----------------------Chapter Five — Punishment ------------------------
With everyone...
Almost everyone had arrived in the same hour Aiden found out about his younger siblings' latest stunt. Micah, Kira, Kyle, Nikko, and Kannon were running late. They were all so happy to see each other. Sakura and May were very happy to see each other, especially when they ran up to each other and screamed of how much they missed each other (most of the screaming done by May -Mimi's daughter- go figure). Maro and Daniel were excited to see each other as well. Now the kids were in the Tsukiyomi's huge backyard, playing some soccer.
Kanaye began balancing the soccer ball on his head, while the others were waiting for May to come out to play with them. She had to go do her hair, because it was a total mess from the long plane ride. Maro came up from behind Kanaye and pushed the ball off, then began kicking it around. "Hey!" Kanaye yelled as he ran after the boy to get his ball back.
Maro stuck out his tongue. "Try to get it back, Soldier!"
Ryo stepped in the middle. "I say we settle this with a game."
"You just want to play, Hazy." Sakura told him.
Ryo shrugged. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Soldier and Sunny should be captains."
Maro pumped his fist in the air. "Yeah! Finally I'm captain!"
Daniel rolled his eyes. "Just hurry up, Maro. We're getting old here."
Maro glared. "Be nice to your captain! I pick Daniel!"
"Obviously." Kanaye muttered. "I choose Shy-Shy."
Maro put a finger to his chin. "I choose...Hazy!"
"I get Scope." Kanaye said.
Maro crossed his arms. "Romie!"
"Then I guess we get May..." Kanaye sighed. "This is so not my day." Then Sakura nudged him in the ribs.
"I don't want to play!" May called out, they didn't even know she was back outside. She was now sitting on a comfortable chair. "I'm still tired!"
"But who's going to play?" Matthew asked.
Ryo smirked. "I like it this way."
"Hey! It's not fair! Three against four?!" Kanaye countered.
"Then get someone from inside." Taichi told them.
Kanaye growled. "Fine. Lets go guys." He motioned for Sakura and Matthew to follow him. They ran inside and saw all the men in the living room talking about the good old days. Kanaye turned to his siblings. "Who should we ask?"
Sakura shrugged. "There's Marc? Kiyoshi? Aiden? And more."
Kanaye sighed. "That didn't help me." He went to Aiden. "Can you fill in May's spot for the soccer game outside?" He asked. "If you don't, it will be three against four, and that wont be fair."
Aiden shrugged. "Sure, buddy."
Marc grinned. "I want to play!"
"But then it would be uneven again." Matthew pointed out as he and Sakura walked up to them.
"It wont be if Kiyoshi plays." Sakura said.
Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes at the girl. "Don't get me involved."
Kanaye got down on his knees. "Please, Kiyoshi! I'm begging you! We need your help!"
Kiyoshi sighed deeply then stood up. "Fine."
"YES!" The three teens shouted.
Aiden rolled his eyes. "You guys are so over dramatic."
As the six of them went outside. Izzy turned to everyone. "I have to go watch this one." He got up.
T.K. shrugged. "I'll go. Come on, guys." So all the people in the room followed. They all found seats out on the patio, either on the ground or chairs, or they stayed standing. May got lifted by her father and he set her in his lap.
"I wanted to sit." Izzy said to her. May rolled her eyes. "So why aren't you playing?"
May smirked. "Two reasons. One: I don't know how to play. Two: it's always so funny watching those guys play cause they get so rough and crazy."
All the men nodded. "True."
So now it was Maro, Ryo, Taichi, Daniel and Aiden vs. Kanaye, Sakura, Matthew, Marc, and Kiyoshi. Sakura sighed. -Why is it that I'm always stuck playing this retarded game with these boys?! May always quits! Ugh!-
Davis and Tai grinned. "We'll be referees!" They called out. Of course, the soccer lovers want to do that.
Taichi blinked. "We need those?"
Kanaye and Ryo rolled their eyes. "Yes, Romeo. Just like how you need a brain." Ryo muttered.
Taichi glared. "Why I outta-"
Aiden put a hand on his shoulder. "I wouldn't." He warned. "Dad's watching." Taichi looked and sure enough, T.K. was watching, sitting next to Ken and Matt on the bench. Taichi groaned.
Matthew smirked. "Give up, Romie?"
Taichi glared. "In your dreams, Scope!"
Kiyoshi shook his head. "I'll never remember these stupid nicknames they have for each other." He muttered to Marc, who nodded in understanding.
