" I sentence you Ryan Hashiba to life in prison
without the chance for parole.
" Hey Kari, hey Tai!"
" Just let me walk by myself Matt I don't need you
to hover around me while I'm walking, that's why they gave me walking
rehabilitation in the hospital."
" Well Kari I got special orders from the doctors saying that you still need help in some situations."
" Well did those situations include helping me walk?"
" Well now that you mention it, it did."
" Liar, you are such a bad liar Matt, I bet Cody could even lie better than you"
" Well I recall that I had to lie to Jun Motomiya
when you were eleven and stuck in the digiworld with andromon after you."
" Oh my the horror, having to lie to Jun and having
to take her out when she said that she already knew you lying and that she
wouldn't tell her parent s you were lying to her."
" How did you know that?" Now it was Kari's turn to grin.
" I got a lot of information from Davis when he told
me, when I saw Jun look at you with those starry eyes, and that
puppy-dog-I'm-in-love-girl look."
" How do you know that look?"
" Because Davis always looked at me like that except wasn't called puppy-dog-I'm-in-love-girl look it was called the 'Puppy-dog-I'm-infatuated-with you- look', that's the guy's look, and the other name is for the girls."
" Oh, thank you Miss Informative."
" Your welcome Mister." Kari got out the keys and opened the door.
" When is Tai coming back?"
" I don't know, he said that he had to go over
Sora's house." Kari looked at Matt and saw a brief look of pain flash across
his eyes and disappear, " Matt what happened between you and Sora?"
" Well one hour before I found you in that alley way," This time it was Kari's turn to close her eyes in remembered pain, " I went over to Sora's house because she had called me and asked me to come over, well when I went over to her house, she didn't even let me in, she just said to me….
(Flash Back)
" Matt I think we should talk."
" About what Sora, why can't we do this inside?"
" Matt I…I…I think that we should be seeing other
people."
" WHAT!?
" Matt I knew you react this way!" She
" React what way?!"
" This way!
" Well what do expect me to do, just nod and walk
away, like I didn't care about you!?"
" Matt please just leave."
" What did you say?"
" I said LEAVE!!!!!"
(End Flash Back)
" And after that I walked around the park and was
headed home, then I found you."
" Well I need some exercise, you Matt are not gonna help me on this one," she said when Matt got off the couch and bent down to pick her up, " I just need to go to the kitchen Matt, I'm not gonna walk to the Tamachi district." Matt sighed and stood up.
Kari took hold of his arm for support and stood up on wobbly legs then took a step, after about four steps she finally got the hang of it again and walked rather stiffly to the kitchen and to the refrigerator.
" Kari what are you getting?" He asked leaning against the doorframe.
" I'm just getting some soda Matt, do you want one?"
" Sure, I'll take whatever you give me."
" Well you better be specific or else I'll give you
this nutritional Soda that my Mom drinks."
" What do you have?"
" We have Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, and that's it." She said looking at him over the refrigerator door.
" I'll take a Sprite.
" Really?
" Do you need help?"
" No… I mean yes." She said taking hold of his hand
then grabbed his shoulder for support,

