Me: I don't own Digimon

Me: I don't own Digimon! (sees Tai and Sora kissing) Uh…what are you guys doing?

Tai: (pulls away; blushes) Nothing!

Me: Right.

Sora: What? You don't believe us?

Me: I believe you. It's Tai I don't trust.

Tai: Ha ha ha. Very funny.

Me: I wasn't trying to be funny.

To Save The One You Love

A Taiora Drama

Part II-Threats and Accusations

"We got him here, but he's losing a lot of blood!"

"Excuse me miss, but you can't be out here."

"I'm his best friend and hopefully his girlfriend when he gets out of here! I have a right to be here!"

"And so do I!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm his sister and I've got just as much right to be here as she does."

"Then step back and let us do our job."

"What's wrong?"

"His heart just stopped beating!"

"WHAT?! NOOOOOOO!"

"Stay out here!"

"LET ME IN! I'VE GOT TO SEE HIM! TAIIIIIIIIIII!"

I'm surprised I'm able to tell you this story because technically, I should be dead right now, but I'm not. Let's see, I think I left off at the part when I threatened Matt…

Anyway, I healed from Matt's little ambush within a day for one simple reason: Sora had been hovering over me like a mother would for her son. I just wished she were doing it like a girl would for her boyfriend, but knew that wasn't happening anytime soon. Meanwhile, as for Matt and his little gambling bet…

Blond Boy of Friendship: WHAT?! What do you mean they won?

Millennium Man: That's what I said. They won over the Sacramento Kings 119-113. (A/N: That's the actual score and teams who played; I saw the game! GO, LAKERS!)

Blond Boy of Friendship: So…when do I pay you?

Millennium Man: Within two days, or I'll come and find you, wherever you are. You can't run and you can't hide.

(Millennium Man has left chat room)

"Oh man! What am I gonna do? If Sora finds out about this, she'll be furious with me. Unless I got the money from someone else…"

Sora had insisted on the fact that the two of us hang out together for a while until she was confident that no one would ambush me again, so we played soccer until lunch, went out to a movie and I bought her some ice cream. I was forgetting the fact that she was dating Matt and almost leaned forward for a kiss, until she started coughing. I instantly stopped and started hitting her on the back for a while.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I think something just went down the wrong pipe. What do you say we head home?" I reluctantly nodded. I hadn't wanted the day to end, but it was almost night and I wanted to get Sora home before Blond Boy figured out that I'd gone out with her again and did another number on my face.

Once I got her home, I gave her another peck on the cheek, but let my lips linger a bit longer than normal and she blushed a deep crimson.

"G-good n-night, T-Tai." Sora stammered dreamily as she almost collided with the door on her way in. I smiled and maintained my composure.

"Good night, Sora." I replied calmly, unaware that Matt had witnessed the whole thing and was planning revenge.

Morning arrived too soon for me as the sun hit me across the face. I stumbled up in a frenzy before I remembered that it was Saturday morning and I didn't have to worry about school. I smiled as I reached for my wallet to observe the $100 dollar bill my Dad had gotten me from America…and gasped in shock as I realized that my wallet was empty! The only time I'd had that wallet off of me was after I'd gotten home! Then how had someone gotten inside my wallet? Unless someone stole it while I was asleep…

"I'VE BEEN ROBBED!!!!!"

Kari, Mom and Dad came in with worry stretched across their faces.

"What happened, Tai?"

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

"Tai, what's going on?"

"That $100 bill you got me from America Dad, someone stole it off me last night, and don't even think about blaming Sora! It wasn't her who did it. It had to be someone who knew about it." My mind racked thoughts about all the people who'd I'd told about the bill. Sora, Izzy, Davis, T.K., Matt…

Blond Boy of Friendship: There. The money's being wired to you as we speak.

Millennium Man: Good. I guess that means I have to cancel my trip to Odaiba. You've done well.

Blond Boy of Friendship: Thanks. I want to make another bet: $1,000 on the Sixers for the game against the Bulls.

