Beg Forgiveness
"Hello? May I speak to Izzy please?" Izzy's mom giggled a bit and replied back softly.
"Izzy is in his room doing algebra, and by the way, whom may I ask is this?" Izzy's mom listened and nodded her head as she covered the mouthpiece with a cupped hand. She knocked on Izzy's door whom was right beside the phone's. "IZZY!!!!! PHONE!!!!!"
Izzy stumbled out of his room holding a blue pen in his hand. Using his other free hand he held onto the door side and pretended to die and collapse in front of his mom.
"Very funny mister, now someone wants to talk to you." Izzy sat up and sighed as he took the phone.
"Hello?" He heard a breathe of relief and worried feelings on the otherside of the phone.
"Hello Izzy? Do you know where Tai is?"
"No, I'm sorry... why?" Izzy stood up and dusted himself as he heard sniffling on the other side of the phone. Izzy leaned againest the wall, hand in pocket, one foot againest the wall, listening on the phone. His eyes darted around the room.
"Well, nope, I don't have a clue. I'm sorry I couldn't help Mrs. Kamiya.... yes, oh, by the way, did you see Tai bring home a disk with a green logo of Weezer on it? That's my cd and I was wondering wether Tai was done with it or not...... OKAY OKAY! If I see Tai I'll tell you, but what about my Weezer cd?.... okay, I'll wait, Tai loves Weezer anyways.... Okay, goodbye. I have to get back on some algebra questions.... Thanks. Bye." Izzy hung up the phone and went into his room confused. Tai missing? Not like a scruffy haired boy can disappear THAT easily.
"And so? The world goes ROUND and ROUND, I've heard. Maybe you find another person to love with Tai. It's only a girl!" Tai sighed. The sun scorched them, and they took shelter under a tree. It's been three days since Tai had gone missing. The world had grown so huge, so big around him, Tai didn't talk alot. ALl he could think of was Sora's reactions... those horrific answers. How could she have done it? Only couple years back, they were in deep red love shades! HOW? What happened? That big fight? Tai begged for forgiveness, he constantly did, what had gone wrong? WHY? This annoyed him. That was the topic of the last three days. He felt too embarassed to go home. Also the fact that Sora knew where he lived, would phone him up, talk about "love" gunk, Tai didn't need it. He just needed time to spend alone.... sort of.
"Yeah Agu, but you see.... Argh... you mons never get what I mean... especially you. You don't even work in my house when my parents are gone to help me clean up. What do you do?" Tai said, distracted off his rather "all three day marathon" topic.
"Sit around, drink, eat, sleep, eat, watch moving pictures on a screen, oh, and did I mention eat? Oh, well, if I didn't, eat." Tai laughed and then sank back into depression of realtionships. Agumon sighed.
"Is there ANY way to cheer you up?"
"A news update. The big hit of today is the boy who's been missing for 3 days. He was at the movie theatres nd then was kidnapped and taken away. Recent updates prove he must have been at a mall or school or park to drink water. As water you can't live without for 3 days... duh. Some STUPID people do not know the simplest facts... HEY! DON'T TAKE ME OUT!@($^(^!)^)! I was beiong sarcastic! Geez... well, anyways, that is our update... by your favorite news reporter on Fox Family! HEY! LOU! SHUT UP ALREADY! I DID NOT TAKE YOUR HAIR GEL!.... Oh, we're still on air? Eh-heh... eh-heh.. psss! Turn it to the sports!" Mrs. Kamiya cried again and grasped onto her husbands shirt. Tai's dad only changed the channel as the goof of a reporter was dragged out by security guards. Kari and Gatomon (another cat excuse) sat on the floor, drinking a milkshake and eating ice cream at the same time too.
The fact troubled her mind that her brother had just gone missing. She knew Sora and Tai went out the day to the movie theatre to watch a movie. When Tai left, he wasn't all excited, but that was him nowadays. AND.. Agumon left an all day a thon! HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE THAT? Kari sighed as she took another spoon of her choclate ice cream. She sure did miss Tai around. Her big brother would always crush some ice cream into his hair (choclate kind) and walk past his parents to see if they noticed a different substance in his hair other than oil.
Gatomon purred and licked a little bit of Kari's ice cream. Tai's dad patted his wife on the shoulder and sighed, he changed it to the music station. Mrs. Kamiya cried louder.
"Shh, let's not worry.. how about we go ask the police to help us search for him? Okay? I mean, he should be home by now, so what do you think?" Mrs. Kamiya nodded as Tai's dad helped her off the couch to the phone. Gatomon made sure they weren't looking before she danced to another Weezer song.
"Gatomon,... yum... um, sorry, but do you think Tai is really missing? Obviously the news reporters made it interesting by saying he was kidnapped. But of course, Tai would slice and dice before their very eyes... or maybe Tai was looking for some alone time?" Gatomon stopped in the middle of a grape vine and turned to Kari, holding a spoon in her hand.
"Probably, everyone needs that time you told me." Gatomon then looked back at the tv and started to boogie and disco. Kari sighed and looked back at her worried parents. This must've been worse when Tai had been blamed for her sick sunstroke incident.
"Well, should I tell my parents?" Gatomon didn't turn back this time, she was on a record for setting an all new dance... until the song switched to Jennifer Lopez. Gatomon growled at the tv and continued dancing and humming the Weezer song in her head. Kari waited patiently.
"Kari, it's your choice, not mine... but maybe they should know Tai's location? You might know his alone spot." Kari DID know most of them, but as he grew older, Tai kept more hidden secrets, and this one she was partially aware of.
Kari stood up, ice cream dripping from her chin as she approached her parents, done with the police call.
"Mom? Dad? I have something to say... I think Tai is around the trees in a park. Tai probably... oh never mind, let's go look.... come Gato!" Gatomon swiftly turned off the tv and followed Kari out the door. Tai's dad let Mrs. Kamiya walk out first and looked back at the television set confused.
