Spoiler for Yume Random:

They did break up... Er... actually, more like a one-sided break up from Inaba. She failed to change Taichi's troubling behavior, and she finally decided that part of the reason was that she had been weak and relied on him too much, as well as what she had said to him during Hito Random about how people can't change the way they are born. She blamed herself for it and declared that she can't be with him anymore if it meant Taichi continuing on a destructive path like that. She also brought up the question multiple times whether Taichi truly loves her (implied meaning: as he himself and not from his desire to "help everyone else.") And Taichi, being the dense and stubborn numbskull he was, couldn't even say a single word whenever Inaba asked him that question.

Well, she failed to change him completely, but at least it was enough of a shock to halt and snap Taichi out of his seemingly unstoppable urge to throw himself in the fire to help others and think it over himself, with a little help from Iori the Wise (Sry that's how I dub her now xD)

The break up only lasted for maybe... 12 hours? With his new found self-realization Taichi wins her back the next day.
