Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ FACE OFF ❯ Playing the Same Game ( Chapter 5 )

"It was just so weird!" Tai said as he finished telling Sora about what had gone on earlier that day. Since Kai had stormed off with Takuya, Tai walked home with Vi and then went on to Sora's house like he had said he would.

"So what you're saying is that Kai slapped Vi and then denied it?" Sora asked.

"Yes! Well no. I DON'T KNOW! I never saw any of it happen. And Kai denies it and I believe her, because it's just not something she'd do. But then Vi was all like `She did it! She did it!' and why would Vi lie about something like that?" Tai buried his head in his hands.

"Well, they did go to the same Jr. High. Maybe they two of them are enemies or something" Sora suggested.

Tai shook his head "They both said that they didn't know each other"

"Tai, they may just be saying that!" Sora rolled her eyes.

Tai pondered on that thought. "Wow, maybe you're right."

There was a moment of silence as Tai and Sora stared at each other, neither really knowing what to say.

Tai finally broke the silence "So what am I helping you with?"

"Well the athletics festival is coming up and Takyua and I have been asked to do a lot of work on it! On top of that, we've got all those tests coming up and I thought I could study and be class representative and still be in the tennis club" Sora's eyes welled up with tears "but I can't do any of it!" Sora burst out crying.

Tai watched as the tears streamed down Sora's cheeks. He felt so bad that she was so stressed.

"All I wanted to do was be in the tennis club and do well in High school. I never asked to be picked to be class representative!" Sora sobbed.

"Aw, Sora it'll be alright! I promise you" Tai said patting her on the back.

Sora looked up at him "How can you be so sure?" she said wiping away the tears.

"You're not in this alone. You've got Takuya and I'll help out as much as I can. I won't let you get this stressed out again. You can count on me!" Tai smiled.

Sora's lips broke into a smile "Really?"

Tai nodded "Yup. And I'm sure that Matt would help out in his spare time if you ask him. You'd just have to work around his band schedule."

"Thank you so much Tai" Sora smiled brightly.

"Okay, so where do we start?" Tai asked.

Vi bounced the basketball a few times on the ground. She had a great time at basketball practice that night. For some reason public school clubs seemed a lot more fun than private school clubs.

Tai had walked her home after Kai had stormed off. Kai couldn't have played better into her trick. By storming off, Kai had accidentally made herself look guilty. She only needed a few more situations like that and Tai would be hers!

Vi laughed and then went inside for dinner.

"Hey Hana, you remember that girl Vi from Jr. High?" Kai asked as she grabbed a bottle of Poccari Sweat out of the fridge.

"Yeah. She was in my class this year but she wasn't at school today. Teachers made no mention of it." Hana replied.

"Well she transferred to public like me! And she's in my class! And she's after MY TAI!" Kai shouted the last words and slammed her bottle down on the counter for emphasis.

Hana laughed and Kai glared at her.

"What's so funny?" she asked questioningly at her twin.

Hana tried to hide her smile "Well it's just you've forgotten that Tai isn't yours" Kai glared at her and Hana quickly added "yet"

"I know but now it's going to be harder! And the little whore slapped me and then told Tai that I had slapped HER! And then he believed her!" Kai was fuming.

"Well why you don't talk to Tai and tell him what happened." Hana suggested.

"Naw… It'll be more fun to beat her at her own game!" Kai smiled evilly.

"Hey Kai!" Tai said cheerfully the next morning as she sat down in her seat in front of him. Kai just ignored him.

"Aren't you going to talk to me?" Tai asked questioningly.

"Why would I talk to someone who won't even stand by me?" Kai asked not looking at him and placing her school books on her desk.

"Kai are you still bitter about yesterday?" Tai asked. Kai didn't reply.

"I'll take that as a yes then…" Tai muttered.

Kai turned around and glared at him. "I though you were my friend! And then this girl who you've known for one day tells you that I slapped her when I didn't! And you side with her!"

"Kai, I'm not on anyone's side. I didn't see what went on so I'm just going to pretend that it didn't happen. I don't think that you slapped her but I'm not sure why she says you do. So I'm just going to stay out of it and let you two work out your differences. I just don't want to get stuck in the middle." Tai said.

Kai's eyes softened. "So you're letting it go?"

Tai nodded. "Please don't be mad at me! I don't think I'd live though soccer practice tonight. You'd kill me on the field!" he winked at her.

Kai burst out laughing "Okay, okay I forgive you!"

Tai laughed as well "But will you please try to get along with Vi?"

Kai nodded with a glint in her eye "You bet I'll try my best"

It was gym class time and everyone was walking down the stairs to the change room. Vi was right in front of Kai and Tai was just behind them. They were almost to the bottom, only three steps to go when Kai nudged Vi ever so slightly. Vi tripped and fell down those last three steps landing flat on her face. Tai looked up just in time to see Vi fall.

"Oh Vi! Are you alright?" Kai asked ever so sweetly.

Vi turned and glared looking at her knowing what Kai was up to.

"Here let me help you up" Kai reached out a hand and Vi grabbed a hold squeezing it very hard.

"Thank you so much" Vi said though clenched teeth.

"You should be more careful on the stairs. You wouldn't want to hurt yourself now would you?" Kai smiled sugary sweet at Vi.

"Yeah Vi, you should be more careful" Tai added.

Takuya fell instep with Kai "You gonna wait for us after class to walk back for lunch?" he asked Kai.

"Don't you have a lunch meeting? I though Sora said something about one" Kai asked.

Takuya clenched his fist and stamped his foot. "Right, I do…. Oh well I'll see you at Soccer right?"

Kai nodded and turned to Tai "You'll eat lunch with me though right?"

"Yup, Vi you can eat with us too!" Tai smiled.

Vi and Kai shot daggers at each other.

"Thanks. I think I will" Vi smiled at Tai.
