Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.

I don't own the songs Leeca and Les Miserables. This chapter focuses on Kari and Tai. It might take me awhile to update again. If you guys really want a new chapter, just tell me so. I have lots of tests and school stuff to do. It pretty much is sucked up. Um. Thanks to Litanya for the grammar editing thingy. Oh.. do you guys kno DJ Mystik, and if you do.. can you tell me where I can download some of the songs? Thx

"Sigh." Sora was taking a walk down memory lane. She and Tai haven't been talking lately and she was worried about him. He was so reserved and quiet. He didn't talk to her anymore. Not that she blamed him, of course. She's just been busy with Matt and her schoolwork. Matt always had a gig playing with the Teenage Wolves.

I wonder what it would be like to kiss Tai, she thought. After all these years, she still had feeling for him. Would it be different if I had asked Tai out long ago? What would have happened if I had waited for him? Would I be with him right now? "Sigh." If I waited for him, then he would of never asked me out. And now, I don't love him anymore. I don't have those feelings for him anymore. Not anymore. If I don't then why do I keep convincing myself that I don't?

Flashback

Mimi, Joe, Sora, Tai, T.K., Matt, Kari, and Izzy were sitting around a fire with their digimons. Tai and Sora sat next to each other on their sleeping bags with their rookie digimons on their lap. Matt was lying on a tree trunk not talking to anybody. T.K. and Kari were happily chatting away with each other about who- knows- what. The older digidestined had other things in mind. Tai was poking the fire with a stick and was thinking of where to go next. Joe was worried about the safety of his friends and Mimi was worried about her clothes.

Sora was gazing at Tai. At eleven, she felt love for a boy who she befriended her whole life. She admired everything about Tai to the point where he was courageous to his innocent stupidity. She liked the way he took care of her, and how he only reserved a smile to her. She couldn't stop staring at him no matter where they went. Her eyes always had to take a peak at him to see if he was really there. She always had this fear that he was going to be taken away from her, or he was going to leave her for some girl. She had eyes for him and only him. It was inevitable; Sora Takenouchi fell hard for her best friend.

End Flashback

Sora sighed. Since when did things change so much? Was it really right to give my attention to Matt? But look at Tai now. He seems so miserable. Is it really my fault? I thought that once I pay more attention for Matt, then Tai will become jealous and express his love for me. But now I like Matt, even though things have been on the rocks lately.

Sora just couldn't take it anymore. She ran out of her house exasperated. She ran, and ended up at a familiar site, and was hit with nostalgia. She was in a clearing in the middle of the woods. There were leaves everywhere, and she looked up, and there was the tree house. Taichi's dad had built them a tree house so they could play their silly adventurous games of the unknown. This was where they bombarded each other with water balloons and stories.

When they were younger, still in their single digits, Tai and Sora came to this secret spot everyday, after school. This was their spot, and only theirs. Sora looked around and images of memories flashed through her head like a lightening bolt. She could still hear the screams, cries, and laughter of joy, and the crying of a little girl out of sadness in her head. She shook her head and climbed up the ladder to the tree. The house was bigger that the size of a car. It was a bit rusty, and the place was adorned with blankets, pillows, games, beanie chairs, tables, and toys all over the floors, and there were posters of soccer players all over the walls. If this place were cleaned up, it would look brand new and clean.

Sora started to touch the stuff around her, and let her fingers softly glide against the wall. There was a thumping in her heart and a feeling she couldn't decipher, but one feeling was evident, longing. She missed this place so much, and her childhood memories. She had a yearning to go back to the happy memories she had with Tai, and their fun games. She wanted to go back to the carefree days, where it was just Tai and she against the world. Life would just be too weird without Tai around.

Sora still looked around her and she started cleaning up the mess. A few tears leaked then and there, and she just got lost in reminiscing about her past childhood. Lost in her thought, time passed by quickly. Two hours had passed and it was dark outside. Finished with cleaning, Sora decided to go home, but before she did, she gave the tree house a glance.

Walking down the woods to the park on her way home, the night gave a slight chill. The wind was blowing with an eerie whisper, and the full moon was shining behind the clouds that seemed to float away quickly. Sora hugged her extra large sweatshirt to her small frame. The branches were caving in around her and she quickly hastened her steps. Something about tonight just wasn't right thought Sora. The pathway to her house was dark and the rustling of the leaves could be heard. She stepped on some twigs and dry leaves leaving crunches here and there.

