Authors Note: Hey everyone, I'm back. I've been gone for the longest time, really sorry. This is my last summer as a high school student and I'm entering college soon, so I'm spending time with friends as much as possible since most of them are either my age and we're going to different colleges or younger than me and we wont see each other so often cause of my sked.

Other than that, I will continue this story and I'll really give it my all not to take another 5 months even a month or so. I hope I can go back to my regular update basis. I'm really sorry. Thanks for everyone that takes the time to read this and I do hope that someone still does. Please Review and tell me what you think. : ) I'm open to suggestions :D. Now, enough of this. Please enjoy!

Finally!

My whole body was all jittery inside. It took me a while to get used to what was actually happening right now. Sad, it was like my whole body had shut down. When I felt hi pull away from me, I was both relived and disappointed. I was relieved because it wouldn't take long before I would be the one pushing him away, for various reasons in my head right now. But I was also disappointed, I guess that was to be expected. I mean, the guy I just confessed to love just kissed me! Which was some sort of miracle in my book.

Two things were in my head at the moment that he broke away "Blink and breathe, blink and breathe, blink and breathe…" and it went on for quite some time.

"Sora?" I finally heard his voice call my name.

Looking up, I see him just staring at me. "Oh…" I mutter, can I get any worse? He's probably waiting for some kind of answer, response, anything!

"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have done that…" Yamato told me, his expression going down the drain in an instant.

"No!" When that came out, I suddenly stopped and the tried as I might, to gain enough composure to talk again.

"Excuse me?" he asked a bit shocked, but I could feel a tint of happiness going back as he said it.

"I mean, it's fine. I'm…not…not really bothered by it." I said. My face was red and I was now looking at the floor. It seemed to be a better choice than looking at him and feeling so embarrassed right now.

I know I wasn't looking at him, but I could feel him smiling. "I'm glad then." He stated "That, it didn't offend you or anything like that."

"…" There was utter silence between the two of us and neither said anything.

"Yamato?" I called out in a low whisper.

"Hm?" he asked me.

"I…I'm sorry." I replied and I finally looked at him when I had a chance.

"For what?" he asked me a bit shocked. "You never did anything that you're supposed to be apologizing for you know."

I shook my head and stated "You know I did. I made everyone worry about me, and I made you go find me, all the way here."

"That wasn't a problem. I wanted to go look for you, and I was persistent, so it was never your fault." He protested.

I shook my head again. "If you think about it, it was."

Yamato let out a low chuckle. Even in moments like this, he knew I was still so persistent. "Alright, but you know what I mean. None of this was ever your fault, and no one's blaming you."

"…" Once again, there was silence. I knew that we were going to get there. That something that neither of us has been bringing up, had to come out some time. I didn't want to startle him with anything I said, but I can't beat around the bush forever.

"Sora." Before I could say anything, he beat me to it. "About what happened…why you ran away…was it because…you know?"

"I…" I didn't have a response to that either. I knew he was asking about what happened in the halls when I suddenly confessed that I liked him to thin air. Finally, after a while I said the first thing I could think of "It was, a form of release."

"What?" he asked as he looked at me confused.

"Meems told me that it would…in some way, make me feel better." I answered.

"Why? Did you feel bad?" Yamato asked.

"No, at least, not exactly. But, it never made me feel good either." I told him honestly. No use lying about it now.

"What did?" asked Yamato again. I'm leaving him hanging this way.

"I mean, keeping my feelings inside for that long…it didn't soothe me. And it wouldn't take long until I did something stupid." I replied with a sigh.

"Do you mean, your accident? The one where you got burnt?" asked Yamato and I nodded.

"H-How did you know about that?" I asked him. I don't remember telling him, so somebody must have.

He shrugged and then spoke "Well, Tai told me you had an accident, and he also told the others. Said that T.K and Kari accompanied you, and then you eventually went back to your dorm room."

"Oh…so, you went looking for me?" I asked.

"Yeah, I did. I went to your dorm but no one was there, and then when I found you, you were in the halls and well…" he suddenly came to a stop and scratched the back of his head. I saw a faint tint of pink in his cheeks and I found myself smiling a little.

