Disclaimers: I do not own
Digimon, so please don't be mad at me for anything, it's only for fun
I couldn't put myself to use the real names of the characters, I mean the Japanese names, because it seemed abnormal to me since I live in America and only seen it in English. Please bare with me. LOL
This is a KariXT.K. and YoleiXKen fic, so
people who don't like these pairings, live with it or just don't read my work
(even if that would make me really really really sad because it's the first
time I've even posted on fanfiction.net. If you want me to continue, tell me
about it. :P

Chapter 1
Minus
one
It's been so long since they had
gone to the DigitalWorld, Davis was starting to get bored. The good thing was
that Demiveemon kept staying with him even thought he didn't have anything to
do with the other world anymore.
The
little monster was munching on a chocolate bare, not seeing the bored look on
Davis's face.
The DiTerminal was not ringing as much as it used to, he didn't see the others as much as he used to. School was the only place he could meet them once in a while, but just a quick hello was not always enough. Hell, he even missed T.K.! That wasn't good.
"Well,
at least he's not with Kari."
Letting
out an other sigh, he eyed his Digimon whom was still eating like a pig, as
usual. And he didn't feel like eating himself, something had to be wrong with
him.
That's
when the DiTerminal rang. Grunting, he picked himself up and reached for it.
"What is it this time, another picnic?"
As
long as he remembered, picnics were the only reason Yolei could find herself to
see Ken. Couldn't she see him alone or something? He was tired of having to
meet her, Cody and Ken all the time, he wanted to see Kari. Yolei wasn't the
most calm one, and he was depressed these days. She didn't help with her "happy
happy joy joy" personality.
He
was surprised by what he saw, it wasn't Yolei at all.
Demiveemon
jumped on his back and looked at the terminal. "What is it Davis?" Closing the
terminal and turned to Demiveemon with a huge grin on his face.
"It's
Izzy, there's something wrong with the DigitalWorld!" Almost jumping in
happiness, Davis picked his goggles up and ran out of his room pulling
Demiveemon behind him to make it seem, as always, that it was some kind of new
teddy bear to his family.
His
sister stopped him in front of the door with a threatening look. "I know where
you're going Davis! You're going to see Matt am I right?"
He
pushed her aside. "Get out of my way! I'm going to see Kari!" He ran out almost
closing the door on his sister's nose who was still yelling she knew he was
meeting T.K.'s brother.
***
It had been so long they had seen each other, the DigitalWorld's problem meant nothing to them for one minute. Besides, a couple of hugs to each other wouldn't hurt and some people wouldn't mind getting close to Kari.
Yolei was dancing around with Kari in her arms. "Ah! Ah! Kari! It's been so long! Why won't you call me?" Kari just smiled sweetly. "Why don't you?", she answered as she then started to giggle.
Yolei had a puzzled look on her face. "Hey, you're right. Why didn't I?" Kari was laughing her head out, Yolei had this way of saying things that always made her laugh even if sometimes she didn't really. She was mostly the silent type, like Ken. That may be why she likes him so much, she guessed keeping a large smile on her face.
Yolei then pulled her friend in a corner of the room so that the others wouldn't hear. "So, how far have you gone with T.K.?" Kari almost jumped three meters away, how far? That's right, how far had she really gone with him? Nowhere because there wasn't anything between them. T.K. was just a good friend after all. "He's my friend Yolei!"
The young girl had a doll look on her face. Taking her helmet off, she almost hit Kari on the head if it hadn't been for her I-have-no-clue-about-what-you're-talking-about look. "Just don't tell me you prefer Davis please…"
Kari had no time to answer as Davis, hearing his name out of Yolei's mouth, was trying to know what they were talking about. Yolei growled. Kari wasn't helping, she was not going to answer. She had to do something about her and T.K.!
And as far as she knew, T.K. was as clueless as she was, or maybe just a little shy. He never explained what he meant when he dropped some hints to her and Kari was too spaced out in her world to try to find a meaning.
Cracking her knuckles, she laughed evilly. She could do it, only her good deed could get them together. Feeling the fire burning in her body, she tried to come up with a plan, any plan! As long as it gets them together. The "problem", what ever it was, in the DigitalWorld could give her an idea. She only needed to know.
Turning to Izzy, she smiled to him. "So, what IS the problem?"
Feeling like he should somehow retreat,
Izzy looked at the younger girl in front of him. Why did she have that look on
her face? She was plotting something and her eyes was telling him it wasn't
going to be good.
He sweat dropped. "Well, it seems that the DigitalWorld is disappearing. I tried to contact Tentomon, but he won't respond."
Yolei jumped on him and started to yell. "AND YOU CAN SAY THAT WITH A COOL VOICE!!??!! The DigitalWorld is disappearing for Christ sake!" Izzy faked a smile. "That's why I called of you."
"Why didn't you call the older DigiDestined too?" Izzy turned around to face Ken who kept the same cool look on his face, but he could see he was actually worried about the situation. "Well, they ARE coming but… There's none of our Digimon to be seen so you'll be more helpful then us."
The party was over, only grave faces filled the room. What were they going to do?
"Have you tried to analyse what ever is happening?", questioned Cody. Himself, as one of the new DigiDestined never saw a colliding DigitalWorld before. He wondered what was happening on the other side and if there would be any consequences to their world.
Turning to his computer, Izzy looked at the map of the DigitalWorld that was slowly fading out of his screen. "No. If I'd had, the other world would have been half gone by now." He was right, there was no time to waste.
