Chapter Eight
Disclaimer: Same as before- I don't own anything
That night passed by like any other. And the sun peered up on the horizon. A clatter came from the down stairs area. Here Davis lead an expedition of digimon in search of food in the pantry. While Joe stocked up on medical supplies from the abundance he found. Izzy, Cody and Ken were already analyzing their appointed route to the center of the black power source. Gennai had assured them that by the time they would get to the source of the evil, the digi destined would hold the 'key' to defeat the evil once and for all. Everyone was awake, and preparing for their long journey, except Tai and Sora. Tai finally opened his eyes and stretched. He was beaming with joy from the memories of the last night. He got out of his bed and quickly dressed. He then walked over to Sora's bed. Tai just watched her, and thought. 'She was everything he wanted.' She was beautiful, her figure was unmatchable to Tai, but even better than her looks, was herself. Who she was, was the most important thing to him. From the downstairs area came a loud crash- Davis and Veemon were running around creating quite a ruckus. The noise had finally woken Sora up.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." He beamed. "How'd you sleep?"
She sighed as she sat up. She felt refreshed. She leaned over and quickly gave Tai a peck on the lips as she jumped out of bed.
"That's all I get?" He complained.
"Well, what do you think you deserve?"
"A little more than that." He put his arms around her slender waist and began kissing her neck and face. He breathed in her scent. It was intoxicating, she always smelt like fresh flowers. And Tai enjoyed every minute of that smell.
"Whatcha doing?" A giggling voice said. Tai turned and looked. It was his little sister Kari standing near the doorway.
"None of your business." He said as he stuck his tongue out at her. She giggled even more. Sora smiled as she pulled his face back to her's and kissed him.
"I gotta go get dressed now, ok." She said as she pulled away from him and walked towards the door. She gave Kari a hug and went into the bathroom.
"I see someone's been busy." Kari winked and took off running. Tai began to run after her.
"I'm going to get you." He yelled in a playful tone. He caught her halfway down the stairs. He picked her up and swung her on his shoulder, they continued down the stairs laughing. TK came to see what the commotion was; it was the two siblings playing. Tai was now tickling Kari's feet.
"Help, TK.," she laughed. 'Help, help."
"Sure, I'll save you!" TK rushed in to join the fun. He jumped on Tai's back at the bottom of the stairs. Davis, sick of looking for food, heard the laughing and came in to join the dog pile of laughing people.
The weight of the third person sent Tai to the ground. "OK, I guess you guys win." He said as he tried to move from below the three. Matt walked in and saw the mess they were in and all he could do was chuckle.
"Ahhh.. It looks like I missed some fun here or something." Sora said, as she emerged at the top of the stair well. "Leave it to Gennai to not have a decent change of cloths." she was looking down at what she was wearing. It was a white sundress that went to her knees. It was a little big on her, so she tied her belt around her waist to make it fit better. Tai was in awe, as he stumbled from the bottom of the pile to stand up. She looked great, he thought.
"Oh well, I guess it'll do." She said as she glided down the stairs. Tai and Matt were speechless. She absolutely glowed Tai thought. And around her neck she had cleverly fastened the stone Gennai gave her yesterday, into a necklace. "So what's for breakfast?" She looked at Matt and Tai for an answer.
"I made some pancakes, special recipe!" Matt told her as he ushered her into the kitchen and gave her a plate with three golden brown pancakes on it. She wasted no time and dug right into them. "Need Syrup?" Matt questioned.
"Nope, I'm fine. These are good."
Tai came into the kitchen and sat down beside her. Matt flung a plate of pancakes at him. "Eat up!"
Izzy came into the room. "Ah, I see they finally are up. Now we can discuss strategy."
"Ok. What's the plan?" Tai asked in between mouthfuls of pancakes.
"Well Gennai didn't leave too many answers, just the usual riddles." Izzy replied. "We just go there and defeat what ever it is." He didn't sound to happy with the lack of details.
"Sounds so simple." Sora said. "But, it's not going to be. First we need to gain access to the structure at the center of the power surge." She pointed to an area on the map Izzy had. "Then they will try and separate us in a dark maze-like structure, and use mind games to slow us down…" Everyone was silent as Sora explained what would be in store for them.
"Did you talk to Gennai since last night?" Izzy requested, "Because how did you know about all that stuff? He just emailed me that set of information three minutes ago."
"No," she said confused. "I just for some reason knew all that stuff, and I can see other things. I don't know…" She looked at Tai for answers. But he was just as stunned as she was. She put her head in her hands. "All this is happening to fast." She wept. "Tai, I'm not strong enough to handle this. Gennai should have given them to you.." Tai quickly put his arm on her back, for support.
"Hey come on, yes you are. Remember he said you were meant to be this way." Tai reassured her.
"What way?" Matt asked. He and Izzy were completely puzzled as to the reason Sora seemed so upset.
"Tai can you enlighten us on this rather perplexing development." Izzy asked.
"When Gennai healed us, Sora was in bad shape. He said something about using digital data and something else to help her body heal. But it seems that what ever they used, has been having like a side effect cause her to change.."
"Change? Who?" Mimi questioned as she walked into the tense room. "Why is Sora crying? Geesh you guys can be real jerks sometimes. Leave her alone." Mimi took Tai's hand off Sora's back and led her outside. "Come on Sora, let's get some fresh air."
Tai continued. "Gennai didn't say much, but he said she was becoming more powerful."
"Prodigious." Izzy commented.
"No not good. Look what it's doing to her." Matt said as he stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"Hey, the Key." Izzy spoke up. "What if Sora's new found powers are the key Gennai was talking about?"
"What?" Tai asked, "What is this about a key?" Izzy then informed his friend of what Gennai had told him.
