Some Things Happen When You Least Expect It Chapter 13
Taichi has been
avoiding and ignoring Mimi for a few weeks now.
Sora has been giving Yamato the cold shoulder treatment which is bothering Yamato.
Yamato begins to have doubts about his relationship with Sora. In addition, starts to wonder if she's seeing someone else behind his back.
Sora and Taichi's guilt is eating away at them.
Mimi is furious with Taichi because he keeps on avoiding her and ignoring her request to go out with her.
Three Weeks Later…
"Sora are you sure you're okay. You don't seem to be yourself, "Yamato said to her.
"No, I'm fine," Sora said but really, she was feeling guilty by just talking to him.
"At least come out with me to the movies," Yamato asked.
Sora started panic a little, what do I say, she thought, "Ah...I got work. I can't go anywhere this week I got work and they are shifting me everyday," she said lying to him.
Yamato just sighed, what is up with her, something must be going on, Yamato thought.
"Okay see you later Yamato," She left without saying she loved him nor kissing him.
"Sora your hiding something from me," he said to himself as he watched her walk away.
Taichi nervously paced the living room, what to do now, I feel so bad for leading Mimi on like this I know I'll just break up with her, he thought. The doorbell rung and Taichi quickly got up to get it.
"Taichi I want to talk," Mimi said standing at the door, "I feel that you've been pushing me away lately why?"
"I just needed some space is al,." Taichi said.
"Space you have had three weeks of space. There must be some other girl isn't there, " Mimi said but by the look Taichi had on his face that she had hit the right spot, "TAICHI answer me!" she shouted.
Hikari had heard Mimi yell at him, it is Taichi's own problem that he is in the situation he is in besides he should finally be responsible for doing what he has done, she thought as she read her magazine at the kitchen table.
"I'M WAITING TAICHI!" Mimi said shouting at him impatiently as he was quite.
"Look, I know you're a nice girl and everything but I think it's best that we do not see each other any more. So can you leave now I got stuff to do," he said, maybe that was way to harsh Taichi, he thought.
Mimi looked at him mortified that he would ever be so insensitive, "YOU...INSENSITIVE PIG!" then wound up and slapped him across the face and stormed out the front door slamming it shut behind her.
Taichi felt his left cheek rubbing it to ease the stinging.
"Nice going Taichi," Hikari said coming out from the kitchen.
"Who said you could listen!" Taichi said snapping at her.
"Why didn't you say something nicer," Hikari said a little irritated at her brother. Taichi didn't say anything to her, "Taichi you have messed your love life big time," Hikari said shaking her head.
"What do you know?" Taichi said glaring at her.
"You and Sora's little affair, that wasn't one your best moves," Hikari said then when ran up stairs to her room.
"DON' T TELL ANYBODY! NOT EVEN TAKERU!" he shouted up the stairs to her.
Hikari came back, "No I won't I'll let you mess it up yourself," Hikari said then re-entering her room.
Ishida Apartment…
Yamato was practicing a couple songs on the guitar when there was a knock on the door he got up to get it and was surprised to find Mimi there.
"Y…Y…Yamato," she said nearly hysterical and sobbing and threw herself on to him.
"Mimi? What wrong?" he said bring her inside.
"Taichi...," she stopped even saying his name hurt her and she began to sob.
"Mimi shhh... its okay just relax and tell me what's wrong," he said softly and sat her on his couch and he sat next to her.
"Taichi and I broke up," she said sniffing.
Yamato was surprised, "I'm sure he didn't mean it he--" Yamato was cut off
"If he didn't mean then he wouldn't have told me to go away!" she said and cried on his shoulder some more.
Yagami's...
"Sora? What you doing here?" Hikari asked her.
"I just came over to see you guys," Sora said.
"More like to see Taichi, come on, and admit it," Hikari said.
Sora was staring at her as if she didn't know what she was talking about.
"Sora you don't have to lie about that affair," Hikari said watching her expression on her face.
"Ah...Where's your brother?" she asked quickly trying to change subject.
"Hikari!" Taichi said then ran to Sora's side, "Don't you have somewhere else to be?".
"Yeah, I'm going to see Takeru, bye," she said waving at them both with a smile and left out the door.
Sora pulled Taichi to the pool house, "Taichi? How does she know?" she said whispering to him.
"I don't know," he said.
"She won't tell will she?" Sora questioned concerned.
"No, but we got to be straight with Yamato and Mimi," Taichi said changing the subject.
