A/N: Okay this idea
came to me about a week ago and I've been dying to get it out. I believe this is a new concept but if it
isn't I didn't mean to take anyone's idea.
This will have a little something for everyone action, romance,
drama. The couples will be Takari,
Taiora, Kenako, and Mimato (my first try at this couple). Please give me feedback what is good and
what is bad…every little bit helps.
Disclaimer: Trust me I don't own them, I wouldn't be working
if I did.
The Greatest Treasure-
No one ever said that life on the sea was easy and the life
of a pirate wasn't much better. It was
a life that meant running from the royal armada and bounty hunters day and
night, living off of what you pillaged from other ships and helpless villages,
and never turning you back on a fellow crew member or deal with a knife in your
back. Yet for those who prospered in
this life could have riches beyond their widest dreams and adventures that many
other men can only dream of.
Despite the drawbacks this was the life the Koushiro Izumi
had chosen for himself, himself and his loyal digital guardian Tentomon. To the rest of the world he was known as the
Pirate of Knowledge due to the fact he would strike any ship carrying books,
ancient artifacts, or scholars. His
trademark red hair and dark eyes would send grown men to their knees begging
for their lives and the women at port to swoon.
At that moment however the dark eyes peered through his
telescope eying his prey. The ship was
a small merchant ship carrying scrolls from China containing the history of the
great nation…something the pirate wanted to posses. A small smile played on his lips as the thought of the prize
entered his mind. He turned his
attention to his first mate, a young man by the name of Cody. His emerald green eyes were focused on the
prize before turning to those of his mentor and father figure.
"Your orders sir?" he asked knowing full well what the
answer would be. They had plundered
hundreds of raids with this crew, the men worked like a well-oiled machine,
going in and getting out before help could arrive. Koushiro smiled drawing his sword causing it to glisten in the
fading sunlight "Attack" he shouted signaling the cannons to fire and the helmsman
to head for the ship full speed and head on.
Soft brown eyes looked through the solid gold telescope as
she spied her own prey sailing helplessly along the water. She was known as the Siren of the Sea,
famous for luring her victims in by singing to them and luring them right into
her waiting clutches. Her real name was
Mimi, but only her faithful digimon Palmon and first mate Yolei called her
that.
Yolei looked through her own looking glass "Looks like we'll
be eating well tonight that ship is from China, and probably full of spices,
silks, and the rarest of art" the girl said with a smile. Mimi nodded in agreement smoothing out her
pink velvet tunic "I've been wanting a new wardrobe for weeks now, and silk is
just what the doctor ordered".
As she finished speaking she turned to address her men who
waited faithfully for her orders like a pack of trained dogs. "All right boys there's a lot of booty on
that boat and a nice cut for you if you can get enough of it" she said in a
commanding voice getting a small round of cheers for her men "Now fire the
cannons and prepare to board" she shouted drawing her sword pointing the blade
at the helpless ship.
A cloaked figure stood alone on the deck of the small trade
ship. His chocolate brown eyes were
hidden under the shadow of the fading sunlight while his unruly brown hair
stuck out of the front. His hand moved
to make sure that his cutlass was still secured at his side while his heart
rate began to speed up with anticipation of what was coming.
His name was Taichi Kaymia and he was a bounty hunter, one
of the best in the land. He had
captured everything from murders to bail jumpers and now he was on the greatest
hunt of his life. King Joe Kido had
summoned him to the palace one month ago for a special audience with him and
him alone. Apparently the King's trade
routes were being ravages by a pair of pirates and he wanted him to catch them.
So with the promise of a large reward and an inflated ego
the young man left the palace and began his hunt. Now after a month of work, bribing, and gossiping he was about to
capture his two prizes. To starboard he
would see Koushiro's ship while off to port Mimi's ship closed in both coming
in for the kill. He stomped his foot on
the deck signal for the rest of his crew to get ready. The trap door leading to the below deck
opened up and three figures emerged two armed and one wrapped tightly in her
own cloak.
