Warning: This is a Yaoi/Yuri story. In other words, this has boyxboy love. I don’t care what you think about such things, I do ask that if you don’t like it, don’t read it. DUH!! Don’t send flames, I will delete them immediately. This story is not centered around Taichi and Yamato as much as my last one. This is part of a series, if you read the other parts you may understand this one a little better. Thanks.

This story is supposed to come after both A Day in the DigiWorld and Digital Reunion. Some parts in this story will only make sense if you have read A Day in the DigiWorld and Digital Reuion. If you have read both A Day in the DigiWorld and Digital Reuion, I hope you have also read Never Leave Me (the one before). If you haven’t, well, that’s your problem and you can try to figure out what is happening. I am using the Japanese names for the humans. This is part three! If you didn’t read parts one and two, you’re stuck! Go read ‘em!

DISCLAIMER: (I hate this >_<) Digimon does sooo not belong to me. Don’t sue. Yamachi, Taito, most of their friends, the Digimon of most of their friends (not Osamu’s Digimon), Meko, Mara, Hamilton, the evolutions of the Mysterious Five (not their rookie forms mind you, I found those on the D-terminal toy), Lady Miyotismon (sort of, I found the idea for her in the story of someone else!), Sarah, Sari, & Doommon and his forms are all mine. The Digidestineds’ kids crests were my idea, but I won’t take the crests (‘cause I got the ideas for a few of them from other sites ^_~). The poem Flyin’ By Some More is mine. Don’t steal it! Thanks again!

Family Finds The Way
41 years after 02
Part three of four
By Katmon =^.^= Ichijouji

______________________________________________________________________________

Flyin’ By Some More
Light in my eyes,
Sleepin’ so peacefully
. I yell at him,
He takes me on a trip.
I forget myself,
And find a brother.
Two will die,
From the darkest light.
Bring them back,
With a word,
A chant.
Family finds the way.
~Katmon =^.^=

______________________________________________________________________________

It was morning when I awoke. I could tell by the sun coming through the window. We were in the cottage of a friend of Sarah’s.

After Yamato had pulled me out the door, we had run through the desert. Into the woods and to the cottage in side ‘em. Sarah had knocked on the door and an older lady had opened it. The lady gave us beds and promised food when we got up, since we were all so tired that all we wanted to do was sleep, and we gladly accepted. We had all gotten in bed, and then fallen asleep.

Well, now it’s morning, and I for one am starving! I looked over at Yamato’s sleeping form as I got up and went to the partly open door. I leaned against the door and sniffed the air. Something smelled wonderful! My stomach growled and I headed the direction the smells were coming from.

I walked to the kitchen and was quickly ushered to a seat and served. “Thank you. It looks good.” I commented and got a smile from both ladies. Then I started eating.

When I had finished that plate the other lady, Sari, took it and gave me a new one. “Hungry, young men are dangerous.” She commented with a laugh.

“He’s a bottomless pit, too. And those are worse. I should know, I’ve had to feed two of them for years.” Yamato said from the doorway. Sari had given him a nice blue shirt to wear. I hopped up and gave him a small hug. He yelped in pain.

“Yamato,” I grumbled under my breath as I lead the older man to a chair. “Shirt off.” I ordered. He did so, blushing. “YAMATO!!” I yelled at him. The bandage on his chest was soaked in blood, again. He had let the wound open, then hadn’t told anyone.

Sari came over with her med bag and looked at the bandage. She whistled. “You did a number to that. The bandage needs to be changed, but I don’t have the tools or the experance to do that without having it go everywhere. In other words, if I change that you may die.”

I swollowed hard and looked at Yamato. His calm face drove me nuts. I looked down at where his two crests hung. *Wait a minute! Two crest?!* “Freedom,” I whispered.

Yamato smiled and looked down at his second crest. The crest that had made him and Taichi famous, let them marry, and brought peace to our world. He reached up and grabbed it. “Taichi contacted me last night and gave it to me, as well as these.” He brought his Digivice and D-terminal out and showed them to me. The two ladies just stared. “No, they don’t work. We checked. Yamachi, we aren’t in our world.”

“I had noticed.” I remarked dryly.

“Nor are we in the DigiWorld.” He finished. I just stared. So did the ladies.

Sarah spoke. “How did you contact your friend?”

“They’re more than just friends.” I told her and jumped out of Yamato’s reach. Sari shot me a look that clearly said ‘sit down.’ I did.

“Taichi and I are close. We’ve been friends for years. We also share a crest. We are the only two of our people who do at the moment.”

“Does everyone have a crest on your world?” Sari asked.

Yamato nodded. “Taichi and I each have two crests because we each had one before we got the Crest of Freedom some years ago. My other is Friendship.”

“Wow. What’s yours, Yamachi? Do you even have one?” Sarah asked me.

I frowned and pulled my crest from under my shirt. I showed it to her. “This is the Crest of Innocence. It’s mine.”

“Although he hardly deserves it.” Yamato mumbled under his breath. The ladies giggled. I glared at him.

I suddenly remembered something. “Psychemon! What ‘bout our Digimon?”

