Chapter 28

Izzy POV

I feel bad for Joe with the way Kari was treating him, Tai is right Joe wouldn't just bail on everyone like that. If he knew what was happening he would be the first one here with all the supplies he thinks we would need. I sigh and go back to reading this file I just decoded. It looks like these files are encrypted unless they are pull from the demon lords computer system directly.

I sigh a breath of relief as I now able to read the first file for today. I hope the seventeen other files I could grab aren't as hard as this first one. Otherwise it will take me days to read all these. I look over to Ken and Yolei. Maybe I should let them have a go at decoding some of these to speed things up. I will have to ask them when they wake up. I yawn, I wish I got more sleep last night but I need to know what these guys are plan as soon as possible, otherwise we might not be all to stop them. By what I read on that file and saw in that video on their computer system, these guys were waiting for something to happen before they launch their plan meaning they must be close now. I look over at Tai he must have been the first step of making sure they went unchallenged when they sent their plan into motion.

I sigh and begin to read the file. It begins as such... Today we found another one of their temples in the digital world, that would bring the count up to three and we just need to find the last one now. Also, it looks like the child of knowledge can track the portals we using to cross over into the digital world. This is going to be a problem if they catch us before we ready to strike. I will have to convince Lilithmon to try and use one of them to break up the team or better yet turn one of them against the other and have him fight for us. A long shoot sure but I saw what can happen when someone is under her spell of lust, all they think about is sex and pleasure and will do anything to get it. Those humans are even worse than Digimon, I agree with Lucemon we don't need them around anymore. Also, Beelzebumon has requested a stronger beer as well, I laugh at him. I find him what he wants, I always find everything I want because it mine to begin with. I just haven't claim it yet that all, I can't wait to rule my own land. Now we just need to find the last one before those kids find out what we are doing.

Well at least the file gives me some information, I now know that we should have at least hopefully three of their target on the heat map. I wonder what importance are these temples for the demon lords. I am thinking that it mostly likely not the temples themselves but what they hold inside of them instead. Well now I think about it if they were waiting to strike meaning they going to be forcing their way into these temples. I try and remember if I been to any temples or even seen them while we were searching the digital world while I was doing my shifts, I come up with a blank. I guess I just ask the other when more people are awake.

I look over at Tai who still in the kitchen eating his egg for breakfast? I think this would be more like lunch or even dinner now for some people judging by the time of day. If they attack Tai I guess he was the weakest link? I lend back and think now, Tai isn't the weakest person on the team, he can get Agumon to go to his mega form so why did they chose him out of everyone. I now look around to the living room and see everyone who still sleep. I mean the team almost fell apart during the fight last night, plus we did fall apart the first time when Tai disappear after finishing off Etamon. I hope we can work together now, since he no longer depressed. From what I can tell Tai isn't depress about what happen, instead it something else. I can't really tell what the matter with him but I figure it out soon enough.

I was just about to get back to work when I notice Matt just woken up and Joe went over to check out his ears. I hope he okay he did something stupid to try and give Sora more time to find the Egg, his hearing isn't something that can be repair. I sigh, it looks like Matt is really sorry for what happen and want to make thing right between him, Tai and Sora. I hope they work everything out they were all really close to one another before Matt and Sora start to date.

"Joe, I said I'm fine now. I can hear everything just fine now. Plus, the ringing has stop." I turn around to see Matt try and wave off Joe but he not having any of that. Joe just open the bag he brought with him and start to look through it until he finds something inside.

"Okay Matt but I want to clean it again to make sure there not going to be an infection and we should probably take you to see a Doctor soon to make sure nothing is damage to badly." As Joe pulls out what he need to clean the Ear and I just turn away to make sure I don't see what happens to Matt, I've already seen TK do that last night and wish I hadn't.

I look over to Sora and Tai who still in the kitchen. I cough to get the attention, since they seem busy talking between themselves. They both look at me and then I ask them "When you guys were sent out on patrol in the digital world did you see any temples when you were there? I just read the first file I just decode that I've been working on all day since I woke up at about nine this morning. The file mention they were look for Temples and they found three of them so far, out of four temples that they're looking for. Other than that, it mentions that I was able to track them and they want to do something to break us up in order to, I believe make it so we not be able to fight them at full power." They both look at me. I sigh I guess I did too much of an information dump on them. Well I got to ask them at some point, and the soon we find these temples the better we can defend them from the Demon lords, since it a no brainer that we shouldn't let them get what they want from the temples without a fight.

Tai was the first one to answer me and he says "No, I don't think so Izzy to be honest I wasn't really look out for one and unless it was super weird temple I don't think I would have made a mental note of it. I seen enough of the digital world to stop questioning why some stuff is place where it is." he shrugs and I then sigh of defeat well at least there is ten other people who might have seen something.

