Chapter Ten: ... even from a far.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

" I see, " Yamato said softly, " Yes, I discussed it. No, I agree. Yes, as I told you, I will accept. Yes, next month sounds good. What date? " Here, Yamato flipped his calender to May and scanned the dates. " The fifteenth is good for me. No, we'll all be there. Yes, okay, I understand. Yes, see you then. "

He gently lay the phone down, an eerie silence hanging in the air. Tilting his head back, he ran a pale hand through his sweaty blond locks, eyes closed tightly.

" I'm sorry, Taichi. "

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Taichi knew something was wrong.

Yamato wasn't at school. And Yamato never skipped because Taichi skipped enough for the both of them. Biting his lip, today's lecture flying over his head, he struggled to keep his body relaxed and mind empty. Chill Yagami, he told himself, he's probably just sick or something. Nodding, just to re ensure himself, he struggled not to whimper. This was wrong. Even with all the students, some still giving his nasty looks, it still didn't feel right. Gripping his mechanical pencil tightly, he struggled to find the right word. Without Yamato, he felt...hollow. Incomplete. Without the cool headed, responsible blonde, nothing felt right.

Empty, his mind reasoned, your empty.

And for the first time in a while, Taichi felt like crying.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Wringing his hands, Yamato wondeedr if he should gather his courage and ring the doorbell, or be an ass and wait until the day he leaves to tell Taichi just that: He was leaving. Sighing he shook his head angrily, chiding himself. Are you a man or what, Ishida, he told himself, or are you lower than a slug becasue you won't even tell your own boyfriend that your leaving in less than a month? Groaning, he turned from the Kamiya's door and ran both of his hands through his hair, wonder what he should do.

" Great, " he said, " Just great. I finally get a boyfriend that I actually like and now I have to get up and leave him. Yep, you sure are a man, Ishida. "

He laughed bitterly and turned to look at the inncoent looking door before turning back around and taking a few tentative steps away, his mind screaming at him to go back and face the black headed beauty.

" I'm sorry Taichi, " He said before finding his footing and running away, tword the stairs.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Taichi pulled his hair up into a poneytail, bangs in his face, and gripped the phone tightly, wondering if he really should call Yamato, or let Yamato call him. Choices, he thought, that I don't want to make. This is too much, he sat the phone down and pulled his kness to his chest and sighed. " Why did I get into another realtionship? " He asked himself, sulking, " I know what happens and it happens too many times. They use you and trample on your heart. " Groaning he stretched himself out and colapsed onto his bed. " So why is Yamato so different? "

He closed his eyes, and imagined what the blonde could be doing right now. " Singing along with his guitar, " he said softly, " and writing music. Bastard. Should be calling me. "

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Yamato, plucked a string, testing it, before nodding and writing the note down and continued trying to write a new song that he and his band would perform on their first recording for their CD. Glancing at the cordless phone that rested on his night stand, he subconsiously reached for it, but stopped just before his fingers brushed the cool plastic and brought them back to rest them on his lap. I can't, he stated firmly, I have to concentrate on my music. I can't let the band down. Looking regretfully at the phone, he continued to write his music, unaware that the phone was on ' do not disturb ' and Taichi was trying desperately to call him.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Griping the phone tightly, trying to catch his breath, he dialed the number he had memorized, trying to hold back his pain and anger. I hate him, he thought clentching the phone tighter, I hate him with all of my heart. He lied to me, here, Taichi slammed the phone down,grinding his teeth together in pure hatred. He said he's always pick up when I called, no matter what. He's a liar. Moving his bite to his lip, he tried to stop the furious tears from falling. I hate him, for making me so emotional, for making me love again. I hate him for the wrong reasons. Those are the reasons I should love him, he thought bitterly, but I hate him.

He felt so empty, curled up on his bed in the pure darkness, and all he wanted was to hear Yamato's sweet voice.

But he couldn't.

