Chapter 10: Open Up to Me

"UGH! Screw you!" Tk's attacker yelled running off the coat and away from the medium length blue haired boy who was standing in front of an extremely red Yolie with his hand out.

"Can I help you up?"

Yolie nodded weakly and took the boy's hand as he pulled her up. "Thank you." She managed to breath out and then looked over to where Kari was leaning over Tk.

"You need to go to a doctor!" Kari pleaded with the boy who had blood drenched on his face. "Your nose might be broken!"

"Kari I'm not going to a doctor!" He spat back at her but was holding his head in obvious pain from hitting the tar. He started to stand but groaned in pain holding his head tighter.

"Tk you have to go. Stop being stubborn!" She put her hands on his arm leading him to where Yolie and Ken were standing. "Come on I'll take you."

"I don't need a babysitter…" He muttered but didn't struggle against her.

Kari rolled her eyes at him as she pulled him over to the other two. "I need to take Tk to the hospital." He grunted but she ignored him. "I think his nose is broken." She looked up at the blonde who stood next to her. His nose was covered in blood and he had a pained look on his face whether he was willing to admit it or not.

"Okay I'll come with you." Yolie said and then looked towards Ken. "Thank you so much for saving us."

"I didn't need saving." Tk commented and Kari gave him a dirty look telling him to shut up. "I'm just saying…"

"Well that guy was violent and so I want to thank you…" Yolie said again blushing.

Ken gave her a soft smile. "No problem. I'm going to go but I'm glad you're okay now." He turned and walked away with Yolie watching dreamily as he left.

"He's so sophisticated…" She muttered with her head tilted and a small smile on her phase.

"Yeah he's a gem can we go now?" Tk asked aggravated.

Kari rolled her eyes at him. "Let's get him to the hospital."

...

"This is a cute room I suppose." Mimi said as she shoved her overly large bag into Sora's bedroom. Izzy had asked Sora some more questions about the digital world so he could get an idea on how to get the four of them there. Sora had told him about the day at summer camp when they were transported to the digital world, how it a weirdly started to snow in the middle of summer and every other little detail she could remember from that day. Then her and Mimi had gone to Mimi's apartment to grab and overnight bag that looked more like a two week long vacation bag and headed back to Sora's.

"What the heck happened to your window?" She asked Sora pointing to the damaged window. "Did you get mad and throw something?"

"No" Sora said with a slight smirk knowing very well that the only reason Mimi would suggest that is because that's something Mimi would have done. "One of the freak storms caused it."

"Oh." Mimi said sitting down on Sora's bed. "Are those storms caused by the digital world?"

Sora thought about it. "Hmm I don't know that's actually a really good question."

"The hand that grabbed me was cold…like ice." She added looking at her feet swaying off the bed.

"Mimi why didn't you bring this up when we were at Izzy's?" Sora asked taking a seat on her bed next to her bedt friend. She sat cross legged and had her back to the wall as Mimi lay her whole body across the side of the bed.

"I didn't want to talk to him…"

"Clearly, but why?" Sora asked. "I mean you never used to have a problem with each other in the other life thing. I mean you got on his last nerve and you would always yell at him when he focused more on his computer than you but you didn't hate each other. You were friends."

Mimi smirked. "That's weird to think about. Me being friends with Izzy."

"Believe me, that wasn't the weirdest thing in your life." Sora joked with a half-smile. She had missed just sitting and talking to Mimi. She wasn't going to tell her that she had always suspected that Mimi and Izzy had a crush on each other before everything changed because she didn't want to hear Mimi's reaction to that one.

"Why do you think they want me?" Mimi asked seriously looking up at Sora.

"I really don't know…" Sora admitted honestly. She didn't know why they were so bent on taking Mimi but she did know that they were becoming more vicious every time.

….

"Hi my name is Dr. Joe Kido." A blue haired young man said as he walked into the room Yolie, Kari, and Tk had been sitting in while waiting to get Tk's nose fixed. "Actually I'm not officially a doctor yet but I am a med student assistant so I'll be helping you out today along with your real doctor."

"Oh my god my broken nose is going to be handled like a lousy homework assignment." Tk said with a huff.

The student doctor Joe looked a bit nervous after Tk's comment but continued to speak. "Well your doctor wants me to ask you what happened." He took out a clipboard and pen ready to record what Tk said.

"I got in a fight." Tk said with a shrug.

"He got his face smashed into cement!" Kari protested against what Tk was saying.

"Whatever." Tk crossed his arms.

"Uh…" Joe stuttered feeling uncomfortable with the situation. "Can you tell me where the pain is?"

"In my nose!" Tk yelled in aggravation. "Where's my real doctor?"

"I'll go try to find him…" Joe said nervously turning and leaving.

As soon as the door shut Kari turned towards Tk. "Nice you upset a poor med student just trying to help you!"

"He asked me where the pain was after I told him I thought I broke my nose! He's an idiot!"

"He's doing his job!" Kari yelled back.

"I'm going to go get some coffee…." Yolie said feeling awkward with the two fighting and needing to get away from it. She turned and left leaving the two alone.

Kari shook her head at him. "I don't understand you Tk. No matter what anyone does you act like a jerk to them! You didn't even thank Ken for helping us! We all could have been seriously hurt!"

"Yeah well I didn't ask you and Yolie to come and but in!" Tk yelled back at her. "I was doing fine on my own!"

"He was holding you up in the air!"

"I was fine!"

"Why do you insist on pushing us away!" She asked. "I don't understand. We try to help you and you tell us we're interfering. I try to be your friend and you find every reason not to be friends with me."

"You're obviously not getting the hint that I don't want to be your friend!" He yelled at her in frustration.

She looked hurt and like she was about to cry. "F..fine." She spat out as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I…I…just though that everyone wanted a friend."