Kanaye and Sakura turned around and glared at the men. "They're not stupid!" They both yelled. The teens were very proud of having their personal nicknames for each other and they hated it when people talking trash about them.
Kiyoshi and Marc put their hands up in defense. "Sorry, sorry." They both said.
Maro and Daniel groaned. "Can we start this thing or what?!" Maro yelled.
Kanaye walked to his spot on the "field" and smirked. "Impatient, are we?"
"Just shut up and begin this thing." Maro smirked back.
It began with Kanaye kicking the ball to the right. Everyone thought he was nuts since no one would be there, but wait, Sakura was! Sakura got the ball with her feet and kicked it towards the goal. Maro's team went to go cover their goal as Taichi stood goalie, which he hated. As Maro went in to kick the ball away from the goal, Matthew slid on the side and kicked the ball into the goal. It went in so fast that Taichi didn't even see it coming.
Aiden looked to the other two grown men. "I'm just here for just in case." Aiden told them.
Marc and Kiyoshi nodded. "So are we." Kiyoshi said. Marc was standing goalie for Kanaye's team.
Kanaye and Sakura helped Matthew up, as Maro's team stared wide eyed at them. "How do you do that?!" Maro yelled.
Kanaye put his arms over his two siblings and grinned. "We're a great team, can't you tell?" Kanaye chuckled. Sakura tried to not giggle, but it was hard not to. Matthew was just grinning at Taichi, who was glaring back.
Taichi pointed to Matthew. "It's on, Scope!"
Matthew laughed. "Bring it on, Romie!"
Ryo sighed. "I'm really bored. Let's play this already."
Tai and Davis were laughing, but called it. "Round two!"
Matt nudged T.K. "You must be proud."
T.K. crossed his arms. "Oh yeah." He said with a smile.
The second game started with angst. Maro got the ball first this time and kicked it. It hit Kiyoshi's feet, who bounced it up with his foot and kicked it to Matthew. Matthew got it and kicked it into Maro's side. Ryo got it and kicked it back to Kanaye's side. Sakura got it and kicked it to Kanaye, who kicked it back to her. The other team got confused. Sakura kicked it to Kiyoshi and motioned for him to kick it to Matthew. Kiyoshi kicked it to him and Matthew kicked it to Kanaye, who had Taichi right next to him ready to steal the ball. Kanaye managed to escape that and ran towards their goal. Ryo thought differently as he stole the ball from Kanaye, then kicked it to Daniel, who was close to the other goal. Daniel tried to kick it in, but Marc caught it with his hands. Kanaye, Sakura, and Matthew were screaming for joy, as the other team pouted.
Maro clenched his fist. "This. Is. War." His team nodded in agreement.
Everyone on the patio were laughing and cheering. May sighed. "Told you this was going to be funny."
"Round three!" Tai and Davis yelled.
They began again, Maro got the ball first again. He kicked it back to Daniel who ran with the ball to the other goal. Kanaye rolled his eyes. -Too easy. - He stole the ball from him then kicked to Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi kicked it to the other side, where Aiden was. Aiden thought he had the ball, but nope. Sakura under his legs on the grass and kicked the ball away, making it go to Matthew. Aiden blinked. He didn't see that one coming. Matthew got the ball stolen by Ryo, who kicked it high to the other side of the field. Maro got it now and went for the goal. Marc got ready. Kiyoshi went up and tried to steal it, but somehow Maro got himself and the ball out of the way, then suddenly kicked the ball into the goal, where Marc didn't get it.
Now Maro's team was jumping for joy. Aiden helped Sakura up. "How did you do that?"
Sakura smiled innocently. "Being small for my age has its advantages." She answered.
Aiden frowned. "But be more careful. I could've kicked you. Hard." He told her.
Sakura sighed. "Quit treating me like a baby." She whined.
Kanaye smirked as he walked up to Maro. "We still won." He pointed out.
Maro shrugged. "At least we made a goal."
Kanaye smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that's good."
Kari came outside. "What's going on?" She asked T.K.
T.K. grinned. "Our wonderful teenagers are getting their anger out in a better way than fighting."
Kari smiled. "That's good. Now that gives me an idea."
"What's that?" T.K. asked.
"Since the teens have been getting in so much trouble lately, lets make them do soccer this year. Maybe then they'll stop fighting and getting in so much trouble. It could be their punishment."
