Shocking News, Heart to Heart and A Letter
Silence…that's all that filled Yamato's head right now. He couldn't believe it, he had such a great day and now…well now his great day was turning into an absolute nightmare! She was here, and her unexpected arrival was so sudden that it didn't occur to him or to his brother that she would be coming so soon…and right now this sight was everything but pretty!
"Speechless I see, Yamato I've missed you so much!" said Cassandra as she went to Yamato and gave him a hug "I've waited so long for the day that you and I will finally wed."
"…" Yamato was still speechless, but he was well aware of what was happening he just didn't know the proper way to act to it right now…
Takeru looked at his older brother with worry, he didn't like Cassandra's sudden arrival there was something about it that made him feel too uncomfortable. He didn't want to say any more.
"Ah Takeru I missed you as well. I'm so happy to see how much you've grown since the last time that we've seen each other." Said Cassandra giving Takeru a hug
Takeru, not wanting to be rude hugged her back and gave a small smile then he said "Wow, princess I never expected you to arrive so suddenly. I'm happy to see you as well."
Yamato had already snapped back to normal ever since Cassandra went to hug Takeru and he thought "Nice act little brother…I just wonder how long you can pull that off…"
"What brings you here so suddenly princess?" asked Takeru retaining the smile on his face, he himself knew that it was fake but he couldn't give in now
"Well…to start off please enough of the formalities. I mean you and I are practically family right? I wouldn't mind you calling me by my first name just as I do to you Takeru." Said Cassandra
"Oh alright prince-I mean Cassandra…if you insist." Said Takeru
"Next to answer your question I came here early for the arrangement of the marriage of course! It's wonderful the wedding will be held in about a month or so." Said Cassandra and with this Takeru didn't know if he could still pull of the smile
"A-a month?!?" he asked in surprise
"A month?!!!!????" asked Yamato in an almost yelling matter
"Yes Yamato a month. Is there a problem?" asked King Hiroaki as he looked at his older son
"N-nothing…" he lied, then Yamato looked at his mother as if asking fir help and lucky for him his mother didn't miss it
"Dear I think what Yamato is trying to say is that I don't think one month would be enough to prepare everything." Said Queen Natsuko
"Well that might be a problem, we could always extend for the preparations…" said the king thinking about it…Yamato's hope was rising until…
"Oh there isn't a need for that, we don't have to make the wedding that grand. It would just be a waist of money and such. All that matters is that we love each other…" explained Cassandra
"Of course Cassandra, thank you for your concern." Said king Hiroaki
With this Yamato didn't know what to do anymore he wanted to gawk real badly and he also thought "I don't remember confessing that I was in love with her!"
Takeru didn't know what expression to plaster on his face either, how he wished that this was a joke. He wanted to tell someone about it, but he couldn't even say anything right now.
Queen Natsuko kept a straight face, apparently she didn't know what to believe anymore. Cassandra seems like such a nice girl and yet her two sons claim otherwise. She had to find out about this for herself.
Meanwhile back in the village Sora couldn't sleep much that night she couldn't help but think about the things that Tai and Ken had told them that afternoon when Yamato and Takeru had left…she hoped that she could stop thinking about it, so she tried to shut her eyes and drift to sleep…
Flashback….that afternoon
Tai and Ken approached the others when they saw that the two princes were leaving with Jou back to the castle. They also saw their friends laughing and having the time of their lives just before they arrived. Sora and the others saw Tai and Ken approaching them and she noticed that Tai had a pretty serious look on his face and Sora didn't quite like it so she decided to ask.
