A/n: Umm, the second part. Thank you for correcting my spelling. As you may have figured out, my writing program has no spell check. Sorry. There'll be a bit more Taito and Daiken in this part.
Disclaimer: *Stares at people* Come on! I've already told you in the first part, I don't own Digimon!

"Tai! Stop!"
Tai stopped swimming and turned back to Matt, who was a considerable distance behind him. Matt was floating, his life jacket keeping him up. He was panting and grabbing his side. He grimaced.
"Cramp," he said.
Tai sighed and swam back to Matt. Matt gave him a weak smile. Tai was annoyed at having to stop swimming, the little island was closer. On the other hand, swimming in a life jacket was easier said than done, and he was glad for the break. Not to mention that the current was pulling them aaway from the island, and every time they stopped to rest they were carried further back.
"We should stop swimming," said Matt. "It's getting dark, and I don't want to get lost."
"You're right, probably," said Tai. "But we'll be far away from the island when we wake up."
"Who said anything about sleeping?"
"What?"
"We can't go to sleep, Tai. That's how people freeze to death, because they fall asleep when they're cold."
"I'm not cold."
"You've been swimming. You'll start to feel the real temperture of the water soon."
Tai folded his arms. "Fine."
"Sorry, Tai."
"Why should you be? I can go with no sleep for a while." He frowned, and added sarcastically, "Besides, I like being hungry and freezing and lost all at once."
"You aren't the only one who's unhappy. Deal."
"I'm trying to, Matt."
~*~*~*~*~
"I wish we had some firewood."
"And what good would that do? How would we start a fire?"
"Do you have to get into technicalities, Ken?"
"Sorry."
"S'alright."
Davis sighed and leaned back against the tree. His right side was mildly burned, and he hissed as it touched the tree. He felt lucky, though. Ken was between pink and red, though tomorrow he'd be looking rather like a lobster.
"Don't you hurt?" asked Davis.
"Yeah, but I can take it."
"My sunburn hurts."
"Good fo you."
"Ken!"
"What else am I supposed to say? I'm going through the same thing."
Davis took a deep breath. Ken had been right. As usual.
"I wonder what I'd be doing if I was at home right now?" said Davis.
"I'd be in my room, studying or something like that."
"I'd be either eating or yelling at Jun. Maybe e-mailing someone."
"Like Kari?"
"Maybe, why?"
"You seem to have a crush on her."
Davis blushed. He couldn't tell Ken the truth. He would think that Davis was some sort of freak or something. To be honest, Davis had never realy liked Kari. In fact, he had never really liked any girl. He had gotten his first crush, though, but it was on a boy. Davis figured it was some sort of phase. Well, he got another crush on a nother guy. And then another. Davis figured that he was gay, and that scared him. What if somebody found out? So, he pretened to have a crush on Kari, and he made it obvious. After a time, he really began to belive it. But then he had met Ken.....
"I guess," said Davis.
"You guess?"
"I'm not sure anymore. That's all."
"You weren't ment to be?"
"I guess so."
"Oh," said Ken.
~*~*~*~*~
"I'm really cold, Joe!"
"So'm I, Mimi, but that's all the reason more for us to stay awake. Besides, if we fall asleep, we might miss a rescue ship or something."
"Why the hell would they send a rescue ship out at midnight?"
Joe shrugged. "It's a possibility."
"Yeah, right," Mimi said, coldly.
"Why are you so mad at me? I didn't do anything!"
"I'm not mad at you."
"Funny way of showing it."
"I'm sorry!" she said. "I'm sorry! It's just....I'm a little scared. "
"So'm I, Mimi. But we'll get through this."
"What if we don't," she said, comming dangerously close to crying.
"Mimi, don't cry. Please, don't! We'll be fine, okay? Just trust me."
~*~*~*~*~
"I can't belive we still haven't found them yet!" said Mr. Ishida around one that morning. He lit a cigarette. "All day and we only found dead bodies."
"We'll try again tomorrow," said Mrs. Yagami, sitting down on the hood of her car. "Hellicopters and boats."
"What was that?"
"Choppers and boats!" she repeated. "We'll have official search teams using choppers and boats to find them tomorrow!"
"Oh."
Her husband came and put a comforting arm around her. "We'll find them, don't worry."
"But I do worry!" she said, begining to cry. "What if Tai's like Izzy and Cody? Or Kari? I don't want to loose my babies!" she wailed to the sky. "Please, don't take my children from me, God! Please! Please! Please!" With the last "please", she was crying so hard she could barely make any noise at all.
Mr.Ishida watched as she refused her husband's comfort and just sat there, on the ground, in hysterics. He sat there helpless. After a while, she calmed down and got into the passenger side of the car.
Mr.Ishida finished his cigarette and got inside his own car, but did not sleep. Instead, he looked out at the sea.
'Live, Matt. Be alive.'

