Lost Love by Ying-Fa
Chapter 5 - Confused Once Again
Sora was walking down the stairs deep in thought when she noticed a tall blonde boy walking towards her.
She put away her thoughts and smiled, "Hey T.K.!"
T.K. smiled back at her, "Hey!"
Sora still kept her smile, "Well, I'm going to go eat breakfast."
T.K. nodded, "Well, breakfast is already cooked, I'll just go get the other ok?"
Sora eyed T.K. "Hm.. so you cooked breakfast? No wonder it smells good up here!"
T.K. blushed at the comment, "Uh yeah. Thanks. Well, I better go get the others before breakfast gets cold and all."
Sora nodded as both went their seprate ways.
T.K. had decided to knock on his brother's door first since he was his brother and not to mention, he had wanted to ask Matt something important.
As he came upon the hallway, there he saw 5 people sighing in relief. "Kari? What happened?"
He had decided to ask her since he knew she would spill the beans.
She took a deep breath, "You'll never believe what my brother just saw.. I couldn't believe it!"
Tai cut her off, "Uh, I don't think you should know, after all you are his younger brother and I don't think you'd, well.."
He was suddenly cut off. "Yeah, he wouldn't understand what Tai?" Matt asked from behind. The others jumped at the voice and immeditaly turned around.
His eyes were stone cold - same old Matt T.K. thought as he folded his arms.
"What? Nothing happened.. after all Matt still has those mean, cold eyes. And not to mention the personallity to push his loved ones away." T.K. couldn't help it... he was a bit mad at his brother for shoving him off at his concert. He heard from Sora that Matt had pushed him over for a girl.. but he still wanted to ask Matt himself.
Matt glared at T.K.
"Exactly." He stated coldly as he went off to the kitchen.
"What was that about?" Joe asked as he walked up to T.K. The others followed and Kari stepped up to her soon to be boyfriend.
"T.K. you never acted like this to your brother." T.K. sighed as he sat down.
He was staring at the floor when he spoke, "You see, Matt shoved me off for, well, Mimi. That wasn't the first time he did that.. but it got annoying when I had wanted to talk to him or something like that." T.K. looked up at Mimi, "No offense or anything."
Mimi nodded in understandment. T.K. stood up, "I just don't think Matt will ever become the old Matt I knew when I was younger.. that's all."
Mimi now understood as she smiled, "Don't worry T.K. I think Sora has that covered."
T.K. looked up at her questionably. Mimi just smiled innoceanly.
"You see, we the the DigiDestined exluding Matt and Sora -"
Joe continued on for her, "Have a plan to bring -"
Tai joined in, "The two together!"
Mimi continued on, "And hopefully, Sora will be able to bring the old Matt back.. your old brother you once knew."
T.K. smiled, "Thanks!" He said humbily.
"No problem T.K. after all, we kinda noticed your brother had a thing for her." Kari stated as she hugged T.K. for no reason.
T.K. smiled as he hugged her back, "Yeah I kinda noticed that too. You know he acts really different around her."
The others awed and Kari pulled back away from T.K. Both were blushing maddly as the others began to laugh.
Sora looked up to see Matt sitting down in front of Sora. Sora noticed there was something wrong with him, "Matt are you ok?"
Matt looked up to her with cold eyes that brought chills down her back. But soon, they had soften as Sora relaxed a bit.
"I'm fine. I'm just thinking." He said a bit flatly as he noticed Sora's uneasyness towards his cold eyes.
Quitness filled the room as both ate their breakfast quietly. Sora had to break it.
"Matt?" Matt stopped eating and looked up at her.
"I, well I was wondering..." She was cut off by the sounds of footsteps that Matt had too heard.
Sora continued on, "I was wondering if you liked the eggs?!" Sora said cheerfully.
Matt, caught on quickly, "Actually yes I do." Sora smiled.
And as if on cue by Sora's smile, the rest of the group walked in talking and some giggling. Matt gave Sora a look that she only understood. She then smiled and continued to eat her breakfast.
She was nearly done with T.K.'s breakfast when Gennai stepped in, "Well, I'm glad you were able to eat breakfast."
The group sitting at the table looked up a bit unknown of what to say.
