All right this is my first fanfiction that I've posted on the web, so don't be too harsh if it's crap.

This is a taiora because taiora just rules! Anyway enough from my small talk and let's get on with the story. This first takes place when the original digidestined are fourteen, series two never happens in this one. Oh and by the way I don't own Digimon blah blah blah whatever.

All that you can't leave behind

He tried to hold back the tears stinging in the back of his eyes as he watched her cry into Mimi's shoulder. More pearly tears fell from the mousy haired girls eyes onto her already tear stained face, her mascara had long ago became two black smudges across her cheeks.

" This is soooo unfair," Mimi sobbed as she hugged Sora tightly, " You can't go. You have to stay here, nothing will be the same without you,"

The red headed girl didn't respond, she didn't trust her self to speak anymore. She had cried for so long now that if she opened her mouth she'd only start up again.

Mimi was right it wasn't fair that Sora was leaving. It was the most outrageous, most unfair thing that had ever happened to Tai. He'd been nice about it to her though, she was his best friend so he'd comforted her and told her everything was going to turn out all right like a best friend should. But from the moment she had run around to his house in tears and wailed to him the terrible news, something inside of him had died. As soon as she'd finally gone home after hours of tears and assuring words from him and Kari, he'd wanted nothing more than to just crawl under a rock and wallow in self pity. His world was falling apart. His best friend was leaving him and he'd never see her again. They'd never go out to the movies and throw popcorn at the bald people infront. Never hang out at the beach and soak each other with seawater. Never sit up in his room for age's listen to CDs while arguing over some stupid question, never play soccer at the park. His world was over. Of course he had other best friends, Matt, Izzy, Joe and Mimi they were all great but they weren't in the same league as Sora. Those two did everything together and now they'd be half a world apart. He couldn't believe it had already been three months since her dad had told her they were moving to England. For three months he'd tried to act as nothing was happening, tried to carry on as normal and savour the last few weeks they could spend just being themselves. And now it was over, it had gone far to quickly, now she was leaving.

Sora gave Mimi one last squeeze and then rapped her arms around Matt's neck.

" It's going to be really weird not having you around," he told her quietly.

" I'll miss you," She managed to croak out of her sore throat.

" You gotta promise your email and call and stuff okay," The blonde's voice quivered as he tried to hold back the tears. He wasn't let it show but Sora knew inside he was hearting nearly as much as she was, matt never let his emotions truly show. Sora wasn't just Tai's best friend she was everyone's best friend. Every single one of them loved her like a sister. She had always been there for all of them, a faithful shoulder to cry on in bad times and great person to laugh with in happy times.

Her short red hair bounced around her face as she nodded and pulled away from him.

" Come on Sora we haven't got all day," Her Dad reminded her behind the group of eight kids. Her Dad, stepmother, stepsister and brother were begging to get impatient for waiting around for the last 15 minutes.

" Just a moment," She called roughly.

And now it was his turn, he'd been dreading this for three months, he'd waited till last to keep the moment away for just a little longer. But now it had come.

She threw herself at him, he pulled her tightly towards him. He wasn't embarrassed of what the others would think, they knew how much this was hurting them both maybe more than he did. He still held the tears in even though hers were soaking into his dark blue Nike jacket. He had to brave for her until she'd gone. He had taken her for granted for so long, she was always around and now she would never be again. He hadn't even realised how much she meant to him until now, until it was to late.

He sighed and realised that he was shaking, he breathed in the sweet sent of her shiny hair as he tried to savour the very last moment.

" I'll miss you most Tai," She whispered so quietly that only he could hear.

" I'll miss-miss you too," He croaked, " Don't worry your going to be okay, everything will be fine. I'll see you soon, Okay?"

" No of course it's not okay Tai, this is the worst day of my life," Suddenly a huge rush of grieve and passion flooded out of her. She'd been trying to be brave too but she couldn't keep it up any longer.

" Sssssshhhhhhh," He soothed her and stroked her head, " I'll be right here when you need me,"

" Oh come on Sora get a move on," Her stepsister snapped.

She pulled away from him and turned away. He grabbed hold of her hand and gave it once last squeeze before she was pulled away from him forever.

" Bye guys," She took one last glance at her best friends before she joined her family and was pushed off to a new country, new school, new friends and new life. But she'd never forget her old life. These past few years would be remembered as the happiest of her life and she would never forget them. She'd never forget any of her friends, there'd been through so much together, she'd never ever forget.

