The Love that Binds: Chapter 6

December 13th 3 days after….

Sora was nursing Li, she rocked back and forth in the rocking chair looking sad. Tai was busying himself with finding out why his daughter died but he stopped after everything was starting to getting to him so he started to work on the case involving the poster and school and Saria's teacher not liking her.

……………

Saria had gone to school it was Friday morning. Tai was sitting at his desk in the living room, he had books in front of him, and wearing some reading glasses which he had gotten a few months back after an eye exam told him he couldn't see read. Needless to say he was angry but after numerous encouragements due to Sora's part finally got them.

Flashback……

"Sora this is stupid." He said as he browsed through the window sections. "I'm only like 25 and I don't need glass so I can read." He said. "Tai like I said before come and try some on." She pushed him a little, a sales representive came up to them. "Can I help you with anything?" he asked.

"N..." Tai was interrupted by Sora "Yes you can. Can you tell me were the men's selection of eye glasses are?" she asked. "Yup." He walked over to a self. "These are all here." He said. "Thank you." Sora said to him politely.

Sora took a small pair from the bottom shelf; she turned to Tai who wasn't paying attention. "Tai?" she asked. "Yeah."

"Put these on." She said handing him the small lenses frame. "Sora…. this is stupid…" Sora raised her eyebrows at him. "Okay, okay…" he put them on. Sora smiled. "Oh wow…you look sexy." She whispered. "I do?" he asked he looked himself in the mirror. "Your just saying that Sora." He said.

"No I'm not." She went up to him then whispered in his ear. "Will you put on a thong for me and wear those glasses…then that would be really sexy." she pulled away from him looking at his expression that still hadn't changed he then started to blush a dark red with embarrassment. "Sora…. there is no way I am going to do that!" he cried Sora laughed. "Oh come on … just for me…I'll wear what you want to see me in?" she asked. "No! It doesn't matter how appealing that offer just was I won't do it." He said. "How about we go take a trip to the lingerie store, see if that will changes your mind." She replied.

End flashback…..

'I will never ever wear that thing again.' He thought, the phone rang shaking Tai of his thoughts he picked it up. "Hello?" he said into the receiver. "Mr. Kamiya this the principal Mr. Fuyuyama calling I just wanted to say that we've found the person who made that poster." He said.

"Oh that's good…tell me the names of those kids." Tai asked sounding demanding of sorts. "I can't do that." He said. "WE HAD A PROMISE NOW TELL ME!" Tai raised his voice. Sora watched as Tai talked on the phone, she didn't care if he yelled at the school they deserved it.

"I told you that we've found out the kids who did this and…" Tai interrupted him. "Right and I'm going to go to the stupid school and talk to them myself would you like that?" he questioned. "Don't act so hostile Mr. Kamiya I know your mad."

"Mad?? Do you think I'm mad I'm furious cause of this. My little girls teacher abuses her rights and now some of her classmates took pictures of me and my wife kissing to deliberately hurt my daughter!" he yelled bitterly. "Please clam down." Mr. Fujuyma. "I won't till I get the names of those kids!" he shouted.

"They'll sue the school if I let you have that information…now please understand Mr. Kamiya." By this time Tai was boiling over in anger. "Don't worry they won't have enough money to be able to sue the school." He said grinding his teeth. "I can't take that risk Mr. Kamiya now can you not insist that I tell you those name…Good day Mr. Kamiya." The principal hung the phone up. Tai slammed the phone down on it's cradle.

"What's wrong Tai?" Sora watched him. "He wouldn't tell me the names of those kids that made that poster." Tai said he took out the poster from his desk and put it out in front of them. "It's stupid." He said.

