"A Reason to Leave" Chapter 9
* * *
Kari was laying in near unconsiousness on the floor of a very cramped closet. She honestly didn't care how small her prison was, just as long as Kama wasn't anywhere near her. She knew she wasn't that lucky. She sported many cuts and bruises along her body and she wasn't entirely sure if she could walk anymore. Her clothes had been carelessly thrown next to her and she could see her digivice in the pocket of her shorts. If only Gatomon were here... she thought hopefully. She shivered. Her body was an interesting shade of blue. It could have been the lighting or the many bruises that were visible, but her bet was the extreme cold. Her lips trembled as she saw a light turn on underneath the door. Under other circumstances, the light would have given her hope, just like a light at the end of a dark tunnel. This light, however, sucked the hope right out of her. It wasn't long before she was looking up at Lee Kama and two others. And it wasn't long before she was unconsious.
-
Tk flew on his digimon, determined not to give up hope. He had to be strong. He had to save Kari.
"Tk, look down! That's either Gatomon or a mutant kitten," Pegasusmon said as he flew down to greet his friend.
"Kari's in trouble!" Gatomon gasped.
"I know. Hop on!" Tk ordered. Gatomon wasted no time in jumping onto Pegasusmon. They flew faster, hoping that it wasn't too late.
-
Matt didn't now what made him get up. It could have been a gut feeling or maybe it was because he had one to many glasses of water. Whatever it was, it made him check on his brother.
"MOM! DAD!" he shouted upon seeing an empty bed and reading a note scribbled out as if it were written in a hurry. His parents rushed to his side and called the police as soon as they read saw Tk was gone. Matt knew Tk was safe with Patamon, but that didn't stop him from digging out his digivice and heading towards the door.
Nothing could stop him. Not even his protesting parents, who were talking to a policeman on the phone.
-
Kari had woken up in her prison. She wasn't sure how she got there, but she was aching all over. She tasted blood and everything below her stomach was numb. She wished that this was all a really bad dream and that she would just wake up. She thought of how she missed Tk, Tai, and the other digidestined. She thought of how she never got to say goodbye. She choked back a sob, which in turn, hurt her more. It was hard to breathe, let alone cry. She wouldn't waste her limited amount of energy crying.
"Oh little Kari, I'm coming to see you..." Kama's voice called. Kari started to roll around in panic. Then she heard a bang and Kama swear, before she drifted into unconsiousness.
-
Tk ran along a hallway of a very disgusting apartment building that reeked of urine, booze, and cigarette smoke. Pegasusmon had de-digivolved to Patamon and was now flying after him and Gatomon.
BEEP! BEEP! The digivice started to really go off infront of a wooden door. Tk listened against it.
"Oh little Kari, I'm coming to see you..." Kama's voice called. Tk clenched his fists, as Patamon blew the door down with a boom bubble.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Kama yelled. Tk and Gatomon ran in behind Patamon.
"Lightening Claw!" Gatomon shouted, hitting Kama hard in his stomach. Tk followed in suite as he hit Kama's face, knocking the man backwards. Patamon fired boom bubbles at the four men that had sprung to attack.
BANG! A gunshot rang out. One of the men turned a gun on Patamon! The bat-pig fell to the floor, firing one last boom bubble as he disappeared to get re-configured in the digiworld. Both Tk and Gatomon attacked with all their strength, soon rendering the men unconsious.
Tk fell to the floor, crying.
"Tk, he's okay. He'll get re-configured. He'll be fine. Kari, on the other hand, won't be if we don't get her out of here," Gatomon said. Tk nodded. He took out his digivice and followed the signal to a closet door. He turned the handle, hoping to see a familier face.
