As the bright sun shone down on the digital world, the rest of the digidestined made their way across the fields to the appointed meeting spot.
"Come on guys," Kari yelled encouraging everyone, "We are almost there. Look I can see it." She began to flat out sprint to the haven provided for them. The house, a traditional Japanese looking structure, was in the center of an open field with a good view of the surrounding area. "Tai, I'm coming." She huffed as she ran, she had never been good at running, but she was way ahead of the others who also began to quicken their strides. The tired digimon trailed behind even the slowest of runners. Their tiny digifeet pumping their hardest.
Kari reached the house a full three minutes before the rest, she ran inside, screaming her brother's name. She finally made her way out back to the garden area. She stopped as she saw the peaceful couple wrapped in each other's arms. They were asleep and their faces gleamed with happiness and love. Tai could hear the commotion of the others arriving in the house, and woke up slowly, as not to disturb the sleeping Sora. Kari ran to his side and began to kiss and hug her brother.
"Ok, Kari, I missed you too." He said, as he had to pull her off him. "Shhh., you'll wake up Sora." As he said this Sora's eyes fluttered open. She sat up slowly, and stretched.
"Sora, you are alright!" Kari began to hug her now. She was so relieved to see her good friend again. "I was so worried about you guys." She began to cry once more, her eyes were bright red from all the crying she had done over the last day. Tai quickly brought her close for a brotherly hug. Sora also gave her a hug.
"You are so sweet Kari," Sora said, almost starting to cry herself. Tai put his hand on her shoulder.
The touching moment was cut short when a voice shouted out "They are over here!" and a rush of people came crowding around Tai and Sora. Everyone was happy, and all the problems of yesterday were quickly forgotten as the group was reunited.
"How… When.. What.." Joe was flabbergasted at the miraculous recovery of the two. "Sora, you are awake, and you can move…. I don't understand…what did they do to you guys?"
Sora looked at Tai, she had never even thought oh how they were cured. "I...I don't really know. I was running one moment and then I woke up and Tai and Gennai were looking at me."
Tai didn't know what to say either. He had not remembered how they were healed. "It's not important how we were saved, we are alive and that's all that matters. Right??" Tai said.
"That's right." Kari said.
"Sorry to rain on the parade, here guys, but what do we do now?" Davis questioned. No one said anything. No one knew what they were in store for at the moment.
"How about we look for food, I am kinda hungry." Everyone's attention turned to the little orange dinosaur said as he led the rest of the digimon into the garden.
"Bioymon!" Sora yelled, as she ran to the little pink bird and squeezed her tight. "Oh I was so worried about you."
"I was worried about you too." the digimon replied.
"I agree with Agumon, I am getting hungry." Veemon said as he rubbed his stomach.
"Do you guys ever think of things besides food?" Mimi commented. "But come to think of it, I am a bit famished. Where can we find food?"
"There is some in the kitchen area," Sora said as she finally let go of her digimon. "I found it when I was looking around." She led a group of hungry digimon and digidestined into another part of the house. "What do you guys want?" she said as she opened the pantry doors, to expose a room stocked full of every kind of food possible. Not even a second later, she was pushed aside by a herd of digimon and people. While most of the kids began to eat, Sora walked out of the kitchen and back out into the garden, which was in the courtyard of the square house. She took a deep breath of the fresh air and slowly exhaled.
"A penny for your thoughts." Tai saw he startled her, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"Oh, Tai, it's ok. I thought I was alone."
"I can leave you alone if, you want to be." Tai said, as he turned to leave.
"No, you don't have to go. I don't want to be alone." Tai quickly snapped around and approached Sora.
He took her hand.
"You'll never be alone." He looked into her eyes again. Her expression was one of confusion. Had he dreamed that they had shared that kiss, why was she looking at him like this? He loved her. "Sora? What's wrong?"
She turned away from him, and crossed her arms. She didn't know what to do. Was this Tai, her best friend since they were five? What was all this love stuff….did she feel it to? She thought she had, but maybe it was just stress. "Tai, I am confused," she said as her voice shook. She didn't know what to do. Suddenly a sharp pain surged through her body, dropping her to the ground. Tai ran to her side.
"Sora, what's wrong? Come on talk to me."
"Tai, my, my head hurts so much." She gripped her head and tried to stop the throbbing by applying pressure to her head. "It hurts…" Her whole body seemed to tense up.
"JOE!!" Tai yelled. "It's ok Sora. Just stay calm." He began to massage her temples, and Joe came running.
"What happened to her?"
"I don't know, she was fine one minute and then she dropped, her head is throbbing." He looked at her face, the look of extreme pain, was almost too much for him to bear. "You have got to help her!" And then just as suddenly as the pain had started, her body began to relax. The pain had subsided. She was still breathing heavily.
"It's gone," she said as she pulled away from both of them and sat up. She hid her head in her hands, weeping, "What's wrong with me?"
Gennai appeared out of nowhere. "Hello again children." He looked at the three; the looks of horror were still on their faces. "What's the matter?" He questioned.
"Sora had what it appears to have been a massive migraine. But like no other migraine I have ever seen before." Joe informed him.
"I see, when did it start?"
"Just a few seconds ago." Sora said as she wiped the last tear from her eye. "And then it was over, just like that."
"Oh dear." Gennai's voice became quite serious. "Where you able to sense that?"
"Sense what? Gennai tell us now. What happened to Sora?" Tai demanded.
"Just a few seconds ago another powerful surge of dark energy shook a region of the digiworld. But how could you sense that, my dear? Unless…" He stopped and thought.
"What?" Joe asked
"You see when we healed Tai and Sora we had no other alternative to use strands of high powered information and data to undo the wounds and viruses inflicted by Deamon. So now, she must be able to sense power surges in the digital world."
"So, I am like connected to the digital world? Is that what you are saying?" Sora was now even more confused then before.
"Yes, in a way, you are." Gennai was puzzled, yet very intrigued by the newest developments.
"So, Sora and I are like enhanced humans?" Tai asked. He was surprisingly interested in this thought.
"It's not all a game boy. We never thought that there would be side effects, but since there seems to be some, you must take these seriously." By this time the most of the digidestined had returned from stuffing their faces and came back into the garden to find Gennai. "We will have to finish this conversation later. Here." he said as he pulled out a dazzling white crystal and put it in Sora's hand. "Take this, it should help you control the powers that may come." He turned to the others. "Hello. I just came to see how you were all doing."
As he talked to the others, all Sora could do was stare into the crystal stone. It was smooth, not an imperfection on the circular gem's surface. Tai watched as she gazed into the stone, her sparkling eyes were magnified by the reflection of the gem. Tai wasn't sure if these 'new powers' were such a good thing. If they could cripple Sora in that much pain, what would the others be like?