Becasue he was a liar.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

I'm insane, Yamato thought, nursing his swollen eye, I've finally hit the bottom. Wincing at how much pain one small brunete could do to a taller blonde, he had to congradulate himself on being an ass. Not a ass. The biggest ass of them all. A fuckin ass. A god damn mother fuckin ass, and he had no one to blame but himself. Wanting to close his eye, painfully finding out that he couldn't, he sighed and leaned against his locker, smiling bitterly to himself.

" Only a few days and your relationships is gone already. New record, Ishida. "

...FB...

" Why didn't you pick up last night Yamato? "

Yamato, startled at Taichi's sudden appearence and light tone, spun around and looked quizically at his boyfriend. " What are you taking about, Taichi? "

Taichi, emotionless as he could sound, stated, " I tried to call you last night. " Yamato mentally slapped himself for not turning on his phone and wondered why it was such a big deal to begin with, as Taichi continued, " I called about thirty times. You weren't in school. I was worried. "

Guilt washed over Yamato, thinking of how he was going to get out of this one, " Well, I working on some band stuff and... "

" You lied. "

Startled by the bluntness of Taichi's normally soft seducing voice, Yamato started. " What do you mean I lied? I never lied to you! " Being one with a quick temper, Yamato glared at Taichi, who glared just as evenly, if not more, back.

" Yes you did. You said no matter what you'd always pick up if it was me. You lied, Yamato! "

" Do you know how childish you sound right now? Grow up Taichi! Just becasue you live a spolied pampered life, doesn't mean we all do! And just becasue you think the world revolves around you, doesn't mean that I have to bend to your every whim! "

Obviously he struck a nerve. Taichi's eyes glazed over in hurt tears and anger, glaring at him. But right now, Yamato didn't care.

" I hate you. " Taichi sobbed venomously, " You don't understand what my life has been like, so don't you ever say my life has been pampered because it hasn't! "

Taichi was infuriated and clentched his fists as Yamato spat back, " Don't understand what? That you're basically a whore? That you take your life for granted and... " He was cut off as Taichi's fist slamed into his face, more accuarately his right eye, and sending his sprawlingy onto the ground, damn that kid packed a punch. Covering his eye with his hand, Yamato looked up to glare at Taichi for all he was worth but couldn't. Taichi was flat out bawling, tear cascading down his face, staining them with tear streaks, his body shaking heavily.

" I hate you, " he whispered through his tears, " I hate you. "

Then, Taichi turned and fled, stumbbling down the hallway that still echoed with Taichi's painful sobs.

...FB...

Even, now, he could hear Taichi's sobs, so full of pain and wanting that it made his heart clentch.

" Whay can't I get my feelings strait about him? " He wondered as he stummbled to his feet, touching his eye delicately. " I'm such a fucker, " He finally sighed as he leaned his head aginst his cool locker door, and of course he was met with silence.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

" Poor Tai-chan, " Mimi whipsered, brushing a few of Taichi's locks from his face, watching the tears flow from those beautiful eyes, " What's he do to you? " In all honesty, she wanted to murder Yamato for all the pain he casued Taichi's all ready too delicate heart. She didn't know if he could hold out anymore.

" Nothing of real importance, " Taichi mummbled, wipping some stray tears, " just a petty fight. "

" With the way your acting, I doubt it was just a ' petty fight'. " She chided him, " now tell me what's wrong. "

Taichi took a deep breath to steady his nerves, trying to push down the sobs that tried to escape when he thought of Yamato's harsh words, " Well, " he said softly, Mimi straining to hear, " I asked him why he didn't answer my calls last night, he said he was busy. Then, I guess I lost my temper a little and told him that he lied to me. He got really pissed off and said...some stuff. Then I strated to cry, no, not just crying. I was bawling Mimi! " He broke down into a fresh set of tears and Mimi bit her lip and rubbed Taichi's back.

" What'd he say, Tai-chan? " Mimi questioned.

Taichi mummbled something that Mimi couldn't hear. " What was that, Tai-chan? "

" He called me a... whore. And said I was pampered and I didn't need any attention. " He blurted out quickly, hoping Mimi wouldn't catch that one horrible word. But she did and Taichi felt her tense up.

