"Anorexic? What do you mean?" Cody said.
"She's starving herself," Kari said. "I don't know why, though."
"Why would she be starving herself?" Ken said.
"Well, most people do it to become skinnier. But she's skinny enough as is," T.K. said.
"Maybe we should tell one of her siblings. They might be able to help," Cody said.
"We can't. She wouldn't want anyone to know," Kari said.
"Well, we can't just not do anything," T.K. said.
"There's always something we can do," Joe said.
"But what?" Kari asked.
~*!.....!*~
Yolei sat in the computer room, pouting. She held her stomach tighter, trying to stop the pain, but failing. She knew she had an eating disorder. Anorexia. It all started a three months ago, when she was watching a television when woman were weighed on television. One weighed less than her, and was almost ten years older. Yolei felt ashamed, and fat. She decided to stop eating as much. It was, at first, just a little less food during meals, nothing for anyone to detect, but it gradually increased, becoming only snacks now and then, to skipping meals altogether. She knew she had to stop, but how? It had gone too far in a little amount of time.
She buried her face in her hands, and, overwhelmed with pity for herself and grief for her friends, cried. Tai and Sora were walking hand in hand down the hallway, planning a surprise visit to the digital world for the younger digidestined. They expected to see Izzy in the lab, but were surprised to see Yolei there, but even more shocked to see her crying.
"Yolei, what's wrong?" Sora asked, taking a seat beside her.
Yolei just cried harder, not being able to tell them.
"What's the matter?" Tai said.
She just continued crying. So all the two could do was try and comfort her, though they had no idea what to say. Yolei finally quieted down and dried her eyes on her sleeves.
"Yolei, what got you so upset?" Sora asked calmly. Yolei didn't say anything. "It's okay, you can tell us."
Yolei shook her head.
"Yolei, if something's wrong, you should tell us," Tai said.
Yolei grabbed her stomach and hunched forward.
"Yolei, what's wrong?" Sora asked, worried.
Yolei took a deep breath, and held her stomach tighter. She looked up into Sora's caring eyes, and realized that she couldn't hide it forever. Maybe she was the one who could help her. But she wasn't ready to release her secret.
"Yolei, you'll have to tell us sometime," Tai said, then was smacked in the back of his head by Sora.
~*!.....!*~
"I'm going back to our world to talk to Yolei. I might be able to get it out of her," Kari declared.
"All right. We're going to stay here," Izzy said. "Joe, T.K., Cody, Ken, go find Davis. The reconfigurer is almost finished."
"Right," T.K. said. He winked at Kari, and he, Joe, Ken, and Cody went back on the rearch for Davis. Kari found a television monitor, and went to the human world. She landed on her brother, and the two fell from the chair to a pile on the floor. They got up.
"Kari, where are the others?" Tai asked.
"They're still in the digital world, trying to rescue some girl on the verge of insanity because of a dark spore," Kari replied.
"Do you know what's wrong with Yolei?" Sora asked.
"Maybe," Kari said. She bent down and whispered something in Yolei's ear, then moved back. Yolei's mouth was open wide, staring in shock at her friend. "Is it true?"
"What is it, Kari?" Sora asked.
Kari looked at Yolei. Yolei glared at her, and held her midsection tighter.
"Is it true, Yolei?" Kari asked again.
Yolei said nothing. She stood up, grabbed her stuff, and ran out of the computer lab.
"What is it, Kari?" Tai asked.
"We have a hunch that Yolei's anorexic," Kari said.
"Anorexic? Why?" Sora asked.
"Well, maybe she's not anorexic. Maybe it's school problems or something," Tai said.
"Maybe," Kari said. "Well, we're in the digital world trying to rescue this girl who was banished to the Dark Ocean, then there was an explosion and we can't find Davis. And to top it all off, you have this thing with Yolei."
"Wow, you guys have a lot on your hands. Sora, go get Matt, and tell Jun some stupid excuse for her brother. I'm going to go to the digital world. Kari, you go get Yolei," Tai said. He went to the digital world. Sora ran to the high school. Kari went to find Yolei.

"Natalie?" Davis said, staring at the second person who came in the room. It was a girl with dark green hair that reached her shoulders and brown eyes. She was wearing a white shirt with a collar and long sleeves with cuffs, a light blue jumper, white knee socks, and brown shoes. Her hands were tied by a rope, which was held by Hikuto. She looked up to see who called her name.
"Davis?" she said. Hikuto pushed her onto the floor by Davis's legs. She looked up at the older one. "That is no way to treat a lady!"
"Well, you're not a lady. You're just a little runt," Jaunte said.
"I am not! What did you do to my Gizamon? If I see one scratch on him, I'm gonna kick your--"
"Watch it, girlie. The Master doesn't like hearing that kind of language," Hikuto said.
The other person was a man, somewhere in his late teens, was standing in the doorway beside Hikuto. He had dark brown hair and dark violet eyes. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, black pants, and a black overcoat.
"Hey! You're the guy who--"
"All right, listen up," the man said, interrupting Davis. "Where's the girl? You've both been near her while you were in the digital world. Where is she?"
"Who? Serena?" Davis asked.
"Yeah, pinprick," the man said. "Where is she?"
"She was headed towards the continent of Folder, last time I saw her," Natalie said.
"Jaunte, Hikuto, come."
He walked off, the two boys following. The kids heard the door lock and footsteps head away.
"Natalie, I didn't know you were a destined," Davis said.
"I was trying to tell you, but you said you had to go to soccer practice, so I couldn't. Then, after that, I couldn't find you, and your sister said you were out," Natalie said. "I was going to tell you in the digital world, but then Jaunte grabbed me and brought me here."
"How'd you know I was a destined?" Davis asked.
"I saw you when you were traveling the world, duh! Davis, do you know Serena?"
"Not really. All I know is that she had an active spore and then she realized what she as doing. But then she was called by the DigiGods, and banished to the Dark Ocean. How do you know her?"
"Well, I just got my digimon three days ago, and yesterday was my first trip to the Digital world, so Gizamon and I were just looking around. Then she popped up and challenged me. It was a draw because we heard something and panicked and ran off. And I found out that Serena is my father's brother's daughter, she's one of my cousins I didn't get to meet yet."
"Your cousin," Davis said. "Oh. Well, do yoou know who that 'Master' guy is?"
"Serena's older brother, Derek. He's nineteen, so he lives on his own. Jaunte and Hikuto are friends of his from Drama class." Natalie pulled herself up to her feet and walked over to the door. "Derek! Let us out!"
"I guess we're stuck in here," Davis said.
"Oh, I forgot. Davis, I have a pocketknife in my pocket. I want you get it out and try and open it."
"How am I supposed to do that?"
~*!.....!*~
Kari found Yolei at the park, sitting on a bench. She sat beside her friend.
"Yolei?" she said.
"I can't stop it, Kari," Yolei said, crying. "It's already gone too far!"
"What's gone too far?" Kari asked.
"You know," Yolei sobbed. "You guessed it. I'm sick, and I can't help it."
"So you are anorexic?"
Yolei nodded, wiping her face.
"How long has tthis been going on?"
"Three..." Yolei buried her face in her hands.
"Three what? Three weeks?"
"No."
"Months?"
Yolei nodded.
"Oh, Yolei," Kari said.
