Chapter 1: A Kiss on the Couch
Sora walked through the busy halls of her colossal high school. She sighed upon reaching her locker. She wanted some excitement in her life again, like she had in the Digital World. Not that her life wasn't amusing or anything.
The Digital World was at peace once again, away from the dangers of evil digimon trying to take over the world.
Sora ran a hand through her auburn hair as she bent down and swapped books for her classes. Then she left for her first period class. The same routine ever day – go to class, go to tennis practice, go home or chat with Kari, Yolie or Mimi.
But today was different. After school Sora went down to Tai's house to meet up with the other digidestined. Sure most of them go to the same school, but they would always be busy with one thing or another, they never got to meet very often.
Sora ran down the dusty streets leaving the high school in her wake. A few strands of hair came into her view, violently slashing her face. With one hand, she placed those tendrils behind her ear and kept running to the Kamiya's apartment. They didn't live very far from the school and neither did Sora for that matter.
Sora came to a screeching halt in front of Tai's apartment. She was panting as she reached for the doorbell. She was about to ring the doorbell but stopped when she saw the door opening on it's own accord. It revealed a very surprised and joyous Tai.
"Oh, hey Sora! You made it just in time. Everyone else is inside. Come on in." Tai led her in and closed the door with a kick of his foot.
Upon her entrance, everyone stopped what he or she was doing and greeted her warmly. Kari and Yolie embraced the sweaty Sora in a hug.
"Hi Kari, Yolie. I haven't seen you all for quite a while," Sora stated, as she slowly made her way through the throng of people to the couch.
Most of the digidestined moved near each other- all in walking distance- incase there was another threat towards the digital world. That way, they would be ready. Their parents finally came to accept the digimon and agreed to the idea of living close to each other, though Matt and T.K.'s parents still have differences between them. Mimi's parents finally allowed her to move back to Japan.
Mimi sat cross- legged on the floor across from Sora. Matt pulled Sora towards him and gave her a hug. She hugged him back in a friendly manner. Sora and Matt decided that they were not right for each other and that their relationship was not going anywhere so they decided to break it off.
Matt was wearing a black tank top and some navy blue jeans. Davis still had his goggles that Tai gave him and T.K. still had his white hat. Sora turned to Matt and asked him why they were at Tai's house.
Matt shrugged his shoulders. "He didn't tell any of us why we're here." Sora nodded.
Tai came back into the living room and said, "So, now that were all here, let's party!" Sora blinked a few times.
"You called us here so that we could party? We thought you had something serious to say," Izzy said, looking up at Tai from the floor, pulling his eyes away from the screen in front of him.
"Well, I haven't seen you all for a long time, so I thought we could just hang out like we used to. Tomorrow is the weekend anyways," Tai explained, shrugging his shoulders. Sora smiled.
'It's just like Tai, making sure we never leave anyone behind,' Sora thought.
Joe brushed off some crumbs- from a cookie he had been eating- off his shirt and laughed. "That's Tai for you! Always partying." Tai let out a laugh.
Kari got up from the chair she was sitting on and went over to a boom box that was sitting against the wall. She put some background music on and sat back down. Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya were out for the night and since it was a Friday, they would be coming back later than usual.
T.K. and Davis were arguing about who gets Kari for a dance but after a while Kari got irritated and yelled at them to stop arguing. Tai and Matt moved the heavy couch and the table off to the side- against the wall. They made a dance floor out of the empty space they had created.
T.K. cleared his throat and stepped in front of Kari, blocking her path. "Will you dance with me, my fair maiden?" T.K. asked, bending down onto a knee.
Kari raised an eyebrow in response, but then decided to play along as she felt Davis' eyes on her back. "I would be overjoyed, my knight in shining armor!" Kari and T.K. walked to the "dance floor" and started to dance to the song playing. Kari placed her hands around T.K.'s neck and he placed his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.
T.K. and Kari started dating not to long ago. They were startled and awed by Davis' reaction when they told him they were dating. He did not go ballistic about them dating, which was a surprise. But for old times sake, he argued with T.K. for Kari. It seemed like the digital world made him more mature, teaching him to take responsibility.
Matt and Sora were sitting on the couch by the wall, talking in soft tones. Mimi and Joe were on the dance floor along side of Ken and Yolie. Tai and Davis on the other hand, were pigging out at the junk food.
