Desire and Sorrow Part 1

TK sat there in the dark by the blazing campfire. Watching all of his friends and their digimon companions huddled against each other fast asleep. Patamon was there, crouched up beside him. He then turned his head and shot a glance at Kari sleeping beside Gatomon. He thought to himself 'she looks so beautiful when she sleeps, almost like an angel' then a tear ran down his cheek. He still couldn't believe the events that took place in the past week. He would never forget what had happened. It was still hurting him inside. The pain that lingered in his aching heart felt like a thousand swords piercing through him. He hated having this pain; he couldn't get rid of it. He still remembers it as if it were yesterday…

* * * * * * *

TK sat there in science class daydreaming again… about a lot of things, Patamon, His brother, His Mom and Dad, His adventure in the DigiWorld, Kari… he especially thought about Kari, a lot. He looked at her from across the room. He was completely infatuated with her. He had no idea why he felt this way. They had been best friends for a long time. He admired everything about her, the way her smile brightens up the most gloomiest of days, the way her silky hair glistens in the sunlight, the way her crimson red eyes sparkled, the way…

"TK!!!!!!" The teacher yelled as he slammed the ruler down on his desk.

"Uh, wha!?" he uttered, as he tipped over in his chair.

The class stared at him as they laughed hysterically. Though Kari had a very concerned look on her face. TK got up and brushed himself off. He blushed gigantically as everyone gazed at him. He was so embarrased.

"Just what do you think you were doing Mr. Takaishi?" The teacher questioned.

"Oh, sorry Mr. Peri, I guess I just sort of dozed off"

"Well, see that it does not happen again, anyway class, back to our discussion on the solar system…"

'Yeah, nice going idiot! You just made a complete fool out of yourself in front of the enire class! And Kari!' TK thought to himself.

The bell finally rang and everyone rushed out the door. TK was the first out so that nobody would make smart remarks about what happened in class today. Still, everyone bombarded him with tons of shrewd dialogue. TK felt really bad and hurt. Kari finally caught sight of him.

"Hey! TK, Wait up!" She yelled as she was running to catch up with him.

TK, with a depressed look on his face, looked back and saw the brown haired girl running, trying to catch up with him. He looked away, kind of shyly and distressed.

"Oh, he-hello Kari, How are you today?"

"I'm fine, thanks for asking, are you okay?"

"Not really" he said.

"Listen, about what happened in science class today, I think what the class did to you was unfair and wrong. But cheer up! I bet the whole thing will blow over by tomorrow."

"Thanks Kari"

He smiled at her. She seemed to know the right thing to say at moments like these. That's another thing he loved about her. Her upright, positive and caring personality.

"No problem, Takeru!" She teased. She knew that TK didn't like being called Takeru.

TK sighed and then said to Kari…

"Listen, I 'm going over to Izzy's apartment to brush up on my science course, the coach said he would kick me off the basketball team if I couldn't bring my grade, anyways, would you like to go?"

"Sorry TK, I've got other plans for tonight, maybe next time. Okay?"

"Alright" he sad a little diappointed.

"Alright TK, see ya!"

"Bye!"

TK started walking towards Izzy's apartment as he thought about Kari again. He couldn't stop, was he in love with her? He couldn't help but wonder. 'yes', he thought to himself. 'It has to be love'

"Wow, I'm in love with Kari" he thought to himself happily. But then a frown grew on his face.

"But how will I ever be able to tell her that?"

Just then, he spotted his friend, Daisuke, across the dtreet from where he was. He looked as if he were in a rush to get somewhere

"Hey Daisuke!" TK yelled, waving for him to come him over.

"Oh hey, TK! Sorry, I can't talk now, I'm kinda late for something important, but I'll talk to you later, see ya!" Daisuke said as he sped off in the direction that Kari went.

TK looked at his watch. "7:20 P.M. Oh man, I was supposed to be at Izzy's apartment 20 minutes ago!"

So that he wouldn't waste time, he started running to Izzy's house, though he still thought about Kari. He finally reached the apartment and rang the doorbell. Izzy's mother answered the door.

"Hello Mrs. Izumi, Is Izzy home?"

"Oh, hello TK, yes, he's been expecting you" she said.

Mrs. Izumi led TK towards Izzy's room. TK spotted Izzy on his laptop (As usual).

"Hey Izzy, what's up?"

"Oh, hello TK, I was just downloading some sattilite pictures of nebulas on the internet."

