Now that we know where Sora stands.... and what she is thinking, Tai starts to come up with a way to show that the relationship can go to sex. How, you ask? You soon will see!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey babe. What's going on with you?" said Tai as he sauntered over to Sora's locker. She greeted him with a kiss. "Nothing much, cleaning out the locker..." she said with a sigh. Tai peered in, and grabbed a banana peel. "Funny... usually you through these out," he said with a snicker. She mocked a laugh. "Har Har Har..." she said, grabbing it from Tai, and throwing it in the garbage. Tai hugged her, putting his arms around her shoulders, from behind. "So, what do you think you'll be doing after this?" She turned around and smiled. "Well... I was thinking that I would hang out with my boy friend, if that's alright with you?" Tai grabbed a note-book out of his pocket. "Well... let me check my schedule...... hmmm.... today?? REALLY?? I suppose I can put off my interview with the queen of England... she's just going to have to wait!" He bent down and gave her a kiss. "You know I wouldn't miss it for the world...." he said. Then, she whipsered in his ear. "If we were alone, I'd show how much I don't want to miss it..." Both had a coy smile on their face.... but then she turned his face over to the left. To Tai's dismay, he saw teachers roaming the hall-ways. Sora sighed, and went back to her locker. "You know how strict they are on the *ahem* "Ludeiness" she said, using her fingers for the quotes. Tai sighed in spite himself. "Hey, you can show me later. Besides, I have to go to math class.... see ya later Sora" He blew her a kiss, and she grabbed it. "I'll be sure to show you later Tai. You know where!" He waved his hand, while walking down the hall. "I'd sure like to show you just how much I love you.... but first, I have to show you we can...." was his last thought before walking into his Math class. "10 Minutes Late again Tai!" Tai sighed.... it was going to be a long class.

Tai had been sitting at THEIR bench for 10 minutes. IT had been their bench since the 1st day they were going out. This was the first place Tai and Sora had announced their love for each other in front of the gang. Sora had come up with the idea of how to tell them, and how to tell Matt that she was sorry. She had gotten them all to sit down, and her on the bench.

*Flashback*

Sora sat in the centre of the bench, while everyone else sat on the ground. "Alright," she said. "I have something to tell all of you. But, I'm gonna try and make it happy.... because 1 person here will not like this news. The rest better... or so help me... I will explode" Everyone laughed, but knew that they had to take her seriously. She closed her eyes and sighed. "Alright now people.... I have a game to play. This is called Truth Teller. What happens is that I call out a situation, and the person or person's who are in that predicament will stand up, and I will guess who it is" Everyone seemed to get it enough... but she started with an easy one. "Alright, let's see if we get it. Whoever has the crest of courage, please stand" She paused, while Tai and Davis got up. "Alright, I'm assuming Tai and Davis got up, yes?" Everyone cheered and joked. "That was an easy one though," laughed Davis. Sora kept going. "Would the longest going couple in our group please stand up!" Kari and Tk, arm in arm, shrugged and stood up. Davis didn't like that question, and soon said "OK OK, we know this one.... so do you. Next one!" Once again, this sparked laughter from everyone, as Kari and TK sat back down. "Alright, I'll cut to the point," she said slowly. "Would my soul mate please stand up!" Everyone looked over to Matt. Matt, with a smile, stood up. Sora sighed, and almost started to sob. "Matt..... I don't know how to say this... but please sit back down" Matt was flustered... and rightfully so. To be dumped in front of everyone like that... it was a total shock to all. "SO.... YOU ARE DUMPING ME!?!? LIKE THIS?!?! Why?" Sora shushed him. "You will see in a minute. Calm down Matt." Matt sat back down, red and embarrassed. Sora started again. "Please, would my soul mate stand up!" Everyone looked around.... all but Tai.. that is. Tai looked at his angel, and started up. Everyone's mouths hung open, and Sora smiled. "Tai... come here and hug me!" She uncovered her eyes, and caught the incoming Tai with both arm's around his neck. He slowly sat down, blushing. Everyone's mouths were still open, but slowly some of them changed to smiles. Kari stood up and pointed to them. "So... you...." she pointed to Tai. "And you?" She pointed to Sora. They both blushed horribly, and nodded in unison. Kari and Yolei both screamed in utter delight. "Alright. Congrat's to you both." Everyone was up to congratulate the two love birds. Matt slowly got up, and walked over to Sora. Everyone got quiet as he approached. They all sighed when he gave Sora a hug, and said "I hope you two are really happy" As they all celebrated more, Sora whispered in Matt's ear. "Sorry Matt...." with sincerity. He mouthed "Don't Worry" and walked over to Tai. Tai was almost in tears already with telling everyone, and everyone being happy. Matt looked Tai right in the eyes. "Tai.... if you hurt her, I will get you!" he said, scowling. Tai smirked slightly, and responded. "See that you do Matt" He extended his hand. They both shook. "See that you do!" repeated Tai. With that... the celebration continued for all but Matt. Matt, in his silence and usual way, ducked out and left.

