What do you mean there's no 4th of July in Ireland?!?!?! I feel so bad for everyone who lives in Ireland, since I LOVE 4th of July!!!! Anyways, 4th Of July won! Yay!!!
There's no change with my mama, so no news there. I was actually getting a little depressed, guys. My brothers were taken away from me, my sisters are selfish, my older brother doesn't care about anything, so I almost was ready to just give up, but then my cell phone rang when I started thinking that way...it was from a college a couple hours away from here...guys...they are offering me a 6000 dollar scholoship to thier school! I'm still jumping up and down!
Life is turning around for the best and I'm glad. It's actually got me more encouraged to finish that blasted chapter eleven of this story…which is bugging the hell out of me, but whatever.
Sorry for blabbing…I'm just really happy and thankful, still sad for my mama, but there's nothing I can do for her anymore. She's scared of me whenever I visit her (She's also scared of everyone in my family, except her mom, my grandmother), so there's no use anymore.

----------------------Chapter Eight — S.T.C.D.I.P. ------------------------
"Now it's time for the grand finale." She said as she was about to release Sakura from her hold.
-This can't be happening! This is a bad dream! Someone stop this!- Kanaye's mind screamed. "DON'T DO IT!"
Witchmon stopped and sighed. "What is it now? There is nothing you can say that will stop this." She said.
Ryo stepped up behind Kanaye and whispered close to his ear, so Witchmon wouldn't suspect anything. "Keep her busy alright. Wait for my signal." Ryo told him in a hushed voice.
Kanaye gave a nod. "Listen, isn't there something we can do to make you stop this?" He asked Witchmon, as Ryo disappeared from sight. Matthew, Taichi, and Maro just shrugged, hoping this would turn out good. "Please, just leave her alone!"
Witchmon chuckled. "Please, boy. Don't start with me. There is nothing you can do. Nothing. Now don't worry, you'll have your turn, but she's going to test the fall out."
Kanaye didn't see Ryo's signal yet, so he had to keep this up. "Please, wait!"
"Why must you care so much about this girl? What is she to you?" Witchmon asked in a dull tone.
"She's my twin sister and if she's gone, I might as well be too!" Kanaye answered truthfully.
"But you will be gone momentary." Witchmon pointed out. Kanaye looked a little bit down when he saw something at the corner of his eyes. Ryo was waving from a tree...a very tall tree. Kanaye took a deep breath. This was it. Sakura's life was in Ryo's hands now. "If you are done, I'll be doing my job now." She almost released Sakura from her hold, as Ryo steaded himself on the top branch of the tall tree, that was straight down from Witchmon and Sakura. If Sakura fell, Ryo would catch her. "Have a nice fall."
Sakura didn't know this plan, so when Witchmon released Sakura, she screamed. Kanaye, Matthew, Taichi, and Maro turned away, not wanting to watch this. Ryo jumped off the tree and caught Sakura in his arms, then held her with one arm, then used the other to hold on to the closest branch. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ryo panted. "Are you alright, Sakura?" He asked in a strained voice.
Sakura nodded shyly. "Yes, thank you so much, Ryo."
"No problem." Ryo continued to keep his grip on the branch, hoping for a miracle to happen.
"Hey, Hazy!" Ryo and Sakura looked down and saw the boys below. "Let Sakura go, we'll catch her, then you next!"
"Are you sure?!"
"Yeah, now hurry up!"
Ryo grinded his teeth and looked to Sakura, who gave a nod. "Alright, I'm going to let you go, okay?" He told her. She gave another nod. He let her go. Sakura just let out a shriek, then Matthew and Kanaye caught her. Ryo let go, then Taichi and Maro caught him.
Kanaye hugged Sakura tightly. "Don't ever scare me like that again!"
"Aw, how sweet!" Witchmon said in a sarcastic voice. "Now I'm angry though, and no one will live when I'm angry." She threatened. "Poison Storm!" Another cloud of fog appeared around them, but this is different.
Ryo figured that out. "It's poison! Don't breathe it!" The teens covered their noses, trying to hold their breaths for as long as they could, but unfortunately that wasn't long enough.
"Terrier Tornado!"
"Lop Twister!"
Two different small tornadoes were pushing the fog of poison away from the kids. Once they could open their eyes they saw their digimon partners in front of them. Maro sighed in relief. "Where have you guys been?!"
Koemon glared. "Sorry, but we had to fight off those annoying Wizardmon."
"Did you beat them?" Taichi asked. Suddenly Wizardmon appeared next to Witchmon. "Apparently not." Taichi answered his own question.
