Chapter 12- Resurrection
It was nearly a month after Kari's death (They had stayed in the Digital World because no one really felt like leaving. Sora's mom said that she had sprung a surprise camping trip on them and that was where they were) and they were on a walk through the bleak, burnt land when TK felt something on his forehead. It reminded him of the last petal that had landed on his forehead. It felt like Kari's kiss. Then, there came the warmest breeze he had ever felt, and it brushed the tears from his face. **Beloved** Something- or someone- chimed in his head. **Please, don't cry.** It asked. **This way.** He was told. Unknowingly, he turned towards where the voice had said.
"TK, where are you going?" Matt asked.
"Something's telling me to go this way." He replied, turning to Matt. Matt looked at him, and saw that for the first time in a while, he wasn't crying or telling himself that it was his fault Kari was gone, so he relented. The entire group turned towards the direction TK had been directed in.
After a while of walking, TK heard the voice again. **Almost there, Beloved.** It chimed. **Almost there.**
To be fair, it was Davis who first noticed that there was another D-3 in the area besides theirs, but it was Gatomon who first saw the person and TK who named it. A beautiful melody filled the air.
"Kari!"
He ran towards her. She was playing her silver flute from when she was the Archangel, and while she played, the most amazing thing happened. A carpet of green slowly spread out from under her feet, spreading around her to heal the charred, black remains of the Digital World like a balm for the wounded earth. Her wings were folded, and she was still wearing the dress. She turned to him with shining eyes.
When he reached her, her put his hands on her waist and swung her right off the ground in a circle and set her down again. She laughed, and smiled at him before stretching herself up onto her tiptoes to kiss him. He had changed. He had looked so tired and sad when she'd asked to look. But he was still the same TK.
He reveled in the kiss, something that he had thought he would never be able to experience again. When they parted, he remembered that there were still other people there, and he blushed and tried to pull away. He got no further than a few inches. Kari smiled sweetly at him. He didn't mind, really.
Matt looked at them, and then looked at Tai, who was obviously impatient for his turn to greet his sister. Gatomon had no such restraint, and simply ran to Kari and jumped into her arms.
"I thought I'd lost you forever, Kari!" She cried before snuggling into her. TK looked at Kari.
"Me too."
"Me three!" Patamon leaped gleefully into Kari's arms too. The four looked like one happy family, Mom, Dad, sister and brother. Kari laughed her musical laugh, but this time it was real.
"Well, you got lucky." She said before kissing TK again.
Tai finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran to hug his sister. She hugged him back as best as she could without letting go of TK and the Digimon.
There were more hugs all around and some more tears and Kari finally explained the entire story to them. She had been dreaming about this ever since they had defeated MaloMyostismon a year ago, and she had known that it would happen, and she had also seen what would have happened if she didn't sacrifice herself for the world. However, OmniApocalymon had come when they were not yet prepared, and therefore he could not use his full power. If he had, they wouldn't be here talking, and did anyone miss her? They all said yes.
Davis had been sulking over at the side and he now came over. "Kari, are you- do you- are you-" He couldn't get the words out. Suddenly his tongue unlocked. "Are you in love with TK?"
Kari nodded. "I'm sorry Davis." He just shrugged and smiled sadly, and then left to nurse his bruised heart- or what he thought was left of it.

A/N Short, sweet, fluff, and to the point. The way I like it!
