Past and Present
Kiss in the Rain
Two month's later…
"Sora are you in your office?" Kyandii whispered and peaked inside.
Sora growled angrily at her, giving her an evil stare but she didn't stay anything.
Kyandii stepped in, "So do you want to know what me and Taichi did last night?" she asked her.
"JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU AND TAICHI DID LAST NIGHT!" Sora said angrily at her. For the past month, she had been telling her how great Taichi is and telling her stuff that would get her worked up and upset like this.
"Touchy aren't we today," Kyandii said with that she exited her office.
Sora got up and closed her office door shut then walking over to her desk and sat she closed her eyes she tried not to cry, but she couldn't help it. No one for the past month was talking to her except for Ryo. She had tried desperately to get a hold of Mimi and Yamato was always busy with his band; Jyou being a doctor didn't have time to talk to her that or it was probably Mimi's influence on him. Takeru and Hikari went away for a month on their honeymoon and Taichi was still angry at her, he would glare at her every time he saw her and it hurt. On top of all that was Kyandii bragging that when ever Taichi spent the night at her place.
She wiped away tears and got up from her seat. Grabbing her coat and purse and left work finishing early tonight.
Sora arrived at a small bar, a popular one but it was small. It was raining she held her umbrella above her just as she did Taichi had came out. They both stopped and looked at each other Taichi looked sad and upset just as she was.
"Taichi," Sora said shocked
"Sora," Taichi replied he frowned looking disappointed at himself.
"What are you doing here?" Sora asked setting her umbrella down beside to get a better look at him the rain was only coming down softly.
"I can ask you the same," he said.
"I was getting away from my thoughts," she said.
Taichi sighed, "I'm sorry Sora, I didn't mean to hurt you so much during these months. It was me being an idiot," he said apologetic.
Sora smiled slightly at him, "I should be the sorry one Taichi, it was my fault for you being angry at me," she said.
Taichi gave a half laugh, "If it is all right with you I would like to start over again," he said he felt much better now.
Sora felt a warm feeling in her but she put it aside, "That would be nice," she said smiling at him.
They hug each other and that moment they both felt happy relieved and a overpowering feeling that caused them to both pull away slowly and look at each other. Taichi slowly leaned forward where his lips met Sora's and they slowly began to kiss.
"Hi!" Hikari explained and ran to hug her mom and then her dad. Takeru hugged them as well.
"How was the honey moon?" her mother asked.
"It was great we went sight seeing and scuba diving lots of tours," she said smiling with that she began to get out the luggage from the car.
"Oh so is everyone going to be at our house?" Takeru said.
"Yeah it's a party, for you two," she said smiling.
"I still don't see the reason why you guys had to make a welcome back party." Takeru said rather confused.
"Actually, the real reason has to do with Taichi he seems to have gone into a depressed state when I asked him about it he doesn't want to talk about it," Her mother said.
"He went into a depression?" Hikari said worried. Takeru noticing her sad state and rubbed her shoulder gently to comfort her.
Ron paced at the Yagami Home. He was there with Yamato and his girlfriend Tiffany, Jyou and Mimi.
The cooking was finished and they were just waiting for the newly weds to return home. Yamato had whispered something into Tiffany's ear and then walked over to Ryo, "I'm sure she is fine," he said.
Ryo turned to him angrily, "Don't tell me that Yamato! I have seen her acting very different, and I mean extremely different from the Sora I know. She comes home at night sometimes smelling of alcohol and smoke, why does she go to the bar and drink I don't know?" he said shouting at him.
"Listen she has been going through tough times Ryo don't rag on her any more," Yamato said firmly.
"Tough times isn't that what we promised to do when we read the vows through best and through worst?" Ryo questioned him.
Yamato knew he was right, "I'm sorry you're right," he said.
"Sora is just going through a phase," Mimi interjected.
Ryo look at her with a sigh, "Not you too Mimi, you both keep saying she will be fine but how do you both know?" he asked.
There was a knock at the front door and Ryo went to get it, "Kyandii you didn't bring Taichi?" he asked looking behind her expecting to see Taichi with her.