" Mimi-chan, " he said tentivley, " are you okay? "

" Yes, " She said, staring blankly, " Perfect. "

Taichi highly doubted that but snuggled into Mimi neck, just wanting comfort, not really caring what befell the arrogant blonde.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Yamato had a hard time deciding between running and standing his ground. His pride demanded he stand his ground and his fear screamed at him to run. And still there was a small part of him that said ' who cares, you probably deserve it' . And, he was still pondering this when an angry pink haired, honey eyed girl came striding up to him, her face an emotionless mask. Yamato wondered is he would have felt better if she ran up to him, screaming like a banshee with her hair flying around her.

But no. She was calm, cool, and deadly. And Yamato, though if you ask him now would say otherwhise, was terrified.

" Morning, Mimi-san, " He said, congradulating himself on hiding his fear.

" Morning, Ishida-smepai, " She relied cooly, glaring at him, " By the way, Sempai, " She continued, just as cooly, eyeing him with clear distaste,

" have you seen, Taichi? "

" N-no, " he sputtered, " why would I ? "

" I see, " Mimi stated closing her honey coloured eyes. Then she just stood there, wating. He could tell she was waiting for something but honestly, Yamato didn't know what. And he was getting fed up with all these games Taichi and she were playing.

" What do you want from me, Mimi? " He asked, desperate for his alone time.

" I want to talk to you. " She said simply, eyes half way open.

" About what? " He asked, already knowing what.

Mimi's eyes snapped open in a full glare. " Taichi, and don't try to back down. Meet me in the cafe by Colours in fifteen minutes. " Then she nodded and turned on her heels, high healed boots clicking on the ground, Yamato satring at her as if she was nuts.

" But school starts in fifteen minutes! " He yelled at her.

Mimi stoppped and turned her head to glare venomously at him, " Does it look like I care? "

Yamato gulped and lowered his head and Mimi smirked and turnede back around.

" Fifteen minutes Yamato. Fifteen minutes for Taichi's sake. "

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Mimi sat across from Yamato sipping her strawberry late', Taichi's favourite flavour, and watched Yamato swirl his butternut coffe in his mug, relishing the fact that he was twittery around her. Good, she thought angrily, he deserves it for all the pain he put Taicih through. God damn bastard. She eyes Yamato, taking in his delicate features and clear emotional eyes, wondering for the first time, what casued him to break Taichi's heart.

" What do you know about Taichi, Yamato? " She asked coldly, breaking the ice that surrounded them in discomfort.

Yamato fingered his cup, pondering it seemed, for a few minutes before answering, " Not much, " he admitted, " just that he lives with his parents and has a little sister, His last name's Kamiya, he lives by the bookstore in an apartment building on the fifth floor, he's beautiful and sweet, but has a temper, likes chocolate body wash and shampoo, and makes a damn good uke. "

Mimi had to stop herself from smiling at the ' uke ' part of Yamato's description. But otherwhise, she wasn't impressed. " You're wrong on many aspects, Yamato. So in truth, you know nothing about Taichi. Nothing at all. "

" And I suppose you're going to tell me? " Yamato sighed, though wanting the chance to know Taichi better, even if it was thorugh a second source.

Mimi smiled, " That I am, " She took a sip of her late' and looked pointedly at Yamato to see if he was listening. He was. " First off, Taichi's last name isn't Kamiya. It's Yagami. And before you interupt, " She said cutting Yamato off, who was about to butt in, " I'll explain as time goes on. "

Yamato nodded, urging Mimi on silently, heart throbbing painfully in his chest, as if it was Taichi's hearbeat fusing with his. That was corney, Yamato though smirking, before he caught himself and listened to what Mimi was saying.

" The Kamiya's adopted him, so they're not really family. They want him to be though, but Taichi's afraid to. He can't stand to be in the spotlight or be loved in a way that a family does. He's too insecure for that. The only one really close to his heart is you, Yamato. "

" Me? " Yamato asked, puzzled, " What about you, you guys are pretty close. "

Mimi smiled but shook her head. " I'm only his best friend, not his lover. That's you. And now, if you would please shut the hell up so I can continue? "

Yamato nodded.

