A/N : This is the second hapter, hope you like it ^^

DISCLAIMER : If only I owned Digimon you would see very much Taito in it.


"Yama…"

I said the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw that angel.

"Looks like you haven't been able to forget about him, Tai" The angel turn around with a soft expression on his face. Instantly I realized what I've said. He must be very disappointed with me, I couldn't help but feel bad about that.

"Look, errr-I can explain this-" I tried to explain

"Don't worry about it Tai, I know you. Even since our first time, I know that you couldn't forget about that person. So, please don't be sorry about that" he said with a small smile. By the way Haru was my best friend, he already known about my B-world.

"No, I want to forget about that person. I can't live with his shadow looming around my mind forever"

"But you can't be like this Tai, I know you loved and 'still love' him. You mustn't be suffering because that, you have to face it, don't run any more" he walked to the bed and sat beside me.

"Nah, I love him at least before what he has done to me." I said, I felt the ache in my chest like I always have when I thought about 'him'.

Haru grab my shoulder and leaned my head on his shoulder. I think he's not just a best friend , he's also like my big brother. He always comfort me in a situation like this, he always tried to help me with my problem. He has done too much for me, I wish I can return his feeling but I can't even if I want to.

"Just be honest with yourself Tai, don't keep denying your own feeling. That would only make you hurt more. Don't you think it's better if you approached him and make things better again?"

"I don't want things to be better with him anymore, and even if I want, I still don't know about his where-about. It'll only waste my time to search him, and also he must be happy with his wife and their child now. I don't want to ruin that." I explained and wrapped my arms around him, he just returned my embrace and keep silent.

"Anyway, I think I have more than enough happiness with me now, don't you think?" I continued.

"Okay if you sa-EEK" his face turned crimson when I groped his croth.

"Hahaha, that's the first for today" I said, getting out from the bed and bouncing around the room.

"Grrrr, you!"

"Hahaha" I pick my clothes and run to the front door.

"Hey Haru, I'm going for a walk" I shouted from the doorway while putting my clothes on.

"Okay, but don't forget we have practice on 2 this afternoon" he shouted back.

"Yeah" I looked at my watch. "Hmmm, it's still 12, I have two long hours" I mumbled to myself.


I walked down the street, feeling the soft breeze brushed against my skin. It made me feel really comfortable, walking like this and enjoying my time with Ya-argh! No, that's in the past, I have to get over it. I don't need him, I'm happy with myself now. Yeah, I'm really happy, really really happy, am I?

I reached the park and sat on the bench under the tree. I thought about what Haru has told me this morning, is it really true that I still love Yama? Am I keep denying my own feelings? Can't I continue my life without him? Must I make things better again between us? Geez, I think these thoughts is too much, I hope I didn't die from overloading myself. Ahhh, guess I have to let myself enjoy the surroundings, I need to relax my thoughts. I hate it when my thought is so mixed up.

"Heeeeelp!" the sound of someone screaming make me jumped from the bench. I looked around trying to find the source of the voice. My gaze fell upon a couple of childs, there're three of them and one on the ground trying to cover himself from all the beatings from the three boys.

"Hey, You!" I shouted, the three boys looked at me and were gone instantly. Che! Kids these days. I approached the kid on the ground, tears and dirt covered his face. He was so small, he looked like about 3, or maybe 4.

"Hey kid, are you okay?" I asked, reaching my hand into the trembling body.

"N-no, don't hurr-t me, i-I don't have an-anythin'" The kid replied with a quivering sounds, and he started shaking hard. Instinct took over me, I pick the boy up and wrap my arms around him in an embrace "Ssssh, it's okay now, you needn't to worry anymore, they're all gone"

The boy looked up with tear stained face, and then he started crying again on my chest. I kept trying to comfort him, after some moment finally his cries decreased into a sobbing sounds. The kid looked up again, this time he looked more calm.

"Feel better now?" I asked with a soft smile.

"Nnn y-yeah, thanks onii-san" he looked down, blushing and looking embarrassed.

"Now, won't you tell me what's your name?"

"My name i-is Tora"

"Hmmm, Tora, right? Let's take a seat over there" I said, taking Tora's hand, guiding him to the bench I sat before. We sat there,

"So now Tora, won't you tell onii-chan what happened there?" I asked when I felt that he's calm enough to explain, then I take a look on his appearance. Just like I said he was very tiny, about the age of 3 or 4. He has white skin and amber eyes, and he has, blonde hair? Ah, why is my life always filled with blondes, is it a karma?

"I was waitin' for my 'tou-chan when those big onii-san came and asked me for money" What? They're trying to plunder this child! This is CHILD for god sake's! Then he continued "But I didn' hav any with me, but then they pushin me an started punchin me" Grrrr, those kids will pay someday I see them again!

"So, where's your 'tou-chan Tora-kun?" I was angrier with this child's father. How can he let his child alone on his own in this kind of place. "I don 'now, 'tou-chan always pick me up here, but he didn come" he explained. Grrr I have to give some lesson to this child's father, well then suppose I have to get this child home first.

"Okay, could you show me the way to your house Tora-kun?" I said, taking his hand again. He looked down, looking embarrassed again, hmm this kid is very shy I think. Then he said "Kay-"


We walked down the street with him showing me the way to his house. I was very surprised, of course, do you think a 3/4 years old child could remember the way to his own house from a place so far. When I said far, it's reealy far, you know. When we were walking he said "Ummm, onii-chan, what's your name?" he asked looking down again. Wow, I think this child is too shy for his own good.

"What, me? My name is Taichi, you can just call me Tai, Tora-kun" he looked up, with a confused expression "Tee?" I chuckled seeing the so innocent-confused expression on his face. "Hahaha, yes, yes, you can call me that too" "Okay, Tee-oniichan" this time he smiled.

After some more walking we finally arrived. He lived in an apartment complex, we got to the elevator and I got even more surprised when he told me the floor and the apartment number. Wow, is this kid for real.

"Okay then, here we go" I rang the doorbell, but there was no answer.

"I think 'tou-chan is not home yet" he said when there was still no answer

"Guess we'll have to wait until he get home ne?" I stated, looking at him, then I remember something, I looked at my watch. It's 12.15, oow I forgot about the practice, what should I do know?

"Ah, Tora-chan!" I heard a woman's voice calling Tora. I looked at the direction to see a middle-aged woman with some shopping bag. Tora approached her and started rummaging through her shopping bag.

"Are you his mother?" I asked the woman.

"No, my 'kaa-chan is going for awhile" I looked at Tora with a confused look on my face then I looked at the woman, she has somewhat sorry expression on her face. Realizations hit me, what a poor boy, he has to lose his mother in this age.

"I'm Sayuki, the neighbors. If I may know, who are you?"

"He's Tee-oniichan, he help me on the park" Tora answered for me.

"Yeah, he's been bullying by some kids there, fortunately I've been around there that time" I explained.

"Oh my god, are you okay Tora-chan? Where're your father?" Sayuki-san asked and examined his body for any kind of injuries. "I don 'now" When she found none of the injuries is too bad she said "C'mon Tora-chan let'sget you cleaned up, I'll call your father later"

"Errr, is it okay if I go now Sayuki-san?"

"Oh, why don't you come in and have a drink first"

"I guess I'll pass, I have some works to do now"

"Okay, and thanks for saving Tora-chan and for bringing him home"

"Well then, see ya later Tora-kun"

"See ya Tee-oniichan"

I leaved the apartment building and went straight to the practice field. Phew, what an eventful day, at least I could get my mind relax a bit now.

*TBC*
