"Hey Taichi," Yamato called, after noticing Taichi's mop head down the crowded hallway. He had received an e-mail from him last night regarding a movie night for today. His stupid computer had crashed afterwards so he couldn't email Taichi back to tell him he wasn't coming. Not that he didn't want too…he would just love to spend the majority of three hours with the digidestines watching some stupid movie and then catching a bite to eat, but he had better things to do. Like finish that freakin song he's been working on for the last three weeks. Not only was he completely irritated with the lack of sleep he was getting, but he really just wanted to concentrate on finishing the song (it's been 3 BLOODY WEEKS!!) and then putting it out of for his head until he had to worry about the bloody lyrics…for crying out loud. "Hey!" Yamato snapped, smacking Taichi over the head when he caught up to him, "Didn't you hear me?"

Taking the earphones out of his ears, Taichi raised an eyebrow at him forcing Yamato rolled his eyes, "Guess not,"

"What's up, Yamato?" he asked, rubbing his head before continuing on his way to his locker so he could grab his lunch,

"I need to tell you I won't be able to make it tonight," Yamato stated simply

"Such a surprise," Taichi muttered under his breathe before asking, "Enlighten me, why not?"

"You're in a happy mood," Yamato snapped, a little pissed at Taichi's attitude. It was Taichi's own fault. He told him less then 24 hours ago. What would of happened if he others plans, "I have to finish a song for the band," Yamato answered, truthfully. He had a feeling that Taichi wasn't in a good mood, and if he lied that Taichi would be even more upset at him,

"Right…I forgot that your music career came first," Taichi muttered, voice plain and emotionless,

Rolling his eyes, Yamato resist the need to smack Taichi a couple of times over, "Look I don't want you to be mad. You told me about this last night. What did you want me to do? Drop everything and say, 'Great idea Taichi, I'll be there'?"

"No," Taichi muttered, once again a little indifferent, "It may be shocking to you, but I kinda had a feeling that you wouldn't come,"

"That was harsh," Yamato flinched, stopping and reaching for Taichi to stop as well. Why the heck was he being so sensitive for? It was just a stupid movie night. It wasn't although they wouldn't see each other at the days end. "Look, I don't want to argue or fight. Sora hates it when we fight, but I had plans for tonight already. It's not like we wouldn't see each other later on. Why don't you just plan for something sometime next week? All I'm asking for if you just give us a little more of warning instead of making a decision for everyone."

Not meeting his eyes, Taichi just glared at the empty space in front of him. He had started drowning Yamato out with the mention of Sora. Sora hates it when we fight. So what if she does. Was there a reason he would stop fighting because of that? Would the emotions he felt just fade away just because Sora couldn't deal with it…There was no doubt in his mind he was still bitter that Yamato and Sora ended up together. He felt it was half because of him somehow. He wasn't sure why, but he felt that he pushed her away, and because of that she stopped playing soccer and stopped hanging out with him. At Christmas a couple of years ago, she made it painfully clear that she didn't want anything to do with him anymore; that she wanted to have a future with Yamato instead. He wanted her to be happy, so he encouraged her to chase after what she wanted. But it left an empty feeling inside of him; he thought that they had had something special…but apparently not.

"It doesn't matter," Taichi snapped, throwing his hands up, "Besides, I forgot that our own personal business is more important then catching up with old times." Glaring at Yamato as if daring him, Taichi smirked when Yamato did nothing but stare at him back, "Don't let it kill you that you're not coming, Yamato. I would hate to see you lose sleep over this matter since everyone else has cancelled anyways,"

Feeling a little bad with that information, Yamato tried to think of a reason why Taichi would want to do something without so much as a warning. What the hell would be so important?