"Hey Tai, you guys missed out on a pretty cool game. I never knew that Sora could play like that!" said Davis with a happy smile
"Yeah Ti she won us the game with a winning goal." Said Mimi then she noticed that Tas look didn't change one bit
"Hey Tai what's up with you and Ken? Did something happen in the restaurant?" asked Sora with a worried and concerned look in her face
"Yeah something like that…" stated Ken
"What's the matter Ken?" asked Yolei worriedly, by this time most of them were already wondering what could have happened
"What happened Tai? Is something bothering you?" asked Kari going near her brother
"Listen guys…Ken and I stumbled into some pretty bad news earlier." Started Tai as he looked at all of his friends
"What is it?" asked Cody
"It's about Cassandra. A customer I was serving earlier had a talk with me and Tai and he said that there were rumors going around the kingdom lately." Explained Ken
"Rumors? What type of rumors?" asked Mimi
"…" Koushiro kept silent for a moment then he spoke "Are you talking about the rumors of Princess Cassandra's return?" he asked
"Return? No way! You mea she's coming back already?" asked Davis with a loud sigh then he looked at Koushiro "Hey Koushiro how do you know about this?"
By this time even Tai and Ken kept silent and were waiting for an explanation coming from Koushiro. Soon he gave them an answer "It's quite simple really, the man that you talked to was correct, there were simple rumors of her returning soon. But I didn't really think it was true. Although if you think about it please recall the conversation that we had with T.K. He himself said that the Princess would be returning so I didn't find the rumors that much of a shock anymore."
"I didn't know about that…" said Sora
"Well when we talked to T.K about it you and Yama had your own little conversation outside remember?" said Kari
"He did mention something like that to me though…" stated Sora
"Like what?" asked Tai
"He said that Cassandra would be coming back to the kingdom for the whole arranged marriage thing that his parents set up for him." As Sora said this she recalled Yamato also stating the he didn't like the idea of being forced to marry so she added "He also didn't seem to like the thought of it though…"
"Now that you mention it…T.K told us the same thing. He said that his brother didn't even like Cassandra." Said Mimi
"Looks to me like Yamato's stuck in a rough spot here." Said Davis
"I agree, I mean it must e really hard for him. If he doesn't want to do this then I don't think it's right to force him to." Said Cody as he realized even more how hard it must be like for Yamato and Takeru
"Guys lets not dwell on all this here. Just be alert all we got is that she might return either tonight or tomorrow morning." Said Ken
"Great, can't she just leave us alone." Said Davis
"That's going to be pretty hard Davis, considering the fact that is ever she does get married to Yamato she's going to end up being our queen." Said Yolei and none of them really liked the thought of that happening.
"Dude, Yamato has to be out of his mind to marry her. Didn't he tell Sor that he didn't even like her? Then how could he stand to possibly marry her?" asked Davis looking at the others
"That's not the issue here Davis, remember what T.K said? The things that they do were usually decided for them and they have no other choice but to comply." Said Koushiro. Now their little conversation with T.K was becoming clearer and was making more sense.
"Meaning that right now…Yamato doesn't quite have much of a choice right?" asked Sora. In reality, now that they were talking about the wedding with Cassandra it was making her feel more uncomfortable. She didn't like the idea of forcing Yamato to marry and she had a feeling that if it were to happen something inside of her will tear her apart. These feelings that she didn't quite understand at first were becoming clearer and clearer to her now. She still fails to notice some things about it but she was sure of one thing, none of the things that might happen are making her or any of the others happy.
Tai noticed the look on Sora's face and he took it as some kind of sign. He looked at the others and spoke "Listen you guys, why don't you go on ahead. I'd like to have some time alone with Sor."
The rest didn't need to be told twice. They knew that I there was someone that could se through Sora it could only be Tai. So they all left leaving Sora and tai all on their own but before they left Mimi approached Tai and whispered something in his ear.
"Snap some sense into her Tai, or at least get her to realize something." Said Mimi
Tai laughed a bit and replied "Don't worry Meems I think that she's getting to put the pieces together all on her own now. She doesn't need more than just a little push, you know that Sor isn't that dense and blunt she must've figured things out by now she doesn't know how to work on it from there. I'll try to see what I can do alright."
"Alright if there's anyone here that can get her to talk it might as well be you Tai." Said Mimi with a laugh as she waved to Tai and left
Sora noticed her friends leaving and looked at Tai and asked "What's all this about?"
