Tk entered every hallway he was banned from and ran down the stairs. There was no way he was letting Kari marry that creep. He loved her and he knew Kari loved him; he didn't care how selfish he was being.

He smashed opened the door of Mr. Kamyia's office. He knew very well he could be shot dead for this but Kari was so important to him that he didn't care.

Mr. Kamyia looked up from his desk at Tk with wide eyes in shock. Clearly no one had ever dared to do such a thing before Tk. "May I help you?" he asked annoyed.

"You may kill me for this but I don't care I can't let you force Kari to marry that idiot!" Tk said as bravely as he could.

"Excuse me?" Mr. Kamyia said.

"I love her, Mr. Kamyia. I listen to her I'm there for her can you say the same about Jason? He's a self centered jerk who only cares about himself. He doesn't care about what Kari wants or needs. Did you know she loves to paint? Do you honestly think she'll even be able to have that as a hobby with him? He's using her and your family, I can take care of her I'll make her happy please don't do this!" he took a breath and Mr. Kamyia for the first time looked impressed with him.

"You finally showed you have some guts, kid? Impressive I like someone who stands up to me." He got up from his seat and came around the desk to stand before Tk.

"So will you stop the wedding?" Tk asked hopeful.

"Listen kid I like you. You're poor but you have something that I like. Kari isn't marrying Jason anymore." He whispered.

"So you'll call off the wedding?" Tk said smiling.

"The weddings a fake…" he looked at Tk seriously. "But that's a secret and you could put my whole family in danger if it gets out."

"But then why wouldn't Kari tell me that she said she trusted me."

Mr. Kamyia sighed and sat back down at his desk. "She doesn't know. No one does but me and now you."

Tk looked surprised. "You trust me with this?"

He nodded. "When you first walked in with Kari I knew you weren't some random boy she'd bring home. If you were willing to risk your life for her I knew you were the real deal. Tk listen to me. I know Jason isn't a good kid. His family is behind the break-ins."

Tk's mouth dropped open. "What?"

"I hadn't realized it before but I hired investigators to search them, just to keep things safe and I found out the truth. They want me dead and Tai so they can take control of everything I have. That was the whole reason of having Jason marry Kari so he would be in charge when Tai and I died." He looked weary and serious. "I can't let them know I know so I moved up the wedding to try and trick them."

"Mr. Kamyia what are you going to do?" Tk said in awe. "You can't let her marry him."

Mr. Kamyia smiled. "Oh I'm not going to. The wedding is a set up in my part. I found out from my investigators that they were planning something for when Kari and Jason got married. I arranged the minister not to truly marry them so once they attack I would have my people take them down."

"But Kari has to think she married him?" he asked upset.

"Yes because it won't seem real unless she doesn't know. She's not a very good actress. I'm sorry but it's to protect my family." He said seriously. "I need you to keep this a secret and in case something goes wrong…take Kari and run."

Tk looked up. "You trust me with your daughter?"

"You proved to me you truly love her. I trust you but I'm not going to lie I'd approve of you more if you were rich. I will help you though. I'm sick of seeing Kari unhappy I want the best for her and I've decided you are it. I can help you become rich and powerful as I am, but I need to realize Kari needs you." He said.

"I'll protect her with my life, Mr. Kamyia I really will." Tk said happily.

"I know you will…but keep everything I told you a secret it's for my family's own good." He looked tired and needed help.

"Can I help you Mr. Kamyia?" he asked politely.

Mr. Kamyia smiled. "Just take care of my daughter."

"Promise"

Kari lay in her bed and heard knocking at the door. "Go away" she mumbled but the door opened anyway.

"Come on get out of bed Kari." Sora said to the young girl.

"Did you not here I'm getting married in a couple days?" Kari moaned her face in her pillow.

"I did hear, I'm sorry Kari but maybe you can still change your parent's minds." Sora said encouragingly.

Kari lifted her head. "You don't know you in-laws very well do you?"

"Okay silly idea but really something has to work out I believe things always turn out for the best. If you and Tk are meant to be then maybe someone will fall threw the roof and kill Jason and you won't have to marry him." She said brightly.

"Your weird ideas sound like Tai's I think you're around him too much." Kari said laughing.

"Maybe it's the hormones…" Sora said.

"Maybe, I just wish my parents would see how wonderful Tk is. But my mother oh my mother wants someone just like Jason for me. She'll never approve of Tk." Kari sighed.

"Your mom is very…how do I put this…wanting to be involved in your life."

"But she's treating me like I'm a child. I don't want an arranged marriage." Kari said upset.

"I know I can't imagine being taken from Tai…how bout we try to get Tk to run away with you?" Sora offered.

"Yes then me and Tk can live happily ever after together and there's nothing that women can do about it." Kari said happily.

"Okay, go find Tk tell him the plan and I'll arrange everything."

"Won't Tai be mad?"

"I'll say I had a mood swing."

Kari laughed.

Kari raced down to the stable where Tk was working later on in the day. She saw him focused on what he was doing but raced up anyway.

"Hey Tk." She said flirting.

He smiled at her. "Hey"

"So I have a plan. We're going to run away together tonight so I don't have to marry that idiot." Kari said excitedly.

Tk looked at her and his smiled faded. "We can't do that Kari."

Kari looked hurt. "Why not, Tk you do realize they are going to make me marry Jason if we don't?"

Tk looked at her with pain in his eyes, "Kari, maybe that's what's best for you."

Kari's eyes widened. "What are you saying? You said you loved me, did you lie, Takeru?"

"No Kari, it's just right now thing look bad for your family with the recent break ins I don't want to cause anymore problems maybe it's best if we let it go right now." He said holding her arms.

"No what's best is you fighting for me! I thought you cared about me. My god was this your plan, to get a job working for my family? I bet it was, you never cared about me at all! I hate you!" She screamed running off.

"Kari!" he yelled but it was no use she was out of sight.

Kari ran into the house and nearly knocked Tai over doing so then fell as a result of him being in her way.

"Kari, what the heck…wait what's wrong?" Tai asked.

"Tk…doesn't love me! I hate this I hate my life. Now I'm going to go marry stupid Jason and live the rest of my life as an obedient wife just like dad wanted me to be." Kari said as she got up and ran for her room.

"What's she talking about?" Tai asked Sora who just turned to go find Tk.

"Um hello?! Does anyone tell me anything?" Tai asked.

"Your fly's undone sir." Cody said walking by.

"Thank you." Tai said.
