*raindrop_chan*: Hi, peeps

*raindrop_chan*: Hi, peeps! I'm extremely hyper as of now 'cuz of my extremely sugar-high snack, so I am compelled to blabber uselessly…but I won't. (audience sighs in relief) so, I'll keep this short and simple. (takes a deep breath) I DON'T OWN DIGIMON!!!!! Aaaaand, I am writing this fic in honour of my Takari-loving friend, Steph C. BTW, this song is "How Did I Fall In Love With You", by – guess – the BSB. (I was just looking around for a song to this fic 'cause I wanted to try a songfic. This is my first.)

*************************************************************

Kari…

T.K. strolled uselessly around the corner, whistling brightly and darting furtive glances at the street around him as he tried to inconspicuously strain for a glimpse of a certain, brown-haired girl. Is she there? She promised she would be…aha! "Heheh…um, hi, Kari!" he said cheerfully, trying to hide the blush that he knew was seeping up from under his collar and the fact that he had been searching for this particular being for more than ten minutes. "Uh…what took you so long?"

Remember when
We never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and brother
We understood
We'd never be
Alone

"My brother spent more than half an hour in the washroom trying to gel his hair JUST PERFECT for 'his beloved Sora'!" Kari laughed, her voice tinkling merrily on the breeze.

T.K. smiled at the pretty girl in front of him. "Oh, well…you know those two…"

Kari giggled slightly. "Yep…more than we want to. So, where do you want to go?"

"Well, I was thinking of…" here T.K. reddened even more. "…a nice, simple…er…walkinthepark?"

Kari smiled. "Sure!"

Those days are gone
Now I want so much
The night is long
And I need your touch
Don't know what to say
Never meant to feel this way
Don't wanna be
Alone tonight

The two walked silently, glancing up now and then to study the other before flicking his/her head down quickly to avoid the inevitable gaze. After a few minutes of glancing, silence, and walking, T.K suddenly stopped. Kari stopped as well to face him.

"Kari…" T.K. squinched his eyes shut, remembering the words his brother Matt had drilled into his brain for this precise moment. "I…I…thinkthisisprettyboringdoyouwanttogosomewhereelse?" he babbled.

Kari stared at him, then relaxed. "Okay…what about…" she chuckled evilly. "My…house?!"

T.K. gawked in horror. Surely she didn't mean…

"…and, we can try out my new nail polish and makeup!" Kari finished, grinning. Her grin widened as T.K.'s cringe of horror became shivering, his teeth chattering and his eyes darting around in fear.

"No, just kidding." Kari laughed in his face as he relaxed visibly.

"Phew."

What can I do to make you mine
Falling so hard
So fast this time
What did I say
What did you do
How did I fall in love with you
(Ooh, hoo)

They arrived at her front door a few minutes later, panting and huffing. "I…won…by *huff huff*…two centimetres!" puffed Kari, leaning over to rest her hands on her knees as T.K. grabbed the key from her hands and pushed the door open. "Hmmph," he grumbled good-naturedly. The two collapsed onto the couch and turned on the TV, flipping channels until they came to rest on a program of wailing singers, smashing their instruments and screaming into the mike. "This looks interesting," teased Kari. "Kinda looks like your brother, doesn't it."

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that
I resemble
I cannot pretend
That we can still be friends
Don't wanna be
Alone tonight

T.K. froze as he heard the lyrics of the song and realized that they were the exact same feelings he had for Kari. He glanced at her, trying to see if she had noticed his uneasiness.

What can I do
To make you mine
Falling so hard
So fast this time
What did I say
What did you do
How did I fall in love with you

Kari stared into nothing as she contemplated the song, her mind whirling. Did T.K. know? Could he tell?

Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah
I don't wanna live this life
I don't wanna say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

"Kari? Are you all right?"


What can I do
To make you mine
Falling so hard
So fast this time
What did I say
What did you do
How did I fall in love with you

She shook her head to clear the emotions and nodded, back to her usual perky self. "Yep! Um…let's watch…um.. Sailor Moon!"

T.K. gaped at her. "S-Sailor Moon?! Um…I think I should go home now. My brother is paging me," he mumbled as his pocket vibrated slightly.

Kari sighed.


What can I do
To make you mine
Falling so hard
So fast this time
Everything's changed
We never knew

She suddenly stiffened and stumbled off the couch, running to the front door and throwing it open to rush outside into the cool spring breeze.

"Kari?!…"

How did I fall
In love
With you

"T.K…. how can you ever understand what I feel for you?" she whispered to herself, fighting back tears and sprinting across the road to the other side. A sea of blurry tears obscured her vision…just before a truck skidded into her and blackness came.

Whoo hoo, a cliffhanger!!!!! Sorry, but I'll get the next chapter up and ready in a few days (if not less). Pleeeeeeeeeeeze review! This is my first Digi fic AND my first Takari at that! (Gets pleading and *convincing* - notice that – puppy eyes and OF COURSE, you do not object and review immediately – DUH)