“We kinda forgot. Sorry. I’ll see if I can grab him.” Yamato closed his eyes and concintrated.

Then, suddenly, he burst out laughing and opened his eyes. “Maybe I’ll warn him first next time. He spilled milk on his suit.” We all burst out laughing. When we had calmed down he closed his eyes again.

Suddenly, two Digimon appered and Yamato slumped down in the chair. The two ladies stared, wide-eyed at the two new arrivels. Psychemon and I hugged. Then I noticed Gabumon standing over Yamato.

I jumped up to check on him. I grabbed his hand and found myself next to him, staring at Taito, who was holding Taichi’s hand.We both let out a yell and let go of our favorite father’s hand.

I opened my eyes and grabbed my Digimon in fright. “I’m not doing that again. I’m not doing that again. I’m not doing that aga.. Ahh!” I jumped and ran into my room when someone touched my shoulder. When I got to my bed I hid under the covers. *Okay, that was scary. Too scary for me.*

I heard voices in the kitchen, then someone walkin’ ‘long the hallway. That someone was soon after in the room. Then, they was in the bed. *It’s Father Yamato.* I jumped into his arms and cried.

When I had calmed down some he losened me arms from ‘round his waist and looked my in da eyes. “What’s wrong, Yamachi? You look like you just saw a ghost.”

“F-father Taichi... and... and... T-t-taito... and we was... f-fl-floatin’. We was floatin’, Father Yamato! We was just floatin’ in nofin’ness! Nofin’ness. Nofin’ness.” I started sobbin’ ‘gain.

“Psychemon, can you do anything?” Father Yamato asked someone. Psychemon is me Digimon.

I looked up, tears fallin’ down me cheeks, and caughts sight o’ me Digimon. “P-psychemon?! But, you ‘possed to be in da DigiWorld. ‘Less... Taito! Where’s Taito?! Where’s Yamachi’s brofher?! Does Taito’s gots a headsache? Taito! Where is yous?!” Suddenly, we was in da nofin’ness again. “HELPS!! Father Yamato, helps!” I tried, desperately, to grab Father Yamato, but he pushed mes away.

I turned around to find where I was goin’, and caught sight o’ Taito. “Taito!!” He looked up and we ran, odd as it may seem, into each others arms. He caught me up in a big brother hug.

“Yamachi, we are brothers. Whether we’re blood or not doesn’t matter, ‘cause we are at heart.”

“We are Family!” I shouted.

A breeze started up and whipped our hair and clothes around. A bright light surounded us, a beam breaking away to hit our crests. Then, amazing as it may seem, our tags and crests doubled. The light soften, then went away, leaving us, staring at our new crests. They were the same.

“Family,” I whispered in awe.

My brother nodded, slowly. “Family,” We smiled and grabbed hands again.

~

We returned to the cottage, together. Yamato and Taichi each had a hand on our shoulders. I saw our Digimon standing at our feet, looking up at us. Then I noticed it. “Yamato,” I whispered. “Your chest. The bandage and wound are gone.” We stared at where the red cloth had once been. There wasn’t even a scar.

Taichi drew his finger along Yamato’s chest, making Yamato shiver. His finger’s course ended where the two crests hung from Yamato’s neck. “And we each have our own Crest of Freedom.” Taichi whispered, fingering his own two crests.

“And we are all in one place, together, not inbetween!” Taito cried happily.

“Family hug!” I shouted and we all met in a hug, laughing softly.

I looked up to see Sarah and Sari at the door. Then surprised even myself. “I said, ‘Family hug,’ yet you two aren’t hugging.”

Sari stared at me intently. “H-h-how... did you find out?” She asked, her voice shaking.

“We are Family.” My brother said simply, walking up behind me and putting a hand on my shoulder.

“This is Taito, my brother.” I informed the women. They watched us. I turned to our fathers. “And Taichi, my other father.”

Sarah put a hand on her head, walking out the room. Sari sat on one of the chairs, a dazed look coming over her face. “That is nice to know.” She commented quietly. We laughed.

~

Later that afternoon, we were sitting in the main room of the cottage.Yamato had the blue shirt back on. (Actually, Taichi told him to go put it on.) Our Digimon were sitting next to us. We trading stories.

“...And I worry about my Lady. That man looked evil.” Sarah was saying.

“He was. That was Myotismon.” Taito and I replied in unison. Everyone stared.

“Well he was,” I said pointedly.

“You can see the family ties.” Taito finished.

“We have each others memories now.” I explained.

“Ah. Then maybe you can tell us what happened six years ago.” Yamato commented. I shook my head. Now that I knew what had happened, I understood why my brother and his friends had kept it a secret. The two older men sighed.

‘Boom! Boom!Boom!’ Someone banged on the door. Taito and I got up and snuck to the back of the cottage with our two Digimon. Taichi, Yamato, their Digimon, and Sarah followed. Sari opened the door, and screamed.

Silence.

Taito and I had grasped hands. We didn’t tell Sarah what happened. We didn’t say who was at the door. We didn’t say a thing, because we didn’t need to.

