"...You know each other?" Rika asked indifferently as she watched her two new friends look at two men that were staring back at them.
Sora was first to snap out of the trance.
"Sorry about that, Rika. Yes, we do know them. That mop-headed guy over there is-"
"Taichi Yagami." Taichi self-introduced.
"Oh. My name is Rika Nonoka. Nice to um, meet you." Rika said as she walked aback and held into Sora's arm.
"My...fiancé is friends with your boyfriend." Rika whispered.
With this, Sora turned beet red.
"He's not my boyfriend!" she shouted in protest and caught everyone's attention.
"Uhm," she added as she shyly ran out of the restaurant.
Rika looked dumbfounded and looked at Izumi who shrugged.
She saw Taichi walk pass her and followed Sora out of the door.
"I believe that you must be... my friend's... fiancé?" Kouji asked, pertaining to Rika.
Rika slowly nodded. "But I'm not willing into this. I swear!!!!"
Kouji gave a tiny laugh.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Kouji." Kouji replied as he stepped away and Ryo came into view.
When Ryo and Rika's eyes met, they both pointed at each other.
"You're the guy/girl!" they both said.
"You know each other?" Izumi asked.
"She's the girl I was telling you about last Christmas!" Ryo said to Kouji.
Kouji nodded back, knowingly.
"He's the guy... I met last Christmas who nearly killed me!" Rika yelled, remembering the three nights before.
"Well, you crossed the street all of a sudden!" Ryo argued back.
"But you're three feet away when I crossed!!! Admit that you didn't look where you're going!!!!" Rika shouted back at him.
"Why, you!!!!" Ryo glared angrily as he was about to throw his fist at Rika, but was pulled back by Kouji and-
"Yamato?" Kouji called out as he saw that Yamato was nowhere to be seen.
"I saw him follow Sora and Taichi..." Izumi replied as she too, was trying to pull Rika from causing a huge scene in the restaurant.
'...What?' Kouji asked mentally.
00000000000000000
"SORA!" Taichi called.
Sora stopped on her tracks and was in front of the park fountain.
"What made you run...that fast?" Taichi asked as he tried to catch his breath.
"Nothing..." Sora replied in a low whisper.
"What do you mean nothing?! I heard you say that I was your boyfriend!" Taichi replied as he sat by the fountain edge.
Sora blushed more and covered her face with her hand.
"Look..." Sora said as she knelt in front of Taichi and held his hand in order to explain something.
Taichi looked at her and grinned. "You're proposing to me, aren't you?" Taichi asked with a raised eyebrow.
Sora blushed even deeper and suddenly stood up.
"In your dreams, Tai!" Sora shouted as she pushed Taichi off the fountain then, stomping away.
Taichi fell onto the fountain with still, a loop-sided grin across his face.
"She loves me..." he said to himself as he faced the sky, with a bigger smile...
probably, the biggest smile he ever showed and HAD in his WHOLE LIFE.
00000000000000000
"Who does that guy think he is?!" Sora asked out loud as she walked back to her humble home.
"Thinking that I, will propose to HIM?!" Sora asked as she kicked an innocent pebble that was lying in the street.
"That guy just thinks of the craziest ideas ever..." she added as she sat down the bench she just came around with.
'But you will agree if he asks you...' someone in her head said.
Sora nodded her head without stop.
When suddenly, realization hit her.
"BAKA!!!! Of course NOT!!!!" she yelled.
Almost everyone in the area looked at her and Sora couldn't help but blush and walk away.
"Why do I always go into mad fits...?"
00000000000000000
Yamato watched from afar the scene that was unfolding to him.
It was true that at first he treated Sora as a friend who just needed some help in her, ehem, problems in life.
But now?
...what was he feeling right now then?
...no,
it couldn't be love.
Because he was SO sure that his heart only belonged to Mimi...
Mimi?
Why?
Will Mimi ever come back?
"No, Mimi left me for her future..." Yamato said to himself as he slowly followed what his heart told him to.
Following the footsteps of Sora...
00000000000000000
Takeru sat up in bed as the letter in his hand fell down the floor.
"This can't be true..." he whispered hoarsely.
"What is it, T.K.? is something wrong?" Hikari asked worriedly as she saw the shock look from Takeru.
