High school Blues: Chapter 2By: TaioraCrazedGirl
Kari 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.
"Uhhh…" Tai trailed off, with a deer-caught-in-headlights look on his face. Sora's face was bright red, her brain running a hundred miles and hour, trying to think of an excuse. After all, it was she who started this whole mess.
'What would we have done if Kari did not come in here when she did?' Sora thought. She shook her head; she did not want to think about that right now. She had bigger problems in front of her, like explaining herself to Tai and Kari.
Kari looked at Tai, then Sora. "Well? What was going on in here?" Kari asked. She was dumbfounded with Tai's actions. But then again, she was always confused wherever Tai was concerned.
"Uhh…" Sora looked up at Kari. She just did not know how to explain herself. She desperately wanted to get this mess cleared out between Tai and herself but did not have enough guts to talk to Tai face to face. 'He's the one with the crest of courage…'
Kari sympathized with the girl and asked her to come over to the side for a minute. The two girls left Tai on the couch and went to talk in Kari's room.
"Ok Sora. Explain yourself. The last time I saw you guys, both of you were blushing like little schoolchildren and now both of you were going at each other like a pair of rabbits. I didn't think you guys would get together that fast…" Kari said. She waited for Sora to explain.
"Well Kari, it kind of got out of hand…" Sora started with a tentative look on her face. Kari shot her a confused look. Sora looked down towards the floor and started explaining.
"You see, after your parents dropped you and T.K. off, I came over to Tai's house…"
After she told Kari the whole story, beginning until end, Sora finally looked Kari in the eye. Kari had a look of shock on her face, slowly changing to disbelief, and then a small smile crept onto her face.
"Tell me something Sora. Do you love my brother?"
Sora was uncertain as to how to answer that question. She knew her feelings all right. However, she was not so sure about Tai's. She could always ask Kari.
She knew she had to get this off her chest; otherwise it would bug her until the end of her days… well, maybe not that long. Sora sighed and answered the question.
"Yes I do Kari. Yes I do…"
Kari smiled, and then nodded. "Then you have nothing to worry about." Sora blinked.
"What?" She asked the younger girl. Kari grinned.
"Sorry, but I can't tell you. It's Tai's place to tell you." Kari gave a soft smile towards Sora.
Sora frowned. "How will I explain this to Tai? He might think I'm crazy or something…attacking him like that…" Sora said trailing off. She looked at Kari with worry filled eyes.
Kari smiled at Sora and said, "It'll all work out. Believe me." Sora frowned. Kari opened the door, walked out and closed the door behind her.
'Does she know something that I don't? Is she subtly telling me that Tai likes me? I can never be sure about that unless I ask him myself.' Sora scrunched up her face. 'This is so frustrating!! But I can't face Tai right now. I don't think I'll have the stomach to talk to him today. I'll just get going towards home.' Sora thought, picking herself off Kari's bed. She opened the door once again and tiptoed towards the bathroom to fix herself up. She saw Tai sitting on the couch, Kari sitting beside him, talking in soft tones.
Sora walked into the bathroom, turned the light on with a little 'click' and looked in the mirror. She was a sore sight to see. Her face flushed, lips red, neck a pale pink, hair disheveled, and clothes were disarrayed. Sora ran a hand through her hair making it somewhat presentable. She turned the sink tap on, letting her hands run through the cold water. After it was lukewarm, she cupped her hands together, letting some water fill up in her hands. She washed her face and turned the faucet back to its original position. She took a towel off the towel rack near the sink and wiped her hands and face. Once done rearranging her clothes and straightening them out, she opened the door and turned the bathroom light off.
She walked into the hall and towards the door. She was thankful Tai did not turn around and see her walk out the door. Though she did saw Kari glance back towards her and Sora waved her hand in a silent goodbye. Kari gave a soft smile and let Sora walk out the apartment door. Tai was just staring at the floor; unaware of anything that was going on around him.
Sora walked towards her apartment complex, her eyes slowly filling up with tears. 'Why did I have to go and do such a stupid thing!? Now I have to get myself out of this mess and fast. But not today. I'll e-mail Tai or something tomorrow. I just cannot face him.' Sora thought. The same thoughts kept repeating over and over in her head, slowly driving her insane. 'Why was I so stupid?' Sora finally arrived at her apartment and she walked in once she got the door open.
