Disclaimer - I don't own Digimon.

Hey 2 all my friends. Love u guys soooooooooo much

This fic is dedicated to Hannah cause without her I wouldn't have found my creative outlet!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What!" TK yelled. "Are you serious?"

"Would I joke about anything this bad" Tai yelled. Both appeared to be deafening the other but neither had noticed. TK struggled to keep his mind straight.

"I'll be over there as soon as I can," he promised Tai. "Please don't do anything stupid until I'm there."

"You too, lover boy," Tai even managed a feeble joke at this awkward time. "See you then, TK; I dunno how much time we have got."

"Yeah, I'll be there soon, bye Tai!" There was no response except for a soft 'click' at the other end. TK put the phone down too. He sat down in the nearest arm chair. He and Kari had recently started dating, after confessing their love for each other. TK thought about Kari. He had loved her since they were both just eight years old and Kari had become a Digidestined for the first time. He thought about her smile, her incredible eyes, the time when they had first kissed,

"TK," a small high voice drew him out of the dream world. Patomon was standing, or rather flying behind him. "We ought to get a move on you know. Tai is going to be really worried and I don't trust him or you alone when you're both in this state."

"Your probably right Patomon," TK said, realising he had been in a daze for a few minutes. He grabbed a coat from the hall and yelled into the house where he was going. After a second thought her grabbed a backpack and let Patomon fly inside. He ran out into the street and headed towards the apartment block where the Kamiyas lived.

Fifteen minutes later, TK and Tai were sitting on the floor of Tai's untidy bedroom with a clutter of things between them. They had maps, photos, phone books, Kari's address book and diary between them. Kari's diary was the only thing untouched in the sea of paper. Neither, even in these desperate circumstances, had wanted to invade her privacy.

"Right," said Tai, suddenly business like, "I'll go to Sora's house and you go to Yolei's,"

"Wouldn't it be easier just to ring them," TK grinned. Tai wanted any excuse to visit Sora.

"Um, Yeh I guess so," Tai wasn't very happy. "Anyway we had better ring Mimi too."

"But she is in New York!" TK was a little confused by this suggestion.

"I know," but she might at least have SOME idea of where Kari is." Tai said briskly. "I mean, we don't, do we?"

TK was silent, he knew Tai was right

"But first," Tai pressed on. TK was stunned. He had come up with no plans to help find Kari but Tai seemed to have them pouring out of his head. Tai continued, "Help me draft an email to send to the others, calling an urgent meeting." Tai turned as he spoke to the large monitor sticking out of load of shelves. He busied himself with typing the message for a little while then asked TK to check it

The message read,

Hey guys, Can we all meet today at my apartment? Kari is missing and we NEED to find her. Is 12:30 ish ok for everyone? C u all then. Tai

TK nodded bluntly. Tai pushed the send button and the 8 respective emails flew off to their new owners (Tai had sent one to Mimi, to let her know what was happening)

Tai slid his chair back a few inches or so and turned to face TK. He looked helpless, not like the old leader TK knew. TK said feebly

"So there isn't any need for us to go to everyone's houses then, is there." He paused briefly, then continued, "because they would ring if they knew anything, wouldn't they. He didn't tell Tai that the real reason he was staying behind was because he did not trust Tai on his own, in this state. He would have done something stupid, TK reasoned. "But then," he thought to himself, "So would I."

They passed the time in silence. Each slumped against the opposite wall, not looking at each other deliberately. TK was killing himself inside.

"I should be doing something," he thought. "I can't though can I?" He spent the rest of the time staring at the picture of Kari and Tai that Tai kept beside his bed. He had the strangest feeling Tai was staring at it too.

When the doorbell finally rang the aura of hopelessness was momentarily broken. It was Davis. He burst into the room shouting and immediately rounded on TK

"All right," he yelled, apparently furious, "What have you done to her this time?"
