TK,

TK heard Kari's soft voice calling out to him.

TK, please wake up.

"Kari?" TK answered quietly, his eyes slowly peeling open.

Thinking his mind was playing a trick on him TK blinked a couple of times not believe his eyes. Watching him with soft loving eyes Kari brushed her hand against his cheek. Feeling her warm hand TK knew he couldn't be dreaming, this was her, Kari was back. Trying to recognize the setting around them TK found himself unable name where they were. He lay on cool white tile that matched the walls around him, if he really was dreaming why could he feel Kari's presence there beside him?

You're awake, I'm glad.

Kari smiled but as TK heard her voice he had noticed that her lips did not move with her words. TK then realized that this wasn't Kari, instead it was her thoughts, the thoughts that he had been hearing when he was in the digital world, realizing the place that they were in now was his mind.

"Kari," He said. "I'll come save you I promise. I'll find my way to the dark ocean."

Kari's sweet smile faded as he said these words.

He's after us both, you mustn't come. If he gets control over both hope and light no good can happen.

"But I can't just leave you."

Kari slowly stroked his hair and gave a final smile before she started to fade away from TK's sight.


"No," TK shouted as he jolted up from the bed where he lay. "W-where am I?"

Sweat pouring down his face TK looked around. TK frantically checked his surroundings. A damp towel had fallen from his face and onto the floor. He soon realized he was in the same room he had woken up in earlier that morning, only this time on the bottom bunk. To him this fact only brought one thought to his mind, they had taken him back from the digital world, taking him further away from Kari.

"TK, calm down it's okay you're alright." Matt assured him as he got up from his chair and went over to the bed side.

By the time the group had brought TK back from the digital world it was already late, black clouds covered the sky and rain poured onto the roof with the occasional thunder and lightning. The whole time TK was out cold Matt was by his side, watching him toss back and forth in his sleep.

"What the hell do you think you were doing?" Matt lectured.

"What did it look like I was doing?" TK said sarcastically rolling his eyes.

"What's wrong with you," Matt yelled. "This whole trip you've been full of attitude and whenever someone tries to ask why you just tell them off. Do you have any idea how worried you made everyone, how worried you made me?"

"Does it really matter? Kari's the one missing isn't she, why wasn't anyone going off looking for her? Am I the only one who gets how serious this is? We NEED to find her now." TK answered back pulling himself out of bed.

"We all know we need to find her," Matt said grabbing TK's arm before he could run off again. "That's why we're trying to think up a SENSIBLE plan, not just charging in without thinking. Get back in bed you're not going anywhere."

TK pulled his arm away glaring at Matt.

"Why do you care if I go anywhere or not? I'm sorry for running off before OKAY, now can we please go plan or something." TK complained heading for the door, but again stopped by Matt who grabbed his shoulder.

"You want to know why I care, maybe it's because, oh I don't know, you're my kid brother, and I'm supposed to be protecting you. How do you not understand that?"

"I'm not a kid anymore Matt," TK said turning his back to him. "I don't need to be protected anymore I've been fine growing up on my own without an older brother, or a father."

Matt dropped his grip from TK's shoulder, was this about their parents' divorce? He never really gave thought on how TK became the "man" of the family when he and his father left. After the divorce he and TK never really saw much of each other until the summer they traveled to the digital world. Now that he thought about it that was really the first time he started to be protective of TK. After that summer he and TK didn't see much. When they were together he tried to be an example for TK, but he was a bit embarrassed that other people would know that his weak spot is his brother.

"TK," Matt said breaking the silence. "Just because-"

"I don't need someone who pretends they are a good older brother in my life" TK cut Matt off before running out the bedroom door.


TK ran down the dark all way, from what it looked like it was midnight and everyone must have been asleep. Feeling hot tears coming to his eyes he couldn't believe what he and just said. The truth was that he needed his older brother more than anything at times but since they lived apart Matt was never there and since TK was the only one there for their mom he tried to be strong for her. Even though what he said was a complete lie he knew that was the only way he could get out of the room. Blinking back the tears from his eyes TK went back to his original train of thought trying to get back to the dark ocean.

Quietly checking the computer room, just in case anyone was in there, TK noticed that Izzy's laptop had been moved. Closing the door TK wondered how he would make it back to the digital world when he heard footsteps coming from the direct of his bedroom. Knowing it was Matt going to run after him, and knowing he couldn't look his brother in the face after what he just said TK bolted for the stairs.

Even if Matt was trying to catch up to him for two possible reasons, one, was that he was coming to yell at him, and two, he was still dead set against TK going to find Kari on his own again. Either choice, TK didn't like any, running down the stairs he noticed two sleeping figures on the couch, it was Tai and Izzy. No doubt they were thinking up a plan before falling asleep because Izzy had his laptop already opened a digiport and ready for whenever everyone had woken up. Thinking fast TK took the laptop from the table, not realizing it was still plugged into the wall for charging TK tripped over the cord, making a loud crashing noise.

"W-what," Izzy woke up startled. "Hey TK you're awake, what are you doing with my laptop?"

TK had caused both Tai and Izzy to wake up.

"Hey kid you better not be thinking of doing what I think you're doing." Tai said getting up from the trying to get the laptop.

"TK," Matt said coming down the stairs, the first thing he saw was Tai trying to pry the laptop from TK's clutch. "I already told you, you're not going back there."

Matt ran over, planning to help Tai control his little brother, but before he could TK ripped the laptop from Tai's hands and ran for the door.

"Hey," Izzy yelled. "It's raining outside you're going to wreck my computer!"

"I don't think that's what we should worry about right now." Tai said running after TK.

TK ran to the picnic table just a bit away from the cabin placing the laptop on it frantically looking for his digivice. Matt, Tai, and Izzy ran out after him, from the light that shone from the open door way TK could see that Sora and Mimi had also been woken up and were standing at the door watching what was happening.

"TK will you stop please, just come inside so we can talk okay." Matt pleaded.

"There's no time for tha-" TK started to say but suddenly fell silent.

With his digivice in his hand TK could have easily escaped but instead he just stood in place frozen, looking down to the ground.

"Hey TK what's wrong?" Matt ran over to him shaking his brother's shoulders trying to snap him out of his current state.

TK lifted his face slowly; his normal bright eyes were suddenly all black and staring out into space.

"TK snap out of it," Matt said continuing to shake him. "What's happening?"

"T-the…the," TK mumbled his eyes still black.

"The what?"

"The dark ocean." TK mumbled.

His digivice dropped from his hand and as it did a dull light shone from it, at the same time the computer screen did the same thing.

"The dark ocean?" Matt questioned not letting go of TK's shoulders.

But before he knew it there was a blinding flash of light; closing his eyes shut Matt couldn't feel TK anymore. When the light vanished he wiped his eyes open, only to find TK was gone…again.
