The Life of Kari Kamiya

His Coat

Kari decided to walk to school that morning on such a beautiful spring day, wearing her older brother's long blue coat with his goggles tucked away into the coat pocket. It was a perfect day: the sun was warm, the breeze was cool, and the air filled with all the smells of freshly bloomed flowers. The only thing ruining it was the fact that she had to be up so early for school. As she walked along, she found herself passing Sora waiting just outside Matt and TK's apartment complex. The two girls waved at each other and smiled, "Hey Sora!"

"Hi Kari."

"Waiting for Matt?" Kari asked. Sora nodded quietly and blushed. They were officially a couple now. An actual couple. Just thinking about it made Kari's heart race and her face flush. Although they were keeping it quiet so that Sora wouldn't get harassed by the Matt's legion of fangirls. Sora nodded, "He takes forever to do his hair. How about you?"

"Just enjoying the morning," Kari answered. Sora nodded towards her coat, "I see you still wear it."

She nodded and answered, "It's a lot comfier than it looks."

Even though the weather warmed up, it was never too hot to wear. And in winter, it was never too thin. It was like the coat was always comfortable to wear, no matter what conditions she was in. Although it was too big for her; she had to roll up the sleeves to get her hands out.

Although she hadn't told anyone about the pockets yet because they were surprisingly deep. She'd dropped the coat once and witnessed several balls and coins roll out. When she dug deeper in to see how much more was in there, she pulled out a bunch of old books, knives, jars of honey, a tea set, a watch, a cup of coffee that was still warm, a half eaten sandwich that looked like it was just made, and other various things that couldn't possibly fit in the pockets but were still there. For safety, she put it all back out of fear of what else Tai would've kept in there.

Sora frowned, "Is that the only reason you're still wearing it?"

Kari was stunned by the question but understood what Sora was trying to get at. It had been months since they'd last seen him; months since WarGreymon went back to the Digital World to find him. Occasionally WarGreymon would send a message to their D-Terminals to remind them he was still looking and would keep looking for as long as it would take. Until then, the only reminder she had of him were the memories and his coat. His long, blue coat that was always comfortable and had impossibly deep pockets

Kari nodded, "I miss him but I'm not waiting for him."

Sora seemed unconvinced and explained, "I'm just worried, Kari. I haven't forgotten about what happened last time. You were devastated."

"I know. And thanks for worrying about me Sora," Kari said, going to hug the girl who had basically been like an older sister to her. Now that they weren't busy saving the Digital World, they were all free to spend time with each other. They were interrupted as Matt, TK, Yolei, and Cody came downstairs, "Um, did we miss something?"

"Just girl talk," Sora assured her boyfriend. Kari and Yolei giggled happily while Matt ran a hand through his hair anxiously, "I wish you would tell me what that means."

Then he noticed Kari's coat, "You're still wearing that?"

Kari sighed, then giggled when TK slapped the back of his head. Matt realized he'd misstepped and quickly apologized but she found it funny to see TK have to correct him like this. Matt offered a half smile before pointing out that they needed to hurry if they were going to get to school on time. Matt took Sora's hand and the pair walked to the front with the rest of their group following just behind. Kari and Yolei couldn't help but giggle as they saw the young couple just in front of them, wondering how far their relationship had gone at this point. All was well.
