A/n: Well, here's chapter 4, and I promise quicker updates. I just had trouble with my computer, and I had to update other stories.
New story idea (tell me if it sounds good.): Sora and Mimi are fraternal twins. They may not share the same style, friends, and personality, but they do share their looks and boys. AU (Sorato and possibly Michi. Slight Mimato.)Inspired by Ashlee Simpson's music video "Shadow". I just watched it for the second time, and this idea of Sora and Mimi as twins popped into my heads. Genre: Romance/Drama/Humor.
I want to know if I should write this story or not, but then again I might have too much o my plate.
Thanks to all of my reviewers and their reviews! Luv ya guys!
Nickygirl: Glad you thought it was so funny! Yeah her mom did change her mind a lot, but only because she was trying to be funny. Like a 'hip' mother. shudders I absolutely love The Notebook too, and I guess I express that through Tai...
Crazyamzy: I can't believe I update so slowly, hopefully my updates will come faster. I just love that name Yamama too. I remember I saw a shirt that said 'joe mama' and thought how clever it was to use names. So, starting to write this fic, I needed to add a little funny. Then thinking about 'joe mama,' came up with Yamama. I'm surprised nobody came up with it before.
Scoripon5: Glad the flashback was cute, that was what I was going for. That's such a cute image of a little yama pouting. And of course tai was the hero, who else would it be? Well, Yama doesn't really know if that was really Sora, as in the girl from the park. But she realizes it is him. However, she won't saying anything until she's 100 convinced it's him, or at least until he says something about it.
Theladyknight: Glad Tai is "so freakin adorable." He is the comic relief, either 'flirting' around with Sora, or cracking gay jokes to Yamama. And about Tai crying...well you'll just have to see.

Ch.4 Tears & Embarrassment
Yamato's POV
"Th-th-that...was so...so...sad!" Tai wailed. He was still crying, even by the end of the movie. Scratch that. Not crying, but blubbering. "B-but...in a good way! This is the best movie ever!"
Sora and I couldn't help but laugh at his strong emotions. I noticed Sora, and saw tears rolling down her cheeks. Maybe she had been laughing at herself too. A smile was worn on her face, and I was pleased to see it. She really should smile more.
"I guess, Tai's not the only one who cried." I suggested to Sora. She laughed more, and continue with her tears.
"Yeah, I know. But that hit right me in the heart. I mean, I read the book, and that was so sad. But watching it is different. I mean, it just makes want to cry."
"There's a book? I have to read to read it!" Tai said, ecstatic.
We both laughed, but it went unnoticed to Tai. She stopped and stared at me, and I couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable. She brought herself closer to me, and my face began to heat up. Then she bursted out laughing. Confused, why yes I was.
"I guess, The Notebook didn't just affect me and Tai." She pointed to me, and I just stared.
"What are you talking about?" I defended.
"I see those dried tears Yamato. And don't think I heard you sniffle, and see you wipe a few tears." Again, I felt my face heat but more this time.
The sound of Tai's annoying cackling, rang through my ears. Great, he heard Sora.
"Haha! Yamama cried during a chick flick! I knew you were gay! It's okay, we can still be friends. Sorry Sor, but I guess your chances have slimmed down a notch. I'm sure you can turn him straight again though." He teased me. I swear I just wanted to punch him right then and there. He always teased me, and I did the same to him, but never in front of a girl... I was embarrassed, and I don't embarrass easily. I couldn't even look at Sora.
"Shut up Tai! Okay, I'll admit it. The movie was sad, and I cried a few times, I'm sorry if I have emotions. And I am not gay! So just shut up Tai. But look who's talking! You're the one who won't stop crying! Maybe you're the gay one." I was getting really worked up, but I tried my best to keep my cool.
"I am not gay Yamama, but you, my friend, are straight as a rainbow," he continued, "I'm proud of my tears, as I am of everything of mine! I'm just sensitive like that, and girls love sensitivity, don't they Sora?"
She looked up at Tai, and put a rather sultry smile on.