After a few hours of partying, people started to leave. First Joe, saying he had work to do, then Izzy and Cody. Soon there was only Kari, T.K., Tai and Sora left in the room. Tai and T.K. moved the couch and table back to the center of the room and Kari sat down on it. T.K. came by her side and sat beside her. He pulled her close to him and placed her on his lap.
Tai shot a glance at Sora and she nodded. They decided to leave the two kids alone and went into Tai's room. Kari and T.K. started making out on the couch while Tai and Sora were in his room talking and catching up with old times.
It was around eight o'clock by the time T.K. and Sora left the Kamiya's apartment. T.K. was practically flying home and was on cloud nine. It was very visible on his face. When he reached his room, he removed his hat, placed it on his nightstand and flopped onto his bed. All night long, the only thing on his mind was Kari.
Sora on the other hand, wasn't on cloud nine as she made her way home taking in the scenery. She set a brisk pace towards her house. When she entered through the door, she greeted her mom and went straight to bed.
In the Kamiya house, Kari, just like T.K., went to her room and fell into a deep sleep, T.K. occupying most of her dreams. Tai watched a movie, lazily stretched out on the couch and fell asleep mid-way.
The next morning, Tai was sleeping like a log when Kari woke up. She wondered where Tai was as she made her way to the living room. 'Surely he will not be up at this time. It will be a miracle if I can even wake him up at this hour.' She saw him sleeping on the couch with one hand dangling off the edge and a pillow covering his face. 'One must wonder how on earth does Tai get into that kind of a position.' She turned her head and looked at the clock. ' It's 9:30. Tai's game is at 11, so that leaves plenty of time,' Kari thought, as she headed towards the bathroom to take a shower.
Once done with her shower, she went to her room and wore a yellow shirt, and pink pants. She ran a hand through her wet hair as she thought about what she could do before waking Tai. 'Maybe I can call Sora, Mimi, and Yolie over before we head out for the game.' Kari ran to the phone and picked up the cordless. Her slender fingers raced over the dialing pad as she entered Yolie's number.
"Hi. This is Kari Kamiya speaking. Is Yolie there?"
"Yes, one moment please." In the background she could hear someone screaming, "YOLIE!! PHONE! Crash "…"
"I got it my very-annoying-sister." Yolie mumbled through the phone. "Hey Kari! What's up?"
"Well, I'm ready, and Tai's still sleeping so I was wondering if you would like to come over. You can stay here and we can head out to the game together."
"Don't u have any plans with T.K. or anything?"
"Nope! I thought of being polite and letting him sleep in," Kari said, smiling to herself.
"Oh, ok. Well, sorry Kari, but I can't come over. Today is my day to work in the store." After a pause, she continued talking again. "I'll talk to you later. My brother wants the phone now."
"Ok. Later Yolie." Kari hung up and dialed Mimi's number. Unfortunately for Kari, she got hold of Mimi's answering machine.
"…Hi! This is Mimi here. I'm sorry; we're not home right now. Please leave a short message after the beep. We can get together later and chat. Later…beep…"
"Hey Mimi, this is Kari. Call me ba ---…. beep…" Kari glared at the phone in her hands. "Grrr…. the girl loves to talk... took up too much time on her answering machine!" Kari hung up and had one more phone call to go. She dialed Sora's number and waited.
"Hello! Takenouchi residence. Sora speaking."
"Hi Sora." At the mere mention of her name, Tai started to stir about on the couch. Kari knew that Tai was only half asleep and could hear what was going on.
"Kari? Hi, what's up?" Kari heard through the receiver.
"The reason I called was to ask if you would like to come over for a bit."
"Sure Kari. But I have to tell mom. I'll be right back." Kari waited patiently as Sora told her mom about her plans.
"Ok Kari. I'll be over in fifteen minutes. By the way, I will be coming to Tai's game."
"That's great! I'm sure Tai would love that. How about you come with us to the game?"
"Yea, that sounds good."
"Ok. Bye Sora," Kari said, hanging up the phone once again. Tai stirred in his sleep again, slowly leaving dreamland and coming back to reality.
"Aaaahhhhh!" Tai screamed startling Kari and making her trip over her feet. "Kari! What time is it?" She picked herself off the floor and glared at her brother.
