This is for my friend Jen. Girl keep writing those fics!
They rock!!
Princess Kari
and her new sister Princess Sora walked down the long corridor of the dreary
castle. Sora had just been betrothed to
Kari's brother Prince Tai. Sora and Tai had known each other for years and had
grown fond of each other. It took a lot of courage but he finally asked for
Sora's hand in marriage. Sadly for
Princess Kari, she had no say in the matter. She was the youngest and was to be
married to the ally lands son. She knew who Davis was and despised him. She
wanted to marry for love not for the purpose of just having to. She went to
talk to Sora about it but Sora didn't know the answer to it.
" It is just how royalty works.." Is what she said. Kari
was depressed all afternoon. She really did not want to marry Davis but
according to her father and mother she must. Her brother knew she didn't like
Davis and tried to argue with his parents but he failed. After that Kari went
to the royal fortuneteller to see what was in store for her.
* flashback*
" Madam Inoue?"
Princess Kari whispered softly as she crept into the dim room lit with candles.
" Come my dear, don't be shy."
Kari was not only nervous but also a little afraid of
the fortune room.
" Madam Inoue.. I wish to know what is in store for me
in my future."
"Ah. My princess you have a gift unlike any I have ever
seen. You have wild magic flowing through your veins. This makes you strong and
determined. You do not wish to marry this suitor, Davis, do you?"
" No madam I don't"
"Ahh. You are wise child. This Davis is a bad fellow.
You will meet another man soon. You will fall in love but you will be
threatened to be torn apart."
"Who is this man Madam Inoue?"
" That only time will tell. He is your destiny. Davis
will try many unsuccessful, but deathdefiying attempts to rid you of this love
that it so strong. Davis wants you for himself and this is your test of magic.
You must learn to tame your wild magic and learn to use it properly before the
hells and heavens collide and your love is at stake. Your life is going to seem
like it will crumble but if all goes well you will be remembered throughout
Midaria's history."
" Thanks you for that information Madam Inoue. You have
eased my pain of marriage. Thank you." With that Kari left the woman to
herself.
" Ahh. Princess Kari. Your life is about to shatter into
a thousand dreams of the gift keepers…"
* End flashback*
Kari sighed as
she lay down on her bed. Her faithful companion Gatomon purred softly as Kari
rubbed the back of her ears.
" Gato?" She whispered into the fluffball's ears.
The cat sat up and stretched out her claws. Her cerulean
eyes wandered until they met Kari's crimson brown ones.
" Yes, Princess Kari?"
" Ha. Gato you are such a lazy cat. Would you like to
hear my tale of tales?" Kari asked her eyes wide
" Oh dear.. Kari have you been to the Fortune teller
again?"
" Yes." She admitted gloomily " But I have wonderful
news!"
" And just what is this wonderful news?"
"I don't have to marry Davis!"
" Why Princess that is wonderful news!. But…" Gatomon's
eyes wandered from Kari's
" But what Gato? What have you heard?"
" Davis is coming up this Saturday to see his bride. I
am afraid that I also know he is taking you with him to Imationa to negotiate
peace with them."
" Oh." Kari's excitement diminished with Gatomon's news.
" Princess I ment to tell you sooner, but.. You were
just so happy when you came in."
" It's okay Gato. I will be fine. I had other news but
it can wait."
"No lets hear it. It might cheer you up to refresh it in
your mind."
"Oh ok. Madam
Inoue says I have wild magic. Do you know what wild magic is?"
"Oh I believe I do. Wild magic is the magic that comes
from your necklace"
Kari picked up the necklace with a flower like symbol on
it.
" What does my magic have to do with this old thing?"
"Well princess if you would let me explain."
"Go on then"
" Well, as I was saying. That symbol is the crest of
Light. Total there are 10 crests. The crests are: Courage, Love. Hope,
Sincerity, Knowledge, Friendship, Reliability, Sweetness, Miracles, and of
course Light. Your brother has the crest of courage. His power is not as strong
as yours though. Hope and Light are the two most powerful crests of the entire
10. Sora has the crest of love. You can not loose that crest for it holds your
power. Remember what I say Princess Kari. Loosing that crest can mean the end
of your family's life or worse, the end of the world as we know it."
" Wow. All of that from this little crest? That's
strange. All this time I thought it was a gift from my mom."
" No Kari. You have that crest. That crest gives you the
power to have me in the real world and you can talk to me."
"You mean you are from a different world too?"
