Long-Distance Dedication

Chapter One. Leaving Home

***~***

Kari paced outside of the courtroom, waiting for the verdict. Her parents were devorcing and a judge had to decide who got her and who got Tai or who got both.

TK couldn't help her through this. He'd been through it when he was eight, and his mother moved away again, which ment he had to go too. Even though he wanted to stay with Matt.

Davis had to go with his sister to something, she was sort of baby-sitting him, so he couldn't come. Yolei had to spend time with her sisters; she couldn't get out of it. Ken and Cody weren't as close to her and anyway, they were busy too.

Her cell phone rang its cute clip from Beethoven's fifth.

"Hello?"

Loud music filled her ears, "Hey, did they decide yet?"

Davis.

"No, not yet, and I don't think I want to know what they decide. What did she drag you to?"Kari asked, sitting down across from the courtroom doors.

Davis replied, "Some consert, I forgot whose. It sounds familiar, but I really can't hear."

"How come you can hear me?"

"Underneath my seat is as far away from the noise as I can get. I'm straining to hear you over Jun."

Kari heard a faint, "Get off my phone!" and the phone was disconnected.

'Well, at least somebody called.'

***~*** A few minutes later, her phone rang again. It was Davis again, but this time, there was only a faint trace of the band.

"Hey, sorry about that, Jun thought I was going through her stuff."Davis said apologetically.

"How come you aren't on your phone?" Kari asked.

Davis took in a deep breath, "Well, Apperently, the band did signings before the show, so Jun ushered me out the door before I could grab it. I think she said that "The Muse" is too good of a show to miss before I grabbed the phone and left the consert."

Kari smiled, "I'm touched, you left a consert for me. But I still haven't gotten the verdict yet. What song was she singing?"

"Um, something about being a deer caght in headlights."

"Completely Stupid."Kari said absently.

"Hunh?"

"That's the name of the song. The Muse of the Underworld is one of my favorite rockers, so I kinda memorized all her songs."

"Oh, well, call me when they decide, Jun's number should be on your cell. Bye."

"'Kay, Bye."Kari said hanging up and placing her chin on her knees.

About a half hour later, Tai came out and gave Kari a big hug. He was crying softly, but wouldn't let Kari see. The judge made the decision.

Mrs. Kamiya got Kari, Mr. Kamiya got Tai. They were separated.

***~*** Tbc...

BTW, The Muse is me, but, I'm not a famous rocker (yet). I'm just learning the guitar. Also, don't laugh, I think I have a terrible voice, but everyone, Even my arch-enemy said I have a beautiful voice when I sung at Karaoke. SCARY!

I might post my songs up in my account at FP.C, my name is Foozamookay, which,if said fast enough, and the right way, sounds like Fuzzy Monkey, kinda. Check every now and then.

Review, Luv GG
