I

A lost love a crying soul

Its already tow weeks since it happened… An auburn girl thought in the emptiness of her dark room.

"And it's all my fault…" She said to herself crying again.

Two weeks before…

A brown haired boy was sitting in the bench of a park. He was drowned in his thoughts and memories of that place.

"Sora and I used to walk in this park, but we haven't since…" His words were stopped by a stabbing of pain. "Well since she started dating Matt."

He looked at the sky asking himself why she called him, she hasn't called since… well you can imagine.

We used to talk a lot, but after that happened, a barrier between us appeared. I can't blame her, I decided that I didn't want to be so close to her, it was to painful. I spoiled everything and I said all that horrible things to her. He thought remembering to himself how stupid he was

Why she called me? He asked to himself for the tenth time.

Okay I was in may room when my mobile started to beep, I looked the screen to find out who was calling. I froze when I saw it was Sora, I answered and stammered something like "Hello?"…

"Tai?" Sora said at the other side of the phone.

"Hi Sora… How are you?" Tai asked without knowing what to say.

"I'm okay err… what about you?" She said in the same situation.

"I'm fine… what is it?" He asked trying to decide if he wanted to talk to Sora or not.

"Well… you know… its been a while since the last time we talked, I mean really talked, so I was wondering if we could meet sometime to… talk."

Tai said nothing, he was to surprised to think, but fortunately he remembered that he was able to talk soon enough to answer.

"Hum… yeah sure why not? when would you like to meet?"

"Well… I was thinking that… well if you were not busy we could meet now."

Now? She means right now? Oh man, what I'm gonna do?

"Yeah its okay, would you like to go to the…"

"Park… yeah sure." Sora said finishing his sentence. "What about in half an hour?"

"See ya there." Both said at the same time and laughed.

"Well see ya later, I gotta go." Sora said as she hanged…

Tai stared at the sky of the park again. Sora said half an hour, but he decided to be there a little earlier, he wanted to be alone at that place for a little time just to remember.

"Well, it was good to arrive here earlier, and later I can go and get some chips or whatever." He said to himself, I mean he really said to himself.

"You really have to stop talking to yourself, someone that haven't known you for her entire life would think that you are insane or something." A very familiar voice said to him.

Tai turned and there was Sora smiling to him. And with horror he discovered how much he have missed that smile and how much he loved that girl. I can't, she is with Matt, Matt is my best friend, and also for Sora, I'm or was his best friend… Just that.

"Well she wouldn't be so far from the truth."

Sora laughed and kept her lovely smile. But something in Tai, the way he looked at her… His eyes, something…

No… not again. I loved this guy with all my heart and he obviously never felt the same way. I won't fall with the same rock, besides now I have Matt.

Sora's smile faded and Tai turned his head to close his eyes for a second to remember that there have never been something between them besides a friendship. Just friend…

"Well… what have you been doing in all this time?" Sora asked him trying to break the ice that had just formed.

"Not a lot, I left the football team, and… I think it's the only important thing I did." Well besides that stupid painting. "What about you?"

"Well I have been working in my mom's shop and hmm… hanging out with Matt, yesterday we celebrated our anniversary, we have been together for a whole year!"

"Well that's… awesome." Tai said repressing a face of pain and trying to sound happy for the lovely couple.

"Isn't it? he took me to a lovely restaurant for dinner, and gave me this beautiful necklace." Sora said to him showing Matt's present.

"That's… just great." Tai answered wanting to change the Matt subject but incapable of doing it.

Suddenly Sora made a question that froze Tai.

"Tai… I wanna know… what happened to us?"

Tai stood quiet unable to answer, she knew what happened to them, that awful fight, what she wanted to know was why.

"I… I really… don't know."

Now that you are so far

It's so hard to accept the fact

That without your smile

My heart only wants to die

Because I thought I could

Live without you

Tai repeated to himself the lyrics of one of his poems. The only person in the whole world that knew he could write poems was him.

"I really don't know Sora." He continued.

"Well… I wanna know cuz I really…" Love you? that's what I was going to say? No, not again besides, I don't love him anymore… I don't… "Appreciate your friendship very much, and I want it back…"

Just friends after all, aren't we? "Yeah me to, I want to be your best friend again." Tai answered trying to hide his feelings.

I knew it " your best friend", just that, it have always been like this.

"Yeah that would be good, being… good friends again…" Sora said turning her head hiding the one single tear that have appeared in her beautiful crimson eyes.

"Yeah it would be nice…" I knew it, I can't stand it, it's too painful. "Well it's getting a little bit late would you like me to escort you to your house?"

"No it's okay I' m gonna meet Matt later." She said looking at him again, now that she was free of tears.

"Oh… I see… are you gonna meet him at this park?" Tai asked hiding any emotion.

"No… I'm gonna see him at the ice cream place." I will never meet anyone in this park besides… besides you idiot.

"Well if you want I can go with you and stay until Matt arrives." He suggested.

"Yeah thank you."