'Looks like mom's not home yet.' Sora dropped her keys on the dining table and went into her room. She changed into something more comfortable and threw the used clothes in a corner of her room. 'I'll just get that later…' She thought as she collapsed on her bed, falling into a troublesome sleep.
In the Kamiya apartment, Tai told his side of the story to Kari. "So what are you complaining about? It sounds like you enjoyed yourself." Kari said.
"Yeah, but this is Sora we're talking about. Sure I love her, but I do not have the slightest idea how she feels about me. I don't even know how it started. One moment she was massaging my shoulders, the next moment, she was on top of me, kissing the daylights out of me." Tai stated.
"She loves you, you know." Tai gave her a skeptical look.
"How do you know for sure?"
"She told me." Kari stated, a grin on her face.
Tai raised an eyebrow. "You sure she just wasn't saying that to make you satisfied? How do you know she was telling the truth?"
"Well then, if you don't believe me, ask her yourself." Kari said getting up from the couch. She walked over to the kitchen to get herself something to eat.
Tai sighed. 'I just might have to do that. For all I know, Kari just might be playing with my feelings… Sora might not have even said anything to her.' Then Tai looked up. 'Where is Sora anyways?' Tai gave voice to his thoughts and asked Kari the same question. Kari stuck her head out from the side of the kitchen and looked at him.
"Oh, she went home." Kari said in a matter-of-fact tone and ducked back into the kitchen again. Tai stared at the spot where he saw Kari last, eyes wide open.
"W-what?" he sputtered.
"You heard me." Kari said. Tai could hear a small giggle coming from the kitchen. He rolled his eyes. He lifted his body off the couch and walked towards his room. Before he entered his room, he stopped by the bathroom.
Tai flicked the light on and looked into the mirror. His hair was messy, but then again, it was always messy. His lips were swollen, and eyes were glazed. He chuckled to himself. 'Wow… one girl could do all this to me…' he thought, shaking his head slightly. He turned the lights off and walked into his room.
He opened the door and kicked the stuff in front of him off to the side making his walls quake on impact. He grumbled something and went over to the phone on his desk. He looked over at a photo and picked it up off the table. There, in the picture, all the digidestined, including Willis, were crowded in front of the camera, Sora wrapping her hands around Matt. T.K. and Davis both had one arm around Kari – who was standing in the middle of the two. Mimi was laughing at something Joe said, he was laughing along with her and Tai was standing off onto the side with the rest of the gang.
Tai smiled at the picture then placed the frame upside down on the table. He picked the phone off its cradle and dialed in Sora's number. He waited patiently for someone on the other end to pick up. It rang, and rang, and rang. Finally the answering machine picked up.
"Hi, Takenouchi residence, we're not available at this moment, but please leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as ---" Tai hung up the phone. If Sora was not home, he wouldn't bother to leave a message.
Tai turned around and went to his closet. 'I'll go talk to Matt. Maybe he can help me.' Tai got a thin jacket out from his closet and walked out of his room. He went to the kitchen to say bye to Kari. "I'm going Kari. I'll come back in a hour or so." Tai said walking towards the door.
"Ok. Mom and Dad will be home soon though." He heard Kari say. He slid his feet into his shoes and walked out the apartment door. He walked over to the Ishida apartment a few blocks down the street and went up their apartment complex. He finally arrived at their apartment and saw the nameplate 'Ishida' on the front door. Tai took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened and revealed Mr. Ishida.
"Hi Mr. Ishida. Is Matt home?"
Mr. Ishida shook his head. "Sorry Tai, he had band practice. He left about fifteen minutes ago." He told Tai.
"Oh… Ok. Thank you." Tai bowed and left. Tai started for home but saw Davis on the way and stopped to chat with him.
"Hey Davis." Tai greeted.
Davis turned around and saw Tai. "Oh! Hey Tai!" he greeted back, running towards his leader. "What were you up to?" Davis asked.
