The Wings.



T.K. finally landed back in his bedroom. It had been an hour, and it was already six o'clock. Too late to go to the digi-world. He would have to apologize again. This was the third time this week he didn't show. He just couldn't tell everybody about his wings. Wings aren't supposed to mysteriously grow out of one's back.

He started to reflect on how all this began.

"Hey, T.K.! How was basketball practice. You know, Dad and Matt are here for dinner, so get changed and come down quick!" said T.K.'s mother.

"Hey, T.K.! Was Kari there. I know you have the hots for her," giggled Matt from the table.

"Okay, lame-brain. You may be a music star and have hundreds of girls following you around, but we all know you only have one true love - JUN MOTOMIYA!"

He bolted upstairs just as Matt was leaving the table to come get him. He heard mutters of "EWW, anything but Jun," who he could only assume to be Matt. "Now be nice, Matt. I'm sure she's a very nice girl," said T.K.'s mom.

T.K. entered his cluttered room. He was extremely tired. It was an exhausting basketball game, but they had won. And Kari was there. But his back was hurting like crazy. Like something was trying to push out of him and it just wouldn't come out.

Stepping into the bathroom, he took of his shorts and his shirt. As he bent down to pick up the shirt he would wear for dinner he caught himself looking at him in the mirror. It was a full - length mirror and he saw something he had certainly never seen before. Two gigantic white wings had suddenly sprung out from his back. No wonder he felt so much better when he took his shirt off.

As he started to panic, he thought of his family downstairs. He doused his hair with some water, threw on some jeans, and put his robe on over his torso. He tried to control the wings to retract, and amazingly enough the wings obeyed. He tried to control them to come back into his body, but this he could not do. He could only make them shrink. So he threw on his robe and trooped downstairs.

"T.K.! What are you doing in your bathrobe," exclaimed Mrs. Takaishi.

"Ummm..I'm not feeling too well, mom. I think I'll just have a litte and just go too bed. I'm exhausted from the game," replied T.K.

"Okay, dear. Do you want me to check in on you later, or will you be asleep?" asked Mrs. Takaishi.

"I'll be fine mom. I'll sleep the whole time," said T.K.

After Matt giving T.K. kicks under the table, and curious looks, T.K. trudged upstairs not fifteen minutes later.

As he settled into bed, he thought about what his future would be like now that he knew what he was exactly like..

A monster .

Kari could never like a monster. Never. And ever since that first night with the wings, T.K. had been afraid to get close to anyone. Since he wore a trench coat all the time, he looked like a gang member. And worse of all - he was kicked off of the basketball team.

As he trudged downstairs for dinner, he had no idea what would happen next. It never occurred to him that something drastic, besides growing wings, could happen to him in his own house. The secrets that could be revealed.....







Read on later for more! More is coming, I promise. Please review! I want your say. If I like an idea, I might develop some of it into the story. No plot lines given away just yet. These are only the first couple of chapters..