"Oh yes but this world and my world are linked. I am
from the digital world. Don't worry about that though. That is the least of
your problems. Davis is coming here in two days. There is your biggest problem
for the time being."
" What do you
mean for the time being?"
"You will see Kari. You will see."
Part Two
Kari shuddered
as her best friend Lady Mimi tried to lace up the back of her corset. Today was the day that Prince Davis of
Revellton was coming to take Kari to Imationa. Kari had noticed Mimi's necklace
with a teardrop like symbol on it earlier that day and asked Mimi about it. She
found out about Mimi's sidekick Palmon. Strangely enough Gato and Palmon knew
each other. Palmon said that Mimi's crest was the crest of sincerity. Kari had
shown Mimi her crest and told her of its power as Gatomon had explained.
" Okay Kari. I am done." Mimi said as she tightened the
last lace, and tied the strings into a knot and let them drop.
" Ugg. This thing is so tight." Kari spoke as she
slipped on her pink gown. The gown was slim so she had to wear the corset. The
back was a lace type back just like the corset. Kari had a pink flower in her
clip that held her hair in place. Kari and Mimi left the room to go meet Davis.
Kari had convinced her parents that Mimi should be able to come with her to
Imationa. Davis arrived on time and kissed her hand when he saw her. She was
disgusted at his show of affection for her when she hated him so.
" Are you ready to take leave my Princess?" Davis asked
staring into her eyes, still holding her hand.
" Yes Davis I am lets go quickly. Lady Mimi! We are
ready to leave."
"Yes my Princess."
They got into
the Coach and rode off towards Imationa.
Part three
When they
arrived at Imationa, a red headed boy greeted them.
"Hello, I am courtier Izzy. Please follow me and I shall
take you to King Ishida's royal chambers."
They followed the young man into a castle. They went
down a series of halls that finally ended to the King's chambers. When they
entered the king stood and shook Davis' hand. We then introduced ourselves to
the court.
" Hello, I am Princess Kari of Midaria." She curtsied
and stood up
" Please to meet you I am lady Mimi of Midaria's royal
court."
Then two young men stood up.
" They must be the princes of Imationa." Mimi whispered
to me
" Hello, I am Prince Takeru but you may call me T.k." He
bowed and kissed Kari's hand and Kari blushed
" And I am Prince Matt. Pleasure to meet you." He kissed
Mimi's hand and Mimi blushed seven shades of red.
" Ah. Davis how would you like to discuss this in
private?"
"If that is your wish your highness."
"Okay T.k, Matt, Please take these fine ladies and show
them around the palace gardens."
"Yes Father." They both said simultaneously
Matt offered his arm for Lady Mimi and she took it and
they walked out.
T.k did the same but when they left the sight of his
father's chambers he dropped it.
" I am sorry princess. I didn't mean to take your arm.
It is of shear conscience that I do." He bowed his head slightly
" What you did was not bad. It was very polite. You are
in no trouble for it. I assure you that. You have my word."
T.k blinked in disbelief. A princess of enemy lands
forgiving him was not something he was used to.
"Would you like to see the royal gardens?" T.k asked
" I would love to."
This time Kari
offered her arm and T.k took it nervously
" Don't be nervous Prince T.k I do not bite."
She started to laugh as they walked down the hall.
In the garden the sunlight reflected off of her crest
and made a pink tinted light reflect. She looked at T.k and noticed a chain
around his neck.
" Excuse me prince but are you wearing a necklace?"
" Oh. Um yes I am."
Just as she was about to ask what it looked like a
little flying pig landed on T.k's head.
" Prince, you have something on your head."
"Don't worry, it is my good friend Patamon."
" Oh. Hello Patamon."
Patamon looked to see who was speaking to him.
" Hello. Who may I ask am I speaking to?"
" I am Princess Kari of Midaria."
" Princess Kari!?" Patamon yelped sitting straight and
then flying eye to eye with Kari
She backed away with uncertainty.
" That is I."
" Do you by chance know a Gatomon?"
" Why yes. Yes I do, but what business is this of
yours?"
" Ha! Gatomon is my dear old friend. Has she not come
with you today?"
" No she stayed behind." " Prince I have a question for
you."
" Yes princess?"
"May I see your necklace?"
" Why certainly," he unclasped it and handed it to Kari.
" Here you go."
" You are the child of hope?"
" Yes why?"
" Because I am the child of Light."
