Fights Between Adults

Yagami Taichi ran as he passed by curious people who would stare at the male. Not long ago had he picked up his cell phone only to answer Mimi who was currently with his sister. He was dazzled by the demand the honey haired female had made. He was told to return home, and that something was going to happen. The brotherly instincts had kicked in, and suddenly his legs were working their way to get to his parent's apartment.

'Damn it,' he cursed inside his head. 'Hikari don't do anything stupid!'

He practically pushed away a couple just to make his way. It was rude of him, but his focus was to get home to his baby sister. He knew that she was currently a mess, and she needed him by his side. After all this years, she still needed her older brother. No matter how much she tried to denied it, Taichi knew it already.

Finally he was inside the apartment building. He pressed the buttons many times that it almost felt like his index finger was going to break in half. Once the elevator doors opened, he stepped inside and almost in a maniac way he pressed the button number to where it would take him to his parent's apartment. It didn't take long before the elevators doors opened, and he dashed to his home.

He pulled out his keys, and opened the door in a sloppy way. He panted as he entered, and kicked his shoes off.

"Hikari?" he desperately cried out. The only person he found was Mimi with Tetsou and …Ami?

He did a double take on the red hair little girl. He questioned Mimi by giving her a look. What in the world was Koushiro's daughter doing here?

"A-Ami…?"

The young child have a bow to the older man. "Hello Yagami-san."

He still wasn't used to the child being so polite. "Mimi, why is…"

The honey haired female interrupted him. "Koushiro's here. He's talking to Hikari right now."

"Kou-" Taichi stopped his sentence, and decided to head towards his sisters room. Right now he needed to focus his attention to his sister. He did not hear Mimi's protest to not go inside. He turned the knob, and he entered the room without an announcement of going in. His whole body stiffened as he stared at the redhead hug his sister.

"T-Taichi…?"

A faint flashback of a brunette and blond hugging passed his mind briefly. Taichi shook his head quickly trying to ignore that vague memory. He simply walked towards his sister and Koushiro. Once doing so he bent down eye level with his sister.

"Hikari, are you…"

He stopped once tears began to roll down her cheeks. Hikari hiccupped, and suddenly she began to hug her brother. Her hug was tighter than usual, that only meant that the Yagami was distraught. Taichi patted his little sister on her head, and glanced at Koushiro. The brunette noticed the redhead merely looking away from him in which Taichi was not pleased about.

"He's running away."

He looked down at his sister. "Who?"

"H-Hikaru…"

Taichi couldn't help, but to exclaim. "What!"

"Catherine! Please open the door…" Takeru pleaded as he was in front of his bedroom door. His wife was currently inside doing who knows what. The blond male gave a glance at his son Taka, who was holding a toy truck on his hand. Taka was eyeing his father as he was questioning why his father was standing in front of the door.

"Dad? What are you doing?" questioned the blond boy, almost a replica of Takeru himself.

Takeru gave his son a smile. He didn't want to worry the fifth grade boy. "Nothing Taka, why don't you go back to your room and try to finish that homework Azumi-sensei gave you?"

A pout was given. "Fiine. I hate math though…"

The eleven year old child left his father in front of the wooden door to go and do some homework. Takeru was thankful that his son was obedient unlike most children. His attention was now back to the wooden door. His lips formed a frown. He would explain everything to Catherine, but his wife didn't want to hear his voice at all! He let out a frustrated sound. "Catherine, please open this door…"

It took a few minutes (to Takeru it felt like hours), before he could finally hear a familiar sound.

Click.

In a heartbeat Takeru quickly opened the door before Catherine would reconsider. "Catherine I-"

A sound of a slap was heard which shocked the blond male. "C-Catherine…?"

Tears were visible on the young French woman's eyes. They rolled down her cheek as she tried to held them back. Catherine sniffled each time she tried her best to not cry in front of her husband. "Y-You lied."

His eyes never left the distressed woman before him.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah…"

"Your mom … she looks really sad. Hikari-san is really worried about what you're doing. Maybe you shouldn't leave her alone. Being alone is very …sad. "

"…Hey, Ami."

"Yes Hikaru-san?"

"D-Do you really believe in the Digital World?"

"Yes. My dad is always talking about it to my grandmother, and my father never lies about the work he's been doing. I really believe in the Digital World."

"…Do you know how to go there?"

"No, but the only person I've known who went there is my…mom."

"…Your mom, how did she … you know get there?"

"…I-I over heard dad say that it was a m-mistake. That she didn't have a digivice -"

"What's a digivice?"

"I-I'm not sure, but Dad has one. It's in his desk where the c-computer is."

"…Hey Ami."

"Yes…?"

"Why don't we try it out?"

"What do you mean Hikaru-san…?"

