I decided to have a little bit of fun and created a huge love chain:
sora and the pairings are:::: drums:::::::
Yamora (Sorato), Taito, Takeichi, Miyakeru, Ioryako, Miori, Daimi, Kensuke, Hiken, Jyokari, Koushyou and a beginning of Taiora (I DON'T BELIEVE I'M DOING STRAIGHT PAIRINGS!!!) Okay, here the main stuff is Taito, Kensuke and Koushyou - but I'm surprised, I don't usually write Koushyou. I never write it. This fic is totally out of my control.
And my reviewers are: Le Fromage (this fic is about to become weirder^_^;;), nEo-cHaN (I continue) and carine (WE know Taichi wins!!!). Thank you, I love you.

Series 03: Love Chains and Coffee

by Wormmonsoul

Next day, school. Taichi's POV

So, here they are, sweet doves of love acting like they are Titanic and an iceberg that are about to clash. Something is up again, if Sora looks ready to kill. Yeah, right. A week ago Yamato was at my place complaining of his headache and naturally we ended up kissing. Naturally, Sora found us out.

"Hello, Sora!" Sora, not Yamato.

"Good morning." She looked at me with contempt and you could say the morning was far from being good behind her eyes.

"Hi, Taichi," said Yamato miserably. My heart gave a huge leap, froze and beat faster. I assumed an indifferent air.

"Hi, Ishida." There was an awkward pause and I could tell each of us felt silly. Luckily, Koushiro saved the day by turning up.

"Uhm, can I have you for a minute, Taichi?"

"For a lifetime, if you like..." I let myself be pulled away. "I owe you. What's up, Koushiro?"

The redhead started to talk about Chosen Children, computers, school reports, stuff I didn't give a damn right then, when my whole being trembled with a mere thought that Yamato was outside, his big blue eyes shocked. Sora was simply puzzled. I mumbled an excuse and got away from Koushiro... Poor guy, he looked like he could do with some talking. Apparently, something was seriously wrong...

I stalked Sora all day until she was alone, so I crept up to her. "Sora, dear?" Sora turned sharply. Tragedy of my life, was written across her features. "I'd like to... to say sorry... about what happened last week..." I stuttered. What I needed is to produce an impression of complete misery, and I knew Sora would jump at the opportunity to comfort me. Acting like a mother, my ass. "I'm so sorry!"

Her eyes softened a bit. "But I don't understand, Taichi!" she said in a voice close to tears. "Why do you have to do it, why?!"

I took her hand. I looked her in the eye. I lied. "Sora, I can't keep it as a secret any longer. Yamato knew of course... Sora, what happened was..." I took a deep breath. I looked her in the eyes willing her to understand. "Sora..." I whispered in a lovesick voice. She pulled her hand out of mine abruptly.

"If you're in love with Yamato, it's your problem!" she barked. "Yamato told me he doesn't love you back! He swore never to touch you again!"

"No!" I protested and my heart chilled. "You don't understand... Listen to me!" She gave it some thought then nodded. "I kissed him because... well, I wanted to taste you on his lips..." That was such a downright lie that I blushed. I'm not a heartless bastard Yamato thinks I am. "I was jealous, I guess... After you rejected me..." Sora gasped. Her eyes became watery. I went for the kill. "It's been a long time... Sora... I'm sorry... I'm still in love with you."

The girl broke out in tears. "Stupid Taichi..." I pulled her in the arms in what I hoped a sincere hug. "Taichi," she muttered helplessly. "How could you..."

"I'm sorry. You don't have to blame Yamato - he really tried to help, being my close friend and all, but it hurt me to see you with him.." At least that was true.

Sora stiffened and pulled away. "But I can't answer your feelings, Taichi. I'm with Yamato. I love him."

"I know," I whispered. "My mistake..."

"It's okay," she smiled sweetly, squeezing my hand. "I really want to be your friend, Taichi."

God, how fast girls fall for this lovesick rubbish. I smiled back. "Thank you."

She walked past me to where Yamato stood, unnoticed by me and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I felt sick.

"You're forgiven," Sora told Yamato. His face brightened, but he spared a guilty glance at me. So, I pulled my gentleman's act once again and came up to them with a generous smile.

"I want you two to be happy," I said. But I swear I'd do anything to make life a hell for you, Sora. Yamato is gonna be mine someday, somehow, somewhere. Oh, fluff. I just want to have a full right to f*** him stupid. The doves hugged each other before my very eyes.

*******

Next thing to happen was Koushiro's overdose of coffee. Taichi noticed him drinking his sixth cup after school and bury himself in his laptop again.

"What's up, Koushiro?"

The redhead jumped and looked at his friend. His eyes were red and completely out of focus. His hands shook. "Taichi?"

"No, Harry Potter."

"Where?" Koushiro looked behind Taichi's back quite seriously, pretending to pay full attention and blowing his act.

"Only kidding."

"Oh." Suddenly Koushiro squeezed his temples hard and shut his eyes. "My head!..."

Taichi landed on the chair next to him and took Koushiro's seventh cup of coffee.

"Taichi!" Koushiro gasped in pain. "I meant to confess - I've got rejected recently... The love of my life has slammed the door in my face... Taichi, I think I'm dying!!!" he added in panic. "Circles in my eyes... Get that fucking laptop away from me!!" he said a bit too loudly.

Taichi silently wondered. "Don't worry, Koushiro. You don't have to sign your will yet... It's okay."