Part four:
T.k looked at
Kari in disbelief. The child of light was his town's enemy's princess!
" Why do you look at me in that way?"
" I just can not believe that you are the child of
light." He said as he bit his lip.
" And why is that? My brother is the child of courage
and his fiancée is the child of Love." She stated as she crossed her arms in
anger
" And my dear brother is the child of Friendship."
" And he is walking around somewhere with the child of
sincerity!"
"You mean Lady Mimi is the child of sincerity?"
"I am very sure. I have seen her crest and have met her
friend Palmon."
" So there is a Patamon, Gatomon, Palmon, and Gabumon?
" Also an Agumon."
" And what is a Gabumon?"
" My brother's life long friend as well." " Does your
betrothed Davis have a crest too?"
" No! I wouldn't care if he did anyways I hate him!"
" You hate him? Then why are you marrying him?"
" Because I have to! My parents are forcing me too!"
" Oh then who do you wish to marry?"
" I don't know! I just wish to marry for love and not
force!"
" I am the same way, I have to find a bride soon or my
father will force me into marriage." He tossed Kari an I know what you are
feeling smile then sighed.
Kari's face was a little red and she blamed it on the
sun although it truly was because she had been crying.
" You don't have to say it was because of the sun
princess. I know you were crying. You are the child of light and with out hope
you can not survive. You have to have hope princess. Promise me you will always
keep your hope." He looked at her with deep sparkling ocean blue eyes. She just
stared into his eyes and got lost in the pools. Then when she woke out of her
dream she told him she would.
He smiled his promising smile. It melted her heart away.
Part five
Kari and T.k
talked for about another half an hour until Davis came and ruined it. He was in
a cheerful mood. Kari guessed that they had signed the peace treaty and
everything was underway.
"Well Princess. Are you ready to head back to Midaria?"
Davis asked lending her a hand.
She took it and spoke: " I am ready but let me say good
bye to Prince Takeru. Will you find Mimi and I will meet you in the carriage.
He nodded and walked off.
" I want to thank you for such a good time tonight.
Perhaps we will meet again?"
" I would be able to live with myself if we didn't
Princess Kari." He smiled his best smile and Kari blushed pink.
" Well T.k I will be looking forward to when we do meet
again. And I will be waiting."
"As I will be waiting for you Princess and keeper of
light."
She turned to walk away when he grabbed her arm and
turned her around.
He leaned forward and kissed her gently on her lips and
broke apart quickly. Kari was shocked at his sudden outburst of emotion.
" I didn't want to never kiss the one person who truly
stole my heart. Goodbye my Princess I hope you find the one you truly love."
And with that he walked away. Kari somehow found her way
back to the main courtyard where the carriage was. Kari was silent the entire
ride back to Midaria. She was silent and thinking about T.k and how he would
change her life forever.
Part six
When Davis
dropped Kari and Mimi at the castle and rode away Mimi immediately started
asking questions.
" What did you do with Prince Takeru?"
" We talked about a lot of stuff and he kissed me."
" He kissed you!?" " Oh my goodness!"
"Well, lady Mimi what did you do on your stroll with
Prince Matt?"
" We talked for a while and got to know a lot about each
other and I met his Gabumon. Then when Davis came we said goodnight and he
kissed me. It was so romantic!!"
" Well, I am going to go to sleep. I wish you good dreams
Mimi."
" And good dreams to you also princess."
Part seven
Kari sat up
straight. She was sweating a lot and she had just had a horrible dream. The
king of Imationa signed the treaty and then Revellton declared war on them.
Kari was ripped it to. She wanted to be with Prince T.k but her parents forbad
it. She ran to Lady Mimi's chamber and
knocked on the door, then pushed it open. Mimi was sleeping as usual so Kari
crept to the bedside. She shook Mimi and she woke up.
" Mimi?" Kari whispered softly as Mimi rubbed her eyes.
" What?"
" I had a bad dream can I tell you about it?"
" Sure go on I am listening."
Kari told her about her dream and with the slight gasps
she was silent.
" Wow Kari. Maybe it is a sign. Maybe it is telling you that
T.k is your destiny and Davis is going to rid you of him?"
" What did you just say?"
" I didn't mean to be rude Princess."
" No that's what the fortune teller said." "Thanks you
Mimi. I was never here. I will be leaving tonight. I will see you soon. Please
don't tell Mother or Father or Tai!"
" I promise."
Part eight
Kari draped on
her cloke and headed out of the castle walls on her horse Lightning.