" Good. Now, first off, no one can know about this, ne? "

Again Yamato nodded and Mimi smiled her thanks, small, but her thanks non the less, " Taichi didn't grow up in a pampered spoiled household, Yamato. He lived in the slums in a one roomed dirty apartment that he shared with two other families. His only possesions were an overly large t-shirt that belonged to his 'father', shorts that hung off his hips, ( Yamato was sure that Mimi was trying to get him to have a nosebleed ) and a ratty blanket that was full of holes. He slept on the floor by the door every night and only ate, from what he told me, once every three days. "

Mimi bit her lip and tried not to imagine Taichi in those conditions but she couldn't help it, he was her best friend and knowing that she couldn't protect him, made her heart clentch in unyeilding pain. She took a long steady breath and continued.

" And that wasn't the worst part, " She said bitterly, " his parents abused him every night...every god damn night. He'd come to school with bruises and broken bones, black eyes and even bite marks. And no one did anything about it. Everyone ignored him or beat the shit out of him. The teachers didn't care but they laughed at him behind closed doors every day and his parents relished the fact that their only child was in pain. It was horrible. "

Mimi let out a sob and Yamato too, had to bite his lip from actually screaming. Taichi, his Taichi, in a place like that scared him more than even he himself knew.

" Then one day, " she sobbed out, " he didn't come to school. "

...-------...-------...-------...-------

( What led up to him not coming to school )

" Your useless, Taichi! " Sachiko Yagami screamed at her eight year son, lashing out at him, " You can't even wash the dishes what use are you?! "

Taichi sobbed and rubbed his eye, crying tears that mixed in with the blood from the cut below just below his left eye. " I'm sorry Mommy, " he cried, trying not to anger her more, " But I did clean them. "

" You call this clean! " She snarled, throwing the grubby dish at his bare feet and causing Taichi to cry harder as the plate broke and gashed his delicate skin. " They're rubbish! Just like you! You're even lucky I let you live you little fucker! "

Taichi cried out as his mother clentched his small sholders , digging her nails into the delicate flesh, " I'm sorry, Mommy! " He cried out, afraid of the gleam in his mother's eyes, " I'm sorry! "

" Shut up! " She snarled, tossing him against the wall causing the child to cry out in pain, " If you can't carry your weight then you don't deserve to live. "

Sachiko grabbed a rusted knife and held it against his throat, cutting into his flesh casuing him to whimper, " Your nothing but a mistake. An ugly mistake. I can't stand to look at you, Kid. " She pressed the knife harder against his flesh and Taichi started sobbing heavily, the other families watching, glad that Sachiko's anger wasn't put out on them.

" You don't know the meaning on pain, you fat little scruff, " She snarled, oblivious to her son's cries, " but you will. Your father and I will make sure off that. " Sachiko smiled a tender smile, her eyes holding an insane gleam and held her son in a motherly embrace, " It'll all be over soon Kid, all the pain. "

Taichi cried into his mother's sholder, wanting to believe her words, but knowing thta they were nothing but dark, horrible lies.

...-------...-------...-------...-------

" And later, I found he was in the hospital with a slit throat, though it wasn't that deep, and a broken sholder bone. He wasn't in school for so many long weeks. So, I went to his house. "

Yamato didn't like the sound of that and Mimi clearly didn't like remembering. But she still continued, determined to get it off her chest.

" No one answered the door so I let myself in. It was... disgusting to put it lightly. Molding food, rats the size of cats, and dishes piled up. I was horified that my friend lived in this place. That some one so sweet and innocent could live this type of life style. I went hom and told my mom. She told me that some people couldn't help it, that they just lived that way. I accepted it and moved on. But Taichi never came back. "

Yamato lowered his head, wondering if he really should be hearing this story about Taichi.

