A few days ago in the Digi world Koushiro had stumbled upon Taichi and Yamoto in a kiss. He was the only one who knew about they're love for each other. They found he knew the next day they agreed not to mention it to anyone. Then when they returned to the Human world...
"Hello Mrs. Kamiya is Taichi home?" Said Yamoto while standing at the front door.
"Yes he is Yamoto, he's in his room."
"Thanks!" He said as he walked off to Taichi's room.
Taichi was sitting on his bed, Kari was at a friends house for the day so he was alone that day. When he saw Yamoto he smiled and said "Hey."
Yamoto smiled back and approached him and they then kissed.
------------------
A Few weeks later...
------------------
Yamoto and Taichi were kissing when Taichi's father had knocked on the door.
"Son! I need to talk to you about something!" He said with a slight amount of anger. Taichi had some concern that they had somehow found out that he loved Yamoto.
"C-coming!" he then walked to the door and opened it. his father then held up a piece of paper, it was a test he had done in school.
"I know you can do better than a D in science!" He said. "If you need help you can always come to me!" He then walked of. Taichi breathed a sigh of relief as he walked back to his room.
About an hour later Kari walked in and looked at Taichi and Yamoto together hugging.
"What are you DOING?!" She shouted not knowing they're love. Taichi looked up in shock as he saw his younger sister looking at him in surprise. Yamoto also looked up at her They both let go of each other.
"Uh.. Kari! When did you get home?" Said Taichi with a hint of worry in his voice.
"J-just now..." She said. "What are you two doing?" She said again.
"Kari... i need to explain something to you..." Taichi said slowly not sure about what to say.
A few minutes later Kari got the picture. "... Kari. Please don't tell Mom and Dad..." Taichi said remembering how they grew up. They grew up in a house that didn't tolerate Yaoi they're parents believed gay people should be kept away from them. But Kari and Tai didn't think that way.
"I wont. I promise." Said Kari, smiling.
"Thanks, Kari! The last thing I want is for Mom and Dad to find out. I don't even want to think about what they would do..." Said Taichi with a slight smile. Then he heard the sound of someone coming along the hall. He hoped that person didn't hear a thing. A little head poked into the room, it was Agumon. Taichi breathed a sigh of relief as Agumon walked in.
"Hi, Tai!" Shouted the little digimon, calling Taichi by his nikname.
"Hi, Agumon. How was it a Koushiro's house?"
"Fine, Tai. Although Koushiro didn't like it when I almost knocked over his computer..." The humans laughed as Agumon walked to the bed. "Tai, what does gay mean?" He said wondering.
"Why do you ask?!"
"I heard you guys talk about it in the hall." Replied the digimon. A feeling of worry fell over Taichi.
"Did my parents hear it too?" He said quickly.
"No, I don't think so." Said Agumon.
"that's a relief..." Said Taichi. He whispered it into Agumons ear.
"Oh..." Said Agumon. "So you love Yamoto?"
"SHH!!!" Taichi shouted. "Don't say that outloud! I don't want my parents to know..."
"Sorry Tai..." Said Agumon sadly.
"It's okay. But don't tell anyone..."
"I won't." Whispered Agumon.

1 Week Later...
-------
Taichi's Mother was making rice in the kitchen when she got a phone call from Yamoto's Mother. "hello?" She said.
"Hello, Mrs. Kamiya? This is Yamoto's mother I was wondering if you knew that Taichi was staying over in our apartment for the night."
"Oh yes. I told Taichi it's okay. Why did you call and ask? Is there something wrong?"
"No, I'm just wondering since Taichi and Yamoto have been seeing each other a lot lately. Well I've got to go. Goodbye." She said as she hung up the phone.
"Each other a lot lately?!" Said Taichi's mother with a worried tone realizing that Yamoto has been over at they're house almost every day. Taichi has also been sleeping over a Yamoto's house once in a while too. She then got a weird thought. She then quickly got it out of her head and continued cooking rice.
Over at Yamoto's house Yamoto was talking to his mother about her recent phone call.
"please tell me didn't mention anything about me being..." Yamoto trailed off.
"I didn't. Taichi told me about how his parents were prejudiced to yaois. I wont mention a thing. Don't worry." Yamoto's mother replied. She knew her son was gay for a few years. She didn't care at all though though her ex-husband did care a lot... "Yamoto... You do you love Taichi?" She said curiously.
