Sora stepped outside of the main building to find Tai there with his hands in his pockets leaning against a lamppost. He was facing the opposite way. 'What sort of plan have you come up with this time?' Sora asked causing Tai to shudder. 'You startled me!' He said pulling out a clipboard.

Sora looked what was on the clipboard. She rolled her eyes. 'Seriously, did you just print this out or something? Or did you have that sheet stashed somewhere?' She said. He smirked. 'Of course I made it in advanced. Everyone knew that Takeru and Hikari would date one day. I just made that sheet in advanced because I knew one day that I would need it.' Tai explained.

'Why am I not surprised by that?' She said reading the contents of the sheet. Tai only grinned.

The heading of the sheet was in big bold letters: The Test. A few spaces down there were a couple of checkboxes. After each check box there was some trait that apparently Takeru was supposed to have to be perfect enough for his sister – Patience, Loyalty, Logic/Intelligence, Care, Protectiveness, Humor, and Love.

Sora smiled. 'You know, I agree with these traits. But Tai, this is Takeru.' Tai shrugged. 'It's better to be safe than sorry.'

'Now, tell me. How are you going to get the proof of these traits?' Sora said. Tai grinned. 'We'll just follow them around for the day and get the proof…'

Sora glared at him. 'Tai, I am not going to stalk my two friends!'

'This is not stalking. This is making sure Hikari is with the right guy.' Tai said. Sora sighed, defeated. 'I'm only doing this to prove that Takeru is a great guy – and you know it.'

Tai grinned. 'Are you coming along to spend more time with Taichi Yagami?' He said. Sora narrowed her eyes at him. Yes, she really was inside. But she wasn't going to admit that. 'No, I'm not.' She said. Why did it always sound like Tai was flirting with her? She couldn't tell the difference!

Tai shrugged casually. 'Whatever you say…'

Sora pushed him off the curb. 'Hey! I could've been run over by a car!' Tai said stumbling back onto the curb. 'That was what I was aiming for…' Sora muttered.

'Anyways, we'll have to go find them. They're taking a walk across the city.' Tai said scouting the area. 'Do you have any IDEA how big Odaiba is?' Sora said.

'They only left a few minutes ago. They couldn't have gone f-' Tai said when he spotted a blonde head. It had to be them. There were only two people in Odaiba that had blonde hair – Ishida and Takaishi. 'I'm either seeing Takaishi or Ishida right now.' Tai said.

Sora hit him on the back of his head. 'Don't go to last name calling! Yamato is your best friend and Takeru might as well be your unrelated little brother!' Sora shouted at him.

Tai grinned. 'It's fun… I mean don't you just love saying Ishida and Takaishi?' Tai said playfully. Sora rolled her eyes. She grabbed him back the hand and ran off toward the blonde head. They spotted Hikari and knew that that was Takeru. She let go of Tai's hand to keep distance and stopped unexpectedly causing Tai to crash into her.

'OW!' She moaned as she found herself on the concrete floor with Tai a few inches away from her. 'Tell me when you're going to stop like that.' Tai complained getting up. He held his hand out to Sora to help her up. She accepted.

Sora brushed some dirt off her. 'Let's keep our distance.' Tai said. Sora sighed. 'How are you going to get him to show these traits?'

Tai shrugged. 'I'll do whatever it takes.'

Sora rolled her eyes and followed Tai. He was creeping along walls humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme song.

'You know you're attracting more attention by doing that, right?' Sora hissed trying to look like she didn't know who the hell Tai was.

'What, are you embarrassed of me?' Tai said walking normally.

'What do you think?'

'Was that an insult, Sora?'

'Yes it was.'

Tai was silent.

Sora grinned. She won this battle.

Tai spotted a woman dressed in a very revealing outfit. Tai grinned. 'I think it's time we test our little Takeru about loyalty.' Tai said. Sora gave him a confused glance and then looked to see where Tai was looking.

She stared wide-eyed at Tai. 'We can't do that, Tai! You could jeopardize the relationship between Hikari and Takeru!' She said catching on his idea.

'If he can't be trusted not to stare, or go with woman dressed like that then he can't be trusted with Hikari! He could cheat on her.'

Sora sighed. 'This is Takeru we're talking about.' She said weakly. She knew that Tai wasn't going to give up. She saw him walk over to the lady across the street. He stood a few inches taller than her and Sora couldn't help but stare at how… attractive he looked.

Sora shut her eyes. It was difficult to be in love with your best friend and having the pain – the pain of not knowing if they loved you back. She opened her eyes again to see the woman nodding and Tai handing her a few dollars.

Tai grinned and walked back to where Sora was standing. 'Just watch.' He said.

The woman headed towards the young couple. She tapped Takeru on the shoulder. Hikari and Takeru both turned to see the woman standing there giving Takeru a seductive smile. Takeru shivered. 'What do you need?' He said bluntly. He didn't look interested into the woman at all.

'I need you to help me. I'm a bit sad right now. Will you make me happy?' She said with a smile. Sora stared. This was a bit… creepy.

Takeru stared at the woman wide-eyed. 'Um… I'm busy with my girlfriend. Go find some other loser.' He said harshly. He linked arms with Hikari and quickened his pace. Hikari smiled at him. 'You know… most boys would be drooling over her.'

'I'm not like most boys.' Takeru said. Hikari smiled and snuggled closer to him.

'Aw…' Sora cooed. The woman's expression was blank. She shook it off and gave a wink to Tai. She then walked away. 'Was that a wink like 'I'll see you tonight' or 'you're welcome'?' Sora said.

'It was a You're Welcome type of thing. Why, are you jealous?' Tai teased. Sora rolled her eyes. She saw Tai take a pen out and put a check mark in the box where it read Loyalty.

I'm sorry. It's short. Only three pages long on Microsoft Word. Oh well, it's the content that matters, right? This chapter sucked, though. It wasn't funny at all. But… I'll try and put more energy into the next chapters. I promise.