"Tai calm down. It's only ten o'clock. Your game is at 11."
"Oh. Then, I will go back to sleep," Tai said giving a yawn.
"Oh no you won't!" Kari said, grabbing Tai's shoulders before he fell back onto the couch. Sora's coming over in fifteen minutes and if you're going to take up the whole couch, then were would we sit?"
"You can go -- Did u say Sora?"
"Yes, now hurry up and get dressed."
"Alright, I'm going. I'm going." He got up and made his way to the bathroom, his wild and untamed hair sticking up everywhere.
----
Sora ran up to her room and changed her clothes into something warmer. It was a bit chilly out so she pulled on some dark blue flares and a forest green turtleneck. She ran out of her room, said bye to her mom and ran out the door.
----
Tai was finally in the shower getting ready. At that time, Kari heard the doorbell ring. ' That must be Sora,' she thought. She went to answer the door.
"Hi Sora! Come on in."
"Thanks Kari. Is Tai still sleeping?" Sora said giggling slightly.
"No, not any more. He's in the shower," Kari said laughing. Both girls make their way to the couch where they sat down. They soon heard the bathroom door open with a creak and stopped talking. Tai did not know that Sora was there and came out to the hall with a towel wrapped around his waist.
He came to ask Kari where his comb was when he spotted Sora on the couch staring at him. He felt his face burn up. Sora blinked a few times, her eyes glued to the man in front of her. ' When did he become so… masculine…?' she thought, as her eyes clouded over with lust. She realized she was staring at him for too long and her face turned a bright crimson, almost matching her hair.
Sora felt her eyes trailing over his body, and she couldn't do anything about it… no. She didn't want do to anything about it. Sora snapped out of her trance just in time to hear Kari tell Tai to go to his room and to where some clothes. He just stood there and stared at Sora. Slightly embarrassed, he finally went to his room, his knuckles turning white from holding his towel so tight in fear that it might slip off.
Tai had a crush on Sora ever since they went to the digital world for the first time. Last year when he asked Sora to the concert and got denied, his heart was crushed but she soon broke it off with Matt and that gave him hope again. With each passing day, his love for her grew and most of his dreams were taken up by Sora. He quickly got dressed in his soccer uniform and came out of his room.
Sora, Kari and Tai headed to the soccer field where Tai's match was going to take place. Once they got there, they found T.K. waiting for them near the bleachers. While Tai made his way to the field, Kari and Sora went to T.K.
The Announcer came on the P.A. "Here comes are star player! Taichi Kamiya!" The crowd goes wild. Sora, Kari T.K. all stand up and clap for him. "Everyone please settle down!" the announcer says, a hint of alarm in his voice.
The Kari, T.K. and Sora found their seats and got ready for the big game. Tai and his team were stretching their legs on the field.
Once again the announcer came on, "And the game will commence in 5…4… 3…2…and…1! They are off!" The coach down on the field blows the whistle and the game is started.
The game started out quick and fast; there was no delays. The opposing team had the ball in their tight clutches, acting as if anything happened to their precious ball, they would go on a rampage.
Tai had tried to get the ball from the guy on the opposite team, but unfortunately he did not have luck on his side at that time. Of course, this IS the championship, so the best of the best would be playing. One of Tai's team members got the ball and then kicked it past the guys who were charging at him like mad boars.
"Tai, take the ball. Go for the goal!" his teammate yelled. Tai caught the ball with ease- on the inside of his foot- and kicked it past the opposing team once again, heading straight for the goal. He was within a foot of the goal when the ball was snatched by one of the rival team members.
Tai's eyes narrowed in frustration. He knew he had to be better than the best to win the championship, and he set his mind to it.
Tai chased after the guy, racing down the field to get the ball back. By the time he made it to the other side of the field, the opposite team took its chance to make a goal. Taichi came to a halt and snatched a look at the scoreboard. The score was 0 to 1, the opposing team in the lead. He heard Kari scream within the crowd.
"Tai I know you can do it!" She knew that her brother would be devastated if he lost the championship, because most of his time was spent training for this day.
Tai's coach screamed to get the teams attention. "You guys, get your ass's back in here this instant!" the whole team scrambled back to their coach.
"TAICHI KAMIYA! If you DO NOT get your ass on that field RIGHT NOW, YOUR SITTING THE NEXT SEASON OUT TOO!!" the coach hollered, his face right next to Tai's ear. Tai just blinked a few times, made sure he could still hear, then got up from the bench.
