hp This is the prologue. It basically just tells you what has happened, since it's unlike what actually happens. I don't care if their ages aren't exact. I picked on Daisuke for a reason, and it's not because I don't like him. I actually DO like him now, I think he's funny.

And thank you to Moira Brennan, for the list of Japanese names, which helped me with the kids and husbands/wives.

Hostage - Prologue

It was eighteen years since the second group of Digidestined had come together. Sora, Yamato, Taichi, Jyou, and Mimi were 32. Koushiro was 31. Hikari, Takeru, Miyako, and Ken were 30. Iori was 27.

Sadly, Daisuke had been in a fatal car crash once he was 20.

Everybody had gotten married, and had/are having kids.

Sora and Yamato were married, and had two children, Hanako, 8, and Akio, 5.

Hikari and Takeru were also married, and had twin girls, Midori and Michiko ("Chiko"), 6.

Miyako and Ken were the last married Digidestined, and had one child, Masato, 5.

Taichi married an American woman named Denise, and they had a boy who was named after Daisuke, and he is 7.

Jyou married a woman named Umeko, and they had one little girl, Yuki, who is 4.

Mimi married Taro, a Japanese exchange student she met during her few years in New York. Mimi is expecting the baby to be born soon.

Iori met a nice girl when he was in 7th grade, and the became fast friends. He married the girl, Chiyo, and they are expecting their baby in five months.

For Koushiro, life wasn't so nice. He had married a woman named Riku. They had a child, a boy they named Jordan. Riku died of cancer when Jordan was three, so Koushiro had to take care of the little boy all by himself. Jordan is now 7.

That Saturday, Hikari and Takeru had gone over to Sora and Yamato's. They were watching Masato, since Miyako and Ken both had to work that day. The five kids had gone downstairs to play, while the adults talked upstairs. "The other day, Akio was in the living room, watching T.V., while Hanako was on the back deck. I guess she decided to see how easily she could scare her little brother, because she started banging on the window. I've never heard that boy scream so loud," Sora said. Takeru laughed. "It's Chiko's hobby to scare her sister to death. She likes going under Midori's bed and grabbing her legs before she climbs in." Hikari smiled. "Speaking of those two, I'm going to go check on the kids. I'll be right back," she said, and slipped out of the room.

She walked down the stairs, and saw that the kids were all being good. Akio, Masato, and Michiko were playing with the toy cars. Hanako was teaching Midori hopscotch on the rug. "You kids all okay?" she asked. They all replied with either a, "Yeah!" or a, "Yes, Mom/Auntie." She smiled again. "Okay. You be good down here." They nodded.

As Hikari walked back up the stairs, she heard a crash. And she could have sworn she heard Sora scream. She went back upstairs quickly as she could without making the kids nervous, only to find nobody was there, and a broken window.
