Who Am I?
Life is good. No, life is better than good. Life is great. Fantastic even. I dare somebody to find a better life than the one I have right now. They wouldn't find one, even if they spent half a century searching. You see, I feel truly alive and happy. It's something I've never experienced before. It's like I'm lost in my own little world, full of joy and laughter.
But the most important thing in my world is the girl in my arms. She is absolutely stunning in every possible way. She is beautiful, intelligent, athletic, loving and kind. She has been my best friend ever since we were four years old, and she has always been there for me when I needed her the most. Her name is Sora Takenouchi, and I love her with all my heart.
We've been going out together for two years now, since we were fifteen. Things have been going great ever since. I was spotted by a scout from a top division soccer team and was given a two month trial at the club. I passed their test with flying colours, and I am now a fully fledged member of the squad. Sora enrolled in an excellent university to study fashion. She always wanted to be a fashion designer. I think it's fantastic that we're both pursuing the careers we've always wanted.
Back when we were fourteen, Matt and Sora went out for a while. I was jealous. I couldn't understand why at the time, but now I know. I only realized because of a cruel twist of fate. The original Digidestined had a meeting six weeks after they got together. Sora was very quiet, and Matt looked really sad. Mimi kept on bugging Sora about it until she finally snapped and blurted out that Matt had cheated on her.
I went crazy. Ballistic. I was furious that my best friend had been hurt so badly by the guy she loved. She did everything for Matt. She went out of her way for him, forgiving him time and time again for cancelling dates due to band practice and she still stuck by him. But this was the final straw. It was only then that I realized how much I loved Sora. It hit me as my fists pounded into Matt's torso time after time after time.
I didn't care that he was a very good friend. I didn't care that he cried out in agony every time I punched him in his stomach. I wanted to make him hurt just like he had made Sora hurt. It took the combined strength of TK, Joe and Izzy to drag me away from Matt. The fury burned in my eyes until they met Sora's. A tear fell down her cheek, and I couldn't bear to watch it. I ran, as fast as my legs would carry me.
I stopped when I reached the hill in the park. This was Sora and I's special place. It was here that we had some of the best times of our childhood together. I was a mess. I had hurt Matt, and had hurt Sora in turn. It wasn't long before she came and sat down next to me. I was surprised, but we got talking and soon she was crying a river of tears into my shoulder. I comforted her for a long time that night.
Six months and countless discussions later, we became a couple. I had apologized to Matt for being the reason he broke three of his ribs and received a black eye. He and Sora had patched things up soon after that. It took a long time, but we're begun to feel easier around each other. We knew things would never be the way they were before all this happened, but we tried our best and now
things are the best they are ever going to get. So in the end, things turned out fairly well for the three of us. Except Matt, who had to deal with the pain of his ribs for a considerably long period of time, but he deserved it.
Sora's head rests on my chest as we watch television. I lean down and place a gentle kiss on the top of her hair. She turns her head up to face me. There is a smile on her face. She looks so cute when she smiles. I can't resist leaning down again. Our eyes close as my lips land on hers. Her lips are so soft, so wet and so delicious. I smile as we both pull apart. I look at her as she opens her eyes. We gaze at each other for a while.
"I love you Taichi," she whispers.
"Not as much as I love you," I tease. She sits up and embraces me.
"I think it's the other way around sweetie," she says in my ear. I wrap my arms around her back and pull her closer.
"Oh really?" I run my finger up and down her back seductively. I hear her moan slightly, and I smile. "Are you sure about that?" I nuzzle her neck.
"Tai! Stop it before we get carried away! You wouldn't want to wear yourself out for the big game tomorrow now, would you?" I laugh. She doesn't really want me to stop. I know how much she loves this. But she does have a point. It's the cup final tomorrow. Although I am still pretty new to the team, I want to be fresh and ready for action if the coach decides to bring me on as a substitute. I would love to feature in the game, but I know that seventeen year olds don't usually play in big games. The coach sticks with his best eleven players, the ones with experience and skill. I don't have enough experience yet, but I am still hoping he might use me, even if it's only for five minutes.
"I'll admit you have a point," I plant a kiss on Sora's neck. "But you know you don't want me to stop. You love this too much." Her hands reach up and she runs them through my long, unruly hair.
"But I thought you-"She stops as I reach up and start kissing her cheeks and forehead. "Oh my God! Tai, I-I'm losing control!" I grin in victory. I knew she couldn't resist. This never fails to get her in the mood. I sweep one arm under her legs and lift her up. I carry her to the bedroom door and stop by the doorway.
"Lets lose control together Sor," I allow my lips to teasingly graze against hers. "And don't worry about the game, I have plenty of stamina!"
"Substitution for Tokyo City. Number twenty seven, Jeiko Toreishii, coming off to be replaced by number thirty, Taichi Kamiya." I slap palms with Jeiko as he approaches the touchline with a limp. I run onto the pitch and assume my position up front, near the opposition goal. I don't have time to look, but I know that Sora is here watching me. It makes me feel somewhat happier, knowing she's close.