"Going to the Digital World, to see if it's even real."

"But it's dangerous!"

"Shh! Tetsou can hear you! …Are you sure it's dangerous? Did your dad even say it was? No right? Well then, let's just see if it's real."

Koushiro sighed as he opened the house door. He stepped aside so that his daughter and their guest could enter. His little girl neatly took off her shoes, and ran towards the kitchen where he knew his mother would be preparing their dinner now. Hikaru on the other hand stood there almost clueless at what he was supposed to do. The redhead gave a sigh as he closed the door behind him. This caused for Hikaru to jump a little due to the sound. Koushiro placed one of his hands on the boys shoulders.

"You can leave your stuff here," he said glancing down at the boy who was merely looking down at his feet. "We'll place it in my room later once we finish dinner alright?"

Hikaru nodded, and began to take off his shoes. He then followed Koushiro to the kitchen, and the both of them were greeted by Izumi Yoshie. She gave a welcoming smile to the boy, and asked him to help out the young Izumi Ami. Hikaru obeyed the older womans request. Yoshie's onyx orbs stared at Koushiro's. A worried expression was given to her son.

"Koush-"

"He need's time," spoke Koushiro rudely interrupting his mother. "Hikari and Taichi agreed with his decision."

"Y-Yes, but what happened?" It pained Koushiro to hide things from his parents. He had done so in the past, and the feeling was not welcoming. He decided to tell his mother what had happened.

"Long story short," spoke Koushiro trying to make everything simple. "Hikaru found out who his dad is, and he'll be staying here just for …"

"It's fine," said his mother as she placed a hand on his arm to stop. "I think we both know what he's going through a bit."

A nod came from Koushiro. "Yeah."

The Izumi residence treated Hikaru warmly. Koushiro's father, Masami was surprised to see Hikaru in the apartment. Masami didn't make a big deal out of it, and both Yoshie and Koushiro were glad about it. During dinner time, Yoshie had asked questions to the young Yagami boy. The boy replied as politely and detailed as he could. The Izumi residence noticed that the boy was trying his best not to be rude, and trying to mimic Ami's polite characteristics. Once dinner was over the two children helped Yoshie with cleaning the dishes. The three contently talked amongst each other, and then the older woman sent the two children to Koushiro's room.

Hikaru was following the young girl. He took notice that his stuff he had brought from home was missing. The two children stopped in front of the door. Hikaru was about to ask where his belongings had gone to, but the door had suddenly opened by Ami's father. Koushiro motioned for the two of them to enter. Hikaru noticed his stuff by the side of the door once he entered the room. It seemed that Koushiro had placed them inside not to long ago.

"Daddy you cleaned your room," said Ami amazed by the nearness of the room. "There are no more books on the floor!"

After dinner ended Koushiro had decided to clean his room in order to make space for Hikaru to sleep in. He was obviously going to sleep in the ground, so he needed to provide space for himself. With that decision made Koushiro began to clean his room when the two children were out helping his mother. The father patted his daughter on the head.

"Yeah, I decided it was time for me to clean this room," he said as he glanced at the two children. "I still need to finish cleaning up a few things. Why don't you two stay here while I go out and buy a few cleaning supplies?"

Hikaru and Ami nodded at the adult, and they watched Koushiro leave the room. A few seconds later they heard the front door close mentioning that Koushiro had left the apartment for now.

"So …" began Hikaru looking at the redhead.

The girl had her head hang low. "The digivice is in the drawer. Top right one."

The brunette boy gave a glance at Ami. "If you don't want to …"

"I-I want to see what will happen," she stuttered her sentence. "I want to go to the Digital World…and see if my…"

There was a moment of silence, and Hikaru found it awkward. He grabbed the little girls hand, and they walked towards the computer desk. Ami was the one who found the small blue device that her father owned. She showed the small device to Hikaru, who stared at it in a suspicious manner. He quirked an eyebrow.

"This is a digivice?"

The girl gave him a nod. "Yes, this is the digivice that my dad owns. He showed it to me a year ago, but told me never to take it out of this room."

"Why?" questioned Hikaru as he analyzed the device in Ami's hand. He noticed that the little girl before him shrugged.

"I think he would get mad. I'm not sure."

Hikaru nodded, and then it hit him. "Just how do we go to the Digital World?"

Unsure the girl raised her hand that had the digivice in front of the computer. "M-Maybe like this?"

Hikaru sighed, "No, I don-"

He was cut off by the computer screen as the screen turned green. The two children gasped, and they stepped closer. They gave a glance at each other before carefully watching the computer.

A bright light shone before their eyes.

