Disclaimer: I still don't own digimon, though I'm working on it.

This chapter was hard to write. Davis and Kari should not be together. Oh well, I promise this story is a Takari. But seriously please review. I don't know the purpose of continuing this story if no one is reviewing it. It makes it hard to tell if people are reading this story and what they think of it. Also, reviews are also a good way to give me ideas (hint hint) for the story. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 4:

Kari was watching TV, enjoying her night. She had spent the evening with Davis; they went to go watch a movie and then got ice cream afterwards. She loved spending time with someone who she loved, and she definitely loved Davis. They were also going to go walking around town together tomorrow. She smiled as she thought of kissing him. The door to the apartment opened, startling her, but she went back to watching TV when she realized it was just her older brother.

"Where were you all this time? I thought you were going to be home earlier."

"Well," he tried to think of a quick excuse since he wasn't supposed to tell her little sister that TK was back in town, "I just met up with the other digidestineds for a little get together. It is Saturday after all."

"Why didn't you invite me then?" Kari asked, even though she wouldn't have went anyways.

"We just… uh… wanted it to be the older digidestineds. Sorry, Kari, I'll bring you along next time," he said, happy that he didn't have to explain more than that.

"Ok, if you say so. Well, it's getting late, so I'm going to call it a night. Goodnight Tai."

"Night, Kari."

"Mom, I'm going to go for a walk around town. You know, try to catch up on things around here."
"Ok, TK. I want you back here within an hour or so, though."

"Yupp. See you later."

Vehicles flooded the streets of Odaiba, but it wasn't as noisy here as it was in America. In America, car horns blared, tires screeched, brakes were slammed, and annoyed voices were constantly heard yelling at other drivers. Here, though, people were a lot more respectful and were careful drivers, well, for the most part. As he continued walking around the town, he started to feel like he never even left. Everything looked the same as when he left. Without recognizing it, he realized he was standing in front of Yolei's department store. He stood outside it, having an inner battle, and finally he decided that Matt was right and he entered the store. He walked around the store trying to act like a normal customer, but he kept taking quick glances at the counter. No one was there at the moment, which meant that Yolei was working but she was "taking a break" like she always did. TK finally summoned up the courage to walk up to the counter and ring to the bell.

"Coming! Just hold on a sec."

Yep, that was definitely Yolei. He took a deep breath as Yolei walked into the store. She had a smile on her face, expecting to greet a regular customer, but the smile was gone as her jaw dropped when she saw TK. TK put on a shy, guilty smile, and he blushed a bit.

"T… TK? Is that you?"

"Yeah, it's me. Hi Yolei."

"Oh, so you actually remember me? Huh? Don't answer any of my texts or e-mails or phone calls. We all thought you died or something. And on top of all that, YOU DON'T EVEN TELL US YOU ARE RETURNING HOME?"

TK was expecting a tirade like this, and he began to wonder why he even walked in to the department store in the first place.

"I'm so sorry Yolei."

Yolei still tried to act angry, and she had every right to be angry at him, but she couldn't hide that she was happy to see him. She continued,

"We thought something happened to you. Not one word from you for the past year. Why? How could you do that to us, you're friends?"

"I… "

"Did it have to do with Kari breaking up with you?"

"Yes," he said, thankful that she understood, but still feeling guilty for what he had done, "Once she broke up with me, I… I took it very hard. It would've been two years that we were together, but she ended it. I handled it very badly. I let myself become angry with her, and that anger made me not want to have anything to do with you guys. That's why I haven't talked to you guys since… you know. I didn't even want to tell my brother that I was coming back."

"You still love her, don't you?"

"Yes, could you ever forgive me."

"Well, TK I'm not going to say that I'm happy with the way you handled things, because I'm not, but I understand. Yes, I forgive you, how would I not be able to forgive someone as innocent as you," she said with a smile on her face.

TK smiled back, "Thanks Yolei, but please do me a favor and don't tell Kari that I'm back yet."

"Why?"

"I just want to talk to her. I don't want her to know that I'm back from anyone else."

"Ok, I see."

"Yolei? Is this customer giving you a hard time?"

TK recognized the voice and was surprised to see that Ken appeared. Ken looked just as surprised at TK.

"TK?"

"Yeah, Ken, it's me. I finally moved back."

"That's great, but we haven't heard from you for so long. Why haven't you…?"

"I'll explain later Ken," Yolei piped up. TK gave her a grateful smile.

"Well, I got to get going. It was great to see you both." TK said, waving bye to his friends.

"Wait, TK," TK stopped and turned back around, "Does this mean you're talking to us again?"

TK laughed, "Of course it does. I missed you guys too much." He turned back around and departed the department store. 'Well, that wasn't too bad after all,' he thought to himself. He really had missed his friends so much.

He kept walking around his hometown, and then found himself on the beach, yes the beach. He instantly remembered when Kari had been taken to the Dark Ocean. He remembered how disappointed he was in himself for not being able to protect Kari. He knew there was something wrong with her, yet he didn't do anything, and, before he knew it, she was gone. The beach was his only clue. He had run up and down the beach looking for her with no luck, but he couldn't give up on her. He had promised that he would protect her at all costs. Now, he was standing at the same spot where he heard Kari call out his name and he was taken to the Dark Ocean. That day was the day TK realized that he loved Kari; he did not know what he would do without her. A tear escaped as he realized that everything between Kari and him was over. He sat down and looked out at the ocean. He looked around and, seeing that no one was paying him any attention, started to sing.

"Some times I feel like I don't have a partner. Some times I feel like my only friend is the city I live in, the city of angels. Lonely as I am, together we cry. Some times I…"

He sang through one of his favorite songs, Under the Bridge, sadness overwhelming him. Then, when he finished, he listened to everything around him. He heard cars driving, the waves rolling into shore, and he heard two very familiar voices. He turned to look to see who it was, and his fear came true. Kari and Davis were walking together, wait, were they really holding hands? If he didn't know better, he'd say that it looked like Kari and Davis were "together." 'That can't be true," he thought, 'I mean, I know Davis always had a huge crush on her, but she always told me that she wouldn't be able to stand being with him. Well, I just have to see for myself then.' He decided he'd follow the couple around to see what they were up to. He ducked behind a tree as they started heading towards the beach.

He felt guilty for spying on his two friends, but he had to know if what he thought was true or not. His eyes opened wide in shock as the two of them stopped walking and leaned in towards each other, their lips meeting. Without realizing it, he kept walking forward and tripped on a rock. He face-planted onto the beach. He quickly got up and saw Davis start to look his way. He quickly turned around and started walking away.

So it was true, what were his two best friends were now in love.

Kari was really enjoying her time with Davis. Not only was he sweet, Davis was funny, good-looking, fit, and kind. She loved being with him. To make things even better, now they were walking on the beach while the sun was setting hand in hand. She couldn't wait for the kiss that was soon to come.

"Wow, the sunset is so beautiful."

"Just like you, Kari."

She was so happy when he started to lean in for the kiss. She met his lips and they embraced, one of the sweetest kisses she had. All too soon it ended as Davis pushed away quickly. He had a confused expression on his face.

"What is it Davis?"

"Look."

He pointed in the distance. She was confused at what he meant at first, but then she saw him. A blond figure was walking away with his head down.

"Who? The blond guy?"

"Yeah, I could've sworn that was TK."

"TK?"

"Yeah, it looked exactly like him."

"You must be going crazy. Are those goggles on a little too tight?"

He smiled and said, "They must be. Now, weren't we busy?"

Kari smiled as they kissed again.