Sora was to speak before anyone, "Hey Dad?"
"Dad?" Everyone but Matt questioned.
Matt seemed in a way to understand her situation, I mean the situation on calling Gennai 'Dad'. For one, he looked nothing like Sora so he figured she was adopted. Little did he know he was right.
"Oh." Sora said a bit surprised they would ask. Sora smiled as she answered them, "Oh, well Gennai adopted me - that's why I call him 'Dad'. You see, he took me in to the Digital World after my Mom had died. I don't think I've ever had a father and so that's why I call Gennai 'Dad' or 'Father' because he acts just like one."
The others nodded.
Hm.. looks like I was right. Matt thought as he picked up his plate.
Gennai sat down and inhaled the food, "Hm.. this isn't your cooking Sora, so who made it?"
T.K. blushed, "Uh, well I did Sir er Gennai."
Gennai nodded, "It probably taste just as good as Sora's cooking."
T.K. couldn't help but smile.
Soon, everyone but Kari and T.K. were outside playing football knowing today was the last day of which they could stay at Genni's house. T.K. and Kari were playing cards inside with Gennai. Goldfish was the game.. Gennai kept loosing.
Gennai laughed as he was swept out of the game. The others too laughed seeing that it was a bit hard for Gennai to play.
Outside, Sora, Matt, Tai, Izzy, Mimi, and Joe were choosing teams. Joe sat on the so called sidelines of the field and yelled back, "I'll be the medical doctor!"
Mimi quickly turned her head towards Joe, "Um.. I'll the medical nurse!" She yelled back at the others as she ran towards Joe.
Sora couldn't help but smile.
"Sora and Matt can be the team leaders." Tai inquired wondering how both Matt and Sora would react during the game with both against each other... and if he knew Sora, Sora would'nt let a boy stand in her way.. but what about Matt?
Matt smirked at Tai, "Well then, I chose Tai."
"And I choose Izzy." Sora piped up. Izzy smiled glad to be accepted on a team.
The game soon begun as Sora tried to pass the ball to Izzy as soon as he was open. Appearently Tai was blocking Izzy and Matt was no were to be seen. Just as Sora was about to give up, Izzy was able to escape Tai's block. Sora saw her chance as she wanted to pass the ball. But, as she let go of the ball, Matt had tackled her down to the ground.
The ball slipped from her hands as Tai called, "Fumble!"
Izzy and Tai tried to retrieve the ball as Matt and Sora were still on the other side of the field with Matt still gripping his arms around Sora waist from the tackle.
Sora now ended up on the bottom of Matt as Matt ended up on top of Sora. As Matt tried to get up, he noticed he was now on top of Sora as Sora noticed the same. Their eyes once locked as the two couldn't pull away.
Izzy and Tai were still trying to get the fumble as Mimi was flirting with Joe so in a way Joe also flirted back.
Gennai was standing next to the window watching the game as a smile krept his face at Tai's and Izzy's fight against the football. Kari had won the game as she threw the cards towards T.K.
"Yeah! Now you get the clean the mess up!" Kari said happily as T.K. tried to act mad.
Gennai then noticed that Sora and Matt weren't in on the action. He then scanned the front yard to see if he could find Matt and Sora.
He did a double take at Sora's red glow that begun to surround her. Genni was about the only one that could see her glow since he was the one who had raised her... plus they had a great bond. Sora had always referred Gennai as Father, not Gennai.
Matt was on top of Sora as Sora was on the bottom. He eyed them, wondering why Sora had a faint glow around her.
Both Matt and Sora ignored the world around them. It was if no one excisted except for them. Matt leaned closer as Sora didn't budge.
Gennai's eyes widedened as he knew Matt's move towards Sora. A flashback went through his mind as he now knew why Sora had a red glow appearing around her.
FLASHBACK
"But is there another way she can retrive her crest?!" Gennai asked hoping there was another option.
A holographic man stood in front of Gennai. He had light brown hair that was a bit messy. He wore a dark brown cloak as he spoke. His eyes were of silver as he looked like as if he were around in the 20's.
The man thought for a moment then responded, "Well, yes there is. I'm not so sure if there is another way but if this does happen before her quest, she will recieve a slight glow of red around her."
