True Love

Chapter 4

"Mysterious Secrets"

Tai didn't knock, he just entered Sora's apartment. It was dark but he could see her silhouette pacing in the living room. When she heard Tai enter she ran to him, threw her arms around him. Her body was shaking, sobbing.

"Sora, what happened? Are you hurt?" Tai asked sympathetically.

"Th.. The box. Something ha..happened with.. the… the box." Sora sobbed into Tai's shoulder. All her defenses were down. She didn't care if Tai saw her as the scared little girl that she was. She felt so horrible for losing such a precious item; an item Tai gave her to prove he loved her.

"Tai, can I talk to you for a moment," Jeni asked, taking Tai's arm and pulling him aside.

"Yeah, sure," Tai said, letting Jeni lead him away from the rest of the group.

"Can I trust you to keep something for me?" Jeni reached into his long robe and pulled about the little blue box. He handed it to Tai.

"A box," Tai said, studying the box inquisitively. "You want me to watch a box?"

"Not just an ordinary box," Jeni corrected. "It's a dimensional warp between your world and the digital world. It can be used more than once, but the effects will only last a few hours. But make sure, whatever you do, don't let it fall into the wrong hands. There will be terrible consequences."

"Don't worry," Tai said coolly. "I won't let you down." He left the tiny digimon and boarded the train with the rest of his friends.

"Go luck."

"What happened to it?" Tai asked, releasing Sora from his embrace. Sora looked at the floor, her face growing red. She couldn't look Tai in the eyes. She couldn't bear to see the pain, the disappointment.

"T.K. and Matt were invited to dinner at my house tonight. I showed them the box, I even let T.K. open it. I didn't know what would happen. I didn't know what it would release. I'm so sorry!" Sora fell to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

"What happened?" Tai asked, his voice hushed but anxious.

Sora sniffled.

"He accidentally opened the portal and released," her voice trailed off. She was looking out her living room window, into the city, her eyes frozen in terror. Tai followed her gaze. His jaw dropped.

"Oh no," he whimpered.
