Well.... we now know what Tai is thinking.... but at this same time, Sora must be having a few thoughts of her own.... yes? Let's use a fancy star-wipe to Sora!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora slowly shuffled her feet as she continued on her way home. As she passed by the street lights, and the space around her darkened and lite up again, her mind was doing the same. "Why did Tai have to bring that up? We were having such a great time.... and now, we have to do this?? Arghhh... I hate you Tai!" Immediately, she stopped..... covered by the light of the street-lamp to her left. "Woah girl... settle down. You don't hate him, you love him to death! That's why this is so hard" Her feet started to dance and sway, thinking of Tai. That wonderful body, the chocolate brown eyes, as sweet as chocolate... and the overall fact that he was the one. Destiny shinned brightest on them.... and she didn't want to ruin that. As her swaying turned into dancing, she all of a sudden smacked into someone. Before she could see who it was, she heard the thud of someone hitting the ground. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking!" said a worried Sora. Slowly, the figure got up, and moved into the light. "That's OK... I really wasn't paying much att..... Sora?" The figure's face into view. Sora recoiled slightly in surprise. "Yolei... what are you doing out so late?"
Yolei and Sora sat down on the curb, protected from the night by the light which came from the street-lamp. "Yolei, you still didn't answer my question. Why are you out here so late? I thought your parents wanted you back by 11...." Sora trailed off, and looked at Yolei. She seemed concerned... almost frightened. Sora pressed on. "Look, are you doing drugs Yolei?" Yolei's face sprang up. "NO NO, it's not anything like that! I just don't want to talk about it...." Sora put her head on her knees. "Look Yolei... I'd hate to have to tell your parents about this... because you know they are going to ask us if we saw you. So... just tell me what you were doing..." Yolei put her head in her folded arms... knowing she was right. "Alright... but you have to promise me you won't tell anyone..... not ANYONE.. not even Tai.. got it?" Sora nodded slowly, in silent agreement. With a rather audible sigh... Yolei began. "Well.... since you MUST know... I was at Ken's." Sora seemed confused.... and rightfully so. "Well... what were you doing at Ken's?" Yolei looked at her, eye-brow cocked. "Well... what were you and Tai doing at your place?" Sora started to think.... and her eyes leaped... and she blushed slightly. "Ohhh..... I see." said the embarrassed Sora. Yolei, now a huge shade of red, kept going. "Look... the reason you can't say anything is because we don't want anyone to know. We are still a little apprehencious..... we still think a few of them are having a tough time accepting Ken..... so until they fully trust us... we won't reveal anything. So... can I trust you Sora?" Sora looked at the ground for a moment, and then into Yolei's eyes. She saw just how hard that was, just for Yolei to say. She sighed, and nodded her head. Yolei gave Sora a small hug, and hurried on her way. "Thanks Sora!" Sora waved and started back on her way home.
Sora walked into the dimly-light living room, and shrugged off her jacket. She began to think about Yolei. "How hard must it be to love someone, yet you can't just come out and say it?" She laughed... and sighed, all in one breath. "I suppose Tai and I both know about that. We loved each other more than life itself... but couldn't say anything, because we were afraid. Was our situation any different?" As Sora continued to think, her mom walked in. "Well.. now that Tai is gone, I'd like to ask you a few things" Sora rolled her eyes, and sat up, letting her mom sit where her feet were. Her mom sighed, and started. "Now... I see you and Tai like that alot. I just want to know.... have you....well....this is a little embarrassing" Sora laughed. "Are you trying to ask if we've had sex?" Her mom blushed, and nodded slightly. Sora grabbed her mom's hand. "You don't have to worry. We've talked about it, but we haven't done anything yet" "Thank God...." thought her mom. The mother looked into her daughters eyes, and gave her a hug. Sora smiled, and said, "Mom.... you don't need to worry about me and Tai. He won't hurt me.... he will never hurt me ever again" This was enough to make her mom cry. Her mom knew all to well what Tai had put Sora through a couple years ago. She knew that Sora and Tai were meant for each other... and it made her hurt every day, to see her daughter come home with tear stains on her face. What her daughter said made her feel like singing on the loudest mountain in the world. They finished their hug, and with that, she got up. "Well... I'm going to bed. And Sora?" Sora looked up at her mom. "I just want you to know... I never doubted you two for a second" With a large smile, she retired to her room.
Sora was beginning to get tired. She had a tough, emotional day. As she hopped out of the shower, and put on her nightgown, she thought how nice it would be to model it off to Tai. "He'd love it, of course. He says I'm beautiful in anything I wear, but I would knock his socks off with this." She slowly waltzed to her bed, as if she was dancing for Tai. "Oh Tai," she said mockingly. "Tai, do you like this?" She ran over to the other side of the bed-room, and in a manly voice, said "Sora.... you look gorgeous! That outfit makes me wonder just how sexy you can look" Sora laughed, and flopped onto her bed. She laughed at the little skit she played out. Before falling asleep, she thought this. "Soon Tai, you can see me in this, and perhaps much less. But... not now. I don't know what will happen if it's now. Please wait for me Tai. I don't want either of us to be hurt by this" A small smile followed, and with visions of Tai in her head, she feel asleep within 5 minutes.
