Chapter 10 : Their first date...
"I want Yamato to hate you" Tai said plainly looking at her. "What? I cannot do that. I love him." Sora said. She was shocked hearing it. "I am sure you don't want anything happening to TK. Well as I think of it, it is a shortcut way to make him hate you. When he will know that TK is gone because of you humm it's a great..." "I will do it just tell me what to do. Just don't hurt anyone." Sora cut Tai off. Tears were streaming on her face. "That's like a good girl." Tai tapped her head. Sora threw away his hand with disgust. "To your luck Sora I will ignore it this time. I want you to insult him in the whole college & tell him that you love me in a way that he will start hating you. Think how you will do it. I will let you have that pleasure." Tai said with a wicked smile. "I just want to have this one last date with him tomorrow. Please then I will do as you have said"
Sora said this literally falling onto his feet. "Please do this last favor on me." Sora said looking at him with teary eyes.
'Am I doing the right thing. I can't see her cry like this. Ahh but I have no choice. I won't be able to have her if I go soft' Tai shifted with frustration "Fine one last time. But don't even think of double crossing me" Tai said turning his back at her.
"Thank you Tai" Sora smiled sadly. "Whatever" with that Tai left shutting the door behind him.
"Sora are you alright dear you look like you have been crying" Meena Takenoushi asked worriedly looking at her daughter.
"I am fine mom something went in my eye now if you will excuse me I want to sleep for sometime" Sora ran to her bedroom "I hope she is alright she is behaving quite strange today" Meena said looking at her husband. "She will tell us when she will be ready. Don't worry dear." Andrew Takenoushi comforted his wife looking at the direction of Sora's room. 'Sora tell us what's bothering you'.
Sora couldn't sleep that night.
'I feel like living the last day of my life' Sora thought with a great pain in her heart. 'Should I tell Yama about Tai. I think I must tell him & if he saye I should go to Tai for his safety then I will go happily. It's not only my decision' Sora came to a conclusion that she would tell Yamato about Tai. It made he relieved a little bit.
Yamato came to pick her up as usual. "Yama I want to tell you something" Sora was about to start when Tai came & knocked on the car window. "Hey can you help...Oh Yamato & Sora. How are you feeling today Sora?" Tai asked in fake concern.
"She is fine. What are you doing here?" Yamato asked squinting his eyes with suspicion. "My car battery is down. Can you give me a lift to college." Tai said looking at Yamato. "Fine get in" Yamato offered him lift with a slight frown. "Thanks" Tai sat on the back seat. "Sora you were saying something" Yamato said looking at the road. "Umm nothing" Sora said looking at Tai from mirror. There ride then went silent.
Yamato, Sora & Tai then were together in the class all the time. Whenever Sora wanted to tell about Tai to Yamato she always got interrupted by Tai. "Oh I am sorry" Tai bumped onto Sora when Sora & Yamato were leaving the college.
Sora felt Tai sided a paper into her hand & left. "I don't like him" Yamato said looking at the direction Tai left. "Get the car out of car park I will wait here. Come soon" Sora said smiling at him. "Hey you haven't forgotten about our date right Sora?" Yamato asked Sora nervously. "Come soon I don't want to be late on my first date with the great Yamato Ishida"
Sora said with a sly grin. Yamato left to get the car nodding happily.
Sora quickly opened up the paper when she saw him leaving to get the car. It was an envelop. She opened it & yelped she saw TK resting peacefully in his bed. A note was attached to it , it said 'As my camera went to TK's bedroom a bullet can easily go. Look at him he is sleeping so peacefully he doesn't even know that what kind of danger he is in. What would happen to his little girlfriend if anything happens to him.' 'Tai you will go to hell someday.' Sora thought bitterly.
"Sora what you had been wanted to tell me from the morning?" Yamato asked Sora curiously. "Yamato no matter what happens remember one thing that I love you & you are life." Sora said emotionally. "Something wrong Sora" Yamato asked seeing her seriousness in every word. "Nothing Yama I just wanted to open up my mine to you." Sora had a single tear in her eye &
she looked outside the car window. Yamato stopped the car a side & pulled Sora near him. "I cannot think of a life without you Sora" Yamato pecked on her lips lightly. His words were coming from the bottom of his heart. The whole journey was silent after that.
