PROMISE part one!
Emichii: Hi! This is Promise part 1! This taiora is in two parts! In this part, Tai leaves Odaiba for Tokyo to study, promising Sora that he'll come back. But Sora doesn't think she can handle life without her best friend/boyfriend. And if that's not enough, can Tai really come back to Odaiba after being in exciting Tokyo? Read and review! By the way, this is major taiora and slight Takari! Oh and this is the sequel to I'm Still Hopeful and Someone Just for Kari, so go read them right now!
CHAPTER ONE- BREAKING AWAY
"Are you really going, bro?" asked Kari.
"Yeah, I have to." Tai said. "I have to go to Tokyo to study. I've always wanted to go to school in Tokyo."
"Oh…" Kari said. She frowned. "Sora will really miss you. Have you told her yet?"
Tai groaned, "I really don't want to leave her but I have to. And I also have to tell her the news and I haven't yet,"
"Does she know?"
Tai shrugged, "I guess she knew it was coming some day or another but she'll be so shocked to know that I'm leaving next week."
Kari frowned again. "Well…"
"TAI! Do you have to go!"
"Yeah, I do. I'm sorry! I don't want to leave you but I have to go!"
Tai held Sora in his arms. Sora cried quietly.
"I'm sorry."
Sora looked up at Tai. "Just promise me something, will you?"
"What?"
"Promise me you'll come back, won't you?"
Tai looked into Sora's red eyes and said softly, "promise."
All of Digidestined version 1 and 2 and Tai's parents gathered at the train station.
Sora wasn't crying, but she was about to start crying any minute now. Tai looked at all of his friends and said, "Well, we've all had a lot of fun together and a lot a good times, I'll miss you guys so much!"
Matt grinned, "Yeah, I know. I'll miss you, dude."
Joe adjusted his glasses. "I wish you the best in your education and safety."
"Don't worry about Kari," said T.K. "I'll take good care of her!"
Tai narrowed his eyes, "You better not try anything you'll regret."
Kari scoffed, "That's ok, I'll take care of him! I'll put him on a leash if anything goes wrong."
Mrs. Kamiya wiped her eyes. "Oh my baby, you've grown up so much… you're moving to Tokyo without me…"
"He's not moving!" Sora cried, "He's just studying abroad!"
Tai smiled at Sora, "Yeah, I'll come back."
Sora looked bitter. "You better email me."
"Every day!"
"And write me letters every week."
"Yeah!"
"And take photos and everything!"
"Definitely."
"YOU BETTER NOT CHEAT ON ME WHILE YOU'RE AWAY!"
"NO WAY!"
Sora sniffed and a tear rolled down her cheek.
She buried her face in Tai's chest and whispered, "And come back to me when you're finished,"
Yolie and Mimi sobbed and brushed away tears as they watched the two of them.
Ken saw the train arrive, "Tai, you better go now,"
"I know…"
Tai ducked his head down and kissed Sora gently, "I promise I'll be back."
Tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't say anything; she could just stand there and cry as he turned.
Tai grabbed his travel bag and stepped into the train.
Everyone was crying.
Even Matt brushed away tears.
The doors closed and the train started moving.
Then, Sora burst into tears and ran to the edge of the platform, "TAI!"
Tai's face looked at her from the window. "Sora."
The train started moving faster and faster. Sora stretched her hand out to touch Tai one more time. Tai stuck his hand out the window and Sora's hand brushed against his.
She let out a sob and whispered, "Promise…"
"I promise."
The train left.
Sora completely broke down then.
She crouched down on the ground, on her hands and knees, crying out to the sky. The tears ran down her face without stopping, forming a puddle. If she didn't stop soon, she'd drown the train station.
She clutched her hands into fists and drove one of them at the ground. It hurt so much, and the blood dripped but none of that could equal the pain she felt in her heart.
How could she have known?
How could she have known that without Tai, she was a complete wreck? How could she have known that she'd be so lost without him? He'd only just left seconds ago but she was already in pain. How in all of heaven and hell would she be able to survive without him?
Emichii: Yeah, really dramatic for the first chappie. I wanted it to be a really really sad event. Probably because of how strong I feel about this coupling. I LOVE TAI! I DO! You won't believe how angry I was when they said that Matt and Sora got married! I mean, GET REAL! TAI AND SORA WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER! And Tai cut his hair in the actual anime thing when they were grown up! Oh I was so angry! Anyway, did you like that chappie? Was it good? I like it! It was good! Well, not really good for Sora and I have to tell you the truth, this fanfic will still end on a happy note but- it says PART 1 so this fanfic is in two parts… and I'll be nice and give you a bonus!
WARNING! WARNING! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE ENDING FOR THE ENTIRE TWO PARTS OF THIS FANFIC! SERIOUSLY! IF YOU DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, YOU'LL REALLY REALLY REGRET IT!
Okay, if you're still reading this, then I guess you don't really mind me ruining everything. Okay… so here's the plan. Tai doesn't come back! OH NO! Well not for three whole years! And then Sora has… uh oh! Moved on! And she's completely given up on Tai- well, there's still a tiny part of Tai she hopes on. But this is all in the next part, so don't worry, I'm not spoiling this part! Okay, but Tai still remains completely devoted to Sora and three years later- he returns! YEAH! TAI RETURNS!
And he has to work at it to prove to Sora he hasn't forgotten his promise and then… TA DAH! He asks her the BIG question! I've worked on this for ages so don't steal my whole plot idea! It's really unfair and it hurts my feelings! Okay, read and review! and I warned you so don't blame me if you ruined the ending!
