Morning…the brilliant sun of Japan shone proudly its beams of neon rays, flooding Yamato's bedroom with tranquil shades of stellar light. Squinting at the intruding brightness, Yamato opened his eyes, gazing out the bedroom balcony window at the illuminated skyline horizon.

He couldn't help but notice the slight stirring of anxiousness tugging at the pit of his stomach. The previous evening, Matt had received an e-mail from Tai informing him that he was taking the subway from Tokyo up to Akita where Yamato was living. Matt had offered to meet him at the subway station but Taichi refused and stated he was going to walk straight to the apartment building. There was a moment when the blond boy blushed, knowing well that Taichi was going out of his way to save Matt an extra trip.

'Tai…you're too kind…' he said to himself.

Sitting up lazily in his bed, Matt rubbed his eyes, blinking away the last remains of sleep. Today was special; Taichi was coming to see him.

Padding sluggishly toward the bathroom, Matt started the shower, preparing for his friend's arrival.

Taichi sighed with increasing impatience. Small crowds of people occupied the subway car he had been traveling in for several hours. Most were checking their watches and clutching their briefcases or book bags tightly against their lap, keenly awaiting their stop.

Outfitted with an overstuffed duffel bag, Tai stared out the window at the unfamiliar city of Akita, watching the various buildings whip by as the subway sped along its track.

The boy ran his fingers through his shortened brown hair, noticing it had grown since he last cut it. He remembered how Matt had the perfect head of hair…

'It's alright, Tai…you'll see him soon.'

'Any moment now,' I realized, pacing through my apartment nervously. My anticipation was growing by the second, and for a minute I thought I was going to throw up. 'Years! Literally! I haven't seen him…or even spoken with him! I wonder how he's been…if he found a girlfriend…or boyfriend…'

My train of reflection was lost when I heard knocking at the door. He was here, he had come. So many thoughts raced through my scrambled head at once, and all I could do was move subconsciously toward the front entrance, knowing well that Tai would be standing outside my door…

Sorry that's so short! Part Three will be up tomorrow! (it is July 5th) See ya then!
