Chap. 3

Welcome to chapter 3! I'm really sorry chapter 2 was so short -_- it was not my plan to make it that way, oh well you live, you learn, yadda yadda, hopefully this one is longer, cause I usually have big markers indicating where a chappy ends and I don't see one for at least 4 pages (hand written.yes I'm a dork I wrote this story on paper first.that might be why it's getting updated faster than my others.hm.ponder ponder) by the by I went back and put in chapter names.hope you like them ^-^

After being to Tai's game (which he won of course.or his team one anyway.) and the digi-world everyone was tired so they all decided to go straight home. (yeah yeah not eventful I know)

"hey kari, I'll walk a home if you want" offered T.K. Kari excepted and the two headed to Kari and Tai's house. While Davis awas very upset Cody and Yolie made sure he didn't follow them. Sora, Tai, and Matt were laughing at them. "Aw, little Kari and T.K. are growing up. Ya know you two could become in-laws," teased Sora.

Unfortunately Tai and Matt didn't find this as funny and stopped laughing. So they finally all said goodnight and headed home themselves.

Sora and Tai walked all the way to Sora's house taking about Tai's game and soccer in general. Finally, to Tai's disappointment, they reached Sora's house. "Well, great game, Tai. I'll see you tomorrow!" she waved before going inside.

Tai watched her go and kicked himself mentally afterwards. He sighed as he put his hands in his pockets and started walking home. 'Why do I feel so weird about Sora? She's my best friend, best friends aren't supposed to feel this way.right?' He sighed again as he opened his front door and took off his shoes.

"Have fun with your girlfriend?" Kari teased as he came in. Tai rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"She's not my girlfriend and you know it, anyway what about T.K" he asked as he walked past her to their room. He smirked when she didn't answer, "that's what I thought."

~A couple of weeks later~

Sora and Tai had just finished practice and Tai was waiting for her outside the locker rooms.

Sora sighed as she changed back into her school uniform. She loved being on the team and hanging out with Tai but this boy thing was starting to become a pain and she had almost been caught going into the girls locker room twice. She knew she had to tell the coach sometime, her conscience (is that spelled right?) was getting the better of her.

"Hey Sora, you'll never guess who we're playing next Sat." Tai said excitedly as she came out.

Sora nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw him, "TAI!!!" she screamed, "you almost gave me a heart attack don't do that!"

"Sorry," Tai sweatdropped as they began the walk home.

"Well, who are we playing" asked Sora.

"What?" Tai looked confused for a second, "..oh yeah! I still haven't told you who we're play'n have I?"

Sora fell over anime-style. 'He may be cute but he's as sharp as a marble' she thought as she shook her head, '.wait, did I just say Tai was cute?!?' she was cut off by Tai who was so VERY excited about whoever they were going to play.

"Sooooora..didn't you hear me??" Tai asked as he waved a hand in front of her face.

"Sorry, Tai, now who are we playing" she said, blushing about what she had just thought.

Tai grinned, "We're playing the evil Digimon Emperor himself."

"You're kidding! You mean the kid that Davis played and lost miserably to?"

"The very same," he answered, "I'll show him to mess w/ the digital world!"

Sora laughed, "don't get ahead of yourself Tai we have to beat him first."

"Yeah I guess, but still it would be great if we beat him don't you think?"

Sora smiled, "It would be great wouldn't it?"

"I can't wait 'til Sat.!" Tai said excitedly

"It's gonna be a long week then" Sora sighed, "We'll have practice every day 'till the game if we wanna even have a chance at beating him. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow" she said as she disappeared into her house.

'Hm.maybe this would be a good time to show the coach that "Sam" doesn't exist,' she thought as she went to bed that night, "plus, it would be great to have Ken know he was beaten by a girl,' she smirked as sleep overtook her.

~Thurs. Morning~

The clock said 2:35am on Sora's desk. She ha woken up from another bad dream. She's been having the same one for the past week.

She sighed. "Oh man, I'll be dead on my feet by the time practice starts!" she mumbled as she tried to go back to sleep, but she knew she wouldn't be able to.

She went about her daily business, went to school and soccer practice, and had the same dream the next night.

"Sora, are you feel'n ok?" Tai asked after practice that day. He had noticed she wasn't her usually perky self lately and he was starting to worry.

"Uh.yeah.I'm fine, just a little tired that's all," sighed Sora.

Tai was sure she wasn't telling him something but he didn't press it, she would tell him if she was having a problem when she was ready, "If you say so, but I'm here if ya need me k?"

"Yeah I know" she said with a smile, "I'll see ya tomorrow before the game!" And with that she went on her way.

Tai shook his head and started his own walk home. That night Tai had a bad dream of his own. There was a dark figure with red eyes holding a limp form in its arms. It was standing on a cliff laughing down at him. As he looked up he saw the face of the body the red-eyed figure was holding.

