The clean blue sky that stood above them the entire day gave its last good bye as the stars started to show up in a beautiful winter's sunset. It was not late, but the cold forced many of the usual walkers to rush into coffee shops and other places to warm themselves. The emptiness that filled the streets and parks provided the perfect timing for the digidestined to go home with their partners without beign noticed.
A small group walked outside the Odaiba Gym building, heading quietly towards a big park next to it. It would be easier for them to cross the park without beign noticed carrying their digimon partners. The group formed by the older members Taichi and Koushiro, and the youngers Daisuke, Takeru, Hikari and Iori, had just arrived from their working trip to the digital world. Taichi and Koushiro were wearing their tradicional Odaiba High winter uniform, carrying their backpacks, the leader of them now with a noticeable swollen left shoulder, and the short smart boy just carrying his now usual tired expression. The other members of the older digidestined could not join the team that day. Although it was almost the end of the semester, Mimi had recently arrived from America and Sora spent the entire afternoon helping her friend to know the Odaiba High world. Joe is in one of his worst exam weeks, what made it impossible for him to help his friends in the digital world, even though he did quite an appearance on the past weeks. Yamato is about to enter a very busy season with his band with his first show starting 12 days from now, so he needed to start rehearsing if he wanted to have a great performance.
For the younger ones, they were dressed with their casual winter clothes. Daisuke is now the most unoccupied member of the group, considering the soccer season only starts in spring and he couldn't stand studying too much for his final exams. He was always traveling with his friends to the digital world, helping them not just taking down the black towers and taking off evil spirals, but also rebuilding the destroyed areas along the many battles that occurred last year. He hadn't matured much over time but he was somehow less impulsive than he used to be, listening more carefully to Koushiro's instructions. Today he and Veemon, helped by the others, broke down six towers at the central Server Continent, really close from Koromon's village. Hikari and Takeru also helped a lot in the digital world lately, even though unlike Daisuke, they were studying for their coming up finals. Iori, the younger member of the group, tried his best to be present on their trips, but since the events from last year, sometimes he coudn't convice his worried mother to let him help his friends. Ken would not help in the digital world this week, due to the fact that he's responsable for helping the kids that were kidnapped on the Christmas Event. For him, sometimes facing groups of traumatized digimons resulted in difficult moments for the entire group to handle. Miyako is also having a very busy time preparing herself to get into Odaiba High, studying for many exams and just helping their friends when Koushiro needed a little support with computer stuff. Tomorrow, some of them would travel again to rebuild a small village and again try to restore peace in the digital world.
As the group started to split into smaller ones, formed by the members that lived close to eachother, Taichi and Hikari left Koushiro and Daisuke to enter their tall building. Hikari gave his brother a look, analyzing his tense expression.
"Is your shoulder okay?" She asked softly, the way she always used to direct herself to her big brother. Taichi smiled back to her, trying to tranquilize his sister's worries.
"It's fine. It's not aching anymore. How are you now?" He couldn't help but ask her. Although he trusted her to be a very responsible person, he was always trying to take good care of his younger sister. By his sister's soft look, he could tell she was okay.
"I'm not the one hurt here, you know? But..." He immediately looked at her, surprised that she is about to add something to her answer, wondering what will she tell him.
"But what? Did anything happen? Is it one of those bad feelings you have?" He started to get impatient. Lately, small things could make the leader of the group more tense than usual and waiting on something was one of the common things that made him lose it.
"Hey, calm down!" His sister added, as they walked inside the elevator. "There's no bad feeling and I'm really okay... It's you that's not." She faced the floor, trying to avoid his brothers eyes as he heard her observation. He was actually surprised by his sister's consideration, due the fact that he was doing his best to hide it even to himself that he was not on his great terms. Hikari looked up to face her brother, knowing that he would probably not answer. His bad temper sometimes forced him to hide his emotions so badly so he wouldn't show it, so bringing that up would probably irritate him. Surprised, she found out a lightly smiling Taichi, that placed his right hand on her left shoulder guiding her out of the elevator towards their apartment.
"I'm sorry, Onii-san. I shouldn't have brought that up." Hikari said carefully, observing her brother's actions as they entered the living room. No one was home, which meant Taichi was the cooker of the night.