"You don't have to scream coach," Tai said grinning at his coach. The coach just glared at his student.
"Get in there Kamiya, and win this game," the coach said, flashing a grin Tai's way.
"Yes sir!" Tai said, before taking the field. Tai grinned as he stepped on to the field of lush green grass, ready to play once again.
----
Sora was anxious to see Tai play. It had been a long time since she saw a soccer game and missed the sport.
----
Tai saw one of his teammates run at the goalie and the goalie scrambled to get out of the way. But what the goalie failed to notice was Tai's other teammate running from the opposite side with the ball in his grasp.
His team scored a goal. Now the score was one to one.
The game got off to a rough start when Tai stepped onto the field. One player on the opposing team rammed into Tai's teammate and there was a penalty for that. The other team had to bring out another player to replace that guy on the field. Then the game commenced from there.
Tai stole the ball, and kicked it down the field, quickly gaining distance. As he ran down the field, it was déjà vu for him. He remembered playing on the same soccer field when he was little, but instead of all these players with him, it was just Sora and he.
Flashback
"Come on Tai!! Hurry!" Called a chibi Sora who was currently running around the soccer field in circles.
"Ok! I'm coming!" A chibi Tai hollered. He had a soccer ball in one hand and the all too famous goggles in another. He put the goggles around his head and then placed the ball on the ground. "How about we play a game of soccer, one on one? How does that sound?"
"Sounds good to me. But let me remind you Tai that I'll be the one who will be winning this game! You just wait and see!" Sora said, poking her index finger into Tai's chest. Tai frowned and rubbed his chest. He kicked the ball towards Sora.
"You wanna bet? Here, I'll even give you a head start!" Tai said, boasting.
Sora started the game off by steeling the ball from Tai and then dashing towards his makeshift goal that he set up.
"Hey! You're supposed to say 'Ready? Set, Go!'" Tai screamed. "Come back Takenouchi!" Tai started chasing after Sora and a heated battle over the ball started. Soon the game was tied two to two and the last goal would determine the victor, or is it victor-ess?
Sora grinned evilly as she let Tai take the ball first. "I'll get it out of his grasp and into his goal in no time," she whispered to herself as she stole the ball from Tai. Tai started chasing after her once again, but she tripped him- by accident- and he ended up falling on his face. Sora took this time and scored a goal making her the "victor-ess".
Soon after, she was ranting on and on about how she told Tai she would win and it came true.
End of Flashback
He took his chance and shot the ball into the goal for all it was worth and watched his luck.
Tai blinked.
Then he rubbed his eyes, making sure he was not hallucinating. He made the ball into the goal! The crowd's screams finally reached his ears and saw his teammates run at him and tackle him into the ground for a group hug.
Taichi looked up into the crowd to see the faces of Kari, Sora and Takeru- who had snaked his arm around Kari somewhere in the middle of the game. His friends and his sister had broad smiles on their faces.Tai had beads of sweat all over his face. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and took in a few deep breaths. His chocolate brown eyes shined with pride and happiness. He saw the other team walk past him but he stopped each one and congratulated them on a well-played game.
Tai could feel his stomach drop for a second and looked down. His team members had lifted him onto their shoulders and they carried him off to the locker rooms.
The crowd erupted into a wild cheer and everything was in chaos, as all the fans in the stands- practically everyone- rushed down to congratulate the team. Some of the people in the crowd- a few girls in particular- were crazy enough to chase after the boys and follow them into the locker rooms. After a few very loud screams, security came into the locker rooms, grabbed the girls, and a few guys, by the waist- a guard per person, they should feel special- and got carried away.Once everything and everyone were settled down, people started to leave. Tai came out of the locker room, his hair dripping with water, his slightly wet shirt sticking to his body, and went to the stands to meet his friends. "Mom! Dad!" Tai exclaimed upon seeing his parents standing by his friends. "What are you guys doing here? I thought you had work."
"Tai, you know we wouldn't miss your soccer championship for the world. Of course we could come to watch you," Mrs. Kamiya said, grabbing Tai into a hug. Tai smiled.
"You were great out there Tai." Tai heard his father say.
