Author's note: Here's part three! The final to the three part series!
A quick disclaimer: I DON"T OWN DIGIMON OR ANY PART OF IT, thought I wish I do.
---------Tai continued thinking about Sora. She was always there when she was needed. He recalled a memory. Once Tai's mom wanted him to watch his sister Kari but Tai wanted to go play soccer. After Tai's mom left, the doorbell rang followed by a gentle knocking on the door, it was Sora.
" Hi Tai! Do you want to come to the soccer field and play?" She asked.
" I wish I could but I've got to watch Kari"
" I'll help you, I have nothing to do anyway." Sora offered helpfully
Suddenly, Tai felt like his shoes were wet. He looked down and saw that he had been so intent on his thoughts that he hadn't noticed there was a small creek in front of him and he had walked right into it. Blushing, he stepped back and looked around. It was then that Tai saw a girl about a few yards away from him. She was brushing her with her fingers to get the tangles out. The girl had her back to him and hadn't noticed him... yet.
Tai gasped, "Sora, is that you?" in a surprised tone but it was enough to startle Sora into turning around and seeing him.
Tai' Sora thought how did he find me? What's he doing here?'
When Sora saw Tai quickly running her way, she speedily leaped up and started to run away.
I can't let him catch me, I just can't!'
Sora ran as fast as she could, knowing that Tai was a fast and speedy runner. She just couldn't let Tai catch her! Inside though, secretly, she almost knid of wished that he would catch up to her. She quickly shook the thought off her mind.
What am I thinking!?!'
I can't let Sora get away, I've got to catch her.' Was Tai's only thought as he chased the girl.
I'll never forgive myself if she manages to get away!'
With this thought in his mind, he speed up and ran at his fastest pace. Sora heard the running sound increase and get louder, meaning that Tai was catching up to her. Oh no! I've got to run faster!'
Tai ran with all of his might . Suddenly, he took a flying leap and tackled Sora to the ground. Sora felt herself falling toward the ground. She tried to wriggle out and get away but she felt herself blushing. Slowly, she realized that she couldn't move because Tai was on top of her and had a tight grip on her waist.
" I'm not going to let go until you promise not to try to get away Sora", Tai told her in a bit of a stern voice.
All of a sudden, Tai felt the body underneath him start uncontroably shaking. It took Tai a while to realize that Sora was crying.
"Sora, what's wrong?' Tai asked worriedly because he had never seen her cry before.
Carefully, as to not hurt the angel underneath him, he rolled off and tried to calm her down. Suddenly, Sora said in a sob, " I'm very sorry I left you guys, will you ever forgive me? I just needed some time to myself."
Surprised, Tai said, "It's all right, just please don't do that again. It frightens me to see you upset and everybody, even T.K. was worried about you."
" I'm afraid that the others will be upset and angry at me for leaving", whispered Sora.
" Of course we won't be angry, you're like a big sister to us and T.K. sees you like a mom in the digital world."
Sora made no reply but Tai felt her breathing slowly come back to normal. He pulled her close to him so that she was lying on his chest. Sora gave a small, barely noticible sigh of contentment and peace.
" Sora, tell me why you left." Tai asked gently.
" When you and Matt were fighting, I got upset, but with everyone angry, I just suddenly felt it was too much. I needed some time alone to understand myself. Please don't be angry." Sora whispered.
" It's alright, I understand."
Sora looked at him with admiration is her eyes. Tai felt himself trapped as he stared into her lovely amber colored eyes. Slowly, they leaned toward each other . . .
" Tai! Where are you!!!!??!!!!" Agumon's worried voice pierced the silence.
Both Tai and Sora looked up. When Agumon found them, each was a dark shade of red looking like a beet. Luckily, Agumon didn't notice because he was very shocked to see Sora.
"Sora, Are you OK?", inquired Agumon still not believing that Sora was in front of him.
"Hi Agumon, yeah I'm alright"
"Come on you guys, let's get back to the others. They're probably worried sick over you Tai! They think you disappeared like Sora!"
Later that night, when all of the digidestines and their digimon had fallen asleep with the exception of Tai, he went to Sora and sat by her still sleeping form. This went on for a few minutes then, careful not to wake his sleeping angel, her leaned over and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek.
"I'm glad you're back Sora" Tai whispered to the night and into Sora's ear and in her sleep, Sora gave a deep smile of contentment and joy.
