A/n: WOW! Nearly 10 reviews in one day? That deserves a reward. And guess what! Two chapters in two days! Keep this up and we could finish the story by the end of the month! If you review, I will post. It seems only fair.

So thank you for all the reviewers and people who have put this on their fav list. I am stunned. I love the randomness of some reviews. OMG amusing!

You have appealed to the inner attention whore in me! Good Job!

Anyway- the shit has hit the fan- but are you sure that there isn't more yet to come? You will have to wait and see!


With all her might and a little maneuvering Tai's ex-girlfriend managed to pull him down on the floor as she accidentally fell.

She saw her chance and kissed him full on with everything she had before he could figure out what had happened.

Sora had, of course could not have picked a worse time to exit Tai's bedroom, dressed in one of his track suits.

She had been finishing towel drying her hair when she heard a noise and then a thud. Wondering what was going on, she saw Tai and the other girl at the worst possible moment.

Her heart felt like it had been ripped out of her chest as she stood there watching that girl and Tai on the floor… She felt her legs go weak and she held on to the door frame for support.

Hot tears streamed down her cheeks before she even thought to start to cry. As the kiss seemed to be drawn out for an eternity Sora was frozen with shock and disbelief.

The longer she stayed there the more it felt as if she was being stabbed and slapped. The ache from the hole in her chest throbbed so painfully that she could have sworn it was a real wound. Every cell of her body screamed with bitter agony. Finally letting out a strangled sob, she turned around and returned to Tai's room to get her bag.

For moment Tai felt like he was having an out of body experience. He could see Ami kissing him after pulling him to the floor. He couldn't feel anything, not the warmth of her lips, or the contact with her skin, it was completely nothing. Then he heard the door of his room open and his heart cried. The look on her face… the tears… the pain she was in made his soul scream to be returned to his body. To stop her from leaving… to make sure she understood what had happened….

He finally got his wish when a slightly damp towel was thrown at him, and he broke off contact with Ami.

He looked up and saw Sora putting her shoes one and leaving the condo.

"Ah, your little Sora saw that… I don't understand why she would be so upset. You did tell her we are in love, right? She was just filler till I came back."

"You know, now that I think about it, we were NEVER really in love. You better hope that I can fix things with Sora, otherwise I might just have to break my rule of never hitting a woman." Tai said as he got up and wiped his lips off in disgust.

Running out the door he found Sora pressing the elevator button repeatedly.

"Sora… wait!" He called to her as the doors opened and she rushed in feverously pushing the lobby button on the control panel.

Before the doors shut Tai threw his hand and got pinched a bit by the doors, but they opened none the less.

"Sora, please." He said trying to look into her eyes; pleading that she listens to him. Even with him standing in the elevator door way, she would not look at him. He made a move to try and touch her, but she backed away almost as if his hands would burn her.

"It's not what you think. It was… Ami… I … please just listen to me for a second." He asked.

"Why?" She sobbed and looked at him finally. But her eyes were not the soft and gentle ones he loved to get lost in… these orbs were filled with anger, and worst of all utter anguish. He had caused this… that fact slapped him harder as he saw her lips quiver a bit trying to contain the heart wracking sobs that threatened to come out.

"Sora, I love you. I have always loved you." He tried to get through to her, but she was not listening. Her eyes drifted from his eyes to his lips… the place where he had kissed her… they had been soft and loving against hers… but they were also the same lips that had kissed another not even three minutes after they have invoked such passion in her.

The tears came stronger then. She couldn't stand it there… looking at him… remembering the image of him and that woman on the floor…

"Let me go." She pleaded with him, feeling like she was going to vomit any minute. When he did not move, Sora did the only thing she could; pulling her arm back she punched him swiftly on the face.

Tai did not expect that, in fact it was such a shock that the force of her blow sent him falling on his butt, and no longer in the elevator's door track. Ami was at his side as he fell, and held him even when he was struggling to get back up. Finally pushing her off, he looked up to see the elevator doors close.


Huddling in the corner of the elevator, Sora held back the tears as best she could. She still had to get home… all she wanted to do was get home. Stopping the elevator at the third floor, she got off and took the stairs and left through the back doors and out into the city with a broken heart.


Tai got up and ran to the stairs like a mad man.

The numerous flights of stairs did not register with him, all he was concerned with was getting to the lobby and stopping Sora from leaving.

Making it to the lobby he ran to the elevator, not caring if the lobby staff thought he was crazy for being only in lounge pants. He waited as the elevator came to the lobby and the doors opened.

"Sor.." The elevator was empty. Tai felt as if he had been punched again, she was not there. Looking around the lobby, he searched frantically for her, but found nothing. He was about to run outside and look for her when Matt came walking into the complex.

The big smile that was on the blonde's face went away seeing his roommate in a near panic, a big red mark on his face and only wearing pants.

"Tai?" Matt sounded concerned and went to grab his friend. "What's the matter?" Matt asked as Tai began to cry.

"It's over…" Tai wept like a little kid as he held on to Matt.

Slowing, the blond moved the distraught man into the elevator and hit the button for the top floor.

Tai didn't stop crying and Matt could only imagine what had happened. He pieced together that Sora had suddenly left, but for what reason was still unknown to Matt. And Tai was not in a state to talk. He was panting and sobbing. Matt was worried he might pass out soon.

Having Tai sit down, Matt hoped he would feel better.

Seeing something sparkle out of the corner of his eye, Matt bent over to pick up the piece of jewelry. Looking at his roommate, Matt felt his heart constrict noticing it was the necklace Tai had given to Sora a few weeks before. It was a soccer ball with diamonds and black stones that hung from a silver chain. Tai had been so excited to give it to her. And she wore it all the time. It was sort of like a promise ring, he assumed seeing how it meant a lot to both of them.

Matt quickly put it in his pocket for safe keeping at the moment… who knows what Tai would have done if he saw it there…

The elevator got to the top floor and Matt helped Tai to their place.

Entering the condo Matt noticed something was off. There was someone in the kitchen. Looking over there he instantly knew what had happened between Tai and Sora.

"Get out NOW!" Matt commanded ready to get violent towards the woman who had caused Tai pain in the past, and now in the present.

"I.."

"NOW!"


Sora made it home somehow. But the moment she tried to open her door, her hands were shaking so bad she could not do it.

Ringing the bell instead and then curling up on the floor by the door, Sora finally succumbed to the pain and wept.

Mimi found her there and quickly called for the other girls to come and help.

Without asking questions the girls got Sora in the house and over to her bedroom. Sora didn't have the strength to fight it anymore… she was cold and if it was not for the pain she would have been numb to the world.

Getting her into comfortable pajamas, Sora was put into the warmth of her bed. Three very worried girls sat by her side as they watched something they never wanted to see again… Sora completely shattered.

Thankfully the emotional toll was so great that Sora soon fell asleep.

"Mimi, did she say much?" Kari asked looking extremely worried.

"She kept saying that it was over… I can only assume something happened with Tai…" Mimi replied just as worried.

"But what could have happened to cause this?" Yolei wondered looking at the closed door to Sora's bedroom.

"I don't know, but I am going to find out." Mimi said as she picked up the phone and called Joe.


A/n: Oh snap… another cliffhanger. I guess you will have to just keep on reviewing. If the attention whore in me has been satisfied for the moment, I just might have to update again this week.

Have at it people!
