Chapter 10: Parting Reunion
They were on the ground for nearing ten minutes only breathing. Having the blond on his like this felt familiar. It felt good and right to be like this. The fog clouding his mind slowly started to lift.
Davis caught up to the boys holding Agumon's egg. He was surprised when the dulling glow started to shine brighter.
"Yama, what's going on? Are we in the Digi World?" Tai sounded confused breaking the silence over them.
Matt kissed the back of Tai's neck before moving so the brunette could turn around and look at him. But it was a quick glance as Matt pulled him into a tight hug. "I missed you so much Taichi. I was so worried I'd never see you again." Tai's jacket has getting damp as Matt cried on it.
Tai hugged back rubbing circles on the blonde's back. "Yama I have no clue what's going on, but I'm sorry for worrying you."
"Um guys, I'm glad you're finally back together but maybe we should head back to Gennai's place before something bad happens." He had a strange feeling someone or something was watching them.
Brown eyes went to stare into the ocean blue ones of his lover. But instead he was greeted by closed lids. "You haven't been sleeping well, have you Yama?" Tanned hands played with silk golden locks.
"Tai we should get moving." Davis's chocolate eyes were glancing around encase something decided to pop out at them.
The brunette nodded and started to wake the one on top of him. "Yama I have to get up now."
"Meh comfy," came the muffled reply as he his nuzzled Tai's chest.
"I know angel. But we can get ever comfier by going back to Gennai's."
Blue eyes slight creaked opened. "You promise?"
"Of course." Satisfied with the reply Matt got off Tai only to be swept off his feet into the brunette's strong arms. "You can go back to sleep now if you want Yama."
Davis rolled his eyes as he watched Matt nuzzle his head into Tai's neck. Tai kissing the pale forehead.
"Cute," Davis scoffed before heading off back to Gennai's house. Tai quietly following with Matt clinging to his shirt.
"Davis did you find him?" a panicked Ken asked when his koi walked in.
The boy gave his trademark goofy smile. "He's not the only one I found."
"What do you…" Tai walked into the room and put Matt on one of the futons set out. "Kamiya sempai?"
"What? Tai is here? Davis you idiot how could you bring the enemy to our base!"
"Hold on Yolie I don't think he's being controlled."
"You're still very observant Cody. Somehow Matt pulled me out of the daze I was in. At least I think that's what happened. I'm still confused about things myself."
"I still don't trust this. It could be some trap set up by Chaos."
After Yolie spoke the egg Davis was carrying glowed with a blinding orange tint light. "Botamon!" Tai exclaimed taking the Digimon out of Davis arms.
"Botamon digivolve to Koromon."
"Tai I missed you. Why did you leave me?"
"I wish I could tell you buddy. But everything is kind of foggy at the moment. The last thing I remember is being in the apartment with Yama, and then waking up in the forest."
"Everyone settle down now." Gennai walked into the room with a tray filled with cups and a tea pot. "We have a lot to plan and little time to do it in. And with Tai being back on our side things have gotten slightly easier."
"Um, is someone going to explain things to me?"
"Do you want the short or long version?" Davis asked with his goofy smirk.
"I think I'll go for the short version."
"Okay, Ken you tell him."
"Why me?"
"Cause you love me."
"I don't care who tells me, just tell me already."
"Okay," Gennai started in. "ChaosMyotismon is trying to take control of our worlds again. And in order to do this he needs the power of the Knights of Darkness."
"Who are they?" Tai interrupted.
"If you let me finish you would have your answer."
"Sorry sir." Tai sat quietly with his hand playing with Yama's hair.
"Now the Knights of Darkness are the eight original Warriors of Light. He managed to get seven of you gathered. He must be thinking that with you and T.K., Matt will fall into his trap and he'll have all eight of you. But we started to form a resistance with Matt as our leader."
"Okay, I get that now. But how can I make things easier?"
"Gennai are you thinking of using Kamiya sempai as a spy in Chaos's castle?"
"That's right Ken. He can get in there without anyone questioning it and report back his findings through Pixiemon. And when we attack he'll have the best access to Kairi. He can also provide us with hidden passages to get inside."
"But what if Chaos finds out?"
"Don't worry Cody, I'll be careful not to get caught. There is too much at stake here to fail. Its kind of like the time we fought Apocalymon."
"I'm glad you see it that way. Now can I suggest you get back before you are noticed missing."
"Gennai do I have to leave so soon? I want to spend some more time with Yama."
"There will be plenty of time for that later. Right now you must carry out your mission. Good luck and please remember to recycle.
The five kids exchanged a questioning look with each other, but eventually shook their heads and let the recycle part pass.
After a quick goodbye to the sleeping blond Tai ran off into the dead of night. Gennai provided a map to Chaos's castle so he wouldn't get lost. Koromon stayed behind with the others to keeps Tai's secret safe. After all it would only be a matter of time before he digivolve to Agumon. Plus he was a warning system if Tai was slipping back to the darkness.