"So, what would you like for dinner, M'am?" He played with her, still not giving her an answer to her observation. As she just stared at him, waiting for at least a moody reaction to her words, he opened the fridge's door. "Well, we can have salad and pasta. Are you okay with that?" He asked his sister, still trying to replace his tense expression with a soft one. As she nodded, he turned his back to her and started preparing their dinner. Hikari just stood behind him, now with a worried look on her eyes. He knew exactly how she was staring at him, even if he didn't have to turn around to face her.
"Hikari, it's fine. I'm just a little tense lately with all those stuff going on." Although it sounded simple, for him it was too hard to open himself to say just those few things. But lying to his sister would be useless, considering she already knew something was wrong with him. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, giving him courage to turn around and face her. For his surprise, she was now standing right behind him, smiling. As he forced a kind smile, she hugged him.
"I'm not asking anything else, okay? But... Sometimes talking just makes you stronger." She said softly, taking a step back as her brother faced her in surprised. He gave her a soft smile that she was not familiar to since the events with Agumon beign kidnapped. She was probably the only one that knew how badly that hurt her brother and somehow made him more reserved with his emotions. Not that he was too emotional or weak, but she knew he was having a bad time even though he tried to show himself as a tough guy.
Taichi knew his sister was right, but he himself didn't know what to say if he had to say anything. He could feel the tension flow into his vains and deep down inside he felt quite lost. Anytime soon he would have to face whatever is going on with him, but he didn't feel ready to. Seeing him emotional and weak just made him disgusting with himself. He turned back again to keep on slicing the salad.
"Don't worry, Hikari. It's just that we have too much to deal with right now." At least he wasn't lying, but he knew it woudn't convince her. She didn't know if she should add anything else to their conversation, but she needed to show him she would listen to him when he needed someone to talk to. When she was about to say something the phone rang, making her leave the kitchen area. It was Takeru telling his friend he couldn't join the team the next afternoon at the digital world, since his father asked him to visit the TV Tower for a cup of coffee with his older brother Yamato.
"So, we need to have a quick dinner and go to sleep! Tomorrow we'll have too much to do and just a few to help us." Taichi said as his sister told him Takeru and Yamato wouldn't be able to help the next day. His tense expression showed up once more while he and his sister started having dinner. She gave him her worried glare, the one he knew well enough so she didn't need to say a word. Uncomfortable, he avoided her eyes, useless.
"I'm worried..." She was surprised he said something, deciding to keep silent so he could feel comfortable to continue. "We're all heading to the end of the semester. Many of us are just too busy to help, hence we are working less." He placed his both hands in is forehead, crossing them so they could support his head's weight. By Hikari's look as she heard him, he knew now she was starting to get worried too.
"You're right. But in just a month we'll have time to do our job well. I know it's awful to make our digimon friends wait for our help, but all of us are working when we can." She tried to tranquilize him. He nodded, finishing his dinner. The two kept talking about some plans on the digital world, not spending a lot time on it since they both needed to rest for the next day. As the night fell down, all the digidestined were driven into a deep night of rest.
The next day started just as any other normal day. Taichi picked Mimi up on her new apartment and headed to meet Koushiro a few blocks away from Odaiba High. The clean blue sky that surrounded the city the day before was now filled with a few clouds, making the day a bit colder.
"I don't get it!" Mimi shoutet at a sleepy Taichi, not very well adapted to a noisy conversation in the morning. Annoyed, he answered.
"You don't get it what?" He tried to buy more time with her to answer what she wanted him to.
"Mai, Taichi. Mai!" Mimi was still trying to unterstand what made her friend go out with a girl like that. She was really arrogant to who's supposed to be Taichi's best friend, and besides, she was not buying it.
"What about her?" He looked at her with his bored eyes. He just felt bored everytime someone tried to bring the girl's name in a conversation, images of Mai coming into his mind.
"I always knew you were kind of a jerk with girls. But Mai?" He looked at her, confused. Is she on her PMS? He was used to Sora's moody phases, and learned to respect them. But Mimi was too invasive on hers, for Christ's Sake!
"I'm a jerk. She's hot." He answered, knowing it would piss her off. As he noted her indignation expression, he started smiling. To piss Sora off was kind of dangerous, considering she gets really mad at him, but Mimi was the oposite, making him laugh out loud.