Lopmon turned to the other digimon. "Are you guys ready?" They all answered with a nod. "Digivolve now!" She yelled. A bight light surrounded the digimon. "Lopmon digivolve to...Antylamon!" A large bunny came from the light.
Sakura's mouth dropped. "Whoa!"
"Terriermon digivolve to...Gargomon!" A fat bunny with guns appeared next.
Kanaye blinked. "He's got pants?"
"BlackAgumon digivolve to...DarkTyrannomon!" A large black dinosaur with an iron tail appeared.
Matthew's eyes widened. "He's my partner?" He asked in awe.
"Guilmon digivolve to...Growlmon!" A large red dinosaur showed up.
Taichi pumped his fist in the air. "Totally awesome!"
"SnowAgumon digivolve to...Frigimon!" A snow bear that was taller than heck appeared.
Ryo raised an eyebrow. "...a bear?"
"Koemon digivolve to...Hookmon!" A captain pirate showed up, looking pretty freaky.
Maro smiled widely. "Oh, he's so cool!"
Antylamon stood in the middle of them. "Wizardmon, Witchmon, we cannot allow you to destroy these children. Either leave now, or suffer your unwanted fate."
Witchmon scoffed. "I don't fear you! Two bunnies, one pirate, and three dinos aren't going to stop me!"
Wizardmon nodded. "We have orders from our leader to destroy those six children you are protecting. If we must, we will destroy you first."
"I say lets just destroy them now and stop talking!" Witchmon screeched as she rose higher into the sky. Suddenly the sky went dark and the moon took the sun's place in the sky! Witchmon smirked. "Baru Luna Gale!" A beam from the moon shot out, aiming for the digimon.
"Attack at once!" Antylamon shouted. "Bunny Blades!"
Gargomon scoffed. "Gargo Pellets!"
"Fire Black!" DarkTryannomon shot.
"Captain Cannon!" Hookmon attacked.
Growlmon let out a deadly growl. "Pyro Blaster!"
Frigimon nodded. "Snowball Fight!"
Their attacks shot at the beam and made it disappeared, but it didn't stop there, it headed right for Witchmon as well. She screamed as she was deleted.
Sakura gasped. "What happened to her?"
Wizardmon ignored his partner dying and went for the kids. "Thunder Blaster!" Lighting shot out of his hand, aiming for the teens, but it was stopped.
"Treasure Axes!" Antylamon's attack sent the lightning elsewhere.
Then Growlmon and Frigimon had a brilliant idea. Growlmon made the first move. "Dragon Slash!" That sent Wizardmon back in Frigimon, who attacked him.
"Subzero Ice Punch!" Frigimon punched Wizardmon's back, which sent him flying forwards, then face first into the dirty ground.
DarkTryannomon came up and grabbed Wizardmon's cape, pulling him up, face to face. "Now answer the questions or suffer. Who sent you?" He asked.
Wizardmon laughed. "I wont betray my leader that way!"
DarkTyrannomon punched him into the ground, then back up again. "Answer it!"
"Fine, fine!" The beat up Wizardmon yelled, putting his hands in front of his face. "I'll tell you, just stop doing that!"
Antylamon smirked as she walked up. "What a coward, but it's worth it if you don't want to die. Now speak."
Wizardmon sighed. "All I can really tell you is that my leader; master; the digimon who sent me to destroy the new digidestend is..."
"Is?!"
"Callismon." Wizardmon grunted. "But unlike others...he has a human partner as well."
The digimons' eyes widened. "What?!"
"Yes, but we have not seen him. We've only heard his voice. He hides behind a hooded cape, but we all can tell he's human. He has a digivice hanging around his neck from a chain. It's black." Wizardmon explained.
Hookmon narrowed his eyes. "That's not possible, is it? I thought there were only supposed to be six new digidestend, who were the kids of the previous digidestend. That's what the prophecy stated."
Wizardmon shook his head. "You read wrong. There are seven or more digidestend. One shall turn to the darkside...which is this one. He is the Keeper Of Hatred."
Matthew blinked. "Hatred? Keeper of?"
Gargomon turned to him. "Keeper of Hatred, the one who is evil, also the prophecy also states that the Keeper Of Hatred will become friends with the digidestend, but in disguise to gain their trust. You guys also are Keepers."
"We are?" Kanaye questioned. "What?"
Gargomon looked to the Wizardmon. "Well you know about the Keeper of Hatred, wouldn't you know about these kids'?"
Wizardmon sighed. "Yes. Red equals Strength. Blue equals Trust. Grey equals Compassion. Green equals Dreams. Pink equals Innocence. And Orange equals Peace." He answered. "Red is the leader of the new team of digidestend."
Matthew gulped. "Oh crap."
