Okay, this is my fourth chapter. I've been busy lately. I'm trying to write more, but I have a lot of tests, projects, and homework. I also am working on my grammar. If I am doing anything wrong, please report it to me. Thanks. I hope you guys enjoy. I don't think the story is that sad. If you guys have any ideas; I'll take it.
I'll try to fit it into my story. The next chapter will also be about Sora and T.K. If you aren't satisfied with anything, you can tell me. Sorry Sleepy Kitty for not know that stomach cancer is curable. I'll receive any reviews. Flames are welcomed. I don't mind. I'm not perfect. HaHaz.
Tai and Kari had both crashed into their beds last night, but not before they told the police that their parents were dead. The police didn't suspect any foul play. Their deaths were recorded.

The officers felt bad for the children. They questioned where Tai and Kari were going to live. Tai and Kari said that they were going to live with their family. The policemen said that they would have a week to move out of their apartment or they would be sent to an orphanage. Kari and Tai said okay and picked out the coffins. They decided to hire some diggers and place the coffin underground.
Tai and Kari had done it. They buried their parents. Mr. Kamiya and Mrs. Kamiya were buried looking their best. Nobody attended the funeral beside Tai and Kari themselves. The gravestones were beautiful with a reddish- pink gloss over them with delicate designs. The gravestones read:
Mrs. Jane Kamiya
A great mother, friend, sister, wife,
aunt, daughter, and cousin
A believer in God, she committed no sins
Forever may she rest in peace
and reside in heaven with her loved ones

Tai and Kari stayed at the sakura tree for three hours mourning for their parents. They said what they wanted to say and then prayers. They left some flowers such as roses, lilies, lilacs, sunflowers, and other flowers from the flower store at the graves. They also left cards and burned some scented sticks in a teapot for both of the graves.
Tai brought some of his parents' possessions whilst Kari brought a huge metal trashcan. Tai threw in some papers and made a fire. They threw in some stuff like clothes, papers, and things that were valuable to their parents; that way, their parents could receive these things.
The next morning, they ate breakfast ,and then they went to pack most of their clothes in their luggage. They had called their aunt and uncle. They were more than happy to have them in their home. They bought them two tickets to Florida. The plane would leave in three days from Monday. Today was Tuesday and they got another day before they would have to leave their home in Odaiba.
Tai and Kari packed most of their stuff. They decided to leave the furniture and televisions. They packed all of their personal belongings and their digivices. They were mostly packed anyways, so they decided to go to the Digiworld to meet Augumon and Gatomon. Augumon and Gatomon had stayed in the digital world while they were in school.
Augumon and Gatomon had been doing fine. They were enjoying their time in the digital world, but they had missed their friends (the digidestines). Kari told them what had been happening in the real world to her digimon friends. They were both all sad and sorry. Augumon and Gatomon were worried about Kari and Tai. The sadness on the children's faces was evident, but they were so quiet. They didn't really talk or say much.
They however did make one request. If any of the other digidestined asked where they were, Augumon and Gatomon weren't to tell. They also couldn't tell what had happened to them. Augumon and his pal were okay with it. When Gatomon asked Kari to take a walk with her through the woods, Kari obliged. They had their own little chat while Tai and Augumon talked.
" Tai, are you really okay? No, wait, that was a stupid question. You don't have to answer that. Are you going to be okay? Don't you want to tell Sora about this?
" Don't worry about me Augumon. We should worry about Kari. She's eleven years old and now she is parentless. I got to live with mom and dad longer than Kari did. And no, I don't want to tell Sora about this. She has her own life. I shouldn't bother her; it is clear that she doesn't want me around. We all need our own personal space, and now I need mines. Just don't tell Sor and the others okay?"
" Whatever you say Tai. But Tai, Sora really cares about you. She's just busy, but I bet that you're on her mind."
Just as Tai and Augumon finished their conversation, Gatomon and Kari came back.
"Lets go," said Kari, "I think we should go home now. I'm tired."
