One Week

Chapter Six: Saturday Sproutings

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: WAI, I'm on the second to the last chapter already! __ Anyway, enjoy this chapter and its Taiora mushiness and probably its Mimato cavity-inducing-ness. *chomps on an apple* Better get started…

Odaiba Sometime in the morning

"That's wonderful to hear Yamato…" Sora smiled genuinely for the first time in a few days, "It's great that you and Mimi are happy now, I mean… it's just like magic, how you guys managed to fall in love with each other."

Yamato laughed from the other line then got serious, "How about you? How are you managing to get it into Taichi's thick skull that you like him?"

There was silence…

"Sora, you still there?" Yamato asked.

"Ah… yeah…" Sora replied quickly.

"Sora… don't tell me he doesn't know…" a high pitched voice said, Mimi must've snatched the phone from Yamato.

Sora sighed, "He doesn't, I've been avoiding him since what happened on Tuesday."

"Why are you doing that? It was obvious he loved you after what he did!" Mimi exclaimed.

"No, it doesn't show anything at all! For all I know, he might have saw that I was so pathetic that I needed comforting… and I know he just thinks of me as a friend, his best friend… and that hurts. It really hurts." Sora told the couple who was listening intently.

"That's not true Sora… you, of all the people should know that. Taichi would never think of you that way, you guys know each other the best among us guys. You knew Taichi since childhood and you know he isn't one to do that." Yamato's cool voice said suddenly.

"I know but… I just know that Taichi doesn't think of me that way." Sora told Yamato.

"How do you know that?" Mimi chirped in.

"I just know it. After all, who would love someone like me? I am fickle, boring, ugly (Yamato and Mimi: That's not true), and worst of all I can't even bring out the guts to say I love him." Sora said when a deep baritone voice she knew all too well was heard…

"I would…"

Sora turned around and gaped at the sight she saw. Taichi Yagami was standing in front of her smiling broadly but it was evident that he had been sleepless because of his hair, which was more messy that it usually had been. It even looked like something exploded on it.

"Taichi…" Sora stared at the man from top to bottom, checking if it was really him or it was just her imagination acting up.

He smiled, rather drowsily, "The one and only, and you better believe it!"

"What are you doing here?" Sora asked softly, "Not like I want you out or anything…"

"Well, for starters, your mom let me in…" Taichi said pointing to the kitchen where her mom was cleaning the dishes after breakfast, "By the way, Yamato told me about your recent break-up and well, I'm sorry…"

"What are you saying sorry for?" Sora asked Taichi confused.

He scratched his head, "Well, it's been one hell of a week and to say it's still not over, and I've been a wreck lately… Well, besides that… I know I might be the reason of your break-up with Yamato and if I'm not, you know… and if you're hurt because of him I can always punch the nine hells out of him…"

A shout from the phone, which was dangling upside down was heard, "I HEARD THAT TAICHI!"

Taichi sweatdropped; he then took the phone and told the people from the other side, "Uh… call back later, I'm having a private moment here…" He placed the phone back to its position and turned back to Sora.

"Taichi… it's not your fault Yamato and I broke up, it was both our faults, so no one's there to blame. We both were growing apart from each other and he already loves someone, and from what I heard from both parties, it's been like magic for the both of them." Sora confessed to Taichi.

"Yamato loves Mimi and Mimi loves Yamato, right?" Taichi smiled, "It's nice to know that they're having a blast."

"Yeah…" Sora said.

"Sora… I have something to confess…" Taichi said looking at her straight in the eye, "Actually, it was why I came here… why even in my wreck of a state, I pulled out the courage to go here this morning…"

Sora blinked, wondering what it could be, "What are you talking about Taichi?"

Taichi sighed then brought her hands to his, "As if I should even tell you, I bet those morons (referring to Yamato and Mimi) already told you a thousand times… Sora, I love you and even if I know you don't feel the same… Well, I just do… and I thought that I was just stupid and pathetic to keep it in me. Wasn't it stupid? You would find out sooner or later and then to chaos we come, right? So, I just grabbed the chance to tell you now."

Sora stared at him blankly, "Say that again…"

Taichi blinked, "So I just grabbed the chance to tell you now?"

Sora shook her head, "Not that part, the earlier part about you… you l-"

"Ah… so that's what you meant!" Taichi said like a child learning something new, "I love you Sora."

Sora had tears in her eyes…

Taichi sweatdropped, though in his heart deeply scarred he sighed, "Is me loving you that bad?"

"TAICHI NO BAKA, it's not that… it's just that… it's just I, I, I love you too…" Sora told him finally.

Taichi looked at her, eyes larger than dinner plates, "You're honestly… you honestly… love me?" gulped a nervous Taichi not believing what just heard.

Sora nodded tears freely flowing down her cheeks, "Yes, I love you, probably ever since our first meeting… and maybe I just pushed it to the back of my mind and forced myself to believe that I love Yamato and almost forgot who I really love… you…"

Taichi, still in a state of shock, managed to wrap his arms around the auburn-haired goddess, in his eyes anyway, his own personal goddess… and if anyone else laid their "filthy" eyes on her the way he does, they're basically dead, "Sora… you don't know much time I waited for you to say that…"

Sora smiled, "I never thought you could feel this way about me Taichi…"

"Well, you know me naughty, naughty, looking at my best friend's girl… but would you forgive this bad boy?" Taichi grinned naughtily.

Sora laughed, "Of course I would…"

Taichi then inched a bit closer to Sora, waiting a bit for her silent approval before placing his lips on hers. Something he waited for such a long time to attain…

That time, something sprouted within the two of them and it is something that would last forever.
