No Wings To Fly

1. Starting...

I walked down the street. It was a bright sunny afternoon. I was going to meet two of my best friends. I smiled as a sixteen years old girl with pink hair entered my view-distance. I ran towards her, trying to make the lowest noise possible. Then I put my hands on her shoulders screaming a huge Boo! She jumped from her spot and turned around to meet her opponent.

"Sora! Are you crazy?" she started yelling at me but I didn't give her much attention. Mimi was just like that. She had been one of my best friends since first grade.

"So, are you going to the concert?" I asked her as we kept walking down the street. She smiled. Of course she was going to be there. Her longtime love was going to be singing. Ishida Yamato had been one of my best friends since we met in the third grade. Mimi was in the same class as I and as soon as she saw him she fall madly and deeply in love with him. He was the vocalist of the band Ice Wolves along with my best friend, Taichi.

I met Taichi when we were little, about four years-old or so. He was the cutest boy I had ever seen. He had this messy brown hair and beautiful chocolate brown eyes. He was a football player but sometimes he sang in Yamato's band. Kind of like an honorific member.

"Of course I'm going. Do you think I would miss Matt singing?" Mimi replied, blinking an eye to me.

"Yeah, I knew you wouldn't." I smiled. We both kept walking. After a couple of minutes I started noticing that something was wrong with Mimi. She usually talked a lot about going shop or going to the movies or anything else that came to her mind. But at that moment she was quiet, way too quiet.

"Mimi, is everything alright?" I asked her. I couldn't help noticing how nervous she looked. Was she hiding something from me?

"Yes!" she replied. "Everything is fine." I eyed her with suspiciously but she forced a change of subject. "Let's go or we'll be late." She said.

We arrived at the auditorium, where the concert was going to be held, minutes later. A bunch of hysterical girls were still trying to buy tickets. The Ice Wolves had gathered quite a bunch of fans in Odaiba. There were always girls ready to follow them all over school, and even Taichi, a sometimes band member, had his own fanclub.

We left them behind and greeted Takeru. He was Yamato's little brother. He allowed us in with a smile. The girls launched us evil stares ready to kill if they were allowed to. I ignore that, but Mimi couldn't handle their glares very well.

"Where are you looking at?" she shouted to the girls. They quickly turned away and started to chat with their friends or simply looked at other side. Takeru and I snickered.

"So, are Tai and Matt here already?" I asked Takeru, trying to avoid a scene from Mimi.

"Yeah, they arrived a couple of minute ago." he replied. "I could take you there but I'm kind of busy controlling the crowd." He playfully said. Mimi and I laughed and headed out to our sits.

We sat in the two reserved chairs in the front row of the auditorium. Some girls that were already inside gave us more evil looks. Mimi was driving them crazy. Besides being a beautiful girl and a model, she had Yamato's complete attention. Though they weren't a couple, at least not yet, every fan of Yamato was jealous of Mimi.

Mimi ignored them and waited patiently for the concert to begin. But something told me she was not herself today. She seemed tense and was always looking around. I couldn't figure what was going on so I tried to start a conversation.

"How are things with Matt?" I asked. Mimi smiled. "Well, I don't think he knows I have feelings for him but at least I spend a lot of time with him and he is so sweet." She replied. I could see the glow in her eyes every time she talked about him. Then, without announcing, her face saddened again.

"What's up Mimi? What are you trying to keep from me?" I asked. She sighed and watched the empty stage.

"Are you going to the party after the concert at Matt's?" she asked. I gave her a cold stare. She was changing subjects. What the hell was going on? I thought friends told everything to each other.

"If you don't want to tell, then don't, okay? ", I said, crossing my arms in my chest and turning to the stage. "It's not that, Sora. It's just..."

"Forget it. I don't want to hear it." I cut her off. Then we both looked at the stage but I could see Mimi wasn't mad at me. She was behaving strangely. I tried o concentrate on something else but I couldn't stop thinking. I was feeling bad because of what I had said.