" Then, " Mimi continued, " he just came back one day. Dressed in new cloths, hair not as shaggy but he didn't smile. Before, even though he lived like that, he would always smile, that goofy happy smile, convinced that God would take notice on him, and bless him with a real family. Then, when he did, Taichi changed. "

...-------...-------...-------...-------

" Class, settle down please! " Miss Kiyo called to her bustling class, " we're getting a new student today so I want you to make him feel welcome! " Her class immediately settled down once the words ' new student ' were uttered. Mimi Tachikawa, most popular girl in the fifth grade, looked up with mild interst, wondering who this new student was.

" You can come in, now Kamiya-kun. "

When the classroom door opened, Mimi was sure she inhaled. Whoever walked through that door, reminded her of her old friend, Taichi Yagami. But this kid was decidingly different. He wore new cloths and he wasn't as pale as Taichi had been, his hair, though spikey and slightly scruffy looking, wasn't nearly as dirty as her Taichi's had been. But his eyes, those deep brown eyes, were haunted and held so many secrets that he shouldn't have.

" Please introduce yourself, Kamiya-kun. " Miss Kiyo smiled.

The new kid stared at them with blank eyes and said, " Taichi Kamiya, " Those few words stabbed Mimi through the heart and she tried to hold her tears in.

" Ummm, " Miss Kiyo said, not really knowing what to do,surprised by the coldness in his voice, " Well then, please take a seat next to Tachikawa then. Mimi, please raise your hand. "

When Mimi rasied her shaking hand and Taichi turned tword her and smiled when he saw the honey eyed brunete, it causing Mimi to finall cry.

...-------...-------...-------...-------

" After that, he told me everything. He ran away from the hospital and lived on the street for two years before the Kamiya's found him and took him in. He had been abused terribly and he couldn't stand it so he ran. Then, shortly after coming to my school, he started up on crack and cocain. An eleven year old boy, Yamato! I didn't know his parents fucked him up that badly! He fought an addiction and it just recently ended at the end of December. So far, he's been clean. But, he lost the meaning of the word love and never smiled so he hid it with dark cloths and smirks. I didn't want him to be alone so I joined him. Then, for his thirteenth birthday, he got his hair dyed and pierced his ears. Then he became someone I didn't know.

" But I still stayed beside him, and now Yamato, I have a question to ask you. "

" Yes, " Yamato asked dizzily, head spinning with all the information Mimi gave him.

" Do you want all of Taichi, his body and his soul? "

" Yes, " Yamato said without hesitation, " I want all of Taichi. "

" You can't. " Mimi stated.

Yamato, once again, felt a rush of anger, " What?! You ask me and I aswer! I would do anything for Taichi! I love him, damn it! "

Mimi shook her head, " You don't understand, Yamato. "

" Then enlighten me, " Yamato snapped.

" Along with stealing his heart, Taichi's parents also stole the one thing he held precious, the one thing he wanted to save for his loved one: His virginity. Knowing this, are you still willing to accept Taichi, even though he is tainted? "

" Yes, " Yamato said without hesitation, " I am. "

" Why? "

" Because, " Yamato said softly, " I love him. "

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Taichi sighed and hugged his pillow to his chest, wanting more than anything to be with Yamato. I never knew, he thought sadly, that it was possible to miss someone this much. Sighing deeply, he stretched out over his bed and placed his arms under his head, closing his eyes. I wonder what Yamato's doing right now. Maybe, he thought with some hope, he misses me too. Opening his eyes to stare at his calming baby blue ceiling, he held a hand out and tried to grasp one of the glow in the dark stars that littered his ceiling, smiling at how Kari got her... no thier... father to place them up there. And once he got his own room, he didn't have the heart to take them down, not when their calming glow put him to sleep every night. Maybe, once things are completely settled, Yamato and I can watch the stars together.

" Taichi, " His mother called, breaking Taichi free of his thoughts, " Someone's here to see you. "

Taichi groaned and struggled to his feet drowsily, stummbling out through his door way, " Who is it? Mimi? " He asked rubbing his eyes but his mother shook her head.

" No, it isn't Mimi-chan. It's some blonde kid I've never seen before. "

Taichi felt his heart race and he took a deep breath to steady his nerves, " Okay, " was all he said before walking calmly tword the door and when he opened it he was met with a panting blonde who immediately threw his arms around Taichi and hugged him close to his chest.

