Ok, well here's the new update. Told u school wouldn't stop me from getting this story finished. Well, enjoy this one and I'll update soon.

8: Wednesday

Yamato awoke with a start. He was in his bed, in his room, in his apartment. He glanced around and noticed the sleeping figure besides him. He sighed and fell back against his pillow and looked at the orange strands of hair that fell in front of her face. He removed the hair from her face. He smiled down at Sora's sleeping face. He rubbed her shoulder and smiled at her.

"Onichan?" Yamato looked at the doorway and saw his brother staring at him from the doorway.

"Hey, what up?" Yamato smiled at his brother. Takeru looked over at Sora and smiled.

"Well, I see that you two had fun last night." Yamato shook his head.

"No, actually I just held her last night and we talked. You know, helped each other get ready for the finals and talked about why I should apologize to Taichi." Yamato rolled his eyes and moved the hair behind her ear.

"Wow, you really do care for her. I don't think I'd ever do that with Hikari…I haven't even really wanted to even sleep with her." Yamato looked at his brother surprised, but understood. Yamato had watched his brother grow up and mature into an adolescent that could have any woman begging for him, but then again that was the Ishida charm.

"Takeru, are you saying that you aren't in love with Hikari?" Takeru nodded. Yamato smiled. "Well, you better tell her now before she thinks that it's serious for you two." Takeru nodded. "You didn't have sex or go beyond kissing did you? I'm your brother and I won't judge you if you did- even if I actually just have had one partner, but hell that's me!" Takeru shook his head.

"I couldn't. I mean we tried, but I never could get it-you know" Takeru stood on his tip toes and Yamato chuckled.

"Well, that's understandable. Dude at least that's not a guilt trip waiting in the wings." Takeru looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I sort of ingrained in your head that when you truly were in love with a woman that would be the time you could get it up." Yamato smiled. (A/n I don't think that's possible, but hey I think it would stop a lot of teen pregnancies. Plus it's sort of a way to tell wether or not he/she's mister/misses right.) "For the longest time when you and Hikari started to date I would take a glance at your pants, and dude with the way I worded my saying, you would've been up when you guys held hands and it would hurt like a bitch when you kissed until you actually got her in bed." Takeru glared at Yamato, then smiled.

"Thanks, bro." Takeru turned and left the room. Yamato smiled and laid back on the pillow. Sora was still sound asleep and looked so angelic Yamato could resist to kiss her forehead.

As he pulled his lips from her head, Yamato sighed and wrapped his arms around Sora. Yamato looked down at the sleeping form of his love. Yamato smiled and closed his eyes to go to back to sleep.

Taichi sat at his normal seat in the café, his gynecology book in front of him. He looked up every few sentences to see who had entered the café. It had been three days since Yamato and him had fought and since then Faye had been trying to get him to apologize.

"Hey, sexy." Taichi sat up quickly as Faye's arms wrapped around him. Taichi looked at her and laughed.

"I thought that was my line." Taichi said and quickly took the hot cups from Faye's hands as she sat down besides him. Faye smiled and kissed Taichi.

"Hey, you love birds, get a room!" Faye and Taichi looked up to find Sora smiling at them. She was wearing a long sleeve red shirt, black cargo pants, black boots and a black, lace choker with a red cross dangling from it. She smiled as she put her backpack and trench coat on the table. "Can I sit here or do you two want a little bit of privacy."

"No, of course, take a seat." Taichi smiled as Faye finished her sentence.

"Sora, what's going on?" Taichi asked as he examined his longtime best friend. Sora looked at Taichi surprised.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked as she took her seat.

"Sora Takenouchi!" Taichi stared her down. "What are you hiding from us?!" Sora smiled happily.

"O.K., well you caught me. I'm sort of really hoping that you and Yamato would be willing to make amends before we took our finals." Taichi glared at Sora in disbelief.

"Sora-" Sora cut Taichi off before he could start his gripping.

"I'll tell you my plan when Yamato gets his ass in here." Sora said glancing at the door. Faye and Taichi glanced at each other and sighed.

~\/. /\_/\ .\/~

Yamato ran down the sidewalk hoping he wouldn't be too late. He wouldn't be able to get himself off the hook without a good reason, knowing Sora he would get a nice tongue lashing.

"Damn, Takeru!" Yamato muttered. After all it had been Takeru's fault. If Takeru had just waited a little while longer before reminding Yamato that he had a blind date on Friday, he would've been ok, but then after Takeru asked Yamato if his letter was ok for Hikari, everything got worse.