Suddenly, the lights went on in the stage and Hikari, Taichi's little sister, entered. There were also a bunch of instruments in the stage behind her. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a blue shirt with a scarf around her neck. I waved her and she blinked to us.

"And now," she began "we present to you the Ice Wolves in their first real concert." Everyone applauded. Hikari left and the lights went off again. Then a blue light appeared showing Yamato in the middle of the stage with the micro on one hand and his eyes shut. A guitar was heard and a yellow light illuminated Hiroshi, the Ice Wolves' guitarist. There were screams in the audience by some hysterical girls.

Another thud was heard but this time by the piano and another guy appeared. Another sound from a battery and a green light illuminated Kay. Then the concert began. Matt sang full lungs. I could see him looking straight at Mimi, as she watched him too. I couldn't get why those two weren't together yet. It was obvious they were head-over-heels for each other.

The concert continued until almost at the end. "We have a special guest singing with us tonight." Yamato announced. One light focused a corner on the stage and a brown haired guy appeared. He had his own guitar and smiled while he waved to the crowd. Again some hysterical screams were heard.

Taichi walked to Yamato's side and greeted him with a male hand shake. "I'm glad to be here today." He said, then they started singing. My heart fell into a pool of sweetness and passion as I heard him sing. I felt my cheeks burning in the dark. Fortunately no one saw.

I had been hidding my feelings for Taichi since ever. Not even Mimi knew about it. We were friends for too long for me to ruin it with passion feelings. But every time I saw him and heard his voice my whole body was shaken inside.

Finally, after four more songs, the concert was over. Mimi and I had to wait for the boys to finish giving autographs and taking pictures. I saw as Mimi almost burned with anger as dozens of girls surrounded Yamato. I knew how it felt. I was burning in anger too, but they were only a bunch of girls and I was sure they would never conquer a warrior's heart like Taichi's.

Mimi and I sat on a bench near the auditorium waiting for the guys. After about half an hour they finally showed up. It was night now. Yamato had lipstick with lips' marks all over his face. We both started laughing. He looked confused at us.

"What?" he asked. The band started laughing too. "Matt, man, you have lipstick all over your face", Kay laughed. Mimi picked up a mirror from her purse, she always went out with one. She handed it to Yamato and he looked astonished to his face.

"Oh, man. I look one of those clowns of the circus." another general laugh. He wiped the lipstick marks with an handkerchief. I looked over to Taichi, who was talking with the piano guy whose name I didn't know. He was so hot with the guitar hanging over his left shoulder and the blue bandana on his head along with a pair of corsairs. (A.N: I don't know how you called in English but they are that half pants, half shorts that reached under your knees and above your ankle) I quickly looked the other way when I noticed that I was staring, very close to drool.

The guys kept talking with each other. Mimi was close to Yamato and he had his arm over her shoulders. She looked passionately at him. I wondered once again if they weren't secretely already a couple. Taichi spoke and laughed with Hiroshi and the other guy. I felt kind of left out. I sat on the bench again. Why are we still here and not at Matt's, was the question in my head. Suddenly I noticed someone sitting by my side.

"Hey Sora." Kay said. "What are you doing here all alone?" I smiled at him. He had this huge green eyes and short spiked brown hair.

"I'm waiting." I replied.

"Oh, I see. We're just waiting for Matt's brother and Tai's sister." He said. Like the dictation says, when you speak in the devil he appears. Not that Takeru and Hikari were evil.

They came towards us, hand in hand, with a huge smile. I could figure what had happened. Another couple. It was time too. I blinked an eye to Hikari and she blinked back giving me the affirmative sign. Kay looked confused at us, but then he shrugged his shoulders and stood up.

"Now that everyone is here, we might as well go." He said. The group shouted yes in unison and we started walking to Matt's. When we arrived, Jyou and Koushiro, another two friends of ours, were waiting at the front door with their arms crossed over their chests.

