"Hi Sora. What is it?" Mimi asked Sora looking at the paper.
"Oh Yamato gave me tickets to his concert." Sora said with a smile.
"He did? Can I come with you? Wow I guess he has an eye for you. You both would make a great couple." Mimi said with a huge grin.
"Hey don't draw conclusions. I don't even know him & so does he." Sora's cheeks tinted red.
"But you like the idea. That's why you are blushing" Mimi teased
"You are mad Mimi. You don't want to get me angry otherwise I won't let you come with me for concert." Sora said with a smirk
"Hey that's not very nice" Mimi pouted.
"Mimi you are coming with me to the concert" Sora had a matter of fact tone.
"Thanks Sora you are the best" Mimi hugged Sora happily. Sora just smiled at the jolly girl.
Yamato's point of view...
Am I doing it right? I can't hurt a girl because of a stupid bet. Damn Jerry. You are responsible for this. I don't like to loose specially to Jerry.
I am sorry Sora. I will think of something to make it up to you later.
Normal ...
Tai was with Kari who was waiting for TK. Soon TK came & she left with him for school. Jerry was passing Tai at the same time. 'It's time to add a bit action' Jerry thought slyly. "I hope Yamato doesn't play any tricks on Sora like that other girl Cristene he tried last time" Jerry made it look like a plain remark made between friends but it had done it's job well & added fuel to Tai's burning temper.
"Hey Matt what tricks are you planning to imply on Sora this time?" Tai asked coming to him.
"I am not doing anything." Yamato answered carelessly.
"You shouldn't either otherwise...god help you" Tai said in a murderous tone.
"Are you threatening me Tai. Is she your girlfriend or something?" Yamato mocked
"She is in my group now & anyone in me group is my friend. Oh hell why am I telling you this you obviously don't know meaning of
friendship." Tai angrily said pulling Yamato's collar. In return now Yamato also had a firm grip on Tai's shirt & they started
punching each other.
The news spread like air in all classes. "Listen guys Yamato & Tai are fighting." Koushiro said running to Mimi & Sora.
"Come on we must see if we can stop it." He added. "Let's go Sora it wouldn't be pleasant site though. If you don't want to
come I would understand" Mimi said with sympathetic look.
"I am coming." Sora said firmly. Then three of them went to the sight where Tai & Yamato were fighting. "Hey guys what
took you so long. Come on Koushiro we will stop them" Joe said pulling Koushiro with him. "Lets go in the front Sora"
Mimi said looking at Sora. Sora just nodded & made her way behind Joe & Koushiro with Mimi.
"Oh my god." Sora put her hand on her mouth seeing them fight. They were literally looked like the wanted to slash each
other's throats. Both of them were getting bloodier by minute. Joe & Koushiro were now in the middle of the fight &
were trying to stop them. Joe was holding Yamato back & Koushiro was doing same with Tai. But they didn't seem to
stop. "Get out of the way" Yamato & Tai yelled in union & pushed them backwards. Joe & Koushiro went two-three steps
behind loosing their balance. Both of them tried only to get punched. "It's hopeless. None can stop them now" Joe sighed.
"Would you believe they used to b best friends" Koushiro said looking at them.
'Look at them they are fighting like enemies only because of one misunderstanding. Even Joe & Koushiro are not able
to stop them. It's none of my business but I can't see it either. Tai is my friend & well I think Yamato is almost like one.
I must do something to stop them' Sora started moving towards Yamato & Tai.
"Sora don't go you would only get hurt" Mimi said getting idea what Sora had in mind.
Sora just went in the middle of them & held them apart with her small, delicate yet firm hands. "Stop it you guys. It doesn't
suit to friends you used to be like." Sora said with her soft, loving tone. To everybody's surprise both of them stopped.
"Sora. Get out of the way" Tai said fuming with anger. "No I wouldn't" Sora said firmly. "Tai we will deal it later" Yamato
threw his arms with frustration. "No you should never fight. You are friends & friends don't fight with each other like that"
Sora slightly raised her voice. "More like used to be friends" Tai said dropping his arms & left. "Well" Sora looked at Yamato
who was also leaving in the opposite direction. 'It will take a while' Sora sighed looking to both of them.
"Wow I cant believe you stopped them" Koushiro said in disbelief. "Yah pinch me to see if it's for real" Joe added. Mimi
pinched Joe hard on arm. "Aaww you don't have to punch so hard" Joe said rubbing his hand.
"You are brave Sora" Mimi said in a cheery tone.
"Sora stopped you that's unbelievable" Akiko couldn't hide surprise in his voice. "She has the same effect on Tai" Jeff couldn't
help to add further. "Well must keep the impression" Yamato added coolly. 'Is it really so?' He thought to himself.
"Anyways who gave Tai an idea. He said I am planning something on Sora? I believe no one can tell about the bet." Yamato asked in low voice.
"Credit goes to me" Jerry said coming to them. "What you jerk" Yamato said grabbing his shirt. "Put your hands down Ishida
I didn't tell anything about the bet just breathed out some lame words. He took the wrong idea. What can I do if he has
a short temper ? & I just cannot sit there watching you win little Sora here now, can I?" Jerry said with a smirk.
