Okay! Forgive me if I haven't written chapter 6 earlier but I had a huge writers block. So, I fixed this with the only way I know how, I distracted myself by making posters and thinking like I'm the characters. HAHAHA! (I am insane…)

Anyways, after looking at the story from Taichi and Origin's point of view, I discovered something very interesting about the developing events. And I will right it in this chapter. I hope you enjoy it and if you have any negative or positive comments, it is much appreciated.

This is CHAPTER SIX! And since this chapter barged into my head so suddenly, I'll name this chapter "Lies." Also, this would probably take days to write and would be the longest (and by longest I mean longest) (UPDATE: Wrong, Bonus Chapter 2 is the longest) chapter I will write in this fanfiction so far.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Digimon.

CHAPTER SIX

It has been 2 weeks since the children came home from their visit to Gennai. In that time, Taichi never left his room. He would barely sleep and wouldn't touch the food that Hikari brought for him. Hikari was concerned about his brothers actions these past weeks so she decided that they have a meeting about it, without Taichi. The next day, everyone except Taichi met at Jou's house to discuss the predicament at hand.

"So how's Taichi Hikari?" Yamato asked Hikari sitting next to Takeru.

"He's fine. But he seriously hasn't come out of his room. All he does is stare outside the window or sit on his bed saying nothing. I think what happened in Gennai's house really affected him."

"He's always been like that. Even though we forgave him already for strangling me he wouldn't accept it that easily."

"But you know, he has changed a lot after our last battle." Koushiro said looking out the window.

"Why would you say that?" Sora asked him sitting next to Yamato.

"For one, he's more observant and analytical than he used to be. He found out what I was hiding from everyone the day I got the e-mail with just a simple facial expression. It's a huge leap from how he made decisions before when we were kids."

Everyone started thinking about what Koushiro said and Yamato had a revelation. Koushiro nodded and looked at his friend.

"So you noticed something to." Koushiro said. Hikari looked at Yamato still with that surprised expression.

"What's wrong Yamato?"

"I remember the day when Sora and I started dating, we never told anybody about it but the next day in class Taichi stood up next to me in class and said, 'Sora doesn't like flowers that much. Since you two are together I thought you should know it. I think you don't know it's her birthday tomorrow so try buying her something simple for now.' After that, he left and went out the room. I was a little surprised when he found out. It was impossible for him to even find out about it." Sora looked at Yamato and took out her phone with a Piyomon keychain.

Takeru suddenly stood up. "Takeru is everything alright?" Takeru looked down on the ground and then looked at Hikari.

"I remember Taichi talked to me the day before you went to the dark ocean." Hikari looked shocked but asked what his brother said.

"He said, 'Something's wrong with Hikari, I'm going to depend on you to protect her.' I asked him why he wouldn't just help you himself but looked at me coldly and replied, 'I would if it was needed. Besides, don't you want to protect her?' Then he left. The next day, you were sent to the dark ocean and I saved you."

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Hikari asked Takeru.

"Because it was to unreal for me at the time. And the thought that he didn't save you himself was very unlike him I thought you wouldn't believe me. Even though, Taichi made me stronger that day. If he wasn't there to tell me those words, I wouldn't have been able to help you." Hikari looked at his companion suddenly blushing. Daisuke saw Hikari blushing and steam came out of his ears. When Hikari saw Daisuke she stopped blushing and ignored Daisuke's glare for a bit.

"So he's been like this even before our last adventure." Koushiro started thinking of theories when suddenly someone knocked at Jou's door. "Who's there?" Jou asked.

"I know everyone's there Jou, let me in."

"Taichi!" Jou ran to the door and opened it. Everyone was shocked at Taichi who was walking inside the house. He sat down on the ground and looked at everybody. He scratched his head and said, "If you guys want to talk about me, you just need to ask." Everyone looked at him still with that shocked face. Koushiro was the first one to speak up.

"Taichi, how did you know?"

"Hikari had only one reason to leave the house and that was to talk to anyone of you. I wasn't invited so I bet you were talking about me."

"That's amazing how you thought of that. But why did it take you that long to discover it?" Koushiro replied.

"I knew about it the moment Hikari left without telling me. The reason why I got here late was because I was collecting my thoughts. It took me some weeks to analyze everything. Sorry Hikari if I didn't tell you." Hikari looked at his brother a little disappointed.

"You worried me."

"I know, but I was too deep in my thoughts that I didn't realize my own surroundings." Taichi also showed a sign of disappointment on his face.

