LALALALALALA!!!!!!!! New chappy!!! Ok I've been penning this for a while now. So it should be ok. I like it!!! I think it's great. But then again I'm on a natural high about finally finishing a new chapter!!!! But I've very tired since tomorrow there's school and I just finished penning this literally a few minutes ago and before that I did my math homework (yes I actually did my homework!). And I've been doing stuff all day. So very tired, very worn out, but determined to get this typed and uploaded. So on with the copy & pasted disclaimer!!! I love copy & paste!!!!

Discalimer: Digimon is not mine!!! I wish it was though. I could have fun with the bois!! Go Yamachi!! Go I Have No Idea How To Spell The Word For Joe And Izzy!! (sry their Japanese names escape me right now as does the word for their pairing. Is it Jyoushirou? Or something different? I don't know *-_-*) (side note: doesn't that kinda look like a chearleader?? I mean if you fix it up and all so it looked like this: ()*-_-*(). The brackets are hair, if you don't know what I'm trying to do and think I'm going insane. Then again I kinda am insane so it doesn't matter.^^;)

Warnings: AU, Yamato angst, I don't know what else I'm going to put in. Oh Yamato doesn't have TK as a little brother. He has little nine-year-old sister named Kira (the name of my future daughter!). I'll add more as I write this. More I shall write!! Like this: Kira torture, and Mr. Ishida bastardization.

'Yamato's thoughts'

'Tai's thoughts'

'other people's thoughts'

Untitled (unless all you nice people give me idea's) by Aloh Dark

Yamato's ride home was full of shock and curiosity. Thoughts about the possibilities about why Tai kissed him and why his father acted the way he had raced each other through his mind. The kiss had broken down a barrier in Yamato. Okay so maybe it wasn't completely broken but there was a hole. A slight crack in his armor. And he knew that Tai would find this hole and worm his way through. He'd burrow straight to his heart.

Yamato stopped at a red light pondering the possibilities of how long it's going to take Tai when he noticed something in the back seat. Tai's book bag must have come open during the afternoon and his binder was laying neglected in his back seat. Arching back Yamato leaned over to pick it off the floor and set it on the passenger side seat. The light turned green and Yamato was off again. This time only thoughts of Tai danced through his mind.

Yamato's adrenaline rushed as he pulled into his driveway. A figure was on the porch. He couldn't see who it was because of the intense shadows. But as he walked towards the house the figured didn't yell at him, it ran to him. It was Kira, and she was crying.

"Kira! What is it? What's wrong?" he asked as he enfolded her into his arms. Easily he picked her up and held her. She hugged him tightly, her legs clinging to his waist and her arms crushing his shoulders and neck.

"He…. He…" She started to cry even harder, if that was possible. It sounded like her heart was breaking.

"He what?"

"He hit me. Daddy hit me!"

Yamato's eyes widened and fury flamed within. "He what?"

"Daddy hit me. Why'd he hit me? Why Big Brother? Why?"

"Shhh darlin'. Shhhhh. It's going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay. So shhh baby girl. Everything will be okay." Her only answer was her tears. Yama set her back down on her feet.

"Come on now. Dry your eyes." He said gently as he whipped away some of the tears running down her pale checks. "Listen to me Kira. I need you to do everything I say. Understand?"

She nodded yes.

"Okay good. I want you to get into my car and stay there. Anywhere you want to sit you can. As long as you don't sit in my seat. I'm going inside to get some stuff. Then we're going to leave. Okay?"

"Yea." A tiny tear choked her answer. She adored her brother and would do anything he said.

"Now get in the car." She did so as he walked to the front door. Inside he found the place in disarray. But he ignored the mess and went upstairs to Kira's room. He packed away her favorite cloths, tooth brush and hair brush. It all went with him back to his car. While he put it in the trunk Kira asked about his stuff.

"I was just about to go get them." He said as he wrapped the thermo blanket around her, put the pillow behind her head, and gave her the stuffed elephant, and her blanket.

Walking over to the tree near his bedroom window, he climbed up and in. He didn't take the care he used when selecting Kira's stuff while he packed his own. Just some cloths, another blanket, pillow, and his toothbrush. Soon he was back to the car. He would have told her he was going to be right back, if she hadn't fallen asleep.

Back into the house he went. Grabbing his fathers wallet and some money from the stash, and some food, then he left.

He drove for hours. Wandering aimlessly through the night. Once he had to pull over for some gas but otherwise he kept driving.

It was around 6:30 when Kira awoke.

"Mmmmmm… brother?"

"Yea?"

"Wha time is it?"

"About 6:30."

"Will you take me to school?"

"Yea."

"Ummm…… Got any gum??"

He laughed. "Yea a full pack. Help yourself." He pulled out a new pack of Dentin Ice and some Juicy Fruit. She took three of each.

"Are you going to school?"

"Not until after I get you there."

"Oh okay. But you'll be late."

"I know that."

"Okay."

Kira climbed into the back seat as Yamato pulled over and stopped the car. He recognized the place to be near Tai's home. He ignored the fact as he opened the trunk to get Kira's bag and heard something behind him.

"Yamato?" Dropping the bag and whirling around, his eyes wide with shock. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I…. Ah… You see…."

