SORA

CHAPTER 3

Sora quietly unlocked and opened the door of her apartment, she slowly poked her head out to see if see could see the noises origin. Her crimson eyes peered down the dim corridor, alas Sora could not see well enough. So she crept silently out of her apartment, then slinked down the hallway, slow approaching the noises creator. Carefully not to make a sound, she tread lightly on the floor and made her breathing as unnoticeable as possible. Her heart raced as she listened to the strange noise. The noise seemed almost rhythmic, she thought as her ears strained to hear it better. As she came closer to the elevators she noticed a silhouette of a person, which appeared to be moving with the thumping. She strained her eyes even harder to see the person. Her mouth opened with a questioning awe, the person appeared to be the one making the noise. Even more shocking to her was that the person was using their head to make the noise. She moved swiftly now with her curiosity getting the better of her. Sora then halted in her tracks and let out a low shocked gasped, "Taichi?". The very second that name left her lips, the rhythmic thumping stopped. Sora took a step forward, "Taichi?", she said slightly louder, but just as soft. He did not answer, "Taichi?", Sora said even louder. This time instead of silence, the male figure just inhaled loud and unsteady, then banged his head against the wall once again. Sora just stared, not to sure what was making him do that or why.

*PING*

The elevator doors opened. The noise startled Sora out of her trance. Taichi walked slowly into the elevator and Sora ran quickly in after him.

The elevator closed. The two figures just stood there in silence. Taichi's eyes were locked straight ahead, while Sora's moved uneasily back and forth from the door to Taichi's face.

"Taichi.....", she whispered. No reply. "Taichi....", she said slightly louder. Still nothing. Sora began to think again, to think about all those times growing together, playing soccer, going to school, and then during the digital world they became even closer. She had always thought that the two of them would be friends, friends forever. With those very thoughts Sora's eyes began to swell, tears pored out, stinging her cheeks as they rolled down.

"TAICHI TALK TO ME PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!", Sora screamed and pleaded.

Taichi then lowered his solid gaze down to the floor, he hesitated to speak. Time seemed to stop, what was only seconds seemed like an eternity to Sora. Then finally Taichi spoke, "Sora... Sor", his voice broke and he began to cry. Taichi went limp and fell to the ground. Sora's eyes were soft as she watched the once strong Taichi just break down. 'What had happened that was so bad to change him and change us', she thought. "Sora", he choked out and he began to shake. Sora moved her hand closer to him and froze it above his shoulder." "SORA, SORA", Taichi shouted then swung his arm forward and pushed the emergency stop button.

The elevator came to a sudden halt on the eighth floor.

Sora's eyes were wide with wonder, while Taichi pushed the floor repeatedly with both fists.

"Tai....", she said gently, but was cut off by Taichi.

"Sora......... Sora how could you .....how could you hurt me like this how could you how could you", his voice trailed off. Sora starred mouth hanging open.

"You blind you always were you never stopped to think for one second about how i would feel!!!"

"Wh... wh...", Sora stammered, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IM CONSIDERATE CARING I ALWAYS PUT PEOPLE FIRST ESPECIA..... especially you Taichi.......... then... then all of a sudden you shut me out .... YOU SHUT ME OUT OF YOUR LIFE TAICHI AND YOU ARE CALLING ME INCONSIDERATE AND SELFISH!!! I MEAN WHAT THE HELL TAI !?!?!?", Sora had completely lost it.

"You don't know you don't know anything Sora", Taichi spoke slightly calmer then before. He looked up at Sora with his puffy pink eyes and tears poring. Her face was all red as tears pored steadily out.

"SORA, WHAT MAKES HIM SO SPECIAL WHY IS HE BETTER THAN ME??", Taichi questioned.

"WHAT... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?", Sora shouted back.

SORA WHY... WHY HIM OVER ME?? Taichi screamed.

'HIM', Sora thought, she thought back to the at the park....

************FLASH BACK****************

"Oh Yamato I love you so much, I could never think of life without

you!", Sora said gazing into Yamato's beautiful deep blue eyes. Yamato

gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and said, "I love you to Sora and

I know that I will always need you with me to keep me going through

life". She watched as his loving gazed cold and hard. Sora

turned to see what had made his mood change so abruptly. Taichi had seen or felt Yamato's glare and was giving one straight back just as cold and hard. Then she felt another cold stare pushing against her as her eyes met with Hikari's. The eerie silence between them all sent chills down

her spine, Yamato vs. Taichi and Hikar..... no wait Hikari wasn't staring

in disgust at Yamato her fiery glare was directed, directed at HER!

