Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: Forget the 25 years later stuff at the end of series 2, this may change some of their lives from it. Malomyotismon was defeated a few months early and most people forgot most it but not the digi-destined and some others.

Tai lifestyle change part 22

Agumon sat next to Veemon. He was moving the tip of his claw in a small pond. He watches the ripples he made in his reflection. His mind swirl like is finger. "Agumon, are you sure you don't want to help me get Gatomon?" Veemon asked as he looks at his friend sunbathing next to him.

Agumon sat up and looks at Veemon and said, "Like I told you before, I'm not going to help you."

"I didn't want to do this but," Veemon said. He calmly took deep breath before he fell to his knees and pleaded, "But you're my best digimon friend you need to help. You know more about Gatomon than any other digimon. If competing with Patamon was hard enough now I'm competing against Tai and he's a cat digimon."

Agumon smiled and ask, "Have you ever ask Tai what he think about Gatomon?" Veemon to his kneels. He started to laugh. With a smile he grab Agumon in a hug before he ran off. "Give him a little hope and he's happy again," Agumon said to the wind. Agumon wish he could say that about himself but in the end does not know.

Meanwhile, two shadows clime through a window. They scan the room. A large with box. A black pot and pan hang from the roof. The timbers and walls were smoke by countless meals but the smells weaken of years of abandonment. "Good the bug and the other two digimon are gone," One shadow, "Lets start our plan."

"Gekomon are sure that their food in that closet?" The smaller shadow.

"As I told you before, Tsunomon," Gekomon said, "This is the only door that I could not open in the entire place. Where else will they keep food? Stand back I'm going to use my Symphony Crusher." The notes hit the door. With a load bang the door fell down. Gekomon look into the closet. The clear shelve were clear of everything but chilled wind. "Empty," He cried.

"Looks like it back to berries," Tsunomon said. He heard some voice so he looks to the doorway. "I think that they heard us."

Gekomon grab Tsunomon and said, "Then lest get out of here." He ran into a large room to see a gatomon and two other digimons. "Wrong room." Gekomon slowly walk back wards to the doors hoping that the digimon will not attack.

"Get them," Tentomon yelled as he, Hawkmon and Armadillomon came from the kitchen. Gekomon smiled and ran from the room only to be chase by Tentomon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon. Gatomon, Tai, and Mimi watch the lizard digimon ran around the room in a panic. He knocks over the tables and any thing else that got in his way.

Gekomon ran from the room. The three digimons case after Gekomon onto a gray floored room. In it Jen and Matt was listening to Yai playing a piano. Gekomon slip on the floor. Try as he could only stop when he hit the wall. Jen and Yai came running up the digimons. Jen pick up Tsunomon. "You're so cute," She said as she gave the in-training digimon a hug. "I'm taking you home with me."

Tsunomon cheered before he looks at Gekomon and said, "I can't leave Gekomon here for weeks together." Gekomon been take care of him ever since he first fell into the pond.

Before anyone could respond the three digimons ran into the room. They slip on the floor and slid at Gekomon. Yai grab Gekomon and lifted him to safety. "Thanks," Gekomon said. Yai carry him over to her piano. "I love music," Gekomon said as he looks at the piano. He rests in Yai lap felling safe for the first time in weeks. "What are you doing in the Digi-World?"

Yai laugh and said, "This is the real world."

Gekomon stood up on Yai's lap, look Yai in the eyes, and asked, "Really?" Yai nodded with a smile.

Tsunomon smiled knowing that he was where digimon try to get and most failed and in a humans arms. A bright light made him close his eyes. Jen smiled at Tsunomon holding a strange device in her hands. "Hi, I'm Jen your new partner."

"And I'm Yai." Yai watches as Gekomon look around eager to find something. "Looking for this?" Yai ask show Gekomon a d-arc. Gekomon smiled as he made himself comfortable in Yai's lap. Yai once again start to play. He got lost in Yai playing.

Gennai watch to landscape rolling past him from his seat in a van. "Are you sure it's a good ideal to have the tamer out of the city. Now that Controlmon is here it is not time to let our guard out," the passenger next to Gennai said.

Gennai smiled and said, "If you leave your guard up to long you'll trap thing in you that will harm you. We'll be to the others soon. Rest."

"I've been getting plenty of that," The passenger said.

"If Controlmon is after what I think he is then we to prepare for the worst," Gennai said. Soon the van stopped. "I get them the group together."

"I must find Rika," the passenger said.

Rika was running to keep of with Jeri as she tries to tag Takato. The three stop when a digimon appear in front of them. "Renamon," Rika yelled. With a smile Rika ran to her partner. Over joy that finally her partner is cured. To Rika it felts just like the time we Renamon return from the Digi-World. Renamon caught Rika in a hug. "Why aren't you weak anymore?"

"Gennai work for day to cure me," Renamon said with a tear, "We want to tell us something very importance." Renamon lead the group to Gennai. She was holding Rika in a hug the short trip. Gennai was standing in front of two Vans. All the digi-heroes and their partner stood around him.

"What is this all about?" Matt asked, "Yai and Jen just got their partner and I was helping them get started."

"Controlmon is up to something I need a group to enter the Digi-World from there to find and stop what ever he's up to," Gennai said, "We've got a portal to the Digi-World ready but we're still working on the way back."

Ryo step up and said, "As leader of the Tamers and since I spent the most time in the Digi-World and I know the most about the tamers. I'll form the team to save the Digi-World."

"Who said you're the leader?" Rika yelled as the fur on her back rose, "I would follow Terriermon before I even think of following you."

"Would you stop cutting down our leader," Kazu said.

"Why can't we all go?" Suzie asked.

"You're too young," Henry said.

