The spell of the black angel

T.K. lay in his bed, comfortable in his sheets, continuously thinking about Kari although he wanted to get lots of sleep for a fresh start as there was a DigiDestined reunion the next day. It was only the case that he really cared for her, and day by day she became more attractive in his eyes. She was breathtaking and very beautiful, and his only wish was her confession of care for him. She did care for him and he knew that himself, so he was excited about knowing that she had to confess someday, and fantasizing that it would be tomorrow.

He opened his eyes and looked at the small bundle of fluff sound asleep beside him. Patamon, his best friend (besides Kari), the only one in the universe who protected him like… a guardian angel. He raised a hand and gently stroked Patamon's body. Patamon flinched and twitched in comfort for a moment, and he was as calm as the clouds once more.

T.K. snuggled into his sheets, thinking about Angemon and Angewomon. If they weren't so sacred they would have been absolutely perfect together. But then he thought of how much Kari loved Angewomon, and he didn't know what would happen if any sort of disagreement happened between Angemon and Angewomon. He cringed and sunk deeper into his sheets, trying not to think about it.

Meanwhile, Kari lay on her bed, thinking about T.K. at the same time. She began to like him in the way she thought she did, for a thirteen-year-old. Her face turned a bright red as the image of his perfect face popped up in her mind.

"What are you thinking about, Kari?" Gatomon asked as she lay beside her.

"Nothing, Gato."

"Oh, come on. Out with it. You know you can't keep secrets from me, I'm your best friend."

"Uh… well… I'm thinking about… about food."

"That's a lie! I saw you blushing. There's nothing embarrassing about food."

"Yeah… well I'm embarrassed because… I've eaten four main courses today and I'm still hungry. Boy, am I gonna get fat… he, he…" (sarcastic laugh)

"No you didn't! You only ate a bowl of rice and some chicken for dinner. Cough it up! What were you thinking about?"

"Must I? Am I really obligated to tell you?"

"Yep."

A sigh of despair escaped Kari. "…T.K."

There was a brief silence, then Gatomon burst out laughing. "Aah, I see… Why exactly were you thinking about him?"

"Well… you see…"

"…Because he likes you or because you like him?"

Kari pursed her lips, deep in thought. "…A bit of both, I admit. To be honest with you… I wish he'd confess he likes me, because he knows it, and I know it, but he's not doing it. And I'm not too comfortable with making the move."

"Aah, I understand. Good luck. Romeo must admit his feelings for Juliet one day, and it'll come eventually, don't you worry. Let's go to sleep, we have to wake early for our reunion camp tomorrow. In fact, he might even confess tomorrow, if you're lucky."

Kari gave a small and secret smile. "Keep it a secret. Goodnight, Gato."

"I shall, Kari. You can trust me. Goodnight."

"Aah, is that so?" Devimon talked to himself as he looked into a dish of crystal waters into T.K.'s thoughts and Kari's conversation with Gatomon. "Well, I've got surprises in store for you, DigiDestined! Once I permanently tear you apart you will no longer have the combined power to stay in my way!"

"I'll be there tomorrow, master," Ogremon bowed before him.

"Good. You know what to do, don't you? The DigiDestined will be there tomorrow for their reunion. Don't fail me. This is one of the only chances we have of tearing them apart; that's when they're all together. And I will have revenge on that blasted Angemon for my defeat so long ago. I am the black angel and I rule the world of shadows and darkness. Any angels of light will pay if they dare stand in my way."

"Who do you think should be the next victim, master?"

"I shall make Angewomon my temporary guinea pig. She and Angemon shall be torn apart, causing their trainers to fight. That will go on to their brothers, their girlfriends, and so on, one by one until they dare not work together even for someone else's sake."

Ogremon eyed Devimon for a moment. Devimon looked back at him and projected a sinister smile.

"Aah! What beautiful sunshine!" Sora sighed in comfort, dancing in the flowery plains of the DigiWorld, holding Tai's hand and dragging him along the ground as she did.

"I'm glad I could come," said Ken humbly as he sat on the picnic mat, absorbing the warmth of the sunlight, and going with the flow of the breeze.

"You're a DigiDestined, Ken, that makes you one of us. This is where you belong," Davis smiled at his soccer idol.

Everyone began to chat wildly and didn't notice T.K. and Kari walking off to find some privacy. They finally found a fairly secluded spot and looked at the view of the fields as they leant against a tree.

"T.K.," Kari began.

'Oh no,' T.K.'s knees began to wobble wildly. 'Is she gonna confess she likes me? I think she's gonna ask me out. Oh, man! What do I do? What do I say?'

"What do you think of Angewomon?"

T.K. anime sweatdropped and fell onto the ground. "Well…" he began.
