Falling in Love with Words


"Ohh, Bro! You're the best!" Hikari Kamiya gazed lovingly at her computer. Is it possible to fall in love with someone just by their words? Kari believed so. For she had. It started just a few months ago...

'The Angel of Hope drifted up into the clearing sky. The young girl looked longingly up at him. Neither wanted to part with the other. Their wish did not come true, though. The angel disappeared with a blow of wind. One single feather fell down on the girls single tear damped cheek.'
"There...I'm done!" Kari sighed. Now it was time to post her story. You see, there was this site where you could post original stories. Hikari was a regular. It seemed everyone loved her stories. There also seemed to be one consistent reviewer to her stories...Another author by the pen name 'RckStrBro.' 'SocerStrSis' was also a consistent reviewer of his stories. That was Kari's alias, SocerStrSis. It was fitting, yet, never imaginable by her friends and family. It was too obvious.
Kari's brother, Taichi--a.k.a. Tai--was a great soccer player. A god to certain people--girls, really. Tai's best friend was a wannabe rock star named Yamato Ishida, a.k.a. Matt. Kari believe Matt had a younger brother, though she had never met him. Matt's brother lived with their mom in the next town or something.
Also in her circle of friends was Kari's and Tai's long time friend Sora Takenouchi. A tomboy in her younger days, now a real knock out. Kari hoped that Sora would be her Sister-In-Law one day for Tai and Sora were dating. Though, Sora always had been like her sister.
There was also Koushiro 'Izzy' Izumi. A real boy genius. He could do more with his intellect than he showed or told. Kari had a feeling her could brake into the White House or NASA or Air Force One in America if he wanted too. Kari also had reason to believe he did do some of that for kicks when he was bored. That and play Tomb Raider.
The so called 'safe' one was Joe Kido. He was allergic to everything. Or so he used to be. He had lightened up from how he used to be, though. And Hikari had seen him take risks. He wasn't bad. He was kind of cute, too. Joe was studying to become a doctor--though he used to faint at the site of blood. Joe wanted to do good with his skills in doctoring. His brother, Jim, was in South America right now. Joe was the oldest of the group at eighteen. Kari was four years younger; Tai, Matt, and Sora were one year younger; and Izzy and Mimi were two years younger than Joe.
Mimi currently resided in America, Her father had something to do with clothes, or so Kari figured. Mimi was in love with the color pink and with fashion itself. She could shop hours on end just for a pair of socks. Not to mention the girl spent hours getting ready. All in all, though, Mimi was great. She'd always tell you the truth, no matter what!
Kari occasionally place each of her friends in her stories. Though, in this one, she had focused on her own characters. Kari loaded her story then started to cruise the net if and when the reviews to her story started coming in.
A few hours later Kari was startled by the sound of an Instant Message. She was rereading one of her favorite stories from RckStrBro. Not to mention that was who the IM was from--RckStrBro. Kari gasped and quickly replied her greeting. She waited a few minutes. He wasn't saying anything. Or so it seemed. Then there was the sound of the IM. Kari looked at it. It was an extended review of her recent story! She didn't believe that she'd ever been so praised for her stories. Normally, people just commended her on her photographs or soccer skills. Then again, only the people on-line--and the occasionally Language Arts teacher--read her stories and/or poems.
They talked for hours on end--which didn't really matter because Kari was grounded for braking her latest camera her parents had given her. RckStrBro was funny, sweet, everything the perfect guy was! Kari had regret though. He had to go before she got his name.
"Aw, wittle Kari got herself a boyfwiend on-wine?" Tai teased Kari from the doorway of their bedroom.
"Aw, wittle Tai, the big, brave, soccer star, too chicken to tell Sowa he woves her?" Kari teased him right back. Tai didn't say anything else on the subject.