Soon every one started to yelling and arguing. "What wrong?" Kari asked

"Sometimes we're the same way," Tai said, "only we don't have fame in our way." Tai jump onto Gennai's shoulder and yelled for quiet. Soon everyone stop yelling at look at Tai. "Thank you," Tai said bowing his head. "Matt you stay here and train Jen and Yai and Ryo since you know the most about Tamers you'll help."

"Then you are going to the Digi-World?" Ryo interrupted. A bit of rage could be heard in his voice. Tai stop and started to think. "Great a we'll be here for years waiting to get an answer." He hated taking orders from some Tai worst of all what he's a small cat.

Tai growl at Ryo and said, "Kari and TK.also Davis and Ken. Jeri, Rika and Takato. And lastly Mimi and me. The rest of you will stay here but for Izzy who will help Gennai with the return trip."

"Who made you the boss?" Ryo asked.

"I've been leading for longer than you," Tai said.

"You're just the best that they had," Ryo said.

"Calm down young ones," Gennai said, "From what I seen that is the best team to handle it. Now anyone that is going get in the vans."

Tai jump from the Gennai and start to clime into the van. Biyomon flew up to Tai. "Good luck," she said as she gave Tai a hug, "And come back to me."

"I'll try," Tai said. He jump onto a chair to watch part of the group get into the van. Some how with every one trying to get the seat they want, Tai ended up on Davis lap. Davis looked down at Tai. Davis ran his hand over Tai's warm, soft fur. Davis still can not believe how sweat a partner digimon can be and how powerful they can become.

Veemon sat next to Davis. Veemon look at Tai as he purred softly to Davis' touch. "Tai," Veemon said. Tai still laying look up at Veemon. "I want to ask you what you think of Gatomon," Veemon whisper.

"She's smart nice and caring," Tai said as Davis continues to stroke his fur.

"No I mean are you attracted to her," Veemon whisper.

Tai look at Veemon before saying, "That's sick." Veemon look at Tai. Veemon could not understand why Tai was acting the way he was.

"What do you mean?" Veemon ask in a whisper.

"I'm cat digimon because of Gatomon's DNA. In other words Gatomon is my sister by blood," Tai said, "And I'm not going to help you get her."

"How did you know I was going to ask you that," Veemon ask.

"Agumon already worn me about you asking me to help you," Tai said. Tai open his mouth and yawn. "For now I want to rest." Tai place his head against Davis arm and closed his eyes. Veemon soon follow Resting his head on Davis side. One by one each human and digimon fell asleep.

Tai woke and stretch the best he could while he was in some ones arms. He looks up to see that he was in TK's arms. The brown feline then looks around the room. There were blinking lights and screens but what got Tai attention were six poles place in a circular patter. At the top of each pole was a box. Tai watch as the test the rotation and tinting of each box. After that Tai heard one say that they were ready to test the beams. When the clam that each beam was on, Tai could not see them but he could feel them. He felt energy before but it was too weak for him to clear identify it.

Tai turn to see Gennai talking. "...so by arranging the six energy beams we cam create a portal to the Digi-World."

"Why can't we use the portal in Guilmon's hut?" Gatomon ask. She did not get most of what Gennai was saying but she understood that it would that them to this world Digi-World.

"After we return the digimons to this world that portal became unstable and shifted position," Yamaki said.

"Why can't we use the portal device that brought us to this world," Ken asked.

"G-ripper mess up the other Digi-World so much that the device thinks the Digi-world is gone," Gennai said.

"Is this portal safe?" Kari asked.

"The only problem we had was the first time the portal open it open somewhere in the city," Gennai said, "We fix it so the portal should be in to center of the gate towers. Lets start."

"Lets take it slow," Yamaki said, "We'll turn one beam on at each time." One by one each Tai felt each beam get turn one. Each time the feeling that Tai got was getting stronger and stronger. When six beams were on a glowing white orb was formed. "The Gateway is working the way we anticipated."

"Before you all go," Gennai said, "We pack you something." He handing the humans packs.

"What are we waiting for," Davis said. He jumps into the portal with Veemon close behind.

"Great I'm stuck with three goggle heads," Rika said.

"I've gotten better," Tai said

Mimi walk up to Rika's other side and said, "Yea now he's part wise one that speaks in riddles."

"Hey," Tai make Mimi giggle as the three enter the portal. Agumon, Palmon and Renamon quickly follow their partner.

"Well Gatomon lets not fall behind," Kari said as she enters the portal. One by one each the group enter the portal. Moments later they were falling. Kari looks up from her crater. "I thought that I was the portal to our Digi-World was painful," she said as clime from the crater.

Tai came running up to Kari. Following him was a ghost fish like creatures. "Kari, get them away," He yelled as he ran around his human sister.

"What are they?" Kari asked as she picks up Tai.

"Their digi-gnomes," Tai said, "They won't leave me alone." Kari swapped at the digi-gnomes but they keep returning to Tai.

"Their very friendly," Takato said.

"Too friendly," Tai said as the digi-gnomes rub Tai's face. He turn to look at Kari with a watering eyes hoping help. Mimi was giggling at Tai situation. She turns to look at a rock. There was something like blond ponytail and some thing black. Quickly they duck behind a rock.

Tai look at the horizon. The digi-gnomes look the same way. An energy way was coming. Tai felt it getting stronger. Soon Kari, Rika and Takato were looking the say way. When the wave passes them, Takato started rub his ears as they twist with pulling and pushing. Takato touch his ears. Slowly they felt more and more alien to him.

~`~

The Review told me that they want Takato as a digimons? I don't know what type so I'm open for Ideals.

Other some Matt/OC and a little Taigermon/Biyomon I still open for pairing. Including other Tai (Taigermon) pairing. I'll let my reader choose.