“Crimson Lightning!” A red beam slashed the wall in front of us. I heard Yamato, Taichi, and their Digimon gasp in recognition. It was Myotismon.

“I’ll go see where they are, father. There’s no point in bringing the house down around our ears. I would perfer to live for a few more years if I could.” said Lady Myotismon.

“I don’t remember you saying that when I first told you to come and look for those pains.”

“So I was wrong. I’m looking.” I heard the click of her heels on the wooden floor. Then she came into view. She looked straight at our group, and walked down the hall the other way. It took all four of us to hold Sarah back. She wanted, desperately, to talk to Lady Myotismon, but she couldn’t. Lady Myotismon shoed us down the hall, the opposite way she was going, by waving her hand behind her back. She was giving us our chance. We took it.

The nine of us walked backwards, to the back door, and got out. But before any of us could stop her, Sarah ran to the front door, Taito, Snowagumon, Psychemon, and I ran after her.

She turned the corner, and screamed. We followed her, and found her standing over her mother’s lifeless body, staring at Myotismon in fear. Myotismon laughed as we ran to stand it front of the two women, one alive, one dead. “Two of the Digidestined brats. This is my lucky day!”

“Why do you say that, Myotismon?” I asked.

“Why, now I can destroy you both, at the same time!” He replied, laughing again.

We snorted. “Fat chance! We plan on staying right here! And you aren’t going anywhere or doing anything until we say so! Family rules all!” Taito and I shouted, our voices twisting around each other.

Taichi and Yamato choose that moment to run around the corner, closely followed bt their Digimon. “Family is stronger together!” They grabbed our hands. Sarah grabbed Sari’s, then Yamato’s, who was holding his free hand out to her. A wind started, flying around at high speeds, whipping our hair and clothing around us. But we didn’t seem to notice the wing threating to blow us all away, we were too busy concentrating on what had to be done to save Sari’s life, and change Myotismon, for good.

“Psychemon!”

“Snowagumon!”

“Digivolve!”

“Psychemon, warp digivolve to... Metal Psychemon!”

“Snowagumon, warp digivolve to... Snow War Greymon!”

“Metal Psych Claw!”

“Ice Force!”

The two attacks intertwined, like our voices had, and raced toward Myotismon. Two attacks that would have destroyed him, had it not been for Lady Myotismon, his only daughter.

“NO!!” She screamed, jumping before the blast, and reciving it in her chest. She fell to the ground, in front of her father, her dead body limp. Myotismon knelt beside her, tears falling down his cold face in the first time since she was born.

Sarah, Taichi, and Yamato dropped hands as Taito and I stepped forward, the two megas watching over us. “What do you feel, Myotismon?” We asked.

He looked up, his cold eyes soft and brimming with tears. “I-I-I’m not sure. I... She wasn’t supposed to jump before me! She died to save me, even thought I never showed my love. I’m a montser! You have the damn chance! Kill me! Please. All I want is to be with my baby.” He looked back down, his evil courage gone.

“Myotismon, did you truely love her? Would you give your life for her, if you could, like she did for you?” We asked, already knowing the answer.

He looked back up at us, his face stained with tears, but hard once again. “I have always loved her. And I would give anything to have her back, even if that meant never seeing her again.” He said, speaking from the heart he had once hidden.

We smiled. “You may see her again, if you speak the truth.” His eyes were filled with true gratitude, for the first time in years. His heart reached out to us, his trust was lent, his courage true. We turned to the sky, the wind whipping about again. Making hard to hear the chant that filled the air. But all heard it, as we cryed the long lost words;

“Right these wrongs,
Make them right.
Loved have died,
Souls changed.
Two lives are lost,
For a long ‘go wrong.
Let them live,
And make him strong!”

~

As the chant echoed through out the heavens, a woman looked down, listening. She turned to the two souls behind her. “They have called. Return.” She turned to watch the two young men fall in a dead faint, and two once dead awaken.

“Be strong. We will meet soon, Saru and Mujitsu.” The woman whispered. Then she turned and walked away, a small fariy type Digimon following her.

~

The wind stopped as we fainted, our last ounce of strength gone.

Wheeeeee! End o’ part three! One more part to go!

Eheh... ^_^” Don’t ask about the silent lady. She won’t turn up again in any of these fics for a while. The names she used will be explained in the next one! (Just, you’ll have to wait a chapter or so.) As for when the two got their other crest, ‘Taito gots a headsache?’ is originally from Day in the DigiWorldYamachi talks like that ‘cause he was remembering when he was younger, he talked that way before these kids were brought into the stories! The Crest of Family is bound to do some odd, stupid, even weird things between now and when these stories dissapper! Expect it!

I meant for this fic to be centered around Yamachi and his friends, like it was with Taito! ^_^” Guess what!! It didn’t happen! ^_^”

Yes, I know. I made Myotismon seem like a wuss. WHICH HE IS!!! SO DON’T FLAME ME ABOUT THAT!!!! Things will cool down some in part four, but not much! Like I said, expect the crest to do a lot of weird things! (It was bound to happen sometime!)

Gtg! Pains arriving!
