Past and Present Chapter 4
Aftermath and a Fight
Ryo walked back and through in the living room, he wife was late. "Where is she?" He thought aloud nervously. He was terrified that something happened to her, what if she was in a car accident or she could have been mugged lying in the hospital parking lot floor dieing of stab wounds or strangled.
Yes he love her very much she's a beautiful woman so smart and intelligent and strong but he was afraid for her safety he was always was worried when she never called him to tell him she was going to be late at work.
Ryo paced again looked at the wedding picture on their cabinet he stared at it. It's was only a year that they actually meet then they got married in a year, which so many of his family members thought was too fast, but he didn't think so and neither did Sora.
There was a knock at the door shaking him from his thoughts.
He went to the door, opening it. "Hi Ryo sorry I didn't mean to bother you." Hikari said.
"No your not," he said as he closed the door shaking his head
"Sora home yet?" she asked.
"She's still at work and I'm starting to worry." He said as he sat on the couch.
Hikari frowned this is definitely not good.
"Jyou, I swear she is so….I don't know I mean I talked to her and told her not to do it. I even gave her the tickets to the spa." Mimi replied confused and upset to her friend's reaction of Taichi coming home all the sudden. Yet she did not seem to faze her that she is married and should not even try to kiss Taichi it just was not going to work.
"Mimi, there's nothing else that you can do. Sora after all is a grown woman." He replied, as he looked though a couple of medical journals.
"But, you should have heard her suggestions, 'I want to have sex with him' 'I just want to kiss him once just to see if some thing is there.' She's like obsessed with the idea of raking her hands all over him." Mimi replied rattled.
Jyou put down the medical journal on the table. "She wouldn't do that she's married Mimi."
"Jyou you don't understand…she's going to ruin her life over a one night stand." She made her way to the phone and started to dial Sora's number.
Ryo picked up the phone, "Hello."
"Ryo is Sora there?" Mimi asked desperately.
"No but if you know if she told you something of where she was going?" he asked worried himself about his wife who was missing suddenly.
Mimi trying to sound as normal as possible with out making it seem like she knew exactly where Sora was at, "Oh no I haven't I'll give a call to her office and see if I can get her to answer."
"Thanks Mimi, I appreciate it," He said.
Taichi's office…
Taichi began to walk backwards toward the couch bring Sora along with him as they were kissing passionately.
They both fell onto the couch Sora on the top she got up and began to unbutton his dress shirt once it was thrown to the ground Sora slowly placed kisses on his chest and going all up his neck then back to his lips.
Sora's office…
The telephone kept ringing off the hook, in her office.
Taichi's office……
Taichi suddenly realizing where this was leading he needed to put a stop to it. It was much more then just one kiss and it could not go any further. Despite how good it felt how right it felt Sora was married.
Taichi pulled away from a confused Sora who looked down at him she moved so he could get up and picked up his dress shirt off the ground.
"Taichi?" she replied getting up to her feet.
He was putting on his dress shirt, "Sora that was way more then one kiss! We shouldn't have kissed at all." He replied
"No Taichi it wasn't," she said.
Taichi paced his office he was angry and slightly relieved he was able to stop himself from going any further, "Listen to yourself Sora, your married and we almost made love."
"Hardly, Taichi you wanted it too don't you blame it on me!" she shouted at him upset as she fixed her suit up.
"So it was all me, Did I wanted this kiss in the first place? It was all you Sora you got to understand that we can never happen." Taichi said a little too loud.
"No I think it could. Our feelings are unresolved Taichi and I know you still love me by the way you were kissing me," she replied looking at him waiting for a reaction.
Taichi turned away, "You can't tell me how I feel." He said, "That's besides the point you have your husband and I have Kyandii and what we have could be what I'm looking for."
"I don't think she is good enough for you," she said.
This enraged Taichi, "Oh please, you don't want anyone to have me! Kyandii is crazy for me Sora if you can't understand that then we shouldn't be even talking to each other."
"I haven't yet to hear that you like her as well," Sora said.
