Peace At Last – Chapter 12
"TK, is it?"
TK jumped at the voice as he closed Suki's door. He swung around and encountered Nidake, Suki's brother. TK smiled weakly at him. "Yes…?"
"I want to talk to you," Nidake stated and gestured for TK to follow him to the living room.
TK felt uneasy. As he followed Nidake, he felt more and more sure that he wasn't going to like this 'talk' with Suki's brother.
Stopping in the middle of the living room, Nidake turned around and ordered TK to sit. TK, of course, sat and watched Nidake pace back and forth in front of him. He was about to ask Nidake what it was he wanted to talk about but Nidake finally started.
"Look, I know that in the other dimension, the Digital world, you and Suki are really important people who are in love and…married?" Nidake glanced at TK for an answer.
"Betrothed."
"Betrothed. But here, in the real world, she's still my little sister, and I just wanted to make it clear that if you hurt her in anyway whatsoever, you're going to wish you were dead. Furthermore, you should know that because you and Suki are destined to be together so I'm going to trust you with Suki and I don't think I need to tell you the consequences in breaking that trust?" he turned and looked at TK who nodded.
Seeking the confirmation he needed, Nidake walked up to him and held out his hand. TK simply stared at it. Nidake chuckled.
"Don't worry, just there for a handshake. I thought that since we're more than likely going to be seeing each other a lot, we might as well be friends."
Cautiously, TK placed his hand in Nidake's and they shook hands.

Protective brother, slight sense of humor, uses long words; wow, Nidake could be the guy of my dreams, lol. Well, anyway, the story still has a bit more to go.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Months passed by and the Digi-destined has fallen into a regular routine. A lot of them wondered what they would do now. They've already done one of the most important things in the world, three whole times, saving the world. What was there left to do? Live the life of a regular teenager of course!
Davis and Kari had sorted out their feelings. Davis realized that his somewhat feelings of like for Suki was just admiration for her amazing soccer skills that rivaled those of Ken. And Kari speculated that once TK started, took some time but he did, to talk to her again, that her feelings of jealousy weren't there anymore. Kari guessed that it was because she hadn't talked to TK for months and suddenly, this new girl comes and barely making an effort, she had befriended TK.
When Nakiro had been defeated, the time in the Digital world slowed down, a lot. Soon, it slowed to when Tai and the others had first discovered the Digital world, or rather, the Digital world discovered them. Months in the Digital world were in reality, less than a second in the real world. The group spent many "seconds" in the Digital world, thanks to TK and Suki who seemed to be the only ones who were really allowed to go back. The future now looked bright to all of them, and they now lived to capture their dreams.
'And so our story ends, the book is never closed, only continued. Evil masterminds could still be out there, plotting the next plan to take over our world. But keep faith. For in our future, our children, there is hope. Hope for light through the darkest hours. Hope for courage in the face of danger. Hope for friendship in times of need. Hope for love when you least expect it. Hope for knowledge when you need it the most. Hope for reliability in the ones you care about. Hope for kindness everywhere. Hope for sincerity in everyone. And just hope. For a better future, for better times, for better memories. Adventures are never-ending. Life is an adventure, every step you take, brings you closer to a goal. Reaching that specific goal, a new one arises. And so, the pattern continues. Even in death, the adventure does not end. Some say death is only the beginning. Live your life to the fullest and prepare yourself for the new adventure known as death that still have yet to come, in the many, many years ahead of all of us. Don't rush it; let the adventure come to you.
The story of the Digital world has not ended. Children everywhere are beginning to understand. The Digital world is a world of new experiences and not a danger. As we, the Digi-destined had lived to learn of every aspect of life and just how precious it is. The Digital world is not for one person alone but was made to connect everyone, young or old, same and different, humans and beasts. Let us cherish it as it should be cherished and may it be preserved for the next generations to come.'

