Chapter 2: A Secret revealed

"Hikari and Takeru are what!?" exploded Taichi. Yamato, Sora, Ken and Yolei had come over Taichi's place, eager to bring the news. They wouldn't say how or who, however.

"When!? Where!? HOW!?"

Taichi had bombarded the four digi-destined with questions. Yamato was the one who started to calm Taichi down and answer most of the questions.

"Well, it was today, I think it was somewhere between sunset and night fall. They wereat the park when it happened. I doubt they're still in the park though. I don't really know how - it just happened" explained Yamato. He saw how Taichi reacted, and he had an idea. He would soon be regretting his actions though.

"They were also planning to elope" added Yamato with a smile on his face. He waited for Taichi to react, hoping to further enrage his friend.

"Oh, so they're going to…" started Taichi. He smiled at his statement. He didn't bother finishing it though.

"Agumon…" said Taichi in a scarily sweet voice.

"Yeah Taichi?" asked Agumon. He was sitting on the couch, calmly listening to the conversation. He suddenly leaped when Taichi started yelling.

"LET'S GO! WE'RE HUNTING TAKERU TONIGHT! DIGIVOLVE TO WARGREYMON AND BURN EVERYTHING UNTIL WE FIND THE TWO AND KILL TAKERU!!!!" shouted Taichi with all his might.

"Uh-oh, this looks bad. The Taichi Volcano has finally erupted…" thought Sora as shesighed.

Taichi was racing to the door, accompanied by the startled Agumon. They would've gotten out too if it wasn't for Sora's quick actions. She pulled Taichi back to the nearest chair.

"Relax Taichi, Yamato was just kidding. They're not eloping" said Sora with a slight smile.

"…hopefully".

She added though barely enough for even her to hear. He seemed to have calmed down.

"Yeah I was kidding!" added Yamato. He was a little scarred of Taichi's actions.

"Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut. Fortunately though, Agumon can't digivolve to Wargreymon here or we'd have to save the world again along with Takeru…from him" thought Yamato as he sighed with relief.

"Okay Taichi, listen up" said Sora, trying to persuade her friend into reconsidering his plan to kill Takeru.

"When Hikari gets home…" started Sora. Taichi interrupted her.

"I'll kill Takeru first, leaving his corpse dangling in the front so everybody'll think twice about hitting on my sister and lock Hikari up!" said Taichi furiously. He stood up once again but was pushed back down by Sora.

"Do you really think that will work!?" asked Sora, all calmness flying away.

"Yeah, you're right. I'd be in trouble; maybe I'll leave his corpse somewhere…"

"No! That's just absurd! Creepy and Absurd! You won't interfere and wait until she tells you about their new relationship. Got that!?" said Sora, her voice not exactly shouting but not exactly calm.

"Got that!?" repeated Sora once again, though slower this time and she had shouted.

"Yes, ma'am" said Taichi sarcastically. This got Sora a little furious. Ok, understatement, very furious.

"You'd better get this straight Taichi - if I catch you interfering with the two, I will not hesitate to take you down… You'd be lucky if I kill you outright!", said Sora with a voice she seldomly used. It was enough to frighten the three digi-destined and Agumon and shake Taichi a bit.

"Oh y-yeah…" said Taichi, a little shaky. "How!?". He regretted asking as Sora suddenly pounded the table, almost breaking it in half.

"For starters, it's four against one! Five if you count Hikari." she said looking at the other three. They were surprised but since this was their plan, they stuck by Sora. "Not even Agumon can take down 5 digimon all at once. And if even if he could…" Sora's voice became deadlier. "I could finish you and Agumon off myself…" She said, finally ending her little phase as she sighed with relief. The three gave a nervous laugh while Agumon sighed with relief. They didn't know Sora could be this… umm… aggressive.

Taichi thought for a second. He remembered that they couldn't go past rookie stage, or in Tailmon's case, champion in the real world. But even if they couldn't digivolve, Biyomon, Gabumon, Wormmon, Hawkmon and Tailmon could easily defeat Agumon considering their number and Tailmon's evolution stage. This had also made his previous plan useless.

"Fine!" said Taichi in a defeated voice. "I won't interfere!"

"Good. They should be coming back, seeing it is already 9 pm. But before we go, I should see to it first that Takeru leaves in one piece." said Sora, returning to her calm self.

"Fine, I promise I'll behave!" said Taichi grumpily. He wasn't used to Sora bossing him around like this.

"Good boy!" said Sora, smiling.

"They're here!" exclaimed Yolei as they saw the door open. To their surprise, Hikari was alone.

"Oh, I didn't know you guys where here!" said Hikari, surprised to see them. She was smiling though not with surprise, but with delight. "I would have invited Takeru if I had known".

"He was with you?" asked Taichi in a curious and, surprisingly, calm voice as he stood up. The others were surprised, considering the sudden eruption they had witnessed.

"Yeah, I was bored earlier. Everyone was busy except for him so we decided to go out". She was hoping Taichi wouldn't ask any specifics about their little date. She would tell him anyway but he'd have to wait.

"Oh, ok. You'd better head off and change. Have you eaten yet?" asked Taichi in a brotherly voice. Taichi was incredibly calm. Yamato saw past this and snickered. He knew Taichi had a plan. They were best friends after all so he could easily read Taichi's moves.

"Wonder how he'll deal with this one" thought Yamato gleefully. Not even he could imagine what horrors Taichi could unleash.

"Yeah, Takeru and I already ate a while back" replied Hikari. "What are you guys doing here anyway?"

"Uh…nothing really!" explained Sora, a little nervous. "We were just leaving anyway, right guys?"

"Uh, yeah! Bye Tai! Bye Hikari!" said the three. They proceeded outside.

"Bye guys!", Sora bid them goodbye and proceeded outside, like the rest.

