Reunion of friends2: upgrade digivices and birthday gifts (Kari and Tai's pov)
(Kari's pov):
My brother had gone into his crazy-leader-mode once more when we all suggested we should go to the TV station, mostly because he's been that way ever since he started playing soccer and was appointed the leader, Sora was second in command on his team just like Yama-san is in our digimon group. I found ironically odd that two of Taichi's closest friends were both second in command.
As we trudged through the heat I swear was rising from the ground, I looked down at my ice-cream and it was liquid! Yamato who was walking beside me noticed this, and would have offered me his ice-cream if you couldn't get sick from other's people's food. I smiled at him patting his arm; Yamato could be silly sometimes, I practically saw him move the hand that held his cup full of ice-cream toward me. He looked up and blushed probably because of Taichi's quiet snickering, I stopped for a moment waiting for my brother to pass by.
The hesitation in Niisan's eyes was completely visible as he stepped slowly pass me, I glanced at him and my foot made contact with his ankle. I could barely fight the temptation to laugh at Taichi hopping up and down in pain, holding his hurting ankle almost falling off the curb, I smiled proudly running to catch up with everyone else.
Takeru looked at me curiously as I came up beside him, he tapped me on the shoulder as he fixed his hat to look presentable possibly. "Hey Kari, how come you kicked Taichi?" He asked, cocking his head to the side. I shrugged straightening my pink shirt, it clearly obvious to Takeru that I kicked him because he was being usual-obnoxious self again, It's either me or our parents that keep him in line.
Taichi came limping up pass me with a furious look on his face, TK smiled unaware of the dangers of mocking my Niisan, not that he would hurt Takeru in any way that would cause him to loose his friendship with Yamato, Tai usually gave TK the tickle of death as he called it. "Hiya, Taichi!" Takeru chirped happily his hands still behind his head. Tai grumbled something I couldn't make out clearly and walked off to catch up with Sora and Mimi who fell behind the others.
I sighed as Takeru pulled me along. I constantly wondered what Miko was doing while we were out here, he probably wouldn't be lonely if Gatomon was around, though knowing mitten-pawed cat, she would follow me out of the door in case any danger would be afoot and looking for someone to pick on. All in all, Miko would still be lonely.
I'll have to put a kitten on my Christmas list this year. I thought. Before me or TK knew what happened, we crashed into Taichi, I stumbled backward and fell to the ground taking Takeru with me. I let out a yelp of pain when my bottom made contact with the hard ground. "Kari are you all right?" Takeru asked helping me up. I nodded rubbing my bottom, I gazed upward discovering that we were right in front of TV station that stood towering over us, with not a visible scratch on it as if nothing ever happened to it.
"Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed looking up from his laptop. "They remodeled the damaged parts of the building so perfectly! I wonder if they fixed the bridge yet?" Yamato shrugged pulling the suitcase's sliding strap back up on his shoulder. Taichi, Mimi, and Sora nodded with wide eyes. I couldn't exactly figure out what they were so amazed at the sight of the rebuilt structure that Myosistmon destroyed almost completely.
I tugged on my brother's shirt know it would get his attention, since he doesn't like it when I do that. He looked down at me with a slightly miffed look on his face. "Yeah, what?" He asked. I pointed the TV station across from us, wondering when we were going go inside.
"Oh!" Taichi remembering why we were here in the first place. "Hey everybody quit gawking! Let's go already!" Yamato's blue eyes narrowed at Tai, placing his hand on the suitcase's strap. "Yes, o'mighty master Taichi," He said dryly crossing the street, followed by Joe and Izzy. Taichi lifted me up and placed me on his shoulders staggering backwards a bit. His hands were around my wrist to keep me from falling off, and he stepped forward trailing behind Sora and Mimi.
I looked down at Takeru who's gaze shifted away from me immediately, thinking he hadn't been caught, I knew he wanted to be carried around on his brother's shoulders but he wanted to look like he was able to walk himself and act like a big boy, which was clearly understandable. As we crossed the street, TK was beginning to feel uncomfortable beside me and Taichi, so he headed up further beside his brother stepping beside Joe (who resided beside Izzy, who on the left, Yama was on the right), and grabbed his hand. Taichi made a skeptic "hmmm," noise as he stepped up onto the curb of the TV station.
"Wow, it's bigger up close!" Mimi cried in delight, grabbing a hold of Joe's hand. The doctor-in-training almost dropped his book, but regained his grip on it as the brunette haired girl dragged him toward the door. "Let's go see what it looks like now inside!" Joe fought to keep his footing as the overexcited girl dragged him inside. I arched an eyebrow watching Mimi and Joe's figures disappear through the crowd inside, as Taichi and the others charged toward the door.
Yamato and Takeru entered first, followed by Izzy and Sora, me and Taichi came in last, they older kids practically acted like it was a race or something to get to the top, catching sight of Mimi and Joe's figure climbing the flight of stairs. Hopefully Mr. Ishida wasn't around, he'd kick the eight of us without a second thought or possibly even one.