"Wait, Taichi what were you thinking of? It took you two weeks to finally analyze everything. It must be important." Iori looked at Taichi a little curious. Taichi smiled at him then looked at everyone seriously.

"After our visit and the event where I literally lost it… sorry for that Yamato." Yamato looked at his friend a little annoyed. "It's all right Taichi, you didn't know what you were doing." Taichi looked at him.

"Actually, I knew what I was doing. I fully understood the situation and I acted like that because of my emotions. From what I theorized, this ability moves with how the person using it acts. That's why I said sorry." Yamato looked a little scared but shook it off and accepted Taichi's apology. He thought their friendship was more important than having a grudge against him.

"Anyways, after we found out the back story of why origin is absorbing digimon energy I knew something was wrong. I was never that annoyed in my life."

"What do you mean by something wrong? Does that mean you don't believe in Gennai's story?" Koushiro said. Everyone looking at him then back at Taichi.

"Gennai lied to us yes. Let me explain why I believe so. First of all, that's one crazy digimon. He wouldn't just get angry by getting locked up. And from what I've seen, he wasn't concealed at all. If Origin was concealed, I would think that he wouldn't even be able to do much harm to the digital world or even contact me through a dream. Plus, no matter how strong it was, if you conceal a digimon it can't use its abilities outside of the barrier. So if Gennai said that this digimon was concealed, wouldn't it be stupid to think that it was his doing? So why did Gennai tell us that it was him knowing that Origin was concealed in the first place?"

Everyone agreed still confused with some of the details. Hikari looked at his brother.

"So you're saying that Gennai is hiding something from us?"

"Precisely, man now I know what Koushiro feels like. Anyways, now that I know Gennai lied to us, I laid out some theories as to why he would lie about this important matter. I believe that Origin being an apprentice to Gennai is true considering the picture they had together. But there was something that happened between Gennai and Origin. Most of Gennai's story was factual but that moment when he said Origin lost it, it didn't make sense that he would lose it at that moment."

"But Origin lost it because he did something wrong right?" Hikari said looking at his brother.

"No, if Origin was to get disappointed, why didn't he lose it the time he actually accidentally killed those SkullGreymons?"

"That is true, Gennai did say that he called for their help before he lost it." Miyako said looking down on the ground.

"It would only mean that Origin had the ability to control his powers from the beginning." Taichi said stopping for a moment and started walking.

"T-taichi, where are you going?" Jou asked his friend unsure what he was about to do. Taichi looked at him quizzically saying, "To the bathroom, I jugged a ton of water before going here."

Jou sighed in relief. "I thought…" he was cut off when Taichi said, "Yeah I know what you thought. I guess it can't be helped." Everyone stared at each other with concern and sat there in silence.

A few minutes later Taichi rejoined his friends and looked at them. "I know what you're all thinking and I'm doing my best not to reactivate it again so please stop giving me that look." Everyone took their eye off Taichi. "So as I was saying, Origin can control his powers. If that's true, then he's lurking everywhere in the digital world and probably also in the real world." Taichi stopped talking for a while. Then Koushiro opened his laptop and started typing. Taichi's eyes opened wide and looked at Koushiro's laptop.

"That e-mail…" Koushiro looked at Taichi who was looking at his laptop. "I see…"

"Koushiro, look for the emails Gennai sent us." Koushiro nodded and opened his email. Daisuke looked annoyed and Taichi noticed this.

"Daisuke? What the heck, you've had that face since I came here. Did I do something wrong?" Daisuke looked at his former soccer leader and shook his head.

"It's not that! It's just that…" Daisuke's eyes looked the other way and Taichi followed his eyes seeing Hikari and Takeru together. He giggled a bit. "What's so funny Taichi?"

"Kids these days…" Taichi said messing up Daisuke's hair. Some of them giggled at the sight. Just then, Taichi looked at Mimi giggling to.

"You've been quiet for a while… Did you get anything I said earlier?" he said caringly to her. Mimi looked a bit embarrassed as she stared at Taichi.

"Of course I did! I just don't have anything to say about the situation…" She looked away from Taichi but then looked back seeing Taichi still looking at her and then looked away once again.

"I found the e-mail Gennai sent… what the?" Koushiro looked confused as he continued to scroll down the screen. Taichi looked at his friend and said, "That mail is gone isn't it?" Koushiro looked at his friend and nodded. "Forgive me Taichi…"

"It's alright. It only makes my theories more realistic. By that I mean that the emails weren't sent by Gennai."