"Did I see a cat turn off the television? And please don't tell me it tangoed to a Sumo Wrestler song, that one Tai enjoys so much.... Yikes, don't get overboard." Tai's dad went out and locked the door.
Sora sighed sadly and looked out the window of her apartment. Matt tried to comfort her, but nothing worked. Sora blamed it on herself for letting Tai leave last. She couldn't help it. She was very sad about the situation.
"Sora? Cheer up. Hey, what do you want for me to do to actually cheer you up?" Matt asked her as he sat down beside her. Sora looked at Matt.
"M-m-maybe... if we could search for him?" Matt snapped his fingers.
"Sure Sora! I heard Tai's parents were going out with the police as a search party!"
And so, here they were. Police, Sora, Mat, Tai, Kari, Mr. + Mrs. Kamiya, Gatomon, Biyomon, nearly everyone. Searching the thick land of forest covering the area. After a while, the police told them to look in groups of four. Easy. Matt, Sora, Gabumon, and Biyomon went together.
"Where can he be?" Sora said to herself as they continued searching through the forest. Sure, her and Tai were best friends as kids, but she didn't know all of his hiding spots right now. OH! Stupid Sora, if you hadn't hurt him earlier... poor guy. She felt sympathetic towards Tai, but also(at the same minute) thought it was childish to run away from home for that reason. Sure it was love and all, and love did strange things.... Maybe this was one of them???
"Stop!" hissed Matt silently. Sora stood in her tracks and bent down to her knees. Matt opened a little hole through the bushes to see Tai leaning againest a tree, and Agumon standing there, talking to him.
"Great! Sora! Biyomon! Stay here! I'll go look for the others with Matt! Right Matt?" Gabumon asked in a loud whisper. Matt nodded and then slowly got up and walked a bit until he could run unoticed.
"Good luck! Don't try anything really stupid!" Matt called back. Biymon giggled then watched through the hole with Sora.
"Well... TAI! Stop sitting there moaning and groaning to yourself! Do something about it!" The way Agumon just exploded got that out of him. He didn't mean to hurt his friend, but it hurt Agumon just watching Tai sitting there, depressed, and uncheerful. Agumon knew it was right! Tai turned hishead towards Agumon.
"Just go up and tell Sora you love her! Get it over with! PLEASE! Tai... I hate it when your like this. So come on, put your act together before I get your mom to cook you up her 'Liver surprise!". That got Tai. he stood up, a bustle of leaves blew underneath him. Agumon looked up.
Is this the Tai he knew? Agumon looked up into his eyes. They were happy. Agumon was sure of it once he smiled.
"Thanks Agumon." Agumon smiled and saluted Tai like a soldier, but fell over. Tai laughed and helped him up.
"So uh... your gonna go tell Sora that now?" Tai nodded. Agumon cheered.
"But... just as soon as I... well... I think I still want a couple minutes before this happens. I mean, our relationship already will be in shards on the floor. She'll reject me... she... well... um... let's start going back then... it'll be a long bit before we reach her. I hope my folks don't go crazy". Tai shook his head as Agumon and him disappeared behind thick bushes and boulders on the grey path leading to a park with a small playground and a BIG fountain in the middle.
Tai couldn't tell Agumon his TRUE feelings. At least the deep ones. He couldn't bring it up to Sora. She'd reject him. She'd be happy with Matt, and have guilt inside of her. But right now, Tai was being hurt with the scenes he'd seen them do.
All he really wanted was her to be happy... why not with me? Tai thought silently...
Unaware of the evil presence above them...
Sora left as soon as Agumon had said "So uh... your gonna go tell Sora that now?" with Biyomon. Tai loved her? Tai... her best friend... LOVED HER? She did think Tai was kinda cute. But Matt... well, I guess he does shower only at night...
BOOM!!!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!!!
Sora turned her head around. Weird. The sky had darkened and a LOUD strike of lightning hit nearby... TAI! Sora stopped in her tracks and started back towards Tai's place where she'd left him and the orange digimon. Matt and the others weren't far behind. She didn't hear him yell even....
"Agumon... the sky... It's... nevermind." The clouds seemed to have turned gray on Tai, but he shrugged it off. Probably just a change in colour. The two walked in silence along the bumpy rock road.
"Tai, you better do it soo- AHHH!!!!!" BOOM! Tai fell back onto the pavement road, head first. His eys opened in pain, his body sprawled on the cement. He made sudden jolts and movements, and then turned his head slowly and gasped.
Agumon had obviously known who it was by his evil voice. Tai knew him too. But how could he got out of Myotismon?
"D-d-Demidevimon! You digiv-v-v-olved to some hideous thing!" Agumon yelled. He immediatly warp digivolved.
"Agumon! Warp-digivolve to...... WARGREYMON!!!!!!!!"
"You! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO TAI!!!!" bellowed WarGreymon. His claws did an upperthrust to no one in particular. Demidevimon's digivolved form, a MarineDevimon. He hissed and grinned evilly. Laughing.
"Fool! Think you can beat me? You nearly killed me inside Myostismon's body! Think you can beat me?" Marine Devimon laughed and flew into the air, closely followed by Tai's partner digimon in mega.
"TAI!!" Sora ran at top speed to his body, swollen on the ground.The sudden jolts and hideious face expression made her feel like killing herself. As she approached Tai, Marine Devimon growled and then shot a blow from his hands, like Slphymon did.
"NO!!!" WarGreymon took this as his chance to attack. Quickly, WarGreymon used his right claw and left claw for a Cross Cut! Marine Devimon got injured bad, but to WarGreymon's surprise. The wound had vanished. Marine Devimon flew back at WarGreymon, top speed, and headbutted WarGreymon.
From below, a man was phoning up 911 as everyone was almost at Tai. BOOM! The shock had hit Tai! Sora broke down along with almost everyone of the DigiDestined and Tai's family. This time, Tai's body had jolted from so many shocks and he managed to lay his head onto the pavement, even though it was bloody already. He shut his eyes, and had tight breathing. Joe managed to get him in the right position on Mrs. Kamiya's lap. Everyone cried.
