Chapter Ten: Christmas Special (part one)
I dedicate this chapter to Budgie, who had always been there to get me going. To Budgie, who became my inspiration. And also to all those other reviewers who had been constant in making me continue this story. This chapter is dedicated to all of you. Thank you very much in making me feel so happy as you have been so delighted with the past chapters. Again, thank you. Thank you so much and Happy Holidays. =)
Ryo
I stared at Taichi who was staring at Sora. I threw my gaze at Sora who was, training with the rest of her team. Ever since, 'the incident', neither Tai nor Sora talked to each other. Sora had constantly moved away from Tai no matter what. And now, she's been devoting herself to soccer. Every single minute and time. The 'Red Warriors' had finally met their match. And that's the 'Blue Eagles'. The 'Blue Eagles' practiced more and more while the 'Red Warriors' belittled them even much, thinking that it was just pure luck and chance that they have won. Sora, their team captain, didn't take it seriously but just smiled at the thought. I smiled. Looks like Tai, has finally met his own match. I glanced at Tai. He wasn't very happy or even happy at all. He wanted to say sorry to Sora so bad but the problem is, Sora would always take distance away from him. This practically crushed Tai's heart. But I couldn't blame Sora either. But I also couldn't stand to see that Tai's been so down. What's a guy to do now?
Kouji
I watched Ryo's expression from a smile to a worried frown. I was thinking the same thing as he but I couldn't do anything. I know that I should stay out of this but the fact that it was SO obvious that Tai and Sora like each other made my head hurt. They're actually being so stubborn to admit it! Sigh. Love. What is it really? When will I find mine? Oh, please Kami-sama. I know I have been a chick-boy for a long time but please. I also need someone who I can forever be happy with. I want to know her.please give me a sign.
"Kouji!!!!" someone said from below.
".Izumi?"
0000000000000000000000000000000
Taichi
Sora must've been the best soccer player I had ever known. Wait. Next to me, of course.. Sora. why can't you see that I do like you? Please. I just need another chance. Wait. What the hell are you saying, Tai? This isn't you! Why don't you just garb her, pull her and kiss her. Then, it will be okay!!!! Yes. that's it. That's what I'll do. I won't wait any longer.
Taichi stood up.
00000000000000000000000000000000 "Sora."
"Yamato?"
"Hey." Yamato greeted timidly.
"Hey." Sora replied with a smile.
"W-what are you doing here?" Sora added, quite surprised that Yamato came all the way there just to see her.
"I was wondering if you want to come with me tonight." Yamato replied.
"Tonight? But I-" Sora said, trying not to go with him.
True, Sora and Yamato had been going out for quite some time now. And you could clearly see that they're beginning to be really close. But.
Yamato looked at Sora.
"O-okay." Sora said with a perk in her eyes.
"Thanks. C'mon. I'll help you with your duffel bag." Yamato said as he carried Sora's bag and pulled her away.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Taichi just saw what Yamato did and he wasn't happy at all. No wonder Matt was always not around when they have their weekend gimmicks. He was with Sora.
He was with HIS angel.
NO.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Mother, for the last time. I am staying here!" Hikari screamed at her mother.
"You have no right to raise your voice like that, young lady! no! no! no!" Mrs. Yagami said as she pulled Hikari.
Hikari shoved off her mother that sent her to the floor.
"You've always want everything to go your way and never mine. You want me to be this, like that and do this and that. but not anymore! I can't take it! I want to live my own life! So whether you like it or not, I am staying here with TK!" Hikari said as she barged away.
Mrs. Yagami gave a deep breath as she saw Taichi walk in the room.
"Taichi. Pack your things. we're leaving tomorrow." His mother said as she stood up and sat on the ivory-chair.
"Okay."
Mrs. Yagami looked at his son. His rebellious son agreed to go with her to America. He didn't object.
"good." His mother replied.
Taichi didn't say anything else and just walked up to his room.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Taichi
If Sora doesn't like me and likes Yamato, then fine. I don't care. I don't like her either. I never did anyway. It was just that she's so damn irresistible.. So, anyways, good riddance in my case. I wouldn't be thinking of her all the time now!
0000000000000000000000
"Why are we here, Yamato?" Sora asked as they entered the park.
".I want to tell you something." Yamato said as he walked towards the monkey bars.
Sora followed.
Yamato hung himself upside down once again.
"We've been together a lot of time for the past few weeks, haven't we?" Yamato asked.
