Kari walked througt the front doors of Takaishi & Kamachi and down the hall toward TK's office, hoping he hadn't left yet. Finally reaching her destination, she peeked through the window of the office to see if her husband was still there. She looked in just in time to see TK kissing his secretary, Tiffany.
Kari didn't wait to see any more. She turned and ran, not caring where she was going or who saw the tears streaming down her face. The world became a blur of anger and grief.
'No wonder he's been spending so much time at work.' She thought bitterly, 'I can't believe TK would do something like this. I thought he loved me.'

TK shoved Tiffany off of himself roughly with a startled yell.
"What the hell was that!?" he exclaimed in shock. The young man opened his mouth to say something more, but he never got a chance. All the color drained from TK's face when he saw Kari through the window. She turned and ran, but not before he saw the hurt and betrayal in her eyes. TK felt his heart shattering.
"Kari! Come back!" He yelled, jumping up pit of his chair. He turned toward Tiffany, his eyes mirroring the hatred he was feeling with every ounce of his being, "You are fired. If I EVER see you in this building again, I will have you arrested for trespassing. Now get OUT."
Without another word to the stunned woman, TK ran out of the office and sprinted after his wife, "She doesn't know what really happened!" He thought to himself as he burst out the front door just in time to see her car pull out of the parking lot.
"I'm going to lose her." He whispered out loud. He felt tears filling his eyes as he recalled the expression on her face, "I never meant to hurt you Kari. I love you…"

Corr an and Sky walked toward the park slowly, not quite reluctant to get there…but not in much of a hurry either.
"Do you think they'll get a divorce?" Sky asked suddenly, startling her brother. Corran glanced at her sideways, catching her eye.
'I don't know." Corran said simply. Noticing the way she shivered slightly at this comment, Corran placed a hand on her shoulder. Sky stopped walking to look at her brother.
"No matter what happens," he said softly, "I'll always be here for you. I promise."
Sky smiled up at her twin and said, "I know. Thank you Cor."
"No problem." He answered. Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted the conversation.
"Corran! Sky! Come here you guys!" Someone yelled from the direction of the park.
Corran glanced at Sky, "Makoto?"
Sky nodded, "Who else?"
"Hurry up! We're playing soccer and we need more people." Makoto yelled, waving her arms. Sky rolled her eyes.
"Coming cuz'." She called to the brown haired girl, breaking in to a run. Corran wasn't far behind her. The two siblings ran up to their cousin and looked at the boy standing next to her.
"Hey Lee." Corran said upon seeing his friend, "Who else is here?"
"Tami and my brother are running around here somewhere." Lee stated, glancing around briefly, "But I have no idea where." He looked questioningly at Makoto. She shrugged.
"My guess is as good as yours." Makoto said, "I have absolutely no control over that girl. Mom told me to watch her, but she was gone the second we got here."
"Aimee's here to." Lee stated, gesturing toward a nearby tree. The blond girl was sitting under the tree sketching a group of kids playing in a sandbox near the playground equipment.
"What about Rei?" Corran asked, "And Brad?"
"No one's heard from Rei." Makoto said softly, "I called her this morning, but no one picked up."
"Brad's here." Aimee called from her tree, "I'm sure he's by the water. I'll go get him…he'll come if I tell him we're setting up a soccer game."
"Thanks Aimee!" Sky called before turning back to Makoto, "We need to get ahold of Rei. I haven't talked to her since school got out."
Makoto nodded and opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't get a chance.
"No need to get ahold of me. I'm here." A girl's voice said from behind the group.
"Rei!" Makoto exclaimed, "Where have you been? I've been trying to ask you over for days!"
"I've been busy. Sorry." The girl said timidly.
"Don't worry about it." Sky said, "The question isn't, 'Where were you?' It's 'Would you like to play a game of soccer?'"
Rei nodded her head, causing her short red hair to bounce up and down, "Sounds great. I'm first captain."
"I'm second captain!" Makoto called quickly, "We can use the trees for goals!"
Makoto ran over to a small group of trees, perfectly arranged for a soccer game, "This'll be my…er…our goal. Look, here come Aimee and Brad!"
Sure enough, the girl was walking back with a black haired boy next to her, sporting a camera around his neck…which he removed upon reaching the "soccer field".
Makoto grinned, "I pick Lee."
Rei dribbled the soccer ball between her feet absently and said, "I get Corran."
"Brad." Makoto countered, receiving the pass Rei had kicked to her, and kicking it to Sky.
"Sky's on my team. And so is Aimee." Rei finished.
"Why do you get more people?" Makoto asked.
"Because I called first captain." Rei stated smugly. Makoto, for once, didn't have a comment to make. Sky laughed and kicked the ball back to her.
"Let's get this game started." She said.
"Right." Makoto said, taking her position as forward, "Prepare to be defeated, Izumi!" She yelled at Rei with a barely contained laugh.
"The only one who is going to be defeated, Kamiya," Rei said with a smile, "Is you."
Aimee rolled her eyes at the two of them, "Whatever."
Makoto passed the ball to ran and ran part Aimee, positioning herself for a shot. But before Brad got a chance to pass the ball…Corran had stolen it from him and begun running toward the goal.
Lee ran at Corran sideways and slide tackled him before he had a chance to make a shot. The ball went flying. Makoto trapped it easily and tried to juke past Rei. The shorter girl stole the ball without much trouble.
"What was THAT `Koto?" Lee yelled jokingly.
"Shut up Lee." Makoto said fiercely.
Lee was so busy laughing at Makoto that Rei slipped past him and made a goal. Her victorious yell caught his attention.
"Lee!" Brad and Makoto yelled, "What was THAT?!"
Lee rolled his eyes. Rei smiled at him smugly. The game was on.

