Dedicated to Steph for convincing me to finally write this last chapter, to Joie and other Steph for support, and who ever actually read my story!
A/N: My last, and longest chapter… so plz review!!
The play was finally over. And the strange part was that Kari was actually felt real remorse at the end. It was as if TK really had died, and that made her ending scene, very… teary. She held TK's hand as they emerged from behind the curtains. There was wild cheering, there were even some people in the crowds crying. Kari would have smiled, and hugged TK, that is would of. If TK hadn't broken her heart…
TK took quick side glances at Kari as they gave their final bows. No emotion, maybe there was a hint of a smile, but TK was pretty damn sure that it wasn't because of him. An old lady hobbled up to the actors with a bunch of roses. " You and that Juliet really make quite a couple. Drop in on me sometime if you and that girl, have, problems…" The lady poked TK in the ribs, and winked at him. TK cringed, he wasn't quite used to ladies around 6 times his age hitting on him. Seeing what just happened, Kari burst into a fit of laughter.
Wait, maybe she had forgiven him. "So, does that mean you've forgiven me?" asked TK, lost puppy eyes. Kari's face-hardened, though inside she almost wanted to say, "YES! I REALLY LOVE YOU TK!", she turned her heel and said curtly, "NO!" Behind the curtain she was met by Yolei and Maru, that both shot death rays at TK.
"What did you do now, TA?" TK turned around, startled. Oh, it was Davis. "Nothing, really important." Go away Davis he willed in his head, go away, go away… damn, that psychic training book he spent so much on was a bust… Davis rushed off towards back stage, his lost puppy instinct returning, despite his injuries. "Well then, I'll just go circle my prey…Kari! Do you need a shoulder to lean on?"
A/N : I'm going to begin slight Davis bashing for my last chap!
Yolei spotted Davis before he was in a 10 m radius. It wasn't too hard, anybody close by could have heard the cries of, "I'll save you from that horrible TA! Kari, my sweet!" A/N: maybe that was overdoing it…
"Kari, I just got an idea, why don't you go out with Davis to make TK jealous?" Kari was in an undeniably bad mood, "I don't want to make him jealous, I want him to love me. Just love me, not with tricks or anything! Ugh… I want to kill him…"

DING DONG! The doorbell just happened to come right when she decided to take the tub of cookies and cream ice cream out. As long as it wasn't TK, it didn't matter if she looked like she'd been through a washing machine, she thought as she walked towards the door. But wait, what if it was TK? She mopped her eyes on her shirt as she pulled open the door. Please be TK, please be TK… Kari willed. Creak… "Hi Kari!" It was Matt. Damn, that psychic power thing that she had bought with TK didn't work… TK! "Oh, hey Matt. You wanna talk to Tai? Well he left with Sora for that semi-formal thing…"
A/N: TAIORA ALL THE WAY!!! Sorry for non Taiora lovers… I just had to hint at it though!
Matt walked in with that non-chalant thingy that all the Ishida's seemed to have… "Nope, I came to talk to you about TK." Kari tried to smile sweetly as she stabbed her spoon deeper, and deeper into the ice cream tub, imagining it was a certain person… It was strange though, how one moment she hated him, the next she just wished he would say sorry, love her. "What about your pig-headed little brother that broke my heart, and ruined out friendship, and I will never forgive?" Matt coughed, he was beginning to understand what Tai had meant when he said that having a little sister was a lot more complicated than a brother. "Um… he does love you, you know. You just have to give him time to accept that fact." Kari had already began to throw herself into the ice cream, "Mhmm, I'm listening… Then why isn't he here, telling me that he loves me?" she asked. Pause, silence. Not that she really expected an answer, it was one of those rhetorical questions.
"Well why don't you talk to him about it then?" asked Matt, starring enviously at the ice cream…
A/N: I like Matt, I really do… It's just that I had to put him kinda off character to make him fit with the story… Just to tell you!
Scowl attached with a low type of evil angry growl. "Through out the whole time me and TK have been friends, I've always been apologizing for both of us, having to be the one who said something first. God, if he really loves me, why can't he show me. I can't just know it, I have to feel it." Kari looked at a clock on the wall, "Oh damn. It's 10:30… Tai and Sora will be back soon. We better go," She picked up her jacket, shoved the ice cream into the fridge, and opened the door. "Aren't you coming?" tapping her toe impatiently, the last thing she needed after her screwed love life, was to see her brother try to put his "moves" on Sora. Matt got up, "Um.. you mind if I take the ice cream?" Kari just shook her head as she walked out of the apartment. Matt came out after her, with ice cream in hand. They continued to run down the hall once they heard Tai's voice and Sora's giggling.
" Don't TELL TK that I love him. Just nudge him and remind him that I do, kay?" Matt nodded as he boarded his buss. "Bye Kari. Say hi to Tai for me too then."

