Disclaimer: I don't own digimon.

Edit 1-16-2012. In the off chance that Death2Sorato Takari actually comes and reads this, let me just say don't bother. Thank you for leaving several flaming reviews of the story that proceeds this one. However, I would like to point out that you're calling me pathetic for a story I wrote eleven years ago, when I would like to call attention to the fact that your reading fanfiction for a story that has not been on the air for nearly ten years. Also, I'm disabling anonymous reviews, so if you have a problem with the story, send me a private message, you spineless little asshole.

A/N: This is the sequel to Changed Destiny. I strongly suggest you read that fic before you read this one! Otherwise you won't get it!

And I will continue Born Of Angels for all of you who are freaking because I started this one. I got bored with B.O.A. I'll start it again soon. I can do two at a time.

What The Future Brings

TK Takaishi adjusted his backpack on his shoulder as he made his way through the hectic school hall. It was way too crowded. "Stupid overcrowding!" He mumbled as he pushed through the students.

Up ahead he saw Izzy and Mimi standing by Izzy's locker. Izzy was searching through it, pulling out books while Mimi talked mindlessly. TK walked up to them and smiled. "Hey Izzy, Mimi."

"Hello," Izzy mumbled as he stuck a book back in his locker.

"Hi, TK!" Mimi said happily. She hugged him tightly.

"Hi Mimi. Why are you so happy?" TK asked as he hugged her back.

"Joe's coming back from the university for a few weeks," she replied. TK smiled again. He was happy that Joe was coming back. Mimi was always sad whenever he wasn't around. Besides, Joe was a good friend and teammate.

"That's great. When?"

"Next week."

"That's around the same time Matt and Sora are coming for a visit." Matt was coming back from tour that day. Sora traveled with him, while doing independent study.

"Does Tai know their coming back?" Izzy asked.

"Um… yeah," TK nodded. "Sora called him, I think."

"I'll ask him. I see him after school today. I'm helping him with some computer program for his class," Izzy said, finally looking up from his locker. "I gotta go. Class, I have to get there early today."

"Yeah, I guess I better get to class also," Mimi shrugged with a sigh.

They both walked away and TK shook his head in amusement. "The life of a senior," he laughed.

"TK!" He heard a voice call. He knew the voice already. A bigger smile appeared on his face. He turned around and saw a tall blonde girl walking toward him.

"Tera!" He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek. "Hi."

"Hi," the girl, Tera, replied. "How was your weekend?"

"Good. Nothing exciting happened." He took her hand as they walked to class. "And yours?"

"It was okay." She wrinkled her nose, "I had to work."

"That's too bad." She let go of his hand. He looked up and saw the door to her classroom.

"I'll see you after class." She kissed him again, on the lips this time. She pulled away and walked into her class.

TK heard a few cheers from the guys he played basketball with. They thought it was a hoot when any of them "scored" with a girl. TK forced a laugh and a smile. The other guys on the team were idiots. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kari Kamiya ran as a blast of light and a huge explosion followed in her wake. She glanced over her shoulder. "Dai!" She screamed. A spiky, maroon haired boy ran out of the smoke of the explosion with a small digimon holding on to his hair. Another boy with semi long blue hair followed him with a small green digimon in his arms. She ran over and threw her arms around the maroon haired boy. "Dai!"

The boy grinned as he hugged her. "Oops." He looked around. A boy with brown hair and a girl with glasses and purple hair were waiting for them at the top of the hill with their digimon.

"We're supposed to be cleaning up the Digital World, not blowing things up," the small brown haired boy said.

"I'm sure Andramon will find some way to rebuild the plant," the boy laughed.

"This is who they hired to protect the Digital World?" The girl with purple hair joked.

"Hired? Who said anything about being hired? I haven't seen a dime! Where's my paycheck?" The boy ranted. The others giggled.

"We'd better get back to the real world," the tall boy with blue hair said.

Kari looked away from them. She really didn't want them to go. "We'll be back tomorrow," Dai said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

She forced a smile. "I know. I'll see you then."

"Bye Kari," the purple haired girl waved, her voice gentle with concern. She turned to a TV that was the link to the real world. She disappeared, followed by the blue haired boy and the brown haired boy. Their digimon followed them.

"Stop it," Dai ordered as he pulled his arm from her shoulders. She looked up at him. "You don't want to stay here alone. Come back with me."

She smiled. "I won't be alone. I'll have Gatomon." She gestured to a white cat who smiled up at Dai. "I can't go back. I can't risk anyone recognizing me. People will wonder and freak out. Besides there's nothing for me to go back too. I don't remember anything, ecept for being sick."

He slid his hand into hers. "You're a good soldier. Too good sometimes. You worry too much about the Digital World being discovered. One of these days I'm going to make you forget all those risks. You can go see what you've missed."

"Go home, Dai." He looked at her, his eyes full of concern, refusing to move. "I'll be fine."

"Okay. First thing tomorrow I'll be here."

"First thing tomorrow you'll be in school." She hugged him. He disappeared into the portal like the others. "Let's get out of here, Gatomon. We'll go find somewhere safe to sleep."

They walked in silence for a little bit. "Kari, do you want to go back?" Gatomon asked.

"Yeah, a little," Kari replied. "I miss all those things I can remember like the park and the food; and I wouldn't mind hanging out with Dai and all the others like a real person. But then, nothing beats the nights her in the Digital World. Its quiet and the sky is beautiful and I have you with me. I don't have to remember all the stuff from the real world."

They walked up to a small cave where Kari went in and came out with a sleeping bag and a backpack. They continued to walk out to a huge field where Kari set out the stuff. Gatomon watched her set out the sleeping bag.

Kari laid down and Gatomon curled up beside her. "I don't want to go home. I don't want to remember the medication or the procedures or the pain everyone felt. Is that selfish?"

"Not at all," Gatomon yawned.

"Good night, Gatomon."

TK laid with his hands behind his head in his bed. He had taken out Tera earlier and now he was in bed staring up at the white ceiling. He felt bad for going out with Tera, like it wasn't right. Maybe he didn't deserve her. He didn't feel like he could protect her.

Maybe that wasn't the only reason. Maybe it was a deeper, selfish thing. Maybe what it truly was was that he was missing something. That she didn't have something he needed. She didn't feed something that burned inside of him. Not that she didn't; she couldn't. She didn't have it inside her.

She didn't have that light.

Well, that was the first part. What did you think? Is anybody interested? Truthfully. I'm struggling over a bad guy and couples. Do you want couples? Should there be couples? I don't know. I still need to figure out a bad guy. I'm sorry this is short, but the next part will be longer. Later Dayz!
