OK HERES THE THING - There will be some action/adventure stuff in this story but it will have to wait, the story wouldn't make sense if I just threw it in, so maybe there will be some in the next chapter. (Which involves Tk going on a vengeful rampage so some action is likely.) Anyways I do not own Digimon blah blah blah etc. got it!
Not the Worst Day of my life (considering)
The Worst Day of my life (Kari)
We burst through the Form door panting, needless to say everyone stared at us, we slowly slunk to our seats beside each other under a very judicial gaze from our Teacher whom we had for first period. I took my seat between Tk and Davis.
'What took you two so long?' He whispered urgently at me.
'Ummm…none of your business.' I replied playfully. I heard Tk stifling a laugh behind me; Davis' face was a picture. I turned back to Tk and began a conversation with him.
The lesson and next ended uneventfully so first break came about, me and Tk left for school gates where everyone would meet like usual. We were there early so we discussed plans for the evening.
'So, what did you want to see at the movies Kar?' Tk asked.
'Well…wait, where did Kar come from?' I replied.
'Impulse I guess.' He answered shrugging.
'Fine but I get to give you a nickname.' I said giving him a shove.
'Whatever, shoot.' He answered.
'How abooouut…Teeks.' I finished triumphantly.'
'Suits me.' Tk grinned childishly.
'Teeks? Kar?' Someone behind us blurted. No surprises who.
Davis stood there gawping like an idiot. As if on cue Yolei, Ken and Cody appeared behind him, each with a look that demanded an explanation. I shifted uncomfortably under everyone's gaze. Tk must have noticed my unease because he spoke up first.
'Yeah, Kari and I are, well…going out now.' He said honestly. I felt a weight lift inside me that we had at least made it known to our friends.
'Really?' Ken, Yolei and Cody said in unison.
'Yup.' Tk said smiling confidently. How could he be so calm? I was still getting over the fact that he had actually asked ME out. Everyone was quiet for a moment. Davis just looked stunned, but that was expected anyway, it was the others I was worried about. Then Ken spoke up.
'Cool, you guys want to double-date with Yolei and me sometime?'
'Sure, Tk replied, well, if it's ok with you Kar.'
It went quiet again for a moment until I realised Tk was talking to me.
'Yeah, sure, why not.' I replied surprised at how calm I sounded.
It was then that Davis joined the conversation.
'You two are going out!' He blurted.
'Umm…yes Davis, that's what we've been talking about for about five minutes.' answered Tk.
'Shut up Ts. Kari how could you choose him over me!' Davis yelled at me.
'Because…well…because…' Everyone looked at me expectantly. I felt someone take my hand and clutch it comfortingly. I looked up at Tk beside me. He smiled serenely. I was about to continue when he shook his head.
'It's ok, he mouthed, you don't have to say anything now.' Then the bell rang. I had never been so thankful for the end of break. And thankfully again none of the others were with me in the next lesson, so I had time to think.
So it was that I spent my next double lesson of History not listening to how the Battle of the Somme panned out, but lost in my own thoughts.
Why had it been so hard to say why I let Tk take me on a date? I knew I'd liked him more, but was it deeper than just a crush. I liked to think so, I'd known Tk for years, and since he'd moved back to Odaiba those years ago…I'd known for a long time now that I had strong feelings for him, but was it the same for him? Was this just a date between friends to him? I figured that was why I wasn't ready to say anything yet. And so History, like the rest of my lessons, passed uneventfully. Then the bell rang for lunch. Gathering my things I decided I needed to talk to Tk.
After wandering round I found him hanging round outside the gym, talking on his mobile. I guessed it must have been his brother, Matt. He acknowledged me with a smile and a nod. I returned it.
'Yeah, ok Matt, really, when's she coming, she's here? Ok, got it, did I what? Yeah, no…yeah…no…no I said! Get lost Matt. Yeah see you later.' He ended the call.
'Matt I take it?' I said grinning.
'However did you guess?' He replied sarcastically.
'Guess you got a genius for a girlfriend, eh Teeks?' I said waiting for a reaction.
'Guess I do.' Tk said with a childish smile on his face.
'So, I continued, who's coming?'
'Oh, no-one special. Nothing to do with me anyway, I'm just relaying a message.' He answered.
'To who?' I asked.
'Your Brother Tai. I'd better get going, is he in the College today?'
'Yeah.' I replied.
'Thanks, Tk chimed, see you after school Kar!' He ran off with a wave.
'Bye Teeks.' I waved after him. It was quiet for a moment, then I heard someone behind me, it was Davis.
'Hi Davis.' I said cheerfully.
'Sick, he's so sick to do this to you.' Davis spoke slowly shaking his head.
'What?' I said confused.
'Kari, he's lying to you.'
'About what and why would he lie to me, Davis we went through this, I'm going out with Tk, and you'll just have to move on.'
'He's not passing on a message, Davis continued, ignoring me, he's going to ask out that French girl, Catherine, the one who's visiting.'
'Tai told me about her I think, Tk and him saved her when they went to France. He said she was coming to visit him.'
'Well clearly Tk seems to want her himself.'
'No, I said disbelief in my voice; he's going to tell Tai that she's arrived.'
'Any excuse, Kari, stop fooling yourself. He's a dense guy, what did you really expect from him?'
'Davis shut up! I yelled, just shut up, you don't know him, he's not like that!'
'Isn't he?' Davis said shaking his head again slowly.