" All right. Bye Gatomon, bye Augumon. Take care of yourselves. We will be back"
" You to Tai. Remember, you can always talk to me. "
" Sure Agumon."
After Tai and Kari got home, they ordered Chinese take out food. They were eating in their living room whilst the were discussing important topics.
" Tai, what about school? We haven't been there for two days. The principal can report this and it's called truancy."
" Don't worry about it. Since we are leaving tomorrow, I'll go to the school and tell them that we are being transferred to America. We won't tell our anybody else. I think that it is easier to leave without notice. We'll leave at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning."
Then he broke out into a grin. "I think it is going to be seriously fun in Miami don't you? We are starting a new life and in a place that is both tropical and beautiful. We can go swimming everyday and it never snows there. We will meet new people and see new places. I heard that the beaches were awesome and it is always fun there. We or I won't have to wear school uniforms. We can surf and go biking. Lets face it Kari, it is going to be awesome!"
She looked at himand laughed. He was right. Everything he had said was true. Sure, their parents had died, but their parents were happy. Their death had made a scar in their heart, but neither wanted to show it. It was so much easier to pretend that everything was all right. For now it is.
" You're right! While we are in Florida, let's have fun. We will learn about the American culture. It is a good thing that we can speak English already, isn't it?"
For now, they could just pretend everything was all right. They went to their respective bedrooms and tried to sleep. The death of their parents in the same day had left a major scar over their heart. How could they act so calm when they have no more parents? Sure they were truly happy for them, but can they really be happy that their parents left them?
If anybody else looked at this situation, they would of thought that Tai's parents were actually being selfish. Didn't they know what kind of an affect that it would have Tai and Kari's life? Their parents left them alone in the world to be with their aunt and uncle. Tai will have to take over the role of his father and take care of Kari. Kari can't turn to her mom and cry her heart out over any problem. They had both just lost the most important people in their young life.
Their parents had basically left them alone in the world. The parents' role was to take care of their children and nurture them until they were old. But life had cut their lives and had left their children to live in the big, dangerous world. Sure they've faced dangerous missions, but can life really add up to that? The digital world basically has food and shelter that comes for free.
On Earth, you are going to have to work. How are Tai and Kari going to pay for college when the times come? College intuition is not cheap. We'll just have to see how they face life won't we? Especially Tai. He is going to have to do some serious growing.
Tai woke up at 9:00 a.m. He sighed and stretched his arms in bed. He ran his hands through his spiked brown hair. He couldn't believe it. He just couldn't believe it even though he saw it. Both of his parents had died. One by one I'm losing the people I love, he thought. First it was Grandpa, then Grammy, Sora, mom, and dad. I can't lose any more people in my life. It's just too hard to lose someone you love. I'm going to take care of Kari. I will protect her with my life. I can't let anything bad happen to her. I just can't. If I do, I'll die. I'll just die. (sigh) Why can't life ever be easy? Of course, nothing is easy in life.
Tears were trickling down his cheeks from thinking about the people he had lost in life. He didn't wipe away the tears. All he did was lie in bed and think about everything that had happened in his life. It was now 9:30 a.m. He heard footsteps and he assumed it was Kari taking a shower. Last night he had heard his sister cry. While she she had been crying, he had also cried.
His tears were of frustration and sadness. He wasn't going to show that he cried in front of his sister. There had to be a strong one within the brother and sister and he had taken it upon himself to decide it that it was him. There were times when he wanted to cry his heart out, and this was one of those moments.
He wanted so badly for Sora to come and comfort him. He wanted things to be the way they were when they were younger. Life was so easy when you were young. You always got everything you wanted. No responsibility, just fun. Sighing, he got out of bed and took a shower too.
Kari was on the phone all dressed up. She was wearing blue jeans and a big pink sweatshirt and she was wearing white sneaker with pink stripes. When she saw Tai, she got off the phone and told him that the movers were going to come and pick up their stuff. Tai was wearing some loose blue jeans and a big navy blue sweatshirt that had yellow stripes down the side of his arms. His sneakers were white with blue stripes. Tai nodded and took out some sugar cereal and ate it.
