Chapter 13: Now I know everything

Sora's mother was supposed to come today but she got a call from her mother that she could not come for a week because of some problem weather problem. All the planes & other transports were canceled. Now she was all alone in her room thinking about her life & of course Yamato. It had been just two day when her mother left. Her father was on a business tour. It was a night time & she was scared to be all alone.

She heard someone's foot in her backyards. Now her heart was jumping because of fear that some thief might have come near her house. She thought of calling Tai but then she decided to check it on her own. She didn't want Tai to know that she was alone at home. She thought the thief would be better that Tai.

She came down in the hall. She had taken a picture of Yamato to keep her strength alive. She held it near her heart. All the lights were off. She wasn't making any noise while walking. Slowly she went in the kitchen & looked from the window in her backyard. There was no sound & no one was outside. 'Must have been my imagination' She let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like no one is here Yama" she said softly & went back into her bedroom.

Yamato went for a drive after his dinner just to clear his thoughts. He saw Sora's house while driving. It was in the dark. He thought nobody is in there. He pulled his car near her house. 'Sora might be with that sick Tai again.' A look of hatred was plastered on his face. But then he heard some noises coming from her backyard. Then he saw a small shadow in Sora's bedroom window. 'Sora. I thought she is with him. What is she doing all alone. I wonder where her parents are. & that Taichi also doesn't seem responsible at all.' He got off his car without making any sound. In the middle of the road to her house he thought 'why do I care. I hate her.' He shifted uncertainly. 'No. I still love her deeply. I still cannot let anything happen to her. 'His other mind told him & he kept on moving towards her house. Now there was no sound at all. He then saw a petit figure sneaking out of the kitchen window. He held his breath to see that it was Sora. She looked all alone to him. Her eyes were red & groggy as if she had been crying for a long time. His heart again filled with the love for her 'Had Tai done something to her. He better not otherwise I wouldn't spare his life.' He kept on staring at his lonely angle longingly. He wanted to go to he, talk to her but the insults she had put on to him bind his legs. He was very close to the window. She had a picture in her hand. 'It must be of Taichi's' He thought bitterly. He was about to turn his back to her when her heard her words "looks like no one is here Yama." He turned back quickly thinking that she had seen him but then he saw she was talking to a picture in her hand. He looked at it carefully & was surprised to find out it was his picture. He kept on looking at her retreating back. He was too surprised to say or do anything. 'She still loves me. But then why she acts like that whenever Taichi is around? I must have been imagining things.' He pinched himself to see if it was a dream.

He was lost in his thoughts when he again heard a soft sound of someone's feet. He looked at its origin & saw a figure climbing the wall of the backyard. He ran behind the figure. The figure looked at his direction & jumped off the wall & started running. Yamato also followed the path & started running behind the figure to catch the person.

Finally the figure stopped when they were away from Sora's house. Yamato almost bumped onto the person as he stopped all of the sudden. Both of them were panting heavily.

"Who are you? What were you doing near Sora's house?" Yamato asked while trying to catch his breath.

The person was quite tall. He turned slowly to Yamato. "Hello Yamato I am Joe." He said in monotone.

"How do you know my name?" Yamato was looking at him with a surprise.

"I know about Tai also." He again said with the same voice.

"Who are you exactly?" Yamato now grabbed his shirt & asked him.

"I would be grateful if you leave my shirt." Joe said moving his hands away from him.

"I can help you to get Sora." Joe said looking into Yamato's eyes. Yamato's eyes showed a wild storm for a moment & it suddenly disappeared.

"I don't need anyone's help. Besides why would I want to get her?" Yamato asked carelessly.

"Let me see may be because you love her & Tai is in the way" Joe said adding same carelessness in his voice.

"I don't love anybody." Yamato said turning his back at Joe.

"Didn't look to me like that when you were watching her longingly" Joe said in a clipped tone.

"That's none of your business." Yamato raised his voice.

"But it is as it includes Sora." Joe said calmly.

"What are you another one of her boy toys." Yamato asked with a smirk.

To answer it Joe punched him on his face. He fell down with the blow. Joe bent down at him & gestured his hand in front of him to help him get up.

"Sorry about that but I cannot hear anything against Sora. You are the lucky one to get her love." Joe said with a hint of sadness & jealousy in his voice.

