AN: hehe! 15.5 lolz, I sound so silly. All right, honestly, 15.5 is just the part of chapter 15 that I didn't put in because it just didn't fit in too well. ^ ^

Chapter uh… 15.5?
Yamato sighed in the elevator as he waited patiently for the light to highlight the highest number. Leaning against the wall casually, he watched as the last of the denizens stepped off of the elevator. When the doors of the elevator closed and the rectangular box began to ascend once more, the handsome blonde broke out into a wide grin and fingered his lips lightly.
He could still taste the cherry flavor from her lips that lingered on his own. Sora's heavenly scent was imprinted in his mind, and Yamato swore that the elevator car contained her light perfume as well. The mechanical ring informed Yamato that the elevator had stopped on his floor, and the blonde stepped off, heading straight for his penthouse door, key in hand.
It was late, and Yamato was greeted with darkness. The objects of the large residence remained shadowed and lifeless, unlike how it once was when his mother still lived with them. A faint light emitted from the kitchen door, and Yamato guessed it must have been his father, not yet asleep and perhaps even waiting for the blonde to arrive.
Walking along the hall in his socks, Yamato came to a stop in front of the lit room and slowly entered. Mr. Ishida sat on a stool at the marble island, nursing a mug of hot coffee and reading a Freud novel. He looked up from his hardcover book and peered at his eldest son through his reading glasses, expecting an explanation.
"I'm home." Yamato announced.
"Where have you been?" His father replied, sternly.
"Out… Dad, it's not that late, I've come home at later times before."
"Where have you been?" Headmaster Ishida repeated.
Yamato knew it was no use, his father had heard of the news that spread like a disease among the student body. "With the most amazing girl I've ever met."
"Blind affections." The elder of the two scoffed.
"Dad, you don't understand, she's the most amazing girl. She's smart, funny, beauti-"
"Yamato Ishida, you know very well of my rules! Rules that you will live by when you live under my roof."
The blonde grew impatient, "Why?! Why are you like this?!"
"I'll tell you why, Yamato, soon I will see your grades drop, your future taken away from you. You will become blinded and irresponsible, and I will not let that happen."
"You can't say that'll happen if you don't let me try. I can show you that it'll work out. Sora she's, she's this incredible girl and I guarantee you, her grades are better than mine-"
"NO. I have already been lenient enough to letting you have your own band, I will not stand for this."
"You don't have to, if I must, I'll move in with mom."
Yamato hit a sensitive spot of his father's and the man's anger fumed. "Do NOT say that when you are under my roof. You will NOT speak of such foolishness."
"I'll do it for Sora!"
"You've already become irrational!"
The blonde sighed and took in a deep breath. His father was right, he was letting his anger get the better of him, and his words did not show his maturity. If he wasn't careful, he might lose the battle for sure. He spoke up again, this time calmly, "Dad, just give us a try."
The calm words of his son startled Mr. Ishida. The headmaster paused before saying, "She's not good enough for you. The girl's father left her."
"No dad, you don't understand because you've been too blind and you've never given her a chance."
"I'M blind?! I don't understand why my own son would prefer a bastard child!"
Yamato didn't care anymore, that was the last straw. "Don't call her a bastard child! This girl is far smarter, more beautiful, and cleverer than you are ever willing to give her credit for because you are too stuck up and stubborn! Calling her a bastard child?! Who's immature now?!"
The blonde's outburst left the headmaster dumbfounded, and at a loss of words. Never had his son raised his voice at him or disobeyed his orders. At the price of his ego, Mr. Ishida admitted that calling the girl a bastard child was not the best choice of words, and for that, he owed her a chance. "Is a chance all you're asking for, Yamato?"
The expression in the boy's eyes softened, "Please…"
The small please surprised the father, though Yamato had never disobeyed, nor had he been very polite towards his father. Perhaps this girl was someone he should give a chance to. "I still do not approve of your choice, Yamato, but I believe a chance is not too much to ask for. But I warn you, one mistake, one grade drops, one complaint, and you and her are over."
Yamato's eyes widened with disbelief, did his father just give them a chance? Headmaster Ishida, the strictest and most stubborn of headmasters? Him? The blonde simply nodded and walked out of the room without another word.
Don't do anything stupid, Ishida. Yamato warned himself.
AN: Extremely short chapter, but I'll be working on stuff during the vacation and hopefully not too busy playing video games… heh… so I went back and change a TINY tiny two sentences of chapter 15. I realized that we start off in Sora's Lexus, and then end up in Yamato's BMW, so I just wrote that they went home first to drop off their bags and switch cars. Still didn't proofread for grammar mistakes… it's late and I'm SLEEPY. Lolz, well I uploaded this VERY short chapter fast didn't I?
Don't know when chapter 16 will be up, but I'm kinda constant I guess… I can say that the longest you'll hafta wait is a week.
