Kari had decided to wait another day before she wanted to see Ken
in private. She wanted to know how her friends would react to what she was going
to do.

"Ms. Kamiya," shouted the teacher.

"Huh?"

"Glad that you are back with us. I will be seeing you in detention. Am I clear?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oh great, now what will I do?"

"Did you say something?"

"No, I didn't"

"Good."

This really angered Kari because she would have a hard time to be
with the other Digidestindes. She hope that it wouldn't take long. Anyways, there
was always free time between classes in which she could talk.

The bell suddenly rang and the class started to exit one at a time. Kari
also joined the group and started to leave until she was greeted by her best friend. "TK," she greeted.
"How are you?"

"I am fine, Kari," he replied with a bit of confusion which Kari couldn't understand.

"Is something wrong TK?" she asked.

"It is about the Digimon Emporer." he replied coldly.

"What about him?"

"He is being to harsh to many of the Digimon." he said with hate in his voice.

"You shouldn't judge him like that.'' she replied, protecting the one she cared for.

"Why not."

"Don't you ever think he was misjudged?"

"What do you mean."

"I mean that ever since the begining of his life he had tradgities," she protected. "From his jealousy of his brother to his death.
If that happened to me then I probably would be just like him."

"Maybe, besides, he should have friends to talk to." he replied not really wondering why his best friend had just said what she said about the enemy.

"As long as we are on the subject," she started. "TK, I didn't know who to go to about this but.."

"What? I am your best friend, you can tell me if something is wrong."

"It is just that I am starting to have feelings for a boy," she said while looking at TK who showed a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"I felt the same way Kari, since we were children."

"It isn't you TK"

"What!" he was shocked. "Who is it? Davis?"

"No, it isn't Davis. It is another boy."

"Tell me his name," (so I can pound him) he thought.

"It is a secret, and I know what you are going to do so don't try it," she said enjoying seeing TK sinking. "We should go to class
now, it is getting late."

Kari just left like nothing had happened leaving TK just staring there at her. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates, still,
recovering from the shock that Kari liked someone other then him. He knew it just then, it was all over.

During math class, Kari was trying to pay attention to the teacher teaching them about fractions. Math, was one
of her hardest subjects, being that Davis was sitting right next to her. Everyday, he would be sending her notes, filled with
stuff such as: "Will you go out with me?" or "Do you love me or TP?" Davis could never get TK's name right, no matter how
he tried. Kari was getting so tired of seeing Davis passing her notes she decided to reply to one for Davis's delight. She was going
to reply it in a special way: Speak whatever comes in your head, just like Mimi taught her.

She really kept all her problems and secrets hidden from everyone. She was very shy and usually became embarrassed. She
hated Davis because he kept telling everyone that she was his girlfriend and not TK's. Kari felt sorry for not likeing either of
the boys who had a crush on her for a very, very, long time.

Kari lightly put the note under the desk, so the teacher wouldn't know what she was doing. Her desk was flooded with
other notes from Davis. She read it inside her head. It said:

Dear, Kari
Why don't you ever reply my notes? Is it because you are ignoring me? I know that you love me and not TV
You are an angel of light, a godess (what! he has good speech). Anything you order me to do I will do it for you. Please say you
love me and only me because I am so much better than TK
Love,
Davis

Reading that note sickened her. She was tired of comparing himself to TK and thinking that she was all his. Now
she knew why she was starting to have feelings for another boy, SHE WAS TIRED OF BEING A THING. Her teacher's droning
on and on calmed her down. She quietly took out her pen and started to write.

To Davis,
Would you please stop bothering me. I am now going to tell you for the first and last time, I DO NOT LOVE YOU,
I ONLY LIKE YOU AS A FRIEND. There is nothing between us and there will never be. Don't you try to hurt TK because
I don't like him either. Now, I am trying to learn fractions so please LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!

Without Sincerety,
Kari

Kari quickly passed the note back to Davis when the teacher had his eyes turned. She saw a glimmer of hope in his
eyes, like TK's but there was more shineing. She quitely watched as his smile turned into a frown and his eyes looked like he
was going to cry. "He probably thought that I was going to say that I love him," she thought. "Serves him right."

After class was over Kari got up but was stopped by Davis. "Did you really mean what you wrote Kari. If you are just
kidding I understand. Now lets have a kiss," she said imatiting Mummymon, their old foe.

