Part 4:

Sora walked into the Digi-Force headquarters with her arms full of books. It had been two months since Digi-Force was started, and they were doing great. They had found lots of kids and brought them here and taught them how to use their Digimon. All was going well. "Hey, Sora!" Mimi said, walking in. "What have you got there?"

She slammed the books on the table. "Man, these things are heavy!"

"Math, English, Science," Mimi said, reading off the titles of the books, "What are these?"

"Well," Sora said,"My psychiatrist told me that I've adjusted well enough to being an adult! It wasn't easy though! I mean, I fell asleep a 10-year-old girl, and woke up a 20-year-old woman!"

"I can only imagine how that must have felt!" Mimi said.

"Anyway, since I've adjusted, I thought it was time to finish my education! So I've hired a tutor!"

"That's great!" Mimi said.

"Yeah! I'm hoping to get a degree in psychiatry! It might help me understand the motives of certain individuals around here!"

Mimi frowned. "You mean Tai?"

Sora nodded. "Yes, ever since we formed Digi-Force, he's treated me like some kind of outcast! Why? Is it because he fell in love with my clone, that's it! To him, I'm just a pale reflection!"

"It's not you Sora!" Mimi said. "It-ah, its..."

Just then Tai appeared. "Sora, " he asked,"Can I have a word with you in private?"

As Mimi was leaving, Tai thought back to the conversation he had with Izzy a few minuets ago.

Izzy had noticed how distant Tai was acting lately. "Tai," he told him straight out," Keeping your marriage a secret from Sora, its tearing you up inside! Have you tried to call Miya?"

"There's no answer!" Tai said,"I think she's changed the numbers! Part of me wants to find her.. explain why I had to come, make her forgive me, but part of me wants Sora! I think I'm going insane!"

"You have to tell her!" Izzy said,"Then maybe you'll find out who you really love!"

"Hello, Earth to Tai!" Sora said, waving her hand in from off his face.

"Huh?" he said, coming back to reality.

"You wanted to talk?" she said, cheerfully. Tai hadn't said two words to her in the past two months, but now he wanted to talk."What is it?"

Tai hesitated for a moment. "I-I-I have to tell you something very important!"

"Okay!"

Tai took a deep breath. "Sora,...."

"You're not pregnant, are you?" she laughed. Then she saw that he wasn't. "What?" she asked, concerned.

"Sora, I'm married!" he said quickly, "And I have a son!"

Sora stood motionless for a moment. "Do you love her?" she asked.

"I....I...I don't know! I think I do, but I love you too!"

Sora nodded. "You have to go see your wife! Go talk to her! Maybe you'll discover what's in your heart!"

Tai looked her straight in the eye. "Do you hate me?"

"Of course not! I understand that I was gone and you had to move on! Go!"

Tai smiled and turned to leave. "Tai?" Sora asked,"Will you come back?"

Tai thought for a moment."I don't know!"

Miya woke from her bead. She looked to her side. She began to cry, Tai still hadn't come back. "Tai!" she cried," Why haven't you come home?" She heard the doorbell ring. "Tai!" she cried, delusional, "You've come back!"

She hopped out of bed and opened the door with a smile on her face. Then she screamed.

"Hello, Mrs. Kamiya!" the Gazimon said, running into the house.

"D-Don't come any closer!" she said as she back away," I'm warning you, my husband's a Digidestined!"

"Former, Digidestined!" one of the Gazimon said.

"W-What do you want?"

"Your child!" he sneered.

"No!" Miya screamed.

"Yes! Our boss, UltraDatamon wants that kid!"

"You can't have him!" she said.

"But we will!" they said, hopping over to her. "Its the child, or you!"

Miya panted, she knew she couldn't stop them. She had no choice, "Take him!"

"I knew you'd see it our way!" the said.

One of them grabbed the lamp and slammed it on her head. The last thing she heard before she passed out was their laughter.

She slowly opened her eyes. She found that she was in the hospital, laying in a white bed. She saw someone sleeping in the chair next to the bed. "Tai?" she asked, hardly containing her joy.

He woke with a start. "Miya!"

"Oh Tai!" she cried,"You came back to me!"

"Miya," he said, hugging her," Where's Sashi?"

"T-They took him!" she said.

"Who?" Tai yelled.

"They came for him! Digimon! They said they worked for UltraDatamon!"

"What? I'll kill them!"

"Tai, wait!" Miya said,"I saw you on television for Digi-Force. I know this is a crazy question, but was that Sora?"

"Yes," Tai said, flatly.

"Do you still love me?" Miya asked.

Tai swallowed.. "Miya, on the way up here, I did some soul searching! I-I'm sorry, but, I want a divorce!"

"What?" Miya asked as her heart broke.

"It was falling apart long before I left! Excuse me, I'm going to look for my son!"

"Fine!" Miya screamed, her eyes full of tears,"When you find him, you can have him! Custody's all yours! Get out, Tai! GET OUT!"

After he and Agumon left, she cried until she couldn't cry anymore. Then something happened. The t.v. turned on by itself. Miya saw a red skinned person with goat's legs, two sets of horns on it head, and a long red cape.

"What kind of show is this?" Miya asked.

"I am no show!" the creature said,"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Lord Demonmon! And I offer you a choice, a deal!"

"What kind of deal?" "I can give you power! Power to destroy Sora! Then Tai will be all yours again!"

"What's the price?"

"No price! All you have to do is acknowledge me! My masters wishes to invade your world, and he has placed me in charge of conquering this world! But to open a portal from this section of the Digiworld to Earth, I need a beacon, to lock on too! What do you say?"

Miya could feel her hate tread for Sora growing. "Yes!" she said,"I'll do it!"

"Excellent!" Lord Demonmon said,"When this world becomes my own, you shall rule at my side as my queen, now and forever, you are Lady Demonmon!"
