Hello! This is the last part, I hope! Major Taiora, and Aiko's gonna learn about her past. Oh, a little Mimato in the end.
Aiko….
The school day was over and Aiko was heading to the soccer field. She saw that Tai wasn't on the field yet, and was a little disappointed. Aiko stop it right now! Tai is not the one! But what if he really is? Aiko shook her head and saw a girl standing on the sidelines. She looked kinda like Tai, she must be his sister. Aiko, walked up to the girl and said, "Hi my names Aiko what's yours?"
The girl blinked and smiled at her, "My name's Kari!" Kari, the name sounded so familiar. A memory of a girl with a handkerchief around her neck, and she was really kind. Then it was gone, and Aiko said, "I was wondering if you could tell me about the girl who used to be on the soccer team?" Kari's eyes saddened a little, and Aiko started to worry but then she started to talk.
"Her name was Sora Takenouchi. She was a close friend of my brother and all the rest of my friends. She had short hair, and amber eyes. She loved to play soccer, and she was the first girl to make it on the boys soccer team. She is- would be the same age as my brother is now, but she died in a plane crash a year ago. She had gone to America to visit my friend Mimi, but when they came back, the plane crashed into the ocean, and we've never seen her since then."
Aiko was shocked at the rush of memories roaring through her mind. She first saw a girl with a blue helmet that looked like her! Then she had a small Biyomon by her side, (Biyomon?), Then a picture of her playing soccer with a boy, then of her surrounded by seven others- the digidestined! Memories continued to rush through her mind, and Aiko started to clutch her head, they were invading her mind. She started to feel like her mind was going to explode! She screamed out in pain, and then it stopped all she remembered was sinking into a soft blackness.
Kari….
Kari watched in horror as Aiko clutched her head. After she had finished telling her about Sora she had started to act really strange. It seemed as if her mind was exploding. Looking around Kari saw that all the boys soccer team, including Tai, had raced over. Aiko looked up and Kari saw a pleading in her eyes. Then Aiko screamed in pain, but the scream had sounded as if she were saying stop! Kari screamed, "Tai! She's fainted!" Tai quickly caught Aiko and started to give us orders, "Coach I'm gonna take her home, so my sister can take care of her. I'm not sure who her guardian is, so I think it'd be better if I took her to my house." And with that we were off.
Tai…
I grimly set Aiko down on my bed and told Kari to take care of her. I stayed in the living room, deep in thought. Why did I have to help this girl? Why did she remind me so much of Sora? Why am I ATTRACTED TO HER!!! I sat and stared at my hands. Reaching into my pocket I took out Sora's bracelet and left it on the table, then I headed back to soccer practice.
Aiko…
Aiko opened her eyes and stared around the room. Where am I? She was lying on the bottom bunk of a bunk bed, but it seemed so familiar. She quietly got up and walked over to the desk that was in the room. There were pictures, pictures of a Tai with his arms around a girl, her! The girl in the picture was her! She must be in Tai's room, and he must be the boy from her picture!! Excited Aiko walked out of the room, there was a girl, Kari! She was sleeping quietly on the sofa. Tiptoeing over Aiko found a bracelet on the table. The bracelet looked so familiar! Picking it up, she tried it on. It fit! Then a memory of getting the bracelet for her birthday sprang into her mind. Surprised she forgot she had the bracelet on, and walked back into Tai's room. There she sat down to study the pictures in his desk. There was one picture that seemed familiar to her. It was a picture of eight kids, including her! They were standing in a park, and they were all so familiar! Then the names shot through her mind, Joe, Izzy, T.K., Matt, Tai, Kari, Mimi, and-and, argh! She couldn't remember her name!
Then she found a strange device, actually two! She picked up one and she felt a jolt of memory rush through her, of a boy-Tai! He was battling many strange creatures-digimon! He was holding the device in his hand- a digivice, and he had a symbol and a necklace- the crest of courage! She picked up the other digivice excited about her findings. This time she saw a small girl-Kari! She was talking to a small digimon- Gatomon! She also had a necklace- the crest of light! The two digivices shot out beams of light and they surrounded her, she saw a bright orange and pink light envelope her, and soon they were joined by 5 other lights. She started to feel memories rushing through her! A separate world- the digiworld! Evil digimon, Myotismon, Piedmon! Good digimon, Leomon, Pixiemon! Elated Aiko continued to feel the memories rush faster and faster, quicker and quicker. Aiko was soon filled with a whirlwind of memories! Then to Aiko's horror, the lights shuddered and she felt herself thrown against a wall, and yet again she felt herself sinking into darkness for the second time that day, clutching the two digivices.
