Chapter 2: Worries

When I got home from the bowling alley, all I could do was worry about T.K. I put my bag away in my room and changed into more comfortable clothes. I walked out into the living room and saw Tai sitting on the couch. He looked at me.

"You alright?.." Asked Tai.

"Yea…no…I don't know, I'm worried about T.K."

"What happened?"

"He remembered something while we were bowling, a bowling ball with wings…or something like that. And he suddenly just started to get weak…I don't know..Ken and Davis took him home."

"Hmmm, let me call Matt and some of the older digidestined, maybe they can help T.K."

Tai took out his cell phone and called the others. I sat down on the couch next to him and decided to watch T.V to try and keep my mind off of my troubles.

After a few minutes Tai put away his phone. Sora, Mimi, Joe, Izzy and Matt are gonna go to T.K."

"Why'd you call all of them?"

"They didn't see T.K yet, so it'd be good for him."

"I guess." My stomach grumbled.

"Didn't eat yet?"

"No, is there anything to eat?"

"Well mom and dad are out right now, she left us some money to get some take-out, you want anything in specific?"

"No…get whatever you want."

"Alright."

Tai went over to the kitchen table, grabbed the money and left.

About 30 minutes later Tai came back with Chinese food. "I got your favorite, Sesame chicken."

"Thanks Tai." I gumbled.

"Food doesn't make YOU feel better? My god what will?"

"The situation is serious Tai, I won't feel better automatically."

"You're right, so what will make you feel better?"

"I don't know Tai….maybe if T.K gets better obviously."

"Well aside from that….I know, I'll let you hug Davis."

I smiled a little. For a few reasons. One I've hugged Davis plenty of times, two it was funny Tai saying he would let me, and three, I already had my first kiss that he didn't know about."

"Seeee, I told you, go ahead you can hug Davis once."

"You do realize, that I've hugged him more than once."

"Well as long as you didn't go past that, or try to kiss him."

"Yea..about that, wait, that day I went out with him, how did you know he even mentioned kissing? You just randomly sent a message, how did you know?"

Tai sighed. "Do you really want to know that answer?"

I thought about it. If I did, I probably would be paranoid for life. "No…"

"That's a good girl, so about Daivs…."

"Don't worry, you can't catch us all the time." I smirked mischievously.

"Aren't you a representation of light?"

"I am…in the digital world….."

"I'm banishing you from ever going out, you're getting homeschooled now." Both Tai and I looked at each other, and burst out laughing.

After we finally stopped I looked at him. "Thanks Tai."

"No problem, that's what big brothers are for. And as for T.K…have a little hope, I'm sure he'll be fine."

"I hope you're right."

I played with my food a little. The kiss with T.K was on my mind.

"Hey Tai….what if, you know…I was with T.K and not Davis?..."

Tai looked at me funny. And then looked at me suspiciously, his eyes narrowing at me. "What's going on?..."

"Nothing I'm just curious."

"You've never asked that question before, and hell I'm pretty sure that was never on your mind up until a few days ago, so spill it."

Damn he knew me good. "Nothing Tai! I just want to know your opinion."

Ti sighed. "Well…honestly speaking? I would trust T.K more with you than Davis, only because of how he's protected you over the years. I'm not saying I prefer him over Davis, but I would just trust him more."

"And if I happened to kiss him?..."

Tai choked on his food. "YOU KISSED HIM?"

"No…no…hypothetically speaking."

Tai calmed down. "Well, he would end up the same as Davis then."

"And what's that?"

"Oh, you didn't know? Dead."

I looked at him, he wasn't smiling, I don't think he was kidding. A change of subject was needed.

"Hey…where's Gatomon?"

"Oh, she said something about meeting up with Patamon or something. Is something going on between those two?"

"I think so..Gatomon hasn't said a word about it though."

"No kidding…"

A few hours later, I was in bed trying to get to sleep. Gatomon still hadn't returned home, but I wasn't worried, she was probably having another late night escapade.

"Can't sleep…"

I got out of bed and turned on my bedroom light. I thought about Davis and how I felt towards him. I wasn't sure how to feel towards him, I didn't know what to do. I ruffed up my hair.

"I hate being a teenager."

I needed a way to fall asleep.

"Maybe reading a boring history book will do the trick…" I thought.

I went to my bad and unzipped it.

"Damn.." I thought. I reached in and pulled out T.K's jacket, I forgot to give it to him. Then an idea came into my head.

I put on the jacket, shut off my light and went back to bed.

T.K's smell still lingered in the jacket, it gave me a familiar comfort, like he was there, holding me, protecting me. The jacket kept me nice and warm.

"I'm not giving his jacket back…"

Sleep came instantly.


"T.K do you really think this is a good idea?" Asked Patamon.

"Honestly? I don't know, but we have to go at some point right. Izzy did have a point, I have to go to the digital world."

"But why alone?"

"I just…have to see something."

It was a long day after school, I didn't even mention to the others I was going. I gave Ayano the excuse that my head was hurting and that I was heading home. I was at the school computer lab. Although I should've learned how to access the portal on my own, it was giving me a headache.

"Do you know how to work the portal Patamon?"

"Nope, you guys did it usually, we just tagged along for the ride."

"Great…"

"But all you guys usually did was put the D-3 in front of the computer and said digi-port open."

"Really? That's it?"

"Well yea…but you also have to look where you want to go."

"Not to mention how to actually getting the portal on…."

"You know your not so different from your brother T.K."

Both me and Patamon turned to the door and saw Tai standing there.

