One Week
Chapter Two: Tuesday Troubles
Pairings: Mimato and Taiora mainly but Sorato in the beginning (also tidbits of Takari and Koumi)
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon 01 or 02, if I did, I wouldn't make fanfics, right?
Takari-san: *bows down in a maniacal way* ARIGATO FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! ___ *sniffs* and I won't disappoint you guys, here's the second chapter now… ^__^ Thanks again… and don't worry, this will contain more Takari and Taiora but we can't forget… MIMATO! Uh… actually, my favorite pairing is Takari (obvious by the pen name) but this is a Mimato fic after all… Oh, and their professions (or rather what they take in college) in this fic is far from the real thing in the epilogue. Taichi wants to be a lawyer, Sora wants to be a teacher, Mimi wants to be an actress (though it's not stated in this chapter yet) and Yamato wants to be a musician. Far, ne? But I still hope you read it with those changes… Oh and yes, I don't own the song "Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden, just read the fic to find out why I said that…

9 am Odaiba
"TAICHI! Get up; we're going to miss the train!" Sora screeched at her best friend who was currently hugging his pillow, still sleeping.
Taichi groaned and turned his back on her, "Give me a break Sora, I came home from your house at about 10 pm yesterday and slept at midnight… let me have some more rest!"
"Taichi, our whole future depends on this… remember, we're going to Tokyo U today!" Sora shouted at her lazy best friend who was curled up in his bed.
A drowsy Hikari then entered the room, "What's with all the noise this morning…?" Upon seeing Sora she smiled, "Hey Sora… oh yeah, it's your trip to Tokyo University today, right?"
Sora sighed, "Yeah, but apparently your big brother won't wake up and we're about to be late for the train-ride." She tried another attempt at waking Hikari's lazy brother up.
Hikari then went in front of Sora, "Don't worry Sora, I'll handle this…"
Sora blinked, "Okay then, if you say so…"
Hikari went up to her brother and said loudly, "Hey Sora, did you know that Takeru asked me to go out with him tonight? I'm so excited! I wonder what he planned; he says it's going to be a memorable night!" She winked at Sora and immediately got the message. She grinned and went on with this plan.
"That's so sweet of him… I wonder what you guys will do…" Sora said pretending to be thinking about Hikari and Takeru's so-called date.
Taichi twitched from his position.
"I don't know but whatever it is, as long as it is with Takeru I'm sure it will be wonderful!" Hikari shouted blissfully (still pretending… -__- let's say she's good in acting).
Taichi twitched from its position again.
"Of course you'll enjoy yourself Hikari… as long as Takeru's there, right?" Sora replied when…
"STOP, HIKARI, YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT WITH THAT BLONDE-HAIRED MONKEY TONIGHT, IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT FOR PETE'S SAKE!" Taichi shouted almost rendering the two females in the room deaf. At least, he was awake…
Hikari and Sora grinned widely, "You're finally awake, NOW GO TAKE A SHOWER, CHANGE AND LET'S GO!" Sora shouted.
Taichi sweatdropped and realized that he was tricked and scurried of knowing Sora was better of not angry.
Monday, 8 pm New York
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can't take anymore
Yamato Ishida stared blankly at the words he managed to write, grabbing for his guitar and trying to play it while singing bits of the song. It was not bad, but it was not good either, and this was something he wanted to be just PERFECT.
He sighed, put down his guitar and turned of the lamp. In his mind, events earlier that day fogging his mind making him forget a certain someone in Odaiba who currently, thanks of time-lines is trying to get her best friend to wake up so not to miss their train ride. He plopped down the bed and sighed.
The day had been nothing but madness, in a way… that someone like HER could make him feel so comfortable and he could just tell her freely all his troubles, all except one but that is for obvious reasons…
Mimi…
Why didn't you enter my life any sooner…?
Odaiba
Both Taichi and Sora sat on the cushioned seats of the bullet train, carrying their admission letters from Tokyo U. The two looked like a couple but of course; the truth is that they're just friends… Of course, they are just friends…
"Hey Taichi, do you think Yamato will move to America?" Sora asked her best friend who was widely awake, seemingly, after waking up Taichi is energetic and hyper-active, but that's different from the fact that he sleeps like a log.
Taichi shrugged, "It's his decision…" Taichi grinned, "You can always fly to New York and stop him, say your mushy lines then kiss and make up…"
Sora arched an eyebrow, "Sure… I was asking you such a serious question and you answer like that…"
"Well, what can I say? I'm like this." He gave her a broad grin, "So, are you really flying to New York to stop him, say your mushy lines then kiss, make up and do those other disgusting things you do?"
Sora sighed, "No, but it always got me wondering… Why do you say how Yamato and I act is disgusting anyway? Uh… not that I'm mad at you for it or anything… but it is odd you know. I think all your teammates in soccer have girlfriends and act the same way. Do Yamato and I act extraordinarily sweet or something?"
"Uh… it's just that… I'm not used to seeing my best friends act like that, I mean my sister, then now you guys… and also… uh… never mind." Taichi then gave a grin though in the inside he just wanted to shout to the world his unspoken feelings.
Sora smiled, "So that's it… really Taichi, you need to get a girlfriend yourself, you act all lonely like that. I'll help you if you want."
Taichi pouted, "I rather let you not! Anyway I'm already in love…"
Sora arched an eyebrow, "Taichi, the almighty soccer team captain falls in love? Who is the lucky girl?"
Taichi paused for a while then started cursing himself mentally then sputtered, "S… S… So…" he blushed realizing what he was about to say then an idea formed in his mind, and it will help him conceal the truth too…
"Well, go on…" Sora urged her best friend.
"I love… SOCCER!" Taichi exclaimed loudly making the other passengers in the train take a glance at him (they probably thought he was some sort of maniacal soccer aficionado).
Sora sweatdropped, "Okay… though I suppose that's expected from someone like you…"
Taichi pretended to look hurt, "Why? Am I a devil with no blood or tears that I cannot love? I love my sister very much if you should know…"
"Yeah, so much that you always think guys want to take advantage of her, even Takeru. I mean, TAKERU, he'll already stutters trying to ask her out even if they're already together!" Sora exclaimed.
Taichi laughed, "I know…"
Sora blinked, "What… then if you know then… why do you still guard them like a bull dog?"
"Well, I know Takeru's like that and he'd rather die than take advantage of Hikari but… you see…" Taichi smiled, "Hikari's more of the type, not Takeru…"
Sora sweatdropped, "So, you're acting like you think Takeru will do something to Hikari when it's Hikari that's more seemingly the type to do something to Takeru (Takari-san: *chokes* uh don't mind this one)."
"Uh… basically, but I doubt they'll do anything, I know those two…" Taichi shrugged, "But hey, it's fun to torment the two…" he then laughed.
Sora sweatdropped, drawing the conclusion that her best friend is really weird.
The whole train-ride was nothing else, but two best friends talking their hearts out, something they haven't done in quite a long time now…