"I DO like her she is my girlfriend I wouldn't be with her if I didn't!" he shouted angrily at her, "So I want you to stop this right now." He said this time calmly and firm.
Mimi looked on the verge of tearing her hair out, "Damn it Sora."
Jyou along with Yamato watched her pace the room back and forth anxiously.
"Mimi you're just making it out to be the worse possible scenario," Yamato said.
"Yamato you don't understand she could be out there doing god knows what with him when I told her not to," she said.
"Mimi…" Jyou was about to say something but she stopped him.
"Don't Mimi me! I'm her best friend I know these things," she replied her voice raised.
"Hikari you know her well where could she have gone? It's almost seven o'clock." Ryo said looking at the clock in the kitchen which they were seated waiting for Sora to return home.
"How about I go to the hospital for you," she suggested.
"You would do that?" Ryo asked surprised.
"Of course I would," Hikari got up and started to the door Ryo followed her, "I care very much for Sora you know."
"I know that, thank you very much. Call me if anything turns up," He said.
Hikari smiled at him as she exited the house, "I will call, don't worry." She said.
"Stop what?" she asked.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about." He replied angry.
"No I don't think I do," she said standing her ground.
Taichi was taken a back, "What do you mean?" he cried.
"Maybe it's a good idea that you never ever came to Obadia," Sora said to him.
"Your just mad because you wanted me all to yourself!" Taichi replied pointing to himself but sooner he realized what he had said the wrong thing Sora stormed out of his office he was about to follow her but got the door slammed right into his face.
He opened the door quickly, "SORA!" he hollered down the hall but she had disappeared already. He ran toward the elevator doors and caught her as she entered the elevator.
"Let go Taichi!" she replied struggling to free her arm from his grasp.
"I'm sorry that wasn't nice." He replied
"I have nothing else to talk to you about Taichi let go of my arm or I'll call the police." She said threatening him.
"Okay, fine." He said he let go and the elevator door closed and Sora was gone he stormed back to his office angry as well.
Hikari just walked into the hospital and headed to the elevators but as soon as she did one of them opened up and Sora came out looking very upset by the looks of it, "Sora!" she cried running to her.
Sora looked up in surprise to see Hikari here, "Hikari what are you doing here?" she questioned trying to hide the fact she had started to cry in the elevator.
"Looking for you Ryo has been worried," she said watching her carefully she frowned, "You've been crying how come?" she asked.
"I'm not crying and Ryo doesn't have to worry about me anymore I'm coming home," she said softly.
Hikari shook her head, "Here I'll drive you home we can pick up your car tomorrow." She said.
Sora nodded in agreement she just did not want to see the hospital any more.
Taichi sat on his couch in the office and put his head in his hands, "I don't believe what could have happened here tonight and I am to blame." He said putting himself down.
In one way, it is good that she was mad at him it was better that way then having her wonder what could have been. It cannot be anything now because she was married and he did not want her to ruin her marriage.
Taichi got up from the couch and walk to the door closing the lights in his office then locking the door for the night.
"You can't lie to me remember?" Hikari replied as she drove.
Sora sniffled, "I can't talk about it." She said quietly for the first time after leaving the hospital.
Hikari frowned, "You should call Ryo," she replied pointing to her cell phone.
Sora picked up Hikari's phone and dialed home she waited until Ryo picked up, "Hi Ryo I'm on my way home. Hikari is driving me home." She said into the phone.
"That's great honey," he said then continued, "We will talk when we get home okay?"
"Okay, I love you Ryo." Sora said softly.
"I love you too." He said before hanging the phone up.
Hikari smiled hopefully that was a good sign but Sora still remain quite until Hikari had enough and deiced she need to have a chat with her.
"Hikari what are you doing?" she asked startling her out of her thoughts as Hikari drove off the road for a moment then turned the ignition off.
"You're not telling me everything that happened today, why were you late to get home?" she asked.
Sora looked away from Hikari's eyes, "Nothing happened Hikari so turn the engine on and let's go."
