Author DominoDS: Hello my fellow Digimon fan friends. I'm trying to keep on
a schedule for this story.
Gotta be organized for the first time in my life. This is where things may
start to pick up or get juicy.
(Matt,Sora and Tai all sweat drop listening)
Sora: Shall I even be brave enough to ask what you mean?
DominoDS: You'll see. No spoilers ok?
Tai:*Gulp* Don't pick on me ok? I'm supposed to be your favorite
Digidestined Guy yet you like to play with my emotions in all your fics.
DominoDS: People love angst Tai, get over it. Oh and if any Anti-Sora fans
are reading this *gets a ticked off look* then go away. *Please* I've seen
too many anti-Sora fics out there and stuff so I know ppl don't like her.
Which is mean btw. I don't hate any of the characters really. Just like
some better than others.
Matt: That's favoritism!!!
DominoDS: *Authors turn to gulp* Hey Matt, I like ya, i really do. That's
why I'm trying my best to be miss nice gal here.
Oh ok people are probably bored right here saying, "When's this stupid
writer gonna get to her stupid story already?" Ok so
I'll shut up.
Matt,Tai,Sora: YAY!!!
DominoDS: 'Doh!

Part III: Mistakes & Broken Hearts
"What the hell are you doing?!" Matt said watching the two.
Sora felt like a teenager being caught making out, by her father.
"What are you doing here,Matt?" Sora asked surprised.
"Sora we have to talk. It's very important." Matt said looking over at Tai,
then pleadingly to Sora.
Sora averted both gazes on her,her eyes drawing down to the beige carpet on
the ground as her electrified moment with Tai began to vanish. "Tai...I
think you need to go." Sora said politely not wanting to see his hurt gaze.
All three of them were silent for a few moments. Then Tai frowned obeying
Sora's wish walking past Matt, out the door. He slammed it loudly
displaying his sudden anger.
As he reached outside he let his rage escape from his mouth. "Son of a
bitch!!!" he snarled walking to the car. Luckily his son hadn't awaken from
his angry rant. Climbing inside his car, Tai turned the key in the ignition
roaring the engine and pulling sharply out of Sora's driveway. If she
wanted it that way, so be it. He knew he could never compete with Matt
Ishida over Sora's heart.
After he was sure Tai had gone Matt turned and looked at Sora. He
pulled his hands out of his leather jacket pockets. He looked tired, light
circles underlined his azure eyes and he looked at Sora with love in his
eyes. Was it love? She wasn't too sure, and this visit sure did confuse
Sora as well as add to the guilt building inside of her for letting Tai
leave like he did.
"Sora we need to talk about what to do for the sake of our family." He said
remembering what had happened to his family when his mother and father
divorced. "I don't want what happened in my family to happen in ours." He
said placing a hand on Sora's shoulder. Sora's eyes traced onto his hand
resting on her shoulder. She didn't feel anything other than the usual
feeling she had felt before with him. No real excitement,no tingles. But
she owed it to him to listen to what he had to say.
"Ok Matt." She said sitting down with him on the couch looking at him
sincerely. "There's no harm in having a friendly conversation." she said.
But Sora had no idea where this conversation would later lead
her.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~
Sora awoke in pitch darkness. The bright red glare from her alarm clock on
the bed stand beside her read 2:43 a.m. She stirred in her bed and felt
odd. Her clothes were gone and she was sleeping nude in her bed. She rarely
did this, only on especially hot nights she would discloak and sleep with
nothing but a sheet on her bed. Tonight was not a hot night (lol no pun
intended when you read further on). She rolled onto her side and collided
into a warm arm. Sora blinked quickly and felt alarmed. 'Oh shit...' she
thought.
She heard a deep murmur beside her and slow moment beside her like someone
was turning in their sleep.
A leg slipped up against her bare one causing Sora to panic. 'Oh no..what
did I do...' she thought. Through the slight moonlight shining through her
window,and with her eyes adjusting, she could make out the form of the
person sleeping beside her...Matt. 'Aw crap!' Sora muttered. Their clothes
were draped along the footboard of their bed,her bra was slung along the
shade of the lamp beside her. A soft smile was on Matt's face, even though
he was sound asleep, there was no doubt that he knew exactly what went on
in the bedroom. 'It's my fault...it's my fault this happened.' Sora
thought. She clung to the sheet as if it was the only thing protecting her
from everyone.
