A/N: I don't know what to write, except that I ate ice cream (Vanilla, strawberry AND pear. Yummy! ^_^). So I'll just get on with chapter ten. Oh yeah... Sorry that I haven't written on this fic for so long time, but I had a lack of ideas and I was out of town for a week. Sorry I kept you waiting.



"Sora?" Matt whispered, not wanting her to wake up if she was asleep.

"Yeah?"

"Sora I like you... Really like you... Love you." he blurted out.

"Matt... I love you too." Sora said sincerely.

"I just wish that I could touch you."

"Me too." She hesitated. "Matt, do you want to know why I think I got ill?"

"Sure... Why?"

"Because I kissed you. Please don't be mad at me!"

"I'm not mad at you!" Matt said mentally blushing. "I just wished that you could have waited until I was cured. Then you wouldn't be sick."

"I just couldn't stop myself..." Sora giggled.

"Well, we could do it again sometime!" The blond chuckled, but stopped abruptly, gasping in a sudden pain.

"Matt? What happened?" Sora asked, her voice trembling.

"I don't know... Argh..." He wailed again.

"Ah! Something's wrong!" Tai shouted, pulling away from Matt. His friend was floundering uncontrollably, panting like a madman.

"Hold him down! He might hurt himself!" Joe yelled, as Matt's foot accidentally kicked his shin. "Or us!" he winced.

Joe, Mimi and Izzy tried to hold Matt still on the dusty ground, but then his breaths only got worse. They went from pants to gasping coughs.

"Matt!" TK yelled when the older blonde's body suddenly went very stiff and he sat up, causing Mimi and Joe to fall backwards. His eyes were wide-open and clouded. Then his body just went limp again and he fell helplessly down on the hard earth.

"What happened with him?" Mimi asked uncertainly. He got on her feats and started to brush the grass and dirt of her pink dress.

"I dunno. But I'm sure that it was some kind of seizure, caused by that fever." Izzy stated, giving Joe a helping hand to get up.

TK slowly brought himself closer to Matt. His brother's eyes were still open, but it didn't seem like they were seeing anything. They weren't looking like they used to do. They were so clouded... and distant. TK's under lip was trebling, and he let out a quiet sob. He felt a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm worried about him too." Tai said comfortably. "He'll be okay, TK. He just needs a little more time than me and Sora."
Tk nodded unsurely, closing Matt's eyes by gently pushing down his eyelids.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_


"Matt?" Sora called. "Matt, are you okay?" What could have happened to him? One moment he's fine, the next, he's out of breath in pain! This just wasn't good...

"Sora..." A muffled voice said.

"I'm right here."

"What happened? I'm so tired."

"I don't know. Maybe you should get some sleep then. I'll be here when you wake up." Sora said in a soothing tone.

"Okay." Matt said and after a few minute he had drifted away to sleep.

"We have to get Matt to a hospital." Joe stated. He was standing beside Izzy, who was looking extremely puzzled.

"But there isn't one single hospital in the entire continent!" Mimi said with a concerned voice.

"Maybe we can take him to Piximon?" Izzy suggested.

"That's way too far away. I'll take an eternity, and we don't have that much time." Joe said.

"Well, what are we going to do then? Sit around and wait?" Tai questioned, sounding very annoyed. He was sitting on a small rock by Matt and Sora. None of them had made a single sign of waking up.

"Calm down, Tai!" Kari said, lightly tugging his blue sweater, but then gasped in fear when some old, high trees fell, causing the ground to shake. Out of the bushes came a gigantic, red dinosaur Digimon.

"It's a Tyrannomon!" Palmon shouted, running over to Mimi.

"Matt!" Tk yelled, turning around running back towards the limp form of his brother and Sora, who still was lying motionless by their soft sleeping bags.

"We have to get them into safety!" Tai screamed.

Joe nodded, and he and Tai sprinted to their friends.

"Tk, run to Izzy and the others." Tai said.

"But..." Tk began but was cut off by Joe.

"Do as he says, Tk!"

The small blonde finally gave in and started following the rest of the group with Patamon right behind him.

Tai kneeled beside Matt and grabbed his shoulders.

"Agumon! I need help!" he said, and the small orange dinosaur grabbed one of his feet. Gabumon hurried to them and gripped the other foot. Together they started running away from the huge Tyrannomon. Joe, Gomamon and Biyomon held Sora the same way, while loping away.

"Where are they?" Tai screamed. They had stopped in glade. The digital jungle around them was looking almost impenetrable, but suddenly they heard a shout.

"Over here!" Mimi yelled. Tai, Joe and their Digimon turned around and saw a small aperture under a large thick root. The kids ran towards the gap and quickly got inside. Outside, the Tyrannomon tramped around searching for the DD's roared, but then gave up.

"Phew..." Izzy sighed. When he'd calmed down, he started to explore the cave. It was shadowy and a bit damp inside, but surprisingly big. The roof was about three or four metres high, and the room that they were in was maybe fifteen square metres big. There were dark openings in the walls, probably leading to other rooms.

"Wow." Tai said, visibly amazed.

"I think it's a bit creepy here." Joe whined.

"You need to loosen up a bit. Take it easy, like me!" Gomamon said.

"Maybe we can stay here for the night?" Izzy suggested.

"Yeah, no bad Digimon can come down here, right?" Tai asked.

"I think it's rather safe here. So what do you guys say?" Izzy said when he had stopped typing on his laptop. The others agreed, and started to roll out the sleeping bags and made themselves comfortable. Agumon made a fire, and Gabumon and Biyomon helped the humans with moving Sora and Matt closer to the warm flames.

'No, not now!' Sora thought. Matt was still asleep, and she had promised him to be there when he woke up. 'No, no, no!' She thought again when the feeling got stronger. It was almost tickling and if she hadn't been so determined to stay, she'd probably be tittering. But now it felt almost as if she'd cry.

She couldn't leave Matt all alone again! It felt like if her entire body was covered with that tickling feeling now.
'Wait a minute...' Sora thought. She could feel her body again! She opened her eyes slightly and couldn't help to feel happy about the scents and all the things she could see. Sora almost felt guilty for it, knowing that Matt was alone in that dark unconsciousness.

She turned her head to the right and saw his golden locks in the dim light of the fire. His eyes were still shut.

"Sora!" A young voice yelled, almost a little to loud. She closed her eyes and felt Tk's arms wrapped around her. "You're awake!" The small kid cheered.

"Yep..." she simply replied and yawned.

"Why are you shouting...? I need my beauty sleep..." Mimi said sleepily. Then she saw Sora and was wide-awake in a second. "Oh, you woke up! I'm so happy for you!"

Sora smiled tiredly, and looked at Matt again. Her smile faded.

"He'll be fine, Sora!" Mimi comforted. "I'm sure he'll wake up too."

"But you don't understand! I promised--"

"Shh! You need to rest!" Mimi cut her of.

"Okay..." Sora said lying back into the soft silky sleeping bag. She sighed, and closed her crimson eyes.


"KKKAABBBRAUUUCCCCH!!!" An awful ear-splitting rumble forced the DD's out of their sleep.

"What's happening!?" Tai screamed as he got on his feats. Suddenly a harshly bright light filled the entire cave.

"What is THAT?" Agumon asked, looking into the glow.

"My eyes!" Mimi yelled.

The light got stronger and stronger until they couldn't keep their eyes open. Then it gradually disappeared.

As the kids slowly opened their eyes, the huge shining Digimon before them clenched its fists and grew ever bigger.

"WHO are YOU, and WHAT are YOU doing in MY cave?"






A/N: Please review and stay tuned for the next chapter!!! I'll hurry up with it!