"Sort of..." Replied Yamoto quietly.
"Is this why you two have been together so much?" She asked.
Yamoto sighed. "Yes. I think that's how you could put it."
She then looked at him and said. "I think you two should be here if Taichi's parents stumbled upon you two kissing in his room..." She trailed of.
"Your right." Said Yamoto. Taichi then ran into the room.
"Taichi," started Yamoto's mother with a grin. "Have you two been kissing a lot?"
"Ye-- WHAT?" Said Taichi in surprise.
"Don't worry Taichi, she figured it out." Said Yamoto.
"Do you think my parents know?" Taichi said, while sweatdropping.
"I don't think so. But you two should come here more often. Just incase." Said Yamoto's mother.
"Good idea... But wouldn't they get a little suspicious?"
"No. If they ask anything I'll just say you study homework together." She said.
-------
Later that night....
-------
In Taichi's parents bedroom Taichi's mother and Taichi's father were talking about something...
"Have you noticed Yamoto is coming over more often than he used to?"
"Yes, why?" Said Taichi's father.
"I think that one or both of them could be... well... gay."
"WHAT?!" Shouted Taichi's father. "It's probably that little freak Yamoto!" he said. "I will not allow my son to turn out like that!" He then thought for a moment. "I know what I'll do... He likes that young lady Sora, right?"
"Yes, why?"
"I'll make a perfect little 'Date' for them... If he shows interest in her then we'll know he's straight!" Said Taichi's father, proud of his idea.
"What if he doesn't?"
"Then we leave him for adoption or something! I don;t care just as long as he's away from us!" (This is what my cousin's parents actually said!)
Just outside the door Kari was listening in on her parents. "Oh no! Taichi!" she said in a whispered shout. She then ran to the phone and called Yamoto's house. "Hello, Is Taichi there?! This is an emergency! Okay. I'll hold on.... Taichi? Listen! Dad and Mom are on to you and Yamoto. Dad's going to arrange a date with you and Sora act like you show interest or they'll know! Goodbye!" She hung up the phone and hoped everyhtiong would work out right.
The next morning at school Taichi got a note from Sora. he read it outload to Yamoto. "Look at this. It's from Sora. 'Taichi I got your invitation to dinner at the Uuchan's Resturaunt. I accept I'll be there at 8:00 tonite. Love Sora.'"
"Uuchan's? What's this about?" Asked Yamoto.
"Kari called me last night about this.. My dad set this up to test me."
"He did?! They're onto us?!"
"I guess... All I have to do is look like I'm interested in her. After the date I'll tell her the truth..."
"Taichi. In the Digiworld she was in love with you..."
"SHE WAS???!!! Oh no... I can't do this to her... She'd hate me for life." Taichi looked down as he tried to think of osmething. "maybe I could make it look like I'm sick and I can't go on the date?"
"No... Your father would just choose anoher day for it."
"Your right. maybe we should just tell them..."
"Yeah.. that seems to be the only way out..."
-------
Uuchan's Resturuant
-------
Taichi couldn't tell them after Kari mentioned what his father had said. he decided to go on his "Date" and hoped she couldn't come. Sadly to him she did come. He knew he would hate himself when he told Sora the truth. They both sat down at they're tables and ordered some drinks. Taichi noticed his father was at another table, watching him closley.
"Taichi!" Said Sora. "You seem to be upset... Is there something wrong?"
"No nothing at all." Taichi thought for a minute. "I'll be right back!" He then walked over to his father. "Why are you doing this?" He said to his father.
"Doing what?" His father said innocently.
"Spying on me! Why?!" Taichi shouted.
"I'm not spying! I like the Sushi here!"
"Then why haven't you ordered anything in the half hour you've been here?"
"taichi! Go back to your date!" Shouted his father. Taichi walked back to his table.
"taichi, is there something wrong? I'm worried about you..." Said Sora.
Taichi sighed. "I'll tell you outside. Let's go!" They walked out. Taichi's father (Fourtunatly) was in the bathroom at the time.
-------
Outside
-------
Taichi was having trouble speaking since he knew what would happen to Sora. "Sora... I don't know how to say this but... My father planned this date without telling me... To... uh.. Test me... I guess and wel the thing is.."