"Does it have to do with my brother?" she asked.
Sora turned to her quickly, "How do you know he is involved?" she asked.
"I had a hunch," Hikari said, "if he did so something to you I'll have a talk with him."
Sora shook her head, "No he didn't do anything. It's more what I did," She said then looking down at her hands.
"What did you do?" she questioned nervously.
Sora looked at her, "Nothing that concerns you." She said.
"Sora, don't tell me you –," Hikari was interrupted by Sora.
"HIKARI I want to go home NOW," she demanded.
Hikari turned the car back on, "alright no problem." She said then they were on there way back to Sora's house.
Sora and Ryo's house …….
Ryo greeted Sora at the door they hugged, "Sora, are you okay?" he asked her.
Sora hung her coat and purse up, "I'm fine…I just had a bad day that's all." She replied.
"Okay how about I prepare a hot bath for you?" Ryo asked.
Sora smiled, "I'd love that thank you." he smiled and walked up stairs. Sora went into her kitchen and got herself something to eat. She stopped at fridge… "What was I thinking!" she yelled at herself in sort of a yell whisper.
"He's right, I'm married….I tried to seduce him…I made him break his morals." She said to herself softly. "I so sorry Taichi," She cried. She slowly started to go up the stairs to her washroom where there was the hot tub waiting for her.
Yagami's House…
Taichi walked through the front door as soon as he did he was confronted by Hikari who was standing looking at him very sternly. "What?" he questioned.
"What happened tonight, I ran into Sora at the hospital she looked rather upset is there a reason behind it?" Hikari asked him.
"No, what makes you think I saw her at all?" he questioned irritated at his sister.
"Because Sora admitted it," she said.
Taichi's eyes widened worried of what Sora did tell her, "What did she admitted exactly?" he asked.
"That you were involved some how," she said watching the expression on his face but then she noticed his lips had another color on them. She grabbed a Kleenex from the table then walked over to him and wiped the coloring off she looked down at the Kleenex, "What's this?" she asked showing him.
"I don't know it must have been something I ate I don't know," Taichi replied quickly he went to walk away from Hikari.
"Taichi! That's not food what kind of food comes in pink?" she angrily.
"I DON'T KNOW!" he cried.
"Come off it Taichi, that's lipstick not food. Please tell me you two didn't make out," she said.
"Drop it Hikari," he said not amused one single bit. He walked by her and up the stairs.
Hikari shook her head in disappointment, sorry brother but I am doing this for you and Sora she thought. She reached for the telephone and dialed Mimi's number.
Mimi and Jyou's…
Mimi grabbed the receiver immediately, "Hello?" she said into the receiver.
"It's me Hikari, I think something happened but neither are opening up to what exactly happened," Hikari said.
"Really, well I'm willing to talk to Sora tomorrow to find out." Mimi said as she paced back and forth.
"That's not all Taichi had lipstick on his lips, pink lipstick. Kyandii's lipstick is red." Hikari replied, "And if you are thinking the same thing I am, yes Sora wears a pink color lipstick."
"I told her!" Mimi cried, "I told her millions of times."
"Don't worry Mimi damage has already been done, I'll talk to you later, bye." Hikari said then hanging up the phone.
As Mimi put the receiver down she turned to the guys, "Yamato go talk to Taichi tomorrow and I will give Sora a talk." Mimi said to him he looked taken a back a bit.
"Thanks mother, I will." He said getting up off the couch, "Besides I was going to give him a shout tomorrow morning anyways. Bye Jyou, Mimi" he left out the door, Mimi closed it after him.
"Jyou this is really bad…" said Mimi who sat in the vacated spot that Yamato had been seating.
"Why is that?" Jyou questioned with a confused look on his features.
"It's just is…Sora did something really bad tonight but Hikari doesn't know and I intend to find out what it is." She said confidently.
"Mimi I think Sora can hand her life," Jyou said frowning at his wife.
"Not when it comes to Taichi she can't." she said.
