Here is chapter 10. First I'd like to thank you for the reviews. Here we go!

I do not own Digimon. I do not own its characters either.

Kari walked into the Lodge, after running away from that mysterious Kuri. She found Gatomon and they went up to their room to talk. Kari sat on the bed next to her partner.

"T.K. and I had another fight." Kari said. Gatomon sighed. She couldn't believe that T.K. had hurt Kari so, just by breaking her trust.

"I think I hurt him, Gatomon." Kari said. Gatomon looked up at him in disbelief.

"Kari, he hurt you. He broke your trust, and yelled at you, and you're still worried about him?" Gatomon said. Kari hung her head. Gatomon realized her error. "I didn't mean that as a bad thing, you have a very forgiving heart, Kari. I was just wondering why you're wondering about him so much."

"I guess I still love him, Gatomon." Kari said. Gatomon sighed again at her partner.

"What makes you think that?" Gatomon asked.

"I was running and Tai caught up with me. We were talking, and he told me he knew how I feel about T.K. I got to thinking, what if I still like T.K.? I mean, if Tai can figure it out anyone can right?"

"Well, it seems like everyone knows except T.K. So what are you going to do?"

"Nothing," Kari said.

"You need to tell him Kari." Gatomon said. Kari shook her head.

"He's hurt me, I need to let go of him." Kari said uncertainly. Gatomon didn't buy it.

"Who are you trying to convince, me or yourself? Kari, I'm sorry, but you have a forgiving heart. You forgave me after all of the evil things I've done under Myotismon. You forgave Ken for what he did as the Digital Emperor. You forgave Yolei for telling Tai and Sora's secret. And you've forgiven T.K. for how he's hurt you."

"Well, after our fight, what if he's still mad?" Kari asked.

"Now I doubt that. T.K. is not a person to keep grudges. Now, don't get me wrong, he won't forget it, but he has a forgiving heart, as do you." Gatomon replied. Kari nodded. She had spoken to T.K. in the heat of the moment, and had not meant to hurt him.

"What if he doesn't like me back?" Kari whispered, looking away. Gatomon walked over, and put her paw on Kari's leg.

"Kari, he's your best friend. You've known him for six years. If you had any doubt, it should've been erased the other day, when you were about to kiss him. Don't think I missed that." Gatomon said. Kari blushed, looking away. "Just take a chance, Kari. I'm usually right about these things."

"Oh yeah?" Kari said teasingly. "What love experience do you have? Patamon?" The cat-like digimon blushed, but didn't say anything.

"You're not the only one who notices things, Gatomon." Her Digimon just looked at the floor.

"Does he know?" Kari asked. Gatomon looked back up at Kari, and stared into her eyes.

"I don't know." Gatomon whispered. "But don't worry about me. I'll be okay. You need to tell T.K. your feelings and make up with him." Gatomon shooed her partner toward the door. Kari then nodded and left their room. She crept down the hallway to T.K.'s room. She was about to knock when she saw it was cracked open. Then she heard voices. One she immediately recognized as T.K., the other she recognized as Davis. She also heard their conversation. "You're right. I can change, and make things right. By apologizing to Kari." T.K. said.

"And do you still have feelings for her?" Davis asked.

"I don't like her like that anymore." Kari heard T.K. say. She then backed up in a panic, and hit the wall pretty hard.

"What was that?" She heard, and then she began to run. She ran all the way back to her room, and threw herself on her bed facedown and cried.

"What happened?" Gatomon asked.

"Oh, Gatomon! He said that he didn't like me anymore." Kari said. Gatomon sighed once more. She hugged her friend, who remained facedown sobbing.

T.K. was in his room. He had previously checked on Patamon, who was doing okay, but hadn't woken up yet. But since Sora left him in his room, he hadn't talked to the others, especially Kari, who was still out. He was sitting on his bed thinking, when he heard a knock on his door. Thinking it might be Tai; he cautiously walked to the door.

"Who is it?" T.K. asked.

"Hey, it's Davis. Let me in!" Davis' voice cried from behind the door. T.K. rolled his eyes and opened the door. Davis stood there grinning.

"Hey T.J., can I come in?" Davis asked. Even though T.K. wanted to be alone, he invited his friend in.

"What do you need Davis?" T.K. asked, ignoring Davis' mispronunciation of his name.

"I just thought you needed to talk." Davis said solemnly. T.K. stared at him for the longest time. Then T.K. began to laugh.

"What?" Davis demanded.

"You don't just go to someone just to talk Davis. So really why are you here?" T.K. said laughing. Davis' grin disappeared. Then he got a mischievous look, which only lasted a quick second.

"How do I let Kari know I like her? As in really like her?" Davis said, avoiding T.K.'s eyes. T.K.'s smile immediately wiped from his face.

"What do you mean?" T.K. asked.

"Well, I guess I'm asking if I want to be more than friends with Kari, what would you say?" Davis asked. T.K. was about to hit Davis. How dare he ask T.K. about Kari? Especially after what happened. T.K. and Kari were still fighting, Davis shouldn't think that T.K. would be a good person for . . . Then a thought occurred to T.K.

