Past and Present Part 10
Betrayal and Hurt
Morning…
Taichi held a ice pack on his jaw placing it there for a moment then took it away so he could change into casual where. Sora and he both slept in separate beds after the encounter with Ryo. He shook his head he sure was glad it was only Ryo that came and not Kyandii who knows what she would have done, who knows what Ryo will tell her when they both get home. Taichi left his room and saw that Sora was dragging her suitcase out to the door, "Where are you going?" he asked quickly.
"Where does it look like Taichi," she said rather bitterly to him.
"Come on it's not like I forced you into anything," he said slightly upset at her attitude though he couldn't blame her for being angry with him.
"You should go call Kyandii find out if Ryo told her about us yet," Sora said.
"Who cares about Kyandii we have to help each other deal with our feeling this is what it really comes down too," Taichi said to her as he walked toward her.
"STOP, don't come near me!" she threatened.
Taichi frowned, "Alright I won't," he said he looked at her luggage.
"I'm going home," she said as she saw he was looking at the luggage.
"But we aren't done here Sora, I need you here," he said.
Sora looked at him like he was kidding, "No Taichi my job here is done you can do the rest yourself," she explained she reached for the door knob but he stopped her by grabbing her arm Sora struggled to free her arm, "Let go Taichi," she said.
"No, Sora we got to face what we have done we can't run away or turn back," he said he knew she was hurt but Sora kept on trying to free herself.
Sora started to hit Taichi with her free arm, "Taichi let go now!" she cried tears started to stream down her cheeks.
"Shhh, Sora we made a mistake," Taichi said now softly in a soothing tone to relax her.
"I know I know," she said she wiped her tears away as Taichi had let go of her arm.
"A mistake that I could have avoided if I hadn't asked you to come, I'm sorry," Taichi said.
Ryo sat on the train he was almost home and he couldn't believe what Sora had done, the most unthinkable betrayal. He looked out the window as the train chugged along by the terrain and the visible waters of the Pacific Ocean.
He painfully saw the images of Taichi and Sora over and over again till he shook his head, "Why did she tell me nothing was going on when obviously there was," he thought bitterly.
He reached for his cell phone and dial Mimi's home phone number he waited while it rung after the second ring Mimi picked up, "Hello," she answered.
"You were right and I wish you would have never told me," he said still upset.
Mimi's heart sank, "What happened?" she questioned carefully.
"What do you expect they were in bed together when I arrived at the hotel," he said still looking out the window.
"Oh Ryo I'm sorry, but you can't let Taichi win I mean you still do want to salvage your marriage right?" she asked hopefully.
"I don't know what I want to do Mimi, I left her there with Taichi," he said.
"But that was the whole point why didn't you bring her back!" Mimi shouted.
"What is the point? By the looks of it they can have each other they are both cheaters," he said angrily at her.
"Ryo, you have to understand that Sora just need some reminding about your love was all about," Mimi said calmly.
"Mimi stop trying to fix something that wasn't fixed at all," Ryo said then he pressed the hung up button on his cell phone.
Jyou came into the room he saw his wife was on the phone then she put the receiver down in its cradle. "Who was that?" he asked.
"It was Ryo and I think I've made a big mistake," she whispered she looked up at him while he looked at her confused.
"What do you mean Mimi?" he asked.
"I told Ryo to go to Osaka in order to get his wife back and it backfired because Taichi and Sora slept together," she said looking away from him with a sadden expression.
Jyou sighed he walked over and sat next to her, "Mimi I know you tried to help but with this…I don't think anyone could have done anything really," he said consoling his wife the best he could.
Ryo got home he opened the door and instantly he was reminded of his wife, he bitterly took down of him and Sora and threw them onto the ground shattering the glass all over the floor.
"After all we have been through and she does something like this," he thought angrily.
The telephone rang and he picked it up, "Hello?" he said flatly.
"Oh Ryo there you are I've been trying to reach you for a while now," Kyandii said quickly, "but you haven't been answering."
"I haven't been answering because I was in Osaka," he said mater of fact.
"You were did you see go and see Sora?" she asked.
"I saw her alright, maybe you should call Taichi and check up on him," he said with anger.
