The Talk, Eating Out & Surprising Info

I stayed in my room most of the time, for some reason I didn't want to go out. School would start again tomorrow and that would mark another end of the weekend. I sighed at that thought. I knew I couldn't avoid Yama forever, we were going to see each other eventually, then what?

Truth is, I don't really know why I've been avoiding him now. So, I've said some things that just happened to slip out from my mouth without me thinking, that was fine with me, but what would he think of it? Why did it even matter to me what he thought? That I didn't know and I actually don't want to find out.

"Maybe Meems is right? Am I actually falling for him? It's only been weeks long!" I struggled with my thoughts on my own inside my room when I heard a light knock on the door. A normal person would miss that, but how could I when all I did was think all day?

I got to the door and opened it. There, standing right in front of me was Yama himself. "Oh….um…hi?" I greeted him

"Hey Sora…." He replied. He seemed as nervous as I was.

"Yes? Is there something you needed?" I asked

"Can we…can we talk?" he asked

"Okay…." I told him "Come on in."

He and I walked inside my room and then I gestured for him to sit down on the chair right beside the bed. I sat on another chair and asked "So…is there something wrong?"

"Listen Sora, about what happened last night…" he started

"I know, listen…that was my fault." I told him

"What?" he asked me surprised

"I know what I said, and I'm sorry if I surprised you or anything but I really didn't think that…." I never got to finish before he cut me off

"Sora, why are you apologizing to me?" Yama asked me again

"But I thought…?" Again, I wasn't able to finish

"You didn't do anything wrong. You don't even have to apologize." Said Yama with a smile

"Then why?" I asked him

"I'm the one who's supposed to apologize, you know, for ignoring you and everything." Said Yama

"He's the one ignoring me?!? Oh you have got to be kidding!!" I slapped my head mentally at the thought. How could he have been the one ignoring me when I was the one ignoring him?

"It's not like I wanted to. I just had tons of things to think about." He continued and I just let him talk

"Yama…" I started to interrupt

"Yes?" he asked

"I think you're confused." I told him

"Why would I be?" he asked

"I didn't even think you were ignoring me. It was more like…the other way around.." I told him

"The other way around how?" he asked and he still sounded confused

"I was the one ignoring you, for the very least." I paused then continued "Same reason as you. That's why I was in my room all day."

"So that's why you never came to meet up with us?" he asked

"Yup, that's about it." I replied with a sigh

"Did I do something wrong though?" he asked

"No it's not you, honest, you did absolutely nothing wrong." I told him

"???" he stared at me confused

"I just…I had a lot of things in my mind too, and I had a talk with Meems to top it off." I told him honestly

"That makes two of us then. Instead of Mimi though, I had my talk with the guys, Tai included." He told me

"Did he actually say anything seriously?" I asked in a joking manner

He seemed to have taken that well, he laughed a bit and replied "Yes, he did. He helped a lot actually."

"That's good." I replied with a smile. The good thing here was that the mood was getting less awkward.

"So, why were you ignoring me?" I asked him

"Well, I had to think about a lot of things and I…didn't want to bother you about it." He told me

A part of me, I don't really know how big, could tell he wasn't telling me everything. I decided to just leave it be and go on with the conversation. "You were able to talk to the others about it though?" I asked

"Yes, I was." He replied

"And? How did that go?" I asked again

"It went well, they were able to give me a piece of advice actually." He told me with a sigh

"That's nice…." I replied

"You can tell can't you?" he asked me

I stared at him for a second and spoke "Tell what?"

"If a person is hiding something from you." I nodded at his statement

"Yes, I kind of can. Tai and the others rarely hide anything." I replied

"Then….do you know what it is a person is hiding from you?" he asked and of course, I shook my head

"No, of course not. I'm not psychic, I can't read minds and just figure things out. I'll only know when that person tells me what it is." I told him

"I see…." He told me "Then you should already know…that I'm not necessarily telling you everything…"

"Kind of. Just a wild guess though." I replied. I was kind of shocked that he brought this up though.

"That's not new, you figured it out last night too. It's kind of hard to lie around you that way." He told me

"Hm I guess so." I replied

"Do the others even try?" he asked me "To lie to you I mean."

