Chapter 2 : My worst best day
'This is all gross. I don't know why am I dating that bimbo Jun. She is an airhead. May be I should break up with her' Yamato thought to himself. He was on his way to go to a restaurant where he and Jun had decided to meet.
'This is the same place Sora used to like.' Yamato smiled sadly when he reached near restaurant. There was no sign of Jun anywhere so he decided to wait for her. He had made a firm decision that he would break up with Jun today. She was not a good replacement for Sora. In fact he was sure no one could take Sora's place in his heart. He sighed to himself. 'I must do something to get her out of my mind. If she doesn't care about me why should I?' Yamato kicked an invisible stone on the road.
Door bell rang. "Takeru get the door" Takeru's mother Rachel called Takeru who was sitting in front of the TV.
"Hey why do I have to answer the bell always?" He huffed while going to the door.
"Wow. hello there. It's nice to see you miss…?" Takeru smiled widely seeing a beautiful young woman on his front door.
"Humm. Well I.." The woman looked a little confused. "TK?"
"Yes TK at your service pretty lady. I would be glad to help a beautiful lady like you. I am sure a fine looking woman like you must have an equally good name. So what is it? Hey wait a minute how do you know my name? Hey I know I have a charming personality but I never knew it would get me a fine catch like you." Takeru flirted and winked at her.
"Don't even think about it TK." Sora playfully ruffled his hair.
"Don't you recognize me TK? It's me Sora." She smirked.
"Sora? Is that really you Sora? God you are changed." Takeru grinned.
"I mean you were cute before but now wow." Takeru said sheepishly seeing her raised eyebrow at him.
"No need to explain yourself TK. I understand seeing me here must have been a surprise for you." Sora giggled seeing his nervousness.
"Oh god Sora I am so happy to see you. I thought you would never come back. You should know without you my dear old brother looks like he is totally lost. I want to see priceless reaction on my brother's face when he sees you." Takeru hugged her whole heartedly with a genuine smile on his lips.
"Hey it's my pleasure." Sora blushed lightly and hugged him back.
'She is still the same person I knew long back. She hasn't changed a bit.' Takeru thought looking at her shyness with a playful smile.
"It's good to be back in Odiaba." Sora's eyes slightly filled with water when she started recollecting old memories with her best friends and her man of dreams.
"Hey moms look who is here." Takeru yelled pulling Sora inside the house.
Sora came inside and was having a good look of Yamato's home. It really was like a palace, well furnished. All accessories and color combination was maintained perfectly. Most of the furniture was blue just like what man would like to have. Now it had a little woman's touch because of Yamato and Takeru's mother. 'Mr. Ishida surely knew how to live.' She was deeply immersed in her thoughts when she heard an unpleasant voice.
"Hey idiot can you be a little less loud?" John said in a frustrated tone coming out of his room.
"Oh what do we have here? Looks like a beautiful visitor." His tone changed frequently seeing Sora. He winked at her with a flirtatious smile. He looked at her from bottom to top shamelessly.
His scrutinizing lustful gaze scared Sora faintly. She avoided his gaze.
Takeru's face wrinkled with annoyance. "Get lost you freak."
"In your dreams little rat. I am not going anywhere especially when we have a subject of my interest." John said with a smirk.
"You good for nothing, two timer stop gawking at my friend like that." An angry Takeru said clinching his teeth. His staring at Sora bothered him.
"A friend humm. Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend TK?" John said with an out stretched smile.
"It's Takeru for you. What makes you think I will do that you ba.." Takeru was cut off by his mother in the middle of his speech. (WN: What makes you think I am going to use that word :p )
"Takeru watch your words. Since we all live together at least we should try to get along with each other. You shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings TK." Rachel yet hadn't noticed Sora who was standing there in embarrassment.
"But he started it." Takeru said in irritated tone.
"Try to understand Keru he has just lost his father and he had lost his mother a long time back. He must be feeling lonely. We should make him feel comfortable."
"Humm whatever." Takeru snorted.
"And who is this graceful young woman in our house?" Rachel asked curiously when she finally noticed Sora who was caught in a middle of a nasty word war between step brothers.
Now everyone's attention turned to Sora. Sora shifted nervously when came into unexpected spot light.
"Don't you recognize this shy friend of Yamato mom?" Takeru grinned stupidly.
"It's Sora." He added seeing a questioning look in his mother's eyes.
"Sora? Oh my god I am so happy to see you dear. You have turned into a very attaractine and beautiful woman dear. It had been long since you left. You should see how must lost Yamato is without you." Rachel said hugging the little lady affectionately.
"It's my pleasure Ms. Takaichi." Sora hugged the older woman back with the same affection. 'How come everyone knows about Yama and me? Only Yama is unaware of my love towards him. I wonder where he could be? I still haven't seen him in the house. Does he still have the same feelings for me? Or he hates me? I cannot blame him I was the one who left him.'
"Oh am I a bad host? Be comfortable Sora. I will make some Tea for us." Ms. Takaichi said while going inside the kitchen.