When Yamato didn't reply, Taichi laughed a little, his head shaking. "Guess those crest are useless now," he muttered before adding in, "Don't worry about it. It was suppose to be a surprise but I guess there's no reason for it anymore,"

Turning away, Taichi walked away from Yamato, his head swarming with anger. Maybe if he told them that Mimi was in town, they'd give a rat's ass…but why should he? Why should it make a difference? He really wasn't surprised when he got e-mails back, replying from the request for a movie night, gathered with different excuses of why they couldn't hang out tonight. Fine and dandy, he could understand from their points of views, he really could as everyone had school, extra-curricular activities to worry about, and whatever personal bull that they had to focus on, so he could understand but weren't they suppose to be a team? Shouldn't they be there for each others? What would happen if he was suicidal; and this was his last attempt to reach out? That wasn't the case, but what if it was? Whatever, it wasn't like he didn't have other things to worry about.


Sitting down with Sora and Koushiro, Yamato felt really irritated. "Hey," Sora smiled, sipping her juice box, "Taichi's not with you?"

Shaking his head, Yamato frowned, "Taichi emailed you guys last night, right. About something to do with a movie?"

Nodding, Koushiro answered simply while typing on his laptop, "I can't do anything tonight, and I have cramp school,"

"I have tennis practice," Sora started, forcing a smile, "Why'd you ask?"

"It seems that everyone's canceled on him. And I just talked to him in the hall…he seemed really upset that no one was coming,"

Thinking for a moment, Sora shrugged, "Maybe he just wanted to forget about everything and just have a day with old friends, or something,"

"Yeah," Koushiro nodded, looking up from he's computer, "You guys have to worry about post-secondary soon. Maybe he's just stressed. Maybe it would be a good idea if we all just hung out more. Just to get away from all of these exams,"

"Yeah!" Sora chirped in, "I know that Jyou has been getting overwhelmed with university, so maybe we should plan something just so that it's a bit easier to get passed these exams!"

Ignoring them, Yamato thought back to Taichi when he was daring him. Something was wrong. Their relationship has been rocky for the last couple of years, and had become something more of an acquaintance then friendship. And it was obviously because of Sora, but they had, even for a little while, bypassed that, or at least Yamato had thought that they had. It wasn't as though he was trying to be rude by not going to the movies, but he had more pressing matters to worry about. But with the news that everyone has cancelled…it had surprised Yamato a lot; he would have thought that the majority of them would of shown up. But then again, Takeru was probably busy with helping Mom move, Hikaru, Yolei seemed to be busy with their new entry in the Girlish Fandom, and Daisuke and Ken were intensely training for soccer. He hated to admit it, but the digidestines, who were so close at one time, had drift apart…far more then he had initially imagine. Maybe they should make it up to Taichi and have a party for him, or something. It seemed that Taichi was the only one that was trying to glue everyone together again.

"Maybe," he muttered, randomly, "I can make some time next week Wednesday or Thursday?"

"Cram-school on Thursday till 9," Koushiro muttered, "How about the Weekend or Friday? We could go camping," he joked making Sora laughed,

"That would be fun," she smiled, "I have a game to worry about on Thursday, so that's a bad day for me, and Wednesday I'll be busy training,"

"I guess I could see if I could have the band practices on Thursday and Friday afternoon instead of Friday and Saturday," Yamato muttered, considering rescheduling everything until the matter could somehow be resolved, and for his friendship with Taichi to go back to what it used to be.

"Alright," Koushiro laughed, "Then I'll send an email out to everyone to see when would be best time for everyone else,"

Nodding, Yamato couldn't help but feel that he was missing something important, and a sinking feeling about Taichi. He still considered Taichi a friend, and didn't want anything to happen to him, but for some reason it felt like something was or already happened.

"Hey," Sora asked, touching Yamato's shoulder, "Are you okay, hon?"

Flinching at the pet name, he hated how she only used it when either he or she was upset. Shaking his head, he started picking at Sora food, feeling his appetite failing him.

He had decided; he'd be the one to call Taichi when the plans were done. I really didn't want this rift between them to get any bigger.
