(A/N: okay, I just wanted to explain this. I hate Davis as much as it is
possible to hate anything. Anyway, on with the fic)
Davis sat in his room and brooded over his terrible fate. He knew he would never live it down if he went out like this, but he'd tried everything. Nothing had worked. Earlier, his sister Jun decided to practice her makeover techniques. His normally spiky hair was now in voluminous curls that poofed out into a MAJOR Afro, and his sister had died it pink. PINK, of all colours. His eyelashes seemed to be 3 inches long, and his eyelids were absolutely COVERED with pink eye shadow. He had tons of pink blusher on as well as shockingly pink lipstick. Worst of all, HIS EARS WERE PIERCED! From his earlobes dangled heavy pink-painted metal hoops at least 4 inches in diameter. He couldn't so much as turn his head without wanting to scream from the pain. He had scrubbed his face with all his might, but he had just worsened the mess. He didn't have the slightest clue what to do. So, he did the first thing that popped into his head. He called Kari.
" Hello?" Tai asked, after he picked up the phone.
"Umm, could I speak to Kari, please?"
" Sure, Davis"
" Hello, Kari speaking"
" Hey, umm, Kari? You think you could come over here and help me out a bit?"
"What happened?"
" My sister ambushed me and totally destroyed the last of my self- esteem (a/n: good lord! He said something intelligent!)
" What did she do?"
"Covered me with shocking pink makeup,"
1 "That doesn't sound too bad"
"Died my hair, and pierced my ears"
" That's bad. What colour did she die your hair"
"Pink, of course"
"OUCH! I'll be over in 5 minutes"
5 minutes later…
Kari is at the door of the Motomiya residence, with a small suitcase in her hand.
"Come in, it's open."
Kari walked in, looked at Davis and burst out laughing. "Dear god! I thought you were making it up, just to get me over here."
"Well, I wasn't" said Davis huffily " and I wanna fix it before the meeting in 3 hours."
"Well," said Kari "Lets get to work"
2 and ½ hours later…
Kari had managed to get the makeup off of Davis's face and the earrings out of his ears. She was currently rummaging through her suitcase and Davis was sitting on the bed, staring at Kari.
"Well. I don't know how I can do your hair in a ½ hour, Davis. This stuff has to be worn overnight to work." She said, reading the back of a large bottle.
" awww, shoot."
Kari pulled out about 50 bottles of hair gel and 38 bottles of hair spray. She stuffed pretty much all of it into Davis hair, and began to spike it. About 5 minutes later, she pulled out her blow dryer and dried it. His hair was stiff, but it was normal- at least, as normal as it could be while coloured shocking pink. (a/n: just to let you know, I have nothing against shocking pink. I just thought that since Davis is one of those guys that just... well, it's an insult to him.) "Well, that is as good as it's gonna get, Davis… oh, wait! I have something that might be of use to you…" she hunted around in her little suitcase for about 3minutes, before pulling it out and yelling 'here it is!' triumphantly. It was a hat. Exactly like TK's.
"Were did you get that?" Davis demanded
"Oh.. I … TK gave it to me… I just… you know…." She blushed a little, and giggled nervously.
Davis sighed. He'd always known that Kari didn't like him as anything more than a friend(a/n: duh! Who could like Davis!?) but that had never stopped him from hoping. He picked up his goggles and pulled them around his head, then took the hat from Kari. He glared at it with utmost hatred, then shook it out and pulled it onto his head. "how do I look?" he asked Kari, striking a pose. Kari giggled again, less nervously this time.
"wonderful," she replied. Great, he thought, maybe she DOES like me. "and amazingly like TK" she added quickly. Davis sighed inwardly and hung his head. He'd never have a chance with Kari, and he knew it. Why did he keep deluding himself? He glanced in the mirror and noticed that the hat covered pretty much all of his hair, except a little in the back, but it would be okay.
"Hey, Davis, I'll need the hat back, after the meeting, k? I have a feeling that TK is gonna be pretty pissed off when he notices that your wearing the hat he gave me."
"Sure, Kari. And thanks for helping me."
"No prob. C'mon, we'd better leave now, or we'll be late."
Davis and Kari ran up the stairs (a/n: I haven't a clue whether Izzy's house has stairs or not, but for my case, lets pretend they do.) panting loudly. They burst into Izzy's room, and stopped, breathing heavily.
