Chapter 5
A/N: Hi all!
Hope your holidays or lack there of are going well.
I've decided to be some what antisocial and type this chapter before the barrage of relatives
makes me want to drink my problems away yeah for alcohol! And double yeah for an older
brother who doesn't mind sharing in his choice drinks! Family is great!
Well the legal aged older brother anyway- but you didn't hear any of that from me- good
*cough* innocent *cough, cough* sweet little Katie would never do something bad ;)
Anyway- Short chapter but it's full of Taiora goodness for you all. Merry - insert what ever you
celebrate here- ! For me it's Christmas!
Ok- so like I promised onto the Taiora fluff
-
The throbbing had once again stopped in her head. These new abilities she had come to possess
weren't without their limitations and draw backs.
'I exerted too much of myself... they were so far away but their emotions were so strong that I
couldn't help but sense them and their intentions.' She thought a she was beginning to awaken
from her slumber.
Groaning a bit, Sora, with her eyes still closed, stretched out under the warm covers. As her hand
moved she came into contact with something fuzzy and soft to the touch. Her slender fingers
petted the soft strands of what felt like hair.
Opening her crimson orbs, Sora stopped stroking the spikes of fuzz when she saw who it
belonged to. Leaning on the bed, his body and head resting on the sheets was the prince. Her
hands were still in his thick locks of hair when he mumbled something into the sheets and
nuzzled against the cool and velvety fabric.
Sora couldn't help but smile at the peaceful sight of the prince sleeping. He looked happy. This
was the first time she had seen him truly at peace. Where he was free from the daily problems she
sensed were plaguing him.
From what she had been able to read, Prince Taichi had lost his mother and father traumatically,
and that Kari was his only family now. The only other close one to him aside from his personal
servant Joe, was the blonde haired man. Matt was his name, she recalled as she remembered how
charming the man was. But something wasn't right- something bothered Sora more and more as
she thought back on the blonde. There was just something she couldn't place and it had to do
with his relationship to the other blonde from Kari's thoughts.
Giving up after a little while, Sora looked down on the prince once again. The more she closely
studied his features, the more she realized he was rather handsome. If it wasn't for the first
incident with him, Sora would have no reason not to fully like this man. But he had changed all
of a sudden. He acted tough in front of his servants and advisors, but in the garden... he was
gentle and... Sora could have sworn he told her something important after he brought her back to
her bed chambers... but she couldn't remember.
As she was staring at his relaxed face, she couldn't help but reach out and try to straighten up his
hair. Tucking a mass behind his ear, she quickly pulled back when she saw his eyes open.
"I'm sorry I woke you up." She said looking down at her hands while he sat up and stretched.
"No, it's all right..." He yawned and sat back on the bedside slowly, as if gauging her reaction.
When he received no protests, he sighed. "You know this is the first night I haven't had
nightmares." He began. The silence was broken between the two. For that Sora was grateful.
Growing up in an abusive home, those long periods of silence could mean many things- none of
which were good. The memories of her past crept back into her present and sent a shiver into her.
"Are... you cold? What's wrong?" Tai asked seeing her reaction.
"What? Oh no- I was... I just remembered something I don't want to ever remember or live
again...but it's nothing." She tried to shrug off with a false smile. But the prince seemed to read
straight through it.
"No, no it's not. You said so yourself that we shouldn't bottle it up inside... what happened to
you back in your world?"
"So you believe me when I said I wasn't from this world?" She asked stunned that he believed
her.
"I never doubted a word that has come out of your soft lips," Tai said, but then realized what
exactly he had spoken and blushed a bit. "I mean, why should I doubt you- you did save my life
and all." He stopped. "And I want to repay you anyway I can... so, please, if you need anything,
anything at all, just name it and while you stay here, it will be yours." She looked at his mind
quickly and saw that he was indeed being sincere and serious.
"T...thank you your Highness."
"No, it's just Tai. Please, no titles here, I... I want to be your friend, I guess. What I mean to say
is... you must have been through a lot and all. Besides the fact you finding yourself in this
world... it must be really hard." He finished.
"Well, I'm not the only one with problems I guess..." Sora said taking his hand in hers. "I can
sense things in you, that cause you great worry, and great pain."
"We're alike in some ways, I guess." He added onto her comment. "We both don't have an easy
life. And we've survived the pain from the past."
"Easy life? What is that? All I've know is the way my step father lived... and that never turned
out well for my mother and me." Sora said looking at the scars that adorned her skin.
As if sensing her pain Tai bent down and kissed the scar she was tracing.
"They only add to your beauty- not taking away from it." He consoled her looking up into her
crimson eyes.
The chocolate orbs met hers for a time. It was as if they were communicating with each other on
a deeper level. But neither spoke a word out loud. Their eyes told the story, the entire story of
pain and struggle.
"Thank you." She quietly answered, this time it was she who blushed.
