Disclaimer: I don't own digimon.

A/N: This is the sequel to Changed Destiny. I strongly suggest you read that fic before you read this one! Otherwise you won't get it!

And I will continue Born Of Angels for all of you who are freaking because I started this one. I got bored with B.O.A. I'll start it again soon. I can do two at a time.

By the way, only like a few seconds ago did I realize how much Dai and Tai are alike. JUst so you know I did not mean to do that, it just happened that was. Its really corny, isn't it?


What The Future Brings

Dai glanced around after entering the Digital World. He went there every day. Never missing for any reason. He worried about leaving Kari on her own for too long. Yes, he did realize that she had lived a whole year alone with out him and the others. But he didn't want her to go through that again.

Today was the day. For once he'd make her forget about protecting the Digital World. Today he was taking her back to the real world and he wasn't taking no for answer. He had taken the day off from school and he was taking her out like real friends.

He saw her. She sat by the river legs dangling into the water. Gatomon stared into the water fiercely, looking for fish. He sat down beside her and she looked up smiling. "Dai. What are you doing here?"

Dai was about to reply when Gatomon spoke up instead. "Hey! You scared all the fish away!"

"Sorry Gatomon, I'll make it up to you," Dai replied. He looked at Kari again. "I told you I'd be here first thing in the morning."

"And I told you to go to school and not to worry about me.

"Like I'd listen," he laughed. She frowned at him. "I was planning this day for awhile. Do you know what today is?" She shook her head. "It's been exactly a year now. I became a Digidestined and I met you."

"That's great! Were you just coming to spend the day?"

"Nope. I'm taking you back to the real world."

She frowned and shook her head. "I can't go, Dai. I'm sorry."

"I'm not taking no for an answer. If I have to pick you up and carry you to the port then I will."

She pulled her feet from the water. "Sorry, Dai. I'd love to, but no."

"Okay." He stood up and she pulled on her used to be white tennis shoes thinking they'd go for a walk or something. He slipped an arm around her waist and lifted her into the air. She yelped. "I warned you."

He carried Kari to the digiport. "Put me down!"

"Jump on, Gatomon." Gatomon jumped on and sat on his shoulder. "Digiport open!"

"No Dai!" A blast of light surrounded her and she closed her eyes. A loud thud and weight on top of her brought her back. She opened her eyes and saw Dai on top of her. "Get off of me, you jerk!" Dai grinned like an idiot. "I told you no."

"And I told you too bad."

"I can't go. What if people recognize me?"

"Who cares? I'm the leader. I say you can."

"I can't. I look horrible!"

"Girls," he rolled his eyes. "I figured you'd say that. Hold on." He turned away and she glanced around. They were standing in a neat little bedroom. Dai knelt down and reached under the bed. He pulled out a large white box with a pink ribbon tied around it and handed it to her.

"Dai, what is this?" She asked with a sigh.

He smiled. "Open it."

She pulled off the ribbon and pulled the top off. Inside were a soft pink tank top and a pair of kaki shorts. "Oh, Dai." She ran her hand over the fabric. "Why?"

"Because I want to make sure you have no excuse to not go!" He laughed. "Besides I thought it would be nice. I'll let you get dressed and then we're going out." He turned and walked toward the door. "Just come out when you're done. No ones home."

Kari did as he asked and pulled on the clothes he had given her. They fit perfectly because Dai knew her size. Of course Dai knew that. Dai knew everything about her. When he had first came to the digital world a year ago she had been alone for a year. Yes, she had Gatomon and the other digimon that belonged to her friends to watch her, but she didn't have any human friends.

Then Dai and Cody and Yolie and Ken came. They had found her playing in a field with Gatomon. At first the new kids embarrassed her. Her clothes had been worn and she was very quiet still. But they proved to be good people. And they were the Digidestined.

Dai was the only one her age. Seventeen. Yolie and Ken were both eighteen. Cody was fifteen. They had all listen quietly while she told her story of somehow getting trapped in the Digital World. Instantly Dai became her best friend and he became overprotective of her. He had taken on the job as leader of the group and he felt it was his duty to watch over her.

She looked over at herself in a mirror that was tacked up on the back of the door. It surprised her, her reflection. She had not seen herself with out ripples going through the image.

She opened the door and walked down a short hall. She came into what looked like a living room. There was a couch in the room where Dai sat. Kari walked forward and saw Gatomon and Veemon playing on the floor. The floor creaked under her and Dai looked up.

He smiled and stood up. "How do I look?" Kari asked.

"Great," he replied. He held out a hand to her. "Shall we go?" She nodded.

"Davis, are we going?" Veemon asked.

"Do you want to?" Davis asked. Veemon looked at Gatomon and they both shook their heads. "Okay, you can stay here. Just don't get into trouble. And if my parents come home, which I'm sure they won't, stay out of sight." They nodded innocently. "Let's go." He led Kari to the door and they walked out.

They walked out of the apartment building and Kari looked around wide-eyed. "I forgot how tall all the buildings are." He smiled. "So where are you talking me today?"

"Well, first I thought I'd take you out to breakfast and then maybe go see a movie." The walked down the street and somehow Dai's hand worked its way into hers.

"That sounds like a date."

"And how would you know? You haven't gone on a date in at least two years."

"You want to know a secret?"

"Something I don't actually know about you?" He asked in fake shock. "Of course."

"I've never gone on a date in my entire life."

"Really?" He asked, surprised. He figured a girl like Kari would have had no trouble getting a date. Then it struck him. "Oh, because of the heart thing?" She nodded. "Well, it looks like I'll be your first." She laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, is it doing okay?" Dai asked. Kari stopped looking around the restaurant and gave him a funny look. "Your heart."

