Anyone who is wondering, I am continuing this, and my other fic.
You probably don't want to read my excuses for now, so I'll leave that for later.
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon etc, but I do on this story and all idea's related to it.
Enjoy~!

Akahana Highschool
Friday, May 12 12:52 PM
"Yagami-kun gather your things and get out! I don't need a student who isn't willing to learn, and I especially don't need a delinquent in this classroom!" The teacher bellowed as his face grew redder and redder with fury. Tai stared at his teacher for a moment, all the students in the class watching his every move. After his slight pause, he picked up his books and started walking out of the classroom.
As he passed the teacher at the front, the teacher whispered in a low tone "don't even bother coming to next class you hear?"
Tai gave his teacher one last blank stare before he left the hushed room.
Rubbing his eyes as he closed the door behind him. It took a moment for Tai to register what had just happened. Walking down the hall towards the bathroom he gave out a big yawn and stretch before pushing the door open.
Washing his face with cold water, he finally came to realize that he had been thrown out of class yet again. Grabbing a paper towel from the dispenser, he dried his face and threw it into the bin as he walked out of the room.
Contemplating on what he should do now that he was relieved from class, he decided to go up on the roof for another nap.
Lying out on the warm concrete, Tai took advantage of the space. With the sun acting as a warm blanket, it didn't take long for Tai to fall asleep.
****************************
When Tai woke up, the sun was lower than it had been before, but the air was still just as warm.
He brought his right hand to his face to shield his eyes from the sun, but as he did, something hit him right in the face. Out of surprise, Tai jolted up into a sitting position, cursing outwardly as he held his painful face.
Glancing over to his side, he saw that the object that hit him was a book. Picking it up, he turned it over and looked at the cover. "The endless road" he read out loud. He stared at the book for a while and realized where, or rather, whom it had come from. He blushed a bit at the thought but quickly shook the feeling off as he started to fully wake up. Stretching out his arms he got up and walked over to the edge of the roof. Holding onto the wired fence, he saw that almost the entire school was evacuated into the front lot. In the far distance, he could hear the faintest sound of sirens ringing out.
Taking this as a bad sign, Tai decided to go down to join the rest of his class, in order to find out what was happening. Pocketing the book, he walked down the stairs into the school.
The halls were completely empty. The sound of his footsteps echoed with every step that he took. Glancing at a clock inside of an empty classroom, Tai saw that it was two-fifteen. Forty-five minutes before school was over.
As he descended from the next set of stairs, leading from the third to second floor, he heard voices, and stopped where he was to listen.
"So sorry my friend, but I don't see why you should get more than half of the company when it was my father who approached your father in the first place."
"But who's father did all of the work? Who worked hard to build the company up! Why are you doing this? You've gone insane!"
"Insane?"
Bang!
"No. Smart?"
Bang!
"Yes."
Tai cringed as he heard the two gunshots, followed by the painful cries of the victim being shot. Mustering up all the courage he had, he carefully peered around the corner to see what was going on. His stomach churned as his eyes came across the fallen form of his classmate Kazuhiko Nakamura surrounded in a pool of his own blood. He looked to see who was behind this and almost choked on his own saliva.
Kazuki Senzo.
Tai wanted to help Kazuhiko, but his body wouldn't move. The sight of the gun was what kept him in his place. He felt completely useless.
"Well, this is the end, Partner." Kazuki smiled evilly. "Good-bye"
Bang!
All that happened next was a blur to Tai. His body reacted by itself. He felt as if he were watching someone else, as if watching a dream.
He tackled Kazuki to the ground, picked up the gun and threw it as far as he could. The next thing he knew was that he was being held back by two police officers and put into cuffs.
************************************
"Good morning dear brother of mine!" Kari chirped as she came bursting into his room. Tai, who couldn't care less that it was time to wake up responded by pulling his covers over top of his head. Kari wasn't too happy with her brother's reaction, and took the pot she had in hand and clanged it together with the large ladle she had in the other. "Wake up! You have a visitor."
"A visitor?" Tai said groggily.
*************************************
Fully groomed in Geek attire, Tai entered his Kitchen as groggy as ever.
"Ah, he finally awakes." Hoshino, who was sitting at the table, said cheerfully.
"What the heck are you doing in my Kitchen Hoshino." Tai said, unenthusiastically as he walked to the table to pour himself a bowl of cereal.
"What? I can't come and see one of my students once in a while?"
Tai pretended to think about it. "No."
"Besides that, how did it go yesterday. Kenta wouldn't tell me. Was it really that bad?"
"Let's just say that I could have been doing something better with my time."
"Like tutoring Takenouchi-san?"