"You know it Tai. It takes a real man to cry. You're such a lady's man, and you know just what women want." She said with sarcasm dripping with every word. He smiled cheekily and replied, "You know it love. Don't worry, I love you the most of all my girls." The two were flirting, and I couldn't help but fell a little mad at Tai. Not jealousy, definitely not jealousy. I was just...uneasy about this fake flirting.
Fake, that's right it's all fake. They're just joking, it's not like they really mean it. Now reassured, I interrupted them.
"Maybe we should clean up our mess." I suggested, breaking up their 'flirting.'
"Yamato's right. We did make a mess, if Kari sees this she'll get mad at us. That Chinese food was good though." Sora said.
Just when Sora came, T.K. and Kari finished the movie. They decided to go for a walk in the park for some ice cream. Of course, Tai wanted to tag-a-long with them, or at least spy on them from a distance. Sora and I had to convince him that they would be fine. Sora put the movie on, hoping it would distract Tai. I think it did a pretty good job of it.
"Yeah, well I'm sure T.K. will keep her busy." Tai grumbled agitated, and still a bit disturbed at the fact that our siblings were dating.
I didn't mind the two dating, sure I got a little worried, but T.K.'s smart. I trust him. I guess if I had a sister, and she was dating a guy, I would be like Tai. Well, maybe not exactly like Tai.
Tai went off to the kitchen to wash the dishes, or lack there of. There only a few cups, and forks. We used paper plates, which was the only reason Tai offered to do the dishes. Sora and I were stuck cleaning the coffee table, which we ate on.
"I'll go get the trash can." Sora made her way into the kitchen, and I decided to start cleaning up.
I was expecting to see Sora coming out of the kitchen, but instead it was just my mop head friend.
"Since you had the 'hard' job of washing the dishes, why don't you throw the trash out." I suggested, but all he did was wrinkle his nose.
"No, how about I wipe the table clean, and then you and Sora can throw the trash outside. Nudge nudge, wink wink, hint hint..." he nudged me and winked, and had a sly twinkle in his eyes.
"Shut up Tai." I heard a voice behind me say. Although I knew it was Sora's, I was still startled.
I turned to see her with a trash bag in her hand.
"You know you want to." Tai said.
"Geez, way to treat your guests." Sora spoke again.
"Awww, c'mon love, you know sarcasm doesn't suit you well." He said jokingly, and laughed at his own joke.
"Whatever. Let's just do it so he'll shut up." I said, which caused Tai to grin from ear to ear.
"Do it? Man, I was just talking about taking the trash out, but if you guys think you're ready for that kind of thing then do it at your own homes."
I blushed intensely, and I noticed Sora looking like a cherry. Damn Tai, still he embarrasses me along with Sora.
"Shut up." I snapped at him. Even if he was just having fun, he was still irritating.
Sora and I had two trash bags of our mess, and were just on our way to throw them outside.
"I'll give you guys fifteen minutes, but nothing more than that!" he laughed, and Sora and I just ignored him.
Was this his plan to get back at me for almost running him over? Teasing me in front Sora? I took one last glance at him, and knew this wasn't it. He was going to get me back, and now I was sure had to do with embarrassing me in front of Sora. I could just see his little brain plot out a plan.
Brushing it off, we exited his home, and made our way to the trash bins. We walked side by side, as I tried my best to get rid of this awkward silence.
"I apologize on behalf of Tai. He's just an idiot." Sora said, a sweet smile on her face.
"You don't have to apologize for him, It's not like I take it seriously." I told her, and couldn't hold back my smile.
"Yes I do, because if I don't nobody will. Consider me as Tai's 'better' half."
I raised a brow, and she just chuckled.
"Why are you his better half?"
"I don't know, I guess I just am. I mean, he's like the twin brother I never had. We grew up together, and well we've been inseparable. I mean, we were born around the same time too! Actually, he's older than me by two weeks and three days."
"And does this mean he is your more worse half?"
She paused for a moment to think.
