Now lets focus on our second hero, who is as depressed as Tai himself, her name is Sora Takenouchi and she is in love with her best friend that she has know since she was two years old, his name is Tai Kamiya. But the problem is she is dating Matt Ishada, the thing is she didn't even want to start dating him. She had roped herself into it on Christmas, Tai the exact same person who she wanted to be with more than anything, approached her and asked her exactly what she has wanted to hear from him for a long time, he asked for a date with her or at least that's what it sounded like it.

But what went wrong was she became extremly nervous and at his question of going to the concert together, like an idiot she came up with an excuse because when she's nervous she kind of blurts out the wrong thing at the wrong time. But she just had to say the stupidest thing ever, she said and I quote "No thanks I'm gonna wait and see if Matt is free after his concert."

How could she be so stupid? But she keeps telling herself it was probably for the best because Tai didn't seem very affected by the accidental rejection, because for all she knew it might not have been a date. In fact he told her to go ahead and go ask Matt that minute, he helped her get with Matt, oh how that hurt her. She just gave up hope on him feeling the same, but the problem is she still couldn't be happy with Matt. Hell their barely together at all, he's always blowing her off for his band.

She knew he didn't want to, but she didn't care. They were friends, so she had to wait a bit but sooner or later she would be fed up with it and break up with him. which she has been wanting to do since they started dating, she doesn't want to date Matt, whether she she could be with Tai or not she didn't feel anything more than friendship between her and Matt. But because of that friendship, she's trying to go for a legitamate reason to break it off.

So it wouldn't damage there relationship as friends, She liked Matt, she thought he was cool but she just doesn't feel anything special for him never have and she never will.

Sora was awoken by the sound of her alarm clock ringing, she sat up and smacked the alarm clock of the table, she then stood up from her bed and proceeded to get dressed. She didn't even check her alarm clock before she stepped on it and went into her living room then to the kitchen, she made herself a bowl of cereal and sat down to eat it.

When she was done with the cereal she threw her bowel into the sink and left her apartment which was only a few doors from Tai's apartment. She looked over at the elevator and saw Tai in it before it left, but he didn't see her so he didn't acknoledge her. "Tai? what is he doing up so early on a sunday?"

She decided to see if she could catch him, so she quickly ran down stairs, when she got to the lobby he was outside walking away.

She didn't really like being reminded of how Tai doesn't love her back, but she couldent help herself, she has always been her happiest when she was with him, but that fact was starting to waver ever since a month ago. She briskly walked towards the lobby exit, when she got outside she looked around for Tai and mentally cursed the elevator for being so cloe to the lobby exit.

She spotted him walking through the downtown area which led to the park, she decided to not let him know of her presence. She wanted to know what he was up to, and she made a damn sure job that she stayed away from him a large distance. Yes it was harder to keep track of him but this way he would never know she was following him. After following him for a little bit he stopped in the park and sat down on the bench, she was hiding up in a tree close enough to see and hear him but not close enough for him to spot her too easily. She waited for a few seconds to see who he was meeting or what he was doing but instead he broke into tears on the bench.

Ok now she was worried, why was Tai crying? She never knew Tai as a person to cry unless it's something of extreme pain or misery, so she knew something was very wrong. She knew that if she went down there and confronted him about it he would deny and say something was in his eye, Tai was always there for his freinds through thick and thin, he comforted his freinds no matter what. But when it came to him needing comfort or reasurance or a shoulder to cry on, he would always deny it. He never wanted anyone to think he was weak, he wanted to be their fearless leader but what Sora never understood is why he had to do that, she would have gladly comforted him, everybody needs a shoulder to cry on.

And Tai was always the shoulder for the crier never the actual crier himself, Sora never figured out why he thought that would make anyone think less of him. Like for example when they were both five she kicked her soccerball over a gate that had a beware dog sign on it. But that didn't stop Sora or Tai so they both climbed over the fence and looked for the ball, Tai found it in the dogs house, and it was a big dog house so that worried the both of them. But they were too young and stubborn to understand the danger, so Sora went to get the ball but Tai pushed her out of the way, onto the ground.

She was about to yell at Tai for pushing her, but when she looked over at him a dog was sinking his teeth into Tai's arm. Tai hadn't managed to throw the ball over the gate yet, because he was in excruciating pain, he screamed as the dog sunk his teeth a little deeper into his arm, Tai's instincts finally kicked in and he violently kicked the dog off him. Tai and Sora both scrambled back over the gate, Tai picked up Sora's soccer ball with his non bitten left arm before he had climbed over the fence.