Sora is still thinking then shakes her head after a few minutes and says "I can't say that I did Izzy unless they were hidden from plain sight... I guess I won't be much help with this." I look back at my computer screen and she might be right, these temples might be hidden from plain sight. I wonder if I could use my laptop to find them?

I look at Sora and say "No your right actually they might be hidden from plain sight to protected them from being attack now that you mention that. I still going to ask the other since we need to know where they are so we can protect them from the demon lords. We can't just let them have whatever they want now... I think they just plan on ruling the digital world by the sound of what I read so far, but we don't need them getting any more powerful if they could use what they find in the temple to help take over the digital world."

Tai and Sora nod at me and it looks like Sora has an idea and says "OH Yokomon you promise to talk to me when we get back, so let's go talk in Tai room for some privacy." Yokomon does not look like she wants to talk to Sora but nods in agreement anyways. Sora then look at Tai and ask him "Do you mind that we use your room for a bit Tai?" I guess Sora didn't have an idea for what to do about these temples then.

Tai laughs and say, "Sure thing Sora, I can understand needing privacy and it is sort of crowed in the living room." Sora just nods at him and picks up Yokomon and heads into Tai room. Botamon is jumping up and down now. Tai picks him up and says, "And what do you want now little mister?" Botamon sprays bubbles at Tai and then I think he is laughing now, it hard to tell with Botamon to be honest.

As Tai start to play with Botamon in the kitchen I go back at decoding another file in hopes of learning something new about the demon lords plans.

Davis POV

Why does everyone have to be so loud in the morning and just let me sleep in for once. I roll over in my bed and then fall to floor, I slow open my eye and see that I wasn't in my room but in Kari apartment oh right now I remember. I look over to the love seat I was sleeping on see that Chibomon was still fast asleep good I don't need to wake him, he need along rest after that fight with Leviamon. Thinking back on the fight I don't think we can beat him unless we also have WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon helping us in the battle. OH, wait we also now have what her name called when she reaches her Mega form now... Hououmon that it. I can't believe Sora was able to get to Mega level yesterday that is so cool.

I get up off the floor and see Joe here finally here and he is cleaning Matt ear, while Izzy is on his Laptop on the counter top. I see Tai in the kitchen playing with Botamon and I don't see anyone else is up yet. I heading to kitchen now that I realize that I am hungry. As I enter the kitchen I ask Tai "Is there anything to eat?"

Tai stops playing with Botamon and looks at me while he says "Well I think there some pizza from last night left if you want some of that? Otherwise the stuff in the fridge is my mom health food stuff, you could always eat some of that again." I see Tai grinning at me. I don't know what to make of that other then I not going anywhere near his mother food again while I live. Well cold pizza is pretty good so it not like I'm losing out here.

I open the fridge and says to Tai "I'll take the Cold Pizza after what happen yesterday, I am not going anywhere near your mother cooking..." I grab two slices of Pizza from the fridge and start to eat it when I hear Izzy laughing at me. I shoot him a look which I don't think he could see but as soon as I did he stop laughing. Maybe he does notice what happening around him while he on his computer.

As I'm thinking that my thoughts wonder off to Kari and how she been acting lately. I mean she seen to be her usually self until I saw her last night after Tai got attack by Lilithmon. I guess what she overheard Lilithmon say to Tai must have shook her to her bones. I look over to Tai and just sigh that makes sense with how Tai was acting last night. It couldn't have been a good time for him either. I just wonder what made Kari want to not trust us... or me, I want to be there for her and show her she can count on me when she need to.

I hear Kari door open and I see she heading to the kitchen she doesn't say anything to anyone as she enters and Tai looks like he doesn't know what to do about her. She grabs some Pizza and start to walk back to her room. I stop her before she can exit the kitchen. I say to her "Err, Kari can we talk outside? That is if you want to... because I was... errr" Smooth Davis really smooth there. I hope she agree I want to prove to her she can count on me, and doesn't have to go anyone else with her problems.

Kari looks shock that I asking to talk to her outside, she looks like she is debating on where or not to talk to me she sighs and puts down the slices of Pizza she got out of the fridge and says, "Yes Davis we can talk if you want to ..." I couldn't be happier right now. I know I can't mess this up with her no matter what.

We both head outside and as soon we are outside the apartment I ask her "Kari, what did Lilithmon say in order to turn you into this." I gesture with my hand at Kari body then say "I never seen you blow up at someone like that before yesterday... I'm worry..."