In the sky, WarGreymon motioned to the other mons to not digivolve. This was personal. MarineDevimon wanted revenge on Tai's partner digimon for a reason... a reason the others couldn't know about. But WarGreymon couldn't think of that now!
MarineDevimon struck again, his long tentacle like arms struck at WarGreymon's legs. It wrapped around WarGreymon who slashed the bit of arm off with his claws. MarineDevimon flew back in terror, staring at his bleeding arm.
He turned to WarGreymon who was ready to counter him. "You... BUMBLING! BLIND BUTT! YOU'LL PAY!!!!!!!" MarineDevimon charged at WarGreymon again, who had already summoned up his attack.
"Nove Force!" The sudden meteor WarGreymon created slammed into MarineDevimon, making him fell into nothing. WarGreymon smiled and looked down, Tai was being taken into the ambulance and Sora walked into the ambulance with him, and Tai's mom.
Then he suddenly switched back to rookie form... IN THE AIR?!?!?!?! Agumon fell, waving his arms around stupidly. Like Agumon can really fly.
"HELP!" Puff! He landed on something cushioning alright. Agumon turned around...
"Hey! You look like one of those fat guys from that Weezer video Tai likes so much!". How Agumon got to the hospital was a mystery...
Sora bit her lip as she waited outside the hospital doors in tears. Her face buried in Mr. Kamiya's shirt. Matt sat beside her, but didn't think it'd be good for her to snuggle on him. Kari fell asleep on her mom's shirt, it was a long wait. Gatomon? Underneath the bench.
All the DigiDestined's beside their lovers, kissing in the hospital. An old guy in a wheelchair sighed and rolled off.
WHOOSH! Everyone turned to the hospital doors at the far end.
"Agumon?" T.K said before he we would sleep again. Agumon came in, all puffy and collapsed onto the bench where Kari was, waking her up.
"A-Agumon? What are you doing here?" She then turned to face her mom's swollen red eyes."Is Tai awake mom?" Mrs. Kamiya shook her head. Then the doctors came out, Joe being the one with the news.
"W-w-w-well... he's okay. But um... oh, nevermind. Everyone can go and see him. I'm going to get me a coffee bar snack." Joe said walking off. EVERYONE burst through the doors. Except Sora, Biyomon, and Agumon, who decided seeing him privately later was a good time.
When everyone cleared out, the three remaining walked in. Kari told her Tai was asleep. Sora took in the information and walked into the tiny room.
It was silent. The window was open, wind blew in and into Sora's hair as the door closed behind her. The digimon quickly assembled at their side of the bed. Then.. slowly, Tai started to stir...
"Tai!... Are you okay?" Sora quickly ran her hands through his hair as Tai smiled for her. That smile. Agumon sighed a releif. Thank goodness for Sora, Agumon thought, NOW TELL HER BEFORE YOU DIE ON HER AND ME!
"S-S-Sora?... I-I.... I Luh, luh-vuh... you... I love you...." Tai said. Sora hushed him and tucked his blankets for him. What a cute couple, what a cute scene, Biyomon thought.
"Shhh.... I heard you and Agumon in the park... shh..." Tai would've slapped himself silly for that. She heard? Good greif!... But the question....
"D-D-Do you love.. m-me back?.... answer from your heart..... P-Please..."he stammered. Sora shivered. Tai asked her this at the theatre, THIS is what got him here! Well, at least he won't run away now, Sora thought. She took a deep breath. The sooner, the better.
"Well... I" She looked at Tai. STUPID SORA! JUST...
"Sora..." Tai felt around and then locked and grasped onto her hands. They had a deep stare into each other's eyes. They locked.
"I-If you really... love M-Matt... I w-w-w-won't stop you. Not n-now anyways. I just want you to be h-h-happy." Tai said it. It was done with. Gone. Now the loss of Sora would tear away at him forever. Sora stood up, not knowing what to say.
"Really Tai?" Tai slightly nodded. Agumon was angry inside. ARGH! Sora? How could you turn him down? Now I can't WAIT to see this despression stage! Agumon thought.
Biyomon took air and took one last look at Tai, then Sora, then Tai. Sorry Tai, I honestly thought you and Sora were a couple.... A cute one. With that, she left.
Agumon got off the stool he sat on and looked at Tai on his tippy toes. The hospital beds were tall. Agumon stared at Tai, giving him an angry look.
"You screwed up big time Tai." Tai smiled at him then shut his eyes, indicating Tai was about to sleep again.
"I-I-I know...."
"WHOA! Watch it! This isn't Kari when she was little. Tai! Quit acting like a drunk so we can get to your bed Please." his mother said. A couple days and Tai got out of the hospital, free to GO HOME and rest. So that's what is happening. The doctors told the Kamiya's Tai would be in a wheelchair for 2 weeks, and for 4 weeks (or a month), his left arm would be numb and barely usable. He'd need great care.
Tai would go to school in a week. So now, he'd spend only one week in a chair, and 3 weeks with a bad arm.
As soon as his parents went into the bedroom to watch tv and talk, Kari, Gatomon, and Agumon came in the door. Tai grinned happily.
"Hey... wassup? I think I got to take a breather, a couple z's. But that's what Joe recommended. Hey, I get to miss school for a week!" Tai said. Kari laughed. Gatomon jumped onto the bed and cureled up at the end of Tai's feet trying to bite the olive looking toes that stuck out from under his blue blanket.
"Stupid Tai. Gone for two weeks, miss TWO weeks of school! Geez, think of what a whole month would've gotten you into! You wouldn't even know 10 x 10!" Kari said. Tai counted his fingers pretendingly.
"104?" They all laughed. A couple minutes later, it was time for Kari to head off to school. She waved to Tai, grabbing her lunch money and backpack. Then she zoomed out the apartment door. Agumon went over to Tai's desk as Kari never used it. Gatomon followed him. Tai had fallen asleep, snoring, drooling.
Agumon and Gatomon looked backwards to see Tai starting to move around in teh bed, messing up the blankets, crinkling them like he usually did. Agumon sighed and then turned to look down into the streets. He pointed with his claws.