"Then…you heard me…didn't you?" I asked and saw him nod in response. I sighed and then I asked again "How much…how much did you actually hear?" I knew the answer, I just wanted to hear it from him.

"Just about everything." Well, that was straight to the point, but what else did I expect? For him to beat around the bush? Not likely.

"I see…" I turned away from him, for fear, because of embarrassment, and just cause.

I heard him sigh again and then I felt him grab my hand. I stiffened at the contact for a moment and then felt myself relax. "Did you mean it?" he asked me.

"W-what?" I asked. I was still stunned by his question to respond properly.

"I heard what you said, but…did you really mean it?" he asked me. I could feel that a part of him doubted I meant it. No shock there, I mean, I never expected him to well…reciprocate my…feelings.

"I…" I didn't know whether to admit it, or deny it. Of course, the first option would be the reasonable one, but the pressure was killing me.

He sighed. "Just…" he paused for a bit and then added "Forget about it."

I blinked a few times and then all of a sudden, things just…came out. "I meant it."

He looked at me with that shocked face of his and was about to say something when I held a finger in front of him and silenced him. "No Yamato, you let me finish."

"O…kay?" he replied.

"No, you are not interrupting." I said in a "ordering" kind of way. "You asked, so you're going to let me answer until I'm done."

Yamato nodded and was a bit shocked, and trust me, if he was shocked, I was flabbergasted inside. "I meant it. Every word. It's just…" I stopped and breathed for a bit before continuing "This is going to be long. Somebody stop me…" but of course, no one did.

And so, it all went out. "Meems told me, she told me that it would help for me to…vent. That if ever I needed to let it all out I should. I never expected it to come out that way, more so for you to actually be there and hear. Anyway, it's just…even I didn't know, nor did I want to admit it. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused. I needed something, anything, and it just seemed impossible for you to…like me back. So before I decided to just give up on you and shut my feelings out for real, I wanted to do what Meems said, and just vent…" I breathed again and continued "Yamato, I came here to find Tai, my best friend, but falling in love with you was never in any of my plans!" I was panting a bit, and suddenly nothing would come out. I've done it now…

"…" There was silence and I was sure that this was a bad sign. He had every right to tell me that I was right, that he didn't like me back. I was waiting for it, and I even closed my eyes, not wanting to see the expression on his face.

"Sora…" he started…

"I know, I know. I'm sorry I even told you something like this, I didn't…I just didn't…I'm so sorry…" Great, now I was ranting. Just peachy.

I heard him chuckle and then, my eyes suddenly widen when I felt him kiss me softly. It was quick, but it made me feel all mushy inside again. I blinked when he broke the contact and then I started at him while waiting for an answer. "Why?" I asked.

Yamato gave me a soft smile and replied "Because you talk too much."

"Oh…" Yes, that was the best thing I could come up with at the moment. And then I felt my cheeks redden and my feet felt like jello…weird…see, I wasn't ready when he suddenly placed a hand and gently stroked my cheek and so I pulled back a bit from shock.

He just smiled and said "Sorry bout that."

"N-no…I didn't mean to, you know. I'm sorry." I told him. I was not, I repeat, not being myself at the moment.

"You know, I think you'd stop talking to me if I gave you some kind of cheesy comment about how cute you look when you turn red like that…" He stopped for a moment, and saw that I turned away before going on "So, I'll just keep quiet about it."

"Gee thanks…" I replied, my face still blushing. "Now he had it in him to tease…oh well" I knew this was going well, at least we were back to normal…I think.

"So…what happens now?" he asks me.

I sigh. "The dreaded question is here." I think to myself. "That depends." I start to say "You…haven't really given me an answer yet…"

I saw Yamato give me a confused look for a moment and then I turned away when I heard him give out a laugh. "It's not funny." I mutter.

"But Sora, I thought the answer was quite obvious." He told me knowingly.

"I can't just be sure of that." I replied "I'm new to all of this. So don't expect me to not expect an answer." I told him.

It was all true. I was new to all of this, and I wanted him to tell me where we were going with this, the most he could start with was an answer to my…statement.

"Sorry for laughing about it then…" he stated sincerely "I just didn't expect you to be that…traditional about things."