"Why are you asking me? Sure, I'm friends with her, but couldn't you ask Yolei, or Tai, or Gatomon?" T.K. asked.

"Ummm . . ." Davis said. T.K. smiled.

"Nice try Davis, but reverse psychology is not going to work. You were trying to get me mad so I realize my feelings for Kari. Well it won't work, we're just friends." T.K. explained. Davis let out a long breath.

"Am I that obvious?" Davis asked. T.K. nodded.

"Kinda." T.K. said.

"Are you still mad at her?" Davis asked, serious.

"No, but I do still feel betrayed. She doesn't trust me at all. I think she hates me." T.K. said. Davis slapped him across the face. T.K. put his hand to where Davis slapped him. If he kept getting hit, T.K. would have to wear a helmet.

"Now Kari is the most kindest, most loving person in this world, or the real one that is. She loves you and you love her, and everyone sees it but you. Now you made a mistake, and you hurt a lot of people, but you can still redeem yourself." Davis said hotly. T.K. stared at him shocked. He had never heard Davis talk like that before. T.K. then nodded.

"You're right. I can change, and make things right. By apologizing to Kari." Davis nodded.

"And do you still have feelings for her?" Davis said, still wondering if T.K. denied it. T.K. then smiled.

"I don't like her like that anymore." T.K. said. Davis looked at him in surprise, But T.K. continued:

"I realize that I love her now with all of my heart." They then heard a large thump on the wall outside the door.

"What was that?" Davis exclaimed. T.K. shrugged and stood up excited.

"I'm going to go tell her. Thank-you Davis, Thank-you." T.K. said and ran out into the hall to Kari's room. He knocked on the door. Gatomon opened it. T.K. walked in and saw Kari on the bed crying. He instinctively started toward her, until he heard his D-terminal beep. He picked it up, and looked at it. Alarmed, he forgot what he was doing, and left the room. Gatomon walked over to Kari's nightstand, and opened her D-terminal.

"Kari, there's a problem." Gatomon said.

Tai and Agumon rushed into the main dining room about the same time as T.K. Joe, Mimi, and their partners ran in as well. Soon after, Cody, Kari, Izzy, Adrian, and Davis rushed in, with their partners.

"Did you all get the message?" Tai asked. Everyone nodded. Tai looked at it again.

"Guys, We ran into some trouble. Yolei and Ken are trapped in a mountainside cave. Request backup. – Ian"

Tai nodded.

"Alright, we'll need to send some people up there. Cody and Armadillomon, you're a must; you need to see if Digmon can get into the cave. Joe and Gomamon, you're also a must, since you're our only Doctor. Now I have to stay here. Izzy and Tentomon to stay here and try to recover our network. T.K., since Patamon's hurt, you'll also stay here. Kari . . . I need you to stay here too." He finished hesitantly.

"What!?!" Came the expected protest. Kari stood there, still tears in her eyes from crying. She didn't make any eye contact with anyone except her brother. Tai sighed.

"I'm sorry Kari, but I need you here, in case they attack early." Tai said.

"Attack early? I think you might be protecting me a bit too much." Kari retorted.

"This isn't about you!" Tai hissed. "Don't argue, Kari, we'll talk later." Tai said. Kari sat back irritated. Yolei was her friend! If anyone goes, it should be her! Gatomon looked at her friend oddly. Ever since yesterday, Kari had been acting in unpredictable moods. She would have odd mood swings. For example, Kari was upset about T.K. one minute, and angry at her brother the next. Something was happening to Kari, and Gatomon didn't like it.

"I'll go." Adrian said.

"Well, that's kind of you, but we can take care of it." Tai said.

"I really don't mind." Adrian said. Tai opened his mouth to object, when he saw a familiar look of determination. He didn't know where, but he had seen that exact look before.

"Fine, you go with Joe, Davis, and Cody and their Digimon, the rest of us will stay here, until further notice. Good luck." Tai ended the impromptu meeting. The people he had mentioned were going, got up, and headed out the door. Joe walked back in, and went over to Kari.

"Watch over Patamon, okay?" Joe said. "He should be fine, but if there is any problems, contact me." Kari nodded and Joe walked out to join the others. Kari looked over at Tai, who met her gaze. He started to head toward her, but she turned away and ran out of the room. Gatomon sighed, and followed her. It was going to take a lot to recover Kari. As she walked into the other room, she saw T.K. approaching Kari as she was walking.

"Kari, I need to tell you something." T.K. said from behind her. She turned around, tears in her eyes, and slapped him right across the face. Now T.K. had been, in the course of the past few days, been slapped by his brother; hit by Tai, and slapped by Davis. Kari's slap was not as hard as any of those three, but it hurt T.K. the worse. He stood there, as his eyes watered. Kari was already crying.

"Just stay away from me T.K.," She whispered softly. She then turned around, and without looking ran to her room. T.K. stood there dumbly. He slowly brought a hand to his face, where she had slapped him. He bit away tears as he slowly walked away. Gatomon, seeing this entire scene take place, shot dagger glances after T.K. He was making her job hard enough. Gatomon then started after Kari.
