Chapter 1 assigned partners

Everyone was in class talking to each other waiting for the teacher. The girls say on one side of the room boys on the other. Kari Kamiya was with her three best friends, Yolei Inoue, Rika Nonaka, and Jeri Katou. The class knew what the assignment was about and today was the day they would get partners.

"So who do you guys want for a partner?" Jeri asked.

"Well Davis and TK have a crush on me, so I'll probably work with one of them." Kari said.

"I wouldn't mind partnering with Takato." Jeri said blushing.

"I would Like Ken, or TK." Yolei said.

"I don't care who I get as long it's not Kazu or Kenta. Can't stand them." Rika said.

"Rika they're our friends." Kari said. Rika crossed her arms and growled. On the other side of the room Davis Motomiya, Tk Takashi, Ken Ichijouji, Takato Matsuki, Henry Wong, Ryo Akiyama, Kazu Shioda and Kenta Kitagawa were having a similar conversation.

"I am not looking forward to this assignment." Davis said.

"It won't be that bad, at least we're working in pairs." Kazu said.

"Yeah but we're being paired with girls, we have to take care of a doll and pretend to be parents for a week." Davis said.

"Fine by me, the girl I'm partnered with can do all the babysitting." Kazu said leaning back in his chair tilting it on its back legs.

"That's a god idea." Davis said.

"Yeah I'm in." Kenta said.

"Can't do that you guys." TK said looking down at him computer.

"Why not?" Kazu asked.

"It's a partner assignment. If both partners share the work then you'll both fail the assignment." TK said.

"You're making that up." Kazu said not believing his friend.

"No I'm not. It's right online." TK said. Kazu peeked over TK's shoulder and reread the assignment from computer.

"Crud." Kazu said.

"Kazu stop leaning back in your chair. You're going to fall and kill yourself." TK said.

"Can't tell me wha-" Kazu said as the chair leg slid on the floor causing him and the chair to fall.

"I told you." TK said chair made a crashing noise.

"Who do you guys want for a partner?" Henry asked.

"Don't know don't care." Kenta said.

"Same here." Ryo said. He looked over at Kari. Kari noticed this causing him to blush and quickly hide behind a textbook.

"I think I just caught Ryo staring at me." Kari told the girls.

"Again?" Yolei asked.

"What do you mean again?" Kari asked.

"He's been doing it for a while now. It's kind of weird." Yolei said.

"How come I haven't noticed until now?" Kari asked.

"Rika and I have been scaring him off." Yolei said.

"OK." Kari said.

"I think he has a crush on you." Jeri said. The girls thought about it for a minute.

"Nah." The girls said and started laughing. Kari couldn't help and wonder if what Jeri said was true. She turned around to see if Ryo was staring at her again. He was and she caught him. She smiled and waved to him. He smiled and waved back. Maybe he did like her. Maybe she liked him back.

"Don't think about it. I'm already trying to steal her from TK," Davis said to Ryo.

"She's not my girlfriend." TK shot back.

"Whatever." Davis murmured. Ryo decided to ignore that. The teacher walked into the room with a couple of students following her. Both were carrying in a large box. They placed the box on the table and left the room.

"Ok, class, you know what today is." The teacher said. The boys in the class moaned.

"Today we're pairing up with partners, where you and your partner will parent a baby for a week. Now when I call your names you and your parter will pick up a doll and a fake birth certificate and pick a seat to sit with your partners. Kazu." The teacher stopped and looked at the floor. Kazu was lying on the floor legs tangled in the chair from falling over.

"Yes ma'am." He said.

"Get up off the floor." She said.

"Yes ma'am." He said and detangled himself from the chair. Everyone in the room stopped and watched him.

"Ok everyone grab your things and stand in a line in front of the room." The teacher said. The kids did as told.

"Before we begin, I just want you to know that there are more boys than girls in the class and we have an odd number. So this mean a group of three will be formed and it will be all boys." She said grabbing a clipboard with the students' names on it.

"I have already picked the teams, so let's begin." She said. She went down the list announcing the teams. One by one the students grabbed their supplies and picked a seat.

"Jeri Katou, you'll be paired with TK Takashi." The teacher announced. Jeri looked over at TK and smiled. She didn't mind working with him. He was a good kid and a good friend. TK didn't mind her either. Again, good girl, good student, they'll do fine with this project. The two met at the table and grabbed their supplies. Then they sat down at the back of the room.

"This should be fun." TK said.

"We'll do fine on this." Jeri said agreeing with TK.

"Kari Kamiya, you'll work with Ryo Akiyama" The teacher said. No way. Ryo thought to himself. He was working on a project with his crush on learning how to take care of babies. Maybe if this goes well we might have our own family one day. Whoah Ryo getting a head of yourself, let's get through this project first. He thought to himself. He looked over to see Kari next to him, with their supplies.

"I'll take the papers." He said quickly.

"Here." Kari said giving them to him. They took a seat next to TK and Jeri.

"Rika Nonaka and Kenta Kitagawa." The teacher said. Rika looked over and glared at Kenta. He gulped nervously.

"I hate this." Rika muttered to herself as she grabbed their things. She walked away and picked a seat by the window. Kenta quietly followed her, not wanting her to get angrier than she already was. The teacher went down the list a little further.

"Yolei Inoue and Ken Ichijouji." The teacher said.

"YES!" Yolei cheered loudly. Everyone looked at her.

"Come on." Ken said. He grabbed her by the wrist and the two took a seat in the front row. Henry was partnered up with a girl named Alice McCoy. They sat with Yolei and Ken. The teacher continued down the list until Davis, Kazu, and Takato were the last ones standing.

"Well since you three are the last ones, you're a team." The teacher said. A few kids started to giggle.

"Well since you three are a team, I am going to give you a challenge." The teacher said.

"Uh oh." Davis said nervously.

"Congratulation you have twins." The teacher said handing them two baby dolls. Everyone in the room started laughing.

"Aww man." The three boys said.

Author's notes:

~This is a story I came up with as a request from DarkCielo27, who really wanted a KariXRyo couple story.

~Kari and Ryo are an oddball couple that doesn't happen often and requires a crossover in the show.

~This is obviously a tamers and 02 crossover focusing on these groups of kids. The older digidestines might have make an a appearance here and there.

~This story is based off the assignment in child development or home economic classes where students bring home a fake baby ad learn how to take care of it.

~Davis, Takato and Kazu put together for the assignment was to make it funny.

~If you do not like Kari or Ryo or them as a couple, then I suggest you stop reading. This story will focus as them as a couple.

~Please no flames.

~Sorry if Ryo is acting a little oc I don't know how else to make him like Kari.

~School is starting up, so I don't know how far I'll get with this story. I started this since I was off and I had the time.

~This story will eventually get updated.