"Its doing okay, but recently its been acting up. Like right now I've been getting these really bad pains!" Her face convulsed into a face of pain as she clutched her shirt.

"Kari, are you okay?" Dai asked scared.

She smiled, "Gotcha!"

He fumed and slapped her hand, which had been resting on the table. "Don't to that again," he scolded.

She rubbed her hand. "I'm sorry, but I've never been able to do that before without it being true. It was just a joke, Dai." She blushed in embarrassment.

"Well, It wasn't funny."

"Don't' be so overprotective."

"Well, I have to be overprotective because you're not cautious enough."

"I'm done bring cautious! I was cautious for sixteen years!" Her fingers laced with his. "I want to be reckless. Like you."

"I'm not reckless."

"Well, I wouldn't call blowing up Andromon's factory cautious!" She shot back.

"Oh, you just had to bring that up!" The waitress brought two plates and set them down. Kari stared down at it. She hadn't had this kind of food in so long. "Are you going to stare it into your stomach?" Dai joked. Kari looked at him and blushed before eating.

They ate in silence. Dai chuckled as Kari ate. She seemed to be savoring every bite. Sure, he had brought her food from the real world plenty of times, but it wasn't the same. When he gave it to her it was usually cold.

"You like?" She nodded. "Then we'll have to do it again sometime." When they were done he got up and paid the check.

"I'm going to find someway to pay you back," Kari announced as they left the restaurant.

"Why? I wanted to do this," he replied. "You're my best friend in the entire two worlds. Don't feel guilty. So, movies?" She looked up and nodded. "Great! Because I heard about this great make out movie!" They both laughed. "Come on, I looked all through the papers and I found a real funny one!"

Tai sat at his desk, staring off into space. He wasn't thinking about anything unparticular, just staring. Every so often his thoughts would drift to a subject, but he would just shove it to the back of his mind. His elbows rested on the top of his psychology book as he stared out the window up at the light blue sky.

"Tai, shouldn't you be studying?" Izzy asked.

Tai looked up at the boy who was seated at his computer on the other side of the room. "Whether I'm studying or not is none of your business!" Tai snapped.

"Geez, I was just asking a question! I guess it really is no business of mine if you fail or not."

"Yeah, whatever," Tai stood up and walked out of the room. When he returned he had a brown bottle in his hand.

"Tai, throw it away," Izzy said as he stood up.

"It's a root beer, Izzy." Izzy held out his hand and Tai handed him the bottle. He read over the label before handing it back to Tai. "You know I gave that up."

"I have to make sure, Tai," Izzy replied, glumly. He returned to his work at the computer.

"Its not your job to watch over me." Tai popped the lid off the bottle and took a swig as he collapsed in his chair.

"I'm your friend, so I think it is."

Tai looked away. "I don't deserve you." Apparently Izzy didn't hear him because he didn't reply. Or maybe he just didn't want to get into another fight.

Dai and Kari sat side by side in the park each holding an ice cream cone in their hands. They were both laughing at quiet jokes as they waited for their other friends to meet them. Cody, Yolie, and Ken were to meet them there and then they were to go to a nightclub Dai had mentioned.

"So, are you going to answer or not?" Kari asked as she bit into the ice cream cone.

"Answer what?"

"Answer what? Answer what?! The same question I've been asking over and over and over again!" He gave her an innocent look. "Is there anyone you like?"

Dai thought for a minute. "No. There's really no one." He bit into the ice cream and when he looked up he had dark cream smeared on his nose. Kari laughed. "What?!"

TK looked both ways as he crossed the street into the park. He held his silver cell phone tightly to his ear. "Matt, when are you coming back?" He asked, continuing his conversation with his brother.

"In four days. Pick Sora and me up at gate 6. We'll be there at 4 o'clock," Matt replied, talking slowly so his brother would understand.

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Hold on a sec, Sora wants to talk to you."

"Okay, put her on."

There was the sound of shuffling as Matt's phone got passed around. "He-hello? TK?" A girl's voice rang out.

"Sora, hi! What's up?" TK asked with a smile. He loved Sora. She was a lot of fun and a perfect person to talk to. Plus she was wonderful to his brother.

"Hi TK!" She yelled, excited. "How's it going?"

"Good, you?" TK slipped past kids playing on the swings.

"I'm fine. Trying to keep up with my studies while trying to keep up with your brother."

"Well, no one said you had to go with him. You could have stayed here with me!" TK joked. He heard Sora laugh on the other line. "How's your relationship going? I don't have to track you down and beat him up from neglecting you, do I?"

Sora laughed again. "No, we're going good. I still love him, the pain!"

"I heard that!" TK heard Matt yell in the background.

"So, how's everyone doing?"

"Well, Mimi's excited right now because Joe's coming home for a few weeks. Izzy's still grumpy about the school messing up his credits and having to take three classes over to graduate," TK replied.

"I would be too," Sora added. "And Tai?"

"He's doing okay. He's still trying to avoid everyone, but Izzy's been watching over him a lot."

"I feel so bad for leaving. After all he's been through," Sora started.

"Don't even start that! Tai's fine! He's been sober for a while now. He'll be fine. You just worry about finishing your work and keeping my brother in line!"

TK walked past the sand box. He looked across at a bench on the other side where he saw a guy and a girl sitting there eating ice cream. The girl looked strangely familiar. Long brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin.

"Sora, I gotta go!" He turned off his phone before Sora could say anything. Could it be? No it couldn't. She's dead! But it looks just like her. He opened his mouth to call to her when….

Well, there's two. I stuck in that part with the ice cream because I really don't know if I'm gonna hook Kari up with anyone. Tell me what you think. If you want Kari hooked up tell me. Then tell me if you think she'd be better with Dai or TK. Please Reveiw!!!
