Past Visions
Chapter Ten: A Wish Come True
By: PhoniexChild
"Hey, Chi." Kari said, but without her usual greeting smile. Chi didn't look too good. She was pale and looked as if she was about to be sick. Her hair was up in its usual bun and braid, but there were many fly-aways. As if she had ran here, though she wasn't panting.
"Hey, Kari." She answered meekly.
Kari moved out of the way to let Chi in. "What's wrong?"
Chi came in, but didn't answer Kari.
"Sit down." Kari offered as she closed the door.
Chi nodded, but didn't sit. "Kari..."
"Yes?" Kari moved into the kitchen, facing Chi.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"A secret. Can I tell you that?"
Kari nodded, wondering what it could be.
"You won't tell anyone. Not even T.K. or Tai."
"Not even them, I swear."
Chi nodded, accepting her answer. Still she hesitated.
"Are you hungry?" Kari asked, after a few minutes' silence. She shook her head.
"Alright. Come and sit, Chi."
"Is anyone else home?"
"Nope."
"When will they be home?"
"Tai at eleven, Mom at nine-thirty-ish, and Dad tomorrow."
"Oh." Chi walked over to the counter. "Kari," She began, "you can't tell anyone this."
"Of course." Kari looked at Chi. Her eyes were filled with uncertainty, fear, and even some pain.
Chi sighed, tears almost spilling.
"Chi, just tell me."
Chi looked down and muttered a single word. It took practically all of her courage and strength to say this one word. All the will power she could muster to say, "Pregnant."
Kari stared in shock. 'Chi is pregnant?!' Kari wanted to ask whose baby it was, but that was a dumb question. So instead she asked, "Does he know?"
"Of course not. He's not even in town, Kari."
Then Kari remembered. "When will he be back?"
Chi whimpered softly, involuntarily. "Soon, either Monday or Tuesday. He usually doesn't stay at his grandparents' too long."
Kari nodded. "Do your parents know?"
"No, I couldn't tell them." Chi slipped into a chair, her strength leaving her.
"They have to know." Kari pointed out the obvious.
"No!" Chi whispered, "They can't know. They'll kick me out."
Kari didn't know what to respond to that. 'How do you comfort a pregnant and possibly soon-to-be homeless fifteen-year-old?'
"Chi, stay here. Wait til my mom comes home." Kari moved a chair next to Chi and sat down.
Chi looked up at her.
"My mom will help us."
Chi nodded.
"Now, go get some rest. Either the couch or in my room. The top bunk is mine."
"Thanks, Kari." Chi whispered with a smile, then disappeared into Kari's room.
Kari glanced at the clock. It was almost nine, a half an hour to go.
The clock chimed, only once to signal the half hour.
Kari got of the couch and went to check on Chi. She was still asleep on Kari's bed. Kari then went to the door, opened it, and checked to see if her mom was coming down the hall. Nope. Kari closed the door and went back to the couch and muted the TV.
Minutes later, the door suddenly opened, causing Kari to jump.
"Mom!" Kari rushed over to her mother, who was putting various store bags onto the table.
"Hello, Kari." Mrs. Kamiya looked at her daughter, "Is everything okay?"
"Mom, Chi is over. She's asleep right now." Kari said, evading the question, "We hafta talk."
Mrs. Kamiya nodded, worrying like only a mother could.
Kari ran into her room. "Chi, my mo-"
"Yeah, I heard her open the door." Chi sat up. She looked like she had been crying.
"C'mon, it'll be okay."
"I hope you're right, Kari."
Together they went over to the kitchen where Mrs. Kamiya was waiting. She had cleared off the table.
Chi and Kari sat across from Mrs. Kamiya. Chi looked down, trying to find the words. Kari, to save her friend, explained what she knew. She told her mother the entire conversation, almost word for word. Though she didn't say who. Didn't say who had gotten Chi pregnant, though Kari figured her mother already had figured that out.
Mrs. Kamiya nodded after Kari finished. After a moment's silence and thought, she said, "Michiko, you will stay here, but we will have to tell your parents."
Chi nodded gratefully at Mrs. Kamiya.
"Okay.you can have Tai's bed. I'll have him sleep on the couch." Mrs. Kamiya smiled. "It'll be okay."
"Thank you, Mrs. Kamiya."
"Call me Sachiko."
Chi nodded and smiled.
Sachiko took the store bags from the kitchen floor as Kari and Chi went into Kari's room.
"Now what?" Chi whispered.
"Now what?" Kari repeated, "Chi, don't worry."
