gold-brown, and red wine.
The guilt and the anger at being used, and never realizing it washed away. Matt wasn't the only one that had used their relationship as a cover without realizing, she had, also. *To hide what I never realized, what I couldn't admit.*
That she was in love with another female, one of her friends. No wonder she hadn't really minded too much to find out that her boyfriend was in love with another male. She had done the same thing to him, without ever realizing it.
With sudden insight and understanding, she grinned at them, laughing at the newfound wonder of it all. The world was starting to become a very beautful place. *I'm going to have to start paying more attention to what's going on around me.*

End note: Yes, this will have all the pairings from Weekend Rain, as well as a few others. As a rather obvious warning, the only straight couples or Hikori/Ikari?, and Kenyako/Kenlei. HE WILL BE SEME!
