So this chapter is going to be less action but more passion. Hope you enjoy it!

Review please!

Are you Sure?

Kari:

I hold onto the sleeping Salamon in Gennai's house and watch everyone else in the room with me. Things aren't really good for anyone right now. All of our digimon were exhausted from the battle with Piedmon and Astamon. Salamon is so exhausted that she can't even maintain her champion form like she normally does. Every other digimon was in its in-training level and currently completely passed out. All of the other digidestined weren't much better. Joe was dealing with Cody who got hurt during the large explosion that Omnimon had provided when his digivolution was interrupted. Mimi is sitting in a corner, holding tightly onto Tanemon and doesn't speak to anyone. We'd hardly gotten Mimi to say anything at all since we'd returned to Gennai's house, but she insisted that she's fine. Davis is in the kitchen and makes some noodles for everyone while DemiVeemon is looking to get some food early. Izzy is also in the kitchen, doing something on his Laptop. Ken and Yolei are talking quietly in a corner, along with Hawkmon and Minomon while T.K and Matt are sitting on either side of me. Sora isn't actually in the room and Tai and Koromon locked themselves in a room while Tai's trying to figure something out to get us out of danger.

"I know no one really wants to talk about that but we have to discuss our next move.." Everyone turned to the voice which belongs to my brother. He's standing in the entrance of the living room. He's leaning at the wall; obviously he's too beaten up to stand by himself.

That statement earned a few of different reactions. I can't see Izzy or Davis since they're in a different room. Joe looks a little down but he's not going to argue with my brother since he knows that Tai's absolutely right. Ken and Yolei broke up their private conversation to look at the rest of us, while I feel both T.K and Matt stiffen. I can tell that none of us wants to have that conversation, or even think about the fact that we have to find some way to deal with a handful of enemies who appear to be completely unstoppable, but everyone is willing to get to work. It is a part of being a digidestined. We have to protect the digital world even if that means that we could get killed. In addition, we met a lot of enemies who seemed unstoppable but we'd managed to beat them anyways.

"NO!" A sudden shout shocked all of us. I turned to see Mimi looking up at all of us. "We don't have to do anything! Can't you see where this is going to end? More of us are going to get hurt. Tai you almost died! You can't imagine how terrible it was to see you so devastated! What if something like that happens again and we have no chance to get to Gennai! Why do we always have to be the ones who stop the evil digimon? Why can't we just let someone else handle it for once?" Mimi looks on the verge of tears at this point and I don't even want to think about how anyone is going to calm her down.

"Mimi, it's not that simple..." Matt starts to say.

"Matt, stop" Tai speaks suddenly. Sora turns to look at him but he doesn't return her glance. "Mimi's right."

That shocked me, Matt and everyone else. Davis and Izzy had even come in to see what's happening, but no one was prepared for what Tai said.

"What?" Matt asks, showing the surprise that everyone feels.

"Mimi is right. It isn't fair that every time when an evil digimon appears we are the ones who have to deal with them." Tai says in a quiet voice, his glance at the ground and his right hand at the table to hold himself in a straight position. The sound of his voice is nothing like him. It almost sounds defeated. There's none of the excitement or joy that Tai would usually have in his voice. "I don't think that any of you should fight in this battle. This isn't anything we've faced before, which means we can't go and fight how we used to do it. Things will have to be done differently and I don't think it's fair to anyone to make them fight if they don't want to."

Tai's words seem to sink into the room. Everyone is staring right at him, almost like they're seeing him for their first time. I'm shocked myself. My brother doesn't want anyone to fight? What happened in the past three years to him? He doesn't want us to work as a team? But hadn't he always said that being together as a team was the key to our success?

This isn't anything we've faced before... He understands that, and, the more I think about it, the more seems to make sense. He actually agrees with a part of what Mimi said. He know that any or all pf us could get injured or even killed in these battles. He himself did almost die and I'm sure it changed something in him. The same thing that always worked for us wasn't going to work anymore. We're forced to do something different about this whole thing. We have to do something new, Tai knows that and wants to get some of us away in case it doesn't work.