"Well Tai….we could always hire a private detective." Sora suggested. Tai turned around to face is wife with a smile. "Sora you're the smartest woman ever." He walked over to her, kissed her lips gently. "The last couple of days have been hard…but you always mange to make me smile and feel happy…." She trailed off her voice had cracked a bit. "We'll get through this together like I said." He whispered, he wipes some tears that had fallen down her cheek. Sora nodded and sighed; Tai took a chair from the Island in the kitchen. And sat down next to Sora who was breast-feeding Li.

"How's he doing?" he asked. "Fine but I think he's beginning to fall asleep." She whispered to him, Tai rubbed Sora's back a little.

Obadia Elementary School…..recess….

"Saria?" Davis came over to her she was sitting by herself on the picnic table her head on the table. "Davis…what are you doing?" she asked. "I was playing soccer over there with the guys and I was wondering if you wanted to join." He asked she shook her head.

"I don't feel like to…do you know what happened…Mia and her friends are making fun of me cause my dad came to school and sat in class." She replied. "It wasn't noticeable Saria. I know my dad wouldn't do that…your dad has a lot of courage in him." He told her. Saria frowned.

"Yeah but he's too…courageous." She said she put her head down on the table again. She felt here tears weld up her eyes. "how come I don't have that huh Davis?" she asked she looked at him tears in her eyes. Davis didn't know what do to when she cried…so he cautiously sat down next to her and patted her back.

"What do you mean? You do have courage." Davis said. "Look at all those goals you scored it took courage to play on the boys soccer team. Right?" he questioned unsure.

Mina came to them. "Mina help she's crying…" he said to her trailing off. "Davis move please." Mina pushed him out of the way. "Saria are you okay?" she asked.

"No…….." she cried, her tears had soaked through her fleece pullover sleeve. "Maybe you want to go talk to a teach or something…. and go home." Mina suggested.

Saria nodded at her friends words she wiped her eyes with her sleeves. "Saria I'm going to go over there and play the rest of the game okay?" he asked her, Saria shook her head furiously. "NO stay with me Davis…please." She cried out, Davis watched her in surprise. "I…Are you sure you want me to stay?" he asked. She nodded once again. "Come on Davis." Mina directed him toward the entrance of the school.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

TK, Matt, Mimi, Kari all sat around the kitchen table they talking. "I feel so bad for them both." Mimi said she wiped some of her left over tears she still had since the funeral yesterday. "So do I." Matt replied he played with a piece of paper that was in front of him. They sat there in silence until Matt felt he was being watched and turned around in his chair.

"Are you okay Matt?" Kari asked Mimi and TK both looked at him. He frowned simplify "I felt like some one is watching me just a second ago." He said. "Have you gone a little wacko brother?" TK questioned him. "I haven't gone nuts if that's what you mean." Matt told him.

"Just checking." He said. "Okay can you two stop it." Kari said standing at the table. Mimi sat there agreeing with her silently. Mimi smiled suddenly.

"oh guess what!" she cried. "What?" Matt asked her. "I was just think about this but after when TK and Kari get married we'll all be related sort of." She said.

"Oh yeah…true." Kari said. "You and Matt will be my sister and brother in laws, It's cool." She replied. "I guess…this means we will all be attending those big family reunion's right." Matt said.

"Pretty much." Kari said.

…………………….

Sora put Li sleep; Tai was still in the corner working on the papers and stuff. Sora watched him; her eyes tear up as she watched him working. She sat down on the couch and turned on the TV, she flipped through the channels.

She blinks back her tears from falling. "Tai….I need you…" she cried. Tai immediately got up he went to his wife. "I can't live with is." She cried into his shoulder. "Shh…." He whispered to her, Sora hugged him tightly. She slowly pulled away from him.

"Tai I'm going to go to the main house okay." Sora said to him he nodded "Are you going to take Li with you?" he asked. "No can you watch him." She asked. "Okay hon. I will." He replied. Sora got her coat from the rack and started to put her running shoes on, Tai helped her up. "I'll make us dinner tonight." Tai said to her, Sora smiled at him gratefully. "I'd love that Tai thank you." She said, she kissed him on his lips softly. They stood there for a few about 30 seconds of kissing. "I love you." She said to him. "I love you too." Tai said to her. Sora left closing the door behind her Tai watched her clutch her self in the cold December air, then knock on the door of his parent's house.

