Chapter 12

Joe POV

I look down at my notes, none of these are making no sense what so ever to me right now and I have a test on Wednesday. I look to clock I have digital shift today, we will not find anything just like the hundred times we went out there before. I know Tai offer me, to take some of my digital shift if I need the time to study. I sigh and look over to where Gomamon is laying. "Gomamon do you think it be alright if I ask Tai to take my digital shift today? I'm having a hard time understanding these note."

Gomamon looks over to me "Well before we considered that option, are you sure you don't have them upside down?" I hear Gomamon chuckling.

"Gomamon that only happen one time. One time, and that was because it was really late and I was tired." I say to sternly. Gomamon look at my face and starts laughing.

"Did you check this time?" Gomamon ask me with grin on his face. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of me looking at my notes. I check them out of the corner of my eye, nope not upside down.

"Yes Gomamon they are not upside down this time…" I tell him this. Then I try and get him back on to the original question I asked "So do you think it going to be aright if I ask Tai?" I want to know what Gomamon opinion is, I felt bad last time I did this since I end up missing a big meeting. I didn't get to voice my opinion at the meeting. I was just told that we were going to trust this new Sora that show up. Clones just don't show up for any reason! Well that doesn't matter now, I'm happy that Tai and this new Sora were able to make it work between them.

"Well Joe, if we did ask Tai I don't think he would mind. Since last time he didn't even have to do a shift. That not the problem here Joe…. Don't you want to hang out with me?" I sigh he right the only real time I hang out with Gomamon is on weekend and digital shift. Lately not so much on the weekend since the classes this semester are all really hard.

I sigh "Gomamon you know that not true, you're here now, you been here all weekend in fact…" Gomamon doesn't look happy with this answer. "How about this I'm going to have to take a break at some point today, when I do that you have me for a full hour of not worrying about studying, plus I won't bring my notes to the table when we eat lunch and dinner today?"

Gomamon looks happy with this but says "Oh that sounds fine with me, but if you can give me an hour for you study break, why can't we use the digital world as a study break?"

I sigh at Gomamon he not wrong. It what I usually do use the digital world shift on the weekend for, I don't think I can do that this weekend though. "Gomamon I think I can a one hour break with you and be fine… It's just that digital shift takes about three hours most of the time, and sometime even the whole day. Did you hear what happen to TK and Kari on Tai big soccer game? They were busy the whole day with a tuff war, I know if I saw it I would help sort it out as well… I'm just worry that if I take it I'll be too behind in my studies for the test this Wednesday."

Gomamon sighs in defeat "Well if you put it that way, I think we should ask Tai. I know how important it is for you to become a doctor."

I nod at Gomamon. "Thanks for understanding Gomamon." I pull out my cell phone from my deck top compartment.

TO: TAI

Hey Tai, I was wondering if you could take my digital shift this afternoon it is at 1:00 at the Ancient Glacial Region? I know you said you offer to do it for me if I was ever feeling like I need more time to study for a test. I feel like I do need to study more for a test on Wednesday.

SENT AT 10:04

I sighed well now it sent. I don't feel any better about it though. Well let's get back to studying for the time being. I keep my phone on my desk for when Tai gets back to me.

BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ

I pick up my Phone and see that Tai has gotten back to me.

TO: JOE

Received at 10:16

Yep sure thing, I want to talk about some stuff with Agumon anyways today. Don't fry your brain, with too much study Joe. You can turn off your phone if want, I can handle whatever happens until Wednesday.

FROM: TAI

"Hey Gomamon, it like we don't have to take the shift today, Tai got it covered." I shout over to Gomamon. Well time to get back these book with anymore distinction and with that I shut off my phone.

Agumon POV

This sun feels really nice today, I think I'm just going to lay here all day if can. I hear something when I start to doze off into a nice sleep. "Hey Agumon are you around here?" Oh that sounds like Tai. Looks like Tai came for a visit today!

"TAI, OVER HERE!" I shout to him. He makes his way over to me. "Hey Tai, what are you doing here? I don't think we have shift today?" I say that trying to remember when our next shift is meant to be. I hope he didn't pick up another one again.

