A/N: STONE SPIRIT LIVES AGAIN!!!!
I'm not that great at making stories horrific and terrifying, but I'm doing my best. Mimi and Izzy DO come in in this part of the ficcie. So those of you who requested them, here they are!! There is a little more blood and gore in this part as well. Thought I might warn you.^_~

You really think I should write more Soratos? I dunno. I'm usually a diehard Mimato fan. Mebee I should. Lemme think about it. I'm think of doing an Izzy/Yolei romance (-_-0). I'm also doing a Joe/Matt yaoi fic (??????), and a friendship fic between Yolei and Mimi. Sad, huh?

I toy w/ emotions? That makes me feel so happy! I love to write stories that toy w/ emotions. I also love to read stories that toy w/ MY emotions. ^_^

Obviously, that's not the entire review, but since Gore lost the election, I guess I'm not going to post the beginning of the review. Sorry, Jay. On your knees, huh? That gives me quite some power, don't you think? *laughs evilly* Okay, fine, I'm sitting down and finishing it. Happy?

Yes, I admit I am mean to Yama-chan. I can't help it; it's something I'm good at. What was with that Mimi part at the beginning? You know, it made so much sense when I wrote it, but now I guess I agree with you. -_-0 Down with Richard, eh? Sorry, peeps, but here's a spoiler.
SPOILER: Richard Ishida does Bnot/B die!!! I repeat, Richard Ishida does Bnot/B die!! What does happen to him and everyone else, though, I ain't sayin'. *looks all smug*

Mimi leaned out of her car window. " Izzy!" she called. " What are you doing at the mall?"
Izzy looked out his window at her and rolled the sheet of glass down. He blushed. " Uh, I'm checking out the Radio Shack they have!" he answered.
" Oh. Well, uh, could you, like, let me have that spot?" Mimi pleaded.
Izzy scratched his head. " I dunno. I kind of need it right now......" he mumbled.
" Izzy, it'll be only a sec!" Mimi pointed at her white outfit. " I only need a blue outfit for today!"
Izzy eyed her quizically. " Mimi? Wearing blue?" He shook his head. " It just doesn't fit." He shrugged. " I only need to grab my cell phone. I had it updated yesterday and they finished today. Geez, people work so slow."
" Izzy, it's only one outfit!"
" And matching accesories too." Izzy sighed. " Take that space over there." " It's too narrow!"
Izzy shook his head again. " Mimi, just take it. Then we can shop together. But," he added, holding up a finger, " we go to Radio Shack first. My errand will be quicker, and plus..."
" Okay, Izzy. I'm taking the other parking space." Mimi made a U-turn and slowly pulled into the narrow parking space.
Izzy pulled into his parking space and hopped out. He joined Mimi as they walked into the mall enterance, their hands almost touching. Izzy swallowed hard, resisting a sudden urge to hold the smooth, fragile hand that was so close to his. He slowly lifted his hand to bring it to hers when his cell phone rang. Sighing, he answered it.
" Hello?"
" Izzy?" It was TK's voice.
" TK? Is that you?"
" Yeah. Um, Izzy? Do you know where Matt is?"
Izzy's eyes widened. " He should be at home."
" He's not there, but our dad is. Or was."
A lump caught itself in Izzy's throat. " Was his dad angry?"
" Only a little."
" TK, are you all right? Did he hurt you?"
" So far, no. Uh, could you do me a small favor?"
Izzy nodded quickly absentmindedly. " Sure, kiddo. Anything."
" Could you, like, pick me up and get me as far away from this fucking bastard as you possible can."
" Where are you?"
" In the park, by the fountain."
" I'll be there in ten minutes."
" Thanks, Izzy."
" Anytime." He hung up and grabbed Mimi's arm quickly. His skin prickled when his skin made contact with hers. " Come on, Mimi. We need to go."
" Now?" Mimi asked. " We haven't even started shopping!"
" I know," Izzy answered, dragging her towards the door while putting his cell phone back in his pocket, " but TK and Matt need us."
Mimi's heart skipped a beat. " What? Why?" She paused. " Does it have to do with.....with Ihim/I?"
Izzy nodded. " We'll take my van. That way we can pick up Davis and the others as well."
" Do you know where Matt and TK are?" Mimi asked. Her hand grabbed the handle of Izzy's car door, passenger side.
" I know where TK is." Izzy climbed in and buckled quickly. " We have to find Matt."
TK'S POV
~~~~~~~~
I paced in front of the fountain for what seemed like hours before a familiar white van drove up. I could see Izzy and Mimi inside, along with Yolei and Cody. I waved at them as I began to sprint towards them. Seeing them made my heart lift with a little bit of hope for Matt and Sora. The Digidestined would be a team again, and we would fight an enemy again.
This time, though, the enemy was death.
OMNISCIENT
~~~~~~~~~~~
TK climbed in the sliding side door of Izzy's van. " Do any of you know where Matt is?"
One by one, they all shook their heads no.
TK sighed heavily as he buckled.
" We'll find him, TK," Yolei assured him. She smiled. " After all, we've got the best tracker anyone could get."
Izzy blushed a deep crimson.
" Who else are we picking up?" TK asked.
Mimi answered, " Davis."
" He should be at the soccer field," Cody offered, leaning forward from the back seat. " He was practicing with Tai and some other guys."
Izzy turned right to the soccer field. A soccer ball bounced off the windshield, a flash of brown hair darting after it. " I see Davis," he said.
" Yeah," Mimi agreed. Her eyes scanned the field worridly. " But I don't see Tai."
SORA'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat with my knees clutched to my chest, almost buried in the soft cushions of the sofa. My eyes were on a small TV screen in front of me, but I didn't see anything through bitter tears. I'd stopped bothering to wipe them.
My mind couldn't leave Matt. What would happen to him? His father? Young Takeru? Nancy? They were all in danger. I was in danger.
My unborn child was in danger.
I touched my stomach lightly. It hadn't yet started to buldge out yet, but the sudden waves of fatigue told me there was a child in there. Probably no bigger than my finger, but it was there.
And to think of it being in danger made me shiver.
No one, not even Richard Ishida, was going to stop me from having this baby.