"What do you mean by that Taichi?" Ken asked the older digidestined.

"It means that everything I've told you so far, everything I've thought of are starting to make its conclusion."

Everyone looked at Taichi now focused at what he is going to say next.

"If I'm correct the first e-mail is still their right Koushiro?"

"Yes it is."

"If you read it, you would notice that the first part of the e-mail and the following parts are very disturbing."

"What do you mean?" Mimi asked. Taichi smiled at her and looked at everybody. "When you entered Gennai's house, who did you first see?"

"Our partners." Iori replied.

"Now, if I ask you where they were when we were discussing about Origin, can you answer?" everyone's eyes opened wide.

"You're right Taichi, after our digimons hugged us we never actually saw our partners anymore." Koushiro said.

"So if they, our partners, weren't there then could that mean that they were…" Hikari was cut off by Daisuke and Ken who both spoke at the same time saying, "Illusions!"

"Right, the digimons we saw in Gennai's house were illusions. But why would they only be illusions? So I thought about the e-mail Gennai sent. His words on the first part was asking us not to go to the digiworld but the next sentences seemed to show a sign of threatening us."

"So what do you suppose is happening Taichi?" Yamato asked now more curious than ever.

"Everything that Gennai said was stupid. But not only that, his actions were also very confusing. First of all, if Gennai couldn't send an email from the beginning, why did he insist on writing an e-mail but didn't even try to send our digimon to contact us knowing the digi gates work fine. I realized that when Gennai was apparently able to send us a portal from our world."

Everyone was confused as to what Taichi was saying but realizing that it all started to make more sense they sat quietly and continued listening.

"Now we find out that an e-mail specifically sent to me was deleted… but why? It said not to tamper with things that aren't to be tampered with. It doesn't make sense!"

Then Taichi had a huge revelation and continued talking. He formed a fist with his right hand and slammed it on the plam of his left hand.

"It's just like the old days. Oh you annoying old man! When I saw the shocked face Gennai showed when he looked at the crest, the e-mail started to make no sense to me. Why would he be shocked when he sent an e-mail making it look like he knew about it? Then I thought the e-mail was taken out to make sure no suspicion was made against someone. Since Gennai would usually give us hidden messages, he knew someone from our group would find out about it sooner or later. Funny thing is, I did find out the hidden meaning."

"So that was a code? But how did you end up with that conclusion?" Koushiro asked.

"That's what took me a while to get here. If you read it literally, it would mean to ignore things you weren't supposed to know in the first place. If it was a message from Gennai, it would mean something deeper than that."

Hikari gasped. "Do you mean that something happened to Gennai?"

"Precisely. It would mean he was hiding somewhere when he sent this. He wants us to know something. Something that can help us in this predicament at hand. If that's true, then that means the Gennai we saw was fake." Taichi sat quietly.

"Th-that's amazing…" Daisuke said in awe hearing all of those words come out from Taichi.

"If that's true Taichi… then who was the person we were talking to in Gennai's house?" Yamato asked him. Koushiro left his computer on the ground.

"There's no one else to suspect but…" suddenly, a light flashed from Koushiro's laptop. Everyone covered their eyes when they suddenly saw a hand appear from the laptop.

"What the-" Taichi didn't get to finish his sentence when he suddenly felt something pierce him from behind hitting his heart. Everyone ignored the light as they saw something more painful. Taichi was motionless, bleeding with his eyes wide opened. Hikari let a tear fall from her eyes.

"T-taichi…" she said as tears continued coming out from her eyes. Taichi then moved. Hikari saw this then Taichi suddenly said something.

"F-find G-genai…" he let out one more smile to everyone before his eyes turned dull and his whole body stopped moving.

"TAICHI!" Hikari screamed as the light started surrounding the whole area. The next thing they knew, Taichi wasn't with them anymore and they were in Gennai's house once again.

"N-no… what j-just happened?" Mimi was on her knees. Hikari who was being comforted by Takeru was whimperign.

"T-taichi's dead?" everyone heard a familiar voice talk to them. They looked around and saw a digimon appear from the door.

"Agumon?"

END OF CHAPTER SIX

Author's note:

Yeah I think no one really expected that it was going to turn out like this. I didn't expect this to happened to actually but the idea just came to me. It shocked me that it ended like this but I hope you still enjoyed it. (I hope)

Thank you for reading this chapter, my longest so far.

Hope to see you next chapter also. ^_^
