4: A Flashback Excuse
"SORA!!!" Yamato screamed again as he ran along the edge of the small beach below the hotel. "SORA!! PLEASE, SORA!!"
Mimi watched exhausted as her long time friend ran up and down the beach in search of Sora. It was about six in the morning and Yamato had been searching for her since about midnight. Mimi had helped, but after 30 minutes and the realization that she was getting dirty and sweaty and Mimi called it quits. Saying she would watch to see if she saw anything from the lifeguard's post.
"How can she not know how much he loves her?!" A masculine voice asked from behind Mimi. She spun around and stared at Taichi and Takeru.
"I know. It's sad really." Mimi sighed and returned her gaze to the beach.
Takeru stared off at his brother and sighed. He didn't want to comment on the reason for his brother's behavior. He knew that his big brother was head over heels for Sora, but he never would act on his emotions because of their asshole of a father. Takeru sighed and rolled his hands into fists at the memories that flashed into his mind.
~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~
A four-year-old Takeru smiled as his mother ran to answer the ringing telephone.
"Hello? Takaishi residence." Nancy Takaishi looked sad at the voice that spoke to her on the other side. Takeru cocked his head to the side and ran to his mother's side.
"Matt, it's ok, honey." Takeru smiled at the name of his brother. "Your dad's just venting about the divorce." She paused as Yamato spoke. "I know, honey. I love you, too, but you have to stay with your father." Takeru covered his ears at the sound of his brother sudden scream. Nancy winced and her facial expression became that of horror.
"Okasan?" Takeru asked in his small childish voice. He hugged his mother's leg and stared up at her. She stared at the receiver in a look that Takeru would learn was only to be shown when something was wrong with Yamato.
"MASACHI!!!!" Takeru flinched at the fear in his mother's voice. He never truly understood what had happened, but he did know that he got to go to Hikari's while she went to talk to Yamato and Dad.
~~The next day~~
"Hey, Squirt!" Takeru's eye flew open at the sound of his nickname. He saw his seven-year-old brother smiling at him. Yamato was wearing his board shorts and a Billabong t-shirt. Takeru noticed immediately that Yamato wasn't holding himself in his normal way, it was more like when he had come back from Pa-po and Gram's home in France and had broken his arm.
"Onichan!" Takeru jumped up and hugged his brother, who immediately recoiled at his brother's touch. "Daijoubo desu ka?" Takeru asked when he noticed his brother's movement.
"Hai." Yamato said with a smile. "You're just so strong, you almost smashed me, Squirt." Takeru smiled with pride up at his brother. Yamato smiled sown at him.
"Ne, Yamato!" Yamato spun around and faced his friend Yagami, Taichi.
"Nandi o, Taichi san?" Yamato asked as he stared at his friend's big mass of brown hair. Takeru noticed that Yamato's hair wasn't up like it usually was, instead it was disheveled and had flicks of red through out it.
"Are you gonna come to the game? Sora, Hikari and I are going and we need our second string leader there." Taichi flashed a smile knowing that he had just insured Yamato's presence.
"Hai! I'm sure that you'll have fun on the bench, Yagami." Yamato smiled and turned to Takeru. "You wanna come, Squirt?" Takeru nodded.
"Matt, honey, can you come here real quick?" Yamato smiled at his friends and little brother before running to his mother.
"Nani, Okasan?" Yamato asked as he smiled up at her. Takeru noticed some pain in his mom's face as she kneeled besides Yamato and hugged him.
"Honey, you can go to the park, but I'm gonna have to get Takeru at 2." Yamato nodded.
"When will you come back for me?" Yamato asked with a huge smile on his small, cherub face. Nancy winced and closed her eyes. Takeru and Yamato both cocked their heads to the side.
"Okasan?" Takeru and Yamato chimed simultaneously.
"My boys." Nancy hugged Takeru and Yamato to her. Taichi and Hikari stared at their friends and mother curiously.
"Takaishi-chan, why are you crying?" Hikari asked as she pulled away from the hug with her sons.
"Nancy?" Taichi's mom walked in and put a hand on her friend's shoulder as she stood up. "Nancy, you know it has to be like this. You don't have proof and you can't raise them both." Nancy sniffled as she faced Mrs. Yagami.
"Haru, I can't do this." Nancy bent down and lifted Takeru into her arms then stood back up. "Not again. I just can't let that ass win. He used me as the punching bag, but not my son! These are my babies!" Haru stared at her friend, tears falling down both of the women's cheeks.