Sora looked downward knowing he was right, "Your right Taichi, but...this can cause so much pain for them. If we do tell them then they'll never forgive us," She said looking up at him he sat down on one of the chairs.
"Shhh its okay," Yamato said patting Mimi's hair as she continued to sobbed.
"Yamato, you're the nicest person. Sora should be lucky to have you," she said.
Yamato looked to the side, "I doubt she is," he said quietly.
Mimi pulled away from him and looked at his saddened face, "What do you mean?" Mimi asked now concerned for her friend's well being.
"I'm not sure anymore it's like she's avoiding me or something. Ever since a few weeks ago she's been...distant," he said.
"Distant? how ?" she asked.
Yamato faced her, but didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked," Mimi said.
"No, don't be. I love her, well at least I do I'm not so sure if she feels the same, anyways I told her about a two weeks ago but she hasn't even said anything back yet," Yamato said disappointed.
"Did you try to confront her?" she asked.
"Yeah, and even then she couldn't even say it. She kept on making excuses," Yamato said.
Mimi gave him a sympathetic smile, "Don't worry she's probably not ready for it and she doesn't know what to say to you," she said.
Yamato shook his head, "No, you don't get it Sora's not that kind of person to do that if she was in love with me she would have admitted it two weeks ago. There something else going on I know there is," he said.
"Then what do you think it is?" Mimi asked.
"Another guy," he said.
"Another guy? Yamato, you don't think she's cheating on you...do you?" she said.
"I don't know but that would be my next guess," Yamato said.
"So then we say it, I mean we go together present a united front and let Yamato know about us?" Taichi said going over it.
Sora looked out the window at the pool, "Taichi I think I should go alone. I want to tell him myself. "She said.
Taichi looked at her concerned, "Are you sure because I can--," he said but Sora stopped him.
"Taichi I'm sure, it's all right. If you go there, there will be no way to tell how Yamato will react," she said then she made him look at her. "Taichi, your both going to fight and I don't want that," she said.
He sighed heavy, "Okay fine, but promise me that you will not leave or run off somewhere where I can't find you. No matter how much your upset come back here," he said.
Sora took his hand hers, "I promise," she said.
She went to leave but Taichi pulled her towards him and hugged her, "A hug for good luck" he said.
"Thanks Taichi," she said smiling then got up ready to leave to the Ishida household.
"Oh, I hope you work things out with her," Mimi said.
He had a slightly unsure expression on his face, "I hope your right," he said.
The doorbell rang, the two exchanged looks and Yamato went up to get it, "Sora? Come in," he said.
As she walked in, "We need to ta-- Mimi? What are you doing here?" she asked curious.
"It's not what you think Sora, let me explain," Yamato said.
"No that's okay your friends right," she said.
Yamato looked at her strangely then he looked back at Mimi giving her a look of 'see I told you'
"Yamato...I...Mimi can you please leave no offense," she said.
Mimi shook her head, "No that's okay I understand," Mimi went outside waited just outside the door and listened to them through the door.
"I wanted to tell you this earlier but I couldn't, so I'm going to now," she said calmly and turned her back to him.
"Okay go ahead," Yamato said.
"I'm really sorry for leading you on," she said.
"What do you mean by that?" Yamato said his voice rose slightly.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is that we can't see each other anymore," she said.
There was a silence between them, "Okay, so where is this coming from?" Yamato said breaking the silence.
"I'm sorry Yamato," she said.
"SORRY! Sora I loved you," he said shouting.
Mimi gasped listening to them she felt sorry for Yamato.
Sora had tears streaming down her face, but she still had her back to him, "LOOK WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? DO YOU WANT ME TO LOVE YOU!" she said turning around to face him. "DO YOU WANT TO FORCE ME TO LOVE YOU!" she said shouting back at him.
"NO, I DON'T. I NEVER SAID THAT...I wasn't forcing you to love me I want to know why you are breaking up with me," he said calmly.
"It's complicated Yamato I don't want to get into it right now," she said she was chickening out she knew Taichi told her to tell him about us but she didn't want too not after how Yamato was reacting.
"Complicated how?" he said demanding.
"I love someone else, okay," she said feeling her heart beating faster.
Yamato's mind raced, who on earth could it be, he thought, "Who is it?" he said.
She didn't answer him and braced herself. "WELL!" Yamato said getting annoyed by the minute.
She turned around to face him, "its Taichi," she said quietly.
