Chapter 14- SincerityPrevails
Kari could not wait for class to be dismissed, well the students were out but there was the fact that Kari always devoted an hour after school ended for grading papers. She only stayed for her usual grading hour so none of the other teachers would notice anything different.
Kari was particularly happy when grading the English essays that even Takuya pulled out a B on it.
As soon as the clock said 3:00 p.m. Kari had packed the rest of the essays, grabbed her coat, and left for her car to go see Mimi.
Kari knew it would be a good idea to tell Izzy first, with his computers he could probably find the rest of the crests. Kari felt that Mimi deserved to know first since it was hers after all. Kari knew that if anyone had found hers she would want to know right away.
Kari had been driving for about a half hour when she pulled into a skyscraper's parking lot where Mimi was currently working as a fashion designer.
Kari got out of her car and forgot to check in at the front desk but was stopped by the man running it who remembered the protocol.
The man asked, "Where are you going Miss?"
He asked it in a kind but also stern voice. The man was only about nineteen or so and wearing the standard uniform of white dress shirt under a navy blue vest with brass buttons as well as matching navy pants. He also had a tie on which was red satin. He had a name tag on saying: Hi, I am Katsuhiko.
Kari tried to reply without sounding rude. "I am married and I am here to see my friend Mimi Tachikawa. She is a fashion designer for the company. If you have to call her tell her that Kari Takashi is here to see her."
"Alright, one second Mrs. Takashi." Katsuhiko told her and then went to the phone Mimi's office.
Kari knew she should not be upset with him. Everyone seemed to think she was crazy to marry T.K. when she did. They were still in college at the time and her mother was not happy at all. She kept saying things like "I'll have grandkids before Tai is married" (luckily Tai got married less than a year later) and "I don't want you wasting your life, you're too young to know true love!" Luckily things turned out okay in the end.
Kari had started leaning on the counter with her elbow since it was taking Katsuhiko so long. Finally he retuned.
"Your all clear, here is your guest tag, just write your full name in it, can't be to careful nowadays, can you?" Katsuhiko handed her the sticker and a black marker.
Kari quickly printed HIKARI TAKASHI above the heading at the bottom off the page saying GUEST and handed the man his marker back.
"You're all set," Katsuhiko said putting some information into the computer. "Just check in before leaving okay?"
"Sure," Kari said hurrying to the metallic silver elevators to visit Mimi on the fourth floor.
Kari quickly knocked on the office door. It took a couple of minutes and finally Mimi's head appeared at the door.
"Kari," Mimi bubbled at seeing her long time friend, "It's so good to see you! Come in."
Mimi held the door open and Kari stepped into a room that reminded her of Tai's college dorm. There was stuff everywhere, on the pink couch, the white chair, and all over the top of her mahogany desk so that you could not even see the top.
The only difference between Tai's dorm and Mimi's office was that you could tell she was hard at work.
Tai's dorm had been full of left over party things, pizza boxes, and homework that he had given up on.
Mimi had designs all over the place: skirts, dresses of all kinds short, long, even prom, pants, tanks, and anything else one could think of.
"I'm sorry Katsuhiko bothered you. The other agency in town sent a spy in a couple of days ago to find out what we were working on. So what do you think of this," Mimi said turning around to show off the outfit.
It looked really good on her. A pink glittery shirt with one spaghetti strap and one think one with a dressy pleated black skirt that came to about her knee. To finish the look Mimi was wearing knee high shinny black boots. Her hair had been pulled into a messy bun.
Kari vaguely noticed that she as not really wearing anything spectacular. She was still in her teaching clothes: black dress pants with a light pink sweater that hugged her body. Under the sweater was a normal white T-Shirt in case she got hot. Her brown corduroy coat was still on.
"It looks great Mimi, Kari said with a twinkle by in her eye, "…but I know how to make it better."
For dramatics and dramatics only Kari slowly reached into her pocket and started pulling the crest out of her pocket ever so slowly. Starting with the string and finally the crest appeared.
Hopefully the room was sound proof, if not, Mimi's scream would wake the dead.
"Kari! Where did you find it?" Mimi cried taking the crest from Kari with shaking hands.
She immediately put the crest on. It did not look great with the outfit but to Mimi it was gold.
"I'll never take it off," Mimi said moreto herself than Kari while admiring the crest around her neck.
"O Kari, thank you so much!" Mimi said coming over to give her a bone crushing hug.
Kari really did not want to ruin her friends' joy but she knew there was going to be a problem. What ever the reason Zoe really cared about the 'necklace' and would want it back.
