Ok, everybody. I wanted to sincerely say arigatou for all of the support you've given me. Every one of you has truly been an inspiration, and I'm so sorry to be letting you down like this. It's a truly terrible ending, but I couldn't do any better than this. I never meant to drag it on and make it seem like it was some big secret, but it really wasn't, just a little something to show that Tai wasn't completely perfect, and also my view on the last name situation....... But read on if you'd like, and I'm warning you, please don't be too let down and please don't flame me. Ashiteru everbody!!!!!!

Sora waited silently as Tai caught up to her, her arms wrapped around her body, trying to spread some warmth in the cold chill she felt, though not from the rather damp air. I wonder what he has to tell me, she thought. Deciding it wasn't anything important, she let Tai walk to her side and felt him softly slide his hand into one of hers. She didn't mind it one bit, though a bit forward, and she wanted to treasure that moment for as long as she could, before things unraveled, as she felt they would soon.....
Tai breathed deeply after starting the long walk to her apartment complex, thriving in the moment that Sora let him hold her hand, feeling its softness squeeze gently, passionately, desperately....
"Sora," Tai barely let out in a breath, sure she didn't hear him, for all he wanted was to just say her name, in all its beauty and meaning. The sound of it reminded him of silver bells clinging on a day when the sky was bright, blue, and clear. Sora......
Sora waited for Tai to continue, and when he didn't, she abruptly stopped her pace and turned to face him in the twilight, visioning him in the glorious splendor of the darkening night. The deepening blue suited him so perfectly. Maybe that's why the deep, twilight shade of blue had always been her favorite color. Because of Tai, because it always looked so well on him, like it was made especially for his existance. Sora's dreamy gaze was not lost on Tai, and he attacked Sora with a fiery kiss that set both their hearts aflame.
Tai felt Sora's rosy lips hesitant at first, then respond needily, as if she'd been waiting three years for this. Her mouth slightly parted as Tai hungrily filled himself with her, his male body wanting this for so long, craving it from this girl who was his best friend, this girl only, who would no longer only be his best friend, but a soul mate for forever and a day. At that moment, Tai even felt that forever wasn't long enough.
Sora made herself break away as she felt Tai pressing against her, wakening every part of her, giving it a new desire. She couldn't believe Tai had done this to her, and she thrived in its feeling, but she was still scared of the outcome of all of this. She was scared, plain and simple, of Tai himself. He had such a haunting expression of aching passion on his face, and she finally realized just what Tai could be capable of. But instead he stepped back like a gentleman, turned his back, and staring up at Sora's door on the third floor of the apartments in front of him. Sora couldn't help but feeling a bit surprised at his sudden solemness, his strong arms crossing in front of his chest and his breath coming in fast gasps.
"It all started I guess after Kari was born. I can't remember all that well, I was only three, you know," Tai started, his body still turned away from Sora, his head gazing over his shoulder looking back at her and her reaction to what he'd tell her. Sora waited patiently. "My mom and dad all of a sudden packed up everything and rushed us out of the house we were living in, moving us to Highton View Terrace. They even changed a couple personal things about ourselves. I'm not exactly sure what it was that happened, but I remember them thinking that-- it was an attack directed towards us when the digimon were fighting outside of the digiworld. Remember how some people thought it was a bombing? Well, my mom and dad panicked and moved us to Odaiba, in which we knew absolutely no one.
"I can barely remember anything, and I can honestly tell you I don't see the big deal of changing our last names," Sora widened her eyes, "but that's what they did. Guess they didn't want someone to know who we really were. Only my father's mother still keeps in touch with us, because she seems to at least understand what went on, why BOTH my parents had the same last name even before they were married..."
Sora couldn't understand what she was hearing, that Tai's parents were related before they got married? She kept rapt attention and stood closely behind Tai, offering her support, though she was just grasping onto the fact that his family had committed some horrible sin of incest....
"But, Tai," she whispered, resting her arms gently onto his shoulders, setting her head onto his firm back, "family members falling in love isn't too unheard of. It's been done before, maybe not close family members, like brother and sister, but..."
"You're right, Sora. My parents are second cousins to each other. Wouldn't be that terrible, you'd think. Me and Kari didn't come out deformed, did we? But apparently, not according to my mother's side of the family, who were all very protective of one another. They had gotten in a fight with my dad's side when they figured out what was going on between the two..." Tai almost lost control there, his voice breaking at the horrid thought of incest. Sora had heard enough, though. Enough to know that Tai just didn't know anymore, that he only accepted the fact that his parents were together and always thought of them as, not cousins at all, but as normal parents like he should have thought of them... like normal parents like they should have been...
Sora encircled Tai from behind the waste, offering all the support she had to give, sighing in contentment when she felt Tai relax against her. They were alike now... body and soul. Just one more.... question, one she couldn't refrain from asking....
"Taichi Kamiya. What's your real name?"
"Y- Yagami, Taichi."
"Taichi Yagami..."
"Yeah...."
Sora smiled on his shirt as he turned around to face her, still holding the embrace. She loved the sound of it, the way it flowed so smoothly out of her mouth. "Yagami..."
Tai smiled as well, smug at the new secret he and his best friend like no other now shared. "It- it means Eight Gods." Sora looked up into his sweet face, adoring every moment spent with him, and not worrying about having to fight with her concious any longer. Not that she didn't enjoy fighting it, but it was nice to know the winnings were so much greater than the struggle.....

Arigatou, minna-san, for reading my story, and if it turns out that the ending didn't suck so badly, and I get enough reviews requesting it, I might as well go ahead with the epilogue I had planned out, which would end up leading straight into my song fic Come With Me, which I posted a while back. Well, anyway, please don't be too hard on me, k? Gonna go sing now...... "All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. I'm standing here outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye......"
