A/N:

I am very happy to say, I'm back baby. Recently I rewatched Digimon Adventures 01 and 02. So, I started looking for some good Takari fics. I found a good one, but it was put up for adoption. Three years ago. I hope you like this, and the summary is down there.

Summary: It all started when TK asked Kari a question. Quite a while later, TK and Kari are confessing their feelings and happy stuff is happy.

OtA: Hope you all enjoy this and tell me what to improve on and stuff.

Tai: Umm dood, who are you talking to?

OtA: The people reading this man.

Tai: Ohh didn't see you there. Well, OtA doesn't own Digimon or anything.

OtA: Sadly

Matt: JUST GET ON WITH THE STORY


3rd Person:

The lives of the Digidestined have been different since the defeat of Malomyotismon just two years prior. First off, the younger Digidestined were now freshmen in high school. Ken's parents decided to send him to the same school as the others, to relieve some pressure they might put on him. He takes advanced classes. Cody had been skipped the 7th grade and had graduated with TK and the others the year before. Mimi had moved back to Japan for reasons her parents would rather not talk about. That doesn't really matter as they were all reunited and it felt, well it felt so good. Well, except for Joe, he was already a freshman at College, studying to become a doctor no less.

Another thing, Ken and Yolei may or may not be crushing on each other. Romance is something that does come up in the high school years. So, Yolei and Ken aren't the ONLY ones in the group to have developed feelings. Sora and Matt have their thing going on. They've been (officially) together for a little bit over a year now. Davis put a halt to trying to get Kari to like him. Girls flocked to him easily, as he was the star player on the soccer team. Needless to say, Kari was relieved.

Speaking of, Kari had developed feelings for her best friend, TK. She didn't want to risk their friendship, so she never did anything about it. Little did she know, TK had begun to fall for her as well. He didn't want her to be just one of those girls he'd date and probably break up with. He couldn't think of life without his light.

Then we go to now. The Digidestined were at lunch. Spread out on a couple of tables. Matt sat next to Sora. Tai, Mimi, and Izzy sat across from them. Ken sat with Yolei, Cody and Davis.

TK and Kari were sitting alone at a separate table, as they usually did because of TK. He would seem to always have an excuse as to why he needed Kari alone. First it was helping him with math homework then it was a project they needed to do. Today was no different, TK needed Kari to help him in English.

Meanwhile, Tai began a conversation. "Why doesn't TK get a tutor if he can't understand the material?"

Sora giggled.

"What's funny?" he inquired.

Mimi put down her drink. "He doesn't need help, he's just making excuses to spend alone time with Kari."

"No, TK just likes Kari as a friend. It's been like that since we beat Myotismon the first time." Tai explained.

Sora laughed, "Tai, that's funny. Don't tell me you haven't noticed. The way they look at each other when they think the other isn't looking." Sora continued. "And remember, today is Valentine 's Day, what if Kari gave him special chocolates? What if TK is asking her out as we speak? What would you do then?"

Tai with a full mouth, "I doubt it, Kari was with Yolei all of yesterday. They probably went shopping because she asked if I could spot her a couple bucks, saying she was a little short." Tai tilts his head towards Yolei. "You guys went shopping and girly stuff yesterday, right Yolei?"

Yolei pretended to not hear.

"Well how do you explain that, Tai?" Sora said whilst pointing to the pair behind him.

TK had just said something to Kari, then Kari grabbed a red box out of her backpack and handed it to TK. He opened it and hugged her. In response, TK gave Kari a lot of boxes in the shape of hearts.

Tai was bewildered as Kari had started walking towards them.

When she got there she said, "Hey big bro, TK just asked me-"

"NO, no no no no no no and umm NO!" Tai replied. "You're too young for boys."

"Ohh come on, Tai," said Sora.

"He's probably got some evil thing up in his head. " Tai said.

Matt, a little angrily, "Dude, that's MY brother you're talking about. You've known him since he was eight!"

Tai replying, "But he's a male teenager!"

Mimi says, "Forget them Kari, what are you going to wear? You can come over to my house and I'll help you out. I'll make TK want you more."

Kari blushed.

