A/N: I've got to say that I am very sorry for leaving you guys hanging for so long. I started the chapter, but then kind of got stuck, but thanks to my terrorizing trio buddy, Kai (Courage Sun) I've finished it and it's ready to be posted. I've used her ideas she's given me and twisted them to my liking. MUHAHAHAHA!
Davis: (rolls eyes) Here she goes again, trying to pull of the whole evil thing.
Who said you could be in my author's note?!?! Oh, I'm going to—oh wait, I get to torture you in this chapter! WOO!
Davis: (starts trembling) What are you going to do to me?
MUHAHAHAHA! Okay enough evil laughter. Onto the chapter.
Oh, and one more thing. I never got a reply from the review contest winner, Crazy With Happiness. So if you're reading this chapter, if you send me your action and saying, it'll be in the next chapter. Okay?
Now let's get on with it.
HEAD GAMES
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Sora woke up in the morning feeling much better than before. Her shoulder was still in great pain, but she was relieved that Tai was all right and felt refreshed from a good night's sleep. She had sent everyone text messages warning them about Ken. She couldn't possess all of them otherwise she would be able to morph into any of them at any time. They couldn't give her any more power. They couldn't let her be victorious.
She climbed out of bed and dialed Kari's cell phone number. "Hello?" The young girl's voice came from the other line.
"Hi Kari, do you want to go to the hospital to pick up Tai with me?"
"Sure. It'll be about an hour. I have to shower and stuff. I kind of just got up."
Sora looked at her digital clock. 11:45 a.m. She laughed. "Me too. So don't worry. I'll come by your place in an hour then."
"Okay, oh and Sora?"
"Yeah?"
"I know for a fact that things between you, Tai, and Matt will work out."
"Yeah, if we're still alive." Sora laughed weakly. Kari couldn't tell if she was trying to be bitter, or funny. It just came out. "See you soon."
Sora hung up and ate a quick breakfast. She showered and got dressed. On her way out she grabbed her cell phone and digivice along with her D-Terminal. You never knew when you'd need it.
Kari was just gathering her things when Sora arrived at her door. "Bye Mom!" She shouted, as she shut the door behind her.
"What did you tell your parents about Tai?" Sora asked, curiously.
"They think he's at Izzy's," Kari replied. "I really hate lying to them, but I don't want them to freak out."
"Yeah. I get what you mean." Sora agreed as they headed out into the summer heart. It was over ninety degrees.
Kari was already sweating in her tank top and shorts. "It's like a desert out here." She stated to no one in particular, trying to fan herself with her hand.
"Yeah…." Sora said. She wasn't making much of an effort to talk.
"Sora..?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay?" Kari questioned, looking concerned. Sora guessed that she had noticed her lack of contributing to the conversation.
"I really don't know," She replied. "I'm just confused…"
"About…?"
"Everything!"
"Oh, well you know you can always talk to me."
"Thanks Kari." Sora told her. "It's just that I'm worried. What if we can't beat Spiritmon? I mean, she's confused us once already, almost causing Tai his life. What if she does the same thing again?"
Kari looked tense for a minute, and Sora immediately regretted bringing it up. "We'll make sure that the person is possessed, so we don't make that same mistake again," Kari said. "It'll be okay, Sora. We'll make it through. We always do."
"Right." Sora agreed. "We've just got to believe that we can do it."
"Exactly. So don't doubt yourself for one minute." Kari smiled at the older girl. "Now let's get Tai. We need to meet all together as a team and come up with a plan."
Sora nodded as they picked up the pace towards the hospital.