"Well, ya we do, Joe ask me to take his today. Since I was planning on coming here today to see you anyways, I thought I could take it for him." He says this while sticking back of his head. Well at least Tai want to see me today.

That can wait though, "What time do we have to do it today?" If I sound defeat, it because I was, I just want to relax today without a shift.

"Agumon are you okay with buddy? And to answer your question it at 1:00 it's 10:30 right now." He sounds really worry about me. Wait he doesn't sound like his worse than sad feeling! Biyomon told she got Sora to bake those cookies for him, they must of work!

"Well I was just feeling down that I couldn't relax today, but that doesn't matter now! You're not feeling your worse than sad feeling that you had all year!" I say very happily to Tai, I'm really glad he not feeling like that, I really didn't like those feeling. They were really dark, almost similar to but different to when I digivolve to SkullGreymon now I think about it.

Tai chuckles at this, "Ya buddy those feeling have gone away for good I think. Also I'm sorry I took away your day off without asking you, I won't do that again buddy." He smiles at me like all those time ago during our first adventure, not like those fake one he been using the past year. "I'm also sorry for how I treat you over this past year. I wasn't a very good friend for shutting you out like that." When Tai says that he can't look me in the eye.

I run and hug him "I don't care about any of that, your back to normal now that all I care about now!" he pats my head while I'm hugging him, I like that. "Hey Tai you said that you want to talk about something with me what was it?" I ask him then let go of our hug. I sit down on the ground and Tai join me on the ground, by sitting right beside me.

He chuckles "Well the first thing is that I want to say sorry for how I treat you last year, it like we got that over with unless you want to say anything more?" I shake my head, don't want Tai ever going near those feeling again. "Well the second thing is about my relation with the new Sora we found." He turn to me with a very serious face before he continue "This is a pirate matter buddy so no talk about this to anyone, do understand me?" I nod. I get that somethings aren't meant to be share with other people now.

Tai Leans back on to the grass so his head is now in the shade. "Well thing have been going great for me and Sora, I really love her. I don't think I would be able to live without her anymore, now that she here. She just too knitted into my life right now, for her to just disappear." He sighs "Do you know what sex is?"

I shake my head, "No I don't think so Tai." He sighs again.

"Err maybe if I put this way, mating or lovemaking, does any of those make sense to you? Like how do new Digi-eggs get made?" he looks really shy asking that.

"Well if you put it that way, I think I understand, we don't have to do that way. I think it a really old way of making Digi-eggs? But wait are you trying to make a Digi-egg with Sora?" I ask Tai, why does he want to do that isn't really painful when a Digi-egg is made that way?

Tai eye goes so huge when I ask him that. "What no Agumon, not at all. Thought that is a problem. The main problem is that for human, a way you can show love physically is by having sex for fun, since it very pleasurable to both people. The problem is that sometimes the relationship can be based off Sex if it would to show up too early in the relationship." He sighs, I think I get what he saying, I didn't know it could be pleasurable, maybe I should ask Biyomon about this. I only thought it could be only hurtful because of how the egg is produced. He continue to explain sex to me. "Well you see Sora wanted to have sex with me, I didn't because of two reason. The first is that I didn't want our relationship to be base off sex. The second is because I was thinking of the other Sora, which you're not meant to do. When you performing lovemaking you're meant to be with one person and not think of someone else. Since it be like not loving them fully or not committed to the relationship. So when I thought of Sora instead of the one I was with, it broke the mood for me." He sighs "I felt like I shouldn't be having sex with my Sora, since I would be betraying Sora trust somehow." He stops for a second. "Remember when Devimon made that fake mansion with the hot spring and boy and girl went into different baths. Gomamon try to go into the girl bath, I think it was because he thought it would be less crowded for swimming. He got kick out since you're not meant to look at girls without clothes on unless they give you permission to do so." He stops so I can answer him if I understand him.

"Ya I remember that time the girls where not happy and Joe pull Gomamon off to the side to yell at him." I answer him. I remember that time well Gomamon taught us all a good lesson that day.

"Well my Sora give that permission to do so, and well since she look like Sora and the other Sora hasn't give me that permission it felt wrong for me to continue." He says this and I nod, I can understand they look exactly alike.

