Chapter Seven
Depression on both sidesDISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this story
AUTHOR NOTE: Wow I never expected that big a response to this story. I'm glad you're all enjoying it, that's why it's up there. Here is chapter 7. I think this story will have about 12 chapters, maybe a epilogue, I'm not sure but it's beginning to wind down now. I do have the perfect plan after all. But don't worry I've discovered that I really do like writing Taito fics so this will not be the last by any chance.
I'll get chapter 8 up as soon as I can but I wanna update a few others first like my Gundam wing and Dragon ball z stories… Oh And my other two Taito stories, so look out for when this gets updated. Anyhoo enjoy.
"What can I do Kari, it's not as if Matt is Mimi or someone like that, it would be easy if he was cause then I'd take him shopping"
"Everyone knows Yamato hates shopping" Tai stopped his pacing to glare at his sister who sat on his bed, hands neatly positioned on her lap as she looked at her agitated brother with a hint of humour in her brown eyes
"I know that" he replied putting his hand through his already messed up hair "I am his best friend after all… well I was" he groaned again and began pacing his room again, Kari gave him a sympathetic look, they had been here for a few hours, Tai throwing forward suggestions which Kari turned down. She knew now exactly what Tai did and even she knew that it would take something extremely special to make it up to the blond. She had an idea in her head but until she knew more about the extent of Yamato's rage she wasn't going to suggest it. She hadn't seen Tai this worked up for quite the while, he was always hot headed but he never seemed to learn his lesson. She just hoped that maybe he would now.
"Firstly Tai" she said calmly "Stop pacing the floor you're wearing the carpet down and I don't think Mum would be too happy about that so you?" Tai stopped and looked automatically at the navy blue carpet which looked fine to his eyes "Come and sit by me" she commanded now, Tai sighed and did as she said resting his elbows on his thighs and staring in front of him with an expression that made Kari want to throw her arms round the older boy and comfort him, that wasn't going to happen though she knew. Though her and Tai were closed they weren't the hugging type of siblings
"What am I going to do?" he whispered and closed his eyes. He had always told himself that if the worse came to the worse than he could easily survive without Yamato Ishida. Well that was bullshit, it was just a shame that he found out when the blond wasn't talking to him how dependant he was on him. A hand lightly touched his forearm and he turned to see Kari staring at him
"What?" he said, she looked slightly annoyed but spoke calmly, she wasn't like him she always thought things through before she said anything. Tai groaned inwards why couldn't he have had that quality.
"I said have you tried to phone Yamato?" Tai nodded his head before looking away again to stare at something interesting on the wall.
"Only about 500 times, he picked up the first time and when he heard it was me he hung up the phone, after that his Dad picked up" he threw himself on the bed "I think Matt is taking this way too far" he said. Kari shook her head
"Don't shift the blame Taichi, you know this was your fault because of the science thing, not Yamato's" he glared at her
"You're not helping Kari," he said harshly turning away from her.
"Why because I'm refusing to pity you?" Tai sat up and looked at her though he remained silent "I'm sorry Tai I know you're suffering and I guess I'm not helping too much" Tai shook his head
"No Kari, I'm sorry it's all my fault you were just telling me that. So lets just get back to the problem at hand okay?"
"Ok" she said nodding her head. At that point the phone rang causing them both to jump, a second later there was a knock on the door and their mum looked round the doorframe
"Kari there is a phone call for you in the other room" Kari nodded and smiled at Tai
"Back shortly keep thinking ok?" she got a murmured reply as Tai looked down, depression filtering on his features. She walked quickly to the phone and spoke "Hello Kari here"
"Kari it's TK" a grin came to Kari's face at the familiar voice and she gripped the phone slightly tighter
"TK hi how are you? Enjoy your time with Yamato?"
"It would have been better if Yama hadn't been in depression the entire time, all I could get out of him was he argued with Tai. Karri what happened? I haven't seen Yama like this since he was 11, can you tell me?"
"You really have no idea?" she said in surprise, normally TK and Yamato told each other everything
"If I did then I would know what the hell to say to Yama, at the moment I'm grasping at straws trying to guess" Kari sighed
"Well it's the worse argument they had" TK's laughter broke her off for a second
"Probably not Kari" he chuckled "You weren't there to see Tai and Yama in the early days when he were stuck on plume island"
"Anyway TK" she said emphasising the words
"Opps sorry carry on"
"Well you know Tai likes Yamato more than a friend should?"
"Yeah it's obvious" came the reply
"Well he decided to protect Yamato from every threat including himself, Tai didn't want to be responsible for Yamato to be ridiculed or everything so decided to ignore him"
"What" TK said in surprise before going on "as if Yama would give a damn he's Tai's best friend that would be all he needed to know"
"Yeah well at the time he wasn't thinking that and so put his plan in action, as far as I know Tai was a bastard to Yamato all lesson and even went as far as to call him Yamato instead of Matt, Sora made Tai realise what a jackass he had been and when he went to apologies to Yamato"
"Yama told him to fuck off, yeah I was there. I guess it would explain a lot, Yama would have been confused about what he did to deserve that."
"Exactly, well Tai has gone into depression but I said we'd help properly, I kinda lied and said you rang me up before you did to make him talk to me because everything else me and mum tried was met with failure"
"That's fine" TK replied frowning as he listened to the voice at the end. It definitely explained a lot. Kari continued
"Well now we're trying desperately for a way to make it up to Yamato but TK what mood is he in? Can you work him round?" TK glanced into the room where his brother sat watching TK a frown on his face. He sighed and turned back to the bed
"He's in a foul mood but it's not beyond me, I can make him come but you should do it a different way. What's the plan?" Kari whispered it to him and he nodded "Yep I think that's the one to use, well done Kari, I gotta go because this is Dad's phone and I don't like wasting his money on it. I'll talk to you tomorrow ok?" Kari nodded even though he couldn't see it
"Cool I'll go and tell Tai now then we can start arranging it bye" she hung up the phone and clasped her hands together for a second, she'd get them talking even if it killed her. She walked back into the room to see Tai lying on his bed a frown on his face; he looked up at her as she entered
"Well?" he said, Kari smiled
"Don't worry Tai I've come up with the perfect plan that will make Yamato your best friend again?" Tai looked doubtful but shrugged, he had come up with nothing better so he might as well listen to it
"What is it then?"
There you go hope you enjoyed it, the next chapter will be the plan put into action… I thought that since it would take a while I'd give you a taster of the plot. Anyway please review it but no flames. Thanks