"It's nothing like that at all." I reply "I just…really want to hear you say something in turn. A reply, anything. I just wanted to hear you say…"

"I love you." My eyes widened. I looked at him and his now smiling face. Did he just say that? Great, now I'm spacing out again.

"W-what?" I asked him, still in shock. And my brain was still not functioning again.

"I said, I love you." He said with a light chuckle.

"A-are you serious?" I asked. Some part of me wanted to say "pinch me." And the other part thought this was some dream that I was about to wake up from.

"Why wouldn't I be?"Yamato asked with a shrug. "Did you think I was bluffing?"

"No. Well, not really?" Was he? He didn't sound like it. But…this just had to be some kind of…joke?

"Sora, I'm not kidding. You were the one who told me that you wanted some kind of answer right?" he replied "Then here it is."

"I know that…" I sighed.

"Then why do you seem to doubt me so much?" he asked me with a tint of hurt in his face. I didn't know if he was just pulling some strings or if he was seriously hurting.

"I'm…just not used to this sort of thing." He gave me a questioning look and I began to elaborate. "You know, the attention, pressure and all that what not."

"Oh." Yamato then smiled at me and replied "You don't have to feel that way. Never meant to make you feel uncomfortable, so I'm sorry if I did."

"It's not your fault." Looking at him again, he seemed to be waiting for something. "What is it?" I asked.

"Just waiting." He told me.

"For?" I wondered what it was.

"Your answer…" He stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world at the moment.

"My answer?" I asked.

"But of course." He said with a smile "I want to hear you say it too."

"But didn't I already?" I asked a bit confused. I just gave him one of the longest explanations I could just a few minutes ago.

"Nope. That was an explanation. What I want is a straight answer." Said Yamato "I gave you one didn't I?"

"Of course…" I muttered. "I…I love…you too…" I sighed. I can't say it straight like he does. This is all just so…weird for me. "No wonder Meems wants me in a relationship so bad. Am I that secluded?"

He chuckled a bit and then smiled "That's enough for me Sora. Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you, don't you know that?" I asked him. My face was still red and was not going back to its original color.

"I guess we both helped each other out, one way or another." He replied with a smile.

"So, does this mean…we're…um…" I didn't finish my question. I guess he knew that I was feeling kind of awkward about it.

"If you want us to be, then yes." Said Yamato with a smile.

"Oh…" I didn't know what else to say, so I just…nodded.

He smiled and then took my hand in his. I felt better, at least better than when I ran from everyone. I smiled at him too, going back to my normal self for now. "Let's get going." He told me as he looked out the window.

I followed his gaze and saw that the rain had stopped, and that it was getting pretty late. "It's stopped." I muttered and then I brushed one of my hands through his damp hair. It was still wet…

"Sorry about this." I tell him. "Now you're hair's a mess, and you're still wet."

"I'm used to it." Yamato tells me.

"Yeah sure, but you could get sick." I reply.

"I won't, and if I did, I would have you to be there and take care of me." He states with a grin.

I don't hold back the smile on my face "That I would do…"

"See? So it won't be so bad." He tells me again. He touches my other hand, the one he's not holding onto, and pulls it out of his hair. "It's fine Sora."
"I still feel a bit guilty about this." I answer honestly. "And everything's still so shocking." I suddenly give him a hug and smile when he hugs me back.

"You're going to get your clothes wet." He tells me "Even wetter than before." He's already hugged me when he found me here, so it's fine.

"It's alright. Can we stay like this…just for a while?" I ask. I wouldn't force him if he didn't want to.

He laughs lightly and answers "Sure, whatever you want. But you know, for someone who has never been involved in a relationship, you sure know how to act like it when you're in one."

"It's instinct." I reply as I laugh a bit too.

We stay like that for a few more minutes before I pull away and now have a big smile on my face. That; made me feel a whole lot better. "Thanks." I tell him.

"You're welcome. Come on Sora, it's getting rather late, I'll take you back." He tells me.

"Okay. The others must be worried. I have to apologize too." I say to him and he just nods in reply. "Do you think they'll be mad?"