As soon as Tk opened the door, he had to fight back the urge to vomit. Kari was laying on the floor, naked and unconsious. Cuts and bruises lined her body and she was a pale blue. Her clothes were thrown carelessly beside her. Gatomon ran to her partner and tried to get her to wake up. Tk swallowed hard and stepped into the closed space. He gingerly tilted Kari's body so he could put her clothes on. Her skin was as cold as ice. After he succeeded with that he removed his shirt so he could cover her up more and make an attempt to warm her up. He and Gatomon was so absorbed in making sure Kari was okay, they didn't notice Lee Kama struggle to his feet.
WHACK! Kama belted Tk in the side of the head and kicked Gatomon into a wall. Kama held Tk to the floor with a hand squeezed tightly on the twelve-year-old's neck. Tk clawed at Kama's hand, but it had no effect. He was going to die. Tk was about to slip into unconsiousness when Kama was suddenly knocked off of him. Tk massased his neck and gasped. When he got up he saw Lee Kama and Matt in a heated fist fight. Kama hit Matt in the gut, causing him to double over in pain. Tk jumped into action when he saw Kama withdraw a blade. Tk jumped onto Kama's back, but was thrown off. Kama raised the blade, poised to stab Tk. Tk used his leg to sweep Kama off his feet. Kama crawled towards him and brought the blade down on Tk's leg, causing the boy to scream in pain. He raised the knife again. Matt grabbed one of the other men's guns and shot Lee Kama in the back. Kama fell next to Tk, dead instantly.
Matt was shaking as he tied a piece of his tattered shirt onto his brother's bleeding leg. He then helped Tk over to were Kari laid. Then Matt called the cops on the bad guys phone. Tk sat next to Kari, stroking her head. Gatomon sat next to them, gazing worriedly at Kari.
"I confiscated all of their weapons, so if they try anything, we can defend ourselves," Matt said breaking the silence. A siren sounded in the distance and soon four paramedics and a team of police officers arrived. They were safe.
-
When Kari awoke, she had expected to be locked in a cold, dark room instead of lying in a hospital bed surrounded by her parents and brother. She looked around and felt everything go dark again.
-
Kari woke up a second time and found herself again in the hospital bed. It was real! She was actually at the hospital! She stared at her family's worried faces.
"M-Mom? D-Dad? T-Tai?" she choked out. Tears fell down her parents faces, while her brother grinned stupidly. It hurt her to talk and soon drifted back to sleep.
-
It was almost a week later before Kari could stay awake and talk without wincing. She was awake when Tai came into her room.
"Someone wants to see you," he said, holding the door open for a blonde hopping in on a crutch. Kari smiled.
"Tk!"
"Hey, Kari!" Tk said hobbling over to her and sitting in a chair. Tai left them alone.
"Hows the leg?" Kari asked.
"I'll live. How are you doing?" he asked softly.
"I'm ok. Better than I was," she said. Tk choked back a sob.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you in danger, I should've thought..." Tk apoligized.
"It's okay. We're fine now," Kari said. Tk leaned his head on her hand.
"I'm sorry," he repeated.
"Tk, thanks for saving me," Kari said.
"I couldn't let you get hurt. I love you. I had to do something," Tk said looking up.
"I love you, too," she said looking deep into his eyes. Tk leaned over and gently kissed her forehead. It was over. Lee was dead. They were safe now. He was safe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almost twenty years later, a blond-haired, blue-eyed man awoke suddenly, drenched in a cold sweat. Tk Takiashi got out of bed and steadied himself. He couldn't believe that it still haunted him. That the memories and pain kept all coming back like it all happened only yesterday...
"Bad dream?" a soft voice asked from behind him.
"A nightmare," Tk told his wife of eight years. Kari gently hugged him, knowing how it felt to be haunted by memories that you just couldn't escape.
"He's gone now," Kari murmered.
"No, he's still getting his revenge," Tk whispered softly. Kari traced her fingers along his back, where his scar was. Where her husband's memories and fears of Lee Kama still lived on.
As he held his wife, right then and there, Tk knew that he would never leave her again. No matter what the reason was, he would never leave her again.