I bounced on my brother's shoulders, wondering how he was able to run up the stairs with me on them, when he stopped, Mimi, and Sora zoomed passed him, followed by Izzy. "Alright, Hikari you've gotta walk on your own, my shoulders are 'a-hurtin'," He panted. I nodded running up the sitars behind him once he caught his breath. Taichi held my hand pulling me along when I fell behind and at the last stair he fell over, thankfully he didn't take me down with him. I helped him up on his feet, once I heard Yamato's voice beckoning my brother to check something out.
Taichi quickly regained his posture and rushed in the direction of Yamato-san's voice and the voices the others gasping an awe. I followed behind picking up my brother's digivice that fell of his pants, it was beginning to glow orange, the color of his crest. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion as I entered the room he rushed into, when I felt a vibrating on my side, something was going on with our digivices! Yamato, Takeru, Sora, Mimi, Joe, and Izzy pulled theirs from their pants, discovering they were glowing the colors of their crests. "What's this?" Joe gasped at the sudden color change of his digivice. "Prodigious!" I heard Izzy cry.
"Holly!" Taichi reached for his, put discovered it wasn't where it was supposed to be, when noticed I had it in my hand as I came up beside him, all to focused on my now pink-digivice. He snatched from my hand, I glared at him, Tai stuck his tongue out at me and I threatened him with my foot. He returned his attention to his orange digivice. What happened next was unexpected; the light of our digivices shot out from the center and stopped in the exact place where Myosistmon stood when he held me and Gatomon captive, they created eight shapes above the ground all the same colors as our digivices from what I could see.
Taichi and I ran forward stopping beside everyone else, as the light dissipated retuning to our digivices just as quickly as it appeared. We all stood dumbstruck staring at our digivices as they returned to their normal ice-blue like color. "I have one question; what just happened here?" Yamato asked breaking the silence, staring at my brother. Tai shrugged shoving his digivice in his pocket and buttoning up. I did the same, only I clipped it on the side of my pants as well as the others did except Mimi, she put hers in her bra. "Hey!" Takeru cried pulling his brother along with him, where the light used to be. "Look it! Our tags and crests!" Yamato's eyes were full of surprise and happiness when he reached out to the touch the crest of friendship, when Izzy's cry of surprise startled everyone.
"Hey everyone look, it's Genni!" He cheered, as we all gathered around him. I watched the small image of the old man walking toward the center of the computer holding an envelope, stop and greet us with a wave. "Greetings, digidestend!" Genni said bowing. "I have good news." We all glanced at each other with uncertain looks
"Uhh... we go to the digiworld?" Sora asked trying to guess what he was going to say. Genni shook his head, I sighed. I wanted to see Gatomon now more than ever. "Unfortunately no, but I've sent copies of your crests to you. Your digivices have upgraded as well. You can only use them when your called upon, other than that they're just nice to look at," Genni chuckled at his remark. "Does this mean, our world is in danger?" Joe asked. "Again?"
The old man shook his head, Joe sighed of relief. "But I sense there is something amiss, which is why I gave you these copies," He finished. Taichi looked at Genni questionably, as if trying to figure out his somewhat-crypitc talk. "What's going on, Genni?" He asked, while Yamato nodded in agreement. Genni gave a long pause, leaving us hanging in suspense when he began to speak again.
"Well,.... I'm not sure it---," Izzy's laptop screen went black, and an image of an empty battery appeared in front of us. "AH-no! My battery died on me!" I sighed, my brain was now wondering what Genni was going to tell us, and we had no way of knowing. Of course our minds were immediately taken off the subject when our crests and tags hovered over to us. We grabbed them, feeling their strength flow through our bodies again, that's something I haven't felt in a long time, a year to be exact.
"Well, so much for a normal life," Yamato muttered putting the crest over his head. Taichi smiled not really caring if he had a normal life or not. "I can't wait to see, Agumon again!!" He cheered. Takeru stared at my brother oddly but nodded in agreement as well. Mimi sighed playing with her crest. "I don't care what happens I just wanna get out of this place before Matt's father finds us in his new office!"
"Yeah!" I giggled. We all headed out of the office sneaking around the corners for an elevator.

Six weeks later: Sora's birthday party (Taichi's Pov)
It had been six weeks since we got a call from Genni and copies of our crest and tags, a whole bunch has been going on since then; Yamato finally learned how to play his red-guitar to its fullest, Izzy got a flat screen computer, Sora learned how to cook without burning food, Hikari was taking up photography lessons, Mimi has become a kids-fashion model for limited too, Joe is in highschool now, Takeru is learning how to write, and me well... I'm still playing soccer. Today is Sora's birthday! I can't wait to give her this neato present!
~*~
Outside the Nagano Middle-school, the air was great, the sun was beginning to set, and the sky was a light orange/red color giving the white clouds a purple affect. On the soccer field, I happened to be practicing my moves, spinning circles around my teammates minus Sora who decided to quit the team and help her mother out at her flower shop instead, so I had this new kid Daisuke/Davis, as the replacement for Sora, he was pretty good with a soccerball and get this... I'm his idol! He's even got goggles like I do.
