Wow. I've been trying to upload this chapter for quite some time, but it just says there's an error when I've tried to upload it. GRRR, but I finally managed to post it.
This chapter was extremely hard for me to write, considering what happens…. at the end. It's very sad, but you'll just have to find out what happens for yourself. The chapter title gives you a hint.

CHAPTER TEN
HEAD GAMES
Tai bolted down the street with Davis by his side. He realized that it had been a while since he had gone for a run. It felt amazing. 'I should of gone for a run weeks ago. It's letting off way more anger, than I did sitting in my room.' Tai thought. As he ran feeling the cool summer breeze hit his face and blow through his crazy, untamed hair, he felt the stress and anger slowly leaving him. It was the best he had felt in months.
"HEY TAI!" A voice burst into his thoughts. Tai looked over his shoulder to see Davis trailing behind. "What made you speed up?"
"Sorry. It just feels so good. You don't know what it's like to spend everyday in your room, staring at empty walls. This is a big leap forward for me."
"Yeah, it is, and I'm glad you're getting over this 'it-will-be-too-awkward-so-I-am-going-to-ignore-Sora-and-everyone-else-by-sitting-in-my-room-alone-sulking' stage." Davis told him as he sped up, trying to catch up to Tai.
"Whoa! Hold up, Davis. I may be out of my room, but there is no way I can even think about talking to Sora yet." Tai said. He and Davis fell into a steady jog beside each other. Just then, Tai came to an abrupt halt when he heard a noise.
"Tai? Why'd you stop? We've got to get to the park!" Davis said, as he slowed down.
Tai pulled out his D-Terminal. "I got a message from Matt." Tai told him. He had an expression on his face that told Davis he wasn't exactly expecting it. Tai remained frozen with his D-Terminal in his hands.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Read it!" Davis urged him.
"Oh right…" Tai mumbled. He read the message over to himself and looked up at Davis when he was finished.
"What does it say?" Davis questioned after noticing Tai looked uneasy.
"It says: 'Meet me in the Digital World. It's urgent." Tai read.
"That's all?"
"Yep." Tai replied. "What do you think he wants?"
"Well, it could be that he wants…I don't know. Why would he want to meet you in the Digital World? That's kind of strange, don't you think so?" Davis responded.
"Should I go?" Tai asked.
"I don't know." Davis said.
"I don't know either. Maybe he just wants to talk?" Tai suggested.
"Maybe, but about what? What is so urgent that he needs to meet you right away, let alone in the Digital World?" Davis aid, but then he came up with a possible answer. "I think I know why."
"What?! Tell me!" Tai yelled in complete desperation.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
"YES! NOW TELL ME BEFORE I HURT YOU!" Tai shouted.
"I think he wants to talk to your about Sora…" Davis trailed off.
"ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN SORA AND I?" Tai inquired, irritably.
"No. He doesn't know that you kissed her, but he does know that someone did." Davis answered.
"How'd he find out? More importantly, how'd you find out? Who else knows?" Tai started bolting numerous questions at him.
"It's a long story that I don't have the time to tell right now. Just go meet Matt in the Digital World, and I'll go back to the park to warn the others about 'Sora.' It looks to be that she hasn't caused any trouble….yet." Davis told him.
"Okay." Tai agreed without question. He turned around and ran in the opposite direction. Davis continued forward.
Sometimes, splitting up can cost you your life.
Davis soon found himself at the park. It was quiet there, and there was definitely no Digi-Destined in sight. He automatically began to think the worst. How could he let Tai go alone? He quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Tai's number. 'Please pick up Tai.' He thought frantically as it rang. 'Your life could depend on it.'
Davis took a sigh of relief when he picked up. "Hey Davis—" He was cut off.
"TAI! GET OUT OF THERE! IT'S A—" Someone grabbed his cell phone from behind. Davis turned around slowly and thought he caught a glimpse of auburn hair. Before he had the chance to do anything, someone grabbed his arm "HEY!" He yelled.
"You're not going anywhere!" The person whispered into his ear.
"Let-me-go!" Davis cried, as he tried to escape the strong grip of the person that was holding onto him. He was turned around violently, and came face to face with his attacker. Sora. Of course, he should have seen this coming.
"Davis! Are you there? DAVIS!" He heard Tai yell from his cell phone. He watched in horror as Sora hung up his cell phone with an evil smirk. "I can't have you messing up my plans, now can I?" She said as she crushed his phone to pieces in her hand.
"HEY! That cell phone was expensive!" Davis yelled. Before he could do anything, he was thrown against a tree and fell to the ground.
(WARNING From here on…well, let's just say it gets ugly.)
Tai hung up his cell phone after hearing, "This line is no longer in service. Please call you service provider."
'That was weird.' He thought. 'Maybe Davis didn't pay his cell phone bill.'
He heard footsteps and turned around vigorously. Matt was walking towards him with a look on his face that gave Tai a bad feeling. "Hey Matt. What do you need to talk to me about?"
"I don't want to talk. I'm here to fight!" Matt yelled, his face full of determination.
"HOWLING BLASTER!" A blue icy beam shot through the air, hitting Tai square in the chest, knocking him off his feet.
He crashed to the ground, not being able to move a muscle. "Matt? What's gotten into you? Don't tell me this is a repeat of what happened four years ago!"
"No, I think the question is, what has gotten into you?"
Soon the other digimon came into view. Kabuterimon , Ikkakumon, Angemon, Angewomon, Digmon, Haulsemon, Stingmon, and Togemon. The Digi-Destined came out as well.
Tai noticed that they were all glaring at him, with icy cold stares. "Is this some kind of joke?!" Tai shouted. "Because it's not funny!" He tried to stand up, but it only resulted in pain.
"ELECTRO-SHOCKER!" Kabuterimon attacked. Tai barely dodged it.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!" Ikkakumon's torpedo crashed onto the ground a foot away from Tai, and an explosion erupted. Thick black smoke hovered in the air, making it impossible to see anything.
That's when a silver arrow came through the smoke. Tai didn't have time to think, to move, to do anything at all. The arrow struck him in the chest and it felt as if the life was being drained out of him. "That should knock the evil right out of him!" Matt shouted.
The smoke soon cleared and the Digi-Destined saw Tai's lifeless body lying on the ground, his shirt soaked in blood. They gasped. "Shouldn't that attack have freed him of the dark digimon possessing him?" T.K asked in a shaky voice. Kari grasped onto his arm with her life.
"It should of." Izzy said, his voice trembling as well. "It would of, if Tai was possessed."

Don't worry. It isn't over yet. The plot has just thickened even more.
IMPORTANT! IF YOU DON'T READ, YOU'RE MISSING OUT:
(I got this idea from Rika195)
I am having my first ever review contest on this chapter, as I probably will on future chapters. It's all about who has the most creative review. I LOVE humor, opinions/criticism, ideas, or anything else that I might find amusing (you can decide that for yourself.).
The winner will be informed by a message a couple days before I post the next chapter. Their prize will be to have any action/saying in the next chapter that they want. It can involve any character in this story, doing/saying anything they desire! (For instance, you cannot pick Takuya, since apparently, he is not in this fic.)
For example, someone could say:
I want the character T.K to say to Davis, "You have the attention span of a squirrel." (Courage Sun would probably pick that. Hehe.)
The possibilities are endless! So send in those reviews, by clicking that awesome little button down there. Remember, effort counts!
