Chapter Four: Confession

"Okay, before we reach the top, you have to close your eyes."

"All right T.K." The young couple started up the slope. They were nearing the top, and the brunette shut her eyes tight. The boy hesitantly grabbed her wrist, and helped her the rest of the way up, and then to an edge.

"All right, open your eyes."

The girl opened her eyes slowly, and gazed out at the sight in front of her. She stood there for a moment, and then spoke. "Oh, T.K., it's beautiful. The fiery sky, the rays from the setting sun causing the river to glisten, the blue of twilight touching the corners of the sky…." She twisted around and hugged the boy whom she has loved since she first met him, now believing what Sora had told her, `and I think he likes you too…' The idea was enough to make her heart pound, and now… She felt a gentle hand stroke her auburn hair.

"Uh, Kari, I…I…love you."

"You do?"

"With all my heart."

"Oh, T.K." The auburn haired girl pulled in the blonde boy for a kiss.

Once they had stopped, T.K. spoke. "I guess I should've listened to Tai."

"Ha ha."

"How long have you felt this way?"

"Since I met you."

"Same here. Since I met you, I knew we were destined, for eternity." The two new lovers went in for another kiss, deeper and more passionate than can be expressed in words.



Meanwhile, another DD was going through a similar course of events.

"Were are you taking me?"

"Just walk."

"Fine."

The two walked quietly up the slope, `till the brown-haired boy spoke up. "Close your eyes and give me your hand." The boy extended his arm.

"Why?"

"Because."

"All right." The red haired girl behind him took his hand and shut her eyes.

The boy led her up the slope, onto the wide space. `She'll love it.' The cliff overlooked a wide field, the setting sun's rays igniting the sky, with bits of twilight entering at the edges. "Open your eyes."

"Okay…Oh, Tai." Her ruby eyes surveyed the site, taking her breath away. "It's so, so…Thanks." The beautiful young-woman hugged her best friend.

"Um, Sora."

"Yeah Tai?"

"I, kinda', sorta' love you."

"You do?"

"Yeah. If you don't feel the same way, I guess we can still be friends."

"I don't want to stay friends," the boy turned away his head, saddened and angry at himself for ruining there friendship. "Because I love you too." The boy turned, stared into the girl he loves eyes.

"You…you do?"

"With all my heart."

"Sora…" the boy grabbed his friend, who's now more, and kissed her with all the passion he could muster, and more.

"Tai…I love you. I always have, and I always will."

"Same here, Sora." The two friends walked down the slope.



Tai and Sora walked back to the campsite. But Tai didn't realize he still had his arm around Sora's waist.

"Oh hey guys…HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Matt burst out laughing.

"What's so funny Matt?"

"You two!"

Tai looked down and saw his arm around Sora's waist, and quickly pulled it away. "Eh heh, what do you mean?"

"Yeah Matt. What DO you mean?"

"He had his arm around Sora's waist."

"Like YOU have your arm around Jenn's waist?"

"Um…um…um…uh…yeah?"

"Matt 's got a crush on Jenn." T.K. and Kari had walked back after some *cough* private time. The two were still holding hands (audience: Awwwww, how sweet. Y.M.: SHUT UP!).

"Well, you've apparently got a crush on Kari." Matt smirked.

"Yes I do." T.K. kissed Kari on the cheek. Kari blushed and giggled.

"Well, that's three couples."

"Make that four." Every one looked at Tai and Sora. "Yes, I admit it. We are a couple." Tai and Sora sat down, and Sora snuggled up next to Tai.

"Well, who else is there?"

"What do you mean?"

"We're not leaving until every boy has found a girl and vice-versa."

"WHAT!"

"We're not leaving here till everyone has found someone else. Izzy, go back to the cabin and get sleeping bags and tents. They're in the closet next to the boys room."

"Roger. Um, Yolei, digiport please. I'll also need you to find her laptop."

"Right, Izzy. Digiport, open!" The two were sucked into the laptop.

"I hope Izzy will be loyal."

"Don't worry, Mimi. Izzy isn't a player."

"You're right, Sora. He wouldn't cheat on me. I mean, why have hamburger when you can have steak?"

"You're absolutely right, Mimi. You're a great person. Izzy couldn't find better."

"Well, he could find you, Sora."

"Tai…thanks."

"It's about time you two got together."

"What do you mean, Mimi?"

"It's been so obvious you two liked each other. Same for you two." Mimi pointed to T.K. and Kari. Kari was currently resting her head on T.K.'s shoulder. "Young love."

T.K. mouthed `shut up', but didn't say anything. Kari had fallen asleep. The boy simply put his arm around the young girl's shoulder. She smiled lightly.

Tai looked at the two and nodded to T.K. T.K. winked back.

"Hey Tai, I've been wondering. Why were T.K. and Kari on the same hill we were?"

"Um…um…." Just at that moment, Izzy and Yolei flew out of the laptop, followed by rolled-up sleeping bags and tents.

"Hi!"

"Kelly, you need to get a carpet in front of your computer. Who knows when we might want to visit. Oh, by the way, we could only find eight tents. Though there were sixteen sleeping bags."

"Well, we'll just have to share, won't we."

"But, how will we decide?"

"Well, all the couples, and we'll draw names to find out the rest. T.K., your hat."

"Just be careful with it. Kari got it for me." He gently pulled of his hat and handed it to Kelly.

