I'm still hopeful…
(Tai and Sora Digimon Fan fiction)
This fan fiction is a taiora, just in case you couldn't tell. The couplings are Sora and Tai (DUH) and maybe Matt and Mimi…
Prologue:
"Tai! Tai!"
The sound of Sora's voice came into the Kamiya apartment.
"What?" Tai yelled from his room.
"Wait…I'm coming…"
"NO! DON'T COME IN…arrr…."
Too late.
Sora gasped. She put her hand over her mouth. "Oh! I'm so sorry."
"That's why I told you not to come in…I was changing!" Tai cried.
"I am soo sorry!"
Tai said, "Okay, so what's the big news that you had to run straight in here while I'm changing?"
Sora replied, "Matt wants me to be his girlfriend! How great is that? YAAAAAYYY!"
Tai stared.
"What? Oh, so you're not happy for me? Hello? I'm your best friend!"
Tai kept staring.
"And you're jealous, aren't you? That's why you're being so mean! You're supposed to be happy for me…"
Sora turned on her heel and walked away.
"Hey, wait, Sora! It's not that, I-"
Sora wouldn't look at Tai. She kept walking, clearly very angry.
Tai followed her. "Wait! Sora!"
Sora didn't look at Tai, "I'm your best friend. And so is Matt! Why are you always so stupid? Don't you want us to be together?"
"Wait, but Sora…"
Sora stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to close the doors but Tai jumped in through the doors just before they closed. Sora kept her eyes at the doors. Tai didn't know what to say so he just looked at the back of Sora's head.
The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Sora walked out of the building.
"Sora…" Tai followed her.
Sora still wouldn't turn around. "You're so selfish Taichi Kamiya!"
"Yeah, but Sora you-"
Sora kept walking, quickening her pace. Tai didn't know what to do but follow her. "Just let me explain!" he pleaded.
She replied, "Explain about what? You're just selfish, Tai. You just don't want to be left out or anything so that's why you don't want me to be Matt's girlfriend!"
"Sora, please!"
Sora spun around abruptly. She stared at Tai, waiting. Then she softened when she saw Tai's sad face.
Tai looked down at Sora and said, "Sora…whether you're Matt's girlfriend or not, I'm always gonna love you... It's something I can't help. That's why I…"
Sora looked at Tai. Tai continued, not looking at her, "I'm still going to love you even if you hate me, Sora Takenouchi…" Tai turned red, very embarassed.
Sora looked at Tai. She understood Tai's response when she had told him the news. "I'm sorry, Tai…"
Tai turned away.
But Sora kissed him on the cheek and gave him a smile. "Now why don't you go and put some pants on?"
Tai saw that he was only wearing his shirt and boxers; he was mortified and ran off.
Author's note: Emichii:
Okay, so Tai lost Sora to Matt again. But this was only the prologue and even if it had a sad ending, I assure you that this fan fiction will finish off happily for Tai and Sora.
Please read and review!
Chapter One: Sora and Matt
Three years later:
"You're graduating from cookery school?" Tai cried.
Izzy nodded.
"Argh! Next thing you know, Mimi will be weight-lifting and Matt will be doing ballet!" Tai cried.
Matt and Mimi ran over to Tai, "I'm a weight-lifter! I'm going to the Olympics!" cried Mimi.
"I'm premiering in Swan Lake! Come and see the ballet!" Matt said.
"ARGHHHHH! STOP THE WORLD! I WANT TO GET OFF!" Tai yelled.
He sat up in bed and wiped his sweaty forehead.
Tai panted. He jumped out of bed. Thank God that was just a dream.
The 16-year-old walked around his small bedroom and surveyed the whole area.
There was his soccer ball in the corner. There was the chain with the tag and the crest of Courage on his desk. He never went through a day without it. His eyes saw a photo, framed and on the windowsill.
Tai picked it up and a glimmer of sadness shined in his brown eyes. It was a photo of his 6 very best friends in the whole world. There was Yamato Ishida (Matt), Koushiro Izumi (Izzy), Mimi Tachikawa, Joe Kido, Takeru Ishida (T.K) and…Sora Takenouchi. His eyes sparkled a little happier when he saw the little orange creature that meant so much to him.
"Agumon…" Tai said to himself.
He looked back at the picture of Sora and collapsed, crying.
Kari came into the room, clutching a mug of hot chocolate. She saw her brother crying on the floor and said knowingly, "Sora?"
Tai looked up at her tearfully and cried, "I miss her so much!"
Kari just nodded sadly. It had been three long years since Sora had told Tai about Matt. "Bro, are you okay?"
Tai roared angrily, "Of course not! Do you know how painful this situation is!"
Kari looked thoughtful. "No…gosh, I wonder if Davis was as disappointed as you are when he found out about me and T.K…"
Tai sat up straight and swiped at his eyes with his hand. "Sora and Matt have been together for too long, I've gotta take action!" he cried.
