No Wings To Fly

5. Touching You Is More Than I Can Bare

I entered the shop. My mom was busy attempting some customers but she glared at me, pissed off. I went to the back and changed to my work clothes, cause I still had my uniform from school. When I came back the costumer had left. My mom was up, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Where were you? I thought I've told to come after school, didn't I?" she shouted. "Yeah, but I had some things to do." I said, ignoring her glares. She stepped to me. "What are you implying, Takenouchi Sora? I told you to come and you should have come because I'm your mother and you must do what I told you to." She said.

Enough was enough. I'm not a puppy that she can give orders for mw to follow blindly. I was about to answer, but something interrupted me. Another customer arrived. My mom quickly changed subject. Like she said, the costumers don't need to be informed of our problems. She told me to go water the flowers and so I went. I didn't want a scene either, especially because the costumer was Taichi's mother.

I left to the back, and started watering the plants, but as I did, my mind flew away to other stops, like the thing that had happened earlier that day. First the thing with Mimi, then Kay appearing from no where and that kiss. Oh God, what was happening to me? And all the time I couldn't stop thinking of Taichi. He was the reason for all my problems. Oh, and let's not forget the chat with Hikari. Man, why is everyone so worried about me? It was just a cigarette. Okay, maybe two, but no one needed to know about that one. Besides it was my fucking life. I think I can do what I want with it, can't I?

My thoughts were stopped by the sound of steps. My mother entered the back room with annoyance in her face. I was waiting for another yelling but instead… "Sora, Takeru and Hikari are outside and they want to ask you something." She said, rage in her voice. I gave her a sick smile and went to the shop. I could hear her cursing. "Damn it. Does everyone has to step in when I'm ready to give that brat what she deserves?" I laughed quietly at myself.

At the shop, T.K. an Hikari were waiting for me. Hikari was watching the flowers that we had at the shop and Takeru watched her delighted. I could see the bright in his eyes. I felt envious for their happiness. I forced a cough so they could notice my presence. They looked at me and smiled. There were no stares this time.

"So, my mom told me you wanted to talk." I said. They both nodded, but they didn't day anything. I looked at them with the what look.

"Can we speak outside?" Hikari said. I got suspicious. Speaking outside? What the hell did she want to speak to me? Was it some kind of top secret subject' Anyway I agreed. I was anxious to get out of there anyway.

We stepped outside, but I guess that wasn't enough for them cause they kept walking until we reach the end of the street, to a corner. I followed them, hands in pockets not really caring where they were taking me.

Finally, we stopped and they both turned around to me. They looked to synchronized robots. I laughed at my own thought and I couldn't help noticing that after smoking that joint, I was really much happier than before. Kay was right. It did work.

Takeru and Hikari looked at me confused but they quickly turn back to what they wanted so badly to talk with me. "Look Sora." Takeru started, giving unsure looks to Hikari that encouraged him with a little push on his shirt's sleeve. "We asked you to com here, because we wanted to talk to you about Kay."

I looked at the ground. Not again. Why does everyone keeps insisting that Kay it's a bad guy? "What's the matter with you all? Kay is cool. Why do you keep telling bad about him?" I shouted.

"But Sora, that's not truth. My brother says he consumes drugs and he misses classes to hang around with his drugged friends." Takeru said. I shook my head. "No. He just smokes and smoking is not a crime or is it?"

"That depends in what kind of cigarette you smoke. What do you think he gave you at the party? Are you aware of the troubles you can get into with that?" Hikari said. I didn't want to listen anymore. They were lying. It was all a lie. Kay was good, he was my friend and he cared about me, and nothing else mattered.

"That was just once Hikari." I stated. But Hikari kept attacking. "But that's how it's starts. With one. And then you want another and another and in no time you'll be addicted." "No. I won't because I'm strong. I'll overcome it." I said. Hikari was really annoyed. I could see it in her eyes. She release Takeru's arm that she was holding and pushed me against the wall, catching me out of guard. I winced as my ribs beat against the hard wall.

"You'll overcome it? You couldn't even accept the fact that my brother is dating another girl, or you're going to deny it too?" she shouted. That was the last drop. I didn't have and wouldn't take that from anyone, anyone. I pushed her so hard that if it wasn't for T.K. she had fallen to the ground.

"I won't take this Kari. You have no right to talk to me like that, no one has. And if I'm sad for Tai dating another girl is because I love him, okay? But that doesn't mean I don't understand him. So don't come to speak to me like I'm some kind of brat that doesn't know what she's doing. And about Kay, as Tai has the right to be happy I have too. And if he doesn't love him like I love him, I have the right to be loved by someone else okay? And Kay likes me." I yelled at her and then ran into the shop again.

