A Year to Remember
By: Fordina

Chapter 1
And so it Begins

Sakura, Syaoran, Madison, Meilin, and Eriol (A/N: who are all 16 right now just to let you know) decided to sign up for a student exchange program that would take them to Odaiba, Japan for a year or so.
"Odaiba. I have heard some cool stuff about that place," Meilin screamed excitedly.
"Yeah I have to about monsters attacking it," Sakura shivered just think about it. Luckily she had Syaoran there to make her feel better.
Sakura and Syaoran had been going out for about a year or so now. Sakura was just glad that they were able to get their feelings out in the open before she exploded. Syaoran thought the same thing.
"Hey yeah and maybe I can get some great pictures of you guys fighting those monsters," Madison giggled excitedly.
"I don't know you guys, being away from my family for an entire year, I don't think that I could do it," Sakura told them.
"Don't worry Sakura, we'll be there by your side the entire time," Syaoran said to her trying his best to calm her down.
"Well not the entire time because we are not all going to be in the same house but the rest of the time" Madison said.
"Huh you mean that we're not going to be in the same house?" Eriol asked.
"No every body is going to somebody else house that has decided to take us in," Madison told him.
"Ahh well do we know where we're staying then?" He asked
"No but we will find out soon," Sakura told them.
"Alright," Eriol stated.

~*~IN ODAIBA~*~

"Hey T.A. wait up," Shouted Davis.
"That's T.K. Davis," He corrected him.
"Whatever, what are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm going over to Kari's to discuss something," T.K. said not looking at Davis to see his face.
"OH REALLY YOU ARE WELL," Davis said trying to calm his voice, "Can I come?"
"Um...I don't think so. Why don't you go and find Cody or someone to hang around with. Kari asked to see me ALONE. I know you don't the meaning of that word but please stay here," Asked T.K. Waking the sleeping Patamon on his hat.
Davis had left Demiveemon at home to sleep since it was kind of late.
T.K. left Davis behind looking kind of dumbstruck but he didn't care. He just knew that he had to get to Kari's. She sounded a little worried on the phone.
On his way there he thought that he saw something in the corner of his eye this made Patamon wake up again because he moved his head so quickly.
Patamon asked him, "What's going on TK? I thought you were going to Kari's for a late dinner?"
"Oh.. I am I just thought I saw something but I guess it was just my imagination getting the best of me," He said not really believing it but it seemed to work at the time.

~*~IN READINGTON~*~

"Sakura can you come down here for a minute I need to talk to you?!" Sakura's father yelled.
"Coming dad!" She yelled back, "What is it??"
"I've decided to let you go on this student exchange program. But I want to know that I will be getting phone calls every now and then," He told daughter.
"Oh thank you dad," She told her father giving him a hug.
"No problem Sakura," He said giving her a smile. She ran back upstairs to tell her friends the good news.
"You guys are not going to believe this!" Sakura yelled getting up to her room.
"Well neither are you Sakura. When you were down there talking to your dad my mom called and told me that I could go on the trip!" Madison yelled at Sakura.
"Oh my gosh Madison that's great! And do you know what my dad just told me?" She asked her friends.
"No what Sakura."
"Well dad is also letting me go on the trip!" Sakura yelled
"This is going to be great! Well as long as no monsters attack!" Meilin squealed.
Everyone sweatdrops.
Then they got back planing their year.

