~chapter eight: Resigning to One's Destiny
"Tai, I can't be your girlfriend anymore. I think you're too much preoccupied to have a girlfriend. Maybe you're just too confused and too naïve and inexperienced to have a relationship. And I think I just made a rash decision on saying yes to you.. I'm really sorry.," Sora told Tai that very afternoon. They were at the soccer field.
"What?" Tai was astonished. He didn't expect Sora to dump him after a little time.
What did she mean? I'm not good enough for her? How dare her! How could she reject me in just a short while?
"Tell me what's the reason. I'm sure everything will be just fine and I-"
"No, Tai. Please understand me. I don't want to be a second rate person in your life. Besides, I only said yes to you coz I."
"...."
".didn't want to hurt you. That's right. I didn't want you to be wound your feelings. It was just commonsense for me to attend to the first who came- you. But I love.. I love Matt more. He is the one for me. Please understand," Sora stated shakily. She took Tai's hand and continued, "Before you could get in a relationship you need to understand the other person's feelings. You were just too hasty in making a decision and so did I. You just scarcely learned how to manage your time and made me feel like I'm not wanted, or something. I'm really really sorry."
Sora knew she was in a precarious situation. But she had to abide her heart. She loved Matt. She had to stand up for it.
"Why? How did you just ditch me like that after just a short while? How could you be so ungrateful?" Tai demanded.
"But how could you be so insensitive and give me little importance?" Sora raised her voice.
"But."
.........Well, come to think of it, yes, I'm not really ready to have a girlfriend. I can't prioritize her.
After a long pause and a tense Sora, a blushing Tai finally replied,
"...Y-yes, I-I think so too. Maybe I'm just not yet r-ready for a relationship yet. I still can't manage my time," Tai admitted.
Sora hugged him and said, "I knew you would understand. Thank you."
Tai nodded and stroke her hair. "I'm sorry I couldn't meet up to your standards. I guess we weren't just m-meant to be."
"Er, don't worry. We could still just be friends, right?" Sora tensely asked.
Tai nodded.
Sora heaved a sigh of relief. She never knew it was that easy.
"I'll just resign to my own destiny now. I'll just take up courage to move on," Tai shakily answered, still shocked at the events. But then he knew he did a right decision. And so did Sora. She gave him one last hug of love before finally saying goodbye to him.

Matt met Joe at the park again on a Sunday afternoon. Matt was in a very pleasant mood when he called Joe over.
"What's up?" Joe asked Matt as they both sat sown on a bench.
"All I can say is, thanks Joe. You helped a lot," replied Matt. "Me? What did I do?" "Remember the conversation we had here in the park some weeks ago? Thanks to you, I found courage to find out the real feelings I had for Sora. I love her very much and so does she to me," Matt explained. Joe smiled and said, "Well, I'm proud of ya boy! I knew you could do it."
Matt then turned to Joe and said, "Oh yeah, I heard Mimi came from America about six days ago?"
Joe blushed. Just in time, a familiar figure came running towards them. A girl in pink. With weird hair. (Oh you don't have to be a genius to guess this one). Mimi.
"Hey there!" Mimi greeted them both, "I've been wondering what has been happening to you Matt. Oh yeah, I heard you and Sora are sweethearts now? Well congratulations! I met her just few hours ago. You know, I envy you." Matt nodded and said, "Thanks Mimi."
"Oh by the way, I've got a lot of stuff for all of you people," Mimi stated, "I brought about six boxes? And you know, one whole box is for Joe- just for him."
Joe smiled sheepishly. Mimi took hold of Joe's hand tenderly and said. "Come on, it's been a very long time since I left and I haven't seen you in years, so let's enjoy the time, mon cher." Now Joe turned deep red. Nobody called him "my dear" ever before.
"See, I told you denial won't help. Stick to your heart. Destiny as well," Joe said.
"Come on mi amor, we still have to go around and have fun. We could even meet old acquaintances. Oh hey, there's Sora!" Mimi told them.
Matt got up and ran towards his love. "Sora!" he cried. She kissed him as soon as they came close. "How're you?" Sora asked him. "Oh, just chatting with Joe and Mimi here," Matt replied.
Sora smiled and told him, "Why don't we go out tonight on a date?" "Sure," Matt replied. "But just make sure," Sora warned, "that you're not going to go anywhere except with me tonight, ok? I don't wanna be third rate in your life."
"Nah, sure. I'll always be there for you. After all, what did I love you for?"
Sora smiled.
"Oh hey Joe, why don't you give TK some of your advice? You know he's pretty unobtrusive with his feelings to his crush," Matt suggested.
"Well Joe," Mimi said sweetly, "are you unobtrusive with your feelings to me too?"
Joe smiled awkwardly. He turned to Matt, who was giving him a "you're the expert" look.
"Uh Mimi, can't we just go to somewhere private?" Joe recommended.
Mimi smiled and nodded. She took his hand and began to walk him somewhere far. Joe turned around and gave Matt a huge smile, a wink and a thumbs-up. ;-)
"So Sora, let's go? I'll bring you to your house. Then I'll pick you up at six thirty."
"Oh, Matt."
They both looked at each other and held each other and both said together the words, "I love you."

Ahh, finished. After a few days sneaking out of bed and working from 12 midnight to 2 in the morning (school days and a whole heap of projects more to do)-without anyone knowing it. Houjun Shuichi concluded his first story (I mean, her). Hi to Kouran, Hikou, Shenny G. Potter and Mairu-chan. Flamers, DON'T BE TOO HARSH!!! o Mercy on the scarred monk (Houjun, not Sanzo).
I luv Sorato. ;-) ('o,')
P.S. Really don't like Mimi but just put her in to add a little flavor in my story. Although I'm also Joe Kidou, I dislike her or her attitude. But I'm not saying I really hate her. But Jiyoumi is a nice couple (although they aren't an official pair). But I don't like Mimi. Although I'm Joe Kidou. You get my point? And, um Shenny and Mairu-chan. please be gentle! You know very much I don't like Mimi-just put her in my fic coz it needs a little zing. Don't tease me! (or else I'LL tease you on Kenkeru or Mimato-barf!) I didn't have a choice. After all, my mind was so blurry (what do you expect? I made this at dawn!).
