I'm up to Seventeen reviewers! This is mighty good! You guys are great, thank you! Especially to the reviewer who sent me that Digimon link, it great! Here's the 6th chapter. Staring before our war game. Mind you I've only seen Digimon: the movie, which was totally cool! Now if only they'd give Digimon come recognition like Pok'e'mon and put every episode on VHS/DVD. Enjoy! Sakura123~ This might be short, so forgive me if it sucks.

Phone calls unanswered: days of the week (Taichi/Sora's pov)
(Taichi's pov)
I awoke the next morning, feeling oddly refreshed and cramped. I tried moving me limbs but they felt as if they were frozen, they couldn't move at all. I turned my head to the side, my nose brushed up against someone else's and that's when I remembered I let my sister sleep with me, through a thunderstorm! Miko must have been on the other side. I brushed my nose against Kari's cheek several times before she stirred cracking open one eye. "Kari, wake up," I yawned.
"Taichi?" Kari mumbled, moving her hand from my chest. I felt kinda awkward with my sister that close to me being in the uncomfortable stage in my age; puberty, as was Kari. She rose from her place stretching aching little legs and arms out.
I felt Miko's soft paws walk across my stomach, and leap onto the ground practically kicking me, Kari laughed tiredly as I rose from my pillow whipping the drool from my mouth. I elbowed her softly in the ribs. "That's not funny," I grumbled tiredly, watching her climb down the ladder. Kari smiled at me before running off.
I still wanted to sleep a little more, but I had to find some way to apologize to Sora, though she had to apologized to me first. What I did wasn't all justified, but it served her right for being such a jerk over a lousy hair pen! I could hear my stomach growling, begging for something to eat, so I climbed down the ladder missing the last three stairs and fell off this time. I landed on my bottom thinking I had broken my butt bones, but since I've got all that muscle my concise told me it was impossible, though I didn't believe it. I rose to my feet, trying me damnedest to ignore the pain that throbbed in my behind.
I dragged myself into the bathroom, not bothering to screw in the light, I knew Kari blew the last fuse in it, plus the sun was out, and there was plenty light coming into the small space from our bedroom so I could see what I was washing. What happened next was unexpected; I looked up from drenching my face in water to rub soap all over it, and I thought I saw Sora in the mirror, beside me glaring coldly at me. I almost crushed the bar of soap in my hand, how'd she get inside house? Did Kari invite her in? Why would she even want to talk to me? Have I gone insane?
I blinked, and looked into the mirror again: Sora wasn't there, Kari was. I sighed loosening my grip on the soap. "Niisan, you look liked you saw a ghost," Kari said placing her hand on my wet forehead again. "Are you feeling well?" She gave me her sad eyes, which she knew I couldn't resist, I practically go all "softie-big-brother" when she does that.
I sighed, calming myself down, I shook my head as Kari removed her hand from my forehead. "Yes, Kari-san, I'm okay, I'm still a little tired that all," I said giver the most genuine smile I could muster. Kari still looked unconvinced but thankfully left it that, and headed out of the room. I looked down at the soap, discovering I had left marks all around it. "I've gotta call Sora," I muttered rubbing my face in soapsuds.
Once I was finished washing up, I heard Miko playing around with his cat-knip scented mouse as I came out of the bathroom slightly refreshed, drying my wet face off with the bottom of my shirt. Miko meowed, coming up beside me, from playing behind the bathroom door, he rubbed his face against my legs circling around me. I was careful not to kick him while he was trying to cheer me up.
Miko was my replacement pal for Agumon, despite the fact I've had the silly cat since I was a toddler with incoming teeth. I stopped at the dresser I shared with my sister that had six drawers to it. I had the top three and she had the bottom three, I pulled out the drawer, grabbing new underwear and a favorite long sleeved shirt. I knew it was too hot for it, but I couldn't care less at the time. I slipped out of my old clothes (and underwear) and hopped into my new ones.
Miko played with my old underwear, trying to carry them off someplace, I stopped him of course and threw my dirty garments into the hamper. "Miko, leave my clothes alone!" I snapped blushing. Miko stuck his tongue out an only a second before he started to groom himself. I paused for a moment, realizing he just stuck his tongue out at me on purpose!
"No, good cat!" I muttered storming out of the room. Miko meowed at me, before returning to his grooming. I passed my sister on the couch who was reading something on a small card and giggling about it. I stopped momentarily, looking over her shoulder to find out what was soo funny.
Dear Taichi:
It's Matt, I got here in one piece thankfully after a long traffic jam sitting my mother's car for what seemed like hours, and I had to take a piss once we got out of traffic! Talk about torture beyond the meaning of the word. Anyway, Once we were out of town, Mom stopped for gas and bought us ice cold Pepsi, you favorite ~.~ and some Frito's-chips. She got into a large fight which was broke up by the sounds of the police sirens, she practically ran everyone off the rode when she took off, Takeru thought we were gonna die! I couldn't blame him though.
We finally got to my Grandma's, and I didn't get much sleep with TK asking me all these questions about Mom and Dad once our Mom was gone. I tried to cheer him up with saying they were probably enjoying each other's company but I couldn't trick him so, I told him what I thought and finally got him to go to sleep. Of course I was rudely awakened by Grandma Takashi and dropped on the head, which lead me to write you this on the back of a postcard.
Your Friend:
Yamato Ishida
PS: Tell, Kari I said hi.
"Matt!" I cried snatching the postcard, from my sister's grasp. Kari blinked in shock, wondering why I would do such I rude thing possibly. I grinned stupidly at my sister, before putting all my attention back on the postcard. I scanned the letter, my smile getting bigger if possible. "He sent me! What a friend!" I sighed, before the card was snatched from my grasp. I glared at my sister, who just blew a raspberry at me. I stormed over to the phone, picking the wireless object off it's cradle and began to dial her mom's flower-shop's number. I shakily held the phone up to my ear listening to the dail-tone ring and ring, with nervousness rising in my throat. There was a click and a tried voice spoke into the phone.
"Hello, Takenouchi flower shop, this is Sora, how may I be of service to you?" Sora's voice caught me off guard, I almost dropped the phone. I had lost my voice I couldn't get a word out.
"Hello, are you still there? Sir? Ma'am?" Sora asked.
"Sora?" I muttered into the phone weakly. "It's Taichi, I wanted to apologize for---"
'click'
Dial-tone. I would have strangled the phone but, Kari's pulled it from my grasp and rested it back on it's cradle. I moved away from the phone and entered the kitchen, to search for something to eat. I would keep trying until she had to answer me. I need to apologize or I'll mad for not doing so! Though I doubt, Hikari would allow that to happen anytime soon. I wish Agumon was here.