"Hey I hope we are still going for the date Sor" Yamato asked hopefully. "Of course we are" Sora had a small smile. "I want to enjoy with you fully" Sora said kissing him on his cheek. 'It is the last time' She thought sadly. "Hey are you still there Sor"
Yamato waved a hand at her looking her lost deep down into thoughts. "Whatt Pick me up at 7 Yama." Sora was a bit shocked but soon she got over it. "I can't wait for our first date Sora" Yamato had a stupid grin on his face. "Me neither Yama" Sora laughed at him. "Now go or you will be late." Sora said slapping him slightly. "Oh no I don't want to make a bad impression to you my lady on our first date" Yamato said jokingly & sped up the car.
"Gettin cozy with your ex -bf. Don't try to act smart remember I am watching you." Tai said coming out of nowhere. "I will do as you said Tai." Sora said harshly. "That's not the way ro behave with your boyfriend Sora" Tai said twisting her hand painfully. Sora winched in pain. "I will be waiting for you tomorrow. I don't want any mistakes." Tai left leaving Sora's hand.
'Isn't that Sora. What is she doing with Tai' Mimi thought who saw them from distance. 'My mind must be playing with me' Mimi shook off her thought when she didn't see anyone in the next moment.
"I have a date with Yamato today mom." Sora said coming into her apartment. "Aww my baby has all grown up" Mrs. T said hugging Sora. "Yamato is good for you. He will keep you happy with the rest of your life" Meena said dreamily. "Mom I am not marring him or something" Sora sweat dropped. "But some day you might" Meena said daydreaming. "May be I should go to my room. Things are getting weird here" Sora ran to her room. 'You don't know mom but this is my last day with him' Sora sighed sadly.
Door bell rang. "Hi Yamato come in. Have a seat. I will call Sora up." Meena called Yamato in. "Hello Mrs T."Yamato came in nervously. "Sora Yamato is here. I am fine dear. By the way you look handsome today. I am sure you will get Sora off her feet today"
Meena smiled at him. Yamato smiled shyly. For next five minutes he just sat on the sofa moving his legs nervously. He was getting impatient.
Soon he heard a door opened &footstep coming near him. He looked up & lost himself seeing the familiar beauty coming to him. Sora was wearing a red tank top with a denim skirt that came till her knees. She was wearing a light make up which was highlighting her features perfectly. The reflection of golden light was touching her face which was giving her a heavenly look. "You look really beautiful Sor" Yamato got up & kissed her hand. "Thank you Yama. You are looking quite handsome as well" Sora answered shyly avoiding his gaze. "Lets go" Yamato took Sora's hand & motioned her to walk outside the door.
"So where do you want to go first my princess." Yamato asked Sora opening the car door for her. "Where ever you like my prince" Sora answered with a playful smile. Yamato guided Sora to his car joining his hand with her. "We will catch a nice movie first. Then find a nice hotel & have our dinner. What do you think of that?" Yamato asked looking at Sora. "Splendid" Sora said linking her hand with him. After having dinner with Yamato Sora suggested that they should have a walk in the park. Yamato agreed with her happily. Both of them came to the park with no one else around them. Both of them sat on a bench. The only thing that disturbing silence was wind. Yamato was holding Sora's hand with his protectively. Both were trying to feel each other's presence silently. "Sor it's so nice to be with you. I love..." Yamato was broken from his words as Sora pulled him into a kiss. Yamato was first amazed but soon was drown into the kiss tasting her lips. They kissed each other as if they wanted to reach each other's minds. After two minutes they broke off breathing heavily trying to catch breath. "No matter what Yama remember one thing that I love you & you mean my life to me" Sora was looking straight into his eyes. Her eyes were watered a bit & she had a hint of sadness in her voice. "I love you too Sor with all my heart" Yamato said wiping out a single tear which rolled out of her eye & pulled her into a hug. After a while they broke apart & Yamato pulled her into another kiss. 'Oh god I am getting addicted to her. I can't imagine even a single minute without her' He thought "Even I cannot live without you Yama" Sora said as if she was reading his thoughts.
Sora was on her bed shifting & tossing around as she wasn't able to sleep. She was trying to live the moments again with Yamato in her thoughts. She still remembered his face when he had left her at her door steps & kissed her slightly on her temple with affection & love. She was afraid to think how he would take it when she will execute Tai's plan tomorrow & break Yamato's heart. 'This is all my fault. Because of me first my parents & Hakura were in danger. Then he nearly killed Joe that day. Now he is threatening me that he would kill TK & Kari if I don't be with him. I can never let that happen to them they are only kids & it's not their fault. Yamato will have to deal with it. He won't be able to take it if anything happens to his brother. After all I came in his life only a few months ago. He will get over me. I would never stop loving you Yama. But I have no escape.' Sora wanted to cry loudly but kept weeping on her bed silently.
