Me: Due to receiving a flame from a Sorato fan, (I knew I'd receive one of those some day!) I've decided to redouble my efforts! And, episode 50 hasn't come out, true, but the ending can always be changed! So, HA! And I hate the way my mom changed the stupid font on this computer! How did she do this anyway?
Izzy: It's quite simple, really-
Me: Izzy? I didn't ask for a detailed explanation. Just read the disclaimer!
Izzy: Sorry. (reads) Our distinguished writer doesn't own Digimon. Nor does he own "Crawling" by Linkin Park. That's the name of an American band?
Me: Yes! You don't see me asking, 'That's the name of a Japanese band,' do you?!
Izzy: (sweat drops) No. May I suggest something? Try Decaf.
Me: I don't drink coffee, either! I knew I should've tried at Davis' house. At least he tries to have fun!
Izzy: Are we talking about the same Davis who threatened to use your head for a soccer ball if you didn't change the ending of your story?
Me: (sighs) Yeah. That's the one.

Chap. III-The wounds from within
Chorus: Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real…
Taichi "Tai" Kamiya shuddered with excruciating pain. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Only the DigiDestined knew the truth about Tai's pain. Sora hadn't been visiting him for three days. The only time she'd seen him was on the day that he'd suggested that they go on a break.
"Why won't Sora come visit Tai?" Gatomon asked.
"I'm not sure. Tai didn't say anything about her not being able to visit him. Maybe she hates hospitals as much as Tai does." Kari replied.
"Either that, or she's out on the town with the town geek." Matt muttered. Mimi whacked him in the stomach.
"Be considerate, Matt! She's supposed to be your friend. You're lucky she isn't here to give you a black eye right now!" Mimi said harshly.
"The longer she's gone, the worse it'll be on Tai." Joe declared. "Pain from within lasts a long time. I should know."
"So that means someone should go find her." Izzy said. Matt turned and eyed Davis.
"Me? No way!" Davis was against it from the start.
"It's a perfect opportunity to see if you still have feelings for her or not. So, go and find her. If those feelings are still there, act on them." Matt advised.
"Forget it! The last time I did that, Tai ended up here and in pain. Sora's-I don't know where right now!"
"All the more reason for you to go find her. Guys, Davis will go!" Matt yelled out. Davis groaned. Yet it wasn't as heartwrenching as Tai's was.
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming; confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling; I can't seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure
Davis knew Sora inside and out-basically, because Tai had spilled his guts out to him and confided in him-once upon a time. Whenever anyone of them were upset, or lost on a certain situation, they'd go out to the park and sit in a special tree which was marked T.K. + S.T. 4ever. That and a heart enclosed around it. Davis looked around the park for over an hour before deciding to use his other senses. One of which was hearing. He heard some faint crying from the north side of the park. He ran in that direction and found Sora, literally out on a limb!
"Sora! Come down from there. You'll get hurt and then you'll be joining Tai in the hospital. I don't want to have to visit two friends!" yelled Davis worriedly.
"How'd you find me? Tai and I are the only ones who know where this tree is!"
Davis gulped. He didn't want to get Tai in trouble with Sora; then he'd get in trouble when Tai got out! "Uh, I heard you crying, so I listened carefully and looked up and saw you! Why haven't you visited Tai in the hospital?"
Sora looked down at Davis with a tear-stained face. "You don't understand! I can't see him like this! He looked hurt. I want him to be strong again!"
"Sora, you not being there is pretty much the reason why he's in so much pain! He'll only come around when you get your lazy butt off that tree branch, climb down safely and come with me to the hospital." Davis explained.
Sora shook with sadness. She didn't want to be the source of Tai's pain any longer. She'd put it off long enough. "O-okay. I'll go! And if you say I have a lazy butt again, I'll have to hurt you!"
Chorus: Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real…
Tai groaned and shook painfully as Kari tried to keep him calm. "Don't worry, Tai. Everything will be all right."
"No, it won't…need Sora…She'll stop the pain…" Kari nearly broke into tears! Where were Sora and Davis?! She looked in the mirror next to Tai's bed and shook with pain as she saw her brother in it. He looked almost like a human skeleton!
"Davis, Sora…where are you guys?"
Those two were running as fast as possible to the hospital! Sora stopped Davis long enough to ask, "Do you still have feelings for me?"
"I…I don't know. Even though it's been three days, I really haven't thought about it. AHHH! I can't take this! Tai's in the hospital 'cause of a mistake I did! I should've never kissed you! If Tai dies…" Sora grabbed Davis by his shoulder.
"Come on! You can cry in front of Tai when we get to the hospital."
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting; reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure…
WHAM! Davis and Sora burst through the doors of the Odaiba Medical Hospital, raced to the elevator, got in, pressed 3 and went up to Tai's room. Once the door opened, they raced out of it and past their friends into Tai's room.
"Tai? I'm here!" Sora gasped out.
Tai looked up through reddened eyes. "Sora!" Tai sighed in relief as he tried to pull his arms up to hug her, but being in pain and not eating much in the last three days really took it out of him. Sora smiled and hugged him. Davis held back his tears as he tried to leave. Kari didn't let him.
"Davis? We need to talk."
"Oh, no…"
Chorus: Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
(There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming…)
Confusing what is real
(This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling…)
Confusing what is real!
Uh-oh! Does Kari find out about Davis' feelings about Sora? Find out in Chap. IV-You hurt the one you love!