'It's always Yamato who gets attention even if he is not here. But things must be changed. I want to have it my way.' Jealousy was visible in John's eyes.
"Sora you have blossomed like a flower. May be I should ask you out sometime. What do you think about it?" John was still trying to exploit her.
"Where is Yamato?" Sora ignored John completely and asked Takeru the question.
'One day I will make you to crawl back to me Sora. I hate that good for nothing Yamato's guts.' John felt insulted but was still sitting there.
"Ah Yamato. He is busy with his girlfriend." John taunted.
"What?" John had finally got Sora's attention in his own crooked way.
"Nobody asked you." Takeru fussed.
"I can explain Sora. Unfortunately Yamato has this girlfriend because…" Takeru said sheepishly.
"Hey I don't want an explanation. Who am I to say anything? I was the one who left him in the first place. I am happy as long as Yamato is happy. That's what friends are for TK." Her eyes looked hurt but her ruby lips had a fake smile plastered on it.
"I should get going. Tell Ms. Takaichi it was nice to see her again and your family together. Just tell Yamato I dropped by." Sora quickly got up from her sitting position and started walking to the door. She had to take a lot of efforts to hide the storm just formed within her.
"What happened Sora. I made some Tea for us. Don't you want to wait till Yamato comes?" Rachel Takaichi said with a surprise coming out of the kitchen door with a tray.
"I am sorry Ms. Takaichi I forgot about the tea. The thing is my friends are waiting for me in our new house we have taken on rental for some days. I haven't unpacked my luggage yet. May be I will come tomorrow." She lied.
"Oh why are staying somewhere else dear. We have a plenty of place. I want you to come here with your friends and stay with us as long as you want." Ms. Takaichi said holding Sora's hand.
"But .."
"No buts Sora. I really want you to stay with us. Please don't say no for your old friendship's sake."
Sora couldn't say know to the warm hearted lady in front of her and agreed to come back in the evening with her friends to stay with them.
It was a torture to Sora to live with the same person she still loves and see him with some other girl in his life. 'Why did I agree on that.' Was the question raised in her mind while walking on the road to her new rental house which would soon be empty again.
Lost in her thoughts her legs automatically took her to the place which she and Yamato used to visit. She took a back seeing a lavish restaurant on the same place. 'Our favorite place is replaced with a restaurant just like I am replaced with another girl in Yamato's life' She thought bitterly.
The nice aroma of food coming out of it's door also reminded her that she was hungry and decided to visit the place.
She entered in the hotel and took a table in the corner. She ordered some water first and was looking at the menu when a high pitched voice took her attention.
"How dare you to say those things to me?" Said an attractive woman of her age.
"You are stretching it too much Jun." Said a deep melodic voice.
'Oh must be a fight between a couple.' Sora tried to see the guy who had blond hair, but couldn't do it as his back was on her side. She then decided to ignore them and turned her attention again to the menu in front of her.
The place was getting crowded so Sora decided to leave the place as she wanted to be alone for some time and the noise was annoying her.
"Oh am I? Fine you want to break up with me. Just see how measurable I make you life Yamato."
That word was more than enough to catch Sora's attention again. 'Have I heard right?Oh I must be imagining things.' Thought Sora and opened the door. Soon she was out of that place.
Sora was waiting for a taxi outside. Her hunger had already died down and all she wanted to go to her rented house where she can clear her mind. Of course her two best friends were there. She wanted to convince them about living in Yamato's house, which wouldn't have been much difficult after all who would give up luxury.
"Ohhh " Sora gasped. She was knocked by a girl with short pink hair (I don't remember color of Jun's hair so assume it is pink but I do remember they were short. :) )
"Well that was rude." Sora got up rubbing her back. She stared at the running girl with an amusement who didn't even say sorry to her.
"Wow what's this?" Her eyes fell on a small purse which was fallen on the ground. 'It must be of that girl's.' She started looking for the girl and ran to the same direction where that girl had run.
"You did a great job." Said a mysterious voice.
Sora had stopped running when she saw the same young woman bumped into her.
"M.." She was about to go to her but stopped in the middle of her track seeing a guy wearing a cap. He had worn it so that his face was barely visible.
Both of them were talking about something which was barely audible to her. She started approaching to the girl and that mysterious man. The girl had rested her back on the nearest pole.
That man was not there anymore and had left that woman in her early twenties behind.
"Miss" Sora called her name to catch her attention. But she didn't even turn to look at Sora.
'Oh my, what a lucky day. Now I have to talk this rude woman in front of me because I want to return what belongs to her. What else could go wrong?' She smirked sarcastically.
"Excuse me miss I guess you didn't hear me but I have got your purse." Sora said slightly touching to that woman's arm.
Sora tried to suppress her scream as the woman fell down on the road. She was stabbed by a knife and was already dead. She wanted to scream but her fear stopped it from coming. Her voice was lost for the moment. She backed off and ran away from the scene. She didn't even realize she was caring that woman's purse along with her.