No one said nothing till the arrived the ice cream place, inside they talked about old time when they were younger. They were having a nice enough chat when a blonde boy arrived.

"Hi hon how are you?" He greeted Sora and thensurprised he looked Tai. "Tai? How are you pal?"

His relationship with Matt didn't change a bit when his problem with Sora happened so he answered normally.

"I'm okay, what about you rock singer?" Tai answered cheerfully.

"Great, I'm glad that both of you finally decided to talk to each other." He said with a movie star smile.

"Yeah, eventually we have to, don't ya think?" Tai answered as he stood up. "Well I better go home I don't wanna interrupt you."

"Stay with us if you want it's okay for us, isn't hon?" Matt asked Sora.

She doubted for a moment but gave the answer Matt knew she will.

"Yeah it's cool for us."

"No… I really gotta go… I have to help Kari to clean the house." He said finding a good excuse.

But you said you had nothing to do this evening. Sora thought.

"Well see ya guys." Tai said living the ice cream place.

While he was walking he stopped to look at the window were Sora and Matt were talking cheerfully.

"They are a very pretty couple, don't ya think?" He said to himself as he walked away.

"I'm glad that you both are talking to each other again." Matt said to his girlfriend. "You were such good friends."

Matt turned to order something letting Sora watch out of the window and give Tai a look full of grief before he disappeared into the darkness of night.

"Yeah we were…"

Sora was sleeping restlessly in her room, she was having a night mare. She woke up breathing noisily and crying.

It was the same nightmare that she had the night before, the same nightmare that made her call Tai and talk to him.

She walking alone in a vast dessert, then Tai appears by his side. She talks to him but he doesn't answer, he acts like if she doesn't exist. She talks to him again as he turns to her and ask "Sorry… Who are you?" But he is not pretending, in his eyes she can see that he really don't know who is she. She desperately says "It's me Sora don't you remember me?" He looks at her trying to remember. "Sorry I…. don't…"

Suddenly he starts to separate from her and a huge column of light appears around him. Tai turns his head to her with a sad smile and says "Good bye… Sora." As he disappears.

Sora went to the kitchen to drink some water. When she returned to her room she sat down on her bed trying to calm down when suddenly her cell phone beeped. She stood up from her bed took it and answered, it was Matt.

"Hello?" Sora said to him.

"Sorry hon, did I wake you up?" Matt asked.

"No… I was awake, I had…" I nightmare about Tai? no way… "I wanted to go to the bathroom, what is it hon?"

"Well Izzy called me just a minute ago, he said that's something huge is happening in the digiworld."

"Oh… I see… What we are going to do?" She asked concerned.

"Well he told me we can meet tomorrow morning at his place around nine."

"Okay see ya there…"

"Yeah see ya there I love you." Matt said to her.

"Yeah… me too…." She said before she hanged.

At next morning Tai was outside his building walking to Izzy's place when he saw an auburn girl staring at the sky, lost in her thoughts.

Sora felt that someone was looking at her and she turned. There a brown haired boy was watching her.

"Morning Tai." She said.

"Morning Sora, you are going to Izzy's house, aren't you?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I think you too."

"Yeah, would you like to walk with me?"

"Yeah sure."

In the whole way to Izzy's house none of them said a word. When they arrived Matt, Mimi, Joe, Kari, who left earlier than Tai, T.K., and of course Izzy were waiting for them in his room sitting in a circle.

"Well all of you are wondering why I asked you to come." Izzy said.

"No, what I was really wondering was if you don't have anything to eat, I didn't take breakfast and I'm starving." Tai said and everyone even Izzy laughed.

"Well almost everyone here is wondering why I called you." Everyone nodded.

"Well yesterday I was using my comp when an e-mail opened automatically; it was an e-mail from Gennai telling me something very disturbing."

All of them stood quiet waiting for Izzy to continue.

"He wrote that something is threatening the digiworld and… that all of our digimon have been captured."

"What?" Tai asked out loud.

"That's it, our digimon were captured, my question is what we are going to do?" Izzy asked very seriously.

"The only one thing we can do, we must go there and save our digimon and then kick any digiworld destroyer's ass." Tai said standing up.

"It's not that easy, the last time we went we were in a great danger and we had our digimon with us, this time it's gonna be almost impossible." Izzy answered.

"Yeah I agree with Izzy, it's too dangerous." Joe said taking his glasses off.

"We can't abandon them; they always protected us when we were in trouble and besides they are our friends." Tai said to all of them.

"I also think that it's very dangerous." Matt said thoughtfully. "But I agree with Tai, we have to help them."

"Well we can try democracy." Mimi said with her eternal cheerful tone. "Who wants to go and save our digimon?"

Everyone even Joe and Izzy raised their hands.

"Well I think that makes it, do we have any port to the digiworld?" Tai asked.

"Yeah Gennai told me he will have a port opened for us." Izzy answered showing the screen of his lap top to them.

"Well if we are all prepared… LET'S GO!" Tai said disappearing with a light.

When Sora saw him disappearing with the light she remembered her dream and quickly went after him.