"It's NOT!"

"Whoa, calm down!"

"I'm okay, fine, just perfect, my head DOESN'T hurt AT ALL. Can you BELIEVE it?!!"

Taichi scowled and noticed Ichijouji Ken enter the cafe. "Hey, Ken!! Over here!" What's the fuck he's doing here? he thought.

Ken jerked out of his stupor, stumbled across to them and slumped down on the seat, turning his brief-case upside down, and the pencils, books and notes came flying out of it.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry," mumbled the genius scrambling them up and stuffing them back in. Taichi and Koushiro exchanged glances.

"What are you doing here, Ken?"

"I sort of... came to visit Daisuke, but he had OTHER things to do, so I decided to go back... had to call at the library anyway... no time at all... packed with homework..." muttered Ken.

"Why didn't you go to Miyako...? Aren't you two dating?" Koushiro asked. Ken looked out of the window.

"She and Hikari wanted me to have an ice-cream with them, but I wasn't, well, in the mood..." With that the teen took Koushiro's eighth cup of coffee. "May I?"

"Help yourself."

Koushiro looked at him interested. "Hikari was there? What did Daisuke have to do?"

"Nothing," Ken answered, gulping down the whole cup at once.

"More coffee?" Taichi pushed one more cup to each one. Silence. The three teens sipped on their coffee. Their faces were shadowed by gloomy thoughts.

"I'm in love with Yamato," Taichi said suddenly. The boys looked up at him curiously.

"Seriously?"

"And?"

"We kissed," the brunet said. The memory of Yamato's random kisses knocked the air out of Taichi.

"Owwww!" The teens threw him envious glances.

"He told me to fuck off."

"Owwww...."

"I'm sorry," Ken said.

"Because he's with Sora!"

Everyone sighed and looked down. Several minutes passed.

"Alright!" Taichi slammed his fist on the table, startling the two boys before him out of their moping.

"Taichi?" Koushiro asked warily. "What is it? Why are you fighting the table like a crazy Agumon?"

"He just told us his secret, Koushiro. Don't be rough," Ken soothed the redhead and turned to Taichi. "I absolutely understand you, Taichi. I... hmm... I've been in love with Daisuke," he whispered blushing madly and fingering his pencil, "..for a long time but he... he.... he has a crush on Mimi!"

"MIMI?!" Koushiro and Taichi screamed in surprise. There were tears in Ken's eyes. He nodded.

"Oh my god, you've got yourself in a bloody mess," Taichi sympathized.

"But Mimi doesn't love Daisuke," Ken said with a sigh. "She has a secret crush on... well, don't you think anything hentai, well, it's just - she considers him totally adorable and cuddly, and you know how Mimi is, well, it's Iori."

"IORI?!!!!" Koushiro jumped on his seat. "He's 12 years old!!!"

"Well... " Ken looked away uncomfortably. "Basically, Iori is drawn to girls older than him."

"He's WITH Mimi?!" Taichi asked.

"No! He's in love with Miyako."

Everyone sweatdropped. Taichi grinned wryly. "Some love triangle."

"And Miyako?" Koushiro asked. "Wait, don't tell me at once or I'm gonna hyperventilate. Actually, I am already... Fine, I'm ready. Go on."

"Since Miyako pretends she goes out with me..."

"PRETENDS?"

"I happen to know she has a huge utterly shameless crush on Takeru. Who in his turn is totally and blindly in love with...err..." Ken shifted and looked at Taichi. "With Taichi here."

"Holy shit!" said the brunet. "Takeru's in love with me?! Takeru, Yamato's lil brother is in love with me? But I love Yamato!"

"But you can't have Yamato," Koushiro pointed out.

"Thank you very much. This came unexpected..." started Taichi sarcastically.

"Because he's with Sora. And my heart is completely broken as well."

"Koushiro?" two boys looked at him with interest.

"Who is it?" Taichi asked. "The bitch who dared turn you down?"

Koushiro gave him a look that suggested his despicable opinion of his big-haired friend. "I've got hots for ... well, it's been for a long time, but I couldn't... I told him, but he said, he's in love with... erm...." he said. There was a waiting pause. Koushiro went red. "It's Jyou," he mumbled. "Please, Taichi, don't be mad, but he seems to be interested in Hikari!" Taichi's face remained blank. "Hikari is your little sister," Koushiro prompted.

"Ow," said Taichi and a second later - "BASTARD, I'M SO GONNA KICK HIS ASS...!!!"

"Calm down!" the boys pulled him down and patted his shoulders reassuringly.

"Calm down, Hikari is okay, she doesn't answer Jyou's feelings, trust me.." Koushiro threw a glance at Ken who looked back puzzled. "Actually, I know the reason she hangs out with Miyako a lot..."

"Hikari can't be in love with that girl!..."

"I mean not girl! I mean Ken." Koushiro took a deep breath. "I guess I gave away a secret. Hikari is in love with you, Ken."

The indigo haired blinked. "Wow," he said after a while.

Taichi stared at his coffee. "Do you two geniuses realise what it means?" he asked. "We have the biggest love chain I've ever heard of."

The geniuses nodded in agreement.

"It appears so."

"Definitely."

"The thing is," the leader continued. "What the fuck are we gonna do?"

Silence ensued.

"More coffee?" Koushiro pointed to the remaining 15 cups.

tsuzuku...
