OK, hi everyone. This is my first story I have ever finished. Hope you like it. Would
appreciate reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just the story
idea.
Disaster
Unfolds Happiness
The ground shook beneath them,
all the built up energy in the earth being released. Kari and T.K. had just returned from the digital world, and were
in the computer room, when the earthquake struck. Being in 8th grade and still fighting evil in the digiworld was
horrible, but this was worse.
The glass in the windows
exploded inward, coating the floor with shards of broken glass, and the ceiling
started to crack, some of it crashing down to the floor. And just as quickly as it had come, it
ended. The shaking caused Kari to fall
to the ground, and when it ceased, Kari stood up and surveyed the damage down
to the computer lab. Glass, debris, and
broken computer parts lay strewn across the floor. The section of the ceiling that had fallen had blocked the door,
making all attempts of getting out impossible. The room was too high of the ground to go out the window. In simple terms she was trapped, and scared.
The Kari remembered that T.K.
had been with her. She couldn't see him
from where she was, and frantically started searching for him, too afraid to
call out, for the noise might cause more of the ceiling to collapse. She found T.K. lying on the floor
unconscious, under some of the ceiling rubble near the door. A thought passed through her mind, was he
dead? She wouldn't be able to forgive
herself if he was, because she was the one that asked him to visit the
digiworld with her. A tear streaked
down her cheek, creating a stinging sensation. She put her hand on her cheek to wipe away the tear, and it came back
with some blood on it. A shard of glass
must have cut her cheek when the window exploded. She sat back on her heels, silently crying and praying, when she
heard a moan coming from the floor. T.K. was still alive! She seized
him in a hug so tight; it was like she never wanted to let go.
"Oww," was the first
word out of T.K.'s mouth as he regained consciousness. He leg had been smashed by the falling
ceiling, and it hurt like hell; it was probably broken. "What happened?" He asked,
surveying the room as he tried to sit up. He couldn't get up all the way, so he kinda just propped himself up on
his elbows.
"I…I think it was a
horrible earthquake." Kari told
him, her voice shaking slightly.
"Well, yeah I can see
that." T.K. said, "We really
need to get out of here. The ceiling
looks ready to fall again, especially if an aftershock hits."
"I know, but we
can't." Kari replied, her eyes
full of tears. She was afraid, more
afraid then she had even been, even when fighting the dark masters.
T.K. didn't ask why they
couldn't. He knew why, he could see the
rocks in front of the door, and the one on his leg that was sending jolts of
pain through his body. He tried to move
the rock, but he didn't have the strength left to do it.
"Kari, help me." He
said
"If you couldn't, how can
I? And I'm scared T.K." She was
curled up in the fetal position on the floor next to him.
"Yes you can. You need to." He said to her, his voice
unusually calm.
She got up and tried to lift
it, but it only wiggled a little. "I can't do it." She
told him again.
"Please Kari, try it once
more, for me?" He reached up and
brushed a stray tear off her cheek. She
looked into his eyes, and found the strength she needed. The rock rolled of T.K.'s leg and on to the
floor with a loud thump. For a few
seconds they were both afraid to move, even breath.
"I think we're OK, for the
time being." T.K. finally
said.
Kari nodded, still too afraid
to actually speak. She was sitting in
ball next to T.K., shivering. Partially
because she was scared, but mostly due to the fact that it was the middle of
winter, and night was fast approaching. The shattered windows gave no protection from the chilly winds that blew
through them.
T.K. then noticed the trickle
of dried blood that had fell down Kari's cheek. "Kari you hurt, what happened?"
Kari didn't answer, but turned
to look at him. There were to wet
streaks on her face. T.K. didn't know
what to do to comfort her, so he just sat there for a while. He soon got very bored, just sitting there,
waiting to be rescued, so he asked Kari a question that had been on his mind
for quite a long time now.
"Kari, who do you like
more? Me or Davis?"
This question caused Kari to
smile a little. "How are you able
to think of something like that at a time like this?"
T.K. shrugged. "Well, what else should I be doing at
this moment? So what's the
answer?"
Kari was silent of a few
seconds, gathering her thoughts, but what she said next made his heart drop.
"Davis is really nice, and
kinda funny. He reminds me a lot of my
brother Tai, and I really love my brother." She soon realized that this was not quite what she meant to say
when she saw T.K.'s face. "But it
would be weird going out with someone so much like a family member. You and I have been through so much
together, and I guess I can't keep my true feelings for you pent up inside
anymore. I felt something for you ever
since we were being chased by Piedmon." She looked at T.K. to see if what she said meant anything to him. He didn't say anything, but he put his arm
around her shoulders and pulled her to him. Looking deeply into her eyes, he gently kissed her. The kiss warmed Kari inside and out.
In all her dreams, she never
imagined it to feel this wonderful, and she kissed him again, longer and more
intensely. Kari know how T.K felt,
and was very happy with the results.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, rescue
working pushed there way through the debris of the earthquake, looking for
survivors. A very sweet scene was
discovered by on worker who was searching the wreckage of the school: Two young
people had fallen asleep in each other's arms, and they both had looks of pure
happiness on their faces.
The End