"What do you mean by that?..."

"You like doing things on your own. You're a lone wolf."

I gave him a funny look.

"Anyway, why are you going to the digital world alone?"

"I just have to see something."

"Then I'll come along."

"You don't have to."

"Nonsense, besides, you can't even open the portal on your own."

I sighed. "Point taken."

Tai walked over and almost in an instant the digital portal opened up."

"Any place specifically you'd like to go?"

"Where I lost my memories."

Tai gave me a stern look. "Alright."

Once the location was set, Tai looked at me and said. "Now just say the magic words." I nodded.

"Digiport open!"


"So?..."

I played with my fingers. I told Yolie to come over to my house after school. I told Yolie I wanted to tell her something. But I was hesitating.

"Come on Kari, you can't stay quiet, its about T.K right?"

I nodded.

"You love him don't you?"

I nodded again.

"I so knew it."

"I don't know what to do Yolie…"

"Duh, tell him you do."

"I would..I really would…but I'm with Davis."

"Well…how do you feel towards Davis?"

"I don't know…I like him, I just…don't want to hurt him. It wouldn't be fair to Davis."

Yolie gave me a concerned look. "Kari when it comes to love…not everyone turns out happy. If you stay with Davis just to keep him happy, how happy will you be? What will happen to your happiness? What will happen to your relationship? You guys would end up breaking apart just because of that rift."

I sighed, she was right.

"Do you think you could love Davis one day?"

I thought about it. Davis was kind, sweet, caring, and protective. He had great qualities in him; any girl would be lucky to have him. But there was something he was missing. But I couldn't name it though, which led me into more confusion.

"I don't know Yolie…"

Yolie sighed. "Sometimes I hate us girls…"


"So this is where it happened…."

I stood off the cliff and looked down where I fell.

"Yea….do you remember anything T.K?"

I looked around, but remembered nothing.

"No…it just seems too new to me."

"Hey T.K look what I found!"

I turned around and saw Patamon flying to me holding a stereo.

"A stereo?.." Both Tai and I said at the same time.

"Yea, you played the music for us that night when I was with Gatomon."

"So you two do have something goin' on.." Smirked Tai.

"Well its nothing like what humans do…"

Both Tai and I looked at each other and laughed.

Patamon placed the stereo by my feet.

"Play the music!"

I pressed the play button and slow melodic tunes came out.

"Were you guys dancing to this?" Asked Tai.

"Uhh..yea…" Blushed Patamon.

I smiled at Patamon. I closed my eyes and let the music take flow of me. And then some images popped into my head, like snapshots.

The image of a big beautiful full moon.

Dressed as a waiter serving Patamon and Gatomon.

Looking behind me in moving bushes.

A beautiful Kari in her pajamas.

Dancing in the moonlight.

Feeling something new.

And falling.

I opened my eyes. "I remember, some parts of that night."

"Really?" Asked Patamon.

"Yea…I remember being a waiter to you, and then dancing with Kari and—"

"Wait you danced with Kari?" Both Tai and Patamon asked.

I laughed and scratched the back of my head. "Yea…is that a big deal?"

"Well it was Valentine's Day…" Said Patamon.

"And best friends don't usually slow dance together in the moonlight…its too romantic." Said Tai.

"Well that's the thing…I remembered something else…something I don't think I even knew when I had my memories."

"What's that?"

"I'm not exactly sure, it was this weird feeling…I don't know. But I remember falling off the cliff too."

Tai and Patamon looked at each other.

"Patamon why don't you go look for things that can also jog T.K's memories."

Patamon nodded and flew away.

Tai walked over to me and sat down on the edge of the cliff.

"Sit with me T.K."

I walked over and sat down next to him.

"Sora told me, about what you said. How you kept the promise."

I swallowed hard, I was hoping that was the only thing she told Tai.

"I just wanna say T.K, I never really thanked you for protecting Kari when I wasn't there. I always felt better when you were there for her. Sure I was sure she could take care of herself and the other digidestined were there for her…but if you were there, I knew she would be safe no matter what. Thank you T.K. Thank you for keeping the promise for so long."

I looked at Tai, I didn't really know what to say.

"If you didn't push her out of the way that night..I don't know what I would've done. I almost lost her once because of me, I don't know what I would have done if I actually lost her."

I looked at Tai, the leader of the digidestined. Here he was thanking me for something I did, and I couldn't even remember what exactly.

Tai put his hand on my shoulder.

"I could honestly say that I would be proud to have you as a brother."

And then it all hit me instantly. Tai taking care of me when Matt wasn't around. He was playing the big brother role to me, he treated me like I was his own blood. He led all of us when the odds were against us.

"Courageous Tai…" I said.

He looked at me in the eyes.

"I remember you Tai, maybe it was just because you don't wear the goggles anymore." I joked.

Tai gave me a huge grin.

"Welcome back T.K."


"Do you wanna know see something Yolie?"

"What?"

I went into my closet and pulled out T.K's jacket.

"That's T.K's jacket isn't it?"

"Yea…"

"What about it? Shouldn't you give that back to him?"

"I should….."

"But you won't….why not Kamiya?"

I sighed and put the jacket on.

Yolie opened her eyes in surprise. "In a weird way Kari…it suits you."

"That's not the only thing….I actually NEED it to sleep now."

"Uhh…even I don't do that with Ken."

I walked over to my bed and sat down. I tugged the jacket closer to me.

"I'm pathetic aren't I?"

Yolie smiled.

"No, you're just a love struck teenager."