One of the opposition taps the ball out for a corner. This is my chance. My chance to make an impact on the game. I walk to the centre of the eighteen yard box and await the corner. The ball comes in, a little closer to the goal than I expected. I'm not going to reach it! I start running towards it, yet I still won't reach it in time. I have one trick up my sleeve, but I've never done it before.
I dive head first towards the ball. It bounces off my forehead and finds its way into the back of the net. The crowd erupts with screams all around. I'm still flying through the air. I look forward. Oh no. This is bad. I'm heading straight for the post! There is a thud, and then all turns black.
I open my eyes for what feels like the first time in years. The light burns, so I quickly shut them again. I gradually open them up, taking time to adjust to the light. I look around the room. It appears to be a hospital ward. And I am one of the patients. I turn to my left, and there is a girl sitting there. I say girl, but she's actually a young woman. She has shoulder length dark orange hair that curls up at the ends. She has red eyes, and is wearing a pair of jeans and a blue jumper.
I don't recognize her. She is very good looking. I wonder what her name is. Wait, hold on a minute. What is my name? ... Come on! It can't be that hard. It's my own name! Have I got amnesia or something? Oh. I appear to have hit the nail on the head. I can't remember anything. I try to place a name to the girl sitting next to me, but nothing comes. Maybe she's my sister?
"TAI! You're awake!" The girl launches herself at me, wrapping her arms around me in a vice-like embrace. Did she just call me Tai? Is that my name? Tai, Tai, Tai, Tai, Tai, Tai. It has a ring to it I suppose. Now I just need to figure out the rest of my name. And the name of this girl. Although I don't think I want to break the embrace. It feels... nice. Unfortunately for me the girl pulls away and sits back down beside my bed.
"You had a nasty bump on the head Tai. But you scored a goal for Tokyo City! It was the winning goal Tai! This is your dream, and it's come true! I'm so happy for you." The girl has a big grin on her face, whereas I can't muster a smile. She frowns at my emotionless expression.
"What's wrong Tai? This is what you've always wanted," she says. Really? My dream was to score in a soccer match? Never mind, I need to tell her about my apparent amnesia.
"Um, I'm sorry but, I think I have amnesia. I can't remember anything." I look down at my hands that are resting in my lap. There is silence, until the girl bursts out laughing. What is she laughing at?
"Uh, what is so funny?" I ask. The girl's laughter dies down into a giggle.
"Tai, we've known each other for thirteen years! I can tell when you're playing another one of your practical jokes. They usually aren't that good, but you've outdone yourself this time," she pauses. "Try it on someone who isn't your girlfriend and doesn't live with you." She begins to giggle again. Hold on. Is she trying to say she's my girlfriend?
"Y-you're my girlfriend?" I ask timidly. She folds her arms and leans back in her chair.
"Come on Tai. The joke is over now. We just have to wait for the doctor to come back with the test results and hopefully we will be able to go home."
"It's no joke! I have no idea what I'm doing in a hospital bed, who I am or who you are!" I look into her eyes in an attempt to show her I'm not lying. She leans forward once more.
"You're not being serious, are you?" I'm being deadly serious! Can't you tell?
"Yes, I am being serious! I don't have any memories!" The door opens interrupting their conversation, and a doctor steps in.
"Ah, you're awake at last Mr Kamiya. You had a nasty bump on the head I'm afraid. Now, I have the-"
"Tai is saying he has amnesia. Is that a possibility?" The girl questions. The doctor's smile disappears.
"I'm afraid so. I had hoped that wouldn't be the case, but if Mr Kamiya says he can't remember anything, then he is most likely telling the truth." He pauses. "We do have good news though. Tests have shown us that Mr Kamiya is perfectly healthy, apart from the memory loss, and so you can take him home whenever you like Miss Takenouchi."
I guess Takenouchi must be her surname. I wonder what her first name is. Speaking of wondering, where do I live? Who do I live with? Where are my parents? Do I have any brothers and sisters? Do I have any friends? There are hundreds of questions that I want to ask Miss Takenouchi right now, but I suppose some of them can wait. I guess the most important question would be this; what is Miss Takenouchi's first name? It would make things a little less awkward if I knew it!
First Digimon fic. I dunno why, I just started reading them and got hooked. I needed to write this. Taiora is by far the best Digimon pairing in my opinion. I am appalled that it was Sorato in the official Digimon series. But hey, that's what fanfiction is for, right?
Anyway, for those of you who have seen my Beyblade fanfics, you must be thinking if I'm ever going to focus on one fanfic at a time. Sadly, the answer is no. One simply does not hold my full attention. I've decided to discontinue my first Beyblade fanfic "Breaking the Boundaries" but I will be continuing with "The Pain You Have Caused Me" so don't worry.
Please write a review for this fic. It's my first Digimon fic, and I haven't watched Digimon for a few years now (I'm 15) so if the characters are OOC, I'm sorry.