"No, she wouldn't show up anyways…"
"Thank you for letting me use your washroom." Someone said from behind Tai.
"Well speak of the devil!" Hoshino said cheerfully.
Tai turned around to see…
"You!" Tai said in surprise as he gazed upon the form of Sora Takenouchi standing in the doorway of his kitchen.
"How rude! Is that how you greet a guest?"
"She's right Tai, greet her properly." His mother agreed as she brought over two cups of tea, one for Hoshino and one for Sora.
"Welcome." He simply said. His mother gave him a small smack on the shoulder, but left him be.
"So, what are you here for?" Tai asked, wondering why Hoshino would go through the trouble of bringing Sora to his family's apartment, let alone go there in the first place.
Hoshino held out a paper for Tai to see and spoke in a serious tone of voice. "Tai, these are some of your latest test scores from recently taken tests." Tai could see that his marks were in the high ninety range. "And these are Miss Takenouchi's Marks." He held out another sheet of paper. Forty's and low fifties were what Tai could see. "It puzzles me why she would be failing so many of her tests when she has a tutor with a ninety percent average. Could you please explain to me?"
"Maybe.because she isn't being tutored by a ninety percent averaged student..."
"Is this true Miss Takenouchi?"
Sora kept quiet.
"Tai," Hoshino said disappointedly, "you were supposed to be tutoring her everyday that you could. Why weren't you?"
"So this is my fault? I waited till three thirty everyday for her, but she never showed up once. I think you should be asking her instead of me."
"Alright then…Miss Takenouchi?"
"I'm very Sorry Hoshino-sensei. I have been very busy for the past week and I couldn't make it to any of the tutor sessions." She bowed her head, hoping that this would be enough of an apology to let this pass.
"Are you going to be busy this week?" Hoshino inquired.
"No." She replied.
"Good, then you can start today under my supervision. For the rest of the week of course." He said, switching from his serious tone, to his usual cheery one.
"Wha.." Tai started to object, but was interrupted by Hoshino's cheery departure.
"I'd better be off now, I wouldn't want to be late for school. I would love to give you two a ride but…I think this would be a good time for you two to get to know each other a little better. Ciao!" And then he was gone.
Tai looked at Sora, who was quietly sitting in front of him. He found it quite odd that she was there watching him eat. Putting that aside, he offered her something to eat, and she refused politely. He was taken aback by this strange behavior but ate quietly. He deducted that she was only acting like this because his mother was in the same room.
"I'll be ready soon, you can wait in the living room if you'd like." Tai offered.
"Um…Okay." She said timidly as she followed him out of the room.
He showed her to the couch and handed her the television remote. "If you want to watch."
"Thanks…"
******************************
It had been five minutes since Tai left his apartment with Sora, and no one had said a word. It was Sora who broke the silence.
"I didn't think you could be so rude."
"What a great way to start a conversation!" Tai said sarcastically.
"There you go again. I guess you're not as much of a wimp as I thought you were."
"Well, I never knew that you could be so…so…polite. You don't seem like your usual self."
"Gee, thanks." She replied with her own sarcastic remark.
"It's just a little odd…that's all."
Silence again…
They finally reached the school gates, and they both stopped before they went their separate ways. Sora still didn't want to be seen together with Tai.
"Just cause I was a little nice to you, doesn't change anything. I still think you're a geek and a loser." She said as she ran off to her friends.
"Whatever," Tai said, not caring at all as he himself walked off to class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Sigh*
Another chapter done! My gosh that took a long time, but I did finally update. I really wanted to update sooner, honest, and I know that I said that it wouldn't take that long, but everything completely backfired!!!
Random rant and excuses below (feel free to skip this)
First I got sick with the flu for a few days, and I had a horrible cough. I wrote half of the chapter when I got better, then my computer decides to do weird things. It screws up on me and I have no computer to use. Some guy comes over to fix it, and does, and we also get a new computer. (yay!) I tried writing over winter break, but I was really busy and I couldn't get the chapter right. Later, I write a bit more of the chapter and then the old computer screws up yet again and the new computer's Internet goes down, so not only could I not get my chapter onto the knew computer, I didn't have any Internet for about a week. So I finally got things straightened out for now. My old computer is up and running with Internet, but the knew one is yet to be fixed -_-.

Final word
Okay, so here's the deal. I thought that I would be free to write a whole bunch, but, it appears that I'm not as free as I wished -_- so for the next chapter, I wont be too sure when it will be out. Next week, next month. I can't say. I won't be setting deadlines for myself anymore, because as you all know, I probably wouldn't keep to it, a flaw on my part. If you read this far, thx. If you didn't, well then I guess you don't know what's going on, but thx for reading my fic.
Please review
Thank you
