Part 4

Tai woke up to see his mother and Sora looking down on him.
He moaned, and looked around...it was his room.
"Wha' happen?" Tai mumbled. Sora smiled.
"You sound like a baby," Sora giggled. Mrs. Kamiya placed
her hand on Tai's forehead.
"Oh dear...it's worse this year. I don't have time to look
after you this week Tai...You know me and your father are going to
Nagasaki for two weeks tommorow. I thought you'd be better by
now....oh my..I'll have to cancel-"
"Mrs. Kamiya, don't worry. I'LL take care of him," Sora
interupted. Tai birst into a coughing fit then, and fell out of bed.
Mrs. Kamiya and Sora sweatdropped as they helped him back up in bed.
"SHE'LL KILL ME!!!" Tai shouted, without thinking of course.
Sora frowned.
"But, Sora...you have school.." Mrs. Kamiya said.
"It's alright. My grade average is 97% so far. I can miss
a few days. I'll ask Mimi and Matt to bring our homework in," Sora
smiled. Mrs. Kamiya looked happy as hell.
"You're a wonderful girl Sora, it would be wonderful to have
you in the family," Mrs. Kamiya smiled. Tai broke into another
coughing fit, and fell off the bed again. Sora helped him back into
bed.
"MOM!!! You say that about EVERY girl!!" Tai said.
"No I don't...what are you trying to cover up, young man?"
Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"SHE'S....ah screw it...." Tai sighed, and layed back down.
"I'll arrange it with the school Sora...I'll call your mother
as well," Mrs. Kamiya got up, and left the room. Sora looked over at
Tai, glaring at him.
"I'm not going to kill you, you stupid jackass," Sora argued.
Tai stuck his tongue out at her.
"Why the hell are you gonna take care of me anyway??" Tai asked.
"You are so DUMB!!! I was worried about you, you idiot!!!"
Sora yelled. She broke into a BLUSHING fit. This was followed by an
awkward silence.
"S...sorry," Tai said. Sora looked away.
"It's okay....hey.. Tai?"
"What is it....?" Tai asked. Sora caught him off guard by
smiling at him.
"What something to drink?" She asked. He was silent..but
then smiled back at her.
"Ginger Ale? De-fizzed?" He asked.
"Coming right up," She said, and left the room. Tai watched
her go, smiling at her.
"Geez....stupid girl...worried about nothing," Tai mumbled.
Still smiling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You're WHAT????" Mimi screeched the next day when she and
Sora were at the mall (Saturday). Sora winced backwards.
"Staying at Tai's house!" Sora repeated.
"You're living in sin!!! That's not right!!!" Mimi shouted.
"No NO!!! Not like THAT!! His parents are going to Nagasaki
for two weeks today. His sister is at a convention, so I offered to
take care of him," Sora said. Mimi dropped all of her shopping bags.
"You mean...you two are official?" Mimi asked. Sora flushed.
"It's not like THAT either! We'll never be together Mimi. I
don't even like him as a friend!" Sora said, picking out a bathing
suit, and walking to the change room.
"B..but then why did you-"
"Because I like his mom. She's a nice person, she desearves
a break from her ingrate son," Sora said. Mimi smiled.
"So you say...look inside Sora, you'll find your feelings
somewhat different," Mimi said quietly. Sora didn't hear. Mimi
picked out a bathing suit to try on, and chose a change room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mama..." Tai moaned. Mrs. Kamiya sighed, as she came into Tai's room.
"What???" She sighed.
"When is my nanny getting here?" Tai asked.
"Sora is NOT your nanny, Tai,"
"I was joking....I can't believe that little bitch is-"
"She's a good person Tai, who's had it a lot tougher then
you! So keep that whiny mouth shut," Mrs. Kamiya said. Tai sighed,
and put his hands behind his head.
"Poor girl...without a father..." Mrs. Kamiya mumbled.
"What???" Tai asked.
"Nevermind Tai. She'll tell you if she wants to," Mrs. Kamiya said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kari....."
"Yes...Daisuke?"
"I....uh...I know we've only known each other for a few
days....but I....erm...."
"Yes, Daisuke?"
"CanIkissyou?"
"What?"
"CanIkissYOU?"
"WHAT?"
"Can.....I..."
"Can...you..."
"Can I...kissyou..."
"WHAT?"
"Dammit Kari, can I kiss you?" Daisuke asked. They were
outside of the convention...on the outside convention balcony,
overlooking the city of Banff. (Yes, they traveled that far to get
to the convention). Kari looked at Daisuke suprised. She fidgeted
his fingers.
"I....erm........."
"Kari?"
"O...kay..." Kari said. Daisuke grinned, and cleared his
throat. Kari closed her eyes...and held her head up expectantly.
Daisuke took hold of her shoulders, and leaned forward. Kari felt
his breath, and leaned a little closer forward.
Their lips met, in a soft, romantic, kiss.
Daisuke pulled back, still holding Kari's shoulder. Kari
opened her eyes.
"That was.......warm..." Kari smiled, and then blushed.
Daisuke laughed nervously.
"Yeah....well.." Daisuke looked at his shoes.
"This reminds me of that movie 'Now And Then'," Kari said.
