Hi. Chapter 13 of my fic how arrived. Sorry I didn't post sooner; I've been busy with school and junk. So, disclaimer: I don't own digimon. All of my characters and this story have come from the depths of my imagination. I don't own Crash and Burn by Savage Garden. If u wanna borrow any ideas plz ask before doing so. *Dedication to Becci 'D. Thanx for the ideas!! *^_^*
Sora vs. Kora~ The War and the Tragedy
The dance was lasting for 3 hours, from 7-10 on Friday night. Tai and Kora had danced the whole night. Both were good dancers. At around 9:50, they were taking a break and Sora asked Tai to dance. Tai gave Kora a quick glance, which she answered with a shrug. Tai led Sora out onto the dance floor. They began to dance to a slow song. Sora had her arms around Tai's neck and his arms were around her waist. They danced slowly as the music came in soft, gentle waves.

When you feel alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know that you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take it anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

After the song, Sora and Tai shared a soft sweet kiss. "You dance really well." Tai breathed softly. "You do too." Sora whispered back. Tai picked his head up to look to where Kora had been standing. What he saw was what he'd seen when he and Leila had been kissing. A beautiful person with tear-filled eyes that could melt your heart. Tai barely said anything before Sora walked over to where Kora was standing.

"Hey, Kora. Tai and I love each other." "Like he'd like you?" Kora asked in disgust. Sora grinned. "What do you think? Afraid of a little competition, Takenoachi?" Kora's eyes burned with a fire within. Kora stood there with tears coming down her cheeks, leaving a river's trail of tears. Before Sora could do nothing but look smug, Kora slapped her across the face. Sora's hand moved to her face as she held in pain. Kora's tears were flowing fluently. "Is your goal to hurt me?" Kora asked, her eyes welling with more tears. Sora's hand was still at her cheek before she stalked off.
Tai saw the fight between the two before he followed quickly. Kora went after Sora with fierce speed and determination. Sora went across the street and her eyes were filled with tears that she didn't see the headlights coming closer to her. The car was speeding and Kora screamed, "Sora, watch out!" Sora glanced up in fear at the car speeding towards her. Sora was so afraid that she was unable to move. Sora screamed but in a few moments, was pushed out of harm's way just before the car hit. Sora was on her stomach flat on the ground. She turned her head to see how she'd been saved before she heard Tai's frightened cry.
Sora's head whipped around fast and saw the sprawled body across the pavement, blood gushing from the wound on the forehead and the figure lay motionless. Sora's mouth went dry and a lump formed in her throat. Sora shook her head in disbelief; her breathing rate was heavy. "Oh my God!" Sora breathed. There on the ground was the beautiful body of her sweet cousin, Kora Takenoachi. She reached the body at the same time Tai did. Tai felt frantically for a pulse and Sora heard him chant continuously, "Please don't be dead." His eyes clouded with tears as he felt a slow, faint pulse.
Sirens blared down the street and a crowd of students had surrounded the small group. An ambulance and a police car arrived. The people driving the car had joined the crowd and the cops ushered them into the car. Sora sat, holding her cousin's limp hand. Her tears felt with slow plops on the hard pavement. When, a sad cry pierced her ears. She lifted her head and saw a crumpled girl, sobbing her eyes out with a dark red haired boy beside her. Sora squinted and recognized Kara and Izzy.
The paramedics loaded Kora onto a stretcher and asked Sora if she was family or friend. Sora responded she was her cousin and Tai was Kora's boyfriend. She gestured to Kara and Izzy across the street. The paramedic nodded and spoke with Izzy and Izzy ushered Kara onto the ambulance. Tai and Sora followed and the doors shut behind them.
The ride was quick but dragged by like hours. Sora had slipped her hand into Tai's and he gave it a reassuring squeeze. Izzy had managed to console Kara who was now sitting with her face completely blank, only a few tears squeezing out. Tai sat with tears streaming down his cheeks. Sora leaned against him and let her own eyes well with tears.
Kora's body was limp on the stretcher and Sora whispered softly, "This is all my fault." Tai glanced at her and smiled. "It's not your fault." "But, I was the one being mean and I got her angry. She slapped me and I walked away but she followed me. Then, when she saw that speeding car, she saved me. I feel so horrible." Sora sobbed as she collapsed into Tai's arms. He held her and rocked her gently, stroking her back.
Izzy sat next to Kara. "You alright? Kara?" Kara's face was angry. She stood up and went in front of Sora. "How dare you! Why'd you do something like that?" Kara said angrily. Izzy grabbed her arms before Kara could give Sora a punch in the face.
Tai said angrily, "Why are you so upset? Kora will be fine." Kara glared at Tai with disgust. "I wonder what my sister sees in you sometimes!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "You jerk! You never care about anyone except Sora!" "That's not true!" Tai exclaimed as he continued to stroke Sora's back. Kara continued to look at him with disgust before she sat down and held Kora's cold, limp hand.
Sora sobbed harder as Tai was deep in thought. Is Kara right? The ambulance came to a stop in front of Odaiba General. They unloaded Kora's stretcher and put her on a gurney and rushed her to the ER. Tai sat with Sora sobbing against him while Kara filled out forms. Only once did Kara ask, with a cold edge to her voice, what had happened. Sora retold the story in between sobs and Kara finished the paper work and the nurse told them to wait and call any family members or friends later on. The examination and surgery could take a while.
Tai watched the rain come down in torrents. In his mind's eye, he could see Kora being smashed in the stomach by the speeding car. Izzy called the police department and reported the drivers had been DUI. Tai sat as he held Sora's hand and kissed her cheek.