Kyandii shrugged her shoulders apologetically "I'm sorry Ryo he said he would met me at the house," she said.
Outside in the now pouring rain Taichi and Sora were in a passionate lip lock. Until Taichi stopped and pushed her away a bit, "I'm sorry," he said.
"You shouldn't be," she said.
Taichi looked away from her eyes, "We need to talk about this," he said.
Sora nodded, "lets go into the bar and talk," she said she opened the door and they both entered each were soaked slightly from standing in the rain for several minutes.
"We are just friends right?" Taichi said looking at her uncertain.
Sora nodded, "Yes that's all we can ever be, that kiss just now…we just have to forget about it," Sora said.
Taichi nodded, "it's understandable," he agreed.
Sora looked at him and smiled, "I'd never thought we could actually talk again. Just like this," she said smiling then her smile faded.
Taichi noticed, "What is wrong?" he whispered.
"Taichi, you know these months have been hard on me. I hope you know what Kyandii was telling me, she tells me when ever she gets a chance of when you both sleep together," she said looking down at her hands.
"What? She tells you that? I'm so sorry Sora I will tell her to leave you alone," he said. "So you know I have only slept with her once," Taichi said.
"You don't have to tell me that Taichi it's not of my business," she said.
"I have to tell you though, because I feel that I need too," he said.
Sora and Taichi looked at one another for a moment then Taichi began to speak, "I wanted to ask for your help," he said.
"With what?" Sora said.
"The Chief of Staff of the hospital appointed me to go to Osaka for a medical conference. I need someone to help write my speech and I thought why not the person who does all the Public relations for the hospital you have done may other speeches for the other doctors at the hospital so what do you say?" he said.
Sora smiled, "Sure I would love to help you with the speech," she said. Sora's phone began to ring, "One second," she said to him then flipped the phone on, "Hello," she said into the phone.
"Sora, where are you?" Ryo said slightly annoyed.
"Ryo, I'm at the bar why?" she asked confused.
"We have the party that we are throwing for Hikari and Takeru remember?" he told her.
"Oh gosh I forgot! I'm sorry," she said she looked at Taichi who was confused.
"Well hurry up, if you see Taichi remind him," Ryo said to her.
"Oh he is right here, I'll come in minute we are not that far away, bye," she said and closed the phone.
"Come one, your parents are throwing a party for Takeru and Hikari tonight," she said, "I almost forgot about it."
"So did I, I'll follow you," he said and they two left the bar.
Yagami's house…
"He's with Sora…" Kyandii said trailing off in a trance. She couldn't have gotten her hooks into my boyfriend already she thought bitterly.
"They are friends Kyandii I trust them," Ryo said while Mimi looked at him regretfully.
While driving home Taichi and Sora were both thinking about each other they both tuned into one station where one song was playing
Heaven's what I feel – Gloria Estafan
Taichi felt much better after they had talked together alone with no one there to harass them. Sure the first month of not talking to her he was really angry but then it start to die away from him that it made him almost depressed and sad that he was doing this to her.
But when he kissed her he knew it was wrong because she was married but on the other hand it felt so right to do.
Taichi shook it out of his head, "Right now what it important is the party," the next thing he knew he was pulling into the driveway of his parents house behind Sora's car.
They both got out of their cars and Taichi walked up to her, "We have to talk still Sora," he said.
She merely nodded at him, "I know," she said.
They walked up to the front door and Taichi opened it they found Ryo standing there waiting for them. "Taichi, Sora you both came just in time for the guests of honors arrival," Ryo said shaking hands with Taichi.
"Did you two apologize?" he asked looking at the two of them.
Taichi nodded, "Yeah I realized how stupid it was to be fighting like that, and I wanted us to be best friends again like old times," he said looking at Sora and smiled.
"Yeah, and that's how I want it to be," Sora said to Ryo she gave him a hug and kissed him on the lips, "I missed you today," she said.
Taichi understood what she was doing and he turned to Kyandii giving her a hug and a kiss, "I'm sorry that I forgot," he whispered to her.
"It's okay Taichi, as along as you are here," Kyandii said.
