Her Angel
Chapter 3: A Familiar Mountain
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Life went on.
He couldn't have sat there and grieved forever. There were many things in his life besides Sora: Hikari, his parents, friends, football…
And Taichi got up, picked up the pieces, continuing with his life, wishing that those things could help him forget about her and let him move in.
But in the back of his mind he knew, he cared for Sora more than any of those things combined and nothing could ever replace her.

It had been three months since they had started dating. He had masked his emotions so skillfully that he surprised even himself.
Of course, no-one had suspected anything.
Now he wished he hadn't cried in the park. If he had to cry, he could have cried at home, even if it meant risking Hikari knowing about it.
However, letting Hikari know about it would have been better than to have let Koushiro and Mimi know. He winced at the very thought. He wasn't worried about Koushiro, he was worried about Mimi. She could tell the whole school – and Sora – in five minutes!
Because of that little fact, now he was on tenterhooks as well as feeling stupid.
He glanced at his watch and smacked his forehead. He shouldn't have thought so much, he grumbled irritably in his mind as he picked up his pace and started running. He was late for their reunion! Today was the day they had first entered the Digimon World.
He reached Takeru's house panting and just managed to press the doorbell. The door opened and Takeru smiled brightly from inside.
"Hi Taichi! You're the last one here, even Daisuke got here on time," a muffled yell could be heard. "Come on in!"
Taichi went in and followed Takeru to the living room. The first thing he saw was Daisuke – surrounded by pillows.
Before he could give his comment, Koushiro stood up, laptop in hand, and said "Okay, now that everyone's here, I want to tell you guys something before you start fooling around again."
Everyone's attention immediately snapped from Daisuke to him. Now that he had their attention, he set his laptop on the coffee table and pointed to the screen.
"This is a three-dimensional map of the Digimon World I had obtained and I've been monitoring it ever since we found out we could not enter the Digimon World again. There's something here that I wanted to show you."
Everyone crowded around to get a glimpse as Koushiro clicked to enlarge the image.
Taichi felt a small chill go down his spine when he saw it. He couldn't be sure if it was what he thought it was… the last time he had seen it was when he was eleven.
"It's the-" Takeru whispered, doubtfully and unbelieving.
Koushiro faced them gravely, "It's the Spiral Mountain."
And Taichi fell back in shock.
Moments later, when most of them had recovered from their shock and horror, Hikari explained shortly to Daisuke, Ken, Miyako and Iori what was going on.
Iori frowned and voiced out the thought all of them had been thinking "Does this mean that these Dark Masters have come back?"
His nerves jangled when he heard Iori. "Okay, everyone, calm down and let's-"
Before Taichi could finish his sentence, darkness covered the room and as quick as a flash, it disappeared – along with…
"What the-" Daisuke gaped, open-mouthed.
Along with the first eight chosen children…
Author's note:
Happy Chinese New Year (to those who celebrate it)! I know I promised this earlier in my bio and that this chapter is pathetically short… but I've been really busy this week with Chinese New Year and I'm feeling really discouraged with life generally. So I would appreciate it if there are more reviews. Please review!
Nagaina – I know in the dubbed version its Datamon… but the version I watched here in Singapore says he's Nanomon so I followed it! Thanx for saying it's a great fic!
Special thanx to Litanya who reviewed for every chapter!
Thanx for reviewing!:
