Chapter 7
"I can't believe you said that to them" Sora said as she was trying to hold her laughter because she remembered what Tai said as he closed the door
"Come Sor, did you hear Mimi, I swear that the people three blocks away heard her" Tai said cracking up
"It wasn't nice" Sora said chiding Tai, but wasn't effective because of the escaping giggles
"So, it was still funny" Tai said grinning
"That I agree with" Sora said grinning right back
They both laughed for while about that and what the reaction of the couple would be.
"Man, I bet Izzy was redder than the cardigan you wore for Christmas last year" Tai said
"How do you know that I wore that red cardigan?" Sora asked
"Because I helped Matt pick it out" Tai said then immediately clamped his mouth shut
That's when everything froze
"What did you say Tai" Sora said
"I, um, I, well look at the time we better get back" Tai said as he started to run, but was stopped as Sora grabbed the back of his shirt to stop him
"ACK"
"You're not going anywhere Kamiya until you tell me" Sora said in a demanding way
Tai felt very small at this moment
"Kamiya, you better start talking" Sora growled
"It was nothing Sora, I swear" Tai said in a panic like tone
Sora eyed her best friend carefully, she knew that Tai had the ability to lie to anyone, but her.
"I don't believe you, and you'd better tell me or I'll bring forth the great Takenouchi wrath" Sora said menacingly
Tai coward as he knew that Sora was serious and had been on the receiving end of the great Takenouchi wrath one too many times.
"Nothing Sora, gotta go" Tai said as he ran off as fast as he could before Sora could grab him again
"COME BACK HERE TAI KAMIYA WE'RE NOT FINISHED!" Sora shouted running after Tai
Sora chased Tai quite a way as they passed their apartment building many times
"Come on Sor, just forget it!" Tai shouted
"No way, you're going to tell me!" Sora shouted
"It's nothing Sor!" Tai shouted back
"Bull Tai, now stop this and tell me!" Sora shouted
"You have to catch me!" Tai shouted as he put on more speed
Damn he sped up Sora thought

Up in the apartment TK and Kari watched this with amusement and wonder.
"What's going on?" Kari asked turning to TK
"I think Tai said something stupid" TK answered
"I know that, but I wonder what stupid thing he said" Kari said smacking TK in the arm lightly
Suddenly the door burst opened then slammed shut
"Man, I didn't think I would lose her" Tai said out of breath
"Tai, why is Sora mad at you?" Kari asked
"She not mad at me, she just wants me to tell her something that I don't want to tell her" Tai said wiping sweat from his brow
"What is the secret?" TK asked
"Cardigan" Tai answered simply
TK's eyes widen at this, but Kari looked at her brother confused
"What are you talking about Tai?" she asked demanding more information
"Ask TK, I'm going to hide in my room" Tai said as raced to his hiding spot
Kari spun around to her best friend with 'talk now' look
TK sighed
"Come on, we'd better sit" TK said
Kari followed, but when they sat, Kari had that look on her face again
"Okay, it was a year ago on Christmas. Matt was busy with his music stuff like usual and he forgot to get Sora a gift" TK said
Kari's eyes widen
"Yeah, well let's just say that mom berated Matt for that" TK said
"So what did he do?" Kari asked
"Well Matt went to me first for help, but I was busy with your present so I couldn't help. He wanted to go to Mimi, but that would be a mistake as she couldn't keep a secret" TK said
Kari nodded as she knew that Mimi was a terrible secret keeping, but not as bad as Yolei
"He finally went to Tai, since he knew that if anyone knew Sora the best it would be Tai. Anyway, Tai agreed to help since you know he'd do anything to make Sora happy" TK said
Kari nodded
"Well Tai went on a shopping hunt to find Sora the perfect gift, he found a red cardigan that he knew Sora would love, but the only problem was that it was very expensive so Tai got three jobs to get it" TK said
"So that's why he was barely home" Kari commented
TK nodded, "anyway he gave it to Matt telling him that he didn't owe him a thing and that's what friends do" TK said
Kari sighed as she knew very well how self-sacrificing her brother was at times.
