Playing The Part



Disclaimer: I have nowhere near enough
money to be claiming I own digimon…I am a poor, jobless student. The gist of it
is: Digimon = not mine!



A/N: Ahh, the first
chapter…I realise the prologue seemed a little slow and pointless, but it'll
get better! (I think) This is posted in Romance/Humour, but I want it to have a
bit of everything…drama, angst, the works really. Well, that's the plan! Again,
this is a Sorato / Yamora… basically, you don't like the coupling, don't read
and don't flame! Read, enjoy, review!

~* Chapter One: Fate Plays Weird Games *~



"Come on Sora!"




Reluctantly, she
allowed herself to be pulled down the hallway by her over-enthusiastic friend,
"Calm down, Asa-chan. The list isn't going anywhere, it'll still be there when
we arrive."



"But I wanna see if I
got a part!" Asami whined, beginning to run faster.



"I realise that,
but…couldn't you slow down a - whoa!" The rest of Sora's words were lost as she
was yanked down the hall, going as fast as it was humanly possible.



There were dozens of
people milling about, all of them as excited and on edge as Asami was. Happy
shrieks and disappointed groans could be heard all around, piercing the air
sharply.



"I got a part!" Asami
crowed, her jubilant face poking through the crowd, "I'm Lady Montague!!"



Sora forced a smile,
in truth all the people crowding around her was making her feel a little
claustrophobic, "That's really great Asa-chan." She couldn't help but feel a
little disappointed that her friend hadn't mentioned her getting a part. You
know you wouldn't get a part anyway… after all; it was a really bad
audition. "Can we go now?"



Asami looked at her
friend, "Good idea Sora-chan! Let's go celebrate! It's on me! It's perfect, I
get a part, you get a part… Where should we go? I think-"



"Wait a minute!" Sora
yelled, hushing the crowd for an instant, she sweatdropped, trying to look as
small as possible in front of all those eyes, "What did you say?" She asked in
a hushed voice, relieved when everyone returned to their previous
conversations.



Asami shot her a
slightly irritated, yet amused look, "I said we should go celebrate."



"No, no, no! The part
about me getting in the play!"



"Oh. Right, didn't
you know?" Asami gave her a mischievous grin, black hair swaying wildly as she
bounced up and down, "You got a part! You're gonna be Juliet!"



Sora went into shock,
"W-what?" She mumbled, the voices around her faded into a mumble.



"Sora-chan? Did you
hear me?" Asami asked, definitely amused by her friend's reaction, "Hello?"



Sora stared at her
friend for a moment, and then began fighting through the crowd, trying to get a
glimpse of the cast list. "Excuse me… oh! Gomen… If you'll just let me past…"
There, at the top of the cast list, was her name, "Juliet,

Takanouchi Sora…" She
murmured softly, not quite believing it, "I'm Juliet." She laughed; sure it was
some sort of insane joke.



"Sora-chan? Are you
okay?"



She laughed again,
"I'm just fine Asa-chan. You know what? I think you're right, this calls for a
celebration, how about ice cream?" Sora grinned widely, linking arms they
walked off, chattering happily.



(*)(*)(*)



He stood in the
doorway, debating whether or not to go in. He didn't belong there. Those people
were far too peppy, excited. He didn't see the thrill, and he was missing out
on band practise. His blue eyes scanned what he could see of the room, not one
familiar face. Figures. He walked in.



Yamato dumped his
schoolbag on one of the hard wooden seats; dozens like it filled the school
hall, with a sigh he sat down beside it, wishing he was anywhere but here.



"Oh my God! It's
Ishida Yamato!" A girlish squeal pierced the muted chatter. He winced, rolling
his eyes. In less then a minute, he was surrounded by most of the female cast.



"Yama-kun! I love you
so much!"



"Are you in the play,
Yama-kun?"



"Of course he is, you
baka! Yama-kun is multi-talented!"



"Can I have your
autograph?"



"What about a date
with me, Yama-kun?"

"Have you got a
girlfriend Yama?"



