Disclaimer: Just if you didn't know, I don't own digimon; this means I do not own the characters either.
This is my very first Takari. If you don't like Takari, then don't read it; it's as simple as that. Or, you can read it and realize that Takari is awesome and that it's the way it should be :D . Either way, this story is not going to have digimon in it. Yes, the characters in the story have gone on all the adventures as in the shows, but their digimon partners will not be a part of this book. Also, just to let you know, the story starts out 6 months after TK moved to America.
I hope you enjoy the read! (Review please!)
Chapter 1:
It had been six months now since TK had moved away to America. The initial depression that had come when TK had first told her the news was over by now. She was actually surprised that they had kept a strong relationship despite the distance between her and her lover. They always talked over the phone at least once a week, they texted every day, and sometimes TK would send an occasional letter. He was indeed the perfect boyfriend.
"Kari?"
"Yes, TK."
"I just want you to know that I miss you so much. I'm sorry I had to come here to America with my mother."
"TK, it's not your fault you had to leave. I'm very sad you had to go; I miss you very much, but for now there is nothing we can do."
TK sighed.
"True, but I wish I could just book a plane ticket back to Odaiba."
"Well, then get a job, lazy."
Kari heard him laugh.
"I might just have to."
TK paused for a second, and Kari could here his mother yelling at him, probably telling him to get off the phone and go to bed.
"Ughhh, that's my mom. I got to go now. I love you Kari."
"Love you too TK."
With that, they hung up their phones. Yes, it was very difficult having a long-distance relationship, but what other choice was there? She wasn't about to move to America anytime soon, and TK wasn't going to move back to Odaiba unless her mom decided that they were. She sighed out of helplessness; the only boy she loved was an ocean away, and there was nothing she could do to bring him back. Tired, she flopped down onto her bed and closed her eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.
"Mom, are we ever moving back to Odaiba? I miss dad and Matt; I miss my friends, especially Kari. Please tell me we are moving back soon."
"TK, I know this must be hard for you, but there is no way we are going back to Odaiba any time soon. Unless I find a new job there, we most likely will never move back there again."
"But mom…"
"TK you sound like you're five again."
He shook his head, annoyed with his mother. Didn't she know how hard it was for a fifteen year old to move away from what had been his home since he was born? It was hard making friends here in America. His new life here had not smiled upon him, and not one day went by where he didn't miss his old one. He knew, however, that Kari was right; there was nothing he could do to get back to Odaiba. Frustrated and tired, he told his mother,
"Well, I'm going to head to bed. Goodnight!"
"Goodnight TK."
He entered his room and checked his phone before going to bed. He had one new message. It was from Kari.
"I love you."
He smiled and closed his eyes.
(Six months later)
"TK, this is too hard for me!"
"Kari, we've been doing fine for over a year now. What is up?"
Had it only been a year? It had seemed like a century since TK had moved away. She stayed faithful to him all this time with no problem, but now the pressure of a long distance relationship was starting to overwhelm her.
"I.. I just can't do this anymore."
"What do you mean you can't do this anymore? Kari, you aren't breaking up with me are you?"
"TK, I'm really sorry. I tried, I really did, but I can't do this anymore. I constantly am overwhelmed with depression because you're not here. I know it's not your fault; maybe we just weren't met to be. I'm sorry TK, but it's over."
"Kari…"
She didn't listen to what he had to say, though. She hung up the phone and instantly found herself crying. What has gotten into me? How could I do that to him? I do love him, I think. If I loved him then how could I be so mean to him? She couldn't handle it anymore. Dialing the all-too familiar number, she put her phone back to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Yolei?"
"Kari! What's up?"
"Yolei, I… I broke up with TK."
Yolei gasped.
"What? Why? What did he do?"
"He didn't do anything. I called it off. I just… I just couldn't handle not seeing him. I was becoming too… depressed without him here. I figured… I figured it was best to just end it."
"I see. Are you ok? Do you want me to come over?"
"No, no. I'll be fine. I just… needed someone to talk to."
"You called the right friend Kari. I'm always here to listen when you need me!"
"Thank Yolei, it means a lot."
"Not a problem."
"Well, I better get to bed. We do have school tomorrow."
"Ok. See you tomorrow."
"Night Yolei!"'
She hung up the phone. Tears were still falling, but she felt a lot better. She hoped that TK wasn't taking this too hard. She continued thinking about what she had done, and closed her eyes.
"TK what's wrong?"
His mother had come into his room when she had started hearing him cry. TK was siting on his bed, tears streaming out of his eyes. Two years, it would have been two years that they were together in two day's time. That was all over, though. Kari,his one true love, had broken up with him.
"I can't help you if you don't talk to me," his mother said while sitting down next to him.
"It's… it's Kari. She… just broke up with me."
"Oh, TK."
Her mother sat next to him and placed her arm around him. He cried and cried until there were no more tears. Her mother was rubbing his back, trying to comfort him with her words. He found no comfort, though, just pain.
"Why, mom? Why did she do that? She could have just eased me out of it, but no, she ended abruptly. How could she do that to me after all this time?"
"TK, relationships are a tough thing. Some just don't work out. I'm sorry we had to move here to America, but we had no choice; I couldn't lose my job. I'm sure you will find another girl. I know it may seem tough and you may not want to, but I think it's best if you just move on."
TK nodded. He knew that what his mom had said was right, but he didn't want to move on. He didn't want to forget Kari and all the times that they had spent together. He wanted to continue to be with her, even if she didn't want to be with him. Kari had thrown it all away, though. Not only did she throw away nearly two years of a relationship away, she threw twelve years of a friendship away, and for that, TK could not forgive her. His sadness turned to anger. How could she, after all they had been through, just throw away everything? That was it. TK vowed that he was never going to have anything to do with Kari, or the other digidestineds, ever again.