Chi heaved a sigh.
"Look it's alright. It's only Sunday night. Tomorrow Davis'll be at school." Kari said.
"Or Tuesday."
Kari sighed softly, "Well.are you going to go to bed now or later?"
"Now." Chi yawned, "Kari thanks again. I really didn't know who to go to."
Buh-uuuuuum!
Kari rushed into her Biology class, right as the bell rang.
"Kamiya, you're-"
"On time! The bang just rang." Kari rushed out.
"I know, I heard it." Mr. Frost said monotone.
"Mr. Frost," Chi quipped, "Kari had to run to the guidance office."
Frost turned to Kari, "Pass."
"You know Ms. Taguichi." Kari shrugged.
Frost smiled slightly and signaled for Kari to go sit down.
Kari went to her lab table, which she shared with T.K.. Davis sat behind her and Chi was on her other side, across the aisle.
After Frost explained the assignment of the day and how to properly dissect the frog, the class truly began.
T.K. went over to get a frog and Kari quickly went over to Chi's table.
"Hey." Kari looked Chi over. She looked a lot better than she had last night.
"Can you give this to Davis?" Chi handed Kari a note.
"I don't think it's safe to-"
"I wrote it in French."
Kari nodded. Chi had taught Davis French, which he had picked up very quickly. "Good thinking."
"Just don't tell T.K.." Chi whispered.
"I won't. I already promised.
"I know, but I don't want either T.K. or Matt to kill him."
Kari nodded. Though Chi was ,in all realities, T.K. and Matt's aunt, they were protective over her like she was their little sister.
"Thanks so much, Kari."
Kari smiled, "No problem." She went back to her table.
T.K. began to dissect the dead frog.
"This is sick." Kari sighed.
"Well, at least it's dead already." T.K. pointed out.
"Still. What if it was vice versa?"
"Like the Simpson's episode when dolphins took over the world?"
Kari laughed, "Yeah, just picture a dolphin cutting you open, T.K.. Just for the sake of science."
"Hey guys, can I borrow your knife?" Davis asked.
"Why?" Kari questioned.
"Mine's dull. It dun work."
"Sure, just lemme finish." T.K. answered, finishing cutting the frog's stomach.
"Picture the dolphin, T.K.." Kari teased.
"Ha-ha." T.K. mocked as he cleaned off the knife. When he wasn't looking Kari handed Davis the note and mouthed out, "From Chi."
"Here." T.K. handed Davis the knife.
"Thanks." Davis went back to his table.
Suddenly Chi raised her hand.
"Yes, Ms. Takaishi?" Frost answered.
"May I go to the lav?"
"Yes, I'll write you a pass."
Chi went up, got her pass, and left the room.
Davis glanced at Kari a moment later. She saw the letter was open. He had read it. Kari nodded slightly.
A few minutes later, Davis went up to Frost, asking for a lavatory pass. Frost let him leave. That surprised Kari, usually Frost doesn't let people out at the same time. Then he was new, this was his first year and it was almost over.
"Hmm." T.K. said.
"What?"
"Both Chi and Davis are out."
"Yeah, so? We do that all the time."
T.K. grinned, "Yeah." He looked down, back at the frog. "Could ya hand me the tweezers?"
"Sure." Kari gingerly picked up the tweezers and handed them to T.K..
"What do we hafta look for?"
"Um," Kari looked at her lab paper, "The heart and other organs."
"Okay, well, here's the heart." T.K. placed the heart onto the lab cloth.
"Ew." Kari made a face, "Why do we hafta do this?"
"Just be glad Frost isn't making everyone have to cut."
"True." Kari glanced at the door. No sign of them yet.
"Kari, could you answer the questions?" T.K. asked, looking up from his captive.
"Okay." Kari grabbed her pen.
"Ken and Tsukki." Frost said, a few tables away from Kari and T.K..
"Yes?" Ken answered, placing his knife down.
"Could the two of you please go and get Ms. Takaishi and Mr. Motomiya."
The two left in search of Chi and Davis.
Shortly later, Ken and Davis returned with Chi and Tsukki following them a few step behind.
"Everyone, clean up. The bell will ring soon." Frost announced.
Kari cleaned the utensils as T.K. disposed of the frog. She glanced at Davis, he was busying cleaning a knife. Chi on the other hand was busy working, only a bit excited. She disposed of the frog quickly.
Evidently, Davis didn't abandon her. Kari was glad.
"So, he took it well?" Kari asked as she and Chi walked home.