~*~IN ODIABA~*~

Kari was sitting in the living room waiting for TK when there was a knock on the apartment door. She got up to answer it hoping that it was TK. To her luck it wasn't it was Tai her older brother he forgot his key and so got locked out.
"What are you doing back so early?" Kari asked her brother.
"Practice was cut short and I forgot my key. Why are you expecting somebody?" He asked his embarrassed little sister.
"Um.. well.. Yes, I invited TK over for dinner since I wasn't in the mood for eating alone." She told her brother Tai.
"AHH. But where's mom?" He asked her
"She went out with dad for a late dinner just the two of them," She told her older brother Tai.
"Oh okay so can I join you two?" he asked
"Well I didn't make enough for more then two people so maybe you should go see what Izzy is doing or something." "But please don't go to Sora's I am not supposed to tell Tai that she's with Matt. For all she knows he'd go and kill Matt for spending time alone with her. And I don't think that would help my relationship with TK one bit. Wait did I just say relationship with TK? Well a girl can dream can't she? And maybe after tonight who knows," Kari thought to herself.
"Okay well I'll call you love birds before I come home so I don't disturb you," He said as Kari kicked him out the door.
As Tai was "Leaving" the house TK was coming up behind him. They said their hellos and good bye's as he walked into the open door. He said, "Kari are you in here?" He asked.
"Come on in TK just finishing dinner," She yelled which woke the sleeping cat.
"Kari keep it down will ya? How's a cat supposed to take a cat nap with all this noise going on?" She asked her partner.
"Oh Gotamon go in my bedroom and sleep," She told her friend.
"Take Patamon with you," TK told her.
"But TK" The little digimon asked.
"Just go you're just as tired as Gotamon is so go sleep," He told his digimon friend.
Gotamon and Patamon ran or flew over to Kari's room to sleep. It didn't take long to hear *snores* and *purrs* from the back room.
"So what did you make? What ever it is smells good," He told his fellow digidestined.
"Rice balls, and Chicken, sound good to you TK?" She asked her long time friend.
"Sounds Great," he replied.
TK and Kari were already sitting down and eating when TK asked, "So you said that it was important that I come alone and right away how come? Is something wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"No TK every thing is fine it is just that I need to tell you something and it is best if I did it in private when it was just you and me," She told him.
"Well lucky I stopped Davis from coming with me then," He said laughing but he noticed that he was the only one laughing. So he asked, "Come on Kari you know that you can tell me anything. What is it?"
"Well you see it is that um.. well.."
"Well what Kari? Is there something wrong? Are you being pulled into that place again?!" He yelled waking the sleeping digimon in the other room.
"No, not that just," "Oh just say it Kari no time like the present. Just say it I'm sure he will say it back look at his face he is so worried about you, do it," "I like you TK a lot I mean a whole lot. I love you TK!" She shouted.
"Really Kari, you are not just joking around here?" He asked her.
"No TK I really do love you and this was really hard to say so what is your response?" she asked him worried about what he is going to reply.
"Wow Kari, I would of thought I would have been the first to tell you that I um... l-l-love... y-you.
"Well TK you kind of were the first but it wasn't very clear," She told him.
"Huh.....oh yeah."
They started to hear clapping coming from behind them. What do you know it was Gotamon and Patamon. I think that they've been waiting awhile for them to say that.

~*~SAKURA'S SCHOOL~*~

"Today we will be discussing what will be happing soon with the select few of children who have decided to go on the student exchange program. Your, well, lets call them "Adoptive family's" have been addressed. To see the list come up to my desk," Mr. Terada told them.
All the students who singed up ran to the desk except Syaoran and Sakura. They were having a deep conversation on they're own. You see they have the ability to talk to each other through their minds. But the other could only hear what they wanted them too hear.
Seeing this Madison went back to ask her best friend what was wrong. And if of coarse asked her if she was thinking about Syaoran.
"SAKURA!!!??" Madison yelled at her friend.
"Hoe...?" Was all that came out of her mouth.
"Come on you two lets go see where we are staying,"
"Ahh yeah coming Madison," she told her friend. "We have got to stop doing that in class," She told her little wolf.
"I guess. Let's go," He said grabbing her arm lightly.
"Kay," she told him.
"Madison, you will be staying at the Takaishi's," He told the girl with ash gray hair.
"Sakura, you will be at the Kamiya's," He told her.
"Li, you will be with Izumi's."
"Eriol you will be with the Ichijouji's."
"And you Meilin will be with the Inoue's." He finished.
There it was, where they would be staying. Every body just sat around wondering what the families would be like.

