Chapter 5- The Other Side
"TAI!!" WAKE UP!!!!" Sora screamed pushing Tai off their double so he landed in a sprawl on the ground.
"What?" He replied groggily, opening one eye from on the ground before pulling the quilt off the bed and onto his body trying to resume sleep.
"Well you promised a certain little person in this house something. Can you remember what Tai?" Sora replied staring at the sprawl on the floor placing her hands on her hips.
"Well why didn't you say so!" Tai answered sitting up and grabbing Sora's arm so she fell on top of him.
"God Tai. Your so Immature!" Sora giggled as Tai flipped her over and planted a sweet little kiss on her lips before they were interrupted.
"DADDY WHEN ARE WE GOWING TO DA PARK!" A little girl shrieked from outside the bedroom. They could hear her annoyed little footsteps get closer before the door swung open.
The little girl stood there her own little hands placed on her hips. Her auburn hair didn't quite reach her shoulders but curled a little in a cute fashion. Her chocolate eyes gleamed in annoyance, her toddler denim shorts and white T-shirt had already got chocolate spread and toast crumbs down the front and she tapped her little Nike shocks (which had just been laced) in annoyance.
"Daddy can we go now pwease!" The little girl mumbled heading towards the bed as Sora and Tai stood up. "Oh daddy your still in your knickers." The girl cried in amusement as Tai stood up in the boxer shorts he had slept in.
"There boxers!" Tai said picking up the toddler and slinging her over his shoulder (fireman's lift) before running out the room and dropping her the sofa (gently so not to hurt her). Running back to the room he came face to face with Sora. "Hey out! I need to change!" He said watching as Sora raised an eyebrow.
"Make me!" She muttered smirking.
"Fine!" Tai said in defeat going round her as if she had won but turning to her back and picking her.
"TAI!" She squealed kicking her legs as he dropped her on the sofa (Yes the little girl had got off!).
"RIGHT!" Tai said running back to the bedroom poking his head around the door so they couldn't see his body. "I'M GETTING CHANGED AND NO GIRLIES AND NO SORA ALLOWED!" He said cockily flashing a grin before closing the door.
In a matter of minutes he exited the bedroom wearing casual trackie bottoms and a plain white shirt. Gucci glasses just hid his chocolate eyes.
"What's with the glasses?" Sora asked again rising an eyebrow, peering out the window, the sun was only just peeking through the clouds.
"Sora when you have glasses like these you HAVE to wear them!" He replied.
"Yeah, and now I regret I bought you them!" She muttered as Tai bent down to talk to the little girl.
"Okay." He said putting his glasses (well trying without getting them caught) onto his hair. "Have you brushed your teeth?"
"Yup!" The girl replied nodding her head to emphasise her yes.
"Brushed your hair?"
"Yup!"
"Washed your face?"
"Yup!"
"Well I've done none of them so I'll be five minutes hun." Tai said running to the bathroom and locking the door.
"Oh dad!" The girl said her face pulled into a scowl at the prospect of more waiting. "Momma are these glasses, glasses that have to be worn?" The little girl asked pulling out her own pair of Disney (Me no own that) Finding Nemo (or that) glasses.
"Well honey, lets look in the mirror." Sora said swooping the girl up into her arms and walking over to the mirror which was hanging on the wall. "You know what hun? I think they are those kind of glasses!" Sora said staring at there reflection as the little girl put the glasses on. "And you look cute in them to sweetness." Sora soothed puzzled as the girls face fell. "What's wrong Lai?"
"She looks so sad, she crying momma!" The girl exclaimed peering at the mirror closely not letting her eyes leave.
Puzzled Sora continued to stare at the reflection of her and her daughter, amused by her daughters imagination ability she played along.
"You know what they say, a mirror is a door into someone else's world, maybe the girl just wants a friend?"
"No momma, she's upset she wants a momma and daddy." The girl stressed trying to get her momma to understand.
"Well, maybe if we blow her a kiss she'll stop crying." Sora said opening her palm and holding it near her lips to blow a kiss, the little girl copying her motion.
"Hey what are you two doing? The only kissing in this house will include me not the mirror!" Tai said from behind making them jump. Placing the little girl on the floor (who instantly grabbed Tai's hand).