Sora was the first to reach his side slipping her arms
around his waist snuggling up against his chest enjoying the sound of his
heartbeat echoing in her ears. He arms
responded out of habit closing around her slim frame as his lips kissed her
forehead gently. "Tonight my dear
everything will come together and we'll go down in history as the greatest
hunters of all".
Amber eyes looked up as him as she pulled away revealing a
crimson tunic laced with the finest gold "I know my love" she said "But you
must admit that the chase has been fun".
Tai drew his sword and bowed respectfully to the two oncoming ships "It
has, they both have been formidable opponents".
"But we won" a new voice said as another brown haired boy
jumped around the deck excitedly. He
name was Davis and he had been Tai's apprentice for three years. When the overexcited boy had first asked to
come along with the crew he had driven everyone crazy, except for Tai, he liked
the fact that the boy was so much like him.
Kari was next to speak.
She was Tai's beloved little sister who he had raised after his parents
died when he was ten. She too had
chocolate eyes and short soft brown hair that framed her face perfectly while a
pale pink dress adorned her figure. She
never fought, only possessing basic skill, enough to defend herself long enough
for help to arrive. In her arms she
held her protector and guardian Gatomon, the little white cat purred in her
arms while her blue eyes were on the approaching ships.
"Davis you still need to be careful, remember an animal is
most dangerous when it's trapped" she said sternly rubbing Gatomon's back
getting louder purrs from the digimon.
The boy practically fell to her feet "Of coarse Kari you don't have to
worry about me and with the money from this capture I can finally afford to
marry you". Her gentle eyes narrowed
momentary as she looked to her brother with pleading eyes, eyes he failed to
notice.
Tai only smiled ruffling the boy's hair "One step at a time
my friend". Sora however noticed and
made a note to talk to both Tai and Kari when this was over. Tai continued to speak "The time has come
you all know what to do Davis, Sora you're here with me and Kari you are down
in the big waiting for our guests". The
three nodded as the hunter stomped on the deck once more signaling for the rest
of his men to get ready for the time had come.
"Sora" Biomon called fluttering down from the crow's nest as
fast as her wings could carry her.
"Shhh" Sora hushed not wanting their presence to be revealed just
yet. The digimon fell silent but didn't
stop her course towards her protectee.
When she landed she whispered quickly "There is another ship approaching
behind us and if it keeps the speed its at it will meet us the same time
Koushiro and Mimi do".
Tai now narrowed his own eyes as he looked through the
looking glass again. He peered through
taking a few seconds for the image to come into focus and when it did one name
came to the forefront of his mind "Yamato Ishida".
Ocean blue eyes studied the horizon and the two ships
converging on the small 'trade' ship.
"You've got to hand it to Tai he sure know how to set a trap" Yamato
muttered putting down his telescope and turning his greatest treasure, his
little brother Takeru. Takeru's
identical eyes met with his and a smile appeared on his face. "You mean you wish that you had thought of
it first".
Matt chuckled "Yes I do, but since the trap is set me can
still cash in on it, that reward the King promised would be more than enough to
allow us to get out of this life forever.
Now remember you stay and watch over the ship while I take a group of
men over to pick up our guests…I don't want you in any danger".
TK nodded "I still don't see why I can't come…haven't I
proven myself in battle?" Matt's
resolve nearly melted right then and there but the desire to protect his
brother was stronger. "Of course but
we've never gone up against two pirates before, not to mention an angry Tai
when he finds out I'm crashing his little party. You would be a target" he paused swallowing "if they got you I
don't know what I'd do so just for my peace stay here with Patamon and get the
brig ready".
"Just be careful" TK said concern filling his voice. Matt smiled and drew his sword bringing
Gabumon to his side "Aren't I always" he said.
With that his men joined him each drawing their swords and talking with
excitement.