"Mimi, take everyone else and go as far away from this part of the digital world as you can" Tai says looking toward the pink haired girl. Tai is actually trying to break up our team and send most of us away. I can see the shock in everyone's eyes. This had never happened before. Even when we split up when we fought the Dark Masters it had been in much smaller groups while Tai kept a large one.

I guess this time it the same, only Tai is breaking off from the rest of us...

I always stuck with my brother in the digital world, and considered the group that he was with the one that everyone else was splitting up with. Now it seems that he's the one who's splitting off from the rest of us, even if he did plan on staying here. I can't help but feel broken hearted. I can't leave my brother behind to fight and hide myself.

"I'm staying with you Tai!" Davis suddenly declares, stepping forward. I actually smile about hit statement. I didn't expect anything different from him. HE's so much like my brother that I didn't doubt that he's staying.

"Me too." Izzy suddenly declares, standing over to the boys. "You will be hopelessly lost without someone telling you where you actually are" Izzy smirks and Tai returns his grin.

"You guys are going to need someone to keep Davis in line, so I'd better staying too." Ken said, standing up from where he'd been sitting with Yolei.

Matt is the next standing up but Tai finally manages to push himself from the wall and lay a hand on Matt's shoulder. "Matt I want you to stay with the others. Just in case they run into trouble. I want you to be there to get them out of it. It would be really helpful to know that they are in safe hands."

Matt doesn't want to say but finally nods, reaching out an arm to Tai, which he takes happily.

So, now comes the hard part. Convince my brother to let me stay.

Sora:

I needed some space after this disaster of a battle. I never felt so beaten up. The explosion didn't harm me or something but to experience something like that is quite shocking. Right now I'm pacing around in one of the many empty rooms at Gennai's house, simply because I was tired to sit in the living room with the others. I wanted to go to Tai's room but he seemed really weak after the fight so I decided it would be best when I give him a little space, besides, I have to figure out what's going on between us. Before I even realized it I'm entering back into the main room, which was the center of a rather heated debate.

"There's no way I am going to go off and hide Tai!" Kari yells rather loudly, right at her older brother who is quite shocked about how his younger sister is even able to yell at him like that.

"Um, what's going on?" I voice, drawing attention to myself. I feel ever pair of eyes in the room focus on me and I have to smile nervously. Tai thankfully doesn't leave me hanging for long.

"A group of us is going to split off, and try to find another way out of the digital world." Tai replies but is interrupted before he can say anything else.

"What he means to say, is he's trying to send some of us away from the fighting!" Kari says angrily pointing right at Tai who just rolls his eyes. Now I'm completely confused, Tai trying to send some digidestined away from the fight? Splitting up the team? I send him a confused look which he returns with a shrug.

"I think everyone just needs to cool off for a little bit..." Izzy says from where he's standing towards the back of the room. "I think Tai is just trying to look out for everyone and it does make sense. The only digimon that seem to even slow down our enemies are WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon and Magnamon, so it makes sense to get everyone else out of danger."

Tai steps forward again. "I don't want to make any of you feel bad, but you'll be safer if you get away from here, that's not a bad thing. Mimi said it perfectly, you all could get hurt or even killed and I can tell you these guys out there aren't going to give you a quick death. They are going to let you suffer when they catch you. You all saw what Piedmon did to me and I can tell he probably never had more fun in his life. So I want you all to be safe and I'm sorry but that's the only choice." Everyone's staring at our leader and finally nods.

"Ok, Matt your team is going to find some old friends of us who are willing to help. You'll take Mimi, Joe, Kari, T.K, Yolei, Cody" Tai is looking around as he says this, and when his eyes met mine I can see the pain in his. He won't send me away. I know he won't. He can't! He needs me near him. Even if Garudamon can't help too much he won't send me away like this. "And Sora"

I blink in shock as he says this. He's sending me away! Away from him! I can't help but get angry. I glare at him. "Don't you dare send me away Kamiya. There's no way that I leave!" I shout angrily at him.

"Sor –"He tries so start but I'm faster.

"No. I said NO. And if you're really want to argue. Fine. But I'm staying. I'm sorry but I don't care what you have to say about my safety." I look him in the eye and send him the private message. I'm safe whenever you're near me. Lucky me he understands my message because he smiles weakly at me.

