"It was nothing!" Sora desperately tried to explain to her father.
"You're 16 and I believe you are more mature than that." Mr. Arai said
"But Ojii-san! It's not the Meiji Era anymore! And I'm not that stupid to let him do anything to me!" Sora uttered
"Arai, please listen to our daughter, it's just a mere incident. I trust Sora with my life, Arai and I believe that she wouldn't do anything dense," Mrs. Takenouchi said defending her daughter.
Mr. Arai paced around the room. His face was red and it was clear that he was still angry.
"Besides I think Ishida is a nice young man and The Ishidas' families are one of the well respected families in Odaiba." Mrs. Takenouchi expounded.
Mr. Arai stopped pacing and looked down at Sora. Sora felt like a dwarf, she was waiting for her penalty.
'I wish my martial art skill could help me in this kind of situation,' Sora turned around and grabbed the remote control, turning on the TV. Sora gasped seeing Yamato on top of a building.
"Oh my god! What is he doing!" She yelled.
Mr. Arai and Mrs. Takenouchi both looked at the TV as the newscaster explained, "New teen Idol lead vocalist Yamato Ishida of the Teenage Wolves is standing on top of a building in and attempt to kill himself. Rumors has it that he is on drugs and he had a little overdose." The newscaster rambled on as the camera focus on Yamato jumping and yelling on top of the roof.
Sora shivered in fear, was she worried? For him?

"Baka! I'm not killing myself you Moron! You fuckin reporters are the biggest liar I have ever met!!" Matt cursed. 'He was actually up there to enjoy some fresh air! What else would you do if you were caught by your girlfriend dad making out with her in the washroom! Oh my God! Now I'm going around saying she's my girlfriend!' He said slamming his head with his fist.
He looked down to see fans begging him not to jump. Matt managed a coy smile as he looked down at them. 'They actually think I'm gonna jump do they?' He thought. 'Well… it won't hurt if I play along would it!' Matt thought devilishly. Matt climbed up the edge of the building and started walking and jumping on it.
The fans gasped and screamed and shouted at his every move.
And he was partly enjoying it.
A car arrived in front of the building and he saw Mr. Arai came out of it. A couple of bodyguards shoved the fans away. Mr. Arai brought out a speaker and yelled to me.
"Yamato listen to me! Please calm down!" He said.
'Don't tell me he'd fallen for I'm-going-to-kill-myself joke I acting up,' Yamato laughed and hold his head.
"Please come down of the building!" He said.
'Maybe I should scare them a little bit more.' He thought as he sat down on the edge leaving his feet dangling down the building. The out of no where, he saw Sora standing behind her father looking up at him. She looked worried, like she's going to loose something precious to her. She was actually worried for him. For the first time her cold exterior vanished, and was replaced by a gentle look. She looked like the girl he's been looking for all his life. Matt reached out his hand, then he felt the wind slowly pass through his face. Everything moved in slow motion, the crowd yelled as Matt went airborne. The light from the skyscrapers shined around him, making him feel like he was in heaven.
Then the impact came. He felt the pain surged through his body. He opens his eyes and everything was blurred then he saw a patch of red in front of him. Hot salty liquid trickled down to his face as everything went black.

Matt walked down the street with a pack of literature book wrapped carefully in his hands. He adjusted his large thick glasses, and looked up when…
*SLAM*
Taichi Yagami ran away with a baseball bat in his hand. Yamato fell down to the floor. His book scattered on the road. Then he felt a sharp jab on his back.
"Yagami!!!" I'll gonna kill you!!!" A voice yelled.
Matt looked up to see a red haired girl stepping on him with he soccer shoes. The girl looked down, then her look softened. She offered her hand to him. Yamato smiled and gladly took her hand. "You ok?" The girl asks. She looks awfully familiar to him he'd seen her somewhere before.
"I'm fine, thank you." Matt said picking up his scattered books.
"You're Yamato Ishida right?" She said with a sweet smile that lighted up her face.
"Yeah! How'd you know?" He asked as they started to walk down the path together.
"You know, words travel around." She noted.
"And you are?" Matt asked her.
Sora bit her lip, 'He can't remember,' she said as her eyes narrowed down.
"I'm Sora… Takenouchi!" She said cheerfully.
"Well my house is just around this corner. See ya!" Matt said as he waved at her heading towards an apartment.