"He took it, but to say the least, he was shocked." Chi admitted.
"Who wouldn't?"
"Yeah." Chi sighed, "We're gonna tell his parents later tonight."
"And when are you going to tell your parents?" Kari questioned.
"I dun know." Chi sighed again. "I really don't want to tell them. I still can barely believe it."
Izzy Izumi tapped the keys on his laptop's keyboard gently. The internet had kept disconnecting him, which was getting to be very frustrating. Izzy wasn't sure of why, but he had the distinct feeling it had to do with the Digital World.
There was a knock at his door.
"Come in."
"Hey." Mimi walked in. She had on her favorite pastel pink sleeveless T- shirt and an ankle length skirt, which was hot pink and light blue in a swirl pattern.
"Hey. How are you?" Izzy asked, glancing from the screen for just a second to take in the sight of her.
"I'm good. I have news." Mimi sat down on Izzy's bed, watching him from behind.
"Really?" Izzy turned around to face her. "What?"
"Chi's pregnant."
"What?!" Izzy nearly fell out of his chair. "By Davis?"
Mimi looked up, "Who else?"
"Yeah, that was a stupid question." Izzy sighed slightly, "When?"
"Not too long ago." Mimi moved some hair out of her face. "She told Kari on Sunday, and Davis found out yesterday."
"Who else knows?"
"Mrs. Kamiya and Davis' parents."
"That's it? Chi's parents don't know?"
"Well, Tai knows, too, and us."
"What about T.K. and Matt."
"Chi doesn't want them to know just yet."
"Understandable." Izzy turned around to face his laptop again. "So why are you telling me?"
Mimi stood up and walked over to Izzy's desk. She leaned against it. "Kari asked me to."
He looked up, surprised, "Why?"
"Well, you're the resident genius."
"Thanks," Izzy blushed slightly. "Well, this is big."
"I'd say." Mimi looked at the screen. "What are you researching?"
Izzy sighed, almost silently. "Chi's pregnancy isn't the first big thing to happen."
"What?" Mimi was genuinely confused.
Izzy turned the laptop to face her.
"Oh, boy."
Sora Takenouchi yawned, tossing her pencil down on the floor.
"Ya know, Sora, if you're tired you can go home." T.K. said.
"I'm not tired." Sora lied. "And besides I promised your brothers-" She nodded at T.K. and Kari, "-to help you."
"Well, they dun hafta know." Kari said, putting her book away before Sora could answer.
Sora mocked a sigh, "If you insist."
"I'll get us some food." T.K. got up and went to the kitchen.
The three of them were at T.K.'s apartment, studying for Kari and T.K.'s Math Final, which was coming up soon.
Sora glanced at T.K., then at Kari. "So how's it going between you two?"
Kari smiled, "Great."
Sora grinned back, "Good."
There was a knock at the door.
"Kari could you get that?" T.K. asked from the kitchen.
"Sure." Kari quickly got up and went to the door. Opening it she saw the flash of pink hair, knowing it was Mimi.
"Sora!" Mimi said, happily.
"Hey, why are you here?" Sora asked, walking over to her friend.
"Hey, Kari, T.K.." Mimi said, quickly, then turned to Sora. "We need to talk, now."
"Okay." Sora nodded, "C'mon this way." Sora led Mimi to the living room, where T.K. and Kari couldn't hear them.
T.K. looked at Kari, "What's goin' on?"
"I have no idea." Kari admitted. She didn't like this not-knowing feeling. Especially when she could feel it was important.
Mimi and Sora came out. Sora looked shocked, to say the least.
"Well?" T.K. asked, before he could stop himself.
"I have to go, okay? I'm sorry." Sora said, sincerely, "I'll call or something."
"Alright." Kari agreed.
Sora and Mimi left the apartment, going down to the parking lot, where Mimi's custom-painted hot pink '01 Mercedez was parked. The two teens quickly got into the car and Mimi sped out of there, not exceeding the speed limit of course.
Within no time at all they were at Izzy's apartment complex. And soon at Izzy's apartment. When they knocked, Matt answered the door, since Mr. And Mrs. Izumi were out.
"Hey. Everybody here?" Sora asked.
"Yeah." Matt nodded and the three of them went to Izzy's room, where Izzy and Tai were. Joe was talking to Izzy via MSN messenger.
"Have you found anything else, Izzy?" Sora asked.
Izzy didn't answer for he was typing to Joe, explaining everything.