"Hey, where have you two been? The meeting started 15 minutes ago." Asked Yolei.
"At his house," said Kari, pointing to Davis, who hadn't said a word. "He was having some…problems" Tk laughed, but it wasn't his normal laugh. It seemed a bit…forced. Kari glanced at him, and although he was laughing, his eyes seemed cold. Kari skipped across the circle, and sat down next to TK. "I'll explain later", she whispered in his ear. He nodded. Davis tried to join Kari, but he tripped over Cody, and stumbled forward. The hat fell off of his head, and although he made a frantic swipe for it, Tai got it first. For a few seconds, Davis glared at Tai with utmost eniminity. There was absolute silence. Davis, frozen in the middle of the circle, his hands outstretched, thought 'oh, SHIT!' Then, almost simultaneously, all the digidestined burst out laughing. Davis dropped his arms and bowed his head in shame.
" PINK!!" yelled Yolei, and howled with laughter. Davis flushed and bowed his head. TK was rolling around on the ground and laughing his head off. Kari looked like she was trying to keep herself from smirking. A tear trickled down Davis's cheek, and fell to the floor. Suddenly, he was only aware of that tear, on the floor. The laughter of the others seemed irrelevent. He felt the anger coursing through him, and then, suddenly, he looked up. Another tear trickled onto his cheek, sparkling, teeth clenching, and glaring at everyone. He felt so… powerful at this moment. He could do anything. With a sudden cry, he turned and ran straight for the closed window. He stretched out his arms, and shot through. Broken glass rain down around him, as he lay on the ground, 20 feet below.
Two days later in a hospital room…
"Oh, my god" said Kari "I feel so guilty, like I did this to him. I…" she trailed off and leaned her head on TK's arm.
"It's okay, Kari…It was my fault too, for laughing at him. I…I guess I was jealous"
"I know… but…wait a second! You? Jealous? Of what???"
TK blushed, and bowed his head… "ummmm…"
"Takareu…." (a/n: I know I didn't spell that right, but I can't remember)" said Kari warningly.
"You know very well what I am talking about Hikari," His eyes flashing coldly, he strode toward the door "Goodbye"
Kari hiccuped loudly, and sobbed even harder. She couldn't figure out what was happening. She had collapsed into a chair about 5 seconds after TK had left, and that was 20 minutes ago. She didn't notice that Davis' eyes had fluttered open, and he was watching her.
"Kari?" said Davis in a low voice.
Kari jumped, and hurriedly wiped her eyes. "Davis! You're awake! Oh, thank god!"
"I'm fine Kari. Or I will be. But you don't seem to be. Now, tell me what's wrong."
"But… I don't want…"
"You can't hurt me anymore than you already have, Kari. Besides, I can take it"
"No..no!" she ran out of the room, and collided with TK, who was walking toward the door of the room. She glanced back just long enough to see Davis' hurt expression. She dodged TK and ran on.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Is Kari okay?" was the first thing Davis asked when TK walked into the hospital room.
TK nodded. "Here" He said "This is for you." He held out a chocolate bar, and awkwardly sat down in the chair beside Davis' bed.
"Thanks," said Davis "but is there something going on that I should know about?"
"I just lost my temper with Kari, that's all, but I think she took it kinda hard."
"She would." The two boys smiled at each other.
"Although," TK grinned "you look sooo stupid with pink hair." Laughing, TK dodged Davis' attempt at a punch.
Well, how did you- wait wait! Creative flow! Not done yet!
Tai sat in his bedroom, staring at a picture of Kari's smiling face. He had just gotten the news that she had run away. He had searched for hours, but hadn't seen a sign of her. Sora knew, and she would tell the others for him.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
TK had been about to leave, because Davis said he was a little tired, but the phone had rung, and Davis asked TK to pick it up.
"Hello, umm, Davis?"
"This is TK. Do you wanna talk to Davis? He's-"
"No, this is Sora. I…Tai though you should know… Kari.."
"What about her?" TK asked, his voice becoming shrill.
" She..she ran away. Tai is out searching for her, and he asked me…" Sora's voice broke and she burst into tears.
"oh my…" TK's voice trailed off and the phone fell from his hand.
"TK?" asked Davis "What happened?"
"Kari ran away." His voice was flat, no emotion. "Tai is looking for her."
Davis' mouth dropped open. He simply stared in disbelief. "Are you gonna stand there all night?"
