There are many of us with what people call 'problems'. These problems can range from health issues to physical issues and most of these 'problems' can be treated through medicine or other means.
However, what about the problems that are skin deep, in the depths of our inner being, our soul? The ones that are implanted in us when we come into this world, and do not surface until the weirdest times, what do we do about them?
~ Chapter 1 ~
My name is Yamato Ishida. I am a freshman in High school; my age is 14. As far as my appearance goes, I have golden blonde hair that is about shoulder length and icy blue sapphire eyes. I guess I am considered attractive because if you as any girls at my school they will probably tell you that I am a "pretty boy" or a "hottie". So if you see a bunch of Odiba High school girls giggling and following around some boy that is probably me. I hate it! My best friend Taichi never has to worry about this sort of thing. Maybe because he is an athlete or something I really don't know. He is not bad looking at all if that is what you are thinking. He's attractive, athletic, has as an excellent attitude and gets along with practically everyone in my school. Its just the girls seem to treat him more like a pal instead of a 'huckster' that you are to embarrassed to say anything to for fear of being 'rejected'. Girls.
Oh, something else about me you might want to know, I have never had a girlfriend or even my first kiss. I guess that's either pathetic or strange because it is odd for a boy my age not to have a girlfriend. Not to mention that they've had their first kiss but, let's skip my love life and move on to something else okay? Let's talk about a normal day.
I usually wake up around five o'clock AM and take my shower. After ironing and putting on my clothes, I earn my title as a 'pretty boy' by doing my hair, which takes about 35 minutes, sorry to say. Next, I make breakfast so dad can have something to eat before he goes to work. After that, I grab my bag, say bye to dad and start heading to Taichi's house.
What no Mom? She doesn't live with me. You see my parents have been divorced for about nine years and since they were splitting up, my younger brother was to live with my mom and I was to live with my dad. It sucks sometimes. I miss having a little brother.and a mom. The last thing she gave me was a harmonica and I'm pretty good at it, in fact, it's one of the only things I look forward to doing when life is not going my way. I just sit back and play.
Anyway, this particular day I was walking to my best friend Tai's house. When I got there I rang the doorbell and Taichi's little sister Hikari answered the door.
"Oh, Ohayogozaimasu Yamato! " She said happily. "Tai just got out of the shower, so it will be a bit.come in!" She led me in and sat me down in the living room. Hikari went and knocked on Tai's bedroom door.
"Taichi hurry up! Yama's here and you still have to cook breakfast!" She yelled at him through the door.
Taichi replied with a 'All right already!' and a sudden crash told her that he was indeed hurrying. Hikari came back into the room shaking her head.
"I hope he hurries up, I'm starved!" she said to no one at all, but I stepped in anyway.
"I can cook breakfast for you Kari." I said to her with a smile, calling her by her nickname to make her feel more comfortable.
"Oh. Yama it's okay." She was blushing.
Oh no! I've gotten to Kari now! My best friend's kid sister! I shouldn't have done my smile, oh well too late.
"It's okay Kari, I love to cook!" I said putting on an apron as Kari, still blushing, muttering a 'well if you want to.' By the time Tai had come running out, Kari was half way finished and I had just put down his plate.
"Wow Kari you bought us a butler!" he said to her teasingly.
"Oh Tai." Kari said angrily, then changed her tone.
"Actually, I traded. Him for you. Looks like your going to be Jun's new play toy!" she said happily eyeing her older brother evilly. Tai must of thought about the idea because he shuddered.
"I do appreciate it though Yama, thanks!" he said as he took his seat and briskly ate all of the plate contains.
"Mmm, thah's goh." He said swallowing the last of his meal. He stood up, looked at me and smiled. That's when I noticed some of his hair was rumpled on one side of his face. I went to brush it back into place when I stopped.
What am I doing? This is a little strange.
I quickly covered up the oddness by pointing to the spot.
"Tai, you have hair in your face." I said, praying that he did not know what I just tried to do.
"Oh, thanks Yama." He said brushing it back into place. I smiled as I thought.