"What is wrong? Did something happen when you were there?" She questioned now a little worried.
"You should tell your boyfriend that it's wrong to sleep with a married woman!" he said then slammed the phone down onto the receiver.
Kyandii was angry, "There is no way he would have willing slept with her, she must have seduced him or drugged him," she thought bitterly. She picked up the phone again and dialed Taichi's cell phone number.
In Osaka…
Taichi let Sora go and got his phone, "Hello?"
"Taichi please tell me that what happened isn't true?" Kyandii said to him.
Taichi looked at Sora and mouthed that it was Kyandii she only sighed and went into the bathroom, "What is it that you heard exactly?" he asked.
"That you slept with Sora? Is it true, I'm sure she must have drugged and seduced you," she said. Taichi was quite for a moment, "Taichi! Answer me!" Kyandii shouted.
"I don't know what to tell you honestly," he replied truthfully.
"What are you saying that you meant to sleep with her?" she asked.
"Well no, not exactly we drank a little then things lead to another," he said.
Kyandii grew angrier at his words and hung up on him.
"Kyandii?" he called but then her heard dial tone and he closed his cell. Taichi sighed he looked to the bathroom door and Sora emerged.
"Everyone is going to find out soon and this is supposed to be a business trip not a weekend out we could both lose are jobs over this," he said.
Sora nodded, "I know we shouldn't have finished that bottle of champagne," she said regretfully.
Taichi walked toward the balcony and looked out, "Never mind that, things happen but we got to do damage control," he said.
"Well I've heard a story that something like this happened and the persons involved ended up resigning over it," Sora said watching him.
He turned around to face her, "So do you suggest we resign from our positions?" he asked.
"What ever it takes to keep it from the public eye," Sora answered.
The following week…
Sora and Taichi were both at work it had been quite nothing about the business trip had leaked out which was good news for them.
Sora was in her office she sat her he computer with word pad opened up on the screen she has her letter of resignation written up.
She looked at it for a moment and tears sprang in down her cheeks, she didn't want this to be the end of this job not like this. She still wanted to work with Taichi but part her was saying that this was the right thing to do. She wiped the tears on a tissue that she pulled from the tissue box on her desk. Then she read the letter once more over and hit the print button.
Taichi's Office…
Taichi sat at his desk he was staring in front of him lost in his thoughts about that night he left his jaw it was healed expect for the bruise that reminded there, "I deserved it for doing what I did," he said aloud.
"You certainly do," Kyandii said her voice had startled him he looked up and saw her standing there.
"Kyandii, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I know you wouldn't have cheated on me like that, I know you love me," she said.
Taichi didn't know what to say to her, "Kyandii it's much more then that," he said as he went to get up she pulled a handgun out holding it directly at him.
"Whoa…is this really necessary?" Taichi asked looking at the gun in her hand.
"Yes you're coming with me, Tony!" Kyandii called a tall muscular man dressed in black entered the room.
"I don't see a point to do this Kyandii," Taichi said more strongly now he grew more concern by the minute by the expression on her face.
"Sora thinks she has won but she hasn't. Taichi don't you see that she isn't the one for you that you and I belong together?" she asked him.
"I saw that yes but you don't have to resort to this," he said still looking at the gun in her hand.
Kyandii narrowed her eyes at him, "You saw?" she questioned.
"I saw, yes but I have to admit that Sora will always have a place in my heart," he said.
"DON'T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!" she shouted angry.
"Okay I'm sorry," he begged.
"Its okay honey," she said quietly, "Just don't talk about her or mention her name again." She handed the gun to Tony who took it and held it at Taichi.
"Move it," he said Taichi didn't hesitate to listen to him either.
Sora was walking down the hall when she ran into Taichi, Kyandii and a muscular man who was walking behind him. She looked at them curiously, "Taichi where are you going?" she asked.
Taichi felt the gun jab him in the back he smiled at her, "I just have to go home and get a folder that I need or else I could be in trouble for leaving it their," he said trying to sound as causal as he could while also trying to give her a clue that he was in trouble.
