"Damn it, Cody! TK's not home either!"
"Don't look at me! I don't have a car!"
"Well… neither do I. What are the odds THIS would happen… to US?" Yolei's "tummy aches" were coming more frequently now and she was beginning to get a little frightened. Currently, she lay on Davis's couch, alternately screaming in pain and shoveling devilled eggs into her mouth. It was not a good combination to behold.
Cody sighed, "How can it possibly be that Tai, Matt, Kari, TK, Mimi, and Izzy are all away from their phones?" Unbeknownst to them, all six of them did have their phones; accordingly, they all possessed caller ID and didn't feel like taking a call from Davis.
"Noooooooo!! What the hell was that!? Are you blind!?" Davis shrieked suddenly.
Aggravated, Cody switched off the TV, "Uh… uh… uh… SORA! DAVIS, CALL SORA!"
Davis made a face, still staring at the blank screen as he picked up the phone. As he was dialing, a voice rang out from the kitchen, "Davis, are you out of salt pork?"
----------------------------------
He had seen her go in with the miniskirt. He had watched her intently as she walked out heedlessly, picked up a bottle of cranberry scented soap, and paid for it. She hadn't put the miniskirt back! He watched as she smiled and laughed, waving goodbye to the cashier as she headed out the door. Cautiously, he stepped into the dressing room where she had just been; not surprised to see that it was completely empty. Not an orange miniskirt in sight.
Jogging, he followed her out the door, jogging faster and faster until her caught up with her, placing a hand on her shoulder. Instantly, she flinched and whipped around.
"TK!" She shrieked, "Get away from me!"
He bit his lip, looking at her, "I am so, so sorry."
She glared at him furiously, "You'd better be!" She shook her head, trying to convert her rage into words, "I… I mean, you're a hooker! You… you… hooker!"
TK gritted his teeth and balled his fists, "Hey Kari, what's in the shopping bag?"
The color in her face drained, "Soap."
"It's an awful big bag for just soap."
She tightened her grip on the handles, "I bought some other stuff too."
He smirked, "Like that miniskirt? I bet it looks real cute on you."
"Shut up, TK."
"Don't give me that."
Flustered, she threw the bag down, "No, you don't give ME that. I really liked you, TK, for a long time and you… you… GOD!" She turned and ran down the sidewalk, leaving her bag behind.
In a flush, TK grabbed her bag and followed after her, catching up easily. Frantically, she rounded a corner to escape his pursuit. "Kari!" he yelled, following. She turned again, winding deeper into the Tokyo back alleys so famous for illegal activity. TK stopped to take a breath, looking up at the steadily darkening sky. It was only about 5 PM and looked like it was nearing 10. Now which way had Kari turned? He ground his teeth together in determination and guessed left.
An empty alley. He sighed, hoping her had picked the right direction, and turned another corner, and realizing more and more with each step how hopeless his situation really was.

Despite her current state of distress, Sora knew it would be of utmost importance to get Yolei to the hospital. The rearview mirror showed a scene in the backseat that would have been quite comical to Sora had it not been so pathetic. A quick game of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' had made Cody the lucky recipient of the front seat of Sora's car. On the other hand, Davis sat, as far as he could physically get away from Yolei, who was pressed up against the opposite window, clutching her stomach and writhing in pain.
"So, ah, Yolei," Cody said sarcastically, "How's the stomach ache coming along?"
"Aaaarrrrggghhhh!" said Yolei.
At this, even Sora smiled, trying to figure out if Yolei was still trying to deny her blatant pregnancy, or if she actually had found a way to be that ignorant.
Cody continued on, unfazed, "Just tell us already, Yolei. Who is the father?"
She squirmed painfully, managing to scream between contractions, "I'm… not… preg… ant!"
"Augh!" Davis shouted, having had enough, "YES! YOU! ARE!"
"Nooooo!" Yolei shrieked, soaring into the back of Sora's seat as the car made a wide turn into the hospital parking lot.