"That depends. I can tell if they're hiding something, but I can't tell all the time. If they lie about things like surprises and stuff like that then no I can't tell, they play things out nicely." I explained "I can tell if they have problems though."

"So, you know when someone is emotionally down?" he asked

"Yes, it's kind of obvious to me. Something my inside tells me about." I replied

"Okay…" he stated

"So, what's this all about really?" I asked him "I wont force you to tell me what's going on, but is something bothering you again?"

"Kind of, but this time, it has nothing to do with my dad." He told me silently

"Nothing to do with your dad?" I asked again

"Yeah, he's completely out of this one." Said Yama

"Physical problem then?" I asked

"No, nothing along those lines either Sora." He said with a laugh "Are you trying to guess?"

"Yes, because you're making me curious. Do you want me to know about this?" I asked I wouldn't be guessing if he didn't want me t find out.

"That's just another thing to my dilemma." He stated

"You don't want to talk about it? If it makes you feel awkward then I don't mind. This could be a guy thing." I said

"No it's not that I don't want to tell you. I just don't know how to." He stated again

This shocked me for a moment. What was he supposed to say? "Wait, this has something to do with me?" I asked

"Well, a little bit." He replied. My gut feeling started acting up again, what else was he hiding?

"Id this a good thing or a bad thing?" I asked

"A bit in the middle." He replied

"Can you please explain or elaborate on that?" I asked him

"Well, it's not really a bad thing, at least I don't think so. It's just that, I have no idea how you're going to react to it to begin with." Said Yama

"So, you're playing it safe then?" I asked and he nodded

"You can say that, playing it safe would be another term. I don't think you'll be mad but I just don't know how to tell you yet." He told me

"Oh….well, as long as it's not a bad thing, then I guess I don't mind." I told him. At least I knew he didn't hate me or anything like that.

"Thanks…and I was wondering…" he stared

"Hm?" I asked him

"If we could talk again? This whole ignoring thing really isn't working, for me that is." He spoke

I laughed a bit at that one and replied "Sure thing Yama, we can talk. We're pretty much talking now aren't we?"

He laughed too "Yeah I guess we are."

I ceased my laughter and spoke again "I was relieved you came."

"Oh? Why is that?" he asked me

"It's kind of lonely alone in a room, but I didn't know when I'd have the guts to actually go to your room and talk things out the way you did." I replied

"Well, I guess I saved you the trouble in doing that didn't I?" he asked with a small smirk

"Yeah, I guess you just did." I replied with a smile too.

"One last thing for now." He added

"Which would possibly be, what exactly?" I asked

"Do you want to go with us? We're having a late lunch today. It's about 2pm so if you don't mind you can come too. Have you eaten yet?" he asked

"No, I haven't actually. I've been in here since I woke up." I told him

"You weren't doing anything harsh were you?" asked Yama

"No I wasn't. Just thinking things to myself." I replied "I was never that desperate."

"I know, just making sure though." He told me with another smile "So you'll come with us? It beats staying here all day."

"I know, I'll go with you guys then, that is, if no one minds." I replied

"Sure thing, I was the one that asked. The guys are totally okay with it, and Tai would be happy seeing you out of your room for the day." Said Yama

"Okay, I'll go. Can you wait while I get some of my stuff first?" I asked

"Sure thing." He told me "Take your time."

"I'd rather not. I've been here all day, being outside would be a change now." I said

"Would it have been better for you if I said something along the lines of; make it quick?" he asked teasingly

"Yes, that would be much better." I replied in the same teasing tone

He waited for me and when I got everything done, both of us walked out the room and headed for his. He said that the other guys were waiting for us there. When we got to his dorm room, he was right, they were all there waiting.

"Look who's back. How did it go Yamato?" asked Takashi who was watching television.

"From the looks of it, things went well." Said Akira as he gave me a smile

"Hey Sor, finally out of your room eh?" asked Tai

"Yes Tai, and how did you know I was in my room the whole time?" I asked him

"Lucky guess. You can be pretty predictable you know." He told me with a smirk

"Speak for yourself Tai." I replied

"Anyway, we should get going." Said Takashi getting up from his seat

"You're just hungry." Teased Yamato

"Yes Yamato, yes I am. Now can we go?" he asked again

"Alright let's go already." Said Yamato as the others got up from their seats and walked out the door.