"Are we going now daddy." The girl said looking up and smiling.
"Yes!" Tai said pecking Sora on the cheek.
"Lets go then!"
"Fine, fine!" Tai muttered turning towards the door. "We'll be back by five." He called before closing the apartment door.
Waving goodbye Sora wondered over to the window, staring out at the late morning sun, she found it peaceful and calming. Don't get her wrong she loved every moment she spent with her family but..... Sometimes........ Just sometimes it was soothing to be left alone in the house to think and wonder as she pleased. Think about what would come and what had gone, what was there and what was not, what was in reach and what was afar or what was for dinner and whether it was Tai's night to cook. Soon she found her self drifting around the living room for no particular reason, just here and there, tidying and moving things.
When it was about midday she began tidying the shelf's, her gaze fell upon a picture of Malaika beaming while holding a soccer ball, pride swelling she began to laugh she remembered the day well-
"That's it." Tai said lovingly as the toddler walked steadily up to the ball. Just next to her Sora kneeled with her video camera videoing the child's motions.
The sun was just lowering and they had been there all day as the fully eaten picnic that was still spread out showed.
Slowly the child crept up to the ball as Tai shouted encouragement, now the ball was no more than two inches from her little foot. Looking up at her daddy who was little more than a metre in between a goal constructed from two jumpers on the grass she tilted her head to one side before, smiled cockily and picked the ball up and throw it in the opposite direction (much to Tai's dismay).
"No." Tai said retrieving the ball and placing it near her foot once more. "You see this." He said pointing to her tiny Adidas trainers as she nodded. "These kick this [pointing to the soccer ball] Like this." He said kicking the soccer ball so that it flew through the goal and further.
"See!" He said pointing to the ball at the end of the field. "That's how far you can make the ball fly, then they'll be two in the family who are good at soccer." Tai whispered loud enough for Sora to hear.
"Don't listen daddy's telling fibs cuz momma's better than him." Sora said putting the camera down on the grass and retrieving the soccer ball standing behind Tai.
"Nope momma's just sad cuz daddy always beats her." Tai said kneeling on one knee in front of the child smiling cheekily.
"Daddy's just teasing momma cuz momma can kick his butt." Sora said placing the ball on her hips.
"Prove it then, but its useless, I can still kick your butt one on one." Tai said standing up to face Sora.
"Fine two goals first to score in the others, agreed?" Sora said flicking a few strands of hair out of her eyes.
"Bring it." Tai exclaimed grabbing some cups and plates to make a second goal about 20 metres from his own.
Placing the ball in the middle of the goals Tai stepped back.
"Ladies first." Tai stated stepping back inviting Sora to start.
"I don't need to." She replied confidently letting Tai stand by the ball once again, glancing over at Malaika who was watching from the picnic blanket her eyes wide with excitement. She watched as Tai stepped towards the ball.
"Fine but you don't know what your in for." He whispered using his skills to dribble the ball around Sora towards her goal, darting back she ran at the side of him before tapping the ball from under his feet and gaining control, dribbling forward towards Tai's goal, she was aware as Tai came up from behind. Taking over her he darted to his goal just in time to block a shot volleying the ball (when the ball hits your chest and then falls at your feet for you to control) and tapped it over her head and receiving the ball behind her. As Tai approached her goal she slid and slide tackled him (well it explains itself).
"FOUL!" Tai shouted pointing at Sora accusingly.
"NO WAY!" She shouted back not caring about the mud stains on her jeans.
"YES WAY THAT WAS A FOUL! A F-O-U-L!" Tai shouted back.
"I'M SURPRISED YOU CAN SPELL THAT CUZ YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!" She shrieked.
"LETS NOT GET PERSONAL MRS I'M GONNA FOUL TO WIN!"
"GOD YOUR SO COMPETITIVE!"
"ME!" Tai shouted both of them locking eyes neither wanting the other to win.
"Look daddy I did it I did it, look momma look!" The little girl cried, turning around Tai and Sora could see the little girl beaming from behind, standing behind Tai's goal, the soccer ball near her feet and a look of triumph in her little face.
"What?" Tai and Sora said in unison walking over to the little girl.
