Running threw the stadium and weaving the human traffic, Yamato shrugged not to trip or fall. He was late…very late…well not really late as Sora's match had yet to start, but late enough that he might not caught her to wish her luck. Kouji, Yastu and Daichi were behind him, struggling to keep up with his pace, but Yamato eventually lost track of them after he turned the corner. Oh well, they knew where the seats were set, so they could always meet up late on.
Reaching the training room, Yamato poked his head in. Seeing Suki, are friend of Sora's, Yamato took a step into the room, reaching for her, "Hey,"
"Oh, Yamato," Suki smiled, turning to face him, "You're late,"
"Thanks, has she gone out yet?"
"Nopes," Suki laughed, dragging him through the room, "She's still prepping herself. She's against Umieya Hashimoto, a really high rank player so Sora's completely psyched out. Tell her she'll be fine!"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"If you saw Umieya's last matches you'd understand,"
"Is it that bad…?" Yamato asked, a little unbelieving. But then again, there are some intense players here today.
"It gets worst." Suki started, but stopped when she neared Sora, who was sitting on a bench, her shoulders slumped in near defeat. "Sora, guess who I found!" she squeaked before heading back they way they came, "I'll leave you guys alone,"
"Yamato?" Sora asked, surprised, "Hey! Where have you been?!"
"Sorry, sorry, and sorry," Yamato cried, slapping his hands together apologetic, "Daichi found my song and insisted that we practice it for the next show. I tried to call you but you're phone was off, and I would of called you at home, but you were upset at you're Mom so I didn't want you to interact with her for my sake,"
"Oh…" Sora smiled, blushing, feeling suddenly stupid for getting mad at him. He mother had previously cut off her cell phone for her constant use of it (the bill only came up to a couple hundreds…heh). She had come home to find it turned off last night, which just added to her current situation with her mother.
Hugging him, Sora complained, "Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. I thought you were avoiding me because you didn't call. Sorry,"
"I would never do that, Sora. What happened to your phone anyways?"
"Mom cut it off," Sora slumped in annoyed-defeated
"Saw the bill huh," Yamato smirked
"Oh shut up," Sora laughed, hugging him tightly,
"Don't worry," Yamato muttered, hugging her back, "You'll do fine,"
Smiling against him, Sora sighed, before pulling back, "Yeah," she nodded; as Yamato leaned down to give her a gentle kiss.