"This is taking too long. I want to crush those Digi-Destined soon, but it's taking me too long to possess each one of them." 'Ken' mumbled to himself. "I need to speed the process up, but how? I've possessed a genius, so I should be able to come up with something…." Then something clicked, and Spiritmon knew exactly what she was going to do, but it was definitely different than what she planned. She needed the leaders for this. The goggle heads held a power to do something extraordinary to help her, even if they didn't know it.
Davis kicked the soccer ball so hard that it knocked over the goal when it soared in. He needed to let off some steam, and this was the best way to do it. "Mind if I join you?" Came a voice. Davis whirled around to see Ken leaning on a bench a few feet away.
Davis grabbed his soccer ball and slowly backed away from him. "I've got to go Ken." He muttered fearfully.
"Not so fast. I just want to talk."
"Uh, no." Davis said, running in the direction of his apartment.
"Force it is then." Ken said with a shrug. "BLACK INFERNO!"
The black fire missed Davis by about a foot, and he turned around and smiled. "You have bad aim." He began laughing, but then realized this was a bad time to joke around with Ken because he wasn't the real Ken. Spiritmon possessed him.
Ken seemed to have super speed as he charged at Davis. "Whoa, someone's been training!" He just couldn't be serious for some reason. Davis grunted as he was pinned to the ground. All he could do was chuckle endlessly. It was like he was on laughing gas.
"If you ever want to live to crack a joke again, you'll come with me."
His laughter faded. "What do you want?"
Spiritmon ignored him. "Do you have your digivice?"
"Why?"
Spiritmon repeated herself. "Do you have your digivice?" She said more firmly.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't." Davis grinned.
"This isn't getting you anywhere. Do you want me to kill you?"
"I thought you needed me for something, so why would you kill me?"
Ken sighed angrily and picked Davis up by the collar of his shirt. "Enough of your babbling. I'm just going to take you by force, and you're going to shut up."
Davis smirked. "Hey, have you and Yolei hooked up yet?" He asked randomly. Ken only glared at him. "Oh, I get it. You haven't come out of the closet yet, huh? I didn't know you were gay."
"Smart-ass goggle head will not get to me. I just hope the other one isn't this bad. Who elected him leader?" Spiritmon mumbled under her breath.

Kari and Sora walked into the hospital and went up to the desk in the waiting room. "We're here to pick up my brother, Tai Kamiya." Kari said.
The nurse glanced down at her records. "Room 212. Oh, wait. Two friends of his already came by."
Sora and Kari exchanged glances and looked back at the nurse. "What'd they look like?" Sora asked, urgency in her voice.
"Uhm, I really don't remember. I'm sorry." The nurse said, tapping her pen on her chin.
They both ran down the hallway to Tai's room. They had a strong feeling that something was not right.
"Hey! No running! This is a hospital, not a zoo!" A doctor shouted after them, but Kari and Sora were too concerned with getting to Tai's room to care about rules. It was like the hallway went on forever.
They eventually arrived at the doorway. They found exactly what they didn't want to. Tai was gone. The window was left open and a piece of paper blew around the room from the breeze that blew in the window and the ceiling fan combined.
Kari walked into the room numbly and caught the piece of paper in mid-air. "What is it?" Sora questioned, feeling her heartbeat speed up.
Kari looked scared. Fear filled her eyes. "A note." She nearly chocked on the words. Sora walked as calmly as she could over to the young brunette's side and looked at the paper in her hands.
I need a favor from the goggle heads. They'll be back…if they cooperate.
That was all it said. It wasn't signed, but they knew who it was from without even thinking about it. "A favor?! What kind of a favor?!" Sora screamed at the note as if it would give her an answer. She broke down crying into the hospital bed where Tai once slept.
Kari was silent as tears rolled down her cheeks. "What do we do?" She asked, letting her hands drop to her sides and the note to fall out of her hands.
Sora looked up, red faced and puffy eyed. "We can't do anything. That's just it."

A/N: WOO. Another chapter finished. What can Tai and Davis do to help Spiritmon? Will they do it, or refuse? What will happen if they decline?
You'll just have to wait for the next chapter.
Reviews are extremely helpful. I'm open for suggestions, ideas, and constructive criticism. Oh, and there will probably be more Takari, and Taiora will be on it's way. Don't worry. I might add some other couplings like Daiyako or Kenyako. Let me know what you think.
The review button's down there.