He stood up, "Ladies,
please. Give a guy some room." Then he
smiled what was commonly known as his 'lady-killer' smile, flashing his
perfect, white teeth. Several of the girls swooned and the rest instantly moved
a few steps back, following the orders of their beloved 'Yama-kun'. This
was a role he was comfortable with, Ishida Yamato, ladies man.



"Yamato? What are you
doing here?"



He turned in
surprise, Sora laughed gaily and he gave her a hug, both of them oblivious to
the envious stares from the waiting fangirls.



He grinned, raising
an eyebrow, "I could say the same for you y'know. You never struck me as the
drama type." He said, laughing.



She slapped him
lightly on the shoulder, "You always seemed more the music type to me."



He shook his head,
"You have no idea."



Abruptly, Sora was
pushed out of the way, and over-enthusiastic females once again surrounded
Yamato.



"Who is she,
Yama-kun?"



"Is that your
girlfriend?"



"No way! She
can't be Yama-kun's girlfriend! She's way too ugly!"



Sora was about to
give that particular girl a piece of her mind when Takani-sensai entered
the room, "People! A little quiet please!" An instant hush fell over the room.
"Now then," he continued, "Congratulations all of you, you've all earned your
parts in the play. Now then, Romeo will be played by Ishida Yamato -" Several
shrieks were heard,



"Yama-kun is so perfect
for the part!"



"I told you he
was multi-talented!"



Takani-sensai glared
around the room, "Thank you for the commentary ladies, now, if I could have
some quiet, we'd all be done a lot faster. Where was I? Oh yes, Juliet will be
played by Takenouchi Sora."



Yamato stared at his
friend in shock.



(*)(*)(*)



"How come you didn't tell me you were
going to audition?"



"Hmm?" Yamato kicked
at a pebble on the roadside absently, "I didn't actually have to audition."



"So they accepted you
on account of your previous acting experience right?" Sora asked, teasingly.



He grinned, "Of
course! You know me, I'm a man of many talents!" He claimed, winking
suggestively, "And not all of them can see the light of day."



Sora wrinkled her
nose, "That may work on your precious groupies, but it won't work on me
Ishida!"



"Damn. Ah well, it
was worth a shot." He said, acting disappointed.



The two of them fell
into a comfortable silence, Yamato stole a glance at Sora. He smiled slightly,
she was growing her hair longer and it looked…good. Whoa! Hold on, this is Sora.
Remember? A good friend? He couldn't help it. Funny how he'd never seen it,
she had become more feminine after the digital world, less of a tomboy. It was,
well…appealing. No! No, no, no! I'm her friend! I shouldn't be
thinking like this!



"Are you okay,
Yamato?"



"Huh?! Yeah, yeah,
I'm fine." He grinned weakly. "I was just…uh, thinking."



"Oh. About what?"
Sora asked innocently.



Yamato blushed,
"I-uh… nothing."



"Okay…" She said
doubtfully, studying him. Wonder what he was thinking about, he was starting
to look kinda sick. He still looked a little weird to her, not the calm,
cool Yamato she was used to seeing. He looked unsure of himself, she knew
Yamato better than most, and he was never unsure about anything. Even in the
digital world, he never seemed at a loss for words, uncertainty was not Yamato.



"We're here."



Sora snapped out of
her thoughts, they were standing outside her apartment building. She turned to
look at him, her eyes meeting his deep blue ones, and, for a moment, the rest
of the world disappeared.



(*)(*)(*)



His eyes, they're such an intense blue.
Why haven't I noticed it before? It's so easy to get lost in them…



(*)(*)(*)



She's got such perfect eyes. I've never
really noticed that they were such a unique colour. Wow…



(*)(*)(*)



The moment was over almost instantly.
Sora blinked, startled, then she smiled gently, "Thanks for walking me home,
Yamato."



"Anytime." He
grinned, "After all, you need someone big and strong to look after you." He
flexed his muscles proudly.



"So, why are you
walking me home then?"



He frowned teasingly,
"Why you -" She just laughed and began running, reaching the elevator in time
to get on.



"Bye Yamato!" She
waved, grinning.



The teasing note in
her voice goaded him, he reached the elevator just as the doors closed, "I'll
get you tomorrow, Sora!" He called, still laughing. He watched the elevator
make it's ascent, suddenly, the day seemed a little duller.