Tai….
"Tai! Look!" Tai whirled around, and looked at the sky! There were 7 beams of light, they were joined over a building, his apartment! The digivices! Tai gasped and started to run toward his house. He had a strange feeling of impending danger, and he knew that Aiko was at the bottom of it! As he ran toward his house he met Matt, Mimi, Izzy, Joe, and T.K., they were all racing toward his house! Their digivices were shooting the beams that were meeting at the top of his house! Then as they neared his house, they shuddered and the beams fragmented knocking the digidestined back. They stumbled back up and continued on their way, Tai started to shout, "Izzy! Get out your computer! Figure out what the heck is going o0n!" "On it Tai!"
Finally they reached his house, and raced in. Kari was lying on the floor unconscious! "The blast must of knocked her back into the wall! T.K., Matt, Joe, see if she's all right. Izzy, Mimi you follow me!" Tai raced into his room, followed by Izzy and Mimi. There they stopped in horror. Aiko lay unconscious against Tai's wall, all his photos and mementos of Sora, lay scattered around. Two digivices were clutched in her hand, and Sora's blue helmet lay on Aiko's head! Then Izzy gasped, and started to talk, "Tai! Aiko! Her memories! The digivices know her! They somehow know who she really is! Unfortunately, the 7 digivices weren't enough! They need the last digivice. Sora's! Aiko needs Sora's digivice!" "But why does Aiko need Sora's?" "It means that Aiko must be the next in line! She'll inherit the crest of Love!" "No! That means Sora's dead! No! She isn't dead!" "Tai! Learn to accept that Sora is dead! She is dead! Tai, she's never coming back!" Tai stumbled in shock as he finally accepted that Sora was dead, he fell to his knees whispering, "Sora, I'm so sorry!"
Aiko….
Aiko groaned and sat up. Her hands let go of two strange devices. She looked up and saw that there were three other people in the room. Aiko gasped and started to shrink away from them, "Who- Who are you? What do you want? Where am I?"
Tai….
Tai, Izzy, and Mimi stared at Aiko, "Don't you remember, I'm Izzy!" "Izzy? I do not know who you are. Get away!" Aiko started to swat at Izzy, but Izzy was already looking at his computer, "Tai, we have a problem. Aiko's memories are blocked by a black wall; almost like a black gear. Aiko can't get past the black wall, unless she has the key. But the wall is cracking, and if she doesn't find the key before the barrier breaks, the rush will destroy her." Tai looked at Izzy and said, "How long?" "Two hours. I can give her back her memories, but only for the last year, that's it. That'll give us a couple more minutes, but that's it. Tai we have to save her!" Izzy quickly connected a wire from Aiko to his computer, and pressed a few buttons. Aiko started to glow then she got up. "What happened?"
Tai was torn. He hated her, for taking over Sora's spot, but he still wanted to help her. "Tai, the girl in the picture, the girl! Who is she?" Tai looked at Aiko, and started to shake his head, Aiko must have seen Tai shake his head, because she started to speak, "Tai, I may never replace her in your heart, and I don't want too, but if you just gave me a chance, I might be able to be your friend. Who is Sora Takenouchi? Why does she seem so familiar too me?" Tai just stared and said, "Mimi, Izzy go get Sora's digivice and crest from the place we hid it in." Nodding they raced out of the room, and Tai turned to Aiko. "Aiko, I can't tell you anything, but when they get back your questions will all be answered." Then he turned and walked away. Aiko called after him, "Tai? Is this what she would have wanted? Why can't you let anyone know how you are feeling?"
Aiko….
I watched as he walked away from me. I stared at him, and then I reached into my pocket. I took out the picture of me staring at it I realized that I was wearing the same helmet as the one in the picture! I quickly took a mirror out of my pocket and saw how much I had changed. Reaching up I fingered my hair, the long braid that had grown over the year. Reaching up I undid my braid, satisfied, I reached up and popped out my color contacts, leaving my original amber color. No more disguises! I looked at myself and let out a laugh, finally I could drop the disguise, then Tai walked in.
He wouldn't look at me, instead he just threw another device into my lap, along with a crest. Then he walked out of the room. I watched him leave, but then Izzy walked in. He was staring at his computer so I ignored him and picked up the device and crest. Then my world exploded. The digivice shot out a beam of light and it combined with seven others. I was caught in the center. Memories were coming, but they were to fast! They were coming too fast! My vision blurred, my hair stood on end, I fell to my knees. I saw that Izzy, and all the other kids had run into the room. They were all staring at me, looking at me. I reached out to them, barely being able to croak out, "Make it stop! Please make it stop!"
