The Life of Kari Kamiya

Sisters

The digidestined went to the shrine for the New Year's Festival the next morning. They were all tired after the night they'd just had and were barely awake. Still, they decided it would be nice to just relax after the year they'd had, hoping for a bette or year than the one they'd just had. They'd all come with their parents too, hoping to blend in with the large crowds coming for the celebration.

Kari looked around the crowded shrine and immediately spotted Davis and his family. He was animatedly talking to Ken who seemed a little annoyed. More than that, she noticed that Ken was standing next to Yolei who looked just as annoyed that Davis wouldnt stop talking to them. But one other person stood out - Davis's older sister Jun.

She was a short distance away from her family, her arms folded and her gaze cast downward away from the rest. She hadn't seen her since Christmas and was left to wonder how she was doing since her brother came back. It probably wasn't going to help that she was wearing Tai's coat still - and she contemplated taking it off before going to say hi.

"Hey, Jun," she greeted the older girl. She looked up but her gaze stopped at Kari's coat. Tai's coat. When she finally looked her in the face, she said, "Hey...um, Kari right?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "I saw you were by yourself and thought I'd say hi."

Jin's gaze went back to her coat, and she began fiddling with the pendant hanging from her neck, "Is...is that his coat?"

"Yeah, it is," Kari answered, guiltily realizing what must be going through Jun's mind at that exact moment. She and Taichi had been on a date when all of this happened - she had seen Taichi surrender himself to awaken her brother. And she could see Jun averting her gaze to avoid seeing the coat. She had to change the subject quickly. But nothing came to mind. Before she knew it, Jun was asking her, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah anything, what's up," Kari said enthusiastically, glad that she was changing the subject for her. In truth, she wasn't sure how to address Jun right now. Then again, the expression on her face showed that she was just as troubled - she wanted to ask her question. And eventually, she seemed to summon the courage to start, "I don't remember a lot about...Tamer from before. I remember something about him being your brother and that he was looking for you."

"Yeah, that's about right," Kari admitted sheepishly, not wanting to correct her on some things. Then Jun asked, "Does it ever get easier? Him not being around I mean. I...it's only been a couple of days so I don't expect to get over it right away. But I...I just can't stop thinking about him."

She looked like she wanted to cry but was trying her hardest not to. Kari knew exactly what she was talking about and answered, "No. It never did at first. You remember when we first met? I saw Davis and my first thought was that he looked like Tai. But he wasn't. He was...he's gone now. And I don't think he's coming back."

"Yeah, Davis filled me in," Jun answered grimly, "Something about how he died but digimon don't really die so he'l probably come back and I won't recognize him. I think that's what hurts the most - is that I can never see him again."

Kari knew those feelings, and moved to hug the older girl - she'd wanted nothing more than to see her brother again, for so long. And now she was sure she wouldn't even recognize him if he did appear. Jun let out a small sob as her composure finally broke for the first time in a while. However, she quickly pushed Kari away and began wiping at her eyes, "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to be a bother."

"It's fine, Jun," Kari nodded, "I get it. I really do."

As she observed the older girl, she noted a necklace hanging around her neck - a delicate chain that connected to a heart shaped locket. Jun had been fondling it with one hand for some time, brushing it with her fingers carefully as she kept her gaze downward. It didn't take much to put two and two together, "Was that a gift from Taichi?"

"Tamer said it was from him," Jun replied, "He said that Taichi wanted to give it to me. Before...all this. He also said...that even though Taichi wasn't real, his feelings were. And..."

She paused again, her voice starting to waver as her thoughts went back to the fake personality. Kari looked down at her own coat, though. His coat. He'd given gifts away just before he was supposed to carry on. But why though? Was it a farewell gift because he knew the end was coming? Then it occurred to her that without him around, there were no Ancients left to the Digital World. At least, not one who wanted to.

"Anyway. You've probably noticed that Davis likes you, if he hasn't already blurted it out already," Jun said, trying to change the subject. Kari felt like she was bad at this. She had come over to help Jun feel better but it seemed like all she'd done was have Jun cry. Still, Kari had to admit, "Yeah, he admitted everything in the Digital World."

"Was he a doofus about it like he usually is?" Jun smirked, finally smiling properly for the first time. Kari shook his head, "No...he was real sincere about it. He wanted to talk about it because...he knew that I knew he liked me. But he wanted me to know...something else."

She paused, unsure of how to explain that a lot of her friendship with Davis had been because she could only see him as a brother surrogate. It seemed silly now to have to address it that way. Because he wasn't. But she had been so desperate to get him back that she had Davis filling in his place for her. And that wasn't fair to him.

Jun smiled, "Yeah, he's a doofus. But he's a smart doofus. He's always noticed things other couldn't. And he always has to bring it up. That kid can't leave well enough alone."

They both laughed about it, but Kari added, "Yeah, but we would've lost if he hadn't been so nosy. If it wasn't for him...we'd still all be trapped."

Jun sighed, "What's wrong with us?"

"Huh?" Kari turned her head.

"It's a new year and all we've done is talk about boys. What's up with that?" Jun asked, offering Kari a hand, "Come on. How about we go get some tea from the shop? We can have a nice chat."

Kari thought about the invitation for a moment. She'd never really spoken to Jun or gotten to know her. Now seemed like a good time to change that. Kari nodded, taking Jun's hand and following Jun to the nearby tea stand.