"Nothing much…come on Sor, sit here with me will ya" said Tai as he sat on the grass
"Alright." Sora sat beside Tai and looked at him "What's up Tai? We never had some alone time anymore. It's been a long time since we spent some time together."
"Yeah I know. I just wanted to talk to you about something." Said Tai as he looked at Sora and spoke "Listen Sor I've known you since we were little kids, we're practically siblings here. You know that you can't hide anything from me without me finding out, that's how I know that something's bothering you."
"Well then…I guess you already know what's bothering me too huh…" said Sora with a sad smile
"Yeah…nice guess. Sor if you like him go for it you know, there isn't anything wrong about that. You've got nothing to loose." Said Tai getting directly to the point.
"Funny, you know I never expected to end up feeling this way towards someone I just met." Said Sora
"Alright, so you like the guy and you just met, but you can't deny that you spend time together a lot and you also can't deny that you like spending time with him right. There's nothing wrong about that Sor." Tai looked at Sora and continued "What's important is the fact that there's something there and that you know how you feel, it's your feelings Sor and not anyone else's."
"I know that Tai and I know I'm being foolish and blunt if I deny the fact, but still Tai…we're worlds apart and how would you know that he feels the same way. Tai even I'm not so sure about how I feel." Said Sora
"Alright you have a point there, then let's give it some time. Time for you to finalize or conclude how you really feel for him, I wont make any assumptions yet since you're not sure about it either….I just have one piece of advice for you." Said Tai
"And what would that be?" asked Sora looking at her best friend
"Well you said it yourself it could still happen between you and him so…if something does turn up just follow your heart Sor and you know that you'll get there. Forget about social stats or whatever it is that other people might say just be you and don't try to change yourself for others. And if you're wondering if he feels the same way you'll find out in time don't rush it, but you know from the looks of it his feelings seem to be pretty obvious. Haha just kidding, anyway just remember that whatever happens follow your heart and know that we'll always be there whenever you need to talk or anything. When you find that someone don't let him slip Sor or you'll end up regretting it sooner or later." Tai's talk made Sora speechless, one when did he get so smart all of a sudden? And so emotional at that?
"Speechless from my speech?" teased Tai looking at his best friend who was still a bit shocked
Sora soon ended up with a sweet comforting smile on her face "You know Tai thanks a lot the talk thing helped and for once you're starting to give pretty good advice."
"Yeah I know I mean giving good advice is usually your thing not mine, I guess I learned from the best huh." Said Tai
Sora went over to Tai and gave him a big hug "Thanks a lot Tai…hey tell me, when did you get so smart?" she asked teasingly
"Ha! It's me we're talking about remember?" said Tai as he returned the hug then he said "But I meant what I said Sor, times change and you never know what could turn up in the next minute. Time is precious so don't waste it or you're going to regret it that's for sure."
"Yeah I'll keep that in mind thanks, now what do you say we head back home, it's getting pretty dark out here don't you think." Advised Sora as they broke away from the hug
"Yeah no arguments there come on lets head back I'll stop you over at your place." And so Tai and Sora got up and they went home. Lot's of thoughts were still running through her head, but with the heart to heart talk Sora had with Tai it made her feel a whole lot better and it also made her think unto things in a deeper manner, hoping that soon things would reveal itself in the right time.
End of Flashback
The following morning back at the palace things were going on as it always did, but now they were doing a lot of arrangements and planning for the wedding. Yamato who had absolutely no interest in doing so since he didn't even want to get married wished something would save him from this nightmare, unfortunately not even Jou could save him now. His father already warned him beforehand that today was one of the days that he couldn't leave the palace, so he was stuck here weather he liked it or not.
Takeru was on his own and was at the palace gates waiting for Jou to arrive, he didn't want the princess finding out where he was heading so he wanted to leave as soon as he could. He felt bad that Yamato had to stay in the palace but he himself couldn't do a thing about it. "I have to talk to the others about this and get some help, if I don't then I can expect a sister in law in a month and Yamato being married by then." Thought Takeru
As he was thinking Jou was already approaching the castle, but before he could get there Takeru beat him to it. Takeru told Nicholas to open the gates and he dashed out with Asellor out of the castle meeting with a very surprised Jou.
