Always and Forever

Chapter 1

The tears were threatening to overflow. She was blinking them back but she knew that it wouldn't be long before they all spilled out. She pushed her auburn hair out of her eyes as she bustled about the house. He would be back soon and she did not want to make it harder than it already was.

She was thinking of the lines she had read somewhere in a book.

Her hands were trembling as she placed those papers on their bed where he would be sure to find them with her letter. He'd be broken she knew so she had tried to be as rude as possible. She was bound. She had no choice…..no choice at all…

"I am sorry Tai…." She slowly whispered.

Then the water works began to get out. She could no longer stop herself. She was hiccupping. She knew that if she waited any longer, she would not be able to go and it was a bit more than a necessity that she left as soon as possible.

She picked up her baggage and made her way down the stairs thinking of the last conversation they had had.

"Damn it the coach has called again…. He sometimes makes me wish I had remained a regular player and not the captain…."

"How long will you be gone?"

"I'll try to get back as soon as possible." He had given her his famous smirk. Then he kissed her. It had been so long since they had been together but still his kisses were full of love and passion. "Bye Sor."

"Bye…."

She opened the door and stepped into the cold night. The chilly wind pierced her. Her jacket was not enough against the cold wind. She rushed to the car and got in pulling back the tears. She glanced at their house for the last time. They had spent only two months there but she would always remember the place. And then she sped down the street. Leaving the house, leaving her friends, leaving the city….and her true love…

NINE YEARS LATER;

*RING*

Tai moaned as he pushed himself out of his bed rubbing the sleep out of his eyes yawning. He was thirty now yet he slept like a two year old.

He got up still rubbing his eyes and moved down the steps of his house. He went into the kitchen and barely had he begun to make coffee for himself that the phone began to ring. Tai moaned as he made his way to the living room and grabbed the receiver.

"Hey baby." The voice on the other end said.

Tai smiled at that. "Hey Violet! Wassup!"

"Nothing. Just called to remind you that we have a date today."

"I remember!" Tai said offended.

"Yeah you have an excellent memory and that is why you kept me waiting at Country Inn last week for two-no wait three hours."

"You should have called!"

"Oh! So it is my fault!"

"Cool off I'll be there!"

"You better be! Or the wedding is off."

"There are still two months. I'll win you back!"

"OK now don't you have practice?" Violet said laughing.

"See ya!" Tai said.

"Later!" Violet hung up.

Tai began the process of making coffee again. He took it out and began flipping through the newspaper. He began to check the gossip section. The first news was that Yamato Ishida's latest album was out. Tai smirked. So it was out finally. He had a copy lying with him for a month but he had barely gotten any time for it.

And right next to it the news was about him. It was regarding his and Violet's wedding. He began to read through it and then something made him stop…..for her name was mentioned there.

…..Taichi and Violet as sources reveal are engaged and will be married in less than two months. Taichi's last marriage as we all know with the designer Sora Takenouchi turned out totally unsuccessful….

He couldn't read any further. Whenever her name came around him, all sorts of emotions ran through him. He felt angered but he could never be angry with her for too long and that annoyed him. She had betrayed him. He was supposed to hate her and yet he could not. Though he still couldn't think why she had done that. Why all of a sudden as her letter had said she felt that they could not be together. He had called her and then she had said it through her own mouth. She had said that she wanted a new life. She had said that she fell in love with somebody and was gone…..forever….. If he did not hate her he still did not love her. She cheated him and he had never thought that of her. It had taken him years to accept the fact that she cheated on him. Then he met Violet and after being with her he began to forget Sora but yet whenever her name was mentioned he couldn't control himself. Violet knew very well not to mention his first marriage or Sora and so did all the other Digidestined though they had all wondered why Sora changed so fast.

Tai's phone rang again snapping him out of his trance. "Hello."

"Tai! The practice will be early today. Get here quick!"

"Alright coach. I'll be right there."

He got up and began to get ready to go.

"Finally there he comes." One watchman said to the other as Tai's Ferrari sped in through the gates of the soccer ground for the practice of the team. The World Cup was very near and they were practicing hard.

"Man, he can never be on time, can he?" The other watchman said as they saw Tai holding his arms in defeat while the coach was muttering away something to him. He moved towards the field shrugging him off carelessly.

"What has he to be afraid of? He knows nobody will kick him out of the team. They are nothing without him."

"Aw now that's a bit harsh man. He is a nice fellow. He just is a bit tardy."

