~Chapter 3

~Flashback~

Taichi Yagami saw what just happened. And he couldn't believe it. He rushed forward to stop everything from happening but it was too late.

Now, he held Sora Takenouchi in his arms with her eyes, teary and a smile.

"I never cried, did I?" she asked. Holding her tears back.

Taichi couldn't answer her. He didn't know what she had gone through. but he DID pity her. She never did do any harm then why did this happen?

"I tried to be strong like my brother told me." Sora said trying to assure the one who was holding her.

To Sora's part, she didn't even know who was holding her. She seemed too dizzy to even think or see who it was.

Taichi slipped his hand to her cheeks and carefully fixed the strands of hair that were around her.

To Taichi, she was like a fallen angel.

Sora gave a small smile and slowly slipped out.

Taichi didn't know what he was feeling next, he carefully took the girl in his arms and hugged her tight.

~End of flashback~

Now, Taichi looked at Sora, who was sleeping in the hospital bed.

After the incident, he, together with Yamato, Kouji and Ryo rushed Sora to the nearest hospital.

Yamato had talked to the doctor 'calmly' unlike Taichi, who kept on screaming and yelling at the poor female doctor.

"Will she be alright?" Yamato asked the doctor.

"Yes, she'll be fine in a few days. There's no permanent damage or any sort. She was just hit hard and-"

"WHAT!? HIT HARD!? HOW HARD!? IS SHE STILL ALIVE?!" Taichi boomed all the questions he can possible think of less than thirty minutes flat.

The doctor moved aback and gulped.

"She'll be fine, Mr. Yagami. I am-"

"How sure are you?" Taichi asked sternly.

The doctor remained her composure and said, "I am 100% sure of it."

Then, the doctor left.

The four are now left alone together with Sora who was resting.

"Taichi, what do you think you just did?" Ryo asked.

".I don't know." Taichi answered.

"Well, we can take that." Kouji replied.

Taichi does a lot of things without reason.

Then, Ryo and Kouji smiled.

They don't understand what was wrong with their best friend and oh, fearless leader!

"Taichi.do you like her?" Yamato asked.

Taichi looked up at him.

"What makes you say that?" Taichi asked.

"Maybe because you just saved her from your gang of bullies and probably punched him to the floor and even held her in you arms. Maybe. Just maybe." Ryo said sarcastically.

Taichi ignored him.

"Look. I. Do. Not. Like. Her." Taichi said.

"Whatever you say." Kouji said as he rolled his eyes.

Just then, the door opened to reveal a young man.

"Sor." he murmured as he rushed to Sora's side pushing Taichi away.

"Hey! Who the hell are you?!" Taichi asked.

"None of your concern Yagami. So step out of this room before I kill you!" the boy snarled.

Taichi grunted.

"No way! I am going to stay right here until she wakes up!!!" Taichi shouted.

"What's wrong with him?." Ryo whispered to Kouji.

Taichi glared at him as Kouji laughed.

"Leave. This. Room. NOW." The boy ordered harshly.

"Who the hell are you anyway? You have no reason to yell at me like that? Who are you? Her boy friend or something?" Taichi asked.

"Yes." The boy replied.

Somehow, at this point, Taichi's stomach lurched.

'Her.boy friend?'

"Damn you!" Taichi yelled furiously as he went out of the door.

Ryo and Kouji followed.

Yamato remained.

"Say hi to your sister for me." He said and left.

The boy shook his head and looked at Sora.

'Great! Now he's falling for you.'

"That.that.she has a boy friend!?" Taichi asked as he slumped himself forward to a chair.

Ryo took a seat and called a waiter.

"Vodka." He said.

"Champagne." Kouji and Yamato added.

"Beer." Taichi added to the list.

The waiter nodded and left.

The background music was melancholy and was very adequate.

"She has a boyfriend?.she has a boyfriend?." Taichi kept asking himself over and over again.

Ryo sighed.

"Look, Tai. What if she does have a boyfriend, so what? it's not that you like her or anything right?" Ryo asked.

Taichi stopped and looked at him.

"NO!" he shouted.

"See? So why do you keep on thinking about her?" Kouji asked.

".I'm not!" Taichi replied hastily.

"Your orders, sire!" the waiter said as he put the glasses down and left.

Each of them took their drink and Taichi drank his all in one gulp.

"Another one!" he called out.

One of the waiters nodded.

Yamato drank his champagne slowly and 'with style'.

"Hey guys!!!"

A young woman with long pink hair came. She wore a very elegant pink blouse with blue jeans.

"Mimi. How are 'ya?" Ryo called and waved.

Mimi smiled brightly and sat beside Yamato.

Mimi would probably the only woman who gets to be this close with the F4. And the five of them were best childhood friends and have grown up almost together.

"So.I heard you guys did something again, hm?" she asked and eyed on them suspiciously.

She stopped at Tai.

"Taichi Yagami! What did you do this time!?" Mimi yelled out.

"What? Me? How come you always know it's me!?" Taichi asked.

"Well, duh!!!! You're sulking! Tell me!!! What did you do to the poor girl!?" Mimi asked.

"Well, Tai. I better go.my mom's calling." Ryo said as he excused himself.

"Yeah. I better go home too." Kouji added.

"hey wait!!! You can't leave me ALONE here with Mimi!!!!" Taichi called out.

"it's getting late." the two replied as the were leaving.

"But it's only 9 o' clock!!!!" Taichi yelled.

Then turned to Yamato.

"Yama. You're not going to leave me too, right?" Taichi asked.

".I'm sleepy. I'm going home. see you tomorrow at school. Bye Mimi." Yamato said as he stood up and left.

Taichi sulked.

"Thanks guys!!!!" Mimi yelled and waved.

Then turned to Taichi.

"Now it's you and me. Tai. You and me. Now spill it before I get very angry at you." Mimi eyed at Tai.

Taichi gulped just as the waiter arrived with his drink.

Sora opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar place.

"Where am I?"

"In the hospital."

She turned to the voice to see her brother.

"Big brother!!!!" she called out.

Takeru hugged her.

"What were you thinking, Sor? Standing up to those people!?" Takeru scolded.

".I didn't cry." she replied.

"You got yourself hurt!" Takeru added.

"I didn't ask for help." She replied

Takeru sighed.

"Sor, your stubbornness won't get you anywhere." Takeru said in defeat.

"But I am here." Sora said with a smile.

Takeru smiled.

"okay, okay. I get the picture." Takeru said as he kissed Sora's forehead.

"Where are mum and dad?" Sora asked.

"They're paying the hospital bill." Takeru said as he stood up and grabbed something.

Takeru thought.

Sora had been staying in the hospital for three days and the hospital she was rushed in was no cheap one. hell, it was so expensive!!!! There was no way they could pay the bill.

'I have to give mum and dad the extra money I was saving. Hell, I may have to get an extra job! There's no use telling this to Sor. Mum and dad are gonna kill me!'

"here."

Takeru tossed her a bouquet of flowers.

"Flowers? I expected food." Sora said with a smile and a disappointed face.

"It's not from me." Takeru said.

"From who then? Kiyo? Ken?" Sora asked as she looked for the card.

There wasn't any.

"Taichi Yagami."