"I know what your trying to tell me Taichi..." said Sora, sadly. "I had a feeling that was it when you went to your father's table. They'd hate you if they found, wouldn't they?"
"yeah... I'm really sorry Sora..."
"Don't be. Let's act it out as if--" She suddenly Kissed Taichi. Then she stopped. "Sorry, your father was back and he was watching..."
"It's okay. Please don't hate me for this..."
"I don't Taichi. I'll help you. We'll act as if we were in love then you'll be okay."
"Thanks Sora."
"Don't worry about it Taichi. I want to help you." She then walked back into the resturuant. Taichi followed.
The rest of the dinner was simple. They ordered Sushi and occaisionaly they kissed each other. after that they walked to Sora's house and then Taichi went back home.
Yamoto was waiting at the front door. "How did it go?"
"She was upset but she didn't mind.... Much." Said Taichi. "I feel bad about it though..."
Yamoto looked from left to right, checking for anyone who could see. He then kissed Taichi. "Did that make you feel better?"
"A little..." Taichi replied, kissing Yamoto back.
"TAICHI!!" Shouted a voice. His fathers...
Yamoto and Taichi Gasped as out from a corner came Taichi's father. (This is where I use my imagination since my cousin's parents don't know yet) "So... It IS true..." he then glared at Yamoto. "Moron!" he slapped Yamoto, knocking him ot the ground. "YOU probably did this to him!" Taichi father then Grabbed Taichi by the collar.
"Dad... Please stop.." Said Taichi, beginning to choke.
"Don't call me that! You are no longer my son! GET OUT!" He then threw Taichi to the ground. Then he entered his house and slammed the door.
Taichi got up and punded on the door. "DAD! PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!! MOM!! KARI!!! AGUMON!!!" He then heard Kari shout at her father for what he had done. He then heard his fathers response. 'What do you mean by brother? Your our only child!' He then fell to the ground and cried... Yamoto then put his hand on Taichi's shoulder.
"It's my fualt... I'm sorry Taichi."
"No it's no-ones fualt but mine." Said Taichi, still crying.
"Taichi... You can stay at my place." That was all Yamoto said.
"Yamoto... Let's head to your house... I'm not going back here again... I don't have my family anymore." They walked to Yamoto's house.
when they got there Yamoto's father was there with Takeru.
"Yamoto!" Shouted Takeru running to his brother. All Yamoto's father did was glare at Yamoto.
"You can have custody of the kid!" Shouted Yamoto's fatther as he walked off, pushing Yamoto the floor as he walked passed him.
"What's going on?" Said Yamoto.
"Your father had financial trouble... He decided to leave me with Takeru now..."
After Taichi heard that he walked outof the house. He knew that Yamoto's mother could bareley feed Yamoto but with Takeru he knewhe'd be a burden to the family. He then walked and didn't stop. He didn't care where he went he just wanted to be away from everything. He wanted to be away from his family the most... After hours of walking he finaly reached a forrest... Just a large forrest with no people. He then sat down there and thought to himself... later he fell asleep.
A few hours later he woke up and saw a campfire infront of him and then he saw a man, about 23, polishing a sword.
"Good your awake!" Said the man. "I saw you laying here so I thought 'Why not build the fire here to keep this guy warm?' I'm Sid. What's your name?"
"Taichi."
"You lost or something? In my years of travel I haven't seen anyone just laying out in the middle of a forrest..."
"No.. I have nowhere to go. My family threw me out and I'd be a burden to stay at any of my friends houses... I just wanted to get away from everything..."
"Sounds like you had a rough day... I'll boil some tea and you could tell me about it." Sid then put a large metal rack over the fire and put a tea pot on it. He then put his sword down and got some tea cups. A few minutes later he poured the tea and handed one of the cups to Taichi. "So when did all of this start?"
"A about a month ago." Started Taichi. "i was one of these people called the Digi destined." Sid then jumped up in shock.
"THE DIGI DESTINED?!" He Shouted. "I've heard of you guys! I never knew they were real... Go on."
"Well then I discovered I was in love... With a.. guy..." he looked at Sid for any reaction.
"Go on." Said Sid normaly. Not even surprised.