"Tai would probably tell you a few things, but I doubt he can ever stay mad at you for long." Said Yamato "And don't worry about the rest. They'll do fine."

"I guess." I reply, still a bit uncertain.

He grips my hand a bit and gives me a reassuring smile "It's going to be fine, trust me."

I smile back, "Don't worry, I know."

"You don't mind walking do you?" he asks "I never got the chance to get the car. I was too preoccupied in looking for you." He tells me with a light laugh.

"No, I don't mind at all. Don't you?" I asked him. He's the one who's still wet isn't he?

"It's nothing, the dorm isn't that far from here, and I even got us a shortcut." He told me.

"Good for you then, let's just hope that you don't get sick." I stated. I noticed that even I was getting back to my normal self, which was a good thing, although this whole thing might still need a few more days of getting used to.

"I won't. I have a pretty strong immune system, believe it or not." I smile at him and look content.

"Come on Yamato, let's go." I tell him and the two of us walk out and make our way to the dorm.

The tension between us was subsiding. We weren't as chatty on our way back, but not that much needed to be said to begin with. I knew he was adjusting to this too, even if it was just a little bit. The shock that he felt that way about me was still wavering inside of me, but it made me feel better now.

It didn't take us that long to find our way back to the dorm either, even if we did do it on foot. It turns out he was right. Yamato's shortcut got us there a whole lot quicker than I expected. When we went inside the dorm building, we stopped in the lobby and waited for a little while.

"So, do you want to go to your room now?" asked Yamato as he looked at me "If you want to go anywhere…just say so okay?"

"No, I'm fine. But…can we stay at your room? I can make dinner?" I suggested. I know he hasn't eaten anything since the time he ran to places to look for me, and it would be lonely to just stay in my room and wait until I fell asleep, so this is the least I could do.

"Alright, that would be nice. You sure you wouldn't mind?" he asked again "You might still be tired, I can do things on my own if you'd rather rest."

"Yamato, trust me okay?" I said with a smile "I'd rather do this than do nothing."

"Okay, if you say so." He smiled back and then we headed up to the level of the guy's dorm rooms.

As we made our way to his room, I immediately noticed that something felt odd. I didn't know what it was until Yamato opened his door. "It's already open." He told me.

"Someone must be inside." I replied. And I had a pretty good feeling I knew who was.

"Well, we'll never know just standing around here." He told me. So we slowly went inside, and then when we got in, we weren't that surprised to find the whole gang there…

"SORA!" Meems was the first to climb up on her feet and tackle me. If Yamato wasn't holding my other hand, I probably would have fell. Of course I hugged Meems back with my free hand and smiled.

"I was so worried about you. Koushiro had to stop me from doing something insane! Do you know what we were doing while you were gone? We were all worried sick!" said Meems as she scanned me and looked if I was doing fine.

"Mimi, I suggest you let her breathe a few minutes before completely suffocating her." Koushiro said with a smile.

"I'm alright Meems, I'm sorry for making you guys worry about me. I just needed some time to think." I told her.

"Well, I'm so glad that you're alright. I don't know what I'd do if I found out something happened to you." Said Meems and then she turned to Yamato and gave him a smile. "Thank you for finding Sor, I didn't think you'd pull…." Meems immediately stopped and her face became frozen.

"Meems?" I asked "Something the matter?"

"Y-you…and him…" she pointed an accusing finger at Yamato and the it came, Meems suddenly squealed in glee.

I winced a bit since it shocked me and thee fact that she just suddenly squealed. "I can't believe it!" she said.

"Can't believe what?" asked Yamato confused, at both her actions and her words.

"You guys! I can't believe it finally happened! You're holding hands!" she told us excitedly.

I then looked at Yamato and let out a soft smile and mouthed "She's always like this." He gave a look that said, "I thought as much." And we both ended up laughing a bit.

Yamato looked at Mimi and told her "Yeah, I guess we are." As he used his free hand and placed it at the back of his head.

"Wait…" stated Meems "So, you're not denying it?" she asked us, a bit shocked.

"I guess there's no point in trying to deny it is there?" Yamato asked her.

"But…Sora…" Meems looked at me and I gave her a soft smile.