~~FLASHBACK~~

"Onichan, I know that you have enough stuff on your mind with the whole blind date problem, but I was kind of hoping that you'd read this and help me in the spots that I need help in." Takeru handed Yamato a letter that was addressed to Hikari. Yamato looked at Takeru in shock.

"A Dear John!?" Yamato was so surprised that he almost forgot the fact that Hikari was Takeru's first girlfriend and that Yamato had never really talked about he broke up with the few girls he dated.

"Well, if that's what you want to call it." Takeru looked at Yamato, hope filling his eyes.

"Well, Takeru, listen, I think that you should go and make arrangements with her to meet at a public area and do it tete-a-tete." Takeru looked at Yamato confused. "Listen, Niisan, I would explain, but I'm meeting Sora right now and I'm late already." Yamato turned and ran towards the café.

~\/. /\_/\ .\/~

Sora and Faye smiled as Yamato sat down next to Sora, he squeezed Sora's hand quickly beneath the table and smiled.

"So, what's going on?" Yamato asked quietly. Faye glanced over her shoulder and smiled as Taichi exited the bathroom and sat down in his seat. Faye immediately jumped on his lap and wrapped her arms around him. Yamato started to go, but Sora grabbed his hand and looked at him pleadingly.

"Sora?!" Yamato looked at her confused and sat down. Sora smiled and looked at them.

"Well, I was thinking that you three can get back on good terms over a dinner. A dinner in which I'll be very grateful to have you near me." Faye looked at Sora then Taichi. She was hoping that Sora wasn't talking about Friday night. Taichi and Yamato glanced at each other then narrowed their eyes.

"Continue, Sora." Yamato said in a normal, removed tone. Sora smiled and then glanced at Faye and Taichi.

"Friday night I've got a meeting with a guy. Faye and Taichi have planned to be at the meeting place already, so if they don't mind an extra body." Yamato looked at Sora regretfully and at the same time holding back the strong feeling of jealousy.

"I'm sorry, Sora, but I have plans Friday night." Sora looked at Yamato in shock.

"PLANS!?" Sora glared at him. "Youhaveplansanddidn'tdiscussthemwith-" Yamato quickly cut Sora off by dropping his tea on his lap.

"YAMA!!!" Taichi, Faye and Sora all screamed in unison. Yamato stared at the liquid seeping through his pants. He looked at Sora and sighed.

"I'll see if there's any way that I can postpone my plans, ok?" Sora smiled, her face bright from the embarrassment.

"Thanks, Yama." Sora looked at him them sighed. "Are you ok?" Yamato nodded.

"Sora, listen why don't you and Faye go get some paper towels for Yamato." Taichi said quickly handing Yamato the nearest napkin. Sora and Faye jumped up and started towards the bathroom.

"Yamato, listen, you must've gotten pretty pissed with this blind date. I've picked up the slight fact that I think that you've got a reason to not go to the date and I want to know what!" Yamato looked at him.

"Taichi, listen, I'm in the process of trying to get the guts to ask a certain girl out and this blind date is-" Taichi cut Yamato off quickly in a hushed tone.

"I understand, but I've known you since you were 11 and that I should get an explanation for your behavior!" Taichi paused and smirked at Yamato. He knew that the expression on his best friend's face was that of absolute guilt, making Taichi feel that Yamato was hiding something more that he was refusing to tell him. Taichi was beginning to think that the whole reason that Yamato had snapped was because of the upcoming date.

'Maybe he isn't into Sora the way I think he is.' Taichi glanced up at his friend's face and followed the stare of his eyes to Sora. She was walking out of the bathroom, but it suddenly dawned on Taichi what was different about her walk. He had seen the walk once before in Hikari after Takeru and her had first kissed, but of course it was his sister, of course he'd catch that- especially when he knew who the guy was. Taichi stared at the girl he'd known since he was a mere infant and it struck him- Love!

"OH MY GOD!" Taichi's jaw fell to the ground. Sora, Faye and Yamato looked at Taichi with raised eyebrows.

"What's up, dude?!" Yamato asked in a hushed voice. Yamato didn't remember deciding that he and Taichi should be friendly, but with the way Sora was trying to set them up to apologize- rather than damage their egos- they had just continued as if the outbreak had never occurred.

Taichi pointed an accusing finger at Sora and stammered in disbelief. "S-s-Sora!" All eyes fell on Sora then returned to Taichi in concern. "You're…You are in Love!" Sora's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Taichi, her face turned a bright shade of red.