Izzy narrowed his eyes when he noticed who other ships were
trying to claim his prize. "Well boys
it looks like someone else wants our booty…are we going to let them have it?"
he yelled turning to face his men, his dark eyes ablaze. The men answered without hesitation "No!"
throwing their fists into the air further proving their point.
The young captain threw fuel on the roaring fire of passion
he had created "Then lets show them what we're made of and attack!" he shouted
grabbing onto one of the ropes hanging from the scaffolds of his ship. His gloved hands closed on tightly and he
look a leap of faith with Tentomon buzzing behind him "Don't worry Izzy' I'm
right behind you".
Cody was next putting his sword in his mouth clutching the blade
with his teeth leaving his hands free for the rope. He landed on the deck seconds later taking the sword into his
hand once more ready to strike down his first opponent.
On the other side of the ship opposing forces were boarding,
and judging by the pink clad leader it was Mimi. Cody's emerald eyes quickly went to his leader waiting for his
orders, this wasn't the first time they had gone after the same ship and it
certainly wouldn't be the last.
In the center of the deck stood three cloaked figures their
faces hidden by the dark cloaks covering their bodies. He assumed that they were weak merchants who
at any second would throw themselves at their feet begging for their lives, yet
they made no such move. Instead the one
in the center began to clap his hands and laugh.
"And what's so funny" Izzy demanded dangerously readying his
sword for the fierce fight ahead. The
figure pulled off the hood revealing a head full of brown hair and two hands
both armed with pistols one pointed at Mimi and the other at Izzy with the
triggers cocked. "We are going for a
little ride so just put down your swords and things won't have to get messy".
Mimi's high pitched laugh floated across the deck "Lets see
I have 50 of the fiercest, skilled men ever to set foot of a ship. Izzy over there have a few boys that can
deliver some minor damage…and there are three of you to fend us all off at
once".
Tai smirk "My dear I am far from alone as you can see I not
only have my finest fighters at my side but" he paused and let out a loud
whistle that echoed in the night "my men all ready to collect the bounty on our
heads". No sooner had Tai finished his
phrase than utter chaos broke lose.
Tai's men attack fast and furious taking on the first man they came
across.
Davis had his hands full as he battled Cody, making a vital
error right off by underestimating the smaller boy. Davis leaped forward hoping to catch the smaller by surprise only
to get one of his own when two emerald eyes flashed with anger and a limber
body flipped twice onto the guardrail.
Cody didn't miss a beat bringing his exquisite blade down fast going for
Davis's legs causing the elder to cry in surprise and jump back. So with every step Davis took back Cody took
two forward slashing, missing fatal blows by mere centimeters. Cody sensed that he was in control of the
battle and pounced on Davis liked a lion on his wounded prey.
With a blinding series of blows creating sparks with their
intensity and knocked Davis's sword out of his hands. Davis looked up in utter shock, a mere boy had bested him n
battle "You just got lucky" he boasted as Cody put the sword to his throat and
pushed him toward the guardrail and into the sea. Cody laughed, "That wasn't luck and you know it…now shut up and
get in the water".
Across the ship Mimi stood ready for her opponent to
arrive. Her soft brown eyes began to
dance and her heartbeat began to rise as the cloaked figure drew its sword and
readied it for battle. Mimi followed
suite "You should know right now that no man has ever bested me in battle" she
said with a hint of pride in her voice.
The figure spoke next surprising Mimi "You should know that I'm not a
man" Sora said pulling off her hood revealing her blazing eyes and long brown
hair.
The two didn't waist time speaking anymore launching
themselves straight into the heated battle.
The two swords met halfway to their intended targets with a crashed that
echoed off into the sea. Sora left her
blade there; long enough to cast Mimi a deadly look and then launched into
another series of attacks. She aimed
high going for the pirate's chest and neck only to be cut off at every
turn. Sora realized that she would get
anywhere the route she was going and jumped up into the air, flipping over Mimi
and landing behind her all in the matter of a few seconds.