Kari laughed some more. RckStrBro had just finished telling her about the time he painted his cat. Bro wouldn't be on for the next week or so that much, he said. He was going on some trip. It was time for him to go so they said their good-byes. Then Tai was in the door way.
"Hey, Kari, Matt's bro is coming into two this weekend and spending the next week with Matt and their dad. I volunteered us to go with Matt ta show them around. Hope you got nothing to do Friday night. I got a date with Sora so you'll be doing the showing by yourself." Before Kari could protest Tai continued, "Matt's got a date; Izzy's going out with Yolei;" Kari muttered an 'about time' and let Tai go one. "Mimi's coming into town so Joe's spending Friday night alone with her; Cody has Kendo. Hey wait, I bet I can get Ken and Davis to go with you and TK. TK is Matt's little bro by the way. Yeah, that's it! I'll go call 'em!" Tai left without hearing one word from his sister.
Kari sighed. Davis Motomiya had a major crush on her. All in all, though, he was cool. He was a great soccer player. Davis is a lot like Tai: wild hair; goggles; rushes into things. Kari liked him and all, but not like that. Sure, she admired her brother. He was her role model after all! Kari did want someone who had some of Tai's good traits...but necessarily someone with his bad ones as well. Daivis was just a little too much like Tai for Kari to like him as a boyfriend. Though, as a brother and/or friend, she loved him with all her heart.
Ken Ichijouji was cool. Another boy genius like Iz. He was really smart. In fact, he went to a different school then Kari and some of the others. He wasn't bad looking either. Ken was also a good friend. He was great listening and helping you cope with whatever you were going through. Ken had to be the best friend that she knew in real life.
Yolei Inoue was cool, too. She, also, was pretty good with electronical stuff and so forth. Though, Izzy and Ken were slightly ahead of her. Yolei was a little boy crazy, too, but it looked like her and Izzy were finally getting together. Yolei was also one year older than Kari.
Cody Hida was acute guy. He was very mature considering he was twelve. Cody was--is--a strong guy. His grandfather teaches him kendo--plus some lessons on life. Some treated him like a little kid, but Kai never did. Never. She remembered what it was like when she was younger. In fact, a lot of people still treated her as if she were 'little.' Cody was like her little brother.
Thinking about it, Kari had a lot of brothers, really. Tai, of course, but also Matt, Izzy, Joe, Cody, and sometimes Davis and Ken as well. Kari never could get a date with all of them hovering over her. Well, Ken and Cody encouraged her to date. Her other brothers, especially Tai, didn't want anyone dated their 'baby, helpless sister.' Kari had reason to believe--to some extent, anyway--that Matt wanted Kari to like his brother, TK.

"Hey, where is this guy? Shouldn't he be here by now?" Just as Davis spoke a young teenage with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up to them.
"Davis? Ken? Kari?" The boy asked. When the three nodded the boy smiled a sweet, happy smile. "You're almost exactly as my brother described you. Well, I'm Takeru, You knew that though, right? Of course you did. Call me TK please." Kari sighed.
"Hey TK. Let's not waste any time, guys. Let's get going." Kari gently tugged at TK's arm. Ken's voice interrupted their leaving.
"Kari, slow down a bit. Let's get to know each other a little first, shall we? You grow more and more like you brother everyday..." Ken stated the last part under his breath hoping Kari wouldn't hear it. Kari glared at him while TK stared and Davis sweatdropped.
"Ken, just shut up. You know my brother's my role model, anyway. Yes, I heard your little remark," Kari added seeing Ken's slightly astonished look. The girl went on. "Here, TK, let me fill you in. I'm Kari, but you know our names so let me fill out in a little on us.
"I like photography and soccer, basically. I have way too many over protective brothers so no ex-boyfriends will be interrupting this little tour. But some would-be or wannabe boyfriends might.
"Ken, here, is a genius. Mr. Intellect No. 2. No. 1 is our friend Izzy, by the way. Ken also is a great friend and soccer player.
"Davis is a lot like my brother. He's great at soccer and rushes into things without thinking. That is, he rushes into things when thinking hurts him too much." Kari grins playfully at the slightly pouting Davis, finishing her informative session.
Ken and TK just looked at the girl. She gave a little shrug and pulled again on TK's arm. Let's go now, guys. We have stuff to do." The four headed off into have a night on the town.