"I'm still getting used to this Meems, but it's not…so bad. It made me feel better, I guess I just need some more time…." I told her.

"That's….just amazing!" said Meems with a grin "I mean, I expected Yamato to find you, but for the two of you to finally end up together too? That's an added bonus!"

"She seems happier than you are." Yamato told me.

"No, I'm happy too." I assured him with a smile "She just has her ways of expressing her happiness. At least, more so than I do."

Yamato nodded and then I followed his gaze to an approaching Tai. I sighed. I had no idea what Tai was going to say, either about me running off somewhere, or the me and Yamato getting together part.

"Hey Tai." I said with a smile.

Tai smiled softly and then sighed "Just…don't do it again, and I'll close this conversation about you running off. Deal?"

"Deal." I reply and he smiles wider this time.

"So…you and Yamato huh?" he tells us both with a grin. "Can't say I'm so shocked." He stares at Yamato and gets a half-hearted glare in turn.

"Put a sock in it Tai…" Yamato tells him. This must be some guy thing.

Tai suddenly bursts out laughing like there's no tomorrow. "Man, I'm just kidding! Congratulations you guys!" he tells us with the sudden thumbs up to match.

"Thanks Tai." I tell him with a soft smile.

"But seriously, I can't say I was shocked. I mean, it had to happen some time right?" he said with a grin.

I smiled and the others seem to nod in agreement. Then suddenly Yutaka spoke up and said "Aw man, now we have to pay Tai!"

Okay…wait…pay Tai? For what? "What's going on you guys?" I asked.

"Um well, you see…" Started T.K "Tai and the others were betting on when you two would finally get together, and after Yamato went to look for you, Tai said it'd be today, and Yutaka and the others said it would probably take a few more days….so now…"

"They owe me." Said Tai with a grin while finishing T.K's explanation.

"Let me get this right…" Started Yamato, I could have sworn there was a vein popping out of his head right now "You guys were betting on us…?"

"Yup." Stated Tai.

"On when we were going to get together?" He asked again.

"More on when you'd have the guts to make a move." Said Takashi with a shrug.

There it is…another vein popping out… "Yamato…" I started, but of course, they never let me finish.

"Were you guys even worried about Sora at all!" Yamato exclaimed.

"Now I'm starting to wonder the same thing." I thought with a sigh.

The guys ended up laughing again and then Akira spoke up "Of course we were. Tai and the others just wanted to make things…a little bit more…interesting?"

"And guess what? I was right." Said Tai with a smirk.

"I can't believe this…" stated Yamato with a sigh "Some friends you guys are."

"You know you love us for it." Said Yutaka with a grin.

"Yeah he does." Agreed Takashi.

"Okay enough." I told them. "What's done is done, but Tai…" I looked at him and stated "No more of this okay?"

"Sure. What makes you think there'd be more?" he asked me innocently.

"Nothing…" I replied. But, for all I know they'll be betting on when Kari and T.K would get together.

"So, what now? We've found Sora, case closed." Said Yolei.

"Agreed. What do we do now?" asked Cody.

"We can just ask Jim to pick us up right?" said Davis "I'll go outside and give him a call."

"Thanks Davis." Said Meems.

As the others were talking, I looked over at Yamato who still seemed to be thinking about something. He noticed me looking at him and gave me a questioning look. "What is it?"

"Nothing, it's just that…shouldn't you change?" I suggested. "Your clothes are still kind of wet. Some of it dried off, but you'll get sick if you keep wearing the same thing for too long."

He blinked a couple of times before smiling "Yeah, I guess you have a point there." He told me.

I just smiled. I was still kind of tired after everything that happened today. I don't have that much energy left, and it was also getting late. After that, Yamato eventually decided to go to the bathroom and change after grabbing a clean pair of clothes. I waited for him to finish while talking to the others, and he didn't take that long anyway.

Soon enough, Jim arrived and the others had to go back. We would see each other again tomorrow, so we didn't mind. The guys and I were still in Yamato's room and as promised, I tried to make as much dinner as I could.

"Too bad the others couldn't stay." Said Tai.

"Well, they have to rest too. I kind of did put you guys through all that trouble today." I said.