"But Tai how are you going to get Sora permission?" I ask him, that seen like the easiest way to solve this problem. Tai look like he turn to stone when I ask him that.

"Well Agumon you really can't ask for it you have to be given it. It given when two people are really close in their relationship." He tries and explain to me, I still don't get it.

"But aren't you and Sora really close? I'm sure she will give it to you if you ask nicely?" I ask him, Tai and Sora are one of the two closest people I know this should be easy for him to get permission.

"No buddy we're close to each other, but not like that. It would be very rude for me to ask that, since it a very pirate thing to do. My relation with Sora is Friendship, while she and Matt or I and my Sora are boyfriend and girlfriend." He looks at me with a concern look on his face.

"Well isn't she a girlfriend, like Mimi or how like Matt or Izzy are boyfriends?" I ask and as soon as I did Tai shoot up from where he was laying.

Tai look at me shake his head "No they are friends, when you add the boy in boyfriend or girl in girlfriend, which mean you're in a relationship that different from friendship. One with that you would like to spend time with, and that you might live together with for your rest of your life if it works out."

"OH okay. So you can't ask Sora because she not your girlfriend but a friend?" I ask him. He nods and then lays back down. "So what are you going to do about that then?"

Tai Sighs "I don't know to be honest, I was think of spend more time with her so I don't think of the times of when I was with Sora instead of my Sora." He stops for a second before he continues "That wasn't the only problem, we human have ways so we can have sex for fun without the chance of having a baby or Digi-egg if you have to think of it like that. We call it protection, since there are a few of them available to us to stop a baby from happening. When we almost had sex last night, I wasn't even thing of that and neither was Sora, we are way too young to have a baby right now. What scares me is I didn't even think of it at the time, I was like in some sort of trance until I thought of Sora in her tennis uniform." He sits up look around then stares at me hard. "IF Sora ever finds out I thought of her like that in her tennis uniform, you will be dead to me as your only person who know about that."

I nod scarily "Of course no one was ever going to hear this talk anyways…." Well I was going to ask Biyomon a few thing, but I make sure to leave that tennis uniform out…. Tai sit back down.

"I want to talk to someone about it, to see if I was doing the right thing or not, and since it pirate I don't want people finding out. It is not that any of my friends would tell anyone, it just that I don't want them to know that all. I was hoping I could talk to you about this and have you tell me what to do. It was this or Mimi since she already has an idea of what going on, and I just didn't feel comfortable going into this much detail since she is a girl. Also Agumon before you ask, girl and guys don't usually share this information, I don't even know anything about Sora and Matt and I would rather keep it that way." He turn his head toward me and looks at me. "So what do u think buddy did I do the right thing by not having sex with her?" he sighs "If you want ask anymore question before you answer that, you can."

I think for a couple of seconds before I ask him a question "you said that it was too early in the relationship, when would it be not to early then?"

Tai looks at me then sighs "Well, with me and Sora it was a 6 days since we been dating, but we know each other for our entire life. Some might say we got to know each over that time so it wouldn't be too soon. Other would disagree with that and say it we should be dating a while before we have sex. I don't know the answer to that one buddy, I just thought it was too soon. That because I don't want it define our relationship. I guess then until you define your relationship… I don't know for sure…" Tai stop talking I guess that all I'm going to get out him on that question.

"Would you enjoy it if you did have sex for fun?" I ask him because this seem to be the weirdest thing Tai has say to me. I mean I understand that it for reproducing new offspring but for the fun of it seem a bit weird to me.

Tai laugh at me then continue "Oh for sure Agumon, I would enjoy it if I wasn't so worry about other things. I never done it before myself, since I was wait to do it with Sora at some point in my life… but for it be fun you need to be attracted to a person looks or personality, lucky for me Sora has both of those. I think even the greatest in both of those categories. So yes I would have enjoy it if it wasn't for those other reason I told you about before."

I look to Tai and ask "So you have to like both of those to enjoy it them?"

Tai chuckles "Well no, but it has to be for one of those reason. To just to like someone for their looks is really shallow to reason to have sex, but people do it, so they can just have fun. Since it a very different type of fun that can only be have with two people."

