Part 2
Matt opened his eyes when the he felt the sun reached her rays to the planet below. He maneuvered past his sleeping Digimon to reach the opening to the tent. Unzipping it carefully, he peeked his head outside. Kari and Sora's tent were still there.
He walked over to wake them up, but as soon as he reached the tent, he heard them talking in their sleep. "No, Datamon, stay back! Stay back!" Sora cried,"Please save me, Tai!"
He hesitated, then heard Kari,"Tai, Tai, Big Brother, come back! I know you're still alive!"
He walked back from the tent and tried to keep his temper under control. It was always Tai, never him, never anything he did! He only saved their lives, he kept Myotismon from getting Kari. But, a part of him thought, you did leave, you ran like a coward.
"Help! Help!"
Matt spun around and looked in the direction of the voice. They were in the middle of the desert, who else would be here? Looking over the horizon, he saw a figure running towards him. It was a person, no doubt, small, must be a child. He couldn't find any other differentiating features from him or her.
The person continued to yell help as he or she ran down the dune and into Matt's view.
"Well, I'll be!" he said to himself,"Its a kid! A little girl!"
"Help me!" she cried, hysterically, running right into his arms,"Please help me."
"Sure," he said, trying to calm her down,"I'll help you, please, tell me what's wrong!"
She looked up into his eyes. She had large brown eyes, filled with strength and determination. Her brown hair was long, reaching her shoulders, but a part of it was puffed up on top of her head, giving an almost nest like appearance to her. Matt was sure he saw her somewhere before.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Had to leave the city," she cried,"They took my father, they captured him! HE has him now."
"Who?" Matt asked,"Who has your father?"
"Myotismon," she said as though she was talking about the devil himself. Then again, if you were living in Tokyo, he would be the devil.
"Myotismon?" Matt asked,"Then, you came from Tokyo?"
"Yes," she said, nearly out of breath. Matt could tell she was seconds away from passing out, but he needed to know some more details about her.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is...Miko Kamiya," she said, fainting in Matt's arms.
"Kamiya?!"
Kari continued to stare at the young girl sleeping, the fire reflected on her face. She just couldn't stop staring at her. Matt told her that she said her name was Kamiya, but how could that be? She couldn't be her brother's child, could she? If Kari was an aunt, she wanted to know who the mother was.
Kari watched her turn in her sleep. She did look A LOT like her brother. The hair, the eyes, even the way she slept. After having spent nearly all her life sleeping in the same room as Tai, she got to know how he moved in his sleep, and this girl had Tai written all over her.
Kari felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Sora. "Hey, Kari, how are you feeling?"
Kari regarded the older girl. "I'm fine," she said,"How are you feeling? You're the one who would be hurt the most by this."
She turned red. "What is that's supposed to mean?"
"Come on! You think I don't know? I've known about you and Tai probably before you've known!"
"How, how did you know?"
"Come on! I'm not blind!"
Sora stared at the young girl across the fire. "I...I guess I'm feeling pretty upset. I...I do love your brother, but...but if this is her daughter, then he has to have found someone else, right?"
Kari didn't want to tell her this, but she felt like she had to."Oh, she is Tai's daughter, make no mistake about that!"
Sora started crying softly. "Sora, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset..."
She cut her off. "Its not your fault, Kari. Its just, its been so long since I last saw him, its time's fault! Its this whole blasted war!"
They heard a moan from the young girl. Sora had said the last part louder than she wanted to, and now she had accidentally woke up their visitor.
She woke up, startled. "Who-who are you?"
"I'll answer that!" Matt said, walking out of the tent. Sitting down between Kari and Sora, he said,"My name is Yamto Ishida, this is Sora Takenouchi, and this is Kari Kamiya."
He had said Kamiya with more emphases than the rest, hoping it would invoke a positive response. He was right.
The young girl's face lit up. "Kari Kamiya? Hikari Kamiya?"
Kari nodded.
"That means that...that you're my aunt!"
"Then you ARE Tai's child?"
"Yes, my name is Miko Kamiya."
Everyone wanted to ask her questions. Matt wanted to know about the status of Tokyo, Kari wanted to know about her brother, but before they could ask, Sora's question came out first. "Who's your mother?"
Miko stared at her. When she looked into those big, brown eyes, Sora saw Tai, and for the first time in ten years, Sora was at peace.
"Mimi Tachikawa."
Sora felt her inner peace detonate around her. "What?!"
Kari and Matt looked at each other, each one thinking,"Tai and Mimi?!"
Miko cringed back at the sound of Sora's response. "M-Mimi's my mommy," she said again.
Sora started to cry softly. She got up and ran into the tent. Kari was about to go after her, when Matt grabbed her arm. "Let her be for now, we have something more important to discuss."
Turning to Miko, he said,"Now, tell me about Tai."
"Myotismon captured him. He's going to use my father as bait to find the Eight Child. Myotismon is going to take over the world!"
"No!" Matt said, standing up,"Kari, go tell Sora that we are leaving!"
"Where are we going?"
Matt turned to the east,"Back to Tokyo!"
Meanwhile, in Siberia, Joe had just entered the bar. It was a relief from the frigid temperature outside, but it was a close one. While it was much warmer inside the bar, the stench was enough to kill a skunk. However, he needed information.
He was about to take a deep breath, but thought better of it. Instead, he just walked over to the bar. "You called me?" he asked the bartender.
"Yeah," the bartender said,"Two things, first, It seems Tai Kamiya was kidnapped by Myotismon."
"Oh no," Joe said,"Great. What else?"
"Secondly, Myotismon had sent out spies to try and find the rest of the Digidestined, and guess what, I'm one of them!"
Joe felt a massive blow to the head before passing out.