Gennai nodded his head as he awaited for the man to continue on.
"The slight glow will indicate that her crest will come for her.. that is if she does glow for long enough. This glow differs from her battle glow though... You see this glow is triggered by Love, her crest. This feeling Sora feels towards someone will cause her to glow sending the Crest of Love towards her. But, it's very rare for this type of thing to happen. The only way she could retrive her crest would be through her quest.. with the other DigiDistined quest."
Gennai nodded as he bowed, "Thank you."
END OF FLASHBACK
Matt was now inches away from Sora's lips as Gennai knew it was this kind of glow he was talking about.
Sure, a glow also appeared around her when she was batteling, but this glow around her now was different. Though it didn't seem any different, living with Sora and training her everyday, he knew the difference.
T.K. and Kari where now done cleaning up the mess Kari had made when she won the game.
T.K. spoke as soon as the last card was placed in it's deck, "Hey Kari? Wanna come and play football with the others?"
Kari nodded as she giggled a bit at T.K.'s eagerness.
Gennai had heard what they had said, but didn't take it into consideration until they were just about to go outside.
Then it hit him, "Kari! T.K. don't.." He was cut off by the slam of the door. Gennai's eyes widened as he looked back at the couple in the front yard.
Matt was so close to Sora, both of their lips were only a centimeter away. Matt's warm breath brought shivers up Sora's back as she longed for him to close the gap.
"Hey!" T.K. yelled as he waved his hand at the others. T.K. and Kari didn't seem to notice Sora and Matt.
The sound of T.K.'s voice brought Matt and Sora back to reality.
Matt imediatly pulled back and got off of Sora as he helped Sora up. Both were a bit queit, a bit too quite. It had happened once again. It was only seconds before Matt could have closed the gap between him and Sora, but during that second in time, it was broken.
Sora looked towards the back of the house as she noticed it still wasn't fixed.
Matt on the other hand was looking at the ground.
"Uh, Matt? I'll be back." She stated as she avoided his eyes. Matt looked up towards Sora only to see her dissapear and run to the back of the house.
He sighed as he walked up to the group.
Gennai groaned in dissapointment. They were so close, Sora was so close in recieving her crest without going through the trouble of going into the Digital Forest, without going through the pain the others would endure... he thought as he looked up once more.
There, Sora was not were to be seen as T.K. joined Izzy. Kari sat on the sidelines cheering for T.K.
I need to talk to Sora... Gennai thought to himself as he scanned the front yard.
Sora walked outside to the the part of the house that was ruined. She looked at it and figured of how Gennai would fix it.. after all it was only 1 more day till they would leave Gennai by himself. Suddenly, something snapped Sora.
Sora smiled a bit as she closed her eyes to concentrate.
Matt sat on the sidelines away from the rest of the group lost in his thoughts. The only thing that he heard last was his name. This of course caused him to look up at the voice. It was Gennai.
Matt stood up and brushed off some grass that stuck to his pants as he awaited for Gennai's remark, or question.
Gennai spoke as he knew Matt was all ears, "Do you know where Sora is?"
Matt thought for a moment before he came up with a response, "... Yeah, she went to the back of the house." Matt pointed out as Gennai nodded.
Soon, Matt was left by himself once more. He looked around thinking to himself once more.
There Tai, T.K., Izzy, and Joe were playing football. Joe had decided to take Matt's place since he decided not to play anymore. Mimi was on the sidelines with Kari cheering for there so call 'secret crush'.
Matt looked back at the torn side of the house. He hesitated a bit, but he decided to go check out why Sora left him.
Tai was just about to throw the football when something caught the side of his eye. Matt had ran back to the torn house.
Tai frowned as he put down the football. I wonder ehy he's going there...
The next thing heard was Tai's voice, "Time out!" He yelled as everyone stopped running towards the football that was on the ground.
"I'll be right back." Tai stated as he ran to follow Matt.
"Hey hold up! We can't play without you!" T.K. yelled as he followed Tai.
The others too followed wondering Tai had decided to run off to the torn side of the house.
The last thing everyone saw as they approached the back of the house, was a flying pipe flinging above them as they ducked their heads. That is all except Sora and Gennai.