"It wasn't that bad." Said Tai with a smile "As long as your alright and happy."

"Thanks Tai." I tell him with a smile.

"Besides, I get to eat your cooking again today." Said Tai as he placed a spoonful of food inside his mouth.

"Dude, slow down or you'll probably choke." Said Takashi with a laugh.

"Nothing stops Tai and food." Said Akira.

"So true." Agreed Yuataka with a nod.

"Man Yamato's lucky." Said Tai, and then his tone suddenly darkened "Just make sure you don't do anything to hurt her…or you'll wish you never lived to see another day…"

The room was silent again and I was the only one that reacted "Tai! Stop doing that! Sooner or later you'll freak someone out."

"I was just making myself clear Sor, I'm sure Yamato here understands. Right?" He looked at Yamato again with a smile, but there was this dark aura emitting from him.

"Okay…." Replied Yamato.

"Tai! He's your best friend!" I told him.

"I know that, but you're my best friend too. I'm not letting anyone hurt you, even if it is Yamato." He told me.

"Just please stop." I tell him with a smile "I'm fine, he's been nothing but nice to me Tai."

"Oh sure he has." Mumbled Tai.

"Tai, that's enough already." I said with a laugh.

"Don't worry Tai, I already told you I wouldn't do anything." Yamato said with a sigh.

"Hold it." I faced them and asked "You already told him? And when was that?"

The guys in the room smirked and looked at Yamato, and then Yutaka spoke "Oh come on Yamato, you didn't tell her?"

"Tell me what?" I looked at Yamato in confusion.

"How head over heels he was for you, since way back!" said Takashi.

"Way…back?" I asked.

"We've talked to him about his "love problems" before you know. This isn't the first time." Said Tai.

"In short, what he's trying to say is that, we've all had our fair share of guy time with Yamato to know what's been up with him." Said Akira with a smile.

"And he's told us a lot of things about you Sora." Said Takashi.

"Like…what?" I don't know what made me ask, but why do I feel like something embarrassing is about to happen?

"You know, same old stuff. How pretty and nice you are, and how you're so kind and such a caring person, and how he fell for y-…" Yamato suddenly placed a hand on Yutaka's mouth.

"Okay guys, she's heard enough!" Yamato wasn't looking at any of them, or at me for that matter. I blinked a few times to make sure, but yeah, sure enough he was staring at the other direction and the red flush on his face was very evident.

"He's right you guys, that's enough. He's had enough as it is. They just got together, don't ruin it for them." Said Akira.

"Are we ruining the whole "cool" image that Yamato has Sora?" asked Takashi.

"Not really." I replied with a smile.

"Oh? Do care to elaborate." Said Yutaka with a grin.

"Well….I don't know, this is…kind of strange, saying it in front of all of you." I replied, the blush on my face from their last statement about Yamato's feelings weren't completely gone yet.

"Come on, please? We promise not to tell." Said Yutaka.

"But…Yama might not…" I looked at Yamato hoping he would save me from all this, but…

"I'm fine with it, really Sora. I actually am quite curious about what you have to say." He told me with a smirk and I shot him a playful glare.

"Jeez. Helping your friends gang up on your girlfriend…tsk tsk Yamato." Said Tai, but I knew he wanted me to spill as much info as I could.

I still blushed at the term girlfriend, not that I didn't like it, just not used to it. "Fine…" I mumbled.

"What was that?" asked Tai.

"It's just that…I never really thought of Yamato as a completely cold person. Well, maybe I did think he was never going to get a girlfriend throughout high school…" I was then cut off with random comments like…

"Ouch."

"That's just harsh!"

"Wow, who knew?"

"Guys, I never meant it like that." I stopped them from throwing any more of those comments at me "I didn't mean that he was incapable of getting into a relationship, just that he didn't seem to be interested in being in one."

"Yeah, but you're in a relationship with him now aren't you?" asked Yutaka "What do you think made him change his mind?"

"You know, I'm right here." Said Yamato.

"Yeah, but we aren't asking you blondie." Replied Tai.

"I…I don't know. I'm not Yamato so I can't really say." I told them honestly, I was never there to think that it was actually possible for him to feel the same way to begin with, so how would I know?