I had heard enough, blinking back a wave of tears I ran, ran straight from the gym, through school corridors and out of the building, then I skidded to a halt. I saw Tk standing with some blonde girl, chatting and laughing with each other.
'Tk!' I screamed at him. He turned round and came over to me. Tears were now streaming down my face. I didn't care anymore.
'What's wrong Kar?' He asked a concerned look on his face.
'How could you! I yelled, what am…what was I to you! Something to fill in the gap between you and…Catherine? Or was our date going to be some kind of practice to you, was I so easy to ask out that I'm nothing but a test!'
'What? Why would you even think that, where did all this come from?' He asked.
'Oh please…does it matter to you?'
'Well…yes actually!' He shouted back looking annoyed now.
'If you must know, Davis told me, at least he had the decency to be honest for once, which is more than I can say for you!'
'Wait…you're trusting Davis…on his word, over mine?'
'Yes.' Tk looked less annoyed now, I couldn't quite tell, but he looked different.
'So all these years…our whole friendship, almost our whole lives, you never trusted me?'
I was about to retort, but then I realised I didn't know what to say.
'You've known Davis less than half the time we've known each other, what else that I've said haven't you taken seriously? That I care about you? That I would always be there for you and protect you? Did that mean nothing to you?' I knew what I'd done now, I'd hurt him. I was about to say something but Tk held up a hand.
'No…never mind, goodbye Kari.' He slowly walked towards the school building. My face was soaked but the tears kept falling. I'm not sure what went through my head next, but I ran, I ran out of the gates and away from the school.
…
Well I did it, I messed up big time. I'd hurt the one person I cared for deepest, and I could never make it up to him. The look in his eyes killed me inside, that empty, hollow look. I didn't know where I was going anymore, I didn't care anymore. I'd destroyed the one thing I cared for most, and with that, everything around it. My friends wouldn't take me back, and I couldn't blame them, what would Tai and my parents say? What would Tk's parents or Matt say? Well it didn't matter anymore, nothing did. I would just keep walking for awhile.
A couple of minutes later I noticed someone behind me. I spun round to confront them. It was Catherine, could things get any worse?
'You must be Kari, yes?' She asked.
'Yes…' I said eyes on the ground. She held out an open hand.
'I'm Catherine.' I looked up, hesitated, and then shook her hand.
'Hi, sorry you had to sit through…earlier.'
'It's ok…but one question please.' She spoke sincerely.
'Shoot.' I mumbled.
'Why did you assume you're boyfriend had come to ask me out? I barely know him. And I'm here to see you're brother, Tai.' The question sent a pang of guilt through me as I flinched.
'I…I didn't…didn't trust him.' I sighed.
'Well, why don't you talk to him, I'm sure he'd understand, from what I do know of him, he's not likely to let you go that easily.' What she said made me feel slightly better, but I knew I couldn't talk to him again.
She must have realised I was deep in thought as she spoke up again.
'But it's really none of my business; it's your choice Kari.' I took console in that at least, as I was about to reply, I was cut off by a strange sound emanating from an alleyway up ahead, a sound I hadn't heard in quite a long time. The sound of a Digiport opening. I motioned for Catherine to follow quietly behind me. I sidled up against a wall and peered round the corner, there stood in front of the Portal was a Digimon I'd hoped I wouldn't see in a while, Arukenimon.
She gazed round the alley emotionlessly. Then she seemed to have noticed something, I couldn't tell what but I had a bad feeling. Then I realised it had gotten a bit darker, I turned round and found myself face to face with the leering mask of Mummymon leaning over me. He had Catherine's wrist clenched in his hand as she was struggling to get free. Nothing happened for a moment, then I threw myself at him. I hoped it would be enough to knock him off balance slightly. It wasn't, but it was enough to shock him into letting go of Catherine, she stumbled backwards, but as she was about to leap at Mummymon I waved her off.
'Catherine run! I yelled at her, get out of here.' I reached into my pocket and threw my D3 at her. She caught it but hesitated.
'Catherine go!' I cried. She nodded sadly and ran.
I gave up struggling against Mummymon once Catherine was out of sight. Mummymon had wrapped his arms round me, restraining me. Arukenimon came forward.
'Why do you Digidestined insist on getting involved in my affairs at every turn?' She asked, leaning down and facing me.
'I don't know, if you're not doing anything wrong it shouldn't bother you should it?' I asked grinning.
'Smart girl, you've grown up since we last met.'
'We all have, so I'd guess you're in trouble.' Arukenimon smirked.
'Don't count on it.' She turned round towards the Portal again. I decided to try and waste some time.
'So…how did you two come back, didn't Malomyotismon destroy both of you?' She flinched. It was Mummymon who spoke up instead.
'Yes…but all data flows as a continual stream, continually recycled, so plainly, here we are.' Now Arukenimon turned round to face me again.
'Yes, here we are, and you with us…how convenient…' She spoke thoughtfully.
'Arukenimon?' Mummymon said questioningly.
'Ok, we take her with us. We get any unwanted guests, she gets the consequences.' She suddenly said.
'What!' I blurted. But Arukenimon had already turned round and stepped through the Portal.
'You can't be serious!' I yelled. My protest fell on deaf ears as Mummymon proceeded to pick me up and carry me under one arm.
'Put me the f-' He clamped a hand over my mouth before I could finish, then continued after Arukenimon through the Portal. I gave up struggling and resigned myself. It was official, this was the worst day of my life.
Soooo...how was it? Reviews pleasing and thanking! Next Chapter up soon I hopes!