"We all know that. But what makes you go out with a girl like that for six months, and don't even consider her as your girlfriend or your something? That's revolting! I've never even heard from this girl until I moved back to Japan!" Her funny nervous way of expressing herself made Taichi comfortable to talk to her about meaningless stuff. Although Mimi talked a lot, he knew she was pretty honest about what she felt and he admired that.
"It's... It's complicated." He gave her his goofy smile, trying to annoy her even more. She crossed her arms and stop, hoping her friend would notice how mad she was with his answer and started talking.
"I'm leaving you behind. Keep moving!" He told her as he kept walking, not even looking at her. Mimi and Taichi were never too close from eachother, but the boy always kept her as a great friend even after she left in America, what makes them both really comfortable when around each other.
"You're a jerk, you know that? Oh, whatever." She ran after him, giving her best not to punch him on his injured shoulder.
"Maybe I'll tell you later." He smiled at her, driving the girl mad as he didn't give any answer to what she wanted. She was so pissed he didn't want to talk to her that she ended up wanting to bully him a little too.
"Maybe you don't have to tell me." She said, pointing him her tongue. He smiled, holding her with his right arm as they walked.
"You're such a child sometimes!" He told her. That was the second day they walked school together and he was starting to enjoy it, mainly due the fact it was so funny.
"Maybe you should tell Sora." She couldn't help but say it, since he kept on bullying her all along their walk. He freezed, taking his arm away from her and avoiding her eyes. He knew he should not stop walking, but she noticed how it didn't sound nice to him. She knew he wouldn't say a word, and probably she would regret saying what she just did just by observing his reaction. But in a way, she thought it was right to at least question her friend about how could he go out with a girl that arrogant to his best friend as she was.
"What do you mean?" He spoke, for Mimi's surprise. He turned his face to stare at her, doing his best to pretend not beign too interested, hoping she would give him an answer. She knew she had to say something carefully, as she noticed how delicate the situation could be to make Taichi interested on asking her something. It could also be a chance for her to understanding the whole drama in more details.
"You're best friends, and I bet you don't talk to her about Mai." She was not too convincing, but enough to Taichi's clueless personality. She was by that moment sure the boy had no clue the girl was not very kind with Sora, and now with herself. He cleaned his throat, facing the ground.
"I don't talk to her about girls. I never did." Taichi himself could not belive how easy it was to talk to Mimi about it. He felt insecure, knowing she could be a gossiper sometimes, but he felt he could trust her. She looked at him, also surprised he was actually talking to her. To deal with Taichi would be probably easy, considering his similarity to her friend. He was the kind of guy that's hard to break, but easy to confuse and then pull up the informations she wanted.
"Actually, you're too insensitive. The truth is that you don't talk to anyone about it, because you don't think about it!" She smiled at him, poking his stomatch. He relaxed a little, feeling the dense air disappear as they started to play again.
"Are you suggesting I'm gay or something? Because I can prove you, you're very wrong!" He replied, faking an indignation face.
"Honey, I don't need any proof. You're too boyish to like a girl, and that's why you don't think about it. And that's why you're a jerk!" She answered him playfully, but deep down trying to touch him in a way. The fact that he was such a pig, even to a girl she didn't quite like, made her really bad about her friend's actions. By the look at his face as he faced her, she knew she did touch him.
"You're really trying to get into me today, aren't you?" He answered her, trying to pretend he was not feeling a little annoyed at her. She smiled, shaking her head in denial.
"If you don't like her, why don't you just tell her and end this?" She couldn't help but ask. Taichi was not unpredictable, but he could be a little secretive about his feelings sometimes. However, as they kept talking to each other, it was staring to get easier to understand his emotions.
"Who said I don't like her?" He asked her, noticing Koushiro just a few steps away from them.
"Nobody needs to." She smiled at him, finishing their conversation as they met Koushiro. The boy carried a very tired expression, forcing his both friends to stare at him worried.
"Koushiro, did you get hit by a bus or something?" Taichi didn't even greet his friend before showing him how worried he was about his friend's tired aspect.
"He's working too much lately, I guess." The girl responded, noticing her tired friend was thinking too slow to answer Taichi.
"I'm fine guys. Just spending too much time on the network planning our day." He answered slow, trying to keep himself strong to follow his friends conversation.
"You know what? You're the one of us who's working hard the most! Today you should take the day off!" Mimi added enthusiastic, shaking her friend as she poked him on his shoulder. It was absurd for Koushiro to take the day off, since he was the head of the entire group that helped planning their schedule, but arguing with an annoying and persuasive Mimi and a bossy Taichi would be worthless. As they entered the big school's hall, he finally gave up and agreed that day he wouldn't be there to help his friends.