"Uh…" Tai wasn't so sure if he wanted to explain his situation to Davis. He stammered and blushed.
Davis winked at him. "It's all right if you don't want to tell me. I already know the whole story by your facial expressions." Davis said.
Tai's eyes widened as he thought of an excuse. "No! No, it's not that. Nothing like that happened Davis. Get your mind out for the gutter." He chose not to tell Davis what happened. Davis grinned.
"Fine, have it your way Tai. I got to get going though. I'll see you around sometime." Davis said as he started walking away.
"All right." Tai nodded and continued home.
Behind him, he could hear Davis mumbling to himself "Tai got lucky… Tai got lucky…" Tai shook his head, a small smile on his face, and continued home. Once Tai reached home, he opened the door and walked in.
"How did it go with Matt?" Kari asked, coming out from the kitchen.
"Matt wasn't home, so I decided to come back." Tai replied. He went into the kitchen and looked in the fridge to find something edible to eat. Just then, Mr. And Mrs. Kamiya came through the door.
"Hi Kari, Taichi, we're home." Tai's mom calls from the doorway.
"Oh, hey mom, dad." Kari greets. Tai looked up at his parents and nodded his head in greeting.
"Mom, is there anything to eat in the house?" Tai asked, looking at his mom.
"Oh, Sorry about that. I forgot to pick up the groceries today. I'll go tomorrow though." She said.
"Then how about we order take-out?" Tai suggested. Mr. Kamiya nodded. "All right then. What do you want to eat? Chinese? American? Italian?" The family finally agreed on something and Tai ordered.
Once done with their dinner, Tai excused himself and left for his room. Tai entered his room and closed the door behind him. He stripped down to his boxers and put on a pair of night pants. He collapsed onto his bed and thought about the day's events. "Why did Sora do that anyways?" he muttered to himself… not that he minded what she did. He was just curious about her actions, if she meant to do what she did, or if she was caught up in the moment.
Tai placed his hands behind his head and stared up at the ceiling. He slowly fell asleep, Sora occupying his mind once again.
In the morning, say around eleven o'clock in the morning, Tai slowly got up, rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands, trying to get the sleep out. He gave a loud yawn, pushed the covers off his body and stood up. He grabbed a shirt off the floor the floor and slid into it. Upon opening the door, he saw Kari walk into her room, then walk out, ready to go out.
"Where are you going so early in the morning?" Tai asked.
Kari raised an eyebrow at him. "Early? It's all ready eleven o'clock. And I'm going over to T.K.'s." Tai gave a suggestive grin.
"Have fun!" Tai said, winking.
Kari glared at him. "No you bum! Davis is coming over too," After she said that, Tai started cracking up. Kari growled. "You… you insufferable idiot!" She punched him playfully in the arm and continued. "We're all meeting at T.K.'s for an assignment we have for school. We decided to work on it together."
Tai got serious again and smiled at her. "All right. Then I'll just hang around here… or maybe, if she's alright with it, I'll stop by Sora's apartment." Tai said, nodding to himself.
"Uhhh… Tai, I don't think that's such a good idea. She was very uncomfortable when she left yesterday. Leave it up to her. She'll come to you when she's ready." Kari said, heading out the door. Tai sighed.
----
Sora finally decided to get out of bed and stood up stretching her arms. 'I guess it's time to e-mail Tai,' she thought, sulking. She did not want to face him just yet. She walked over to her desk and saw a note taped onto the wall. She narrowed her eyes and peeled the note off the wall. She opened it and started reading the note out loud.
Sora, I'm off to work. There are some leftovers from dinner in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you need and call me if you need anything. Your dad is coming home in another day or two and is eager to see you.
Love, Mom.
Sora smiled. Her dad was finally coming back home after about a month away from home. She smiled and went out into the hall. She went into the bathroom, brushed her teeth and then got something to eat from the fridge in the kitchen. She walked back into her room and opened her d-terminal, and started emailing Tai and apology message.
Dear Tai,
I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I guess I got caught up in the moment and was not thinking straight. Like I said, I am sorry for any inconvenience it caused. I would like to apologize to you face to face, but I need some time to gather my thoughts… if you understand.