"no" he said. Suddenly he stood up straighter, and said "no" in a much stronger tone. " I have to go find Tai. Somehow…" He trailed off and looked away. "Somehow, I get the feeling… that she doesn't really want to be found."
3 days later…
Davis hadn't heard anything since that phone call from Sora, and he was getting worried. He didn't know where Kari might be, or anything else that might have happened. His left leg was broken, but he could walk on crutches, and he spent most of his time pacing beside the bed. There was a commotion in the hall. Davis started for the door.
TK wandered the hallway of the hospital in a drunken haze (a/n: no, he isn't drunk- he just feels like he is). He couldn't remember where Davis' room was, but… he had to try. He collapsed in the hallway.
Davis gaped. TK was lying on the floor, beat up really bad. They put him on a strecher, and took him away. A few minutes later, they came back, and put him in the spare bed in Davis' room. He was awake.
"who beat you up?" asked Davis, terrified that TK might be seriously injured.
"Tai…" said TK, smiling weakly. "It took me three days to find him, and he flew into rage at my suggestion that he should stop, and let the police look. He…well, I don't blame him…although I don't know what it feels like to lose someone that way…somehow, I feel…oddly relieved…" He trailed off again, and rolled over in his bed.
"relieved? About what?"
"well…I don't really know.. I loved Kari, you know that…but I don't think it was… I don't know… it's just so confusing…" He covered his eyes with one hand, and winced slightly as his finger brushed the bruise on his forehead.
"s'okay. I understand. There's really nothing we can do. Just wait. I mean, If she went home, she could be anywhere in the world right now. The digiports will take anyone anywhere
4 years later…
TK clicked on compose, and wrote an email that invited everyone to meet in the park, by the old maple tree, just for fun. He clicked on send, and then he realized that he had absentmindedly sent one to Kari as well. A lump rose in his throat, and he choked back a sob. It had been four years, four long, miserable years, since Kari had run away. He had always kept an eye out for her, but the police hadn't so much as found any clues as to where she might be. He sighed, and switched off his computer, then climbed into bed. He had burned all of his white hats, deciding (for no real reason, really) that they had looked very stupid on him. He'd taken to using gel, and spiking it up, a little bit like Davis' used to be, but not quite. Davis. He hadn't seen Davis in about a month. His leg had never fully healed, and he walked with a limp. He'd never been able to play soccer again.
He sighed. He had been wondering why she had run away. Her life had seemed so…well, happy. She had always been upbeat, and positive, and had never been moody or miserable, like Matt. But then, look at now. Matt was bright, energetic, and he sang. He wasn't very moody anymore. Quiet, maybe, but not moody. When he was younger, he had always expected for Matt to just pick up and leave, no warning. It had never happened. Kari… he had felt that Kari would always be there for him. But, she wasn't. He just couldn't get used to that. TK sighed once more (a/n: lots of sighing, huh?) and crawled into his bed, and turned of the light.
Next day…
TK climbed onto his motorcycle (silver with blue trim) and revved the engine. He reached for his helmet (also silver with blue trim), and groaned when he realized he had left it in the house. He pulled the key out of the ignition, and stormed back into the house. Up in his bedroom, he did a quick search, and finally found his helmet (underneath a pile of dirty clothes) He hadn't seen his mother in about 2 years, now, and no one ever reminded him to clean his room, or eat, or any of that other important stuff.
Anyway, TK grabbed his helmet, and in doing so, he knocked over Kari's picture. The glass shattered as it hit the floor, and TK picked it up (a/n: not the glass-the picture) and stared at it for a few moments. He looked at it, and then slipped it into his back pocket. He glanced at his watch, and knew if he didn't leave now, he'd be late. He swore, and ran down the stairs.
He jammed the key into the ignition, and roared off, not noticing the picture of Kari flutter from his back pocket…
TK arrived panting at the tree in the park, apologizing, and leaned against the tree trunk. Everyone else, of course, was already there. Yolie (who by now had been allowed to get contacts, and her hair died a normal colour) frowned at him.
"TK?" said Izzy.
"Hmm?" TK said, still trying to catch his breath.
"Umm…I'm not sure whether I should mention this or not, but…I noticed that you also sent a email to Kari."
"Oh, that was a mistake. I clicked on her name by acciedent.
