Snow was falling softly onto the ground all around Tai Kamiya as he walked through the quiet Odaiba streets with Sora Takenouchi, his girlfriend of two years. Nothing moved in the town, not a car was on the roadways. It was dead quiet as the city dwellers settled into their homes for the evening. Tai glanced over at Sora, who was silently observing the snowfall, a serene smile gracing her face. Her auburn hair gave the white atmosphere around the couple a splash of color. Sora looked up at Tai, her brownish eyes shining. Tai looked back at Sora with loving caramel eyes and smiled down at her.
"I don't think this evening could be any prettier." Sora whispered, wiping some stray snowflakes off her face with a gloved hand. Tai shook his head and cupped her face in his hand gently, stopping on the sidewalk. He looked into her eyes again and noticed the frozen droplets of rain sticking to Sora's long eyelashes.
"It wouldn't be pretty without you." Tai replied, his voice quiet. Sora blushed as Tai leaned in and kissed her pale lips softly. He felt the chill of her lips and gathered her to him, embracing her as the kiss grew more involved. They opened their mouths, allowing each other's tongues to enter the other's mouth. After sharing a moment, the two of them parted. Their breath was shallow, and puffs of white escaped their lips, but it was worth it.
"I almost hate to say goodnight." Tai said as they continued onward, walking toward Sora's house. He was afraid to leave her at home without her mother being home, but relaxed slightly when Sora assured him she would be alright. Sora opened the door to her apartment she shared with her mother and walked inside. Tai followed, closing the door behind him.
"I don't want to say goodnight either, Tai." Sora whispered, taking off her coat and motioning Tai to follow suit. Tai took off his coat and gloves, setting them in a chair neatly. Before he could turn around, Sora was kissing his neck.
"Sora. . ." Tai mumbled as he turned to kiss her lips. The couple held each other in the hall for a few minutes, kissing softly in the dim lighting. They parted once again, smiling.
"I want you to stay with me. . ." Sora murmured. Tai looked at Sora with a shocked expression, but Sora touched his lips with hers ever so gently, silencing his protests.
"Are you sure?" Tai asked. Sora nodded and led Tai into her bedroom, closing the door behind them.
The next day, a ray of sunlight poured in from the slightly opened curtains, spraying soft light onto the tousled sheets on Sora's bed. Lying in the bed were Tai and Sora, sleeping blissfully in each other's arms. They had made the ultimate commitment to each other the night before, and were exhausted. Sora rested her head on Tai's bare chest, a hand draping his shoulder. Tai was on his back, one arm behind his head, another around Sora's waist. Slowly, Tai's eyes shifted open, and he looked down at Sora with groggy eyes. She looked so peaceful to him, sleeping like an angel beside him. For a moment, he wished he could wake up to see her beside him every morning.
'The ultimate Heaven. . . .' Tai thought to himself as he touched Sora's face delicately. She stirred, looking up into Tai's eyes with her own sleepy eyes.
"Morning." Tai whispered, barely audible.
"Morning." Sora whispered back, stroking Tai's brown hair lightly. Tai kissed Sora gently, then got out of her bed and searched for his clothing. Sora also got out of bed and wrapped a bathrobe around her nude form. She was a little sore, but it was worth it. She had never wanted to be with Tai more than that very moment, and she felt as if she could start a life with him immediately, she would. Tai went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the hot water run over his tired body.
"I can't believe we finally did it." Sora whispered to herself as she cooked some pancakes on the stove for her and Tai to eat. Tai walked out into the kitchen, a dark navy towel wrapped around his waist. He kissed Sora's neck, sending shivers down her spine.
"Hey you. . ." Tai purred. Sora turned and kissed Tai's lips eagerly.
"Hey. . .get dressed, I have breakfast ready for you." Sora answered, pushing Tai into the bedroom. Later, after they shared a huge breakfast together, Tai got ready to leave the apartment.
"I love you, Sora." Tai said as he embraced his girlfriend, holding her close. Sora held Tai tightly, almost afraid to let him go.
"I love you too." Sora added as she watched Tai walk out of the building and down the street toward his own home. Sighing, Sora closed the door and walked into the bathroom. She wiped the steam off the mirror and looked at her reflection. Smiling, Sora got into the shower and got cleaned up to face the day.
*Four weeks later. . .*
Tai sat in his bedroom listening to music when Matt Ishida, Tai's best friend, bounded into his room, a concerned expression on his face. Matt lived a couple apartments away from Sora, and seeing him so worried made Tai nervous.
"Hey Matt, what's up?" Tai asked his blonde friend. Matt sat down on Tai's bed and looked at Tai with big blue eyes. He didn't say a word, he just looked down at the floor. Tai became nervous and stood up, walking to his window.
"Alright man, you're making me nervous. What's wrong? Is Mimi okay?" Tai asked, referring to Matt's new girlfriend, Mimi Tachikawa, another friend.
"Sora's gone. She's run away." Matt said, his expression dark and solemn. Tai couldn't believe his ears as the words registered in his mind.
"Run away? Why?" Tai asked, incredulous. Matt shook his head and threw his hands into the air.
"I just heard today from her mother that she has left Japan. It was all in a note. She told me. . .to give you this note she found for you from Sora. I'm sorry, Tai." Matt replied, handing a small white paper to Tai, who opened it nervously and began to read.
"Dear Tai. . .I want you to know I love you with all my heart, and I always will. Something has happened to me, and I need to leave Japan to sort some things out. It's not you, it's me, and it's something I have to do myself. I don't know if you would understand if I told you, which is why I won't. I'll come back someday, I just don't know when. I just want you to know that every day that passes, I will be thinking of you and praying that you're thinking of me too. With all my love, Sora." Tai read aloud. He couldn't believe what was happening to him. The one true love of his life, his only love he had ever had, was gone forever.
"No. . . this is all a joke. She's not gone. . ." Tai mumbled, sitting on the bed, a shocked expression on his face. Kari and TK walked in the room, confusion written on their young faces.
"What's wrong?" TK asked. TK Takaishi, Matt's half brother, had been seeing Kari for a couple months, and happened to be at Tai and Kari's home when Matt rushed in with the news.
"Sora ran away." Tai said, his voice devoid of emotion. Kari gasped, taking TK's hand in hers quickly.
"Where has she gone?" TK asked seriously, looking at his brother with concern. Matt shook his head and shrugged helplessly.
"We don't know." Matt replied. Tai began to cry ever so slightly, the tears wetting the letter Sora had written him.
'Why is this happening?' Tai asked himself.
At Odaiba Airport, Sora stood in a line with dozens of other people waiting to board a flight. She carried a small bag with her for the flight, the other ones waiting inside the bottom of the plane for her when she arrived at her destination. So many things had happened to her, and now she was extremely confused and needed to escape.
'I don't know. . .' Sora thought as she watched a woman get onto the plane with a young child. Sora handed the stewardess her ticket she had purchased the day before and walked onto the plane, sitting in her seat after she found it.
"Air Japan will now be taking off for Las Vegas. Please fasten your seatbelts." The stewardess called. Sora did as she was instructed, looking out the window one last time as the plane began to ascend into the blue sky. Sora took out a picture of Tai and her taken weeks before she had decided to leave.
'If only it weren't this way. . .' Sora thought as a tear escaped her eyes. She was leaving Odaiba forever, leaving behind her mother, Tai, her friends.
