A New Begining

It had been a few years; Kari and T.K soon married... but divorced a few years later. T.K moved back to the Digital World, and occasionally visit his son. Both of them... Kari and T.K seemed fine about the divorce, since they both new that his job was important, and didn't want anything wrong happening in the Digital World. Their son... just 3 years old, laughed along with his father. It was just the both of them in the play ground, near the school, where Kari taught.
"Daddy?" the small boy asked.
"What is it Kai?" T.K asked, looking down at him.
"Do you still love mummy?"
"Of course I do." he replied.
"How come you don't leave with each other anymore?" Kai asked. T.K smiled.
"Because son, some things weren't meant to be."

"Aunt Kari!" young Kelly called. Her aunt turned around and smiled. She waited till her niece was by her side. It was after school, and she was headed home.
"Yes Kelly?" Kari asked.
"Daddy said dinner is good. He say he be there. Mummy too. And me!" Kelly said, cheerfully. Her aunt smiled.
"That's good. We can have a meal, as one big happy family"
"What about Uncle T.K?" Kelly asked.
"He's busy." Kari replied.
"But than we're not one big family"
"We will always be a happy family, Kelly. No matter what happens to someone. They will always be with us." Kari said. They weren't the Digi Destined anymore... a new generation had started. She... Kari never really accepted of their sacrifise.

They all ate quietly. Tai, Sora and Kari, glanced at each other nervously. Kari glaned over at her computer. It was off.
"You miss them don't you." Kai said. Kari smiled at her son.
"Eat up." she murmured quietly. She felt Tai stare at her. She forced herself to smile at him. "I'm fine." Tai knew she was lieing, but kept quiet. Things were different now. They never saw their digimons again...

Gatomon's eyes filled up with tears.
"Will we ever see you again?" she asked. Kari tried to think possitive, but she couldn't.
"I hope so Gatomon." Kari murmured, "One day, when the sky is brightest as ever, the sun shining down, we will see each other..." she wish she could believe her own words.
"I don't wanna say good bye!" Palmon cried, in Mimi's arms.
"Neither do we." Mimi said. T.K stood from the shawdows. He didn't want to be part of this. They knew that'd he'd be able to see them. He didn't want to get into more trouble.
"Please say we'll see you again!" Veemon said. Everyone smiled sadly at each other. They gave their final fare-wells to their dearest friends, before going on board the tram line.
"Good bye!" their digimon called out, running after the tram. Tears in their eyes.
"Be safe!" Yolie shouted.
"Dress warmly!" Sora said.
"Be strong." Matt said.
"Look out for each other!" said Izzy... their voices faded away as they disappeared from the digital world... but this time it was forever.

"Bye!" Kai said. Kari closed the door behind her. She sighed heavily. Kai walked to his room off to bed. Kari smiled, watching her son leave. She walked to her room, and took out a ragged picture from her bed side table. She smiled at it, and hugged it to her chest. Her mother's voice lingered in her head.
'Don't hold on to the past... move on with the future...' She looked out the window. For a moment she thought she saw her...

They all sat in a circle, quietly.
"Will they be able to move on?" Yuri asked.
"I'm sure they will." Chris murmurer. Takeru nodded in agreement.
"They understand now. Kari might not yet, but she'll soon." The Guardians smiled at each other.
"Looks like our job has ended with them." Mark said.
"Yeah. An end for us all." Tim (Guardian of Kindness) agreed.
"Not the end. It's a new begining." Takeru said.

It had been a few years now. Everyone moved on. The days grew dark, and the new generation of Digi Destined did their best to protect the Digital World. Kari stood out on her balcony.
She now understood why things happen as they did. She looked at the torn picture in her hand and smiled. She still was the key. Though her life was in danger again, she knew she wasn't alone... not anymore. She gave the torned picture one last look before letting it go, as it flew in the windy, gray sky.
"Mum?" her son said, from the balcony door. Kari turned around to face her son and smiled.
"Are you alright?" Kai asked, he was now 15. Kari smiled, a bright smile which her son had not seen for ages.
"I'm fine, Kai." Kai joined her at the balcony, as the cold winds flew pass them.
"Are you sure mum?" Kai asked worriedly. Kari smiled at her son, as they both watched the photo drift away...

The ageing man walked down the park. His faded brown coat snugged around him. His blonde hair blew in the wind. He knew it was time. His family was happy once again. He knew that'd he wouldn't be there to help them... watch his son, protect his wife. They'd understand.
He knew it, they always have. No matter how important his family was, he also had to protect the Digital World... especially Tukuru. A torned picture... photo landed on his foot. He picked it up, turned it over and smiled. It was a picture of them... every one with their digimon. He smiled. His wife... Kari was ready to move on. So was he. He pocketed the picture, and waved his arm. A glassy window appeared in front of him and he walked into it. Life woudn't be the same now. He was leaving the people loved him, and who he loved. He took out the picture and smiled. He'll always remember the day they all first met.
'That'll I'll never forget...' He could move on now, that everyone had accepted it. 'It won't be the same...' he thought, 'Without Kari or Kai'
"I'll see them again, I'll promise myself that." he said aloud. 'I'll always cherish the memory of being with them'
And that's exactly what T.K Takaishi became... a memory.