"Okasan?" Takeru smiled and brushed the tears from his mom's cheek. Nancy looked at her youngest son and smiled.
"I'm ok, TK. I'm fine." Nancy said and kissed Takeru's small hand.
"Listen, you two get dressed for your game, you don't want to be late." Haru smiled at Yamato and Taichi. They were the same height, age, both had huge egos and both had younger siblings that they loved and protected when they had to. They were inseparable and they were like brothers, they even quarreled like brothers. If Yamato wasn't so French like his mother and more Japanese like his father, then he and Taichi could claim to be brothers. But, then again, his father was an asshole, and she hoped that neither Yamato nor Takeru would be like him.
"Taichi, can I borrow one of your suits?" Yamato asked as he stared at his best friend.
"Matt, remember, you left a suit here just incase something like this happened." Yamato smiled up at Haru and nodded his head.
"I forgot." Yamato grin disappeared as he noticed his mom talking to Takeru, who was now crying.
"ONICHAN!!" Takeru ran to Yamato and hugged him. Yamato flinched, but allowed his brother to hug him. Taichi stared at the two trying to figure out what was wrong with them.
~Park~
"Yama!" Sora smiled at the blond. "It's so hot, why are you wearing long sleeves?" Yamato looked at Sora and smiled shyly. He was either showing off, being the cool kid or shy when he was around Sora. Takeru had noticed that with in the first hour of meeting Sora when he was two.
"I just want to!" Yamato stated matter-of-factly. Sora glanced over at Taichi and smiled at him.
"Tai kun! Sora hugged her long time friend, then looked to the two others. "AWW! You guys brought Takeru and Hikari." Sora stopped when she looked at Taichi and Yamato.
"What's wrong, Sor?" Taichi asked as his friend stared at Yamato.
"I thought that you were staying with you dad. Why's Takeru here?" Yamato froze, his face went completely blank. Sora stared at Yamato, eyeing her friend. Even if she was seven she was mature and a "big girl" ever since her dad had to leave her on a trip for his job. He'd come back when she was eight for a few weeks then be home to stay when she turned twelve. Sora understood this and didn't mind it.
"OK, KIDS, GATHER AROUND!" Yamato and Taichi turned to their siblings and smiled.
"Stay here, you guys. Cheer us on, ok?" Taichi and Yamato said in chorus.
"O- tay." Takeru and Hikari replied in unison. The three friends ran to the coach and huddled with the group. Takeru and Hikari called their siblings names as they ran after the ball.
"Takeru." Takeru froze when he heard the deep voice.
"Otosan?" Takeru looked up at his father and stepped back. The small boy's body was shaking from fear as he stared at his father. Takeru didn't like that his father had hurt his mom when they lived together and whenever he wanted to hurt Takeru, Yamato would hide him and take the abuse. He lived with that torture the first two years of his life, then Nancy took Takeru on a vacation and when she came back after a month there was a note from Pa-po saying that he was disgusted in what he heard from his eldest grandson and had taken him to live in France and he would not be given back until their mom left their dad. Which she did and Yamato returned a year later with a broken arm from falling out of a tree.
Now, Yamato lived with their dad and Takeru thought that the hurting had stopped, but he was still terrified of his father.
"DAME!!!!ONICHAN!!!!" Takeru wailed as he felt tears pour from his eyes.
"Shush, TK." Hikari went over and hugged her friend.
"Hikari, let me take care of Takeru." Hikari glared at the man that was trying to take TK.
"NIISAN!!" Yamato ran up from behind and grabbed Takeru. Taichi grabbed Hikari and stepped a few feet back, so he could give Hikari to Sora. Sora took Hikari and then moved to take Takeru from Yamato, who was rolling his hands into fists, causing his knuckles to turn white.
"Yamato, c'mon we're going home!" Yamato shook his head.
"NO!" Taichi stared at the father and son, then turned and ran to where his mother was.
"OKASAN! Takaishi-chan!" Taichi ran up to them gasping for air.
"Tai, what's wrong, honey?" Taichi pointed in the direction of the field. Haru stared at her son.
"Oh God, no!" Nancy ran towards the field at top speed.
"Ishida-sempai." Taichi said as his mom stood up and watched her friend run towards her sons. Hikari, Sora and Takeru appeared besides Taichi looking shaken.