"There Gatomon! It's Sora!" he said. Gatomon scurried to teh window's ledge and looked out. Then back to Agumon, who let down his claws.
"Dont' you think they'd make a great couple?" Agumon asked. Gatomon had been confused.
"I heard T.K and Kari mention it sometimes. Or Kari and Davis. But what's a couple? And who? T.K and Kari?" Agumon shooke his head, pretending to be an expert.
"Well Gatomon. A couple is two people who are in love with each other. You better kow what that means because I am still confused by that word. ANYWAYS.... I think Tai and Sora would be hot together!" Gatomon felt a chill go down her back.
"Then I'd better get my eggs ready to cook on them shouldn't I?"
"No no! Hot as in couple term. Meaning really good looking together. And no, not mushed together. Like, beside each other! Hey! Think I could get a job as a Digimon teacher?"
"You wish."
Knock Knock!
Tai's mom sighed and yelled "KARI! GET THE DOOR!". Probably another salesman, and Kari knew how to deal with it. From her room, Kari came out armed with a bowling all attached to a heavy piece of wood.
She walked to the door. It was after school, Kari was in the middle of her homework when "the Queen" had summoned her to "Slaughter a Evil Salesman" at their door. Kari slowly opened the door and set the stick with teh bowling ball on it aside. She smiled and made a stance saying 'Come on in to the Kamiya's Messy Wreck Crew!".
"Who is i- Oh, Hi. Delivering Tai's homework?" Tai's mom asked the visitor. Karo closed the door behind her as Sora scraped the mud off her shoes and took them off.
"Yep. He has SO much homework he'll be crying." Sora went to Tai's room and quietly opened the door. The room was dark, the curtains were up. Agumon asleep in Tai's desk chair. The computer was on. The website being Yahoo. Sora turned to see Tai asleep in his bed.
She silently laughed and looked at him. Tai flopped on his stomach, drooling, left arm hanging from the bed stiffly, his right arm touching the wall, left leg hanging onto the bunk ladder, and his right leg... well, was on a sleeping Gatomon.
"Go ahead, I'll leave you alone in here. Where's Biyomon?... Oh, nevermind." Kari said slamming the door shut. Sora didn't see Tai even try to wake up, just sleeping.
"K, Tai, I'll leave your homework on your desk." she silently tiptoed to the desk. Then had a thought. I WANT Tai to wake up, I need to talk to him. Then Sora lt out the tiptoeing and thudded across the floor. She put the paper on the desk then turned to Tai.
"zzzzzzzzz....." Sora sighed and then went back outside.
And on it went until it was Monday again. Sora REALLY wanted to talk to Tai, but she knew he needed to sleep. But now she was getting the impression she had to WAKE him up. She smiled as she was delivering the homework today. He HAS to be awake today. I will throw ice water over him if he doesn't!
As she opened the door, she saw Tai at the computer surfing the net in his pj's. She sighed. He looked handsome like that. Beatiful. Agumon was now in Tai's bed reading a comic book. She knocked the door and saw Tai turn to her and sighed. Then turned back to his computer.
Sora looked againest the wall. A comfy looking wheelchair and two metal crutches. Poor Tai... wait'll I tell him. Sora walked up to the desk and THUMP went the papers on the desk. Tai stopped clicking the mouse with his right hand. Sora peeked to see his left arm dangling to the side. Sora then turned to his eyes. Those eyes.
"Thanks." he said, then turned back to the internet. Sora sighed and tapped his shoulder.
He turned, seeming bothered, looking at her.
"What? I'm busy finishing up a book report." Sora shed a single tear.
"Tai... Thanks for showing me that back in the hospital." Tai was confused lifting one eyebrow.
"Showing you what?"
"That... I actually love you. I broke up with Matt. Seems he's interested in that girl you met in France once. That Katherine person. Cheater. Well.... Tai. I Love you... forgiveness? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you. Back at the concert in Christmas... what... what really happened was-"
"Go on." Tai said as Sora hesitated.
"Well, those were for Matt..."
"Oh..." Tai said slumping his head.
"But... I was just asking him that night to help me tell you my feelings for you. I really did love you. But as Matt told me all these things, I sort of... liked him. Those cookies, brownies, whatever. They were just saying thanks for helping me."
Tai looked up.
"Sora... I forgive you... will you forgive me for just... running away? I just needed alone time. But I bet you were scared to heck that someone wasmissing eh? Oh, ... I'm sorry for just leaving you in the theatre. I was fustrated.... honestly." Tai looked down, shuffling his feet weakly.
"I forgive you...."
At school, Tai was of course the most popular soccer player. Girls wanted his photo, a rare treasure, of the hero in a wheelchair. Most cried all over him. But whena picture came up, Izzy and Sora came in, Sora wrapping her arms around Tai's neck. Izzy standing beside Tai showing off a badeg he got from a policeman (his uncle) a couple days ago.
Everyone seemed really happy for them.
"Hey! I can move my arms ladies and gents!" Tai announced in front of the class 2 weeks later. Tai pointed to his left arm. Obviously.
Every girl dropped in teh classroom to the floor. The sports players cheered! They lost 5 games while Tai was gone. What a valuble player. Sora smiled at Tai. Who smiled at him.
'I Love you' he lipped to her. Sora giggled and kicked a girl behind her in the face.
"I love you too Tai Kamiya." She said whispering.
Ah... more Taiora stories! YAY! I also feel downright angry at the Saban, Toei, whatever. I mean, they dumped Taiora for Sorato, showing it off in Season 2. It made me angry. Right now, just thinking of it. But anyways, what I'm trying to do is finish up fanfics. Right now, it's going to Griffon's Decision(My first fic I got up here) and a Digimon fic most likely No More D to Slay. I just want to get everything done already so I can start new ones!
You know, I remember making my first story, I was small. It was about a farm with animals who never ate anything until an ice cream truck came and then they started eating again... now it seems pathetic.