Love,
Sora
Sora read the email once over and when she was satisfied with it, she pressed send. She held her breath and waited till it was done sending. With a little 'ding' the message was finally sent. Sora sighed and started eating her breakfast.
----
Tai's computer in his room went off with a loud beeping noise. "Aahhhh!!" screamed Tai as he jumped up into the air ten feet, startled by the sudden noise. He finally realized it was his computer beeping and went over to see what the problem was. "At least it did not start beeping when I was asleep, or I would have been in deep shit by now…" Tai muttered under his breath.
He pressed the on button on the monitor and instantly, his computer screen brightened. "Ok, lets see…" He moved the mouse down to the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen and saw a message alert 'You have one new message' flashing. Tai had a frown on his face as he opened the mail message. He saw it was from Sora and immediately started reading it.
Once done, he closed the message, turned the monitor off and rested his back against his table. He closed his eyes and raised his hands to give his head some support to lean on. His elbows were against his stomach, head bent down resting in his hands, his eyes closed.
After a minute of silence, he turned around and picked the phone off its cradle. He dialed a number and waited for the ring.
"Hello? Sora Takenouchi speaking." Her voice sounded slightly depressing, like she had been crying, but that was not the case. It just sounded like that.
"Hi Sora," Tai said carefully, as if he was treading in dangerous water.
"Tai!" Sora exclaimed into the phone. Her eyes widened and her grasp on the phone weakened. The phone eased out of her grasp and fell to the floor with a loud clash. Tai immediately pulled the phone away from his ear but then realized something happened on the other end.
"Sora? SORA!" Tai screamed into the phone. Sora slowly bent down and picked the phone off the floor.
"Tai?" Sora asked meekly.
"I'm still here." Tai said.
"Sorry about that. The phone fell by accident," Sora tried to explain.
"It's all right. Look, I was wondering if I could meet you somewhere to talk about everything? I know you don't want to talk about it right now and I think I know what you're going through, but the longer you wait, the harder it will be to face reality. Look, I'm ready to talk about it if you're willing too. It's up to you. I'm not mad at you Sora. If anything, I didn't mind what happened yesterday…" Tai said, grinning, and rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
He heard Sora sigh and then say, "All right. Where do you want to meet?"
"Um… how about we meet in Odiba Central Park in an hour? How is that?" Tai asked.
"That is fine with me. I'll see you then. Bye." Sora said.
"Bye," Tai whispered into the phone as he placed it back into its cradle. He took a deep breath and then went to take a shower.
Tai reentered his room with a towel wrapped around his waist. He quickly changed into some warm clothes and went to the kitchen to get his breakfast or lunch… whatever you want to call it.
Once done with his brunch, he took a look at the clock and saw it was fifteen to one thirty and decided to head on over to Central Park and wait for Sora. He placed his bowl in the kitchen sink and went over to the door to put his shoes on. He grabbed his keys off a key holder and went out the door. Locking it behind him, he started walking towards the Park.
He arrived there and glanced at his watch. 'Right on the dot.' He thought, a smile playing on his face. He turned around when he heard footsteps. "Sora." He said nodding at her.
"Hi Tai." Her voice was slightly rough, but he could not see any of her emotions because she was looking towards the ground in front of her.
Tai sighed and started to talk. "Sora, I just want to know what happened yesterday, if you were meaning to do that, or if you did not mean to, but was just caught up in the moment to realize what you were doing." Tai said, looking over to Sora.
Sora looked at him and showed him a sad smile. "I just got caught up with the moment. Like I said Tai, I'm sorry, I got carried away and wasn't thinking."
"Look Sora, I'm not mad at you, in fact, I sort of enjoyed the kiss." He said with a grin.
Sora's head shot up and looked at him with wide eyes. "W-what? What did you say?" Sora whispered.
"I said I enjoyed the kiss. But then again, I'm a guy." Tai said chuckling. After a pause, he decided to tell her how he feels. 'There's nothing to loose. If I tell her now, I'll get her now, and if I tell her later, she might be with someone else, and then it will be too late. But there is always that chance that she doesn't have feelings for me now, and will later, but I can't wait that long. Who knows how long that will be from now? I mean there's nothing to loose… if she doesn't return my feelings, I'll just go home and cry my eyes out…that's all…' Tai thought, getting a nervous feeling in his gut. 'I have the crest of courage…were is the courage when you need it?' Tai thought miserably. "Sora," Tai started.
