After that battle Yoshino had stop talking to Taichi, every time he would call her on her cellphone she would let it go to voicemail. She had eighty missed calls, eighty voicemails and one hundred unanswered texts, can you guess who it's from? They're all from Taichi but being Yoshino, she is really stubborn but she did just get her heartbroken by a guy she really likes. Hanabi would check on her sister from time to time, but did not want to disturb her. None of the digimon knew what was going on with Yoshino. She didn't want them to worry about her. Yoshino knew this wasn't right, and she shouldn't be crying over some stupid boy. So she got up took a shower put on some fresh clothes and left her room.
"You're alive?!" Hanabi said with a shocked expression. Yoshino rolled her eyes walking into the kitchen grabbing an apple asking Hanabi where is she going today with Kudamon. "Mimi-san offered to go to the hot springs, because she hasn't been there since she left to America."
"Okay, let's go." Yoshino said, grabbing a bottle water and a bag about to walk out of the door.
"NO!" Hanabi yelled out making Yoshino and the other digimon stared at Hanabi weirdly. Yoshino walked up to her little sister arching her eyebrow knowing something was off but she also knew it was fun irritating her little sister.
"Why not?" Yoshino asked with a smirk on her lips.
"Taichi-san will be there and you two aren't talking." Hanabi said looking at the ground not wanting to look up. Yoshino shrugged her shoulders grabbing her sister by the arm and began walking out of the apartment with her digimon. Hanabi was freaking out trying everything, she could to try to make Yoshino stay home but everyone knew once Yoshino puts her mind to it. It is extremely hard for someone to distract her or persuade her into not doing it. They began to walked towards the spot seeing everyone under the bridge. Yoshino ran towards the other.
"Koushiro!" She yelled out jumping on his back.
"Ahhh!" Koushiro screamed as Yoshino jumped on him. Koushiro didn't have any balance so he fell flat on his face.
"Koushiro, you were suppose to catch me." Yoshino said getting off of her best friend helping him up.
"Not when you surprise attack me." Koushiro said and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Y-Yoshino!" the others said shocked.
"Yup, now can we going because I need to relax." Yoshino stated.
"Taichi!" Coronamon and Spadamon yelled out. Taichi froze in his spot.
"Why didn't you walk Yoshino home like you usually do?" The two Digimon asked.
"He had better things to do, I'll meet you guys there." Yoshino said walking away with Lunamon.
"Y-Yoshino." Taichi whispered.
"Yoshino! Wait for us!" Coronamon and Spadamon yelled out running after her.
"I'm sorry Taichi, Yoshino is still in a bad mood." Hanabi said looking at the ground.
"It's fine Hanabi, let's just go." Taichi said and the group left. Only to see Yoshino on her knees crying and mumbling someones name.
"Yoshino." Koushiro dropped his stuff running towards her. Lunamon, Coronamon and Spadamon had tears streaming down their faces as well.
"Leomon." She told Koushiro.
"What's wrong with Leomon?" Koushiro asked.
"He's hurting, he's endanger." Yoshino responded to Koushiro.
"Leomon is safe in the Digital World." Koushiro assured her.
"You have to help him!" Lunamon, Spadamon and Coronamon shouted at them.
"Yoshino." Taichi said kneeling towards her placing her in his arms.
"Taichi." Yoshino said and buried her face into chest crying.
"Yeah?" Taichi asked her with a concern look on her face.
"You'll save him before Meicoomon gets to him right. Promise me." Yoshino whispered to him so no one else would hear. "Please." She stared at him with a hopeless look. Taichi never seen this look before, but he knew that she was really scared and worried for Leomon.
"I promise."
Once those words left his mouth, Yoshino smiled at him then blinked a couple of times.
"Yagami." Yoshino said.
"Yes?" Taichi responded.
"Why are you holding me?" she asked him.
"You were crying." He told her and she moved out of his arm standing up.
"No, I wasn't and since when do you care. Did you finally forgive me or are you pitying me?" Yoshino said and walked away with her digimon.
"That was strange." Mimi said.
"Even for Yoshino." Takeru said.
"Did you honestly think you can contact her?" A man walked towards Leomon who was on the ground in pain. Ogremon was standing next to the man who was furious with Leomon.
