Dreaming of Home

The Evil Disclamer:

I WANT TO OWN DIGIMON!
I WANT TO OWN JAPANS ANIME NETWORK
I WANT TO OWN SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
AND I WANT TO OWN ALL THE CARACTERS!

But I dont!
So please! DONT SUE ME!
I make no money what so ever making these fics, its totaly for my enjoyment and the readers enjoyment.

Digimon and all its characters look like they will always ( *crys* ) be owned by Taoi and Bandi and FoxKids and other mony sucking companys that are too rich for their own good!


~~Tais Point of View~~

I awoke from my drowsy sleep, I felt the floor I was sleeping on, it was soft, very soft, and my head, it was mounted on something softer.
Finally I opened my eyes and to my shock, I was, in my bed. I WAS HOME! IN MY BED!!!
Was it all a dream? No, it couldn't be, it was to real!
I hurried down my bunk bed and walked into the living room. I checked the clock, 9:15am and the calendar was marked on the day we went into the digital world. I thought about this for a second, I must have gone back in time or something. When I went to get something to drink from the fridge I noticed no one was home. I guess everyone's out. I looked outside and almost spat the entire content of my drink at the window. There was no one outside! The city! No one was in the city!
Maybe they are looking for us? I put my can of cola down and flicked on the TV. There was a report on about animals, except all you were looking at was a clearing, and there was no reporter. I flicked the channels and finally got to something, but it was a cartoon, they weren't really alive. I started to get scared and ran out the door from our apartment, into the elevator and down to the ground floor. The door opened so slowly it was like it was intimidating me. I stepped out and noticed something else. There were no trees, grass, birds, bugs anything!
Its like, anything that was living, was gone. All except 1, I noticed Izzy walking in my direction, he looked scared so I started to run up to him. "Hey Izzy over here!" I said waving. But he didn't respond, he just kept walking cautiously to what looked like my apartment. I went to touch him but my hand went right through him. "Izzy?" I said unconsciously. He stopped for a second as if he just heard something faint. "Sure Izzy, as if" Izzy said as he started to cry. I had never seen Izzy cry before, I guess its because he is always trying to be brave. I reached out to touch him again and felt something warm. It was a comforting warmness, like when someone hugs you. My hand started getting hot and I pulled it away.

Izzy-- "Tai, is, is that you?"

Izzy looked at me with shocked expressions showing everywhere.

Tai-- "Yeah its me, I saw you walking to my apartment and went to touch you but my hand went right through you, then I did it again and ....." I put my hand on Izzys shoulder. ".....for some reason my hand wont go through you anymore."

Izzy-- "Were did, you guys go? Is Matt ok?"
Tai-- "Matts fine, well, he was the last time I saw him, one minuet we were walking in the forest looking for you guys, then I lost Matt, found Gabumon who was hot on his trail so I decided to go to find you guys, second I'm here finding you in this totally demented world.

Izzy hesitated for a moment.

Izzy-- "Could you... hear me?"

I looked back, thinking it was a digimon, but there was nothing there.
I nodded at him and I could of sworn I saw a flash of fear pass through his eyes.

Tai-- "Izzy? You ok? Do you see something I don't"
Izzy-- "No, I'm fine, I just am kind of scared right now, I admit"
Tai-- "Yeah, this place is spooky, look at all the buildings, all the cars, the road the street lights everything! But were are all the people? Better yet, do you see anything that is alive apart from us two?"

Izzy looked around him as if to look for something.

