Chapter
6: Effecting the Future
Sora fell asleep with Bajiru curled up
alongside her. They were on the couch
in the front room and didn't hear the knock on the front door. The clock on the
front read 7:00 a.m. It was a Saturday so the children didn't have to worry
about going to school the next day. The
front door pushed open slowly and Tai Kamiya's head peeped in curiously. "Hello?" He tested to see if anyone
was up. He walked in after a few moments looking around and finally spotted
Sora and Baijiru lying on the couch asleep. He stood there and "awed" them quietly, almost enough to wake
up Sora. Her amber eyes fluttered open slowly and looked up at Tai. "How'd you get in?" She asked
hoarsely.
"Front door was unlocked," He
said motioning to the door behind him. She nodded not moving with Baijiru on
her body. "Almost forgot the little guy was staying here. I had to go out
last night for awhile to try to resolve things with Matt," He said
slowly. Sora looked surprised to hear
him say that. She almost felt tempted
to tell Tai about Baijiru's favor he
asked of her yet she didn't want to.
"Resolve things with Matt? Really, by the way things looked last night,
it seemed like things would never be resolved. But Matt shouldn't have attacked
you like that..." She trailed off remembering her betrayal to him.
"Ohh...Tai... I'm so sorry about...deceiving you like that..." Sora
glanced down at the ground almost shifting Tai's son in her arms so she could
sit up.
He
shook his head sitting down beside her.
"You had a right to know, I shouldn't
have kept that from you. You were always one of my best friends and keeping
secrets is not something I should do." He pulled up her legs for a moment
and sat down again, placing them over his knees. "What do you plan to do
about it?" He asked slowly.
Sora
shrugged not really knowing.
"Here,"
she handed Baijiru carefully over to Tai. "I have to stop by the office to
pick up my schedule for tomorrow's work load." She sighed and stood up to
change her clothes.
"I'll stop by later to pick up
his stuff. See ya Sora." He said walking out. As his car pulled out of the
driveway he didn't notice a large black limo pulling down the neighborhood's
road and head towards Sora's house.
The
limo pulled into the drive, almost not able to fit such a large vehicle in the
medium sized space. A tall, thin woman with chin length brown hair, streaked
with pink stepped out of the limo. She wore a pink dress silky shirt and a
business styled pink skirt to match, having fashion designed type white shoes
that went with it. Famous from her show she had her cute little pink cowboy hat
just resting on the crown of her head. She adjusted her dark sunglasses and
edged up the driveway slowly so she wouldn't crack the ends of her heels. The
limo driver stuck his head out of the vehicle and said loudly. "You sure
you want me to park here? The tail end is almost sticking out into the
street!"
Mimi
sighed flustered and pointed a finger at him.
"It's fine. Leave it where it is.
It's not like I'm going to get a ticket for parking in a neighborhood
driveway." She laughed. The driver shrugged and sat back in his seat
fiddling with the radio channels.
Mimi
stepped up to the front door and knocked gently holding a cute sparkly white
bag in her hand waiting for her friend to appear at the door.
The
door slowly opened and Sora Tackenouchi Ishida stood there gaping at Mimi. Mimi
threw up her arms adorably and screeched: "Sora!" and just then the
door slammed in her face. WHAM! Mimi's nose was barely grazed by the wood. She
blinked slowly and then pounded on the door.
"Sora,
what's wrong with you?!" Mimi yelled. No reply came after her demand. She
stood there and then just rested a hand on her hip. "Sora...it's me, Mimi.
What's wrong with you hon?" Mimi said waiting.
Her
reply soon came.
"Go away Mimi! I don't want to see or
talk to you!" She yelled.
Mimi
looked flabbergasted and kicked the door. She wasn't normally this upset but
when your best friend doesn't talk to you for no reason of course you're going
to be a little upset.
"Why?? What did I do, Sor?" Mimi
asked almost pleading.
"Tai
told me! Tai told me about you and Matt! How could you do this to me, Mimi?!
I
thought we were friends!" Sora almost cried.
Mimi
froze in place. She had forgotten that Tai knew about her and Matt. She never
wanted to hurt Sora but it had just happened. That's why she never wanted Sora
to know that it happened while Sora and Matt were together. She hung her head
slowly.
"Look,
I'm sorry Sora. I didn't want you to find out because I didn't want you hurt. I
love you Sora, you're like a sister to me. And I know what betrayal is to you.
You never give real 2nd chances to those who betray you. So I thought it would
be best if you didn't find out...."
"Well
I did. Too bad, so sad! Shows what a
real friend you are. You and Matt can both get out of my life for all I
care!" Sora yelled.
Mimi
began to cry. "No Sora, please don't kick me out of your life! We
need each other.
Besides
you and Matt aren't together anymore!"
"It
doesn't matter, you betrayed my trust, and our friendship, and for that I don't
know if you should be forgiven by me. Just leave Mimi."
A
silence hung in the air between them. Mimi stood there, her mind finally
grasping what had just actually happened between them. In that second she
wished she could have taken everything back that had happened. She never wanted
to hurt her best friend, especially with the man that Sora had loved at the
time. Mimi began to fiddle with her bracelets. She couldn't help herself, she
had always loved Matt since Junior High. It was hard to never act on it,
especially when Sora began to like him. She just felt bad for Tai when he said
that Matt didn't care how he felt when Tai said he liked Sora. Sora came to
Matt, and Matt advanced on the chance to go out with Sora. It made Mimi both
jealous and angry, she comforted Tai at one time but there was nothing between
them. She began to see Michael when she lived in NY but that didn't last very
long. She called Matt a few years after they all defeated MalMyotismon (sorry
if I got his name wrong) and he had gotten engaged to Sora. All chances of
being with Matt were suddenly dissolved. She was truly crushed, but if it meant
her best friend's happiness then so be it. A sacrifice was willing to be made.
Mimi
took a few steps back and said softly. "Alright Sora...,"
and
walked back towards the limo to leave.
As the
limo began to pull out of the driveway Sora glanced out from the curtain
watching her leave, a silent tear grazing down the side of her face. "I'm
sorry Meems.."
A/N:
It's another brain bust because I can't think of what to do next really. I
didn't intend on leading this story to be so long but it just happened that
way. Anyways...In a few days I'll be working on my ooc crazy fic so wish me
luck. I need more guys to review to be in the fic though. -_-'