Tai….
Kari had woken up and we were all lounging around, when our digivices shot out beams of light toward my bedroom. We all raced into my room where Izzy was staring at Aiko. She was trapped in the center of all the lights, including Sora's crest light. She saw us and croaked, "Make it stop! Please make it stop!" Izzy was frantically working on his computer, then he shouted, "Tai! We have to stop it! It's killing her! The crest and digivice weren't the key!" "How much time is left?" "Half an hour! Tai if we don't find the key she'll die!" "I know! I know!" Then Mimi shrieked.
"Sora! Sora!" They all looked at Mimi. "Where! Where is she!" "Sora! Sora get out of there!" "Mimi where is she?" But Mimi had lost it, she seemed to go straight back to the time of the plane crash. "No! Sora, get out of there! Sora! Why did I send you after my hat?" "Tai ten minutes!"
Aiko started to tremble, she was screaming, "NO! Stop! I must find him, he holds the key to my past! I can't! I must find him!" "Tai! She needs to find someone! A person is the key!" "A person? There are billions of people in this world how am I suppose to find a person in less then 10 minutes?!" The world started to speed up. "Tai five minutes!" "I must find him!" "Sora!" The digivices started to vibrate. "Three minutes!" "Sora get out!" "Stop! The Key!" The ground started to shake. "Two minutes!" "Sora, why did you listen to me? If only you hadn't gone after my hat, then you wouldn't have had amnesia!" Then Tai realized who the key really was, "Aiko, Sora, whichever name you want to be called, I love you!"
Then the room was silent. There was nothing left of Sora, except two green contacts. Contacts? Whirling around Tai started to shake Mimi, "Where is she? Where is she?" "Tai let go of my girlfriend!" "She's gone!" "Tai, Sora's gone." "What!" "My computer can trace anybody I want it too, I just have too have their name, and Aiko's gone. Meaning Sora must be gone too!" Mimi screeched, Kari started to sob and Matt held Mimi in his arms, while T.K. held Kari. Joe just stood there clueless and said, "Didn't Sora die a year ago?" Izzy was still too absorbed in his computer. Then Izzy scared a year off everyone's life by yelling, "Tai!" Everyone whirled to look at Izzy's computer screen and they stared at the magazine picture that was blown up on the computer screen. It was a picture of Aiko! Same long amber brown hair, but she had blue eyes! Underneath the picture it said, "Interview with the teen singer heartthrob Aiko!"
"Aiko! That's why her name sounded familiar, I have her c.d.!" "That's right! The c.d. I got you for our 1 year anniversary!" "Yeah that was so sweet of you Matt." "Nothings too good for you!" Matt and Mimi start into a cuddly love fest, while all the others are turning green. Finally Izzy broke the silence. "Tai, we should all leave. If we saved Sora we'll know tomorrow, there's nothing we can do now." Nodding everybody left, and Tai fell into a fitful sleep.
The next morning…
Tai sat listening to the morning announcements on the loudspeaker. So far no one had seen Sora, leaning back Tai nearly fell out of his seat, when a loud cheer went up in the classroom. Struggling back up Tai said, "What happened?" One of the girls stopped screaming long enough to tell Tai, "Period 6 and 7 is cancelled instead we're going to the auditorium for a surprise! And they guaranteed that it wouldn't be a lecture, assembly or play!" Tai finally struggled up, but then the bell rang, and then he got trampled again. It was going to be a long day!
10 minutes before sixth period…
Sora sat in a dressing room, behind the school auditorium. She finally knew who she was! She didn't have to wonder who she was anymore! Looking once more into the mirror she looked at herself and was satisfied to see that in her eyes she held a glint of the old Sora! She hadn't changed! Sora quickly busied herself, getting ready for her show. Then she heard a stange hand call, "Your on in 5 minutes!" Sora quickly put the last touch on her costume, and left.