He went back to his desk slowly and sat down and took the glasses off. 'I've got to make her feel better.' He thought he wiped his tears away in his eyes. "For my whole family." He said. He looked at the pictures of the twins they took about last week. 'I can't think like this anymore.' He thought. He looked down at his desk noticed the paper he was writing had tear drops on it. "Damn it!" he whispered.

The phone rang again, he groaned and picked it up. "Hello." He said. "Dad is that you?" Saria voice said, Tai gasped she was crying he knew she had been. "Saria sweetie what's wrong?" he asked. "All the bad girls in my class are making fun of me cause you came and sat down in class. How come you lied to me daddy!" she cried. "Saria I sorry if they were making fun of you." He said to her.

Tai's heart broke as she started to cry. "Saria I'm going to pick you up okay." He said. "Can…. Davis…come too…and…Mina…." She asked. "We will see…I got to call there parents first and…." Saria began to cry again. Tai closed his eyes. "Okay, Okay…. darling. shhh…I'll see what I can do okay." He told her. "Okay." She replied softly.

He hung the phone up and called the house. "Hello." "Kari, great can you come here and watch my baby…I got to go to school and pick up Saria." He said to her. "Okay I'll tell her." she replied. "And tell Sora that I went to pick her up too okay." Tai said. "Yup okay I will Tai." She said and hung the phone up.

"Sora Tai said that he is going to pick up Saria and he wants me to go over there and watch Li for him." Kari said, Sora smiled. "Okay…" Sora replied. Kari smiled and waved at everyone. She left out the door to the guesthouse. "Sora you don't want to watch Li?" Mimi asked. "No Mimi that's not it…I was feeling sad…so I came here to be with friends that's all. It's confusing to explain." She said she looked at the three of them. "We will be related and all soon you know that." Sora said happy. "I know and I can't wait." Mimi cried out happily.

"Oh Mimi can I talk to you." Sora said seriously. "Okay…we can talk in the living room." she said. The two girls got up and left.

"Okay I guess it's you and me now" TK said. "Looks like that…hey has Kari talked to Mimi yet?" Matt asked him, TK only looked at him strangely. "Well not as I know of…why?" TK asked. "Well because Mimi had been acting strange about something…but I don't know what it is." Matt replied. "Oh…I haven't a clue if Kari has talked to Mimi." TK told his brother, Matt looked down at the table.

…………..

"Mimi have you told Matt the news yet?" Sora asked in a whisper, Mimi closed her eyes and groaned. "Oh my gosh I totally forgot about that." She said. "Mimi how can someone forget that you are pregnant?" Sora asked.

"Sora are you sure that you want to talk about my pregnancy after what happen with Maiko?" Mimi asked. Sora looked down at the floor then back up at her best girlfriend. "It's okay….it's like what Tai said to me yesterday….things happen for a reason…and we have to move on with our lives it will be more difficult if we don't." She said, Mimi gasped amazed. "Tai said that?" she asked Sora nodded. "Mimi he's not the way he was when he was younger he's grown into a wonderful person who's my husband and my friend and not to mention a loving father." She said to her.

Mimi nodded. "Yeah…I'm sorry for my reaction I haven't been around you guys long enough to notice a change in him." She said to her. "Okay well I haven't told Matt. Yet." She said.

"Mimi…how are you two supposed to have a relationship if you can't be honest with one another." She said in sort of annoyed voice. "I will tell him once the time is right."

"The time is right now. Mimi go and tell him." Sora pushed her best friend. Mimi began to cry. "No…. he won't want it!" she yelled through her tears. Sora looked back to the kitchen she sighed. "Come on Mimi let's talk in one of the spare bedrooms." Sora offered. Mimi nodded and the two girls go up and started up the stairs.