T.K. nodded. "That's a brilliant idea, Kari, but Sakura can't. She has ice skating. We can't make her quit that. She's been in that since she was five years old. Taichi can get out of band for a while. Matthew is naturally smart, he doesn't need to be anymore intelligent. Kanaye just writes, he already was going to do soccer anyways. As was Ryo and Maro."
"Okay, Sakura can't, but the boys are so joining. I'll talk to the coach." Kari told him, then went back inside.
T.K. smirked. "This going to be funny, I can say that much."
Matt frowned. "What if Taichi and Matthew don't want to do this?" He asked, hating the idea of his nephews may be unhappy.
T.K. shrugged. "Too bad. They should've thought about that before they fought this morning. Making Kanaye and Sakura have to put them in trash cans, then Kanaye had to go get help from Kiyoshi and Marc again...alone. He have to leave Sakura by the trash cans...alone." T.K. growled when he said alone, cause he hated his kids being alone somewhere he didn't know where they were. It was his worst fear.
Matt sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"So you want to be there when I tell them?" T.K. asked.
Matt raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
T.K. bit his lip. "Cause I'm scared of what they'll do."
Matt laughed, but nodded. "Sure."
"You can stay for dinner too." T.K. pointed out. "Kari said that we don't have you over often, so we needed to have you over for dinner."
Matt smiled. "What a great sister-in-law. Always thinking of the little people."
"It was probably because Sakura pointed that out as well." T.K. told him.
Matt sighed. "Yes, my little angel."
"Hey, ya'll!" All heads in the backyard turned to the screen door. There stood the five adults everyone was waiting for. Kannon smiled brightly. "Did you guys start playing without me?" Sakura ran up to him and jumped him, but he was okay with that. So he held her up and squeezed her tightly. "How is my favorite girl?" Kannon asked. As you can tell, Sakura's shyness and sweet attitude had effected everyone in the digi-family. They all loved her so much.
Sakura kept hugging him. "I'm okay." She answered. She loved Kannon, he was like another big brother to her. (That's all she needs! More big overprotective brothers!)
"No boyfriends?" Kannon got serious.
Micah grinned. "She better not have any. Too young."
Sakura giggled. "No...not yet."
All the men looked to her. "Oh sure, after we rip his eyeballs out!" Kanaye came up.
Kira rolled her eyes as Kannon set Sakura down. Sakura gave her a hug next. "Don't worry about all these boys. When you're older, they'll calm down."
"Pssh, yeah right." Matt commented.
"Don't be so overprotective!" Kira told him, turning his way since she could tell where his voice came from. "Or else she will just rebel!"
Matt blinked, and then crossed his arms. "I liked it better when you were seven years old." He muttered.
Kanaye, Matthew, and Taichi came up to Kannon and Micah and hugged them. Nikko went to his father to say hi. Kyle went to his father, saying he already greeted his mother and sister in the kitchen. After Kira released Sakura, Ken and Dishi went to her and hugged her. "Hey, guys!"
Ken squeezed his nineteen year old daughter. "How is my baby girl?" He was so happy she was here with him at the moment, since her being in college and still blind worried him a lot. Although he didn't worry too much anymore, since Micah was there.
Kira place her hands on her hips. "I'm not a baby anymore."
Sakura crossed her arms. "I know that feeling." She looked to her father, who laughed.
"Just answer the question." Ken said.
Kira took Micah's hand, as Micah gulped. This is it. "We have great news." She motioned for everyone to gather around. "Mom and Marisol already knows this, cause I called them both the minute after, but now we have the courage to tell you, dad, Dishi, Kannon."
Dishi crossed his arms. "What? You guys already moved in together, so what else could happen?" He already didn't like the idea of Kira and Micah living together. Neither did Kannon or Ken, but Kira was a big girl. She could make her own choices.
"Oh crap! Are you pregnant?!" Marc suddenly asked.
Kira and Micah got wide eyes as everyone else glared at the couple. "No, no, no! I'm NOT pregnant. Never mind, Sakura, I lied. It doesn't get better." Sakura frowned. Kira took a deep breath. "Dad. Brothers."
Micah gave a nervous smile. "Dad. Marc. We got big news." He put an arm over Kira's shoulder. "I asked Kira to marry me and she accepted." To show them, Kira held up her right hand, where a shiny diamond ring was.
Ken and Matt's mouths dropped. "What?!" Kannon snapped. "When was this?!"
"A couple months ago." Micah answered.