"Never mind. Car trouble? Why do you have a purple suitcase?"

"It's my sisters. You know Kira."

"Yea?" Came the muffled yell from the car. Not waiting for an answer she got out of the car.

"Yamato, what are you doing away from home and with your sister in her pj's?"

"Nothing Tai. So but out!" The ice had returned to his voice.

"Yamato tell me."

"It's nothing. So but the fuck out!"

"Ummm 9 year old here. No cursing."

"Sorry Kira."

"It's okay but umm maybe we should just talk like rational adults."

"Who'd you memorize that from?"

"T.V"

"You're something else."

"Back to the matter at hand. What's going on?"

"Well… You're Tai right?"

"Yea."

"Well Tai. Yama and I have run away. Or drove away. For tonight at least. Or ah last night."

"Okay. But why?"

Kira opened her mouth to say something but Yamato didn't let her answer.

"Our business. Not yours."

Kira got the feeling that Yamato didn't want her to say anything about last night. She didn't know why Yamato didn't want her to talk, but she kept her mouth shut anyway.

Tai sighed. He knew that Yamato wasn't telling him something but he decided not to push the matter. "You know you can come to my house to change. I know for a fact that my parents wouldn't mind. And Hikari would like someone closer to her age to talk to. So will you come?"

Yamato looked at his sister, then back to Tai. "Yea. We'll come. Wanna ride?"

"Sure." Kira sat in back but leaned forward to talk to the boys in the front.

"So Kira, do you know any Japanese?"

"Yea. Of course I do. I only grew up in Japan!"

"Oh sorry I forgot. It's just that your English is so perfect it's hard to remember that you aren't American."

"It's okay. Sometimes I'd like to forget that I lived Japan too."

"Why?" Tai was curious. Kira had the same look on her face that Yamato sometimes had.

"It was back in Japan where Yamato got in so much trouble. It's where we were shipped off to different boarding schools all the time. And it's where my"

"Shut up Kira! It doesn't do well to dwell on the past."

"Oh right. I'm sorry big brother."

"You are never to speak of it and you know that."

"I know. I'm sorry."

Yamato sighed deeply and the harsh look left his face. "No that's okay. I'm sorry for yelling at you."

Tai didn't know what to make of the conversation. He knew Yamato had a deep secret that bothered him a lot but he hadn't known that it affected Kira as well.

They finished the short ride in silence, each person left in their own thoughts. The only sound was Kira's Avril Lavigne cd.

"Wow. It's huge!" Kira whispered in awe. Tai house was indeed huge. Being three stories tall and that didn't include the basement or the attic.

"It has to be. I have a big family."

"Really?"

"Yea. You wouldn't believe how many of us there are."

"Really?" Tai laughed at the repitition.

"Yea." The three of them started up the sidewalk with Tai and Yamato carrying the luggage.

Inside Tai whispered to his companions. "The girls stay on the floor above and the boys are above them. The rents are on this floor." They then started up the stairs. But only got half way up before a voice rang out.

"Taichi! Where on Earth have you been? And who is with you?"

"Hi mom! Lovely morning isn't it?"

"Don't you give me that! Now answer my questions!" A slightly plump woman about 5'2 hissed.

"I was walking."

"And?"

"This is my friend Yamato Ishida and his little sister Kira. Although they didn't tell me, I do believe they had a problem at home and were out driving all night. So when I met up with them a few minutes ago I told them they could come here."

"Oh." She then lost her aggression and smiled sweetly. "Now come on dears/ You must be starving. I'll have something made in a jiffy. Just follow me. Tai take Yamato's stuff to your room and Kira's to the guest room on the girls floor."

"Yes Ma'am."

She rolled her eyes at Tai's grin and turned to her guest. "Come along dears. I'll have your bellies full in no time." She waited for them to get ahead of her before putting her hands on their backs. But her thoughtful action only cause Kira to scream out in pain.

"Kira!" Yamato had Kira in his arms before she even fainted from the pain.

"Oh dear lord! What's wrong?"

The girls heard the scream and rushed out of their rooms to see what had emitted the scream and why. The racket they made woke up the boys who got to yell at the girls.

Soon the whole house was in the living room watching an unknown boy looking at a younger girls back. The sight of her back was sickening. The pale flesh was marred by ugly green, purple, black and blue bruises.

"Oh my God." The mother of the house whispered when she saw the results of the brutality the girl suffered.

Everyone in the room saw the strange boys eyes harden as he swore. "I'm gonna kill him. I swear I'm that bastard." Yamato whispered in Japanese. "That bastard's gone to far this time."

"Yamato," Ta asked "What happened to her?"

"That bastard who calls himself a father did this to her. Some father he is. He was never there for her. But he'd never done anything like this before."

"Your dad did this?"

"Yea and now he's going to pay." Yamato stormed out and drove away.

Thinking fast Tai's mom called the police. Both to report child abuse and to tell them that Yamato was on his way to kill his father. She had seen the look in Yamato's eyes. She had no doubt in her mind that if the police weren't there when Yamato got there, he'd kill his father.

TTFN: Ta Ta For Now

After all we have to deal with child abuse… Yamato and Tai developing a relationship… Yamato getting out of jail….