"We better get going Tai," I said looking down at my watch. "It's already 7:20!?!"
Fifteen minutes later, we were in our seats and trying to catch our breaths.
"Man, that's the last time I sleep in late." Taichi said after his breathing had returned to normal.
"Yeah right." I uttered with a smile.
Soon afterward our teacher entered the room and set his briefcase onto the table.
"Ohayogozaimasu students." Mr. Kasumi said in his monotone way.
"Ohayogozaimasu Mr. Kasumi-sama." The class answered in unison.
"Now if you would please take out your pencils." That's where he lost me.
Oh boy note taking can't this guy think of anything else? It's always this or problem solving with a partner, am I learning anything? *Sigh* Looks like Taichi's board stiff as well. Why isn't he taking notes? If he thinks that I am going to let him copy my notes again, he's another thing coming!
Taichi caught my gaze and smiled.
Oh all right but this is his last time, eventually he'll have to learn how to do it on his own.
Truthfully that alone time with Taichi at my house explaining math and having him copy down my notes was.How could I put it. Nice. I mean it 's just as if it's only me and my best friend doing homework and making the best of it. It was my time to be with him, to talk about anything and everything, and not be worried about what the other person might think. I trusted him and he trusted me. You couldn't find closer friends than us.
"Okay class its 'Problem solving time'. Everyone please pick a partner and start right away."
Taichi and I are always partners when we have the opportunity to do so, but today I was almost longing to have the former goggle boy as my partner.
Maybe it had to do with Taichi and I being Digidestians. I mean we share a digimon that is the DNA version of my Metal Garurumon and his War Greymon but that couldn't be it, whatever was making me long for Taichi's presence wasn't something I had encountered before. When Taichi finally scooted his desk towards mine I was so happy to have him there across from me that everything in that instance was wonderful. We started on our Math sheet pronto. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taichi turned to look over at the to girls who for the past fifteen minutes had been talking and being disruptive, go figure, they're cheerleaders.
"I wish someone would shut them up!" Taichi whispered to me as he angrily attempted to do problem #6. It appeared as if Taichi was going to get his wish because just then Mr. Kasumi walked right over to Mika and Sae (the two girls).
"Well girls, would you mind sharing your exciting news with the class?"
Mika and Sae's faces went as white as the chalk in Mr. Kasumi's hand.
Oh yes, please share with the class Sae about how much fun you and Yamazaki had last night, I'm sure that Mr. Kasumi will love to hear all the juicy details.
The whole class just sat staring at them until Sae put her head upon her desk and Mika just blushed, not making eye contact with our Math teacher.
"I see, not going to enlighten us hmm? Well, I just will have to split you two up. " Mr. Kasumi faced us students and rubbed his chin.
"Now who to put you with.of course! Miss. Yukimura you will go sit by Mr. Ishida and Miss. Asuka will go with Mr. Yamagi. Well. chop chop!"
Tai looked at me and I met his glance.
"See ya later Yama." Tai said sadly as he slowly picked up his books and advanced toward the troublesome cheerleaders.
I sighed and waited for Mika to sit down. Once Mika was settled we sat and did our math work till the end of class.
"Yama, wait up!" Taichi yelled to me as I waded through the sea of teens.
"Kay." I held back until Taichi was at my side.
"That was the worst math class huh?" Tai said as we neared our next class.
"Yeah. How come he picked us?" I asked. Taichi smiled.
"Because Yama, the best student in the class. It would be stupid not to pick you."
"How was Sae?" I asked quickly trying to get out of talking about me being top student.
How was Mika?" Taichi said in his cocky way.
I nodded as to signal that I understood. We are always doing something like that, were we know what the other one means without saying it or understanding something when other people don't.
"Here we go." Taichi said with a sigh as he opened the door to our Honors Reading/writing/Literature class (you Westerners might know this as 'English').
Of course, I knew exactly what Taichi met.
Just as a heads up our, ah 'English' teacher is a little.strange.
When we came in all of the desks had been removed and only the carpeted floor was exposed. Mr. Iwata eagerly gestured us and our other classmates inside.