Kari looks completely lost when I say this to her and looks like she is heading back inside when I block the door I want a answer so I can help her get her smile again. Kari looks at me and sighs "I can't trust someone with so much darkness in their heart, plus what she said about Matt and Joe were true... So that means what she said about everyone else can be true as well. I don't want Tai or me to get hurt because of that..." I gulp when I hear this. I don't know what to say to her right now.

I try talking to her "I errr, think that a bad way of thinking..." Kari making no reaction to what I'm saying crap I'm not good at this, Kari looks like she wants to head back inside. I can't let this end so badly. As she about to go past me I say "Kari, I'll be here for you I promise... if you want someone to talk to or anything... you could come to me... I don't know how to help you... but you can always talk to me and I listen to you no matter what you say and let you finish..."

Kari looks at me and moves past me and says, "Thanks Davis and I already know that." she then walks inside. I don't think that went very well, the only good thing is Kari know I be there for her when she needs me. I stand outside for a while longer and thinking how much good that does me, I don't think I help Kari at all. I'm pretty unless at this sort of stuff, I want to help with this and I did nothing to change her mood for the better.

Tai POV

I still playing with Botamon when I hear the front door open, I guess Kari and Davis talk didn't last long then. I should try and talk to Kari, I am really worry for her. I here Sora loudly say, "He what!?" I gulp when I hear that. I stop playing with Botamon and bring him to my chest. He snuggles up to and falls asleep again. I look at my door and then it opens. To reveal Sora and she looks around the living room to see if she woke anyone up with that outburst. After she see she didn't wake anyone up, she walks over to me and grabs my arm and say, "Your now a part of this conversion." I nod at her as we walk into my room this can't be anything good.

As soon as we walk into my room Sora shut the door quietly and looks at me, before she gently grabs Botamon out of my arms and places him on the bed beside Yokomon. Yokomon is blushing a lot and doesn't want to be in here by the look of things. Yokomon awkwardly says "Hey Tai..." what did I just walk into?

Sora look over at Yokomon then back at me and says, "So Tai what have you been talking to Agumon about recently before you were attack yesterday?" she crosses her arms and gives me a stern look. I begin to think about what we talk about last on Sunday. There was lot things we talk about with Yolei while we were with her on the digital shift with her. I don't know what she wants to know about and how does this relate to Yokomon.

It then clicks for me we talk about sex before we meet up with Yolei. I shoot a look at Botamon who now asleep on the bed. I sigh in defeat he wasn't meant to talk to anyone about that. "Well me and Agumon had a private conversation on Sunday... I guess you know what it was about?"

Sora sighs and then says me as she uncrosses her arms and sit down at my desk chair "Well I didn't know you guys talk about this on Sunday." she looks over to Yokomon and she just goes beet red and turns away from Sora. Sora then turns back to me and says, "Well apparently Agumon went to Biyomon and talk about sex..." Her checks go red as she was saying that and I just fall over and land on my back. Damn it Agumon you were not meant to talk about any of that.

Yokomon see my reaction and she speaks "Don't worry Tai I didn't know what you and Agumon talk about per say. He was just telling me, about some of the things he learnt that all..." Yokomon tries and sound cheerful but that quickly fails and turns into awkwardness instead.

I look over to Botamon and sighed in defeat. I say to Botamon "You were not meant to repeat any of that buddy..." I look over to Sora and she doesn't look happy about this but at the same time she doesn't look piss off at me either. As the initial shock is over I now get comfortable on the ground for the rest of the conversation.

Sora then looks at me and then over to Yokomon before she say, "I going to tell Tai what been happening between you and Agumon, is that alright?" Yokomon just nods at Sora. Sora then turns to me and says, "Well because of someone, Agumon found out that sex could be had for pleasure and as a way to show love for someone." I gulp that was definitely me alright, I told him it had to right person and can't be just someone random through. Sora looks at me and then nervously says "So apparently Agumon went over to Biyomon that night and ask her if she like him... after understanding what Agumon meant by that she said yes..." She sighs and then says to me "At least you have a good view on sex, Tai or this could be a lot worse than it is."

I speak up "Hey the only reason I went to Agumon on Sunday was because I need to talk to someone with what happen the other night with I guess Lilithmon..." that sends a shiver down my spine, I really glad I didn't have sex with her now. "It was either Agumon or Mimi since she already had an idea what was happening. I didn't feel comfortable going into that much detail with her... I had to talk to someone, at the time I didn't know if I was making the right call or not that night..."

I look over to Sora and she looks relive at what I am saying. She quiet for a few more seconds before she speaks up after I was done explaining why I went to Agumon. "Well I agree with you that it was too soon in a relationship or it might be just based off sex... I also glad you didn't go to Mimi as well to be honest. I understand wanting to keep what happens in the bedroom to yourself and not tell your friends..." she shoots a dirty look over to Yokomon. What was that for? Well Yokomon nods at her anyways like she understanding what Sora is talking about.