Sora glanced up at him and said, "How about we sit down?" Tai nodded. They took a bench near them and Tai continued.
"Sora, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now… I- I… I can't do this…" Tai ended up saying. He mentally cursed himself.
Sora frowned. "Tell me what Tai? I won't laugh… or at least I won't try to…" She said, letting out a small giggle. Tai shot a smile in her direction.
He took a deep breath and thought, 'If what Kari said is true, then I can tell Sora and there will be no problems. Hopefully she wasn't just playing with my feelings…' "Sora, I love you." Tai blurted out. He looked at her with wide eyes, waiting for her response just like a kid waits for a new toy or for his favorite food.
Sora looked down at the bench seat then looked back up at him.
----
Kari walked over to T.K.'s once she left Tai in their apartment to fend for himself. She knocked on T.K.'s apartment door and it immediately opened. T.K. greeted her with a kiss and pulled her though the door.
"Hey Kari," He said between kisses.
"I missed you," Kari mumbled, her voice thick with emotion.
T.K. laughed. "We've only been away from each other for… probably less then half a day," He said, finally taking her towards the couch. Both T.K. and Kari sat beside each other, kissing, touching, caressing till they were satisfied.
Kari sat in T.K.'s lap, his arms ensnared around her waist. "Guess what I saw yesterday?" She asked him.
"What?" He asked her, pausing to nip at her neck in a playful manner.
"Hey! Stop that! That tickles!" Kari said while giggling. "Well, I saw Tai and Sora having a very heated make out session on the couch."
T.K. stopped kissing her neck. "What?? Your kidding right?" Kari shook her head. T.K.'s eyes widened in disbelief and he started laughing. "Wow… I didn't know they had it in them…"
"Yeah, but the thing was, when I called Tai's name and when he came back to reality, I asked them what happened. Both of them looked shocked at what they were doing." Kari explained.
The doorbell rang and T.K. exclaimed, "That must be Davis. I'll go get the door." T.K. said as he gently lifted Kari off his lap and placed her on the couch. He walked to the door, opened it and let Davis in.
"Hey Kari." Davis greeted. She nodded back and smiled at him.
"So… Shall we get started on this little bugger?" T.K. asked when he walked into the room, a smile plastered on his face. The other two nodded and got started on their summer project.
----
Tai waited patiently for her answer. He saw her look back up at him and she smiled. Tai felt a smile tugging at his lips and he raised an eyebrow at her. "Is that a yes?" He asked, his voice clearly showing nervousness.
He barely heard it but there was a distinct yes that came from her. His whole face lit up, a full smile visible on his face. His eyes glistened with happiness. He stood up and pulled her up off the bench by offering a hand. She took it and stood up beside him.
Sora felt like she could burst; her heart was full of joy. She couldn't believe it. He loved her in return, just like she loved him! She wrapped her arms around his waist but jumped away when her cell phone rang. She couldn't wipe the smile on her face even when she took the cell phone out from her pocket and answered it.
"Hello?" Sora asked in a giddy voice.
"Hi Sora. Apparently your dad finished early with his work and is home right now," Sora's mom exclaimed through the phone.
"What?" Sora exclaimed, almost shouting out in glee. "I'll come home straight away!" Sora said as she hung up and turned to Tai with a smile on her face. "Tai, I'm sorry, but I just found out my dad is home and I –"
Tai laughed and said, "You're eager to see him. Go. I can see you tomorrow morning then. I'll see you later ok?" Tai said. Sora nodded and kissed him on the cheek. Tai smiled and watched her run home to see her dad.
Sora got to the front door of her apartment panting. She rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer. Her dad opened the door and she jumped into his arms. "Dad!"
"Hi Sora!" He exclaimed, wrapping his arms around his daughter. Both of them walked in and Sora closed the door behind her.
