Ch1: Back To Japan

Kari POV

18 year old Kari walked briskly down the street. Finally she was back! Kari had moved to Australia when she was 13 and had lost all contact with her old friends. T.K had tried to call but when she first got there her phone line had been cut for a couple of months, and by then he had given up. Kari herself didn't know T.K's number because he was always moving house and back then he didn't have a mobile. But finally she was back in Japan! Kari was staying here for a year before returning to Australia for university.

She was so excited about seeing the familiar city again she spent all her brainpower stopping herself from running all the way around and tiring herself out. She was concentrating so much that she didn't notice when a familiar voice shouted out to her.

Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She spun around, snapped out of her mode, and looked at the face looking back at her. Facing her was a teenager, probably about her age. At first Kari thought it was a girl due to the long hair but on closer inspection she realised it was in fact a guy. He had shoulder-length dark blue hair and slightly tanned skin. He had deep-set sky-blue eyes and stared at her in an intelligent way. As if he were analysing her like a computer.

"Hey Kari! Didn't you notice me calling your name?" The boy said. Kari blushed. Now that she knew it was a guy, he did look quite cute. She frowned.

"How do you know my name?" She asked. The boy smiled, suppressing a laugh. Kari felt her cheek grow warmer. She expected that by now her cheeks were the colour of tomatoes. In fact, she was right. It really did look like she had to ripe tomatoes on either side of her petite mouth.

"Don't you recognise me?" Kari squinted at the young boy. After a while of inspecting him something finally clicked.

"Ken?" She gasped. And of course she was right. But the Ken that she saw looked completely different to the shy, skinny boy she remembered. This Ken had arms set with muscles and looked lean and fit. His skin was not the pale cream colour she was used to. It was slightly dark, giving him a look that was much envied over in Australia. His hair, although still long, was cut with a front fringe. Even his style of clothes was different. No longer was it the plain white jacket and pants. He was wearing a t-shirt and shorts with sneakers. He must have been going jogging because his shirt stuck to his chest with sweat, showing her how well toned his muscles were. He was panting as well, she noticed, and his talking came out in short gasps.

The new 'Ken' nodded.

"C'mon! Yolei will want to see you!" Ken said grabbing her arm and started pulling her towards Yolei's house.

Yolei's POV

Yolei was sitting on her couch in her new apartment watching TV. To tell the truth, Yolei was quite bored on this weekend. She had nothing to do! But she wouldn't let anyone know that even if it risked her life. So when she heard the doorbell ring she jumped up out of her seat to answer the door. Maybe Ken was visiting her today.

The 19 year old teenager opened the door and started the high-pitched screaming that girls do when they're excited. In front of her was a girl who she hadn't seen for years!

"Kari!" Yolei squealed. Standing beside Kari was Ken. Yolei felt something inside her react at the sight of the young man. She pushed this feeling aside and started inspecting Kari. After all, she hadn't seen her for four years. Kari was bending over her knees panting. She was obviously tired.

Ken probably pulled all the way here. Yolei thought. She smiled. She knew how fast Ken ran when he was pulling someone along with him. Her hair was covering her face so Yolei couldn't see her properly but even from this position she knew that Kari had grown her hair longer. Noticing that the door had opened Kari stood up. Her whole head was bright head. Yolei suppressed a laugh. Kari giggled nervously and started fixing up her hair. Yolei was sure that if her face wasn't red then she'd be blushing. Kari was wearing a pink tank top suited well for the Aussie summers and denim shorts reaching half-way down her thighs. Her eyes were chocolate brown, matching her long hair that, now it was fixed, had a side part with the bigger bit pinned off her face with her signature clip. Her hair was out and ran half-way down her back and lying flat against her top. Now that Kari had fixed herself up Yolei ran over to her and gave her a big hug. She almost instantly let go of that hug when she felt Kari's sweaty and hot skin.