"Yeah." Sora replied as she sat down on the grass and looked at the night sky.
"Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Yamato asked.
"Why? Should it mean something, Yamato?" Sora asked a little bit confused.
Sure. Yamato and her had been going out a lot of time but those were just friendly talks. And always.the topics have been Taichi. Sora couldn't just face the fact that she too, cared for Tai but the problem is, she's too shy or proud to tell it to him. More importantly, on what Tai did to her, screaming, made her heart so broken.
"No.not at all. You know.I'll tell you onto a secret but you shouldn't say it to anyone.promise?"
"Promise." Sora said with a smile.
"Do you know how you can stop tears from falling even if you are so sad?"
Sora shook her head.
"Hang upside down. It's very effective" Yamato said as he looked at the stars.
Before he could tell Sora something else, Sora hung herself upside down.
"Yamato.it won't stop."
Yamato was stunned to see Sora crying.
"Yamato.I'm still crying. You said that my tears won't fall." Sora said.
Yamato didn't say anything.
"I miss him, Yamato. I miss him a lot." Sora said as her tears kept on falling.
0000000000
The next day.
"Tai! Wait!!!!"
Taichi turned to see his buds.
"What the hell are you leaving for?" Ryo asked quite angry.
"My mom wants me to leave." Tai replied.
"So?" Ryo asked.
"Look, Ryo. I am just doing what mother wants me to do. So buzz off! For a change, I'm listening to her. After all, parents know what's best for their children." Tai said angrily.
"Oh, so now it's my fault!? it should be your fault since you're the one who's running away from your problems! And mind you, you're the one who said before that parents don't have control over our world. It's our decisions, it's our life." Ryo yelled.
Tai was about to punch Ryo when a hand stopped him.
"Let go of him, Yamato. Let him punch me." Ryo said as Kouji tried to stop him.
"If you don't let go of my hand, Matt. I swear I'll punch you next." Tai threatened as he glared angrily at Yamato.
"Then do it. After all, I know I have hurt you." Yamato replied.
Tai widened his eyes as Kouji and Ryo looked at each other.
".Just take good care of her, Yamato. If I hear that you've hurt her, I'll come back here and take her away." Tai said as he walked away.
"Tai!!!! What about the F4!?" Ryo yelled.
"The F4 will always be the F4." Yamato replied.
"Yeah." Kouji said.
"But now, we're the F3!" Ryo exclaimed.
"You can find someone better than me. I bet." Taichi said as he waved his hand.
Yamato ran to him and whispered something to his ear.
00000000000000000000000000000000000
Sora ran as fast as she could to the airport.
She had gotten a message from Yamato that Tai was leaving.
For good.
But why!?!?
Why?!?!
Tai.don't leave me.
Sora suddenly found herself falling to the ground.
Just then, an airplane zoomed away..
Taichi..
I..
I love you.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"She loves you Tai..and not me. You."
Those last words echoed to Taichi's head.
When realization came to him, he was already on board the plane and had taken off.
"I want to get off!!!!! Let me off!!!!!!!" he started screaming.
Mrs. Yagami spanked him to his senses.
"Shut up, Tai. We can't get off since we're already off!!!!"
"NO!!!!!! I want to be with Sora!!!! Let me go!" he yelled.
"You decided this for yourself so live with it."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Oh, hi big brother. How are you?" Sora asked as she entered the Hospital room.
"Fine." Takeru replied.
"Mr. Takaishi. I would want to see you in a better shape tomorrow. Understand?" the nurse said as she walked away.
"What was that about?" Sora asked.
"Nothing." Takeru replied.
".big brother." Sora started off.
"Okay, okay." Takeru said as he looked out the window.
"I'm not getting better.." Takeru replied.
".why?!" Sora asked, worried.
"The doctor said something about a virus that I got during the accident. He said that it might be dangerous if I don't check on it soon." Takeru said.
Sora hugged Takeru.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!?" Sora asked.
"I heard from Kari that you had a soccer match and I don't want to ruin your practice. Besides-"
"No. that's not a good reason, brother. But listen up. You'll get a surgery so you could be all better. understand?" Sora said in a determined way as she gave Takeru a thumbs-up.
Takeru thought for a while.
"Ask money from mom and dad. Okay?" Takeru said with a smile.
"Of course!" Sora said.
Just then, the door opened and in came Kari.
"How are you Takeru?" she asked nicely.
"Don't worry, Kari. I'm okay." Takeru replied as Kari gave TK a peck on the cheek.
"That's good to hear." Kari replied.
Just then, she noticed Sora in the room.
"Sora, I'm really sorry about the decision Tai made. In truth, I didn't expect him to go with my mother." Kari explained.
Sora shook her head.
