The Call of Destiny

"Well, where do we go from here?" Tai asked as he leaned his bicycle against a tree.
Izzy carefully brushed off his laptop and opened it, slowly typing in carefully selected commands.
Joe climbed off of his cycle and offered a hand up to Mimi to help her down. Mimi softly rested her hand in Joe's, causing him to blush and reveal his true shyness, and gracefully slid down from the mass of blue painted metal. She lifted off the helmet, setting it on the motor scooter's seat. Her hands immediately flew to her hair, fluffing a few crimped strands as she made sure they were still pulled back in her pink scrunchi. Mimi closed her eyes and reopened them slowly, inadvertently flaunting her long eyelashes, Joe blushing and smiling dumbly the whole time. She smiled at the others in her graceful way, helping brighten the other's hopes with her innocently expectant look.
"Well, Izzy?"
The computer lover clicked a few keys and waited patiently. His onyx eyes observed the screen and he lifted a hand to point behind the rest of the Digidestined. They collectively turned to see a soft glow radiating from the nearby trees and bushes.
Tai took in a breath and held it, mesmerized by the sight, the glow of the gate softly falling on his face. Gathering his courage, Tai stepped forward and through the bushes, soon followed by the others. They all froze when they saw the huge wall of swirling color, casting it's warm glow on the faces of all the Chosen Children. Tai stepped up to it, his eyes filed with wonder. He cautiously lifted a finger and touched the surface, watching as the swirling colors formed rings around his finger, leaving ripples as he ran his finger down it's liquid-like surface. He withdrew his hand and glanced behind him. The other Digidestined had assembled themselves behind him. They cast random looks, some nods, some smiles, some simply small head gestures, all encouraging him to go on. He could tell from the look in their eyes that they believed in him. They were ready to follow him anywhere, no matter what he did. Tai looked over each of them. Mimi with her gentle brown eyes. Joe's deep eyes, thinking, shaded by his glasses, Sora's red eyes bright with expectation, Izzy with his dark onyx eyes observing all, and finally Matt. Matt with his infinitely deep violet eyes, pleading, begging, waiting. All of them urging him to continue. Tai's own eyes began to fill with determination. He felt the power of the team, and it told him to go on. Tai turned back to the gate, pressing his hand against it, watching as it sank into it's liquidy depths. He prepared to plunge into the swirling vertical pool but stopped when he saw something.
A tiny hand.
Tai stopped as his jaw slowly fell open. He watched the small hand slowly emerge from the liquid wall next to him, his eyes beginning to water as a second hand began to show itself beside the first. He knew those hands…. Those tiny slender fingers, that soft, pale skin… Tai barely noticed as a second pair of hands began to emerge from the gate. Tai pulled his hand from the gate and stared at the emerging figure. It all went too slowly for him. Tears began to run down Tai's face when he saw the next thing to emerge from the swirling color wall. A face. A face he'' cried for every night for the past week. The tiny delicate face of his cherished sister. Tai refused to wait any longer and grasped the tiny hands in his own, pulling the small girl out of the mystic quicksand that separated them and into his arms, tears now soaking his cheeks.
"Kari!"
"TK!"
Matt held his brother to his chest, weeping more than he'd ever wept in his life. Sweet tears of joy dominated his cheeks as he embraced his beloved sibling, never wanting to let go.
Mimi smiled at the sight of the reunion and began to step forward to join. She was stopped by Sora's hand on her shoulder. The redhead slowly shook her head and smiled at the brunette.
"Let them have their time."
TK hugged Matt back, not quite sure of the problem," What's wrong Matt? Why are you crying?"
Kari wrapped her arms around Tai's neck, reassuring her brother that she was really there. She knew how he must've felt. Back when he had to leave her to go to the Digital World, she had missed him terribly. She knew he must have felt the same way. She smiled, tears slowly forming inher own eyes. She hugged him tighter and whispered in his ear.
"I love you Tai. I won't leave you again."
