Loving Hearts

Takari Edition

Ch. 4-Realizations

Last time, in Chapter Three: Troubles Arise, Davis found out TK and Kari had a relationship and, well, he didn't take it too well.

--------------------

"Oh, TK, I was so worried about you!" Kari exclaimed. Her voice seemed sincere.

TK put a comforting hand on her cheek. "Well, don't you worry anymore, I'm just fine." TK made an attempt to turn over onto his back and sit up, but Kari pushed him back down.

"Oh no you don't! You need your rest and you're staying right where you are!" TK made a protest and Kari pushed him down again, and they did that a couple of more times, until Kari seemed annoyed and fed up. She made a frown and sharply flicked the bandaged side of his head. TK stopped and went to hold his head, until he remembered that it would only send fresh new waves of pain through his body and paused.

"Ow, what was that for?" TK was a little puzzled

"To get you to lie down and stop struggling, silly," she had her hands crossed over her chest and stated in a manner-of-fact way.

"Oh, all right," TK said in resignation.

"Good, now get your rest and I'll see you later." The two said their goodbyes and Kari left.

It was a friday, six days after TK was first submitted into the hospital. He had recovered mostly and was up and about on his feet, although sporting several bruises. He hadn't seen much of Davis that week, and wondered where he was. He wanted to know what Davis was thinking. TK had told everything to Kari and the rest of the new digi-destined, and they seemed a little shocked. However, TK wanted to see Davis and see if he wanted to make amends.

TK spotted Davis. He was sitting on a bench, slumped over and staring at the floor. He was probably deep in thought. TK walked up to Davis. "Hi," was TK's greeting, and it was said in an almost tired way.

Davis made almost no move. "Oh, TK, I expected that you were the last person on earth to want to talk to me." Davis was obviously somewhat depressed. "Especially after saturday..." his voice trailed off.

Davis made to continue but stopped when he felt TK put a hand on his shoulder. Looking up into TK's eyes, they radiated understanding and sympathy. "Don't worry, I can see that you feel sorry for your actions. All I want is to make amends and for you to understand that me and Kari are in a relationship, and there is nothing you can do to stop it." TK paused. "Well, do you understand?"

Davis paused a moment to think. He raised his hand as if to shake it with TK's. His mood changed a little, a bit happier. "Sure I do. I'll forget about this whole thing even." TK took his hand off Davis' shoulder and shook his.

"That's good, and I'll forget too". TK paused as he released Davis' hand. He began walking down the hallway where he met up with Kari. She looked back at Davis, who seemed a little relieved.

"What did you two talk about?" was Kari's question. TK only sighed and hugged Kari towards him.

"I don't think we'll have to worry about him. He's..." TK was searching for the right word. "matured a little. You know, this could be a beautiful relationship with time." With that, the happy couple walked down the hall together.