p.s: Taiora rules!
"Hello? May I speak to Izzy please?" Izzy's mom giggled a bit and replied back softly.
"Izzy is in his room doing algebra, and by the way, whom may I ask is this?" Izzy's mom listened and nodded her head as she covered the mouthpiece with a cupped hand. She knocked on Izzy's door whom was right beside the phone's. "IZZY!!!!! PHONE!!!!!"
Izzy stumbled out of his room holding a blue pen in his hand. Using his other free hand he held onto the door side and pretended to die and collapse in front of his mom.
"Very funny mister, now someone wants to talk to you." Izzy sat up and sighed as he took the phone.
"Hello?" He heard a breathe of relief and worried feelings on the otherside of the phone.
"Hello Izzy? Do you know where Tai is?"
"No, I'm sorry... why?" Izzy stood up and dusted himself as he heard sniffling on the other side of the phone. Izzy leaned againest the wall, hand in pocket, one foot againest the wall, listening on the phone. His eyes darted around the room.
"Well, nope, I don't have a clue. I'm sorry I couldn't help Mrs. Kamiya.... yes, oh, by the way, did you see Tai bring home a disk with a green logo of Weezer on it? That's my cd and I was wondering wether Tai was done with it or not...... OKAY OKAY! If I see Tai I'll tell you, but what about my Weezer cd?.... okay, I'll wait, Tai loves Weezer anyways.... Okay, goodbye. I have to get back on some algebra questions.... Thanks. Bye." Izzy hung up the phone and went into his room confused. Tai missing? Not like a scruffy haired boy can disappear THAT easily.
"And so? The world goes ROUND and ROUND, I've heard. Maybe you find another person to love with Tai. It's only a girl!" Tai sighed. The sun scorched them, and they took shelter under a tree. It's been three days since Tai had gone missing. The world had grown so huge, so big around him, Tai didn't talk alot. ALl he could think of was Sora's reactions... those horrific answers. How could she have done it? Only couple years back, they were in deep red love shades! HOW? What happened? That big fight? Tai begged for forgiveness, he constantly did, what had gone wrong? WHY? This annoyed him. That was the topic of the last three days. He felt too embarassed to go home. Also the fact that Sora knew where he lived, would phone him up, talk about "love" gunk, Tai didn't need it. He just needed time to spend alone.... sort of.
"Yeah Agu, but you see.... Argh... you mons never get what I mean... especially you. You don't even work in my house when my parents are gone to help me clean up. What do you do?" Tai said, distracted off his rather "all three day marathon" topic.
"Sit around, drink, eat, sleep, eat, watch moving pictures on a screen, oh, and did I mention eat? Oh, well, if I didn't, eat." Tai laughed and then sank back into depression of realtionships. Agumon sighed.
"Is there ANY way to cheer you up?"
"A news update. The big hit of today is the boy who's been missing for 3 days. He was at the movie theatres nd then was kidnapped and taken away. Recent updates prove he must have been at a mall or school or park to drink water. As water you can't live without for 3 days... duh. Some STUPID people do not know the simplest facts... HEY! DON'T TAKE ME OUT!@($^(^!)^)! I was beiong sarcastic! Geez... well, anyways, that is our update... by your favorite news reporter on Fox Family! HEY! LOU! SHUT UP ALREADY! I DID NOT TAKE YOUR HAIR GEL!.... Oh, we're still on air? Eh-heh... eh-heh.. psss! Turn it to the sports!" Mrs. Kamiya cried again and grasped onto her husbands shirt. Tai's dad only changed the channel as the goof of a reporter was dragged out by security guards. Kari and Gatomon (another cat excuse) sat on the floor, drinking a milkshake and eating ice cream at the same time too.
The fact troubled her mind that her brother had just gone missing. She knew Sora and Tai went out the day to the movie theatre to watch a movie. When Tai left, he wasn't all excited, but that was him nowadays. AND.. Agumon left an all day a thon! HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE THAT? Kari sighed as she took another spoon of her choclate ice cream. She sure did miss Tai around. Her big brother would always crush some ice cream into his hair (choclate kind) and walk past his parents to see if they noticed a different substance in his hair other than oil.
Gatomon purred and licked a little bit of Kari's ice cream. Tai's dad patted his wife on the shoulder and sighed, he changed it to the music station. Mrs. Kamiya cried louder.
"Shh, let's not worry.. how about we go ask the police to help us search for him? Okay? I mean, he should be home by now, so what do you think?" Mrs. Kamiya nodded as Tai's dad helped her off the couch to the phone. Gatomon made sure they weren't looking before she danced to another Weezer song.
"Gatomon,... yum... um, sorry, but do you think Tai is really missing? Obviously the news reporters made it interesting by saying he was kidnapped. But of course, Tai would slice and dice before their very eyes... or maybe Tai was looking for some alone time?" Gatomon stopped in the middle of a grape vine and turned to Kari, holding a spoon in her hand.
"Probably, everyone needs that time you told me." Gatomon then looked back at the tv and started to boogie and disco. Kari sighed and looked back at her worried parents. This must've been worse when Tai had been blamed for her sick sunstroke incident.
"Well, should I tell my parents?" Gatomon didn't turn back this time, she was on a record for setting an all new dance... until the song switched to Jennifer Lopez. Gatomon growled at the tv and continued dancing and humming the Weezer song in her head. Kari waited patiently.
"Kari, it's your choice, not mine... but maybe they should know Tai's location? You might know his alone spot." Kari DID know most of them, but as he grew older, Tai kept more hidden secrets, and this one she was partially aware of.
Kari stood up, ice cream dripping from her chin as she approached her parents, done with the police call.
"Mom? Dad? I have something to say... I think Tai is around the trees in a park. Tai probably... oh never mind, let's go look.... come Gato!" Gatomon swiftly turned off the tv and followed Kari out the door. Tai's dad let Mrs. Kamiya walk out first and looked back at the television set confused.