"Oh, okay," she said she looked at the man then Kyandii then resumed her way down the hall as the three resumed their way to the elevators. She paused and looked back something was wrong and she could feel it and who was that person with Kyandii and Taichi. Sora thought about what he said but also about what they had talked about last week. If he was going to resign he wasn't about to get more work from home. Sora ran up to the nurses station, "Call security to the hospital and quickly with police back up," she said.
Parking Lot underneath the Hospital…
Taichi was violently pushed into a waiting car's back seat while Kyandii got in the drivers seat and Tony sat in the passenger seat. Taichi had been tied up, "This is kidnapping Kyandii!" he said angry as he struggled with the restraints around his wrists.
"You are coming with me so it's not considered kidnapping," she said she looked back at him while he said it, "We are going for a romantic week in the little cabin in the mountain as I wanted and nothing or no one is going to stop us."
"Sora will have the police down here as fast as she can," he said quickly yet still worried of what she has in mind for the both of them.
"That little tramp wants you for her self and she can't get you," she said angrily and stepped on the gas and they were out of there.
The security arrived just in time to see the car speed off then on their walkie talkie they called the police for back up, "Suspects car has left the hospital grounds," he said.
In the car Taichi was laying down in the back, "You know when the police find us you are going to jail and I will make sure you get a lot of years," he told her.
"Taichi, I thought you loved me," she said sounding hurtful as she continued to drive through the streets of Obadia.
"Love you? I never loved you not the way that I…" he stopped if he said anything more he was more likely to be shot for telling the truth with her.
"The way that you love who?" she demanded.
"It's none of your business anyways," he said bitterly.
"Tony gag him now," Kyandii shouted at him.
Taichi didn't struggle after all this Tony was the person with the gun. After he was done, he couldn't talk any more but listen to Kyandii now happy whistling to the wedding march song. He prayed that Sora got his message loud and clear and figured out that this large ape was actually helping her kidnap him.
"Taichi are you comfortable back there?" Kyandii said as she looked at him through the rearview window.
He didn't answer he simply looked out the window as best as he could in his laying down position.
"Here why don't you enjoy the fresh air," she said and pressed the button that rolled down the window.
Back at the hospital, the police swarmed the hospital for clues to what exactly happen and where the car was headed. They interviewed many hospital guest and staff in the process.
Takeru and Hikari both arrived they saw Sora and ran over to her, "What happened?" Hikari asked her.
"Kyandii was acting weird and she had this guy with her and Taichi was with him, I think he meant to give me a clue that something was wrong," she explained quickly.
"What made you think that?" Takeru asked.
"Because he emphasized trouble, they are going to do a helicopter search for the car they are in right now," Sora said.
Kyandii had turned on the radio and they were listening too soft pop when the broadcast was interrupted in the middle of the song, "Special bulletin. Obadia police want your help in capturing Kyandii Ferkal. Sources say that she has kidnapped her former boyfriend Doctor Taichi Yagami from the hospital earlier this afternoon if you see a dark blue echo sedan with license plate number 3544RK2 please call crime stoppers as soon as possible," the bulletin ended and Kyandii nearly threw a fit.
"Someone caught on to us," she looked at Taichi through the rearview mirror again, "Don't worry no one will stop us, so after we arrive to the cabin we can live happily ever after" she said to him. She soon pulled the vehicle over then looked over to Tony, "Sorry but this is your stop," she said.
Once he was out, she pulled the gag out of his mouth, then back onto the road heading to the road leading into the mountains.
"Face it Kyandii the police are going to catch you soon," Taichi said as he started to wriggle his hands free from the rope.
At that moment, they heard the sound of a helicopter hovering just above them, "Those bastards! They are going to ruin everything!" she shouted angrily.
"This is the police pull the car over and no one will be hurt," a voice said booming on a megaphone.
"Pull over Kyandii you are corner and there is no going anywhere," Taichi told her.
Taichi watched odometer reached pasted one hundred and twenty miles an hour, "SLOW DOWN!" he shouted. He began to work on loosing his restraints anxiously.
"Don't worry honey we will be there in another little bit so that way we can get married as soon as possible," she said.
'Damn it!' Taichi thought to himself angrily if he doesn't get out of here quick he might not live to a possible chance with Sora at all.