Mimi let out a cry of surprise falling backwards to avoid
Sora's blade, but despite all of her skills and quick action, wasn't fast
enough. The blade connected with her
arm cutting in deep forcing blood to flow immediately drenching her
sleeve. The captain cried out again
this time in pain, a cry that caught her first mates attention right away.
Yolei looked up her eyes searching the deck for the source
of the cries when her eyes fell on Mimi she leapt into action. Her opponent didn't even have a chance to
bring his sword up for defense before she had given him a quick slash and moved
on. She slashed her way through the
crowd threatening to run anyone through who got in her way. Sora saw her coming and knew better than to
fight anyone with that level of blind rage, jumping up once more grabbing onto
one of the rope tying the sails down using it to pull herself to safety.
It was there from her vantage point she got her first real
look at the battle, and how bad they were losing. Their men littered the deck with various injuries while the
pirates ransacked their supplies for anything that was of any remote
value. She also saw Tai and Izzy locked
in a life of death battle near the helm, each one making daring thrusts,
risking everything to get the advantage.
It was then her eyes fell on Davis on his way to certain death in the
frigid, shark infested waters below him.
"I knew he wouldn't stay out of trouble" she mumbled cutting the rope
free and jumping off the pole swinging down like Tarzan to save the boy from
the icy fingers of the sea.
Sweat poured down Izzy's brow as the adrenaline ran through
his veins like a wildfire. It had been
ages since he had faced such a skilled opponent and to be honest he was enjoying
the challenge. Tai was matching his
every blow forcing him to think of new moves every second. He chanced a look into his counterpart's
eyes finding a fire burning as bright as his…this wasn't going to end until one
of them surrendered or died.
"Super Shocker" a familiar voice called landing the purple
spark of electricity right between the two dueling men. Izzy looked at his partner with a mixture of
confusion and fury demanding an answer from the bug with just the look in his
dark eyes. Tentomon wasted no time
knowing how much Izzy enjoyed a good fight "I hate to stop your blood bath but
another ship is arriving and Yamato Ishida is on it, I didn't know if you
wanted to press your luck with both of them".
By now Tai had pulled himself off the deck reading himself
for another charge giving Izzy the precious seconds he needed to run his
options through his head. Right now he
was winning but with Mimi injured she and her men would be returning to their
ship taking a good chuck of the fighting force with them. On top of that Matt's men were as well
trained as his own and willing to do anything for money.
So with his mind made up the captain seethed his sword and
bowed respectfully to Tai "You managed to get me to fall into a trap and for
that I will spare your ship…next time you won't be so lucky" he said before
pointing a small silver device at Tentomon causing him to digivolve into
Kabuterimon. Izzy mounted the giant bug
pointing to his ship with his sword and yelling at the top of his lungs
"Retreat!"
His men were confused but obeyed immediately not wanting to
deal with the captain's wrath. They ran
aboard their ship using large poles to push away from the bounty hunters ship
before disappearing into the night.
For a sense seconds there was silence on the ship Tai used
it to survey the damage. Sora seemed
all right as she hauled Davis over the side of the ship, preying the boy's grip
of the guardrail off as she did. That
was the good news; the rest of his men lay bleeding tending to each other's
wounds trying to figure out where they had gone wrong.
They jumped to their feet however when the sounds of someone
boarding the ship once again filled their ears. Fearing it was the pirates they held up their shaky swords
looking to Tai for orders. The bounty
hunter wasn't concerned he merely shook his head and laughed as a blonde haired
blue eyed man landed in the middle of the deck guns cocked ready for a fight "You're
a little late" Tai snorted narrowing his eyes as he spoke.
Matt lowered his guns with a look of disappointment "Now my
plan was you keep them busy until I get here then I swoop in and take the
prize…how did you mess this up?" Tai
growled, "They saw you coming and left you dolt, why can't you just mind your
own business, the King appointed me to catch them not you".
