Blast: Well, here I am. Good chapter 4. Anyone here who also watches Tamers, kindly tell me if you want a Ryo + Rika fic. I was planning on making one if someone is interested. And now, for the notes:

scorpion05: As you can see, Sora's father here is a noble blood, base on the settings. He couldn't possibly marry a princess if he doesn't have anything to support her with, could he? Yes, I'll make those two meet again, but that will be later.

Eliza: Thank you very much for reviewing!

Rizza426: Yeah, I hate them too. Not all stepmothers are evil, but I like it that way. Don't worry. It is still summer, I still have time to update.

missy: Thanks! She doesn't have to do that, you know. People like you are terribly hard to say 'no' to. =)

Unknown: You could've at least write your name or nick so that I can thank you properly. =)

Sir Hannah: Don't worry, more will be coming soon!

Sorato4ever: That was only the first chapter. Don't worry, I'll try to make it better, I promise. TRY is the word.

Blast: Well, that's that. And now, I don't own Digimon or its characters. This chapter will hold a huge clue for Kenyako and a little hint for Takari, but honestly, I'm not up to Takari. I like canon. Yup, I do.

CHAPTER IV: NO TITLE because Blast is so LAZY!

Sora and Louise led the Inoue's to the living room, where Koe is waiting.

"Sorry I took you." Sora said. She gestured to Marissa and Miyako. "Lady Koe, Lord Kamaki, Ken, these are Lady Marissa Inoue and her daughter, Miyako."

They all stand up and greeted each other. Meanwhile, Sora couldn't help but notice the two children, Miyako and Ken, well, both of them are greeting each other, but why are they blushing like mad?

When all of them took a seat, Sora knew that Marissa would be able to handle the situation properly now. She will no longer be needed in the conversation. "Excuse me, I'll take Ken and Miyako out to the others." She said. She looked at the two, who were more than eager to go out. Before exiting the room, Sora shot a look at Louise that says "Don't say anything stupid.".

She went back to the garden, and saw Mimi nearly going to sleep on a bench, Sam sleeping already, and Jun is still going on like a parrot induced in amphetamine. She cast a look at the younger children, who looked quite amused at the scene. Shaking her head, she approached them.

While the guards are searching the village for the crown prince, Yamato managed to stick himself with Taichi and stayed there in his gallery, wearing a disguise that could fool anyone but his parents and Takeru, his little brother.

"You know, torturing your parents like this isn't a good idea, Matt." Taichi said, munching on his bread. "And what if Takeru decides to go looking for you himself?"

"I just want them to feel the torture I get from those awfully creepy tutors." Yamato answered. "And you know I hated those weird professors more than anything else."

"Whatever you say Matt." He replied. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Something struck Matt. "Hey, you still haven't told me about that girl you scored yesterday. C'mon, tell me!"

Taichi stuck out his tongue. If Matt knows about Mimi and how is she related to Sora, he will probably be storming the Takenouchi estate, bombarding the family with questions. "My little secret, Matt."

Hikari who knows what Taichi is talking about, kept her mouth shut. Tai had told her of the Takenouchi's, and it is one very touchy subject. She continued eating while the two older men squabbled.

Suddenly, knocking is heard from outside the gallery. Hikari had closed it since it was still early in the morning. They decided to ignore it for a few seconds, but it was getting annoying, so Hikari decided to take a look. But before she could even reach the door, she heard a young male's voice through the large mahogany doors.

"Yamato Ishida! Get out of there, or I'll be forced to open this myself!" came the voice of what Matt recognized as his brother's.

"Like you can, Takeru!" Matt retorted. Hikari shakes her head.

"Matt, you are insane. I'm not going to let someone destroy my door." She said. "I'm opening it."

As soon as she opened it, a blur of blonde and blue passed by her. The next thing she knew, sound of cracking vases and destroyed plates are heard, and a figure is lying on all the mess. Taichi smacks his forehead.

Hikari realized her mistake and ran over to the young prince who was trying to sit up. "Eh, I'm so sorry, your Majesty." She said, biting her lip as she helped him stand. "I never thought you were going to barge in like that."

"Pretty foolish for a prince." Matt yawned, setting comfortably in his chair. Takeru glared at him, then returned his gaze back at Hikari.

"Hello. I'm Takeru Ishida, you can just call me T.K." he said, as he was on his feet again.

"I'm Hikari Kamiya, the sister of your brother's best friend." She said. With a curtsy she added. "Nice to meet you."

T.K. acknowledged the greeting, then went back to glaring his older brother. "Well, Yamato, since you already had fun at my expense, can we go back to the palace now? Mother is worried sick and Father looks like he is going to write his will."

"Let me think about it." Matt mused, looking up the ceiling. After a while, he looked at the younger clone that happened to be his brother. "NO! Not a chance!"

"Come on, Yamato!" he pleaded. "Please?"

"Another day, Takeru." Matt answered, propping his legs up the table. "I was planning on finding someone today. Tomorrow, I'll return, I promise."

T.K. heaved a sigh. "Okay. But don't blame me if either Mother or Father shows up here." He took a pouch out of his pocket and gave it to Hikari. "Here. You can buy new ceramics in replacement for the ones I broke."

"Thank you." Hikari mumbled in thanks as T.K. left the house. Taichi grinned.

"You know, Kari, you and T.K. could go along fabulously well." He said. Hikari just raised an eyebrow.

"Whatever you say, Tai." She grumbled as she went past him. "I have to go to that ceramic shop to buy new displays." Yamato chuckled good-naturedly as she left.

"Well, Tai, are you going to help me find that girl?" he asked. Tai sat down, sighing.

"You know, Matt, if I were you, I'd set my eyes for Lady Sora instead." Taichi said. "I never heard that the Takenouchi household had a servant."

"How can I even met her, when the girl told me that she was out of town, not probably going back for a while." He said. Taichi just shook his head.

'If only you knew, Yamato...'

Back in the garden, Sora already woke Sam and the place was going lively again. They went to the orchard, where delicious pears (AN: Do pears grow on trees? Please tell me...) are getting ripe and ready to eat. Sam was on one tree, getting the pears and throwing it down for Mimi and Sora to catch, while Ken was on another, and Miyako catching below. Jun, however, decides to go back indoors. (Good, she's away!!!)

"You know, I never had this much fun since father left." Sora said, as she caught another pear, and placing it in their basket.

"Yeah. Although I admit a bit myself that having fun with father is better than going shopping with mother and Jun." Mimi said. "So tell me, do you have plans on meeting that Matt fellow again?"

"Mimi!" the redhead exclaimed, exasperated.

"Ken!" Sam barked, causing the two girls to look at the direction of the younger boy. Ken lose his balance and fell on top of Miyako. But on one thing, for not the fact that Ken fell, it may have looked that they are in quite a position. Ken was on top of her, his face mere inches away from hers. Miyako blushed furiously.

Ken noticed her uneasiness and quickly stand up, face burning hot. He gave a hand to Miyako, who promptly accepted and both are standing, still blushing mad.

Sora and Mimi burst into a fit of giggles, and Sam was grinning at his little brother. "You go, Ken!" Ken placed a hand on the back of his neck, laughing nervously, and Miyako was looking at the ground, silently wishing it was kind enough to swallow her.

Sora heard a faint chime from inside the house. "Hey, guys, lunch is ready." She said. They all went to the house, where the ladies were kind enough to prepare lunch for the three families.
