Old Age House
Henry worked in an old age house. Unlike many of his friends, he preferred to do something useful with him free time. He liked listening to the old people's stories and when he had some problem he preferred to share it with them. They always listened and understood him. But now he was searching something about 4 old people Rika and Jeri told him about. These are 4 Digidestined they need to find in order to save the Digital world. He found nothing about them. They never were in this old age house. Suddenly he remembered of an old lady he occasionally visited. Unlike of the old men, she was very calm. Henry always liked sitting with her and talking to her. Her name was Jun Ishida. Henry thought she might have some relation to Matt Ishida Rika and Jeri told him about.
Henry went to the park in the old age house and he saw there Jun sitting on one of the benches. He came there and sat on the bench with her.
"Hello, Jun, how are you?" Henry asked.
"Hello, Henry, it is so good to see you. I feel so lonely here" Jun said.
"Jun, you told me you had a family. Don't they visit you here?" Henry asked.
Jun's face fell sad. "I even don't know where they are" She said.
"You told me you're married and you don't know where your husband is?" Henry asked.
"Well, my child, my husband never really loved me. He loved another woman and this woman loved his friend" Jun said.
"I'll be glad to hear the whole story, Jun" Henry said "You know I love your stories"
"Thanks, Henry" Jun said and began the story.
"I was in love with my husband ever since we were very young. My husband was very handsome and was very popular with the girls. However, there was one girl who wasn't in love with him; she was the girl he wanted. I chased him, but he never noticed me. He was trying to charm this girl, after all he had more interests with her than with me; they both were always busy with some Digital world" Jun said.
'I was right' Henry thought to himself 'Jun Ishida's husband is really Matt Ishida'
"After many affords he succeeded in winning her heart. They dated for a while and then got married. However, she wasn't a good woman and always cheated on him with his best friend. Finally after 7 years of marriage, she and his best friend got tired and she divorced him and married his best friend. I think they are happy in their marriage even now. My husband, who wasn't now handsome and charming as before, had no choice but to marry me; the only one who still loved him and waited for him. We weren't happy in our marriage. He was always busy with the digital world and actually still loved his ex-wife. He also disappeared from home a lot. We lived our lives together for many years and finally I decided it would be better for me if I live here. He used to visit me long time ago, but he stopped. I haven't seen him for a long time" Jun finished her story.
"It's so sad, Jun. I don't understand how your husband didn't see how wonderful you are" Henry said.
"Maybe it's my fault, I should've move on with my life and not wait for him" Jun said "but I don't hold resentment for Matt, after all it's not his fault he didn't learn to love me"
When Jun said her husband's name Henry knew it for sure. Matt was her husband.
"Do you really don't know where is your husband? Maybe he needs some help" Henry said.
"I really don't know and I think I'm the last person he'll ask for help" Jun said.
"Come on Jun! Don't be so hard on yourself" Henry said "What about your husband's ex-wife and her current husband?"
He knew that the last question might hurt Jun, but he thought that these two people might be Digidestined as well, so he had to ask it.
"You want to know what's up with them now. That's very nice of you" Jun said "You can ask the administration for the address of Sora Kamiya or Sora Takenouchi, I don't remember if she took her husband's surname or not"
Now Jun gave Henry even clues. Sora Takenouchi, The ex-wife of Matt Ishida, Jun Ishida's current husband, is now Sora Kamiya, the wife of Tai Kamiya, who might be Kari Kamiya's brother. All this sounded to Henry like a bad soap opera, but soon he'll have the address of that Sora and meet her and maybe even her husband Tai.
"Jun, you told me you had a brother. Where is he and why doesn't he visit you?" Henry asked in order to continue the subject.
"I don't know where he is. He disappeared after the accident" Jun said.
Henry wanted to ask about the accident, but thought this is not needed now. He wanted to go to Sora's home and find even more Digidestined with her help.
"Jun, I had so great time with you today" Henry said.
"Thank you, Henry. I wish all the people were like you" Jun said.
"Well, see you tomorrow" Henry said.
"All the best, my child" Jun said and Henry went away.
After Henry took Sora Kamiya's address from the old age house administration (wish he got without any problem), he headed to Sora's house. He stood before the and after taking a deep breath knock on it. Sora opened the door. Unlike Jun, Sora didn't look delicate and helpless. She looked very strong and there was fire in her eyes. She even looked younger than Jun. Maybe this is the difference between living a happy life and living a miserable one.
"Sora Kamiya?" Henry asked.
"Yes" Sora said.
"I'm Henry Wong from the old age house, I came to check how are you doing" Henry said.
"We are absolutely fine" Sora said harshly.
"May I come in?" Henry asked and tried to enter the apartment.
"No!" Sora said angrily and blocked his way.
Henry tried to look behind her back "But why? I just want to see your apartment and see how you and your husband live" Henry said.
"Listen, young man, and listen carefully, we don't need your help, and we can handle it all by ourselves, so please leave now" Sora said harshly.
Henry decided to try a different approach.