He couldn't help but soften towards her and guilt began to flood through him. He hadn't meant to make her cry. "Kari…" He started but she shook her head.

"No…I'm sorry. I was too pushy." She sniffed trying to fight herself from full out crying. "I'll just go…"

She turned to leave when Tk's door opened and a tall older man walked through with his own clip board. He looked up and saw Kari who's heart sank.

"Miss Kamyia? Oh dear please tell me you didn't have another attack?"

She felt her face begin to blush having Tk in the room who she could feel watching her. "N..no…Dr. Chung, I'm here because Tk may have broken his nose." She signaled her hand behind her not wanting to look at Tk.

"Oh okay, that's good, I mean not about his nose but that you're not here because…" He saw the nervous look on Kari's face. "Well maybe I should just take a look at Tk's nose then over here." He walked over to Tk and started to look over his nose. "Hmm" He said while checking it out. "Well it's broken all right." He concluded after a few minutes.

"Yay…" Tk muttered looking over and making eye contact with Kari who had her arms crossed and was leaning against the wall waiting for the doctor to finish. She eventually broke the contact and looked at the ground kicking the top of her shoe.

"Okay well I have to go get the cast (lol I don't know what it's called) to put over your nose. I'll be right back." Dr. Chung said turning to leave the room with a head nod to Kari.

"I don't want to talk about it." Kari said before Tk could say anything.

"Who said I was going to ask?" Tk said keeping his tough exterior up.

Kari shrugged. "You looked like you were going to say something."

"Oh." Was all he could say knowing very well he was going to say something.

"Tk why do you push people away?" Kari asked upfront and the blonde boy looked slightly surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you don't want any friends and you said that hide out of yours was a getaway for you so you obviously don't want to be at home….I know it's not my business I just don't get it."

He was about to tell her that she was right it wasn't her business when the words "I don't want to get close to people who are just going to leave me in the end" came out instead.

Kari looked at him surprised. She hadn't expected him to answer but she was glad he had. "How do you know everyone's going to leave you?"

He shrugged. "It's life." He had already said too much.

"Is it your family?" She asked. She knew she was pushing too much but if he was starting to admit things maybe he'd actually open up to her.

He stared at her silently not wanting to speak afraid that he'd admit something he didn't want to.

She sighed. "I can't relate or tell you that I know how you feel having parents get divorced. I'm assuming that's what happened considering you and you brother have different last names?"

He still didn't answer so she took that as a yes.

"I wish you wouldn't let your parents' divorce stop you from having friends. And it seems like your brother really cares about you. I mean he came looking for you in that storm. You may be scared to get close but if you live your life pushing everyone away you'll miss out on all the good things."

"You don't understand. They barely even called." He said feeling the need to defend himself. "My dad took my brother and they moved here. There was no switching custody or having separate holidays, it was just two separate families. And now my brother wants to be close to me? That's a joke."

Kari looked at him sadly. "Oh Tk that's awful…" She whispered. "But you have to remember that Matt had the same thing done to him. They forced him into two separate families too."

"Kari once upon a time I would have loved to have Matt back in my life…but now it's just too late."

"It's never too late." Kari said shaking her head. "I just wish you'd realize it."

"Kari why do you care so much?" Tk asked her honestly. "I've done everything to try and push you away but you still keep coming back. What's in it for you?"

Kari looked at him confused. "There's nothing in it for me. Why would there need to be?"

He shrugged. "People don't usually try to help others unless there's something in it for them."

She shook her head. "I just want to help."

He laughed softly. "Well you're something else."

She looked confused. "Is that a bad thing?"

She smiled as he looked at the ground. "No."

Kari smiled widely. "Well Tk I can't believe I'm going to say this but I think we actually just had a moment where you were nice to me!"

He shrugged. "Stranger things have happened." But kept a smile on his face at the same time.

….

"Well Sora texted me." Izzy told Tai who had stayed longer then the girls' at Izzy's. He had automatically assumed leader position of this group.

"What'd she say?" He asked looking at the list of information they had created.

"She said that Mimi had the idea that the strange storms happening lately might have something to do with the digital world and that the digimon hand that attacked her was icy cold." Izzy informed him.

"That's not really helpful…" Tai sighed feeling slightly aggravated. They had been at this for hours but considering neither of the boys remembered anything about this digital world they weren't getting anywhere.

"Well maybe it is…" Izzy said thinking. "Sora said the first time we ever went to the digital world there was a freak snowstorm. Well maybe the weather impacts our connection to the digital world."

"So you think we can access it without those digivices Sora mentioned? But only during a snowstorm?"

"Precisely. If we go to the exact location that sent us to the digital world in the first place during a storm maybe the digital world will open up to us." Izzy explained.

"But Sora said she went there during that storm and nothing opened up to her."

"Sora went when it was raining. We're going back to where it started, we have to go when it snows."

….

A/n – Mainly a Takari chapter but the digital world is coming up! I threw Joe into this chapter cause he kinda fit and because he'll be in the story later on because he is a digidestined. Even if him and Cody haven't really been seen. Anyway hope you enjoy and please review

Reviewers Corner:

I have a dictionary here – nice screenname lol and Genni will appear

Heyman13 – They'll get there. No worries I have a plan.

Gear001 – Lol Ken kicks ass. Yeah I know the whole Ken thing is confusing. He's not a digidestined or the digimon emperor but he did lose his brother. I'm just having it so the digivice wasn't what they fought over, it was just something else that replaced it when the change happened. So he's just a lost and depressed kid. I'll have it explained in the story later on.

Winxcouples – thanks!

Digi yo – Haha yes Tai doesn't know that yet but I did want Sora to finally get some support. She's got a mini team!