"You are surely going to pay for this Jerry." Yamato said with a threatening tone leaving his shirt.
"I will be waiting" Jerry said with a crooked smile. He left without looking at Yamato who was fuming furiously.
"Hey Sora" Tai came to Sora when college was over. "Hi Tai. Are you alright?" Sora said softly.
"Yah. I just want you to know that don't belive on any of Yamato's words." Tai said bluntly.
"Oh & why do you think so. I think he is an ok guy." Sora was now looking straight into Tai's eyes & taken a back seeing anger into Taichi's eyes.
"So he has already started putting his spells on you. I know he is up to something. He wins trust of people & then back stabs them heartlessly" Tai said grabbing her shoulders.
"Tai I know what happened between you two & I feel really sorry for you but you should give a try to your friendship" Sora tried to convince him.
"That's none of your business" Tai said harshly. "Oh. I am sorry" Sora dropped her mouth & turned to leave.
"I am sorry Sora. But I just loose myself whenever it comes to him" Tai said grabbing her hand.
"That's ok I understand." Sora mouthed. "Lets change the subject. Do you have your Tennis practice today?" Tai asked Sora.
"Yah. In fact today is my first day." Sora answered with a small smile.
"So who is dropping you to your home today" Tai asked with a smirk. "Let me think a guy named Tai" Sora smirked.
"Oh no why me?" Tai said in a fake tone throwing his hands in air. "Because now it's time to punish you for all of your crimes" Sora faked seriousness.
"So you are picking up my hummer." Tai grinned. "That's a side effect of being with Tai" Sora said with a huge smile.
"Aww Sora you like me I Knew that." Tai said keeping his hands on his heart. "Ha ha don't flatter yourself Tai." Sora slapped him blushing a bit.
"I will be waiting for you near Tennis court" Tai waved good bye to Sora & left for his practice.
(Note: Tai & Sora are only friends. They care for each other deeply but don't have that kind of a feelings.)
Sora came & changed her clothes for tennis practice. The dress fitted her perfectly showing her tempting curves. "Look
there is Sora she looks she looks" Jeff couldn't find a word "Hot" which was completed by Akiko. This grabbed Yamato's
attention. "Wow" he could only say. "Hey stop drooling over her" Yamato smacked both of then in heads.
"Yamato are you developing a crush on her or something." Jeff said with a smirk.
"I don't know about you but I am sure of it" Akiko added slyly. "I don't fall for girls they fall for me." Yamato added with pride.
"Keep on saying it. The birds might believe you" Jeff said with a huge grin. "Whatever" Yamato rolled his eyes ignoring them.
"Look isn't that Taichi?" Jeff said looking at tennis court. "What is he doing there?" Akiko said wondering.
"Hum why should we care. Lets go guys I don't want to start another fight with him." Yamato tried to hide a pang of jealousy within him.
Soon they were out of sight.
"Thanks Tai for driving me home." Sora said getting off car. "Anything for a friend" Tai smiled. Sora waved bye at him & went inside her house.
'She would make a good friend' Tai thought slightly tilting his head & left with a generous smile.
Next day Yamato again took the same root to get a chance to talk to Sora. He couldn't find her on the same spot where he
found her a day before. 'Looks like she has already left' His face sadden slightly & he heard a familiar voice. He looked at the
direction where it was coming from. "Are you alright little one" Sora was slightly sitting on her knees & talking to a small kid.
"Are you ok there kid" A taxi driver was standing in front of them. 'I wonder what has happened' Yamato took his car a side
& came out of it. He started walking to where Sora was standing. Now crowd was started to gather around them.
"Thank you young lady for pulling my son out of the way" Yamato heard a woman's words which were directed to Sora.
"No problem Madam." Sora said politely. Now the kid had started to cry. "Hey that's ok. Don't worry your mom is here now"
Sora hugged the kid lovingly & handed him to his mother. That kids mother again showed her gratitude & left with the child.
'She has got a beautiful heart which beats for others. I cannot think how much love she would give to her husband' Yamato
slightly blushed to his thoughts. 'What am I thinking. It's a bet. I must keep it in mind.' He brushed off his thoughts.
"Sora" He called Sora looking her walking to other direction. Sora looked back hearing her name. "Hello Yamato." Sora said with a faint smile.
"So you saved life of a kid here. You really care for others. You would make someone happy someday" Yamato shrugged. 'What am I saying'
"Amm" Sora just blushed not knowing what to say. "So come I will drop you" Yamato said changing the subject.
"Sorry Yama I am waiting for Mimi she is picking me up today." Sora smiled apologizing. "Oh.Thats ok Sor. see you at
the college. Wait a minute did you just called me Yama?" Yamato turned to her with a surprised look. "Umm no." Sora
shifted nervously. There was an awkward silence between them. "Sora" Mimi called her name & Sora sighed in relief & ran
without looking at Yamato. 'Now I remember I just called her Sor.' Yamato left with a slight confusion.
See ya... R& R & I will update soon orrrrrrrrrr... ;-)
