"A Reason to Leave" Chapter 6

...She went into the top drawer of her desk and pulled out the notebook and Tk's labtop. She knew Tk had answers they were looking for. She could feel it. She opened the notebook and began to read Tk's neat handwriting:
Kari,
By now you all should have discovered my disapearence. Perhaps you have even figured out I left my D-3 behind. You need to know that I didn't mean to hurt anyone by running away. It was just the opposite. I had to protect everyone I care about. I can't tell you where I'm headed; I don't even know. I do know that you need to be extremely careful. Don't trust anyone except for the digidestined! If you go out make sure that your with someone at all times. There is someone very dangerous after you. I won't say everything now as you will find all you need to know on my labtop. You will need to access it with my username and password.
Username: tkti0010
I won't write down my password incase of interception. I will give you a hint: it's the three people that matter most to me. It's not very helpful, but you'll figure it out. I know you will. Look for a file called 'cd'.
Remember that I love you and care for you. I'll be with you always no matter what happens. Just be careful.
Love, Takeru Takiashi
Kari's hands trembled as she turned on the labtop. What did Tk mean that someone dangerous was after her? He loved her. He wrote it himself. That was why she had to figure this out. If she knew why he had run away, then they'd have a shot at returning him home. The username dialogue came up. She typed in Tk's parents and Matt in every order she could think of. That was useless. She tried Matt, Patamon, and one of Tk's parents in every order. She tried and tried. She didn't feel the least bit drowsy. She had to find out what the stupid password was. It was three in the morning when she tried the winning password.
Username: tkti0010
Password: mattpatamonkari
She nearly whooped with joy as she logged on. Then it hit her. She was one of the people that mattered most in Tk's life. She got all teary-eyed as she hit the 'find' button and typed in 'cd'. A folder came up and she entered it. She saw a computer diary. Tk's computer diary.
'My mom's new boyfriend is a joke. I don't even know him and I'm creeped out by him. How could my mom ask him to move in with us after dating for less than a month? She's crazy...'
Nothing there. Kari opened the next entry.
'There is something seriously wrong with this Stan Kazi guy. He's insane. He hit me while my mom was at work. He says he's going to cause my dad pain by hurting me. He said that my dad turned him in for embezzelment. He said if I tell anyone, Matt, Mom, and Dad will die...'
Kari's eyes widened. Stan hit tk? Stan threatened him? She opened the next one.
'Over the past few days, Stan took the whole abuse thing slow. Too slow. The only injuries I suffered were bruises and cuts. Today, my mom had to work late. Really late. Stan had a short meeting somewhere so I was safe for a little while. I went to bed and was trying to fall asleep, when Stan came home. He barged into my room and...and he raped me. I hate him! I want to kill him! I wish everything would go back to the way it was...'
As soon as she read it, Kari gasped and choked on a sob. The whole thought of Tk suffering through that was nausiating. She was scared to read more, but she pressed on.
'He did it again. That was why I tried to delay my return to the place I once called home. Because of him. I can't live a normal life because of him! I wanna kill him! I think its showing. Kari said I wasn't myself today and I'm not. I'll never be myself again. I hate him!...'
Oh god. Poor Tk. She herself wanted to kill Stan because he caused Tk pain and suffering. She opened the next one.
'Kari came over. She met Stan. I can't describe the feeling I had to protect her from that maniac. Then I walked her home. I looked into her eyes. Damn those eyes. Her beautiful eyes. I look into them and I feel alright. She makes me feel better. I wanted to tell her everything, but I couldn't. When I got home, Stan tried to poison me. Then I found out something terrible. Stan wants Kari. I have to protect her. I'd call on Patamon if I could, but the gate to the Digiworld isn't working. I have to do something before it's too late. I love her more then anything, but I can't risk the lives of my family...I will protect Kari if it's the last thing I do. Stan wants to use me to cause my family pain. I figured I could use that to my advantage. I'll get what I want and he'll get to watch my family suffer. But first as the old saying goes: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer...'
Stan wants me? Tk was trying to protect me, Kari realized. She gulped. She read on to another entry.
'Stan took me to haul boxes in a smuggling operation. My back aches and I faked an injury to go home. Then I called my dad. Stan is smarter then I gave him credit for. He's not just a insane psyco criminal, he's a smart insane psyco criminal. He knew that my dad would recognize him so he changed his name. His original name is Lee Kama...'
Stan's a fraud. That made sence. Kari read the next one.
'I now have Stan/Lee's intitials engraved in my back. He made me realize something, though. My plan can't wait anymore. I won't let Kari go through what I just did. I won't. I can't. I just hope everything works out according to plan...'
Kari hoped she was working according to Tk's plan. She read the final entry.
'I'm running away. I'll slip my labtop and a note in Kari's backpack. She'll figure it out and I'll be long gone, waiting for Stan to get thrown in jail...'
Kari turned of the computer and felt like she had just went through everything poor Tk went through. She would tell the digidestined in the morning (or a couple hours) and they'd turn Stan/Lee in so he could rot in prison. She layed down and tried to sleep. She couldn't.
-
Somewhere far away from there, Tk Takiashi sadly looked out the window of the bus that was headed toward Yokohama. He hoped Kari had figured it out. He hoped his family was alright. If they weren't, I'd know, Tk thought grimly. Unknowingly to him, he was being watched by a pair of big blue eyes.

AN: well, there's what you call a cliff hanger. who watching him? R&R!