" Y-Yama? What are you doing? " He gasped, kicking his front door shut so they could have some privacy.

" I'm so sorry, " Yamato whispered, stroking Taicih's hair, " I never should have said the things I said. Forgive me? "

Taichi, unable to stay mad at the blonde, hugged him around the waist and nuzzled into Yamato's strong chest, " Yes, "

" I love you, Chi, " Yamato said bending down and picking him up bridal style, causing Taichi to blush madly, " And I want to show it to you. "

Taichi felt his body stiffen, " Y-you mean...us...together? "

" Yes, " Yamato whispered, " but only if you want to. "

Taichi's eyes welled up with tears and he started sobbing, " But I can't...I can't give you... "

" I know, " Yamato said, kissing him to quiet his sobs, " and I don't care. Do you want to, Tai-chan? It's the only way to get rid of the after taste. "

Taichi thought about it, he really did. I want to be with him, he though, in spirit and body. Even if I can't give him what he wants, I want to be part of him. And even though both knew that it was rushing things a bit, both wanted the other to be part of them, forever.

" Yes, " Taichi whispered, " I want you Yamato. "

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Ten minutes later found both boys sprawled in the park's grass, Yamato placing kisses on Taici's bare chest while running his hands through Taichi's soft hair, the young brunete moaning underneath him. Taichi in turn, had his arms wrapped around Yamato's neck, suckling the pale skin, licking the flesh and Yamato let out a gasp as Taichi bit down on his skin, going hard and feeling his horomones go out of whack. " You're fuck'n sweet, Taichi, " he gasped out, hands making their may downward, resting on Taichi's inner theigh, the brunete shivering as he felt Yamato's hands message the tender skin, inching twords his special spot.

" Aren't I? I've had, " He gasped out as Yamato sqeezed him...hard, " Lot's of practice. " He moaned as Yamato leaned down and bit his earlobe, causing Taichi to sqeal and squirm underneath him.

" I hope your joking, Chi, " Yamato whispered, unbuttoning Taichi's jeans and tugging them down so that smooth skin on Taichi's hip was displayed, " because you're my first. "

Taichi just moaned and gasped as Yamato licked and sucked on his hip, feeling himself harden even more, " I am, " he whispered, " I'm all yours, Yama. "

" Glad to hear it, Chi, " Yamato said with a certain gleam in his eyes and tugged off Taichi's cloths, the brunete's naked body now pressing against his half clothed one, " Your so beautiful, " He moaned rubbing Taichi's chest tenderly while his eye's strayed somewhere else, " I could eat you up. "

Taichi giggled and sat up, grabbing Yamato's face and smashing his lips against his, demanding entrance, which Yamato gladly granted. As Taichi played with his tounge, Yamato reached out to play with something else, causing Taichi to gasp and break away from Yamato's mouth, " What are you doing? " He demanded as Yamato smirked, lowering his head down.

Seconds later, Taichi found out and gasped as Yamato bit the tip of his cock and sucked it, pleased as Taichi fell limp and moaned in pure pleasure. This is how it should be, he thought unbuttoning his own jeans, slipping out of them along with his boxers, discarding them, us togther. He pulled up and creased Taichi's tender face, his lazy brown eyes staring at him. Smiling, he took Taichi's hands and made him grasp his own cock, Taichi moaning his name.

" How does it feel, Chi? " He asked but quickly gasped as Taichi pinched him and satarted to rub him tenderly. Now it was Yamato's turn to fall limp ontop of Taichi and that's just what he did. Taichi gave a muffled moan as Yamato fell on his, licking the sweat off his chest.

" It feels great, Yamato, " he whispered, arms around his koi's neck, " just perfect. "

" Good, " Yamato said, smirking at the dazed brunete, " becasue I'm not finished. Can I Tai-chan? " He asked, rubbing Taichi's hip. When Taichi nodded his approval Yamato smiled and delicately entered Taichi's body. Taichi gasped out in pain and moaned, causing Yamato to stop. " You okay, Angel? " He asked worridly.

