CHAPTER 2
A/N: Ok- I hope you are enjoying the story- I went a bit over board with the fluff there… but I can't help it I go into these weird mood swings and stuff. I'm usually not that hooked on fluff…my friend calls me a closet romantic- maybe if fits. Oh well. I'm feeling antisocial right now, and I decided to just type another chapter…
--Harmony Interrupted--

The day went by fast. Tai had everything prepared: snacks made and set out, the house in order and neatly arranged. Everything was ready.
Tai was about to get the drinks out of the fridge when he heard a muffled cry from the living room. Like before he rushed to his wife's side. He gently shook her awake.
"Sora- Sor- Baby- Open your eyes." He pleaded. "Come on… that's my girl." He smiled as he saw her crimson orbs open.
"Oh God Taichi… not again…" She whimpered as he held her close.
Tai was so wrapped up in comforting Sora that he didn't hear the doorbell ring or half the group walking into the house.
"Tai?" Kari's voice called into the familiar residence. Behind her followed TK, Izzy, Ken, Yolei and Matt. They walked into the living room and found Tai rocking a distraught Sora.
"What happened?" Yolei asked as she and the rest rushed over to them.
Tai realized that their guests had arrived. He smiled up at his little sister and the worried faces they all had.
"She's fine. Sora's just been having some bad dreams as of late. Everything is pilling up." He smoothed her hair once she had calmed down. Sora wiped away the tears from her eyes and tried to assure everyone she was fine.
"It's nothing…really." She lied.
"You know it's not and tomorrow we're going to talk about it ok?" Tai used a stern voice. Sora nodded.
Just then the doorbell rang again and the rest of the group entered, including one pink haired girl.
"SORA!" Mimi squealed as she ran to hug her friend. "Don't you look SO adorable! When are you due?" Mimi was rattling off questions. "What's wrong sweetie? You look like you were crying- is Taichi being a jerk? Really Taichi!"
"No, Mimi. Everything is fine. Tai's been nothing but wonderful to me…"
"Alright- you're off the hook mister." Mimi said pointing to Tai. The guys walked into the kitchen as the girls began the usual girl talk.
"So Tai, how's married life?" Matt asked.
"It's been great! Except for the nightmares Sora's been having. They can't be to healthy on the baby." He said as Joe agreed.
"Why is the eternal bachelor Yamato Ishada actually thinking of settling down?" "'Na. Just wondering."
"Ya right- you're been getting pretty cozy with that one girl… what was her name… Kayla?" Matt blushed at the comment from Tai.
"See? And how about you Joe? Are you and Mimi an official couple yet?" Tai smirked. Joe was now blushing as well. Tai just laughed. "Come on guys love is a great thing- I'm not the least bit modest or ashamed to say I love Sora… oh and that reminds me… TK. We need to have a little private talk- I've been hearing rumors you're dating my little sister." Tai said looking over at the youth. TK swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Sure thing Tai…" TK said a little nervous to confront Tai about his relationship with Kari.
-
The night continued uneventful. Soon everyone was sitting around the living room television watching a movie. Sora snuggled close to Tai. Ken and Yolei, Joe and Mimi were also in a similar position. TK was a little scared to get too close to Kari. She understood why he felt nervous- but pulled him closer. Tai shot a look over at TK, but Sora quickly took his attention off the two by kissing his neck. He instantly turned his attention back to her.
"Get a room!" Matt laughed seeing the make out session between Sora and Tai. Everyone laughed at the look Tai gave Matt for interrupting them.
"Sorry, but I can't help it." Tai said. "I'm so totally in love."
Sora hugged him tight and yawned.
"Are you tried baby?" He asked her. "It would be better if you were in bed- you could be more comfortable." Sora nodded sleepily as Tai picked her up. "Keep the movie going. I'll be right back." He said to the group after they finished their 'goodnights' with Sora.
Tai helped Sora into a white silk nightgown and tucked her into their bed.
"Goodnight love." He smiled down on her as she closed her eyes.
"Night Taichi." She sighed. "I love you."
"I love you too." He whispered to her as she fell asleep quickly.
Tai stayed and watched his angel for a time- marveling in her beauty. He sighed a happy sigh and slowly left the room after a kiss.
