A digimon fan fic. I got this idea when watching the first series. All the usual warnings yaoi ect. This is most likely going to go horrible wrong but there... oh yeah it's a cross over with GW.

Part one - Mixed Emotions

Tai watched as Matt walked off. Tai sighed 'at least things are gonna be easier now that Matt has gone.'

Tk looked up at Tai.

"Will he be coming back Tai?"

Tai closed his eyes to block out the view of the one he loved (Not that Matt knew that Tai loved him) and said,

"I'm not sure Tk."

"We're the digidestined." Mimi pointed out. "We were meant to be together and Matt will be back."

Mimi smiled sadly as Matt disappeared from view.

Kari hugged Tk as a single tear fell from his eye. Sora placed an arm round Tai and Mimi held on to Joe and Izzy.

"It'll be alright." The digimon spoke up together. "You still have us and Matt's got Gabumon to look after him."

"Yeah you're right guys. Come on we have a Dark Master to defeat still."

***********************************************************

Matt looked back over his shoulder but the others and more importantly Tai wasn't in view any more.

'If only,' Matt thought, 'my feelings were different then me and Tai might not fight so much and get along.'

Matt sighed and Gabumon looked up.

"What am I doing Gabumon? I should be telling Tai how I feel not fighting with him and not walking away from my problems but I can't cope any more. Oh..."

"Matt is this way we're leaving the others?"

"I'm sorry Gabumon but I can't be around someone that doesn't even like me and all we do is argue with each other. And it isn't fair on the others."

"Why don't you just tell Tai how you feel?"

Matt and Gabumon exited the forest and started down a hill.

"Cause Tai would hate me even more. And I can't stand knowing that he hates me even more because I..."

"But Matt..."

"Look. I'm not sure why I'm walking away from my feelings, it's cause I don't understand them? I'm not sure why I like sorry love Tai. But I can't keep fighting with him and it's easier for me this way."

Matt stopped and knelt down in front of Gabumon.

"I'm sorry. If you want to be with the others then you go and catch up with them... I don't mind."

"Oh Matt. I don't wanna be with them if you aren't there. You're my best friend and I'll stand by you no matter what."

"Thanks pal."

"You're welcome Matt. Now where are we going?"

Matt and Gabumon began their journey once again.

"I'm not quite sure. Where ever the yellow brick road takes us."

Matt raced ahead and Gabumon called after Matt.

"I don't think there's a yellow brick road in Digiworld Matt!"

Matt looked back and laughed.

"What?"

Gabumon ran to keep up and they neared the bottom of the hill.

"I don't think there is a yellow brick road in Digiworld."

"You're most likely right. There isn't a yellow brick road round here."

"But you said where ever the yellow brick road will take us."

"Haven't you ever heard of the wizard of oz?"

"Nope. What is the wizard of oz?"

"It's a story."

Matt scanned the waste land ahead of him and set out across it, 'no Tai to boss me about' he thought and than "Oh damn I thought I had him off my mind."

"Had who off your mind?"

"Tai. Oh Gabumon what am I going to do?"

Matt sat on the dusty ground and put his head in his hands. His blond hair flopped forward.

"Going to do about what?"

"Tai. I can't stop thinking about him. I love him yet I hate his guts."

"You hate his guts but love the rest of him?"

Gabumon was confused; his friend wasn't making much sense any more.

"No I mean... I don't know what I mean. Oh Gabumon."

"It's alright Matt I'm here. If you want I could go and tell the others to wait and we could group back up with them."

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Cause Tai would think I was a quitter and a failure."

It was than that Matt realised that it hadn't been Gabumon that had asked him why not and Gabumon realised he hadn't asked Matt why not.
They both spun round, Gabumon ready to digivolve if someone threaten Matt.

A girl stood there. Or at least Matt thought it was a girl. She had long chestnut coloured hair, which was pulled back into a braid, which was about two feet long and she had sprinkling violet eyes, but she wear black. Her trousers were black, knee high boots were black and the jacket was black. A small amount of white showed at the top making her look like a vicar. She looked about the same age as Matt.

"Who are you?" Gabumon hissed.

"Hi, I'm Duo Maxwell."

"You're a boy?" Matt asked his mouth hanging open.

"Yea." Duo looked down. "Last time I checked any way." He looked up and smirked at Matt's face.

Slowly Matt came back to his senses.

"Oops. Sorry I didn't mean to stare. It's just your hair and eyes make you look like a girl. Did you say your name was Duo Maxwell? "

"Yep!"

"As in the Maxwell demon?"

"No I'm worst than the Maxwell demon... I'm the God of Death!"

Matt and Gabumon just stared. Duo gave a dry laugh.

"So your name is Matt and your digimon is Gabumon?"

"How much did you hear?"

"Sorry I didn't mean to ears drop but I haven't seen another human in this world before but there are more of you?"

Matt wiped the sweat and tears from his face and patted the floor next to him.

"Sit down. I've never seen another human here part from the other digidestined who were already my friends."

"The digidestined?" Duo sat down.

"Yeah. Why don't you have a digimon?"

"I'm not sure. I've help many digimons but..."

"How?"

"I'm not sure. I have a kind of have a weird power in both this world and the human world. I can create flames and stuff."

"You must be a humanamon."

"A what?"

"What's that Gubamon?"