Mimi gave a sigh as she took a sip of her coffee that Taichi had made for his sister and herself. Currently right now Hikari was sitting in front of her while her brother was sitting at the head table. Little Tetsou was in the living room watching television. Mimi could only hear the sound of the cartoons that Tetsou was watching. Her eyes went to one Yagami to the next. She couldn't really stand the silence, she loved it when people would talk to make noise. Right now she needed that.

"U-Um…"

Mimi stopped glancing at Hikari and Taichi, and just decided to look at her mug of coffee. This was awkward, it would be better if she went back home to her beloved family. "…U-Uh, maybe I should…"

The doorbell rang cutting off the honey haired female. Taichi rose up, and walked to answer the door. Mimi gave a sigh, before taking a sip of her coffee.

"I'm sorry Mimi," whispered the brunette female in front of her. "You must feel really awkward right now."

Mimi gave her a hesitant smile. "N-Not at all, but I think right now you guys need a family discussion which I really shouldn't involve myself in."

Hikari nodded. "Yes, we do need to talk about this. I just hope Hikaru…"

Mimi set the mug down on the table. "Hikari-chan."

Her brown doe eyes glanced up at Mimi. "Y-Yes…?"

"I don't think Hikaru hates you," said Mimi in a sympathetic voice. "I think he's just confused, and needs to sort out his feelings. He'll come back Hikari-chan, I'm sure he'll come back to you. The same happened with my Maiku, he was confused at the divorce. He really wanted his parents to stay together, but … we just couldn't. So I sent him with Daisuke so that he would sort out his feelings there. Daichi was a great friend for him, and I thank Daisuke for helping me in this. But listen Hikari-chan, I'm positive that he'll come back home with you."

Hikari nodded as she stared at the mug. Mimi noticed that the woman before her tried to hold back her tears. "T-Thank you Mimi-san…"

"STOP!"

The two females snapped their heads to the source of the voice that had just yelled. Little Tetsou had stopped paying attention to the cartoon that was showing on television. The little boy, curious as a cat, walked towards the entrance.

"Tetsou!" cried Hikari standing up.

"Tetsou-kun come here," said Mimi suddenly standing up, and walking towards the little boy. She grabbed him in time before he could see what was going on. She hugged the boy closely to her arms. Mimi gave a glance at Hikari who merely nodded. "Tetsou-kun why don't we go to your bedroom right now?"

"But that was my Dad shouting," explained the boy trying to get away from her arms.

"Tetsou, please go with Mimi to you room," explained Hikari to the boy bending down to his eye level. "Please."

"But aunty…!"

The boy was cut off by his father's voice. "Takeru…wait stop! You can't just enter here as if…!"

Hikari and Mimi's eyes widen as they stared at the golden haired male in front of them. Takaishi Takeru was panting heavily, almost as if he had ran a marathon. He took a step forward, but was held back by the brunette male of the house. Blue eyes gave a glare at brown ones. This was not going to be pretty.

"Taichi-san let me go!"

"You can't talk to her right now, she's in no -"

"Takeru…?" whispered Hikari taking a step forward. "T-Takeru what are…" She stopped her tracks as she remembered what Koushiro had told her not long ago.

"I just don't understand how you never told Takeru-san about Hikaru."

Her body trembled as she stared at her best friend for years. Mimi decided to let go of the brunette little boy, and walk towards the brunette female. She placed a hand on Hikari's back, and stared at the woman in worry. "Hikari-chan…"

"Hikari…" said Takeru getting everyone's gaze at him. "We really need to talk."

Taichi gave an irritable sigh. "Takeru I said not -"

"This doesn't concern you Taichi-san!" cried Takeru loudly scaring Tetsou who hid behind Mimi's legs. "This doesn't involve you at all!"

Agitated Taichi's hands formed into a fist. Mimi noticed this, and was about to say something, but Taichi's actions interrupted her. The brunette male had his hands on Takeru's shirt, and he dangerously glared at the blond male that was a few years younger than him. "This does concern me. She's my sister."

Mimi was in tight pinch. She was trying to keep Hikari standing, but all of a sudden she noticed Tetsou's tears roll down his cheeks as he was trying to hold them back. She also wanted to stop the aggression between the two males, but there weren't enough Mimi's around to do that. Finally the honey haired brunette snapped.

"That's enough!" she cried startling everyone in the room. Her eyes narrowed dangerously at the two males. "You two go fight somewhere else, you're scaring Tetsou-kun with your voices! And Takeru leave Hikari-chan alone for right now."

"But…" Takeru tried to protest, but held back his words as he noticed Mimi's eyes narrow dangerously.

"Understood?" she hissed at the blond.

Finally the little boy began to cry, getting the attention from the adults. Taichi immediately let go of Takeru, and went towards his son. Mimi, who was the closest to the boy, hugged the young child, and picked him up. Hikari gave one last glance at the blond before her attention was on her crying nephew.

