You're my Light:The fluffy fic
By: §amurainoble
Okay, I originally intended for this to be the story line, but I didn't want to make a fluffy
romance fic and get made fun of. But, I knew I had to write this anyways. Who knows,
this might be as popular as Time Lady's stuff, or Caspian's..... Or that fic by
Boombubble..... I dunno.... Awe well, please enjoy.
Disclaimer:All I own is the plot and the song in the story.
Author Note:ETBU is real and I don't know about the University of Japan. I had to come
up with something though. Enjoy my little story. I know I enjoyed writing it.
another AN:This is the same first chapter from the other one, I know, so if you've already
read this one, move on to the next chapter. I added a little to this chapter though. I said a
little though, just a sentence. Or so.
Chapter 1:Memories
It's hard to figure out your destiny, isn't it? The world has so much to offer, and you
usually get the trash that the crowds leave behind. You're always told how much
potential you have, and yet when you want to use it, no one gives you a chance. At first,
when I entered ETBU(East Texas Baptist University)'s doors, I was excited.
I was in college! ETBU had given me a full scholarship, and it had a great sports
program. Plus, my youth minister said it was a great christian college. I had come to the
Lord when I was 11, and the youth minister was like a brother to me then and now. My
name is Takeru Takaishi, but everyone calls me TK.
Except for Davis. He never could get my name right. I think it had something to do with
Kari. He always called me TM, or TA. Once TP, and he even made my hat pointy to
make it more sensible. I miss those guys now.
Kari had gotten a scholarship to the University of Japan for her brains. Davis had
decided to go their too, for obvious reasons. Man, that guy never knew when to quit. He
was always bugging Kari, flirting, if you can call it that. Davis and I could have been
great friends if Kari weren't around, but I couldn't bare it if she weren't.
I admit it, I liked her. I had had a thing for her since I was 8, but back then I thought it
was just cooties, the invisible plague that haunts you until you're 10, or older. We had
first met when we had found out she was the eighth child.
Whoops, I never mentioned what that meant. You see, when I was 8, I had went to a
camp in the summer, with my older brother Matt. It was the first day, and of all the
bizarre things to happen in the blazing hot sumer, it snows! Yeah, it snowed, and it was
so cool! I had went out to play in it, and then this bright light thingy had come out of no
where, and I caught it. It was what we now call a digivice.
After that, me, Matt, Tai, Sora, Joe, Izzy, and Mimi had got sucked into the digital world.
After that we had a whole ton of adventures, from defeating Devimon, to when
Myotismon went to the real world. It took a while but we tracked down the eighth
digidestined child, and it was Kari.
We defeated Venommyotismon, and went back to the digital world. We got along just
fine, except she was taller then me, which didn't help my "cooties" problem. We'd
always play tag, and she'd always tackle me down. Once she played keep away with my
hat. But of course, I stole her whistle and our little tag game would continue.
When the digital world was saved, we returned to the real world, and went back to our
families. My mom and I had to move, and the day before we moved Kari and I were
really sad we wouldn't be around eachother anymore. Oh sure, I would get to visit my
dad every once in a while, but it wasn't the same. I was used to her coming over and
we'd watch TV or something together. We were friends for cryin' sakes, and friends are
supposed to be together.
But how close?
I found out my feelings for her when I was 10, and on a visit to my dad's. I had went to
see Kari just to catch up with her. Tai teased us saying we would elope or something like
that. And Kari said to him she wouldn't do that. But I thought about it. I realized I
liked, no loved Kari. But I just decided to say I wouldn't do it either.
Well, a year later, I began going to a church and decided to let Jesus into my life. Then
my mom and I moved back to Odaiba, I went to school the first day, and bam, there she
was in my class. My heart leaped for joy, and the teacher let me sit by her too. Course,
that's the same day I met Davis, who really didn't take too much of a liking to me.
Well, later in the day, at the computer lab, something strange beyond belief happened.
Davis got a digivice. And so did Cody and Yolei, my friends from the apartment
building I lived in. Our journeys began.
Our adventures were memorable. From armor digivolving for the first time, to DNA
digivolving with Cody, I don't really regret any of the things we did then. We even got to
go on a tour of the world. I went to France with Tai to see my Grandpa, and to send
some digimon back where they belong.
I even met Catherine, a really cute French digidestined. Of course, Tai and I gave her a
little Christmas present before we left, just to be nice of course. But really our times
together were great. It was a sad day when Matt, Tai, Sora, and Izzy went off to college.
Matt visited us with his new girlfriend, Mia, and Tai and Sora got it together.
I was amused by their sudden realization. It was just weird. Yolei then had to go off to
college as well. I think she chose the University of California just so she'll meet some
surfer guys.
Then it was our turn. Davis, Kari, and I were pretty much you're typical style of seniors.
Kari the smart one, Davis the weird one you couldn't help but laugh at sometimes for his
weird behavior. But he was great at soccer. I guess that soccer scholarship from the
University of Japan was a good thing. Me, I was just one of the normal people. I had my
own style, I was kinda lazy, a bit of a slob, you know, the typical guy. I wasn't quite
dumb, yet not quite smart. I made straight B's and a few occasional A's. I was happy
with with my grades.