"And what?" Kari said, "tell him: 'Hi and by the way I'll be taking your girlfriend now'?"
Tai slumped back down, "but this is gonna be difficult…"
"Why do you bother? Just find another girl!"
"It will be hard…" Tai continued.
"Heaps of girls think you're cool cuz you're a jock and all…" Kari said.
"But I will win Sora off Matt!" Tai shouted at the ceiling, determined.
"Have you been listening to anything I've been saying?" Kari cried.
"No," said Tai and he left the room.
At school:
"Hey Matt, WHASSUP?"
"Nothing much really." Matt replied.
Tai leaned against the wall, asking casually, "Where's Sora?"
Matt shrugged. "I don't know," and just then Sora walked in to the classroom with Mimi.
"Hey Matt, hey Tai!" Sora gave Tai and Matt a beautiful smile that made Tai feel all gooey inside. He gave her a warm smile but Sora didn't notice. She was clinging on to Matt's arm, talking to him.
Mimi saw Tai's attempt to gain Sora's attention and immediately realized what was going on. She smiled to herself slyly. Now this is getting interesting…
The bell rang. Since Tai and Sora had the first class together, they waved 'bye to their friends and walked down the corridor.
Thump! Tai looked over at Sora. She had accidentally dropped her books and the pens in her pencil case were spilling out all over the floor. Automatically, Tai and Sora bent down to pick everything up and accidentally bumped heads.
"Oh, I'm soo sorry!" Sora said quickly.
"I'm sorry!" Tai said at the same time.
They looked at each other. Years ago, they would've thought it was funny but it just seemed weird in this circumstance. Tai started to blush furiously. He quickly looked down and continued picking up Sora's stuff.
"There you go." Tai placed the pile of books into Sora's arms. "Thanks."
"It was nothing." Tai looked away.
Sora noticed and raised her eyebrows, thinking, what's with him?
Tai put his head in his hands and moped. He kept thinking about the situation he was in and felt really hopeless. I've gotta tell someone about this. I can't stand keeping this inside me!
His hand reached towards the phone and picked it up. He dialed Izzy's number and waited.
Brring Brring…
Izzy's voice came through the phone. "Hello? Izumi residence."
"Hello."
"Are you all right, Tai?" Izzy had immediately sensed something wrong with Tai.
"I've got a problem…"
"WELL DUH, I CAN SEE THAT!"
"You can't see me,"
"Well, I can hear that."
"Izzy, I think I really really like Sora. As more than a friend."
"…"
"Izzy?"
"Why'd you call me? I don't know anything about this stuff. Call Matt."
"Are you crazy? He's my best friend. And he's dating my other best friend-Sora! Besides what am I supposed to say, huh? Hey Matt, I like your girlfriend…?"
"… Go and call Mimi. She's probably dying to put you together with someone."
"WHY WOULD I CALL HER? She's a crazy ditz!"
"Call her, Tai. It may be the best thing that's ever happened to you."
"…"
"Listen, you go and call Mimi. I have work to do. Later." Izzy hung up.
Tai put the phone back in the holder and sighed. Suddenly, almost as if it had a life of its own, his hand picked up the phone again and dialed Mimi's number. The phone hadn't even finished its first ring when Mimi picked up. She had probably been sitting right next to the phone.
"Hi! This is Mimi Tachikawa! Who's this?"
"Tai."
"Oh Tai. Okay, what about Sora?"
Tai cringed. "How did you know?"
"Actually, I knew this ages ago, ever since we were at that summer camp before we fell into the Digiworld."
"Have I really liked her that long? I mean, I kinda didn't, I don't think I liked her then."
"You have, Tai. You just didn't realize until a few years later. Let me guess, this crush has turned into love by now."
"Shuddup Mimi, I know that already. Talking about this makes me blush and blushing is something that jocks aren't supposed to do."
"Since when? Besides I can't even see you. Who cares?"
"Grrrr…"
"Oh whatever. Just get to the point."
"Mimi, I want to…um...how do I say this?"
"Hurry up!"
"…I need…help…with Sora…"
From the other side of the phone, Mimi smiled. Now I'm gonna have fun playing Matchmaker! "Tai tell me, do you just wanna find someone to replace Sora or do you wanna steal Sora from Matt?"
"I only like Sora!" came the exasperated cry from the other end.
"We'll see about that, Taichi. We'll see…"
Author note: Emichii:
Okay, we all know that in most cases, in a taiora, Sora will usually go for Tai and dump Matt or whoever she was with. But this time, Mimi's gonna force Tai to find someone else (but he'll end up with Sora anyway) and she's gonna put him together with the craziest people. The coming chapters are going to be fun to write so please wait patiently. Please write and review!
