9: SHOPPING
Thursday afternoon. Sora and Yamato are at the mall for a group meeting.
Yamato looked at Sora from across the table. They were eating at Panda express, all twelve of the of the chosen children. It had been a while since they had all been together and now they were. Hikari and Mimi had called everyone and decided that they should all get together.
Takeru, who sat next to Yamato and across from Hikari, was paying close attention to his brother's behavior. He didn't know how Yamato was going to act. Takeru knew his brother and knew that something had happened yesterday to Sora, which meant that Yamato was going to be very protective over her, which was not a good thing for him to do.
Mimi watched as Sora and Yamato ate their food quietly. She had to see what they would do while they were together in a group atmosphere. Taichi had told Hikari about Sora passing out in the cafe and Yamato grabbing her. Mimi had received the news through the grape vine about Yamato and Sora change in behavior, so Mimi thought that it was the perfect time to get the group together and to see how the two victims were doing.
"So, TP," Daisuke started with a hint of anger in his voice. "I heard that you dumped Hikari-chan, is it true?" Takeru glared at Daisuke.
"What's it to you, Dai? You can have her now, but I'm not sure if Hikari would want to date somebody that looks like her older brother." Takeru snickered. Taichi and Hikari looked at Takeru in shock.
"Takeru, what the hell is wrong with you? I mean first you break up with me, then you act like an ass to Dai-kun, deciding who I should date and why I shouldn't." Yamato chuckled as Hikari glared at his brother.
"Takeru, come on, let's get out of here." Yamato stood up and placed his hand on his brother's shoulder. "You don't need to deal with her nagging anymore." Takeru nodded and stood up.
"Hikari, when I broke up with you, I said that I didn't feel that we should be more then friends and friends protect friends. So, yeah, I still protect you, because we're friends, but if you don't want to be friends just tell me." Takeru turned and followed Yamato out of the restaurant.
"Why the hell did you do that Takeru?!" Yamato asked and faced his brother after they'd walked a while. Takeru stopped and looked at his big brother. He didn't understand how Yamato could ask him that question. Daisuke was like Yamato's Taichi. They both like the same girl and yet only one got her. At least in Yamato's situation, Sora didn't have to have an immature ass after her.
"I don't know, Onichan. Honestly, I don't." Takeru looked at the ground as if looking at his shoelaces, but he was avoiding Yamato's ice cold glare.
"Takeru, you're fourteen years old and I'm not going to be there to get you out of every scrape and bruise." Takeru nodded. He knew this lecture all to well. Yamato was always like this to him when it came to Hikari and Daisuke.
"Yamato!?" Yamato froze at the voice and glanced over his shoulder. It was Jun. 'DAMN!' Yamato screamed in his head. "Yama!!!" Takeru watched in horror as Yamato took off in a sprint from Jun. Takeru smiled and turned to watch as Jun chased after his brother.
"Well, Daisuke came out pretty well compared to his sister, so-" Takeru was cut off.
"Takeru, listen, I need to talk to you." It was Hikari. Takeru looked at her and sighed. Eh expected to be beaten by Taichi from behind, but didn't find any attacks as he followed Hikari to the bench next to the water fountain.
"Yeah, what is it you want to talk about?" Takeru asked nonchalantly. Hikari looked him in the eyes and gasped. Takeru had drained all emotion from his eyes, the once happy, joyful eyes were dull and blank. This trick she had only seen on Yamato when…Hikari paused to think about when Yamato actually had eyes that people had a chance to read- Sora and Taichi.
"I want to talk about us." Hikari placed her hand on Takeru's. "I know that look, Takeru, it's Yamato's. You've done an excellent job at imitating it and now I'd like your attention." Takeru looked into Hikari's eyes and felt his heart melt as he saw tears swelling in Hikari's eyes. One stray tear rolled down Hikari's cheek, only to be caught by Takeru's thumb.
"Don't cry, Koi." Takeru and Hikari stared at each other for a moment. Takeru wasn't sure why he called her that. It was nickname he'd given her a while ago. Takeru smiled at Hikari who was moving closer to him. Takeru moved closer and flashed his childish smile.
"So, about us-" Hikari started.
"Yeah, us." Takeru brought his lips to Hikari's and wrapped her in a passionate embrace.