----
Tai walked home, a smile on his face. He entered the apartment and placed his keys on the key holder and went over to the couch. Turning on the T.V., he scanned the channels for something good to watch.
Tai let out a yawn, his body still wanting more sleep. He felt his eyes pull down on him and he decided, since there was nothing better to do, he might as well take a nap. He turned off the TV and made his way into his room. As he entered his room, he felt a warm breeze flow through the room, making his room warmer then the rest of the house.
Tai closed his room door and closed the blinds. It was still bright enough for him to see without turning the light on. He removed his shirt and pants and draped them over his chair, which was in the corner by his desk. Only clad in black boxers he made his way over to his bed and slipped under the warm covers. He soon fell into a deep sleep.
----
In T.K.'s apartment, after another hour or so of working, they made much improvement on their school project. It was due a month after, so they decided on taking it slow. Davis got off the floor and decided on heading home. "Too much thinking will hurt my brain," Davis said laughing.
Kari shook her head. "Then I guess that's a wrap." T.K. nodded.
"Then I'll see you guys later? How about I call you two and we'll plan something?" T.K. asked.
"Sounds good to me," Davis said as he put his shoes on. Kari walked over to the door and stood next to Davis.
"I'm going too T.K. I'll call you later ok?" T.K. nodded and placed a chaste kiss on Kari's lips. He opened the door and let Davis and Kari out of his apartment. Once down on the main floor, Davis and Kari said bye and went their separate ways.
Kari entered her apartment and called out to Tai. "Tai? Are you home?" Kari frowned and walked into his room. She smiled when she saw he was fast asleep. 'Leave it to him to always laze out,' Kari thought as she walked out of his room and closed the door behind her. She went over to the couch and turned the TV on. She found a good movie and decided to watch that.
About half way though the movie, someone rang the doorbell and Kari got off the couch and went to answer it. "Who is it?" she asked, looking through the peephole.
"It's me, Kari."
"Oh, Sora! Hi." Kari said as she opened the door to let Sora through. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, Tai and I talked earlier today, about two to three hours ago, and he told me he loved me," Sora said with a smile.
Kari grinned. "That's great!!" She exclaimed. "I told you everything would work out!" She went over and hugged the older girl. She pulled back and said, "I bet you're here to see Tai, aren't you?" Sora gave a small smile and nodded. "He's in his room sleeping, but you can wake him up. He's been asleep ever since he got home I suspect. When I came home, he was fast asleep."
"Ok, thanks Kari." Said Sora, walking over to Tai's room. She entered and closed the door behind her. She could hear the TV once again. 'Kari must be watching a movie or something… it sounds familiar.' Sora looked around Tai's room, her eyes finally landing on his bed. She saw him fast asleep, his arms and legs spread everywhere. She chuckled silently to herself and walked over to his bed.
"Tai, Tai, Tai," she muttered under her breath. She got an evil glint in her eye as she slowly peeled the covers off his body. Tai groaned and groped for the missing covers. When he finally got his hands on it, he pulled it over his head and got comfortable once again. Sora laughed. She pulled the covers off his body once again, but this time, slipped into the bed beside him.
Tai was in the state where he could hear everything going on around him, but it happens in his dreams so he thinks it's not reality- only half awake. He felt someone slid in beside him and then wrap the covers over his body once again. He felt the bed move underneath him and an arm draped over his waist. A body was soon pressed against his and he felt something warm touch his cheek.
Tai let out a groan and turned to lie on his back. He felt something trail down his neck, down to his collarbone and back up to his lips.
Sora saw Tai's body tense up and she moved her arm from his waist to his head, running a hand through his hair. She finally came in contact with his lips and kissed him fully. Tai's eyes shot open and he saw Sora staring right back at him. She pulled back and grinned at him.
"Hey," She greeted.
"Hey yourself. What are you doing here?" Tai asked with a hint of wonderment in his voice.
"Well, I found out my dad is going to stay for a few weeks so I decided to spend some time with my new boyfriend." Sora said, smiling.
