Kari walked down the dusty road, oblivious to the sounds around her.
▒Gatomon was deleted, Gatomon was deleted,▓ was the thought that clouded her brain. She walked strait into a tall boy about her age. ⌠Hey TK,▓▓ She muttered sullenly. ⌠What, not even a sorry?■ TK asked, smiling until he saw her face. ⌠Hikari, what▓s wrong?■ Tears came down in a waterfall. ⌠Takeru, Gatomon was deleted last night in the digital world.■ TK gave her a questionable look. ⌠So? Kari, I know it▓s hard, but she▓ll be reconfigured!■ Kari shook her head. ⌠She was permanently deleted┘by ┘⌠her eyes opened wide and her gaze locked,
⌠Leomon.■
TK▓s eyes opened as wide as they could. ⌠Did she get in between him and Ogremon?■ Kari shook her head again. TK wrapped her in a hug, massaging her back and going, ⌠Shh..shh┘easy, Hikari┘shhh┘.■ Kari▓s body shook with the strength of her sobs. Tai ran over to them, pushing TK to the ground. ⌠What did you do to my little sister?■ Tai demanded, raising his fist high above TK▓s head. ⌠Tai no!■ Kari cried as Tai punched TK in the face. ⌠What did you do to her?■ Kari grabbed Tai. ⌠It wasn▓t him!■ Tai stared at her. ⌠Then who was it, the ice cream man?■ Kari stared at him with her soft gaze. ⌠It really wasn▓t him, was it┘■ Tai murmured, letting TK stand. ⌠Listen dude, I▓m really sorry┘■ Tai said blushing. ⌠It was noythin,■ TK said, his face swelling. ⌠Oh Takeru┘ come here.■ Kari said in her silky smooth voice. She brushed her thumb along his cheek, pulling her hand back when he flinched. ⌠Taichi! I▓m telling Mom!■ Tai bent down on his knee▓s. ⌠Kari, please don▓t! Please, please, please?■ Tai said, face turning red. ⌠Kawi, you dos▓t have tuh┘I▓ll buh fin.■ TK Murmured. Kari glared at Tai for a moment before helping TK stand. ⌠Hanks Kawi,■ He murmured. He jogged down the street and back home.