"SORA!" Tai sat up with a start, covered in sweat. He was breathing heavy and shaking. A thousand thoughts ran through his head. He wasn't usually a believer of this kind of thing but what if the dream had meant something? Was Sora ok? Would he be able to go back to sleep?

Little did he know Sora had been having a similar problem for weeks.

There was the same figure with red eyes but it was holding her.

"Sora!" She could hear someone calling her name.she opened her eyes to see she was on a cliff. She looked down to see Tai. His clothes were torn and he was bleeding in various places. The red-eyed figure set her down but held her around the waist tightly. He stretched an arm forward, his palm facing Tai. A red beam shot from his hand.

"no.Tai!" she sat up with a jolt. She was breathing heavy and covered in sweat. She looked at the clock,

"Oh great, it's not even 2:00 yet," she moaned. She fell back against her pillow. She decided not to mention the dream to Tai. She didn't want to bring him down on game day.

"What a way to start a Sat." she sighed.

~At a Soccer Field somewhere..maybe the one at their school.use your own imagination~

Later that morning she met Tai and some of the others at the field [with no specific location] to practice before the game. Matt and T.K. showed up as did Davis.

"I wanna be on Sora's team!" Davis said excitedly. The reason being that Kari was on her team.

"Sorry Davis, you're on Tai's team with Matt," laughed Sora. Davis pouted and went over to Tai's side of the field.

Kari set down the soccer ball, "Ok guys, don't eve think about go'n easy on us!" she said as she kicked the ball.

"Yeah we'll beat you in a heartbeat" smirked sora and before anyone could say anything, she jetted towards the goal and the ball flew past Davis into the net.

"Oh come on, you guys aren't even trying," Sora teased as she bounced the ball from her knee to her head to Kari. She knew if she annoyed Tai enough he'd actually try and stop her.

"Sora, I didn't even get a chance to," Tai whined rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He knew he couldn't tell her about his dream. She'd worry too much and practicing was a good way to get his mind off things.

"And you wont get one either," she said as she winked and started to zip back to Davis's goal again.

Tai's eye twitched and he ran after her and knocked her over.

"Tai, that wasn't very nice," frowned T.K.

"Chill out T.K. they do this all the time, you should see them play one on one. I swear if I didn't know them like I did I'd think they were trying to kill each other," laughed Kari as she watched Sora jump back up and tackle Tai before heading back towards Davis.

"She's right, just stay out o their way. I find it quite amusing," smirked Matt as Tai stole the ball and headed for T.K.'s goal before Sora tripped him and headed right back to Davis.

"I told you you wouldn't get a chance," laughed Sora as she successfully kicked it past Davis before Tai could stop her again, "at least not a big one anyway."

Then, Davis being the smart little marble he is, got an idea, "I wanna see you two play one on one."

"Careful Davis, you're ask'n for a war," Matt laughed.

"Wont they need goalies?" asked a very confused T.K.

"Nope!" Tai and Sora said in unison as they headed off towards Tai's goal again.

After an hour or so of tripping and running each other over (plus the occasional goal-scoring). They decided to stop and head to Tai and Kari's house, "You were right that was a war," said T.K. in awe.

Matt laughed, "I told you so."

"Don't worry, T.K., it's all in good fun," said Sora.

"Yeah, we'd never really hurt each other," smiled Tai, "but anyway I think we can beat him." he said to change the topic (didn't want to sound too caring or loving you know ^-^).

"I hope so," sighed Sora as she plopped down next to him on the couch.

"Beat who," asked Davis.

"Oh nobody, just Ken the Dark Emperor is all," Tai said slyly.

"WHAT?!?!?" yelled Davis, "Oooooh lemme play please, please, please!!!! I'll beat him this time I promise!" he pleaded.

"Ooooooh no, you had your chance it's our turn," Sora teased.

"Awww, no fair," Davis pouted, crossing his arms and sitting with a huff on the floor.

"Oh grow up Davis, you'd just lose again anyway," said Matt, who was still not fond of Davis.

"Um, when does the game start?" asked T.K., trying to change the topic before Matt beat Davis to a pulp.

"Not until 4:00," answered Tai, shaking his head at Davis who was still pouting in the corner.

~At.yoooooooou guessed it! 4:00~

Tai was waiting for Sora to finish changing so they could go to the game, "Hurry up Sora, we'll miss our practice time!" Tai said, getting annoyed at having to wait so long.

"Keep your pants on Tai, I'm coming," Sora said rolling her eyes as she came out of the locker room. She sighed and knew she shouldn't get mad even if she hadn't been getting lots of sleep lately.

"Come on I'll race ya to the field," Sora said with a fake smile before taking off.

"You're on!" Tai called after her as he took off across the school himself.