All of us were out of the building in a matter of minutes and we used Yama's car as a mode of transportation…again. While we were inside I decided to ask "Are you the only one that has a car?"

"Nope, the others have one too. Why?" he asked me and turned to face me

"First, kindly keep your eyes on the rode mister." I told him

"Oh, sorry about that." He faced front again and I heard the others laugh a bit

"She's right man, I don't have my life insurance yet." Said Takashi

"I still want to grow up Yamato." Said Yutaka

"Okay, I get it already. No one wants to die." He told them

"Of course we don't." said Akira

"What was your question again?" he asked me

"Well, if the others have a car, then why do they always use yours to drive around most of the time?" I asked. Their rich and famous, of course they have a car.

"That's simple. They're all freakishly lazy." He told me

"True, Yamato here saves us the trouble of driving." Said Takashi

"Speak for yourself man, your license got confiscated remember?" asked Yutaka teasingly

"Confiscated?" I asked "By who? The police?"

"No, he got his confiscated by the school principal." Said Yutaka with a laugh

"Eh? How?" how can a principle take a student's license in the first place?

"He bumped one of the cars in the parking lot at school, Takashi here couldn't pay for it. So he got his license cut of from him for a whole semester instead." Said Yutaka

"It was either that or he had to get a part time job to pay for it, so he took the deal." Said Akira

"That's something new." I told them

"Well, he was lucky enough to have gotten this than paying for it, it was too expensive." Said Tai

"I couldn't afford it, it's just one semester anyway." Said Takashi with a shrug

"As for me, I seriously don't have a car. You should know Sor." Said Tai

"I could tell that much. None of us has one remember. Well except for Meems when she got that car as a present from her dad but she doesn't even use it yet." I told him

"I don't have a car either Sora." Said Akira

"Eh? I thought you all did?" I asked a bit in shock

"I usually just walk to places near here. I don't really need a car as bad anyway." He told me

"Conserving money?" I asked
"Kind of." He told me with a light laugh "Weird isn't it, for someone in a band."

"It's new but not really weird." I told him

I saw Yamato glance at Akira and I figured something was up, but I didn't know what. Soon, before anything went on, we got to our destination. It was the café that Yama had taken me the last time and it was almost just as empty as before. Figures why they'd want to go here.

We entered the café and took our seats at a table. I the noticed something or rather someone missing. I couldn't believe I missed something so obvious. I turned to the guys right after we placed our orders and asked.

"Guys, just checking, where's T.K?" I asked

"Oh, he's going to catch up with us here later." Said Yutaka

"He went to pick up Kari." Replied Tai

"Really?" I asked in shock "That's nice, they're getting along nicely."

"Davis doesn't like it though, he was pretty pissed off earlier." Said Tai

"And how did you know something like that?" I asked him

"Her called me and said something about T.K coming over to take Kari somewhere." He replied plainly

"Looks and sounds just like the same old Davis. He's still not giving up on her." I told Tai

"Sure looks that way." He replied

"So I didn't get to ask you guys, I know it's been a while, but aside form Yama, you guys didn't tell me where you live out from the dorm." I told them

"Oh that, I live originally in Japan. That's until my parents moved here about 10 years ago. I've been here long. They're in another city though." Said Takashi

"I've been here for less than 10 years, more than Tai has though. My parents house is much farther than Yamato's." said Yutaka

"What about you Akira?" I asked

Everyone was silent after that. I didn't know why, but I had a bad feeling about this. "Um…it's okay you don't have t answer that…"

"No it's fine." He told me with a smile. He turned to face the others for a while and spoke "Come on you guys, it's no big deal."

"Akira?" I asked

"You see, I live with my aunt and uncle. Just a few blocks from Yamato's house." He told me

"What about your parents?" I asked, again I wished I didn't because things started to get much more awkward.

"My parents, no one's asked me about them in a while." He stated

"…" I stayed silent and waited for him to continue

"They died in an accident years ago. I hardly remember their faces anymore. It's been quite a long time." Said Akira

My eyes widened in shock as he said this "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to have brought it back."

