Ch11.-'Just when things are perfect, something bad happens.'

Disclaimer: Don't own Digimon. ^_^

Thanks: To all who reviewed!

Dedicated: To the concussion I got when I was younger, white water rafting, and hiking. With out them I would have no inspiration for this chapter.

An older boy sat on the steps outside his apartment, waiting for his ride to arrive. He wore beige khaki's and a white shirt with a navy blue vest over it. Lying next to him was a black duffel bag and strap to his shoulders was a backpack with a red cross on it. The screen zooms in to the teen's face allowing you to see the blue eyes behind his glasses. The words 'Joe Kido' appear in a neat font under his chin, only to disappear again moment's later. (A/n YAY!!!! Joe!! ^_^)

A blue convertible pulled to a stop in front of Joe's house. "Hey Joe!! Jump in! We got to get going!" Tai yelled to his blue haired friend. Joe got up and slung his duffel over his shoulder.

"Coming, but one minute, let me get Jim." He answered, stepping in the door and yelling for his older brother. Then he ran to the car.

"Why do you need Jim to come out, Joe?" Tk asked as Joe opened the door in the back with them.

"Well someone has to drive Tai's car back home. You can't just leave his brand new convertible out on the side of the road."

"Good thinking Joe." Tai said, sliding onto the passengers seat. Joe got into the back with Kari and Tk. Jim ran out of the house and to the car, hopping into the drivers seat. "And we're off to the digital world!" Jim shouted and stepped onto the accelerator heading towards the portal.

-Meanwhile, at the bottom of Mountmon's Mountain-

Mimi and Izzy were slowly making there way up the mountain. They found a path leading to the first plateau, so for now ascending up the mountain would be easy. Mimi hummed a song as she walked and Izzy looked at scenery, smiling when Mimi hummed a really high note.

"This isn't to bad Izzy."

"Nope not at all-" He turned to look at Mimi. She wasn't there. "Mimi?" He asked looking around, nervously. He heard her scream coming from his left. Before he could turn something wrapped around his leg and yanked him off his feet. He sat up to see the huge vine wrapped around his ankle. He reached out to grab the vine and all of a sudden he was flying across the ground, being pulled by his leg. He yet out a yell as he flew back and his head hit a root. Izzy blacked out.

-Meanwhile, in another area of the digital world-

Sora sat up and yawning, feeling refreshed. Two hot bowls of soup sat next to her on the nightstand. She grabbed one and hungrily ate the whole thing with in minutes. Feeling even better she cautiously began climbing out of bed. No signs of dizziness or weakness appeared so Sora smiled and walked to her bag of clothes. After pulling out her outfit, she walked into the bathroom, surprised to find a shower. She put her clothes down on the counter and got her bag fill of shower supplies. She took a shower and got dressed in new clothes. The shower was small, so she had to duck while taking it, but the water was nice and hot, and she was glad to finally be clean. She brushed her hair watching Yamato sleep and sighed dreamily to herself. The day was going well. After deciding he wouldn't wake for a while, she thought of going off to find the Digimon who had helped them so much. She wanted to thank him in some way. She decided maybe she could help him in the kitchen to show her appreciation. Hopefully Matt will sleep a little longer... he'll feel better then.

Matt heard footsteps heading towards the door. He tried to open his eye's or call out to the person but found he couldn't he was still too weak. How did Sora manage to eat after only to hours of sleep? He wondered drowsily.

"I'll be back when you wake up." Sora promised to the person she believed was sleeping. "Sleep tight Yama-kun." She whispered, as she opened the door and left the room. The blond haired boy smiled and rolled over, drifting into a dreamless sleep.

-At a portal just outside of Odaiba-

"You mean when I come home there won't be any dents, scratches, broken windows,-"

"First off, it's a topless convertible… There's only one window." Jim interrupted.

"More the reason not to break it." Jim sighed at Tai's response. Tai smiled a goofy smile at him.

"Look Tai, for the third time, I promise to take care of your car." An aggravated Jim repeated his promise to Tai. "Now get through that portal, all of you before it closes." He demanded and all the kids emptied out of the car.

"Bye Jim!" They chorused with an addition from Tai of "Take care of my car!"

"Take care of yourselves!" Jim retorted back. "Good luck, come home soon!"

"We will." They said in unison and all of them quickly jumped into the portal.

-Meanwhile, at the bottom of Mountmon's Mountain-

Izzy woke to a splitting headache. He was still tied up with the vines, which seemed to have grown since he last saw them; they were up to his waist and wrapped around both his legs. He sat up slowly leaning against a tree that he had been laying next to. At that moment he realized Mimi was sprawled out next to him, wrapped in vines as well. He leaned over and began shaking her awake.

"Mimi, Mimi, wake up." He whispered. Slowly the girl rolled over.

"Daddy, I can't go to school today my head hurts." She mumbled

"Mimi!" Mimi opened her eyes.

"Oh, hi Izzy, what are we doing here. Where are we anyway? Aren't we suppose to be on some path? And WHY am I TIED UP?" Mimi got a little louder with each sentence.

