"Hey mom, I'm home" Tk called, entering his apartment. He walked in to se his mother still in the same position she was when he left. It looked as if she hadn't moved a muscle all day.

"Hello, dear. How was your day?"

"Eh Alright, you know how first days are" Tk replied, collapsing on the couch. He had homework he still needed to do. Homework. On the first day, school never ceased to amaze him. He slowly got off the couch and went into his room to finish his homework, all the while thinking about his walk home.

He never noticed it, but it really had been along time since he walked with Kari home. Sure, Willis was there, but all of a sudden, he didn't mind Willis as much as he used to. In fact, he really liked Willis. He was so confused now, but he was thankful to have a headstrong friend like Davis to put him in line every once in a while.

Tk sat at his desk and pulled out his books and started to do his homework. It was difficult, he had too much floating around in his head, but he managed.

And before long the school year started flying (and due to the writer's laziness we will be going through another time skip. BANZAI xD )


Soon the cherry blossoms of spring came and went and the summer started to beat down on Odaiba once again. But that soon came and gone too, and autumn arrived with it's multi-fashion coat.

As for Tk and his situation, it stayed pretty neutral during this time. He became closer friends with Willis, and kept his old rituals with Kari, but all the while just becoming more confused within himself. He hadn't seen the older digidestin in along time. Not since the picnic the year before. (Some more stuff happened, but due to the narrator's laziness, again, we are going to skip it)


There Tk was, almost 3/4th way through the year, sitting in class. Not paying the slightest bit of attention to the rambling physics teacher in the front. Instead, he was looking out the window, just staring, nothing more, nothing less.

"Mr. Takaishi!" The teacher screamed loudly, snapping Tk out of his daze "Would you be so kind to tell us what gravitational waves are?"

"Er…uhh…" seemed to be the only thing coming out of his mouth "Well-" He was pretty much up shit's creek. He had no ideal what the answer was, but then again, how could he? He hadn't been paying the slightest bit of attention.

"Gravitational Waves are fluctuation in the curvature of spacetime which propagates as a wave, traveling outward from a moving object or system of objects." Said a familiar voice from the back of the classroom.

"Correct, Ms. Yagami, but I don't remember giving you permission to speak." Said Mr. Hougaku "Mr. Takaishi, you have detention for not paying attenton in my class. And Ms. Yagami, you will also be joining him later today for speaking out of turn."

"But-" Came another voice from the front row (incase you are wonder, yes, the seats changed during the year) It was Davis, and he was about half way jumping out of his seat.

"Mr. Motomiya, do you want a detention too?" Mr. Hougaku cut in before Davis could really say anything.

"No sir." Davis said quitely, taking his seat again. He doubt he could afford another detention, anymore and he'd be in more trouble then he already was. Davis had to cool himself off for this one, and that was easier sad then done. Especially for Davis, but he managed. He wasn't the child of mircles for nothing.

Tk just sighed and looked out the window again. Wishing that he was back in the digital world, sure it was dangerous there, but everything was so much simplier. He took is gaze off the window and look behind him. He saw Kari looking down at her desk, she had a sad face, but she looked up at him. 'Sorry' Tk mouthed to her, and gave a sympathetic face. She just nodded her head and smiled. He then reverted his attention back to the outside.


The school bell rang, but Tk wasn't thrilled. He had to serve his detention, and unfortunately he got Kari mixed up in it too.

Tk stayed in his seat until all of the kids were gone, all of the kids except for him and Kari, who was in the row behind him.

"So, what would be a fitting punishment for you two?" Asked Mr. Hougaku, walking in the classroom. "What? No reply? What's wrong? You two were so talkative in class today. Ah, well, let me think…it's autumn now; the senior dance will be in a few weeks…How about you two go clean the auditorium and rake the leaves in the back court. That's fitting, no?"

Still no reply from either one of them, they both just quietly got up and made their way to the gym. Either one of them said a word until they got to the hallways.

"Sorry…"Tk finally said, breaking the silence.

"For what?"

"It's my fault you're here, you didn't have to try to protect me like that."

"Don't worry about it, what are friends for?" Kari said, smiling "besides, how many times have you protected me?"

Tk laughed "but that's different"

"Oh?" she asked, pulling his fishermen hat down past his eyes.

"Yeah" he said, pulling his hat back up "it is!" He said, as he pounced on her and started to tickle her furiously. She was laughing so hard she could hardly breathe. She kept squirming until she finally got free and broke into a full sprint down the hall. Tk, of coarse, chased her. It was fun for the both of them, they hadn't had this much fun with each other in such along time, it was refreshing.

Unfortunately it was put to a stop when they ran strait into Mr. Hougaku in the hall.

"This is punishment time, not social time…" He said flatly with narrowed eyes. He handed them two brooms and pointed to the auditorium doors. "Get to work, now."

"Yes sir, right away" They both said in unison and started to walk to the auditorium again.

"So, the Senoir Dance eh?" Kari asked "You going?"

"Me? Ha, no way! I can't dance" Tk said, laughing

"YOU TWO STOP TALKING!" Yelled Mr. Hougaku from down the hall

Yes sir, right away" They both said in unison again.

They both quietly took the two brooms and started to sweep the rather large auditorium. Either of them said much, Kari seemed preoccupied with something. Their detention was about an hour, and it took them about 1hour and 10 minutes to clean the entire auditorium. But the 'evil' Mr. Hougaku made them stay even longer until the backcourts were completely raked.


"Are you serious?" Tk asked, obviously shocked. "Our detention was only supposed to be an hour. It's already been an hour, why not let us go?" Tk protested again.

"Because, I set two tasks before you. You only completed one. Therefore you have one more left, and I'm not letting either one of you go until you finish."

Tk just gritted his teeth and left with Kari to get the rakes from the shed.

"Can you believe this? We're gonna be here all day at this rate" Tk complained to Kari.

Kari was obviously frustrated too, but she didn't say or show anything.

The two of them quietly went into the shed to go grab the rakes and start their miserable job so they could get out of that 'jail' faster. The sky was gray and the sun had already set. It was getting really late.

Tk could tell that something was on Kari's mind.

"So…what's up?" Tk asked her.

"Huh? Oh….well-" She started to say, but stopped suddenly.

Tk was waiting for her response, but still, she said nothing. Then he felt something wet. Huh…water? He felt another wet sensation, followed by another and another. Soon it started to pour out.

"Hey, let's get out of this" Tk said quickly, taking off his coat and holding it over both of them.

"Yeah." She said, as they both started moving under the breezeway.

When they both had gotten under cover they were left in a silence. A sort of calming silence between the two, they just stood their, staring at the rain.

"Why?" Kari asked, breaking the silence.

"Why what?" Tk retorted.

"Why…why does the sky cry?" She finally asked.

"Cry? You mean rain? Well, that happens when the water evaporates into the-"

"No, I mean…why does it cry? Did something happen?" She asked

"Wha-? What do you mean…?"

"I dunno…just…you know…wondering…"

"Ah-" Tk was cut off though, by a very familiar, stern voice.

"Consider yourselves lucky!" Said Mr. Hougaku, coming out of the school auditorium door. "It's raining and you two should probably head home. Your parents might get worried." He tossed them an umbrella and started to walk to his car.

"A-ah, Thanks!" Tk called out to him. He waved back as he got into his car. "We better get going" Tk said, averting his attention back to Kari.

"Yeah" She replied.

Tk opened the umbrella and they both walked out in the rain, both under the protection of the umbrella. Why does the sky cry? I've wondered myself…
