Love and Betrayal. Life is Unfair. Part Five

By Ying Fa

She lay restless in his arms. She was helpless. She was dying before his eyes. The knife still stuck out from her heart. She was bleeding heavily. A crowd had gathered around him. He could here the sirens from the ambulance. They were getting closer and closer. "Please hold on." The crowd was now a blur. "Sir, please let us help her." The man pulled him away from his love. "Can I go along with you" he asked.

"Kari, please don't leave me," this rang in T.K's head constantly. What if Kari died? He still loved her. Kari was still in the operating room. What seemed to be a few minutes felt like an eternity. T.K. paced around the room, making Yolei nauseous and Cody mad. Davis was not allowed in the OR, because Tai threatened to beat him up. Tai felt Davis was responsible for the whole thing, even though T.K. explained it was someone else. How was he suppose to explain this to his parents, let alone the doctors. Tai, Sora, Matt, and Mimi were also there. They wanted to be there to comfort T.K.. Nothing was going to help him. Surgery was being done on Kari; it had been 4 hours.

Suddenly, the light to the OR stopped glowing. Kari's surgery was done. Everyone stood up; all of them were anxious to see if Kari was going to be okay. Kari's parents arrived with an expression of both anger and fear. The doctor pushed through the doors to tell them what had happened. T.K. heard his heart beating harder than usual.

"Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya, I presume?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, how is my daughter?" answered Kari's mother.

"I'm sorry. We did our best. Kari tried to hold on, but she suffered much internal bleeding. Her wounds were too deep. She lost a lot of blood. She's going to stay in the ICU unit. She's probably not going to make it through tonight."

Kari's mother fainted. Mimi burst into tears and collapsed into Matt's arms, and Sora into Tai's. T.K. had no one in his arms. The one he loved was dying and there was nothing he could do about it. Tai, whose emotions had overcome him, lunged at Davis, "This was all your fault. Why didn't you protect her? My sister is dying." Matt and Mr. Kamiya held him back. "How could you make Kari cheat on T.K. You knew Kari was in love with T.K. Why? Why'd you do it?"

"I didn't do anything. She asked me to the park."

T.K. stood there motionless. "Doctor, can I see Kari?"

"Yes, but only you, for now."

T.K. walked down the hall and thought, "This was the work of the stalker. They warned us to watch out. Why couldn't he have hurt me? Why Kari?"

He turned the handle to the door and slowly peered in. Kari was sleeping so peacefully. The many machines around her were keeping her alive. Tears formed in his eyes and started to roll down his cheeks. He reached over and held Kari's hand. He was not going to waste these last few precious moments; the last moments forever. He needed them to perpetuate.

T.K. was unaware of someone watching them. We saw the pain in T.K. and he was overjoyed. "Now you feel how I felt when you took away my Arukenimon. You will see your love die before your eyes." The stalker's tight wrap started to loosen as he prepared to jump. He had accomplished what he left the Digiworld to do. With one Digi-destined dead, the group is not as strong.

Now Arukenimon could rest in peace. Certainly, she would be reborn, but it was no longer the same. He missed her "Spirit Needle". He loved the times they created Digimon from control spires. Those were the days. The stalker leaped out into the night. His reign was finished; it was time to leave. Forever.

"Kari, I know you probably can't hear me. But I love you. I don't mind if you choose Davis over me. I love you. I only care if you're happy." Said T.K. "Remember when we first met as kids. I loved that smile. I still remember when I kissed you. The whole world just melted away. I only wish you to enjoy all those moments again. Kari, don't leave. There's still so much love for you. I know you won't give up. Remember that Dark Ocean where I saved you. You said you cared for me also. I've always cared for you. When I learned you were one of the Digi-destined, my heart leapt. Don't leave. Please."

There was a knock at the door. "May I come in?" It was Izzy. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm alright."

"T.K., I think it's time I revealed something to you. I meant to tell both you and Kari on your wedding day. I made a bet with Tai that you would marry Kari, someday."

"Why do you have to confess that?"

"T.K., that's not all of it. You and Kari are destined. I didn't tell anyone that. Have you ever wondered why you and Kari both had angel Digimon?"

"Yes, but I thought it was a coincidence."

"It wasn't. You and Kari both have the qualities that made the world brighten up. A relationship between you and Kari was obvious from the beginning. I believe you guys hold the key to saving the Digital World."

"What do you mean?"

"This is harder than I thought it would be. Hmmm, remember how you and Kari were able to transport to the Digital World without going through the portal? It was the work of Arukenimon and the heavens above. I believe you were given a warning to be careful?"

"Yes, but how did you know that?"

"I know more than you think. Anyway, I think that Angemon and Angewomon can DNA digi-volve and defeat whatever is currently plaguing the Digi-world. I think it's something avenging Arukenimon's death."

What's happening? Is Izzy correct? But who could be avenging Arukenimon? Is it Mummymon?