"Shh.. Who ever's done this might hear us." Izzy whispered his eyes filled with concerned.

"I think the creatures are awaking, sir. What should we do?" An unknown voice asked from near by, but cloaked in the forest's darkness.

"We can not have the Mountmon spies live after they've tread this path… The vile leader must not know we've come back to live in our homes in the mountain. If he did..." The gruff voice of the commander paused, not even wanting to think of what would happen to him and his fellow Digimon friends. He stayed lost in thought of what to do with the newcomers, for a moment before he responded.

"Kill them."

-Meanwhile, in another area of the digital world-

Matt had wakened up feeling rejuvenated. Sora helped him eat his soup, but before long he ate by himself. He even had enough strength to walk around. He took a shower and got cleaned up while Sora went back and helped their Digimon friend in the kitchen. The Digitamamon even taught Sora how to cook a few great dishes with some of the fruit that grew almost everywhere. After a lunch which, Digitamamon, Sora, and Matt all had together, Sora and Matt decide they should be going. They thanked the Digimon for his kind hospitality and started to take their leave.

"Wait!" The Digimon yelled after them. "Take my raft with you, it will be faster if you ride the river upstream." So Sora and Matt went back and piled themselves and their stuff into the digimon's raft. They thanked him again and left, waving goodbye to their new friend.

At first the river was smooth. Matt pulled his harmonica out and began playing a song to easy his nerves. Sora hummed along with it watching the water in the back. The gentle breeze felt good blowing through her hair. It was a beautiful and everything seemed to be going well for them. Nothing could spoil this day. Matt thought to himself as he sat watching Sora, a girl that he loved and he knew loved him back, at the back of the boat. He finished his song and put his harmonica into his pocket.

"Sora?" He asked and she turned around, so she stood facing him. A smile danced on her lips and she had a look of question in her eyes.

"I heard you before, when you called me Yama-kun." Sora looked surprised then blushed and looked down. "You did call me Yama-kun right?" He asked making sure he wasn't just dreaming, because he couldn't really tell by her expression.

Lie Sora… You don't want to ruin your friendship. A little voice said in the back of her head. I can't, I won't hide this from him any more. And I won't cry if he tell's me he doesn't feel the same way. She looked back up at him meeting his eyes with her own. She nodded unable to answer him.

"I knew I heard you right…" Sora blushed and looked down waiting to hear Yamato tell her he only liked her as a friend just like his crest. "And so I guess I should tell you that I feel the same type of thing for you, Sora-chan." She looked at him straight in the face to make sure he wasn't lying. "And that I've felt this way for you since we came here." She beamed at him.

"Me too." She answered happily. This is wonderful!

Just then the boat hit it's first rapid and Sora went flying out of the big yellow plastic raft. She landed in the water. The water in the rapid barreled her through the water and smashed her arm into a rock.

"SORA!! KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE THE WATER!!!" Sora heard Matt yell as she struggled to swim with one arm. Matt stood on the edge of the raft getting ready to jump in to save her. The boat hit a new set of rapids and Matt fell back into the boat. He shook his head trying to unjumble his thoughts from the blow he received from the boats bottom. Save Sora.. He grabbed the lifesaver that he landed next to and jumped up. But she didn't appear or answer him as he looked out over the water and screamed her name. Sora had disappeared.

-Back to the newest arrivals-

Tai opened his eyes to find himself squished under two teenagers; one, his sister Kari and the other his very likely to be brother-in-law, Tk. They both smiled at him.

"Gee Tai, that was awful nice of you to catch me and Tk." Kari said smiling at her older brother.

"Yeah." Tk agreed with her, both of them climbing off of Tai.

"Don't mention it, a hand each to help me get up would be appreciated though." Tai responded as both reached down and grabbed one of his hands and pulled him up.

"Hey anyone seen Joe?" Tk asked looking around. At the same time they all spotted Joe his face against a tree and a red skinned fruit on his head.

"Poor Joe." Kari said pulling the fruit off of his head. They all moved Joe away from the tree. Tai pulled a tissue out of his pocket and began to whip what appeared to be juice from the fruit of Joe's forehead.

"Um.. This stuff isn't coming off." Tai said as some of the juice got on his hand. Joe chose a moment to wake up. Tai put down his tissue.

"Oh hi Tai. Tai look you've cut your finger." he reached into his pocket and whipped the 'juice' off Tai's hand. Joe whipped the blood off Tai and frowned not seeing a cut on Tai's hand.

"Why Tai this isn't your blood…" Joe concluded. Just then he felt a splitting pain coming from his forehead and he realized how everything was spinning and looked very distorted. He touched his head, where the pain came from; it was wet. He pulled his hand back and saw the blood all over his hand. This isn't Tai's blood, it's mine… it's mine. "It's mine." He echoed out loud. He was very sleepy all of a sudden. The Tai's abnormally small head begin to fade from his view. An unusually thin tree began to fade too. The huge stalks of grass right in front of his face started disappearing into the darkness. "Tai? Where is everything going?" He asked as he blacked out completely.

HAHA! 3 Cliffhangers!!! I know I'm sorry but everything will work out in the end I promise! Please Review!!