"Look, you kick this." She said pointing to the soccer ball. "With these." She continued pointing to her trainers. "Like this." She finished taking a couple of steps back then kicking the ball with all her might so that it just rolled over the imaginary line.
"That's MY girl!" Tai said beaming with pride running over to the smiling girl and swinging her around. Smiling also Sora rummaged in her bag for the digital camera, after about five minutes of finding and setting up the camera, the little girl was already smiling, clutching the soccer ball to her chest. After a few snaps from every angle she returned the camera to the bag and began to pack up the things as the little girl kicked the soccer ball around on the imaginary pitch.
"So then I guess that means I win." Sora said slyly as Tai help pack away the picnic plates and cups.
"What?" Tai replied looking up from the basket and raising an eyebrow.
"Well the ball went through your goal." Sora replied smiling cockily mimicking Tai's trademark smile.
"And you didn't score it!" Tai stated.
"But you lost."
"You fouled me, therefore I would have got a penalty and would have scored anyway so theoretically I win."
"Big words but still a l-o-s-e-r."
"Why do you always have to get personal bitch." Tai whispered so Malaika (who was still kicking the soccer ball around happily) couldn't hear.
"Watch your language, bastard." She whispered back.
"Whore!"
"Man-hoe!"
"Go run back to Mattie."
"Go shag someone who gives a damn."
"God your immature." Tai said pushing Sora over into the mud who quickly returned the gesture by pulling his leg so he fell with her. Within moments they were both laughing.
"God we're stupid." Sora whispered before planting a kiss lightly on Tai's lips (which he happily returned) in a mock make up gesture.
"I still win!" Tai soothed placing a figure to her lips.
"I win honey!" She replied biting his finger lightly.
"I WIN I WIN I WIN I WIN!" The little girl screamed jumping up and down as she kicked the soccer ball.
"Yeah she wins." They both said in unison before standing up.
-
Suddenly she was interrupted by what sounded like glass shattering, glancing at the mirror she shook the thought off and placed the picture back on the shelf and walked over to window for know apparent reason apart from that it was the perfect place to think. But what about? She thought. But she knew that suddenly the atmosphere of the room had changed.
Suddenly the vibration of her phone made her lose her train of thought, smiling she walked across the room to the shelf it was on, as she walked she felt as if she had walked through a phase of warm air, like something was there but again mentally shrugging it off she continued across the room to the shelf her mobile was on.
"Oh Tai." Sora soothed as she read the message.

Placing the gadget down she could feel the same presence as before. Puzzled she walked back to the window. 'Don't be stupid Sora.' She thought looking out the window. 'You won't go down that road again. Stop wishing.' She thought continued to stare out the window as if to cast the thoughts aside.
"I wan't a hug." Said a voice that echoed through her ear, causing her insides to become frozen. 'I want to hug you too, honey I want to hug you too!' A part of Sora screamed, but her mouth had become to numb to voice it. 'No. STOP IT. JUST STOP IT SORA! Stop making it up stop, you stopped them before you can stop them now!' She mentally coached herself screaming at her own imagination to make her stop hearing the voice. Almost on cue she heard the smash of glass but forced herself not to look not to give in to her own mind games.
At once she could hear the lullaby, urgent and clear.
'Its getting weaker, she's going, she's leaving me again!" A voice inside Sora screamed.
The lullaby was nearly finished and the voice becoming more urgent. 'She's leaving!'
"I'm ready." Sora finished turning to face the mirror in a look of confusion, hope and surprise.
'You let her leave.' A part of her whispered as Sora continued to look out the window.
'You let her leave.' It repeated tears rolling down Sora's cheeks.
"ITS NOT HER." Sora screamed to the empty room. "JUST STOP IT." She screamed before collapsing on the sofa, her head in her hands as old tears awakened.
To be continued
Hope you liked it, its really hard to write almost the same chapter from someone else's point of view, but its done and I hope it was good. Anyway please review as I LOVE to hear your comments. Oh I thought I'd mention that the names of all the characters that I made up e.g. Malaika, Aroha there names actually mean something. Dunno whether you picked that up if not its K?
Yay like 100 percent more Tai and Malaika!