"Whoa, go Scope!" Maro shouted. Matthew glared.
"Now please let me go." Wizardmon pleaded.
DarkTyrannomon looked to the others. Antylamon sighed. "Release him. We have what we need."
DarkTyrannomon growled. "If I see you again, your dead meat. And I love meat."
Wizardmon nodded. "I understand." DarkTyrannomon released him and he suddenly disappeared.
"How did he do that?" Maro asked.
"None of your concern." Antylamon said. "Now are you all alright?"
They nodded. "Yeah, amazingly."
"Good, cause here comes your father and others." Gargomon pointed behind them.
The kids' eyes widened as they looked behind. Sure enough, there was their fathers running towards them, dodging trees. Tai spotted his son. "Ryo!"
"We're in so much trouble." Taichi muttered.
Once the dads arrived, they hugged their kids. T.K. let out a big sigh in relief. "Are you guys alright?" He asked.
Kanaye nodded. "Yes, dad, we're okay."
"Good." He breathed, then he got angry. "Now I'm going to kill you!"
"Here it comes." Taichi mumbled.
Aiden released his son and glared at them. "What gave you the stupid idea of coming here alone?! It's dangerous!"
"Oh, trust us, we know that now." Maro told his father.
Their glares soften. "What happened?" Tai asked Ryo.
Ryo shrugged. "A lot."
Tai growled. "That's not specific enough, Ryo."
"Sakura almost died, then Ryo almost died trying to save her." Maro said.
The other boys glared at him, saying "thanks a lot!" sarcastically.
T.K. looked to his only daughter. "Is that true, Sakura?"
Sakura bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears. "Y-yes."
T.K. sensed her being upset and wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay, baby girl. You're alright now." Sakura hugged him back, letting the tears fall silently on his shirt.
Aiden clenched his fist. "Why weren't you guys looking out for her?" He glared at his younger brothers.
Matthew crossed his arms. He remembered now...
FLASHBACK :
"I wont leave my brothers!" Sakura shouted.
Maro shook his head. "Sakura, we have no choice! They said they would catch up! Now come on! Let's go, or do I have to carry you?!"
"Just go, Sakura!" Matthew yelled, noticing they weren't gone yet. "I promise we'll find you! Maro, you better take care of her!"
Maro nodded. "I will, I promise! Now come on, Sakura!"
::: FLASHBACK OVER :
Matthew shook his head. He wouldn't put the whole blame on Maro. "Sorry, Aiden. Really. We were careless."
"Stop it!" All eyes went to Sakura when she shouted. She had tears running down her cheeks, T.K. holding her shoulders, trying to make her calm down. "It's not their fault, okay?! It's mine! It's always my fault! I'm just too weak and stupid to do anything for myself! I'm useless! I shouldn't even be a digidestend!"
T.K. turned her around to face him again and held on to her shoulders. "Look at me, Sakura Takashi! You are not stupid or weak! Definitely not useless! Understand?" He asked her firmly. The one thing that has always bugged T.K. since he was young is people calling themselves horrible things, thinking that's what they are. He's always hated that. He would not stand for it if one of his own kids called themselves that.
Sakura looked to the ground. "Yes." He's lying. He has to say that cause he's my dad. I'm nothing to this family and team.
The Next Day...Morning...Takashi Household...
Everyone's alarm clock went off at seven o' clock, on the dot. Except for T.K. and Kari's since they got up at six. The boys yawned and stretched themselves out a little. Usually he would already be up and running out on the track with his sister and brother, but not this morning. The night before had them exhausted. So they slept in for an extra hour. T.K. were in the kitchen making breakfast together at the moment.
"I'm going to go make sure the kids are up." T.K. said, he was about to walk out of the kitchen.
"You don't have to check on Sakura." Kari suddenly said.
T.K. stopped in his tracks and turned to his wife. "Why not?"
Kari pointed out the window. "She's already up and dressed." T.K. went next to her and saw Sakura sitting on the grass, watching her bunny play at her feet. "Why does she look so upset, T.K.? Did something happen last night?"
T.K. rubbed the back of his neck and sighed deeply. "Kari, it's nothing...I think? Now lets tell her to come inside, it's less than 40 degrees outside!"
Kari crossed her arms and gave him a look. "T.K., I know you're not an expert on teenage girls, so tell me and maybe then I can help."
T.K. raised his eyebrows. "I understand teenage girls! I have three nieces!"
"But did you raise them?" Kari asked.
T.K. got stumped, but countered with a smirk. "Neither did you."
Kari narrowed her eyes. "I was once a teenage girl, T.K.!"