"There is a problem though, maybe we should sit down," Kari suggested weakly.
Mimi looked nervously at her and nodded. She went to the couch and moved some of her papers off the couch so the two of them could sit.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with my crest?" Mimi asked shakily.
"No, no there isn't anything wrong with the crest exactly…" Kari started trailing off.
"If it works fine, what's wrong with it? Kari you can tell me, I'm not the bratty spoiled girl I was when we met. I can take it, just tell me," Mimi barely whispered.
Kari could see in Mimi's eyes that she was petrified with what Kari might tell her. Kari could say it was not a big deal, even though in some ways it was. Zoe felt it was hers. How could Kari explain to her that the necklace was a powerful crest that was needed to help save two worlds?
Kari took a deep breath, looked down, and just said, "I borrowed it from a student, she said she bought it somewhere and expects it back tomorrow."
Mimi was silent for a couple minutes before saying, "Another person had my crest?"
"Ya. Her name is Zoe. I saw her wearing it in school and asked to borrow it. She wasn't very happy about lending it to me and like I said she wants it back tomorrow," Kari said repeating the most important part of what she needed to say.
Mimi immediately stood up and grabbed her black leather jacket off the rack and started for the door.
"Are you coming?" Mimi asked her.
"Coming where?" Kari asked perplexed from where she was still sitting.
"To Izzy's," she said simply, "If anyone can come up with a plan it's him."
Kari stood up and walked out behind Mimi without saying another word.
They were out of the building quickly, well there was a little explaining when Kari forgot to check out of the building. It was even harder since Mimi was with her.
"Where are you going? I asked you to please check out before leaving and why is Miss. Tachikawa with you?" Katsuhiko said accusingly.
"It's okay Katsuhiko. We are going to see a friend. I'm leaving early," Mimi told him taking off Kari's name tag and giving it to him at the same time. "Have a good day and night Katsuhiko. See you tomorrow."
The last thing Katsuhiko saw was the two women hurrying through the sliding doors. A couple of seconds later he realized that Mimi had placed the name tag in his hand to throw it away.
Myotismon was ready to go to the digital world. The portal in the basement of the castle was complete. It had a stone border around it. It was originally used for good but had been tainted by evil. Surrounding it was the crests and symbols of the Legendary Warriors.
"My Minions," he addressed the many digimon in the area. "It is time for a new reign in the human world. They will fall before us and worship us!"
Many digimon started to cheer while the few prisoners looked glum, scared, and/or num to it.
"It's all over, he's won," Bokomon said to himself aloud.
"No it isn't," the newly captured digimon next to him said.
He looked like a miniature T-Rex with a reddish orange color.
"I wasn't talking to you, you know," Bokomon said going to the other end of the two foot cage he was being held in with Neemon and two digimon that had been caught the night before.
"I'm sorry, I'm Agumon," the digimon said following him to the other end of the cage.
"I know that," Bokomon said still staring outwards toward the tyrant and his henchman.
"Well, then I'll tell you there is still some hope left. You seem like an intelligent digimon so I assume you've heard of the digidestined?" Agumon told him.
"Of course I have," Bokomon said irritably.
"Well then there is still hope," the other digimon said.
He had yellow skin with and a long tail as well as a gold horn protruding. Covering him was a fur coat with blue and white stripes like a tigers. On his stomach was a purple and blue design.
"I'm Gabumon," he said airily.
"I have more faith in the children I know then the ones you do," Bokomon told him while going back to sit next to Neemon who was only quiet because he was sleeping.
"Then they are real," Agumon said with awe.
"Who's real?" Bokomon asked suspiciously.
"The Children of the Legend- the kids that Myotismon is after. The one's he is looking for now, to destroy," Gabumon answered.
"O dear, this is not good, not good at all," Bokomon said.
A couple seconds later an ugly green digimon,an Ogremon, appeared picked up the cage containing the digimon and started for the portal.
To be continued…
This chapter is also fairly short, okay really short so sue me (don't really I'm kidding) but I though this would be a good place to leave off. Izzy and the crest will appear next chapter and the crest borrowing will be explaining too. As always, read and review (ever wonder why people put that at the end after people have already read it? O well.) I am thinking of posting my last saved chapter next week. I then have to get busy writing again. Thanks for all the reviews and support, they are graciously recieved. I remember reading somewhere what I have been doing is notsupposed be done but I will still answer questions.
P.S. Thanks again to those who have read new fic Hope's True Love and the one-shot What-If? which I might add onto, I am not sure yet.
Chapter completed on August 21, 2005
