All righty, I've got Tai leaving off on his own, a missing Travis and Patamon... a KOed Serpentmon, and a knocked on his ass by Joe, Michael. Guess I need to either get back to what I've started or jump into Sora and Mat's heads... Guess I could do some of both. I think Sora and Mat are the only ones I haven't hit on in a while at any rate... I could be wrong.

I still don't own Digimon nor do I own any tapes or the movie or the sound track or any of the toys... (walks off ranting about what he doesn't own involving digimon.)

Chapter 6.

Sora watched with an odd detachment to everything that was happening around her. She new she was in a state of shock, the words that Travis had said to both her and Kari had stuck a cord in the young red-head as did the words he had spoken about Tai and to Mat and Davis.

That little voice in her head that had appeared during her time with Tai was bubbling over in glee as it kept saying "I told you so!" over and over again like a mantra, and she couldn't get the thing to shut up!

But worst of all, she had come to realize it was right. It had told her so and she had ignored it. Tai loved her... Tai *loved* her and as more the just a friend! She didn't know weather to laugh or cry at the realization.

She had finality figured it out after all this time because of Kari. How sad was that? The barer of the crest of love needed someone else to put the pieces together for her to do the same. And she had been given more to go on by Travis then Kari had. Only she couldn't run to Tai like Kari had done for TK.

She had made a commitment to Mat. And she was happy... wasn't she?

*******

Mat felt as if he had been sucker-punched. Travis words bounced around in his head, accusation after accusation kept reverberating with in the depths of his mind. He tried to deny them, blank them out or demand that for once in his life didn't *he* deserve a little happiness?

But the arguments sounded hallow even to himself. He had just seen every other time he had ever abused his friendship with Tai and the first thing he did was hold the girl he knew... he *knew*! Tai had a thing for, right in front of him and he had clung to her like his life depended on it. He was a bastard, a bastard who didn't deserve to have friends. But still he clung to Sora. He clung to her as he watched the other holder of friendship let Kari go to his little brother, and his grip tightened as he waited for the other shoe to drop, for Sora to leave him like everyone else had. To leave *him* and go to Tai.

But she didn't.

Instead she curled up tighter into him and sobbed against his chest. He was elated, she wasn't going to leave him, at long last he had finally bested Tai in something. Sora had chosen him over Tai and the almost overwhelming pride that hit him almost made him retch right then and there.

When had he gotten so cold?

When had he become his father?

And why in hell was he damning both himself and Sora to his parents relationship?

He didn't know, he couldn't stop, and, the worst part was, he really didn't care. That scared him, that fact scared him more then all the evil digimon combined ever could have. And that was when he saw her.

Biyomon. The small pink bird looked as if it was crying as it ran towards them, before hugging Sora's leg and whiling at the top of her lounges that 'they' were gone.

*******

Michael sat there looking into Mimi's stunned eyes and he realized that she was just as stocked as he was that Joe could have done that too him. But the shock soon receded as anger took its place. It wasn't enough for this boy to have taken Mimi's heart but now he had to fallow him, attack his pride, and then make a fool out of him right in front of her!

He of coarse glossed over the fact that he had supposedly stopped caring about her only moments before, and reached to the bed of stone that he and landed close too. A lone thin oddly shaped stone seemed to call to him and the azure glow that surrounded him as he touched it and drew forth the Blade of Honor told him all he needed to know.

*******

Gatomon ran as fast as she could towards Kari's presence, her movements seemed to be jerky enough to wake the small digimon in her paws as he rode in a bed made from a black fedora and a Gillagen style sea hat. She only became aware of his coherence as he spoke right as she burst into the clearing were the angles of Hope and Light were holding each other.

"I'm ssssorry Gatomon... had we... had I... known who you were we never would have attacked like that..." the small green serpent crocked out. Gatomon looked down in surprise before asking the question that had immediately formed in her mind.

"How did you..."

"...Know that it was you?" The rookie asked. At her nod of assent he startled her with his simple answer. "Who else's eyes could hold so much pain?" and with that he slipped once more into the blissful land of Nod.