Okay, T.K. was stuck again. "Okay, okay. Here's what happened, Kanaye told me the whole story. Apparently Sakura and Maro ran off to get away from the fight and got attacked by Witchmon. Witchmon grabbed Sakura, threatened her life, almost killed her, but Ryo saved her."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, but I don't really think that is all that's bothering her." T.K. said, looking out the window to his daughter.
Kari looked concerned. "T.K., what are you not telling me?"
T.K. sighed. "When the boys started getting a little overprotective, Sakura snapped."
Kari's eyes widened. "Sakura? Our Sakura snapped?"
"I know, I was shocked too, but what she said...Kari, I went from shocked to frustrated." T.K. frowned. "She started shouting...calling herself stupid, weak, and useless. Then I snapped. I yelled at her and told her that it wasn't true. I really do doubt she listened to me though. She didn't talk until we got home; even then she only said one word."
"What was that?"
"Night!" T.K. groaned. "Kari, nobody told me having a daughter was going to be this difficult!"
Kari rolled her eyes. "T.K., it's not about her being a girl in general! It's about the way she's just so timid and quiet. Everyone automatically thinks she's weak and useless. Sure, everyone will love her more because of her sweet and gentle nature, but there's way more to it now. Sakura doesn't want to be protected anymore or be treated like a baby."
"But that's what happens when the girls are younger or smaller in families!" T.K. pointed out. "She has...five older brothers, two uncles, cousins, a nephew, and a crazy dad that love her so much that they don't want her to get hurt!"
"Yes, I know...poor Sakura." Kari sighed.
T.K. blinked. "Anyways, do you think you can talk to her? Before I take them to school?"
Kari smiled. "Sorry, can't. Sora called me last night and asked me to help her in the flower shop this morning, because Bridget has to take Cassidy somewhere. I promise I'll talk to her tonight when she gets home from her practice."
"Kari..." T.K. whined.
Kari put her hand on his cheek. "Don't worry, T.K., you'll live twenty minutes in the car with her. She doesn't bite."
"Hey, you know what they say about the quiet ones." T.K. told her.
"Takeru!" Kari scolded.
T.K. laughed and put his hands up in defense. "Just kidding, Kari! I'm sorry!"
"Mom. Dad." Kari and T.K. turned to the door and saw Sakura walking in with her rabbit in her hands. She closed the door and looked to them.
"Yes, sweetie?" Kari asked.
"School starts in ten minutes." Sakura stated in a bored tone.
T.K. and Kari's eyes widened and they looked to the clock. "It's 8:10!" They screamed. Kari turned to T.K. "Are the boys even up?!" T.K. didn't say anything, just ran up the stairs. Kari rolled her eyes. "I'll write you four a note, then give it to the office, because you'll be tardy. Okay, Sakura?"
Sakura nodded. "Okay."
Kari smiled. "Why don't you go and put Butterscotch back in her cage? I have to go help aunt Sora now."
Sakura sighed. "Yes, mom." She turned and went upstairs to her room.
Kari put a hand on her heart and got worried eyes. -Why do I feel like something really horrible will happen today?-
Dinnertime...Ending...
Everyone finished their dinner and put their dishes in the sink. It was Sakura's turn to do the dishes, so Kari stayed and helped her. Once the boys were gone, Kari decided to talk to her. "So Sakura, how was your day?" Kari asked in a sweet voice. Sure, the kids got grounded for two weeks, but they got over it. They did deserve it anyways.
Sakura shrugged. "It was okay, but can you please call the school and tell them that our teacher Kakashi is still not showing up for class?"
Kari laughed. "I'll do that first thing in the morning. "
"Good, cause it gets pretty boring sitting in class for an hour not doing anything." Sakura told her mother.
Kari smiled. "So did anything else happen today?"
Sakura shrugged. "I don't know. I've been feeling pretty dizzy today."
Kari got worried eyes. "Dizzy? Are you alright?" She put a hand on Sakura's forehead; she had a bit of a fever. "You're warm."
Sakura sighed. "I don't know what's wrong with me. It just started after I got home from school."
"That's why you took a nap after you got home, right?" Kari asked. Sakura shrugged. "Well the dishes are done. Thank you for doing them. Now let's get you to bed, okay? We'll see how you feel in the morning, if you're okay to go to school."
Sakura nodded grimly. "Okay." Kari smiled at her and led her up to her room.

Preview for chapter nine : It's Back
"I promise. Nothing is going to happen to her."
"Is there something you're not telling everyone, Shy?"
"I can take care of myself. I don't need you or anybody protecting me anymore. I'm a big girl...and big girls don't cry."
"That girl will be my princess in due time. She will...or else."
"My parents made me and my siblings take six months of karate when we were seven, so I insist you back off!"
