Digimon {Digital Monsters}
Is This Destiny?

Disclaimer: For the last flipping time I do not own Digimon! We all clear on that? Good. I also do not own 'With You All the Time.' Mr Gates and his recording company do, I'm just borrowing it.

This is an epilogue to the story 'Is This Destiny?' it takes place approximately two months after the digidestined defeat Psyslickomon and the Digimon are able to live in the human world. Please read and review folks. Aquamon and I would really appreciate it.

Several moths after the digidestined had saved the two worlds from Psyslickomon's evil grasp, Kari and the others had moved on with their lives. Tai was going to college, as usual, Matt's band was on Tour after getting a record contract. Sora was at college with Tai, but still helped out in her mom's flower shop, while Mimi had moved back to Japan to go to college in Tokyo for a year. Joe had long since graduated and was now training to be a physiotherapist, preferably working with children. T.K and Kari were beginning college that year and were working hard to get good grades, as was Davis, but he had bigger things in mind; starting his own business by the following year. Not many thought he would manage it, but he was determined to show them. Yolei had started on her second year at college and was settling down into a working/studying routine. Cody was in high school, about to sit his first exams, and he was really nervous about them, though Joe told him not to worry about them too much.

"As long as you've studied you'll be fine Cody. You're a smart kid." Joe had said for the fourteenth time in two weeks. Ken had gained a scholarship into the Police College and was currently studying in Kobe, but he stayed in regular contact with the other digidestined.

Kari crouched at the graveside, placing fresh flowers down and generally cleaning up the area. A few tears slowly made their way down the young woman's pretty face. She quickly brushed them away,

"Oh well," she sighed, "guess I'm still the only one visiting at the minute huh?" she asked no one in particular. She fingered at a chain that hung around her neck, on the end of it was a beautiful silver eternity ring. The ring was twisted into a sideways figure of eight shape and was studded with rose quartz and amethyst stones, each beginning at one end and intertwining in the middle. A gift from her now deceased boyfriend, and soul mate. Kari finished cleaning the headstone and stepped back to admire it. A polished ivory headstone stood proudly before her, engraved on it were the words

Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi

12th March 1985-3rd February 2004

Loving son and loyal friend

Izzy gave his life to save the two worlds,

May we now:

"Get wisdom,

Get Understanding and

Forget it not."

So that we may preserve the worlds he tried to save for future generations
to admire.

At the top of the headstone, the Crest of Knowledge was engraved and filled a beautiful deep purple colour to make it stand out. Kari smiled at the sight; it was so beautiful. She held back fresh tears as she arranged the flowers in the vase standing at the left-hand side of the stone. When she was done, Kari slowly walked off, carefully looking back at one of the few reminders that she had of her "ex" boyfriend.

When she got home, Kari switched on the radio and had a good rummage in the fridge for the chocolate bar she'd placed in there a couple of days ago. When she noticed it was gone,

"Hey Gatomon!" she called to her partner,

"Yeah Kari?" came the almost guilty reply from the bedroom,

"Have you been at my chocolate again?" Kari asked, stifling a giggle. She knew that Gatomon was the only one who'd steal her chocolate, and the guilty tone in the catlike Digimon's reply gave her away big time.

"Ok, ok you got me. But I was hungry!" Gatomon exclaimed as she came through to the kitchen.

"It's ok Gatomon, just ask me the next time all right." Kari smiled. She grabbed a pot of yoghurt and slouched down on the sofa, listening to the radio.

"Ok then folks, we've got a real treat for you now. Matt Ishida of the Teenage Wolves is here with me to talk about the groups new single." Kari sat up, she loved Matt's songs and would often buy them and play them on repeat for hours on end. She listened intently as Matt's soft voice came over the radio.

"Thanks Mike, this new song is dedicated to all those lonely people out there. It wasn't written by any of us guys in the band, nor was it written by our record company." Matt's voice began to crack a little,

"Oh, so who was it written by, and why are you releasing it?" the radio show host asked curiously. Matt sighed, gathering his emotions together,

"It was written about six months ago by an old friend, Izzy Izumi. He asked me to have it and put some music to it as a final dedication to his girlfriend Hikari Kamiya." Matt's voice was so soft, Kari could barely hear it, but she was by now listening so intently that she had no trouble in hearing those last words.

"Kari. Hope you're listening cause this first airing's just for you. Mike?" Kari bit back tears as the opening notes began to play softly in the background.

"I live beneath the heart,

I watch you from the dark.

I'm every breath,

I'm every dream.

I've known you forever,

I've followed you everywhere.

I'm every scar,

I'm who you are.

When you think you're alone,

When you cry 'cause the world's unfair,

You can rest assured,

I'm always there.

Even when you feel like you don't belong,

Even when you fall and it all goes wrong.

Know that I'm with you,

I'm with you all the time.

Say a little prayer for the restless heart,

We shall never, ever drift apart.

Know that I'm with you,

Know that I'm with you,

I'm with you all the time.

I walk your every road,

I'm laughing when you're smiling.

And when you cry,

I cry too.

I made you a promise,

That I shall forever keep.

You're on your own,

But not alone.

When you're down and you're out,

And the world tells you

No one cares,

You can rest assured,

I'm always there.

Even when you feel like you don't belong,

Even when you fall and it all goes wrong.

Know that I'm with you,

I'm with you all the time.

Say a little prayer for the restless hear,

We shall never, ever drift apart.

Know that I'm with you,

I'm with you all the time.

Save a little love for me,

{And you'll see}

Save a little love for me,

{And you'll see}

Save a little love for me,

{And you'll see}

And you'll see.

Even when you feel like you don't belong,

Even when you fall and it all goes wrong.

Know that I'm with you,

I'm with you all the time.

Say a little prayer for the restless heart,

We shall never, ever drift apart.

Know that I'm with you,

Know that I'm with you,

I'm with you all the time."

Kari sniffed, the song was so sweet and it had captured her imagination. She wiped the tears that had been streaming down her face away,

"Thank you Izzy. I love you." She whispered as she cuddled Gatomon and drifted off into a happy sleep.

The End.

So what do you think everyone, good bad? Please let me know. That concludes my fanfiction 'Is This Destiny?' I may or may not write a fic detailing Icy and Kari's early relationship; it depends on how many reviews I get. So if you want that fic you know what you have to do. See you later people.