" Bye Sora!" She heard T.Ks hopeful sweet voice calling above the bustle of the crowd.

" Bye guys," she muttered as more tears flooded out.

" Oh grow up Sora you'll make new friends. We had to leave ours behind too you know, but you don't see us crying about it," Her little stepsister Anne groaned next to her as they walked through the security gates.

She wouldn't understand no one would ever understand.

Tai watched her mingle into the crowd until it swept her away. He felt numb with pain, not physical pain the pain of his heart breaking into a thousand pieces. Now it was over, now she was gone and he'd never get her back.

" It's okay Tai," Kari's innocent voice assured him, " She'll come home soon,"



* Four years later *

Tai sighed and started tapping a tune with his biro on his desk. Mr Oxley mumbled on with his boring drone of a voice about the latest school announcements. Like anyone actually cared about the latest winners of the chess teams away match or what was for lunch, it would only be labelled uneatable and thrown away or chucked across the cafeteria. His best friend Matt started tapping out a bass version of Tai's tune on his own desk. Registration had to be the most boring part of school. Listening to Mr Oxley talk about nothing for an hour, Tai would rather be giving his grandma a sponge bath.

" Mr Kamiya seeing as though you're so interested in the announcements I'll volunteer you shall I," Mr Oxley stated more than asking,

" Huh?" Tai suddenly dropped his pen as he heard his name mention.

" Well because you're so eager I'll take that as a yes,"

" What have I got to do?" He asked confused.

" If you'd been listening you would know," Mr Oxley said in a mockingly nice tone.

" You have to show a new student around," Mimi informed him from the other side of the classroom.

" Aww man do I have to?" he cried, having some new kid tag around after him all day had to be the most annoying job on the planet.

" I'm afraid so Mr Kamiya. They should be along any minute now,"

He lent over Matt's desk and whispered to the blonde.

" If you show this kid around I'll do your shift at work on Friday night so you can go out with larrisa King," Matt looked thoughtfully up at the ceiling.

" No way,"

" Oh come on Matt, larrisa king," Tai said in a playful tune,

" Well . . . Maybe . . .if it's a hot girl. But if it's a total freak you can do it,"

" Matt please,"

" Naha you should of been listening Kamiya," matt said sternly. Tai groaned and slumped his head on the desk.

The glass class room door opened.

" Is this E7?" A familiar voice asked.

Tais head snapped up off his desk. Standing in the door way was a tall slim girl, her red hair fell loosely down her back like an auburn waterfall, it shimmered in the autumn sun with different shades of red like the leaves outside. Her eyes were the most unusual amber colour Tai had ever seen, they sparkled as a huge beautiful grin spread across her soft kind face. An aurora of Energy and life seemed to pour out of her and fill the room with its beauty.

No way it couldn't be her, no way.

An excited squeak from Mimi on the other side of the room suddenly woke him out of his trance and told him that it was.

" What the hell?" Matt muttered amazed next to him.

She'd come back.

" Ah Miss Tackinoche please come in. This is our newest student Sora Tackinoche," he introduced her to the lifeless class.

Tai suddenly realised his jaw had dropped as he'd set eyes on her. That gorgeous smile was aimed at him, her amber eyes were staring right at him. He snapped his mouth closed and grinned back.

" Oh sir sir," Mimi pleaded him, her hand was stretched as far as she could reach above her head and she was almost falling off the over side of the desk trying to get his attention, " oh sir please let me be the mentor. Tai doesn't want to do it but I do. I'll be way better than him pleeaaaasssssssssssseeeeee!"

" Hey I never said I didn't want to do it!" Tai cried,

" Yes you did you gave it to me. I'm showing her around!" Matt declared,

" No way, I'm showing her around!" Mimi yelled across the room,

Sora laughed as she saw how eager her old friends were to have her back, it had definitely been worth it to keep this a secret from them.

Tai's heart skipped a beat as he heard that sweet musical laugh again. Wow had her laugh always affected him like that? He asked himself.

" Alright calm down, Amy why don't you show Sora around to today to settle this argument," Mr Oxley suggested to a blonde girl in the front row.

" Yeah sure," She beamed that annoying air headed smile that Tai hated so much.

" Aww man!" Matt cried.

" That's not fair you said I could show her around!" Tai exclaimed,

" Would you take the spare seat next to Amy please Sora," Mr Oxley told her ignoring the whimpering sounds from Mimi.