Maids house just 5 feet away from the main house.

"Hello Madison is it?" Clare Huzt the head housekeeper said. "Yes that's me." She looked to the ground "This is a really interesting family." Madison said. "Yeah they are a lovely family very caring." Clare said. "Can I ask who Mimi and Matt are?" she asked.

"They are Kevin Kamiya's son Tai's best friend and his wife. It was quite a lovely reception they held right here at the house 2 years ago." Clare said remembering the festivities that happened here. "Oh…I see if you excuse me I'm going to my room." Madison said she walked to the end of the hall way unlocked her door and entered her room then closing the door.

"Bitch. She dug her nails into my guy!" she shouted quietly. "'It was quite a lovely reception'…. Give me a break she forced him into this relationship Matt loves me!" she cried. Brittany carefully removed her contacts relieve her true coloured eyes which were brown.

And threw herself on her bed. She looked around then got off her bed and dug into her duffle bag. And pulled out a wade of money that her parents had given her and she had buried it somewhere in her back yard for a number of years.

"…I have to get rid of her some how. A way that will not incriminate me." She thought to herself.

***************

Tai pulled into the school kiss and drop off area. Tai saw that Davis and Mina coming with Saria they walked toward the car. Saria opened the door and got into the front seat while Davis and Mina both got into the back seat.

"Hi Davis Mina how are you two doing today?" Tai asked. "Hi Mr. Kamiya." The both replied. "I trust you called your parents and told them you were coming to our house right?" Tai asked them. "Yeah…my mom said I can stay the night if Saria wants me too." Mina told him. "Oh well we do have the room so you're welcome to." Tai replied. He started the car and drove out of from the school.

"So how was your day?" Tai asked. She glared at her dad. "Not funny…. people keep making fun of me and some keep on saying things." She said to him. "I'm sorry honey but I had to go and sit in class to see something out." He replied.

"No you didn't dad you embarrassed me!" she shouted. "Saria." He said. "I don't want to talk to you." She said, Tai sighed.

Mina and Davis were quite the rest of the way, to the house. Once they pulled into the driveway they did the daily routine of checking in with the guards. Then entered the house grounds. Tai parked the car they all got out. "Okay um you three go to that house I'm going to go back and get your little brother and were coming over to go over to my parents house." He said. "Fine…come on Davis and Mina." Saria said she headed to her grandma's house.

Tai walked into the his house he saw Kari she was reading something standing in front of his desk. "Kari what are you looking at?" he asked her Kari turned startled of her brother's voice. "Tai what's this?" she asked him holding up the poster. "It's a stupid poster that was plastered all over the wall of the school." Tai said to her. "So that's the reason that Sora told me to take Saria on a shopping spree." She gasped.

"Yeah that's why…. Sora and I haven't told Saria about our actions when we were 17." Tai said to his sister. "Tai…when are you guys planning on telling her then?" she asked. "When she older to understand, sex." Tai replied. "As a lesson?" she questioned. "Yeah like don't do this with anyone or this could happen lesson." Tai said as he walked passed his sister he put the poster down on the desk. "Now I'm going to get Li ready and were going to head over to my mom's okay." He said walking into the bedroom. He gently took out Li and put him in the carrier. "Okay Tai I'll see you over there then." She said getting her coat and shoes on and exited the house.

************

"Hi Uncle TK and Uncle Matt." Saria said as she greeted both of them. "Hi Saria, Who's your friends?" Matt asked her. "Oh this is Davis and this is Mina." She said. The two waved and Saria dragged them to some part of the house.

Kari came through the door next she gave TK a kiss. "Tai's coming in a second. Where did Sora and Mimi go?" she asked. "They went to talk." TK told her.

……………….

