Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ FACE OFF ❯ Declaration of War ( Chapter 4 )

Vi spotted Tai and Takuya talking in the hallway. She had just barley changed into her gym clothes and noticed that Tai and Takuya had done the same. She was on her way to the gym for her first basketball club meeting. She decided that she could be late especially if it was for Tai.

"Hey Tai!" Vi called out as she ran up to meet them.

"Oh hey Vi!" Takuya smiled.

Tai's face lit up which made butterflies flutter in her stomach.

"Vi! Now you can meet Kai!" Tai said happily "Kai..." he looked around but there was no one else with them.

Takuya shook his head "Didn't you hear her? She said she was going to head off to the field alone"

"Oh… Well I guess you'll just have to meet her another time" Tai said sheepishly. He then noticed that she was wearing her gym clothes. "Did you join one of the clubs?"

Vi nodded. She was actually very pleased that Kai wasn't around. Now was time to work her magic. "Yeah I joined the basketball club. I think we get out around the same time as the soccer club. Maybe do you want to meet up afterward?"

"Oh… well Kai and I usually walk home together. But you could join us! I'm sure that she wouldn't mind" Tai said grinning.

Vi was very satisfied with herself. That was the exact answer that she had been hoping for. "I'd love to!"

"Okay, Kai and I usually meet at the bike racks after we get changed. We can just wait for you there too" He said.

"Sounds great. I'll see you then okay? But for now I better run" she smiled "wouldn't want to be late for my first club meeting" Vi waved goodbye and continued on down the hallway to the gym.

`Mission accomplished' Vi thought to herself.

"Kai I think you're getting better everyday" Takuya said as they walked back toward the school. He stuck his hand out and started to mess up her hair. "You're pretty good for a girl"

Kai pushed his hand away "Hey stop that!" she laughed.

"No Kai, you really are playing well" Tai said.

"That's a big complement from the almighty Tai, God of Soccer" Takuya teased.

Tai and Kai both burst into laughter and Takuya joined them.

"So I'll meet you at the same Bat time? Same Bat channel?" Kai smiled at Tai.

"Yeah!" Tai said "Oh yeah! The new girl, Vi, she joined the basketball club and they finish the same time we do, so I told her she could walk with us!"

Kai nodded "Sounds fun! The more the merrier! It's nice that you're welcoming her! I'm sure that she appreciates it!"

Tai just loves to surround himself with beautiful women!" Takuya spoke jealously.

"Hey! And what do you call me!" Kai said slightly offended.

"Aren't you always hanging out with him too? You're one of them!" Takuya crossed his arms as he spoke "I'm so busy being class representative that when I'm done, there won't be any left for me!"

Kai laughed and placed her arm around Takuya's shoulder.

"There, there. There, there" she spoke, trying to keep a straight face.

Vi was excited that Tai was the first of the two to show up. That just meant more time for them alone.

"Kai usually doesn't take this long" Tai said laughing nervously "I'm sorry to make you wait! She must be talking to someone!"

"That's okay! I don't mind" Vi said "Why don't you tell me more about yourself?"

Tai laughed again "What would you want to know about me?"

"You could start with your family" Vi smiled.

"Okay" Tai said, "I've got a little sister, her name is Kari. She's in Jr. High. My mom mostly stays at home and she's a semi-health nut with a thing for strange recipes that never work. I think I've finally become immune to her cooking" Tai smiled as Vi laughed at his joke.

Tai then continued "My dad works at an office downtown. Other than that I'm just a normal kid. But I'm sure you're family is much more exotic than mine, being rich and all!"

Vi shook her head "Actually I'm adopted. I don't see my adoptive parents much at all. Mostly I'm with Whinston, our butler. He's my best friend. I don't have any siblings. It must be nice having a little sister! I've always wished that I could have one!"

Just then Kai ran up "Sorry I'm so late! Takuya had to talk with me forever!"

Tai smiled even more brightly "Finally you two can meet! Vi this is Kai"

Kai smiled "Nice to meet you"

Tai then continued "Kai this is Vi"

Vi bowed her head slightly and smiled up at Kai "Nice to meet you as well"

"TAI!" Takuya yelled from the other side of courtyard as he ran up to the group.

Tai turned his back to the girls and Vi went into working mode. This was her chance while he wasn't looking.

Kai put her hand out to shake Vi's and Vi just glared at her and slapped it away. Tai turned to see what had happened.

Vi then changed her face to look shocked and hurt and she cradled her hand close to her. Vi could see that Kai had started to glare at her. It was just as she had planned it.

"What happened?" Tai asked throwing confused looks between the two girls.

Vi spoke up quickly before Kai had a chance "I tried to shake her hands with Kai and she slapped my hand away!" she said with a whimper in her voice.

Tai looked at Kai even more confused "Kai??"

"I… What?? I'd never… Tai you know…" Kai sputtered.

"Look! Look's she's denying it!" Vi said. Things were working out perfectly.

"Kai?... Maybe you should say you're sorry or something…?" Tai said confused.

"Why should I have to say sorry? I did nothing wrong!" Kai shot back.

Takuya, finally reaching the group had no clue what was going on "Is something wrong?"

Kai looked at Takuya "Well if you're going to be like that I'll just walk with Takuya!" Kai yelled and stormed off with a very confused looking Takuya.

Vi smiled to herself as Tai scrached his head.

"That's weird… Kai never acts like that… Maybe she's just been having a bad day. She seemed really happy about having you along earlier!" Tai said, still not fully comprehending what had gone on between them.

"Who knows… Do you want to still walk home?" Vi said sweetly.

***

Kai was fuming. She couldn't believe what Vi had done. And that Tai had taken her side. I mean who's friend was he? Didn't he trust her? She was still dragging Takuya behind her as she stormed down the street.

Kai knew exactly what was going on. Vi was stepping on her turf. Kai would have none of that. None of that at all!

Kai stopped and stood in the middle of the side walk and screamed to the sky "THIS MEANS WAR!!!!!"

Takuya was a little scared "Kai? Are you okay??
