Disclaimer: Only 2 characters in this story belong to me, and I might not even use 'em. I don't own digimon, although I've thought about buying the whole monster world idea.
Author's notes: This is my high school Digimon fic, it is a TaiKari fic (Mostly, some slight other couple stuff), don't like it, tough, read it anyway. Also, ignore my rampant misuse of the comma. I realise it's like 5 years too late for a digimon fic, and that no one will probably read it… oh well, it keeps me occupied. Yes, there will be Digimon World related action.

To Be Together

Tai sat at the "shame" table at lunch, he was already having a bad day. On his first day back he had to watch his sister be the target of a prank. Then he had to listen to the soccer team whistle at her, the look Kari gave him made him sick. Then while the freshmen were getting the whole tour, the soccer team called a meeting and he decided to stand up for Ken. "Siding with the freshman, Tai?" Captain Alex asked. So now he sat at the "Shame" table, weeding through his food slowly.

"Need some company, Tai?" It was Cody, the youngest of the digidestined children. Cody didn't seem to be having too much trouble with his first day. Tai didn't want to talk to anyone who didn't relate to him today. Plus, wherever Cody is…

"TAI! Hey, how are you!" Yolei is never far behind, the smart, hyper girl sat down opposite Tai and Ken drooped in next to her. Tai hated it when Yolei was happy, she was so loud. Not that she didn't have reason to be. For her 17th birthday she received an engagement ring from Ken. Something corny about him not sure if she'd be available later. Dear god though, couldn't he have waited until after the first day!

Ken finally broke the babble with something relevant, "Thanks for sticking up for me Tai. I'm sorry about what happened." This made Tai feel sick, it wasn't Ken's fault but the words wouldn't come. Tai just picked up his tray and walked back over to the "Soccer Team" tables in the caf.

"Hey, Tai, Didn't you say you knew that cutie in the pink skirt?" Tyson-Keith asked, TK was the team's best defenseman. "Yeah, it's my sister… and don't even think about it, Tyson." Tai added. TK laughed and just added, "I don't mess with friend's family, but damn. She's so fucking hot I might just make an exception." That was all it took, Tai snapped and swung a punch at TK. Alex came up behind him and held him back. "Tai, don't start a commotion… you'll miss the fun."

Tai just kept his head forward, he knew this tradition. The soccer team picked the hottest new girl and had the cheerleaders "welcome" them to their new school. He didn't want to turn around, he knew they'd picked Kari. All of a sudden, the school spirit shirt Kari had "won" ripped right down the middle, then fell off. Kari flushed, but Matt's younger brother TK came in with a towel to help her cover up.

Damien came in and slipped into his seat at the "soccer team" table next to Tyson-Keith, he had the smug look about him that he always wore when he spoiled the team's fun. Although he always had a smart alec comment to add. "Your sister loves pink, don't she… bra and all. She wears it well anyway." said Damien. Tai just shrugged, he knew his sister was good looking, she had cute chestnut hair, and everyone liked her as a person. He didn't really care about that because Damien was just going to continue a conversation about Kari anyway. Damien was a scapegoat for the soccer team, he took the hit for just about every incident involving the boys last year. Coach would never bench him cause the canadian boy was supposedly "the next David Beckham" although Tai thought he was a bit cocky and not that good.

Tai sauntered out of the caf to see Kari (now redressed) stomp away from Takeru in a pissy huff, then he saw the last person he wanted to see. Sora walked up to him and fed him some crap line about them kissing and making up. She must've thought Tai was stupid, he knew she was just worried about Matt spending all his time in the US touring with Mimi. So Tai just walked off. Leaving a stunned Sora behind. He knew he would get in trouble but he didn't feel like sticking around so he went home, determined to skip the second half of the day.

When Tai got home he noticed a note on the door. Tai, I got sent on a business trip, take care of your sister, you're dad will be home sooner then I will be, Saturday or Sunday, have fun, mom. PS: Kari is probably going to have a rough first day so spend some time with her afterwards. Oh, great, thought Tai… now I don't have any parents to talk to either. Tai had just dropped his bag off when surprisingly, the door opened. A crying Kari ran into the apartment, Tai walked into the hall and Kari just ran into him. She dried the tears from her eyes "What are you doing here?" she asked. Tai just smirked at her, she wasn't having a good day either. Tai suddenly got a strange feeling in his stomach, he remembered the comments by the team. Tai realised how beautiful his sister was. He was getting kind of edgy, so he figured he'd ask. He handed Kari the note from their mother. "Are you busy later? Want to stick around and sort things out?" asked Tai, "Or do you have a date with TK?" Tai shouldn't have said the last part because Kari broke out in tears. Tai finally figured it out. "What happened?"