Izzy-- "Yes I have noticed it too, I came across something before though..." Izzy said going into thought.
Tai-- "Something living?"
Izzy-- "A ha! There that's the garden shop!" Izzy pointed at a garden store.
Tai-- "No offence Izzy but gardening is the least thing on my mind at the moment, don't you have something a little bit... on topic?" He rolled his eyes at me.
Izzy-- "No Tai! The shop, it sells bark, come on I'll show you" Izzy started running towards the shop.
Tai-- "Izzy wait up, why are you so interested in bark?"
Izzy went in the automatic doors that seemed to also open very slowly.
As I caught up and went through the doors there was nothing there but bags of dirt, bark, and pots. Izzy was examining the bark.
Tai-- "Izzy what's going on? Since when did you have an interest in bark"
Izzy didn't stop observing the different pecies.
Izzy-- "Tai don't you see? Bark used to be living! That is, it came from something living. So that means something must be alive for any of these things to of taken place"
Tai-- "Wow yeah your right, gee I'm sure glad you were the smart guy picked to tell us these things. One because I would be going crazy if I didn't meet anyone by now. Two because without these predictions and awncers coming from you my brain wouldn't even make sense to me. And three, your my best friend, and you can always put it into words T.K would understand, witch is the same level I think I'm at right now" I smiled at him.
It was great to have a best friend to be lost with. At least you feel comfortable around them and you know you can talk to them without you thinking your a complete idiot, although I'm sure that's what Izzy thinks anyway.

Izzy stood up and smiled back.

Izzy-- "Thanks Tai, I'm glad im here with you because I lo--" Izzy coughed "because I it...... comfets me to be around the bravest person in the world, and also my life saver"

Tai-- "Hey it was nothing, while I may have the better physical side, you my friend are now saving my mind from total insanity by trying to work this stuff out."

Izzy smiled, he loved compliments, he never got to many at school, he was the in-doors working or in the computer room at luchtime guy.
Some people hated him for his intelligence, something I think is stupid, of course I know its just because they are jealous that he one day will be able to get a good high paying job that could easily support a family of his own. He could go anywhere and do anything with them, were as other kids have to work hard to compete with him for the same job, while they stay up till 2 every morning learning things he already knew in class, while he is at home, leaning more and more, making it an infinite pocess.






~~ Matts Point of View ~~





****WARNING SLIGHT HORROR SCEAN!! ****

"Matt wake up its me Gabumon!"
Not again...
"Matt.....I want to....eat you Matt....you look so chewy"
I was curled in a ball on the floor with my eyes shut tight.
So far, from what I can tell this is a nightmare.
I have been swallowed twice, ripped apart once and scrached to death another. I didn't feel anything, I just felt scared. Everytime it wouuld get worse. Gabumon looked scarer each time he attacked me. I couldn't get out of this madness.
"Matt, dont be scared, it will only hurt for a while, Digimon get hungry too you know, and it my nature to hunt for meat."
Thats it, I'm getting sick of it now.

I got up and looked at him, his stare alone shook me up so badly it was hard to stand up.

"Oh you got up, you going to run from your friend?" His voice sounding like fingernails on a chalkbord.

His eyes glowed, the left one was red, while the other was yellow.

He was totaly black, a sotty black, with scratches and scares all over his body, his fur was shredded and a small constant flow of blood came out of his nostrals.
His horn was broken off at half way and it looked like he tryed to sharpen it with a knife.

I was in a nowere, it was black everywere, exsept me and Gabumon.

"So, Matt, ARE you going to run again?" Asked Gabumon angryly

"No"
"Oh well" he smiled "Easy food for me this time"

He lunged at me and had a firm grip on my left arm with his teeth. I punched with my right arm and leg.
I was shocked to relise that every time I did this, were ever I hit him, he shattered like glass.
I kept kicking and punching untill his body was gone and now he was just a head, an angry head.
I bashed his right eye and it shattered, then he suddinly dissapered.
Feeling relieved I sat back down and thought about what I had just experenced.
I was shaking and very afraid of possably fainting.
When Gabumon shattered, he had nothing inside him, it was like it was just a moving glass frame.

**** End of Horror Scean ****

"Matt..."

It was Gabumon again, he was right behind me.

I got up really fast and swoung a puch landing it on his noise, only this time, he didn't shatter.
"YEEOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!" The world started to fade back, and I soon relised that I had punched the real Gabumon in one of his most sencitive spots, I knew it was Gabumon becausae he didn't look scary or sound scary.

