You Never Know
Chapter 2
"Aaaahh!!!" echoed a helpless cry throughout the whole island.
"What was that?" Kari wondered outloud. Then another cry came. And another. Kari covered her ears. I don't think I can take this anymore. She looked around and saw Gatomon. A huge, dark figure stood over her. Oh-no. "Gatomon! Watch out!!" Her voice was carried away by the winds. It was too late. Kari started to move towards the white cat, now helplessly lying on the forest floor. Ever step thumped like her heartbeat; even step blurred her vision more. Kari's legs began to give away. Thug thug, thug thug.
Thug! Kari looked around frantically. She was in bed, jolted upright. What was that, just now? I thought Gatomon was... She shook her head. No, no, must have been a dream. We did defeat MaloMyotismon didn't we? She grabbed the pillow she kicked down to the floor and lied down again. Her face was patterned with sweat. What a weird and scary dream...

Tai continually kicked his soccer ball against the wall. "Why does she seem so preoccupied? She doesn't look so well too..."
"Err, Tai? Are you okay?" Matt questioned as he jogged up beside him. "Tai?"
"Huh? Oh, hi Matt. I was just thinking of something..."
"Something?" They stared at the soccer ball continuously bouncing off the wall.
"Yea, Kari. She woke up this morning and didn't look good, although she never said anything."
"Yo...same with TK."
Tai and Matt looked up from the soccer ball at each other. This doesn't sound too good.

In New York, Mimi was busy chatting on msn when Sora signed in, which was rare.
MiMi says: hii
Sora-chan says: hi Mimi sup?
MiMi says: nm u?
Sora-chan says: same
Sora-chan says: I'm bored...
MiMi says: Anything new happening?
Sora-chan says: noo that's why I'm signed in.
MiMi says: Ohh...
MiMi says: ur boring! =) jks
Sora-chan says: uhuh =D
---------Ten minutes later----------
Sora-chan says: I just got a call from Tai! He says that Kari got this 'thing' on her and she doesn't feel so well.
MiMi says: k
Sora-chan says: byeMiMi says: ja ne
Mimi watched Sora sign off. I wonder what's going on. Mimi thought. Sometimes I just wish I'm back in Japan. She glanced over to her bedside table. On top of it stood the photo of everyone, which was taken six years ago, when they were nine. It was such a memorable year and I had thought summer camp wasn't going to be fun. Well, it was sort of fun, but in an unexpected way. Mimi smiled. Thinking about the past again? You know, I wouldn't really mind to have another adventure, as long as there isn't so much running...
----------------------
Ding-dong! Tai ran to the door. "Oh, hi Sora, come in."
"Where's Kari?"
"She's in her room. Let me hang your coat." Sora takes off her knee-long, fuzzy, beige coat and hands it to Tai.
"Arigato." She proceeds to Kari's room with Tai behind her. Sora quietly knocks on her door. "Kari? May I come in?" They hear some shuffling sounds.
"Sure, come in." Sora opens the creaky door and sees Kari lying on her desk, head faced down. Tai decided it was best if he stayed outside of the conversation.
"Hi Sora-san. Come sit." Kari gestured to the nearby chair. Sora sits on the white stool. She looks at Kari. Blink blink. She looks over her again. She's wearing a light pink t-shirt with white shorts. Isn't she cold? Outside is like zero degrees with the wind blowing. And the house isn't really warm either, since this coldness was so sudden.
"Do you have a fever?"
"Huh? No, why?"
"Then, are you hot?"
"Not really..." Kari looks at Sora weirdly.
"Because...." She looks at the window and back at Kari. Kari follows her glaze.
"Ohh! I-I just noticed...how cold my hands were..." Kari looked down at her small hands. "Oh hey! I'm okay, really." She smiles.
At least she can still smile. Sora thought. But then again, it doesn't have to be real. Kari pulls a red sweater over her head. "Kari..." Sora started.
"Hai?" Kari snaps back to reality. I'm getting everyone worried.
"If there's anything wrong you can always tell me. That's what an oneesan does."
"Thanks, Sora-san. But I'm okay. Really, I was just thinking about some things..."
Sigh. Seems like she's not ready to tell me what happened. "Well, call me whenever you need to talk to someone, okay?"
"Yup." Sounds like forced enthusiasm. Kari thought. "Umm, you want to stay over for dinner?"
"Oh, okay, thanks."
"No problem."
Tai suddenly opens the door. "Did I hear someone staying for dinner?" He asked, eyebrows raised.
"Yeah. And next time knock-on-the-door-before-you-come-in." Kari stuck her tongue out playfully.
"Oh, okay. I forgot." Tai gave a sheepish grin.
"Is there something wrong with me staying over for dinner?" Sora asked suddenly.
"Ehehe, no, it's just that..."
"Just what?" Sora inquired.
"Just that..." Tai gave Kari the evil eye. Does she have some cunning plan or something? She saw my email 'accidentally' and now she thinks I have this 'thing' (he does!! ) for Sora and she uses every chance she gets and pounces on me!!
"Tai?"
"Ehehe..."
Sora was going to hit him playfully on the head when something caught her eye. On Kari's desk under some papers was a picture of TK.
Ahahah! Hope that wasn't so bad. You can flame me all you want. Xx Anyways, R&R please!! I'm so excited I'm finally done! Dances around