When she stopped
she was at Imationa castle.
She walked to the doorman Izzy. He remembered her and let
her by.
The King of Imationa himself greeted her.
" Please your highness, I wish to see Prince Takeru."
She asked with pleading eyes.
" And why princess, do you wish to see my son?"
" Well." She blushed. " You do know how I am betrothed
to Prince Davis?"
" Yes I know of this."
"Well, I do not love him. I fear I have feelings for
Prince Takeru, and I can not ignore these feelings."
He nodded slowly and summoned Takeru.
When Takeru entered the room his eyes lit up and he
smiled for the first time in 3 days.
They king left them together. Kari walked up to T.k and
smiled. He returned the smile and she wrapped her arms around his neck and
kissed him. They didn't know that Matt and the king were spying on they and
smiled.
" Well Matt. Looks like your brother has found his true
love."
" Yes. And looks like she has found hers."
" Ah. Son but what about you and the fair and beautiful
Lady Mimi?"
"Huh? Oh yes Lady Mimi. Father I was wondering." He was
cut off
"Yes my boy you marry for love not by birthright."
" Thank you father."
*****************************************************
" Oh T.k.. I
missed you so much."
" I haven't smiled since you left."
They kissed again a deep passionate kiss. Kari opened
her mouth just enough to let T.k's tongue slip into her mouth. Their tongues
intertwined until they broke apart for air.
Kari was crying
when they broke apart.
" Kari? What's wrong?"
" Oh T.k… There is so much that you must know and not
enough time to tell it in."
" What is wrong Kari?" T.k and Kari went and sat on the
sofa in his father's chambers.
" T.k I think that Davis is going to try and kill you."
" What makes you say that? Did you hear him speak of
it?"
" No, I had a horrible dream last night and it t'was
about you and Davis." She started crying even harder. He wrapped his arms round
her until she was calm.
Part nine:
Kari told T.k
of her fears and he just listened. He didn't interrupt her when she was talking
he just listened to every word she said. They were chatting of it when Davis
burst through the door filled with anger.
" Kari, Mimi told your parents where you were everyone
was worried sick. Why have you come back here? And without a guardian to make
sure you were okay?"
" I am fine Davis don't worry. Prince T.k and me were
talking of things that are of no concern to you. I am fine and I will back at
the palace when I am finished talking to Prince Takeru. Now will you please
excuse us?"
" No Kari you are coming home now."
" I assure you I am not leaving now. I have not yet
finished my chat with T.k and you are interrupting which is very rude now will
you please excuse us?!" Kari said in a rude manor causing Davis to get very
upset.
" Princess Kari! You are coming with me this instant or
I will force you to come! I am not playing and jokes of you now come now!"
" No." she stood up grasping T.k's hand " I am not
leaving with you."
" What are you
talking about? I am your fiancée! You will come with me now and we will think
nothing of this matter anymore!"
" I will not come with you because I do not love you! I
love Takeru and you can do nothing to have me stop. I always hated you Davis.
Despised you since the day I met you with your stuck up ways. All you want is
to bring hardship and war on the countries of Imationa and Midaria and
Revellton! You are bad news! I never wanted to marry you! And I never will!!!"
Davis and T.k blinked in shock at Kari's outburst.
" You will come with me Princess and I will forbid you
of ever seeing this jerk ever again! Now hurry up! I will not hear anymore of
this! You little wench! Now hurry!" Davis grabbed her arm and she struggled.
T.k stood up and punched Davis in the jaw. He fell to the ground with a thud.
Kari rushed over to T.k and he pushed her aside so she was not to get hurt.
Davis stood up and charged at T.k. T.k dodged the attack and Davis ran straight
into the sofa flipping it backwards. It was T.k's turn. He grabbed Davis be the
wrist and threw him off of the couch. Davis got up and ran towards T.k who was
now by the wall. When Davis was close enough T.k sidestepped and grabbed Davis
slamming him against the wall.
Davis was staring straight into T.k's eyes. The once
Happy ocean blue eyes were full of anger and hate.
T.k's mouth
parted and Davis heard the words that were like a angry whisper, " Get out of
this castle and never come back. You are not welcome here any longer."
T.k let go of Davis and he fell to the ground. When
Davis looked up T.k was talking to Kari and she was looking at T.k not him.
Davis got up and stormed out of the room. This is not over
Prince! Kari will be mine!!! He thought to himself.
