It was awkward for Taichi to bring back a happy go lucky Tetsou back home to a very silent apartment. Of course his son was naïve to the current atmosphere, he had let his son sing 'The Wheels on the Bus' however he silenced his child by giving him a chocolate candy from the jar in the kitchen. Not a good idea to shut up a kid, but he could have sworn he had heard crying from a certain someone's room, and he needed silence for it. Truthfully he was afraid to open the door if he had heard someone cry in that room, but as an older brother, he needed to make sure that his family was alright. Just as he was about to walk towards a certain bedroom door, his kid pulled on his leg.

"Daddy! Can I have another one?!" cried Tetsou enthusiastically as he pointed at the jar that was on the table.

Taichi nodded, and his son had left to get more delicious chocolate candy. Finally having distracted his son, he walked over to the door and knocked.

"Hey…Hikari?"

There was no answer, so he knocked again.

"Hikari are you there?"

He noticed the knob turning, so he waited for the door to open. What made his face frown was the sight he saw on his sisters face. He was met with puffy red eyes, a pink nose, and dry tears on her cheeks. Placing a supporting hand on her shoulder, he looked back at Tetsou, who was probably getting his third candy of chocolate by now.

"Tetsou go watch some television," he said quickly to his son. Tetsou snapped back his hand, and obeyed his father.

Taichi pushed Hikari back into the door, and left the door open slightly. He made his sister sit down on her bed, as he rubbed her back.

"Hikari…"

Hikari nodded, understanding that her brother needed some explanations. Taking a small deep breath, she began to speak. "Hikaru…Well…"

Her older brother rubbed her back as she spoke. Hikari took another breath trying to calm herself down. "I was grading homework on the kitchen table, and well I wasn't paying much attention to Hikaru's needs before, so I didn't notice that he was looking around in my room, and …"

She stopped, feeling the urge to cry out loud. Taichi just continued to rub his sisters back, until she calmed down. "Onii-san…"

He pulled his sister into a hug. He let her tears wet his shirt, he seriously didn't care if he had to wash it again. He tighten the hug, as she continued to speak.

"I don't know what to do…"

Koushiro rubbed his temples as he stopped typing on his computer. He cautiously kept glancing at his clock that would tell him the time to eat his lunch or have a snack. The redhead adult sighed, and his hands ran through his hair. Onyx eyes stared at the ceiling for a very long time.

"Digital World's data is all screwed up…" he muttered, rubbing his eyes. He needed rest, but he had to give the documents to Takenouchi by today at the office. His fingers ran through his head once more. "Just what is causing all of this…"

"Koushiro-han…!"

His attention went back to his computer. He grabbed his mouse, and took a glance at the taskbar. A programs was blinking orange. Clicking on it, the screen showed a familiar creature he knew so well.

"Tentomon…"

"Koushiro-han! Both Gomamon and I found something that you might find very interesting!"

A smile tugged his lips, his digimon was just as excited as he was. "Oh? Do send it please."

"It'll take a day to send, so please tell Sora-san's father to wait a few days."

Koushiro nodded. "Okay. Hey Tentomon…"

"Yes Koushiro-han?"

"There's still no sign of…"

"I'm sorry Koushiro-han…I've asked Biyomon, Hawkmon, and Patamon to take a look though."

Even if his digimon looked like a bug, and he couldn't very well facially express his feelings. Koushiro knew that his digimon had given him an apologetic soft smile. Koushiro smiled, he really had a great friend to count on, even if he was not human.

"Thanks Tentomon."

"No problem! I better go though, Gomamon thinks he's found something."

"Okay," with that the screen had gone black, leaving Koushiro stare at the black screen. He rubbed his eyes once again, then took a glance back at the clock. He sighed once again. Today was tiring, and he really needed the rest. Perhaps he should call Takenouchi, and tell him that he couldn't make it today. He was just so tired, he also had to visit a certain someone today too.

"Koushiro! Lunch is ready!"

Lunch was ready.

Goodie.

He really needed to eat something, before going out today.

"Whose that man that you wanted to know about?"

"…"

"Hikaru-san?"

