Connections Revealed

Adjusting

Takato stood out on Yamaki's balcony and stared in awe of the view. He could see almost the entire city. The view was simply breath taking. `Man Rika would love this.' He thought. Suddenly Takato realized that he had not told Rika or Henry where he was staying. Quickly he rushed over to the phone.

The Nonaka Residence….

Rika frowned as she turned the tv on. She had not heard from Takato since he had left for his home earlier. As she switched around Rika stopped on a news program. A picture of a collapsed bakery was behind the newscaster. Not paying attention to it, Rika was about to switch when she heard the name Matsuki mentioned.

"Today was a tragic day for the Matsuki family when their family's bakery was destroyed. Experts are saying that a broken gasline is responsible. There were no survivors except the family's young son, Takato."

"Grandma!" Rika shouted.

Seiko came running into the room when she heard her granddaughter's shout.

"Rika what's wrong?" she asked.

Shaking, Rika merely pointed to the television. Seiko paled as she realized what the news cast was about. Now she realized why Rika had called her. Hearing the phone ring Seiko went to answer it. `That poor boy.' She thought as she picked up the phone.

"Hello is Rika there?"

Seiko blinked as she recognized Takato's voice.

"Just one moment Takato. Rika it's for you." Seiko said handing the phone to Rika. "It's Takato."

Rika grabbed the phone. "Gogglehead? Where are you? Yamaki's, your kidding. Listen meet me in the park, our usual spot."

Hanging up the phone Rika grabbed her d-arc and cards. As she walked to the door she turned to her grandmother.

"I'm going to meet Takato at the park."

Seiko nodded. "Have a good time dear. And give Takato my condolences."

Rika nodded and left. As she walked to the park questions kept burning in her head. How had Takato's parent's died? And why was he now living with Yamaki of all people. `Gogglehead you better have some good answers.' She thought.

Inside the shed that had been Guilmon's home, Takato waited for Rika to show. He could tell from his conversation with her over the phone that Rika was angry. `And concerned.' Takato thought to himself.

"All right goggles I want some answers." Rika demanded walking into the shed.

With a sigh Takato told Rika what had happened when he had left her house. When he had finished, Rika hugged him and asked if he would he would be alright.

Takato chuckled "I'll be fine Rika. It's just going to take some time adjusting that's all."

"Just don't forget I am here to help you when you need me." Rika said.

"I know." Grinned Takato.

Elsewhere….

"So the boy has not succumbed yet. Then I shall have to confront the hybrid myself. Hmm. Those devas have been after that friend of his Calumon. Yes, why not use the little puff ball as bait. Just wait Takato Matsuki, when we truly meet it shall be in the digital world. Ha ha ha!" laughed Mephistimon.