"C'mon in and I'll get you some cold water." Yolei said with sympathy. She had been in Kari's place many times and knew what it was like.

In five minutes time all three of them were sitting on the couch casually talking. In front of them on the coffee table there was a big jug of cold water and three glasses. The jug was already half empty. Now that Kari's face had faded from the bright red it was before Yolei noticed that she had quite a tan from living in Australia. Yolei had heard that tans were really popular in Australia, unlike here in Japan.

Ken's POV

Ken watched the two girls talk away. It was as if they had never been apart. He didn't bother being a part of their conversation He knew that he would be able to get a word in edgeways or understand what they were talking about anyway. Instead he inspected the two young teenagers. Yolei hadn't changed much from when she was a 14 year old. Her hair was the same but she had switched her big geeky glasses for contacts and was now quite popular among the other boys at school. Her fashion had also changed quite a lot as well. Today she was wearing a short, black tube skirt and a red tight fitting shirt with a cardigan.

He then turned his head to Kari. When he looked at her he found his eyes inspecting the curves in her body and felt something tug at his heart.

What is this? Ken asked himself. He pushed the feeling aside. I probably just feel this way because I haven't seen her for years. He convinced himself, but one part of his mind didn't believe him.

She means more to you! Whispered a small voice at the back of his head. She's more than just a friend.

Rubbish! He told himself. Ken pushed the small voice away. He would discuss this matter with himself another time. Bringing himself back to the present he realised that someone was calling him.

"Ken... Ken?" Yolei was waving her hand in front of his face, trying to catch his attention. She had a worried look on her face. She must have been calling him for a while now.

"Um... yeah?" Ken said awkwardly. Yolei sighed in relief. Although worry was still etched onto her face.

"Are you ok?" Kari asked. Ken nodded.

"What happened?"

"Well we were talking and then we asked you a question," Yolei explained. "You didn't answer. You were just staring at Kari in a strange way." Ken blushed.

"We started asking you what you were doing and when you didn't respond we called your name and did all sorts of things to attract you attention," Kari continued. "We were just about to call the ambulance!" Ken blush deepened in both realisation of what he was doing and embarrassment.

"Sorry," He said.

"That's ok!" Kari replied. Still the same old Kari! Ken thought to himself.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Yolei asked. She was obviously still worried.

"Yes! Of course I'm fine!" Ken said nodding. The danger now over the girls started talking again. This time they made sure they included Ken in their conversations more.

Kari's POV

Kari laughed at the joke Yolei just cracked. Soon the laugh infected them all and they were all in hysterics, rolling over the floor. Finally they were able to move their bodies again and they sat up. Immediately Kari and Yolei started fixing up their clothes and hair. Once done Kari looked at Ken and started giggling. His hair was really messed up, and, being a guy, he hadn't bothered to fix it up. His fringe looked the funniest. It stuck up in the air, jutting all different angles. Yolei noticed as well and also started giggling. Ken looked from one girl to the other and realised what they were giggling about. Blushing he hastily flatten his hair.

"It's great to be back in Japan!" Kari said. "I had good friends back in Australia but not nearly as good as the ones I have here!" Yolei gasped.

"Oh how selfish of us to have kept you here!" Yolei cried. "Of course you want to see the others, Sora, Matt, Izzy, Joe, Cody." Excitement welled up inside Kari again.

"Yes! And don't forget T.K!" Kari said. "We were best friends before I left!" Yolei frowned.

"Oh yes," she said gravely. "T.K,"

Kari's POV

Kari frowned as she remembered how Yolei reacted at T.K's name. Kari was on the way to Sora's apartment.

Hopefully, Matt will be there to. Kari had said that when Tai moved to Australia with Kari, Matt and Sora had started dating. After all, the only thing stopping them was Tai.

"Hmm…" She muttered. "Maybe Matt can make Yolei's reactions to T.K's name a bit clearer. What had happened while she had been away?

I hope you enjoyed my first chapter. Don't forget to reveiw!