"So that's what happened" Sora said
The two jumped at Sora's voice
"Sora, I didn't hear you come in" TK said
"Well I can be sneaky when I need to be. So that's what happened, I knew that Matt didn't buy that cardigan since he looked so surprised when I opened it and thanked him" Sora said
"What are you going to do?" Kari asked
"I'm going to talk to him" Sora said as she headed to Tai's room
When she got there she tried the door and found it locked
"Tai open up I know you're in there" Sora said banging on the door
"No way" Tai said
"Tai Kamiya open this door or I'll open it" Sora ordered
There was silence
Sora sighed and went to her room to find a bobby pin then headed back to Tai's door to pick the lock. She silently thanked Tai for teaching her how to pick locks.
"Stupid Tai" Sora muttered under breath as she worked
Once she got the door unlocked she open it and found Tai cowering in the corner.
"Now I'll get some answers" Sora said closing the door
"I knew I shouldn't have taught how to pick locks" Tai muttered
"TK told me Tai, why did you hide that from me" Sora said crossing her arms
"Because it would've made Matt look like fool. I mean, he forgets to buy his own girlfriend a Christmas gift, that's something a boyfriend can't do. So I helped him out that's all" Tai said
Sora frowned, but now understood it all
"Fine, I get it" Sora said
"You're not going to hurt me?" Tai asked slowly
"No, but is there anything else that I should know" Sora said eyeing Tai with a look that said don't try to lie to me
Tai gulped
"No Sora, there's nothing else" Tai said sighing
"Fine, but if there better be anything else" Sora said turning to leave
--
Outside the door Kari was listening in with TK
"I can't believe it, Tai, you fool you had your chance" Kari muttered
"Kari we better move before Sora gets to the door" TK said
Kari nodded and the two rushed back to the hoping to look innocent. Thankfully Sora nor Tai noticed as the were both in their own world.
--
Sora knew, well she felt like Tai was holding something back, but couldn't get a read on what it was. This annoyed her as she hated riddles especially when it came to her best friend. Her mind swirled with endless possibilities on what her was best friend was hiding, from the weird to the downright impossible. She shook her head to clear her mind and hope to look at it in another angle, but even that didn't work. She needed rest.
--
Tai, on the other hand was patting himself on the back for a job well done. He had dodged another bullet. He knew that he should've told Sora when he had a chance, but he couldn't see a happy ending in that like all the others times when he could've told her. He stuck by his decision on playing the role of best friend and that's all. He now had to be more careful because Sora was know on the look out for any slip ups. He couldn't do that, the first was a mistake, a stupid mistake. He couldn't do it again or it might be his last.

"So how is Mimi?' Kari asked
This jarred Tai and Sora from their private thoughts
"What did you say Kari?" Sora asked
"I asked how was Mimi doing" Kari said
"Oh she doing fine, considering the position we found her and Izzy in" Tai said smirking
"What?"
Tai then told TK and Kari about what they saw and this caused TK and Kari's eyes to widen.
"I can't believe Izzy would be doing that" TK said
"I couldn't either, but I saw it" Sora said joining in
"Well I'd say that they are further than what we thought they'd be" TK said
"You're telling me" Tai said with a sigh
"I can't believe you said that to Mimi and Izzy" Kari said shaking her head
"What? It was funny" Tai said
"'Safe sex'?" Kari questioned
"Come on, I don't want those two to go at it in the start of their relationship" Tai said
"And it was also funny" TK said chuckling
"Yes, see TK gets it" Tai said
Kari and Sora rolled their eyes
"Alright, so we've talked about the new couple, so I'm hungry let's get something to eat, who's with me?" Tai asked getting
"After all that running of course you'd be hungry" Sora said
They decided to have a lunch there and of course Tai made it
"Here we are, dig in" Tai said as he set the food out
They all ate and chatted
"So what do you think Mimi is going to do you, Tai?" TK asked
"I have no idea, but I'm going to be wearing ear plugs" Tai said
They all nodded as they knew Mimi could be quite loud when angry