Sixth period…
Tai sat in the first row in the auditorium. He sat in between all the other digidestined, but these seats were good, because they were far enough from the stage, so that you didn't crane your neck, but close enough so you got the best view. Tai whispered to Matt, who was sitting beside him, "Any signs of Sora?" "Nope!" Tai sighed, there was still time. Then the auditorium went pitch black, and they heard the sound of their principal over the loudspeaker, "Welcome to the show, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!" Then the stage exploded in lights, and a girl appeared in the middle of them, with her backs too them. Then some music came on and the crowd started to scream. The song was "I think I'm in Love." The girl in the middle of the stage started singing and dancing and then Tai saw who it was. "It's Aiko!" The digidestined all nodded, and watched in awe as Aiko performed. At the end of the song, she said, "Wazzzuuupppp!!! Are you ready to have some fun? As you all probably know, I'm Aiko. You've seen me around campus, and you all probably know that I had amnesia. Not anymore!" There were sounds of disbelief, and Aiko just smiled, "You probably don't believe me, so I'm gonna prove it. Here is something I've said a dozen times around campus, "I wish Tai's brain was as big as his hair!" The crowd started to cheer, and someone shouted, "Welcome back Sora!"
Sora….
It was the end of my concert and now it was the big song Sora had been building towards in my entire show. Turning to the crowd, she placed a second cordless microphone in the middle of the stage. Glancing at the digidestined she gave them a wink, then Sora started to speak to the crowd. "Okay, here is the last song of the concert. I need a boy to sing it, but not just any boy. The boy must be the one in my heart, my true love. There is also a little something here in my palm that will make sure that the boy will not sing bad." Taking her hand Sora blew the sparkly gold dust from her hand and watched as it covered everyone in the crowd. "There is one small catch. I have never sung this song before, no one has ever heard it except for the boy, and only he will know the words."
Sora left the stage and when she came back on again she was dressed in a long white dress. Her hair was flowing down her back, and she had on a gold bracelet. She smiled when everyone gasped, she hadn't worn her contacts, and now her eyes were the same amber brown eyes that showed the real her. She walked to the middle of the stage, and she knew that behind her the curtain was made to look like a moonless starry night, and that mist was enveloping her feet. Taking a deep breath, Sora started to sing.
If I could break the spell,
I'd run to him today,
(Sora smiled when she saw Tai slowly get up and walk to the stage.)
And somehow I know he's on his way to me,
Taichi you and I were meant to be.
Now everyone was looking at Tai, and staring at him.
Far longer then forever,
I'll hold you in my heart,
It's almost like you're here with me,
Although we're far apart…
Tai….
Tai knew it was him. He was her true love; he knew this song. He had sung it not long ago, when he was feeling sad. Then the words had just come to him from nowhere but Tai now knew that it had come from both their hearts.
Far longer then forever,
As constant as a star,
I close my eyes,
And I am where you are.
Sora….
Sora held out her hand to him, and smiled at him. He was doing so good!
Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise,
Weave an unshakeable bond….
Tai….
Tai took her outstretched hand in his and smiled back, she looked so beautiful!
Destined to last for a lifetime,
And beyond.
Tai…
Far longer then forever,
Sora…
Far longer then forever,
Tai…
Tai looked into Sora's eyes, and saw the beautiful amber eyes, shining in happiness.
I swear that I'll be true
Sora…
Sora looked at Tai, and felt so happy! It had been a long time since she had looked into those warm brown eyes.
I swear that I'll be true.
Tai and Sora…
I've made an everlasting vow,
To find a way to you,
Far longer then forever,
Like no love ever known.
Sora…
They drew closer, and she was trapped in the warmth of his eyes.
And with your love,
Tai and Sora…
I'll never be alone.
Sora…
Far longer then forever,
Tai…
Much stronger then forever…
Tai let his microphone drop gently onto the floor, and made a silent vow while looking in her eyes, that he would love her forever.
Sora…
And with your love,
I'll never be alone.
Sora gently dropped her microphone onto the floor and their foreheads touched, and Tai whispered, "I told you not too leave." Sora grinned and whispered, "We'll never be separated, because we have each others love." In the same breath the both said, "I love you." And then they kissed in a sweet kiss full of the purest kind of love. Everlasting love.
Mimi….
"She didn't need me after all!" Matt turned around, "For what?" "Nothing." They watched as the audience started to cheer as Tai and Sora kissed, oblivious to there surroundings. Then their digivices shot out beams of light enveloping the whole room in light, and everyone laughed and cheered. The light dazzled everyone, and soon they all started to slow dance to the music that was playing softly in the background. Izzy danced with another girl who had blond hair, while Joe danced with a girl who had black. Kari and T.K. danced and Mimi of course danced with Matt. Mimi sighed as she danced, happy to be in a safe, warm place for the first time since the plane crash, and she looked at Matt, as he said, "Mimi, you're the best." Mimi smiled and said, "No, I'm the bomb!" "What?" "I'll explain."
I'm done!!! Finally!!!! The song is from Swan princess, and I think I'm in Love is from Jessica Simpson. I tried! Don't kill me with flames!