All sweating and shivering with fear Sora entered into the house opening latch with her key she and her friends rented for some months. To her luck no one was in the leaving room. She quickly ran to her own bedroom before anybody notices her and locked the door from the inside.
Her legs went weak and it seemed like she had lost all the power she used for running from the murder site. She went limp and sat on the floor recollecting the scene.
Someone knocked on her door. She screamed loudly and raced to a corner shivering.
"Hey Sora it's only me Mimi. What's with the screaming? You were literally about to make me deaf my friend." Mimi said closing down her ears.
"What? What happened here? Do we have any intruder?" koushiro came running out of his room and asked hurriedly.
"Are you alright Mimi?" He asked with concern to his girlfrind.
"I am fine but it was Sora who screamed." Mimi answered with worry.
"Oh. It's just not like Sora. Hey Sora what happened? Are you alright?" koushiro knocked her door.
"Sorry guys I am just fine. I saw a weird bug that's all." Sora peeped out of her room slightly opening the door. She had stretched a nervous smile on her lips but she was all sweating.
"A bug? It was only for a bug? I was half dead with that scream of yours." Mimi huffed.
"Ahh Mimi you know Sora is afraid of bugs and besides even Sora has right to scream you know." Koushiro mischievously smirked. (AN: It's really funny even I couldn't imagine is Sora is afraid of bugs. Hey I know that's a lame reason but bare it please ;))
"Well yah I guess so. I just don't believe you are scared of bugs."
"Wait a minute what do you mean by that Koushiro?" It finally clicked to Mimi that Koushiro was pulling her leg after seeing him holding back his smile.
"Oh wait till I get you Koushiro" Mimi screamed and ran after Koushiro to beat him up.
"See what I mean." Koushiro winked at Sora and ran fro his dear life.
Sora giggled slightly seeing her friends in playful mood. It had taken out some stress from her mind. She decided to take wash and tell them about Ms. Takaishi's offer so they can move to Yamato's home. 'No one would ever know I was there.'
As Sora expected Koushiro and Mimi agreed upon to live in Yamato's home. After all who wouldn't want to stay in a royal palace?
Yamato looked all devastated due to the fight he had with his ex girlfriend. He entered in his house without an interest and was about to go to his room but was stopped by his brother Takeru.
"Move out of the way Takeru." Yamato said in a frustration.
"Ohh someone has got up from the wrong side of the bed it seems." Takeru said with a smirk.
"Move." Yamato pushed him out of his way.
"Well that wasn't very nice brother taking out your frustrations on your little brother." Takeru said dejectedly.
"I am sorry TK I was just in one of my bad moods. You know how I am. Don't mind me little brother." Yamato apologized to his brother.
"Humm that's ok what am I here for. Anything for you bro." Takeru said with a grin.
"Are you done with your sweet talk TK? Now tell me why you were here?" Yamato smirked, ruffling TK's hair affectionately.
"Hey watch with the hair." Takeru pushed Yamato's hand from his precious hair.
"I only wanted to tell you an interesting old friend of our family visited today." Takeru's eyes had a mysterious glitter.
"Okkkk. So?" Yamato asked getting confused.
"Well our friend is coming here to stay with us for some days or even months." Takeru smiled widely.
"So now we have started with an charity here? Why this old friend is is going to stay here? I don't like crowded place I am sure you know this fact." Yamato's was irritated with this new guest.
"We will see about that" Takeru smiled inwardly.
"Common Yamato this is a huge place and nobody can disturb you unless you would want to get disturbed." Takeru walked out of Yamato's sight without giving him chance to say anything.
'Humm that little devil getting more and more mysterious these days. Well it's only me again left in the hallway. I should just go and take some rest in my room.' Yamato decided to get some sleep and forget about his encounter with Jun. Soon he was into a deep slumber.
"Hey brother wake up." Takeru was knocking on Yamato's door.
"Go away let me sleep." Yamato yelled in sleepy tone.
"It's evening already. Wake up already oh lazy brother of mine."
"Blast off TK I am not in the mood to listen to your witty comments." Yamato was still dazed.
"Get up and freshen up a bit. Mom is calling you our guests are here."
"What now I have to get ready for the guests who are not even wanted here. Darn." Yamato scratched his head in frustration. But at least he was now ready to come outside.
"Hey mom would you get me some coffee please? I am just not feeling myself." Yamato yelled coming outside where the guests invited by his mother were sitting.
Their backs were at Yamato's face so he wasn't able to see their faces. Only their hairs were visible to him. One of them was a guy with brownish red hair. The girl sitting next to him was with long pink hair and there was this girl who had shoulder length bright outstanding reddish orange hair.
"Look who has come here." Takeru said with a smirk.
Now all three of them turned and now were looking at Yamato. The boy and the girl with pink hair held curiosity while the beautiful girl with even more beautiful red sad eyes caught his attention.
"This is Koushiro. This is Mimi and I am sure you know her. She is.."
"Sora." Yamato finished Takerus sentence.
