*Heaven* Chapter 2
Tai stared at Matt with wide eyes. How was he supposed to save her? Sora wasn't under grave peril from an attacking Digimon. This was not like the other times when Tai could just use his athletic skills and agility to rescue her. There was not angry monster or deadly attacks coming everywhere that you could hardly escape. Tai could handle that and he was sure that he would pick that life or death matter of saving Sora than this very emotional way. Tai didn't have a clue what he needed to do this time.

"How?!"

Matt just looked back at him with the same look of disbelief. This was definitely not how Matt though this was going to work out.

"If you don't know, Tai, I don't know." And with that Matt sprawled back into the cushions of his chair. Davis suddenly turned to his mentor with meaningful eyes.

"Matt's right you know, Tai. We've all tried to talk her into coming out, but none of us have been very successful. But you haven't talked to her yet, and it seems to me that even you talking isn't gonna get her out. I guess." Davis stopped and squinted his eyes and scratched his head in deep thought. "You need to talk to her in a different way. You know, without using your voice. You could." Davis began to think again, but it wasn't working this time.

"You could." he repeated

"Write her something." Answered Joe. Good ol' reliable Joe found a solution again.

"Yeah, that's perfect!" replied Kari. "I see you writing in that journal of yours all the time, Tai. And you've tried writing to Sora before, and that sort of worked. I mean, your still friends now, aren't you. And you guys were in a fight to then. I still can't believe you said those things! No wonder she got so,"

"Okay! I understand, Kari! Thanks for making me relive that again! God."

"Hey! What happened! Why were you fighting?" Questioned Yolei.

"Omigawd! It was terrible! My brother is so immature. He gave her this hair clip for her birthday." but Kari suddenly stopped her rampage when she felt somebody nudging her with their elbow. She turned and came face to face with TK. He shook his head and looked her strait in the eye.

"Ummm. I'm just guessing, but I don't think that Tai wants you to share that with everybody, okay?"

Kari turned her head again to look at her brother. He was holding his head and staring blankly at the ground. She felt so bad for him as she looked at his sad face. Kari knew that Tai usually never looks like that, him being such a high-spirited person, and now she felt bad for not sympathizing with her older brother as much as she should be. She turned back to TK and looked sadly at him. He mirrored the same expression. At least she had somebody to help her through this, Tai had nobody.

"Okay."

'It's now up to me to bring Sora back from the shadow that has swallowed her. I think that I know what I have to do to get to her, but I don't know how she's going to react. And that's what scares me the most. She is so important to me, more than life, and I would do anything to get her back. But I was hoping I wouldn't have to reveal this. Why does this have to be so hard?'

Tai stood up from his seated position across from Sora's bedroom door. He stared at it for a long time like he could make it disappear. Or maybe he is he was lucky, she would just open the door and the Digidestined could help her together. But Tai knew that that wasn't going to happen. He knew Sora to well to know that she would never do that when she felt the way she did. So it seems that Tai gad no choice.

Matt quietly walked up to his friend and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"You know what you're going to do?" Tai looked at Matt quickly and then back at the door. And with a sigh, he answered.

"Yeah."

Tai contemplated it for one more second before ripping a page out of his journal. He took a nervous gulp, and with shaky hands, slid the parchment underneath her door. He stood back up and hoped that this would work. For once, Tai didn't have a back up plan.

A dim light of the bedside lamp filtered its way throughout the small bedroom. It's light so soft that with gentle hands Sora swore she could feel it dancing upon her hand. She gazed sadly at her had as she had it imitate the graceful movements of caress and longing for happiness. But her hand couldn't find its way to that paradise. She was taken away from her trance when she heard a sound come from her door. As she looked towards it, she noticed a small piece of paper that hadn't been there before. As she walked slowly to the door, she felt Tai's presence again and knew he was outside. 'Did he do this?' she wondered. She picked up the paper and she saw a poem written in Tai's handwriting on it. Her mind was filled with questions that she didn't understand. But the only way that she could think of answering them was to read whatever he had written to her.

'I wake up something more than what I'm supposed to be

Something more than I have meant to show

How was I supposed to know that I've wanted, and I've waited?

And I can be the one to show you that life's not simple enough.

And I can be the one to tell you I've held this back for too long.

And my heartaches. These feelings I've held inside for you

And my heart aches. How can I stop the pain?'

Sora stared at the poem and read it over and over again. Sora didn't know what to do. But them she looked at the bottom of the page and saw something else written.

Will I be the one that you open your heart to? Tai

Sora knew that she couldn't wait forever in her room, all alone. She was going to have to open up to somebody. And she loved and trusted him more that any other. There was only one thing she needed to do.

****

Tai knew that she was reading it now. He needed for this to work. He couldn't wait any longer to see Sora again, and he wanted her to be happy again. He looked nervously at the door, waiting for some time of answer. But nothing came. He began to walk away, thinking that he had failed, and let all of the Digidestined down, when he heard the soft click of the lock. The door slowly opened for him, and he went inside.

Wow, I've finally finished the chapter, and it's not even that long. But trying to find the right poem/song for this took a long time. The song is "Broken Sound" by New Found Glory. Oh yeah, I don't think I ever did a disclaimer for this, so here it is. I do not own any of the characters or the song in this story. But I really wish I did. Please R&R!! Third and final chapter will be up soon! Thanks! ~dorkiss