"That's where your wrong, he asked me to get them…" the
realization dawned on him and he ran his hand through his hair. "I guess he figured if he sent both of us
after them one of us was bound to succeed".
Tai looked annoyed "And it would have been me if you hadn't
interfered, now get off my ship before I decide to have my men attack". Matt laughed "You know your men are in no
condition to fight, but I will leave I still may be able to catch one of
them…until next time". With that Matt
and his men returned to their ship disappearing into the night just as Izzy had
minute ago.
Nearly a week later Kari wandered down the streets of the
capital city trying to find a dress for the ball the King was throwing…yet
another trap for Mimi and Izzy. Again
they came up with the brilliant idea of putting a lot of money in one place as
the bait, this one was destined to fail just like the last one. To make matters worse there was the Davis
issue, ever since Sora had saved him from death the boy had been clingy and
nearly smothering spouting off on how he almost left his angle alone in the
world. She was about ready to finish
what Cody had started if he mentioned marriage one more time.
"Are you okay?" Gatomon asked giving her friend a concerned
look. Kari came out of her thoughts
flashing a smile "Just thinking" she answered peaking the cats curiosity. "About what?" she continued.
Kari gave a sigh knowing if she wanted to confide in
someone, Gatomon would be the best.
"Its just everything…Tai's become almost obsessed with this hunt and at
the rate Davis is going he'll have Tai convinced that he's the perfect husband
for me in no time". Gatomon just
listened knowing it was best Kari had obviously been keeping this bottled up
for quite awhile. "I want to marry for
love, and live on the land with a family not on the sea chasing pirates around
and taking men to their deaths" she finished surprised at what she had just
said.
Kari was going to apologize for dumping that on her friend
but a filthy hand covering her mouth stopped anything from coming out except
for a muffled scream. It took the small
digimon seconds to realize what had happened but by then it was already too
late. Kari had been pulled into the
darkened ally with her attacker keeping her in front of himself, apparently
well aware how far a digimon would go to protect their charges.
"Let her go" the cat demanded flexing her claws taking note
of the two other figures waiting in the shadows.
The burly man laughed "You want me to let this pretty little
thing go…I don't think so. I know where
I could get a nice little sum of gold for her I mean she so young and innocent
many guys would kill for that. Not to
mention that's along with the little stash she has in her purse". Gatomon didn't know what to do and tears
sprang into her eyes "You'll regret it if you don't let her go" she shouted
trying to keep out the waver only getting another laugh for her trouble.
"And what's the little kitty going to do about it? Attack me while I'm holding her precious
charge and risk hurting her" he taunted pulling Kari in close against his body
bringing up bruises on her arms. Kari's
eyes were wide and full of tears she refused to let fall, she knew what was
going to happen to her if she didn't get away, Tai hunted this type of scum for
this very reason. Desperate to get away
she brought her foot up and stomped down hoping for anything. Her foot hit the steel tip of his boot
causing him to look down amused.
"Now that was pathetic" he said bringing his face down to
her ear "but I like you your feisty…perhaps I'll keep you as my own. You seem strong and will bear me fine
sons". Kari screamed as loud as she
could through the meaty hand over her mouth failing her body in every direction
her eyes pleading with Gatomon. The
digimon still feared attacking, unwilling to risk Kari's safety.
"I believe the Lady would like to be let go" a voice said
from the darkness of the alley coming from every direction at once causing the
three men to jump and the two to draw their swords. The leader stepped back pulling Kari with him "Your going to stop
me?" he question his eyes searching.
The voice answered again this time a little louder and his voice a
little firmer "I said let her go or you'll regret it".
Kari whimpered as the captor squeezed tighter as his body
tensed with anger "She's mine now so just get on you way and forget this ever
happened". This time there was no
answer and the three men grunted their congratulations to themselves, The celebration didn't last long, the owner
of the voice jumped out of the shadows onto the back of the leader and the man
holding Kari with a fierce battle cry.
