Chapter 6 -- Rejection

It is a few days after the prom and Sora is in her room, lying on the bed, doing nothing whatsoever. Suddenly the phone rang ….

Sora picked up her cell phone.

"Moshi Moshi!"

"Hey Sor …"

"Oh … hi Yama. What's up?"

"Uh … nothing … I just wanna to ask if you wanna umm … hang out or something … like … take a walk or something …"

"Uh … sure .."

"Great! Then I'll see you in 5 minutes?"

"Hai! Bye Yama."

"Ja!"

With that, Sora hung u p, got dress and slowly walked out to the park. When she got there, Yamato was already there.

Yamato waved and Sora waved back, smiling.

"Umm … Sora .."

"Nani?"

"Actually … the reason why I asked you to come out is that …. I need to ask you something."

Sora's heart sank. 'Oh no …he's not going to ask me to be his …… girlfriend …. Is he?'

"Oh …." she answered quietly, looking down.

"Sora .." started Yama, taking Sora's hands, blushing. "I'm pretty sure you know how I feel towards you right?"

Sora just kept looking down, not knowing what to do.

"I know you still love Tai and probably don't feel the same towards me …but I really hope you will give me a chance … to be with you, be there for you, and protect you …" continued Yamato. "Sora … so …. will I have that chance ..??"

Sora looked away and pulled her hands away slowly.

Yamato just stared at her sadly.

"I know your answer …."

"Gomen Yama …. I …"

"Shh …I know ….I understand … really …" said Matt hurtfully, trying to keep his tears from falling and looked away in the opposite direction of Sora.

"Matt …."

"Nani?"

"Will we still be close friends … like before?" asked Sora hesitantly, looking up at Yamato.

"Ee! Of course …." answered Yamato uncertainly.

"I see … good …. Yama … I gotta go … see you tomorrow kay?"

"Hai … ja ne."

"Ja …."

With that, Sora turned around and slowly walked home sadly.

"Matt …"

Yama turned around to find out who called his name and saw Taichi.

"Tai? What do you want?"

"Gomen … about that punch … I was just … so … angry …" sighed Taichi.

"Whatever. See ya later, bye." said Matt coldly and walked away slowly.

"So Sora rejected you."

That stopped Matt from walking away any further. He turned around, facing Tai.

"It's really none of your business Tai." he answered coldly yet again.

"You should know very well that she doesn't have Any feelings for you."

"I DO know …"

"And you still ask her to be your girlfriend? Why then?"

"Like I said …. It's none of your business Tai! Why don't you just go home instead of bugging me right now?!"

With that, he walked away quickly, leaving behind a smirking Taichi.

When Sora got home, her mom was crying.

"Okaasan!!! Nani?!"

"It's your father … the doctor said he's getting worse! He might not be able to wait for such a long period of time."

"So … what are we going to do okaasan?!?!"

"I booked tickets for tomorrow afternoon so we're going to go to Kyoto tomorrow afternoon …." said Mrs. Takenouchi, sobbing.

"Ashita?! That fast?!"

"Hai … unfortunately …. We HAVE to go tomorrow …. I'm afraid that he cannot wait …"

"Hai …"

"Sora .. Hurry and pack up your stuffs for tomorrow, alright?"

"Hai …"

Sora walked into her room and closed the door. She dropped to the floor and started sobbing.

'Papa ……please, you HAVE to be alright, we're coming tomorrow papa ……be strong!!'

Sora looked up at the ceiling. "Papa …. Please be okay." And a single tear rolled down her pale face.
