The Child of Hope

Part one: Reunions



Disclaimer: I, dreadfully, do not own Tk.or digimon. If I did, Tk and Kari would have gotten married.but I do own the plot.to the best of my knowledge. Hehe..^^;;; Anyhoo, enjoy! ^^



A young man, around the age of 15, walked off the plane and stretched his sore muscles. His eyes scanned the crowd, looking for someone. Finally, he smiled when he saw what he was looking for. He stood on a chair, getting many disapproving looks from older couples walking by, but he ignored them. He waved his arms in the air frantically, calling to the tall boy with wild, bushy brown hair that he grew up seeing. "TAI! HEY TAI!!! I'M OVER HERE!!!" Tai Kamiya looked around for the source of the voice he knew all to well. He smiled at the younger boy's antics, only seeing the flailing arms, imagining the looks he got. "Hold your Pegsusmon, Tk! I'll be there in a minute!" With that, the great soccer player known as Taichi Kamiya, ran to where his long time friend waited, almost getting crushed by the herds of hurring people.

Tk Takaishi smiled softly at the comment Tai had made, but continued to wave his hands, so Tai could find him. Moments later, he saw Tai emerge and stopped waving his hands. Tk quietly walked up to the older boy, and tapped his shoulder as Tai looked around in confusion. Tai quickly turned around, looking into the eyes of Tk. Tai was shocked, he had never been able to look Tk almost directly in the eye, he was always too short! Tai shrugged it off as he pulled Tk into a bone-crushing hug. "Tai...can't...breath...need...air..." Tk struggled out. Tai looked down sheepishly, and muttered a low sorry. Tk just smiled. Tai looked up, studying the boy he hadn't seen for four years. "Man, the girls are gonna flip!" was all Tai said as he dragged Tk off to get his luggage.

Kari Kamiya paced the house, angry out of her mind. The other Digidestined did all they could to calm her, but to no avail. They were angry to, I mean, Tai had called an emergency meeting and he was now an hour late! 'This is so typical of Tai...forgetting he called a meeting. ARG!!' Kari thought to herself. "Guys, why don't you go home. Obviously whatever Tai had wanted to tell us wasn't that important, so you can go home if you want." The others nodded at Kari standing up quietly, when the door suddenly slammed open, revealing a very disoriented Tai. "NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE!!!" The Digidestined immediately sat down at Tai's bellow. Kari glared at her brother. "It's so nice of you to join us Onnii-chan! What took you so long!?" Tai looked at his little sister coolly. "I was held up in traffic." Before Kari could answer, Sora Takenouchi, Tai's best friend, interrupted. "Tai, why where you on the high way?" She sighed...she should have expected this from Taichi. "Humph. It seems you guys don't want the gift I got you! Fine...be that way!" Kari, Mimi, and Yolei both looked at him in awe. Together the three girls exclaimed "I WANT IT!" Tai snickered. 'Too easy.' He thought quickly, as he motioned the "gift" to come out.

Kari drew in a ragged gasp, as she looked at the form in front of her. The boy was less than an inch shorter than her brother was. He had the most gorgeous blond hair, a pale blond that when the light reflected off of it, made a hale around his head. He was wearing a green shirt, with a pair of light blue jeans. Around his neck, he had a necklace...but she couldn't see the charm. Staring at her in amusement and admiration, were a pair of sapphire blue eyes, shining with love, life, courage, wisdom, sincerity, kindness, happiness, light, but the thing glowing...no..not glowing, but dancing, brightest was the hope in his eyes. Only one person had eyes like those.

"TK!!!!!!" Kari ran into the arms of her best friend since the first Digital World adventures when they were eight. He always had cheered her up when she was feeling down. She hadn't seen him for 4 whole years. Fours years too many! "Kari!" He whispered in her ear as he hugged her tightly. She had changed, a lot. Her hair was now down to her shoulders, but still being held back with a clip. Her red/brown eyes hadn't changed a bit. They still danced with laughter and love, creating a light in her eyes. She had obviously filled out, and she wore a pink shirt with the word "light" in yellow on it, and a pair of jeans. While hugging, he noticed how perfect they fitted together. He wanted to hold her longer, but remembered what Tai had told him in the car on the way there...

To be continued.or is it? Dun dun duuuun! ^^ bwahahaha!