"Okay, this what I know." Izzy straighten up, looking at everyone. "Chi is- "
"Not a good time, Izzy!" Tai said, loudly.
"What?" Izzy asked in surprise just as Matt demanded, "What?!"
"Oh, man." Mimi groaned.
"What is going on here?" Sora asked in a demanding tone.
"We shouldn't do this right now." Tai said, " We should include the others."
"A little too late, right now, Tai. Now what's wrong with Chi?" Matt practically yelled.
"Go ask, Chi. She's gonna tell you and T.K. tonight anyway." Tai snapped.
"Fine!" Matt left the room, quickly.
"Okay, we really need to work on our meetings." Izzy sighed, and turned to type to Joe what just happened.
It was Wednesday night. The DigiDestined were in the park. Well, not the Past DigiDestined.
"Okay, why are we here again?" Ken asked, pulling his coat closer. For a summer night, it sure was cold.
"I've found out some stuff." Izzy informed.
"How descriptive." Yolei commented.
"Why, thank you." Izzy said, sarcastically, then continued seriously. "Well, first there is Chi's pregnancy-" Matt and T.K. gave death glares at Davis "-and I found out that Callista and Mark, in their past lives, had a kid together."
"Really?" Cody looked slightly surprised.
"Yes, her name is Elfriede, she lives in Germany with her parental grandparents."
"Parental?" Tai asked.
"Her dad's parents."
"Oh."
"And, I haven't been able to find out if she could be a DigiDestined or not. Also, Callista told me of a boy who moved into her neighborhood. He was familiar to her, and I found out that he is a Past DigiDestined."
"What's his name?" Sora asked.
"Lukas Smythe."
"He's American?" Kari asked, moving closer to T.K. for warmth.
"African American." Izzy looked down at his laptop, then quickly typed something.
"So, Chi's pregnant, you found Callista and Mark's kid, and found another Past DigiDestined." Tai recounted, "Is that all?"
"No." Izzy sighed. "Well, the last thing I'm not quite sure about."
"What?" Mimi asked, shifting her weight to her other hip.
"All day I've been on the 'net and all day the 'net has been disconnecting me."
"Meaning?" Matt asked through a stifled yawn.
"I think something's wrong with the Digital World."
Everyone grew quiet, no-one moved.
"Are you sure?" Tai half whispered in a semi-demanding tone.
Izzy hesitated a second, "Not yet. I'm still checking it all out, but I thought I should mention it to everyone."
Tai nodded, "Okay. Is that all?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, meeting's over. Izzy call me when you find out for sure." Tai stood up, stretching.
Kari sighed inwardly, 'Guess I got my wish.'
Everyone exchanged 'good-bye's and 'see ya's, then left. Soon the park was quiet once more.

"Hey, Chi." Kari said, but without her usual greeting smile. Chi didn't look too good. She was pale and looked as if she was about to be sick. Her hair was up in its usual bun and braid, but there were many fly-aways. As if she had ran here, though she wasn't panting.

"Can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"A secret. Can I tell you that?"
Kari nodded, wondering what it could be.
"You won't tell anyone. Not even T.K. or Tai."
"Not even them, I swear."
Chi nodded, accepting her answer. Still she hesitated.
"Are you hungry?" Kari asked, after a few minutes' silence. She shook her head.
"Alright. Come and sit, Chi."
"Is anyone else home?"
"Nope."
"When will they be home?"
"Tai at eleven, Mom at nine-thirty-ish, and Dad tomorrow."
"Oh." Chi walked over to the counter. "Kari," She began, "you can't tell anyone this."
"Of course." Kari looked at Chi. Her eyes were filled with uncertainty, fear, and even some pain.

Mrs. Kamiya nodded, worrying like only a mother could.
Kari ran into her room. "Chi, my mo-"
"Yeah, I heard her open the door." Chi sat up. She looked like she had been crying.

"I hope you're right, Kari."

Chi nodded gratefully at Mrs. Kamiya.
"Okay.you can have Tai's bed. I'll have him sleep on the couch." Mrs. Kamiya smiled. "It'll be okay."
"Thank you, Mrs. Kamiya."
"Call me Sachiko."
Chi nodded and smiled.
Sachiko took the store bags from the kitchen floor as Kari and Chi went into Kari's room.
"Now what?" Chi whispered.
"Now what?" Kari repeated, "Chi, don't worry."
Chi heaved a sigh.
"Look it's alright. It's only Sunday night. Tomorrow Davis'll be at school." Kari said.
"Or Tuesday."