"Gabumon!! Oh Gabumon I'm SOO sorry" I appologised
"Gabumon, please forgive me, I was having this nightmare and, I thought you were gonna eat me and--"
"Its ok Matt, I know, ouch" He said holding his noise.
"Here, let me look at that for you" I said removing his two hands.
And just like in my dreem, his noise started bleeding, two small streems fell from each nostral.
It looked so much like my dream I started getting worried, that maby I didn't really wake up. This would be worse because I could feel everything that I touched this time.

"Uhh, here" I put a hesitant hand under his mouth, and pressed it up.
"Keep your noise up and it will help stop the blood flow"
I touched his noise ever so slightly and he yelped in pain again.
"Sorry, I should of known it would hurt" I said aplogeticly.
"Dont worry about it, I know your just trying to help" He replyed with a soft freindly voice.
Gabumon was the best, he had such a friendly face, he had a friendly smile, voice, and best of all, a good personality. He was the best person, or rather digimon I ever knew.

We were in a cave, Gabumon found me lying in the ground, he said he could smell me from a mile away becaause of the sencitive noise he has (that is now out of action thanks to me). Last thing I knew was, I had met this strange guy in a hooded cloke, to being found by Gabumon. Gabumon told me that Biomon had sopotted Izzy and they were going after him. T.K wanted to go with Gabumon but Gabumon refused to let him go, he would be much safer with Sora and Mimi and their digimon plus his digimon, insted of Just gabumon, him and Patamon.
I was really pleased with Gabumon, thinking about my brother like that, he is so sensibal, thats why I put alot of fathe and trust into him.

I wonder if its daylight yet?
We were quite far in the cave, Gabumon had a small fire going to keep me warm, the same thing as Tai did, I had major Dejavoo last night.

Speeking of Tai, apparantly he went off to find the others, Gabumon and him found eachother and agreed to seperate. It didn't quite make sence to me, but I trusted my Digimon so I left it to that.

~~ Izzys Point Of View ~~

Hmm... that would make sence..

Tai-- " I wonder if I forgot how to read, maby both of us have"
The latest development started when we tryed to read a tag to find out were the bark came from. Nither of us could read it, the letters were all gumbled up, we trued reading signs that said "reHayiQ JmbcKlwaz" and News papers with upside down words placed all over. The only thing that wasn't missing were the pictures. They were fine, but the words in the pictures wern't.

Izzy-- "Tai i hink I got it, my theory is we are just in a dreem of some sort"
Tai-- "How did you manage that Izzy?"
Izzy-- "Well, about year ago I stumbled apon a webpage dedicated to the human brain. It had lots of intresting information and I ended up reading it all."
Tai-- "Man Izzy its like your studying for you very own exsam"
Izzy-- "Yes well, getting back to the point I remember comeing accros some information about what parts of the brain do what. And on the left hand side of the brain there is a section that handles your reading ability, on the right there is a seperate section that handles your dreaming ablity. If we really are dreaming it would make sence that cant read anything because right now we are using the right hand side of the brain while the left is dorment."
Tai-- "So your saying all this is just a dreem?"
Izzy-- "Presisely, the right hand side cannot read and that would be the side we are using right now."
Tai-- "So whats your plan on waking us up? This place is creepy"
Izzy-- "Uhh well, I'm kinda still working on that"
Tai-- "Great....." Tai finished sarcasticly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn't untill night fell that we had given up and went to Tais apartment. We had tryed everything imaginable and pratical, from making noises to running into walls. Nothing seemed to wake us.

We finnaly started to get tired (which was weird because we, in theory were already sleeping) and headed for bed, Tai was on the top bunk while I was on the bottom bunk.

Tai-- " I dont know about you Izz but I'm suddinly really sleepy"

I thought about it that for a second.

Izzy-- "Hey Tai, do you think we could have a dreem within a dreem?"