Jou looked at Takeru and asked "Hey what's the hurry?"
"I'll tell you later let's just go before someone else sees us." Said Takeru dashing farther away from the castle
Jou kept silent for a while and followed Takeru then once they were out of the castle's sight he asked "T.K what about your brother? Yamato isn't here yet we should have waited for him."
"Sorry Jou not this time." Replied Takeru
"What are you talking about?" asked Jou confused
"I'll tell you later, but right now we have to hurry and get to Tai's place I have to tell you guys something big and I doubt that you're going to like it." Said Takeru in a tone that Jou suspected to be either worried or depressed about something. He didn't wait to find out and they dashed over to Tai's place pronto.
Ken and Tai were serving some customers and the place was luckily a bit empty unlike yesterday. They were both working hard and doing their job until…
"Tai!" came T.K's sudden voice coming from outside the kitchen
Tai and Ken looked at each other before rushing out of the kitchen. They saw T.K there and they didn't like the look on his face at all "What's up T.K? Why the hurry?" asked Tai
"Please get the others, I have to speak with all of you here it's pretty urgent." The tone of Takeru's voice showed it all. It didn't take long for Ken to dash out of the restaurant, make a run for it, and call the others to Tai's place.
Tai and Takeru didn't have to wait long for the others to arrive and when they were all there Tai waited for the last of his remaining costumer to leave and close up for the day. It was still early for them to close but something inside of Tai told him that closing for a day wouldn't be as bad as what Takeru had to tell them.
All of them sat down on chairs and formed a circle then Tai asked "So what's this about T.K? Oh yeah, where's Yamato by the way?"
"Is he alright did something happen? He's not sick or anything is he?" asked Sora in a worried tone
"Yes and No, No he's not sick, but Yes something did happen. " Said Takeru
"What is it T.K?" asked Cody
"Princess Cassandra just arrived last night and now Yamato isn't allowed to go out of the castle today." Said Takeru
Their faces fell and Davis added "You have to be kidding me! She's back already?!?"
"So T.K what exactly happened, what's the reason why Yama can't come today?" asked Mimi who had a feeling that she wouldn't like the answer to her own question.
"Well…" Takeru started to tell them about what happened in full solid detail. Starting form their arrival at the castle down to the whole wedding issue. The gang just couldn't believe it. Takeru left out the part about Yamato talking about Sora though that was one thing he wanted to talk about with some specific people alone, but other than that he didn't leave out anything else.
"Is she serious?!? One month?!?" asked Davis in shock
"Seems to me like she really wants this wedding underway as soon as possible am I right T.K?" asked Koushiro looking at the blond boy
"Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. Yamato was really shocked too but he couldn't do anything about it. We tried to make it longer but it just didn't work, she said that she didn't want it to be too grand or it would cost a lot of money." Explained Takeru
"It would cost a lot of money? Yeah right she's just making up an excuse I mean she could afford anything she wanted anyone could see that. She just wants to marry him as soon as she can." Said Davis
"Why though…." Said Tai in deep thought
"Why? What do you mean why?" asked Davis looking at Tai
"I mean why hurry with the wedding? She wouldn't become queen directly after the wedding would she so why hurry it up?" asked Tai looking at either Koushiro or Ken for answers
"Well I don't think she has a bigger motive, but I think she really just wants to make sure that she becomes his wife you know. I mean even though she won't directly be queen she's already going to be the heir to the throne so she'll have power at least bigger than before." Stated Ken
"Yeah, but T.K isn't this kingdom your family's then shouldn't your big bother be the one to decide on the wedding and everything I mean this is his home land not hers." Asked Kari
"Well I guess but both parties already agree on the wedding, no oe opposes to it so none of us can do anything." Said Takeru
"I don't like where this is going. We need to talk to Yamato directly about this, it's his life on the line." Said Yolei
"What if we help him get out of it then?" suggested Davis
"Sure but how? Remember that we're up against the royal family here and they all see Cassandra as a fitting and loving princess it's going to be too hard especially given the span of a month." Said Mimi
"True Mimi but it's not impossible." Said Koushiro
"Oh? And how is that Koushiro any bright ideas?" asked Mimi
"Well you said it yourself, everyone in the royal family except for Yamato and T.K think that she's perfectly nice, kind and loving to the kingdom right?" asked Koushiro
"Yeah so what's your point?" asked Davis
"Well what if we could prove that she isn't all that nice after all and that no one would benefit from having her as queen, maybe we could get them to change their minds." Suggested Koushiro
"That would be easier said than done." Said Tai "Besides we aren't in any good position to do any of that it is possible but we still have to think it through. This is all Yamato's call here he has to think of a way to show that to his parents or at least have a good old family chat without Cassandra there to interfere."
