I am so sorry it took me so long to make the second chapter. I have a really bad internet service and it took me almost a whole month. Anyways, you probably don't want to hear me blabber so I'll let you read it now.
Didn't think Davis would last did you? Me neither.(hehe, J/K, I like Davis, but not with Kari.)
"Hey TK great job at practice today! If you keep that up we're going to kick Kyoto's Coyote a--"
"Yeah, we're going to kill them!" another guy said.
"Yeah..." TK said looking around the gym.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
TK stared at his friend and straightened up. "No one," he said, smiling innocently.
"TK! I've been looking all over for you!" a female's voice said.
"Crap--" TK said, hiding behind a group of guys.
"What?" his friend asked.
"Nothing, I just have to...pick something up!" Man, I can't let her see me, I don't want to say something I might regret... TK thought as he squatted down on the ground.
"TK? What are you doing?" Kari asked, standing in front of TK as he knelt on the ground between a few walking kids.
"Nothing...just...sitting," TK said, grinning stupidly.
"Where have you been? It's like you've been ignoring me for two weeks now...since you've left my house without telling me," Kari said, looking somewhat hurt.
"I...had to go somewhere....and I've been busy this week....and last week...yeah," TK said, nervously.
"TK? Why are you ignoring me?"
"I'm not ignoring you..." TK said.
"Hey! Kari, you wanna go now?" Ken's voice said. TK stared at Kari, then at Ken.
"Yeah...I'll talk to you later TK," Kari said, smiling halfheartedly at TK before she left. TK nodded and watched the two leave. Ken looked back with a familiar glint in his eye. TK glared back.
You wanna fight Mr. Perfect, fine...This means war... he thought, smiling deviously.

Kari walked quietly into her house and noticed a large bouquet of flowers on the counter. She walked up to it and gently touched the petals. She smiled.
"I wonder who that's from," Tai said, surprising Kari.
"I do to..." Kari said, looking for the tag on the flowers. She read the anonymous poem:
When I dream,
I see your smiling face
The corners of your lips,
curved wth such grace
When I dream,
It's my own world of fantasy
Everything goes my way,
Everything is through what I see
When I dream
You're always with me
Your eyes greet me
As if I'm all you see
The only thing I regret
In my dreams-
Is when I wake up
Nothing is what it seemed...
Kari checked the back of the tag but there was no name. Who sent this?
"Who is it?" Tai asked, curiously looking over her shoulder. Kari elbowed him playfully.
"This is none of your business Tai!" Kari said. Tai laughed.
"Probably Ken, I see you guys walking together all the time...holding hands...oooh, little sissy's got a boyfwend!" Tai said mockingly.
"Tai, shut up! What about you?"
Tai's face suddenly became serious. "I don't have a girlfriend," he said. "Hey look...gotta go to work, see ya later all right kid?" Tai said, ruffling up her hair. Kari saw the hurt look in Tai's eyes. This was about Sora.
"Tai...I'm so sorry," Kari whispered.
"It's nothing. We were meant to be friends...that was how it was supposed to be...and that's how it's going to stay..." No matter how much I wish it wasn't... Tai thought, painfully. He covered up the pained face with a reasurring smile. "Gotta go okay?"
Kari nodded and watched her brother walk out the door. She looked back at the poem. Who could have written this? It couldn't have been Ken could it?
Kari walked into the halls of Odaiba High, where she was noticed as a normal Japanese girl. She smiled at her friends passing by. TK smiled brightly as she walked up to her locker. He leaned against the locker next to hers, continuing to watch her.
"What is it TK?" she asked, feeling his eyes on her face. She looked up at him with bright eyes.
"Nothing, just waiting here like I usually do...everyday...you know. Whoever is last going to their locker, the other waits for them?" TK recalled.
"Yeah...that one...TK?" Kari asked.
"Hmm?"
"Why is it, that you ignored me for a whole two weeks, then you just suddenly start acting normal again as if nothing happened. Are you okay?"
"Fine...I'm just fine. I was just...a little jealous I guess, that you weren't spending enough time with your best friend and continuing to see more and more of your new boyfriend."
"I'm sorry TK...it's just that...what if I do something wrong and Ken won't like me anymore?" Kari asked, lowering her voice as she spoke.
"Kari, Ken does like you...if he doesn't like you for you, he's a fool," TK said, his voice getting a little soft and sad. Kari watched as TK looked away to hide the look. She pushed it out of her mind and pretended she didn't see it.
"Thanks..." she said, blushing softly. She looked at TK again and noticed how close they were together. She blushed even deeper. TK stared back at her, his expression tender. He could barely feel Kari's hand softly touch his arm as her lips drew closer to his. Kari could feel TK's skin getting warmer under her palm.
Suddenly, the bell rang.
The two looked away, awkwardly.
"I guess...we better go now...I mean to class," TK said, scratching the back of his head.
Kari nodded. "Yeah...we might...be late," she said, nodding some more. The two walked into class, looking away from each other to hide the deep awkwardness.
Ken had seen the little love scene. TK couldn't take her away from him. He had liked Kari since the first time he met her...he remembered their encounter in the Digiworld. He remembered her beautiful face...her hair tied back...her body a perfect womanly shape.
He had wanted to kiss Kari more than anything, but so far...he was too shy to do so. He was afriad her 'best friend' would get the first chance...and steal her away from him...
Now we don't want that happening now do we? Ken asked himself.
So far, I haven't been fired from this job... Kari said, sighing deeply as she walked into the coffee shop. She noticed a familar brown-haired boy leaning by the counter. Kari quickly grabbed a magazine from a teenage girl and held it to her face, pretending to read.
"Hey! I was like reading like that!" the girl squealed. Kari ignored her and proceeded to the back of the counter. She grabbed her working hat and went to the counter where the brown-haired boy was.
"May I help you?" Kari asked softly.
She could sense the boy's smiling face upon her. "Hey Kari. You gave me the wrong number," the boy said quietly.
"Hello...Davis..." Kari said as if the words were to be said carefully.
"Haven't seen you in a while," Davis said, handing a red rose to her.
Could it be Davis that sent that bouquet? Oh no.... Kari said to herself distastefully. It wasn't that she disliked him...it was just that...she wasn't interested in him. She took the rose from his hands softly without saying a single word or breathing a single breath.
She noticed two other boys come in, their rebelllious looks exchanged by one another, their frowns deeper than the other so no one could tell who's was deeper. Kari felt even more in between. The two guys who came in was...(guess who???) TK...and Ken Ichijouji.
Oh God...at times like this I wish I got fired... Kari said, a lost and frustrated look on her face as she looked at the three guys in the coffee shop.
A/N: Sorry Taiora fans about that little sad Tai scene. I love Taiora too, I don't know why I put that...(~*~*~*~something to add to this ficcy???~*~*~*~)I know that was short but what else could I think of? I need ideas. If you got any, my e-mail address is krisi_chan@yahoo.com Bye now!
