RUNAWAY
Yagami Sora sighed as she listened to her long-time friend Kido Mimi chatter away to her about how Taichi had been gone for years, that she should really get back out onto the dating scene. The brunette looked at her friend & sighed. "Are you still pining over Taichi?" she asked, exasperated. "He left you 4 years ago! Move on!" Sora glared at Mimi. "I'm not 'pining over him'! I'm just not dating."
Mimi shot back "And what do you call crying yourself to sleep, moping around the house, & refusing every man who shows the slightest interest in you? Yamato has made it clear that that he still has feelings for you, & I know you used to be attracted to him." Sora sighed. "I'm not any more. I......" "Still expect Taichi to return," Mimi said triumphantly. "He's been gone for 4 years. He's not coming back."
Sora sighed, & glanced at the clock. "I'm gonna go to bed." Mimi exhaled loudly, & stood up. "Bye." Sora watched her leave, knowing she was offended, not caring. She was too tired to do anything but crawl into her warm bed. She quickly checked on Mitsuko, then went to sleep.

Sora shifted, then hit a warm body. She turned swiftly, & encountered a familiar, if slightly aged body of Taichi, her husband. She blinked, sat up, then shook him awake. The brunette stirred, stretched, then opened his eyes. Looking into them, Sora felt the familiar weakness, but she ignored it. "What are you doing here?" She whispered, to paralyze to yell, & some unparalyzed voice in the back of her mind went "You'll wake up Mitsuko."
Taichi blinked, then said "I'm back." He knew that Sora had every right to throw him out, but he could hope that she would just rage at him, give him the cold shoulder for a few days, then slowly forgive, partly for Mitsuko's sake, but mostly because he was still crazy about her. Sora stared at her husband, not sure what to do. "Start with the basics", she told herself, then asked "Why did you leave?"
Taichi replied "I wanted to experience the teenage hood destiny stole from us." Sora was stunned. "You left me to party & meet girls?!" She demanded angrily. "In a nutshell," the brunette answered nervously. Sora started to see red. "So you were getting wasted while your daughter wondered where her father was, having sex while your wife cried herself to sleep every night not know whether you were alive or lying dead in some ditch somewhere?!?"
Taichi stared at the redhead, helpless, only having one thing to say in his defence. "I didn't have sex with anyone." Sora huffed, the got up & left, saying "I have nothing to say to you."