"It's okay, Hikari. I understand. Tai doesn't love me." And with that, Sora left.
"You just don't know." Kari murmured.
0000000000000000
"Kouichi..?" Izumi asked over the phone.
"Yeah?" the voice asked.
"Are we still on for that date?" Izumi asked, blushing a bit.
Kouichi was silent for a while.
"Sure! But.could it be about.after New Year? I'm kindda busy with my work." Kouichi said.
"Oh, sure! No problem! I just miss seeing you." Izumi said.
"Uh, me too. Oh. I better go. Bye." Kouichi replied as their conversation ended.
0000000000000000000
"A date? For Christmas Eve!? Mom.you've got to be kidding. I want Christmas Eve to be spent with my friends! Especially now that Tai's gone and-"
"No, Ryo. you will be spending the night with this girl I set up you with. I want you at Odaiba Hotel, 8 0' clock sharp on Christmas Eve. You hear?"
"..Yes, mom." Ryo replied heavily.
"Good. And oh yes..behave." his mother said.
Ryo was left to sigh and prepare himself for another boring date with a rich-obnoxious-so-self-centered-lady.
"Life.." Ryo muttered.
00000000000000000000000000000000
Kouji watched the snow fall that night.
How he loved the snow so much.
They seem to be so peaceful and everything.
He drove his car till he reached the end of a cliff and got off.
"Life's such worry." he muttered as he saw the city lights of Odaiba that night.
"I wonder.will I be able to find someone who I can really love? Not because that she is rich or because she is someone who needs to be proud of? Could I really find someone who would love me just the way I am?" Kouji asked.
Kouji was actually very. 'playful' when it comes to women. You could see him playing with girls and do stuffs with them but he never thinks of a woman where he can be happy with forever.
But in truth he yearns for the day that he can find one.
"When will that be?"
0000000000000000000000000000000
Yamato walked around the streets of Odaiba where Christmas lights were all around, glistening and shining in joy. But the look on Yamato's face was contrast to that.
"Christmas is the season to be jolly." he started to sing.
But stopped when he saw a familiar red-head. But. why was she working in a French Restaurant. Isn't she supposed to be at Shirley's?
"Sora?" he asked as he entered the restaurant.
"Yamato! Um.what are you doing here?" Sora asked, surprised.
".I want to eat." Yamato replied as he picks a seat.
Sora nodded and quickly followed him to take his order.
"Shouldn't you be at Shirley's?" Yamato asked.
".I just came from there." Sora replied, careful not to look at Yamato.
Sora was already embarrassed to the thought that Yamato saw her on her first day of work. ".why?" Yamato asked.
Sora didn't know if she was suppose to answer that question.
".I..what do you want to order?" she quickly said.
"answer my question first." Yamato said sternly.
"Yamato. I'm in the middle of my job. Please. I want my first day to go well." Sora said with her eyes still not meeting Yamato's.
"No, Sora. I want you to answer my question. Why are you here?" he asked.
"Why do you need to know?" Sora asked quite irritated.
Yamato seems to be pulling Sora off and she wasn't happy about it. She wants this job to go perfect so she can have a Christmas bonus. Then, there would be a greater chance for his brother.
Yes. For his brother.
Sora didn't ask money from his parents like Takeru said.
Sora knew that her parents barely had money to live back at the province. She's not going to cost them more trouble. She decided to take three jobs during the semestral break. One was at Shirley's. the other at Chateau restaurant and lastly, a fast food joint.
"Sora, can't you see that I'm trying to care for you?" Yamato asked a bit worried.
Even though Yamato wants to hide it, he has to face the fact that he was falling for Sora. Now, he understands why Tai likes her so much. she looked so everything to him.
"Yamato. Let's not play games. I know that you really don't like me or love me to the fact. But what you're doing is just some way to forget about Mimi. I know and I can feel it. You're just using me." Sora replied then left.
Yamato sat there, thinking.
Was he just saying that he loves Sora because he misses Mimi?
Was that it after all?
00000000000000000000000000000000000
okay, everyone. That's it for the chap. And oh yeah! If you noticed, I put Takeru's surname as Takaishi. I read my past chapters and got a teensy- weensy mistake. It's supposedly Sora Takaishi and Takeru Takaishi. Not Sora and Takeru Takenouchi. Okay? Sorry for the mistake. =)
I dedicate this chapter to Budgie, who had always been there to get me going. To Budgie, who became my inspiration. And also to all those other reviewers who had been constant in making me continue this story. This chapter is dedicated to all of you. Thank you very much in making me feel so happy as you have been so delighted with the past chapters. Again, thank you. Thank you so much and Happy Holidays. =)