"Oh" Izzy sounded realived. 'no wonder' thought TK, 'he probably thinks I'm losing it'
The others started chatting, and..well, not really joking around, but all of them were trying to take their minds off of Kari. TK reached for the picture in his back pocket, and discovered it was missing. He sighed. It seem as though nothing would ever go right for him.
" Miss her, huh?" said a voice beside him. TK jumped. It was Davis.
" Oh yeah. It's so different without her. I mean…" He trailed off, staring into space.
" Umm, are any of you Takareu Takishi?" (a/n: I know I spelled that totally wrong, don't sue me.) A young girls voice asked.
"Yes, that would be me." TK replied, glancing at the girl. He nearly went into shock, of course, considering what she looked like.(a/n: I'm not exactly sure why he would go into shock, but it's not because she looked good, okay?) She had super-spiky jet-black hair with neon-pink highlights shooting through it. Her face was heavily made up, all in black (a/n:you know what I mean), and she had her left eyebrow pierced twice, her right, six times, her nose once, her lower lip four times and her chin once. She was wearing a neon-pink spaghetti-strap crop top, and a black miniskirt that barely covered her bottom (a/n: don't picture this, or ask where it came from. I don't control my imagination; it controls me). Her black boots came up to her knees, and had heels about 11 inches high. She had a tattoo of a black snake twined around her upper arm.
"Ummm, I found this, and your name was on the back, so I thought I should return it." She held out the picture of Kari.
Okay. That is way longer that I thought. It probably doesn't make any sense either. Well, I'm gonna finish it. I really have a feeling that nobody's gonna read this, but…who cares? I write this stuff more for me than anyone else, and I'm willing to bet that it sucks, anyway. R&R, to tell me just how bad. In any case, flame me if you have nothing better to do. If you have any ideas, just tell me. I'll try to put them in. Thanx!

Davis sat in his room and brooded over his terrible fate. He knew he would never live it down if he went out like this, but he'd tried everything. Nothing had worked. Earlier, his sister Jun decided to practice her makeover techniques. His normally spiky hair was now in voluminous curls that poofed out into a MAJOR Afro, and his sister had died it pink. PINK, of all colours. His eyelashes seemed to be 3 inches long, and his eyelids were absolutely COVERED with pink eye shadow. He had tons of pink blusher on as well as shockingly pink lipstick. Worst of all, HIS EARS WERE PIERCED! From his earlobes dangled heavy pink-painted metal hoops at least 4 inches in diameter. He couldn't so much as turn his head without wanting to scream from the pain. He had scrubbed his face with all his might, but he had just worsened the mess. He didn't have the slightest clue what to do. So, he did the first thing that popped into his head. He called Kari.

The others started chatting, and..well, not really joking around, but all of them were trying to take their minds off of Kari. TK reached for the picture in his back pocket, and discovered it was missing. He sighed. It seem as though nothing would ever go right for him.
" Miss her, huh?" said a voice beside him. TK jumped. It was Davis.
" Oh yeah. It's so different without her. I mean…" He trailed off, staring into space.
" Umm, are any of you Takareu Takishi?" (a/n: I know I spelled that totally wrong, don't sue me.) A young girls voice asked.
"Yes, that would be me." TK replied, glancing at the girl. He nearly went into shock, of course, considering what she looked like.(a/n: I'm not exactly sure why he would go into shock, but it's not because she looked good, okay?) She had super-spiky jet-black hair with neon-pink highlights shooting through it. Her face was heavily made up, all in black (a/n:you know what I mean), and she had her left eyebrow pierced twice, her right, six times, her nose once, her lower lip four times and her chin once. She was wearing a neon-pink spaghetti-strap crop top, and a black miniskirt that barely covered her bottom (a/n: don't picture this, or ask where it came from. I don't control my imagination; it controls me). Her black boots came up to her knees, and had heels about 11 inches high. She had a tattoo of a black snake twined around her upper arm.
"Ummm, I found this, and your name was on the back, so I thought I should return it." She held out the picture of Kari.
Okay. That is way longer that I thought. It probably doesn't make any sense either. Well, I'm gonna finish it. I really have a feeling that nobody's gonna read this, but…who cares? I write this stuff more for me than anyone else, and I'm willing to bet that it sucks, anyway. R&R, to tell me just how bad. In any case, flame me if you have nothing better to do. If you have any ideas, just tell me. I'll try to put them in. Thanx!
