The New Kid in School.
In this story the characters are OOC, but especially Tai in all his angst. It's going to be Taito, eventually, with a little Sorato. I really don't like that pairing, so it won't last very long. Other pairings to come.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
The Reviews are great, thanks everyone. I will try to make the chapters longer, but I won't promise anything.
A/N: Sorry the chapter's short, I will try to make the next one longer.
On with the story:
School passed without incident. Meaning, I didn't run into Matt for the rest of the day, nor did he try to approach me again. But I had more important things to think about. Like finding Gennai, the other three digidestined, and finding out who the Digimon Emperor really is. No time to rest and no time to worry about Matt and that stupid kiss. I figured the best way to find the other three kids would be to split up and each group take a popular kids hangout and a D-3. Kari and T.K. went to a DoJo gym with the Knowledge D-3. Izzy, you'll be replaced. At one point I never would have allowed that to happen, and now I can't wait for you to know how replaceable you really are. Mimi and Ken went to the park with the Friendship D-3. Matt was the Child of Friendship, but it seems he doesn't even know the meaning of the word. Not that it matters, he is not one of us. As long as I have breath in my body he never will be. Joe had to go home and study. He wants to become a doctor, and his studying takes up a lot of his time. It doesn't seem that the Child of Reliabilty is reliable anymore, but that would be wrong. Joe may study a lot, but he also keeps his cell on 24/7. Just in case we need a ride, a friend, a first aid kit, or anything. He's a great guy. I wonder if he and Mimi will ever hook up, or maybe that's just too weird. But anyway, getting back to the matter at hand, with Joe studying, that left me alone to go find a digidestined. So I went to the mall after school with the Love D-3. I wonder if love really can save us all? We did fine without the Child of Love, maybe this time will be different.
I walk into the mall, getting a slight chill from the A/C. I begin to roam around, wondering how the others are doing. I constantly check on the D-3 to see if it has begun to glow. We figured that if the D-3 came in close proximity of its child it will begin to glow. Hopefully. As I make my way through the mall, I am aware of two things: 1) Matt is here and 2) He's with the Child of love along with a couple other people, including his girlfriend, Sora. I clench my fists. Ugh! Wait. . .am I jealous? Hmmm? No way! Can't be. Bah! Must focus on the task at hand. If only they would separate so I could pinpoint which person from their little group was making the D-3 glow. I follow behind a few feet away, willing them to separate.
I get my wish. Two of their friends separate off from them, leaving Matt, Sora, and that girl Yolei, who didn't want to be friends with my sister. The D-3 is still glowing, which means that it is either Sora or Yolei. Neither person I care for, and if I could I wouldn't tell either one of them, but I have to. I may need their help. I laugh quietly to myself think how Izzy surrounded himself with two Digidestined, when he tried so desperately to get away from us.
I am so caught up in my thoughts, that I don't realize that they had stopped until I run right into Matt, who was facing me and had also put his arms around me to steady me. I look over at Sora who was not happy, and then back to Matt who was watching me with an intense interest. I glare back, and that throws him off. I use the moment to wrench myself free from him. Only to be assaulted by Sora's voice.
"Why don't you watch where you're going Schizo Freak. What were you doing? Following us?. . ." and she continued on, but I blocked her out as I realized that Yolei wasn't with them, and the D-3 wasn't glowing. So I do the one thing no one has ever done before. . .I interrupt Sora on one of her tirades.
"Where's Yolei? I need to find her. . .right now."
Sora is shocked that I interrupted her as is Matt. I roll my eyes and look around. We are standing in front of the girl's bathroom. I make my way inside, hearing Matt call out that it was the girl's bathroom, and I couldn't go inside. I ignore him and open the door, cautiously, before venturing inside.
Luckily Yolei was the only one in here. She was at the sink, and I make my way over to her, making sure the D-3 was glowing. Which it was. Perfect, I have the right person after all.
"Yolei," I start.
She spins around, shocked and scared. "What do you want?" she stutters out.
I hold out the D-3. "This is a D-3, I have one too. It appears that you are the Child of Love. We have to get your digimon so you can begin bonding with him, and we have to find your digiegg. I know it's a lot to take in, and if you need proof, I can give you that proof. But you must believe me. The world as you know it is at stake, we have to save it and the Digiworld."
Yolei just stares at me, but after a few minutes she speaks, "Show me the proof then." I let out a breath as I realize that she is willing to at least believe me. I never noticed before, but she has soft, caring eyes. We walk out the door after I tell her no one can know about what has just transpired. We walk past Sora and Matt, who are demanding to know what just happened. Well Sora was, Matt was just watching me leave, or maybe he was checking out my ass. It's not as if I care. Before we were out of earshot, Sora let out a parting shot, "If you leave with him, we are no longer friends, Traitor."
I look over at Yolei who just stares ahead, but grabs my hand and smiles softly. I look back, seeing that Matt has taken Sora's arm and was leading her away. Our eyes meet, and he nods his head at me. I glare back at him, and he just smiles. Grrrrr, he is so annoying.
We walk to one of the school's computer rooms, and I hold up my D-3, and tell her to do the same. We enter into the Digiworld, and I take a huge breath. We landed near a Biyomon village. There was also a control spire being erected. Biyomon and Agumon were trying to fight off the Bakamon, and stop the Control Spire from being erected. I looked up at the cliffs surrounding the village and saw Hawkmon on one of the ledges.
"Up there. That's you're digimon, Hawkmon. We have to go get him and help Biyomon and Agumon. You go get Hawkmon, and I'll help out the others. Join us when you have Hawkmon," I said.
"What? You want me to go up there by myself? It could be dangerous," Yolei cried.
"Of course it'll be dangerous, but you have to have faith in your digimon. Don't worry. You'll be fine." I take off running towards Agumon and Biyomon. I look back to see Yolei climbing the cliff.
I rally all of the Biyomon and Agumon to help me destroy the Control Spire before it could be erected. After a few minutes, we were able to hold the Bakamon at bay by the techinque that Joe came up with: the "Bakamon lose your power" chant. (A/N: This idea is from the show, but I can't remember the episode.) Unfortunately, the Digimon were too small to take on Meramon, so the Spire was erected before Agumon or Biyomon could Digivolve.
Luckily though, Yolei arrived with a new evolved Hawkmon, or should I say Halsemon. "Hey Tai," Yolei called. "I found my Digi-egg of Love. Love totally rocks, and so does Hawkmon, or should I say Halsemon."
Within minutes the Control Spire was destroyed, and it herald the arrival of someone else.
"How dare you destroy another of my spires. Just what do you think you are doing here? This is my domain," a figure in the shadows retorted.
"Your domain? This is the Digiworld. Home of the Digimon, our friends. We won't let you control or hurt them," I bit out.
"Who are you? Show yourself," Yolei declared.
The figure stepped out and I let out a gasp. It was Mimi's American friend.
"Willis," I gasped. Well we found the Digimon Emperor, Mimi is not going to like this.
And that's where I'm leaving it. So Tai had luck finding Yolei, but will the others have the same luck, and why is Willis the Digimon Emperor? A lot more than this will happen next chapter.