~*~ODAIBA~*~

The digidestined got up, out of bed but tried not to disturb his sleeping friend. (A/N: I didn't mean to make it rhyme) They had been up half the night trying to fix all the destruction he had caused all the years before.
"It's going to take a long time to fix all that up," Ken told himself out loud.
"Ken, what are you doing up it is too early to be getting ready for school," Wormmon told his human friend.
"I know but I have to start getting ready for the new student that will be living with us. Want to help me? It's all right though you can go back to sleep," Ken told him.
"Now why would I do that, I have all day to sleep when you are at school!"
"Alright then but be quiet I don't think my parents are up yet, Okay?" He asked.
"Okay," He replied.

The other side of town.

~*~FLASH BACK~*~

"So what did you make? What ever it is smells good," He told his fellow digidestined.
"Rice balls, and Chicken, sound good to you TK?" She asked her long time friend.
"Sounds Great," he replied.
TK and Kari were already sitting down and eating when TK asked, "So you said that it was important that I come alone and right away how come? Is something wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"No TK every thing is fine it is just that I need to tell you something and it is best if I did it in private when it was just you and me," She told him.
"Well lucky I stopped Davis from coming with me then," He said laughing but he noticed that he was the only one laughing. So he asked, "Come on Kari you know that you can tell me anything. What is it?"
"Well you see it is that um.. well.."
"Well what Kari? Is there something wrong? Are you being pulled into that place again?!" He yelled waking the sleeping digimon in the other room.
"No, not that just," "Oh just say it Kari no time like the present. Just say it I'm sure he will say it back look at his face he is so worried about you, do it," "I like you TK a lot I mean a whole lot. I love you TK!" She shouted.
"Really Kari, you are not just joking around here?" He asked her.
"No TK I really do love you and this was really hard to say so what is your response?" she asked him worried about what he is going to reply.
"Wow Kari, I would of thought I would have been the first to tell you that I um... l-l-love... y-you.
"Well TK you kind of were the first but it wasn't very clear," She told him.
"Huh.....oh yeah."
They started to hear clapping coming from behind them. What do you know it was Gotamon and Patamon. I think that they've been waiting awhile for them to say that.

~*~FLASH BACK ENDS~*~

"Huh, Wow was that a dream No, No it wasn't Kari declared her love for me and I did the same. Wow I never thought I would see the day. Wait till I tell Davis!" He told himself with a smile on his face.
"T.K. Go Back To Sleep!" Growled Patamon.
"Alright, Alright," He told him as they fell back to sleep.

Kari always woke up early. Which didn't please Gotamon that much but she has learned to live with it. And her family was always pleased when they woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. Her Bother was her biggest fan though. But not as much as Agumon did when he stayed over from the digital world.
"Kari, is that you?" A body in shadows asked the young girl in the kitchen.
"Yes, and you are?" Even though the body came from her brother's room the voice didn't sound familiar to her and neither did the figure of the body.
"Oh, so now you don't even know your own brother?" He asked.
"Hey how was I supposed to know? You where in the shadow I couldn't see a thing. And besides your voice sounded different. And since when do you not know who your sister is?" she asked him.
"Oh...um.. I don't know you sounded cheerful I wasn't sure if it was you or not," He told her.
"Well if I sound cheerful that is that's because I am!" She said simply.
"Oh, Why?" He asked
"Why?....Um....Well.. I..told TK That.." She was interrupted.
"Told him what, spit it out," He told his sister.
"I told him that I..I love him."
"YOU WHAT," He yelled. Which woke every body up.
"Keep it down will ya, mom and dad are still sleeping," She hissed quietly at her brother.
Kari was a little stunned about how her brother reacted but I guess that was to be expected but still she never saw him that shade of white before or something even close to that.
"Well what did he say back??" He asked her.
"Well he said it back. But he was a little surprised that he didn't say it first but other then that he said it back with great happiness."
"Oh man I wonder what Matt is going to think about all thins?" He asked himself.

"SHE DID WHAT AND YOU DID, wait calm down say it again," Matt asked his brother T.K.
"Well I went over to her house yesterday because she said something about not wanting to eat alone. So I went over there and she told me that she loves me. And I said the same. But I would have liked it is I were the first one to say it but hey whatever right?" TK told his brother.
All right so the two brothers weren't all that pleased about this but they both thought, "Hey if this makes them happy."
"Alright, do you need any help with setting up the guest room for that exchange student?" Matt asked.
"Um.. Sure that would be great." Little did the two guys know that they weren't getting a guy, which they originally thought since they weren't told the names of the exchange students just there last name.