The night was over & Sora got off her bed dully to get the shower & get ready for college. Her eyes were covered with dark circles & her face was pale due to all crying. She quickly tried to remove all traces of sadness off her face & wore a fake smile when she heard her mother calling her name. "Bye mom I am leaving" Sora said getting to the door. "Isn't Yamato coming to pick you up today dear?" Meena Takenouchi asked looking at her daughter. "Um no I am suppose to meet Mimi at city mall today. Bye" Sora got out of the house quickly before Mrs. T can ask another question. When she was getting out of the building she saw Yamato coming towards her house & she hid behind a tree near the front gate. 'Was that Sora?' Yamato thought when he saw a sprang of red hair. 'I am imagining things. Get a hold on yourself Yamato' Yamato shook his head clearing his thoughts. 'She has a magical effect on me & I am loving it' Yamato smiled at his thoughts.
When Sora saw him ringing the bell at her door she quickly backed off taking care that he wouldn't see him & bumped into someone.
She felt someone grabbing her by waist & opened her mouth to yell. She was shut by the same person as he kept his hand on her mouth quickly. Sora turned around fearfully to see the person & then had a bitter smile on her face when the person was none other than Taichi. "Good that you are not disobeying me. Now lets go. You are going to come with me to the college today & even to the class in front of Yamato. I want to get rid of him from your life quickly. I can't stand him." Tai clenched his jaw slightly. Sora looked at him with all hatred. "Now that look won't help. Think what would Yamato think when he would know that his only brother was killed due to his girlfriend" Taichi said with a fake sadness. "don't do anything to TK. If anything happens to him I would kill myself & you would lose me forever." Sora said angrily. "I have already said that I would do as you say" with that she started walking to his car without looking back at him.
"Hi Mrs. T. where is Sora" Yamato asked Meena who opened the door for him. "She left a moment ago Yamato. She said she is meeting Mimi today. Didn't she tell you that?" Mrs. Takenouchi asked getting surprised. "No. I think she forgot. Well thanks I will catch her up in the college. Bye." Yamato said goodbye to her & left. 'This is weird. I will ask Sora about it. I wonder why didn't she tell me.' Yamato thought.
"Hi Mimi. Where is Sora" Yamato asked Mimi when he saw her in the class. "Isn't she suppose to be with you. She comes with you"
Mimi said with a surprise. "Isn't she suppose to meet you today? That's why she didn't come with me." Yamato asked worriedly.
"No. We never decided that." "What then why did she say that. I hope nothing has happened to her." Yamato had a hint of fear in his voice. "Don't worry she will..." Mimi was cut off by Jemmy who came towards them & said "Sora has come Yamato don't worry about her." "She has someone better with her this time, Taichi that is." He added further slyly. "You. I will kill you. don't take her name with you dirty mouth" Yamato grabbed his neck. "Yamato..Please" Koushiro came towards them & tried to break off their fight. "We will deal with him later." He said with assuring tone. "Scram Jemmy." Koushiro said dropping his voice low. "Sora.." Yamato heard Mimi's voice & looked at the door. He dropped his hands from Jemmy when he saw Sora coming with Taichi whose hand was around Sora's waist. She passed him without even looking at him with Taichi. Koushiro & Mimi both were holding Yamato tightly so he wouldn't do anything drastic. "Calm down Yamato. There must be a reason . Go & talk to her in the lunch break." Koushiro mumbled in Yamato's ear. "Agh whatever. She needs to answer me today" Yamato sat down fuming with anger but Koushiro had a firm grip on his shoulder. Mimi looked at Koushiro nervously seeing Yamato so angry. He touched her hand with his free hand assuring her that everything would be fine.
"Sora I need to talk to you" Yamato blocked Sora's path while she was going to the cafeteria with Taichi ignoring him again.
"Get out of the way idiot. You don't have rights to talk to my girlfriend." Tai said getting close to him. "Whatttt? Sora what is he saying?" Yamato asked Sora with a shock. "You heard him right. He is my boyfriend & was all along. I was with you just trying to make him jealous. So today we cleared all our differences & are together again." Sora said kissing Taichi's cheek.
"Sora you said you loved me. Does that mean you only played with my emotions" Yamato asked Sora angrily. "Yes it was all fake. Let's go Tai" Sora said harshly & grabbed Taichi's hand. Yamato now couldn't hold his temper & punched Taichi hard on stomach. Taichi also returned the punch. They were about to fight when she slapped Yamato on face & said "Don't touch him." & left with Taichi. Taichi looked back once with a smirk at Yamato who was standing there like a stone all insulted.