(Sora's pov):
I was busy, organizing the phone numbers by the area codes while my Mom was fixing up the flowers to look really nice in the windows, when the phone rang. I was still miffed or angry, or even enraged at Taichi for giving such a lousy gift! I just knew he didn't like my hair, but he didn't have to go and insult me by buying a HAIR PEN! The phone continued to ring and ring until Mom's voice broke my will to ignore the phone. "Sora, dear could you answer that please?" She asked, poking her head from around the corner. I nodded hesitantly picking the phone up.
"Hello, Takenouchi flower shop, this is Sora, how may I be of service to you?" I said in my professional voice. Mom smiled, when I glanced over at her and she retuned to what she was doing. I waited for a reply, no reply came.
I was beginning to believe this was some sick killer like the one in "Scream" or just a prank call. I could hear breathing so that meant somebody was there. "Hello, are you still there? Sir? Ma'am?" I said, before I head a laugh in the background. My eyes widened, I know that laugh from anywhere!
"Sora?" The person muttered into the phone. Was it Yamato? No, it couldn't be, he and Takeru were out of town! What I heard next, caused my blood to boil over. "It's Taichi, I wanted to apologize for----" I hung the phone up, quickly to keep from screaming at him. Mom came into the room, noticing my angry look. "Sora honey, are you okay?" She asked. I looked up surprised, I placed my hands behind my back with a smile. "Yah, I just thought of something that upset me is all," I said hoping she would leave it at that.
My Mom nodded and returned to the other room. I sighed letting out my breath I didn't know I was holding in. I wasn't going to talk to Taichi, maybe not forever but I wasn't going to talk to so early.
~*~
Weeks passed, I went on about my normal life avoiding all the places Taichi would go, mainly the mall, and the soccer field. I put in overtime helping my Mom out and, she bought an answering machine so when she was out or I was, the answering machine would copy the message and we could get back to our customers. The messages left on there however were not from customers, they were from that of Taichi Yagami. He was about the most relentless person I've ever met!
Monday: Sora, Look I'm sorry! I didn't mean to blow up in your face like that. Well, maybe I did, and you deserved it--- *BEEP* I deleted his message. "Jerk," I muttered.
Tuesday: Sora please, you've gotta answer me! You can't stay mad forever! I'm truly sorry about what happened on your birthday!
Wednesday: Sigh Sora, please, please, please! This is getting majority tiresome! Call me!
Thursday: I'm sorry about the hair-pen! Sora you've gotta call me. This is driving me mad!
Friday: You have no messages. I sighed. "Thank G-O-D-!-!-!" I spelled out, I through my window glancing upward at the sky. I returned to fixing the flowers up.
Saturday night: Sora, it's Hikari. Taichi's not home right now, but I decided to give calling you a shot anyway. You've gotta forgive him, He's truly sorry about the other day. There was a pause, I waited for her to continue. Sora? Please pick up. You can't be mad at me. What did I do? Those last words from her, hurt me a bit. Why was I punishing her for something her brother did? I sighed, turning off the shop's light's. I shut the door, and locked it. I headed down the street toward the apartment.
Sunday: Sora this is, Taichi. I'm through with calling you, I've had up to the here! Ohhhh.. I know you can't see where I've had it up to, but I couldn't care less. If you don't wanna be friends anymore over some stupid hair pen, then don't expect to see me in future! Good-riddance/bye! PS: you have an ugly hat and ugly hair!
I sat behind the counter, with a satisfied look on my face. He wasn't going to call me anymore! I sighed leaning back in my chair. My Mom looked down at the phone, then up at me with a perplexed look on her face. "Was that Taichi again?" She asked. I nodded with an annoyed look on my face.
"He won't leave me alone," I said angrily. My Mom arched her eyebrow at my comment, knowing there was more to than just that. "Maybe if you forgave him he'd----" I cut her off, by waving my hand in her face, and storming out of the shop. She didn't understand, Matt wasn't here to talk it out, Mimi was in Hawaii, Izzy was too busy with his computer and this kid named Willis, Joe was studying, and I wasn't even going to talk to Hikari. I needed to blow off some of this stream, so I headed for Joe's place, regardless of the fact that he was studying for a big test.

R/R! Taich's letter to Sora is in the next chapter, accompanying A brief Izzy's pov. I think.
