A/N - Yamori. Um, I don't really know what to say about it, except that it's getting pretty good. Shout outs to Dreamer4, Cell, and Izzychick. You guys still rock! All of you need to write more stories. Blibble. R&R please.

SEGREGATION

By: Softball Chicks

Chapter 2

Matt and Cody sat at the police station, exchanging nervous looks. "Don't we get a phone call?" Cody demanded.

The officer glared at them. "Make one," he ordered through clenched teeth.

The boys glanced at each other before silently agreeing. "TK?" Matt asked through the receiver. "Come down to the police station now. We're under arrest." A pause. "You know why." Then he hung up. "My brother will be here soon."

Cody nodded and picked up the phone. Thinking carefully, he dialed Tai Kamiya's phone number. "Tai? Come down to the station. Bring your dad and whatever little army you can cook up. Matt and I need help." He listened for a second before breaking into a smile and declaring, "You're the best, man. See you in a few," and cradling the receiver.

Matt glanced at the younger boy with a look of admiration. "Well?"

"Tai and the others have been working for an hour getting people to help the cause. It's working, Matt. They're getting help."

Cody's eyes shone with unshed tears. Matt couldn't resist putting an arm around the younger boy and pulling him closer. "Are we still acting?" the brunette wondered, looking up at his friend.

"I don't know," the latter replied. "I don't really care. I like it."

Cody blushed. "Matt, I've got to tell this to you now. I. I like you. No, I love you. And this time that we've been pretending to be boyfriends has been so great. I just. needed to get that off my chest."

He chanced a look at the blond, who was smiling. "When I pushed Sora away last year, I thought I was crazy. I mean, she pretty, smart, and everything a guy would like. But I was waiting for someone. And I figured out who that someone is."

He looked down at the tiny boy in his arms, anticipating rejection. Leaning down, he kissed him again, causing Cody to shiver. "Cody Hida, will you go out with me?" Matt asked.

Emerald eyes shining again, the younger boy nodded. "Of course."

"Matt! Cody!" It was Tai, TK, Kari, Izzy, Mimi, and Sora, with reinforcements.

TK ran up to his brother, breathless and red-faced from running. "Matt, Mom and Dad sent their attorney," the younger blond panted, cerulean (A/N - my favorite word) eyes wide.

Sora smiled at her boyfriend and whispered something in his ear. TK's eyes widened even more. His mouth was a perfect "O". Sora leaned over to Matt and whispered, "So, you really like Cody?"

Matt blushed, realizing how much his ex-girlfriend really knew about him.

Suddenly Tai's dad walked up to the police officer, with an attorney. "We're suing you for segregation," he declared.

The officer's jaw dropped. "See you in court," he retorted.

He turned to Matt and Cody, who tensed. But Cody wasn't going to let him speak first. "If you arrest us, you'll be arresting everything this town stands for," he threatened, not knowing where the words were coming from, but enjoying saying them. "We are the backbone of this town, with determination and pride. So, go on, arrest us. But all these people here," he indicated his friends and followers, "won't let you hear the end of it."

The officer stared at this tiny boy, who was glaring so defiantly up at him. (A/N - think the Blackwargreymon episode.) "Fine, go," he finally stated, shaken by the boy's courage. "But if I catch you in another place where you aren't supposed to be, there'll be trouble."

"You can't catch anyway," Cody quipped, grinning loosely at his friends, who exchanged a few chuckles.

"Come on," Matt announced, pulling his brother out of the station. Cody walked behind them, followed by the rest, who were staring at him in admiration.

Once safely outside, Matt let out a whoop, hugging his boyfriend. "That was great!" he exclaimed. "I'd pay money to see the look on that guy's face again."

"That was brilliant!" Kari chimed in, patting Cody on the back.

"Priceless!" Mimi piped up.

"Sweet!" Tai agreed.

"Prodigious!" Izzy added.

TK just smiled at his friend and DNA-digivolving partner. Sora patted the young boy's shoulder, and he smiled up at her. But all knew that the worst was yet to come.

A/N - I hope that's a cliffhanger. Please review so I can post a third chapter.