They arrived at a huge desert. While they were walking Tai looked back at Sora who was at the very end of the group, for some reason alone. Tai watched her with more attention and he saw her face was full of … fear?

Tai walked toward her and asked.

"What is it Sora, what's wrong?"

"Everything is… just right…" She lied without looking at him.

"Sora… I have known you for my whole life and… I know that something is happening to you, what is it?"

Sora turned her head to him and Tai surprised saw that her beautiful crimson eyes were full of pain.

She came closer hiding her face again.

"Tai… please… promise me something…" She told him with a trembling voice.

"Whatever you want." He answered trying to comfort her.

"Promise me that you will never forget about me…" She said putting her head on his chest.

"Yeah sure I… would never be able to forget you… Sora." He answered without understanding why Sora will ask him such thing.

"Thank you…" She said closing her eyes as she hugged Tai.

That hug took Tai by surprise. He looked at the other digidestineid. Fortunately for him none of them, most importantly Matt, was aware of the hug. Tai unable to resist embraced her.

Mimi looked back and saw them, the scene was just sweet. She stared at them for a moment. They look so cute, just like if they were so… it's like… oh crap.

"SORA TAI WATCH OUT!" She shouted and both separated quickly enough to prevent being seen by the other digidestineid and more importantly Matt.

"What is it Mimi?" Matt asked worried.

"Oh sorry I thought I saw something." She answered innocently. Yeah, I really saw something…

Sora separated from Tai with a strange looking in her face and walked toward Matt. Tai stood in his place at the very back and Mimi went by his side. There she stared at him with her inquisitive brown eyes.

"You saw us, aren't you?" He asked her.

"Yeah and I really think I saw something." She answered giving a special emphasis to really.

"We were just hugging, nothing really important." He replied trying to defend.

"Yeah a normal huge between friends it's not a big deal, but when I saw you and Sora well… you didn't seem exactly like friends."

"What do you want from me?" He asked annoyed.

"I wanna know… do you still love her?" Mimi asked.

Tai didn't answered immediately, Mimi was the only person who knew he was in love with Sora.

"Yeah… I think I do…"

"Well, why don't you tell her?"

"Don't start again please, she loves Matt, she is Matt's girl and doing that would be like…"

"Betraying Matt…"

"Yes, besides she doesn't likes me of that I'm sure so..."

"Tai… I really appreciate you but I can't deny that… you are an idiot for this kind of things."

Tai looked at her, she was right he sucked at things like love.

"Actually I'm surprised, you have known Sora all this time and you still don't understand…"

"Understand what? That she prefers Matt? That she doesn't like me? I can assure you, I do understand that." He said angrily but keeping his voice down.

Mimi looked at him.

"You are such an idiot Tai… but cute idiot at all." She said walking away.

Tai was walking drown in his thoughts when suddenly the earth shaked and a huge monster with the form a tri horned dinosaur appeared from the sand. All the digidestineid ran in order to escape from the creature but Sora fell down.

Matt turned ready to help her but before he could move someone was between Sora and the beast.

"Don't you dare to touch her." Tai said to the huge monster which roared fiercefully.

Suddenly a strange light glowed around Tai and the crest of courage appeared in his chest. As the monster was creating a dark ball of energy the light around Tai grew brighter. The monster threw it's ball to Tai.

Tai turned his head toward Sora as the ball was rushing over him, he gave her one last smile as he said. "Good bye." When the dark ball and the light around Tai clashed a huge column of light appeared and both Tai and the monster vanished.

When Tai said good bye to Sora she almost heard her heart splitting in thousands of shards, she tried to say something, to beg him to stay… but she couldn't.

When he disappeared she stood up and walked toward the place where Tai was before he vanished, Matt ran and tried to embrace her but he rejected his arms and fall on her knees, she was in shock once again Matt embraced her and this time she did nothing.

At the back Kari was on her knees to unable to believe what happened as her face was covered with tears.

Matt was hugging Sora trying to repress his own tears. Sora cried Tai's name with a heartbreaking voice a lot of times while she was painfully sobbing.

"Tai…" She said one last time before losing conscious.

Present time…

Sora was in her room unable to shed another tear. She was to sad for that. Suddenly her phone started to beep. She stood up almost automatically and answered it.

"Hello?" Mimi voice said.

"Hi Mimi, how are you?" Sora asked without caring about the answer.

"I… well… I'm fine I think… what about you?"

"I'm… okay yeah I think I'm okay." Sora lied.

"Both of us know that that's not true but… I just wanna remember you that I'm here for you if you need me, that's all." Mimi said at the verge of tears.

"Yeah thank you meems the same for you." Sora answered without paying attention to what she was saying.

"Sora I wanna know something."

"What is it?"

"You… still love Tai, don't you?"

Sora didn't answered.

"Sora?"

"Meems I will call you later I need to rest." Sora said.

"No Sora please."

"Talk to you later…" Sora said and hanged.

The girl went to her bed. If she loved Tai or not wasn't important anymore because…

"Tai… is gone…" She said and cried again with even more sorrow…