Tai flopped down on the couch and grabbed the remote, hoping something good was on TV. The kids were at the park, as Sora was at the store, so he really didn't have anything better to do. Flipping through the channels, he realized that there was in fact nothing good on.
Glaring at the TV, he turned it off and stared dejectedly at the blank screen. But Tai was never one for sitting still, and he was up off the couch within moments. Deciding a walk to the park was sounding good about then, he headed for the door. However, before he got there, the doorbell rang.
"Who in the digiworld…?" He asked no one in particular as he opened the door. He didn't expect what he saw.
"Kari?" He exclaimed, surprised to see his sister standing there, tears streaming down her face. The second she saw Tai she ran through the door and hugged hum, shaking with sobs.
"Hey, what's wrong? Don't cry Kari…" Tai said, wrapping his arms around her. She didn't answer him, and Tai began to get extremely worried that someone was hurt, "Come on, you've got to tell me."
Eventually, hers sobs subsided and Tai gently led her over to the couch.
Tai looked at her expectantly and said, "It's not the kids is it?"
Kari shook her head and whispered, "TK."
Tai's eyes widened, 'Oh God, is he ok? Was there an accident?"
Kari's eyes filled with tears and she said, "Tai, he was kissing another woman. I went to see him at lunch, and his secretary was there and…"
Kari noticed a change in Tai's expression immediately. She had hardly ever seen him this mad, "Are you sure?" He asked, "That doesn't sound like TK."
Kari nodded, "I'm sure."
"You stay here, I'll be right back." Tai said, grabbing the cordless phone and walking into the kitchen. Dialing a number quickly, Tai waited for someone to pick up. Finally, a woman's voice came over the phone, "Hello?"
"Hey Jen, is Matt around?" Tai asked.
"Yeah Tai, I'll get him. Hold on a sec." She said, and Tai heard her put the phone down. He smiled slightly as he heard her scream, "Yamato! Phone!!!" loud enough to wake the dead. A few seconds later, Matt's voice came over the phone.
"Tai?"
"Matt, have you talked to your brother lately?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, I just talked to him on the phone about half and hour ago." Matt replied, "Why, is there something wrong? You sound…mad."
"Yes, something is wrong!" Tai said, his voice getting a bit louder, "Kari just showed up at my house in tears! She went to meet TK for lunch and found him kissing his secretary!!"
"What?" Matt practically yelled, "But…but…that can't be true!"
"Take one look at my sister and say that again." Tai said grimly.
"Look, let me talk to TK. I don't want you doing it, because knowing you, he'll probably end up missing an arm."
Tai rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to hurt him, Matt. I agree with you. TK wouldn't do something like that. Especially not to Kari."
"Right. But you know…when I talked to TK earlier, he did mention that he and Kari were having problems." Matt said.
"Hmmmm…" Tai said, "That's odd. Of all the people, ever thought anything like this would happen to them."
"No kidding." Matt agreed, "Listen, I'm going to call TK, you go take care of Kari."
"Yeah, I will. Bye Matt."
"Bye"
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~
TK sat at his desk in mild shock, not believing what had just happened. He was startled slightly when his phone started ringing, but he made no move to answer it. Finally, the answering machine kicked in and his brother's voice filled the quiet office.
"TK, I know you're there, so you'd better pick up the phone."
The young man glanced at the phone briefly before going back to ignoring it.
"Come on TK, please? I need to talk to you. She's at tai's house, and she's really upset."
TK picked up the phone, "Matt, it's not what you think! It wasn't my fault!" TK's voice cracked slightly as he added, 'I never meant to hurt her."
"I know that!" Matt exclaimed, "And so does Tai! Look, why don't you tell me what happened?"
TK recounted the entire incident to his brother up to the point where Kari drove off.
"TK, you have to tell Kari." Matt said, "She is an absolute mess right now."
"I know, but what if she won't listen me!" TK asked.
"She will." Matt assured him.
"Ok, thanks Matt, I'll go to Tai's place right away. Bye!" TK said quickly before hanging up on Matt.
Matt stared at the receiver in his hand for a moment before hanging it up slowly with a sigh, "The things I do for family….."
