Well, I thank all of u that have been reading this. I know the Whole past and future Yamato conversation was confusing, but I don't know how to tell them apart in any other way. hehe.I hope you guys enjoy this chapter
"Are you lost?" Sora looked up at the woman who was smiling at her warmly. The woman had short black hair that contrasted with her blue eyes and pale skin. She smiled back at the woman, nodding. "You can come to my home. I'll give you something to eat, you looked famished." Sora smiled and accepted the woman's offer. Both woman started off in the direction that lead to the black haired woman's home.
Something was bothering Sora as she walked. She had seen Takeru run into the alley where Hikari was, so Hikari would be fine. The thing that kept bothering her had to do with what was going on. The woman next to her was very nice, she was quiet, but she looked like she was very sad. That wasn't what was eating at her.
"AYA!" A girl's voice pulled her from her thoughts, causing Sora to stare at a little girl that was no older than 7. She had medium length blonde hair and big blue eyes. The girl ran into the black haired woman's arms.
"Ishida Himeko, what are you doing coming here at such a late hour?" Sora looked at the woman and noticed a flash of pain in her eyes as she stared at the blonde child. Sora studied the girl, something about her seemed familiar.
"Aya, Uncle Taichi and Uncle Jyou are yelling at my Dad! They said that they needed to talk about Mom. Oh yeah, Dad got us from Uncle Takeru and Aunt Hikari's, but he looks a lot younger and was really weird when we tried to ask him what had been going on for the last six months." Himeko said quickly, joy filling her voice as she finished her sentence. Aya smiled at the girl and hugged her.
"That's wonderful, Himeko. That still doesn't say why you have to see me when its almost night time." Himeko frowned and rolled her eyes.
"Aya, I think that my Dad came from the future! Just like I told you about my dream. Well, if my Dad is here, then my Mom is too." Himeko stared up at Aya her eyes filled with hope. She hadn't noticed Sora yet, but Sora was staring at himeko, her eyes wide in shock.
"Honey, I don't think that's possible. How can somebody come from the past? You know very well it isn't possible." Himeko stomped her foot on the ground and crossed her arms over her chest.
"If there can be a digi world, then I'm sure that there can be time travel! The stars listen to me! Mom told me that and if I wished for something that was meant to be then it would come true." Sora's mouth dropped.
"You know about the Digital world?!" Sora was dumbfounded. The little girl stared up at Sora in disbelief.
"Of course, only my parents, Uncle Takeru, Uncle Taichi, Uncle Jyou, Uncle Iori, Uncle Daisuke- before he was in the comma because he hurt Aunt Hikari-, Sotaru, Uncle Koshirou, Aunt Mimi, Aunt Hikari and Aunt Miyako can. None of us kids can go alone though. Makato, Kasumi, Aki, Kaiba, Ryu and I can't, but we can when Grandpa Gennai find a Digimon for us. I want a Piyomon, just like my Mom. She's really powerful and-" Sora cut the little girl off.
"I know what she can do. I have a Piyomon." Sora grabbed the emblem hanging from her necklace. Yamato had given it to her for her birthday that year. He had made it himself and was very proud of it, of course he had made one for all of the others, but he had taken the most time in hers, she had a feeling that he had. He even had an emerald put in for her birthday, where the circle was in the crest. She always wore it, and made sure that it was with her if she couldn't wear it at that moment. It made her feel like Yamato was with her all the time.
"Really? Wow, that's a pretty necklace. My mom had one like that, but Sotaru gave it to Dad when he told her she was dead." Sora stared at the girl in shock. Himeko smiled as she stared at the heart hanging from Sora's neck. "My Dad wears it now. He says he doesn't but I saw it a couple of times when he thought he was alone. He would pull it out and kiss it, but he always started to cry. Why do you think that, Aya?" Himeko asked, without moving her eyes from the stone.
"I think that it reminds it of your mother, dear. He really misses her, huh?" Himeko nodded and looked at Aya.
"I miss her too. But if Dad came from that past, then Mom must've too so alls I got to do is find Mom!" Himeko stopped jumping up in down in place and stared at the two woman. "The only problem is that I don't know how Mom looked when she was..." Himeko paused as she tried to think of how old her uncle had said her dad looked like. "18!" Sora bit her lip as she continued to watch the child in front of her.
"Well, use a picture. But I think you should wait until tomorrow to do that, until then you can come home with me and Sora." Sora stared at the woman in shok. How could she have known her name. Sora didn't recall giving her name to the woman, but she might have said it instinctivly. She didn't remember though.
"Your name's Sora?! Wow, so's my Mom's. Ishida Sora. She was so pretty. I love her so much. She had long red hair that she grew out, because my dad loves her hair and she has crimson eyes that are so pretty. My dad said that they were stars plucked form the heavens just for her. My brother got looks like her when she was a little girl. She was just like me and hated all of the girly things!" Aya laughed and rubbed Himeko's head.
