To Get Rid of Me

WARNING: This chapter contains Sora and Joe bashing. If you are offended with this or are their fans, LEAVE NOW, unless you are curious to know what happen. Read at your own risk.

Digimon does not belong to wisegirl. If she does, she will not let others share Ken Ichijouji; that means he's all hers. Unfortunately, she doesn't. ^^;;;

In last chapter, Matt found out that only he got SARS. In other hand, Tai told the other Digidestined about the news. But something was wrong, wasn't it?

Several notes:

***************** means change of situation.

(~Name~'s POV) – someone's POV.

Chapter 6: The Rejection

(Matt's POV)

It has been 5 days since I was admitted to the hospital. During this time, only Tai and Father managed to visit me. I was quite grateful for the time they spend to visit me, especially Tai because he's in Odaiba and I'm now in Mita. About 10 kms away from there and still he managed to share some of his time to me.

Sora? Even though she's my girlfriend, I don't think she thinks so as well. I miss her, but does she miss me? Don't think so. She flirts with almost every guy she can find and one day if she finds one, she'll leave me.

"I'll…take… *cough cough* inside, and throw it all away… coz' I swear… *cough cough* I won't trust myself with you… [1]" I heard Kaoru sang loudly in English, a language I hardly understand [2]. Wonder what song was she singing. She had been singing this half an hour and yet she hadn't finished.

Rei clapped her hands happily as the song finished, and the cassette recorder was now playing another song. The melody caught my ears as it began; it was the sound of a flute… I think it's a shakuhachi flute. Uhh, I mean Japanese flute.

Kaoru began singing again, this time her voice had changed to a lower, man's voice. "Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it, the number one question is how could you ignore it *cough cough cough* …rewind that, we're just rolling… [3]" Her style was like a professional rapper doing a stage performance. Well, except the coughing she made as she sang.

"Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me… but nobody's listening…"

I just listened to the song in interest until it finished.

************************************************************************

(Tai's POV)

From my previous visits, I noticed that Matt had slowly recovered. Still, Joe's sarcastic sentence still rang in my mind.

There's barely a chance for him to survive.

Shit! For a hundredth time since I heard that sentence, I punched the wall, releasing my anger. When I realised what I was doing, my fists have already hurt. Rubbing my hands, I continued my way to Odaibakaihin-koen Station [4], to get to Mita.

That was when I saw Sora with a guy. Hey, that guy looks familiar… I quickly hid myself and approached them slowly.

It was not long before I realized that the guy with Sora was Joe. Sora? With Joe? What about Matt?

Then when I saw them kissing, it hit me. Now I know exactly what Joe meant when he said it.

There's barely a chance for him to survive.

He wanted Matt dead, because he's in love with Sora.

There's barely a chance for him to survive.

He made Sora believed him, and bothered not to visit Matt.

There's barely a chance for him to survive.

And now they're in love.

Angrily, I approached the two, tapped Joe's shoulder and punched him right on the face. Sora was of course, shocked to see it.

"Tai!" Sora yelled angrily, rushing towards Joe who had now… fallen, like a clown. "What are you doing?!"

"You tell me what you're doing!!" I shot back. "You go out with him, and kissed him," I pointed angrily at Joe everytime I mention him, "Now tell me where are you going to put Matt!!"

The reply Sora gave then shocked me. "He's not anywhere in my heart," she said coldly. "Not since the beginning, not even now, and not in the future."

Joe was glad to hear that. But for me, I can tell that it's like a ton of bricks falling onto Matt. "How could you?" I demanded. "What if Matt knows?"

"Who cares?" came another shocking reply. "He knows that already. Why bother?"

I can't believe that it came out from a girl named Sora Takenouchi. I know she flirts with every guy she could find, but when it comes to Matt… how could she change so fast? This is not the Sora Matt knows. Not even the Sora I know. Standing in front of me now is a real slut who fucks every shit that comes to her.

"You're such a fucking little bitch, Sora," I cursed angrily before I went off.

************************************************************************

(Matt's POV)

"Why… should I care-e-e… 'cause you weren't there, when I was scared, I was so alone… [5]" Kaoru sang yet another song, this time it comes from a girl. Man, she sings in English very well. I bet if she's a real singer, she could be famous. Really.

Her song was cut by several knocks on the door. "Yamato?" I heard a boy called, and the door was opened, revealing Ken Ichijouji. "Hi," he greeted.

"Whoa, look who's here. The Wonder Boy!" Rei exclaimed happily. Kaoru said nothing, however; she just blinked at him.

"Meh." That was all she said.

In Ken's hands was a bouquet of flowers. "Sorry," he said. "I just don't know what to bring along with me." There were roses, daisies, and tulips…

"You don't have to bring this many flowers…" I quoted. "A visit is enough."

"Hey, Matt!!" Tai bursted in. "Oh, sorry, hi Ken," he said, as he saw Ken in this room.

"Hi, Taichi," Ken greeted back.

"So, what made you come here, young one?" Kaoru asked. I instantly remembered that Rei told me if Kaoru likes someone, she'd call him or her "young one". I chuckled. "What?"

"Nothing," I said.

Rei poked her elbow at Kaoru. "You like him, I know," she teased. Kaoru said nothing, but her crimson face told us everything. We laughed, thus making Kaoru blushed even more and turned to the window.

"I'm actually on my way to Keio University [6], so I decided to pay you a visit," Ken informed. "Anyway, I live closer to this place so why can't I go for a visit?" The others nodded, satisfied with the answer. "Sorry, but I have to go now. I don't really have much time. See you later." Aww… he comes and goes so fast. But that's still okay.

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

(Tai's POV)

Just now Ken came and now he had went off to Keio University. Hey, at least I'm not the only one to pay Matt a visit since he got infected with SARS.

Sora? That bitch. I don't know if Matt knows but I really need to tell him.

"Uhh…Matt," I began, trying to search for a suitable sentence to begin. "I want to know…do you care if Sora has another boyfriend?"

Matt stared at me, confused. "What do you mean?" The girls were also blinking.

"You know what I mean. If Sora has another boyfriend, what will you do?"

"Oh, me? Nothing." The answer surprised me. "She doesn't like me from the beginning, I know that. Why do you ask me that? Does she flirt with another guy again?"

I shrugged. "Actually, yes. With Joe."

"Ah, that bastard. Let them be," he stated. I never expected to get such an answer. The girls were silent. Maybe they were shocked.

"Why…should I care…" suddenly the blonde Kaoru sang. "'Cause you weren't there, when I was scared, I was so alone… *cough cough* Why… should I care… If you don't care, then I don't care, well I'm going anyway…" I knew she was trying to picture Matt's heart. Hey, I understand a bit English, you know. "It's a damn… cold… night… trying to figure out… this… life… won't you, take me by the hand take me somewhere new, I don't know who you are but I…  *cough* I'm with you… I'm with you… [7]"

I knew exactly what Kaoru wanted. Matt is rejected, and she wants me to accept him.

There, there. Several more chapters to go.

[6] Keio University is located near Tamachi, in Mita District. Well, I hope I got it right…

And for you Sora and Joe's fans out there, haven't I told you? So don't flame me or bomb me; you've been warned.

This chapter is longer than I have expected… keep it simple, baka!

Anyway, review please. Thanks a lot. -_-