After Tai made his way out of his mom's embrace, he turned to look at Sora. She gave him a sweet smile and kissed him on the cheek. "Good game," she whispered into his ear. Tai felt his heart beat increase and heard it pounding in his ears. His face turned red and he stuttered out a thanks.
"Let's get out of here," Kari said. Mr. Kamiya nodded. "T.K., do you want a ride home?" Kari asked.
"Sure." The Kamiya family, Sora and T.K. somehow fit into the Kamiya's car and drove T.K. home. "Hey Kari, do you want to come over? Is it ok Mr. And Mrs. Kamiya?" T.K. asked.
"No funny business then," Mr. Kamiya said grinning. T.K.'s eyes widened and he paled.
"N- No Sir!" T.K. stuttered. He climbed out of the car and Kari followed.
"Bye Sora, Tai, Mom, Dad." She said, closing the door behind her. Sora came back to the Kamiya's house and Tai's parents left once again.
Tai walked in behind Sora and closed the door after he entered the apartment. They removed their shoes by the door and walked into the living room. Sora walked over to the couch but failed to notice the empty coke can by the foot of the sofa that was left there from yesterday's party. She placed her right foot on the can, not taking any notice of it, and tried to walk, but ended up stumbling backwards right into the arms of Tai.
Tai immediately wrapped his arms around her small waist trying not to fall at the same time. Without realizing it, he pulled her closer to him, until she was standing up right once again. He didn't let go, at least not yet. Sora tried to move, but Tai's hold was too tight.
"Tai?" she whispered.
"Oh…" He let her go, his arms dropping to his sides. He felt his blood rush straight to his face but continued to stare at her unable to think of an excuse. Sora smiled softly at him and picked the can off the ground. She threw it in the trash and sat on the couch. She patted the seat next to her, indicating to him that she wanted him to sit by her. He moved his stiff body to the couch, still embarrassed at what he did. He sat next to her, his whole body tense.
"Relax Tai." Sora said, placing a hand on his shoulder. She pushed him back a bit, but he would not budge.
She frowned.
Sora got up from the couch, then sat back down with her legs under her. She placed both her hands on his shoulders and started massaging. "You're too stiff. Relax," she said once again.
Tai's eyes widened. 'What is she doing!? Does she know what she's doing to me?' Tai thought, starting to panic. Soon, Sora's fingers got the best of him and he felt himself relaxing under her touch. He closed his eyes and leaned to her touch.
Sora stopped massaging his shoulders for a second and moved so that she was sitting right beside him, almost shoulder-to-shoulder. Then she resumed again. Tai's eyes closed slowly, his mind's eye starting to get cloudy. He let out a groan of pleasure and felt Sora's hands go down his spine.
"Sora…" he whispered, dragging out the last syllable.
"Hum?" she asked, her lips right near his ear. She grinned. He was eating right out of her hand. She felt his ear twitch- probably because of the close proximity between her lips and his ear. She smiled. 'I can do anything to him in this state and he'd probably think it's just a dream.'
She let her lips brush the tip of his ear and he let out a soft moan. Sora's fingers worked their way up, back to his firm shoulders and then to his neck. He let his head roll back, giving her more access to his face. Her hands ran up his neck, sending shivers down his spine. Then she started massaging his temples and forehead. "Yes…" groaned Tai unconsciously. Sora let out a soft laugh. His cheeks were flushed pink, his lips a very deep red.
'Temping…' Sora thought. An evil glint was seen in her eyes as she bent lower. Her hands went back down the sides of his face, down his neck, back to his shoulders. Her lips on the other hand, had a different mission. She placed her lips against his ear, kissing his earlobe.
She heard Tai mutter something that sounded an awful lot like her name but dismissed it and continued on with her assault on Tai's senses. Right now he felt like he was in heaven.
She left a trail of kisses from his ear down to his jaw. Her lips slowly found their way to his and she finally took in his sweet taste. She pulled back slightly, but felt pressure applied onto her lips. Tai apparently enjoyed this. Sora felt slight movement but took no notice of it. Then she felt something running though her hair and her body tensed up. Finally realizing it was Tai's hand, she relaxed once again.
Tai pressed her head down a bit, applying a bit more pressure to her lips. He wanted this for so long. She kept massaging his shoulders, making him slowly loose sight of reality. He was now in his own world with Sora by his side. He arched his back slightly when her hands trailed down his spine once again. Tai opened his mouth and let his tongue slither out.