"Isn't that sweet." She fished some strips of paper out of her pocket and a pencil. "Let's see…Tai, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, Matt, Jenn, T.K. and Kari are couples already. So I'll write down everyone else." She scribbled something down on the pieces of paper. "There. Now, one of the couples should draw." She looked around, and decided on Tai and Sora. "You two."

Tai took the hat. "All right, first is…Kelly, and Davis." Kelly's face lit up. "Next is…Ken and, Yolei." Ken's jaw dropped. "Third…Joe and, Mari." Mari gave a huge smile. "And finally…Cody and, Nikki." The two almost fell over. "Here's your hat, T.K."

"Thanks, Tai."

"You know, Kari was right to pick you. You're a great guy."

"Um, thanks."

"Hey guys, let's tell ghost stories."

"When it gets darker, Mattie."

"You can call me Mattie-chan, if you like, Jenn."

"Okay, Mattie-chan." Jenn giggled. Matt gave her a kiss, on the lips. At first Jenn looked surprised, but then she went with it.

"The way those two flirt, of course Tai and Sora aren't much better."

Tai stopped kissing Sora's neck momentarily, looked quizzically at T.K., and turned back to Sora.

"Shameless." T.K. shook his head lightly and chuckled.

"Stop moving T.K., you're comfy." Kari said groggly.

"Sorry," T.K. whispered, into her ear. Then he whispered something else that made her smile, and she drifted back of to sleep.

"Maybe I was wrong bro, you do know how to talk to a girl."

"It's not hard when you've got one of the best."

"No it isn't."

"Now how would you know, Tai?"

"What was that, Matt?"

"How would you know if it wasn't hard to talk to one of the best girls."

"Don't you talk that way about Sora!" Tai had stood up.

"I can if I want."

Tai swung a punch and sent Matt sprawling back. "I said never talk about Sora that way." He glared at his fallen comrade.

T.K. stared in their direction. "You've got a good right hook."

Sora walked up to Tai and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks."

Tai got a big goofy smile on his face. "Is that all I get?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"If you insist." Sora wrapped her arms around Tai's neck and kissed him on the lips. He pulled her closer.

Eventually, they parted. "Now that's a thank you."

Apparently, they had forgotten the others were still there, because Tai almost got a heart attack when Davis started clapping.

"Quiet Davis." Kari had stirred again. Davis stopped clapping. Davis still had a thing for Kari, but had given up on her once he had heard T.K. let it slip that he liked Kari.

Matt had regained consciousness. "Can we tell ghost stories now?"

"As soon as we get fire-wood and a fire started."

Tai stood up. "I'll go get some."

"I'll come with."

"Okay, Sora. Anyone else?"

"I would, but I don't want to wake sleeping beauty." T.K. pointed to Kari. Tai simply nodded.

"Well, let's go." The couple walked off.

"I wonder if they really are going to get fire wood, or just make-out." Matt smirked.

Kari had finally woken up. "Knowing my brother, both."

"Are you like your brother?"

"Do you wanna' find out." Kari smiled coyly at T.K.

"Ugh, get a room you two."

T.K. stood up. "Fine, we will." The two set up a tent, brought sleeping bags inside, and zipped up the flap. "See ya'."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile, in the woods ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sora! Sora, where'd you go?!" Tai was calling out for his girlfriend. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him. "So…Sora? That you?" Then without warning, he felt two hands grab his sides and start…tickling him.

"Say mercy."

"So…Sora? Pl…please…c…can't…b…breathe…mercy."

Sora let go of her boyfriend, who quickly turned around. "Were you trying to suffocate me?"

Sora looked thoughtful for a moment, and then nodded.

"Well it's my turn now." Tai grabbed her and kissed her. She looked shocked for a moment, but then melted in to the kiss.

Soon they parted. Sora looked dazed, but then spoke. "Well, that was a lot more fun than my way." She smiled at Tai.

"Well, let's get some fire-wood. I want to come back with more than just a good story."

"All right." The two gathered firewood in silence.

`I've got to tell a good scary story. I'm supposed to be the brave one and holder of courage, so I must tell the scariest story ever. And if I get scared, my reputation is over. I must be the scariest!' Tai immediately started to try to remember the scariest story possible.

Meanwhile, Sora was having different thoughts. `Why did Matt have to suggest scary stories. I hate those things. Well, at least I have Tai know. I know he'll protect me. I'm glad I finally admitted my feelings. It would just be unbearable if Tai went with another girl. But Tai's loyal. He'd never cheat on me, or leave me. We have something special. Sure, he's never stayed with one girl long before, but I know this is different.' But then her thoughts changed. `Man, Matt is a jerk. He just insulted me like that. He thinks that Jenn is better than I am. HA! She may be prettier, but I doubt she's as good a person. He just bases on looks, but Tai's not that shallow. He chose me because of who I am not what I look like.'

Tai walked over to Sora. "You look troubled. What's wrong?"

"Well, I've been thinking."

"You?" Tai acted taken aback.

Sora pushed him back playfully. "Stop that."

"Sorry. But really, what's wrong?"

"Well, I don't really like scary stories…."

"Ah, say no more. Don't worry, you've got the Keeper of Courage here to comfort you. Don't worry about it. I'll protect you from bogeymen." Tai hunched his shoulders and wiggled his fingers.

"Thanks." She gave Tai a hug. "You're like a Teddy Bear."

"Don't worry about a thing. Besides, we've got to get back."

The two walked back to camp.