I nod to him begin to think. I think I understand what he saying since I like Biyomon personality and her feather are soft. So I understand what Tai said perfectly. "Tai I think I'm ready to answer now." Tai sit up from the ground and looks me in the eyes. "I think what you did was right, from what you told me."

Tai Sighs "Thanks buddy, also you're not just saying to make me feel better because you don't understand what we talking about?" He looks at me worry

"Of course not! I understand it now. That you explain it to me. I agree with you shouldn't betray Sora trust by think of her like that." I hear Tai sigh one of relief this time.

"Let's go get some food buddy before we have to go for our shift today." Said Tai. I agree with him if we're doing a shift today I don't want to hungry during it. We both get up from the ground and start walking towards a river nearby

"Ya let go get us some food. Also one more question how do you find and use this protection?" I might need if it Biyomon agrees to see if it can be pleasurable for us too. Tai falls to ground head first. "Tai are you alright?"

Sora POV

Why am out here in park at this time on a Monday night, I could be out on a date with Matt, but I didn't feel like it. I lend my head back and think about everything. I haven't left my room since Friday night other than to go school today. Today Tai ask if I was okay since I seem really down, I lied to him and said I was okay. He didn't believe me but say talk to me if you're ever ready to talk about what ever bugging you. I thought I sounded convincing, I even believe myself for a second until Tai called me out on it. After that Tai mention to the group he has the most perfect date plan out for tonight. When anyone ask him what it was he wouldn't answer them. Just say it perfect, even Mimi was unable to get anything out him. I didn't even try, at the time I didn't want to know. Now I do, I mean really want to know. I bet she didn't have a perfect time at Noir she was just saying that… but why would she lie about that? I mean I thought I saw her smile when I couldn't go out for a date… I know I saw her smile at that. I don't trust her at all. I sigh and lend back forward from where I'm sitting in the park. That when I see them together, her and Tai. They must be out for their date right now. Should I follow them? I won't want anyone following me on a date… but something is not right about her and there always together…

I get up from my spot and start following them, I know this is wrong but I need to find out more about her. It totally for Tai sake anyways. I stop, is this right? Well who cares for the reason, the girl is trouble I know it. I start to follow them at a distance where I could pick up what they we're saying.

"Tai, I'm really glad you took me to the foreign country Movie Theater tonight, That Korean horror movie was great!" as she says that she hugs him.

He chuckles "Well I was worry about the subtitles, but I'm glad you enjoy it." He puts his arm over her.

"I really like the part…" I couldn't hear them any more since they turn down a different street, I'll have to wait a bit before I head down that street. I sigh I remember when Matt took me there for first time, we also watch a horror movie at the time, I think it a German one though. I round the corner and pick up where I left off trailing them. I notice their still talking about the movie, that last for a few more street until, they turn into a pub. I realize straight away this is the same soccer theme pub that Matt took me to right after he took me to Foreign Country Movie Theater. I quickly head into Pub and find a table where I could watch them without them spotting me. This spying thing is really easy when you don't have Agumon around.

They just chatting away about how cool this pub is… I know it all too well since I was feeling guilty about coming here without Tai, since he was the one who found out about it…. But then why is he following my date to the letter so far? I never told him about this date, I know Matt never told him. Since he always has to find out how my dates go since Matt never said anything other than it was good or something along those lines. I waitress come up to ask me what I'm having. Shit better think of something "Just some fries please?" she nods and walks away. My food come really quick, I just eat some fries and already have the money on the table since I need to be ready to go on moment notice. I sigh while look at them, I mean Tai might of just got super lucky with the movies and here. As long as they don't go for stroll through the park after this everything should be fine. I start to think if there was anyone who I told the detail about this date that I went on with Matt… Nope I never told anyone the details. I didn't want at the time for Tai to find out I went here without him since he ask me if want to go that weekend. I said I couldn't because Matt had a date plan, and I really wanted to go on that date since the last two were bad. Tai sigh and look defeat when I mention that to him. As I was done think about that, I notice they weren't at their table anymore, I look at the door and see there heading out already.

I have to admit she looks like she have a good time tonight, then they start heading into the park. Okay how did Tai found out about this date I went on with Matt, and he knew I had a good time enough to do it with her. Did Tai follow me on a date? I realize they slowed down and I can hear what their saying now.

