Hi all, this is Tai's song fic. His song is in French but the translation is next to it. The title is 'tu peux partir' which means 'you can leave' in French. It's sung by La Chicane. It's about Tai coping with Kari's death.
This has nothing to do with my other fics, like almost all my other song-fics. And this takes place about 8 years after season 2.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, they are owned by Saban (and other people). I do not make any profit out of this. I do this for my own amusement and those of others who read this. Nor do I own the song that I use.
Well enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tai was in an apartment and there was a lot of stuff strewn around everywhere, and there were boxes piled in a corner.It seemed like a packing day. He looked around the room and took a deep breath.
'This was the last place she was...' He thought sadly. He continued placing items into a box and came upon a picture that the original digidestined took when they left the digiworld. Kari had framed it. Tai bought his hand to it and slowly caressed his sister face on the photo.
~J'te vois encore quand t'es pas là (I still see you even if you're not there)~
He sighed and placed it with the other objets. Not too long ago Kari had moved out of the Kamiya's apartment. She was doing great for herself but .... Tai shook his head. It won't do any good if he kept thinking. He had to clean the apartment out for the landlord. His friends had come earlier to help, but Kari never liked to throw things out, so there was still a lot to do. Tai looked out of the window, and saw it was already dark.
~Quand il fait noir c'est encore pire (And when it's dark it's even worse)~
Tai took another deep breath and shuddered. He never liked the dark. Even if he was 22 , it still made him feel uncomfortable. Kari, even though she was younger was always there for him. Weird, the big brave older brother scared of the dark and the frail little sister always there to reassure him. Always there for him through everything . Wether to scold him for being an idiot or to comfort him with a hug after a heart-break.
~Y'a un vide quand je croise les bras (There is a empty space when I close my arms.)~
Tai shook his head. He really had to stop thinking of her. There was nothing that could be done, nothing he could do.
~Y'a rien à faire, j'peux plus me mentir (There is nothing to do, I can't lie anymore)~
'Kari won't be coming back' He told himself. 'Now, continue to pack.'
~Déjà cinq mois à essayer (It's already been five months that I'm trying)~
~De ramasser ce que t'as laissé (to pick up some stuff you left behind)~
~Fermer les boîtes pour plus te sentir (To close the boxes to not smell you anymore)~
Tai hurried to finish packing the box, but he simply couldn't. With every object he picked up, he thought of something she had said.
~J'entends de moins en moins tes mots (I hear less and less of your words)~
~Depuis qu'il te pousse des ailes dans le dos (Ever since wings grew in you back)~
"Get a grip Tai! She's dead!" He told himself. He wiped a tear from his eye, but they just kept coming. He remembered the night too well.
~~~~~~~
"Well, I must say Kari this is quite a nice apartment you've got here." Tai whistled at Kari's new home.
"Thanks Tai!" She said cheerfully. Tai looked at the time.
"I don't wanna be rude--"
"You're always rude." She teased him playfully. Her brother gave her a mock-glare , which only made her laugh, and continued.
"... but I have to go." He finished.
"Awww... You have to?" She did a little pout.
"Sorry Kari, but I have to." He told her.
"I know. Well the i'll see you. You'll come back tomorrow right? I need someone to bring up my new couch!" She yelled after him as he left.
~~~~~~~
~Tu voulais pas que je parte ce soir là (You didn't want me to leave that night)~
"Kari I'm so sorry. If only I knew. I shouldn't have left you. I'm sorry" He said to the empty apartment.
~~~~~~~~
"Hey Matt can you help me bring up the couch?" Tai said while dragging it up the particularly tight stairs. Kari had asked him to go and get it from the store and bring it to her apartment. He asked Matt to come, but his friend always got distracted or found some excuse.
"Tai, can't you see I'm talking to this lovely lady?" Matt replied.
"MATT! Get your butt over here and help me. This thing is really heavy." Tai yelled.
"Ok, ok." Matt went over on the other side and pushed the couch up. They were almost there. The elevator was broken so they had to do the hard way. "Why did Kari order a couch anyway?" Matt muttered.
"Don't worry Matt, just one last flight." Tai said encouragingly.
"Oh, what joy, another flight...." The two men finally got it to Kari's floor.
"So were is Kari's apartment?" Matt asked.
