Questions and Answers

"Moooom!" cried out a girl with dark navy blue locks. "Haru is being annoying!"

"Am not! Katsumi is being a liar again mom!"

"Shut up Haru!"

"No you shut up!"

Ichijouji Miyako gave an irritated sigh before setting down her youngest son, Natsu, on the couch. She placed a small blanket on top of her sleeping baby. She had just put the baby to sleep, but her other children were going to wake her baby up! She was not going to have that. She placed her hands on her hips, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.

"You two be quiet!" she hissed at her children. Katsumi, the girl who looked a lot like her mother, had quickly shut up unlike Haru, her younger brother, who was slow at obeying their mother. "You two need to understand that Natsu needs his sleep. Now I don't want you two to wake him up understood?"

The children gave her a nod. "Yes Mom."

Proudly she crossed her arms. "Good, now Katsumi go to your room and start doing that science project. Oh and do not give me that look, your teacher announced every parent about the science fair. As for you young man, you're going to help me set up the table to make dinner got it?"

Another nod.

"Good, now let's go Haru."

Katsumi went to her room, and closed the door. Seeing that Miyako grabbed Haru's hand, and dragged him to the kitchen. She told her son to just place the plates and cups on the table, after that he was ordered to go watch his younger brother. It wasn't long once Miyako heard the door bell ring. The purple head woman took a glance at the kitchens clock, and her lips formed a frown.

Was Ken back this early?

Miyako cleaned her hands before going out of the kitchen, and answering the door. Her eyes widen, as she stared at the male before her.

"Eh? Iori-kun?"

"Maiku, I want you to treat Tetsou with a lot of kindness okay?" Mimi said in English as she was talking to her son. Behind her was Taichi and Tetsou completely confused with the conversation that the Tachikawa's were having.

Maiku gave a nod as he was sitting on the couch. "Alright Mama, but …"

"But…?"

"Why is he staying over here?" asked Maiku not clearly understanding the situation. "I don't really mind Tetsou being here, but why?"

Mimi forced a smile to reassure her son. "His dad and I are going to visit a friend that lives … a bit far away."

Maiku tilted his head to the side. "Can't Tetsou and I go?"

Mimi's smile twitched. Her son had such brilliant suggestions that was not helping her current situation. "Eh…heh."

Maiku gave his mother a confused look. "Mama?"

"It's going to take a few …days to get there. Please Maiku do this favor for Mama?" Mimi placed her to hands together, and gave her son a hesitant smile. Her son merely gave a nod stating that he would obey his mother to no end. Mimi was glad that Maiku was so obedient. The American-Japanese mother hugged her son. "Oh thank you! Thank you Maiku!"

Maiku embarrassed that his mother was showing affection towards him in front of male companions, he tried his best to get away. "Moooom!" complained the honey haired boy. "Stop that it's …embarrassing especially when…"

Mimi stopped hugging her son, and gave a glance at Taichi and Tetsou who were merely watching them curiously. She then looked back at her son, a grin played on her lips. "Is my little Maiku embarrassed?" said Mimi still speaking in English. "I'm sure they don't really mind."

"Moooom!"

"Alright, alright!" said Mimi now turning her full attention to Taichi and his son. This time she spoke in the language that they were used to hearing. "Taichi-san, I'm sure Tetsou -kun will be taken care of by Maiku and my parents. You shouldn't be worried in leaving him here."

"Thanks Mimi," said Taichi to the woman in front of him. He then bent down to his sons height. "Listen sport. I'll come pick you up as soon as I can. Be good to the Tachikawa's understood?"

A nod.

"Good."

Taichi patted his son's head giving him a smile. In return the boy tried to smile back. With that the two parents left their children to the Tachikawa couple.

Koushiro made a turn as he drove the car silently. In the passengers seat was Hikari nervously fumbling with her thumbs. The radio was turned on, but the volume wasn't loud enough. Koushiro made a stop since the light had turned red. Hikari gave a glance at the red hair man next to her. His eyes looked tired, distressed, and a simple way to put it all; confused. A frown formed Hikari's lips, as she stared at the companion next to her.

"Is something wrong Hikari-san?" questioned the male without giving her a glance.

Hikari mutely shook her head. "N-No, everything's fine…"

There it was again, the silence that made everything awkward. This time Hikari stole a glance at Izumi Koushiro. He changed much since the digital adventures with their digimon years ago. He did get a little taller than before. His hair wasn't as messy like years ago. He had changed, much more than she did.

"Hikari-san."

Hikari jumped a bit from being startled by the man next to her. "Yes?"

"This may sound rude, but why didn't you wish to talk to Takeru before we all left?" he said not taking his eyes off the road. He didn't see her eyes cast down to her lap. "I think talking to each other might …help a lot."

"Right now I'm more concerned for my son than Takeru…" she whispered. Finally Koushiro's onyx eyes stared at the Yagami woman. What he saw from Hikari was hesitance as she sat on the passengers seat looking down at her lap.

"You're lying," he stated bluntly. "It's really out of character for you to do that Hikari-san."

"…"

"It may not be my place to tell you this," Koushiro began to drive once more when the traffic light turned green. "But I believe it would be better if the two of you talked things out."

"…Can I ask you something?"

He eyed the woman next to him. "Yes…?"

"Why did you keep it a secret?" Hikari gave a small glance at the redhead male. "About your wife and Ami? No other of our friends knew that you were married or had a child."

There was a long pause, and Hikari had mentally scold her self for asking such privet question. The only source of sound was the radio, and some cars passing by. Just how long would they get to the lab that Koushiro and Sora's father worked in?

"I wouldn't say it was a secret," began Koushiro going to the freeway in order to get to the bridge that connected Odaiba to the other districts of Tokyo. "Jyou knew of my relationship."

