Bunni Motomiya was in a cleaning mood. She'd finished the laundry, scrubbed the kitchen, and vacuumed all of the carpets. Now it was time to clean the bathroom. She dreaded this job most of all, because with a family of four that included two teenagers, she never knew what she was going to find.

"Well, it has to be cleaned sooner or later, I might as well get it over with," she groaned, opening the door to survey the damage. She was about to inspect the toilet when something on the back of the door caught her eye; she bent down to look at it.

The words I HATE T.K., I HATE T.K., I HATE T.K. were scrawled across the door in bright pink highlighter.

"What the…" Bunni stared at the words in shock. Who would have done this? T.K. was such a sweet boy, so she couldn't imagine either of her children writing such terrible things about him—on the bathroom door, no less!

Davis was in his room talking to Ken, Yolei, Kari, and Cody when all of a sudden his mother's voice exploded down the hall.

"June, Davis, GET IN HERE, RIGHT NOW!"

"I'll be right back," Davis said, jumping to his feet. He caught up with June in the hallway and they went into the bathroom hesitantly.

"Yeah, Mom?" June asked, frowning. Knowing her mother, it had to be something pretty bad to make her yell like she did.

"Which one of you did this?" Bunni demanded, pointing at the door.

"Not me," Davis insisted. "I don't have a pink marker, it must have been June."

"I didn't write that!" June protested, glaring daggers at her younger brother. "I hardly know T.K., why would I talk trash about someone I hardly know?"

"Oh yeah, T.K.'s one of my friends," Davis retorted.

"Well, one of you better own up to this," Bunni said firmly. She left the bathroom to get some cleaning supplies, and came back with a bucket of water and a scrub brush.

"What's that for?" Davis whined.

"You both can clean up this mess," Bunni snapped, handing the brush to June. Once she was out of earshot, June threw the brush at Davis, who in turn, stuck his tongue out at her.

The two siblings worked in silence to clean the door, and once it was back to its normally white, Marker-Free self, Davis moped into to his room.

"What happened, Davis?" Kari wondered, noticing his sulky expression.

"Mom thinks I wrote something mean on our bathroom door," Davis growled. An annoyed snort from the doorway caused him to whirl around.

"It did look like your handwriting, Davis," June spoke up.

"Shut up," Davis muttered.

June glared at him once more, and stormed off.

"Your sister looks pretty mad," Yolei commented, moving Davis' backpack off the computer chair and sitting down.

Davis didn't reply.

Suddenly, June came back into the room, her face livid. "Mom's blaming me, I hope you're happy!" she yelled. Spotting Davis' back pack on the floor, she grabbed it and started rifling through his stuff.

"Hey! Stay out of my bag, June!" Davis shouted.

June threw down the bag, and saw a marker lying near Ken's feet. "Found it!" She held up the pink highlighter, grinning. "You did it, Davis!"

"That's not mine!" Davis protested.

"Then whose is it?" June countered.

"A friends'," Davis said.

Shuzo Motomiya had arrived home by now, and upon hearing their shouting, stood in the doorway. "Hey, w hat's going on in here?" he demanded.

"Davis wrote 'I HATE T.K. on the bathroom door," June growled.

Kari gasped. Davis wrote that?

"I did not!" Davis hissed. "That pink marker isn't mine!" He was standing one ankle turned out, and Yolei saw a bright pink star drawn on his sock.

"What's that on your sock?" she wondered. The symbol looked like the Crest of Courage.

"Nothing," Davis said quickly, hiding one foot behind the other.

"I just did a load of laundry for your mother yesterday," Shuzo insisted. "I didn't see any pink on the socks."

"It came that way," Davis said.

"Enough—you're grounded," Shuzo growled.

Davis glared at everyone and left the room.

"Why would Davis do something like that?" Cody wondered.

"He's probably acting up because T.K. is dating Kari instead of him," June spoke up. "But he doesn't have to go around trying to get other people into trouble over stupid things."

Kari frowned, suddenly feeling very guilty. "I'll talk to him," she suggested.

"Are you sure, Kari?" T.K. asked. "There's no need to, Davis will get over it like anything else."

"Don't worry, T.K. I know what I'm doing," Kari smiled. But Davis was one tough nut to crack, so it wasn't going to be easy.

A/N: Is it just me or has this story finally found its own direction? Has Davis been acting weird because of Kari and T.K.? REALLY? Hmmm…

R&R!