"Arigato…" both Taichi and Sora bowed down to the receptionist. They finally got their forms stamped and were registered into the college, Tokyo University.
Taichi was going to me a member of their soccer team too, almost immediately he was accepted to the team. Taichi was bragging this to his two best friends for the past few months and couldn't stop talking about it though odd thing is, to Yamato and Sora's surprise… He said he was taking up law, sure, Taichi was stubborn and really did argue with people. He was a good leader, but Taichi going to court everyday wearing a suit isn't just the way you could picture him. He was most likely to be a soccer star… or maybe he will… Oh well, we'll never know…
Sora on the other hand, she planned to take education, it was a hard choice at first. There was plenty of things that she could be, but instead, like Hikari's dream, she decided to be a teacher. Of course, it might be quite tiring. Imagine, everyday sitting in the faculty room or lecturing and teaching students to find that they're not listening. However, teaching had this parental feel to it and it just amazes her. Thinking of teaching as a way she could guide children to feel loved and know that they're loved, she wants to be a teacher. She wants them to know that sometimes people may be a bit harsh to them but they really love them, like her mom a few years ago.
"So… this is our first step into growing up…" Sora whispered as she stared at the paper, now stamped, they were now assured of a college to enter.
"Don't people usually say that when they enter high school?" Taichi arched an eyebrow.
Sora shrugged, "I don't know… but it also feels this way now…"
Taichi shrugged as well, "I guess you're right…"
Sora sighed, "Well, what do we do now?"
"Go back I guess; it will be around dinner time if we don't…" Taichi shrugged.
"Good point…" Sora said.
"Let's go then…?" Taichi asked outstretching a hand for her to grab onto. It's been a while since they had been that intimate, around a year or two… ever since Yamato and Sora…
Sora accepted the hand, "Let's"
Taichi blushed lightly as he felt her hand in his, thinking, maybe… he still had a chance.

"So this is where we part ways…" Taichi grinned.
Sora looked at Taichi, she never really noticed it before but his grin usual made her day. He was always there for her and probably will always be there for her, as her best friend… JUST her best friend, though sometimes she wondered, what would happen if Taichi was her koi instead? Would she be happier?
WHOA
WAIT A SECOND…
She wasn't just thinking those thoughts… Yamato was everything to her. She loved him. Yes, she did… at least she thinks so. She felt her world collapse around her. She was now beginning to doubt her relationship with Yamato…
She also didn't notice but all the time she was thinking, her eyes was closed and facing Taichi's direction. A position in which Taichi would think she was asking for something like… like… like… like a kiss.
She felt Taichi's breath near her, he was inching closer to her. She oddly didn't want him to stop but she had to. She couldn't let him go any closer… or else… she would… she would have been betraying Yamato.
She pushed Taichi away, "Uh… sorry Taichi, really have to go home and take a bath again… it's been a long day… umm… see you tomorrow…?" She blushed then quickly opened the door with her key. She rushed inside leaving a confused Taichi at the door.
Sora closed the door and leaned behind it she sighed, 'What the hell were you thinking Takenouchi?"
Taichi sighed from near the door; he made a mistake. He might have just broken his friendship with Yamato and Sora…
From a hotel room in New York, a young blonde woke up, unable to sleep properly. Today was the day he was going to take a look at something that might be his future, yet his mind was still on things that confused his heart…
All three sighed from different corners of the world, 'This is a truly troublesome situation'
Tsuzuku