"J-Jyou?" questioned Hikari surprised of the news Koushiro had given her. Since when did Jyou know such thing? Was it before their last meet up or after?

"Yes," said a blunt Koushiro making another turn. "Jyou knew of my relationship with Yoshino, my research assistant."

"So…you're married to …"

A sigh. "Yes, my research assistant."

A nod came from the brunette woman. "I see. But why didn't you tell us of your relationship status?"

Finally the car was on the Rainbow Bridge, and it was heading towards a Tokyo district: Minato. Koushiro gave another sigh before answering Hikari's question. "Didn't you find it just a bit odd that my spouse was my research assistant?"

Hikari hesitated in her nod. "Well a bit…It's just a bit scandalous you could say. I always thought you and Mimi would…you know."

Koushiro tried his best to stay focused on the road. "Mimi?" he cried out. "What gave you that idea?"

Hikari gave a shrug. "Well you two seemed pretty friendly."

Hikari knew that out of the corner of his eye he was still looking at her. He later on shook his head, and muttered a 'I can't believe this' as the car finally got off of Rainbow Bridge.

"Mimi is … well nice," he suddenly said making another turn. "I just really can't see myself in a relationship with her. It's too … odd."

"S-Sorry," Hikari took a glance at the window. She shouldn't have spoken her thoughts. She should have stayed quiet throughout this car ride.

"It's fine," he said making another turn. They were almost close to where the lab was. "Anyway I really think it's a good idea for Takeru..."

She interrupted Koushiro. "Koushiro-san, promise me you won't tell anybody for what I am about to tell you."

At the seriousness of her tone, the computer genius could only nod.

Hikari began to tell her story.

"...and so that's what happened."

"..."

"Miyako-san, did you know? About Hikari-san and Takeru-san's relationship? About their son Hikaru?"

"..."

"I shouldn't be intreaving myself into this, but Takeru-san and Hikari-san had been good friends to me since our adventures. I would hate to see them fight since they were such good friends."

"Iori...I knew about the hidden relationship that Hikari and Takeru had. It was a long time ago, that I knew of. I also knew about Hikaru, both Ken and I were there when he was born."

"So... They really..."

"Iori."

"Y-Yes?"

"What I'm about to tell you...you have to promise to not tell a soul until Hikari is ready..."

"I promise."

His eyes widen, and his human instincts kicked in. In a hurry, Hikaru began to pick up Ami as he placed her on his back. Giving a piggyback ride to the unconscious girl, he began to run away. He was trying his get close to the boulder that was near by.

"Scissors Claw!" cried out the gigantic stag beetle as it crushed the boulder with it's sharp ages of his mandibles.

Hikaru stopped his tracks as his eyes widen in fear. That beetle monster thing just destroyed the boulder. Where was he going to go now? He was in the middle of the plains! Shaking in fear, he couldn't help but just stand there as the giant beetle began to fly towards him. Out of the corner of his eyes he noticed the sleeping Ami. He had to run.

The beetle was getting closer to him.

Now.

His feet began to finally move. He didn't exactly know where he was going. His mind wasn't reregistering to call for help. The only thing that he was thinking was to run away. So his feet began to have a brain of their own. He decided that the best choice to do is find a place where he could hide perhaps getting out of the plains would be the number one plan he should do.

"Thanks Mimi," said Taichi as he got off Rainbow Bridge and coming to the Minato district.

Mimi sat on the passengers seat while she carefully watched outside the window. It was late, but the lights of Tokyo were pretty when it was dark "You're welcome really, but we should get going. I think Koushiro and Hikari are already at the lab."

Taichi nodded. "Yeah…"

"Are you worried?" questioned the brunette as she was careful trying to mind her own buisness. "I'm sure Hikari is fine."

"...Hopefully."

The woman couldn't help to smirk. "So you still have that overprotective personality in you huh?"

"Maybe..."

"Some people never seem to change," she muttered as she kept her gaze her side of the window. "I guess that's good..."

"...Hey Mimi, Maiku seems to be fine with the whole seperation thing between you and Micheal," he said without noticing her stiff posture. "He seems to be able to ... Accept your divorce."

"...Well," she began not before she gave a small sigh. "To tell you the truth, he still waits for Micheal and I to reconcile and set aside our differences. And it really wasn't easy the first few months of my divorce."

With one small glance at the divorced mother, he could tell he was in a dangerous boundary. Taichi nervously glanced at the side before he steered to the left. "So what are you going to do?"

Mimi's chocolate orbs stared at the road ahead. "I came here to..."

'Escape?' she thought in a bitter tone inside her head. 'Can't do that forever now that I've talked with Iori yesterday about it...'

"I came here to get help," muttered the honey haired as she gave another sigh for the day. "Micheal wants custody for Maiku, but I'm against it you could say."

The rest of the way was pure silence. The two adults never spoke a word after that. They had only let the radio play its tune which was the only source of sound inside the car.

Finally the car stopped in front of a very eight story high modern looking building. The two brunettes stared at the building next to them. Mimi could only stare in amazement. This was the place where Sora's dad and Koushiro were researching about the Digital world? This building looked as if it should belong in a CSI Hollywood set back in Los Angeles.

The honey haired woman turned to face Taichi. "A-Are you sure this is the place?"

Taichi pointed before him. "Koushiro's car." He then pointed at the building. "Koushiro and Hikari over there."

Lo and behold, the red head and the other brunette female were standing in front of the entrance door of the building as they waited for their arrival. Mimi could only mutely nod as she unbuckled herself free. "Right, this is the place where they're studying about the digital world..." she muttered to herself as she got out of the car.

"Believe me," mumbled Taichi under his breath. "I'm surprised that this building is researching about that world..."