"Don't know never meet one. It's a cross between a human and a digimon, I think."

"That explains the name."

And into the late afternoon and early evening Matt, Gubamon and Duo sat talking.

***********************************************************

"I hope Matt's okay?"

"He will be Tk. Don't worry about him. He can look after himself." Tk looked across the new campsite at Tai who sat deep in thought.

"What's wrong with Tai, Mimi?"

"I don't know Tk but Sora is gonna go and find out.

Tai looked up at approaching footsteps and smiled at Sora.

"It's just a little bit too big and a little bit too false."

Tai hung his head. "Sorry."

"It's alright Tai. I know that you love Matt."

Tai head snapped up and he glared at her.

"What?"

"I've known since this morning when Matt left. It's the way you act now and than when he left."

"Any one else knows?"

"Any one with eyes."

"Does Matt?"

"I don't know."

"He went off so I'm guessing that he does now."

"It's might not..."

"I think it is. He hates me... I need him Sora."

"What? You're the leader Tai and you can do anything."

"When he's around."

"You were trying to impress him?"

"Kinda."

"It's okay."

"No it's not. I can't do any thing now cause he isn't backing me up. He hates me Sora and I hate me at the moment. Why didn't I stop him? Why did I let him go?"

The chestnut head hung down and Sora patted it gently.

"Tai. Mimi is right. The digidestined are supposed to be together. Matt will come back, one way or another."

"But he wont want to talk to me."

"Why not?"

"Cause I love him and he..."

"Might love you too." Sora knelt down and lifted Tai's head. "You don't know why Matt went off. I'm guessing it's because he is just as unsure about his feelings as you are. Don't worry about it Tai."

Sore looked up and smiled at something over Tai's shoulder and the smile which was on his face told her that he had heard everything.

"Matt will be back."

And Sora stood up and left.

Augumon looked up at Tai and smiled at him.

"Cheer up Tai. This could be worst."

"How?"

"Matt could be on his own right now."

"He is."

"No he isn't." Tai spun round.

***********************************************************

"So you love Tai?"

"Yeah but he hates me."

"Has he told you that?"

"He doesn't need to." Matt bushed back Gubamon's fur.

"Answer the question. Has he told you that he hates you?"

"Why do you ask Duo?"

"Answer me and I might answer you."

"No."

"Than why do you think that he hates you?"

"It's written on his features and you have to answer my question. Why do you ask?"

"I think that you are being blind."

"What?" Matt snapped angrily. "I'm not blind." Matt jumped up.

Duo looked up calmly. His violet eyes glowed through the gather dusk and his hair sprinkled as the last rays of the sun hit it.

"I never said that you were. I said you were being blind. There's a difference."

Gubamon opened an eye and looked at Duo who smiled back.

"Really?"

"Yes Gubamon. Being blind doesn't just mean you can't see anything. Being blind can also mean that you can't see another people's feelings."

"Huh?"

"Maybe you should ask Tai how he feels."

"I'm not sure." Matt hung his head and than shock it. "You don't understand Duo, he hates me."

"I have to go back to the human world but Gubamon... take Matt back to the others. Him and Tai need to talk."

Duo stood up and bushed the dirt of him.

"I understand more than you think, my friend, hopefully I will see you again. And get to met the other digidestined as well."

Duo began to walk off and than Matt raised his head.

"Hay Duo?!"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Good bye Matt, Bye Gubamon."

Matt waved and Gubamon yelled.

"Bye Humanamon."

Duo laughed before disappearing into nowhere.

Matt swung off Garurumon who changed back to Gubamon. Matt looked round at the others. Joe and Izzy were by Izzy's laptop. Sora was talking to Tai and Mimi, Tk and Kari were by the fire. The digimon were either asleep or by their partners.

Tk looked up and was about to yell Matt's name when Matt put a finger to his lip. Matt hugged the younger blond before walking towards Sora and Tai.

"No it's not. I can't do any thing now cause he isn't backing me up. He hates me Sora and I hate me at the moment. Why didn't I stop him? Why did I let him go?"

"Tai. Mimi is right. The digidestined are supposed to be together. Matt will come back, one way or another."

"But he wont want to talk to me."

"Why not?"

"Cause I love him and he..."

"Might love you too." Sora knelt down and lifted Tai's head. "You don't know why Matt went off. I'm guessing it's because he is just as unsure about his feelings as you are. Don't worry about it Tai."

Sora looked up and Matt met her stare. Matt smiled letting her know he had heard what they had been talking about.

"Matt will be back."

And Sora stood up and left.

As she passed Matt she smiled again and whispered. "Maybe you should go some where private."

"Thanks Sora." He whispered back and she hugged him quickly and went over to the others who now watched Tai and Matt.

"Cheer up Tai. This could be worst." Augumon said.

"How?"

"Matt could be on his own right now."

"He is."

"No he isn't." Tai spun round at Matt's voice.

"Matt?!"

"Hi Tai."

End of Part one

Duo was given advice... yeah I knew not very believable but...
I would like to say that this wasn't the time when Matt went off after the huge fight with Tai. All were normal ages in this the same as the first series. Duo was age 11. Oh sweet. Don't worry the other GW boys will be in later and Duo will have a bigger part later on!
Humanamon? Aren't got a clue what one of those are but it's a big part of the plot. Short but sweet. More to come. Review please!!!!
