Tai stretches. Why does he feel different? Could he have? Yes. Tai got a full night sleep. Its the first time in weeks. He shakes his head to clear the sleep from his brain. This time when the fog begins to slip into the room, Tai is conscious and more than a little surprised.

Hi Tai. You scared me. Don't ever try anything like that again.



You don't have to be sorry.

I miss you.

And I miss you.

Why'd you have leave me?

It was just my time Tai.



Your going to be okay Tai.

Sora don't leave me!

Tai, I'll never leave you my love.

Sora don't leave me again, please!

Who are you talking to Tai?

Tai stammers.

You were talking to her weren't you. his sister states matter of factly.

how did you~

I've seen her Tai.

When! Where!

Kari shifts uncomfortably. She new it was a taboo topic, but he had to know. Hopefully it would help him here, and not decimate him.

like the time you almost died.

about 1 1/2 years later

Hey you can't start a party without me. The young brown haired man grins as he strides into the apartment with the cake. He still walked with a slight limp from the accident, but he had regained the use of his legs with some help from the people he loved. Those he could see, and those he could no longer see, only feel.

Of course not Tai, you have the cake. Matt laughs.

I'm going to smash this in your face, and I don't care if the party is in your honor. Tai smirks.

Mimi whisks the cake out of his hands.

I'm going to put this someplace safe, away from these children.

Laughter echoed throughout the room. Matt and Tai grin at each other.

Congrats on your first top ten book Matt.



What every inspired you to start writing? Ken asks.

he trails off, and looks at Tai. He nods his head, giving Matt permission. Sora visited me one night, and convinced me to start sharing my writing, instead of hiding away.

Matt watches nervously for the younger boys reaction.
A look of relief passes over Ken's blue eyes.

Whew, you know for a while there I thought I was the only one.

What do you mean?

Sora and I've talked before.



After I stopped being the digimon emperor, I had some pretty bad nights. I was tempted to give up at times, but Sora came, and helped me through it.

Other digidestined begin to crowd around Ken and Matt, eager to share their stories, and to bask in the relief that they weren't as crazy as they thought.

Tai steps out from the din of the party and into the cool night air. He allows the cool breeze to caress his face as it gently stroke his hair. Kari silently joins her brother. He looks so peaceful, and happy Kari thinks.

What are you doing Tai?

Loving her.

Kari understood him. She puts her hand in his.
Tai smiles at his younger sister.

Lets go get some cake.

Taking her hand, he leads her back into the party. And through the trees the whispers of love could be faintly heard.