"Um... Kari!" Her Brother screamed. "Can you come here for a moment?"
"Wait, I am setting up the new room. I will be there in a minute," She screamed back. "What do you want Tai?" She asked.
"Do you know when this kid is coming?" He asked.
"Yeah sometime this week," She told him.
"Ahh and how long is the kid going to be here?" He asked again.
"Um, I think like a year, or so."
"Ahh are you serious? How are we supposed to hind our digimon for that long?" He asked her.
"I don't know maybe we won't have to. Maybe we can tell them about them," She suggested to her brother.
"We could or maybe not, we should probably talk to Izzy about this. I'll call him and tell him we're coming over," He said walking to the phone.
"Wait, we can't go not just the two of us T.K., Yolie, Ken, And Izzy are all taking kids in." Kari told him.
"They are? Well then maybe we should call a digi meeting," He told her.
"A digi meeting?" She asked him confused.
"Yeah. A meeting were we are all there and discuss things that go on about the digimon." Tai told her.
"Ahh have we had one of those before?"
"Um no but no time like the present." He told her.
Kari sweatdrops.

"Hello?" Izzy asked the voice on the phone. "Oh hey Tai."
"Hey Izzy so I hear that you re taking in a kid too?" He asked his ingenious friend.
"Yeah I am, why?"
"Um because I was just thinking how are we supposed to hide our digimon from them all that time. And since you probably don't have an answer right away I thought that we should call the people who are taking a kid in to get to your place or mine and we can have a digi meeting." He told his friend.
"A digi meeting?"
"Yeah."
"Um alright tell every body to meet here in one hour."
"Alright see ya then bye Izzy," He told his friend as he hung up the phone.
"Bye," He said back.

'Hum, I never thought about that what are we going to do with our digimon? I better start thinking,' He told himself.

"Kari call your friends that are taking a kid in and tell the to go to Izzy's in one hour alright."
"OK," She told him.

~*~ READINGTON ~*~

"Sakura, Are you almost done packing?" Her father asked.
"Almost Dad, I just need to pack a few more things. Then I am ready," She told him.

"Madison please hurry you are going to be late for school," Samantha told her daughter.
"Hold on mom, they gave the students that are leaving the morning off to pack so that we were ready to leave to-morrow," She told her worried mother.
"Oh I know but still I am going to miss you," She said trying not to cry.
"Oh mom I'll miss you to. But I promise to write and call alright. But not every day I don't think they would like there phone bill that much." Madison said to her mother with a smile.
"I thought that that might happen so I got you a calling card," she said while handing it to her daughter.
"Thanks mom," And she hugged her mother.

"Syaoran, Aren't You Done Yet???" Meilin yelled.
"Hold on a second, unlike you I intend to have nicely packed clothes," He yelled back.

"Nakuru! Aren't you done yet?" Eriol asked his moon guardian.
"Hold on a second, master I am almost done," She yelled back.
"Good about time," He snap back.

"Sakura, you are taking me with you aren't you?" Kero asked.
"Well I guess I have to now, but I must warn you that there will not be as many snacks," She told her floating friend in a very serious voice.
"Yes that may be true but if I stay here I may be fed at all!" He yelled.
"Good point."

They all decided to meet at Penguin Park before they went to school. Sakura was as usual late.

"Where have you been Sakura? We've been waiting for ten minutes," Meilin screamed.
"Oh. Sorry, I was talking to Kero about how I should probably leave him here but he put up a good fight so he is coming with us," Sakura explained.
"Alright the stuffed animal can come," Meilin said.
"Well come on we better get moving," Madison called.
"Kay," They all said.

~*~AT THE SCHOOL~*~

"Okay does every body remember what there "Adoptive Families" name is?" Mr. Terada asked.
"Yes," every body screamed as the bell rang for class to end.