" He only did that to wind me up," Tai muttered.

Ten minutes later the bell rang signalling them to hurry up and move to their next lesson. The class swarmed out into the corridor, Tai tried to run over to Sora but Amy was already dragging her off to Maths.

" Hey Sora wait up! I've got to talk to you!" he yelled to her.

" Meet me with the others at the school gate at three!" She called to him as she disappeared into the crowd.

He turned around to Mimi and Matt.

" I'll call Joe and Kari on my cell phone. Matt you get hold of T.K and Mimi you find Izzy. We'll all meet at the old playground at half three okay?" He commanded as he soared into leader mode.

" Yeah got it. See you guys at three," Mimi waved as she ran off to English.

" Gota go Tai Seya later," Matt called as he too disappeared into the sea of teenagers.

Finally the home time bell rang through the corridors. Tai didn't wait for Ms Elms to finish jabbering on about the French revolution, he grabbed his bag and ran out of the door before anyone else. All day he'd been counted down the seconds till he'd see her again. He'd looked for her in the cafeteria and all his lessons but she hadn't turned up. The Last ten minutes of class seemed the longest of his life, but finally he was running down the school steps and towards the gate. He grinned as he saw matt and Sora already there. Matt had just flung himself at her and knocked her backwards into a bush. He pulled her out and started punching her arm just like he did to Tai when he got over excited.

Suddenly Mimi came flying out of nowhere and wrapped Sora into a big bear hug.

" What are you doing here!" She squealed, " Why didn't you tell me you were coming back!"

Sora just laughed and hugged Mimi back.

" I missed you too!" She laughed.

Tai was only a few feet away but they were too wrapped up in Sora to notice him yet. All day long he'd wanted nothing more than to speak to her and be near her, but suddenly something else had taken over his body. His throat felt dry and parched like he couldn't talk. Butterflies flew around his stomach making him feel sick and nervous. His smile vanished as he realised he was too nervous to even move another step.

" Tai!" Sora cried realising he was standing so close to them. She let go of Mimi and ran over to him.

He laughed at himself, Sora was his best friend why the hell would he be nervous of talking to her. She hugged him quickly and let go.

" Hey! " He cried, " Just what do you think your doing here Tackinoche?"

She grinned up at him.

" Well wouldn't you guys like to know," She teased.

" Yeah we would so tell us already!" Matt exclaimed.

" All will be revealed as soon as we're all together again," She smiled.

" Great that's half an hour," matt said looking at his watch.

" Half an hour?"

" Yeah we've already arranged for everyone to meet at the park at half three so we can show you off," Mimi explained.

" I should of known you would," Sora laughed happy to finally be back with her friends.

" Come on we have got so much to talk about," Mimi crabbed her arm and dragged her off in the direction of the old jungle gym in the city park.

" So why do you reckon the others wanted us to meet them here?" Kari asked as she swung on the metal swing.

" Beats me, matt said he'd got a surprise," T.k told her as he hung upside down by his knees from the monkey bars, his head hat fell onto the dusty floor. Joe dusted it off and handed it back to him.

" But the last time he said that he squirted cream in my hair," T.k said thoughtfully.

" It has to be important for all of us to meet here," Izzy told them.

" Tai probably wants to tell us all he pulled the worlds greatest prank today or something," Kari groaned.

" No Mimi was rather excited on the phone. She was talking so high that I think only dogs could understand her, it took a while for me to get her to calm down,"

" Hey guys!" Matt called from the little path that led to the play area. Three people stood next him Mimi waving frantically and jumping up and down, Tai grinning widely and. . .

" No way..."

" It can't be!"

" Sora!" Kari screamed, she jumped off the swing in mid flight and ran towards her child hood idol.

" Oh my god Kari look at you!" Sora cried as she hugged her not so little friend back, " you're so grown up when the hell did that happen,"

" What are you doing here?" She asked happily.

" Oh my god T.K!" Sora exclaimed as he fell of the monkey bars, " You're so tall! You're a spitting image of matt! Oh my god I sound like my grandma," She cried as she slapped a hand to her mouth.

" Hi Sora!" Izzy greeted her as he hugged her lightly.

" It's so good to see you again!" Joe laughed as he hugged her again.

" Okay so are you going to tell just what on earth you think your doing here now?" Matt asked eagerly.

" I guess I'm going to have to aren't I?" She smiled.

" Yeah and you better hurry up because I'm dying to know," Mimi squealed.