"Tetsou-kun, I'm sorry…" said Mimi trying to comfort the young boy.

"Tetsou…" said Taichi as he tried to get his son from Mimi's arms.

As the two adults tried to comfort the young child, Hikari decided to leave them alone since they were already taking care of that situation. Once again her eyes were fixed on the blond, who was also staring back at her. She got a little closer to the male blond, and she shook her head.

"Takeru…Hikaru is-"

She was cut off by her supposedly best friend. "Hikari, I know we dated in the past, but I never…"

Another doorbell was heard which interrupted the adults discussion. Hikari decided to open this one, while her brother and Mimi were trying to calm down the little brunette boy. Hikari placed her hand on the knob and turned it. Once opening the door her light brown eyes stared at distressed onyx ones.

"K-Koushiro?" gasped Hikari confused at his presence. The red head male in front of him was panting, trying to catch his breath. She stepped aside to let him in, but he forcefully placed his hands on her shoulders. She felt his hands tremble, and it scared the brunette female.

"A-Ami…"

Her eyes looked up to his onyx ones.

"Ami and Hikaru…" Hikari noticed how hard he tried to speak, and it annoyed her because he had mentioned her son.

"What about Hikaru, Koushiro?"

"…They're inside the Digital World!"

The light haired brunette boy winced as he tried to move his body. It had hurt every time tried to move any muscle of his body. Hikaru was forcing himself to open his eyes, and he did open them. His focus was blurry, but within seconds he could clearly see better. Once again forcing his body to move, he tried his best to force his arms and hand to push up. He was after all laying on the ground with his face touching the grass.

Wait…grass?

Weren't they in Koushiro's room?

With much force he sat up, and looked at the scenery in front of him. His brown eyes widen.

They were in the plains!

"Hn…!"

He glanced towards his left, and hurriedly ran towards Ami's side. "Ami!"

The girl was still unconscious like him a few moments ago. She was holding on to her fathers digivice tightly on one hand. Hikaru frowned as he looked up. Just where in the world were they? He squinted his eyes in the direction he was looking at. There was an insect coming towards them. It looked small from far away, but …

Hikaru's eyes widen.

That was not a small bug.

He deserved it.

He deserved the punch that Taichi had given him when he gave the news to his sister. It was a miracle how Takeru and Mimi had stopped him though. Right now Mimi was holding an ice pack against his cheek. Takeru was sitting next to Tetsou looking at the redhead with sympathy. Hikari and Taichi were currently sitting on the table chairs, waiting for Koushiro to speak.

"How can you be irrespirable Koushiro," hissed Taichi slamming his fist on the table. "Hikaru was -"

Mimi noticed Koushiro figure. The American-Japanese mom couldn't help but worry about her friend. He looked like a total mess.

"Enough brother," said Hikari looking down on her lap. "It's not only Hikaru missing…"

Taichi closed his lips shut. His sister was right, it wasn't only Hikaru who had gone to the Digital World. Koushiro's small little girl had gone as well. How? The politician was not sure.

Takeru rubbed his temples, and gave a sigh. He needed some answers from Hikari, but right now he knew it wasn't the right time. His possible son could be in danger. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see the look a like Taichi squirm, as if the boy had something to say. Takeru raised an eyebrow at the boy. What was his name? Tetsou?

"Tetsou? Are you alright?" questioned Takeru to the boy.

Tetsou's lips formed a frown, and he shook his head. "No."

Takeru glanced at Mimi, who was also staring at Tetsou while she kept the ice pack on Koushiro's cheek. Unsure what to do, Takeru questioned the boy once more.

"What's wrong Tetsou?"

The boy squirmed. "H-Hikaru-nii-chan told me not to tell…"

"Tetsou?" this time Taichi had paid more attention to his son. "What do you mean Hikaru didn't want you to tell? Tell what exactly?"

His son's brown orbs looked as if they were about to start some fireworks. "I-I was spying on Hikaru-nii-chan today. H-Hikaru-nii was asking Ami-chan about the Digital World. Something about a digivice…and a voice Hikaru-nii heard."

"A voice?" questioned Takeru who was next to the boy.

The small brunette boy nodded. "When we went to Kou-san's apartment he heard a voice from the computer he said. I-I don't know…" The boy tearfully looked at his aunty. "I'm sorry aunty…"

Koushiro stood up, startling Mimi who had the ice pack. The red head walked over to Tetsou, and kneeled down to face the boy. "Tetsou…can you please tell me more about this voice."

"Koushiro…" began Mimi walking to her friend. "You can't…"

"It's the same voice!" he cried standing up and facing Mimi. His hands were on her shoulders, and his grip tightened on her. "The same voice that took my wife to the Digital World!"