Every body went home except Syaoran who went home with Sakura since he was done packing, and she had invited him over for her last dinner at home.
"Syaoran?" Sakura asked as they were turning a corner.
"What, My little Cherry Blossom?" He asked the girl with emerald eyes.
"Do you ever miss your Family back in Hong Kong?" She asked him.
"Um.. Sure I guess sometimes. But not really I have you and that is all that matters to me," He told her with a smile.
"Oh," she said with a sigh.
"Why what's wrong?"
"I think that I may miss them to much to go I don't know if I can stay away from them for that long," She told him.
"Ahh I see. Well Sakura just remember that I will always be there if you need me. I still have that cell phone that you gave me and you have yours. So if you need to talk just call and I'll always be there. Alright?" He told her while giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Hmm your right I'm so glad that you'll always be there for me my Little Wolf," she told him with a hug.
"Don't ever doubt that I would leave you or not be there for you because I always will be."
"Yeah, come on we better get to my place it looks like it is going to rain," she said running.
"All right," He said back
"Hey Squirt!" Tori yelled.
"I'm not a squirt Tori," She yelled back.
"Hey what's HE doing here?!" Tori demanded.
"HE, as you so very well put it is here for dinner," Sakura yelled.
"Oh he is, is he?" questioned Tori.
"Yeah I am. But if this is going to cause a problem then I'll just leave," Syaoran said turning around, when he remembered his promise.

~*~FLASH BACK~*~

"Ahh I see. Well Sakura just remember that I'll always be there if you need me. I still have that cell phone that you gave me and you have yours. So if you need to talk just call and I'll always be there. Alright?" he told her while giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Hmm your right I am so glad that you'll always be there for me Little Wolf," she told him with a hug.
"Don't ever doubt that I would leave you or not be there for you because I always will be,"

~*~FLASH BACK ENDS~*~

Sakura looked at him as he was about to leave. But he suddenly turned around and said.
"Wait I was invited by Sakura and she has as much right to invite somebody over to dinner as you do so back off," He told Tori.
Sakura was so happy that he remembered his promise that she gave him a deep kiss. Tori just looked away in disgust.
Syaoran was just as surprised as Tori but he liked it a bit more. He just stood there at first then kissed back. That time Sakura was the one that was surprised.
"Are you two going to come in or just stand in the door way?" Tori asked sarcastically.
The both stood there and huffed at Sakura's brother in the kitchen.
"Come on lets go. I don't think we want to make him any madder and thank you for remembering your promise."
"No I guess not, and no problem," He told her.
After dinner Syaoran helped Sakura with the rest of her packing and then left for home.

~*~THE NEXT MORNING~*~

"Oh I'm going to be late, Kero wake up it is almost time to leave come on," She said as she grabbed the little lion type thing.
"Ahh, hey wait," Was all Kero could get out as she ran out the door with her luggage in hand.
HONK HONK HONK!!!!!
"COMING," She yelled.

"Master Li, Meilin hurry, you are going to be late!" Wei called out.
Syaoran and Meilin ran out of the house to the car luggage in hand. Well mostly Li's hands but you know.

Madison was already at the airport with Eriol. When they came Madison was wondering why Syaoran was so late. Well he is mister punctuality after all.
"So Li why were you so late you are always on time well almost always?" Madison asked.
"Ask her," He said pointing to Meilin.
"Well,"
"I just had to do some final packing that's all!" Meilin shouted.
"Ahh ha."
"Well what are we waiting for lets go," Sakura said excitedly.
"All right lets go," They shouted.
As they were about boarded their plane they could see their families well Sakura and Madison's anyway and Wei and Nakuru with Suppi in her pocket were there too. But I don't think that Tori liked to have her there as much as the other people did. Too Sakura's surprise Julian was there as well.
It wasn't that long of a flight but almost the entire way Sakura slept on Syaoran shoulder because she's not used to waking up that early. Yeah to their luck the Card capturing duo got to sit by each other Madison by Eriol, and Meilin was with another student his name isn't important though. Just call him Bob.
