At long last Chapter 6!  And I bring you a Sokeru/Daikari ending!

*gets covered by flames, but steps out unharmed*

Just kidding!  By popular demand, it is a Takari/Taiora ending!

Now, Chapter 6, Saturday - Apologies and Triumph! Pre-Dance Jitters! (Part 1)

----------------------------------------------------

In the Takaishi apartment was the Chosen Child of Hope, Takaishi Takeru.  But right now, he was fairly melancholic.

"I guess Hikari would rather have Daisuke..." he said.

"Don't say that!" said a voice from the door.  It was Sora, who apparently had spent the night there... Mimi had covered for her.  "You know you are one of the greatest people out there...  but I bet you are number one in her heart." she comforted.

"Maybe, or maybe not."  Sora glanced at the clock.  It was 8 AM.

"Well, it's two hours before we have to meet in the arcade..."

"I need to think."

"Okay then."  Sora left his room while Takeru got onto his bed again.  From under the pillow he pulled out a picture.  It was of him and Hikari at a dance.  Taichi and Yamato somehow snuck in and got a picture of him dancing with her.  And somehow, Takeru stole this from them.  His and Hikari's hands were laced together, dancing to a soft beat...  Then, he slid the picture back, and stepped outside, where Sora was waiting with Taichi, Hikari and Daisuke.  Taichi and Daisuke couldn't hold back their laughter.  Hikari blushed, while Sora's face remained unchanged...

"Geez TL, get some clothes on!"

"Huh, what...?" Takeru looked down and saw he had only his boxers on.  He dashed into his room and put on something more... reasonable.  He went back out, where they all started to talk.

"Hey TK, what's that on your lips?" Taichi asked.  He pointed at Takeru's lips.

"Huh?  What?"

"There's a pink smudge on them..."  A red tint went up Takeru and Sora's faces, while Sora looked away to hide her pink lips.

"Er... right.  Anyways..." he looked to Hikari and Daisuke, who were holding hands, smiling at each other.  "So, how are you two... doing?"  He said, straining to get the last word out.

"We're fine, Takeru."

"Yeah TS, my girlfriend and I are okay."

"G-G-Girlfriend!?" said Takeru, Taichi and Sora all at once.

"Yes..." both Hikari and Daisuke said, red flooding their cheeks.  Just then, Takeru zoned out in disbelief.  No.. it can't be...  "It was on Thursday... when it happened... when Dai comforted me, when I ran off from here...  He said he loved me, and I found that I loved him too..." Hikari said.  Takeru jaw dropped.  Daisuke lived up in the moment.

"Yeah... she said about how you expected too much from her, about..."

"Dai, can I speak to you outside for a moment?  Privately?" Takeru interrupted.

"Sure."  They both walked outside and Takeru shut the door behind them.

"I wonder what he could want with Dai..." Hikari said to Taichi and Sora.

"Who knows?" Taichi answered, resting against the couch.

Outside...

Takeru had just shut the door and turned to Daisuke.  Soon, he lunged forward and gave Dai a right hook straight at the face, which had come unexpectantly.  Dai skidded back a few feet before wiping the blood from his mouth.

"Why the hell did you do that for?"

"For making my life miserable!" Takeru shouted as he lunged forward with another right hook, that Dai blocked.  Then, he made his counter by sending his free arm right into Takeru's stomach and canceling it into an uppercut, while letting go.  It caused Takeru to fall to the ground.  He got back up and rushed at Daisuke, leg sweeping him and shoving him into the wall.  The loud bang aroused the attention of the three inside, as they scurried out the door, and came upon a gruesome sight.  Takeru was bleeding from his nose and mouth, and Daisuke the same, but it was much worse for him.  He was pinned against a wall, Takeru holding him up with his left arm, and was about to give a hard right hook at Daisuke's face, when the door had opened he was inches away from knocking him out.

"TAKERU!?" Hikari yelled as she ran forward and slapped Takeru in the face before attending to Daisuke.  Takeru stood there dumbstruck.  His eyes were widening, and his vision became more clouded.  He felt Sora's arm coming around him, and Taichi's arm outstretched for his shoulder.  Apparently they had distanced themselves from Hikari who was nursing Daisuke.

"Don't worry man, this ain't over." Taichi said.  Takeru touched the point where Hikari had slapped him, and tears silently fell.. never to be heard.  "We have to get going... we're almost late.  They all reluctantly walked to the Arcade, Hikari and Daisuke in front, Taichi Takeru and Sora walking behind them.  Takeru winced at everytime he saw Hikari and Daisuke flirting.  They had made it time, while miles away, in the Takaishi Apartment, the timer went off, signaling the 24 hours had ended...