Outside

"Wonder why Taichi suddenly calmed down" asked Yolei in confusion.

"Yeah, that was strange" said Sora.

"Maybe you scarred him?" said Ken.

"No that's not it. I know Taichi, he wouldn't be…" Sora trailed off. She just realized something.

"Yamato!" suddenly exclaimed Sora.

"What?", said a startled Yamato. He was surprised by the sudden call of Sora.

"We need to find out when Takeru and Hikari plan to go on a date." said Sora. She had put two and two together. Taichi was going to do something horrible.

"Guess you finally figured out" said Yamato with a grin. This made Ken and Yolei feel left in the dark. They had no idea what was going on and what they were talking about.

"Uh, guys? What are you talking about?" asked Yolei. Ken just listened as he only got a portion of what they were talking about. He didn't know Taichi that long so he was unaware of his over protectiveness.

"Oh, sorry. We forgot. Anyway, long story short, Taichi's planning to destroy Takeru and Hikari's new relationship as he thinks she's too young to date, have any boyfriends, etc." said Yamato hurriedly. "You know, the usual over protective brother excuses"

"Ah, I see", said Yolei excitedly. Ken just nodded in understanding. "How do we stop it?" asked both Yolei and Ken. Both knew another intricate plan was needed for them to vanquish the new evil which was in the form of Taichi Yagami.

"Well…", started Sora. She discussed the plan as they finally got in the elevator.

Yamato's apartment

"Hey Takeru!" called Yamato as Takeru entered the room. He was seated at the couch. Apparently, he beat Takeru to the apartment because Takeru had forgotten that he was staying with Yamato for a while. Their parents had finally tried to do something about them being one happy family again.

"Did anything good happen today?", asked Yamato. The first thing he noticed was Takeru's huge smile. It was from end to end.

"Nothing much" replied Takeru. The smile he wore and the answer he gave were two opposing ideas so Yamato decided to question this, even though he knew already the answer.

"Then what's with the smile?" asked Yamato, grinning slightly.

"Well, umm…. How do I say this….", started Takeru. He didn't know how to explain his near maniac smile. He was actually pretty nervous since he and Hikari decided not to tell anyone yet except maybe for their big brothers. The big brothers part was up to their individual decisions.

"Let's just put it this way, I had a great time today" replied Takeru.

Yamato just smiled. "Whatever you say, little bro…".

"Guess he won't tell me yet…" thought Yamato. "Wonder when though…"

He didn't pester Takeru any further. This made Takeru suspicious as his brother would already be interrogating him right now.

"You alright?" asked Takeru, a little concerned though the overall feeling was suspicion.

"Yeah, why'd you ask?"

"You would have started interrogating me right now. I would already be tied to the sofa or chair or whatever and you would have launched a barrage of questions." said Takeru, his smile unfading.

"Guess I'm not in the mood…" said Yamato in a convincing tone. Unfortunately, it wasn't convincing enough as Takeru continued questioning him further.

"Spill it! What do you know?" demanded Takeru. He was almost positive that Yamato had seen what had occurred between him and Hikari.

"Nothing! I don't know anything 'bout you and Hikari!" exclaimed Yamato. This made him smack himself mentally, he had slipped.

"I never said anything about me and Hikari", said Takeru. He wasn't really happy about him finding out exactly what had happened. Nevertheless, he was glad that at least he wouldn't explain that much.

"Fine, so I was there! Happy!" said Yamato dejectedly.

"I knew it!"

"Fine, fine. So when do you plan to have a date?" asked Yamato suddenly, changing the subject.

"Well, tomorrow night. Why?" asked Takeru.

"Oh, okay. Well, G'night lil' bro" said Yamato.

"Yeah, good night but why'd you ask?" said Takeru sleepily.

"Nothing, just curious" replied Yamato.

"Okay?" said Takeru, confused by his brother's actions.

"Oh, by the way, don't say anything to Taichi about this. Hikari wants to tell him personally."

"Sure, no problem. I won't say anything.", said Yamato. He was grinning slyly and this made Takeru doubtful. Nevertheless, he proceeded to his room to sleep as it was already late and he had to prepare for tomorrow's affair. After the door had been closed, Yamato grabbed the nearest phone and started to dial someone's number.

"Hey, Takeru said tomorrow night. No specifics yet" said Yamato.

"Great! It's alright if there are no specifics, we'll just follow them tomorrow night", replied the voice on the other line.

"Okay but I'd be a little comfortable being one step ahead of Taichi so I'll still ask him about the date" said Yamato.

"Well, that's your idea but he'll probably try to keep it a secret. Either way, I appreciate the help" replied the voice.

"Okay, I'll try. But I was wondering, how will Taichi know that they're having a date?" asked Yamato.

"He already knows. I called Taichi a little while, trying to check if he already forced the truth out of Hikari." said the voice.

"So, what happened?"

"Hikari already told him. She was excited and couldn't wait to tell to him. He knows that they're going to have a date tomorrow but fortunately, only Takeru knows where they're going", replied the person on the other line.

"Well, hopefully I'll be able to get the details out so we'll be a step ahead", replied Yamato.

"Yeah, that would be better. Anyway, I still need to call the other two. See you tomorrow."

Both said their goodbyes and goodnights. Yamato then proceeded to his room to get some rest.

"This'll be exhausting" thought Yamato. He sighed as he opened the door to his room. "The only thing that bothers me is that Taichi doesn't trust Takeru with Hikari. Oh well, it can't be helped. Taichi is the most over protective brother in Japan, maybe even the whole world". Yamato sighed once again as he closed the door, heading to his bed to sleep.

Okay so that's about it! Next chapter is when Daisuke makes an entrance to the story! Hope you liked this one and please R&R! Thanks!