" Yes, " Taichi gasped, " keep going. "

Yamato nodded and continued, Taichi moaning and gasping every so often as Yamato moved about. Though Taichi was a tight fit, Yamato made it in as far as he could, Once he did, he gripped Taichi's hands lovingly and Taichi gripped them back.

Taichi moaned one final time before Yamato extracted himself, Taichi whithering beneath him.

" We're part of each other, ne Chi? " He asked, licking Taici's fluid off off his koi's body.

" Yes, " Taichi whispered, " Whole. "

" No, " Yamato said, " you're my whore. "

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Yamato cradledTaichi in his lap, the shorter teen clad in only a long baggy shirt that went down to his knees, wondering if he should tell his lover now, it was a good time as any. Taichi sighed, still a little sore from last night and cuddled into Yamato's chest, watching an old black and white cartoon as Yamato gently stroked his hair. I should tell him, he thought, right now and get it over with.

" Hey, Chi? " He asked, looking down at the brunete he held lovingly in his arms, Taichi, looking away from his cartoon and mummbled a 'what' before yawning. Smiling, Yamato leaned down and kissed Taichi's forehead.

" I have to tell you something important. "

" What is it? " Taichi yawned, stretching out over Yamato's legs, wincing as a sharp pain shot up his body.

" You know how my band and I have been looking to get signed on? "

" Yeah, you told me about it a few times. "

" Well, " Yamato said slowly, not wanting to rush, " We got signed up for a contract to play in... "

" That's great! " Taichi interupted, a wide smile spreading across his now pale face.

"...America. " Yamato finished, causing Taichi's smile to slip and a frown to replace it in only a matter of seconds.

" What? " Taichi asked, not believing what Yamato had said.

" You know what I said, Chi, " Yamato said hugging him tightly.

Taichi sat in his lap for a while before choking out, " When do you leave? "

" In about three weeks, " Yamato said, not wanting to sugar coat his words.

" I see, " Taichi said, not wanting to be the one to bring the mood down. But Yamato saw his down casted eyes and hugged him tightly.

" Hey, " he said rubbing Taichi's back, " I'll still be with you. "

He was met with silence and he sighed, pushing Taichi away at arms length to stare at the down casted brunete. " We'll just have to spend the whole month together, ne? "

" When will you be back? " Taichi whispered softly, staring at Yamato with his large brown eyes.

" A couple months I think. " He said as Taichi climbed out of his lap and stood to stretch, his shirt riding up to expose his slender lengs and theighs, causing Yamato to blush slighlty. The brunete sat back down and leaned against Yamato's sholder in silent thanks for not keeping the secret and Yamato complied to his koi's silent whim and nuzzled him, " Sing me a song, Chi. "

" Why? " Taichi asked, gazing at Yamato with quizical eyes.

" Becasue I love your voice, Chi. Now sing. "

Taichi smiled and closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around Yamato's waist and leaning his head on his chest before taking a deep breath. He never sang for Yamato, really. Just a few snippits, but not a whole song. " You sure? "

" Uh hmmm. " Yamato hummed and Taichi decided on a song he wrote when he and Yamato were fighting.

" Can't back down now, Ishida. " He warned.

" Wouldn't want to, " Yamato said smiling. Taichi nodded and sang the song to Yamato softly.

" When we were together, I knew that forever, I'd always, my days,

follow you, into the blue beyond. "

Yamato sighed happily and nudged Taichi to continue just in case he wanted to back down.

" Dream with one another, help each other over the rainbow,

You'd know, I'd follow you into the blue beyond. "

Feeling Taichi shiver, Yamato held him close, silently saying he didn't have to go on, but Taichi shook his head and continued to sing softly, his beautiful voice washing over Yamato's whole existence.

" Never wanna be any where I can not see, the love light you shine,

Only wanna be wherever you are, runnin with my friend.

You never will be lonely, you only need to look right bhind you,

find who will follow you into... the blue beyond. "

" Love you, Taichi, " Yamato whispered and Taichi turned to smile at him, silently asking if he should go on. Yamato nodded, wanting to hear more of Taichi's voice.

