Hi guys! Thanx 4 the reviews, sorry I haven't posted in a while. Anyway, thanks to those who did review! I think next chappie I'll do a list of those who did, it'd be so much easier! Here's the next chapter of 'She will be Loved', which I might add is one of the greatest love songs out there! Maroon 5 rox! Lol, I don't own this song, or Digimon, unfortunately. Any flames will be used to light the candles on my 11 month early 15th b-day cake!

Mrs. Ishida presents...

Tai's POV

"Kari, come back! Kari!" I yelled after her, but it had no effect. She just kept on running. I felt like such a jerk, but who knows what would've happened to her if she went! She could've been drugged, she could've gotten drunk, she could've gotten raped, any number of things! God, why didn't she get it?!

I decided to wait until she got back home before I left for the party. 2 hours passed, and I was starting to get worried.

'Be reasonable.. she probably went to a friend's for the night or something... yeah, that's it!' I thought, and jumped for the phone.

I dialed Yolei's number.

"Hello? Inoue residence" a familiar voice said.

"Yolei? This is Tai... is Kari there?" I asked, trying my best to keep calm.

"Sorry Tai.. she's not here... I haven't seen her for about a week,"

"Oh, O.K.... thanks though," I said, disappointed.

'Calm down... try someone else,' I thought.

"Hi, this is Sora," Sora said. I didn't think she'd be over there since Sora herself was going, and my girlfriend would never take her to the party after I said no.

"Hi Sora, ummm... is Kari there?" I asked hopefully.

"Oh hey Tai! No, she's not here... shouldn't she be over there?" Sora asked, with a hint of worry herself.

"No... she bolted out the door after we got into an argument. She wanted to go to the party, but I didn't want her to. I mean, this is a college party, Sora! Don't you think it's just a bit too dangerous?"

"Tai, I don't want to get involved, and I agree with you, but you've got to stop crowding her. She needs some space, and she is 18... you want me to look for her?" Typical Sora... the motherly 'watch everybody's back' type.

"No, that's O.K... I'll just calls some other people... she's probably with someone else anyway... see ya later, Sora,"

"'Kay... love you," she replied, obviously almost as worried as I was.

"Love you too," I mumbled and hung up the phone.

'Who else?' I thought to myself as I flipped through her address book.

"Hello, this is the Takaishi residence, T.K speaking" I wanted to pulverize the little twerp for breaking my sister's heart, but she might've went over there anyway.

He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

"Hi... is Kari there?" I asked, a little colder than I meant.

"No... she's not, Tai... why?" he asked suspiciously.

"No reason... at all... later," I said and quickly hung up the phone. Whew, got that over with. Next number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Cody?" I asked.

"Yeah.. Tai, what's up?"

"Nothing.. hey listen, is Kari over there?"

"No, but if I see her I'll call you..." he said, also a little suspiciously. The same went for the next numbers I called. Mimi was still in America and Kari wouldn't have gone or been able to go unless she hijacked a plane. Izzy was gone, Joe hadn't seen her for weeks, Davis got all freaked, and Ken was on vacation in Mexico. The last number was written in pink ink, and was hardly readable. It was my best buddy Matt's number, and the last I in Ishida was dotted with a little heart. I seriously doubted she'd be over there. After all, he was related to T.K, he was my best friend, and was 3 years older. But it was worth a shot.

Kari POV

I didn't stop running until it started raining and my chest was about to explode. I looked at my surroundings, and blushed. I had run right to Matt's apartment. Great. Just great.

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door

Matt has always intrigued me. He seemed like a distant, moody person underneath that messy blonde hair and those deep blue eyes, but I actually knew the real guy. Ever since, well, ever, I've always had a huge crush on him, but I knew I couldn't have him. He was older and he was my older brother's best friend. So instead, I went for his likeness: T.K. I had loved T.K., but ever since I first met him years ago before I first met Gatomon, I had something for Matt. Then when I had to wait with him for Tai to return when the Digimon were invading the city, I was completely in love.

When I heard from Tai that Sora had asked him out back when I was 11 at that concert, I was crushed. I pretended to be sorry for Tai, and I was because he was in love with Sora, but secretly I was absolutely crushed. How could Sora, of all people, the girl who was like my older sister and was always there for me, the girl with the freaking Crest of Love for god's sake, do this to me? Do this to Tai? When they broke it off a year later and Sora went to Tai, I was so much happier. Then T.K. asked me out when I was 14. It was fun for a while, but I was glad he broke up with me tonight. I must have subconciously taken myself here, but I was so embarrased. I mean, I'm a dopey 18 year old girl lovestruck on a hot blonde- a really hot, built rockstar rebel blonde, mind you- who's my brother's best friend, and had been since I was 8! How pathetic is that?

So, did'ja like the new chapter? Kari seems to be in luv, but is Matt? What will he do? Will Tai have a heart attack at age 21? Stick around! Please review, the little button is so cute, it needs some attention!
