A/N: Hm... I'll try to do this chapter longer... And: PLEASE REVIEW!!!



"Where am I?" Sora thought groggily.

"Sora!" Tai and Matt yelled in surprise. "You're sick too, now?" Tai asked confused. "How are the others?"

"They're fine... But um... What is this? Where are we?"

"I think we're just unconscious." Matt said. "Unconscious in some strange, odd, abnormal way..."

'I wonder if he knows...' Sora thought, mentally blushing.

"I know." Matt said. Sora almost jumped out of her skin.

"I told him. I heard you say it." Tai said a little nervously.

"Oh..."

"Sora... I kinda like you too..." Matt said quietly. If he had been able to, he'd been looking down on his feet.

"Why couldn't you hear me?" Sora asked Matt. If she and Tai could hear the outside world, why couldn't Matt?

"I don't know... I just couldn't. I could hear the others before but now I can't. Maybe it's that fever thing. It could have gotten worse."

Sora felt like if she had been punched in the stomach. She didn't want to loose the boy she loved, just when she'd found out that he loved her too.

"You don't have to worry, Sora. I've already promised Tai I won't die!"

As he mentioned the word 'die' Sora began to cry. "Oh, Matt! Don't die, please don't!" she sobbed.

To this Matt almost panicked, he had just tried to calm her down, and she began to cry!

"Don't cry, Sora!" He wished he could give her a hug and comfort her but since they only could hear each other's voices in the darkness, he just tried to comfort her with his words. "Calm down! I'll be fine! And so will you and Tai."

"Yeah... I guess. Tai is getting better already. Last time, when I was awake, when I checked his fever, it was much better." Sora said, trying to sound positive.

"Phew! I'm longing for food." Tai said. "Then we should be waking up soon, huh?"

"But Matt's getting worse." Sora said quietly.

"I am?" Matt asked.

"Oh, no!" Tai whispered. "You have to fight it!"

"Don't you think I've tried that?"

"I think it's because that Matt was infected by Knimon. And Matt infected Tai and me, so maybe the virus changed in some way when it got to Matt." Sora guessed.

"You sound like Izzy." Matt said. He felt tired again.




"She's sick too... But why?" Joe said, carefully laying a hand on Sora's hot forehead. "Is this disease just spreading uncontrolled? Because if it does, it's pretty bad."

"What if it spreads by some kind of contact?" Kari suggested. "Cuz' when Matt wasn't breathing, Tai did CPR..."

"But how does that explain Sora being sick?" Mimi asked.

"I didn't think of that..." Kari sighed.

"Maybe, he stopped breathing again?" T.K said.

"If that happened, Sora would've woken us up. She doesn't know CPR." Izzy said, while typing on his precious laptop. "And if the disease spreads by mouth-contact, maybe she did something else?"

"Like what?" T.K wondered, looking confusedly on Izzy.

"Like... Um..." he said, turning red.

"Like kissing him? Of course! I knew it!" Mimi yelled. "Sora's got a crush on Matt!"

"She does?" The others said, visibly surprised.

"Haven't you noticed that?"

"Um... No." Joe said.



"Matt, Sora!" Tai said. "Wake up you guys! How can you sleep so much?" Both Sora and Matt had been sleeping. Sora, mostly because she'd just gotten the fever. Matt, mostly just being tired.

"What is it, Tai?" Sora asked sleepily.

"I feel um... kinda strange..." Tai said.

"Okay, what feels 'um... kinda strange?'" Matt wondered.

"I don't know, really... But it feels like I can almost feel my body again!"

Both Matt and Sora was wide-awake in a second. "You can!?" they yelled.

"Yeah! Maybe I'm about to wake up!"

"That's great, Tai!" Matt said.

"Maybe the others have found a cure for all of us!" Sora suggested.

"I think I'm waking up now!" Tai said joyfully. His voice seemed more distant now than before.

"Bye!" Matt and Sora said. "Good luck!"

"Bye! See ya!"

"Say hello to TK and the others from us!" Matt yelled, but his friend was already gone.


Suddenly Tai was aware of the world. Such a wonderful feeling! He could smell the forest, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw his friends. They weren't looking at him for the moment. Tai slowly inhaled the fresh air. 'Man, I never knew how good it was to breathe!' he thought happily. 'Maybe I should say something to them?' But when he tried to, all he got out was a strange croaking sound. He remembered that he hadn't spoke in some time. But at least they heard him.

"Tai?" "Hey, you guys! Tai's awake!" "Tai!" the digidestineds cheered.

Tai cleared his throat. "Hey..." he said a little weakly, feeling a bit worn-out after the time of unconsciousness.

"I was so worried about you!" Kari said, hugging her brother.

"I'm fine! How long have I've been out?"

"About a week. Maybe a little less. How are you feeling?" Izzy wondered.

"Still fine... Just tired. And hungry."

"You should eat some then. You haven't eaten something in decades." Joe said.
"I'll go fix you some food." he continued.

Tai suddenly remembered Sora and Matt. "How are they?" he asked, pointing at the limp bodies of his friends.

"Sora's fever is stable, but Matt's still getting worse." Izzy said. "We don't know how to cure them. You just got better and woke up. It looks like Sora is getting better too."

"Oh." Tai said quietly. He lay down again.

"Here's your food..." Joe said but almost tripped over a branch. "Whoa!" He screamed, but luckily, he didn't drop the food.






I'll write another chapter soon and please review this one!