Kari got more angrier by the minute, but when Davis tried to kiss her her hands tuned into a fist and her knukles
started to pop out. Finally, she just couldn't take it anymore and let her anger go. She threw her hand going closer and closer
to his face. A small cracking sound is heard just before Davis is sturk down from recieving the hard blow. She could hear cheers
from the other girls: "You go girl!" and "You show him whose boss!"

But she was not so fortunate when the teacher yelled, "Ms. Kamiya! Princeapals Office Now!"

"I am going," she said as she left.

Kari spent at least 5 minutes in the office. She wanted more and more to destroy this school and everyone in it. She
felt like she was becoming more and more evil by the minute. She wanted to escape, forever!

As soon as she left, she grew evil. Like darkness was inside of her. She calmed down, so nobody would be suspicious
of her. She still had to meet up with the other Digidestineds Yolie and Cody. She saw Yolie on a table eating her lunch, Kari
took her own lunch and sat next to her.

"Hey Kari," she greeted. "Is anything the matter?"

"Yes, Yolie." she replied in confusion. "You see, there is this boy I am starting to have feelings for a boy...."

"Way to go Kari!" she inturpted. "So who is it? Davis or T.K.?" she asked.

"I like none of them," she said angrily. Even thinking about those two made Kari's head hurt to it's full extent. She was happy
that she left both of them and she wasn't going to be considered just a possesion anymore. "I like a boy that you like," she
continued. "I hope you aren't mad."

"You mean Izzy!" she replied shocked. "I don't like him anymore you can have him."

"It isn't him either."

"Then who are you talking about?" she asked.

"Can you keep a secret?"

"Sure, I can." she replied.

"I like Ken," she muttered.

"What was that?"

"I LIKE KEN," she screamed a high tone of voice. She saw that people were starting to stare at her and Kari started to turn red
from embarassment.

"I can't believe you Kari," she said. "How low could you go? I mean you out of all people, like Ken Ichijoji, (a.k.a. Digimon Emporer) Are you sick or something?"

"Can't you even believe in love," she said while she got up, full of anger. "Don't ever talk about Ken that way again," she said as she stormed out.

The rest of the day went very slow for Kari. She went through all her classes and then, went to
detention. She also noticed that she was getting angry glares from all the other Digidestined, espically, Davis
and TK since they realized that she didn't care for them. She didn't mind, however, she couldn't wait till she
escaped from this crum-hole she called Earth, and probably live on her own life. She already saw all the other
Digidestined except Cody. Being at this time, he was probably having Kendo practice. Since she knew where
he lived she decided that she would see him after school.

"Ms. Kamiya," said the teacher. "You can leave now."

"Thank you," she said with a hint of disgust.

As soon as she was outside of the school she leaped with joy. "It is so good to get out of there," she
thought. She soon reached the building where Cody was. She rang the bell and was greeted by his mother.

"Hello Kari," she greeted. "What brings you here?"

"I wanted to speak to Cody," she replied. "Is he here?"

"I am sorry but he went to do some chores. Would you like to come in?"

"Thank you," she said as she entered the apartment.

The house where Cody lived was huge. She quickly got a glance of Upamon in Cody's room, he was
feeling sad without him. She sat down on a table and saw Cody's grandfather.

"Excuse me Mr. Hida," she asked. "But can I ask you a few questions?"

"Sure, anyfriend of Cody's is a friend of mine," he replied. "What did you want to ask me."

"You see, it is very complicated," she stuttered. "I want to ask you about love."

"Is there something wrong in your relationship?" he said worried.

"Not really, I was just wondering. Would love have any boundaries?"

"What do you mean?"

"There is this person I care for," she started. "But he is an evil person. If there is true love wouldn't he change."

"I see your problem, you are right. A person would change, but only if he wants to change."

"Thank you for all your help Mr. Hida. I have to go now see you next time," she said as she walked out the door.

"Next time if you come back try to bring coupons for prune juice," he shouted.

"I'll try," she shouted back.

When she reached home she saw everyone acting worried and her mother was going frantic. "Is
something wrong?" she asked.

"Where have you been young lady?" asked her father.

"I was in detention," she replied.

"You should have called us," screamed her father. "Now go to your room," he odered.

"I will," she said as she walked through the door.

Upon entering she was greeted by her Digimon, Gatomon. "You look sad. Is something wrong?" she asked.

"We are going to make some travel plans," she said.

"What do you mean?"

"Tonight we are going to leave."

What would Kari do now? Why is she asking all the other digidestined? Will she really do anything for
Ken or will he change for her? Answers to these questions and more in the next chapter, Rejection.
