DC: I don't own digimon, or the song that I'll use a line from at the end of the story.

"I wonder what is taking her so long." TK thought outloud as he paced infront of Kari's bedroom door.

"She's trying to hurry!" Kari tried to say she tried to apply her gloss. All of a sudden the pain hit her again, her head throbbed with great pain. She dropped the gloss and held her head in her hands as she slowly fell to the ground. The pain was uncontrolable, and unbearable. Hikari had been getting these headaches for about a month now, but she thought nothing of them. They started off very small and quick and had grown into 5 minute sessions of agony. She knew that she should see a doctor about this, but she knew TK would freak over this if he found out. So she kept it to herself, it was sure to pass, it was her little secret.

"Kari! Honey? Remember our exams? They start in," TK started then checked his watch, "ten minutes!"

"I'm sorry, just one more minute." Kari said quietly as she picked herself carefully off the ground. She wiped her eyes and looked in the mirror. Her makeup was smeared and her hair, that was once was pinned up in a stylish fashion, was tangled and falling down around her face and neck. In a flash she reached over to her dresser and grabbed an old worn hat. As for her makeup, she simply wiped most of it off.

"Kari, two minutes." TK said as he leaned against her door.

"Ready!" Kari replied as she opened the door, only to have TK fall flat on his back right infront of her.

"Oww..." he managed to whisper as he slowly sat up.

"Come on we'll be late TK!" Kari yelled as she grabbed his hand a pulled him out the door. The continued down the street towards their high school. About five minutes later they arrived at the school, and in a mad rampage tore down the halls to their classrooms.

***Kari***

"Sorry I'm," Kari was cut off by her science teacher.

"Hikari, please take a seat before you make a bigger fool of yourself." Mr. Sigma spat harshly at Kari as she stood frozen in the doorway by his evil glare.

"Sorry Mr. Sigma." Kari said quietly as she slid into the closest desk.

"Now class, you have exactly one hour starting now to complete this test." the dreaded science teacher said as he passed out the thick booklets to his students. As he passed Kari, he flashed his almost sinister green eyes at her sending a shiver down her spine. She mused to herself about how Cody claimed that he must have a dark spire, or two. But her laughter quickly ended as she looked upon the test. She was an honor student, but science had always been a challenge for her. Taking a deep breath, she opened the booklet. The smell of fresh, new, processed paper made her feel sick as the aroma filled her nose. She shook her head and concentrated on the first question.

***TK***

Takeru slowly slipped into the gym, trying to be as quiet as possible. His gym teacher was just entering his office, he was in luck. In a flash, TK was in the change rooms with his fellow classmates trying to act like he was there the whole time.

"Hey TK!" a boy voiced. TK spun around to find his big brother, Matt, infront of him.

"What are you doing here?" TK said in shock.

"I'm assisting Mr. Yagachi with the exams." the young blonde replied as he pulled a muscle shirt over his head.

"You better not fail me Matt."

"You mean Mr. Ish..." Matt was suddenly cut off by a deep voice.

"Yamato! Get out here, we have a problem!"

"Duty calls." Matt grinned as he fled from the change rooms. TK continued to change into his gym clothes while engaging in some locker room guy chat.

***Kari***

Kari was almost finished and she still had atleast ten minutes left. Her head was spinning, but she managed to ignore it and continue to work.

"Last question, this is great," she thought as she turned to the final page, "and it's an easy one!" Kari flew through the last question with great speed. And with a great sigh of relief she was finished. She gathered up her papers and walked over to Mr. Sigma's desk. With a huge smile, she placed the papers on his desk and then she turned on her heel and headed for the door. All of a sudden, one of her headaches came on. Only this time it felt ten times worse than before. She grabbed her head as she slumped down to her knees. All of a sudden everything went numb and her eyes clouded over a crimson red.