"I don't think Sora really is interested in hearing about your mom, honey." Aya said and went to pick up Himeko, who pulled away from Aya. "Let's get to my place." Sora noticed a look of sadness in Aya's eyes as she stared at the girl.
"Do you want a piggy back ride?" Sora offered the girl. Himeko smiled and nodded her head. Sora knelt and helped Himeko onto her back. Aya smiled and started to walk towards her home, leading Sora and Himeko.
"You look like my mom, Sora." Himeko whispered as Sora rounded the corner. Sora smiled to herself, not knowing why she was smiling. Something in her told her that carrying this little girl was right.
"What's your dad's name?" Himeko nuzzled her face into Sora's neck. Sora smiled as the girl's breath tickled her skin.
"Ishida...Yama..." Himeko yawned and shut her eyes. She fell asleep and kept her arms tight around Sora. Sora smiled as she walked in Aya's footsteps. Thoughts and questions stared to run through her mind: This is Yamato's child and her mother's name is Sora? Am I her? Why would I cheat on Yamato? Do I love him that much? Oh my God, I'm going to marry Yamato! I'm going to have two children with him! But I'll cheat on him, which means we'll get a divorce. Yama never wants to get in a relationship, because he doesn't want to put his children through the pain and confusion that he went through. Oh no, what am I going to do to him? Yama?! Where'd thatcome from?!
"We're here." Sora smiled as Aya opened the door witing for her guests to enter first. "Oh, did Himeko fall asleep? She's so angelic, just like her father when he's asleep. She even drools like him." Sora expected herself to get upset about the drool, instead she found herself wanting to hear more about Yamato.
Aya started to pull Himeko from Sora, but Himeko wouldn't move. She held tighter to Sora and let out a small wimper before Aya released her. Sora sighed and moved Himeko so she was wrapped around the front of her body. This felt so natural and right for her to be doing. Sora kissed Himeko's cheek and pulled the girl's arms from her neck. Sora moved to the couch and knelt to lay Himeko down, but Himeko snaked her arms around Sora's neck.
"Himeko, you have to let me go. Its not comfortable to sleep upright." Himeko shook her head and buried her head into Sora's shoulder. Sora tried to pull Himeko again, but found that she wasn't all that willing to release the girl, either.
"Himeko!" Aya's stern voice echoed throughout the small apartment. Himeko sighed and released Sora. Sora put Himeko on the couch and pulled the little blanket over her. She tucked her in and smiled at the sleeping girl. Aya was right, she did look like Yamato when he slept.
"I'm sorry about that, Sora. She can be stubborn sometimes, but then again you know how stubborn you and Yamato are." Sora stared at Aya bewildered at the comment.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Sora stared at Aya in disbelief. Aya sat down in a chair and took a sip of the liquid in her cup.
"You heard what I said. Don't deny it! Yamato and you are going to get married and have two wonderful children. The problem is I don't think little Himeko understands what that means if her parents got back together." Sora glanced at Himeko's figure. She stood and gently lifted Himeko's head, then put her on her lap as she sat down. Aya smiled at the image. "I can see why Yamato fell in love with the camera when they first got married. You two do look wonderful together. He was so sad when she left."
"Why are you so interested in this girl?" Aya laughed at Sora and then frowned.
"Sora, you'll deal with hell when you marry Yamato. Sure it'll be heaven until after Ryu's born, then he'll start following you. You won't be able to escape him when he goes after you. He'll rip every ounce of pride you have from you, not only will he do it any time you are alone, you won't have the guts to tell Yamato, because you'll be afraid of him being thrown in jail- taken away from you and the kids- or worse have him killed. Sora even now you love him, I should know. I remember when I was 18, how happy I was pretending to be his girlfriend. You made sure that he was safe, you always get to be with him and then to make everything seem like magic, he asks you to be his real girlfriend and tells you he loves you.
"How the hell do you think it'll feel when you have to leave your husband, knowing that you can never tell him why you are leaving him? It hurts like hell!" Aya said and stared at Sora, her eyes filling with tears. "Before I left I took two things and had them with me at all times. The first you know well, you gave it to him on his birthday after the whole Digiworld experience." Aya handed Sora a picture of Taichi, Sora and Yamato in their soccer outfits, Taichi was holding up a trophy and Yamato hugging Sora to him.
"Then there's this necklace that I always wear." Aya removed a necklace that had the crest of freindship hanging from it. Sora's mouth dropped as she stared at the charm. She remembered that charm hanging from Yamato's neck whenever he walked around with enough of his chest showing. It was always something Sora would stare at, it was like his sign, no matter where he went if he lost everything that made him Yamato, except that charm, Sora would know him from just that necklace.