"So, see you guys tomorrow then?" Koushiro asked, sounding a little bit disappointed.
"We'll see how much of a zombie you look like tomorrow." Mimi answered before Taichi could speak. As they agreed meeting each other on the next day, the young red haired boy left towards his class.
"Okay. You dismissed him. Who's gonna help us today?" Taichi softly held the girl by her arm, so she wouldn't leave before helping him organizing his plans for the day.
"What do you mean? We're all going to help, aren't we?" She looked at him, confused.
"Mimi, many of us are really busy those weeks. I agree with you Koushiro must rest, but we need to come up with a plan to help our friends in the digital world." He hoped he could be clear to her that he was really worried about not working hard. It was awful for him to leave the digital world into ashes and darkness while they were worried about a bunch of exams and social problems. Mimi let a soft worried look showing up on her face.
"Well, you can count me and Sora in. Who else is going to join us?"
"Hikari and Daisuke, if we're lucky." He answered, not being able to hide the disappointment on his eyes. By the number of members that would help them, it was easy to tell Hikari and Daisuke would take care of the black towers as the other three helped the digimons rebulding the distroyed areas.
"I see we don't have much help today then." She faced the ground, also dissapointed it would be an unproductive day. "Hey, I have an idea!" Mimi suddenly came with something on her mind. The boy faced her in curiosity, surprised his friend was actually interested on helping. Mimi was never the biggest voluntary to help the group on digital world's issues. He raised his right eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
"Why don't we skip class today? We can ask for Daisuke and Hikari to meet us later, and we'll start early." She sounded excited to come up with a plan, opening a strong smile.
"Mimi, it's going to be just you and me. Who's gonna take care of the portals when we leave?" Her plan was for sure great, but unfortunately it didn't sound like a perfect one. Koushiro changed their digivices so they could open the portals without the help of any younger digidestined, but they needed to be monitored so they wouldn't be locked in the digital world.
"Truste me on this one! Just meet me in an hour at the computer's room" She told him enthusiastic, quickly leaving him without even answering her.
Taichi walked through the now empty halls of Odaiba High, which meant all students were already in their classes and he had to be careful so he wouldn't be noticed skipping his. Walking silently, he wondered how could Mimi managed to find anyone willing to skip class at the end of the semester just to help them. For the girl it would be okay to do that, since she just got transfered to school and is not taking any exams. Though for the rest of the group, it sounded impossible to do that before noon, when the bell rings. He entered the empty and dusty room, rarely visited on the past few weeks, turning the back lights on. Looking at his watch, he found out he had some time for a quick nap before Mimi showed up with what he expected to be bad news, sitting in one of the many empty chairs located on the back of the room.
The noise of the door quickly dragging to be opened abruptly woke the boy up. He opened his eyes and rose his head to find out who entered the room, identifying a blurry Mimi and two more other girls. As they approached his place, his eyes started to form the images of Mimi, Sora and Miyako, all laughting at his just-woke-up confused expression.
"And that's a very delicate way to wake someone up!" He murmured moody, squeezing his eyes and streching out.
"Good morning to you too." Sora greeted him with a soft smile, followed by Miyako, who waved her hand slowly. The boy blinked quickly in confusion as he tried to understand how did Mimi manage to convince his responsible auburn friend to skip class, and drag the other girl from her school to Odaiba High.
"Miyako's staying here to study for some exams and will keep her eyes on the computer." Mimi noticed her friend's confused look, and tried to explain her plan to him.
"Yes, but I can only stay until noon. I have to take the final papers to register myself in Odaiba High today." The young girl sat in a chair beside the only boy in the room, turning on the monitor in front of her.
"So, what's the plan for today?" Sora asked, taking the other sit beside Taichi. As Miyako opened a map on the screen, the four teenagers stared at the monitor trying to come up with a reasonable plan for the day.
"Well, we can't work with the black towers in the morning, since our partners can't digivolve. I guess we can go to this area we worked in yesterday and start rebuilding it." Taichi pointed at the monitor, indicating an area in the central Server Continent.
"You mean, literaly work on building activities? Like carrying bricks and all of those stuff?" Mimi blinked quickly, confused.