"Oh, Okay, shall we get started?"

"Sure, let me just finish, It wont take longer than 5 minutes."

"Okay."

About 5 minutes later. They were reading TK's science textbooks, as Tk dozed off again.

"So what's the answer to this question TK?"

"TK?"

"TK!!!!!!"

"Hmmmm…wha? Kari?"

"No TK, It's me, Izzy, WAKE UP!!!!"

"AHHH, Oh, Izzy, It's just you, sorry. I guess I sorta dozed off"

"Sorta dozed off!! This is the 5th time tonight!You're acting strangely, Is there something bothering you TK?" he asked.

"No, of course not, why would say that?"

"Other then the fact that you were 20 minutes late for our scheduled meeting, the fact that you've been acting peculiar and fell asleep about 5 times ever since you got here! Well then I guess that nothing is wrong is it?" Izzy said in a sarcastic tone.

"Alright, Alright! Something is wrong!"

"What's eating you TK?"

"It's just that……."

"What?"

"Izzy, have you ever loved someone, but didn't have the guts to tell them?"

"So that's what's been bothering you. Well, TK, I am not so sure on this subject, who is the person you're lusting after?"

"Um…. It's….Kari"

"Oh, I see, Well TK, It seems to me that you're infatuated with Kari"

"Right!"

"And you're afraid to tell her because you feel that she may not love you back"

"Right! Exactlty! So what should I do?"

"Well TK……………………………. I haven't the slightest clue"

"Oh" TK said disappointed

"Well, the best approach is to bite the bullet and tell Kari how you really feel about her. You'll never know unless you tell her."

"You know what Izzy, You're right!" TK then heads for the door.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"To tell the woman I care about most in this world that I love her!"

"But what about our lesson?"

It was already too late, TK had already sped out the door. Izzy sighed and then suddenly heard a incessant beeping sound coming from his computer. He opened it up. He had e-mail. He was shocked at the information he had witnessed, and he knew what he had to do. He got his phone book and started to dial on his phone…………..

* * * * * *

TK had run all the way without stopping and finally reached the Kamiya residence. He rang the doorbell. Tai answered .

"Hey there….Tai……is……Kari…..home?" He said panting and taking a breath every second.

"Hey TK, How's it goin' boy you look tired, anyways Kari's not here, why? Is there something wrong?"

"No…..Do you…..know……where she…..went?" still breathing deeply.

"Yeah TK, she left with Daisuke about a half hour ago, they went to the park I think" he said scratching his head.

"Thanks." TK said as he ran towards the park.

"Wow, that was weird." Tai then heard the phone ring, he picked it up and heard Izzy's voice.

"Hey Izzy, what's up?"

"Tai, I'm glad I got a hold of you, listen, very carefully…..Do you and Kari Still have your Digivices and Crests?'

"Sure Izzy, we still got em' Why?"

"Great, I need your help Tai, I need you to call Matt, Sora and Mimi. I'll try to call Joe, Matt and TK."

"But why?"

"Just call them Tai and tell them to meet at the park tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 P.M. with their Crests and Digivices."

"Wait Izzy, calm down, tell me what's wrong."

"I'll explain everything tomorrow Tai, just start calling them."

"Ok Izzy, you got me, but at least tell me something."

"Well Tai, I can tell you this, we may be meeting up with some old friends very soon."

* * * * * *

TK ran around the entire park area trying to search for them, but still no luck.

"Damn, where can they be?"

He finally spotted them on the bridge together…..holding hands! He decided to conceal himself behind a tree so that he wouldn't be spotted.

'What are they doing here?' TK thought and wondered to himself. He listened in carefully to their conversation. He had no idea that the next thing he saw and heard would effect so harshly and deeply……..

"I love you Hikari Kamiya" Daisuke said

"I love you too, Daisuke." They both then leaned forward and gave a passionate kiss to one another.

At this moment, TK was crying his heart out, the woman he loved and his friend were in love with each other, TK felt horrible, as if his heart were ripped from his chest and shredded into tiny pieces. He could no longer stand the idea or the sight of the person he cared for the most in this world in love with someone else. TK then walked the rest of the way home. He reached his home and opened the door. His mother was already asleep. That was good, now she wouldn't ask all these questions on why he was out so late at night.

TK dressed for bed with a melancholy and teary eyed look on his face. He finally went to bed and cried himself to sleep. His mind filled with questions of why. He would be totally unprepared on what tomorrow's events would bring……….. To Be Continued