"Huh….he has the perfect life. Great house, money, fame and beautiful girl. Did you hear they are getting married?"

"Yeah I saw it in the paper."

"Speaking of the paper. There was something about some designer. I did not know he was divorced."

"Oh you did not. Yeah you weren't in the country then, I suppose. Well Sora Takenouchi was a wonderful designer. At the young age of twenty one she had everything just like her boyfriend that is Taichi who was the new captain of the team. They soon got married and there was never a couple that loved like them. Anyone could tell they were in love by just looking at them."

"Then, why the divorce?"

"It was a most peculiar thing. They were happy one day and the next day she was gone."

"Gone?"

"Yeah disappeared nobody knew where she went and there were those divorce papers signed by her and he too got them registered after sometime."

"But why?"

"There were many rumors. But I heard him one day tell his singer friend….Yamato, Matt whatever….. that she ran off with somebody and left him some note or something and the papers and that was it."

"Woah!"

"Surprising but true. And mind you don't ever say anything 'bout it around him. He flares up!"

Chris woke up and looked at the clock in his room. Ten! Why didn't anyone wake him up. What about school! And then he remembered it was Sunday. He shook his chocolate brown messy hair and rubbed his crimson eyes. He stretched himself as he got out of bed and then tripped over his soccer ball.

The nine year old got up and made a face. And kicked the ball. He was only nine but he was great at the game and his favorite player was none other than the captain of the team- Taichi Yagami. People said that he resembled him a lot. And then he had noticed that he did look a lot like him except his eyes.

He had once asked his mother that did he look like Taichi then his mother had said that he resembled his father and nothing more. Chris had never met his father and his mother usually preferred not to talk about him. He knew that they got a divorce but he often thought that he and his twin sister deserved to know his name at least but his mother was sensitive regarding that and so the two of them usually refrained from bringing it up. Another thing his mother was sensitive about was Taichi. Yes she was sensitive about a soccer player! He did not know why. Maybe she hated soccer. He had assumed it to be that but yet she had never discouraged him from playing soccer. She had forbidden him from putting a poster of Taichi in his room. He did not think too much about it but he couldn't help wondering about who his father was. But he knew better than asking his mother who could get oversensitive at times. Besides Taichi his mother did not usually prefer talking about the rock star Yamato Ishida or that genius computer whizz…whatever his name was and that author who wrote some books titled 'Digital World.'

Chris made his way out after getting dressed and found his sister lying on the couch reading a book. Nikki did not resemble him at all except for their same crimson eyes. Nikki had auburn hair like their mother.

"Hey Nikk. Mom's gone to work?"

Nikki looked up from her book. "Yeah and so has he."

"Oh. Good."

Chris knew Nikki meant their stepfather. He was a horrible person they knew and his mother was not really happy with him. He often mistreated the two kids. When they had been younger they would complain and then there would be a big deal made by their mother. But later they began to realize that the more they complained, the more miserable Daniel-their step father- would make life for their mother. So they stopped telling her about him.

Chris grabbed the newspaper and began to rush through the gossip section.

"Nikki look Taichi's marrying Violet!"

"Really?" Nikki said getting up and ran over to look at it but in the midst he knee banged against the table and the glass of water kept on it tumbled and fell on the newspaper.

"Ow Damn it Nikki!" Chris said as he pulled it out.

"Sorry!" Nikki said. "Oh no Chris it's ruined."

Chris looked at it and sighed. "Well, at least we read the main thing." Chris said.

Chris could never be angry with Nikki and similarly Nikki could never be angry with Chris. Each other were all they had got. They knew their mother loved them a lot but they also knew that she had big problems so they shared everything with each other.

"Yeah inside would probably be all crap about some of their exes and all!" Nikki said.

And then the two of them laughed knowing little that in that newspaper among the 'exes' was the name of their own mother- Sora Takenouchi.

Yo everyone! I am back with a new multi-chap. This had come to my mind while writing 'Love Wins All' but when I finished it my exams began and they got over today yay! I had Geography today and I hate that subject. Ugh! I can handle Physics or Chemistry or even Maths easily but things like Geography and Bio! Yeah they test my nerves.

Well besides Taiora there will also be major Mimato. There will be very slight Takari but not much.

Criticism is welcome as long as it is about the story and my writing and not some stupid Koumi-Mimato or Taiora-Sorato battle. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon! Oh and yeah I couldn't give up the name Daniel so easily. I dunno why! So I named the villain Daniel again! Well R&R!