Takeru wasn't able to reply no more as thoughts raced into his head.
How will he explain this to Sora?
Will Sora be able to handle this?
What will she think of him?
"No...nothing's wrong..." Takeru replied as he went back to bed.
00000000000000000
Sora walked her way back home and noticed that someone was following her.
She quickened her pace and almost ran when she turned around the corner.
00000000000000000
Yamato saw Sora quickened her pace and decided not to follow her anymore.
He knew he was scaring her and that was not his purpose...definitely not his purpose...
But...there was something inside of him that keeps on pushing him to follow Sora in, hug her tight and...kiss her.
Kiss her?
Did he just thought about that...
"Yamato...you're going nuts..." Yamato said as he followed Sora into her home once more.
00000000000000000
"Kouji...I'm worried..." Izumi said as she paced back and forth in the restaurant.
"You're worried about what, Izumi?" Rika asked.
For now, the fight between the two had settled down...
For now that is...
"Yamato...and Sora...and Taichi...." Izumi replied.
"Why?" Ryo asked indifferently.
Kouji paused for a moment to look at Izumi.
No matter what his mind kept telling him, he wouldn't believe it.
There's NO way that Yamato had fallen for Sora.
After all, they really did nothing at all...they're not always together and Yamato never talks about Sora... so, why would he have to think that Yamato is indeed in love with her, then?
"What if Yamato likes Sora?" Izumi asked out of the blue as she watched in hope in her eyes.
"Who does Sora like better, then? This Taichi-guy or that Yamato-guy?" Rika asked as she fiddled with the teaspoon.
Good question.
Who does Sora love anyway?
00000000000000000
Taichi walked into the hospital room and saw his sister together with Sora's brother talking.
"Hello, Sis!" he greeted as he gave Hikari a small peck on the cheek which surprised her a lot.
"What are you doing here, Tai?" Hikari asked.
"Just visiting you and your boyfriend." Tai replied happily as he handed Takeru a bunch of roses.
"You know, it would be more appropriate if it was given to a female." Takeru replied.
"Then I'll give it to your sister." Tai replied abruptly as he gave a smirk of delight.
Takeru arched a brow but smiled after.
"Go ahead. It'll be more effective to give it to a girl rather than to a guy."
Taichi hung the roses behind him and waved goodbye as he exited the room.
"What was that all about?" Hikari asked.
"Let's just say that your brother has finally entered puberty." Takeru replied with a laugh.
"What...?"
00000000000000000
Sora took a deep breath as soon as she entered her house.
'That was a relief!' she said as she slowly made her way to the kitchen for a glass of water.
But just then, the doorbell rang...
Sora stopped in her tracks.
"Will I open it or not?" she asked herself as she looked around for something to defend her with.
She knew she might be exaggerating but she was pretty sure someone was really following her. So, better be safe than sorry, right?
Sora walked to the nearest closet and pulled out Takeru's old school shoe..
"It's me, Sora." The voice called.
It was serious.
Deep.
Calm.
His voice.
"Yamato?" Sora asked as she slowly opened the door.
Indeed, it was Yamato.
"Hey." Sora greeted happily and relieved.
Yamato didn't reply and gave her his usual stare but his eyes moved down to Sora's hand.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Oh this?" Sora asked as she looked totally embarrassed at what she was holding.
'Of all things to grab hold on, why this?' Sora asked herself as she put a sly grin.
"Uhm...to defend myself with?" Sora said, very embarrassed.
Yamato looked at her then, smiled.
That's one of the things he liked about her.
She looks totally silly but she's always...perfect...
Yamato and Sora ended up staring.
Yamato looked into Sora's red orbs and saw no more than him.
"Sora..." Yamato said as he walked towards Sora and held her.
"Wh...what is it, Yamato?" Sora asked, surprised that Yamato even held him this way.
"I..." Yamato started to say as his whole body leaned forward to Sora's.
Sora tensed up and just stared back at Yamato, not wanting to reply to his words.
"I..."
00000000000000000
Taichi arrived at Sora's doorstep to see that it was left open.
He went in to peek to surprise Sora but what he saw made him stop.
There, in front of him, was Yamato...
Trying to kiss Sora...
