Miracles Happen in the Strangest Ways
Notes: My first Digimon fic, don't know if it's going to be Yaoi or not. I'll admit, I stole some ideas from other fics. Sorry about that, it's just you get me thinking and then ARGH! So, if you see anything you recognize, I'm just borrowing it. I make no claim.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, I don't own A Digimon, I don't even own half this plot! Ah well, a girl can dream, can't she? (I don't think I even own that DISCLAIMER! Oi.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "My God, Tai. You're such a jerk!" Matt shouted just before he pounced on the other boy. Tai growled low in his throat as he was attacked, but fought just as fiercely back. While Matt had punched him in the jaw, he aimed for the blonde's stomach. However, Matt twisted out of the way in time, with only a glancing blow to his side as a reward. Soon the boys were locked in a rough scuffle and rolling on the desert floor.
Sora sighed. This was the third time this week that the two boys had started a fight. On Monday, it had been about whether the whole group would stick together to find food for the night, seeing as it was safer (Matt's opinion), or whether they should send two or three people out, because then it would be easier (Tai's idea). In the end, they had fought so long that everyone was too tired to look, and the group had to go hungry.
On Wednesday, they had come to a fork in the road. One way led to an eerie-looking village, the other to a spooky- looking forest. Tai thought they should go through the forest, because it was the quickest way to their destination, the ocean. Matt wanted to go to the village to stock up on supplies like food and medicine. They ended up compromising that they would ignore the road and head through a grassy plain instead. It had been one boiling walk.
Now it was Saturday, the end of the week, and the two were at it again, this time about whether they should rest in a cave they found to escape the heat of the day (Matt), or whether they should go on to reach Puppetmon's forest by evening. They had gotten lost, you see, on the way to Piedmon's world, and had tried to backtrack. Except they ended up right back where they started the whole thing, Shellmon's beach.
Sora personally wanted to go on, but one look around her told her that she was the only one. Mimi was fanning Palmon and herself with her hat, sweating like crazy. Tentomon was trying his hardest to cool Izzy down with his wings, but it wasn't working. Gomamon was laying in Joe's arms, to dehydrated to move. Both TK and Kari were lying against each other, breathing heavily with their exhausted Digimon resting in their laps. Agumon seemed the only one who could take the heat, but he was a fire lizard, so that wasn't surprising. Poor Gabumon was practically dying in that big fur of his. He was lying on the ground, panting. And her own Biyomon was lying against her leg, weakly fanning herself with a wing.
That did it. They needed to make a decision, and NOW!
"Alright!" She screamed. Immediately, both boys froze and everyone else looked up. Sora fumed, "That does it! You two have been constantly fighting all week! I am sick and tired of watching you act like children!" Both TK and Kari huffed at this, but she ignored them. Instead she continued to glare at the holders of Courage and Friendship, "You need to come to a compromise. Personally, I think we should go into that cave, because everyone here is dying of heat! Tai, I'm ashamed of you!" She shouted, turning on their 'leader' with fire in her eyes, "You're fighting in front of your little sister, setting a bad example for her! Plus, I would think you'd be worried for her heath, seeing as last time she walked through a desert, she almost died of a fever!" She snuck a glance at the youngest girl. She seemed a bit indignant, but also understanding. Then it was Matt's turn.
"And you, Matt!" He flinched at her shout, "You're the holder of Friendship! Yet you fight with your friends every chance you get. You're also setting a bad example for TK." A snort came from the Keeper of Hope, but that was it. Sora went on, "Plus, your Digimon had practically passed out in the heat, I would think-" she never finished the sentence. There was a cry of surprise from Agumon, and then one of horror from Matt. Then he was gone from her sight. She turned around and found him cradling Tsunomon, the others crowded around him. The In-Training form was gasping from the heat, and Matt was filled with fear. The Keeper of Love's anger all died away at the look on his face. It was one of despair. She sighed again, and then turned to the brunette still cowering below her. He may have had the crest of Courage, but even the bravest of men knew their life was in danger when Sora was angry with them.
"Come on Tai, let's get everyone into that cave," she said quietly, and he nodded. Sora reached out a hand, and he took it. Still a bit nervous, Agumon's partner rubbed the back of his neck. Sora smiled, "Sorry for yelling at you guys. But every word I said was true, and it needed to be said," Tai just nodded again, and suddenly, the awkwardness evaporated. The two Digidestined soon walked over to the group.
"Come on guys, we need to get out of this sun," Tai ordered. Mimi and Izzy both looked up, but everyone else kept their eyes on Tsunomon. Tai frowned, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Tsunomon will be okay as long as we all get to that cave over there!" the group jumped, and soon everyone complied. Everyone that is, except Matt.
"Hey Matt, we're going into the cave, just like you wanted," Tai whispered to the taller boy. Matt seemed to be in some kind of trance. Tai tried waving his hand in front of Matt's face. The result was a hard punch to his cheek. He landed a few feet away, half from the strength of the hit, half from surprise. He looked up at Matt to see the coldest, most furious look in his eyes. The only time he had ever seen the blonde like this was when Cherrymon had tricked him into thinking that Tai was his enemy and had to be destroyed.
"This isn't over," Matt hissed in a voice as cold as his eyes, then stomped off to the cave. Tai sat there for a moment, then slowly got up and began to follow him. When both boys' had finally joined up with the others, the punch Matt had given him had turned a nasty black. However, all the others knew better than to ask. And yet, someone still asked, "Ouch kid, what did you do to yourself?"
It took them five seconds to realize the voice belonged to none of them.
They weren't alone.
