CHAPTER 5 AWAKENING

Sora held Tai in her arms with tears streaming down her face.
" Tai! Tai, please wake up!"
" Come on, Tai, I know you can wake up," said Augumon.
" Please Tai!" said Sora desperately.
Tai opened his eyes and said weakly," Fight Malvadomon for me, Sora. I'll be there. Don't worry." He closed his eyes.
" Tai, please don't go!" More tears threatened to flow. Suddenly she stood up.
" I'll fight for Tai," she said. She glared and a look of determination came into her eyes. Kari came over to Tai and knelt next to him.
Then Sora and Tai's digivices both floated out of their pockets and..........combined! Then Augumon and Biyomon digivolved into one digimon!
" They DNA digivolved...." said Mimi.
" But how......?" said Izzy.
Augumon and Bioyomon became something close to a dragon. It looked like a Metalgreymon-sized Augumon covered with grey and blue armor. Large pink and grey wings were folded against its back.
They all stood there for a moment in surprise looking at the new digimon before them, even Malvadomon. He hadn't expected this. He thought he could destroy them, but then they unexpectedly digivolved into whatever this new digimon was.
"Attack!" said Sora. Melvadomon had no time to protect himself.
"Wing-blaster!" said Bioymon and Augumon.
Melvadomon was hit and then disappeared.
"This isn't the last you'll see of me," he said warningly amd then was gone.
" Now we know what one of the new evils is," said Tk grimly.
Joe kneeled next to Tai and checked for a pulse. He looked at Sora.
"Sora."
"What?" asked Sora anxiously. Everyone looked at Joe.
"He's alive. He still has a pulse."
"That's good,"said Izzy. Sora was overjoyed and her eyes lit up. She sat down and held Tai in her arms.
"Thank you for saving me," she whispered.
"Why don't we leave them alone for a few minutes?" said Mimi and they walked away.
"Kari, did you know about Malvadomon?" asked Tk curiously.
"I could feel there was something evil. I said we shouldn't go that way, but no one heard me."
"It's too bad we didn't hear you. If we had, this wouldn't have happened,"said Matt.
"Well, we would have had to meet him eventually," said Joe truthfully.
"If we had met him later, maybe not just Tai would have been injured," said Izzy.
"That's true, but I wonder why they DNA digivolved?" said Mimi.
"None of us really does,"said Izzy.
But, Izzy was wrong. Augumon and Bioyomon knew. If it had been another situation it would have been different. They might not have DNA digivolved. All the digimon knew this and looked at each other knowingly.
Sora held limp Tai in her arms. Tears slid out of her eyes and found their way down her face. Anger and determination had been replaced by tears. She picked up Tai's hand in hers. It was cold like ice. Carefully, she layed him on the ground and got a sweatshirt. Gently, she put it on Tai. She leaned over a little and rested her head on Tai. Rocking slightly, she held him as tears seeped into his hair.
"Oh, Tai," she murmered,"don't leave me. Please live. I-I," Sora's voice broke and she stopped speaking.
The rest of the digi-dstined came back. Sora stopped crying and wiped tears off her face.
"As they came closer, Sora called,"Joe! Come here!" Everyone ran over, worried something had happened to Tai.
"He's like ice. His body tempature must be down."
"What should we do? I already put his sweatshort on."
"I'll light a fire," offered Augumon. Joe nodded.
" Kari, get more of Tai's clothes."
"Ok," said Kari and quickly go the clothes.
Everyone ate dinner silently. Sora didn't eat much and what she did eat she ate absent mindedly.
"Sora,"said Joe,"you should eat more. Not eating won't help Tai."
"I know. I'm not hungry," said Sora stubbornly. Joe shook his head.
"Sora, why don't I stay up and watch Tai? You can go to sleep," said Joe.
"No, Joe, I'll watch him,"said Sora just as stubbornly as before.
Joe nodded and everyone went to bed.
"Take care of Tai,"said Kari.
"Don't worry, I will."
"Thanks."
Sora slowly rocked Tai. Oh, Tai. You have no idea how much you mean to me. If I could go back in time I would save you. Tai, I didn't watch over the adventurous one. I failed you, Tai. I'm sorry.
"Tai, please wake up. Wake up, Tai!" Sora shook Tai in an attemp to wake him. She stopped and carefully straitened Tai's clothes. As the night wore on, her head would droop and she would jerk awake.
Sora opened her eyes. I must have fallen asleep. She looked around her. Tai stirred. He opened his eyes.
"Tai,"she said happily.
He smiled sleepily and said,"You're welcome." He fell back to sleep. Sora smiled, and soon, she too fell asleep. She slept with a smile on her face, glad Tai was fine.
***
"Sora! Wake up!" said Bioyomon.
"Good Morning," said Sora as she opened her eyes.
"How's Tai?"asked Kari.
"I think he's going to be fine. He woke up last night."
"That's great!" said Joe.
Tai opened his eyes, which felt as heavy as stones.
"Hey," he said weakly with a smile.
"How ya' feeling, Tai?" asked Augumon.
"A little tired, that's all."
"We're glad your okay. We were worried," said Izzy.
Sora reached into her pocket and gasped.
"Sora, what is it?" asked Tai worridly.
"Look at uor digivices! The combined during the battle, but the still haven't seperated. It's weird!" Sora handed Tai the didgivice.
"That is weird. Izzy, do you know anything about this?" Tai handed him the digivice.
"I've never seen anything like it! Remember those things that were like your crests? Look! They combined too!"
"I think you're right Izzy." said Tai in amazement.
"Do you think their digivices combining had anything to do with them DNA digivolving?" asked Mimi.
"I thought so before...but now...I'm not so sure," aswered Izzy.
"Wait a minute! They DNA digivolved!?" exclaimed a surprised Tai.
"That's right!" said Sora.
"That must have been so cool..."
"Not that this isn't intersting, but don't you think we should be leaving now?" said Joe.
"Yeah, we should get going," said Mimi.
"What about Tai?" asked Matt.
"I'm going to carry him," explained Sora. Then she knelt down and Tai climbed on to her back. Matt helped her up and they were on their way.
They climbed up a steep treacherous mountian, climbing higher and higher. Sora climbed with Tai on her back, straining against his weight. Mostly Tai slept.
"Sora, let me walk. I'm fine. At least have someones else carry me."
"I can carry you," she said stubbornly.
As they climbed the mountain, they all felt they were nearing one of their destinations....

Author's note: Iknow. It's a short chapter. Sorry it took me so long and that it's short. Read and rewiew no da! Please review every chapter. I like to know what changes I should or shouldn't make even if I've already written the next chapter. I hope u like this chapter! K, ja ne no da!
-Digi Mistress Sakura

p.s. The next chapter might be under a different name. I'll probably use the name Sakura Sachiko or Sakura Aneko. For those who don't know, Sakura means cherry blossom(those are my favorite flowers), Sachiko means happy child, and Aneko means older sister. I'm the oldest, so I thought Aneko fit, but so does Sachiko because I tend to be happy all the time. I can always find something to make me happy(most of the time anyway.) Tell me which one u like better no da! k, ja ne for real now no da!
