*This begins where chapter 4 left off, but continues foreword.*

Chapter 5: Renewed Hope

Kaira grinned mischievously, "Now, now, we don't know that." The digidestined look at Kaira with awkward expressions. Tai is the first one to say anything, "Wh-what?" Kaira responds with a grin, "You heard me, Kari may still be alive." The silence in the room deepens. Kaira gains an anime sweatdrop, "..What?"

**5 years later**

*Note from Kari-mun: yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I skip a lot of time.. But hey, it's the way the story "rolls" out. LOL, back to the story.*

T.K. Takaishi, now at the age of 18, sits in the Digital world in a tree, his legs dangling off each side of the branch. Since he felt there was currently no need to look extremely descent, he had grown out his hair slightly, it now reached almost to his shoulders, but at the same time made him very, very cute (or Kawaii if you prefer). Cody sat on the ground near him, sound asleep. T.K. stares at him thinking, he didn't have to come.I know Izzy says he looks up to me like a brother.but why?. He sighs, now bored out of his mind, but something catches his eye. Off in the distance, a bring pink pillar of light shot up from what looked like a cave. or a dungeon. (hint, hint) All he knew is that immense power was emitting from the pillar. "Whoa. THAT was big." Cody sits up with a yawn, "What was big?" T.K. gains a nervous expression, "Umm. nothing Cody. just, go back to sleep." Cody smiles micheviously, which is slightly abnormal, "Why? Did you see someone you like?" T.K. rolled his eyes, trying to amuse the boy, "I don't like anyone, I just thought I saw something." "Oh." Cody said, now tired again. T.K. chuckles slightly, "besides, I'm not interested in anyone.at least not yet." Cody rolls his eyes, "then at least tell me was you saw." "Cody, it was only a big pillar of energy, no need to worry." Cody: " -_-;; T.K., that WOULD in fact be a reason to worry." T.K. suddenly turns his attention in another direction, "hmm.?" Cody looks up at him, "NOW what?" "shh... I think I heard something Cody." "T.K., of course you'd hear something, we're in the digital world!." "ehhh.... Okay, I have to agree with you on that. but I'm being serious!" "You being serious?. well, that's a change." ".ha ha. very funny, Cody." "eh-heh. I was trying to be serious, T.K. ." "Now THAT is normal for you", T.K. said with a smile. "Flattery will get you no where, T.K." T.K. gained anime 'dot-eyes' "but I was being serious!.. anyway. back to what I heard. it sounded like singing." "Singing? Out here?" T.K. draws his attention away again, "there it is again." Cody's eyes widen, "I. heard it too." A light singing could be heard in the distance, the same two short songs were being continuously repeated: "L is the love that I have lost, I is the insanity that I have gained. G is the girl that I was, H is the happiness that I lost. T is my true essence. "

"H is the happiness that once surrounded me, O is the oddity of its exit P is the pressure that is now put on my heart E is the essence beheld by the one I care for most."

And those same songs were repeated over and over again. Cody listens, almost enthralled, "it sounds. like an angel is singing." T.K. smiles "we don't exactly know what an angel sounds like, so we shouldn't judge the person or thing singing just by the voice." Cody smiles, "but I know one thing for sure, the voice is heavenly," at that, T.K. sighs, "we should wait and see who or what it is before saying hello or giving compliments first." Cody rolls his eyes with a light groan, "I know that. I'm young, not stupid."

**Want to know who this mysterious singer is? Well then, wait for the next chapter (hopefully longer) to find out who. And btw, R&R please, no flaming, I damage easily.**