They newcomer had golden blonde hair with bright blue eyes
that seemed to pierce the darkness. He
arms wrapped around the leaders neck in a tight grip cutting off the flow of
air from his lungs. Kari felt the attack
as her captor let out a strangled cry shaking his body in an attempt to throw
the boy off, the shaking only succeeded in giving Kari a chance to get free.
Kari wrenched her arms free from the weakening man stumbling
forward falling to the ground next to Gatomon who took her cue letting out a
loud hiss and jumping forward claws flexed and ready to go. The first of the swordsman didn't have a
chance to get his weapon up. The razor
sharp claws dug into the tender flesh of his arms and chest leaving him
whimpering and bleeding on the ground.
The fallen man's friend looked mortified and began to run
out of the ally hoping to get away from the enraged cat. He didn't get far "Boom Bubble" the squeaky
voice yelled sending a blast of air into the retreating man. He flew into the stone sidewall with
incredible speed, a loud thud marking his hit.
He fell to the ground and didn't get up, the only sign of life was his
chest rising and falling.
Two where down and only one remained. He had managed to throw off the blonde and
they now faced each other with swords drawn staring each other down. The leader looked deep into the blue eyes
and recognition kicked in "Ishida" he whispered realizing how deep he was
in. "That's right" the boy said his
voice low "now too bad you didn't listen to me the first time".
The man fell to his knees cowering at his feet "Please don't
take me in, they'll kill me". The
blonde looked down at him "That if for the Lady to decide, after all it was she
you hurt so your fate is in her hands".
Kari still sat huddled on the ground he knees pulled tightly to her chest. Her shocked brown eyes looked up still
watery with tears "My choice?" she questioned.
The stranger bowed respectfully "Of coarse milady, it was
you he hurt and threatened so it is you who shall decide his fate". Kari looked at her attacker who now had
tears in his own eyes, apparently this stranger had quite a reputation,
reputation enough to scare him out of his wits. Her thoughts turned to her conversation with Gatomon just minutes
ago, about how she wanted a normal life away from what her brother did and with
that she made up her mind. "You are to
leave and never return. If I ever hear
of you doing this again I will show no mercy and don't think I can't find you…I
have connections with the Kaymia bloodline and will see too it that Taichi hunts
you till the end of you days".
"That you milady" he said the relief evident in his voice as
he bowed face down in the dirt at her feet kissing them as he did. She looked down at her with pity in her eyes
before waving him away with a gesture of her hands. Her now subdued attacker crawled away from her still on his hands
and knees picking up his injured friends on the way out.
As soon as they were out of sight Kari dropped to the ground
once more dissolving into tears as she did.
Gatomon scampered to her side nuzzling
her trying to get the girl to look up.
The stranger came up and knelt down before her gently lifting her chin
up to look into his endless blue eyes.
He looked into her chocolate eyes nearly falling into them as she did
"They didn't hurt you did they?" he asked gently.
It took Kari a few moments to pull herself out of his eyes
and shake her hear no. He flashed her a
sweet smile taking his hand in hers ignoring the deadly look from Gatomon's icy
eyes. "My name's Takeru…would you tell
me who I had the honor of saving?" he asked tenderly kissing her hand sending
shot of electricity through both their bodies.
Their eyes widened and they connected once more.
Kari was taken by surprise but found the words to answer her
question "Hikari" she said quietly.
"Beautiful" he said kissing her hand once more and then helping her
up. "Now how about I get you something
warm to drink and you can tell me about yourself" he asked offering her his
elbow. Kari took it gratefully enjoying
the new feelings coursing through her veins as her savior led her back into the
light.
Minutes later the two sat in a secluded corner of the local
tavern gratefully sipping the cider they had just been served. The large fireplace centered in the room blazed
with a blazing fire chasing away the chill of the coming night air. Patrons of the bar danced and drank merrily
taking no heed to the two simply choosing to drink the night away while passing
rumors of Mimi's latest plunder and the Kings upcoming ball.