" Alright," She sighed, " Well I guess you all know that I hated living out there don't you?"

" Yeah yeah we know," Matt said quickly trying to hurry her up.

" Well I decided that I couldn't stand it anymore so I spoke to my Auntie Sue and she told me that if it was okay with my dad I could come and do my senior year out here and live with her and my little cousin Dan. Of course my dad didn't care what I did so I transferred over here!"

" And why didn't you tell any of us you were coming?" Mimi asked,

" I thought it would be a nice surprise,"

" Well it definitely was a surprise," Tai laughed.

" And a nice one?" She asked expectedly.

" Of course," he pretended to be offended, " Would it be anything else?"

They all sat at the park until, unnoticed to them all the sun had set.

Tai sat on the second bar of the climbing far and watched Sora while she told them all about her old school. He'd waited four years to be able to talk to her like this again. When she moved away they would call each other once a week and try to cram in everything that had happened to each other in ten minutes, calling half way around the world can be pretty expensive. But as time went on they had gradually called each less and less till it was once every couple of months. He only now knew how much he'd missed her, but he still felt a little uneasy around her. No one else seemed to notice it, but he couldn't act like he used to at first. After a while of listening to her and his other friends swap stories and memories he began to relax.

Maybe it was because she had changed so much that made him uneasy. From first sight she seemed to be a totally different person. When she left she had been a rough tomboy, she'd just been one of the guys, she was the same height and build as Tai. Now he she had to look up to talk to him, that unnerved him at first, she seemed far more delicate than she used to as well. She'd always been a skinny girl but now she seemed more slim than skinny. Her faithful hat was gone and she had opted for some tight black trousers and a snug gold turtle neck jumper instead of her old jeans and shirt that he was so used to seeing her wear.

Maybe it was the fact that she was so more grown up than he had thought she'd be. It was a stupid idea but he'd always pictured her as the same little tomboy on the phone. Now she was grownup, more grownup than he was.

After awhile of talking and laughing with her and the others he realised that this new beautiful girl was still his Sora. She still made the same jokes was still as intelligent and kind as ever. Still the same girl underneath and he began to relax and realise she was probably as scared of all of them now than he was of her. None of them were still the same stupid kids she'd left behind.

" Wwwwwwwwwooooooooooooo! Go Tai!" Sora screamed at the sidelines as he hit another soccer ball past the goalie into the net.

" Looks like you brought your own cheering section Kamiya," Wayne laughed as he picked up the soccer ball.

" Well what do you expect I am the captain of this team," Tai told him in a fake big headed voice, he checked his watch, " Okay guys good practice be here at half three tomorrow, Seya guys later,"

" Yeah bye Tai," The other players called as they headed off the field to the showers. He jogged across the pitch to where Sora stood trying to keep warm in a long cream coat and jeans.

" You don't have to stand out here freezing your toes off you know," he told her.

" Oh so are you saying you don't want me to watch you practice then?" She teased him.

" No I just don't want you to keel over with ammonia or something,"

" It's not that cold Tai," She giggled.

He picked up his duffel bag with his normal clothes in and walked with her across the field.

" Are you going to get a shower?" She asked.

" No I'll get one at home,"

She rubbed her hands together and breathed on them to keep warm.

" I really wish I'd warn gloves today," She commented as they walked down the deserted street. She kicked up a pile golden leaves and watched them fly into the road.

It had been three weeks since Sora moved back to Obidia. After being a little shy at first they had both carried on like she had never left. Tai was surprised by how much they still had in common. The liked the same music, she still loved soccer although she didn't play it that much, they liked the same movies still and they still got on like a house on fire.

" Look at that sunset," She whispered. It was a perfect autumn evening. The sun was just staring to disappear in the distance, the whole sky was a pinkie, orange like a bonfire it's self.

" Yeah beautiful . . ." He whispered smiling at her. She stared at the dusk infront of her not noticing he was even looking at her. Tai watched as a stand of auburn hair brushed against her soft warm cheeks, her lively amber eyes were distant as she wandered along in thought. Her sweet red lips were curled into a slight smile, she was totally at peace with herself and everything around her.

He snapped his head away from her and concentrated on where he was walking as he realised he'd been staring at her.

" Do you want to come back to my house and get something to drink. I promise you won't have to eat any of my Mums cooking?"

" Yeah great," She laughed.

They climbed the steps to his family's apartment.

