It all began with a lie.
A lie so unpredictable that it surprised us all.
I'm Izzy and I am here to tell the story of how we lost our dear Yamato.
Did we truly lose him?
I don't think so.
I believe he is still with us...no matter how much he insists he isn't...
It all began with a lie.
Perhaps one day we'll know why it happened...
It all began with one simple lie...
"I love you," Matt whispered in the dark of night as he dropped off Tai at home from
a movie that the whole group went to.
Tai's hand paused at the door handle. He turned to Matt and raised his eyebrows, "You..you do?"
Matt leaned over and placed his mouth to Tai's ear, "Yes," he whispered making Tai feel
butterflies erupt in his stomach and a hardness he didn't need.
"Matt..." he said turning toward him.
Matt embraced him and for the first time, they kissed. Tai felt Matt's tongue struggling
for the top so he let him do what he wanted.
Matt pulled away and Tai panted quietly to himself, "Do you love me, Tai"
Tai's eyes moved up to meet Matt's gaze, "You know I do...ever since the day in the digiworld where we fought and your hand accidentally brushed me, you knew..." Tai said trailing
off and feeling his face blush.
"I guess you better go..." Matt said motioning for Tai's door.
Tai stood in silence and took on last look at Matt. Matt was looking at him with a sly
smile, "Do you wanna come in?"
Matt shrugged, "If you want..."
Tai glanced at his house. He'd never felt shy in front of Matt before. He was never at
at a loss of words until now, "Maybe tomorrow..." he said opening the car door and heading to his
house. Without looking back, he made it and crept silently into his room.
Sora called Tai and invited him to Ken and Davis's soccer game, "Come on! It'll be fun!
They are real close and...well...there teams are rivals...what can I say?"
Tai sat quietly thinking of an excuse to tell Matt.
"Tai? Are you still there? This isn't like you...why are you being so quiet?"
"No reason!" he jumped but quickly retained himself.
"Oh...I see...did you find someone?" she said sadly.
"Sorta..."
"Who is it, Tai Kamiya." Sora demanded.
Tai started to say but kept his mouth shut.
"Okay, you don't have to come to the game...I'll give them your regards..."Sora said
rudely and hung up.
She walked to the door and looked up at Tai's window. She watched the light go out and
door slam somewhere inside.
Although 14, TK felt obligated to show up at all of Ken's games...not for him but he knew
Kari would be there. And where Kari was, Davis lurked and TK wanted to make sure Davis didn't
put the moves on Kari. Of course, little did TK know that around the corner, Kari was talking to
Davis before the game started. TK looked around for someone he knew. He was Matt walk in and
thought to himself *What is he doing here...he hates soccer*
Matt looked at the soccer field and remembered the days when he had played soccer on the
same field with Tai. Even though Matt hated soccer, the other digidestined somehow always talked
him into it. He glanced up into the stands and saw Tai along side Sora. His temper raged. Tai may
have had a temper but it was nothing compared to Matt's Ishida Temper. He marched up the
stands at the couple.
Tai saw Matt coming toward them and he ran his hand through his hair, hoping to make
himself more presentable. He smiled warmly at him trying not to make Sora suspicious. He wished
he were out on the field playing...proving to himself that he was the best and showing Matt how
good he was with the ball.
Sora blushed at the sight of Matt coming up the bleachers. She envisioned him in her room
kissing her gently only to get rough in the end. That's how he always was. He was the man of
mystery. The man that all the girls wanted...and few got. As far as Sora knew, she was one of the
lucky ones.
Matt sat behind the two, "Did I miss anything?"
"Nice," Sora replied, "it's just now starting."
"Hey Tai," Matt grinned as he patted Tai on the back.
Tai held back the urge to squeal like he had always wanted to do when Matt touched him.
Once again he was speechless.
The referee blew the whistle and Tai focused on the game. He didn't notice Matt scooting
down by Sora.
"So, Matt," she purred, "Coming over tonight?"
"No," he said rudely.
"Why not?"
"I have better things to do than hang out with you."