"Then we finaly got back to this world. And well my parents hate gay people... and Today they found out and threw me out...Finaly I was going to stay at a friends house but his family was having problems so I couldn't stay... then I walked for hours until I fell asleep here."
"Interesting...." Replied Sid. "Well if I were you I would head back to your house and tell them to just accept that fact your gay." Sid then sipped some of the tea and continued. "Your still they're son. No matter what."
Taichi got up. "YOur right! Thanks!" He then started to run.
"Stop!" Taichi stopped and looked at Sid. "It's past Midnight. Get some sleep."
"Okay. Sorry about suddenly running off..."
"it's okay." Sid then looked in a large backpack. "Here it is." He then grabbed a large Sleeping bag. "I knew I had an extra somewhere!" He then layed it out by the fire. "You can sleep in this. I'll be up keeping watch. There have been strange monsters appearing everywhere in Japan."
"those are evil Digimon... The Digidestined are supposed to stop them."
"Digimon... I remember them now.. 4 years ago they attacked..." Sid then sat down and thought to himself.
"You were there?"
"Yes... My brother was there too.. he was killed though." Sid then jumped into the trees. "I think I hear someting..." He then listened closly. "Footsteps... Someone distant from here is calling your name... Sounds like a male."
"It might be Yamoto!" Said Taichi.
"Hmmm... How old is Yamoto."
"13." Replied Taichi.
"Can't be him.. This Voice is adult... About 30 I believe."
"You can tell that from the voice?" Said Taichi, looking at Sid strangly.
"Hmm...? Oh no. I have a small telescope here." He tossed it down to Taichi.
"This is a lot like mine." Taichi looked at it. "hey! This is mine!"
Sid's eyes widened as he almost lost his balance. "YIKES!!" he regained his balance on the branch then said. "It is. I found it in your pocket while you were asleep." Taichi then glared at Sid. "I was looking for some form of I.D!! I thought your were injured or dead!" Said Sid, quickly thinking of a better excuse.
Taichi decided to believe him. "What's the man look like."
Take a look for your self. He's pretty close right now.
Taichi hid behind some bushes and used his telescope and looked at the figure. "It's my dad! What's he doing here?!"
"I don't know... But I doubt he'll find us." Sid then heard the foot steps even clearer. "Or maybe he will... Hide somewhere and I'll get rid of him." Taichi hid behind a rock as his father came into the campsite.
Taichi's father sighed. "Looks like no-ones here..." Sid then jumped down to the ground infront of him. "AAH!! Who are you?"
"Sid... A Traveler. What are you here for?"
"I'm looking for somone... My son..."
Sid then thought... "Sit down over bear the fire. I'l make some tea and you can tell me what's going on." Sid then made some more tea as Taichi's father sat down. Sid poured the tea and handed to to taichi's father. "Did your son run away? Or was he kidnapped?"
"I thew him out.. But I realize it was a mistake. I just over reacted..." Taichi's father then took a sip of tea.
"Over reacted about what?" Said Sid after pouring himself some more tea.
"he was gay... he had a boyfriend.. I grew up thinking gays were bad. That's how I raised him and his sister... I now realize it's a mistake. I shouldn't have thrown him out like that... I should have ignored it." He then started to cry a little. "I wish I never did that..."
Taichi listened to the entire coversation. He then also began to cry... he thought his father would hav been looking for him to tuant or hurt him.. he never thought his father missed him or accepted him. "dad..." He said quietly...
"Hmm...? Did you hear something?" Said Sid.
Taichi's father looked up... "Yes.. I did."
"I think it came from behind that rock over there." Sid pointed ot the rock Taichi was hiding behind. "Why don;t you take a look." Sid then sipped some more of his tea.
"all right." Said Taichi's father. he got up and approached the rock. he heard faint crying from behind it. He looked behind it. He saw his son. Looking up at him. "TAICHI!!" Shouted his father, hapily. He hugged his son. "I'm so sorry son! I'm sorry... Please forgive me." They both broke down into tears.
Sid looked at them, he sipped his tea. He then began to pack up his belongings. "I think my work here is done..." He said with a slight smile as h finished packing his things and he walked off. He then thought again. "Maybe I should find out how to get to the Digiworld... and avenge Kojiro..." he then walked towards Tokyo. He hoped he'd meet up with Taichi again.
The End.