" One good thing about England is where I lived they didn't have all the steps," She told him as they reached his floor.

"Your just out of shape Sora," he said as he turned the key in his door.

" Tai is that you?" His Mother called inside,

" Yeah,"

She popped her head around the living room door and a huge smile spread across her face when she saw Sora with him.

" Oh hello Sora, how are you getting along now?" She asked kindly.

" Great thank you Mrs Kamiya. I've settled back in really quickly,"

" Oh that's good. So what's it like living with your aunt now? "

" Mum Were just going to go and listen to some c.d.'s in my room okay," he quickly pushed Sora off into his room before his Mother could steal her.

" Hey I was talking to your Mum," Sora scolded him.

" Yeah and I know that once you two start talking it's incredibly hard for you to stop. Some times I think she likes you more than she likes me,"

" Well I like talking to your Mum,"

She grabbed a pile of his c.d.'s from his desk and laid across his bed while flicking through them. He swung his legs around his desk chair and sat in it backwards watching her read the back of a C.D case.

" Put this one on," she told him as she threw it over to him. He placed it in his stereo and the rock music started blasting out.

" So you going to that dance thinging?" She asked him

" You mean the autumn ball?"

" Yeah that's it,"

" I don't know. Kayle Savage asked me but I told her I didn't know if I was going yet. Are you going?" He asked eagerly,

" A couple of guys asked me but I don't know if I want to go with any of them yet,"

" Who asked you?" He suddenly demanded.

" Billy Dodd, Michael Griffit, James Rash, Ben Spears, Steven Lloyd and oh what's his name the goal keeper on your football team,"

" All of those Boys asked you!" He cried a little shocked, a nagging feeling in his stomach started as she counted off their names on her fingers.

" Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to go though. Mimi wants me to go with Ben Spears though, she reckons he's the hottest guy in school," She laughed.

Tai didn't feel like laughing he had a sinking feeling all over his body. Everyone knew that the girls in their school would do anything for Ben Spears, Matt hated him because the girls were always comparing Matt and Ben to each other.

" Why did he ask you?" he demanded a bit to harshly.

" Well I don't know do I. I guess it's because I'm just so hot," She joked and started laughing.

' Yeah because you are so hot ' Tai thought to himself as he watched her kick her legs in the air while looking at some more of his c.d.'s. He gasped as he realised what he'd just thought. Sora wasn't hot, not at all she was his best friend and she never been hot. Never! Where the hell had that just come from?

" What's wrong?" She asked as she heard him gasp.

" Umm . . . I just realised that I've got to hand in an English essay tomorrow and I haven't even started it yet," He lied.

" Oh . . .I guess I better go then,"

" Yeah yeah you better go," He agreed with her.

" Bye Tai, see you tomorrow," She got off his bed and walked out of the apartment.

" Bye," he called after her.

As soon as he'd heard the door click shut he flopped backwards onto his bed.

What had he been thinking? This was Sora he was talking about. All right she may be pretty and she did have that gorgeous hair that just made him want to run his fingers through it. And she had those beautiful eyes that actually sparked with life and energy. Like her personality did and everytime she came near him he could feel her warmth and sweet scent sweep over him. And she had a great body, womanly curves and a full bust covered in soft subtle delicate skin.

He grabbed his pillow and shoved it over his head. What was he thinking? Why every time he thought about her did he this happen? Why every time she looked at him did he get that tingling feeling in his chest? He had to talk to someone about it.

He picked up the phone on his bedside table and dialled in the familiar number.

" Well it's pretty obvious Tai, " Matt sighed after he'd listen to his friend talk about how wonderful Sora was for the last quarter hour, " You've got the hots for her,"

" What! Shut up Matt I don't!" He yelled down the receiver.

" No of course you don't Tai and I'm a short fat bald man named Fred,"

" Matt this isn't funny. I don't like Sora like that,"

" But you think she's pretty?"

" Well . . .yeah,"

" And she's funny?"

" Yeah,"

" And she's hot?"

" Yeah,"

" Well there you go Kamiya. You're attracted to Sora,"

" But . . .No. . .I can't be . . . she's Sora," he stuttered in disbelief.

" It's nothing to be ashamed of Tai. She's a really hot girl, loads of guys think so and you know her really well so you'll have a better chance than the other guys,"

" But she's my best friend Matt,"

" So! Ask her out before someone else does,"

" But . . .I can't what if she says no. Everything would be ruined between us. I'd never be able to speak to her again if she knew I liked her,"

" Oh so you do like her now,"

" Oh I don't know! I'm so confused. This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't even be having this conversation with you!" He groaned,

" No you're right I was meant to be at band practice ten minutes ago. I'll Seya tomorrow Tai," With that the Phone clicked and the dial tone hummed in his ear.