"Well, I was about to go home." Jyou said. "I have a test tomorrow and if it wasn't for Mimi and Sora I wouldn't be here." I smiled. Mimi and I had almost begged Jyou to come tonight. Yamato and the other started laughing and Jyou laughed along with them. On the other hand, Koushiro remained silent. He watched as Mimi and Yamato exchanged looks between them.

I went over to him as we waited for Yamato to open the door. "Don't be sad. Be happy for their happiness" I told the red headed. He smiled. "Yeah, I know but it still hurts." He replied. I gave him a huge hug. "I know it does."

Koushiro had feelings for Mimi since they first met five years ago, in one of my schoolmate's birthday party. But he never had the courage to tell her, especially because he knew her heart belonged to another guy.

Yamato finally opened the door and we managed to get in. It was all set up for the party. I looked to my watch. It was ten o'clock. We had half hour to get evrything ready because after lots of friends were coming.

Mimi, Hikari and I started putting down the food over the huge table in the centre of the garden as the guys put tables and chairs around it. When everything was ready, people started entering. They greeted Yamato and the rest of the band and hang around. Taichi lglanced insistently towards the door as if he was searching for someone.

"Is Tai waiting for someone?" I asked Hikari. She gave me an I don't know look and went to ask her boyfriend for a dance. I sat in one of the tables. Mimi and Yamato were dancing and even Jyou and Koushiro had found two blond twins from Mimi's class to take them to the dance floor.

Once again, Kay came to sit by my side. "Are you enjoying the party?" he asked. I gave him another of my leave me alone smiles, but I guess he didn't get it because he stayed and started chatting.

All I did was nod and adding some yeah and right in the middle, but he seemed happy with that. I just couldn't take my eyes from Taichi. He just kept looking over to the garden's door. He was obviously waiting for someone, but who?

Suddenly, a black haired girl came in. She had blue eyes and an athletic body. She wore a black dress that reached above her knees and her waved hair reached her middle back. She looked around a few times until she saw who she was looking for. He too acknowledged her presence and stood up and walked over to her. Then all went too fast for me. The brown haired man took the blue eyed girl in his arms and kissed her lips in a passionate kiss.

I felt my head spinning around and I had to push myself against the chair in order not to fall. But I kept watching the scene that was burned in my eyes. The two walked to a table and started chatting. He had his arms around her and she sat on his lap with her hand on his chest. And then they kissed again. And again I felt my head spinning around. I felt like to throw up as I watched them kiss.

I ran out of the garden to the street and leaned my head against a tree before I started throwing up. I fell on my knees when the food crawling up my throat seemed to be suffocating me. A guy appeared from behind and placed his hand on my shoulder. I turned startled to face Kay looking down concerned.

"Are you okay?" he asked. I nodded. "You just left running. Are you sick?" he asked sitting by my side away from the vomit. I couldn't get why the hell was he being nice to me.

"I must have eaten something bad." I told him, but then my feelings betrayed me and I started crying.

"Why are you crying?" Kay asked. I didn't answer and just kept crying. And the funniest thing was that none of my friends had even noticed I was gone.

"Here!" Kay said handing me something. I wiped my eyes to see what it was. It was a hand rolled cigarette. I handed it over to him again.

"I don't smoke, Kay." I said. He smiled and placed it again in my hand.

"It's just one, it won't kill you. And will make you fell better." He said. I laughed.

"How the hell is a cigarette supposed to make me feel better?" He smiled.

"C'mon, there's no use trying to hide your jealousy." He smirked. I started at him. How could he know? Was it that obvious? He smirked and took another cigarette from his pocket along with matches. "Just one?" he said as he put his cigarette on his mouth.

"Okay." I agreed. Just one. It wouldn't end my life. Just a tryout. I put the cigarette in my mouth and allowed my smoke companion to light it.
