Disclaimer: Ok, we all know I don't own Digimon already, so that leaves me to say that I don't own Savage Garden's song, Crash and Burn, or Savage Garden themselves (Oh man I wish I did! Especially Darren Hayes... ^.^ ' )

Tai felt his heart breaking into pieces as he watched Sora going out of control, slamming the soccer ball with her foot over and over. He couldn't help but admire her accuracy, he had to admit. Though she was crying uncontrollably, she managed to kick the ball to a light pole so it bounced right back to her, kicking it again, then again, then again...


(When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
to tame your wild, wild heart...)


Sora felt as if her chest was on fire, bursting with pain from within. Each time her ball came back to her, she brutally knocked it back to light pole, feeling satisfaction every time she heard the sound her foot made connecting with the ball, then the sound of the ball hitting the pole. Sora knew she was sobbing, but she somehow ignored it, concentrating only on letting out all of her anxiety she'd been holding in. Desperate sounds tore from her throat as well, sounds almost not human...


(I know you feel like
the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief
and people can be so cold...)


Tai wanted to run to Sora, clutching the sobbing, broken girl in his arms, making everything better again. But he forced himself to approach slowly. He didn't want to startle her, and he didn't want to be the object of all the hate she needed to get out and release into the night. He had known all too often what it felt like to just go insane and lash out irrationally, and he knew Sora needed a little time to get those feelings out.


(When darkness is upon your door
and you feel like you can't take anymore...)


But just then, Tai stepped on some fallen branches, causing Sora to turn her head just as she swung her foot at the ball. Since she wasn't looking, her shoe skidded over the top of it and she slipped, crashing onto the ground heavily. Tai shot forward to help her get up, but she jerked away from him and resumed her task...


(Let me be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night...)


"Sora, please turn around and talk to me..." Tai pleaded. Sora didn't answer, just steadied the ball in one spot and swung her leg with all her might, hammering it so that it missed the pole and disappeared in the dark. "Sora, tell me what's wrong, please..."

Sora sighed in exasperation, muttering slightly, "Damn." Tai grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to him so that her back fitted against his chest. Sora gratefully leaned into him, sobbing more.


(If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone)


A woman had followed her daughter out into the night, and she now watched the touching scene take place in front of her own eyes, her own daughter. "I guess he really does love her," she muttered softly to herself. "How can he show his love for her more than her own mother? This is breaking my heart, Sora..."


(When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head...)



Tai felt Sora relaxing as he held her, still panting a little, and lean into him, turning around slightly. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, whispering his love for her and loyalty to her in her ear, telling her he'll always be there for her, no matter what problems they had to face. Sora sobbed some more and buried herself in Tai's shirt, desperately wanting to believe him...


(When hopes and dreams are far away
And you feel like you can't face the day...)


"I'll always be there, Sora, and we can face your mom together. She'll understand, once she knows how stubborn I am and how much I never want to leave your side..."


(Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night...)


Tai lifted Sora up and swung her around while she was still in his arms, causing her to actually laugh a little through her cries. When he stopped, she looked into his face and saw his anguish for her, his own tears for her...


(If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
you're not alone...)


A noise was heard by the trees, and they both turned to see Naoki Takenouchi holding Sora's soccer ball. She had gone to retrieve it for her. Tai noticed a small, accepting smile on her face, a face of compassion...


(Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when its over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again...)


Sora noticed the look of accepting love on her mother's face as she gazed back at her and Tai, mostly at her.


(When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart...)


Sora smiled back and gripped Tai tightly, closing her eyes as fresh tears spilled down her soft cheeks.


(Let me be the one you call...)


Tai was there for her, just like she knew he'd be...


(If you jump I'll break your fall...)


Well, he tried to break Sora's fall as she slipped, but she hadn't exactly jumped...


(Lift you up and fly away with you into the night...)


Hadn't he just done that?


(If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone...)



The woman walked back to her apartment she shared with her daughter, holding on to her daughter's soccer ball as if it were her prized possession instead of Sora's. She smiled with reassureance, knowing Sora would not end up like her.

Sora smiled happily, content in being with Tai, his arms entwined around her as though he'd never let go. He was there for her, and her mother knew it, she knew it, Tai knew it.

Tai breathed in Sora's glorious, rain-scented hair, not wanting to let go...


(Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone...)