No this shouldn't be happening.

Tai laid in bed watching his television. He'd been feeling like hell warmed up at all week. Today he'd reach the height of his flu and had stayed home from school. It had been one month since his telephone conversation with Matt. Tai trusted matt completely, although he was a joker he knew matt would never betray him by letting his secret slip. He'd gone to the autumn ball with Kayle Savage and had an incredibly boring time. The only thing Kayle liked to talk about was herself, which was even more boring. He'd spent all night pretending to listen to Kayle while watching Sora having fun with Ben. She looked even more beautiful than usual. She'd curled her auburn hair into ringlets that framed her face perfectly. She had worn a long light blue dress that was tight around her body and flowed out as it reached her legs. She'd spoken to him briefly before Ben had come and torn her away from him. All night he'd wished he could be that guy she was dancing with. Or one of those guys that flirted with her while Ben wasn't around. But he'd never be able to talk to her like that, never be able to hold her like that in a slow dance. He'd always love her from a far.

Love yes that's what it had become. Every day he thought about her constantly. How beautiful she looked that day, he'd repeat conversations they'd just had over and over in his mind. He couldn't concentrate on anything but her anymore. He would sneak quick glances at her when no one was watching and memorises every little detail about her. The worst thing was she wasn't just a beautiful girl she had a brilliant personality as well. She could make him laugh at anything, she was kind and sweet and funny and smart and independent and gorgeous and a thousand over things. But still he couldn't tell her how much he loved her.

There was a knock at his bedroom door, Kari must be home from school.

" Come in,"

" Hi Tai, I came to see if you were feeling any better," Sora opened his bedroom door and stepped inside, " I would of brought you some chicken soup but I know that you don't like it,"

He smiled at her, when they were kids she would always sleep over his house, but now he felt incredibly embarrassed about being tucked up in bed in his boxer shorts.

" How are you feeling?" She asked kindly as she sat down on the bed next to him.

" I've thrown up twice today. How do you think I feel," She smiled at him, knowing his sarcastic humour.

" Don't worry I'll look after you," She whispered.

' If only you would' Tai thought to himself.

" What are you watching?" she asked pointing at the T.V screen,

" An old friends re-run. It's the one where Monica and Rachel trade apartments with Joey and Chandler," He informed her.

" Oh great I love this one!" She lifted up the duvet and slid down beside him.

" Sora!" he exclaimed and started blushing, " I might be naked under here!"

" And are you?" She teased him.

" No,"

" Well that's okay then," She laid her head softly on his bare chest and draped an arm around him, while staring at the T.V. Tai swallowed hard and bit his lip. How could she have no idea what torture this was for him? Her soft red hair fell over his side onto the blue sheets, she was so close to him but he still couldn't touch her. She was cuddling him like her favourite teddy bear and nothing more, was that all he was to her just something to play with? Was that what she was doing? Did she really know how much he needed her, how much he desperately wanted her and she was just playing a game with him? No of course not Sora would never do that to him. Although sometimes he did wonder.

He gently stroked her hair, trying to savour this moment. Then slowly his eyelids began to droop.

" Tai?" Mrs Kamiya called as she entered the apartment with an armful of grocery bags. She put her bags on the kitchen counter and picked up a note from Kari saying she was going over T.K's house.

" Tai?" she knocked lightly on his bedroom door and opened it slowly. She grinned as she saw the picture perfect sight in front of her. Her son had his arms wrapped around soar holding tightly to him. They had both obviously fallen asleep while watching the television. A sweet smile was spread across Tai's face as he protected the girl in his arms. Mrs Kamiya knew they were perfect for each other, but then teenagers will be stupid and ignore their feelings. They were meant to be together but neither off them realised it.

" Did you see n-sync on T.V last night?" Mimi asked Sora eagerly.

" Mimi you know I hate N-sync," Sora groaned.

" Oh but Justin looked soooooo cute. I could just eat him up," She squealed happily.

" Poor little Mimi. You've been brainwashed by those plastic boy bands," Sora sighed. She kicked a pile of fleshly fallen snow along the path.

" I have not been brained washed. Everyone loves N-sync apart from you," Mimi stated angrily.

