Invisble Enemies

T.K and Kari were sitting in her room talking. "What was it like? What did you see?" she asked him. He breathed in deeply and tried to remember in detail what had happened. He had his head rested in her lap and she was gently stroking his head, "It all started with a picnic, everyone was there, even Mimi and Matt and the rest of the digimon. Then suddenly, the sky turned dark and the wind began blow. Then, the man in the dark cape turned up, he started laughing and I stood up to protect you, all the digimon digivolved and tried to stop the darkness, but they were too weak. Then there was a big explosion and we were all thrown across the field. I rushed over to you, and held you in my arms, but I was too late, everyone, and everything that I had ever loved, was destroyed. Then the man came up to me and started saying things like join me and don't resist the power of the darkness, then I woke up." Kari wiped a tear from T.K's cheek, "It was horrible, I'd thought I'd lost you forever," he raised himself up a little and kissed Kari on the cheek. "I'm glad you're all right Takeru, I was so worried about you." She held him tightly, he was warm and strong and when he was around, she felt so safe and content. There was a knock at the door, and Tai walked in, "Hey, it's getting pretty late, you guys ready for bed?" he asked. T.K nodded his head, "Yeah, I'm beat, how about you Kari?" Kari sighed, "Not really, do we have to go to bed Tai?" she asked with her famous puppy-dog eyes. Tai folded his arms, "Your powers of persuasion cannot affect me Hikari," he replied simply, "You have to go to school tomorrow and." he was cut off by a knock at Kari's window. T.K and Tai were staring wide-eyed at the person outside the window, while Kari walked quickly to open it.

"Hey guys!" said Jamie, as she jumped from the window's ledge to the ground in her black pants and baby-blue jacket. Tai was stunned, "How did you get up here?" he asked concerned, "I climbed" she stated simply, "It's only a two stories. I climbed right to the top once and -" she sat down on Kari's bed. Kari giggled at the two boys still in shock, "Don't worry, Jamie's a very experienced climber, she can take of herself," she said. "Thank you Kari," smiled Jamie. And they started talking about a lot of stuff. Tai left after a while and T.K was slowly falling asleep. Eventually, only the two girls were awake. "Jamie, can I ask you a question?" she looked at Kari from across the bed, "You're going to ask me whether I say no or not," Kari faked a hurt look, "Does everybody know I do that?!?!" she said with mock anger. "No. just half the school," joked Jamie. "Well, shoot." Kari looked at the floor, which seemed to get suddenly interesting, "Yes. what a piece of fine carpet isn't it?" asked Jamie sarcastically after the long pause. Kari grinned, "Okay okay, you've met my parents, why can't I meet yours?" she asked. Jamie looked at the floor, then she sighed and tried to fake a smile, "Well. it's just that." and she was interupted by Tai opening the door, "Sorry guys, but it is really late, poor T.K, what did you two do, bore him to death?" Kari shot a death glance at her older brother, "What? What I do?" Jamie got up from the bed, "He's right Kari, it is really late, don't worry, we'll finsh it tomorrow okay?" Kari nodded, "Thanks Jamie, see ya." Jamie was about to climb back out the window, but Tai caught her arm and said, "Oh no,you're going to use the door like normal people, someone might see you and if you are going to climb out of windows, it should be mine," he said grinning, "Come on, I'll walk you home." Before Jamie could argue, Tai had pushed her out of the apartment, leaving Kari staring at the two older kids, "I wonder if this means that Tai's over Sora," she said thinking aloud. "Hardly likely," came a response. Kari felt T.K's arms wrap around her waist and she turned into jello. "What makes you so sure?" she asked turning around to stare into his aqua blue eyes, "You don't just fall out of love, it's too complex," he said. Then he bent down and kissed Kari softly on the lips, "Ready for bed?" he asked. "Only if you'll sleep with me," she replied, then realizing at once what she said, they burst into laughter, "Whoa. that came out wrong!" she exclaimed, "Sorry T.K, I didn't mean it like that." He sat down on the bed again, "It's okay Kari, I understand," he grinned. I wonder what it would be like, does that mean that she thinks about it too?, thought T.K. He smiled contently, Oh man, that was embarassing, but I do wonder what it would be like, thought Kari. They gazed at each other, "I want you to be my first!" they both exclaimed at the same time.

"Really?" they both asked at the same time, and then were silent for a while. "Let's make a pact then!" said Kari. T.K stared at his best friend, "Aren't we a little old for that Kari?" he asked sarcastically. "I guess," she sighed, "How about a promise then? A solemn vow that if we don't fall in love with someone by the time we're twenty years old, we'll. well, you know," she blushed a crimson red. T.K grinned, "Okay, I solemnly promise, and I seal the deal, with a kiss." He leaned forward and gave Kari a peck on the cheek. Kari, not satisfied pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss.