"Hello class, today we have an exciting new activity, an enlightenment session if you will. Please seat yourself on the floor."
Here we go.
Once all of us were comfortably seated on the floor Mr. Iwata continued.
"Now, please pick a partner!"
Once Taichi and I heard the word 'partner' we automatically glanced at each other and our eyes made contact. We stared at each other for about five seconds before I pulled myself away. For some reason Taichi looked so serious when we connection just then, It was if he was staring into my soul or something, trying to probe my thoughts.
I thought it best too not to look at him for as long as I could. I focused on Mr. Iwata waiting patiently for his instructions and I could still feel Tai's eyes watching me.
"Now, I would like you to face your partner."
Oh great, I have to face him now! Why do these things happen to me?
I slowly turned to face Tai. I couldn't make eye contact. My breath was normal and my heart beat as well, it wasn't obvious that something was out of the ordinary yet.
What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling so strange? Is it because of Tai?
"Now take out your notebooks and writing utensils."
Thanks for the save Mr. Iwata, you are the best!
I slowly opened my blue notebook and turned to a blank page. Tai was doing the same, barely taking his eyes off me.
"As I have noticed you all have picked someone you are close to. Good. Your task is to write as many 'nice' things about that person that you can. This is to help you realize characteristics about that person you maybe didn't noticed before. If you are stuck at first try listing things, you already know. You have exactly fifteen minutes. Ready? Begin."
After writing a couple things I already knew, I was forced to look at Tai. My eyes met Tai's just like before and suddenly the same strange emotion surfaced again and I could feel myself going a little red.
I hate being pale! Well, not really pale but fair skinned. If something embarrasses me I blush and everyone knows it so in the past years I have learned to control it somewhat. Even Mom would rave about how she wished she could have fair skin so that it could bring out her eyes just as it does mine. She wouldn't care about if someone notices her blushing or not.
After some of my own persuasion, I forced myself to look at Tai's shoulders. I never noticed how more muscle he had and he had, it wasn't a lot of muscle, but it made him look more athletic I guess. I had to think of a reason for my observation so I listed it maybe due to football. I smirked. Even the sport hating Mrs. Takanaka liked football and everyone knew that Taichi was the best player we have ever had. I loved going to his games and watching his elegant movements and fast reflects as he went in for a goal. Yeah, my best friend is awesome.
After listing things from looking at Tai's shoulders, I was brave enough to stare at his nose. For some reason, everything about him was perfect. Even his wild hair, which would normally drive me crazy, was perfect.
I now had twenty-seven nice things about Tai, including one about his hair. I wrote something saying that his hair tied into his uniqueness, yeah, Mr. Iwata loves that kind of crap.
"All right Kiddies let's make this exciting! Who ever can conjugate the most compliments will win a prize!" Mr. Iwata said excitedly.
Everyone's pencils started to whiz about their papers and a distill hush covered the classroom. I just kept on writing more things about my best friend until there was only two minutes left. Having nothing else to do, I watched Taichi continue writing.
He has grown up a lot since we where eleven, especially after our adventures in the Digi-world. I've noticed that we don't fight as often, we still tease each other but I guess that's still normal. I'm still mad like hell that he's taller than me now. Not by much mind you, but I still bothers me a bit. I suppose in the end it suits him, balancing with his child like smile, brown hair and eyes.
My teacher interrupted me by happily stating that, time was up. Everyone slowly placed their pencils down, and waited for Mr. Iwata's next instructions.
"Now if you would please switch papers with your partners."
Oh great.
I was hesitant to give my paper to Tai but what could I do? I mean, it is just some assignment anyway.
Stop scaring yourself Yamato.
Tai carefully handed me his own paper, making contact as he placed it into my hands.
Oh Gods, he's so soft.
Man, what am I doing, I really shouldn't be thinking about this!
I glanced over at the paper that Tai had given me. Observations 1-13 had been normal things like my birthday, astronomical sign, favorite colors ect.
