Her head hurt, that was the first thing Kari became aware of. With a soft groan she slid out from under her bed cover, as she rubbed her temples in a vain attempt to get rid of her headache.

Opening her eyes, she can't help but blink a few more times before she frowns slightly as she tries to remember. For the last thing she remembered was the Digidestined had been fighting an unknown Digimon, and then… dear lord. She pales as she stiffens up.

I was hit by an attack. Kari thinks as she remembers the attack coming straight at her. Gatomon had been KO'd and the Digimon attacker had been vastly amused throughout the battle. And now she knows why, even though at the time she couldn't seem to remember the reason why he was so amused.

Still lost in her thoughts, she listened to see if anyone else was awake right now, within her home. She could hear the soft breathing of Gatomon as her partner is sleeping elsewhere, though close enough for her to hear it. So that meant otherwise she was the only one home that was wide awake. While she was a bit annoyed they hadn't stayed up waited for her to wake up to talk with, she knew that she must have gotten home pretty late as the clock on the wall says it's two am. Though it takes her a few minutes to realize that Tai wasn't sleeping on the top bunk, which means his plans for a sleep over at Matt's place fell through despite the battle earlier.

I wonder if they defeated the Digimon, or did it escape? she thought, she hoped they defeated it since it had been causing quite a lot of damage and if it had escaped, the Digimon could easily be biding its time to strike once more.

Soon enough she decides that she needs to use the bathroom, so she slipped quietly across the hall to where the bathroom was located. She was still wearing her normal clothing, since it was unlikely Tai would get past embarrassment to be able to put her in her pajamas.

Down came the pants.

…

…

How did guys do it again? Aim and click?

She frowns as she tries to think of why she's musing about how guys used the toilet. She stands there, frowning before she realizes that she now has a new part of her body. She's too shell shock to feel anything but numbness. No wonder the Digimon was so amused; his attack had turned her into a guy.

Since she was pretty sure guys were the gender that stood to do this.

OoOoO

Once Kari was finished doing her business in the bathroom, she quickly exits the room and closes the door to her room silently, no not her... his room, as so as not to wake anyone up. The newly male Kari breathed deeply, trying to fend off a panic attack.

"Okay okay... calm down," Kari tells … himself, though he can't help wincing a bit at his new voice. He glances around the room, hoping that Gatomon's still sleeping even though he had spoken out loud.

He ran a hand through his chin length hair, his crimson eyes darting wildly around the room once more. Mumbling he dug through his clothing, looking for something that didn't scream, I'm-a-girl.

In the end, he ended up borrowing a blue t-shirt from Tai and puling on a brown pair of pants and white sneakers. He knew that he didn't look too different from before his... gender flip, otherwise Tai and the others would have noticed that something happened.

This wouldn't last, she was... no he was nine years old.

The dreaded puberty would hit soon enough, and then there would be no way to hide his new gender.

"I'm a freak, a freak," Kari whispered as he wipes the tears trailing down his face, he couldn't stay here. When his family would most likely wake up they'd hate him, they might not believe he was... well himself.

And if they believed him, they'd probably be disgusted… and if the gender flip hadn't flipped back by now…

Which either means that the Digimon was still at large or that, some how, the effects of the attack were now permanent, which ever it is, it means he can't remain a daughter in this house hold.

He bit his lip and brushed away his tears, he knows a kid shouldn't have to think about facts like this. But his adventures in the digital world had changed him, he was so tired.

"I have to leave," Kari whispered, couldn't stay… he couldn't face rejection.

Quickly he packed an old grey backpack with spare clothing, and tip toed to the kitchen to get food that didn't go bad easily.

The child of light spared a look at where he thinks his sleeping partner is, for he knew Gatomon couldn't come plus he would rather the white cat remember how he use to be, not as he is now. After all to disappear he couldn't be visible, a Digimon would be easier to find then one child.

"I'm sorry Gatomon, but... this time I have to go where ever myself this time," he whispered, and as he walks towards the apartment door, he glances around for one last look before he opens the door, goes through it and then closed the door to the apartment.

And that was it, he was gone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He glances around the park in West Shinjuku, he no longer goes by Kari as his name since it was a girl's name and it would also allow anyone looking for him to locate him easily.

Since he wasn't going by Kari as his name, he had decided to leave that part of Tokyo as well. That was a few days ago and so far, he's yet to come up with a plan of some kind as to what he wants to do.

As he sits under the dino with a clock in it, he watches as other kids play around on the play equipment or playing on the grass not to far away. Envy bubbles in his chest as he notices how parents would appear to either drop off a kid or pick up a kid.

"Hey, chumly, mind moving out of the way?" A kid wearing a visor asks.

He crawls out from under the dino and watches as the visor kid and a second kid wearing glasses climb up to the ledge that's up there.

"Could you throw down my pack, please?" He asks the pair and within seconds his pack is on the ground. He recovers it and brushes some of the sand off.

As he walks away from the play equipment, he bumps into a kid with black hair and really brown tanned skin. "Sorry." He says as he stares down at his feet.

"No problem, by the way, my name's Kai." The kid says, he glances up from his shoes to look at Kai. "I… I don't have a name." The girl turned boy admits.

"Didn't your parents name you?" Kai asks, he notices the concerned look on the other boy's face. "I kind of… lost them." He says, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"Ah, hey! I didn't mean anything! I didn't know!" Kai exclaims, clearly not knowing how to comfort him. "Are you a girl or something?" Kai asks, a big mistake on the boy's part for with a slight sob, he breaks down crying.

They attract a lot of attention as he cries while Kai tries to make up for his mistake. "Come on, don't cry! I don't know what I did to make you cry but I don't want you to cry any more." Kai says, trying to comfort him by rubbing his back.

He wipes his eyes using a bit of his shirt and manages to say between sobs, "It's not that, I just don't… everything is just so… I want a family!" The last part kind of just came out; he kind of just said something that had been on his mind a while back, when he was watching the other kids and their families.

"Ah, bob, let's go to my aunt and uncle's bakery, ok? I think they know how to handle this better then me." Kai says, though it's likely the last part was more for himself then for the girl-turned-boy he's trying to comfort.

He nods and it's not long before he's following the tanned boy through the park and then out onto the streets.

Unknowingly to the pair, they had just taken their first steps to becoming cousins.