"Did I see a cat turn off the television? And please don't tell me it tangoed to a Sumo Wrestler song, that one Tai enjoys so much.... Yikes, don't get overboard." Tai's dad went out and locked the door.
Sora sighed sadly and looked out the window of her apartment. Matt tried to comfort her, but nothing worked. Sora blamed it on herself for letting Tai leave last. She couldn't help it. She was very sad about the situation.
"Sora? Cheer up. Hey, what do you want for me to do to actually cheer you up?" Matt asked her as he sat down beside her. Sora looked at Matt.
"M-m-maybe... if we could search for him?" Matt snapped his fingers.
"Sure Sora! I heard Tai's parents were going out with the police as a search party!"
And so, here they were. Police, Sora, Mat, Tai, Kari, Mr. + Mrs. Kamiya, Gatomon, Biyomon, nearly everyone. Searching the thick land of forest covering the area. After a while, the police told them to look in groups of four. Easy. Matt, Sora, Gabumon, and Biyomon went together.
"Where can he be?" Sora said to herself as they continued searching through the forest. Sure, her and Tai were best friends as kids, but she didn't know all of his hiding spots right now. OH! Stupid Sora, if you hadn't hurt him earlier... poor guy. She felt sympathetic towards Tai, but also(at the same minute) thought it was childish to run away from home for that reason. Sure it was love and all, and love did strange things.... Maybe this was one of them???
"Stop!" hissed Matt silently. Sora stood in her tracks and bent down to her knees. Matt opened a little hole through the bushes to see Tai leaning againest a tree, and Agumon standing there, talking to him.
"Great! Sora! Biyomon! Stay here! I'll go look for the others with Matt! Right Matt?" Gabumon asked in a loud whisper. Matt nodded and then slowly got up and walked a bit until he could run unoticed.
"Good luck! Don't try anything really stupid!" Matt called back. Biymon giggled then watched through the hole with Sora.
"Well... TAI! Stop sitting there moaning and groaning to yourself! Do something about it!" The way Agumon just exploded got that out of him. He didn't mean to hurt his friend, but it hurt Agumon just watching Tai sitting there, depressed, and uncheerful. Agumon knew it was right! Tai turned hishead towards Agumon.
"Just go up and tell Sora you love her! Get it over with! PLEASE! Tai... I hate it when your like this. So come on, put your act together before I get your mom to cook you up her 'Liver surprise!". That got Tai. he stood up, a bustle of leaves blew underneath him. Agumon looked up.
Is this the Tai he knew? Agumon looked up into his eyes. They were happy. Agumon was sure of it once he smiled.
"Thanks Agumon." Agumon smiled and saluted Tai like a soldier, but fell over. Tai laughed and helped him up.
"So uh... your gonna go tell Sora that now?" Tai nodded. Agumon cheered.
"But... just as soon as I... well... I think I still want a couple minutes before this happens. I mean, our relationship already will be in shards on the floor. She'll reject me... she... well... um... let's start going back then... it'll be a long bit before we reach her. I hope my folks don't go crazy". Tai shook his head as Agumon and him disappeared behind thick bushes and boulders on the grey path leading to a park with a small playground and a BIG fountain in the middle.
Tai couldn't tell Agumon his TRUE feelings. At least the deep ones. He couldn't bring it up to Sora. She'd reject him. She'd be happy with Matt, and have guilt inside of her. But right now, Tai was being hurt with the scenes he'd seen them do.
All he really wanted was her to be happy... why not with me? Tai thought silently...
Unaware of the evil presence above them...
Sora left as soon as Agumon had said "So uh... your gonna go tell Sora that now?" with Biyomon. Tai loved her? Tai... her best friend... LOVED HER? She did think Tai was kinda cute. But Matt... well, I guess he does shower only at night...
BOOM!!!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!!!
Sora turned her head around. Weird. The sky had darkened and a LOUD strike of lightning hit nearby... TAI! Sora stopped in her tracks and started back towards Tai's place where she'd left him and the orange digimon. Matt and the others weren't far behind. She didn't hear him yell even....
"Agumon... the sky... It's... nevermind." The clouds seemed to have turned gray on Tai, but he shrugged it off. Probably just a change in colour. The two walked in silence along the bumpy rock road.
"Tai, you better do it soo- AHHH!!!!!" BOOM! Tai fell back onto the pavement road, head first. His eys opened in pain, his body sprawled on the cement. He made sudden jolts and movements, and then turned his head slowly and gasped.
Agumon had obviously known who it was by his evil voice. Tai knew him too. But how could he got out of Myotismon?
"D-d-Demidevimon! You digiv-v-v-olved to some hideous thing!" Agumon yelled. He immediatly warp digivolved.
"Agumon! Warp-digivolve to...... WARGREYMON!!!!!!!!"
"You! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO TAI!!!!" bellowed WarGreymon. His claws did an upperthrust to no one in particular. Demidevimon's digivolved form, a MarineDevimon. He hissed and grinned evilly. Laughing.
"Fool! Think you can beat me? You nearly killed me inside Myostismon's body! Think you can beat me?" Marine Devimon laughed and flew into the air, closely followed by Tai's partner digimon in mega.
"TAI!!" Sora ran at top speed to his body, swollen on the ground.The sudden jolts and hideious face expression made her feel like killing herself. As she approached Tai, Marine Devimon growled and then shot a blow from his hands, like Slphymon did.
"NO!!!" WarGreymon took this as his chance to attack. Quickly, WarGreymon used his right claw and left claw for a Cross Cut! Marine Devimon got injured bad, but to WarGreymon's surprise. The wound had vanished. Marine Devimon flew back at WarGreymon, top speed, and headbutted WarGreymon.
From below, a man was phoning up 911 as everyone was almost at Tai. BOOM! The shock had hit Tai! Sora broke down along with almost everyone of the DigiDestined and Tai's family. This time, Tai's body had jolted from so many shocks and he managed to lay his head onto the pavement, even though it was bloody already. He shut his eyes, and had tight breathing. Joe managed to get him in the right position on Mrs. Kamiya's lap. Everyone cried.
