Like Father like Son.
Chapter one.
::CLICK:: "Good Morning Odaiba high, it is 6:45 in the morning and the sun is shining bri"::THUMP::
Damn alarm clock Was the first thing that entered Takeru Takaishi's head. He rose from bed, trying to get his bearings, looking around he remembered that he was staying at his dad's for the week, and the Matt was at their mom's. Grabbing a pair of boxer shorts to switch into after his shower Tk set out across the hurricane site his brother called a room for the bathroom. When he had made it to the apartment's main living area he saw his father passed out at the kitchen table over a stack of papers, a used ashtray and empty liquor bottle rested near by, Nothing… just an over-working alcoholiv smoker who can't keep his family together, Tk tried to brush the thoughts away, but they didn't leave him until the warm water was cascading down his back and the images of his father were replaced by a different person in his life. She had hazel eyes and short chestnut brown hair. Hikari Kamiya, the one girl Tk had ever loved, more than anything in the world, Takeru Takaishi wanted to be with her. But that can never happen, I can't risk it, if I ended up like my dad.. I would hurt her so much… I'm sorry Kari,
……………………………………………………..
At eight o'clock in the morning Kari strolled down the side walk to Odaiba high. Kari was dressed in a light pink Tanktop and white shorts, and she almost seemed to glide across the ground, I don't care what I have to do, by tomorrow I'm making sure Tk knows how I feel. But, what if he turns me down, Matt's said that he thinks Tk likes me, but if that's true why hasn't Tk asked me himself, argh! Stop thinking like this girl, You've got to take the risk otherwise you may never get to be with Tk, As these thoughts moved through her head Kari noticed a very familiar boy with blond hair, who was wearing a white bucket hat, yellow and green shirt and tan shorts, TK!! Kari ran up after her friend and clinged onto one of his arms, 'Hi Tk,"
Tk was startled to see Kari and even more startled to see the way she grabbed onto him and he was shure he just turned several shades of red in two seconds flat, "Uh.. hey Kari!"
Not one who missed little details Kari noticed Tk's reaction and had to stop from shouting with joy He does like me! "Walk me to school?"
"Sure, I'm heading there anyway,"
"Great!" Kari strung her arm around Tk's waist and rested her head on his shoulder as the two walked to school and once again Tk was sure he was aas red as a tomato, Oh lord, Here I am walking to school, with Hikari Kamiya leaning against me, maybe I should ask her.. no, I can't.
The two arrived at school and went there separate ways, Kari noticed that Tk was rather quiet on the walk there, Why was he so uncomfortable?
*************************************************************
Kari sat in her desk, waiting for class to start and unable to think of anything but Tk. She never even noticed Davis come up beside her, "Hey Kari,"
"Whu?! oh, Hi Davis," replied the brunnette, snapping from her trance,
"What's with you?" Asked Davis, concerned for his friend he pulled up a chair and sat down beside her"
Kari sighed, knowing full well that Davis wouldn't leave her alone, even if Davis had gotten over her and was now dating Yolei, he still cared alot for her. "It's nothing Davis, just.. guy troubles, you wouldn't be able to help." Her words didn't seem to calm Davis, confuse him a little, yes, but calm him no. "I'm sorry to hear that Kari, you're still coming to the school picnic tomorrow?"
In truth Kari had forgotten about it, Tomorrow was the date set for Odaiba high's annual picnin where all the students and there families cam and hung out, ate barbequed food and played games, it really would be a good time to ask Tk, "Yeah," She replied with a new happiness" Yeah, I'll be there Davis"
"Great!" It was the last thing Davis said before class started.
*************************************************************
Tk turned the key to his Dad's apartment, inside the place was empty and Tk found a note on the kitchen counter,
Tk, I'm going to be working late tonight, There's some tv dinners in the fridge, don't forget to get some sleep for the picnic tomorrow,
Love , Dad.
Tk let out a groan, he had forgotten about the picnic, how could he survive being so close to Kari, and the way she was acting towards him that morning didn't help. What am I supposed to do, I can't risk hurting her, she means too much to me,
*************************************************************
The next day came fast and Tk found himself exiting the car with his Dad, "I'm gonna go hang out with Davis and Ken, kay Dad?"
"Sure son, I'll be talking with Mr. Kamiya and Mr. Takenouchi."
And so the family went there separate ways. Tk saw the entire gang was there, except for Mimi and Willace, who were in america every one of there group was there, it was actually kind of heart-warming. "Hey guys," greeted Tk as he joined them. The party went really smoothly with Tai and Davis winning the Egg on a spoon race and Ken and Tk winning the three legged race. By now it was time for lunch and the gang sat down on blankets laid across the grass with barbequed hot dogs. Kari came and sat beside Tk, Leaning up against him, Shocking everyone around them Kari then kissed Tk on the cheek and said "we need to talk,"
Tk shot to his feet, knocking over their food, backing away from Kari, shaking his head. "No... Kari I'm sorry, I wish you could understand.. but... please, just stay away from me from now on," He then turned and walked off. Kari was shocked, she couldn't stop her eyes from welling with tears and she buried her face in Tai's shoulder. Matt stood and chased after his brother with their father not so far behind, "Tk! Tk wait, what do you think you're doing!? I thought you liked Kari?"
Tk turned on his brother in rage, "Damnit Matt, Why don't you just stay the hell out of my own buisness!?"
By this time Tk and Matt's father had gotten up beside Matt "Takeru! Don't talk to your brother like that, Now what is wrong with you?"
With eyes full of tears Tk glared at his dad, "You want to know what's wrong with me Dad, You really want to know, fine I'll tell you. I can't go out with Kari, I won't let myself be with the one girl I love, why? Because I'm terrified, That's right Dad, I'm scared shitless that I'll turn out just like you!!!!!" Unable to stop his tears or face his friends Tk turned and Ran off,
His father stood, unsure of what to do or say, "He's...afraid.. afraid of ending up like...me?"
To be continued.