"That's no easy task either Tai I mean she's going to be here till the wedding remember? She's bound to tail him everywhere." Said Mimi
Sora was silent and couldn't say a word she was getting confused and worried at the same time. Tai saw this and said "Don't worry Sor we don't like this situation more than you do, we'll try to get him out of it alright."
"Tai we have to communicate with him somehow." Said Sora finally speaking
"That's a start, we could ask him stuff about the current situation and how far they've gone with the wedding preparations." Said Ken
"No don't ask about the wedding directly, it could be trouble if Cassandra or anyone else gets to read it." Suggested Tai "We have to think of a foolproof way to solve this, hey T.K is Yamato banned to leave the castle till the wedding?"
"I don't think so father never mentioned anything like that. He did mention a ball though." Said Takeru
"A ball…you mean the one when they announce the whole engagement thing right?" asked Jou
"Yup, that's the one. I think it would happen in a few days within this week." Said Takeru
"Alright then we can talk to him about it when he gets out of the castle which would hopefully be any time soon." Said Tai
"Don't worry you guys I'll make sure to get you invitations. I am still a prince and well I don't think they'd mind if I said that my friend would be attending and lets not forget Jou's ties with my family too." Said Takeru with a smile
"Then let's hope we think of something soon." Said Tai as he was saying this Sora took a paper and a pencil from her stuff and started writing something down
Their talk went on and on but it soon stopped they knew that there wasn't a major threat yet and Yamato had to do something first before they could. So Tai and Ken went back to work and re-opened the restaurant since it was still pretty early, meanwhile Takeru told Tai that he was taking Kari to the meadows and Tai surprisingly didn't object.
The two were alone in the meadows talking and laughing and just enjoying each others company.
"It's nice that Tai allowed me to go with you T.K." said Kari with a smile
"Hmm….yeah I'm happy about that too I thought he would throw a fit or something. I still respect Tai's decisions that's why I asked him if it was alright." Said Takeru
"That's nice of you. A lot of people don't get Tai but I get why he acts the way he does he just wants to protect me and that's how he shows that he loves me." Said Kari then she adds "So even though Tai's like that he still makes me really happy."
"Yeah he's a nice brother. Kari if you don't mind me asking…you are happy here right?" asked Takeru
"Of course I am! There are lot's of good people here. There's Tai he makes me happy all the time. All my fiends, Sora and the others they make me happy too there really isn't anything I should ask for anymore. And you know what T.K?" asked Kari
"Yeah? What is it?" asked Takeru
"You and your brother always visit here and I'm glad I met you because you know…you make me happy too." Said Kari looking at Takeru with a shy but happy smile
Takeru's face suddenly turned red and he turned his head to the opposite direction and said "T-thanks Kari, I'm glad I met you guys too. Especially you Kari you make me very happy just seeing you smile. You're a really great person Kari do you know that?" asked Takeru sweetly
"..Um…thank you very much T.K." said Kari, she knew that her face was heating up "I'll keep smiling then."