" Never wanna wherever I can't see, the love light you shine,

Only wanna be wherever you are, walking hand in hand.

Dream with one another, help each other over the rainbow,

You'd know, I'd follow you into... I'd follow you into...I'd follow you into... the blue beyond. "

" Love you, Chi. " Yamato smiled at the blushing Taichi, dragging him to lay ontop of him.

" Love you too, Yama. " Taichi whispered, falling asleep into Yamato's strong embrace.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

( Three Weeks Later- Yamato's departure )

Yamato placed his luggage down and turned to say goodbye one final time to the people he would miss the most. Looking at the large clock that hung over the terminal gate, he sighed in relief when he saw he had fifteen extra miutes until departure. Turning back twords the small group he smiled at them and said, " Well guys, this is it. "

" Oh, don't sound like you'll be gone for ever. Do you want to break Taichi's heart again, Yamato?" Mimi questioned, hands firmly on her hips, a playful glare on her face.

" Mimi! " Taichi moaned but Yamato just laughed and hugged the pink haired girl.

" Thanks, Mims, " he whispered, " I owe you. "

Mimi hugged him back adn said softly, " Don't worry. And I promise to look after him while your gone, just as long as you promise not to go and cheat on him with some blonde ditzy air head new york girl. "

" Never, " Yamato promised and turned to Tekeru who stood beside Taichi, smiling softly at his brother. " I'll miss you Teeks, " He said, drawing his brother into a tight hug, " but I'll really miss your cooking the most. "

" Figures, " Tekeru said, rolling his eyes but smiling, " But I'll miss you Ni-san. " He said hugging his older brother back, " And don't worry, I'll make sure Dad doesn't burn the apartment down so that You have a place to come back to. "

Yamato broke the embrace and laughed, " You better see to that. "

Then, he turned to the last member of the group who stood before him, sad smile in place on his face. " Don't worry Chi, " He said softly, hugging him tightly, not wanting to let go, " I'm still with you. "

" I know, " Taichi whispered, " but I still don't want you to go. "

Yamato laugthed and ruffled his koi's hair, his efforts earning him a pout. " I'll miss you so much, Taichi. "

" Attention, all passengers boarding flight two fifty-nine headed for New York City, please head tword terminal five. Once again all passengers... "

" Damn, " Yamato cursed, " Now that it's actually time to leave I don't want to. "

" You have to, " Came Taichi's teary voice, " you'll never forgive yourself if you do. "

" Maybe, " Yamato said, letting Taichi going regretfully, " maybe. "

He picked up his luggage with one hand and pulled an envelope out with the other, handing it to Taichi, who took it gently, afraid as if it might disappear.

" Well, " he said regretfully, " Time to go. "

" See, ya! " Mimi said, waving her had, putting one arm around a sobbing Taichi.

" Travel safe, Matt. " Tekeru said, smiling sotfly.

" Bye, Yama, remember to call, okay? " Taichi pleaded, rubbing his tears away.

" Of, course, Chi, " He said, " I'll always remember. "

And then, before he could convince himself to stay, he headed tword the terminal, reading to hit it big in the big apple.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Taichi delicately opened his envelope on the bus ride home, pulling out a single sheet of paper, scrawled with Yamato's delicate hand writing.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD...XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

( One month Later- Calls )

Taichi hugged the phone close to his heart, almost unable to wait to hear Yamato's voice. Sighing he clentched it and closed his eye's, only wanting to hear those five words that would come every day at four o' clock sharp. Taichi looked at the clock resting on his desk and the numbers read three fifty-nine. Then, just as the digital numbers blinked to four, the phone rang and Taichi answered, like he did every day.

" Miss you, Yama. " He said.

" I miss you too, Chi, " Yamato said and Taichi happily smiled, convinced that Yamato was right there beside him, just like he promised.

Taichi: Hey, where's Taichi's girl? ( Looks around )

Yamato: Mopping in a corner convinced her writing days are over. ( shrugs ) She wants us to do the final words of the fic.