"Of course not! We have a magic wand! All we need is a spell." Taichi opened a huge smile in his face, waiting for a drama show. Sora smiled at his joke, also expecting a funny reaction from her friend. Mimi knew that if she complained about anything, the boy would fool her for the rest of the day, since it was her plan to skip class and start early. With that she decided to hide her outraged expression.
"Actually, Palmon will be useful on carrying all of those stuff." She tried to convince their friends she was okay with the plan, sounding as serious as possible. Taichi opened another big smile, ignoring her answer, and stood up.
"Okay, so here's what we'll do. Miyako, you'll stay until noon, and then Sora or I will come back to take your place. Mimi will stay there, since she's the most useful of us." Mimi gave him one of her dangerous look, quickly trying to hide it so he wouldn't make more fun of her, as Miyako and Sora tried to keep a laugh.
"Hikari and anyone who will join us will come here first. I will text her." Miyako told the three, as they all took place close to her, preparing themselves to open the portal. A great light invaded the big empty room, making the three older teenagers vanish with it.
The sun shines in a bright sky above the recently arrived teenagers, lying on an arid landscape. The strong heat immediately forced the girls to remove their uniform coats, leaving them with their usual green skirts and white shirts while the boy took off his green suit. The three recognized the area to be a familiar one that they visited when searching for Koromon's Village about three years ago.
"Hey guys, over here!" Agumon shouted at them, Taichi standing up quickly helping the two girls to stand up as their digimon partners ran happily into their direction.
The group headed towards the small village close to them, left in wreckage by a group of digimons under evil spiral's influence. A team of working Koromons carried an amount of wood into the village's direction, while another one more far away from them worked on rebuilding huts, and so many others on diversified activities.
"I see we have a lot to do here..." Taichi spoke, analysing the hole area. Mimi looked around, struggling with herself so she wouldn't show her panic on working with what she was about to. She started murmuring something at her partner, slowly distancing from her two friends.
"Taichi, I think the digimons can help carrying the materials we need to work with, while we help the group on rebuilding the huts. What do you think?" Sora gave him a look, not sure if she should have spoken directly to him, wondering how would be his reaction due his past few days mood.
"Sounds like a great plan, Sor." Taichi answered distracted. Sora looked at him, trying to hide her surprise as he answered her like how he just did. Silence fell between them as Mimi approached them.
"So, I'm going to be the supervisor of the digimons working on materials transport." Mimi told the two, trying to sound as convincing as she could be so they wouldn't argue or fool her about her decision.
"Don't you want your magic wand?" Taichi fooled her, opening another big smile as she gave him an annoyed glance.
"You'll probably need it to do your job, Kamiya!" She couldn't hide her irritation as her friend fooled her. Everyone knows how Mimi and those kind of work are not meant to be on the same page, what made her feel awful for not being helpful enough even though she wanted to.
"Taichi, stop!" Although she found it funny to see Taichi's jokes, Sora thought it was a little bit mean to her since she was actually trying to help. The boy turned his eyes to face her as his smile slowly faded, nodding in silence and then moving his eyes away from her once more. In that moment, Sora figured out she once again crossed the line with her friend, feeling the awkwardness between them hit her.
"Sometimes I wonder how Sora can actually stand you!" Mimi pointed out her tongue to the boy as a reply to his previous insult. Taichi immediately turned his eyes away from his friend, pretending to ignore what the girl just said to him, keeping a serious expression as he started a conversation with a group of Koromon. The girl switched a confused look with Sora, who avoided her friend's eyes.
"What was that about?" Mimi whispered, as she pulled her friend by her arm.
"I wish I knew..." Sora answered her friend quietly, staring distantly at her friend talking to the group of Digimon. Mimi raised her right eyebrow, ready to formulate another question, interruped by the boy approaching them.
"So, it's time to move." He told the two seriously, putting both of his hands on his pockets and keeping his eyes straight to Mimi's. She clearly noted how awkward the boy was being at that moment, and as she started thinking, she figured he was acting like this for a while when Sora was around. "Mimi, you can do whatever you want to do, it's just great you're helping anyway." He smiled gently at her, trying to make her feel better about the joke he just made, as she answered with a soft smile.
The boy slowly turned his face to meet the light brown eyes of his other friend, trying not to look so tense as he was acting for the past few months. "The digimons are rebuilding the big house in the middle of the village..." He felt like he was already being weird by acting so serious. He made his best to relax his countenance and finished "I guess they could use our help. Would you join me, Sora?"