Taichi just saw what Yamato did and he wasn't happy at all. No wonder Matt was always not around when they have their weekend gimmicks. He was with Sora.
He was with HIS angel.
NO.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Mother, for the last time. I am staying here!" Hikari screamed at her mother.
"You have no right to raise your voice like that, young lady! no! no! no!" Mrs. Yagami said as she pulled Hikari.
Hikari shoved off her mother that sent her to the floor.

Mrs. Yagami gave a deep breath as she saw Taichi walk in the room.
"Taichi. Pack your things. we're leaving tomorrow." His mother said as she stood up and sat on the ivory-chair.
"Okay."
Mrs. Yagami looked at his son. His rebellious son agreed to go with her to America. He didn't object.
"good." His mother replied.
Taichi didn't say anything else and just walked up to his room.

The next day.
"Tai! Wait!!!!"
Taichi turned to see his buds.
"What the hell are you leaving for?" Ryo asked quite angry.
"My mom wants me to leave." Tai replied.

"Look, Ryo. I am just doing what mother wants me to do. So buzz off! For a change, I'm listening to her. After all, parents know what's best for their children." Tai said angrily.

"Oh, hi big brother. How are you?" Sora asked as she entered the Hospital room.
"Fine." Takeru replied.

"Kouichi..?" Izumi asked over the phone.
"Yeah?" the voice asked.
"Are we still on for that date?" Izumi asked, blushing a bit.
Kouichi was silent for a while.
"Sure! But.could it be about.after New Year? I'm kindda busy with my work." Kouichi said.
"Oh, sure! No problem! I just miss seeing you." Izumi said.
"Uh, me too. Oh. I better go. Bye." Kouichi replied as their conversation ended.
0000000000000000000

Ryo was left to sigh and prepare himself for another boring date with a rich-obnoxious-so-self-centered-lady.

"Christmas is the season to be jolly." he started to sing.
But stopped when he saw a familiar red-head. But. why was she working in a French Restaurant. Isn't she supposed to be at Shirley's?
"Sora?" he asked as he entered the restaurant.
"Yamato! Um.what are you doing here?" Sora asked, surprised.
".I want to eat." Yamato replied as he picks a seat.
Sora nodded and quickly followed him to take his order.
"Shouldn't you be at Shirley's?" Yamato asked.
".I just came from there." Sora replied, careful not to look at Yamato.
Sora was already embarrassed to the thought that Yamato saw her on her first day of work. ".why?" Yamato asked.
Sora didn't know if she was suppose to answer that question.
".I..what do you want to order?" she quickly said.
"answer my question first." Yamato said sternly.
"Yamato. I'm in the middle of my job. Please. I want my first day to go well." Sora said with her eyes still not meeting Yamato's.
"No, Sora. I want you to answer my question. Why are you here?" he asked.
"Why do you need to know?" Sora asked quite irritated.
Yamato seems to be pulling Sora off and she wasn't happy about it. She wants this job to go perfect so she can have a Christmas bonus. Then, there would be a greater chance for his brother.
Yes. For his brother.
Sora didn't ask money from his parents like Takeru said.
Sora knew that her parents barely had money to live back at the province. She's not going to cost them more trouble. She decided to take three jobs during the semestral break. One was at Shirley's. the other at Chateau restaurant and lastly, a fast food joint.
"Sora, can't you see that I'm trying to care for you?" Yamato asked a bit worried.
Even though Yamato wants to hide it, he has to face the fact that he was falling for Sora. Now, he understands why Tai likes her so much. she looked so everything to him.
"Yamato. Let's not play games. I know that you really don't like me or love me to the fact. But what you're doing is just some way to forget about Mimi. I know and I can feel it. You're just using me." Sora replied then left.
Yamato sat there, thinking.
Was he just saying that he loves Sora because he misses Mimi?
Was that it after all?

okay, everyone. That's it for the chap. And oh yeah! If you noticed, I put Takeru's surname as Takaishi. I read my past chapters and got a teensy- weensy mistake. It's supposedly Sora Takaishi and Takeru Takaishi. Not Sora and Takeru Takenouchi. Okay? Sorry for the mistake. =)
