Love Blossoms
Chapter 1
As they all began to descend down Spiral Mountain, Tai couldn't help but to look over at Sora. He didn't understand why he was looking at her. He shook his head and looked ahead of him, not wanting Sora to notice that he was looking at her. But to no avail, Sora did notice him looking at her. Tons of thoughts began to go through her mind, wondering why Tai was looking at her. She shook it off too, but still the thought of him looking at her was still lingering in the back of her mind. Tai stood up and headed down to the stream to get some more water for the group. Sora immediately stood up and volunteered to help Tai. Tai turned to face Sora and asked her why she was helping him.
"Why can't I help you?" Sora asked.
"Oh, it's not that Sora, I was just wondering that's all." Tai replied.
"Well I'm just here to help Tai." Sora said as she smiled at him.
"Okay okay." Tai quickly turned back toward the stream not wanting Sora to see his blush.
Sora kneeled next to Tai and began to fill each of their canteens. Both Tai and Sora grab for the same canteen, accidentally touching each other's hand. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds before being interrupted by Agumon and Biyomon.
"What's taking you so long, Sora?" Biyomon cheerfully asked.
"Oh nothing, Biyomon. We have all the canteens filled we can go back to camp, right Tai?" Sora nervously replied.
"Yeah, that's right." Tai nervously answered.
Biyomon and Agumon looked at the both of them then looked at each other and shrugged their small shoulders. Sora and Biyomon went off ahead of Tai and Agumon.
"Is everything okay, Tai?" Agumon asked.
"Can you keep a secret, Agumon?" Tai asked in response.
"Of I can keep a secret."
"Well so can I."
Tai lagged a bit behind Agumon who looked around making sure there were no other evil Digimon around. Tai and Agumon eventually reached camp. Sora breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tai and Agumon return. Izzy went up to Tai, taking half of the canteens from him.
"Prodigious! I say we have enough water to last us for at least a week." Izzy exclaimed.
"I say we split the water between the group." Joe said interrupting Izzy.
"We could do that but Matt and Mimi aren't back yet." Izzy replied.
Then out of the blue, Mimi and Matt came from behind some trees, walking up to the rest of them.
"Where were you, Matt?" Tai asked.
"None of your business, Tai."
"Hey we were worried about you two, that's all. I say that all of us have to tell where we're going that way in case someone gets lost."
Matt marched up into Tai's face.
"Who died and made in charge, Tai? I can do whatever I want." Matt asked.
"I don't see anyone but you complaining about me taking charge." Tai replied, pushing Matt away from him.
Matt got very angry and jumped on top of Tai; landing two blows to Tai's ribs. Tai screamed out in pain then he landed a blow to Matt's jaw knocking him to the ground. Tai gets on top of Matt, pinning him to the ground. Mimi and Sora quickly run up to both of them, pulling them apart holding them back.
"That's it! I'm going my own way, anyone that cares to follow, just follow me."
Matt grabbed his share from the canteens and headed off into the woods, with Mimi in tow hoping she can calm down Matt. T.K. looked around wondering whom to go with. Then he just decided to go with his brother and Joe as well decided to go with them, leaving Tai, Sora, Kari and Izzy alone with each other.