"I guess... he does get me into trouble. But without him I guess I would be some bookish goody-two-shoes."
"And without you, then he would just be more of a barbaric wild child." She let out a light laugh, but instead of laughing, my smile faltered.
All this talk about Sora and Tai being so close just made me realize just how close they were...or are. They still are close, and a feeling came over me. Jealousy? Why would I be jealous of Tai and Sora...sure they were really close and I mean I definitely wouldn't mind being that close with Sora, but...
What am I saying! I just met the girl today, and I'm acting like I'm love sick for her.
I felt her eyes on me. When I looked back at her, a look of concern overcame her facade.
"Are you okay Yamato? You were being pretty quiet."
"I'm fine, just a little tired. A nap would be good right now." I lied. I couldn't tell her what I was thinking? She'll probably laugh at me, and think I'm stupid for getting jealous. And then she'll find out my feelings for her.
Wait! Where did that come from? Jealous? Feelings? I'll admit...maybe I was just a tad jealous, but feelings? What feelings. Love at first sight. Could that be it. No. Even if I believe in it, I doubt this is what it is. She's just...different is all.
"Yamato...Yamato?" Sora's voice interrupted my thoughts, and I noticed we were at the trash bins now.
"I've been calling you for like ten times now."
"Oh...sorry, my mind was just somewhere else." She still looked concerned, but I didn't think much of it.
Expecting to feel the metal touch of the dumpster lid, instead I felt something else. It was warm and soft to the touch. I looked at my hand, I saw that it was on top of another hand. Sora's to be exact. We both glanced at each other, but quickly looked away. We removed our hands, as I could feel my cheeks heat up.
"Uh...sorry." I said lamely.
"It's okay." I lifted the lid up, and we both dumped the trash in.
This time we returned to Tai's place with an awkward silence the whole way.
I still can't believe I did that! She must think I'm an idiot, or a perv, or...I don't know. Even if the touch of her hand felt good, that was stupid of me. Watch where you put your hand next time Ishida.
I took a glance at Sora, and noticed her cheeks were stained a light pink. She blushed too...
"Yamato, we're here." she said, it being the second time I didn't noticed we were at our destination.
"Oh yeah. You know, you don't have to call me Yamato. Most people call me Matt." I told her, hopefully breaking the ice. Her eyes suddenly went wide, and she looked at me as though she's seen a ghost. She shook her head lightly, and put on a smile. A new sense seem to have come over, and she looked at me as though I were a dear friend.
"Except for Tai and his...unique nickname." she laughed, and opened the door.
"I hate that name."
Once we came inside, Tai instantly spoke.
"Wow, I wasn't expecting you guys to becoming back for almost ten minutes. Yamama, I give you a chance to be alone with Sora and you blow it." I cringed at the sound of that name, and at Tai's unwilling bantering.
Sora rolled her eyes, a playful smile put on.
"If anything, I would say you sounded a bit relieved. Jealous are we young Taichi?" She teased, patting his head. I made my way to the couch, making myself comfortable, watching them lazily. They began to fake flirting again. At least I could only hope it was fake. What am I talking about, of course it's fake. But I could care less if it was real or not...
"Whatever Tai." Sora's eyes rolled, as she finished their 'flirting.' She took a seat next to me, and for instant our hands brushed once again. I hid my blush, but I saw Sora couldn't do the same. Maybe she did like me. At that thought, I couldn't hide my smile like I did my blush.
"Hey Tai, what time is it." Sora said as if trying to get her mind off something.
"Uh...quarter to nine. Why? Do you have to go now?"
"Well, not right now, but soon."
"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked. Tai's eyes lit up, and he turned the t.v. and DVD player on.
"Well, while you guys were away...I found this on the movie." He said excited.
"What?" Sora and I asked in unison, which in a way creeped me out.
"DELETED SCENES! They ought to be good!" His voice was shaken with excitement and joy. I could tell that The Notebook is his favorite movie ever.
A/n: Well, this chapter was pretty short. Not much to it.