In the sky, WarGreymon motioned to the other mons to not digivolve. This was personal. MarineDevimon wanted revenge on Tai's partner digimon for a reason... a reason the others couldn't know about. But WarGreymon couldn't think of that now!
MarineDevimon struck again, his long tentacle like arms struck at WarGreymon's legs. It wrapped around WarGreymon who slashed the bit of arm off with his claws. MarineDevimon flew back in terror, staring at his bleeding arm.
He turned to WarGreymon who was ready to counter him. "You... BUMBLING! BLIND BUTT! YOU'LL PAY!!!!!!!" MarineDevimon charged at WarGreymon again, who had already summoned up his attack.
"Nove Force!" The sudden meteor WarGreymon created slammed into MarineDevimon, making him fell into nothing. WarGreymon smiled and looked down, Tai was being taken into the ambulance and Sora walked into the ambulance with him, and Tai's mom.
Then he suddenly switched back to rookie form... IN THE AIR?!?!?!?! Agumon fell, waving his arms around stupidly. Like Agumon can really fly.
"HELP!" Puff! He landed on something cushioning alright. Agumon turned around...
"Hey! You look like one of those fat guys from that Weezer video Tai likes so much!". How Agumon got to the hospital was a mystery...
Sora bit her lip as she waited outside the hospital doors in tears. Her face buried in Mr. Kamiya's shirt. Matt sat beside her, but didn't think it'd be good for her to snuggle on him. Kari fell asleep on her mom's shirt, it was a long wait. Gatomon? Underneath the bench.
All the DigiDestined's beside their lovers, kissing in the hospital. An old guy in a wheelchair sighed and rolled off.
WHOOSH! Everyone turned to the hospital doors at the far end.
"Agumon?" T.K said before he we would sleep again. Agumon came in, all puffy and collapsed onto the bench where Kari was, waking her up.
"A-Agumon? What are you doing here?" She then turned to face her mom's swollen red eyes."Is Tai awake mom?" Mrs. Kamiya shook her head. Then the doctors came out, Joe being the one with the news.
"W-w-w-well... he's okay. But um... oh, nevermind. Everyone can go and see him. I'm going to get me a coffee bar snack." Joe said walking off. EVERYONE burst through the doors. Except Sora, Biyomon, and Agumon, who decided seeing him privately later was a good time.
When everyone cleared out, the three remaining walked in. Kari told her Tai was asleep. Sora took in the information and walked into the tiny room.
It was silent. The window was open, wind blew in and into Sora's hair as the door closed behind her. The digimon quickly assembled at their side of the bed. Then.. slowly, Tai started to stir...
"Tai!... Are you okay?" Sora quickly ran her hands through his hair as Tai smiled for her. That smile. Agumon sighed a releif. Thank goodness for Sora, Agumon thought, NOW TELL HER BEFORE YOU DIE ON HER AND ME!
"S-S-Sora?... I-I.... I Luh, luh-vuh... you... I love you...." Tai said. Sora hushed him and tucked his blankets for him. What a cute couple, what a cute scene, Biyomon thought.
"Shhh.... I heard you and Agumon in the park... shh..." Tai would've slapped himself silly for that. She heard? Good greif!... But the question....
"D-D-Do you love.. m-me back?.... answer from your heart..... P-Please..."he stammered. Sora shivered. Tai asked her this at the theatre, THIS is what got him here! Well, at least he won't run away now, Sora thought. She took a deep breath. The sooner, the better.
"Well... I" She looked at Tai. STUPID SORA! JUST...
"Sora..." Tai felt around and then locked and grasped onto her hands. They had a deep stare into each other's eyes. They locked.
"I-If you really... love M-Matt... I w-w-w-won't stop you. Not n-now anyways. I just want you to be h-h-happy." Tai said it. It was done with. Gone. Now the loss of Sora would tear away at him forever. Sora stood up, not knowing what to say.
"Really Tai?" Tai slightly nodded. Agumon was angry inside. ARGH! Sora? How could you turn him down? Now I can't WAIT to see this despression stage! Agumon thought.
Biyomon took air and took one last look at Tai, then Sora, then Tai. Sorry Tai, I honestly thought you and Sora were a couple.... A cute one. With that, she left.
Agumon got off the stool he sat on and looked at Tai on his tippy toes. The hospital beds were tall. Agumon stared at Tai, giving him an angry look.
"You screwed up big time Tai." Tai smiled at him then shut his eyes, indicating Tai was about to sleep again.
"I-I-I know...."
"WHOA! Watch it! This isn't Kari when she was little. Tai! Quit acting like a drunk so we can get to your bed Please." his mother said. A couple days and Tai got out of the hospital, free to GO HOME and rest. So that's what is happening. The doctors told the Kamiya's Tai would be in a wheelchair for 2 weeks, and for 4 weeks (or a month), his left arm would be numb and barely usable. He'd need great care.
Tai would go to school in a week. So now, he'd spend only one week in a chair, and 3 weeks with a bad arm.
As soon as his parents went into the bedroom to watch tv and talk, Kari, Gatomon, and Agumon came in the door. Tai grinned happily.
"Hey... wassup? I think I got to take a breather, a couple z's. But that's what Joe recommended. Hey, I get to miss school for a week!" Tai said. Kari laughed. Gatomon jumped onto the bed and cureled up at the end of Tai's feet trying to bite the olive looking toes that stuck out from under his blue blanket.
"Stupid Tai. Gone for two weeks, miss TWO weeks of school! Geez, think of what a whole month would've gotten you into! You wouldn't even know 10 x 10!" Kari said. Tai counted his fingers pretendingly.
"104?" They all laughed. A couple minutes later, it was time for Kari to head off to school. She waved to Tai, grabbing her lunch money and backpack. Then she zoomed out the apartment door. Agumon went over to Tai's desk as Kari never used it. Gatomon followed him. Tai had fallen asleep, snoring, drooling.
Agumon and Gatomon looked backwards to see Tai starting to move around in teh bed, messing up the blankets, crinkling them like he usually did. Agumon sighed and then turned to look down into the streets. He pointed with his claws.