Slamming Izzy on the back, Yolei gave him a big smile. "What are we waiting for then! DigiPort open!"
Izzy looked at all of them as they slowly faded to go threw the portal of his computer. He wanted to slam his head against his desk, what was he going to do? Of course, he was what they called a genius, but even genius have a hard time solving some problems. And this one…this one, he had no idea. If course, the DigitalWorld had separated itself once for its own good but it was nothing compared to this!
***
Landing on some large plain, they all looked around. Nothing odd to be seen, they'd have to separate and look after all.
"Right, then I'll work with…" Davis was cut off by Yolei before he could even finish what he wanted to say. "…with Ken of course! I'll work with Cody, T.K. and Kari you go together." Davis couldn't believe this, even Yolei was against his poor lonely heart. He looked up at Ken, not really a dating material if you know what I mean, but he was his friend so working with him wasn't that bad. But…he wanted to be with Kari! He wanted to show off to her by finding what was wrong with the DigitalWorld.
Yolei looked at a calm Ken and a gloomy Davis walking away towards the mountains. Then turned around to see T.K. and Kari talking to each other as they made their way to the forest. This was PERFECTO, as she always said. That way they could talk to each other and maybe Kari would remember what she'd told her before.
If it didn't work, she knew she could come up with something more daring. She hoped she had to, because the dirty part was always the best.
"Yolei, are you coming? We have to go." Cody interrupted her thoughts. Oh yeah, the DigitalWorld!
***
Of course, she did get along with T.K. much better then with any of the others, but that didn't mean she had feelings for him. Arg! Why was she troubling herself with such futile topics!? That damn Yolei, what did she always do that? Sometimes Kari wished she would mind her own business, now she was going to be uncomfortable around T.K. for a week and T.K. noticing was inevitable. Even now she didn't feel fine.
T.K. was in front of her with Patamon on his head, as usual. He didn't seem like he would talk to her anytime soon, even if he did before, that was good. It's not like he wasn't the talkative type, but he liked his Digimon a lot. His friend had given his life to save T.K. and the boy still hadn't forgiven himself for what had happened that day to Patamon. The DigitalWorld was a second home to them and the Digimon were their family, T.K. had learned it the hard way.
"Kari, is there something wrong?" The fog in front of the girl's eyes disappeared in a flash when Gatomon, her Digimon, pulled on her hand with a worried look. T.K. turned around.
Kari didn't answer as T.K. looked at her. He put his hand on her forehead. "You're red or something… Are you sick?" Kari looked away. "No, I'm fine I just…need some sleep I guess.
T.K. smiled to her. Which unclenched odd reactions, in her stomach: butterflies and on her face: which turned almost deep red.
Kari never really admitted it because she thought they were only friends and she only loved him as a friend, but T.K. was kind of cute. Especially with that smile he only gave her and his brother, that loving smile. She could still feel his hand on her forehead when he pulled away, the heat that it generated was burning on the surface making her feel like she was going to explode.
Maybe, he was only what she thought…only a friend. She didn't know what T.K. meant when he said "I care about you." She never tried to find a real answer, even when he gave her a vague one. He didn't want to explain, she had no right to force it out of him.
But…maybe it was more, more then friends…deeper feelings, for her.
She never realised the silence that twirled around her. It was like an heavy wind of emptiness that made the DigitalWorld grow darker and lonelier, like a person.
***
Yolei was happy, too happy. Cody was worried, what was she thinking? What was she trying to pull? Every time he asked, she would only smile and keep jumping around, not realising she wasn't acting like her normal self.
"Yolei, tell me what's going on!" She stopped and turned around to look at him, Hawkmon and Armadilomon with a big smile. "Nothing.", she just answered and kept dancing around until she finally stopped.
Cody sweat dropped, what was it this time?
"Isn't there suppose to be water in there?" The little boy looked ahead. She was right, there should have been a lake somewhere that way but only a huge hole could be seen. If he looked farther away, he could only see darkness. Darkness? Since when did the sky in the DigitalWorld looked so dark? He hadn't realised it before, too worried about Yolei to examine his surroundings.
"Look Cody, plants…water type ones, all dried up!" Yolei was now in the lake, but not at the bottom only on one of the sides. Her feet were tangled up in some strange plant. When she broke away, they shattered in thousands of pieces as if they were made of glass.
Cody made his way in and examined the plants himself. It had been a couple of days since the water had been gone, he could see it. They were dead, of course.
"Cody! Come on! Lets go see that way!" A second ago she was beside him and now she was on the hedge of the dried up lake and walking away, fast. How fast could she walk? Cody stood up. "Hey! Wait up!"
He ran behind her but rapidly lost her. She was exited again, there was nothing he could do about it.
He found her a couple of minutes later, she was in the lake kneeling and was looking at something you could call a miracle: There was water, but it was strolling down to someplace he couldn't see. It was too dark.
He kneeled beside her only to make her stand up and follow the little river. She stopped a couple of meters away at the sound of rolling rocks under her feet. A pit, a bottomless pit was right in front of her. All she could see was darkness in front of her nose and nothing else. It was approaching slowly and eating up everything in its path.
She reached an hand and tried to touch it. What ever it was, it had to go or else the DigitalWorld was going to disappear for good. She didn't want that.
Trying to touch the darkness, her hand never connected with anything as she got pulled in by a very strong force.
"YOLEI!!" Cody watched in horror as his friend entered the black wall. Oh my god, what was he going to do? What was he going to do!!??!!
