Tai sat next to the answering machine. " This is the Kamiya residence. We're not here right now. Please leave your name and number and we'll get back to you. Thanks"
"Beep"
"Hi this is Sora. Tai, I know you're there. I just felt so bad after what you said. I'm sorry, I still don't really know why you're mad at me. I guess.. I spending so much time with Neerin and you felt left out. I'm really sorry Tai. *sniff* you probably hate me right now, but Tai, no matter what happens, you'll always be a best friend to me. Well..... Bye."
Tai replayed the message a few times and then erased it off the machine.
Kari walked out of her bedroom to the living room. "Who was that Tai?"
"Oh, it was just a wrong number."
"Kay. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't Mom or Dad."
"Go do the rest of your home work okay?" Tai told his sister nicely.
"Sure." Kari returned to her room.
Kari tapped her pencil on the desk. "Yeah right, wrong number. I heard the whole thing. If they're good friends then why are they fighting?"
Just then another call went on the answering machine.
"Hey, It's me, Tk. Kari, what did you do with my hat? That was my lucky hat! Sure I've got ten more, but that one's my favorite! Did you give it to Cody?"
Kari smiled. "Oops."
@@@@@@@@@
Mr. Kanimasa fumbled into his house. He kicked the door on his way in. " They fired me! They fired me! Why, because they said I was drunk this morning! They fired me. Dammit! I need a drink." Mr. Kanimasa scanned the room. "Where are you woman?"
"I'm here, honey." A woman crept out from the corner of the room.
"This is all your fault! " Neerin's father raised his hand in the air as a notion that he was going to slap his wife. Mrs. Kanimasa put her arms to her face waiting for the blow.
Mr. Kanimasa blacked out at that moment.
"Neerin, wet some cloths for me. Get him some water for when he wakes up. I knew he was too drunk this morning." Mrs. Kanimasa took a pillow from the couch and put it under her husband's head.
Neerin returned with the things his mom told him to bring. "Here."
"Thank you."
Neerin stood there with hate in his eyes. He was looking at his so called father. The one that beat his mother up almost every single day. "Why do you even bother doing this? Just let him die."
"Neerin!"
"All he's done is made our lives a living nightmare! Why do you still care about him?" Neerin asked angrily.
" For better or for worse. In sickness and in health..till death do us part. He's my husband. He may not love me, but I still love him with all my heart. He may beat me till I die...I'll still love him. Maybe someday he'll realize that. I'm committed to him no matter what. I made a vow, I'm going to keep it."
"How can you love him when he doesn't even love you?"
"Love isn't always two wayed. Loving goes deeper. Somewhere in your father's heart, beyond his drunkenness, he still loves us very much. Someday, you'll see. "
Mr. Kanimasa stirred a few times as he gained consciousness.
"Owww." He groaned. "My head, Hatsue...it hurts." He touched his forehead where his wife's hands were wiping away the sweat with a damp cloth.
"Here, drink some water, dear."
Mr. Kanimasa grabbed the cup and took a sip. "This isn't beer.." he said.
"I know, it's water. If you have any more beer, you're going to be very sick, Munetoshi. " Mrs. Kanimasa replied.
"Unhh....my stomach hurts too. I think I'm going to....."
Hatsue grabbed the waste basket and put it under her husbands chin. She was right on time. Munetoshi threw up his beloved alcohol.
Neerin walked away in disgust.
(.*.)(. *. )( .*. )( .*. )(.*.)
" This is the Takenouchi residence. I'm sorry, we're not home at the present time. Please leave your name and number and we'll get back to you. Thank you."
"Beep."
" Sora, it's me, Tai. Look, I kinda blew my temper today. Meet me at the park at six kay? Or I can walk to your house and take you there. It is getting kinda dark...."
Sora hesitated, but picked up the phone. "Tai?"
"Sora?"
"Yes?"
"Can you go to the park?"
"Yah, I guess. I'm really sorry Tai, I..."
Tai cut her off "Let's say our sorrys in person. Meet you there soon okay?"
"Kay."
Sora grabbed her coat and started on her way to the park. Her mind was a jumble of things right now. She couldn't decide if this was going to make things better or not. She had already told Tai that she was coming and that was what she was going to do.
Tai was already there. The guy is always running places. I wonder what we had to meet for.
"Hi, Sora."
"Hi, Tai."
"I'm, really sorry!" They both said at the same time. Tai and Sora smiled.
Tai held out his hand," Forgiven?"
Sora stuck her hand in his. "Forgiven."
Sora looked into Tai's eyes. "If we're best friends, then why do end up fighting so much. Tai?"
Tai grabbed Sora's other hand. "That's the point. I don't want to be your best friend anymore,"
Sora changed her expression to a sad one.
"Sora," Tai said looking her strait in the eyes. I don't want to be your best friend, I want to be more than that to you."
"Tai..."
"I admire you, Sora. The way you talk, your "carrot" hair, your charming personality...I love you Sora. Maybe not a love love...all I know is that it's not a like, it's a love. You don't have to love me back, but if I didn't tell you this tonight, I think I'd go crazy-keeping it to myself and not telling you. Will you love me, Sora?"
"Tai, We're sixteen, we don't know what love is.. Besides, I cant love you.."
Tai was shocked. "Why?"
"Love is devoting one's heart to someone,.....*deep breath* mine isn't fully devoted to yours. " Sora said softly.
"You like Neerin too, don't you?" Tai asked.
Sora nodded slightly. She turned around and started walking away.
Tai quickly caught up. "I'm not pushing you to love me, Sora. I just wanted to know. I'll learn to understand if you pick Neerin. After all, like you said about a week and a half ago, "Taichi, I can take care of myself." Tai half smiled at his friend. "I've got to go home now. "
"Bye."Sora whispered. She turned the opposite way of Tai and headed for her house.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Class, calm down. As everyone knows, winter break is coming up. Just one more day of school. You can have as much fun as you want at vacation, but right now, pay attention to your work!" Mr Fijoki said madly.
"Hey, where's your Christmas spirit?" A student called out.
"I haven't got one, now do your work. Sora, I need to talk to the principle quickly. Watch my stuff." Mr. Fijoki said grumpily.
"Yes, Sir." Sora answered.
"Oh, look at the teacher's pet!" A guy teased.
"It's better to be a teacher's pet than to be the teacher's pest." Sora told him. "Do your work like he said. I'm almost done."
Neerin thought about it. Today was the last day till winter break. Today, he'd take Sora. No one would know what happened.
Sora and Jina walked down the hall.
"So," Jina said. "Wanna go to the mall afterwords, Sora?"
"Nah, I'm all done with my shopping for a while. Oh, I just remembered that I left my notebook in the computer room! I'll go get it. Have fun at the mall Jina! "
Sora went into the computer room. "There you are!" Sora went to go pick up her folder. Just then Neerin crept up to her. Sora gasped in shock, but saw who it was.
"Oh, it's just you, Neerin." Sora said relived. "You scared me."
Neerin grinned evily. "I should."