In a true brother/sister moment, Tai listened intently to Kari's story about her day, as each dove into the eyes of the other. Tai seeing the vonerability of those lovely light brown eyes. Little did he know, Kari dealt with an event that made her see the cuteness of Tai.

Two Hours Ago:
"Kari, isn't that cute, brown haired guy your brother." Sara asked. Kari mearly nodded, she didn't want her friends causing a commotion the way the soccer team did when she was on stage. "God, if I were you, I'd be dating my brother. No matter how wrong it seemed." Sara pointed out. "Whatever…" added Kari.

Kari was now just noticing what Sara was saying, it was hard not to think Tai was cute, I mean, look at him… He had dark brown eyes you could just lose yourself in for hours, Then there was his hair, it was wild, untamed, and sexy… Just like his spirit (without the sexy part). She wouldn't be thinking about this if Sara hadn't said anything, but now, she wanted her brother. She didn't know why. "Um… Tai, I don't mind us having a brother/sister night tonight. If you want to." Kari wanted one, she wanted to spend some time alone with him, get this infatuation with him out of her system. Kari decided to return to school for last period leaving Tai at home to get ready.

He took a shower, put on some clean clothes, put on his lucky pendant (his crest holding pendant, minus, one crest), and without actually thinking. He bought some cologne, some nice stuff, not the cheap bodyspray you find at ShopMart, he figured he'd put it on later. The clock ticked onto 4 o'clock and Kari still wasn't home so Tai started cooking, if she showed up late, her loss. Tai was just finishing up when he heard two voices he knew. "Later Kari!" Shouted Kari's friend Sara, the second one was a bit of a surprise "Kari! Tell Tai that the game is tomorrow at 4:30pm!" It was Damien.

Kari opened the door, she could tell Tai had a lazy day as the house smelled like burgers. Oh, well… she couldn't expect a gourmet dinner. After all, Kari thought Tai was cute. Not the other way around. She walked into their room and got changed, she put on a nice shirt and a new pink skirt she'd just bought. I really gotta dump this pink kick, thought Kari. She walked out into the bathroom and put on some perfume, some nice stuff that Damien called a make-up gift from the soccer team. After all, he was responsible for all the good guy stuff.

She went out to the kitchen to surprise Tai but he wasn't there. In fact, he was sneaking up behind her because he'd gone to put on some cologne. He put his arms around her in a friendly way and she rested her head on his chest. Tai was a bit surprised, he wasn't sure how Kari would react but she seemed pretty okay with it. They ate in silence, and after cleaning up. Sat together in the living room area, not really paying attention to the TV. Just kind of staring into space, Kari was lost in the rain, just staring. Tai watched her for a second, he couldn't believe how beautiful she was. He liked the perfume she was wearing too. It reminded him of fragile flowers. The same fragility his sister had. He put his arm around her and she cuddled into his chest. She looked up, and brown eyes met. At that moment they'd forgotten they were brother and sister, they were in love. Boyfriend and Girlfriend, nothing more, nothing less.

Kari kept staring into her brother's sexy eyes but she inched closer to his face and they kissed passionately. Tai had been waiting for this moment for a long time, a real kiss, from a young woman that actually loved him, he would've never picked her to be the one though. It had a strange presence in it. The kiss like that, Kari pulled herself off, took a breath, and without even thinking continued kissing him. After all, this moment is theirs to enjoy.

Tai lifted Kari up, still kissing her. Still embracing the love that found him, he took her into the bedroom they shared and still kissing, crawled onto Tai's bottom bunk. Tai was kissing her, almost losing himself in the action. The only noise heard was the two lovers kissing and the rapping sound of rain off the window. At the next breath Kari took Tai's shirt off, she moved her hands up at down the soft skin of Tai's chest and they continued to kiss. Tai slowly took off Kari's skirt and shirt, leaving her in just the pink bra and panties she'd been caught in that morning. They kept kissing, almost afraid that if they stopped they would never get to kiss again. Kari took off Tai's pants, leaving him with just a pair of red boxers and his lucky pendant. Tai's arms stayed on Kari's waist, whereas one of Kari's hands were feeling Tai's warm body while the other one was playing with Tai's pendant. Tai's hands slowly started taking Kari's panties off.

He broke the kiss "I love you Kari."
"I know Tai, I love you too." Kari replied before kissing him again.