Sora and Mimi had gone into a store with Miyako, Jyou and Ken. Both men had decided that their girlfriends shouldn't be left alone in a clothes store if they could at all help it.
Sora looked at the little dress Mimi was staring at. It was a red, knee length, spaghetti strap dress. Sora sighed as she stared at the dress. She could just picture Yamato seeing her in the dress eating dinner with another man. She felt terrible shopping for something to wear for the dinner.
"Sora, what about this?" Mimi asked pulling the dress out. "Try it on, and please take off the choker." Mimi handed the dress the Sora, who took it and reluctantly went to try it on.
Sora looked at herself in the mirror, the dress looked very nice, but the choker didn't go. Sora removed the choker and examined her neck. The hickey was barely traceable and now Sora had to go out and show her best friend the outfit and pray she didn't notice it.
"Here goes everything." Sora placed some of her hair over the hickey, hoping it would blend in nicely. She stepped out and spun around for Mimi to see her.
"Wow! Sora, you look beautiful." Sora stopped dead in her tracks as Taichi joined the small group of her friends.
"Thanks, Taichi. That means a lot coming from you." Sora paused. "Why are you in here anyway?" Taichi smiled.
"Faye and I are meeting here, but on the way she saw a very familiar blond running like mad from a certain girl and my girl felt that she had to help the guy out." Sora chuckled and turned to go back into the dressing room, when she heard Yamato and Faye's voices. She looked at the entrance and watched them enter.
Yamato froze and looked at a dress besides him. It was a red dress that came down to the knees. It had no straps, but two pieces of string that tied in the back of the neck. Yamato smiled as he imagined Sora in it.
"Wow, Yamato, you have great taste, come on!" Faye grabbed the dress and raced it over to Sora. Yamato followed silently.
"So, have fun being chased?" Taichi asked in a smug voice.
"Listen, Taichi, I-" Yamato stopped as Sora walked up to him wearing the red dress. Yamato couldn't utter a word, Sora had stolen his breath. Yamato had the urge to run up and hand her a jacket so no other person could see how beautiful she looked at that moment.
"Hey." Sora said softly. Yamato gained his composure quickly and smiled.
"Damn, girl, what are you doing wearing that?" Yamato asked jokingly.
"It's for a dinner I have." Yamato motioned for her to turn around.
"You look great." Yamato said matter of factly. "Any guy looks at you the wrong way when you wear this and Taichi and I'll take care of him." Yamato smiled and Taichi grinned from ear to ear.
"Thanks, you two." Sora hugged Taichi quickly, then Yamato and turned to go try on another dress.
"Oh, shit!" Taichi looked around for Faye. "Babe, let's take him now." Taichi yelled over his friends' heads to his girlfriend.
"Oh, yeah." Faye smiled at Sora. "Have fun and get something nice. Trust me, the guy will love it." Faye turned and headed for Taichi, quickly hooking her arms with Yamato as she left.

"What is up with you two!?" Yamato asked as he was dragged into another clothes store. "I have enough clothes at home!" Yamato stated as Taichi handed Yamato a black button up shirt.
"Try this on!" Yamato sighed and removed his t-shirt and buttoned up the black shirt. "Good, now these!" Faye handed Yamato a pair of black cargo slacks and pitch black sunglasses. "And, Yamato, this time use the dressing room." Faye smiled at her boyfriend as Yamato closed the door to the dressing room.

Well, hope you all enjoyed that. I know I had to add the Takari in it, sorry to all the fans of Davis and those of you who love Jun (SHI-NE!!!!) Sorry, I don';t like the Motimiyas very much, so bear with me.
