Chapter 3: Chicken
Tai walked into through the front door of their apartment, he was in a way hoping that Sora wasn't home so that he wouldn't have to explain to her why he didn't apologize to ken yet. Much to his joy she wasn't, he figured that she was off shopping with her mother, much to her fathers chagrin.
So Tai decided to kill some time and watch a little TV, he found an odd little show that he thought at first was very entertaining. The show had a sock puppet and a talking dog, the more that he watch the more he wanted to keep watching, he watched as they played in the park, and was over joyed to see the talking dog play soccer with the other dogs in the park. Though he did feel bad for the sock puppet, seeing as on how that sock puppet had no legs, and the more he thought of the legless puppet the sadder he felt, thinking about how depressed he would be if he had no legs. What would be his favorite pass time if he was a sock puppet, he almost started to tear up thinking about having no legs.
The door bell rang braking his train of thought, sighing over the thoughts he was thinking, he walked over to the door and peered out of the pep hole. He saw a teen boy standing there with short brown spiky hair, this was that hyperactive kid that reminded him of him self, only Tai thought that he himself had more self control.
Tai opened the door to his young friend, and to his surprise he didn't bounce in, like he normally did, he simply walked in. "Hey," the teen said simply walking into the house without a second thought.
"Um, hello, just come in," Tai said sarcastically, making a welcome gesture after the teen entered. "So I take it that you want to talk to me about something," the bush headed young man had said.
"Ya, I did," the teen said. Before Tai could ask, "I came to talk to you about Ken."
"Ok, listen what I said was out of line," Tai said with a hint of regret. "But out of line doesn't mean that I was wrong," he defended himself.
"In most cases it was," Davis said softly. "Come on, you know how Ken feels about Matt," the teen said sternly.
"I know how he feels about him, but both you and me know that its unhealthy for him to think that way," Tai said in a matter-of-fact way.
"I know, but his looking at it like just a simple math problem, you know Ken loses brother, Matt loses family," Davis sadly stated. "Now I know that its not good, but who are you to say condemn ether of them," the teen said to his mentor.
"Look I lost TK, to-," Tai said getting angry, and was cut off.
"Shut the hell up," Davis yelled at the top of his lungs. "You selfish, oh, god, you are selfish," Davis said at a lose for words.
"He was like a brother to me and Kari to," Tai said as sternly as he could.
"He wasn't like a brother to Matt, he was, he wasn't like a dad to Matt, he was, she wasn't like a mother to Matt, she was," Davis said with stem coming out his ears. "And Sam wasn't like a brother to any of us, but he was a brother to Ken," Davis said cooling down a little. "Tai please under stand that no matter how close to TK you or Kari was, you still had each other," Davis said flatly. "He may have made a mistake, well he may have made a lot of mistakes, and Ken may be making one to," Davis continued flatly, Tai was completely silent.
"So my best friend isn't my place huh, wall that means nether is yours," Tai said lamely, then thought about what he said as the other boy gave him a small smile, Tai thought and what is that for.
Davis read the older males thoughts, "you called him your best friend."
"So," Tai huffed.
"Well if you come back to the person you once was, you know the one I looked up to, then you may do Matt, and Ken a lot of good," Davis said with a little hope in his voice. Tai on the other hand look a bit depressed at being some one that he used to look up to.
Sighing Tai said, "I may have exaggerated the whole best friend part."
"I think that you just being friends with them would help," the hope falling a bit.
"Well may-," Tai began.
"Please don't say it, you know that all he has left," Davis spat.
"Fine, so how's school going," Tai asked changing the subject.
Davis took the opportunity to change the touchy subject as well, "uh, well I have the recorded for most hours spent in detention."
"Is that a good thing?" Tai asked with a lopsided smile.
"Sure it's good, it's like press coverage, you know, 'there's no such thing as bad press,'" Davis said getting back to his hyper ways. "How's your school going?" Davis said as he began to walk into Tai's kitchen.
Sighing, "I don't wanta talk about it."
"That bad huh," Davis said dipping into Tai's refrigerator. Pulling out a piece of chicken, Davis started to nibble on the brownish-green colored chicken, "why don't you ask Izzy."
"Do you know how many classes, I dare say, he passed for me," Tai shook his head. "No, I couldn't do that," Tai repeated to himself.
