The Move
Disclamer: I dont own digimon or any of the characters in this story except Saria. She is a figment of my imagination because I didn't think Tai would go good with anyone else of the digidestined for now. Also I am trying to use the Japaneese names as much as possible and the story is from Kari's POV. Well with that said, on with the story.

Dear Diary,
I would like to tell you about my hell week.I'll start out with Sunday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mom why did you except the job? Did you even once think about us?"
"Hunny, don't talk to your mother that way." Mr. Yagami said angrily.
"Dad, she's right. I mean what am I going to tell my girlfriend?" Taichi said agreeing with his litle sister Hikari.
"At least somebody has some brains around here." Hikari said.
I still can't believe I said that about Taichi of all people.
" Taichi, Hikari, you are both moving to Indiana with me and thats that." Mrs. Yagami said.
Yep diary, we are currently livn' in good ol' Rockchester, Indiana, U.S.A. What fun It was for me to hear this (NOT).
"Kids, you better finish packing. The plane leaves tomorow.You may call your friends first though." Mr.Yagami said.
Damn it! Hikari thought to herself but aloud yelled to Taichi "I get it first to let Takeru know."
As the phone rang an operater picked up and said this number was busy."Oh well, he is probably at Yamato's apartment but I'll let Taichi call there."She mumbled outloud."I'll call the rest of my friends."
I'll sum this part up fast diary. I called Miyako, Iori, Sora, Daisuke, Ken, and since Mimi had moved back to Japan a month ago, Mimi.I also called some of my friends from school who weren't one of the chosen.
I let Taichi call the rest of the chosen children that I hadn't called, his other friends, and his girlfriend.
Taichi told me that Yamato didn't say anything about Takeru and he had forgot to ask. Just like him. Well any way, they all promised to come to the airport the next day and if they saw Takeru they would let him know.
"Good, your done on the phone. Now I can finish the last minute arrangements. Now get up and finish packing all your things. And I do mean ALL of them." Mrs. Yagami yelled to them from the master bedroom.
IN THEIR BEDROOM TAICHI AND HIKARI TALK
"Taichi, can't we stay here with dad? I don't want to go to the States."
"Sorry Hika-chan but we do have to. I don't like it anymore than you do, so your not alone."
"So what did you tell Saria? Did she take it well?" Hikari asked trying to get the pressure off of herself.
"As best as we both expected her to. Which takes me to a point about how I'm worse off then you, you dont have to lose the one you love thanks to MOM." Taichi said stressing the last word.
"I d..............." she didn't finish what she was going to say.
Yes diary, I have a reason I didnt finish what I was going to say. The truth is that I too lost the one I love thanks to mom. Yes diary, I do love Takeru and I haven't gotten a chance to tell him as I never got ahold of him that night. That brings me to the next day.
"Bye everyone. I'll miss you. Try to e-mail every day, OK."Taichi and Hikari yelled to their friends. Only one thing was wrong, Takeru wasn't there. That sure took away Hikari's hope.
"Yamato, where's Takeru? I thought you were gonna give him a ride here?" Hikari asked angrily.
I was going to tell him then. Now I may not ever get a chance to tell him at least in person. Damn you mom. Why the hell did you have to go and do this. I don't think it would be so bad if dad was coming to but he is staying there at least for now because he doesn't think mom will last to long in the States. I hope he's right but if he's not then in 5 months dad will be living with us.
Whoops, I'm getting off track. Here's what happend next.
"Don't know. Door was locked so I assumed he already left." Yamato replied. Upset that the original leader, his best friend, and the keeper of the crest of light, his brother's best friend, were leaving them in a matter of minutes.
"Oh" Hikari said softly. That's all she could say.
"Hikari, HIKARI! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME.YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO DON'T LEAVE ME." a voice called out from behind Hikari.
That could only be one person Hikari thought as she grimaced. "DAISUKE, I HAVE TO LEAVE THANKS TO MY MOM."
I had made sure my mom heard that part. But no I couldn't just leave it at that. I had to go and break Dasuke's heart, I kinda feel bad 'bout it now, oh well he'll get over it eventually.
"AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU LOVE ME. THAT'S NOT GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU."
Every one turned and looked back and forth from a pissed Hikari to an about ready to cry Daisuke. It was a sight to see.