"Okay tell me what happened that has gotten you this upset?" Sora asked. "When you and Tai left that evening where we all had dinner here…Matt starting talking about how Tai changed…and that he missed the bubby buddy relationship with him…He doesn't get it! He never will." She cried.

"Mimi….I have no Idea what your talking about. But sure he misses his and Tai's relationship but I don't see what that affect yours and Matt's relationship?" she asked. "It makes all the difference Sora." Mimi began to sob, Sora sighed gave Mimi a hug. "I don't understand where you're coming from Mimi." Sora told her. "I'm talking about him…Matt's no where near the responsibilities of being a father…he doesn't even care that I'm here that I have feelings…. all he cares about is his stupid guy games that he plays with his friends and sex that's what I'm only good for." She cried.

"MIMI!" Sora cried. "How can you think that!" she asked. "That's how I feel right now and if he doesn't want this baby, and then I won't have it." Mimi said getting up, she walked out of the door. Sora got up and chased her. "Mimi wait!" Sora cried. She chased her to her and Matt's room. Mimi had the door locked. Sora knocked. "Mimi what are you doing?" she asked. "Nothing Sora go see your husband." Mimi said to her.

Sora sighed "Okay you know what I'll talk to Matt for you then." Sora said a bit of an angry streak in her voice.

*****************

Tai, TK, Kari and Matt all sat down at the table eating some chips and talking…until "YAMATO ISHIDA!" Sora yelled, Tai jumped in his seat, TK and Kari both looked up to see Sora coming though the dinning room table Matt cringed at his full name. "Hi honey." Tai said to her she smiled at Tai. 'Matt's going to get.' Tai thought.

"Matt stand up for second." Sora demanded him. "Okay fine but…" before he could finish his sentence he felt Sora's hand slam against his cheek really hard. "OW!! What the fuck did you do that for?!" Matt yelled at her. Tai, TK and Kari both watched in shock.

"That was for Mimi." She said angrily. "Mimi!? What for?!" he shouted. "Okay clam down you two." Tai said he got up and stood in between his wife and Matt. "Ask your wife what's her problem." Matt asked Tai. "My problem I talked to Mimi. She feels lonely Matt…don't you reassure her that you love her or something?" Sora questioned angry still. "I do! I tell her that I love her all the time." He said.

"She doesn't sound happy!" Sora said to him. "Mimi's been acting like that for the week already I don't know what to do!" he yelled. "You don't know what to do? What kind of stupid excuse is that?" Sora asked. "Okay Sora come with me." Tai said he took his wife by her arm gently and brought her out side of the house.

…………..

Mimi had the phone book opened on her bed she dialed a number. "This is Obadia Medical Center, How can I help you?" the receptionist asked. "Hi I need to schedule an appointment for an abortion, as soon as possible please." She replied. "I'll check what openings we have………….okay there is an opening for next Friday at 9:00am is that fine?" she asked. "Yes it is. Could you contact me for any cancellations?" she said to her. "Okay could I have your name please and number?"

"Yeah Mimi Ishida, the number is 709-8873." Mimi said to her. "Thank you have a nice day." The receptionist said to her and hung up.

"Yeah and I'm having a wonderful day." Mimi thought sadly.

………….

"Tai you didn't need to do that." Sora said to him. "Sora you nearly could have killed him…if I let you stay there." Tai said. She smiled at him. "I could have?" she asked. "Sora this insist exactly an laughing matter." He said trying to not laugh at his wife's reaction.

"Okay but seriously he deserved that slap. He doesn't know how emotional Mimi is…. you know what Tai she was considering abortion Tai and I c….oh." she covered her mouth and looked at Tai's expression. "Whoa…wait Mimi is pregnant?" he asked, Sora nodded. "Yeah she is." She replied.

Author's Notes:

Correction in chapter 5....it should be December in stead of January in Obadia. I'm surprised no one had picked up on that mistake.

"Tai looked over the cold day of January in Obadia."(should be December.)