"There Gatomon! It's Sora!" he said. Gatomon scurried to teh window's ledge and looked out. Then back to Agumon, who let down his claws.
"Dont' you think they'd make a great couple?" Agumon asked. Gatomon had been confused.
"I heard T.K and Kari mention it sometimes. Or Kari and Davis. But what's a couple? And who? T.K and Kari?" Agumon shooke his head, pretending to be an expert.
"Well Gatomon. A couple is two people who are in love with each other. You better kow what that means because I am still confused by that word. ANYWAYS.... I think Tai and Sora would be hot together!" Gatomon felt a chill go down her back.
"Then I'd better get my eggs ready to cook on them shouldn't I?"
"No no! Hot as in couple term. Meaning really good looking together. And no, not mushed together. Like, beside each other! Hey! Think I could get a job as a Digimon teacher?"
"You wish."
Knock Knock!
Tai's mom sighed and yelled "KARI! GET THE DOOR!". Probably another salesman, and Kari knew how to deal with it. From her room, Kari came out armed with a bowling all attached to a heavy piece of wood.
She walked to the door. It was after school, Kari was in the middle of her homework when "the Queen" had summoned her to "Slaughter a Evil Salesman" at their door. Kari slowly opened the door and set the stick with teh bowling ball on it aside. She smiled and made a stance saying 'Come on in to the Kamiya's Messy Wreck Crew!".
"Who is i- Oh, Hi. Delivering Tai's homework?" Tai's mom asked the visitor. Karo closed the door behind her as Sora scraped the mud off her shoes and took them off.
"Yep. He has SO much homework he'll be crying." Sora went to Tai's room and quietly opened the door. The room was dark, the curtains were up. Agumon asleep in Tai's desk chair. The computer was on. The website being Yahoo. Sora turned to see Tai asleep in his bed.
She silently laughed and looked at him. Tai flopped on his stomach, drooling, left arm hanging from the bed stiffly, his right arm touching the wall, left leg hanging onto the bunk ladder, and his right leg... well, was on a sleeping Gatomon.
"Go ahead, I'll leave you alone in here. Where's Biyomon?... Oh, nevermind." Kari said slamming the door shut. Sora didn't see Tai even try to wake up, just sleeping.
"K, Tai, I'll leave your homework on your desk." she silently tiptoed to the desk. Then had a thought. I WANT Tai to wake up, I need to talk to him. Then Sora lt out the tiptoeing and thudded across the floor. She put the paper on the desk then turned to Tai.
"zzzzzzzzz....." Sora sighed and then went back outside.
And on it went until it was Monday again. Sora REALLY wanted to talk to Tai, but she knew he needed to sleep. But now she was getting the impression she had to WAKE him up. She smiled as she was delivering the homework today. He HAS to be awake today. I will throw ice water over him if he doesn't!
As she opened the door, she saw Tai at the computer surfing the net in his pj's. She sighed. He looked handsome like that. Beatiful. Agumon was now in Tai's bed reading a comic book. She knocked the door and saw Tai turn to her and sighed. Then turned back to his computer.
Sora looked againest the wall. A comfy looking wheelchair and two metal crutches. Poor Tai... wait'll I tell him. Sora walked up to the desk and THUMP went the papers on the desk. Tai stopped clicking the mouse with his right hand. Sora peeked to see his left arm dangling to the side. Sora then turned to his eyes. Those eyes.
"Thanks." he said, then turned back to the internet. Sora sighed and tapped his shoulder.
He turned, seeming bothered, looking at her.
"What? I'm busy finishing up a book report." Sora shed a single tear.
"Tai... Thanks for showing me that back in the hospital." Tai was confused lifting one eyebrow.
"Showing you what?"
"That... I actually love you. I broke up with Matt. Seems he's interested in that girl you met in France once. That Katherine person. Cheater. Well.... Tai. I Love you... forgiveness? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you. Back at the concert in Christmas... what... what really happened was-"
"Go on." Tai said as Sora hesitated.
"Well, those were for Matt..."
"Oh..." Tai said slumping his head.
"But... I was just asking him that night to help me tell you my feelings for you. I really did love you. But as Matt told me all these things, I sort of... liked him. Those cookies, brownies, whatever. They were just saying thanks for helping me."
Tai looked up.
"Sora... I forgive you... will you forgive me for just... running away? I just needed alone time. But I bet you were scared to heck that someone wasmissing eh? Oh, ... I'm sorry for just leaving you in the theatre. I was fustrated.... honestly." Tai looked down, shuffling his feet weakly.
"I forgive you...."
At school, Tai was of course the most popular soccer player. Girls wanted his photo, a rare treasure, of the hero in a wheelchair. Most cried all over him. But whena picture came up, Izzy and Sora came in, Sora wrapping her arms around Tai's neck. Izzy standing beside Tai showing off a badeg he got from a policeman (his uncle) a couple days ago.
Everyone seemed really happy for them.
"Hey! I can move my arms ladies and gents!" Tai announced in front of the class 2 weeks later. Tai pointed to his left arm. Obviously.
Every girl dropped in teh classroom to the floor. The sports players cheered! They lost 5 games while Tai was gone. What a valuble player. Sora smiled at Tai. Who smiled at him.
'I Love you' he lipped to her. Sora giggled and kicked a girl behind her in the face.
"I love you too Tai Kamiya." She said whispering.
Ah... more Taiora stories! YAY! I also feel downright angry at the Saban, Toei, whatever. I mean, they dumped Taiora for Sorato, showing it off in Season 2. It made me angry. Right now, just thinking of it. But anyways, what I'm trying to do is finish up fanfics. Right now, it's going to Griffon's Decision(My first fic I got up here) and a Digimon fic most likely No More D to Slay. I just want to get everything done already so I can start new ones!
You know, I remember making my first story, I was small. It was about a farm with animals who never ate anything until an ice cream truck came and then they started eating again... now it seems pathetic.