"Then, what about you? If you thought that he didn't want to be in a relationship, why'd you still go for it?" asked Takashi.

"I didn't." I replied softly "At least, I didn't plan to. It just…happened. I mean, he's been really sweet and awfully nice…and then there was that smile of his that just…" I immediately stopped and looked up I know my voice got softer by the end, but whose to say they didn't hear.

"…" The guys had no comments, they were just staring at me, wide-eyed, even Yamato was!

"What do I do? What do I do? What did I just do?" I started feeling dizzy. I just babbled about my feelings, that were supposed to stay in my head, to three guys, my best friend, who also happens to be a guy, and my current boyfriend, who is once again, of course, a guy! What is wrong with me?

"Uh…sorry…" I was silent, and I think my head just popped. How I just wanted to lock myself in a room and never come out…

I heard Akira let out a soft chuckle and I could feel the other guys smirking. "Okay…uh, we still have fair activities tomorrow, so I think we should leave." Said Tai as he got up from his seat.

"Agreed. We'll see you at practice tomorrow right Yamato?" said Yutaka.

"Yeah, the show's in a few more days." Said Takashi.

"Get some rest, and Yamato, you take Sora to her room okay?" After Akira's statement, the three went for the door, and Tai gave me a pat on the shoulder.

I looked up and smiled at me and then flashed a small grin, before walking out the door and closing it, leaving me and Yamato alone.

"They did that on purpose…" I muttered.

"They sure did." Yamato got up and I did too.

"Um…I should clean up?" I suggested.

"Nah, it's okay. There's not much to clean anyway. Come on, I'll take you to your room." Said Yamato and I simply nodded.

We went out of his room and headed for mine. The walk to my room was silent, but he took my hand halfway and he didn't let it go. I had to admit that it felt nice and somehow, not many words were needed.

It was still quiet when we got there, and when I turned to open my door using the key, my hand stopped on the knob because Yamato suddenly hugged me from behind. I turned my head a bit and asked "Something…wrong?" I was a bit worried it was because of what I said.

"No, of course not." He told me.

"You're not…mad are you?" I asked again.

"Sora." He chuckled and said "Why in the world would I be mad at you?"

"Sorry, just…you know. After what happened…" I stopped there, not wanting to remember the embarrassing moment.

"It's alright Sora." He told me and the with a pause he continued "So…what exactly is it about my smile?"

"Yamato!" I laughed a bit and turned around to face him completely. "Not funny. It was embarrassing."

He just gave me a light chuckle "Hey, it's alright, they said some stuff about me to remember? Those guys always give me something to be embarrassed about."

"I guess with Tai there, it should be a given." The two of us laughed a bit and when it died down, I gave Yamato another hug.

"Thanks, for looking for me. Try not to get sick though, you have a concert at closing night." I told him.

"I know. I won't get sick, my immune system can handle it." He assured me. "You better get some sleep."

"You too." I gave him a soft smile "I'm pretty worn out."

"Well. You did lead us to a wild goose chase out there." He said with a smile.

"I know, and I'm really sorry." I replied.

"No problem, if you need anything, I'm a call away, I always leave my phone on." He told me.

"Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked.

"Of course, we'll walk to school together for the fair." Said Yamato.

I groaned "School…you're fangirls are going to kill me."

"And I wont let them. Don't worry about them Sora, you have all of us to back you up." Yamato gave me a smile and then slowly, gave me a kiss on the cheek "Night Sora, don't think about it so much okay?"

I blushed and simply nodded, before replying "Okay…night Yama…"

Then, he gave me one last smile before slowly walking away. I watched as his silhouette was completely gone and then went inside my room. I dropped down on my bed and sighed.

"This has been the most hectic, at the same time surprising, day of my life." I was happy though. Tired, exhausted, but very much content and happy. I knew I had to deal with school and even my friends, but still I was pretty satisfied, if not more. I laughed a bit to myself when I came to the realization of one thing. I know I had to deal with the rabid fans, my friends and such, but…how in the world do I end up telling my mom about all this? Oh boy, tomorrow's going to be a long day…