Takeru meanwhile was entranced by Kari, trying to memorize
her face, fearing he may never see her again.
"So what brings you to the market?" he asked causally trying to start a
conversation. She sipped her cider once
more before answering "I was looking for a ball dress".
Happiness now sparked in the blondes eyes "Your going too,
well at least I'll know someone there…I hate these functions and usually sneak
away first chance I get".
"Me too" Kari said with a laugh "Have you ever been too one
of King Joe's parties?" TK nodded and
she continued "Do you know where that garden is just off of the main
ballroom?" TK responded "That's my
favorite hiding spot, if you go in the spring everything is in bloom and its
like your in another world".
Their conversation continued from there as they learned more
about each other, yet still hiding the truth of their brother's jobs a secret
until something or someone happened forcing both to come out of hiding. It was about 9:30 when the tavern doors
burst open and a brown haired boy swaggered in yelling at the top of his
lungs. The color drained from Kari's
face as she looked at the pale TK.
They spoke in unison locking onto each other's eyes "He's
after me".
Kari was the first to recover ducking down from sight "What
do you mean he's after you?" she demanded.
TK ducked with her bowing his head, he should have known he couldn't
keep this up forever "My brother is Yamato Ishida, and that boy is one the crew
of his…"
"Hated rival Taichi Kaymia, my brother" she finished. Shock fell over the two as Davis continued
his path through the tables shouting "Kari I know you're here, I ran into Gatomon
and she told me you were. Please come
out we had a dinner date". Kari gritted
her teeth "In his dreams" she muttered.
She looked at TK who was searching the crowd for a way out, if Davis
found him he would be done for and so would Matt. Her eyes widened when an idea popped into her head.
She hurriedly pulled her cloak over her hear hiding her hair
"Takeru" she whispered as Davis drew nearer.
The blonde turned to her and she reached out grabbing him firmly by his
tunic surprising the boy. Before he had
time to react let alone say anything she had pulled her lips to his and the
rest of the world, Davis and all melted away.
Davis passed by the 'couple' with a look of longing in his
eyes, he prayed that would be him someday.
Veemon came to his side tugging on his pant leg "I couldn't see her,
perhaps we went to the wrong tavern" he suggested wanting to keep the boys
hopes up. Davis nodded in agreement "Yeah
there's still five more on this street alone so we'd better get going". With that the two disappeared into the
drunken crowd shoving their way out the door into the cool night air.
Even though the threat had gone, TK and Kari hadn't moved
from their position; if anything they were getting more comfortable with
it. Kari moved her hands around his
neck and his around her waist as he pulled her into his lap. She had never felt so safe and loved at the
same time as she savored every moment forcing herself to break away when the
need for air overtook the two. TK sat
in a daze, his lips tingling wanting more.
It wasn't how he had pictured his first kiss to be but he would take it.
TK looked deeply into her eyes finding himself strangely at
home in them. Thoughts of his brother
filled his head when he realized what he had done "Oniisan" he whispered. Kari's eyes became dull when she thought of
Tai's reaction "They won't like this will they?" she whispered. TK nodded shuddering at Matt's reaction "That
would be an understatement…Matt would probably send me off to France to live
will relatives until I was fifty".
A looked of sadness crossed Kari's face as she prepared to
remove herself from his embrace only to be held in place. His hand cupped her chin "I didn't say I
wouldn't risk it, there's just something about you that completes me" he said
using his hand to caress her face. "I
know I've only been with you a few hours but I can't stand the thought of going
away again".
Kari leaned into his gentle touch "I know how you feel, we'll just have to be
careful…meet in secret and pray they don't catch us". TK couldn't take it anymore and brought his lips back to hers
capturing them in a heartbeat.
To Be Continued….
A/N: How was it? Don't
worry the other couples will be in the next part if you want it so be sure to
let me know.