TK walked through the night with his hands in his pockets. He looked back and forth, maybe, just maybe, if he had kissed Kari back, he could be here, now, with her. Why didn't he? He still asked himself that question. It's just that, Kari was so, angelic. What if he wasn't good enough for her? What if he lost her, and it was his fault? What if he was going to lose her and there was nothing to do to help her? What if she deserved better? So half an hour later TK was visiting Matt's apartment asking the same questions.
Matt shook his head, "Well, you'll have to forget about all those questions. You'll never know the answers to those questions unless you ask her." Pacing, " But she HATES me… have you realized how that fit into the picture?" Matt got up and patted his little brother on the back. "She doesn't really hate you. She's punishing you. Now… all girls love serenade…"
A/N: Well, I'm pretty sure that's not true!!! But hey, go along with the story… and more David bashing to come….!
After Matt had left the Kamiya's apartment and Tai had decided to go to Sora's, Kari ended up getting right back up to answer the door. It was her best friends Maru, and Yolei. "Hey Kari! We've decided to have a 'cheer-up' night with you!" Yolei held out a bag full of movies, chips, rice balls, and other junk. "And we can do each other's ha-ir, and give manicures, and…" Kari cut in, "Um.. Isn't that a bit stereo-typical?" Maru pouted, "Too bad!" and she came in. Kari was about to follow… "Wait! What is HE doing here?" She pointed accusingly at Davis, who was tailing behind Yolei. He tried a pathetic falsetto, saying " Um.. I'm here to do your nails… like totally, right?" Yolei picked up Davis by the collar, "Okay, if you're here to do out nails, and our hair…"
After a little while Davis was serving drinks, polishing nails, braiding hair, and having different shades of lipstick tried on him. "NO DAVIS!!! I said cherry red, not maroon!" Maru screamed. Davis looked up at her, "Remind me why I'm doing this?" Yolei answered before Maru or Kari could set in. " Number one, so we won't throw you out of that window," she nodded towards the balcony… heading 9 floors down, " or so we won't call the security and say that you followed us here… a hentai 14 year old stalker…" Kari giggled, " oh come on. Leave him alone…Oh! Davis! Pop corn's ready! Go get it!"

"You can do it TK! Just sing it with heart." Matt coaxed TK as they reached the Kamiya's apartment. TK shuffled with his toes, "Um, I don't quite get how this is supposed to work…" Matt let out an exasperated sigh. "Okay, you climb up to her balcony like Romeo and Juliet. Throw a pebble at her window, and when she comes out you start singing that song I wrote for you! Then she'll fall for you for sure."
"Matt, their apartment is on the 9th floor. How should I 'climb' up there?" Matt shoved TK up the stairwell, "Who cares, be imaginative, and here," Matt thrust a dandelion into TK's hands, "Give that to her." "But it's a dandeli-"
Matt shoved TK all the way up the stairs, "DON'T BE PICKY!"
TK made his way up to the eight floor, and got an elderly old man to let him use their balcony. He took the pebble in his pocket and threw it at the balcony door, it almost missed, and he regretted not joining the ball throw team, but afterwards he waited.
Kari heard something hit the balcony. This had disrupted their conversation of a really kawai movie star, that Davis had, as he called 'unwillingly' participated in. "I'll get it Kari. If it's some burglar, I'll defend you!" Davis hobbled on his crutches out the balcony door…
TK saw the door, and he immediately began singing…
I'm falling even more in love with you
Heart's afire with passion for you
I'll always…
A/N: I can't write lyrics.. yet I like writing poetry… strange isn't it? OS ignore my feeble attempts…
"TK?!" Davis screamed.
"Davis?!" TK screamed back, horrified that his cracking voice had been heard by someone other than Kari…
Kari rushed to the balcony, nearly knocking Davis over. "Watch out Kar-" "TK?" Kari yelled as she looked down. TK waved. "Um hi Kari…"
~
Maru, Yolei, and forcefully Davis, had left. Now it was only Kari and TK. Kari rested her head in the crook of TK's neck. "You know TK, you should have told be all about your feelings before." "I tried Kari, but you wouldn't let me say anything without sending out your death rays." Kari punched TK lightly in the stomach. "I'm sorry TK." They leaned in each other's arms for a while longer. "I'll love you forever Kari." Kari looked up into his deep azure eyes, fiercly. "Forever is… how long?" TK looked right back this time. "Eternity, Kari. My angel." TK bent down and kissed Kari softly on the lips. Eternity he had said. Forever.