After he and Kari ate, they went to get some boxes to pack the remaining stuff in their rooms. Finally, the moment they've been anticipating. The mover had come and took all their boxes in the truck. This was it. There was no turning back now. They were going to leave their home.
As the last box was in the car, Kari looked around the house and went downstairs to the taxicab. Tai looked around once more and kissed his hand and touched the doorframe before going to the taxicab.
"Goodbye."
The plane rideTai looked up from the window and stared up front. Kari looked like she was sleeping. They got different seats; Kari sat up in the front and Tai sat in the back. Tai looked back at the window and stared outside. Outside was truly beautiful; you could see all of the trees and landscapes. He never thought of Earth that way. Well, he never thought about it, but it truly was beautiful.
He admired the scenery, and has a newfound respect for, basically, Mother Nature. Sighing, he let his thoughts consumed him again. Man, I can't believe we are actually leaving Japan. I just left Sora, not that she will probably care. She is way to busy with Matt to even notice me. On the subject of love, what about Kari? Man. I bet that T.K. and Davis will be devastated. Davis is madly in love with Kari, and so is T.K. I can imagine what Kari is feeling.
She must hate leaving T.K. behind. They loved each other since they were seven. But when we get back, they'll be hanging all over each other. They deserve to be together and besides I know that T.K. will take care of my little sister. And if he doesn't, he won't know what hit him. Love is pain, pain is love. Tell me about it.
Only love can get you down. Love is the only reason why I basically hurt. Why does my mind keep going back to Sora? Why can't I get her out of my mind? I need to. She belongs to Matt. I love her and she doesn't love me. But whom am I kidding? How can I ever stop loving? She is like the epitome of perfection. She's beautiful, kind, gorgeous, generous, caring, helpful, funny, motherly, smart, courageous, sporty, etc. ( I can go on, but then I'll bore you.)
Man, this flight is going to be looong. Two day ride. What am I going to do. I've can't even stay in the same spot for less than an hour. They should make this plane bigger and make a toy room in here or something for the special people. Huh. I wonder what our aunt and uncle will look like. At least they aren't mean. I have to convince myself. This is the right thing for Kari and me.
Tai undid his seatbelt and walked around the plane. When the flight attendant asked him if anything was wrong when he always got up, he said that he had a major bladder problem. After he just got bored of walking around and watching the movies on the TV screens, he put on the headphones and listened to music until he fell asleep.
Kari woke up and her thoughts went to T.K. She missed him terribly. She didn't get to say goodbye to him. This was going to be the longest time she would be without him. Life is going to be so boring without T.K. she thought. I won't get to tell him my problems or cheer for him during basketball practice. I won't get to laugh at one of his lame jokes or make fun of Davis with him. Of course I'll miss Davis too. How can I ever forget his antics and his embarrassing riots? He makes life fun sometimes. But I shouldn't be this sad. I'll always get to see them again? Maybe two, four, or six years, but I will see them. No one ever breaks the digidestined up.
Time lapsed: Two days and in Miami, Florida 114 Rodeo Drive.
Tai and Kari stood in front of their immediate family's house. The ranch house was white with one floor. The house was beautiful and through the windows, they could tell that the house was filled with glass figures and wine bottles. It had a big back yard with a couple of benches. The garage door was open, and they saw a man in his fifties building something. Suddenly the man turned around and put on his glasses. He got out a picture of his pocket and looked back at Tai and Kari and back to the picture and back again.
The man finally recognized them and ran over to Kari and Tai. He greeted them with a gigundomundo hug and screamed for his wife to get outside. A lady with gray and brown hair and who was on the chubby side came over and greeted them with a friendly hug as well. Tai and Kari had to take a big breather before talking.
"Hi."
Sorry for the long wait. I had a lot of homework and tests.