She nodded as they started to walk towards the center of the village, silently. The girl's thoughts hit the boy walking beside her. Taichi's mood was like a tennis match for her. Sometimes he's kind and caring, sometimes he's just a jerk, more especific to her. She spent the last six months wondering what could ever lead him to act like that to her, and besides all the pain she felt by watching him walk away, she still missed the messed-hair boy. Sometimes she wondered if it was due the fact that she was not there for him when the incident with Agumon and Ken happened. They were close friends since they were kids, more than him and Yamato or Koushiro, but she definitely failed when he needed her the most. If that was it, he absolutely had a reason to be angry at her, but... But she never knew about Agumon's kidnap before they rescued him, and she only did because Koushiro told her. Usually Taichi would call her right away, just as she used to do when she needed someone's help, so that didn't make any sense. It could actually be Mai's fault too, since they started to go out by that time. Oh boy, how that confused her.
"Where are you going?" The girl came back from her worries, facing the curious look of her friend as he called her. She was so distracted she didn't notice the group had already arrived at the place they would rebuild the big house, blushing.
"I'm sorry, I guess I got a little distracted." She forced a smile, immediately approaching the boy, he turning his eyes to face the group of Koromon in front of him. She kept staring at him, thinking that like his mood, his maturity was also bipolar. He grew up a lot, acting like a real man when he needed to, but was such a child sometimes.
"Did you hear us?" He asked her seriously. He could easily notice she was not on her best days, observing her as she was day dreamining for most of the time, but he wouldn't ask.
"What?" She came back again, embarrassed.
"Sora, are you okay?" The pink digimon asked her friend, giving her a worried look as the girl blushed.
"I'm so sorry, I guess I was just..."
"You don't need to explain yourself" The boy gave her a soft look, as he continued "We're going to help building the walls here." He kept staring at her, slowly changing his soft expression into a serious one as she faced his eyes.
"Okay?" She was definitely letting the awkwardness between them get her that day, which meant it would be an awful one for her. Confused, she tried to pay attention to her friend's guidance.
"Seriously, you're too weird today. If you..." He started talking to her, but stopped suddenly. He faced the ground, also feeling awful by not being able to make the girl in front of him at least a little bit better about whatever was getting into her. He took a deep breath, raising his soft and dark eyes to face her confused ones. "If you want to go back, don't worry about us." He noticed how her eyes were giving her a slightly annoyed expression, turning his face away.
"Are you kidding me? I'm pretty much fine, thanks for asking. Just tell me what we should do." His crazy mood was affecting her, but being mad would just make things worse. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
"Agumon and the Koromon's are placing the bricks on the wall. Biyomon, can you help me covering them?" The pink digimon nodded, giving him a smile. "Okay then, Sora can you start panting it? I'm gonna help you later on with it." He quickly gave her a look.
As they started working, his thoughts flew towards the red haired girl working a few steps away from him. He wondered what was making her feel sad, as he knew she was. He wanted to talk to her, but just couldn't do it, at least not yet. The boy knew he hurted her by walking away, but he needed to. His eyes observed her, letting him think about how beautiful the girl was turning into, as her face and body was evolving into a woman's one. Her worried eyes started to worry Taichi's as well. His strong beating heart started to bretray his thoughts as he started to think about approaching her, trying to justify that he couldn't stand still as his friend appeared to be sad. He felt the air getting dense and heavy, as he took the first steps towards her.
As the girl was starting to calm down, she noticed her friend approaching and decided to keep working silently. She didn't need anymore awkwardness for the day, or maybe she just couldn't handle it. As she pretended to ignore him, he stood beside her for a few seconds, appearing to be looking for something.
"Erm, Sora... Do you know where can I find a brush?" He tried to sound as kind as possible, trying to respect whatever was going on with her. She started to look around too, still not facing him.
"It's over there, on that can" She pointed an old can a few steps away from them.
"So that's it. From now on, I'm going to help you painting." He placed a hand on her left shoulder, giving her a soft smile as he stood by her side.
The bright sky above would accompany the group in a long day of work. For Mimi, it would be a hard challenge. To Sora, what could be a huge tennis match between friendship and disturbance. And for Taichi, a huge and secret sacrifice.