"A COUPLE MONTHS AGO?!" Everyone yelled.
"Why didn't you tell us?!" Marc questioned.
Micah rolled his eyes. "We wanted to wait for the right time. Besides, we've decided to get married after we graduate college. Which is in two years." He explained. "I'm sorry if you all disagree, but I have to tell you. I love Kira and I just wanted to show the whole world how much I love her and that we belong together."
Sakura put her hands over her heart. "Aw."
Kanaye rolled his eyes. "Blah, blah, blah." Sakura glared at him, so he shut his mouth.
Ken sighed. "Well...after that speech, I can't say I don't approve, cause I can tell you love my daughter and that you take great care of her. So you have my blessing."
Matt smiled. "You have my blessing as well."
Micah let out a breath he had been holding in. Kira hugged her father. Dishi and Kannon glanced at each other then shrugged. Kannon walked up to Micah. "Okay, Dishi and I approve as well, BUT if you ever hurt our sister in any way, learn to sleep with your eyes open." He threatened. Dishi nodded in agreement.
Micah sighed. "I'm not afraid...since that will never happen."
Kannon nodded. "Good answer."
Kiyoshi smiled. -I guess our home brings people closer together...so is that why everyone is always coming over? Most likely.Nah. Probably because of our huge backyard and Marisol's great cooking.-
Later On...At The Takashi Household...
The family finished dinner, then T.K. and Matt told the boys to go sit in the living room with them. Kari and Sakura went in the kitchen and did the dishes. T.K. glanced to Matt, who gave him an encouraging look. Matthew, Taichi, and Kanaye sat on the couch, waiting for what the men had to tell them since it was obviously important and serious. "Why isn't Sakura here?" Kanaye asked.
T.K. sighed as he sat down across from the boys. "Because this is about you guys. Now Kanaye, you were already going to do soccer this year, right?"
Kanaye nodded. "Yep. So is Ryo and Maro. Why?"
"Well...Matthew, Taichi...you two are going to be punished for your actions from this morning. Grounding you two is obviously not going to do any good. So your mom and I think you two should do soccer as well."
Matthew and Taichi's eyes widened. "What?!" They both yelled.
"Now I know you aren't happy about this, but it's your punishment." T.K. told them.
"But I have the band!" Taichi pointed out.
"And I have to focus on winning the science fair next month!" Matthew told him. "If I win, I get ten free tickets to Disney World in America!"
T.K. shook his head. "Sorry, but no. You will do this, cause it's your punishment. We think it will help you get your anger out and teach you some discipline, cause you need it. And it's not like we're sending you away to military school. You still have your normal lives, but just replace your normal activities with soccer."
Taichi growled and stood up. "This bites!"
"Why isn't Kanaye and Sakura getting a punishment?" Matthew asked. "They may have not done anything wrong today, except throw us in trash cans. Anyways, they've done bad stuff last year too!"
"I can't take anything away. Kanaye is already in soccer, and we refuse to make Sakura quit ice-skating, since she's been in that since she was little." T.K. explained. "Besides, that was last year. Now it's a new year. You four already started out this year to be troublesome. Make it right for the rest of the year, okay? Also, soccer only lasts for a few months. You can live until then."
Taichi growled, then ran upstairs. Matthew followed. Kanaye sunk into the couch. "Man, I was hoping Scope won that science fair...he promised he would takes us to America." Kanaye muttered as he crossed his arms.
T.K. sighed and looked to Matt for help. Matt shrugged. "I did tell you that they would hate it."
T.K. sighed. "Yeah, I know, but I didn't know it would hurt so much making them quit their favorite things."
"Well how would you feel? I mean, when you were their age, you loved basketball, it was everything to you. How would have you felt if mom made you quit?" Matt asked.
T.K. blinked. "She did make me quit, Matt. I broke my leg, remember? During a game. Mom got worried and said no more basketball." He told him. "But I'm not making them quit everything all together! It's only for a few months!"
Matt shrugged. "You're right, I guess."

Preview for chapter six :
"Sakura, dear, this is Haru. He's your new partner. Haru, this is your partner, Sakura. I hope you two will become great partners and maybe even friends."
"Listen, Noah. If you want to play games with me...be my guest." Ryo said. "Just to warn you though...I always win."
"Hey, hey. You never know, Sakura. A guy like that could be sitting right next to you."
"We should show our parents that we can grow up. So lets. Who's with me?"
"If I get in trouble, I blame you guys."