"No need to apologize. I don't mind it at all." Said Akira giving me a smile

"…" I stayed silent. I never knew, it was like what happened to my dad. He passed away when I was just a child and it was also because of an accident.

As if Tai read my mind he spoke "Sor should understand how you feel. Her dad passes away too."

"Oh?" asked Akira

"Yeah, he got into an accident as well. I was still very young then, I didn't quite understand at first." I told him

"I know the feeling. Things just become much clearer once your getting older." He told me

This was starting to get much more interesting by the minute. I never knew that one of them would have experienced a similar incident like I did. I looked over at Akira and he seemed as happy now as any normal person.

"Say, if you guys think about it, schools coming up tomorrow again eh?" said Takashi

"Yeah, man we'll have another long week." Said Yutaka as he sighed

"I don't think it'll be that bad though…we have to set up and everything remember?" asked Tai

"Set up for what?" I asked

"Oh yeah, you're new here." Said Takashi

"It's for this year's school fair." Said Yama "We do it every year."

"The students from the high school department are in charge of setting it up." Said Akira

"Yup, the juniors and the seniors usually do most of the hard work." Said Tai

"That means us and our higher batch." Said Takashi

"It's like doing school work, nut you have more fun with it." Said Yama with a smile

"So, do we go in on weekends to set it up?" I asked

"Nope, we never do that." Said Takashi with a laugh "That's what I like about the school fair, we do it on weekdays."

"All the classes get cut short for a whole week. Just to finish the set-ups for the fair." Said Tai

"Seriously?" I asked shocked. They allotted this much time for a fair?

"Yeah, you see this is a part of school tradition." Said Yama

"It's kind of normal for us already, we've been here long enough." Said Yutaka

"Students get set up into groups along with the Freshmen and the Sophomores in school. Each group is assigned one different event to handle." Said Tai

"Oh, so we get mixed with the other batches right?" I asked

"Yup, the groups are usually decided through casting lots or by random pick." Said Akira

"Oh that means you guys can get separated too." I told them

Yama smirked and replied "Well…not likely."

"Not likely?" I asked

"Yes." Replied Yama

"What do you mean?" I asked again

"Don't count on it Sor. You see, ever since they became a band, a popular one at that, they're event is always centered in the field of music." Said Tai

"Yup, picking out tunes and stuff, and most of all playing during the first and last day of the fair." Said Takashi

"It's like opening and closing, you know?" said Yutaka

"You mean…you guys stay together…again?" I asked

The replies I got were:

"Yup."

"Kind of."

"Yeah."

"Most likely."

I sighed "Do you guys ever get separated in anything?" I asked with a slight laugh

"That rarely happens, if you disregard our schedules, it's almost never." Said Yutaka

"Wow, talk about close." I told them

As we were eating, we suddenly heard someone come closer to us. I looked up to see T.K there with Kari beside him and I smiled. "Hey you two? Have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah, Jou offered for T.K to stay and eat at his place before we came here." Said Kari as T.K pulled a chair for her

"Thanks T.K." she told him with a smile
"My pleasure." He replied and smiled back

"Aww how sweet. What a gentleman you are now T.K." said Takashi

"Since when were you like this?" asked Yama as they began to tease T.K.

"Haven't I always been?" asked T.K teasing back

"Looks like the little brother just scored!" said Takashi and we all burst out laughing

"So? What did we miss? Anything important?" asked T.K

"Nothing much, we were just talking about the upcoming school fair this year." Said Akira

"Oh yeah, the fair's coming up." Said T.K "Looks like you;ve got a lot of practicing to do big bro." he told Yama

"That's true, but they'll cut the classes short anyway." Said Yama

"It wont be much of a problem as long as we straighten out the complications." Said Yutaka

"Hey, why don't you ask Mimi and the others to come to the fair too Kari?" asked T.K as he faced her

"Really?" she asked

"Yup, the fair is open to public. Of course there'll be a ticket price, but it's manageable." Said Takashi

"That's why we take a long time to prepare." Said Akira "The school earns a lot with the fair every year."