"But she loves Taichi. She slapped me for him & worst is she even kissed him in front of me. She didn't even think for a second how much it would have hurt me. She said she just used me till he was not here. She said he had been her boyfriend for long time." Yamato suddenly had an outburst of his emotions in front of Joe.

"That's where you are wrong. He wants to be with her. It's not other way round." Joe said mysteriously.

"Can you be a little clearer here?" Yamato was getting frustrated & was also eager to know if there is any way to get back with Sora.

"So now I caught you. You love her deeply." Joe teased him.

"Yes & I know that you also love her." Yamato said a little louder.

"Tragic isn't it. I am after something which I would never get." He said sadly.

"I am sorry but I think I am on the same line." Yamato tried to confront him.

"She loves only you Yamato. She hates Taichi. She left Japan just to get away from him. She even washed all traces behind her so he wouldn't find her. But as I see he succeeded. Sora is really facing her bad luck." Joe was telling Yamato about Sora's past.

"Ok if she hates him so much then why is she with him?" Yamato asked in the middle of the conversation.

"I am getting to it. Please don't stop me in between. Taichi threatened her that he would hurt the people she loves last time. He had beaten me brutally last time when he just saw me with her talking. Then he also hurt Sora & beaten her badly with his belt or something. That's why she never wears skirts. It shows off her marks Taichi had given her. He also made a threat that he would kill her best friend Hakura. The moment Hakura left Japan she was almost relieved & then she escaped from him & came here. That's in short about Sora's past." Joe stopped talking.

"I will get that Taich. Lets go & talk to Sora." Yamato was fuming with anger.

"As you say. Sooner is the better." Joe motioned towards Sora's house.

Joe & Yamato went at Sora's place & rang the bell. Soon both of them heard the footsteps. She peeped from the eye hole outside & saw Joe. Yamato was standing behind his & so was hidden.

"Joe" Sora opened the door happily. "Come inside quickly. I don't want Tai to see you. He is here again." Sora said hastily.

"I know don't worry. I have made sure that he is at home sleeping." Joe shifted from his position. Now Sora saw Yamato standing behind him. She looked at both of them uncertainly.

"Aren't you going to let us in or you are just going to stare us?" Joe said with a smile.

"Oh sorry. Come in." Sora blushed & moved out of the way. "Yama.. I mean Yamato what are you doing here?"

"Sora he knows everything." Joe said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"What? You shouldn't have told him. Now what am I going to do to save.." She cut her sentence in half & started sobbing..

"Sor no more crying. I cannot see tears in your eyes." Yamato said hugging her petit body. He wiped away her tears.

"But you don't understand Yama he would hurt you." Sora wa still sobbing.

"I can take care of myself Sor." Yamato assured her.

"No. What if he hurts TK & Kari. I won't be able to forgive.." Sora couldn't complete her sentence as Yamato pulled her into a deep kiss.

"I am still here." Joe coughed.

Sora & Yamato pulled away from each other blushing.

"Now we are here. We will handle everything. Right Joe?" Yamato said looking at Joe.

"I am helping Sora not you." Joe teased Yamato.

"& you say that I am a kid" Sora looked at Joe with a smirk.

"I agree" Yamato nodded.

"Hey love birds I know you two agree on everything with each other. Poor me. I am stuck with you. Help me please someone, Tai come & help me..." Joe threw his hands in the air dramatically.

Sora slapped his hand. Then after lightening her mood they moved on to serious talk. Sora told them everything what Tai did & all about his threats. Yamato & Joe were getting angrier by the minute.

It was almost dawn & all of them were awake & had spent their night in talking. All of them were tired & didn't realize when they slept in their sitting position.

The bell rang & Sora woke up yawning. Yamato & Joe were also awake hearing the bell.

"Sora I will fix up some Coffee & breakfast for us. Coming Joe?" Yamato offered his help to Sora & with Joe he went into the kitchen.

Sora smiled at their retreating backs. She was relieved so much after the talk they had & now was feeling safe & support because of Yamato & Joe. Lost in the thoughts Sora opened the door. She was still a little dazed due to lack of sleep.

"Sora what took you so long?" Tai said coming inside.

"Tai" Sora's voice shivered with fear.

To be continued………………………………..

Oh no what will happen now? Joe & Yamato are at Sora's & now Tai is inside the house.

Look for new chapter it will be here soon…