Gennai was trying to dogde some flying debree as Sora didn't seem to notice that she was being watched by 8 pairs of eyes.
Sora's eyes were shut closed as a viewable red arura surrounded her. Everyone gasped at her arura.
No one had ever seen her arura like this before. It was a trasparent red that seemed to be quiet strong.
Now, everyone including Gennai was standing up proper - the flying debree had stopped as they now looked at the house. The once torn house was just like new.. or even better!
Sora opened her eyes as a gasp escaped her lips. She and the rest stood there a bit stunned.
Sora looked back at the house and smiled, "Call it an early Christmas present Father."
Gennai's shocked look turned into a smile as he hugged Sora. "Thank you."
Soon the hug parted as she looked at the others. "Um.. I'm sorry if any of you got hit, but I didn't know all you were here."
Tai spoke up to ease Sora's nerves. "It's alright! We didn't get hit.. but I can't believe you were able to fix the house back up in 5 minutes!"
The others agreed as blush appeared on her face.
Gennai cleared his throat through the convesations between the DigiDestined. The group became quiet as they brought their attention towards Gennai.
"As you know, tomorrow will be your day to leave... so I suggest you go and get ready for tomorrow. Dinner will be served at 7 sharp." The others nodded as they begun to walk to their room chatting about Sora fixing up half of the house with her powers.
Matt and Sora on the other hand weren't much part of the conversation. Matt wasn't saying anything as he walked the stairs with Sora. Sora did the same and stopped in the middle of the stairs. Matt noticed and eyed her. He too stopped awaiting for Sora's response.
"I'm sorry." She stated as she looked at the stair steps.
Matt frowned, "For what?" He asked as walked up to Sora.
Sora sighed, "For brushing you off back then. I didn't mean too, but I was.. well confused and I needed time to think."
Matt quirked an eyebrow. "And you did that by fixing part of the house with your magic?" He stated sacrastically.
Sora looked up with happiness in her eyes. He had forgiven her, of course he didn't say directly that he had forgiven her but she knew he had forgiven her for that.. and he too knew she had forgiven him for whatever he thought he did wrong.
"I guess." She stated as she happily. Matt was already near her as she looked up only to see Matt's eyes. Again, only inches apart both couples were just about to kiss. As they neared each other, both suddenly paused for a second and turned their heads up to the stairs.
Both had refused once more. For some reason or another they just couldn't bring themselves to it, especially Sora. Sora was confused about this feeling that was building up in Sora. She didn't know what it was, but the feeling seemed to have an effect towards Matt... Or so that's what Sora thought.
Matt wasn't too much sure if he could kiss Sora. He was a bit held back. Though, this had never happened before to any other girl... this girl seemed a bit different. Sure, he would've continued to kiss Sora on the front yard, or ealier this moring, but something urgded him not to because of an inturruption. He was too confused unknown why he acted this way towards Sora. Usually he would just ignore it.. but this seemed different.
There was no intteruption whatsoever, but both held back resisting what they yearned the most.. a kiss.
The two began to walk up the stairs quiet once more.
Gennai of course had seen the whole scene and sighed. "If only I had known earlier.."

Chapter 5 - Confused Once Again
Sora was walking down the stairs deep in thought when she noticed a tall blonde boy walking towards her.
She put away her thoughts and smiled, "Hey T.K.!"
T.K. smiled back at her, "Hey!"
Sora still kept her smile, "Well, I'm going to go eat breakfast."
T.K. nodded, "Well, breakfast is already cooked, I'll just go get the other ok?"
Sora eyed T.K. "Hm.. so you cooked breakfast? No wonder it smells good up here!"
T.K. blushed at the comment, "Uh yeah. Thanks. Well, I better go get the others before breakfast gets cold and all."
Sora nodded as both went their seprate ways.
T.K. had decided to knock on his brother's door first since he was his brother and not to mention, he had wanted to ask Matt something important.

Gennai groaned in dissapointment. They were so close, Sora was so close in recieving her crest without going through the trouble of going into the Digital Forest, without going through the pain the others would endure... he thought as he looked up once more.
There, Sora was not were to be seen as T.K. joined Izzy. Kari sat on the sidelines cheering for T.K.