"That would make me really happy thanks." Said T.K
"I hope that we can help your brother out of the tough spot that he's in." said Kari
"Yeah, Yamato still deserves to be happy even if he's to crowned king." Said Takeru
"I bet you're pretty happy that you aren't being forced to marry." Said Kari looking at Takeru
"Well yeah I guess, I just hope that they aren't going to tell me that I have to marry a princess. I want to be able to be with someone I love weather the person is a princess or not." Said Takeru
"I'm sure everyone would want that Takeru, anyway about your brother does he…you know like Sor?" asked Kari
"Well he does talk about her a lot lately, I think he does he just doesn't want to admit it yet. What about her?" asked Takeru
"Oh, well Sor is still pretty confused but I'm sure she'll figure it out she had a talk with tai last night and Tai said it all went well. I hope the two of them find their happiness." Said Kari
"Yeah it won't be easy not with Princess Cassandra and the whole marriage thing along the way." Said Takeru with a sigh
"Don't worry I'm sure that they'll find a way to make it through, and besides we'll all be here to help them right." Said Kari
"Yeah you're right." Said Takeru then he got up and said "I better get you back to Tai's place before he goes looking for you." He reached out one of his hands and helped Kari get up, then Kari didn't let go of Takeru's hand. Hand I hand the two of them walked back to Tai's restaurant.
When they got back it didn't take long until the bell rang and soon Takeru had to leave. Tai looked at the blond and said "You and Jou be careful alright, and tell Yamato we all said Hi!"
"No problem Tai, I'll do just that. Oh and thanks for everything I'll bring him here as soon as he gets out of the castle alright." Said Takeru
"Sure and tell him that he's wanted here. Haha, don't worry we'll do whatever we can to get him out of there." Said Tai "Let's not forget that we have Ken and Koushiro to do most of the thinking." Joked Tai
"You'll have to think of something too Tai." Said Koushiro
"Anyway see you guys soon alright." Said Takeru but before he could leave Sora spoke
"T.K can you please give this to Yama when you get home." Asked Sora as she handed Takeru an envelope
"Yeah sure no problem, should I tell him that it's from you?" asked Takeru
"Well sure, either way don't worry he'll know that it's from me." Said Sora with a smile then she said "Thanks again T.K take care and be careful on your way back, we hope to see you back here again."
Soon Takeru left and the others watched as soon even his shadow could no longer be seen. They hoped that as friends and as a group they could resolve this problem and help Yamato out, but they knew Tai had a point Yamato has to make the first move here at least have a chat with one of his parents or better yet both.
Takeru returned to the castle and he was in a hurry to get to Yamato and give him Sora's letter. He also hoped that he was alone. On his way to Yamato's room he and Princess Cassandra met bumped into each other and she smiled at him and said
"Hello there Takeru what's the hurry?" asked Cassandra
"Oh…um I wanted to know where my big brother was." He stated
"Oh he's in his room, we've finished some plans for today and he seems to be exhausted, so I hope that you let him rest for tonight." Said Cassandra then she asked "By the way Takeru where have you been? I haven't seen you for the whole day?"
Takeru didn't know ho to respond for a moment he kept silent he didn't want her to know that he went to the village with Jou and remembering what tai told him she didn't want him to know about them either so he simply stated "Oh nothing much I just simply went out on a daily stroll outside with my friend Jou Kido."
"A stroll outside the castle? Isn't that dangerous especially for a prince like yourself." Said Cassandra sounding concerned but Takeru could tell that she just wanted to know where he was for an entire day
"Yes well, mother and father said that it was alright and besides Jou's there so I'll be fine." Said Takeru
"Oh yes the doctor I've heard quite a lot about him…alright then Takeru you may go thank you for giving up some of your time to talk to me I really appreciate it." Said Cassandra with another smile
"No problem, please do excuse me." Said Takeru as he bowed and left for his brothers bed room.
