Promises Are Meant To Be Kept

Second Epilogue

A/N: Hello again, people! If you read the title, you would know that this is the second epilogue. I hope you guys have enjoyed my story, and I would like to thank you all for your reviews. Not such a long thing, but 'whatever happens, happens...I guess.' Because of all the positive feedback, I am very proud of my story, and I am really hoping that my next Takari will be just as good. I never expected such a difference in review numbers. Will Our Love Last? - 20 reviews, Promises Are meant To Be Kept - 70+ reviews. Me - -jaw drop- ...Anyway, as said in last chapter, I will be writing a Naruto fic (hopefully) at the same time as my next Takari...but so far, it's taking a lot of planning. Enough of this, to the epilogue! -marches-

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. Unless it's in my dream. If it's my dream, I rule the world. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA -hackcoughbleh- -ahem- AHAHAHA!

Takeru POV

A lot has happened since the incident ten years ago. My kids have grown up, and judging by the reactions they show every time we joke about their love lives, Hikari and I would bet a million dollars that they were in love. Time moves by so quickly, and new love blossoms faster than a flower. Our children were growing up, and there was nothing we could do about it. All we can do is watch them. I wonder if it's time... Hiroshi seems to be over sensitive every time we mess around with him...I'll leave Hikari to worry about Tori. After all, mothers can read their daughters a lot better.

"Takeru?"

"Hm?" I turned around and saw my wife peeking out her head from the room. The room where we kept what was most precious to us. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked her.

"Yeah...we need to talk," she said. "It seems like the kids have finally grown up. I can tell; they're falling in love."

"I think so, too." I agreed. "Do you think it's about time to give those two things to them?"

"I hope so. I just don't want them to make the wrong choices." she worriedly said. "Anyway, we better grab the items. It's now or never, Takeru."

"Don't worry. I'm sure that they'll think before they do anything." I said as I grabbed what I would give to my son. Hikari grabbed her stuff as well and headed to the living room. She and I walked side by side, hiding our gifts.

"...Tori-chan? Hiroshi? We need a minute with you." Hikari said.

"Awww, but mom, it was getting to the good part!" whined Hiroshi as he turned off the T.V.

"No buts. We need to discuss something important." I told him.

"Is it about school?" asked Tori.

"No...It's about...love." Hikari slowly said.

"WHAT?" the two cried, obviously shocked.

"Oh come on!" I said, "It's sooo obvious you guys love someone right now."

"N-no I don't!" yelled Tori, blushing furiously as she turned her head away.

"W-why would I like someone anyway?" yelled my son as he stared at the floor.

"You guys are blushing. That just proves it even more," I smirked. "Alright, get up. Like she said, we came to talk, not to embarrass."

"Tori, do you know what this is?" Hikari asked, pulling out a white hat.

"A fishing hat?" asked a dumbfounded Tori. "What does that have to do with love?"

"It's the hat I gave your father when we were little kids. It was pretty much the item that kept your father and I together."

"Wow...amazing! All because of a hat?" she asked.

"Not just a hat," I smiled. "This helped, too." I said, revealing an old, but still working, digital camera. "This is what I gave to your mom when she gave me the hat. To us, these two items are like promises. Now we're handing them down to you."

"What are we supposed to do with them?" asked Hiroshi with a questioning look on his face.

"Baka, you're supposed to give it to the person you love." replied Tori, who obviously understood the purpose of the items.

"O-oh. I knew that."

"Anyway, don't make any mistake who you give this to. Make sure you know you love them. Be careful." warned Hikari.

"Try to find the one that you want to stay with forever. Just like how your mom and I have each other." I said, pulling Hikari closer to me. "I guess you guys can go now."

"Okay..." they replied, walking to their separate rooms.

"Love keeps going, doesn't it, Takeru?" my wife asked me.

"It always will. Through each and every person, no matter what." I said, leaning down to kiss the soft lips of my one and only true love.

Hikari POV

I was at home cooking dinner when my kids came back from school. Since the day Takeru and I had given our 'gifts' to them, they've been carrying them around. Hiroshi kept the camera in his pocket, and Tori wore the hat. But today I noticed something. She wasn't wearing the hat. She had a pair of goggles around her neck.

"Tori...what happened to the hat?" I asked, looking at the goggles.

"Oh the hat? I gave it my crush. He gave me these goggles in return!" she smiled. "He and I are going out now!"

"But goggles?"

"Yeah! What else would Hoshi give me?"

"...Hoshi?" I asked dumfounded. She's in love with Daisuke's son? Oh my god! "A-and he said that he loves you, too?"

"Yep! I'm really happy. But Hiroshi told me that his crush was going out with someone else, so he's gonna search for someone else." she said sadly.

"Oh...I see." I said quietly. "Maybe I should-"

"Don't mom. He doesn't wanna talk about it."

"Ah...lonely love problems. He's just like his father." I smiled. "Someday, he'll find his soul mate. He just needs to believe." I said, looking at his room. Never stop believing, and I'm sure your life will be happy, my son. As for Tori, I'm sure her and Hoshi will get along just fine.