"Please can we have sex tonight?" she ask him. What the hell.

"No Sora, was last night not enough for, or should I repeat myself." I hear Tai say that to her. I can't take this anymore and run. Not before hearing one last thing that confirms it for me they had sex.

"But you already seen me without my clothes on, so why does that matter?" I hear her say this as I finally get away from her. After some time I turn back to look at them, they are making out in the park, did Tai just grab her ass? Yep. I turn away and head home.

I've never felt more betray in life, so Tai didn't care for me at all, he was lusting after me, plus he been following me around on my dates. I'm not angry right now I'm disappoint with him. I cried because I don't know how to handle this any other way right now.

Tai POV

I'm enjoying tonight the movie and the soccer pub was a good choice to bad it had to be reschedule today instead of Saturday like I plan it instead. Sora look like she having a blast as well.

Sora looks at me with her big puppy dog eyes and then snuggles into me. "Tonight has been perfect Tai, there one more thing I would like to do after this though so…" she stop for a second "Please can we have sex tonight?"

I am angry I don't want to have a relationship based off sex "No Sora, was last night not enough for you, or should I repeat myself? I'm angry but try and stay calm while staying that.

Sora replay "But you already seen me without my clothes on, so why does that matter?" when she says that I shake my head, no I saw you in your underwear if remember correctly.

"Sora listen to me please, can we please try dating for a month without sex. I don't want it to be what this relationship is based off of. If you can last that long I'm promise you I'll rock your world." I lend into as I say that last part.

She sighs "Okay but can we still make out?" I grin at her and just start making out with her. I hope this is enough of answer. I start to loss myself into the kiss. I don't know how long we kiss for but it was for a long while.

"Does that answer your question?" she nods "Oh Sora that right my parent are out of town for the week, so if you want to come over to my place we can continue this there?" She look at me with a wick grin.

"That sounds great, I love to spend time with you all alone for a week…" I nod at her, and we head back to my apartment for a night of making out.

Mimi POV

"Tai! I was really worry last night when you didn't bring Sora home!" i said this angrily at Tai, then Sigh "You could of text me that she was planning on staying out at you place since your parent were out." I don't know what to think about that, I pretty much hear Saturday that Tai doesn't to have sex with Sora anytime soon, but then he ask her if she want to sleep over at his place all week. I hate my thin walls.

"Sorry Mimi we just got to making out and the time escaped us. I don't even know when I went to bed last night." He said that to me then he lends in closer so the rest of the gang can't hear what he says next "Don't worry we didn't do that if your worry. I made sure of it." I look at him then nod, because I know what he talking about. I never want to know about Tai sex life.

"So Izzy and Mimi how come you guys aren't working on your secret project then?" ask Matt. I look at Izzy, we both know that we get the couple together. Now we just watching them to see if we did a good enough job to attempt another couple.

Izzy answer "We finish and now waiting for the result of our work." I look over at him and give him a wink to let him know he did a good job. I see Sora walking over to our table, she sits down beside Matt. She look angry at something.

"Hey Sor, what up?" Tai ask her, she doesn't respond to him, he look around at the table, I guess to check to make sure words are coming out of him mouth. He try again "Hey Sor, what up?" this time with a lot more worry in his voice. Sora doesn't even look at him the whole time. He begins to try one more time.

She finally turn to him and interrupts "I'm done with you, DON'T TALK TO ME, DON'T EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN!" She shouts back at him. She then turn her attention back to Matt like that didn't even happen, everyone is shocked by this. Tai gets up and leaves so quickly I think I see an after image or something.

Matt the most shocked by this, breaks out of the shock first and ask Sora "What was that for, Sora? I thought you guys fixed everything up?" I would also like to know this

She throws him a look like don't push it and says "We did, and then I found out something that makes me hate his guts. I don't even want to be friend anymore, for all I care he could die today and I wouldn't care." My head hit the table, this is not good. Not good at all.

"Well can we find out the reason why you're mad at him?" Matt ask very nicely. Please answer him Sora.

"NO!" was Sora respond. We are so bone right now, if Sora won't talk about something, their one person who you send in to get her to open up. That is Tai…