"Fine"

Taichi:

Everyone has packed and is ready to leave. Of course it hurts to send my sister away. But I want her to be safe. That's all. I love her too much to watch her fight against so powerful enemies. I look at the group who'll leave in a couple of minutes. We're standing outside at the beach from Gennai's lake. Izzy, Davis, Ken and Sora are inside but I wanted to escort them. Kari turns to me and mentions that she wants to talk to me. Alone. I just hope she doesn't want to argue again.

"Please, let me stay" She starts and stares in my eyes. It just hurts to see her begging me like that.

"No. I don't want you to be in danger, please you have to understand me"

"I do but-"she stares straight in my eyes and her eyes start to fill with sudden tears. I hate see girls cry. I can barely stand sora's crying but when my own sister begins with that I'm just about to cry with her. So I do the only thing I can think about; embrace her. She sobs softly at my shoulder.

"I don't want to lose you Tai"

"You're not going to lose me. We've been tough worse." Okay that's a lie, but what else could I say?!

"No, and you know that." She turns to look at me with a serious expression. I don't reply I just hug her tigher.

"Why did you agree when Sora said she's staying? You didn't even argue with her."

I can't help but smirk. Yeah.. why? Why didn't I insist to send her away? Of course, because I love her.

"I just... couldn't"

"Why?"

"I don't know Kari. Maybe it's the fact that I feel better when she's around. I need her to stay strong and I'm sure when she would be with Matt's you and the others the only thing she would do is wonder what's going on here. So I didn't even think about argue with her because I knew that I'm would lose this discussion"

Kari doesn't reply. She just stares at me and slowly starts to smile softly at me.

"I guess there's someone in love huh?" She asks sheepishly. Of course she noticed.

"Shut up and go. The others are waiting for you" I let out a laugh and that's response enough for her. She hugs me one more time and gives me a quick kiss on the check.

"Take care brother."

"You too sweetheart" And with that I enter Gennai's house again.

I smile softly at Sora when I enter the main room again. And she blushes and turns away. I didn't really have anything to say and I'm sure the others felt the same. Izzy Sora and I were used to having our group get separated at one point or another, since that always seemed to happen to us, but we'd never separated the group on purpose like this. Even though I was the one who made the decision, I still feel weird. Davis and Ken have to feel even weirder. They'd never been separated from their group of any extended amount of time, since they'd never actually stayed in the digital world for a long time, so their enemies had never gotten the opportunity. Even the few times a member of their team stayed behind in the real world for some reason, they almost always joined them later. Now we probably wouldn't see our friends gain for quite some time.

"Tai?" A voice interrupts my thoughts and I look up to see Davis, Ken, Izzy and Sora all looking right at me.

"Sorry, did I miss something?" I ask back.

"No, you just look a little lost" Davis replies, leaning back in the chair he's sitting.

"Sorry, just thinking about some things" I reply again, hoping my tone made it clear to Davis that I didn't want to talk to him right now. Yes because the only thing I want to do right now is getting a little rest... and making out with sora. But that isn't a theme now.

"Just checking" Davis replies, holding up his hands as he says that. That of course results in Davis almost falling backwards as his balance was messed up. We all laughed as Davis caught his balance and didn't fall to the ground. "I meant to do that!"

"So Tai, do you have a plan yet?" Izzy changes the subject.

"I was thinking that Gennai might know something, some prophecy, or a rumor about something that might helo us. He's always had something for us before." I reply, looking between Izzy and Ken because they would probably be the first ones who could figure out some solution for the Piedmon problem.

"Sadly Tai, I haven't been able to find anything yet" A voice speaks from the hallway connecting the kitchen and the living areas. Gennai is standing there looking into the kitchen at the five of us and our digimon.

"Nothing?" I reply. I'd been certain that Gennai would come through for us.

"No Tai, I'm afraid I haven't found anything of value, yet. By the way, where are the others?"

"They left; I wanted some of us out of danger." I reply simply.

"You're sure that's the best?" Gennai asks suspiciously.