*applause* Thank you, thank you! My masterpiece has ended. (Maybe.) *sniff* Awww…I'm going to miss Digimon. But my interest never really stays in one area for too long. I doubt there's going to be anything from me for Digimon in the future but maybe. I've moved on to fresher, greener fields, in other words, my obsession now lies elsewhere. Even before this fic was finished, my interest had fled over to Card Captor Sakura and now, my interest feeds on the grass of the field known as Harry Potter. I'm not stopping from writing, merely moving along in inspiration. Don't frown yet. I believe that this story still has two chapters to go. One, the epilogue and two, the story behind Nakiro's evil and Nasuki's *real* parents, as in the King and Queen of the Digital world. So look forward to these upcoming chapters!
I would like to take this time to recognize everyone who had given compliments, insults or encouragements. If I had received none of the above, I would more than likely have stopped writing this story. So please give a round of applause to whom I call the…Encouragers!
Many thanks go to:
Sailor Hope: Thanks for reviewing almost every single chapter, and being my very first reviewer ever. Yes, I know it was very cruel for me to put Kari with Davis but it was my way of defying clichés, I suppose, despite the many clichés already found in this story and perhaps proving that although I'm a Takari supporter, I can write about couples I despise just as well. And yes, I'm indeed in love with writing cliffhangers.
Linda: Thanks for bugging me? Hehe, well, you know what I mean. Sorry you're not getting a nice long thanks but since I talk to you every single day, there really isn't a point, is there?
Little_angel4eva aka Steph: Well, I really dunno if you read this anymore since you've never reviewed past chapter 3 but anyway, many thanks! Most of all, thanks for being the first of some who don't complain about Daikari or cliffhangers.
AnimeCrazyDC: Ummm…thanks for reviewing!
Cindy T: Thanks very much for reviewing and cuz you got such a short thanks, here's a cute lil face for ya: ^-^
Cindy: Thanks for reviewing…ummm…sorry for not working on my so-called wonderful season three since you seemed to be the most interested one. But the real season three is going great so there's no need for a new write-up, is there?
Ida aka many other things, which are too much for me to type: Thanks for reviewing! And I'm very, very flattered with all the nice compliments…so why'd you stop! lol, j/k
Donny Knowles: Thanks for reviewing! That's all I can say, you didn't really give me much to go on…
Omega Blue: Thanks for reviewing! And I like your pen name.
DigitalGirl562: Thanks for reviewing! Glad you liked my story!
DigiKittyGirl: Thanks for the compliment!
MAtt: Thanks for the review! Hope you get that bike you wanted…
Together Again: Cool name! Anyways, thanks for the review!
Robster80: Thanks for reviewing! Oh, thanks for understanding too!
You know how there are the good side of things and the bad? Well, I also had middle reviewers. Which I call…the Middlers (Stupid, I know)
Mannytb: It's nice to know that even though you don't like Daikari much but you still liked my stories!
Elana: Thanks for reviewing. I know at the beginning, you uhhh…to put it nicely, didn't like me very much, if you could remember, but 'm glad I somehow changed your mind.
Well, you've got to take the bad with the good. And here's the bad, aka Flamers
FaithAngel: "Yes, I am a registered author, but FF.Net screwed up. Damn u! I'm a Takari fan and a Davis basher!"
Ummm…if that's so…why did you read up to chapter nine before flaming me? And if you tell me that you accidentally went there, well, you know and I know that it's not believable. Food for thought there.
Amazingly, there was only one who really flamed me. Now the love/hate flames are a different thing. Half-Flamers.
Takari Faithful 02: "More you stupid .I love this story but I hate you for putting Karri with that.. that..that..Abomination that is called Davis.But I want to see where this story goes so you have the honor of being the second Dakari writer to get my seal of approval."
Another item for food for thought. If you love the story, you've gotta love the author. Without the author, there is no story. Sorry TF02, you don't hate me. Don't hate me because I'm different; hate me only if I've ever done anything to you, not characters who don't exist on our plane of existence. Furthermore, I am not, read that, not a Daikari writer. So keep your seal, never needed it in the first place to give me encouragement to write. Oh, btw, thanks for half-flaming.
And then, there are misplaced blessings…
C. Hart: Umm…technically, this wasn't a Daikari story, it was a Tasuki, and sorry to break any illusions, but I'm not even fond of Daikari. So, if you still like me for who I really am, can I keep that blessing? Or if you feel you've been mislead, you can have it back.