*********END FLASH BACK***********

'HIM, HIM, HIM ..... YAMATO..... YAMATO....... YAMATO', echoed through her.

'DO I LOVE HIM? I.... I SAID THAT I LOVED HIM ... LOVE HIM I SAID THAT I LOVE HIM. BUT HIKARI YOU HATE ME BECAUSE..... WHY WHY DOES SHE HATE. TAICHI, YOU HATE ME BECAUSE... WHY WHY DOES HE HATE...... DOES HE HATE ME? YAMATO ARE YOU WORTH THIS TO ME YAMATO ARE YOU THE PROBLEM?' these thoughts screamed through her mind.

"Taichi. why why do you hate me because of Yamato?", Sora asked.

"SORA I DON'T HATE YOU!" he cried.

"YOU DON'T THEN WHAT WHAT IS ALL OF THIS?"

Sora calmed herself slightly.

"Taichi, are, are you jealous?"

"Yes".

"Why?"

"Because".

"BECAUSE WHY TAI?"

"Because you never noticed me as anything".

"That's not true, you and I were best friends what else could you want from me I always noticed you".

"What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else?" Taichi just kept on repeating that. Sora crouched down beside him.

"Taichi?"

"What else?"

"Taichi?"

"What else?"

"Taichi?"

"What else?"

Taichi raised his arms and placed them firmly on her shoulders and began to shake her back and forth, still repeating, "What else?"

"Taichi, stop it, stop it you're hurting me."

"WHAT ELSE?"

"TAICHI GET A GRIP, YOU HURTING ME!!!" Sora screamed, then pulled back and swung her and full force.

*SMACK*

Sora fell back and was sitting in the corner of the elevator, shacking with fear. While Taichi knelt in the middle folding the side of his face that was just slapped. Tears streamed down both their faces.

"Taichi?"

"Sora."

"Taichi, what happened, what happened to us, what happened to make us be like this?"

"Yamato." Taichi said bluntly.

"What did Yamato do?"

Taichi sighed.

"Remember the night I came over and you, well you told me about Yamato?"

"Yes, why."

"Do you remember why I came over to your house for dinner?"

"Um...... I invited you didn't I, to talk to you about Yamato and because my mother was working late."

"No, no that wasn't it. I just showed up at your place because I needed to talk to you and because I, well I thought Yamato would be here."

Sora's face was clueless.

Taichi went on, " I thought I would be him to it and tell over dinner but..... he, he beat me to it."

Sora remembered now, she remembered clearly Taichi's face when he arrived and when he had left, he was so hurt. 'I can't believe it', she thought, 'how could I have been so blind . No, no maybe she just misunderstood him'.

'Please, please let me have just misunderstood.'

Sora get regret the second she opened her mouth and asked her question.

"What were you going to tell me that night?" Sora inquired.

"I was going to tell that I, Sora, I, I", Taichi stammered. Sora closed her eyes tight and lowered her head to her knees, 'Taichi please, please don't', she thought.

"I LOVE YOU", he burst out and began to cry.

Sora's face turned blank, her body was in stun. 'Love, she thought,'I was right, I shouldn't have asked, but now at least everything makes sense,that's why that's why Hikari and Takeru hate me because I don't love her brother and that's why her and Takeru broke up because of me, all me.'

'But now, Taichi is just looking at me, what am I going to say

"NO, NO WHY AM TO BLAME I DID WHAT MY HEART WANTED TAICHI I'M SORRY BUT I LOVE, I LOVE YAMATO!", Sora exclaimed.

Taichi got up slowly and pressed the elevator door button.

"Taichi, I'm sorry I'm so so sor-"

"Don't be sorry." Taichi said firmly

"Taichi?"

"I can't control you, I just hope you won't regret your choice."

With that the elevator doors opened and Taichi stepped out. He turned back and said, "I think I'll take the stairs."

"Taichi." Sora said as she crawled forward, but the doors closed. She watched his figure walk away slowly and vanish between the doors.