" Kari please."
" No."
" Please."
" I said no Matt, you can't beat the crap out of Tai, and my answer stands."
" Damn, I thought that I could persuade you."
" Well when I have a made up mind, I stick to it."
" Damn it was worth the try."
"
" Sorry to say Kari, but you just sounded like those girls that are kidnapped and put over a guys shoulder and say, ' put me down this instant,' while trying to get away from the guy." Matt said smirking at her.
" Evil Man."
"
" Aw, but Tai I liked her here so that I can have
easy access to her mouth."
" And what makes you think that I'll let you keep me
in your arms Ishida?"
Tai looked at the both of them in amazement, before
Kari was never able to make Matt smile that he was the dog that hit too many
times, or make him fumble for words and blush, so he wondered what happened, "
I would let go Matt before she tries to throw you out the window."
" Alright Ishida what was that about?"
" It was nothing Tai," Matt thought; although he
thought what it would be like if he kissed her for real.
" Yeah right Matt, before she would never be able to
make you all nervous and fumble for words, are you dating my sister
secretly?"
" No Tai!" Matt said quickly.
" Am I supposed to believe that?"
" Yes…well no."
" See, you your self said that I shouldn't believe
that.
" Well it started after Kari got raped, I couldn't
help but be attracted to her!
" So now you like my sister." He said flatly.
" Yes Tai."
" Now I feel like throwing you out the window."
" Please Tai don't, I don't want to her so soon
after her incident."
" I won't say anything to her Matt so get off the floor,"
Matt got up, " It's not too soon Matt, Kari practically loves you already!
" I just didn't think that you would like me wanting to go out with your sister."
" Well you're her confidant and I think she would
most comfortable around you."
" When did you become observant?"
" When Davis tried to go out with Kari one year ago, and Kari came home steaming mad because Davis wouldn't leave her alone the whole day at school, she told me he was practically stalking her."
" Good thing Davis didn't stalking her or else he would be the one in jail."
" Yeah, but I don't think that Davis would trying to
rape Kari, I think that he knows Kari means a lot to all of the digidestined,
she has the crest of Light and without her, then all there would be is
darkness, she holds the most responsibility, and you're the one that helped her
not to be with be darkness, you're the one that helped her light shine
brighter."
" You're becoming quite the speech person, you know that Tai."
" It helps speaking in speeches."
" Tai how do you think I'll ever have a chance with Kari?"
" You will Matt, I know you will.
" I hope your right Tai, because Kari is helping me too," Tai looked at him strangely, " She's helping me get over the break up between Sora and me."
" Hey I'm sorry man, but I didn't go out with Sora
when you where going out with her, after she broke up with you she called me
and asked me if I could come over.
" I wasn't accusing you Tai, I was just saying that Kari is helping me get over it, and I can see that your helping Sora."
" Yeah."
" Well I'm gonna go, Kari is probably asleep and
I'll just see how she is." Matt said reaching for the door handle.
" Hello Matt."
" Hey Kari, I'm hafta go."
" Matt could I talk to you?"
" Uh sure Kari."
" Gatomon could you go outside for a moment?"
" Sure Kari."
" Matt don't be angry, but I was in the kitchen and
I heard you and Tai talking ad I overheard something that you said," Matt's
face paled, 'She Heard!' His mind was screaming, " Matt why didn't you
say in the first place that you liked me?"
' Why do I have to explain now?!' His mind
screamed at him, " Kari I…I…I didn't think that you accept me.
" That doesn't explain anything as to why I wouldn't
accept you Matt.
' Oh God, did she say what I think she said?
" Matt…I…I love you too."
" Because I love you so much." Matt hugged her
tighter,

" Finally got Matt to commit eh Kari?" Mimi said
looking at Kari through the mirror.
" We're not committed yet Mimi."
" So?
" Say married Mimi, it sounds like we're two criminals finally getting caught and getting committed to a prison."
" Fine then I'll say married."
" And the second of us to get married, Sora how do like being married to my brother?"
" He can be lazy sometimes, but he likes to do
whatever he can."
" How about you Yolei?"
" Well Koushiro did ask me," She said shyly showing them the ring that Koushiro gave her, " He asked me one month ago, I'm surprised that none of you guys noticed."
" Well all three of us were making plans for Kari's
wedding remember?"
" That's right!
" Kari are you in there!?" A voice asked from outside.
" Yes Dad!"
" Can I come in?"
" Sure Dad"
" You should've have seen Matt just a moment ago."
" And what did he do?"
" He was pacing the floor and sweating like he was
in hell.
" Oh poor Matt,"
" Any time,"
" Well its time."
" So Kari tell me is this your first time( A/N:
Think people, think) on the honeymoon?"
" Yolei if I wasn't in my dress right now I would
kill you."
" So it's not the first time?"
" No its not the first time Ok, is that all

" Yeah if we don't hurry up we're gonna be late."

The priest said,

" I do."
" By the authority invested in me by the country of
Japan I now prononce you Mr. and Mrs. Ishida.
" Yeah sure." Then Matt bent down and brushed his
lips against hers.
" You will forget what happened three years ago
Kari."
" I already have Matt, I already have, so just put your arms around me."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Kari do you want something to drink?"
" Matt could you please leave me alone.
" I made you breakfast."
" Matt you're getting too over protective." Matt grinned.
" Good because I want our child to healthy."
" What are we gonna name her?"
" How a bout the police officer's name that helped us four years ago."
" You mean Ayame?"
" Yeah, Ayame Ishida."
" Sounds nice, now let me eat."
" Sure."
