I don't own digimon I do wish Lord Archive did though his (I think) stores
kick major ass.
Chapter 8.
'There is something wrong with this fog' was the first thing he thought, for one thing it was almost noon and there shouldn't even be fog, for another it was far too thick to be natural.
"Sora!" he yelled to no avail, his digivice gave only static and he couldn't send for help, no Agumon and no Sora 'things just keep getting better and better don't they?' and that is when he heard it, a voice and not just any voice. Mat's voice.
"I've won Tai! You hear me? I've won! I've got her now and you never will! You took control when it should have been mine, you've all but taken my brother from me but in the end I won! You hear me? I won because I got the love of your life and she doesn't give a damn about you! How do you like that Tai? Huh? How do you? How do you like being the looser for once?
"And you want to know what the best part is? I don't even love her! I'm just using her to prove once and for all I'm better then you! Sure I lust after her, with a body like that who wouldn't but I don't love her, but she loves me. ME Tai, not you, *me* and I owe it all to you and that yellow streak you try so hard to hide, thanks man I enjoy being on the winning side once, c-ya!"
And with that the voice was gone, all Tai could hear was his own ragged breathing. 'That wasn't Mat' he kept repeating to himself saying over and over how his best friend wouldn't do that to him, or to her, but it seemed the more he tried to tell himself it couldn't be, the more he seem to be convinced it was. And that was when a new voice reached his ears.
"She's lost to you Tai, she has made her choice. The only way you could get her back is to prove what kind of man Mat is, ether that or take her, for she owes you her life, doesn't she Tai?" This voice said, it was distinctly feminine, a sultry alto. "You could take her, she is yours by right after all, shouldn't you get something out of your investment?"
The fog cleared slightly, and he could make out the silhouette of a girl about his age, she strode towards him and his eyes went wide and his breath caught in his throat, she was beautiful. Long red hair shimmering in the distorted light of the fog, seeming almost alive as it moved around her face and her eyes, 'oh god her eyes!', they where an arresting shade of green that seemed to root him to the spot he stood and pierce his very soul, he stood there gaping at her for what felt like an eternity before she broke the silence once again.
"That is of coarse unless you see something you'd prefer." This was spoken with a cute little smile that looked like heaven itself but promised nothing but sin. She turned and strode back into the fog but before she faded completely from sight once more, he could make out what looked like a *pink* Agumon at her side and as she faded away completely her voice almost seemed to flout to him. "Her or me Tai, you can have one or the other, make your decision. She is yours for the taking if for no other reason then the debt she owes you. I will wait. Will you stay loyal to her even after she has broken your heart and gone to another? Or will you come to me? I will never leave you Tai, never." and then the fog was gone and she was nowhere to be seen leaving a very confused Tai staring where she last was.

Less then a foot away, but seemingly in a whole other world Sora was going through her own little visitation, like Kari before her when she had been lost in the world of the dark ocean the first one she called for was Tai, it was instinctive, something she had done for as long as she could remember. He had always been then for her, her savior, her champion and now once again she called his name. Only this time someone answered and it wasn't Tai, oh no she wasn't that lucky, no the voice that came back to her was non other then the other man in her life. It was Mat's.
"Tai? Tai! Your out here all alone and you call for him! Why Sora? I'm your boyfriend, I'm the one who is supposed to take care of you, the one your supposed to turn too and you call for him? Is your best friend able to take better care of you then I am? Or do you love him? That's it isn't it? Your just using me to make him jealous aren't you? Well the jokes on you, you little bitch! I offered to brake up with you! That's right I told him our friendship wasn't worth loosing over this and he sad no! that he was ok with it! I hope you have a nice life Sora, and you might just be able to get something from him if you beg but I'm out of here!"
She stood there dumfounded for a moment thinking how Mat could have said those things, hell Tai was her partner so shouldn't she logically call out for him? But then something else that he had said came crashing down on her, not his leaving no that she could handle. They had had fights before and would be able to make up once he cooled down some. The fact that he had offered to brake up with her to Tai just to keep his friendship hurt but for some reason she didn't know which hurt more. The fact that Tai didn't jump at the chance, or that Tai mente more to Mat then she did.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the fog clearing.