As Takeru left Cassandra had only one thought "He's hiding something, I know he is. I have to find out then soon I'll settle things with that boy two months ago…" and she walked away
Takeru entered Yamato's room and he saw his brother lying on the bed and said "Hey big brother."
"Hey Takeru you're back. How was your day? Better than mine I hope." Said Yamato
"Yeah it was pretty great…I got to spend some time with Kari…" said Takeru
"Ah good, did you finally tell her how you feel?" asked Yamato getting up and sitting down and looked at his brother with a grin
"N-no of course not…a-anyway how was your day?" asked Takeru although he knew what was coming
"Horrible! That's the only word I could think of! I can't take this anymore." Said Yamato "You're pretty lucky you aren't in my shoes. This day keeps getting worse for me."
"Well there might be something that might make you feel better." Said Takeru smiling at his brother
"Yeah and what might that possibly be?" asked Yamato with a questioning look on his face.
"This." Said Takeru as he handed his brother the envelope that came from Sora
"An envelope? Who's it fro and what's in it?" asked Yamato taking the envelope from Takeru's hand
"I won't tell you who it's from you have to find out and I don't know what's inside I was just told to give it to you." Explained Takeru
Yamato was still confused but he opened it anyway. Inside the envelope he found a letter addressed to him. It read…
Dear Yama,
Hello Yamato, how are you? Takeru told us why you couldn't come over today and don't worry about it we all understand. He also told us a brief background on the current situation. I hope that you get to come over real soon we had a little talk over here today and well whenever you need any help always know that we'll be there for you. I hope that you really aren't sick or anything, I was worried about you for a sec when T.K said something was wrong I thought something happened to you. Anyway if ever you need some help you could always ask us for it, we'll be glad to help you out. I really do hope that you'll come back soon we missed you out here today and it's more fun when we're all here together. Take care of yourself and I hope you don't stress out because of things that are happening. Just continue to be yourself and Tai's advising you to talk to your parents about it if ever it helps, we'll try to think of something too. Take care always and be careful. Know that we're here for you and if you want to talk or anything you can always write back. I'll be happy to listen to whatever it is you have or want to say and maybe I can help you out. I also hope that this letter helps you cheer up. Well I hope to see you soon I hope you have a good nights rest tonight, bye.
~Sora~
Yamato closed the letter and his face now had a warm smile and his blue eyes softened, knowing that Sora wrote to see how he was doing made him feel happy and a whole lot better at that. Takeru noticed that look I his brother's face then he smiled.
"So you finally found out who wrote it?" asked Takeru
"Yeah, don't worry if I still can't leave tomorrow I'll write back." Said Yamato
"She was really worried about you." Said Takeru looking at his brother then "So big brother I was just wondering when's the ball going to take place?" he asked
"I think it's in a few days why?" asked Yamato as he hid the letter inside one of the drawers beside his bed and covered in under a book.
"Well I was planning on giving our friends an invitation." Said Takeru
"Hmm…that's not a bad idea Takeru." Said Yamato
"Yeah, lets hope that father will allow it." Said Takeru
"I think you should ask mother instead there's a bigger chance of her saying yes." Said Yamato "You know she said that she wanted to talk to me if I had the time."
"Maybe she just ha something to tell you. Go for it you never know she might be able to help." Said Takeru looking at his brother
"Yeah maybe…" said Yamato recalling that Sora mentioned him doing the same thing in the letter she sent him "I guess I'll give it a shot and see where it gets me."
"Anyway I'll leave you now big brother, you might have a long day tomorrow you're going to need the rest." Said Takeru as he went towards the door
"Yeah I might, thanks a lot Takeru for delivering the letter to me an for the nice talk." Said Yamato smiling at his younger brother
"No problem aren't we always like this. Anyway see you around big brother." As Takeru left Yamato was left with his own thoughts before he drifted to sleep
"….Thank you for worrying about me Sora…I hope that you're alright…I'll find a way back there and hopefully a way out of this absurd wedding arrangement…*sigh* I miss you guys a lot…especially you…Sora…" and with that he drifted to a sweet slumber