To any by stander looking at Sora, they would automatically think that Sora was staring at Taichi, but to Taichi, Sora, Faye and Yamato they could tell that Sora was staring through Taichi straight at Yamato. Their

"quiet" section of the café was shattered as the manager walked up to Yamato.

"I'm very sorry, but you four have given us a lot of drama in one week and we're very sorry, but we'd appreciate it if you'd take your business else where. Thank you." The man waited as Taichi and Faye nodded then Yamato, who was walking towards Sora to catch her before she collapsed from shock.

"Yama…" Sora stuttered before she collapsed into his waiting arms. Yamato lifted her into his arms and motioned for Taichi and Faye to grab their belongings.

~\/. /\_/\ .\/~

Yamato stared at the cup of coffee in his hands. He was sitting in his and Taichi's kitchen, waiting for the Doctor to come out and tell them what had happened to Sora. Faye had insisted that they call a doctor, because of something Sora had mentioned earlier about feeling unwell. Faye was worried that Sora was coming down with a cold, but Yamato was really concerned that what Faye had taken as symptoms for the cold was, in reality, morning sickness.

Yamato prayed that Sora was just stressed and was healthy and not with child, because if she was pregnant he'd be killed by multiple people. Not to mention himself. He had no doubt that Sora had been faithful to him, which meant that she had to be pregnant with his child. Which meant that Yamato would have to do the right thing and marry her. It's not like he didn't love her, but he was afraid that they'd wind up like his parents and their children would be stuck in Takeru and his position.

"Well, Miss Takenouchi seems to be fine." Yamato looked up at the Doctor in shock. He had been so into his thoughts that he hadn't heard the Doctor exit his room. Yamato glanced around and saw Faye and Taichi sound asleep, curled up on the couch. Yamato smiled and stood up to shake the Doctor's hand.

"Thank you, sir. Do you know what was wrong?" The doctor smiled and nodded.

"This happens a lot. First year college students ending the year, normally get super stressed and any slight shock can set them off. She's sleeping at the moment and seems fine, but I would recommend that she see me in a month. I want to check on her to insure that everything's fine." Yamato nodded and opened the door for him.

Thanking the Doctor once more, Yamato shut the door and ran into his room. Sora laid on his bed. She was pale, but not sick pale, which was very good. Yamato shut the door behind him and slowly walked towards his bed. He sat besides her and positioned himself next to her so that he was holding her in his arms, but it didn't seem like he was if somebody walked into the room.

"Yama…" Yamato shot his eyes open and stared at Sora. He hadn't realized that she had awoken from her sleep. Yamato smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

"Hey, beautiful." Yamato whispered as he kept himself from kissing her passionately and stripping her down so he could make mad love to her.

"Sorry." Sora smiled at him. Yamato didn't know why she was saying sorry, unless she read his mind and realized what he wanted to do.

"Why are you apologizing?" Yamato asked with concern.

"I think Taichi caught on about us." Yamato chuckled and looked at the red mark on her neck. He had left it there about two nights earlier when Sora had almost sucked his nipple off. Yamato smiled at the memory. Yamato had started to fall asleep when he immediately woke up when he felt goose bumps cover his body. Sora's smile was that of a seductress at work. Yamato had turned around and sucked on her neck leaving his mark and smiling afterwards.

"I don't think so, just as long as he doesn't see that," Yamato pointed at her neck. "Or this," Yamato lowered his shirt, revealing his collar bone. Sora chuckled and kissed Yamato's hand.

"Good." Sora smiled as she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her head against his chest, then she listened to his heart beat and the rise and fall of his chest.

After a few minutes of silence, Yamato closed his eyes and kissed the top of Sora's head. "Sora, can I ask you something?" Yamato asked while keeping his eyes shut.

"Sure, shoot." Sora replied into his chest.

"Who are you meeting on Friday night?" Yamato asked and tightened his arms around her.

Sora was quiet for a few seconds then looked at Yamato's relaxed face. Yamato could tell with his eyes shut, that Sora was looking at him, so he slowly opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"Just a guy that Faye set me up with." Sora murmured. Yamato looked at her in shock. "It was after we started dating, Yama, but I couldn't get out of it! I swear, please, don't be mad at me." Sora paused and kissed Yamato's cheek. "Besides, what are your plans for Friday night?" Yamato sighed.

"Pending." Sora looked at him curiously. "What I mean is, Taichi planned something for me and I'm trtying to get out, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to, so I won't be able to go and chaparone your little meeting. Gomen." Yamato whispered in Sora's ear, his voice filled with regret.