Tai-- "I hope not, what if I dont wake up from that one ither! I'll have two to get out of!"
Izzy-- "Then, in that case the safest thing to do would be to not fall asleep"
Tai-- "Your kidding! I was only joking you know"
Izzy-- "Tai you raised a good point, we can't afford to fall asleep"
Tai-- "Why do I ever open my big mouth..."

There was a silence between us and I was afraid that Tai had gone to sleep.

Izzy-- "Tai? You awake?"
Tai-- "Yes, I'm still here"
Izzy-- "Oh ok, just wondering"

There was yet another long silence and all through it I was thinking and thinking about everything that had happend.
Tai had already saved me alot in the past and today he carryed me, risking his own life for his. He really cared for me. Not somthing I get too much of, thats why I turn to computers and school. Whenever I'm studying I escape from my emotions, I could loose the voices of the school students teasing me because I had a gift they didn't posses. The way I saw it, my gift was more a curse, a curse that damned me to endless suffering. No one knew, not even my parents, that all I wanted, was to be normal. To be like them, but I could never be normal, it was too late, I had to live with my choice you can't just go changing it. It dosn't work that way.




~~Tais Point Of View~~





Tai-- "Izzy do you think we will ever get out of this dream?"
Izzy-- "Most likely, I just need to think about it more"

I began thinking about today, the weird today, and last night with Matt. I wish I was with Matt again although now I'm back with my best friend. Izzy. I thought about Izzy and how long I had known him, although we didn't share the same intrest Izzy remained my very best friend. Now that I have relised I'm gay I began to relook those years and relised I liked Izzy alot more than I thought I had, ALOT more.

He rivals Matt. But he is the complete oppisite of Matt.

Izzy is smart, Matt is probibly adverage, Matt is a 'cool dude', Izzy isn't Matt is blond, Izzys a red head. Matt is tall, Izzy is short. And this list goes on and on.

Then I remembered I would always play soccor with him in the carparks, we played at the citys park too and had a blast. We teased the girls and phranked the boys... That is...untill he started staying inside....said he had other things to do, after that we didn't see eachother much, only at school.
Now I feel like I did before, like we never lost contact, like none of this ever happend.

Now that I know my true feelings, I think of him as soo smart.......soooo sexy.....sooo......Izzy.....
But I need to know if this is really him, and if it is this would be a good time to think up some things to ask him. I debeated with myself on what to say and eventually came up with the ever so lame;

Tai-- "Izzy...do you feel anything? Like fear and excitement and...other things?"
Izzy-- "Yes why?"
Tai-- "Well I was just thinking about this deam stuff and normaly I don't feel like I do now in a dream"
Izzy-- "What do you feel like?"

Woah! Did that..? NO snap out of it Tai he just made a clumsy mistake......or did he?

Tai-- "Exuse me?!?"
Izzy-- "Uhhh...what I mean is what are you feeling..." Izzy quickly corrected himself.

I felt a bit confussed, was he thinking along the same lines as I? I couldn't believe it! It cant be real! He said it with his own.....no......this is just a dream.....its just a dream, how could I forget. I suddinly lost my excitement and relised there was a uneasy scilence in the room.

I threw my covers off me and jumped off the bunk to face Izzy.
Tai-- "Izzy, if this really is you, then, what was the first sports card you ever owned?"
Izzy-- "Umm.... I think it was one you bought me, it was a picture of our towns best baseball player"
Tai-- "What about mums cooking? Is it true they taste like garbage?"
Izzy-- "What do you mean? I like your mothers recipies!"

He even got the trick question right....it MUST be Izzy!

Tai-- "And what did you really mean about 'What do you feel like' ?"

Izzy fell scilent and turnd around to face the wall.

Izzy-- "nothing" He mumbled

I knew it! This is great! Izzy likes me! Tachi Kamiya!
I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Tai-- "Nothing eh?"