When they both got on the other side Sora began to cry hysterically. Blood was just gushing out of Tai's bite wound, but he managed to follow Sora and even keep up with her as she ran towards her mothers flower shop. When they went inside Sora began calling for her mother, "Mommy, Mommy help Tai's hurt!"

The rest of that day was all a blur but she remember most of it was spent at the hospital, the thing that really provoked her to have this theory was when her mom was taking a look at Tai's arm she said it was all her fault and Tai got hurt protecting her, all Tai did was smile and say, "Its ok Sora I'm just glad your ok, so please don't cry I hate it when you cry."

Its true Tai was crying that day but they were involuntary tears of pain and he kept acting like they weren't even there so in Sora's mind it didn't count. Sora was bewildered as Tai sat there and cried for god knows how long, but when he stood up and began leaving the park Sora had to scramble out of the tree so she wouldn't lose him. She followed him again for some time quickly ducking into alleyways or hiding behind things when Tai looked back, she was thankfully not caught and eventually he stopped looking back so it was safe.

Once he began climbing the stairs, she knew that she was just about done following him. Tai eventually got to his door and went inside, Sora then waited for a minute as if he was going to come back out, but eventually she turned around and got in the elevator. She rode it down into the lobby, when she exited the building she was struggling to remember what she was supposed to be doing before she started following Tai, "Oh crap I was supposed to be at the flower shop to start my first shift for the summer early this morning, damn it I'm late!"

Sora then broke into a sprint in the direction of her mother's flower shop, she arrived at about ten fourty am with a frowning mother waiting for her. "Why are you late Sora?"

Sora just rubbed the back of her head trying to think of an excuse, when she couldn't come up with any she sighed and spoke "Sorry mom I won't be late again."

Sora's mom just shook her head, and pointed to the counter "Get to work Sora."

Sora worked without complaint for four hours, but that of course could not go on forever with her now feeling hungry so she asked her mom for her lunch break, she agreed and Sora took off. Sora decided that she wanted to relax on her lunch break so she just grabbed a hot dog from the street vendor and made her way towards the park, once she got there it was about two fifty pm so she only had fifteen minutes to be away from the flower shop. She did her best to enjoy the break but she just couldn't, she couldn't stop wondering why Tai was crying earlier on this exact same bench in fact.

But she was quickly pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of Yolei's voice "Hey Sora."

Sora turned her head and was greeted by the sight of Yolei smiling at her. "Oh hi Yolei, whats up?"

Yolei sat down right beside Sora before she answered, "Nothing much but I was wondering if you wanted to have a sleep over?"

Sora almost froze, she did not want to re-live the last time she had a sleep over, she quickly snapped out of it and responded, "A sleep over? really? why?"

Sora's words came out ruder than she intended but it did not discourage Yolei, "I just thought it would be fun, so what do you say?"

Sora was hesitant at first but eventually she responded albeit her voice was a little shaky though, "It's not at Tai's is it?" Yolei almost burst out laughing, "No I'm talking about a girls only sleep over, say your apartment?"

Sora quickly calmed down, "Yeah sure sounds fun, what time should we make it?"

Yolei smiled knowing that phase one of the plan was complete, "How about tonight, lets say seven-ish?"

"Yeah sure."

"Ok see you later Sora."

"Bye Yolei."

Yolei slowly faded from Sora's view as she walked away, "That was close, wait did she say tonight? Damn it!"

Sora gave a angry sigh as she stood up, she started making her way back to the flower shop when she remembered that the flower shop closes early today so the sleep over could happen. Sora was relieved at remembering this information, with that small weight lifted of her shoulders she quickly made it back to the shop just in time so she wouldn't be late from her lunch break. Sora worked until about four fifty pm, she was finally off work and she already cleared the sleep over with her mother so now all she had to do was invite the guests.

Which is what she had in mind, so she quickly made her way back to her apartment and started dialing numbers. First she called Mimi and she said she would be there at about eight. Sora then called Kari, Sora was quite relieved that Tai did not pick up the phone and that Kari did. Kari agreed to come and said she would be there at seven so now all Sora had to do was get the apartment and herself ready.