Just then a high pitched chorus of "Daddy!" rang out as two young
children marched up to the door and knocked on it.
"ACK!" Sora yelled falling on the wood floor hard. She yanked most of
the sheet along with her waking up Matt. The doorknob began to turn
slightly,but the door was locked. The kids behind the door began to yank on
it hard. "Dad!!!" They whined.
Matt turned on a light quickly looking down at the fallen naked Sora on the
ground. He quickly grabbed for his boxers and tossed the sheet on Sora.
"Better get dressed before I open the door." He laughed pulling on the
shorts. Sora grabbed the sheet wrapping it around her form and ran off to
the bathroom in shame.
Matt opened the door seeing his two children at the doorway.
"DAD!" they yelled nearly pouncing on Matt.
"Hey kids!" He said hugging them. He sat down on the bed listening to them
chatter away about how excited they were to see him home.
"Are you home to stay dad?" Sean asked sitting on his dad's stomach." Matt
winced as he was sore for um... various reasons unknown to the children of
course. "Well I don't know. Your mother and I haven't decided anything
yet," he said looking at their hopeful faces. It reminded him of when T.K.
was just a little kid. He ruffled Sean's auburn hair. "I'll be between my
place and here to always see you guys ok? Your mom and I are always going
to be friends." He said with a smile that could make any girl fall in love
with him.
Nika began to look around suddenly noticing that something wasn't
right. "Where's mom?" She asked curiously looking up at her father.
"Uuh...shower?" he guessed and almost immediately the water from the shower
turned on. He stifled a laugh. Sora always knew the appropriate time to go
along.
"Daddy can you tuck us in and read us a story before you leave?" Sean asked
yawning. Matt looked at the time.
"It's too late for a story but I'll tuck you two in,if you give me a
moment to change from my ... P.J.'s into my other clothes ok?" he said
picking them up.
They giggled as their dad manhandled them across the room,setting them down
outside the room.
"OK" they yelled running off to their rooms. He glanced at the bathroom
before he proceeded to get dressed.
'Wow...even I didn't think we'd go that far.' he thought to himself
remembering how the two just ended up all over each other after he talked
about how a family goes through problems and that love would never be the
problem. After he was dressed Matt called 'goodnight' to Sora and
disappeared out the door to say goodnight to his kids and head off.
After he was gone Sora finally emerged from the bathroom fully dressed.
She held her forehead in her left hand thinking over what she had just
done. She walked over to her phone on her stand and began to dial in Tai's
#. "Hopefully he's up." She muttered to herself. "I need to make up to him
what just happened earlier." She said as if trying to explain herself to
someone.
His phone began to ring, she curled her thin finger around the phone cord
waiting to hear his deep voice on the other end of the line. 'I'm so sorry
Tai.' she thought. The phone picked up.
"Hi this is Taichi Kamiya-"
"Hi Tai this is Sora---"
"I'm not home right now, I'm probably out working right now which is most
of the time. Or I'm at a soccer game, or I'm out clubbing. But whatever the
reason leave me a message and I'll get back to you.
Ciao." It was his answering machine. Hmm odd that Tai could sleep through
his phone ringing for so long.
The other side beeped. Her voice quivered oddly as she spoke into the
machine. "Hi Tai, its Sora. I really want to apologize for what happened
earlier. Matt really needed someone to talk to. I'm sorry I asked you to
go. The thing is I didn't want you to but I didn't want to seem rude. Any
ways I want to make it up to you. I'll take you out if you want.....' her
voice softened with a sadness. 'Call me please." she almost whispered into
the phone and hung up. 'I really do like him don't I. Almost able
to do anything for him if put up to the test...almost anything.' She
thought to herself,her kids coming into mind when she said 'almost
anything.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*At Tai's home*
Tai Kamiya lied in his bed staring straight up at the ceiling thinking. It
was very late to be up, he'd have work around 5 or 6 but he couldn't get to
sleep. Sora was still fresh in his mind asking Tai to leave. To leave her
and Matt alone...again. Tai couldn't speak up for himself and say "No Sora.
