Some Things Happen When You Least Expect it Chapter 2
The day of the dance...
"Sora dear your friend is here. Mimi I think is her name," Karen called out to her daughter.
"Okay Thanks mom," Sora called from her bedroom then came out and ran down the stairs, "Mimi Hi, what makes you drop by?" she asked.
"I wanted to ask you something Sora and I should have asked this yesterday but I will now," she said.
"Okay, what is it? Did something happen?" Sora said with concern thinking something bad happened.
"I wanted to ask you about Taichi," Mimi began.
"Taichi? What for?" Sora questioned confused.
"You are both close friends I was wondering if you two were ever you know were intimate or involved with each other. Or in love but secretly hiding it?" Mimi said watching her for any kind of weird reaction.
Sora was shocked at Mimi's question and shook her head, "No Taichi and I are just friends that's all. He's my best friend and I'm his best friend."
Mimi sighed relieved, "Oh thank goodness. Well thank you so much for the help bye Sora," She said giggling and left.
"Huh? She's weird sometimes," Sora said then shook the whole crazy conversation out of her head.
"So Yagami are you coming?" the voice on the other end of the receiver asked.
"Um maybe," Taichi said.
"Okay you can always come it's a free invitation," he said.
"Yeah okay Jeff, see you later man," Taichi said hanging up the phone, what a loser, he thought.
"You look happy Taichi," Hikari said sarcastically.
"Thanks Hikari," Taichi said with a hit of anger in his voice.
"Okay I know not to bother you now," she said a little irritated at him and walked to her room.
The doorbell rings but no one goes to answer the door so he does. When he opens the door he see Yamato, "Yamato? What are you doing here?" Taichi asked surprised.
"I came by because I wanted to talk to you about yesterday at the Express," Yamato said.
Taichi allowed him in and they walked over to the living room and sat on the sofa opposite of each other, "Okay so what about yesterday?" Taichi said.
"You're not mad at me are you?" Yamato watched his reaction, which Taichi looked a bit confused.
"Huh?" Taichi said.
"I was asking for advice with Sora and you threw a fit almost. Are you mad at me because I asked her to the dance?" Yamato questioned him.
"Uh, no I'm not. I was just thinking of something else that made me mad yesterday. Sorry dude," Taichi said even though that is not entirely true it wasn't good if they were still angry or rather he was for the dance tonight.
"Then were cool, right?" Yamato said getting up off the couch.
Taichi stood up as well, "Yeah," and they both shook hands.
"Where do you want to meet tonight?" Yamato asked.
"Sora's house if you don't mind," Taichi said.
"Okay so see you and Mimi tonight," Yamato said as he proceeded out the door closing it behind him.
"Yeah, great" Taichi said muttering to himself bitterly.
"Was that Yamato?" Hikari asked as she descended the stairs.
"No it was Mr. Rogers" Taichi answered walking bitterly passed her and into his bedroom.
"Hey all I wanted to know is if it was Yamato or not!" Hikari said rather loudly.
"Can you not yell Hikari honey please," her mother called from the kitchen where she was tiding up.
"Oh sorry mom," Hikari said looking up at Taichi's bedroom door with a sigh.
That Evening…
Mimi's limo pulled into Taichi's drive way. She got out of her car with a short beige leather coat she had on a pink strapless dress and a scarf around her neck, her hair was neatly done up. She walked up to the door and rung the bell.
"I'll get it!" Hikari said making a mad dash to the door, "Hi MIMI how's it going," she said making sure Taichi could her from his room.
"Hi, I'm good thanks where is Taichi?" Mimi asked.
"Still up stairs but he'll come down soon," Hikari said smiling.
Sure enough, he did come down the stairs he had finally managed to fix his hair in time, "Hi Mimi," he said.
"Taichi you look so handsome," Mimi said taking him by his arm.
Taichi smiled and blushed "Well you don't look too bad yourself," Then he looked to Hikari, "Bye Hikari," he said.
Hikari didn't say anything then ran up the stairs, that was too easy, he thought suspiciously. "Any way's shall we be going," Taichi said holding the door open for her.