Millennium Man: You sure? Word on the street is Michael Jordan returned to the team.

Blond Boy of Friendship: Don't worry about it. That's just a rumor. I'm serious. I came through before, didn't I?

Millennium Man: True. Okay. $1,000 on the Sixers. Pleasure doing business with you.

(Millennium Man has left chat room)

Matt sighed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the money he'd stolen from me, he'd been able to pay off his bookie from the States. The question was, if the Sixers lost this game, where could he get the money from this time?

As for me, I was forced to casually ask my friends if they'd found a $100 bill lying around. I knew it wasn't right to ask Sora because she would get mad at me and the last thing I wanted was her mad at me. Izzy would have no logical motive for stealing money because he was too wrapped up on the computer. T.K. was busy being around Kari, Davis around Yolei and as for Matt…he was the most likely candidate. He'd been acting strange for the past few days. I wasn't the only one who'd noticed. Sora had noticed too. She was getting tired of Matt not asking her out to places. Not to say it was my fault; Sora had a great time being with me and according to her mother, whenever Sora's around me, she doesn't have to worry. She knows her only daughter's safe with me. For some reason, Sora came over to our house to watch the Bulls game with my Dad and me. Because of Michael Jordan's return to the team, they won 103-99. Little did we know that trouble would be knocking on our door pretty soon. As I headed over to Matt's house a whole day later, I contemplated my reason for going.

"Hmm…I could tell him I came just to hang out but he wouldn't believe me. How about this-we could double date: him with Sora, me with Mimi, since she was visiting and hanging out with Yolei and Davis at the time. Problem with that is I'd have to hunt Davis, Yolei and Mimi down around town, and I don't have time for that." Unfortunately, I didn't get to run into Matt, but I did run into Sora, and she didn't look too happy. In fact, she looked on the verge of tears. I gasped as I took a closer look at her. She had a bruise on her cheek and a bloodied lip. I ran forward and pulled her into a hug.

"OH, TAI!" Sora instantly started sobbing on my jacket and the money took a back seat to Sora's pain. I waited a while for her to let the tears flow and picked her up and carefully walked all the way toward her house.

When we got there, Ms. Takenouchi was shocked-just as much as I was! I walked Sora over to her couch and sat her down, then took a seat right next to her, never releasing my hold on her.

"What happened, Sora?"

Sora finally stopped crying and just sniffled on my jacket.

"Matt…h-he hit me because I broke up with him!"
My eyes narrowed with definite anger. Now I was mad! I had specifically warned Matt what would happen to him if he'd done anything to harm Sora in anyway, shape or form.

"That's it! I'm gonna find Matt and teach him a lesson!" I got up and prepared myself to head toward the door. Despite the fact that Sora was hurt, she was able to grab me by the shoulder.

"Tai, no! I couldn't stand it if he did anything to hurt you."

"I feel the exact same way, Sora. That's why I'm doing this-because he hurt you. Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it." I gave her a quick peck on the lips and left, so I failed to see the rapidly increasing blush on her cheeks. Unfortunately, I failed to see the black limousine pulling up to the Takenouchi driveway as well.

On my way toward Matt's house, I ran into Kari, Davis, Yolei and T.K. I was excited to see them, but I told them about what happened to Sora, and they joined me as we got there. I knocked on the door repeatedly until Matt answered it.

He didn't get a chance to answer me. I hit him square in the mouth and he doubled back. I hit him again in the stomach.

"That was for the previous night! This was for my $100 bucks!" I kicked Matt right where it counted and he fell to his knees in pain.

"That…was for Sora!" I growled angrily as Matt slumped over and nearly lost consciousness. A moment later, the door came flying off the hinges and some guys in black suits grabbed Davis, Yolei, Kari and T.K.! Matt and I tried to help them, but two more guys in black suits pulled out some guns and pointed them right at us!

"Don't...move! If you want to live."

Wow! Things look too hot for Tai and company now. What will happen? Find out in the exciting conclusion!
