CHAPTER FOUR-I WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN
Sora sat in the train, which was heading in the direction of Tokyo. If you wanted to go to Tokyo, then you had to change trains at the next station.
Sora didn't even know why she was going to Tokyo but she was hoping so desperately that she could see Tai.
Please train, take me to Tai.
Get real, Sora!
Sora looked forlornly out the window. Just then the driver announced the next stop. Sora got out of the train, went over to the next platform and slumped over, as she sat down on a bench, waiting.
She thought she was finally settling down again but then one stupid tear, one stupid stubborn tear rolled down her cheek and set her off again.
"Tai…" she cried silently, "I need you… I wanna see you again…"
Just then the next train arrived and the doors opened. Sora got up and started heading for the train and then her eyes opened wide.
Tai and Mei sat on the train, talking about Sora and Haruka.
"I can't wait to see Sora again," Tai said quietly, and his eyes got a little misty. (Tai will always be true to Sora! He loves her so much!)
"Yeah," Mei answered. "So tell me about this Haruka again?"
"Um, well she's about 17 right now- about two years younger than us… she's really cute and she's short… she smiles a lot… and she really loves sport. And I think you two will really hit it off!" Tai said.
"Yay!" Mei said. "Maybe I'll finally get a girlfriend!" he was so happy Tai could swear there were tears coming from his eyes.
There was a sweat drop on Tai's face and then he decided to change the subject.
"YO! Mei, we're here, we have to change trains!" he said to his friends.
Tai and Mei got out of the train and Tai could only stare at the most beautiful red eyes in front of him.
Tai and Mei had just stepped out of the train. Suddenly Tai stopped, staring at someone in front of him.
Mei looked over to Tai questioningly, wondering why he had stopped.
"Tai?"
"Sora?"
Sora's eyes filled with tears. She flung herself at Tai and cried all over him. "Tai! You came! WAAHH! I missed you so much! Why didn't you write?"
"I-I… Sora…" Tai embraced Sora.
"Um, Tai?" Mei reminded Tai that he was there.
"Oh yeah," Tai pulled away from Sora, but Sora kept holding onto his hand. "This is my girlfriend and my best friend, Sora. Sora, this is my friend, Mei."
"Hi," they both said at the same time.
Sora couldn't believe that Tai had come. Especially when she needed him the most. She regained her composure as fast as she had lost it before, but she clung to Tai so tightly. And now she was so happy she could die.
Still, Sora was afraid.
What if? What if this was just a dream? One of those dreams that made her feel so happy but then turned out to be all in her head, and when she woke up, she'd feel sad again.
"Pinch me, Tai." she murmured.
"Why?" wondered Tai.
"I think I'm dreaming," she said.
Tai reached over and pinched her.
"OW! That hurt! What'd you do that for?" she cried.
"You told me to pinch you," Tai said, looking a bit hurt. Then he grinned. "Sora, I've been counting down the days till I see you again,"
They were all seating in the train, on their way to Odaiba.
"So why are you coming to Odaiba?" Sora asked politely.
Mei smiled. "Well, we have a weekend off, and I had nothing to do and…" he kinda looked sheepish, "well, Tai's planning to introduce me to this girl..."
Sora raised an eyebrow at Tai.
"Well, he was really depressed about not having a girlfriend…" Tai said.
Just then the train shook and groaned as it pulled into the station.
Matt, T.K and Kari were so surprised when they saw Tai.
"Tai! You're back!" T.K cried.
"Awww… my good old bro!" Kari said fondly. "Sora absolutely lost it when you were away, so I guess she went all the way to Tokyo and dragged you back here, eh?"
"No!" Tai cried. "I came here myself, cuz I missed all my friends."
Matt smiled. "You brought a friend with you," he said.
"Yeah. Mei, this is my best friend Matt. Matt, this is my friend Mei." Tai introduced Mei to his friend.
"Nice to meet you," Matt said.
Later, Sora pulled Tai away from the others and said sadly, "You said you came here for a visit, which means that you're going to have to leave me again!"
"I know, Sora."
"But what if I don't know when you're coming back?" Sora asked, "I don't even know if you'll come back at all,"
"Aww, c'mon Sora it's only for about 12 months," Tai pleaded.
Sora frowned. She drew away from Tai and put her hands on her hips. "Tai, once you've been to Tokyo and seen all that amazing stuff, how are you gonna come back to boring old Odaiba?"
"Sora, I-" Tai started.
Sora wouldn't even let him talk. "Do you know how long 12 months is! That's a whole year! A whole freakin' 365 days!" she looked at her feet and brushed away a stubborn tear.
Tai couldn't help but take a little stab at her. "So you really miss me that much? Last time I checked, you were pushing me away,"
She punched Tai playfully in the arm. "But you were the poor guy desperately in love with me that you went to Mimi for help!"
"Yeah, but now you're the one crying and losing it when I was gone," Tai grinned.
Sora smiled through her tears. Tai would always be Tai alright. "That's because I love you and we're best friends."
"And that's why I'm gonna come back!" He said.
"Why didn't you write? How come I didn't hear from you for all those weeks?" She cried.
"I waited for a letter or an email and one never came. And when it did it was just two sentences!" Sora grabbed Tai's hand and held it against her cheek. "Just because I'm your best friend and your girlfriend, can't you write to me? Can't you keep your promises? I just wanna know what's going on!"
Tai blushed. He stared at his feet and mumbled, "Yeah, I know… I'm sorry… I was… busy."
"Busy? Doing what?" Sora asked.
Tai opened his mouth and started talking. He told her everything. About the new school, about the idiot Oriha, about Mei and his problems and how weird everything was. And Sora listened.
"See? Why can't you just email me and tell me everything you just said before?" Sora asked.
Tai mumbled. "It's hard to put it in words… I'd call you but it's expensive for long-distances."
"Then can you try to write me?" Sora insisted.
Tai lightened up and gave Sora a cute smile. "I'll write you, and this time I really do promise."
"That means you also have to promise to come back," she said.
"Okay, I promise."
Tai pulled Sora into a hug. It was tight and warm but it was also kinda sad… because Sora knew that Tai couldn't always be with her, no matter how much he promised, she couldn't control fate.
That's why she treasured what might be the last she'd ever see of him.
Emichii: That was a weird chappie. I guess I'm just a bit in a rush. Hey, it's school again. Term 3 started and during the hols, I completely spent all morning, sitting in front of the computer typing away, and watching anime on the TV. And I got really lazy. Now it's school again and I have to get back into the painful homework schedule. DAMN! I've become a real slacker… Anyway, so that's why I just finished this on Friday, I had to do all that homework.
Oh and something else, saz the spaz is my pal; she's my fellow anime/manga freak. And she's new to the fanfiction network. Well actually so am I, just started this year in January! But anyway, she's written fanfic and complained that no-one was reading or reviewing. But she doesn't want me to read it because she says mine is so much better than hers! C'mon, Saz, you can do better than that! So I'm kinda advertising her fanfic for her. And I haven't read it yet, so I don't know what the fanfics called. Her pen-name is Saz the Spaz.
What else? Ah yeah! Saz was also complaining that my fanfic was too mild. "EM- CAN'T YOU PUT AT LEAST A LITTLE SWEARING IN THERE!"
Hey, it depends on what my fanfic is rated! Someone else told me I needed a make-out session in my One Piece fanfic, I mean GET REAL! For cryin out loud, I'm 13! Just 13! And I write really mild romances, got that! ARGH!
Read and review!
