And you don't seem to understand...
Kari watched as her best friend, Takeru, blew out the candles on his fifteenth birthday cake. She wanted to tell him that him leaving would make her angry and sad, and she knew that him going, would hurt and destroy her hope. Making her light stop shining, and her heart would turn to a shadowed shade.
A shame you seemed an honest man....
Takeru had been quiet about the journey and had hidden it from everyone, except, Tai. Kari's older brother, the person of whom he had gone in need of friendship. Not her. Not Matt. Not Cody or his best friend Ken, but TAI! It made poor Kari want to cry. She didn't know the reason behind that, but she knew that he seemed not to trust her. The shadowed shade started to pulse with feelings.
And all the fears you hold so dear....
Takeru believed in telling Matt first, then Kari, and so on. But then, Nancy, his mother made sure he swore that he would Not tell Matt, his father, or Kari... not anyone, not until his birthday, the last day he was to stay in Japan. The day he would fly to live in Hai-Lan. A "Yamato" style town in the alternate world his mother was from, called Midgard. His mother had made him promise, and if he broke that.. She would disown him. She only allowed him to tell one person he knew, and it couldn't be Patamon. Or any of his other INSANE forms (That is his mothers words.) Nor his brother or Kari.
Will turn to whisper in your ear...
She had told Takeru she didn't want her husband trying to take custody of him in the short time he would stay. She also didn't want to have to deal with Matt, her other son. She knew he would do something horrible that would split her and her youngest up. Takeru tried to explain to his mother that Matt wasn't going to jeopardize her plans, but she wouldn't believe him. She had only allowed one to learn of this, and so after a few thoughts, Takeru choose Tai.
And you know I don't mean to hurt you...
He had walked into Tai's apartment and told him most of what was going on. He then had Taichi swear on his digivice that he wouldn't tell anyone. This made Tai a bit uneasy, and he knew that this alliance would some how, in at least one way, hurt Kari and Matt the most. He felt sorry for his younger friend, since he was in the mess all the way.
But you know that it means so much...
Tai then understood that his friends would be unhappy with the things to come. He also understood that jepordizing his friend's relation with his own mother would be a bad thing as well. Taichi agreed to help Takeru, even though he had much to doubt.
And you don't even feel a thing...
At the party, two weeks after Takeru had confided in Tai. The day came of a birthday party and a candle of 14 clones was lit. Once he recieved his presents he asked for all the invited people's attention, and told them that he would be leaving Japan today and that he would not be coming back for at least a year. He then saw his father, brother, Kari, Ken, and Cody facefault, and pale visably. Conversation then went up to a alarming rate and it was all shocked, surprised people talking.
I am falling
How could this happen? T.K. can't be leaving, it's his birthday, so he has to stay.
"Big bro, everyone. I'm sorry." Said Takeru as Yamato looked up. He then watched his brother sigh, then walk out the door with a suitcase in each hand. Yamato's resolve broke away and he ran after Takeru. However, by the time he made it to the outside the taxi with his brother it was speeding away. Yamato fell weakly to his knees, and his heart felt torn. He fell.
I am fading
Takeru watched his brother run outside the apartment, and fall weakly to his hands and knees when he saw it was too late. Takeru waved goodbye from the back window and did a small prayer so he might have the chance to see his brother again. His mother from the front passanger seat frowned as she saw Yamato fade away, then lightly squeezed her son's hand. Takeru kept looking back, and prayed in his heart.
I have lost it all
A full year had now passed, and Yamato Ishida was living in a state of anger. A week ago his mother had come back from her trip, but without the one Yamato wanted. Somehow she had convinced his father to start dating again and Yamato thought, no he knew that she was trying with all her might to take everything away from him.
Matt was sitting in his living room and had Tai on the phone ordering a pizza. Tai and his relationship had only began to heal after Yamato thought he had been betrayed by Tai about Takeru. It had taken months for him and Kari to forgive Tai after Takeru had confided in him, and not them. Yamato now was still harboring bitter thoughts as he watched Taichi talk happily to the local pizza girl. His thoughts were brought to a boil as his mother and father casualy walked in with a aura of hearts around their heads; making Yamato turn alittle green around the edges. Tai noticed Matt's distraction, ended his conversation and slamed down the telephone, causing Matt to turn his head.
" Whats the matter with you?" Yamato asked,
Tai smiled and suggested they go outside the apartment. As they walked out, Yamato balled his fist, lowered his head and gave his parents an icy stare. Then followed Tai outside. I will regain what was once lost.
And in that other dimension, Takeru's head jerked up.