" No they don- Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww!" Sora screamed as something freezing cold, wet and slushy was stuffed down the back of her jumper.

She just caught a glimpse of Tai running down the path as fast as he could away from her.

" That's it Kamiya your a dead Man!" She yelled.

" Run Tai! Run for your life!" Matt shouted as Sora started chasing him down the icy street.

" Isn't it sweet the way they flirt," Mimi laughed as she watched Sora run angrily a round a corner and out of sight.

" More like immature," matt told her.

" Nah it's more romantic than some of your corny lines," She teased.

" Come back her Tai!" Sora screamed as he ran into his apartment block. She was only a few steps behind him but she still couldn't reach him. She hurled herself up the flights off steps after him. He crashed through his front door and ran into his bedroom in hysterical laughter.

" What's going on?" Kari asked bewildered as her brother dashed into the apartment.

" I'm going to kill you!" Sora screeched as she ran after him with a handful of snow.

Kari ran to his bedroom door in time to see Sora rubbed all of the icy mush into his thick brown hair.

" Hey!" he yelled as he tried to push her away.

" Whatever you did I bet you deserved that," Kari laughed at him.

Sora picked up a pillow off his bed and started hitting him around the head with it.

" Hey stop getting so violent!" He cried.

" Then stop being such a jerk!" She laughed as she walloped him in the back of the head.

He ducked out of the way, jumped on to his bed and grabbed another pillow to hit her back with.

" Well two can play that game. I'm not going down with out a fight!" He shouted as he hit her back,

" As much as I'd love to watch you beat up my brother Sora I've got to go to cheerleading practice, see you two later," she called as she walked away from the battle field.

" Owwww!" Tai groaned as she hit him in the face,

" Serves you right!" She yelled, she jumped onto the bed next to him and started him full force around his shoulders.

He hit her in the side, she lost her balance and fell backwards onto the bed. She caught her foot in the back of his knee and he came tumbling down on top of her.

" Wwwooooowwww!" He cried as he put his hands out to stop him squashing her.

She carefully opened her eyes when she realised he had fallen with out hurting her. His hands were placed either side of her head just keeping himself up, the rest off his body was sprawled out on top of her.

She smiled at how stupid they must look, but he didn't smile back. She stared into his deep dark chocolate eyes. She loved the energy that he held in them, that reckless thirst for life that made him do anything on impulse. She loved the way he made her laugh, the way that he was always there for her like a big brother, she loved the deep, quiet side of him that didn't come out very often.

She had never realised how beautiful his eyes were before.

He was staring straight into her's never looking away asthough he was searching for something. She suddenly felt bare and empty as he looked straight into her soul. Something was missing from her, something had been missing for four years and she needed it back right now.

His deep warm breaths fell onto her face, he was only an inch away from her. She'd never seen him look at her like that before. His eyes were filled with desire and longing. She couldn't resist those eyes for a second longer. She titled her head and closed her eyes not even realising what she was doing.

Their lips met and he swallowed her up in the most passionate kiss she'd ever tasted. It was filled with life and love, just like him. She never wanted such a wonderful kiss to end, she wanted him to take her away and kiss her for eternity. She was whisked away to a different world where only she and her wonderful price existed

His body relaxed and he gentle let himself fall onto her. He ran his fingers threw her silky hair, across her cheeks, down her body and then around her back never letting go of the kiss. Just how he'd dreamed off for so long now.

Suddenly she was brought back down to earth. What the hell was she doing! This wasn't some fairy tale prince this was Tai! Tai Kamiya her best friend! She closed her mouth and he quickly pulled back letting her out of the warm embrace.

He blushed violently and jumped away from her.

" Sora I'm so sorry. . .I. . .I don't know what came over me," He stuttered.

She sat up and swung her legs off the bed.

" I'm sorry Tai. It was. . a. . A spur of the moment thing," She tried to hide her red cheeks from him.

" Yeah a spur of the moment thing," he agreed quietly.

" We didn't know what we doing,"

" I didn't mean to do it,"

" Neither did I,"

" It was a stupid thing to do,"

" Yeah a stupid thing to do. Look I. . .I better go," she said hurriedly trying to get out of there as quickly as possible.

" Yeah alright . . .I'll see you tomorrow?"

" Yeah bye Tai," She rushed out of the apartment with out a backward glance. Kicking her self-doing such a stupid thing in the first place and for stopping such a magical kiss.