He sat back down on the couch and continued to watch the movie.
"So Tai about these dreams Sora's been having- has she told you anything new about them?" Izzy inquired.
"No, not really. I hate it when she keeps things to herself. I want to help, but she's stubborn at times." Tai replied.
"I'm sure everything's alright. She seems fine." Kari reassured him.
The all agreed and went back to watching the horror lick that was on. Tai was glad Sora had went to bed- this movie was actually scary and she wouldn't have liked it. Almost as if called Tai's head shot up and looked in the direction of the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked seeing his friend's concerned look.
"I thought I heard something."
"It's probably the movie- don't tell me that great Taichi Kamiya is scared." Matt mocked. Tai wasn't listening, however. He stood up and waked to the bedroom door.
What he saw when he got inside scared him.
A darkened figure held Sora's frame in his arms.
The figure froze as it saw Taichi.
"Put her down NOW!" Tai commanded as he ran over to the window trying to stop the figure from escaping.
The others came running into the room as the figure crashed through the window and off the balcony. Tai was about to jump after it- but was held back by Matt and Davis.
"Let me GO! SORA! I need to help her! SORA!"
"Tai calm down. He's too far away- we can't catch up!" Davis tried to reason with him.
"No! Sora!" Tai wailed.
"Tai, guys look." Ken said as he pointed to the wooden headboard of the bed. A piece of paper was pinned to it by a knife. Tai rushed to the bed and ripped the knife out of the board.
Tai became a ghostly shade of white as he read the words the note contained. He froze… Sora… she was gone and he had no clue where or with whom she was…
"Tai? W…what does it say?" TK asked.
Tai was going into a catatonic state. Izzy took the note from his hands without Tai reacting at all.
"The catalyst?" Izzy said in shock as he read the note. Showing everyone else the simple four word note they were silenced.
"DEATH TO THE CATALYST" It simply read.
"But who would know that Sora and the catalyst merged?" Yolei asked.
"Sora's not the catalyst anymore." Tai said as he came out of his trance like state.
"What? If Sora isn't, then why would they want her?" Ken asked.
"The baby?" Izzy asked.
Tai nodded sadly. "The catalyst was passed on within our child. Oh God they're going to kill them… my baby… my Sora." Tai fell to the ground and began to shake.
Kari went and comforted her brother.
"How… how could anyone know about this? Why? Why would they want to hurt my Sora… she's never done anything to anyone…" Tai cried.
Somehow the group got Tai to calm down. While the others conversed about the situation Tai shut himself up in their bedroom- clinging to the sheets of the bed.
"Who could do this? Matt asked.
"Some kind of cult?" Joe mentioned. "I mean, lots of people do know about the digital world, especially after the fight with Omnimon and then the dark spore incidents…"
"And I'm sure someone could have easily found out about the prophecy and Sora…" Izzy added.
"But why kidnap her? They must have been desperate to get her because they took her when we were all here. That was extremely risky." Ken questioned.
"I agree. It was risky." Mimi said trying to keep herself from shaking. She was horrified for her missing friend. "Plus the fact that Sora's due any day now."
"We need to find her before she goes into labor." Joe added.
"Do we go to the police?" Kari asked. "I mean that couldn't have been a human- it was too fast."
"So it had to be a digimon then- but what digimon? And how did it get over here?" Cody spoke up.
"Hey- there was a digimon cult that formed shortly after the defeat of malomyotismon…" Izzy commented. "I heard of it one day while surfing the net. They worshiped the darkness he tried to bring forth or something. The people believed they could revive him and his evil powers…. Hey… could the catalyst do that? I mean think of the massive powers it gave to Sora… think of what it could do if it was forced onto something evil…"
No one answered. It was completely silent in the room until Tai threes the door open.
"I have got to save her," he said as he grabbed his coat and put on his shoes.
"Tai- where are you going?" Kari asked worriedly.
"To get my wife back." He said.
"But you don't know where she is." Ken pointed out.
"But I do…"

I'm usually not that hooked on fluff…my friend calls me a closet romantic- maybe if fits. Oh well. I'm feeling antisocial right now, and I decided to just type another chapter…