"NO, my baby sister is too young to be dating." Tai said with a full mouth.

Sora said, "Tai, Kari is 15 now, she can handle herself and- Ohh hi TK!" The boy with the fisherman hat came towards them.

"So Kari, did they want any?" TK inquired.

All of them had confused faces. O_o

"What?" Their leader had asked.

Kari spoke up, "Yeah, Tai. TK got a lot of chocolate today because a lot of girls like him. But since TK can't finish all this, he decided to share."

The younger blond spoke up, "It's OK, I'll just keep them and share with Patamon over the next few months or so. He'll be delighted."

"So TK, just tell everyone that you would never even think about going out with Kari." Agumon's partner had said.


Kari POV:

I hate my brother sometimes. The year I actually try to express my feelings towards TK, he has to just directly ask him if he wanted to go out with me. Now, I have to be rejected in front of all my friends. As is Japanese tradition, I gave TK chocolates on Valentine's Day. But I didn't want to give him generic chocolates so yesterday I went to Yolei's to make it myself. So, I could cornily add an extra ingredient of love.

I gave him the box like 10 minutes ago, and he hugged me. It wasn't a regular hug either, because he and I hug ALL the time. This one felt special. I don't know if it was the fact about it being Valentine's Day which made everything more romantic, or if something special was actually going on. His warmth engulfed me and wished we could stay like that forever. I thought we'd attract attention, so I pulled away. He smiled his beautiful smile at me. And handed me a lot of heart shaped boxes. He'd asked me to ask the others if they'd like some while he went to the bathroom.

If only I talked faster, this could have been avoided. I don't understand why Tai would think badly about TK of all people. He's sweet innocent TK. Why does he have the need to control my life. I'm not a baby anymore, though soon I would be tearing like one. Couldn't this have happened when he and I were alone. Well not him being forced for an answer, but me and him having a moment.

I didn't know what to do, so I turned around heading out to leave before he could answer. But before I was out the door, my brother's best friend stopped me. He wanted me to stay for this.

"Matt, I just want it to be private when he tells everyone that he's not the least interested in me." I say, nearly tearing up.

He grabs my shoulders and makes me look at him. "Look Kari, you'll never know unless you go back over there. And if you want it private, here." Matt grabs his brother and brings him over to me. "Now TK, say what you're going to say in private."

He begins, "OK, Kari, don't get mad, and please don't let this ruin our friendship. "

Crap, that doesn't sound good. "OK TK."

He continues, "Well Kari, you see-"

"Matt, let me talk to my sister!" My idiot of a brother basically screams. Eventually Tai pulls through and just stands over TK. Matt quickly follows his lead.

Addressing the older of the brothers, "What happened to private?"

The rock star says, "Hey, it's better than everyone being here. "

TK awkwardly continues, "Well Kari, you see you can't say I would never think about going out with you. In fact, sometimes I dream of it. I've liked you for a while now, but the friendship we have is just too valuable to me. What's hope without light? I want you be your boyfriend so badly, but I can't and TAI DON'T KILL ME!"

OK, so I'm just blushing over here, cheeks as red as a tomato. I can't believe he just said that. He likes me and he wants to be my boyfriend. Reaching the end of his little speech, we all look at my brother.

He looks down at TK. "TK, who said I was going to kill you?"

Matt says, "He probably just thought it because I don't know... Because you were freaking out earlier when you thought he did ask her out?"

My brother replies, "I don't know, I just thought my baby sister might be hurt. TK does have a lot of fan girls, even more than Matt. Plus other reasons besides that." He looks at TK "Hey TK, remember when Demidevimon told you that Matt abandoned you and hated you? The time we all got split up?" This was news to me, but TK nodded. "Well, that day, I came back after just seeing Kari. You asked me if I could be your brother since you thought Matt didn't love you anymore." Matt hugged his little brother for a second. "Well, since that day, I acted like you were my brother, so I felt obligated to protect you most. Well, before Kari came. Anyway, I still see you as my brother, TK. And if you hurt Kari that would all change. First, I'd have to kill you. And then, I'd lose a friend. But worst off all, I'd lose my brother. "

We all just looked at him. I can't believe MY brother had just said that. I hadn't known that they'd gotten close.