"I LOVE THAT MOVIE! Christina Ricci is so hot!" Daisuke said,
gripping her shoulders tighter.
"It's a girls movie Daisuke," Kari giggled.
"Sorry...I shouldn't be calling another girl hot when I just
kissed you...." Daisuke said.
More silence. Daisuke looked up at the sky.
"Daisuke?"
"Wha-MMPH!!" Kari pulled Daisuke's neck down, and gave him
the biggest french kiss in the world. She pulled back, looking
satisified. Like she had wanted to do that for a while.
"Wow....." Daisuke said.
They both laughed a little. Daisuke pulled Kari in his arms.
And they just stayed like that for awhile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright Sora...Kari will be back on Tuesday, unless she
stays longer. We might stay longer as well. If Tai is difficult,
whack him on the head," Mr. Kamiya said.
"Don't worry Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya, I'll be fine, and so will
Tai." Sora smiled. Mr. Kamiya started the car, and they left. Sora
waved goodbye. They had been packing all morning.
"Guess I better check on the jackass," Sora said, and she
opened the door, and got in the house....
To hear Tai puking in the bathroom. Sora sighed, and waited
until he was done. She heard him wash his face, and he came out.
"Hey jackass...did you flush the toilet, and wash your face
and hands?" Sora smiled.
"Yes...and you're not my mom, so shut up," Tai tried to walk
to his room...without much accomplishment.
"Drop the attitude, I'm here to get you better. Now lets get
you in your room." Sora said, and she helped him back into his room,
and into bed.
"I'm making you some soup okay?" Sora told him, and left his room.
"You don't hafta.....aw man..." Tai said,holding his head.
Sora walked to the kitchen and pulled out some chicken noodle
soup packages. She got out a put, filled it with water, put it on
the oven, and started boiling the water. She tapped her fingernail
polished hand on the counter, until the water started boiling. She
dumped the packet of noodles in the pot, turned the heat up, and went
to check on Tai.
"Hey...um...do you want ice in your soup so it's not too hot,
Tai?" Sora asked. Tai was sitting up, reading an Inu-Yasha manga
comic.
"Um...Ya...that'd be great," He smiled. She nodded, and left
to the kitchen again.
"Why the hell does she even care??" Tai asked with annoyance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Matt, did you hear?"
"Hear what, Mimi?"
Mimi explained the whole Tai and Sora situation, to her movie
date. Matt burst out laughing.
"Aw....that's great...*snort* god, they'll kill each other
before he gets better!!" Matt laughed.
"Lets go spy, Tai has a low window and a balcony in his room,"
"You mean a balcony OUTSIDE his room Mimi,"
"Shut the hell up,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is it okay?"
"I TOLD you Sora, the soup tastes fine," Tai sighed. He took
another slurp. Sora smiled at him. Tai winced.
"What are you grinning at me like that for?" Tai asked. Sora laughed.
"You really aren't as bad as you try and make yourself," Sora said.
"How would YOU know?" Tai scoffed.
"Because anyone with a family as wonderful as yours, MUST
have good children," Sora said, placing a cold, damp cloth on Tai's
head. He finished his soup. Sora took the tray, and carried it into
the kitchen. Tai watched her go, and stood up, the damp cloth
falling to the ground. He went to the kitchen, and just watched Sora
put away the tray, and wash the dishes. Sora finally realized he was
there.
"Tai! You're supposed to stay in bed!!" Sora said, grabbing
his arm. She attempted to steer him back to bed, but....he put his
hand on her back, and drew her into a hug. He put both arms around
the suprised girl.
"Thanks Sora....this means a lot to me," Tai said.
"Tai...." Sora whispered.
'What do I do?? What is he doing?? I hate Tai....no...I
don't...YES YOU DO!!!' Sora thought. She pulled away from Tai.
"Don't...don't do that....go back to bed," Sora said, looking at the
ground, rubbing her arm. Tai looked hurt, and frowned at her.
"Excuse me for....for...DAMMIT SORA!! What the hell do you
think....what is WRONG wih me?" Tai shouted.
"You're sick...thats all-"
"Not MEDICALLY!!! You push me away from you," Tai said.
Sora looked up at him.
"I'm push myself away from a lot of people Tai....just because
I go on dates...dosn't mean I actually do anything. I might as well
be all the guys I go out with sister...I never let them touch me Tai.
They're men...and so are you. So...don't.....don't fall for me...I'll
only push you away," Sora said.
"I....Sora..." Tai said...then caught himself. "I'd NEVER
fall for a bitch like you!" Tai shouted. Sora immidiatly glared at
him.
"Go, to BED!!" Sora shouted. Tai frowned at her, and hobbled back to his
room. Sora panted...and lowered herself to the kitchen floor. She leaned
againts the wall, cuddled up in a ball...and broke down into tears. Silent
tears. "Damnit Tai......why did you have to come into my life?" Sora sobbed.
Tai lay down on his bed.....
"Push everyone away, huh? Don't fall for you....don't worry I
havn't..." He mumbled. He listened to himself think...and stated "You
don't believe me do you....? Damn heart....screwing with my mind. I
would never fall for Sora....."
..............
"Dammit....Sora you stupid...."
And he fell asleep.
