Chapter 4
A/N: Sorry for the wait- had TONS of tests and stuff to deal with. The good thing is I did well on all my Japanese tests :) and I'm here with a new chapter!
It's a win-win situation! So Yeah! It's also practically the weekend, so of course another plus!
However on a negative note- I've run into relationship problems- seriously I am sooo tempted to swear off all men - but the alternative isn't that appealing… ^_^; Well I guess it's not so much of the guy's fault- more like a girl's fault for causing my a headache… I have to get my stress out somewhere so I decided to type…
Well enjoy!

Sora walked out of the small apartment that she and her mother shared all decked out in the outfit Mimi brought over. Grabbing a wrap for her shoulders, she began the walk to the pizza parlor that her admirer had text messaged her to meet him at. The place was a little dressy so her outfit would work perfectly.
Her thoughts were a jumble as she looked up into the night's sky.
'What if I don't like this guy?' She wondered. She had never had to turn someone down that was this obsessed with her… 'Will he be ok with that… what if… what if he becomes a stoker or something?' she continued to think. However, something was bothering her more and more. What if she actually liked this guy too? 'What would I tell Tai…' Sora frowned at that idea most of all. 'But wait- he won't care… he's never seen me as more than a friend…I've got to get over him and move on.'
Pulling her wrap tighter around her bare arms, Sora quickened her pace as it began to sprinkle.

The phone ringing woke Taichi up from his nap on the couch. Rolling off the cushions, he fell to the floor in a disheveled mess when the phone wouldn't stop ringing.
"I'm coming, I'm coming… geez." He grumbled as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and crawled over to the phone. Outside the sun had already set and a night rain had set in. "Sure glad I'm not out there." Tai said as he picked up the receiver.
"Tai?" came a frantic voice on the other end.
"Matt? Is that you?" Tai asked. He recognized the voice to be his best friend but the cellular connection was a bit fuzzy.
'Tai… where are you?"
"What? I'm at home… what do you mean?"
"NO! Tai…what have you been doing all night long?" Matt asked. Tai could tell that he was very mad. But he didn't know why.
On the other end of the line, Matt was sitting at a little café across from Mimi watching the rainfall down in waves.
"SO? Are they a couple yet?" Mimi smiled as she put her hand on her blonde boyfriend's hand.
"Mimi- there's a problem… Tai? Why aren't you at the pizza parlor, like we agreed?" Matt said in a mixture of worry and anger.
"I fell asleep- it's not a big deal, I mean you didn't miss me. I heard Mimi's voice-so she's there to keep you company." Tai yawned as he ran his hand through his unruly locks.
"Tai you don't get it at all do you?" Matt nearly screamed. "Man, this is bad… Mimi quick- get Sora on your phone." He said turning to look at the love of his life.
"What? Why would I need to call her? She's with… oh no… NO! Don't tell me he didn't go…" She pleaded. Sighing with disgust at the look on Matt's face that told her she was right, Mimi pulled out her phone and dialed Sora's number.
"Sora? Is she there with you?" Tai's voice picked up at the sound of her name. He got no response from Matt just a commotion on the other end. It sounded like the two were franticly arguing about something.
"Matt? Hey Matt?"
"What Tai?" Came Matt's voice- he was definitely worried now.
"What did you say about Sora? I thought she was on a date with her secret admirer?" Tai asked.
"You idiot! Tai there was no secret admirer! Mimi and I planned the whole thing to get you jealous and act on your feelings for her… but you didn't so we stepped it up a notch and created a situation where we could get the two of you to meet on a date."
"What?" Tai asked again, not understanding everything that had just been explained.
"Did you get a hold of her?" Matt called over to Mimi.
"Nothing- she's not answering her cell, and her mom says she's not at home." Mimi said in an extremely worried voice as she looked outside. The wind and rain was pounding down hard as lighting light up the sky.
"We've got to find her then." Matt said as he stood up.
"Matt? What's wrong? Tell me! What's wrong? Where's Sora?" Tai was becoming frantic now not knowing what was really going on. It was finally sinking in what Matt had said about the fake admirer… he and Mimi had created all the love letters and messages. A wave of relief washed over him that Sora was still his… well not really his, but close enough… However, the sense of relief was quickly ended as the storm outside demanded attention with a flash of lightening that illuminated the sky and thunder that shook the whole apartment.
"Tai- we need to find Sora." Matt said on the other end.
"What?" "Tai- when I wanted you to meet me for pizza it was suppose to be Sora you would have run into at the pizza parlor. Sora's out in the storm… we don't know where she is!" Matt said slowly so his friend would be able to understand quickly.
"What? You had Sora going out in this weather? What were you thinking?" Tai said as he ran to the closet and got a raincoat.
"Well we thought you would be there waiting for her! But you fell asleep. Look- we don't have time for this- she's been out in the storm for about an hour. We need to find her!"
"Ok, ok- where did you say she went to?" Tai asked as he practically ran out his door and into the storm.
'Damn it! Matt why? Sora… where are you?' He asked as he ran out into the cold and wet night.
-
She was cold… no make that freezing. Her cloths were totally soaked and her wrap didn't do her any good now. She tried to push her way through the blinding rain in her now bare feet. Those shoes were just not working with the rushing water in the streets and on the sidewalks.
This was so ironic… stood up on a date with someone who supposedly loved her and it was raining. She use to love thunderstorms like this, but never had she been in the middle of one all alone. And to make matters worse, she was probably lost and frozen. Nevertheless, she trudged on. She had one place in her mind that was always safe and warm… and she wanted to get there more than anything in the world… she wanted Tai. Even if he was just a friend, always a friend- it was still better than having nothing. And so as he body shivered, she was determined to get to him… because was the only one who could help her and her hurting wounded heart.

A/N: This story has to be one of my shortest fics- it's almost done! Probably one more chapter of plot worthy stuff and then on to the fluff! That's what you all are after, ne?
Anyway just some randomness right now- typing sure did get out my aggressions ^_^
Kate is very good when she is in a non-lethal mode! So keep her happy with reviews ;)
Oh well thanks for the reviews by the way! And have no fear I will have many many many more Taioras to come :)
Ja Ne!
Quote of the Day:
(A really funny kid in my Japanese class said this- the entire class broke out into laughter and the sensee turned around and just stared at us after he said it- It's soooo funny I have to pass it on:
Watashi wa oishii desu yo.
For non-Japanese speakers it translates to:
I am delicious, I assure you.
Ok- so maybe it's not so funny just typing it- but seriously the way he said it was hilarious!
Kate is going to get sleep now… just one more day and it's the weekend! I can make it!