Sora felt the tears swell up in her eyes. She had given him everything...why couldn't he
love her. She fought them desperately, winning in the end as she always did.
Tai watched Davis run down the field with the ball not far in front of him. Ken rounded
him a stole the ball. Ken made his way and kicked it into the goal. Tai saw the angry look on
Davis's face. He'd have to talk to Davis afterward and tell him he did good...he'd leave out the
part about Ken being better.
After the game, Matt, TK, Kari, and Tai all went over to the Kamiya's house. Although,
Tai watched his brother and Kari make out through the movie, Matt kept to himself and wouldn't
do anything. He said it wasn't the right time to reveal his feelings. Tai had even laid his hand
gently on Matt's leg, moving it up his thigh where Kari and TK couldn't see but yet again, Matt
brushed him away. Actually, Matt just readjusted his legs to where they were out of reach but
Tai jumped to the conclusion that Matt wasn't ready for anything serious...*although, it's odd*
he thought *he was the first one to make a move and I've never seen him give up the chance to
flirt with a girl* It killed Tai to sit there doing nothing but watching the movie but he lived,
and he was glad when Matt left...still without an "I love you".
The next day was the funeral.
Tai stood next to the casket and wept loudly, "Poor Sora. She didn't deserve this."
Sora had been found in her room, dead. There were cut marks on her wrists so everyone
knew she had committed suicide.
Matt walked up behind Tai and put his hand on Tai's shoulder, "Are you going to be okay?"
Tai shook his head and hugged Matt. He cried into the shoulder of Matt and Kari walked
up to help comfort her brother while Mimi watched her lover Matt at the casket with Tai.
Exactly one month after:
Another funeral and once again it was a digidestined.
Mimi was also found with her wrists slit. She was found laying on her bed by Izzy who
was, at the moment, in shock.
Izzy knew that Mimi was hurt from her and Joe's breakup but he couldn't figure out why
she would kill herself.
One month after Mimi's death:
Matt walked up the stairs to Tai's house.
Tai opened the door and the two walked to his room
"So, what do you want to do?" Matt asked shoving his hands in his pocket.
"It's been two months now, Matt, I think we should tell everyone our secret."
Matt looked at Tai in shock, "No, we'll be hated..."
"Well if you say so," Tai said hurt, "let's at least do something..." Tai placed his arms
around Matt's waist and kissed the back of his neck.
Matt moved away from Tai nervously, "I kind of needed to ask you for Yolei's address."
Tai scooted back, "Why?"
"Well, she wanted me to help her with her math..." Mat said trailing off and watching
the floor.
"If you don't want to be with me..."
"That's not it, Tai! Honest!"
Tai smiled and drew Matt a map.
That Friday night, Tai sat alone at home. Matt and Yolei were once again out doing
something. They had been spending a lot of time together... *the are just friends* Tai tried to
convince himself. Today was the anniversary of Sora and Mimi's deaths and he needed Matt with him
more than ever...
Yolei strutted into the bedroom and smiled at her guest, "We are finally completely
alone."
The guy laughed, "Come on over."
Yolei laid herself on the bed and prepared herself for what was about to happen. She
felt his kisses run down her neck and back up to her lips.
She shut her eyes as they traveled back down again and his hands explored her. She
opened them and saw something gleaming in his hand, "Sweetie, what is that?"
She felt a deep pain on her wrists. The throbbing of her blood pumped harder and she
screamed.
The knife fell to the floor and he left, smiling to himself as her blood dripped down the
side of the bed.
The next day, Tai heard of Yolei's death and raced to Matt's apartment.
"You were with her last night!" Tai exclaimed as he shoved Matt up against the wall,
"You killed her didn't you!" he accused.
Matt looked hurt, "No I did NOT kill her! I wasn't even at her house last night. I was
suppose to help her study for her mid terms but my dad decided not to let me go."
Tai looked at Matt unconvinced, "You did kill her! Don't deny it!"
"I swear it, Tai! Don't blame me for something you wish didn't happen," Matt said
storming out the door.
Tai held himself and watched Matt flee *oh great, I've ruined everything*