Graduation was one of the happiest days of my life. My mom was filming the whole
ceremony. Matt had come down from college to watch. Tai and Sora were both there
too, and so were Kari's parents, My dad, Yolei, Cody, Mimi, Izzy, and Joe were there as
well. We got our diplomas, and did our victory dance. That summer was the greatest
ever, yet kind of the worst.
We, the digidestined kids, all went to the beach once. I got out my Super Soaker and
began having a water fight with Tai, Matt, and Davis. I then accidentally soaked Kari.
She had a look on her face I had never seen before. It was funny though. Except
laughing was the biggest mistake I could have made.
And I made it.
She stormed over in my direction, picked me up, carried me over to the water, and threw
me in. I didn't know she had that kinda strength. Only, she didn't count on me pulling
her in after me, thus getting her even more soaked. She then splashed me. I splashed her
back. We had a little splash war going now. Cody then came in to try to break it up. But
we got him with a double soaking. Everyone joined in.
Well, then the bad part of the summer came. I had my stuff packed, and I was at the
airport, ready to board the plane to Houston, Texas, ready to attend ETBU. Everyone
was there to send me off.
Cody shook my hand, gave me a hug, and told me to make sure to visit. Davis just shook
my hand, but I knew I'd miss him. Mimi hugged me and told me to not break to many
girl's hearts, Tai gave me a firm handshake. I knew he would have hugged me if it
weren't for his tough guy composure. Sora hugged me as well. Matt wasn't there. My
mom was crying, and I said to her "Mom, I'll be fine, I'll come to visit you guys, don't
worry."
"Make sure to call once you get there." She said.
"Yes mom." I replied.
I then came to Kari. She gave me a tearful look, and I just smiled down at her. I then
hugged her tight, trying to show how much I would miss her. She then said to me "You
better behave up there, TK."
"Scouts Honor."
"I'm gonna miss you."
"Hey, I'm only gonna be half way around the world. But I'll miss you too. And you guys
as well."
"First call for Flight to Houston, Texas." Came the first call.
"Well, here I go. Bye guys."
We all went into a group hug, and I boarded the plane. Before I did though, I got one last
glance at Kari.
She was crying.
I didn't like having her cry, but I had to go. So I just waved back and boarded.
I arrived, and began getting acquainted with the locals. I enjoyed college. It wasn't as
hard as I thought it would be at first. The few monthes anyways. I began to feel a little
homesick. Here is where my story starts. I was just walking out of History class. Who
would've known Dr. Pepper was really named after a doctor? That was just a little tid bit
a professor gave us before we left because he and everyone else were dying practically in
this heat. Man, nothing could've prepared me for this extreme Texas weather.
I had on a pair of khaki shorts and a white t-shirt, with my blue baseball cap on
backwards. If it weren't for my now grown goatee, I'd looked like a giant kid. It wasn't
realy a goatee, more of a beard. I was told I looked pretty cool like this, so I kept it.
Well, it was the end of the day, and I had enough work to do that I'd need a coffee cup
the size of a ball park to finish it. I passed a friend of mine I had been greeted by my first
day. Jace. He was a cool guy, and kinda silly. He got me a job with him mowing lawns
and in lawn care.
He came over to me and said "Hey, T, wussup?"
"Not much, J." We called eachother by our first letter since it was easier, and it sounded
cool.
"It's almost spring break, got any plans?"
"I was thinkin' about goin' to visit home."
"You mean Tokyo?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I was hopin' you could come with me to go to visit a friend of mine. He's a youth
minister at a small church and they're having a DiscipleNow. I was hopin you could help
with the music. Sure you can't come?"
"I have to visit my mom or else she'll disown me. But I could drop by to say hi. Maybe
strum ya' a tune or two."
"Really? That'd be great. Sorry to drop the idea on ya' so soon."
"It's alright. So when is it?"
"Around the weekend after next."
"Great, you could take me there, since I don't know the way."
"Yeah, I guess I could do that. Well, I got a date tonight. See ya'."
"See ya'."
I began down the hall, got into the elevator and it took me down to the parking lot. I got
into my car and drove off. As I drove, I began thinking of home. I began missing the
sound of mom's endless typing, of Davis's annoying whine, of Matt's guitar whenever he
came to visit. I sighed. Maybe I should get home and stay there a while. To, well, see if
everything was okay. Then I remembered Jace's last comment.
I got a date tonight.
I repeated it in my mind, over and over, now realizing, I was lonely here. Not friend
lonely. I had plenty of friends. No, I was lonely as in I wanted companionship. I knew
I'd experience these feelings soon, just I didn't know when. I then thought of Kari. Man,
I'd be happy just to see her right now.
I admit it, I loved her.
If I had gotten a clue she was interested in me as more then a friend, I wouldn't have
come here. I dunno, maybe I missed a few of the hints. Heck, who knows, she could be
madly in love with me, and I wouldn't know. The thought made me smile. Kari and me.
Wait, proper english, Kari and I. Dang that english teacher. I guess that's the reason I
got a B in that class.
Kari....
Man, I can't get her out of my head. I guess that's love. Right then, I made up my mind.
I was going back to Tokyo.
Well, did you like it, hate it? This the first chapter of what I hope to be many.