"She is the savior of the Digital World. She will defeat you and restore balance." Leomon said and the man stood in front of the injured Digimon.
"Not when she's under my control." he smiled at Leomon.
"Unless she fights it, you know she has the strongest will power then anyone you ever met." Leomon said.
"I know she will but I have plans, when she does."
The group made it to OOEDO-ONSEN MONOGATARI and they all went to the counters looking at the yukatas.
"Wow!" Meiko said admiring the different options.
"Pick whichever you want." Sora told her.
"Really?" Meiko asked surprise.
"I've got it." Mimi said.
"I wonder if the pattern on this yukata is too plain. But..." Koushiro said deciding which one he should get.
"How about that one?" Mimi suggested.
"I'll take it!" Koushiro shouted out pointing at the one Mimi picked out for him. Yoshino laughed out loud at her best friend and he turned around facing her. "What?"
"Nothing." Yoshino said.
"Seriously, Yoshi what is it?" Koushiro said.
"It's just your in love with Mimi and you won't confess." Yoshino told him.
"I'm not in love with Mimi." Koushiro said with his face turning red.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah lover boy. So it's going to be. Mimi, I love you." Yoshino said and started to pretend to kiss the air making Koushiro blush more. "Don't worry." Yoshino smiled walking away.
"Bye Bye Lover Boy." Spadamon, Coronamon and Lunamon said not knowing what Yoshino meant. She walked into the changing room.
Yoshino began to put on her yukata while she heard the others having fun with their digimon. Mimi walked up to Yoshino while she was fixing her hair putting it in two buns with two strands of hair out.
"What's going on with you and Taichi?" Mimi asked.
"Nothing, we just have some issues. But today isn't about me and Yagami, it's about us relaxing." Yoshino smiled and the girls left. Yoshino stood back going towards the mirror looking at herself seeing someone behind her and she whipped around seeing no one. "Your not going crazy Yoshino. But people might think it if you keep talking to yourself."
She walked out of the changing room seeing all of her friends, their digimon and her digimon.
"Yoshino, you look so pretty." Spadamon and Coronamon both said in unison. Everyone turned around facing Yoshino seeing her in her yukata which was Black with a white stripe and a yellow bow.
"Ah! There she is. Hime-chan!" Mr. Nishijima said and everyone turned around.
"'Hime-chan'?" Taichi questioned.
They all heard a screech, "Are you on a date? Is she your girlfriend?" Mimi asked excitedly.
"Ex, actually." Mr. Nishijima confirmed.
Himekawa slapped Nishijima on the back with anger. "That's too much information!"
"I like her." Yoshino smiled.
Meiko came into the hot spring saying that Biyomon and Meicoomon are missing. All of the girls began to search the locker area not being able to find them anywhere. They stood in front of the guys hot spring and of course Mimi having the most brilliant idea ever to go barge in. Yoshino disagreed with that option saying if the boys see Biyomon and Meicoomon, they'll bring then back.
"Are you scared to go into the boys side." Mimi taunted her making Yoshino arch her eyebrow.
"Am not! This is just highly inappropriate." Yoshino commented.
"Yoshino scared to see Taichi." Hikari and Hanabi both said in unison.
Yoshino cheeks turned pink and she glared at her sister and Hikari. "NO I'M NOT!"
"We'll just have to barge in then." Mimi said and Yoshino sighed.
"Fine let's go." Yoshino said and the girls ran in and she put her head down sighing.
Spadamon and Coronamon both yelled out, "CHARGE!"
"Yoshino do we have to go." Lunamon asked.
"Nope we'll wait out here." Once those words left Yoshino mouth they both heard a loud crash. "They can't just get Biyomon and Meicoomon and leave nope there has to be a scene." Lunamon and Yoshino ran inside helping up Sora and Meiko.
"Great you found them can we go." Taichi walked out of a room.
"What are you doing in here!" Taichi yelled out.
"Just leaving." Yoshino said walking away only to be pulled back by Sora and Meiko who held both of her arms.
"Don't worry. I can't see a thing. See? Completely fogged up." Meiko said moving her glasses up and down from the bridge of her nose. She looked down seeing Taichi in his towel.