"You heard your dad…"

"…?"

"He was a friend to your dad, and the best friend to my mom…"

"Oh…why do you want to know about him?"

"…because he could be important to me…"

"Eh…? What do you mean, Hikaru-san?"

"…because he's my dad…"

It had taken Mimi fifteen minutes to run to the Yagami's apartment with heels. Yes, she was still fashionable even when she ran throughout the island of Odaiba. Finally stopping at the apartment building, she look side to side to check out if there was an elevator. There was no way, she was going to run up the stairs.

Finally seeing the metallic sliding doors, she pressed the button to bring the elevator down. She didn't have to wait that much, since an elderly Japanese citizen had gotten off on the main floor. Entering the elevator, she pressed the number of the floor that the Yagami's lived on. She impatiently waited, and finally the doors were closed. She felt the elevator going up, and she reached her stop in seconds. Running out of the elevator she stopped right in front of the Yagami's door.

The pressed the button that was on the side, and this time she patiently waited for someone to open up. To her patience someone did open, little Tetsou, who was tipping on his toes had open the door. It was adorable, but she hold back the chuckle.

"Oh! It's you!" said a smiling Tetsou, he looked to her side, but didn't find the person he truly wanted to see or perhaps expecting. "I don't think today is tomorrow…"

The boy was adorable to Mimi's eyes. She bent down to his height. "Tetsou-kun, is your daddy home?"

"Yeah! He's with aunty inside her room, come!" he offered his hand to her, and she took it.

Once inside Mimi had slipped out of her shoes, and was about to close the door, but Taichi's adorable son was pulling on her hand.

"The door closes by itself silly!" said the young child giving a cheeky grin.

"Oh yeah…" she muttered, looking back at the door that had shut itself. She had forgotten that Japanese doors had that thing on the top to automatically shut the door. Still being dragged, she stopped once the little boy stopped and pointed at the door.

"Aunty's room is there."

"Thank you Tetsou-kun."

"You're welcome! I'mma go now, my favorite show is on!"

Mimi giggled and ruffled his messy hair. "You go do that."

She watched the little boy run to the couch that really wasn't far away. And her head turned back as she noticed the door had opened by none other than Taichi. He gave her a soft smile and stepped away to let her in. Mimi did so, a bit confused on why he looked so … depressed. Being Mimi, she couldn't let this go.

"Taichi-san, why do you look like…"

She was interrupted by the male Yagami. "Hikari needs someone right now, I … need to look for someone."

With that he looked back at the single bed that someone was currently resting. Mimi carefully watched where his sight was leading to, and a frown appeared on her lips. She was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Taichi. His hand was gripping her arm quite forcefully, she had to flinch by the touch. He had let go once he notice he had harmed her.

"Hey, don't … pressure her in giving answers. Let her just … talk."

Mimi nodded while rubbing her arm. She swore she would yell at him later if he had left a bruise. Taichi left the room, closing the door behind him. That left Mimi with Hikari who looked quite …distant.

Walking towards her bed, and then sitting next to her, Mimi wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Hikari-chan. Hi."

"I'm sorry Mimi-san…I told Onii-san to dial Miyako's phone number, but I guess out of nervousness he dialed yours…"

"I guess apparently he's clumsy now."

A soft giggle. "Yeah…"

Mimi grabbed the younger woman's hand with her free one. "Do you want to talk about it?"

There was a small silence, the only sound that could be heard was the television noise that would say 'Pikachu' or 'Gotta catch them all!', and Tetsou's cheerful cheering. Hikari tighten the grip on Mimi's hand that was on hers.

'Okay, Yagami's…seriously … stop hurting me!' thought Mimi as she winced from the tight grip.

"I was never a good mother to begin with…you see … I'm an solo mom, I can't seem to do the father role right at all…" began Hikari, trembling slightly. "I tried my best to play sports with him, but I mean … I seriously can't kick the soccer ball right. I never could have really…but even then Hikaru never asked about his father…"

Mimi had to make a mental note that Hikari had a son. A son that she didn't know about. It was surprising news, but not shocking that she would almost faint. All her friends were married and had kids, she had expected Hikari to also be married and have a kid. Seeing the single bed, Mimi knew she wasn't married. No married woman would sleep with her husband on a single bed.

