"Sora?" Sora looked up to see who it was in hopes it would be her Taichi. But her hopes we're lost when she saw Prince Yamato standing before her and not Taichi.
Yamato looked at her and noticed the tears in her eyes. He then knelt down to Sora. "What's wrong, Sora?" He put his hands on her shoulder. Then he was almost knocked down when Sora jumped into his arms, wrapping her arms around him. He did the same.
"They say that Taichi dead! But he cannot be! He cannot! But why isn't he here!" Sora bawled into his chest. Yamato started to stroke her hair softly.
"Shh….It's ok. Everything will be fine," he whispered to her softly. Sora then lifted her head away from the boy with anger in her eyes.
"I need to get him. He needs to pay for taking away my Taichi!"
"Who?" Yamato got all lost.
"King Ichijouji, he's men were the ones who attacked us. Taichi and I would probably be back at the castle right now, living our lives like normal. But no! He had to go and mess up our lives. And he thinks he can get away with it. He has another thing coming to him!"
"Calm down, Sora. Ichijouji has a whole army and you're just a princess. You can't do anything by yourself."
"Yamato, you don't know me and how strong I am. I am capable of destroying a whole army with the powers I have!" Sora stood up with Yamato following her.
"Powers? What powers could a beautiful princess like you have?"
"Since I was born I was given the gift of the earth. One thing I could do, I am able to understand and talk to animals. You probably don't believe me on this one, but it's true. I have befriended all of the forest animals and they've become very dear to me. The second power I have is that I control the Earth's elements." She looked at Yamato and noticed the confused look in his eyes.
"Here, I'll show you." Sora reached her hand out, her palm facing upward.
"Fire." She whispered then a small fire ball appeared in her hand.
"Wind." A small tornado was present.
"Lighting." A lighting ball was in her palm.
"Earth, Water, Ice." She gave examples of each one.
Yamato didn't even blink. This woman kept on surprising him. He was fonder of this girl.
"Oh I see. Sorry to doubt you. Maybe you are capable. But the keyword is maybe. Ichijouji probably already predicted that you will rage an attack on him and already built his army. So it's best for us to wait until he lets his guard down."
"We?"
"Yes, I want to help you on this. After all, we are now allies instead of rivals. It's a king's job to help his allied countries when they are in need."
"Thank you, Yamato." Sora whispered to him.
"Now, go home and promise me you won't leave there." Sora shook her head.
"I can't go home. There are too many bad memories there." Yamato nodded.
"I see, and then you are coming home with me."
"No , Yamato, I don't want to cause you any more trouble then I already did."
"Trouble! Ha! Sora, it would be an honor if you stay at my castle." Finding no reason to argue with the prince, she went home with him.

When they arrived, it was already getting late and Yamato can tell that the princess was tired after the very long day she had. Yamato escorted her to the room she was to stay in. He opened the door for her as she walked in and looked at her new surroundings.
"This is you room you can stay in. There are extra clothes in the closet that should be able to fit you." Sora then turned around and once again jumped into Yamato.
"Thanks so much, you shouldn't have."
"Like I told you, it's no problem at all." Sora then pushed Yamato head towards her. She kissed him long and hard. She needed comfort from anyone that now that she faced the fact that her Taichi was gone. When she pulled away, Yamato was left stunned.
"Good night, princess." He finally said as he shut the door behind her. He started to walk down the hall until his brother appeared from the corner.
"That's the Takenouchi's daughter?" Takeru said with a grin. Yamato nodded. There was also a grin on his face.
"Well done brother, you even manage to bring her to your castle. And that kiss, Whoot! You have her, brother." Yamato laughed and walked on towards his room to sleep for the night.
Sora looked in the closet and retrieved a white night gown. She took off her outfit and slipped into the gown. She then crawled into bed, preparing for the long night ahead of her.
"I love you, Taichi. And I'll always will."
The night was indeed a long one for Sora. She dreamt of the past. The good old days when she and Taichi were kids developing into what was the present. The memories were grand. Taichi and she, looking at the clouds, lying on the field. Taichi comforting her after her parents were killed. The games they played as kids. There were too many to list! Then she dreamt of the would have been future. Her and Taichi's wedding day and night. Their life together, ruling as king and queen. Waking up to see him next to her each morning. And the birth of their first child. The events kept on coming.

The sun shining from the window woke Sora from her slumber. Sora slowly got out of bed and walked towards the window. She looked over the Ishida's land over to her own, in the far distance. She had been at the Ishida's for several months now. She still felt like a stranger in this kingdom and couldn't help but miss it. But she wouldn't put herself through the pain of the past. Not yet. Sora then started to get dress into a plain, solid blue, gown. She brushed her hair very nicely and then returned to look out the window. They probably already found someone else to rule the land and forgotten all about her.
Sora remained to look at her land in the distance until two arms wrapped around her waist and a kiss was planted on her neck. Sora didn't even bother to look who it was. She knew it was Yamato.
"Well, you're up and about awful early. Good morning, my love." Yamato continued to kiss her neck. Yamato thought they grew very close over the past couple of months and the whole kingdom knew about King Yamato's girl who lived in the castle that Yamato loved deeply. Yes, Yamato was now king. He was crowned shortly after a month that Sora started to stay at the castle. Yamato turned the girl around to face him and kissed her deeply. Sora returned the kiss. Every time she would kiss or be held by Yamato she would imagine that it was her Taichi instead of Yamato. Since she thought about her Taichi so strongly, she was able to be very passionate to Yamato. This fooled Yamato to thinking that the young woman was in love with him. Once they pulled away, Yamato looked at Sora with his hands on her shoulders.
"I have the most wonderful news, my love. I have heard that Ichijouji is sailing on the Mocot Sea. They should be sailing by our bay within the next couple of days. This would be the most excellent opportunity to attack them there." He said while stroking her hair. Sora wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Yes, finally we get to pay them back to what they done."
"Yes, and I'm already getting a full army ready, just in case."
"Thank you, Yamato." They pulled into another kiss.
"Listen, I would love to stay with you today but I have to prepare some things before we head out. So I'll be seeing you later." He gave her one last deep kiss before leaving the room. Sora then turned around staring back out to the land with a small smile.
"Yes Taichi, I finally get to pay Ichijouji back for what he had done to us. Don't worry Taichi, I'll make sure he'll regret what he's done to you, my love."
Ok, don't worry, it'll be Sorato just a little longer then I'll fix it for sure! Remember I am a Taiora writer! And always will be no matter what. No one can convince me to change! Now thanks for reading and now review!
