***********
Mark burst in, interrupting the moment. The two tore their eyes from each other, somewhat embarassed. Yamato cleared his throat, speaking up. "Mark! You're alright!" Seeing that this dumbass was alive gave Sora hope that her dear friend would be too. Sora began to ask about her friend, but was rudely cut off by Mark. Propped up on crutches, Mark said sternly. "There's been a murder near an alley."
***********
Arriving at the alley, Sora could see that they weren't the only one investigating the case. Mark picked up a torn, familiar little red jacket from the ground. Eyeing Sora suspiciously, he questioned with a 'Is this familiar to you?' look.
Sora glared at him back with displeasure, and said nothing. The coat had seemed familiar. She grabbed it roughly, causing Mark to lose balance on his crutches, and topple to the ground--strange how Yamato did not say anything when Sora hurt his partner.
Sora looked at the tag finding a familiar name. She dropped the jacket in shock. "...Nancy..." The twelve year old little girl? Sora turned her head to see an ambulence being loaded up with a couple of body bags. She knew she was a bad influence on the girl, but didn't know it was that extreme. Sora was filled with disbelief. 'She looked over to Mark, who was beaming. 'Hmm.' She thought.
Mark eyed Yamato with a triumphant look on his face. Yamato only frowned back. He grabbed Mark, and thrust him into the corner, wanting to talk.
"What makes you always think Sora either did or has something to do with these things?" Yamato asked.
Mark hobbled back and forth on his crutches. "Yamato, Yamato, Yamato. I think hanging around the enemy has changed you. Sure, she's hott. But don't forget she tried to kill me! Oh, and by the way, she's been sentenced to prison." He winked, obviously hinting his hatred towards Sora. "Don't you forget what we came here to do, 'Lee.' We were supposed to arrest Spike and her gang. I find you here trying to find a way to get in her pants. I wont tell the chief if you just arrest her now!"
"Shut up! I was not. I was..trying to make her feel better." Yamato blurted. "It doesn't mean I trust her...!!" He lied, feeling a little guilty inside. Overhearing this didn't make Sora feel better. "What?! Arrest Sora? Mark, what are you doing?! How did you get her sentenced to jail?"
Mark smirked. "It was so easy." Sora overheard this and it made her hate Mark even more. She also heard the remark Yamato said; He didn't trust her. Obviously, she didn't pick up the lie in his tone. She picked up the red jacket, and immediately left. Yamato caught sight of her leaving in the corner of his eye. He also got a glance of her slightly disappointed face, and felt somewhat crushed. He wanted to say something, but bit his lips shut.
***********
Sora walked to the lonely clubhouse, where the group would meet after pilfering goods. A sharp creak echoed from the corner, which caught Sora's attention. "Sora, is that you?" A voice whispered in fear. The voice sounded like Taichi's. Sora was excited. "Taichi! Is that you?!" She shouted back. Taichi's voice faded; it was all in her mind. But she heard the real voice that was calling to her. "Sora..I didn't do it!"
Out from under the table, ran a frightened and battered child. Sora opened her arms, and the girl ran tearfully into it, repeatedly shouting the denial of her accused crime. "Shhh...shhh...It's okay. I know you wouldn't do something as terrible like that." Nancy is an honost, and kind-hearted child. She would never do anything to kill another person. But now the question is, who would? And who would want to frame her so bad? Sora embraced the child in a hug, running her hands through her hair soothingly. She narrowed her eyes in anger. She know who did it.
"C'mon, let's get you to a hospital. Those wounds look nasty..."Of course Sora knew how she got those. She was beaten; this was the only beginning of her punishment.
**********
Sora arrived at the hospital, and left Nancy in the nurse's care. Sora made the nurse promise to keep Nancy safe before her return, or else. Then Sora quickly left Yamato and the so-called " Mark. " Footsteps echoed down the now crowded alley as Sora quickly made her way through to find the two people she was looking for. Investigators and witnesses flocked to the scene, as well as news reporters and so on. An idea popped in her head when she coudln't find who she was looking for. ' The Police Station. '
Following her instincts was right. In the parking lot parked an old, worn-out police car. Her heart fluttered with a slight joy, thinking she wouldn't be able to see Yamato again, but she could--right now was the perfect chance. But she remembered what he had remarked about her, and that feeling of joy sank. 'Ugh, I don't have time for THIS!' She said to herself, feeling bashful of her emotions. She walked into the police station. Upon arrival, she spotted the blond-haired boy, sitting at his office--stressed out and muttering to himself.
"Where's Mark?" Sora's stern voice broke the silence.
Yamato quickly turned around in his seat. "Sora! I'm glad to see you again.." He trailed off. "Hey I didn't mean what I said--" Sora broke him off.
"Answer my question, ' Lee. ' Where is Mark! " Sora repeated. Yamato looked to the side, knowing that Sora now wouldn't believe a word he said.
"Yamato, you're not listening." She said a bit more gently, coming closer to him, sitting on the table of his office desk, next to him.
"Sora I didn't mean what I said, back in the alley." Yamato said hoarsely. Sora sighed, closing her eyes, still feeling upset. "Please, where is Mark? I really need to find him." She repeated.
Yamato gave in and answered, knowing that she wasn't listening. "He went to see how Taichi was doing. It seemed suspicious to me, but I didn't say anything cuz the bastard had pissed off enough people today." Sora was in shock. ' TAICHI?! '
"YAMATO WE HAVE TO HURRY!!!!" Sora exclaimed. "You're right. I feel really bad. Sora, I should have said something. Ugh, I've done so many wrong things lately. I can't take all this pressure sometimes..My mind can get so clouded at times.." Yamato sighed. Sora felt empathy toward him. That hard shell of hers began to wore off.
"Aww.. Yamato. It's okay.. Don't worry. I'm sorry for being .. a jerk. Until now, I've been a emotionless bitch towards everyone." She put her right hand on his, hoping to comfort her. She felt a little uncomfortable herself; well come on. It's been ages since she knew what being in love felt like. There was a sudden tug in her stomach. ' Taichi! Remember Taichi! He might be killed by Mark!' The thought flashed. But Sora couldn't decide, Oy! To break away from another chance in love, with Yamato, or the brother and sister love she had between her and Taichi.