Matts Point Of View

Matt-- "Were was the way back to camp?" I asked Gabumon. We were out of the cave now and in the sun filled lanscape.
Gabumon-- "To be honest I really dont know, usally I just use my noise for navigation but I can't smell a thing"
Matt-- "Great, well we might as well go find some food, I'm starving, how about you Gabumon?"
Gabumon-- "Sounds great! But does it have to be fish again?"
Matt-- "Might have to be, ither that or berryes. Why are you complaining? You cant even taste without your nose!"
Gabumon-- "OH Matt you know I was only kidding!"
Matt-- "Yeah well stop its driving me insane!" I snapped, immediatly feeling bad.
I sighed and appologised. I really should watch my temper, and focous on what has and is happening.
Matt-- "Hey do you think Tai will worry?"

Gabumon didn't speek for a moment.

Gabumon-- "Tai? Or Tai and the...others"

Doh, how could I be so stupid!

Matt-- "Well you know, what I ment is, well because Tai is the selfproclaimed leader, he should, be, the one to worry."

Duhh, well that went smooth!

Gabumon-- "Oh ok Matt"

Gee, my digimon really believed me. He is a doofis sometimes! I laughed mentaily.

"Who is this... Tai?" I heard a voice behind me, and Gabumon got straight to his feet. Obviosly he wasn't as alurt because of his lack of smelling ability.
I turned almost loosing my balance because of the partial shock that ran through me.
I reconoise this person, he is the one I talked to before meeting up with Gabumon.

Matt-- "Who ARE you?"

"I told you, I'm nobody I do not exsist in physical form yet"

Matt-- "What do you mean yet, besides, thats not possable"

"Ahh, young one, so nieve, so silly, so stupid"

Matt-- "Who are you calling stupid you freak!"

"You of course, you see, I know all about you, and your Gabumon, and your friend Tai, you wont want to know what I can show you"

Matt-- "Wha? What do you mean? Awncer ME!"

"Well, I am awear of your feelings for Tai, feelings that at present have not made their way to the surface. Not even you yourself will be awear of them untill somthing sparkes it off"

I thought about that for a second. If what I THOUGHT I was feeling was real, then the true feelings would just be a start.

"Yes, yes, I see they are starting to crawl out of their containment"

Matt-- " What did you mean by not liking what i could show you? What have you done to them?" I demanded totaly ignoring his statements.

"Are you sure you want to know? I have them imprissend in my castle"

Somthing like a portal opened in frount of were he was standing and a picture of Tai and Izzy hugging eachother in a prisen cell with the other digidestand sleeping as well.

"You see, Tai has no intrest in you, he only saved you because he needs you to get out of this world."

The words 'no intrest' cut right through me like a knife sclicing a tomato.

Gabumon-- "Matt don't listen to him its not true!"

"You dont believe me? Then look at what they are doing in their dream!"

The image in frount of me changed into Tai and Izzy in bed, the same bed, doing....

Gabumon-- "Matt dont listen to him, he is evil I can sence it! He wants to make troubble!"

I really more than anything wanted to belive my digimon, but somthing told me otherwise, the little voice in my head told me he was right, whoever or whatever he was.

"I told you you wouldn't like it, I should go, you belive what you want"

Matt-- "WAIT! Take me to were Tai and Izzy are! I want to see this for myself!"

Then in a blink of an eye, I found myself in a room, a dark room, Gabumon was no were to be seen, nither was that creepy guy, I noticed Tai and Izzy asleep cuddeling eachother and took 2 steps towards them before I heard another voice.

"Welcome to my home, I, am Devimon"

Well thats it for chapter 7!!!

It was actully going to be longer but I decided to toucher all you people out there :)

I think Tai and Izzy Are gonna get the funky thing ON!!! YEAH!!

*Matt wacks Sebby in the face with a 'stick'*

Taichi-- "Im sure Sonic would like to me to mention that you should review this chapter so he can make more and so I and evetually decide who I'm gonna be with"

Izzy-- "And Sonic would also probibly like me to thank you on his part for reading his fic because now he is gonna tie Tachi up with me"

Matt-- "Thats not gonna happen shorty cos I'M the one Tachi-chan is ending up with"

Izzy-- "No ME!!"

Matt-- "Come on get real, its me!"
