A/N : Hey! I've updated four chapters again, in which mean that I've made up all of the days I left before. And, I just want to tell you, when the reviews are about 70, or at least either of favs or follows of this fic is going to two digit, ( at least ten ), I'll make a special chapter. Really, a special chapter! So, I hope you all can give me some of your opinion through the reviews.

Chapter 47

Growth

Yamato sighed.

He was now lying on the grass-field, near his apartment. Gazing at the sky, he pondered to himself aloud.

"Have I grown up?" he asked.

Forcing the words out wasn't what he wanted. He just wanted to keep it in himself. He didn't want anyone to notice that he was still had some doubt in himself.

He whimpered quietly, his mind was rather complicated with both past and future.

Surprisingly, a name came up to his mind.

"Gabumon…"

He was the one who always clung with him, no matter what he decided to do or what he insisted to do.

He always be there, by his side, listening to his ramble, his whining, anything he had in his mind.

Yamato smiled. Now, he was apart from him. There was no longer a presence that always present beside him.

But, he was sure Gabumon believed too that he would have grown up by himself.

Even so, he had already have another person, to look for him.

Just when he thought about it, he felt shadows blurred his sight. He lifted his head up, only to be surprised.

"Taichi! Sora! How could you two be here?" he asked, still surprised to find his friends at late-night.

"Hey, we happened to pass here, so I suggest Taichi to check for you," Sora explained.

"Yah, me and Sora are going to have some movie, but the cinema had already closed," the former leader grumbled silently.

"As silly as usual," Yamato chuckled as he rose from his position.

"Uhm… about your question…" Sora nervously stated. It caused Yamato to gasp.

"You … hear that?" he hoped that Sora was just kidding, or just expecting something wrong.

"… kind like that…" she smiled.

"Listen, no matter how much time takes for you to grow up until you want, we will always be there for you, Yamato," she smiled, again, warmly.

"Though that I'm quite sure you've been growing a lot!" Taichi added.

Yamato smiled to the duo.

"Thanks,"

"You're welcome," Sora replied, smiling toward the bearer of Friendship.

"Hey, since that we're here, why don't we watch some movie at Yamato's apartment?" Taichi suddenly said. The brunette gave his usual grin toward them.

"Fine for me," Yamato smirked.

"Sounds good! Tomorrow is Sunday, so I have no worry to come late~ I also have messaged my mom," Sora said as she pulled her phone out.

"Come on!" Taichi, always with his courage, pulled Sora toward the entrance of the apartment. Yamato laughed a bit, and then gazed back at the sky with grateful smile.

"I know it… I know it…" he repeated the words and keep his smile on his face. He didn't need to worry anymore.

"Yamato, you are surely have grown up. But, growing up doesn't mean you have to change. If you keep insist to change, then it's okay. But, when everybody around you has already liked you the way you are, then why you still need to change? After all, both your bad and good personalities that make you are yourself."

"There is only one of you in this world, Yamato,"

A sincere smile went across his face. Yamato was sure that he didn't need to worry anymore.

Yah, Gabumon and Yamato are the best partner ever! No matter what it takes, they can't be separated away XD And kudos for the readers who noticed that the last line is Gabumon's quote!