In Taichi's Car…
"Do you want to go out?" Mimi asked suddenly.
"What you mean you and I?" Taichi questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, you know I really like you and I know you like me. Do you want too?" Mimi said shyly snuggling up to him.
"Yeah, I like you too," he said, and if I can move on with Mimi then maybe I can go out with her so then I can get my mind of these feeling for Sora out of my head, he thought.
"Pull the car over," Mimi said to him.
"Why, we don't have time we got to pick up Yamato and Sora," Taichi said.
"Just a second Taichi," Mimi said moving closer to him.
Taichi pulled the car over, "Okay so what is it?" he asked.
"I just wanted to give you this," she said as she kissed him on the lips then she pulled away. Taichi was surprised. "Okay I didn't want Sora or Yamato to see that," she said, "Now you can go now."
"Oh, Yamato come on in Sora's just upstairs she is still getting ready you can stay here on the couch to wait for her," Karen said.
"Okay thanks Mrs. Takenouchi," Yamato said taking a seat on the couch.
There was a knock at the door Yamato opened it "Taichi, Mimi hi," Yamato said greeting them and they walked in arm in arm.
"Hey, Yamato where is Sora?" Taichi asked looking around to see if he could see her.
"Oh she is still up stairs getting ready," he explained.
"Okay I'm ready, guys," Sora's voice said from the top of the stairs.
They all look up the stairs seeing Sora in a short navy blue spaghetti strap dress coming down the stairs she had a smile on her. It was as if time stopped for Taichi who was thinking, WOW Sora.
"Sora you look beautiful," Yamato said extending his hand to her she took it.
"Thanks," Sora said.
Mimi who had caught the look on Taichi face when she came down she wasn't too pleased.
At the Dance
Their was a fast paced song playing when the four arrived at the School for the dance, "I guess we are a little late," Mimi said as she looked around the gym.
"Yeah," Sora said as she too looked around the gym.
"Come on let's dance shall we?" Taichi said he extended his hand to Mimi.
A new song came on and it was a slow song.
Song playing Your Love by Michelle Wright
They found a spot on the dance floor. Taichi put his arms around Mimi's waist, she but her arms around his neck resting her head on his shoulder. Yamato wrapped his arms around Sora's waist she put her arms around his neck resting her head on his shoulder.
Taichi was staring at Sora with longing in his eyes while her eyes were closed gently swaying to the music with Yamato.
This is killing me. Taichi stop it come on stop it, he thought to himself he couldn't keep his eyes off her no matter how hard he tried and the song didn't help much either. He decided to close his eyes if he didn't see her then he would be able not to think about her.
Sora felt someone staring at her, she could feel someone staring at her. She felt that Taichi was but when she looked over at him while she was able to face him his eyes were closed she couldn't help but think if it was he who was staring at her.
Song Ends
Later that evening…
"I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to go," Taichi said speaking first.
"You're not the only one Taichi," Sora said.
"Yeah I'm exhausted too," Mimi said looking at the time.
"Then we could all go hang out at my house," Sora said. They all nodded to the suggestion and left the school.
Sora's house…
"Taichi can I talk to you?" Mimi asked.
"Okay sure," he replied.
"Is it okay if we leave you two alone?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah no problem Mimi," Yamato said.
The two walked over to the other living room is, "Okay what is it?" Taichi asked.
"I was wondering what is it with you and Sora?" Mimi asked looking at him intently.
The question took him by surprise, "Whoa where this coming from?" Taichi asked.
"I just want to know what Sora is to you," Mimi said again.
"She my best friend you don't have to worry okay," he said then impulsively he gave her a passionate kiss then pulled away.
"I believe you," she said then kissed him again.
"Yamato that's so sweet thank you," Sora said after opening the present he got her. It was a beaded necklace.
"Oh, I got something for you...here." she pulled out package that was wrapped, "I didn't know what to get you so I go you that"
He opened the package up and saw that it was a music book, "Thanks Sora this is great," he said then leaned in and gave her a kiss.