It was number 14 that really caught my interest. Tai had said that I had delicate hands, and then relating it to me playing guitar and piano. It seriously made me feel like a teenage girl that just had her crush comment on her shirt. I could feel the color rising in my cheeks again and I could have sworn Taichi had a tint of pink about him as well.
Soon afterwards the papers had been passed in and it was time for Mr. Iwata to announce the winners.
"I am proud to announce that we have in fact two winners, Yamagi Taichi and Ishida Yamato!"
The class applauded and Tai and I actually did something normal, we high- fived. I blushed slightly at our touch, thank the Gods it never reached my cheeks before the bell rang out for our next class. Mr. Iwata quickly gave us our prize, which turned out to be a coupon of five dollars off at a music store we both liked. We arranged that we would spend it after school and I happily counted the hours till then.
~ ***** ~
The rest of the day went smoothly.well all except for gym. After a very intense game of prison ball, which our team won of course because of Tai, I quietly slipped to my locker to fetch my clothes. After I had taken my shower, I changed in the shower stall. It was either I didn't want anyone to see me or to see Tai. It's not as if I haven't before.I mean we are guys after all, but the last time I saw him was when we were eleven. Hey, just because we were in the digital world didn't mean that we had to smell, gods' boys aren't that gross you girls!
So, that means I haven't actually seen him naked for about three years and with a boy a lot can happen in a three years! I cannot believe that I am thinking about this! I'm normally not one of those guys that thinks about sizes, that's just wrong! I must be delirious, or maybe it's just a teenage thing.
~ ***** ~
Anyway, school finally ended, Taichi, and I went to get our CD's. The first couple of minutes we were silent, but finally I started a light conversation, stopping only to browse for the CDs, we were going to buy.
In the end, Tai ended up buying the Trigun CD 'Spicy Stewed Doughnuts' and I bought 'The Best Of Good Charlotte'. As we exited the store Tai did something that he had never done before. he walked me home. We talked some more and I was saddened to see the room of the apartment building nearing with every step. After our good-byes were said and he had left I quickly ran into my room and slammed the door behind me, flinging onto my bed and burying my head into my pillows.
What is wrong with me?
I guess I sat there for about an hour until I decided I wanted to go to bed. I slowly took of my school jacket and my shirt and crawled into sanctuary. I was half-asleep when Dad came home. He knocked on my door quietly and I heard him turn the handle. He cautiously approached me and whispered my name. I didn't answer him. He reached over to feel my forehead to check that I wasn't sick.
Finally satisfied he planted a kiss on my head and said goodnight, carefully shutting the door behind him.
He had made me feel so much better by just standing by me then. As if to say that what ever I was going through that we could get through it together. Parents, they can be so dense at times but whatever my dad had done had calmed my nerves and a few minutes later I was drifting away on a soft white dream cloud.

There are many of us with what people call 'problems'. These problems can range from health issues to physical issues and most of these 'problems' can be treated through medicine or other means.
However, what about the problems that are skin deep, in the depths of our inner being, our soul? The ones that are implanted in us when we come into this world, and do not surface until the weirdest times, what do we do about them?

After some of my own persuasion, I forced myself to look at Tai's shoulders. I never noticed how more muscle he had and he had, it wasn't a lot of muscle, but it made him look more athletic I guess. I had to think of a reason for my observation so I listed it maybe due to football. I smirked. Even the sport hating Mrs. Takanaka liked football and everyone knew that Taichi was the best player we have ever had. I loved going to his games and watching his elegant movements and fast reflects as he went in for a goal. Yeah, my best friend is awesome.
After listing things from looking at Tai's shoulders, I was brave enough to stare at his nose. For some reason, everything about him was perfect. Even his wild hair, which would normally drive me crazy, was perfect.
I now had twenty-seven nice things about Tai, including one about his hair. I wrote something saying that his hair tied into his uniqueness, yeah, Mr. Iwata loves that kind of crap.
"All right Kiddies let's make this exciting! Who ever can conjugate the most compliments will win a prize!" Mr. Iwata said excitedly.