TK spoke, "So does that mean I can date your sister?"

Tai replied, "Well, you have my blessing. Plus, you guys get married, me and your brother will be brothers. " He said that last part with a grin.

Does he really believe that we'll last that long, we haven't even gone out yet.

TK asks, "Tai, Matt, can we be left alone for a minute?"

They leave and it's just me and him.

"So…" I say, "You really mean what you said? You know, about wanting to go out with me? And is this a dream?"

TK brushes away some hair in the way of my eyes. He takes me out of the cafeteria and into the halls. He says, "Does this feel like a dream?" He kissed me on the cheek.

Playfully, I say, "Yeah, my lips are still here for you." Part of me wanted him to actually kiss me on the lips, but then it would be my first and could I just waste it on a test to see if this was real?

TK said the exact same thing, "You'd want to waste it on a test?" then he smiled. "Plus, I don't know if I'm a good kisser yet. You know, because I've never kissed anyone before." All I wanted to say was WHAT? But the confused look on my face said it for me. "What? Kari, you know me. I haven't really dated anyone, because I was afraid. I was scared to express love because I thought if I did, I'd grow attached and have them be torn apart from me again." He looked down at me. "But then I met you, Kari. You made me feel like I've never felt before. Back when you were sick in Machinedramon's city. I was scared like crazy, but Tai asked me to promise to protect you, Kari to give me hope and to make sure you were safe. Over the years, since that day, I've tried to protect you. Not because of the promise I made, but because you made me fall for you. To never see you hurt. And today, well today's turn of events gave me the chance to confess." TK finished, his eyes locked with mine.

Why did TK have to be so sweet. I haven't dated anyone either, but I was just waiting for the right person, him. He just told me I changed his life.

I hugged him "TK, you're great you know that? What if we ruin the friendship we have?" I can't think of life without him. He gives me hope.

He embraces me tighter. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let that happen, Kari." This makes me happier.

"Hey, we haven't even gone out on a date." I start to toy with him.

"Well, would you like to?" He asks.

Toying even more, "I don't know TK, this isn't how I pictured getting asked out for the first time." I grin.

I was kidding, but I don't think TK got that. Because he ate a chocolate I'd made for him and said, "How about this, these chocolates are you. OK?" I don't get where he's getting at here, but I nod. He began to eat them one by one. "OK. So these are really sweet, nice, and I can't get enough of them." He finished the last of them. "But now, I want the real thing. So the question now is, will I be spending more time with the 'chocolates' or no?"

"What?" I ask curiously confused.

He replied, "I was trying to ask you out in a different way? Sorry, I'm confused myself. I'm not exactly the romantic type."

"But still, how do you know everything will be fine?" I asked worriedly.

The blond replied, "Kari, in the end everything will be OK, and if it's not, it's not the end. "

"Ed Sheeran much?" I ask.

"Come on Kari, you need to have hope! " He said that last part smiling and pointing at his face.

I finally answer his question. "Yes." He looks confused. "Yes I'll go out with you, Takeru Takaishi!" He picks me up and starts spinning me. "TK stop. I'm getting dizzy." He let me back on my feet.

"So… tonight? " He asked.

I smiled at him, "It's a date."

The bell rang just then, great timing. It hadn't even felt like an hour had passed. But tonight, I'd be on my first date! And with TK of all people!

I'm so giddy. I need to tell Yolei all about it. I need to go to Mimi's after school! Gah, I don't even know what to wear. It doesn't matter because I'm going on a date with Takeru Takaishi!


A/N:

Is there anything I could have done better? Please leave your reviews, and I'll most likely update within the next week. Look forward to your reviews. Please don't flame, I mean. I tried right?

Matt: Finally, Takeru manned up.

Tai: Well, OtA kind of made him.

OtA: My story, I DO WHAT I WANT.

TK: Thanks OtA, but did you have to make me sound weird with the whole chocolate thing?

Kari: I thought it was sweet, well after I understood it.

Matt: TK, Are you blushing? In the Author's Note too? Really?

TK: OK, this was chapter one, see you next time. PEACE!