'Boyfriend…I like the sound of that…' Tai thought grinning. He kissed her soundly on the lips, this time, well aware of what he is doing. He pushed his lips against hers, drinking in her sweet taste. His lips soon went down her face, crawled along her jaw and went to her neck where it trailed down to her collarbone. He rolled on top of her and felt her arms snake around his waist.
Sora closed her eyes and just felt. She brought her hand from Tai's waist and traced up his spine with a finger. She felt him arch to her touch and her hand went into his soft hair. She felt his lips trail down her neck down to her collarbone, but her shirt was blocking him from going any further. She heard him growl, then go back up her neck to her ear. She felt him nip then brush his lips over the outside of her ear. She let out a moan as she felt Tai's fingers trail up, and then back down her arms. She rolled him over onto the bed and rolled on top of him. She straddled him and then attacked his lips.
"You tease…" she muttered between kisses.
"I didn't do anything," Tai whispered, grinning. Sora smiled back at him and started kissing his neck. She felt Tai finger the bottom of her shirt. Sora's hands trailed down his chest, her lips soon following. She could feel his body burning up; hot to the touch.
She slowly kissed down his chest and started to feel something press against her stomach. She looked back up at Tai and raised an eyebrow. Tai just grinned innocently. Sora smiled and shook her head. She came back up and caught his lips once more as his hands ran through her crimson locks.
His hands found their way back down to the edge of her shirt and they went under it, making contact with Sora's warm yet very smooth skin. "Sora…" Tai mumbled. He closed his eyes, taking in all the feelings he was getting, just by kissing one girl. "I love you," he whispered over and over again as he kissed her neck, traveling over to her shoulder and down her arm. He flipped her over onto the bed so that he was on the top and kissed her stomach softly. He heard her giggle and he smiled.
Just then, Tai heard his room door bang open and he heard Kari say, "Tai, Sora, lunch is-" She immediately broke off her train of thought when she saw them on the bed together. "Sorry…" She said in a quite voice with a sheepish smile on her face. Tai turned and looked over his shoulder. He smiled, then laughed and shook his head. He climbed off of Sora and sat down on his bed cross-legged.
"Kari, it's ok. You've walked in on us one too many times, probably seeing more than you have to... but we can't very well kick you out of the house just like that can we?" Tai said laughing. Kari glared at him.
"You wouldn't dare to anyways," Kari countered.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it." Tai stated. "We'll come for lunch in a minute or two," Tai said as he hinted for her to leave the room. She nodded and left his room, closing the door behind her.
After she left, Tai noticed Sora was finally sitting up. "Isn't it a bit late for lunch though?" Sora asked him. Tai shrugged his shoulders.
"So I got up late." Tai said as he pulled her closer for another kiss. Sora smiled, kissed him on his lips and pulled back so quickly, that it left him wanting more. "Hey!" He exclaimed after she scrambled out of his bed and stood up. He stood up after her and went over to his desk to get his clothes.
"You know, I wouldn't mind if you went out like that." Sora said winking at him.
Tai grinned back at her. "I know you wouldn't mind, but Kari might." He said, laughing. He turned around and slipped his pants back on. Sora walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and kissed his shoulder.
"I love you," She said. Tai smiled and she released her arms to allow him to put his shirt on.
"Let's go get lunch." Tai said as he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
"It's all about you and your stomach, isn't it?" Sora said laughing.
"And you," said Tai as he placed a finger on the tip of her nose. Sora kissed his finger and started walking out his room door.
Tai walked out of his room and went to the dinning table where he saw his mom and dad sitting. He blinked a few times, just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. He heard Sora greet his parents then take a seat around the table. He grabbed the seat next to her and said 'hi' to his parents.
Kari brought some food she had cooked from the kitchen over to the dinning room and the four at the table served themselves. Kari took a seat at the table and started eating with them.
As Tai looked around the table, he thought, 'This is how life should be… my whole family together, forever.' He took a glance over at Sora and smiled.
The End
~*~
TGC: Hope this is a good enough ending for you! Thank you for all the reviews I have gotten for the first chapter! I really appreciate it. I started rewriting my previous story called 'Highschool Blues' and soon the whole plot changed into something totally different. Hope you liked this! It is a very short Taiora and it had more romance than I ever thought I would write. Ja ne!