When they got there everyone was watching the top of the parking lot where Ken's bus was unloading (ya know like in the eppy where Ken beats Davis). "There he is," whispered Sora.

"Should we talk to him, "Tai whispered back in question.

"No, wait until after the game, we have to practice now," Sora answered as she headed toward their team that was already on the field.

After a while the game had started and both teams were having a rough time. The score was much closer than Davis's game. Soon it came down to the last quarter (or whatever they call it in soccer, lemme know if you know) and there wasn't much time left. Tai and Sora's team where down by only one point (if that's actually possible please let me know, savvy?). "What are we gonna do, Tai?" asked one of their team mates.

"Don't worry I got a plan," said Tai, "Try to get the ball near the goal then passit to me. Sor-er..Sam and I will do the rest."

The broke out of their huddle and walked back to the field, "Whatever you way, Cap'n Tai" whispered Sora as she passed him.

Tai rolled his eyes and took his own position. All of a sudden Tai's plan was put into action. Tai had the ball and kicked it to Sora. Then out of no where, Ken came sliding in and kicked the ball away from Sora, but not before he hurt her shin.

Sora yelped in pain but ignored it and before Ken could get the ball, Sora turned and got the ball back and hit it in what seemed to be slow-motion. The ball flew threw the air hurtling towards the goal. Ken zipped in front of it and hit it with his head. It flew straight towards Sora, she bumped it off her head onto her knee and made like she was going to pass to Tai. As Ken sped in that direction she shot the ball right at the goal and it went.IN!!! The crowd erupted with cheers.

Tai ran up to Sora, "Great job!"

Sora smiled, "Thanks!" she started jumping up and down, "we beat 'em Tai!" She threw off her goggles (that held her hair in place) and hugged Tai.

Both teams were in shock, especially Ken. "I was beaten by a girl!?!" he yelled.

Sora baced away from Tai. "Uh oh," she whispered.

"I do believe you've been caught my dear," Tai whispered back, smirking.

"That's not funny," she whispered again as she elbowed him. They looked over to see that their coach wasn't very happy, "I guess I should tell him my big plan, huh?"

"Yeah, I'll go with ya.Coach doesn't look too happy," Tai said as they headed toward him.

The coach was really mad that Sora had lied to him but after Tai and the rest of the team talked him into it, he decided to let her stay on the team, "Well, alright, I guess you can stay on the team. But don't think you'll be treated any differently than the rest of the team," he sighed.

Sora agreed, "Hey Tai, now that that's over with, let's go congratulate our little emperor."

"Do we have to?" Tai made a pouty face.

Sora laughed, "That face will get you no where with me you know that. And yes, Tai we have to, it's called good sportsmanship. Now come ON!" she answered as she got behind him and pushed him over to Ken.

"Yeah and you want to rub it in his face," he smirked as he swatted her away from pushing him and now walked beside her.

She elbowed him again and rolled her eyes, "Just remember to be NICE!"

"Um.good job Ken, You're really good" Sora said with a smile when they found Ken pouting on the sidelines.

"Yeah.but not good enough- OW!" Tai started to say until Sora elbowed him yet again.

"Tai be nice he's-"

"I LOST TO A GIRL!?!" Ken interrupted. He was absolutely furious that Sora beat him.

"Um.yeah.well.I guess ya did."Sora said with a bit of confustion.

Tai was about to yell at Ken for being so rude to "his" Sora (had to add the 'his' part sorry) , but was stopped as the digi-destined came up to congratulate the two. Sora looked at Tai and shrugged, deciding to give up on Ken.

"Sora that was SO COOL!!!" exclaimed Davis excitedly with starts in his eyes, "you godda teach me how to do that!!!!"

"It was, and I quote Izzy on this one, 'prodigious,'"joked Matt.

Izzy slanted his eyes at Matt, "Hey! That's my word!"

The others laughed, "I can't believe a girl is better than me," Davis mumbled once it hit him that Sora had done what he hadn't been able to do.

"DAVIS!" everyone yelled at him. Davis sweatdropped , "uh.sorry." he said meekly.

"Ya should be," mumbled Matt.

"hey did I suddenly become invisible?" mumbled Tai who was kind of envious that Sora was getting all the attention.

"All three of you need to take a chill pill," said Kari who didn't want the three to start killing each other. Matt got the hind and decided to change the subject, "victory treat on me cause I FINALLY got some cash!" Matt said.

"Good cause you're gonna pay," laughed T.K. Everyone else laughed too as Matt sweatdropped.

~Meanwhile in a dark castle~

"Beaten by a girl, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!!??? And she's friends with those digi-destined brats," Ken fumed. He had a picture of Sora on one of his many moniters.

"Hm.no matter, I'll get my revenge and make her digi-destined friends suffer. Good thing I saw them come up to her." he smirked. Then he laughed evily ( f that's even a word), and now we fade to black.