"They can't afford anything wrong happening." Said Tai

"Looks like an important event alright." I replied

"Yup, it's always open to the public, so Mimi and the others can come if they want." Said T.K

"That's a nice idea. I can tell them that, but when is it." Asked Kari

"It starts the week after we set everything up, it's for three consecutive days." Said Tai

"Sounds like fun. It's like going to another amusement park." Said Kari with a smile

"Sure is, the school spends quite a lot with it." Said Yutaka

We all continued to talk about stuff involving the school fair and then suddenly, my cell phone rang. I looked over at the caller I.D and it said "Meems".

"Hello?"

"Hi Sor!!!"

"Hey Meems what's up?"

"Nothing much, I was just wondering where you guys were."

"Eating a late lunch, Kari's here with us."

"I've heard. Davis's been throwing a tantrum. You don't know how bad it is."

"I can just imagine…so what's up?"

"So you guys want to come over? You know after your lunch?"

"Sure thing. But aren't you guys planning to go somewhere today? Shopping maybe?"

"Nah, no need for that. We'd rather spend time with you guys than shop."

"Haven't you been busy?"

"Nope, all I've done is spend time with Koushiro."

"How sweet."

"Thanks, but Davis and the others say it's getting boring here, so you guys have to come along."

"Hn okay, I'll ask Tai about it."

"Ask me about what?" Tai asked loudly

I ignored him for a while and replied to Meems. "Can we bring the rest of the guys along?"

"Sure thing, they're more than welcome here. T.K was just here a while ago."

"Yes, I've been told."

"He's such a nice kid Sor."

"Yes he is Meems. Did Davis show any sign of irritation while he was there?"

"Yeah, a lot actually, he was doing his best."

"That sounds like Davis alright."

"So? You'll come right?"

"Yup, we'll be there. We'll just finish up here and we'll go there as soon as we can."

"Thanks a lot Sor, Yolei and I are stuck with guys, so we need you and Kari right here with us."

"Looks to me like you're being tortured."

"Are you kidding me? All we've done was watch a bunch of movies; we've run through almost all of the stacks here."

"Sounds horrid."

"Oh it is Sor, it is."

"Haha anyway, I'll see you guys there soon."

"Looking forward to it. Please, as soon as you can okay?"

"As soon as we can."

"Thanks a lot, bye Sor."

"Bye Meems."

And that's about when I turned my phone shut from our conversation. I looked over at the guys who were almost done eating. Tai looked at me and asked "Mimi?"

"Yup that was her." I replied

"What'd she say?" asked Tai

"Nothing much, she wants us to come over to Jou's place after we're done here." I told him

"Why Sor? Did something happen?" asked Kari getting worried

"Nothing to worry about, they're just bored to death and need company." I replied

"Why not go somewhere then?" asked Yutaka

"They'd rather have us come there than go anywhere according to her." I told him

"Wow, you can feel the love." Said Takashi

"I'm not so sure we're going to be feeling any love when T.K goes there again with Kari." Said Yutaka

"That's just on Davis's account. He'll be fine." Said Tai with a grin

"You sure about that? Meems said he was having a breakdown. I don't know if she was exaggerating but it seemed all that possible." I told him.

"That's Davis alright." Said Tai

"Why is he so mad at Teeks anyway?" asked Yama "It's not like my brother committed a crime."

"It has nothing to do with that. We already told you didn't we? Davis liked Kari and that's that." Said Tai

"So he's mad because I've been spending time with you?" asked Davis looking at Kari

"Yes, that's most likely the reason behind it." Replied Kari

"Well, shall we get going?" I asked

"Sure thing, all we have to do now is pay." Said Akira

I started to bring out my wallet when Tai stopped me. "Hold it Sor, you can't pay for it this time."

"Why not?" I asked

"Because, you're with guys and we can't let you pay. You're our…guest." Said Tai

"Oh really?" I asked with a questioning tone

"Yup, that's why…Yamato will pay!" said Tai

"What?!?" asked Yama in shock

"Oh come on man, we're all short here." Said Takashi

"Please?" added Yutaka

In the end Yama kind of ha no other choice, so he paid for it anyway. I offered to lend some cash but he declined. It occurred to me that maybe the guys enjoy seeing Yama in his misery, in cases like this especially. Soon we all headed out to Jou's place. Besides, I needed to thank Meems for all her advice, if it wasn't for her, would I have had guts to talk to Yama?
