Just so every Taiora fan knows, this fic is about to take a turn for Taiora, so don't leave me now! Sorato fans, if you're reading this, and you want a Sorato story, tell me in a review! I'll do one if I get enough requests. Anyway, here's another chapter for ya!**
All The Angles
Chapter Three: Two Weeks Later
Tai tried his best to have fun on the trip he shared with Matt and Sora. He acted overjoyed when Sora and Matt explained their love for each other. But inside his soul was aching for the one girl he knew he would never have. After they returned home, Matt and Sora packed for college. They were going to the same university, and had to leave immediately after they returned from Hawaii. Tai didn't go until late July.
"I'm going to miss you so much, Tai!" Sora cried. She and Matt stopped by Tai's house before they drove together to college. Tai hugged his friend and smiled.
"I'm going to miss you too." Tai whispered. Sora got into the car, and Matt waved from the driver's seat, then turned the car on and drove down the street, away from Tai.
"More than you'll ever know." Tai finished. He memorized everything about Sora that morning, from her fiery red hair pulled into a sporty ponytail to her soft warm eyes and loving smile. Sighing, Tai watched until the car left his sight, then walked back into his home, flopping onto his bed. Kari walked in, her eyes filled with concern.
"Tai? You okay?" the sophomore asked. Tai nodded slowly, closing his eyes in an effort to get his sister to stop asking him questions.
"Something isn't right. What happened on the trip, Tai?" Kari asked, wiping a strand of light brown hair from her ruby eyes. Tai looked at Kari through slightly open eyes, glaring.
"Nothing happened. And you're awfully dressed up. You have a date?" Tai asked. Kari nodded happily, twisting some of her hair around a slim finger.
"I'm going out to a movie with TK." Kari chimed.
"What happened to you two just being friends?" Tai asked. He sat up, suddenly interested in Kari and TK's little relationship. He knew TK liked Kari, but he also knew that Kari didn't want to date him because she was afraid of ruining their friendship.
"Well, I've been thinking, and I have decided that if we do break up someday, then we are such good friends that we will overcome whatever obstacles come along with a breakup. Don't you agree, Tai?" Kari explained. (*Trust me, two people CAN break up and become just as good of friends later on. It's happening to me, even though it's taken a long time!*)
"Well, if you think that you two will be able to survive something like that, then by all means, date him. He's the only person I would ever approve of anyway." Tai replied. Kari smiled and hugged Tai.
"So are you going to tell me what's wrong? I'm worried about you, Taichi." Kari asked, using his full name. She knew that when she called him Taichi he usually bent to her will with little or no effort. Tai shrugged and laid back down on his bed.
"Sora's with Matt." Tai stated, his heart cringing with the very thought of the events that had transpired two weeks before.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Kari asked.
"I love Sora." Tai responded, sending Kari into shock.
"I had no idea! I'm so sorry, Tai. But you know something?" Kari replied. Tai shook his head, not feeling like answering.
"I think you two are destined. Maybe it's going to take a couple significant others between the two of you to make you both find each other in the long run." Kari said quietly. Tai looked at Kari and nodded. Her words did make some sense. But then again, Kari did seem wise beyond her years in Tai's eyes. The doorbell rang, and Kari jumped off Tai's bed and ran out of the room, saying goodbye as she left.
"TK, take care of her!" Tai yelled. A blonde boy poked his head into the room and gave the thumbs up, his blue eyes serious. Tai smiled and told TK to leave and have a good time. The door closed, and Tai sighed again.
"Maybe Kari's right. It might take some time, but Sora and I will find each other again." Tai said to himself. He started packing things for when he would be leaving, and by about ten o'clock, his room was boxed up and ready to move. Tired, Tai slid into bed, sleep overtaking him. His dreams were filled with pictures of Sora and the things they had done while in school.
Sora and Matt sat on a couch in a small dorm room, embracing each other. Matt kissed Sora's lips gently and looked into her cinnamon eyes with his bright blue ones. Sora smiled at Matt and touched his collarbone softly.
"This is going to be such an awesome year." Sora said quietly. Matt nodded.
"Especially since you're here with me. I'm so glad we pulled some strings. I can't believe our roommates are best friends. I mean, what are the odds?" Matt replied. Sora shrugged and kissed Matt on the lips. Soon the kiss was getting out of control, and the couple laid down on the couch. Matt turned out the lights, darkening the room.
**So that's it. And one big note: Sora will not get pregnant in this fic, 'cos she's responsible! So just so you know, if they DO have sex, nothing's going to happen. And what about Tai? Is Kari right? You're going to have to read and review to find out! The next chapter will be centering about nine months after this one. I know in the last chapter I said that this chapter would be the one centered nine months later, but I figured that the reader would like a little more background on Matt and Sora's relationship, plus I didn't really get the point across about how Tai was falling for Sora. And I wanted TK and Kari to have a little cameo in this fic! Lata!**