"Yes" I turn to look him in the eyes and he smiles gently at me. "I trust your decisions you know that"

"Okay guys. But where do we start?" Sora joins the conversation. She's right. We don't know where to start and I have no idea what we could do but suddenly it's like the light in my head got off.

"Gennai what about your files?" I burst out and everyone turns to me. Gennai looks at me with an uncertain expression.

"Yeah you're right. They would be really helpful." He says.

"Which files?" Davis asks obviously confused.

"To make a long story short. I asked Tai to lock my files a few years ago to make sure nobody can take them away and use them for god knows what.

I'm glad that I could find a helpful solution. But then I remembered that I totally forgot that dammn password. And I should probably finally tell Gennai what Piedmon wanted from me when he tortured me. Argh! Stupid me!

"There's something I have to tell you..." And with that everyone turns to look at me and I can't help but get nervous. Gennai eyes up me suspiciously. "Go ahead" he says.

"There was a reason that Piedmon didn't kill me right when he had the chance to"

"Enlighten us Tai" Sora says. I turn to look at her but she stares at the table.

"He wanted the password that I used to lock Gennai's files" Gennai gasps in shock but I ignore him and go on. "But I couldn't remember anything about these files first, but then I remembered how Gennai asked me to lock the files. But there was still one more thing. I couldn't remember that password. That's why Piedmon wanted me alive. Because he knew that I'm the only one who knows the password. I just can't remember, what causes our next problem. Without the files we probably can't figure out a way out of this."

The room is dead silent. Ken and Izzy look at me as if I got insane. Davis looks like he didn't get it. Like always.. And Sora looks like she's going to burst in tears any minute.

"So you can't remember the password. This is good at one side but really bad on the other. Try to remember Tai, it's our only chance to win this fight." And with that Gennai leaves the room.

Sora:

It was a really long day for everyone. After Tai finally talked about what Piedmon exactly wanted from him time seemed to stop. We finally decided to give Tai time to remember the password. So he left and locked himself in a room not even Koromon was by him. He was on his own and that almost three hours by now. Izzy and Ken are already asleep since it's really late. Davis plays poker with the digimon in the living room. I can't find Tai in this giant room so I have no other choice than ask Davis about him.

"Davis, sorry to interrupt. But do you know where Tai could be?" I ask him. Davis turns and looks sheepishly at me.

"Why do you want to know?" He smirks.

"Shut it. Just tell me if you know anything." I glare at him.

"He's in the room with the big window. It's in the center of the house" Davis responds with a rather nervous look. He definitely doesn't want to be on my bad side. Wise decision..

I walk through the hallway until I finally reach the door to the room which Davis described. I knock on the door just to get none response. I knock again.

"Tai it's me. Can I come in? Please?" I ask, maybe he responds when he notices that's me who's knocking. And I was right. A minute later the door opens and a really tired Tai grins goofily at me. I enter the room and gasp. One wall of the room is completely glazed what makes the ones who are in here able to watch all the digimon and fishes who live under water.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Tai says behind my back. I turn to look at him. He leans at the closed door. I notice that he actually locked it. I raise an eyebrow and he just smirks sheepishly.

"Could you remember the password?" I ask, ignoring his question before. His expression changes and he looks now really tired again. "No" he says and stares at the ground and I feel immediately sorry for my question. I didn't want him to feel so guilty.

"Don't worry. Sooner or later you will remember it. Trust me. If I were you I would probably forget that password a week later I locked the files" Tai let out a laugh and I immediately feel better. I love him seeing laugh. I sit on the bed and pat the seat next to me, indicating to him that I want him to sit next to me. He sits next to me, his whole body tense. I place both hands on his shoulders and start massaging. "You're too stiff. Relax"

I stop massaging his shoulders for a second and move so that I'm sitting right beside him, almost shoulder-to-shoulder. I don't even think what I'm doing. I grab his shirt and threw it at the ground. God, he's so hot. He tenses up; obviously he's nervous about the fact that he's half-naked and so near to me. I resume again. Soon my fingers got the best of him and I can feel him relaxing under my touch. He closes his eyes and leans to my touch. Tai's eyes close slowly he lets out a groan of pleasure. I let my hands go down his spine.

