Harry's New Game Plus Vol 2 by kurokitsune028

Chapter 96

Harry, Nejire and Eri arrived to the Kamiya's household and went to Tai's room, there they found Tai cleaning his soccer shoes, they all sat around him and just rested while he did his thing, thoigh soon enough, Nejire lay down with her head on Harry's lap, which had him smiling at her in amusement, Kari soon arrived home as well and Eri immediately ran to her, and gave her a big hug, which had Kari happily smiling.

Both then went to Kari's room so she could change, a few moments later, Kari walked into Tai's room with Eri, she quickly smiled at Harry and Nejire in greeting and then took a seat in Tai's computer chair, with Eri sat on her lap and leaned back so she Kari could hug her, which she did.

Kari then relaxed for a few moments, and then suddenly began to speak "I saw a whole side of you Tai, thay dau we all were all talking after Ogremon came to the Real world".

Tai continued to clean his shoes but did respond to Kari's words, though he had an idea what she meant "yeah? why's that?".

Kari hugged Eri like a teddy bear even more than she already was doing and then said "what you said the other day, about Joe wanting to come but couldn't".

Tai stopped cleaning his shoes and looked up at his sister, who then began to speak her thoughts about the situation "I think that Joe is still trying to figure things out, so why don't you go and talk to him?".

Tai looked down and went back to cleaning his shoes, though he narrowed his eyes as he though about Kari's question for a few second, before just saying "just let it go".

Kari looked confused at Tai's response, she could really understand why Tai seemed to want to stay out of the situationwith Joe, so she questioned him "but Tai?"

Tai sighed and then explained himself "it's clear that there's things he doesn't want to face".

Kari rested her head on top of Eri's and sighed "you really think that includes being one of us, being one of the Digidestined?".

Tai looked at his soccer shoes in silence for a few moments and then said "look, if I talk to him, he'll have to face it and that might drive him futher away".

Kari nodded, she now understood her bothers thoughts about Joe, he was of coursewprried for him, but it seems that Joe needs time to think or at least, that's what Tai believe, she then turned her head towards Harry "and you? why haven't you gone to see Joe? I'm sure if you speak to him, he'll come around".

Harry nodded and then smiled at Kari "that's exactly why I haven't spoken to him yet, and why I told you guys not to tell him I'm back.

Joe is already an adult, I can't keep holding his hand and tell him what to do, if I do that he'll grow to eventually resent me for it, no, I have to let him come to his own answers and decisions, ao he can make the right choices for himself.

I have faith in him, on all of you, but you're not longer children, Kari, and at some point, you're all going to have to make these kinds of decisions, sure, if you come to me and ask for help, I'll gladly do so, but, it has to be your choice".

Kari nodded, and looked down towards Eri, who was looking up at her "what about you Eri? what should we do?".

Eri smiled at Kari and then said "popcorn and a movie?"