He licked her warm lips, a strange desire overcoming him. She was shocked at the boldness Tai showed. Nevertheless, she was enjoying this as much as he was. She opened her mouth slightly and soon felt his tongue pressing against her teeth. She opened her mouth fully, giving him full access and his tongue slid in. She felt something slither against her tongue and her eyes shot open. But she soon got used to the feeling and her eyes closed again.
Tai's hand ran thorough Sora's hair, his slender fingers wrapping around her neck, bringing her closer.
Sora felt her body going limp and her hands stopped massaging his shoulders. Tai turned his body slightly and wrapped his other hand around Sora's waist, pulling her atop of him. He fell back onto the couch and pulled Sora with him, his head resting on the armrest. His arms traveled up and down her arms, through her hair and over her back. Tai was falling and falling hard for this crimson-haired beauty.
He broke the kiss and took a few deep breaths of air. His eyes still closed, he felt her lips right above his, her breath against his lips. He moved his head slightly, his rosy lips coming in contact with her neck soon enough. He trailed hot, steamy kisses down her neck, making her moan in pleasure. He felt Sora's hands travel up his arms, over his chest and to his head where her fingers raked his skull, sending him over the edge.
His hands went down to the hem of her shirt. He could feel her body heat up. Her shirt was already short, but it rode up slightly exposing her stomach and back. He could feel her silky skin under his long fingers. His lips moved down her neck and went down her collarbone. He heard Sora moan and grinned. Tai rolled Sora over to the side, and then rolled on top of her. He placed on elbow on the couch and transferred most of his weight onto his elbows.
Still in that state of ecstasy, he let his lips move back over her collarbone to her shoulder. He found a particularly tantalizing piece of skin- between her neck and shoulder- and started sucking.
"Tai…" he heard her whisper. She let her head roll back, her hands lay limp on Tai's back. She had never felt such sensations ever before- not even with Matt. One of his hands slowly crawled up her stomach, her soft skin teasing the tips of his fingers. His hand went up and so did Sora's shirt. Meanwhile, his lips found their way back to hers and he teased them feverishly, his mind wandering somewhere else.
Unfortunately for these two ignorant lovers, they would soon be brought back to reality the hard way. The front door of the Kamiya's apartment opened with a creak and Kari stepped through the door. She removed her shoes and placed them by Tai's. At that time, she saw Sora's shoes there beside Tai's. 'Sora must still be here. Wonder where they are,' Kari thought as she walked into the hallway. The whole apartment was quiet except for some rustling sounds by the couch. The window was open, letting the cool air flow into the room. Kari thought that something on the couch must have been moving from the air coming through the window and she walked right past Tai and Sora.
Kari walked into her room and changed her clothes into something more comfortable. She came back out donning a loose purple tee shirt and a light pink velvet pant. She looked over to the room across from hers and saw Tai's door closed. She knocked on his door. "Tai? Sora? Are you in there?" She got no response back. Kari knitted her eyebrows together. 'Should I open the door?' She decided to and quietly opened the door.
Tai's room was littered with things over his floor and Kari had to step over things to enter his room. But it was better than when he was younger. 'Boy's will be boys I guess.' Kari surveyed the room but there was no sign of Tai or Sora.
Kari frowned and walked out of the room. She went back into the hallway and took a peek inside the kitchen. No Tai or Sora. She finally decided to check on the couch. 'If I don't find them there, then it must mean they have gone out.' Kari thought as she walked over to the couch.
She took a peak over the top of the couch and her eyes widened in horror. There Tai was, on top of Sora… 'Even T.K. and I haven't gone this far…' She took a step back, then walked around the couch.
She cleared her throat and said, "Tai?"
Tai heard a faint voice calling to him, but all he could think about was the girl who was underneath him. "Tai." He heard the voice once again, but was too engrossed with what he was doing, that he couldn't make out who's voice it was. "Tai!" He finally placed the voice with the face… Kari. Kari. Kari… Tai's eyes shot up in horror and so did Sora's once she didn't feel him move anymore.
"Kari!" he yelled. He tried to move, realized Sora was underneath him and reality finally hit him. He fell of the couch and landed hard on the floor. "Sora…" He whispered, his eyes wide with horror.
