Five year has passed for me, and of all anime, I've started on a general fan fiction featuring one of my most favourite couple from one of the best anime franchise that has ever been broadcasted worldwide. As a Digimon fan, I have decided to help patch up the broken pieces of the forgotten memories of Digimon that has been scattered upon the pasts of chosen children all over the world who have once loved Digimon.

Please excuse me for any mistakes or poor story-writing, because writing isn't my best talent. Also, I do not own Digimon.

This story takes place after the Japanese version of the movie "Bokura no War Game", or in English "Our War Game".

Bokura no Ai no War Game - part 1

"Well, it's gone, our work here is done," smiled Koushirou as he started packing his laptop. Taichi smiled back as he placed the computer monitor back onto the table.

"Man, I've really got to clear up this mess," said Taichi, staring at the messy knots of wires and stacks of documents. Koushirou chuckled. "Well, life's never easy even after you defeat an evil Digimon, eh, Taichi-san?"

"Taichi! Koushirou-kun! Would you like some cake?" called Taichi's mother from outside. "In a minute mum," Taichi called back. "Come on, Kouchirou." Koushirou nodded as he followed Taichi out the door.

A rather burnt cake was laid on the table before Taichi and Koushirou. "It's not like how I expected it to be, I hope it's still okay," smiled Taichi's mum.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Yagami, the bottom tastes just fine, just take off the top," said Koushirou as he took a sample of the cake. Taichi did the same and took a little of the cake. "You know, this will go perfectly with some ice-cream," Taichi jerked the fridge handle. "Do we have any ice-cream left, mum?" asked Taichi, poking his head into what seemed like a rather unorganised fridge. "Darn, the fridge's messy too," he added with a frustrating whisper.

"In the freezer. We still have vanilla. Hikari took quite a lot of chocolate ice-cream yesterday. Or was it mint? Anyway, I'm not sure if there's any left," replied Mrs. Yagami struggling to cut off the burnt portion of the cake.

Bzzz!

The doorbell was ringing. (In Japan most apartment doorbells leaves a buzzing sound instead of a sound of a bell). "Could you get that Koushirou-kun?" asked Taichi's mum.

Koushirou nodded and opened the door. "Ah,"

"Who is it, Koushirou-kun?" asked Taichi's mother. "Ah, Sora-chan!"

Taichi's eyes widened. "Ow!" Taichi's head hit the top of the freezer and two medium-sized ice-cream buckets came falling onto the ground, each landing on Taichi's foot. "Eaaagh!"

"Taichi?" came a familiar voice from the door. Sora stood between Mrs Yagami and Koushirou. Their eyes met and Taichi noticed that Sora was wearing her striped shirt and her usual jeans. There was something missing though.

Silence swept through the room.

"Cake, Sora-chan?" Mrs Yagami broke the silence. Sora smiled and nodded. "Sure, Mrs Yagami." Sora and Koushirou took their seats beside each other while Taichi sat opposite them and laid three buckets of ice-cream on the table.

"Hmph, Hikari should know that empty buckets of ice-cream don't belong in the freezer," sighed Mrs Yagami putting away an empty mint ice-cream bucket. "Here, Sora-chan, Koushirou-kun, Taichi." Mrs Yagami laid three slices of cake on the table, each with a little chocolate and vanilla ice-cream topped with a cherry.

"Bon appetite!"

"You were right, Taichi, cake DOES taste nice with ice-cream," said Koushirou, his mouth stuffed with a big scoop of cake and ice-cream. However, Taichi wasn't listening, but carefully staling glances at Sora, as he munched his own cake and ice-cream. Koushirou somehow knew what was going on, so, he decided to shut up and continue eating.

"You look really pretty today, Sora-chan," said Mrs Yagami as pulled up a chair. Sora thanked her as pink patches began to show on her cheeks. Yes, Taichi thought. Something is missing.

Sora wasn't wearing her hat today. Her fringe was clipped to the side with a shiny red and yellow flower-like clip that he had gave her for her birthday.

"You know…" continued Mrs Yagami. "I SWEAR I've seen that clip before."

Suddenly, Taichi felt himself sweating and tried his best to hide his face from his mother. Sora, bowed her head sheepishly. Koushirou gave a tiny mischevious smile as he tried to hold his laughter by slurping his melted ice-cream loudly.

"Anyway, are you going anywhere during the holidays, Sora-chan?" asked Mrs Yagami again. Sora shook her head as she ate another piece of ice-cream covered cake. "Just like Koushirou-kun, eh? Ah, more cake Koushirou-kun?"

Taichi and Sora both turned to Koushirou, who've apparently enjoyed the cake judging from the way he was trying to scoop every drip of the ice-cream off his plate with his spoon.

"Ah, yes, please!" finally realising Mrs Yagami's offer.

As Koushirou followed Mrs Yagami to the counter to get another slice of cake and ice-cream, Taichi continued sneaking glances at Sora as she slowly poked her cake. Taichi's brain ached as he searched for a question or a topic. Then, it came to him. Why now? Why did she only come now? When moments ago an evil Digimon was conquering the network?

"I received your e-mail," whispered Sora.

Taichi's eyes widened. He swallowed some ice-cream without waiting for it to melt, which in return, temporarily froze his throat. "W-What?" asked Taichi, thumping his chest. "N-no! You've got it all wrong! I didn't mean anything I said in the e-mail! I swear!"

Sora stared at Taichi straight in the eye with shock. Taichi froze.

Wait, what am I saying, Taichi thought. I WANTED to apologized, just that Hikari…the e-mail, it had a…

Sora clenched her fists. "Really? I understand. That's pleasant to know," she muttered as she began to scoop spoonfuls of cake and ice-cream into her mouth.

"S-Sora, I…"

Sora pushed back her chair fiercely as she made her way to the doorway her head facing down. "Thank you, Mrs Yagami, the food was delicious," called a quivering voice as Sora exited Yagami residence.

"Ah? Sora-chan? Leaving already?"

"Wait, Sora, WAIT!" called Taichi as he scrambled out of his seat after Sora. Too late, the door was slammed shut, leaving Taichi alone in the quiet apartment with his mother and Koushirou.

Taichi slowly turned and headed for his bedroom; his head faced down to avoid eye contact with anyone.

"My, I wonder what's wrong with them?" sighed Mrs Yagami as she handed Koushirou another helping of ice-cream and cake. "Koushirou-kun, here's your cake."

"Ah, thank you," Koushirou gave a quick bow as he received the cake.

"Ah, darn it, I forgot to buy some pickled ginger. Hope the store's still open," Mrs Yagami quickly fetched her purse and headed for the door. "Koushirou-kun, I'll be going out for a while, take care, okay?" Koushirou nodded.

"And if you want more cake and ice-cream, you know where to get it. Oh, and one more thing…" Mrs Yagami lowered her voice to a whisper. "Could you see what's wrong with Taichi?"

"Sure," Koushirou nodded again as he waved his spoon cheerfully. "Bye, Mrs Yagami." The door closed and Koushirou sighed as his eyes fell on Taichi's bedroom door. "Taichi-san…"