Kari sighed softly, "Well.are you going to go to bed now or later?"
"Now." Chi yawned, "Kari thanks again. I really didn't know who to go to."
Buh-uuuuuum!
Kari rushed into her Biology class, right as the bell rang.
"Kamiya, you're-"
"On time! The bang just rang." Kari rushed out.
"I know, I heard it." Mr. Frost said monotone.
"Mr. Frost," Chi quipped, "Kari had to run to the guidance office."
Frost turned to Kari, "Pass."
"You know Ms. Taguichi." Kari shrugged.
Frost smiled slightly and signaled for Kari to go sit down.
Kari went to her lab table, which she shared with T.K.. Davis sat behind her and Chi was on her other side, across the aisle.

"What?" Mimi was genuinely confused.
Izzy turned the laptop to face her.
"Oh, boy."
Sora Takenouchi yawned, tossing her pencil down on the floor.
"Ya know, Sora, if you're tired you can go home." T.K. said.
"I'm not tired." Sora lied. "And besides I promised your brothers-" She nodded at T.K. and Kari, "-to help you."

Sora and Mimi left the apartment, going down to the parking lot, where Mimi's custom-painted hot pink '01 Mercedez was parked. The two teens quickly got into the car and Mimi sped out of there, not exceeding the speed limit of course.
Within no time at all they were at Izzy's apartment complex. And soon at Izzy's apartment. When they knocked, Matt answered the door, since Mr. And Mrs. Izumi were out.
"Hey. Everybody here?" Sora asked.
"Yeah." Matt nodded and the three of them went to Izzy's room, where Izzy and Tai were. Joe was talking to Izzy via MSN messenger.
"Have you found anything else, Izzy?" Sora asked.
Izzy didn't answer for he was typing to Joe, explaining everything.
"Okay, this what I know." Izzy straighten up, looking at everyone. "Chi is- "
"Not a good time, Izzy!" Tai said, loudly.
"What?" Izzy asked in surprise just as Matt demanded, "What?!"
"Oh, man." Mimi groaned.
"What is going on here?" Sora asked in a demanding tone.
"We shouldn't do this right now." Tai said, " We should include the others."
"A little too late, right now, Tai. Now what's wrong with Chi?" Matt practically yelled.
"Go ask, Chi. She's gonna tell you and T.K. tonight anyway." Tai snapped.
"Fine!" Matt left the room, quickly.
"Okay, we really need to work on our meetings." Izzy sighed, and turned to type to Joe what just happened.
It was Wednesday night. The DigiDestined were in the park. Well, not the Past DigiDestined.
"Okay, why are we here again?" Ken asked, pulling his coat closer. For a summer night, it sure was cold.
"I've found out some stuff." Izzy informed.
"How descriptive." Yolei commented.
"Why, thank you." Izzy said, sarcastically, then continued seriously. "Well, first there is Chi's pregnancy-" Matt and T.K. gave death glares at Davis "-and I found out that Callista and Mark, in their past lives, had a kid together."
"Really?" Cody looked slightly surprised.
"Yes, her name is Elfriede, she lives in Germany with her parental grandparents."
"Parental?" Tai asked.
"Her dad's parents."
"Oh."
"And, I haven't been able to find out if she could be a DigiDestined or not. Also, Callista told me of a boy who moved into her neighborhood. He was familiar to her, and I found out that he is a Past DigiDestined."
"What's his name?" Sora asked.
"Lukas Smythe."
"He's American?" Kari asked, moving closer to T.K. for warmth.
"African American." Izzy looked down at his laptop, then quickly typed something.
"So, Chi's pregnant, you found Callista and Mark's kid, and found another Past DigiDestined." Tai recounted, "Is that all?"
"No." Izzy sighed. "Well, the last thing I'm not quite sure about."
"What?" Mimi asked, shifting her weight to her other hip.
"All day I've been on the 'net and all day the 'net has been disconnecting me."
"Meaning?" Matt asked through a stifled yawn.
"I think something's wrong with the Digital World."
Everyone grew quiet, no-one moved.
"Are you sure?" Tai half whispered in a semi-demanding tone.
Izzy hesitated a second, "Not yet. I'm still checking it all out, but I thought I should mention it to everyone."
Tai nodded, "Okay. Is that all?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, meeting's over. Izzy call me when you find out for sure." Tai stood up, stretching.
Kari sighed inwardly, 'Guess I got my wish.'
Everyone exchanged 'good-bye's and 'see ya's, then left. Soon the park was quiet once more.
