Song: 'Sorry' Daughtry

Will you listen to my story?
It'll just be a minute
How can I explain?

"Tai!"

"Tai will you please stop!" Matt yelled as he finally got his best friend's attention and Tai stopped running.

"What the hell was that?" Matt panted pointing to the direction they had just come from,

"It was my dad that was on the bridge earlier, that's why I was late. Thank God Kari didn't recognise him." Tai explained, Matt just raised his eyebrows,

"And..."

"He wants to be a part of our lives again. He asked for us to go live him." "After four years of nothing but silence and heartache he comes back and demands we go live with him or he will make us," Tai said frustratedly raising his voice.

"What are you going to do? You need to tell Kari," Matt replied, trying to be rational

"Are you kidding? Do you really think I'm going to tell my baby sister that the man who she adored and loved more than anything else is back after breaking her heart? I'm not going to let him hurt her ever again." Tai yelled the thought of his dad even talking to his sister send him over the edge.

"Look, she needs to know in case he stops her in the street when your not there. You can't follow her around for the rest of her life." Matt replied keeping his cool.

"I'm not telling her and that is final!" Tai yelled before turning his back on his friend signalling the end of the conversation. Matt gave up and started to walk back to the others.

Kari watched as Matt appeared from the trees where Tai had disappeared, his head was down and when he looked up he caught her eyes and shook his head.

'No luck' Kari thought,

It wasn't until Matt was closer that he was noticed by the others,

"Where's Tai?" asked Sora looking worried

"Where I left him probably wallowing in his own self-pity and stubbornness," Matt replied coldly.

"Who was the guy on the bridge Matt?" Kari asked as she remembered that who ever it was that Tai had met on the bridge had made him anxious and jumpy.

Matt went silent as he knew that it was Tai's place to tell her, not him but on the other hand, she had the right to know he was her dad to and therefore, it was up Kari to decide whether to let him back into her life or fight him with her brother.

"It's not my place to say, Kari. It's up to Tai to decide whether or not he'll tell you," Matt replied.

Kari was annoyed, she was sick of people not telling her hiding information from her just because they thought that she was the same girl that had first travelled to the digital world 4 years ago the truth was she was a hell of a lot stronger, she had dealt with more than any of the other digi-destined, and she and T.K. were more powerful than the others. She'd been touched by the Dark Ocean and now had an on-going battled with the darkness that threatened to take over her soul. Kari didn't need to be sheltered and she definitely didn't need to be treated like a fragile china doll.

"Matt why can't you just tell me? I'm tired of everyone always trying to shelter and protect me. I'm not a little girl any more- I don't need you, Tai or anyone else trying to censor what I hear. I'm stronger now, I can make my own decisions. You all need to stop seeing me as the scared little girl I used to be and treat me as an adult," Kari said surprising everyone but it was true and the older kids knew it.

Matt took a deep breath in; Tai was actually going to kill him.

"It was your dad," he replied quietly.

"My what?" Kari asked in disbelief, that was certainly not expected. No wonder Tai had run off, she had to find him. But what would she say? Tell him that she knew, be angry that he kept this piece of information from her and drop Matt in it or wait for Tai to admit it.

No-one knew whether Kari was going to cry or crack like Tai had done but instead she just sat there staring blankly at the floor; a million and one thoughts running through her head. All with different answers which confused Kari greatly, some said that speaking to her dad was a bad idea and she would only hurt herself while others told her that speaking to her dad would give her closure and rest her mind.

Sometimes she wished she was like Tai, he had already made a decision. He didn't want to anything more to do with his father but Kari was the level headed one out of the pair, she had to think what was going to be best for her and her family and at the moment she had no idea what she wanted to do, at the moment in time all she wanted was to find Tai and go home.

T.K. was worried about his best friend, he could see she was decided what to do, she wasn't the type of person to just burst into tears or storm off, Kari carefully thought about what emotion to show, she was never rash and never wanted to look weak in front of the others, but T.K. knew she would get hurt know matter how much she thought about meeting her dad or what she would say.

"Which one do you think will move first?" Davis whispered to Cody as they watched Kari stare at the ground in front of her while T.K. stared at Kari.

Cody laughed as Yolie elbowed Davis in the ribs, while Davis pulled his 'what was that for' face.

T.K. was the first to snap out of is trance and saw that everyone was still watching them.

"Hello, earth to Kari," T.K. said waving his hand in front of her face making her blink a couple of times before looking up to see everyone's worried faces.

"Sorry, I zoned out for a minute there," Kari said apologetically

"You can say that again," Davis muttered under his breathe receiving yet another elbow to the ribs from Yolie, making everyone giggle.

Kari looked at her watch as the others laughed at Davis, it was getting late, the sun was setting and yet there was no sign of Tai and that concerned her. If she were to go and look for him and get home before it went dark she would have to leave now.

"Guys I'm sorry but I'm going to get going," Kari said as she got up off the grass,

"Where are you going?" Yolei asked

"I don't know I just really need sometime. See you tomorrow?" Kari replied, Yolei only nodded as her friend walked away.

All eyes turned to T.K. as Kari left, "What?"

"Well...?" Sora asked trying to hint at T.K.

"Well, what?"

"Go after her you moron!" Matt yelled, causing T.K. to scramble to his feet,

"I'll see you guys la..."

"Go!" they all yelled at him

What ever happened here
Never meant to hurt you
How could I cause you so much pain?

"Do you think they'll find Tai?" Cody asked turning to Matt as they watched T.K. run off after Kari.

Matt looked at the ground avoiding Cody's gaze, he doubted that Tai was still where Matt had left him or that he was even in the park and it wouldn't surprise him if he wasn't at his apartment either.

"I'm sure his at home," Matt lied as he looked at Sora who looked please with his lie as it reassured Cody and the others.

"Look its getting late, I think it's best we go home and see if there is any news from Kari," Joe said standing up and taking control for once and for once everyone agreed with him.

When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you wont leave me

"Thanks for walking me home, T.K. You want something to eat or drink?" asked Kari as she fetched her keys out of her bag,

"Thanks, but I'd better be getting home before my Mom decides to call the cops. I hope Tai turns up, phone me if you need anything," T.K. said before kissing Kari on the cheek and turning to leave.

'Where on earth did that come from' T.K. asked himself as he left Kari's apartment building.

Kari was equally surprised as T.K. as she went inside; she was so surprised in fact that she didn't notice a strange pair of shoes sat the door as she took her own off.

Kari first went to Tai's room which was only a few steps down the hall across from her own room.

"Tai?" she asked gently knocking on the door before she opened it, to find an empty room and no sign that Tai had been back for any of his clothes, or belongings.

'Damn' she thought knew she would have to lie to her Mom and say he was staying at Matt's, she hated lying but she didn't want to worry her Mom or explain why he ran off. A white lie wasn't going to hurt anyone was it?

Kari wandered down the hall towards her mom's room which was next to the kitchen and living room but just as she was about to knock she remember, her mother was out of town at a business meeting and wouldn't be back until the following afternoon.

"No-one's home Kari, it's just me and you," a voice from the family room said, making Kari jump out of her skin.

This was her time she thought it was her time to tell her dad how she really felt, but as she slowing crept in to the living room she found herself unable to speak or move.

"What are you doing here?" asked Kari, hatred filled her voice surprising her father and herself.

"And here I was thinking Tai was the one with all the anger," Yuuko Kamiya smiled,

Kari was not impressed but behind the smiled she felt something lurking, an evil presence of some sort but she couldn't put her finger on it. Little did she know that her life was now at risk.

All the words that I come up with
They're like gasoline on flames