"How many more classes till they take back you scholarship?" Davis asked before taking a giant bite of the soggy piece of chicken, causing it to squirt a little on the counter of Tai's bar in the kitchen.
"Well, um lets see," Tai said counting on his fingers. "Uh, one," Tai said meekly.
Causing Davis to choke slightly, "WHAT? Only one class. Dude you need to pick it up?"
"Pick it up, don't you think I know," Tai said walking over to the refrigerator, and pulling out his own piece of chicken.
"How close are you to passing?" Davis asked taking yet another bite of his chicken.
Sighing Tai said, "well ok, you see a blind person in my class has a seeing eye dog, its really cool the dogs name is Steve." Davis was nodding in conformation that he was listening, "and he has a higher grade than I do."
"That's pretty bad," Davis said with a huff.
"Yup, I know," Tai said, while taking another bite to reveal the white bone of the chicken. "So what do you think this green stuff is?" Tai said examining the piece more closely.
"I think that it's parsley," Davis said finishing up the chicken, then throwing it away, but he missed the trash can.
Laughing a little tai said, "basketball was never your sport any ways."
Smiling Davis said, "no it wasn't." Then the smile went away.
"Ya," Tai said as both his and Davis's head dropped.
"Well that's all I really wanted to talk about, so I'll just be going," Davis said with his head still down. "Oh Tai," Davis said while opening up the door.
"Ya," Tai said from behind the refrigerator door.
"You really do need to talk to Ken," Davis said half way through the door. "Tell Kari hi for me," Davis said shutting the door.
Tai walked back to the couch with his new piece of chicken. "Dang this stuff is good," Tai said to no one in particular, flipping the piece around so he could see all the sizes of it. Tai walked over to couch that he occupied before Davis interrupted him, and reclaiming his channel changer.
"What are you eating Tai?" Came the feminine voice that clicked right away, in his head as Sora.
"Duh, it's chicken," Tai said playfully waving the piece of soggy meat in front of her. "And whatever you put in this thing made it great," he said standing up giving his girl a peck on the check.
Sora gave him a small smile, then started to walk to the refrigerator to get her own piece. She walked over to the door and opened it, "hay Tai I can't find it."
With that Tai walked over to the door and put his arm around Sora's waist, with the hand holding his chicken. Then he bent down and grabbed a piece of chicken that was in front her, "see it's right her."
She looked at it with a disgusted look, "you actually are eating this?"
"Uh huh, can you believe that we had this," Tai said walking away eating the chicken, almost causing Sora to throw up.
She walked out of the kitchen throwing the piece away, and going start to the bathroom. "It's mold," she said not looking to her boyfriend.
-------------------------------------------
After the couple decided to not eat dinner, they settled for just renting a video, Tai's choice was 'Saw 2', he said it's because of the way people died. Sora on the other hand rented 'Just Married', she liked the beginning scene were their fighting.
"Which movie do we watch first?" Tai asked, with both movies in hand to the girl in the kitchen making popcorn.
"Come on Tai, you know 'Saw's' going to freak me out," she said grabbing a bowl from underneath the counter.
"Add sugar," Tai said, putting the movie into the DVD player.
"Only in half," Sora said still not liking the sugar even though Tai always had put it on.
"More than half, you know just like me that I'll eat more than you," Tai whined.
"No, I would eat my half, but you always get to it before me," Sora said with a huff.
"Ok," Tai said with a smirk. "Do you remember that chicken?" Tai's smirk grew.
"I hate you," Sora said with a frown.
"You might, but it wont make you happy," Tai smirk became a smile.
"That maybe true, but what would make me happy is if you say that you talked it out with Ken today," Sora said with hope in her voice, which quickly left when she saw Tai's smile disappear. "Did it go that bad?"
"Um, well, it re-" Sora cut Tai off.
"Please don't finish that," Sora sighed. "Well I guess that's better than it going bad," she shook her head.
"That's the spirit," Tai said giving her a kiss on the check.
"Shut up, and lets just watch the movie, ok," Sora giggled. "Oh, did you finish you home work?"
"Uh, you see about that, he um, didn't give us any, ya he didn't give us any," Tai stumbled over his words in search of the right ones.
"Whatever, you know what you have to do," Sora sighed once again.