I want to stay for you." Tai grunted. "Kamiya, you wussie. That's how you
lost her in the first place." He muttered at himself. But she probably
didn't even want him like that. Only think of him as a friend,a shoulder to
cry on. She probably still loved Matt and would do anything for the guy.
But there was still something she'd need to know,but only within time. His
phone beside him began to ring. His arm outstretched to pick up the phone,
but when his fingers were only inches away when he stopped. "Who the hell
would call at this hour?" He grumbled waiting for the machine to pick it
up. The last ring silenced as his machine began.
Then the angelic voice of Sora spoke onto the speaker: "Hi Tai, its Sora."
His hand almost shot forward to the phone but he stopped. 'No...I don't
think i want to talk to her after what happened today' he thought.
"I really want to apologize for what happened earlier. Matt really needed
someone to talk to. I'm sorry I asked you to go. The thing is I didn't want
you to but I didn't want to seem rude. Any ways I want to make it up to
you. I'll take you out if you want....." she said causing Tai to feel
confused.
'Huh? Argh,can't women make up their damn minds!' he cursed to himself.
"Call me please." Sora's voice seemed to plead,then she hung up. With the
click of the machine it was over. Tai's eyes remained glued on the
answering machine. His finger now lingered over the 'delete' key.
Should he? Shouldn't he? Argh, another crossroad to adventure down. But was
it worth it?
**********
By 7:00 a.m. Sora was ready to drive Sean and Nika to school. Everything
was ready and packed,and luckily Sora had enough to sleep to be able to
bounce up awake early to have prepared their lunches and their stuff. "Ok
out the door. My little monsters, ahahaha" Sora said pushing them gently
outside and down the driveway.
"Cool!" Sean's voice yelled and he ran out from Sora's supervision.
"Huh?" Sora looked confused. Nika grinned and said she'd go see what Sean
was up to and followed after her.
"Oh man,mom this is so cool! We get to rid in this to school?!" Nika's
voice asked shrill fully.
Sora locked the front door and headed out to the driveway to see what was
catching their attention.
Tai's dark blue camaro sat out in the driveway and Tai sat on the hood of
his car, wearing his blue jeans and a white buttoned up shirt that was only
buttoned up halfway. He had on his sunglasses and his son sat beside him on
the hood of the car wearing dark black sunglasses that were too big for
him. Sora busted out into laughter.
"Tai,what are you doing here?" She asked curiously as she caught Sean and
Nika.
"Thought I'd help you out this morning by giving the kids a lift to school
so we can head out. Your treat remember?" He said,lowering the shades and
winking at her. She reached a hand to her neck blushing slightly.
"Oh mom can we ride with them?" Sean and Nika asked at the same time.
Sora eventually gave in curious as to what Tai had planned. They all piled
into the car and Tai pulled out of the drive.
When they had passed the school Sora began to panic. "Tai what are you
doing?!" Sora asked shrill fully glancing behind herself at the school
passing by behind them. He seemed to ignore her keeping his eyes on the
road a smug smile on his lips. The kids in the back seat began to all
giggle as if they knew something she didn't.
"What,what's going on?" Sora asked wondering what was being kept from her.
Tai just grinned as they pulled into a large shopping mall. "Tai, what is
this?" She asked not understanding the purpose of the visit.
Tai lifted his shades above his forehead,resting them on the top of his
head.
"We're at Tamachi's largest Arcade center. Remember when we were kids
how we always had a contest with 'Mega Shot'? Well today we're going to
have a bet. Whoever wins the bet has their greatest wish granted." He
paused for a moment. "Keep in mind its one that you or I can of course
grant." He said seriously. "And the kids are here for a day off to play."
Sora began to protest but Tai guided an arm around her shoulders guiding
her away from the car and towards the center.
"Just trust me, this'll be fun." Tai said knowing exactly what he
wanted.