*End FlashBack*

"Am I going to have to top THAT to show how much I love her? I don't know if that's possible....." was the thought going through his mind. As his mid toiled in the idea's... it was interrupted. "Hey Tai! What's up?" Davis was rushing over, in his soccer uniform. Tai looked at him in wonderment. "Hey Davis...uhh... aren't you supposed to be at the game?" Davis, panting, stopped in front of him. "Tai..... *pant* I need a HUGE favour. I need you to coach us!" Tai told him to take a seat. "Why?" Davis sighed. "Well... our coach seems to have gotten in an accident. He's alright and all... but they took him up for X-Rays... and they want to call the game. But, we are in a REAL hotstreak... and we need all the wins we can get. Besides... they are the best team, and in our current state, we can WHOMP 'em. I said you could coach..... please Tai?" Davis was pleading to him. "I don't know Davis....I'm supposed to meet Sora here real soon" Davis looked at him with pleading eyes. "C'mon.. you can make it up to her..... WE REALLY NEED THIS!" "Oh man.... Sora isn't gonna like this. But....." Tai got up. "Alright Davis... I'll help ya out. It's the least I can do for a fellow soccer-player... and my former team" Davis shot an arm into the air. "YES! 1st place will be ours very soon... won't it Tai?" Tai gave him a high-5. "Sure will be. With me at the helm... it's gonna happen!" Davis and Tai ran off to the soccer field.

*shortly after*

"Hey Tai.. sorry I'm la...." Sora trailed off, seeing no Tai there. She started to worry at first, then fumed. "He isn't hurt... He just took off.... didn't he!!! Well... I know someone not having much fun tonight.... that's for sure!!!" she thought, fuming. With that, she stomped off.

*2 hours later*

"Hey Tai... thanks again for helpin me out. We totally NAILED them to the floor.... 5-2 man" Tai was almost beaming. His league had been axed because they didn't have a qualified coach... so he hadn't had much soccer going on this year. So, he really enjoyed being in soccer again.. even if it was in a coaching situation. "It was my pleasure Davis. No worry's now. You ever need me to coach, give a holler" Davis gave him a high-5. Tai smiled, and sighed. "I don't even remember why I hesitated at all. You remember Davis?" Davis stopped, and stared into the sky. "Can't remember for the life of me..." he trailed off. Tai began to worry. He knew that he had upset someone by taking off... but who? Tai and Davis both though of it as they walked home.

They casually strolled along, not really wondering too hard about Tai's question. He was sure it'd be alright. Just apologize and that'd be it. Then.... it struck him as he walked by Sora's place.... and in the window, was a pacing Sora. "Ohh shit......" he said, hitting himself in the head. Davis was a bit surprised. "What's up Tai?" Tai pointed over to the window. Davis' eyes widened. "Ohh shit is right Tai..... I forgot about that. She looks pissed" Tai was already on his way over. "Davis, I'll see ya later. I gotta patch things up first" Davis waved, and took off. Tai shoved his hands in his pockets and prepared for the worst. "How could I forget that? That was dumb. I guess I don't regret taking off... but it may cause tension..." his thoughts trailed off as he rang the door-bell.