Somehow, throughout the array of chaos spread throughout her car, Sora managed to keep level-headed long enough to pull up to the door to the maternity wing of the hospital. "Cody," she said coolly, "Escort Yolei into the hospital and check her into the maternity- "
Yolei cut in, "I'm not-"
"Shut up, Yolei. Davis, you call Yolei's family and then the rest of the gang, everyone should be here to see this. I'll park the car and be in in a minute."
Begrudgingly, Cody stepped out of the car and grabbed Yolei's elbow, yanking her into the hospital. Davis followed them, attempting to get Sora's cell phone to turn on. Alone in the car, Sora found herself sitting alone for a few minutes, smiling at the irony of it all.
----------------------------------
Matt checked his watch, Brent's friend was more than half an hour late, and Matt didn't like being out here for so long in daylight, he felt so… conspicuous. He figured he'd just wait around for about five more minutes. If the friend didn't show, Matt would just head home and beat Brent's ass later.
Looking around, he tried to find something of interest in the bleak side street that was his usual meeting place. There was a bit of graffiti on one of the crumbling cement walls, but other than that, not a single sign of excitement anywhere near.
Suddenly, the air was pierced with loud footsteps: someone was running. If Brent's little buddy had the cops on his tail and ended up leading them to Matt, he would kill him the second he got the chance. He'd… The footsteps got louder and just as Matt looked up, the slim figure of a girl appeared at the mouth of the alley. From about 30 feet away, he recognized her almost instantly - it was Kari.
She took a few steps closer, coming into better focus. Matt could see that there were a couple tear stains on her cheeks, and it looked like any second, a whole flood more could flood from her eyes.
"Kari?" He finally asked, already sensing the answer to the question he was about to ask, "Did… did my brother do this to you?" She nodded, sniffling as he took a couple steps closer to her, hoping she wasn't wondering what he was doing in a dingy side street in the middle of the day. He pulled her into a hug, "What happened?"
Reaching into her pocket, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and dabbed at her eyes, "Oh Matt, I don't wanna talk about it."
He smiled weakly, racking his brain for the remaining shards of moral advice he had left, when Kari leaned over and kissed him - right on the lips.
Now, had Matt been a normal guy without a moderately large amount of speed in his system and still reasonably hung over, he might have said to himself, "Hey, this is my little brother's girlfriend kissing me. They are obviously having some issues and she is probably feeling very insecure and vulnerable right now. I should gently push her away and talk with her about what is going wrong." Unfortunately for the well-being of many people, including Matt himself, Matt was not that certain type of normal guy. Instead, what he said to himself was more along the lines of "Well, hey - Kari is pretty hot…"
He put his hand on her cheek, rather shocked at how good of a kisser Kari was. In his mind, she would probably always be Tai's little sister, tagging along and wanting to play with the big boys. Remembering this, he stopped himself when his natural frontman-of-a-small-time-rock-band instinct kicked in and he had begun unbuttoning her light blue polo. To his immense surprise, Kari moved his hand back to its original position while still kissing him. "No," Matt said, pulling away, "Not now. Not here."
Kari tilted her head towards him, "Where should we go then?" she cooed softly.
"Go?" He laughed, stifling a chuckle, "I can't 'go' anywhere with you - it'd be illegal."
She smiled seductively, "Not quite, Matt. Did you forget that I turned 18 two months ago?"
Despite himself, Matt was quite taken aback, she WAS old enough. He sat there for a moment, pondering this as he looked Tai's baby sister in the face. Shutting his eyes, he nodded his head, "Mmmm, okay. Yeah, my car's back here."
With a mischievous smile, Kari linked her arm with his, "A car? That will be just fine."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsk, tsk. When will these silly little people learn that revenge won't help anything?
Chapter 8 swirls in the NOD… it's mostly about Sora rounding everyone up everyone to the birth of Yolei's… um, baby. But I don't wanna give up too much. So, review. If I don't get any love, I won't wanna continue, ya know?
Of course you know.