"HIKARI, I can't believe you said that to poor Daisuke. I'm ashamed of you." Mrs. Yagami screamed at her daughter not caring about the crowd.
"Your ashamed of me? YOUR ASHAMED OF ME!?!? I have put up with Daisuke for as long as I have with him stalking me every single day. He acts just like his sister Jun. I can put up with moving to America because when I become legally an adult I'm moving back here. I'm BARELY managing to hold the fact that my BEST FRIEND isn't here and that I havn't talked to him since a week ago. But to have you YELLING AT ME in public for a reason that is pointless I CAN NOT stand. I don't ever want to hear your voice again do you hear me, let alone live in the same house as you. I would actully like living with Daisuke better than you." She exploded into tears after finishing.
I still can't belive I did that and it has been a week since moving. You never know what you'll do when your upset. This next part makes it all even better.
After catching her breath, which was very quickly, Hikari took off running away from the airport gate. She could hear her friends and brother running after her and probably her parents too.
She did eventually run out of breath again and with Taichi being the one best in shape, he caught up to her first.
"What the hell is wrong with you Sis?" he yelled at her.
"Nothing OK, I just dont want to go. Especially without saying goodbye to Takeru-chan. Onnisan, I don't think I can stand being in the same place with mom right now."
"We'll talk about this later ok, we've got to get to the gate."
"But..."
"No buts, let's get going, I'll switch mom spots so you can sit by me instead."
"Fine." Hikari said knowing when she was defeated. "But if mom says one word to me from now until we move in "our house" I WILL kill her."
"Don't worry Hikari, I'll warn her." Taichi replied laughing.
Well,Taichi did do what he said he would and I did talk to him on the airplane a little. Most of the trip though I didn't talk but read, wrote, drew, took pictures of the outside world with my digital camera, and tried to watch the airline movie.
I didn't know what to think of the movie but from the English I know,which is very little since we just started it in school, and by the looks of it, I knew it was a sappy romance for women. Just what I needed huh.
By the time I did all that stuff, the plane was getting ready to land and I had cooled off some. SOME IS THE KEYWORD THERE.
"Finally, I didn't think that this damn trip would ever end." Hikari said in Japaneese.
"Kari, watch your language and speak in English from now on." Mrs. Yagami said. "That goes for you to Tai." She said this all in well spoken English. "Tai?" Taichi said in Japaneese.
"Kari?" Hikari said also in Japaneese.
"English?" They both said both still in Japaneese.
"That's right children, those are the names you will go by here.That is what you will be called from now on. You are registered under those names. And you HAVE TO speak in English from now on." Mrs. Yagami said this in Japaneese.
"Mom, Hika...I mean KARI and I don't know English very well. I know it as a second language but only the basics and KARI knows less then I do." Taichi stated in Japaneese still.
"Well then you and her's going to have to do the best she can." Mrs. Yagami stated as though Hikari wasn't even there.
"Taichi, ask mom where our house is will ya'." Hikari asked.
"Tell her Rockchester."
"She says..."
"I heard her."
"But you asked me to ask her for ....................oh never mind. Hikari, when are you going to talk to mom again?" Taichi asked.
"As soon as we are on a plain headin to Japan."
"Ok, let's change the subject, how do we get to our house? We don't have a car."
"Taichi, there is a thing called a taxi you know." Hikari stated.
"Oh yea, I guess I just forgot Hikari."
"How like you." Hikari said while laughing.
That was the first time in days that I had laughed. Tai was always trying to cheer me up that day and I him. The car trip was preety much boring. We didn't ride a taxi like I had thought we would, it turned out that mom really did plan ahead. She already had a our *new* American car waiting for us in the airport parkinglot.
Mom should have taken a lesson on American driving though. She did most of her research but she didn't know how Americans drove.
Mrs.Yagami was about to pull out onto the road when Taichi yelled at her. "Mom!Your on the wrong side of the road."
"I am not. Look, I'm on the left just like I'm supposed to be."
"You drive on the RIGHT here Mother." Hikari spoke the first words to her mother the whole trip. "Even I knew that."
"Well, she speaks. About time." Mrs.Yagami said.
"How long til we're at the house mom? "Taichi asked. "I want to hook up me and KARI's computers."
"We're here." Mrs.Yagami said happily.
"Whoa TAI, this house is big." Hikari said.
Taichi and Hikari refused to speak english the entire trip even to their mother.