"It's at the end of the hallway." The blond boy groaned. He stretched his muscles. You know, music stars don't have much stamina.
"Hey what is that?" Matt pointed to the end of the hallway, close to Kari's apartment. There was a group of people gathered there.
"I don't know..." Tai sprinted towards them. As he came closer he could see that it wasn't close to Kari's apartment, but was at Kari's apartment. He also noticed that some of them had uniforms.
'Paramedics?' He approached the mob and asked the first person. "Excuse me but what is going on?" The person he asked was an elderly woman. She turned to him.
"Oh, the new tenant died." She said. Tai's legs went numb.
"Died?" He repeated. The woman nodded.
"She was such a nice girl too..." Tai didn't listen to what she said. He bolted into the apartment, and there he saw her, his sister on the floor, dead.
"No, no, it can't be true..... How?"
~~~~~~~~~
~Quand je t'ai trouvée, t'étais plus là (When I found you, you weren't there anymore)~
"Epilepsy, it can strike anytime...." Tai said to himself.
~Depuis que t'es petite que c'est comme ça (Since you're a kid, it's like this)~
"The patient who suffers from it does not control his or her body in an attack. They don't remember what happened to them afterwards." Tai continued.
~Toutes ces blessures qui te rappelaient (All of your pain makes you remember)~
~Ce que tu te souvenais même pas (What you don't recall)~
"Sometimes the patient will fall and wound themselves. In same cases this results in fatal injury, if the blow was to the head...." Tai babbled. Those were the reasons the doctors gave him. He remembered them and often repeated them.
~Le dernier choc qui est venu te chercher (The attack that came and got you)~
~Dans un malaise qui t'as prise par surprise (In a hurt that took you by suprise)~
Tai couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stay in the apartment. Everything reminded him of his late sister. He left in a hurry and once in the street he ran and ran. He didn't know where he was going , but he had to go.
~J'aurais jamais pensé que tu me manquerais autant (I would have never thought I would miss you so much)~
His feet had carried him to the park he often went with her when they were younger. He passed a swing set. Kari loved those. He imagined her there, swinging herself, going higher and higher each time.
~Tu peux voler, je vais m'arranger pour oublier l'image... (You can fly, I'll try to forget the image....)~
~...de ton corps sur le plancher (Of your body on the floor)~
He then saw her slowly disappear, the swing returning to it's initial position.
She was gone, he had to face it.
~Salut ma belle (Goodbye Beautiful)~
~Tu peux partir (You can leave)~
~J't'embrasse (I Kiss you)~
~J't'oublie pas (I won't forget you)~
~Tu peux mourir (You can die)~
Tai knew what he needed to do. He had to be strong , like Kari would say.
~J'entends de moins en moins tes mots (I hear less and less of your words)~
He walked towards the cemetery, which was next to the park.
~Depuis qu'il te pousse des ailes dans le dos (Ever since wings grow in you back)~
....slowly but surely. ...
~Tu voulais pas que je parte ce soir là (You didn't want me to leave that night)~
...one step at the time....
~Quand je t'ai trouvée, t'étais plus là (When I found you, you weren't there anymore)~
...he would get there. Tai could almost hear the wind whispering to him to advance.
~J'entends de moins en moins tes mots (I hear less and less your words)~
~Depuis qu'il te pousse des ailes dans le dos (Ever since wings grow in you back)~
~Tu voulais pas que je parte ce soir là (You didn't want me to leave that night)~
~Quand je t'ai trouvée, t'étais plus là (When I found you, you weren't there anymore)~
Once he got there, he went to the middle of it, he went to her tombstone. A little angel decorated it. He knelt down and placed his hand on it. And gave a small good bye kiss.
~J't'embrasse (I kiss you)~
Tears painted his face, but he some how managed a small smile.
~J't'oublie pas (I won't forget you)~
He looked at the sky and took a deep breath. It seemed like a huge weight had just been lifted from his shoulders.
~Tu peux partir (You can leave)~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So what do you think? Any good? Tell me.
Oh and when it says 'I kiss you' well don't take it as incest OK? It's a sort of expression. Like saying good bye. OK? I'm open-minded, but really incest, no.
Well, that was Tai's song fic. The song was 'Tu peux partir' and it's by La Chicane.
Bye bye
