"..." means someone is talking
... means a demon is talking
'...' means someone's thoughts
Taichi Yagami yawned for the third time from his seat on his bed. It had been a year since the defeat of Malomyotismon, it was summer, and all twelve digidestined were bored out of their minds so they had met at Taichi's place to discuss plans for the upcoming week.
"Tai! At least try to stay awake!" Sora reprimanded from her seat across the room next to Yamato.
"Lay off Sora," he shouted back. Because of heat and boredom tensions were high. Although the heat hadn't been bothering Tai recently. In fact it hadn't been bothering him since he turned sixteen. (AN:I don't know neither when Taichi's birthday is nor how old he is in season 2 so I'm taking a guess, ignore it if he's the wrong age!) The thing that was bothering him was this pull on his heart. He didn't feel quite right calling his mom, mom. He felt as though someone was calling him, but it wasn't just an ordinary it was like when his mother called him home, except this was stronger and getting harder to ignore.
"Hello! Earth to Tai!" Takeru said shaking Taichi from his seat next to him.
"Oh! I'm sorry I guess I got lost in my own thoughts," Taichi said shaking his head.
"That doesn't take much," his sister, Hikari, teased.
"I wish that there was something to do," Daisuke complained sighing.
"Well if you really need something to do there's always summer school," Ken said. He, Jyou, and Koushiro were in summer school being the geniuses that they were.
"No way! I'm not THAT desperate!" Daisuke said shocked causing the rest of the digidestined to laugh. When they settled down the feeling came back to Tai and he shifted uncomfortably.
"Are you OK onii-chan?" Hikari asked worriedly.
"I'm fine just extremely hot and bored," Taichi said patting Hikari on the head.
"I know! Let's go get some ice cream!" Miyako shouted and everyone quickly agreed digging into their pockets for some lose change. As soon as everyone found some they quickly hurried out and down the street to the ice cream parlor not even noticing the woman watching them.
'You hid him from me well my dear husband but you could not hide him from me forever... He looks so much like you and I have found him now and will take advantage of the situation before those blasted fire demons arrive,' the woman thought grinning wickedly. She continued watching Taichi for the remainder of the day and staked out his place for the night preparing to approach him the next day.
"Geez it feels like someone's watching me!" Taichi cried out angrily as he, Jyou, Koushiro, Yamato, and Sora hung out in the park. The younger digidestined were spending the day at the pool leaving the older ones to amuse themselves.
"You're just way to uptight Taichi, you're probably just imagining things," Sora stated. Taichi and Sora had been growing bitterer towards each other since Yamato's Christmas gig.
"Sora could be right Tai," Koushiro said as Taichi began to comeback and start another fight. The fights that he had usually shared with Yamato were now shared with Sora. 'I know someone's watching me!' Taichi thought furiously as he turned away from them using the chance to scan the area around them. Suddenly he felt the air around him fill with energy, he hadn't felt this way ever before. It was then he spotted a woman behind a tree. She was very beautiful and he would guess that she was only 25 although some things about her made her seem older. She was muttering under her breath, and suddenly he found himself unable to breathe. He felt extremely hot, and when he finally was able to pull in a breath he had to pant from the heat.
"Are you ok?" Yamato asked stepping in front of him and blocking the woman from view. Instantly everything except for a pounding in his head disappeared.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have a headache. I think I'll head home, mata ashita(see you tomorrow)!" Taichi said and he gratefully escaped the company of the others and brightened at the prospect of sleep.
"Greetings, long time no see," came a voice behind him. He whirled around to see the same woman he had spotted earlier. "Who are you? What do you want?!" Taichi asked getting angry at the delay in getting home.
"I want you, it's been such a long time Taichi and you have grown," she said looking him up and down.
"Hold on! How do you know my name!?" Taichi said getting creeped out.
"Well with who your father was it's hard not to know," she said smiling innocently, "not your father in this world mind you but your, what do you call it, biological father."
"What are you talking about?" Taichi asked taking a few steps back.
"Why don't you go home and ask you 'parents' I'll meet you back here in the park tomorrow if they're not your true parents," she said before simply vanishing. Taichi turned and ran all of the way home trying to escape the conversation he had just had.