Anyway, I was busy kicking the ball around when I thought I noticed a certain blonde-haired boy come from behind the bleachers. I stopped for a moment, and spotted not a soul there. Then I remembered Yamato and Takeru had left already, leaving their presents to give to Sora with me and Hikari. I sighed wishing he was here at this very moment, when I was hit by the soccerball in the face, and the world around me vanished.
"Tai! Taichi, wake up! Oh, please don't be dead! Mom will kill me!" I heard a voice called to me. The feeling in my body returned, I opened my eyes, as they stopped spinning in my head as I tried to focus on the figure before me. It was my little sister! "K-Kari?" I muttered weakly. "Hai," She replied pulling me up on my feet. I felt a bit dizzy, and fell into her arms holding my aching head. "Wh-what happened?" I asked. Hikari giggled shrugging for no particular reason at all. "Davis knocked you out with the soccer ball, kicking in the wrong direction," She explained briefly.
"I'm going to kill him," I groaned, blacking out again.
"Oh, no!" I heard Hikari cry.
~*~
Hikari took me to the nurses office just as the nurse was about to leave for the day. She said I had a nasty bruise on my head, and there was nothing to worry about, blacking out was natural. I didn't seem to think so. The next day I spent the day with Kari searching for the best present for Sora's birthday, and I found it at this girly shop named "Claire's." Talk about over doing it with the fur and sparkles. I searched around the store, getting weirdo looks from people and flirting signs from other girls, which Kari says I let go to my head.
"Hey, Kari, you think Sora would like this?" I ask standing in front of a rack of colorful hair-pens shaped like stars, moons, cats, dogs, and an oval-sunflower. I picked up the oval-sunflower hair pen, since it was different from all the others. Kari came over to me, holding a diary covered with chibi figures of the five Ronin warriors setting on top of bubbles in their mini-armors holding their ... mini weapons. Kari knew Sora adored that television show, and that diary would be the perfect gift for her. She examined the hair-pen in my hand making mm-ing noises, before agreeing with me. "Yeah, I think she'll love it, Niisan!" Kari exclaimed smiling. I felt my confidence return to me anew. "Yeah, your right!" I said giving her a thumbs up. "She'll love it, I just know it!" Boy was ever I wrong.

"Happy B-day Sora!" Joe cried. Exploding confetti showered the entire livingroom, as Kari, Izzy, Mimi, Mrs. Takenouchi, Joe, and myself jumped from behind the table, surprising the life out of Sora. The chestnut-haired girl dropped her backpack totally not expecting we'd surprise her like that, or she was wondering where Matt and TK were, one of the two. Kari and Mimi ushered into the birthday-girl's seat placing at pointy hat on her head.
Sora blushed furiously as we sang the happy-birthday song to her, once we were done she stared at the blue and yellow frosted-covered cake that had the faces of Yama and Takeru on it, with words at the below their faces saying "Happy-birthday Sora, we wish we were here!" Sora giggled and blew the out the candles. We cheered, as Mrs. Takenouchi cut the cake.
While she was doing this, we gave her our presents along with Matt and TK's. She opened them neatly one by one, as we went along and ate our cake.
From Mimi to Sora: A striped-snow hat with a little puffball at the top. She liked that one.
From Joe to Sora: A book on the human body. "Eh? What was Joe thinking?" I thought.
From: Izzy to Sora: A telescope and a book on constellations.
From Kari to Sora: The Ronin Warrior covered Diary. Sora jumped for joy over that one, and gave my sister a bear-hug.
From Matt to Sora: Gundam wing collector's figurine of wing-zero.
From TK to Sora: A book on how to manage flowers and vegetable gardens.
From me to Sora: Claire's colorful oval-sunflower hair-pen.
We all stared at Sora's reaction at my gift, when she looked up at me with narrowed eyes. I was surprised to say the least that she didn't like my present, as was Kari who told me she would like my present. "A hair pen?" She said sounding hurt. I nodded, confused by her tone of voice. "Well, yeah I thought you might like it," I said hoping her attitude would change. Sora was squeezing my present now, but didn't intend on breaking it. Kair, Izzy, Joe, Mimi and Mrs. Takenouchi look beyond confused as if saying 'What's wrong with the hair-pen?'
"Oh, so you don't like my hair?!" Sora yelled, slamming her fist onto the table, startling all of us. I was now becoming angry, and wanted to slap her for being rude and unthankful. "Well, who could tell your always wearing a hat!" I shot back. Silence filled the room, and Sora's face was becoming red at the mention of her hat and wearing it a lot. "Oh, so you don't like hat either????!!" She screamed rising from her chair, I rose from mine brokenhearted, and hurt though I did not show it. "I'm outa here! Have a good party everybody!" I grabbed my half-eaten cake and stormed out of her apartment building. I didn't care if Kari wasn't following me.