"What's wrong, Hikari?" Hikari looked at Takeru who was struggling in Sora's arms.
"ONICHAN!" Takeru wailed as he spread his arms in the direction of his family. Haru lifted Takeru into her arms.
"It's ok, TK. It's going to be ok." Haru stared at the little boy and waited for his blue eyes to return to normal, but they didn't, they remained cloudy and spilling gallons of water.
"Yagami-chan, can we go help Yama?" Sora asked as she pulled on the bottom of Haru's shirt.
"Let's all go. Taichi get your sister." Taichi picked up Hikari and followed his mom towards the arguing couple.
"YAMA!" Sora screamed as she saw him standing in his boxers. His torso, arms and thighs covered in bruises and cuts. She ran to him and stared at her friend in disbelief.
"Sor, move it!" Taichi bellowed as Masachi's hand connected with Yamato's head. Yamato stood his ground and glared at his father.
"Onichan!" Takeru screamed again and tried to get out of his spot, but found it futile. Sora and Taichi each took a side of Yamato and held his hand.
"We need to go." Taichi said. Yamato shook his hand.
"I'm no coward!" Yamato said, his face remaining blank of any and all emotions.
"What type of child does this? No, fucking child should look like this fucking kid. He's so damn retarded and it's all your fault! He's too much like you, Bitch!" Masachi glared at his ex wife.
"MASACHI, STOP IT!" Haru and Nancy both looked over their shoulder at the sound of Seto Yagami's voice. Haru smiled at her husband who stepped up to face the man that Yamato and Takeru called Father.
"Why the hell do you give a flying fuck, Yagami?" Seto glanced over at his son and his friends. He knew his daughter was safe with his wife, but his son was too close for comfort.
"Taichi, go to your mother!" Taichi stared at his father. Seto glared at his son and raised his voice to an order. "GO!" Taichi nodded and fled to his mother. "Sora, Yamato do the same!" Sora nodded and stared to leave, but stopped when Yamato tightened his grip on her hand.
"Yama, let's go." Yamato shook his head. Sora walked to his side and looked at the blank face that stared at her. The azure oceans were cold and forbidding as she stared at him. He looked at her and smiled quickly, allowing his defense to fall for a second. He nodded and followed Sora to his mother, brother and friends.
Haru and Nancy tried to stop the children form seeing it, but they couldn't cover Yamato's eyes. In fact, they couldn't move Yamato. He kept his hand interlocked with Sora's, but watched as his father and Taichi's yelled at each other, occasionally using their fists.
"Oh God, Haru, Gomen nasai!" I can't believe he would do this just to get Matt back." Yamato looked at his mom, then at Sora who stood besides him, staring in shock at the two men. Yamato leaned over to Sora and whispered her name into her ear. She looked at Yamato and smiled at her friend.
"When'll this stop?" Sora whispered.
"Soon." Yamato glanced at his father and sighed. "Watch Takeru for me." Sora stared at Yamato in shock. Yamato smiled his million-dollar smile and pecked Sora on the lips before letting go of her hand and starting towards the quarreling men.
"YAMATO!" Nancy screamed as she watched in horror as her so ran into the fight.
"Onichan!" Takeru screamed as Seto and Masachi's fists smacked into Yamato simultaneously. Yamato gasped as he fell to the ground. Seto froze in utter shock at what he had done, but that was enough time for Masachi to grab Yamato and leave.
That was the last time Takeru saw Yamato until they went to summer camp four years later.
~~~END FLASHBACK~~~
"Yama?" Sora opened her eyes as she looked around the dark room. She felt a strange presence near her. She looked to her right and saw a pair of glowing silver eyes and a pearly white smile.
"Welcome to my humble abode, Love." Sora screamed as the figure moved towards her. "Don't fear, we're together now."
"NO!!!" Sora screamed in terror as she felt a pair of arms snake around her petite body. "YAMA!!! TAI!!!!" Sora tried to get out of the grip, but the only thing she felt was a pair of lips being pressed against hers.
"What's wrong, Love?" The light flickered on and Sora stared at the face that looked at her in complete shock.
"Oh God." Sora gasped.

Wow another chapter done. Well, do you like, please R&R. I know that was a long flash back, but I had to get that little bit of Sorato in it. It's Takeru's proof of what his brother felt, sadly its obvious that Taichi and Hikari completely missed it. Yeah, well, I better go start the next chapter. Till then, ja ne.
