Author's Notes: I have nothing but to say that I did this in the middle of my writers blocks (because I told DS I'd write a Takari for her, :)) and so if it's all sucky, then I sorry. :) In addition, this takes place future- like; the kids are like 19-ish, not sure. However, they're old. *cough* Read anyway.

And now! On with the story... *dun dun dun*

=================== Goodbyes by FaItHzAnGeL===================

Kari stared at Tk for a long time before she actually said hello. He gave her a small smile, a slow nod and said, "Hey." The tension seemed so thick that not even a butter knife would cut through it, she could tell he was upset-and this in turn upset her.

Tk coughed slightly as the cold icy wind hit his back hard and harsh, the cold touching her exposed skin caused Kari to shiver. She shook her head, "I can't believe you're leaving."

"I have to."

"But, I mean look at us. We've been together forever, how can you leave now?"

Tk's smile faded and he said, "Because I have to. You'll be fine Kari, you don't need me."

The wind blew once more as he brushed some of his hair out of his eyes, and slowly lifted his hand toward Kari's face brushing a strand from her eyes, placing it behind her ear as he said, "You've never needed me."

Her face became solemn and hard as she said, "That's a harsh thing to say Tk, I've always needed you."

He sighed, "You'll be fine Kari, I just.I can't..."

Kari stepped back as she heard the train pull up and the door whooshed open, and the man standing in one of the cabins shouted out, "All aboard," as if this moment were something straight out of a bad clichéd movie-it was unnerving.

Tk smiled as he said, "Guess it's about that time."

She nodded, "I know."

They stood there staring at each other before Tk moved to hug her, his warmth felt nice, she loved being right there. She wished that moment could've lasted longer, her body screaming for her to say those three big words that no one had ever made her want to say, at least until now, but nothing came out, nothing but a tear, and as he pulled away she could feel the empty cold feeling again.

Was it always going to be like this?

"I'll see you Kari." Tk's tone held a sort of uncertainty, his heart racing faster then he could handle, guarding himself, knowing that if he let the wall fall-he'd break, and he wouldn't be able to get to that train cabin, and he needed to get to that train cabin, he had to get away, he needed to get away.

He had to get away from Kari.

The thought sent a slash inside him for thinking it, as if Kari were the center of all his problems. The three words aching in his head, his heart, for him to let slip past his lips and meet hers in a lover's embrace...but that would never happen. She loved Davis. She didn't love him.

He picked up his bag, slung it over his shoulder and headed toward the train, not looking back as Kari's nose ran, her heart racing, hoping, praying that he'd turn around and say, "I can't do it, I love you, I don't ever want to leave you..."

They'd been together for what seemed like forever, they'd gone through so much, growing up, junior high, high school, and the Digital World and all its evils...and goods.

Her eyes watered as she watched him board, taking one final look, a last look, their eyes met, and they stood there standing still for what seemed like an eternity, but Tk cut off the connection, boarding the train. The doors slamming closed and she watched the train go away as she waved good- bye as she whispered a silent, "I love you." to the wind.