The door opened slowly, but the figure of Sora filled Tai's eye-sight rather quickly. He prepared to cover his vitals.... expecting a punch somewhere. Instead, the door got flung open, and Sora threw her arms' around him. As she squeezed... Tai was bewildered. He put his arms around her, and let out a small "Hello" to Sora. Sora, almost in tears, said "Thank God nothing happened to you!" They both walked in the house, and closed the door. Sora let go of Tai, and brushed a few tears off her face, and then smacked Tai right in the shoulder. Tai let out an "oof", and took a small step back. He rubbed his shoulder. "Where the hell were you Tai? I thought something happened to you. You didn't give me any info..... you could have been hit by a car, for all I knew... you....... you......." she trailed off, and hugged him again. Tai already had his arms waiting, so he caught her, and whispered softly. "It's alright Sora. I'm fine. Everything is great. I'm sorry....." She still hugged him, and wouldn't let go. She had finally been confronted with something that only Tai had knowledge of. What it was like, to think you've lost the one... the only one, your entire life. And, it scared her. She was trembling as the couple of hours went by, thinking more and more about how Tai could have been hurt, or worse. She paced, cried.... nothing helped. When she heard the door-bell, she almost fainted in relief. She was so relieved, that she couldn't say anything.... and still hadn't. Tai whispered softly again. "Sora... you don't need to tell me. I already know what's on your mind. I promised to never hurt you... but I did... and I'm sorry" She bent his face over and said "Just shut up and kiss me" and then, she kissed him.

They sat down on the couch, and snuggled. "By the way Tai," she said, as she ran her hands down his stomach. "Where did you go?" Tai's hands were tracing down her leg, and he smiled and laughed. "Well, I went to coach Davis' soccer team" Sora sighed, and ran her fingers through his hair. "I should have guessed. The only other passion besides me in your life is soccer. I just thought I was more important than that," she said, a coy smile on her face. Tai looked at her with a sort of concern in his eyes. "You are the most important thing to me now," he said, as he caressed her face with his hand. She grabbed his hand, and held it in her own. Tai sighed, and continued. "Just, the temptation was just too much. I mean... to coach in a pivotal game for my former team.. and to help out a friend... which is also very important to me, was too much even for me. Besides...." he trailed off, not seeming like he wanted to continue. Sora rolled her eyes, and finished the sentence. "I know... I was late. If I had been there when I said so, none of this would have happened" Tai used his free hand, and gently brushed her hair to the side, so he could look into her gorgeous eyes. "You don't have to make excuses for me Sora..... I dropped the ball. I really am sorry... and I'll make it up to you" Sora seemed somewhat intrigued, as her eyes focused on his. "And how are you going to make it up to me?" Her leg's intertwined with his, and she brought her hands to his face. "Well...." began Tai. "I was thinking of kissing you... and then maybe a few more times today.... and tonight, and then you'd get to see the real show in a week." She brought his face close, until there lips were almost touching. "Tai, I like the first two, but what happens in a week?" Tai gave her a tender kiss, and laughed. "You don't know why next week is important?" said Tai, in a hurtful tone. Sora responded with a slight giggle, and a sigh. "Of course I know what's going on. It's out 6 month anniversary. But, what do you have planned?" Tai laughed, and said simply, "It's a secret" Sora giggled again. "I see that as a challenge. Let's see... if I" she kissed him. "Can't get that nasty little," she kissed him again. "Secret out of you" She finished it off with a kiss that would have light the couch aflame. Tai, out of breathe, smiled. "While that was the best kiss ever... I will promise you. I will give you something better next week" Sora decided to give up, and instead, decided to have fun with their little make-out session, rather than worry what Tai has up his sleeve.