", you are a Digidestined, right? And your husband, too?" Henry said "We need a help in the Digital world, do you know where all the other Digidestined are?"
Sora was shocked "What rubbish are you speaking?" She said annoyed.
"Do you know where your ex-husband Matt Ishida is? Or Mimi Tachikawa?" Henry asked.
"Well, well, young man, I see you did a research on me before coming here" Sora said "Didn't you learn that it's not good to interfere others' lives?"
Henry was shocked by Sora's words and her behavior.
"Now go away before I call the police" Sora said and Henry left, disappointed.
"Sora, who it was?" Sora heard a voice behind her, she closed the door and came to her husband, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Just a kid from an old age house" Sora said "I'm so sick of them, they don't get that we don't need their help"
"Sora, you are so beautiful and still so young" Tai said "You have nothing to do with a disabled person like me, maybe you should leave me and start a new life"
"Tai, stop saying this" Sora said "I love you and I'll never leave you" She leaned to kiss him, but before she could do it he started talking.
"Sora" He said and she stepped back.
"I heard this kid saying 'Digidestined' and 'Digital world', don't you think it's weird?" Tai said.
"Yeah, it's strange that someone we don't know knows about the digital world" Sora said.
"Maybe the Digital world is really in trouble and needs our help" Tai said.
"We can't do this just the two of us" Sora said "Do you know where everybody else is?"
"I think we can easily find Izzy" Tai said "What about Matt? Do you know something about him?"
"I don't know where Matt is. If you want to know, ask Jun. She is his wife, not me" Sora said angrily.
"Sora, why do you always get so angry when someone even says Matt's name?" Tai asked and Sora's face fell down.
"He might be your ex-husband, but he is my best friend as well" Tai said and put his hand around Sora and kissed her upon her cheek.
"I'm sorry, Tai" Sora said.
"You don't need to apologize, Sora. You are the best present the life ever gave me" Tai said and they kissed.
"Sora, maybe you know where we can find Mimi?" Tai asked.
"She is somewhere out of the city, I think we can find her" Sora said "She is living a happy marriage life with Joe, unlike me she realized who she really loves on time"
"Sora, stop blaming yourself all the time. Nothing has happened too late for us. I'm not sorry you weren't with me then, I'm just happy you are now" Tai said.
Sora kissed Tai "I don't deserve to be with someone like you" She said.
"Sora, please stop. If you say so, what can I say about myself? Just look at me I'm disabled" Tai said.
"Tai, you promised me you won't say this again" Sora said.
"I'm sorry" Tai said "Do you know something about the younger Digidestined? I mean besides the part they can't grow"
"Well, Kari is your sister; you supposed know where she is" Sora said.
"Well, I haven't talked with her for a long time. She even doesn't know I'd injured my legs" Tai said "But they all kinda disappeared after the accident, I mean T.K and Davis… and we never were in close contact with Yolei and Cody, so I don't know what's with them"
"What really happened in that accident?" Sora asked.
"I don't know, but it affected Kari very hard" Tai said.
Henry was very disappointed. He headed to Takato's home. He couldn't imagine Sora will be so different than Jun. But he could understand why Matt preferred the tough Sora over the soft Jun. He can get easily even millions girls like Jun, but he had to fight very hard to get Sora. Sora a bit reminded him of Rika.
Henry knocked on Takato's door and Takato opened.
"Hello, Henry what's up?" Takato said.
"Hi, Takato. I'm fine" Henry said and entered.
"I don't have good news for you" Henry said.
"What's wrong?" Takato asked.
"I found Sora and I guess Tai is with her since they are married, but she refused to talk to me and closed the door in my face" Henry said.
"You did your best and actually it's better than nothing, at least we know where they are" Takato said.
"Actually it's a difficult story. Sora and Matt were married, and then they divorced. Sora married Tai and Matt married a woman from my old age house. She doesn't know where he is" Henry said "and I didn't get any clue of Mimi Tachikawa or the two other old Digidestined"
"You did a great job, Henry. Ryo is searching, too and had already found two of the young Digidestined" Takato said "He has aplan and I guess we'll meet them in the party"
"By the way, Rika agreed to go with me to the party" Henry said.
Takato was shocked. Henry always was his less popular friend and when it came to girls, Takato always introduce Henry to them, while he was dating their more popular friend. For example, when Takato became friends with Miki, Henry dated for a short time, her less popular friend, Kyumi. Now Henry was much ahead of him by asking Rika to go with him to the party and she even agreed.
"That's great" Takato said "I'm very happy for you"
"Takato, do you have a prartner for the party?" Henry asked.
"Yes, I'm going with Jeri" Takato said.
"Are you back together again?" Henry asked surprisingly.
"No, it's just I'm single and she is single and we are good friends, I think you understand" Takato said.
"Yeah" Henry said "Wait, you said that Jeri is single?"
"Yes, why? Do you want her?" Takato asked, Henry blushed and they both started laughing.
"I see it on your face" Takato said, he felt a relief that Henry actually liked Jeri and not Rika.
