Chapter 3: The Digidestined Dinner
It was Friday night, the night of the digidestined reunion and Sora was very excited.
'Wow, it's been so long since we've all been together!' she thought as she entered the restaurant. After a lot of phone calls, Sora had managed to secure the best place for the digidestined to have their reunion. After she had told the manger who the celebrity guest was, Sora had managed to book a large table for 12 people in a large room at the back of the restaurant where all the celebrities liked to eat without being disturbed by the large crowds of fans.
As Sora entered the room, which was decorated with rich red carpets and curtains, with furniture that looked like it had come from a palace and a large table situated next to a large window, she saw that nearly all the digidestined had arrived, apart from Kari and the guest. Even Matt had turned up, and he was now talking to Mimi who was sitting next to him. She walked over to the table and sat down in a spare seat next to Yolei.
"Sora!" screamed Yolei, "Where have you been? You're usually the first person to arrive!"
"Sorry Yolei," said Sora, "I just had to take care of a few things.
"Hey Sora," whispered TK who was sat opposite her, "is everything ready?"
"Yep, they're on their way now."
"Who's on their way?" asked Izzy who was next to TK
"Oh, no one!" said Sora quickly
The digidestined were soon all talking again, until Kari came into the room. Sora noticed that she was talking to someone outside the door. Sora knew whom she must be talking to, but the other digidestined didn't.
"Kari," said Mimi as Kari sat down in a spare seat next to TK, "who were you talking to?"
"Oh, no one Mimi," said Kari nervously. No one noticed, but she gave a small hand signal behind her back. As she did so, someone walked into the room.
"OK, so now that everyone's here," said Davis, "who's the celebrity you said was coming?"
"I can't tell you that," said Kari teasingly
"WHAT!" said Davis, "But why?"
"Cause everyone's not here yet," said Sora, who was watching the person who had just come into the room.
"But who's missing?" asked Joe, "everyone's here."
"So I'm gone for a few years and you forget about me?" teased a voice behind them. The digidestined turned around and saw who the mysterious voice was.
"TAI!" they all screamed
"Hey there guys," said Tai, "Long time no see!"
Tai sat down in the only empty seat left, which happened to be next to Sora, and greeted all his old friends. As soon as he sat down, he was bombarded with questions. As soon as he had worked out what they'd all asked, he explained that he was on the Japanese team and that their flight had be re-arranged so they came back a few days early. He didn't tell the others because he wanted it to be a surprise.
After Tai had finished explaining, the waiters came in to take everyone's order. Soon the digidestined were eating their meal and catching up with each other. It had been years since al the digidestined had been together in the same place. The last time they were all together was at Tai's goodbye party, but Matt hadn't turned up to that.
During the meal, Kari noticed that ever so often, Tai and Sora would look at each other, then once they realised that what they were doing, they turned away blushing. Kari smiled to herself after they'd done it for the sixth time, and turned back to TK.
Soon it was time to go home. Once the bill had been paid, and Tai had signed a few autographs for the staff, the digidestined made their way outside and shelter themselves in the entrance of the restaurant as it was now pouring down with rain. The digidestined left one by one, until Tai and Sora were the last one's left. They just stood there, looking around the street, until after a few minutes of silence between them, Tai's limo appeared around the corner.
"Well, that's my car," said Tai, "Do you wanna ride home Sora?"
"No, it's OK Tai, I only live down the road," answered Sora
"Are you sure? You know I don't like leaving you on your own."
"I'll be fine Tai. Like I said, I only live down the road, so I'll be OK. But…thanks for the offer," said Sora gloomily. Even though she had been alone with Tai she hadn't been able to tell him her true feelings. A small tear fell down her check.
"Hey," said Tai as he placed a hand on her check and wiped the tear away with his thumb ever so gently, "don't cry Sora. What's wrong Sora?"
"No, it's nothing Tai," said Sora looking up into Tai's deep, chocolate brown eyes, "I'm just glad you're back."
"Yeah, me too. Listen Sora, I need to tell you something."
"What is it?" asked Sora looking hopefully at Tai
"Well, I don't know how to say this…but…when I was in England, I thought that the person I would miss most would be Kari, or my mum or dad, but I was wrong. The person I missed most was you Sora. There wasn't a day when you came into my mind. Sora, I'll understand if you don't feel the same way, but I wanna be more than friends. I really care about you Sora."
Sora was speechless. 'He…he cares about me? Does that mean he…does he love me?'
"Mr Kamiya," said the limo driver, "we have to go."
"I'll be there in a minute," Tai called to the driver, then turned back to Sora, "Well, I gotta go. Goodbye Sora."
Tai leaned in close to Sora and placed his lips over hers, embracing her in a soft but passionate kiss. Even though it only lasted a few seconds, Sora felt that it lasted an eternity, and she didn't want it to end. There was a small flash, but Sora ignored it, thinking it was only lightning. As Tai lifted his head, he stroked another tear away from her check with his thumb, them walked away.
Sora watched as Tai climbed into his limo, giving her one last Kamiya smile, then, drive off down the street back to his hotel. Sora stood there for a few more moments, 'til she decided to brave the rain and make her way home.
As she turned the corner, and man hiding in the ally way stepped out of the shadows. He had seen everything that has happened between Tai and Sora. He replaced something into his coat pocket, took out another object, and began to follow Sora down the street.
The next day Tai was very busy. He had a few press conferences in the morning, as quick training session, a few more press conferences in the afternoon, and then in the evening he appeared on a TV show. Once he got back to his hotel room, it was about 10pm, and he was exhausted from his long day. He fell onto his bed, still in his clothes, and began to fall asleep, but he was soon interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing.
"Oh crap," he cursed as he got up to find his mobile.
"Hello?" he asked sleepily once he found it under his bed
"Hello Mr Kamiya," said a husky voice on the other end of the phone, "had a busy day have we?"
"Who is this?" asked Tai, not recognising the voice on the other end of the phone, "Do I know you?"
"You don't know me, but I know all about you."
"What do you mean? Who is this?"
"I'm afraid I can not answer that question Mr Kamiya. I have some bad news for you. Someone very close to you will be missing for a few days, unless you follow our instructions."
"What are you talking about?"
"You are rather stupid aren't you Kamiya. Let me give it to you straight, if you don't do as you're told, your little girlfriend Sora Takenouchi will die."
Tai sat there in shock. If he didn't do what this mad man said, he would kill Sora.
'Sora'Will Tai be able to save Sora? What will he have to do to save her? Find out in the next chapter!