I need to talk to Sora... Gennai thought to himself as he scanned the front yard.
Sora walked outside to the the part of the house that was ruined. She looked at it and figured of how Gennai would fix it.. after all it was only 1 more day till they would leave Gennai by himself. Suddenly, something snapped Sora.

Matt looked back at the torn side of the house. He hesitated a bit, but he decided to go check out why Sora left him.
Tai was just about to throw the football when something caught the side of his eye. Matt had ran back to the torn house.
Tai frowned as he put down the football. I wonder ehy he's going there...
The next thing heard was Tai's voice, "Time out!" He yelled as everyone stopped running towards the football that was on the ground.
"I'll be right back." Tai stated as he ran to follow Matt.
"Hey hold up! We can't play without you!" T.K. yelled as he followed Tai.
The others too followed wondering Tai had decided to run off to the torn side of the house.
The last thing everyone saw as they approached the back of the house, was a flying pipe flinging above them as they ducked their heads. That is all except Sora and Gennai.
Gennai was trying to dogde some flying debree as Sora didn't seem to notice that she was being watched by 8 pairs of eyes.
Sora's eyes were shut closed as a viewable red arura surrounded her. Everyone gasped at her arura.
No one had ever seen her arura like this before. It was a trasparent red that seemed to be quiet strong.
Now, everyone including Gennai was standing up proper - the flying debree had stopped as they now looked at the house. The once torn house was just like new.. or even better!
Sora opened her eyes as a gasp escaped her lips. She and the rest stood there a bit stunned.
Sora looked back at the house and smiled, "Call it an early Christmas present Father."
Gennai's shocked look turned into a smile as he hugged Sora. "Thank you."
Soon the hug parted as she looked at the others. "Um.. I'm sorry if any of you got hit, but I didn't know all you were here."
Tai spoke up to ease Sora's nerves. "It's alright! We didn't get hit.. but I can't believe you were able to fix the house back up in 5 minutes!"
The others agreed as blush appeared on her face.
Gennai cleared his throat through the convesations between the DigiDestined. The group became quiet as they brought their attention towards Gennai.
"As you know, tomorrow will be your day to leave... so I suggest you go and get ready for tomorrow. Dinner will be served at 7 sharp." The others nodded as they begun to walk to their room chatting about Sora fixing up half of the house with her powers.
Matt and Sora on the other hand weren't much part of the conversation. Matt wasn't saying anything as he walked the stairs with Sora. Sora did the same and stopped in the middle of the stairs. Matt noticed and eyed her. He too stopped awaiting for Sora's response.
"I'm sorry." She stated as she looked at the stair steps.
Matt frowned, "For what?" He asked as walked up to Sora.
Sora sighed, "For brushing you off back then. I didn't mean too, but I was.. well confused and I needed time to think."
Matt quirked an eyebrow. "And you did that by fixing part of the house with your magic?" He stated sacrastically.
Sora looked up with happiness in her eyes. He had forgiven her, of course he didn't say directly that he had forgiven her but she knew he had forgiven her for that.. and he too knew she had forgiven him for whatever he thought he did wrong.
"I guess." She stated as she happily. Matt was already near her as she looked up only to see Matt's eyes. Again, only inches apart both couples were just about to kiss. As they neared each other, both suddenly paused for a second and turned their heads up to the stairs.
Both had refused once more. For some reason or another they just couldn't bring themselves to it, especially Sora. Sora was confused about this feeling that was building up in Sora. She didn't know what it was, but the feeling seemed to have an effect towards Matt... Or so that's what Sora thought.
Matt wasn't too much sure if he could kiss Sora. He was a bit held back. Though, this had never happened before to any other girl... this girl seemed a bit different. Sure, he would've continued to kiss Sora on the front yard, or ealier this moring, but something urgded him not to because of an inturruption. He was too confused unknown why he acted this way towards Sora. Usually he would just ignore it.. but this seemed different.
There was no intteruption whatsoever, but both held back resisting what they yearned the most.. a kiss.
The two began to walk up the stairs quiet once more.
Gennai of course had seen the whole scene and sighed. "If only I had known earlier.."