"How'd you get that?" Sora asked, already knowing the answer. Aya smiled and kissed the charm before putting it back in her shirt.
"How do you think I got it? I didn't have to break into my own husbands home to get it if that's what you are thinking." Aya said as she touched her hair. She sighed and brought her finger to her eye and removed the contacts that were covering her true eye color- Crimson.
"So, you're me in the future?" Sora said quietly and looked down at Himeko. "How did you get her to trust you?" Sora asked as she brushed Himeko's hair delicatly with her hand.
"Sora...Sora...Sora, you won't understand for sometime what a strong bond you'll have with your children. Himeko and Ryu can feel so comfortable around me and not even know it. But they go on talking and talking and I rapidly gained their trust and Himeko soon started to come to me for help in the smallest thing."
"Mommy..." Sora and Aya- well Sora-(A/N due to the fact that Sora has no name change I'll refer to future Sora as Aya and Sora of the present as Sora, hope you get that) looked down at the little girl. Sora smiled at the child and touched her cheek softly. Himeko's small hand reached up and grabbed Sora's and pulled it to her chest.
"She hasn't called me that since she caught Sotaru kissing me at the Christmas partyafter Ryu was born. My baby girl. I missed her so much." Sora looked at her future self trying to picture everything that was in her destiny. She could understand how she became so sour, but how could she never tell Yamato what would happen to her. They were pretty open with eachother in their own time, but how could they're being married change that?

"Do you actually have your cell with you?" Aya looked at Sora in complete astonishment. Sora smiled and reached into her back pocket, removing her cell.
"Moshi-Moshi?" Sora said in a whisper.
"Sora? Where are you?" Sora smiled at the voice on the other end.
"You won't believe how glad I am to hear your voice." Sora said softly.
"I'm glad to hear your voice too. I'm in my bathroom at the moment. Taichi and Jyou are in the living room and they just told me that you were dead. I'm so glad to hear you're not." Sora smiled as she listened to her friend's voice. "We need to meet up, Sora. We need to figure out what's going on."
"I know what's going on, Yama-kun." Sora said calmly and looked down at Himeko.
"What was with the nickname?" Aya stared at Sora in shock. Never had she called Yamato anything, but Yamato, hearing have a nickname was astonishing.
"I just felt like calling you that, OK?" Sora said and felt her face heat up. "Where do you want to meet?"
"The High School in an hour?" Sora nodded.
"Ok." Sora looked at the girl on her lap. Aya had gotten up and went to make some hot chococate.
"Sora, I have to bring some people with me though." Yamato said with a bit of happiness in his voice. Sora smiled and looked at the kid on her lap.
"Me too. I'll see you in an hour?" Sora smiled and hung up. She looked at the child on her lap. "Hey, Himeko, honey, I need you to wake up, hun." Himeko opened her eyes and looked up at Sora.
"Mom..Mommy!" Himeko cried and wrapped her arms aroudn Sora. "I missed you so much, Mom! Never leave us again!" Sora smiled and held the girl in her arms, her heart feeling warmer then she ever thought she could feel.
"Sora, where do you think that you are going?" Aya asked as she walked into the room. She stared at the two on the couch. "You're going to see him aren't you?" Sora nodded as Aya sighed.
"Aya, look, I found my mom! I'm so happy! Dad ws right, Mom was beautiful when she was young, too. I hope I become as pretty as you are, Mom." Sora smiled, she was very flattered by Himeko, even though she knew it was a normal thing for children to do. Sora caught Aya wince at Himeko's words.
"Aya, I have to go meet him in order to get back to my time." Aya stared at Sora and sighed.
"Don't try to get us back together. He would never take me back after he heard what I did." Sora sighed.
"Aya, will you be here tomorrow?" Aya nodded and went to Himeko.
"Be a good girl, Himeko." Himeko smiled at Aya.
"I love your eyes, Aya. Don't worry, I'm with Mom. I'll be a very good girl, just so she doesn't leave again." Aya winced, but quickly smiled at her daughter.
"C'mon, Himeko-chan." Sora said as she lifted Himeko onto her back. The little girl smiled and clung to Sora, while humming a familiar tune.
"Do you remember this song, Mom?" Himeko asked, her voice spilling with joy. "Dad sang it to us on your birthday. He said it was a tradition. Do you remember, Mommy?" Sora smiled, she didn't know that the song was for her. She remembered that was the ttune the band was working on at that time. Sora smiled as she walked down the street.
"Are you lost?" Sora looked up at the woman who was smiling at her warmly. The woman had short black hair that contrasted with her blue eyes and pale skin. She smiled back at the woman, nodding. "You can come to my home. I'll give you something to eat, you looked famished." Sora smiled and accepted the woman's offer.