Everyone's pencils started to whiz about their papers and a distill hush covered the classroom. I just kept on writing more things about my best friend until there was only two minutes left. Having nothing else to do, I watched Taichi continue writing.
He has grown up a lot since we where eleven, especially after our adventures in the Digi-world. I've noticed that we don't fight as often, we still tease each other but I guess that's still normal. I'm still mad like hell that he's taller than me now. Not by much mind you, but I still bothers me a bit. I suppose in the end it suits him, balancing with his child like smile, brown hair and eyes.
My teacher interrupted me by happily stating that, time was up. Everyone slowly placed their pencils down, and waited for Mr. Iwata's next instructions.
"Now if you would please switch papers with your partners."
Oh great.
I was hesitant to give my paper to Tai but what could I do? I mean, it is just some assignment anyway.
Stop scaring yourself Yamato.
Tai carefully handed me his own paper, making contact as he placed it into my hands.
Oh Gods, he's so soft.
Man, what am I doing, I really shouldn't be thinking about this!
I glanced over at the paper that Tai had given me. Observations 1-13 had been normal things like my birthday, astronomical sign, favorite colors ect.
It was number 14 that really caught my interest. Tai had said that I had delicate hands, and then relating it to me playing guitar and piano. It seriously made me feel like a teenage girl that just had her crush comment on her shirt. I could feel the color rising in my cheeks again and I could have sworn Taichi had a tint of pink about him as well.
Soon afterwards the papers had been passed in and it was time for Mr. Iwata to announce the winners.
"I am proud to announce that we have in fact two winners, Yamagi Taichi and Ishida Yamato!"
The class applauded and Tai and I actually did something normal, we high- fived. I blushed slightly at our touch, thank the Gods it never reached my cheeks before the bell rang out for our next class. Mr. Iwata quickly gave us our prize, which turned out to be a coupon of five dollars off at a music store we both liked. We arranged that we would spend it after school and I happily counted the hours till then.

The rest of the day went smoothly.well all except for gym. After a very intense game of prison ball, which our team won of course because of Tai, I quietly slipped to my locker to fetch my clothes. After I had taken my shower, I changed in the shower stall. It was either I didn't want anyone to see me or to see Tai. It's not as if I haven't before.I mean we are guys after all, but the last time I saw him was when we were eleven. Hey, just because we were in the digital world didn't mean that we had to smell, gods' boys aren't that gross you girls!
So, that means I haven't actually seen him naked for about three years and with a boy a lot can happen in a three years! I cannot believe that I am thinking about this! I'm normally not one of those guys that thinks about sizes, that's just wrong! I must be delirious, or maybe it's just a teenage thing.

Anyway, school finally ended, Taichi, and I went to get our CD's. The first couple of minutes we were silent, but finally I started a light conversation, stopping only to browse for the CDs, we were going to buy.
In the end, Tai ended up buying the Trigun CD 'Spicy Stewed Doughnuts' and I bought 'The Best Of Good Charlotte'. As we exited the store Tai did something that he had never done before. he walked me home. We talked some more and I was saddened to see the room of the apartment building nearing with every step. After our good-byes were said and he had left I quickly ran into my room and slammed the door behind me, flinging onto my bed and burying my head into my pillows.
What is wrong with me?
I guess I sat there for about an hour until I decided I wanted to go to bed. I slowly took of my school jacket and my shirt and crawled into sanctuary. I was half-asleep when Dad came home. He knocked on my door quietly and I heard him turn the handle. He cautiously approached me and whispered my name. I didn't answer him. He reached over to feel my forehead to check that I wasn't sick.
Finally satisfied he planted a kiss on my head and said goodnight, carefully shutting the door behind him.
He had made me feel so much better by just standing by me then. As if to say that what ever I was going through that we could get through it together. Parents, they can be so dense at times but whatever my dad had done had calmed my nerves and a few minutes later I was drifting away on a soft white dream cloud.

Yami I'm sorry that I 'stole' your Trigun CD but I needed it for the story.