Tears started falling through my face. I could feel them. I was so angry. Angry at my mom, angry at Hikari and Takeru and especially angry at Taichi. It was his entire fault. I wiped the tears to the back of my hand and entered the shop. My mom was waiting for me.

"So, is the chat over?" she shouted. "Stop crying about nothing and start working your lazy girl. Go wash the back room. I want to see it shining."

I did as she told me. I was to sad to argue about and in fact it wouldn't worth the effort because the only thing I could get was another couple of slaps and going to bed without dinner, since lunch had passed already.

The day went without any more problems as if the ones I had weren't already bad enough. I couldn't sleep at night and like the night before I stood up and logged on the internet were I spend the first hour of the morning, listening to Linkin Park.

In the morning I stood up and went to school before my mother woke up. I wanted to see Kay. I hoped he would be there because I didn't knew his schedule so I didn't knew if he had class in the morning, since he was a year older than me.

For my unhappiness, he wasn't there yet. I went to the secretary and asked for his schedule and for my happiness he had class that morning. I sat on a bench, anxiously waiting.

Suddenly I heard a noise from behind me. I turned hoping it was Kay, since he had the habit to snick quietly and silently. But it wasn't. My eyes fell to the ground and my heart drowned as I saw Taichi entering the school but he wasn't alone. Hikari, Takeru and Tsubane were with him. I try to get out of there before they got the chance to see me but too late I guess.

"Hey Sora." I heard the voice that had haunted my dreams since ever. Clear and beautiful but still strong and full of confidence. I cursed under my breath, my stupid thought of going sooner to school.

I sat on the bench again and waited for the devil to arrive. He was the first as always, trying to be the leader that everyone follows without complaining. The one that I would have made anything for him. Tsubane was right behind him. She smiled wide at me. The girl was nice but I hated her for taking Taichi away from me.

She leaned to greet me but I stood and shook her hand. She looked a little confuse but she ended by shaking also. "Hi Sora. I've heard a lot about you." She said. Yeah, I bet she heard, and it wasn't nice for sure. Next came Taichi. "Hey, I haven't seen you for ages. How's my best friend?" he asked and walked in my direction, his arms open, to hug me. Hikari and Takeru followed him as they watched carefully my reaction. I could bet they have done it on purpose.

I didn't allow Tai to hug me. I pushed his arms down and sat again. He looked surprise at me and so did the others. I didn't care. I didn't want him o touch me, cause then I would suffer even more knowing it could be in his arms and not Tsubane.

"Yeah, long time." I said. He sighed and sat down next to me. I guess the girl sensed something wrong and went to meet T.K. and Hikari. We women have a sixth sense o this kind of stuff.

"Are you angry with me?" he asked. I looked at a flower without particular interest, just trying to avoid his eyes. Of course I was angry at him, but why would he ask, and I wouldn't be able to tell him the answer. "No, I'm not angry with you Tai." I said faking a smile. But it was so faked, so illusory that he noticed right away.

"Don't lie. I'm your best friend and I can tell if you angry or sad anytime." He told me and placed his hand on mine. There were times, when we were friends that I wouldn't mind him doing that, but not now. I retrieved my hand instantly and the soft rub of his hand on my bandaged hand made him noticed it. He quickly grabbed my hand back.

"What is this?" he asked. "I cut myself accidentally." I replied, maybe too quickly. Taichi raised an eyebrow. "And you needed to bandage your all hand? That must have been a hell of a cut." He eyed me suspicious. I avoided his gaze and took my hand back. It was enough. I could feel the unhappiness coming again. I wouldn't allow him to see me cry, not once, ever.

"I've got to go." I said standing up. Then I run in to the school building. I could feel them staring. My eyes had betrayed me by crying without my knowledge allowing the love of my life to see one tear rolling down my cheek.

I run to the girl's bathroom, but I bumped in a person. I cried convulsively and my vision was blurred. I only recognize the person when I felt his hand on mine helping me up.

"What happened, Sor? Why are you crying?" Kay asked. I jumped to his arms, making him beat against the opposite wall and cried even harder on his shoulder. He embraced me and caressed my hair and my back. I felt safe in his arms. I felt that someone loved me.

I stopped and looked into his green eyes. I felt his hands caressing softly my hair. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Our lips touched and he kissed me back aggressively.

Hi hands pulled me closer to him and I felt his chest beating against mine and his heart beating fast, like mine. I didn't want to pull apart. He turned and pulled me against the wall. Our bodies were so close that I almost felt his ribs in my body. I felt his tongue inside my mouth and I moaned.

We only broke apart for breathing.

So, did you like it. I know, less Kay more Tai, but I did put Tai into this one. And Kay, well, I know you mustn't have like this last part, but I needed him to comfort (and kill) Sora. Very sorry. Gomen.
