Somewhere in downtown Tokyo, a fourteen year old girl walked out of the tattoo parlor, and showed off her new tattoo to her best friend, "So what do you think?" she asked him, pointing at her right eye.

"A butterfly?" he pointed out.

"What's wrong with a butterfly? They're cute!"

"I thought you'd get something cooler."

"Like what?"

"I don't know? A soccer ball or something like that?"

"That's stupid!"

"You're stupid."

"Nuh uh, you are stupid times abajillion!" she screamed as she skipped along the sidewalk while humming happily.

He sighed and followed his best friend with his hands in his pocket. When he caught up to her, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back so they could talk again. "So, why on your face? You know that your parents are going to see it right, kinda stupid of you. Well, you're always stupid," he grinned.

She huffed, "Well, I wanted to try something new and something you wouldn't expect from me. I mean… people always see me as the goodie-goodie girl, and I hate it!" she confessed her secret, and stared down at her shoe finding them very interesting in the moment. He lifted her chin with his finger so that she was looking directly at him, "What makes you think that?" he asked her.

"Oh please, you know that everyone says that about me. That I'm a good girl who wouldn't even think of doing something wrong in fear that I would get in trouble. The smartest girl ever who spends all of her time studying and not having fun with my friends. They even think I don't even have any friends at all!" she yelled at him with tears threatening to fall from her ruby eyes that stared at his sapphire ones. She always had kept these feelings bottled up inside of her, and she never wanted anyone to know she felt this way. She hid them for so many years that it just came out, and she was here yelling at her best friend. She was now in his arms after he wrapped his arms around her, tightening them making her feel safe and wanted, what she need now. She kept on crying on his chest until her sobs slowly quieted down, and she wiped the tears with the back of her hand, "Thanks," she whispered into his chest.

"Anytime," he kissed her forehead sweetly making her close her eyes and feel his warm soft lips, "Let's go home before we get in trouble, okay?" Nodding her head, they headed home.

Chapter 3-Again Part I

Matt paced back and forth in the hallways as Mimi, Tai, and Koushiro watched annoyed since he's been doing this since they arrived and Sora was put into her room. They were still not allowed to visit her, and they had to wait in the waiting room. Tai stared at Matt's retreating back and then stared as Matt turned around and walked toward him, "Sit down already!" he yelled getting enough, "She'll be fine. Just sit down… you're giving me a headache." Tai moaned. Listening to his best friend, he sat down right next to him and fumbled with his fingers anxiously.

The grumbling of Tai's stomach was heard and he sheepishly smiled and scratched the back of his head, "Hey, I'm hungry. I haven't had anything to eat the whole day."

"You just ate a bag of chips in my car." Matt stated.

"Well, that was a long time ago." Tai shot back.

"More like five minutes," mumbled Matt.

"Whatever, I'm hungry. I'm going to eat, so I'll be at the cafeteria trying to find something to eat." Tai stood up, and started to walk.

"I'm coming with. Like I'm starved!" Mimi agreed getting up from her seat and running her hands on her ruffled skirt. She picked up her purse and walked towards Tai. Koushiro got up right after Mimi, "I better go with them. Mimi and Tai probably will do the something stupid especially when they're together," he sighed.

Once they left, Matt walked up to the front desk. "Am I allowed to visit Miss Takenouchi now?" he asked the lady.

"Yes, but you have thirty minutes before I get someone to call you back. She's probably sleeping, she just got back from the surgery on her right knee and needs all the rest she can," the nurse said, "She's in room 320." The nurse pointed to her left and Matt followed her direction.

Matt slowly opened the door, and entered the bright white room. He shut the door behind him, and saw Sora immediately. She was lying on the small hospital bed wearing the usual cheap looking dress that every patient wears. He walked to her, and pulled a chair next to the bed and sat down. Grabbing her small hand into his bigger ones, he started to talk to her. "Hey, it's me Matt. I hope you're okay cause I was getting a little bit worried for you. I just want to say that I'm sorry for the things that I did to you… you know what I did on your first day. Yea… sorry for that." he continued to talk to her quietly hoping that she can hear him. His grip became a little bit tighter as he kept on talking.

He was interrupted when he heard a knocking on the door. Opening it, he saw Mimi, Tai, and Koushiro at the other side. "We found out you were here, and we wanted to talk to her too." Mimi whined, "Me first! You know, since the nurse said one at a time." She pushed Matt out of the room as she entered. She shut the door, and the three guys sat down each waiting for his turn except for Matt since he just talked to her.

They left after two hours in the hospital when at least five nurses had to kick them out since they argued to stay longer. Matt drove Tai home, and then drove to his house. He parked in the driveway of his huge house.

He opened the door, "Dad! TK! I'm home!" he yelled loud enough for anyone in the house to hear. Waiting for an answer back, he put away his jacket and shoes and walked upstairs. Finding out his brother and dad wasn't home; he just decided to go to sleep since he had to go to school tomorrow. Matt took off his clothes and replaced them with a long pair of shorts and a wife beater shirt. He slid into the covers, and before he went to sleep he took off his necklace and put it on his night table.

A/N: I just wanted to put the third chapter here before Monday cause I want to start fourth chapter by the end of next week. This is just part one of the whole chapter cause I didn't know what to do to replace the chapter that I put into the first chapter. Short, I know… but I'm trying my best. I'll try to make the fourth chapter long cause I know what it's going to be about already. Hmmm…. I'll start the next chapter ASAP, but not tomorrow since I'm busy. (Brother's and Friend's Birthday tomorrow- so I'll be out)

I was also thinking of starting another story so I can put a chapter from at least one story each week if I don't know what to do with the other story… did that make sense or something. So what do you think of that… tell me plz?

Thanks for the reviews!

Love always,