Kari walked slowly into the kitchen, yawning. She grabbed another Coke, popped it open, turned around, and nearly dropped the pop when she saw Sora sitting on her sofa.
" Sora? What are you doing here?" she asked, regaining her calm.
Sora looked at her with a tear stained face. " Matt," she whispered.
" Oh, you must be here for the same reason Joe is, right?"
Sora nodded and looked away from the younger girl.
Kari sighed and sat down next to Sora. She gently laid a hand on her shoulder. " He's going to be fine, Sora."
" How can you be so sure?" Sora asked through a heavy breath.
" He's Matt, isn't he?" Kari smiled. " Richard with be gone someday, and you and Matt and your baby will be in peace."
Sora rested her head on her knees. " But when will that happen?"
" Soon," Kari told her.
Sora took in a shuddering breath, then whispered, " I don't want to lose my child, Kari. With Richard as its grandfather......." She looked up at the younger Digidestined. " Who knows what he'll do to it? To me? To Matt?"
Kari set her Coke down on the coffee table and pulled Sora into an embrace. " You'll all be fine."
" I don't want to lose my family," Sora sobbed softly. " My babies. My child and my boyfriend."
" You won't t lose them," Kari promised. Her eyes were determined, watching the door to Tai's room steadily. " We'll all make sure you keep them forever."
A/N: Short, I know. Please don't hurt me!! I've had to get back in the "mood" of this story, so this is a short part. Longer parts are coming, I PROMISE!!!!!! Please review, okay? It would help the next part come out quicker if I knew people wanted me to continue this.