"A total success, right Meimei?" Mimi said and she looked at Yoshino who was just looking at her nails not paying mind to anyone around her. Mimi smirked and pushed Yoshino into Taichi's arms, which made the two both looked at each other and began to blush. Taichi looked up at the ceiling while Yoshino glared at Mimi.
"Now it's a total success, right Meimei?" Mimi said.
"Yup." All of the girls said with a smile, except Yoshino.
"Get out of here now!" Taichi yelled out and Yoshino pushed him away walking out of the boys side of the hot springs.
They all left the hot springs saying goodbye to Himekawa and Mr. Nishijima and getting the bus to go home. In the back seat were Mimi, Sora, Meiko, Takeru and Hikari. On the right side was Koushiro and Yamato and on the left side was Taichi and Yoshino. Which Mimi forced them to sit together.
"Mochizuki-san, are you perhaps from Shimane?" Takeru asked.
"I... I'm from Tottori." Meiko responded.
"I was close! My grandmother says 'ta much' too." Takeru said.
"Which one is Tottori?" Mimi asked.
"The one with the sand dunes." Koushiro said turning his head facing the others.
"Shimane's the one with no computers." Taichi said.
"That was a million years ago. Watch it." Yamato said.
"I..." Meiko stuttered.
"Only true friends fight." Mimi said to Meiko.
"We're not fighting." Taichi and Yamato both said in unison. Everyone began to laugh at them. Yoshino looked down in her lap seeing Coronamon, Spadamon and Lunamon sleeping. She smiled at them, she picked up Spadamon holding him in her arms while the other two were on her lap. The bus stop at their destination. Everyone got off and they began to go home. Yoshino walked the other way going to the docks.
"Hanabi tell mom and dad, I'll be home late." Yoshino said, Lunamon and Spadamon were in her bag, and Coronamon was holding her hand as they left the group. Yoshino sat down on the edge of the dock looking at the sun setting.
"Yoshino." someone spoke from behind her and she knew that voice.
"What do you want Yamato?" (I bet you all thought it was going to be Taichi)
"It's about Taichi and you." Yamato said sitting down next to her.
"Don't you kinda need Taichi to be here." Yoshino said.
"You didn't tell her Yamato." Gabumon whispered.
"Yoshino." She heard Agumon shouted out running towards them.
"I'm leaving." She said getting up to leave but Yamato grabbed her arm.
"If you two stay like this then we won't accomplish anything." Yamato said.
"I'll make up with Taichi once you two do." Yoshino said crossing her arms.
"You first." Yamato said and she rolled her eyes.
"You're not going to let me leave until me and him talk huh." she said.
Yamato just got up and Taichi sat next to her. "Yoshino, I'm-"
"Don't say you're sorry if you don't mean it, I'm sorry." She looked down at the ground.
"What are you sorry for?" Taichi questioned her.
"I guess when I sacrifice myself, I wasn't thinking about how it would effect everyone I love." Yoshino eyes began to water. "i didn't realize how it would effect us."
"U-Us?" Taichi stuttered.
"Yeah, I mean come on we're best friends or best frenemies." Yoshino smiled at him.
"Right, friends." Taichi said.
"I understand if you don't forgive me." Yoshino said and Taichi laughed a little bit.
"I'd never thought I'd see the day, Yoshi was apologizing." Taichi smiled at her.
"Don't call me Yoshi." She said and punched his arm. She hugged him, "Don't worry too much about me." She pressed her head against his shoulder.
"If you keep doing dangerous things and I'm always going to worry." he told her.
Yoshino grabbed one of his hands and played with his fingers. "I always wonder how much it would be different if I didn't sacrifice."
"Me too." Taichi said looking down at their hands.
Taichi looked back up at her as she watch the digimon play around with each other. He loved when she smiled and laughed.
"Most people find staring very odd or rude." Yoshino said making Taichi blush. "While other people find it endearing." Taichi looked at her shocked. "And I happen to be both kinds of people." She turned his face and kissed his cheek.
"I have to get home it's getting late bye Taichi." She said and her digimon followed her.
"Taichi? What's wrong?" Agumon asked him. Taichi sat there with a blush on his cheeks.