After half walking – half running through the spectral night, she came across the park. A bright yellow color was shining on the bench. Squinting her eyes, she could make out the features as a boy with gray- blue eyes. She ran over to the boy she recognized as T.K. with her arms around her chest. He looked like he was in deep thought and seemed as though he didn't mind the ghoulish night.

T.K. was eleven years of age, and he looked as though he grew out of his innocent stage. He was no longer the kid who cried like a baby, and needed a babysitter. He was much more mature and someone who could defend himself. From his cute features to being the ever-popular brother of Matt Ishida, girls were attracted to him. Having girls after him, only one girl was on his mind, Kari.

His long- time friend and partner and his love, he thought that she was a bit reserved. She was avoiding him lately, and she seemed so shut off lately. Sure, between T.K. and Kari, they have their secrets. Well, Kari has her secrets, but it hurt him to know that she won't talk to him. They had always told each other everything. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Sora approaching him. With a tap on the shoulder, he jumped out of fright. With a sigh of relief, he was glad that it was only Sora.

"Hey T.K., what are you doing out at night?" T.K. pondered for a moment before answering.

"I was just thinking about something." Sora looked at him curiously.

"Thinking about something or Kari?" T.K. heaved a dejected sigh and thought if he was really that transparent.

"Yeah, I can't figure out what is wrong with her. She is definitely avoiding me. It's, like, she won't talk to me at all."

I pretended not to notice

And stared far out the small window

The angel's voice spreading in the sky

Was embraced by the wind

"G-d, she makes me so angry. Every time I catch up to her..."

The commotion reflected in your eyes can't hear anything

Only now I murmured "It was a trick from when I was naïve"

Into the sky

"She avoids me. Did I do something wrong? Is somebody threatening her or something?"

Turn, turn... Inside of the time that left me behind I am, now,

les misérables

You who I loved too much are on the other side of the wall

Softly smiling

"I know how you feel. Tai is the same way. He isn't talking to anybody."

Only this feeling that cannot be fulfilled... it's filled into sighs

"I thought that if he ever had a problem, he would go to me. Have time change that much?"

In the rays of sunlight, you were smiling

The puppy sleeping on your knee also looked peaceful...

"Um.. no offense or anything, but haven't you been avoiding Tai too. Maybe that is why he won't come to you?"

A little book was spread in the palm of your hand

And you softly traced the words with a pretty finger

"Do you really think so? Man, I have been deliberately avoiding Tai lately. It's just to weird you know?"

I thought that with that smile, anything could be saved

"I can't look at Tai in the face knowing that I broke his heart. I just can't. I just practically cut myself from him, but I didn't think that my actions would have consequences like this."

Underneath the limited sky, it vanished

The memory of you at that time

Inside of the dream I made, I saw it

That sky was, already...

"Now I have all these feelings bottled up in me, and I don't think that it is safe."

In the transparent wind, though in vain, I held you close

Even now I can't let go of you

As you look back at me

"I just can't stop thinking about him. He is always on my mind. Haha, another guy on my mind besides your brother." She was trying to lighten the mood, but all T.K. was responded with a nod.

Underneath the limited sky

I repeat softly whispered words

Inside of my closed off heart

Even now, you're smiling as you were at that time

"I think that we are both affected with the Kamiya love. That's the power they have over us. They keep us thinking until we'll have painful headaches and heartaches." Not realizing that she just admitted to loving Tai, her eyes widened. Hoping that T.K. didn't hear that, she looked at him and she saw what shocked her. He was just brushing that comment aside from his shoulder and looked like he wasn't affected by the comment. All he said was:

"I figured you still loved Tai. Everyone knew you did besides him. He's just a little clueless and he wanted you to be happy. That is why you are with my brother. I think that Tai should be with you though, everyone does besides Matt." Sora was indignant or anything. She knew what he said was right. She can't believe everyone knew but Tai himself. And the fact that T.K. said it so abruptly and the remark he made, she figured that T.K. wanted Tai and herself to be together.

"Lets go to their house now okay Sora? We are going to storm in there and demand that they tell us what is going on."

Sora and T.K. enthusiastically ran down the dark street to the Kamiya's house. They ran up to the stairs and to the apartment house. A man was walking down the hallway with them too and was surprised by the kid's running. As T.K. was about to knock on the door, it opened. Confused, they peered inside and saw that the place was empty. Shocked, they just stood there. They racked their brains for any explanations as to why the apartment was empty. The man looked at the two, scratched his head, and figured out what was going on.

"From what I heard, the family that lived there moved out and are going to live somewhere in the United States."

And only the pattering of the tears could be heard.

With the voices of children echoing in the twilight

Your smile slowly vanishes away