"Sora..." he winces.

"Hum?" I ask my lips near his ear. I grin. With Tai in this state I can probably do everything I want with him.

I let my lips brush the tip of his ear and he let out a soft moan. My fingers work their way up, back to his firm shoulders and then to his neck. He lets his head roll back, giving me more access to his face. My hands ran up his neck, sending shivers down his spine. Then I start massaging his temples. Tai leans now against my chest and I'm sitting behind him. He let his head roll to my shoulder. His eyes are closed and he's obviously enjoying what I'm doing.

My hands go back down the sides of his face, down his neck, back to his shoulders. My lips on the other hand have their own mind. I place my lips against his skin, kissing the hole behind his ear.

I hear Tai mutter something that sounds an awful lot like my name but dismiss it and continue on with my assault on Tai's senses. Right now he probably feels like he's in heaven. I leave a trail of kisses from his ear down to his jaw, my lips slowly find their way to his and I finally take his sweet taste. I pull back slightly, but feel pressure apply onto my lips. I feel slight movement but take no notice of it. Then I feel something running though my hair and my body tenses up. Finally realizing it's Tai's hand, I relax once again.

Tai presses my head down a bit, applying a bit more pressure to my lips. I keep massaging his shoulders, making him slowly lose sight of reality. He arches his back slightly when my hands trailed down his spine once again. Tai opens his mouth and let his tongue slither out. I open my mouth to give him full access. I'm absolutely enjoying this right now so I don't really care what we're probably going to do next. Tai's hand runs through my hair, his slender fingers wrapping around my neck, bringing me closer. I feel my body going limp and my hands stop massaging his shoulders. Tai turns his body slightly and wraps his other hand around my waist, pulling me atop of him. He falls back onto the bed and pulls me with him, his head resting on the pillow. His arms travel up and down my body. He breaks the kiss and takes a few deep breaths of air. His eyes still closed, I feel his lips right under mine, his breath against my lips. He moves his head slightly, his full lips coming in contact with my neck. My body heats up and I let out a soft moan when he trails hot kisses down my neck. My hands travel up his muscular arms, over his perfect trained chest and down to his waist. His hands go down to the hem of my shirt. He hesitates but I mention him that he may and he pulls my shirt over my head and throws it away. I can feel my body heat up even more. His hands travel on my bare skin. His lips move down my neck and to my collarbone. I let out a moan and I can feel him grinning. Tai rolls me over to the side and then rolls on top of me. Finally I have chance to look him straight in the eyes and I can see pure...love! He smiles gently at me before he transfers all of his weight onto his elbows and I can feel his skin on mine. He lets his lips move back over my collarbone to my shoulder. He finds a tantalizing piece of skin (between neck and shoulder) and starts sucking and I can't help but moan once again. I never felt a pleasure like that before.

I close my eyes and just feel. I take his shoulders and roll him over onto the bed and climb on top of him. I straddle him and then attack his lips once again.

"You tease.." I mutter between kisses.

"I didn't do anything" Tai laughs. I smile back at him and start kissing his neck. He roles his head on the other side to give me more of his skin to kiss. I trail my hands down his chest, my lips soon following. I can feel his body burning up; hot to the touch. I slowly kiss down his chest and start to feel something press against my stomach. I look back up to Tai and raise an eyebrow. Tai just laughs out loud.

"What do you think what it is you pervert!" He says. And I look down just to notice that the thing what pressed against my stomach was the blanket of the bed. I join in Tai's laughter and just can't stop myself anymore. I look up to Tai again just to see that he stares at my upper part of the body. His look is full of lust. I start to open his belt but he takes my hands in his and forces me to look at him once again.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks rather nervous. I smile softly at him.

"Yes" I reply. Yes I'm sure.

"That could destroy our friendship you know that?" He asks still really nervous.

"Do you really think our friendship could be ever destroyed by anything?" I ask still smiling.

"You're right." He leans back again and continues to stare at me with an unreadable expression.

"I am sure Taichi" And with that I lean down and kiss him again.

Within minutes. We're lost in each other.