"I wonder how Matt is?" said TK into the darkness. A sliver of moonlight fell across his face, illuminating his eyes.
"He's fine, TK," she said, listening to the sound of water from the opening.
"I wonder if he's with...never mind, I'm not supposed to tell."
"No! Tell! Tell! I can keep a secret!" she said, eargarly.
"Well..."
"C'mon, I'll tell you one about me....and Tai, so we'll both be traitors."
"Okay. Matt's got a crush on someone."
"Who?"
"Well....it's...it's Tai."
"Taichi? My brother?"
"Hai, Taichi."
"That's perfect!" she said, leaping to her feet.
"What's perfect?" asked TK after she had jumped up and down some.
Kari sat down. "Tai's gay! I don't know who he's got a crush on, but...it might work."
TK smiled. "Maybe."
"Maybe after we're toghether again..."
TK could hear her thinking. There was a silence that clearly stated that the "after" was really an "if".
"Hey, you promised to tell me a secret about you," he said, breaking the silence.
"Yes, but....welll, see, we can use what we told each other ot make Tai and Matt happy, so it really isn't all that bad."
"Nice try."
"No."
"Fine."
~*~*~*~*~
"It's freezing!"
"I know that, Tai."
"Let's start swimming again."
"We can't see anything!"
"You just have to spoil everything."
"You're complaining more than Mimi!"
Tai snorted.
"I'm serious!" said Matt.
Tai went quiet for a little while. "Sorry. I'm just uncomfortable. I'm hungry, cold, tired, sore, and I'm stuck in the middle of the ocean, and I have no clue where my sister is or when help'll come."
"At least you aren't alone, Tai. It's awful to be all alone."
Then Matt did something unusual.
He began to cry.
~*~*~*~*~
Sora woke from the light sleep she had been having. She thought she had heard someone yell.
"Hello?" she screamed. "Hello!"
Nothing but echos. Sora sank back against the wall. what she wouldn't give to have something to eat. Even when she had gone hungry in the Digital World, it had never been this bad.
"But that was because we were all together."
She stared out to sea again. Hopefully the sun would come up soon.She was freezing cold and her fingers were numb. Maybe she had frostbite.
No, wasn't likely.
"I just want someone to come and get me."
~*~*~*~*~
"Matt! What is it? What's the matter?"
"I'm not sure," said Matt, still crying.
Tai bobbed in the water for a moment, then put his arms around Matt. The blond cried into his shoulder for a while longer, then stopped. He rested his head on Tai's shoulder for a moment, then lifted his head.
"Sorry," said Matt. "It's just....I hate being alone."
"But you aren't alone."
"I feel like it, though," said Matt, dejectedly.
Tai considerd what he could do. Then, he kissed Matt in a completely spontaneuos act. He half expected the other boy to pull away. Instead, Matt kissed him back.
After a time, they broke off, panting a little.
"I'm sorry," said Tai, turning away.
Matt shot out an arm and pulled Tai back to him. "What for?"
"I just....But I thought....But wait...." Tai was confused. He took a deep breath, and started over. "I though that you would, I dunno, be uncomfortable with me kissing you."
Matt smiled. "I wasn't. In fact I...liked it."
"I'm in love with you, Yama."
"Me too." They were about to kiss again, but Matt pulled away and said," But not when you're singing."
~*~*~*~*~
The sun was comming up. Sora watched it, talking to herself quietly. Talking to herself proved to be quite entertaining.
"Why haven't I thought of this sooner," she said. "Because I was to wrapped up in my own misery, that's why."
In fact, she had become so totally absorbed in her new form of entertainment, she could have sworn she could hear another voice talking to her.
It was another voice. But it wasn't talking to her.
"We'll check this area today. These two sections here are where our search boats and hellicopters will be looking."
"Yes, but, what about all of the other sectors?"
Sora new that voice.
"Mama?" she whispered.
"We'll be looking there either this afternoon or tomorrow, it depends on how the morning goes."
'Yell! Scream! This is your only chance!' she thought to herself.
"MAMA!!!!!!!!" she screamed. "HELP! MAMA!!!"
"Did you hear something?" asked Sora's mother.
"HELP!!" Sora screamed. "Help!"
"Now I know I heard something!"
"Ma'am, get back from the edge, it--"
Sora managed to move herself so that one arm was sticking out. She waved it.
"HHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!"
"Look! An arm! Someone's down there!"
The rescue worked began to talk into her walkie-talkie.
"Who's down there?" asked Sora's mother.
"ME! SORA!"
"Sora!" cried Mrs. Takenouchi. "My Sora? You're alive!"
Sora heard weeping, not realizing she was crying herself.
"Don't worry, we'll get you out of there soon!"
~*~*~*~*~
Davis looked blearily up at the sky. The sun was still rising, but he could already feel the heat.
Beside him, Ken was snoring lightly. How he loved that sound. It was so gentle, so quiet.
"It's more of a lulaby than a snore."
Davis looked around, to make sure no one was there. It was out of reflex, he knew no one would be watching. Then he bent over and kissed Ken on the forehead.
Ken made an unusual snorting soud. Davis jumped about three feet in the air and one to the side. Ken flutterd his eyelashes.
"Mmhhhhwhaa...?" he said.
'Note to self, Davis: Ken is a light sleeper.'
"Nothing. Good morning, Ken."
"Morning."
There was a strained silence.
"Maybe we'll be found today."
"I hope so. I'm hungry."



A/N: Okay, done with part two. Sorry this took so long. I was in Boston and then Fanfiction.net was down... Hopefully this'll be up before I leave for Seattle.