"I don't know what to do Mimi-san…" continued Hikari looking down at her lap. "I don't know what to tell Hikaru…"

Mimi bit her bottom lip. She truthfully didn't know what to do in situations like these. She was just a person to comfort other people, but with advise…well she was sometimes bad with advice.

Now in all her life, Mimi had never seen Hikari so … distant. And she had never heard her chuckle darkly.

"The best part of it all…"

Hikari stopped, but Mimi leaned in to hear her words.

"…is that his own father doesn't know anything about him."

Koushiro thanked his mother for the lunch that she had made for him a couple of hours ago. He had thanked his daughter for making him a batch of cookies for him to snack on later. He had also thanked the young guest for helping his daughter make those batch of cookies.

Slipping on a dark green jacket, he looked back at his mother, who was giving her granddaughter a bag filled with extra cookies. He smiled and turned around, meeting a young figure standing on the door way. He had his shoes on that meant that the boy was ready to go.

"Now be polite and say it's a gift from all of us okay? Also that Hikaru-kun helped out."

Ami nodded as her grandmother gave her simple orders to her. "I will. I promise."

Yoshie patter her granddaughters head, and helped her slip on a pink coat. "Good."

Koushiro turned to a small table, and grabbed his car keys. He then faced the two young kids. "Ready to go?"

The two elementary school kids nodded at the older man, thus they headed outside of the apartment.

"What are you going to do when you meet him?"

"…I'm not sure."

"Were you teased because you didn't have a dad back then?"

"…Kinda."

"I don't have a mom, so a lot of my classmates tease me for it. My dad would usually go to those 'parents must come to school' days. He's the only dad that goes actually, sometimes my grandmother goes instead, but I like it when my dad goes though."

"Your mom…she's…"

"In the Digital World."

"Yeah…where exactly is that…?"

"It's a world inside the computer."

"…y-you actually believe that? What if your mom just …left and doesn't want to come back?"

"My dad told me it was real, so did grandmother so I do believe it. Anyway, I still have my dad. I…I don't know much about my mom, but I know I still have my dad who loves me very much. Just like how you have your mom who loves you very much too!"

"Yeah…I bet she does…"

"Hikaru-san…"

"Yeah…?"

"You're covered in flour now…"

"Eh…!?"

"Taka go clean up your room, it's a mess!" ordered a tall blonde beauty as she crossed her arms and gave a small glare at her son.

The blond boy stood up from the living room and went straight to his room. The woman shook her head and sighed. The boy was just like his father.

"Catherine, you don't have to be … tough on him," said her husband as he took a seat on the nearest chair.

"Takeru impossible!" the blond woman, Catherine, replied in her native tongue. "Votre tête est-elle folle?"

Her husband chuckled. "You're cute when you speak French."

"Takeru!"

"And when you're mad."

The full French wife huffed, and crossed her arms. Her husband was just impossible to deal with sometimes!

The two adults snapped their heads as they heard the bell ring. They looked at each other, and frowned. No one had told them that they would be visiting them. Perhaps it was just the neighbor looking for their cat again.

"I'll get it…" muttered Catherine as she waltzed to the front door.

The male chuckled as he notice his wife become a silly teenager once again. Whenever she waltz meant she was happy. Sure she would be upset at the guest, who hadn't called before hand, but she just loved company. Takeru opened the newspaper and began to read an article that had caught his eyes.

"Oh my…!"

His head snapped up once again. Crystal blue eyes were trying to search for the figure that his wife was currently blocking. Who had come…?

"It's you!"

--

Votre tête est-elle folle - is your head crazy?

I leave you at that. Don't kill me. XD; Erm…sorry about not being able to say 'are you out of your mind?' in French. I totally forgot how to say it. It's probably in one of my French binders…somewhere…over the rainbow~ Btw; Sorry for the late update, this was supposed to be posted on Tuesday or something like that. Been ubber busy these days. So, sorry. =\