Yokomon then speaks up and says, "I promise not to tell a soul not even Agumon." she looks deadly afraid of Sora right now. I also gulp in fear right now.

Sora then see my reaction and says "It something Lilithmon say to us during our fight, she has all of my memory and I guess the rest of team as well... You might find out what we're talking about at some point." She gives me a loving smile, right now I don't know if I should be afraid or not.

I just nod at her and say, "Okay then Sora whenever you want to tell me then, I promise I won't push for details." I hold up my hands. I know I going to stick by those words, she looks like she could kill Yokomon if she told anyone what they're talking about.

Sora sighs and says "Thanks Tai, I know you won't do that. That doesn't still solve the problem here, well after Biyomon and Agumon confess their feeling, he starts to talk about sex and how it could be fun as before he just thought it was something really painful because of how the egg were made." It then clicks in my head is that why he was what was protection and how to find it. I didn't enjoy that talk with him, I sigh I guess I should have been more careful and read the signs. "So, they found out about a fruit which would basically stop an egg from being form... That fruit is in the fridge right now Tai..."

Wait a minute does that mean what I think it does. "Damn it Botamon I though you understand what I was talking about! You even agree with me that it was too soon..." I hang my head in shame, they were dating for a total of what two days before they want to try it...

Sora giggles now and I look up and see that woke up Botamon and he is starting to shake in fear... I guess he been awake for a while now by the look of things. "Well it looks like Botamon wasn't asleep after all, or he just woke up..." As Sora says this she gets up from the chair and walks over to Botamon and pick him up. She puts him into her lap and then sits down on the bed. "I want to know why you were talking about sex with Agumon and how our digimon almost had sex because they were curious... At least they both seen to understand you're not meant to have it with some random person." She looks over at me when she finished, she starts to pet Botamon in her lap.

I sigh well it not as bad as I thought this was going to be when I first came into the room, I though Sora was going to rip my head off. "I guess I wasn't being careful enough with Agumon... I didn't even think for a second he would want to... you know..." Sora look at me and nods. I really didn't think Agumon would be that curious about it. I just want someone to talk to it about.

Sora sighs and then says "Well this turn out a lot better than I thought it would, to be honest... I know your view on this matter but I wasn't sure how Agumon learn about this stuff..." She pets Botamon then pick him up and looks up him in the eyes and say "You better treat her right, or else! I don't even know if you will remember this because I don't really know how Baby digimon work but we are so talking about this again between the four of us about everything when you digivolves into Koromon." Botamon is shaking now again, I think he get the message if you ask me.

"Sora, don't be so mean to him..." Yokomon puff up her chest and is trying to stick up for Botamon. I smile at this at least they are acting like their together like a couple. Sora looks stunned by what Yokomon is saying to her. She then just nods her head at Yokomon puts Botamon back into her lap and starts to pet him.

I speak my mind to Yokomon and say "I still think you guys were rushing into thing Yokomon, for human standard anyways... I mean I understand you both know each other for a long time but do you even know what a relationship is about other than to have sex with someone?" I ask her this because if they're going be together it better not just be because they want to try sex.

Yokomon blushes at my comment and then nods at me and says, "Yes Tai, Sora told me a lot about relationship, she just never mentions anything about sex... when she was talking about difference between..." Sora then cover her hand over Yokomon mouth before she could continue.

Sora laughs at nothing and then says, "He doesn't need to know that Yokomon!" I tilt my head at Sora and she goes beet red. I want to know but I won't pressure Sora into tell me... plus I might not want to hear this. Sora look at my reaction and says, "It nothing bad, per say I was just confused at the time and need someone to talk to last Christmas sometime after we dealt with Malomyistmon, I forgot the exact date that all." I look at her and I think I know what Yokomon was talking about, this would be around her second date with Matt...

Yokomon speaks up and say "Well I know what is needed in a good relationship anyways and what is a bad one is as well. We went through many different types of relationship and why some can work and other shouldn't be tried" I look at her, well I know Sora was having trouble with dating Matt at the time so that makes sense that she went and talk to Yokomon about this. Sora look angry at Yokomon for some reason.

Sora seen to done with this conversation now and says, "That is enough of that, we don't need to go into more detail before Botamon can even talk without spraying bubbles everywhere." She picks him and start to play with by swaying him back and forth and saying, "Though it is really cute." Botamon is enjoying this as now he giggling and spraying bubbles everywhere. I get off the floor and walk over to Sora and join her on the bed. I join in playing with Botamon, and by the look of things Yokomon also want to some attention as well.
