Chapter Two- The Prophecy and the Disappearance
Kari looked shocked. And confused. "TK…I don't know what to say," Kari said. How do I feel about him? Do I feel the same? I'm so confused!
TK looked disappointed. Then, he noticed Kari's confused look. I have to be understanding. She needs some time to think. "Think about it for a while." Then, he walked away.
Kari looked out at the ocean. I don't know how I feel! I have feelings for him but…did I just say I have FEELINGS for him? But are those feelings love? Or are they just feelings of friendship? But love can develop from friendship. And if it was love, what type of love? Love, like for a brother or love for a lover? Or it could be love but as friendship. Argh, I'm so confused! What am I going to do?
Davis came out of his hiding spot. I have to tell her now. Or else I might lose her.
"Kari," Davis said softly.
"Hi Davis. I didn't see you," Kari said.
"I was hiding. I have something to tell you too," Davis said.
"Okay…wait, what do you mean too? You heard what TK told me, didn't you? How could you spy on us? That's so-"
Davis put his finger on her lips. "I already knew. That's why TK and I are rivals."
Rivals? Kari wondered.
"Rivals for your love," Davis whispered into her ear.
Kari was shocked. Davis loves me too? I always had a feeling but really…love? I thought he just had a silly crush on me. What am I going to do?
"Take your time deciding," Davis said. "Don't rush. You don't want to make a decision you're going to regret." Then, he walked away as well.
Kari sighed again and laid on the ground. Who am I going to choose? I don't want to hurt either of them. I think I have feelings for both of them. But what are the feelings?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
TK ran as fast as he could. I can't believe I did that! I'm such an idiot! He stopped running and sat down on a bench. But if I didn't tell her, I might lose her to someone else…like Davis. TK shuddered at the thought of Kari being with Davis.
"Hey there bro."
"Oh…hey Matt," TK said quietly.
"Did you tell her?" Matt sat next to TK.
"Yeah…"
"What'd she say?"
"She said didn't know what to say. So I told her to think about it," TK replied.
"Don't worry about it TK," Matt said. "She has to sort out her feelings first. She'll tell you eventually. You just have to be patient and wait."
TK sighed. "I know."
"Let's go back to the others. We have to leave now," Matt said and he and TK went back to the others.
A figure appeared in the air. He was wearing all black. Hmm…those two idiots love Kari, huh? Well, too bad boys…the Angel of Light is MINE. And once her true power is revealed…I'll use it to take over the world!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Bye Kari! Bye Tai!" everyone in Matt's car shouted. Kari and Tai were the first ones to be dropped back at their house.
"Bye!" Tai said, grinning and waving.
"Bye," Kari said softly. She waved a little and went into their apartment building.
She ran up to the Kamiya apartment and went inside. Then, she headed straight to her room.
Gatomon was sitting on Kari's bed. "Hi Kari!"
"Hi Gatomon," Kari said. She flopped onto her bed. Who am I going to choose? Davis or TK, Davis or TK, Davis or TK…hmm…
"Are you okay Kari?" Gatomon asked, concerned.
"I'm fine," Kari said, giving a small smile. "Just tired, I guess."
"Okay…" Gatomon looked suspicious and worried but decided to let the subject drop. Then, she fell asleep.
TK is so cute and kind-hearted, Kari thought. And we've been through a lot together. But Davis is also a very sweet guy and cute too. And I know both of them would always be there to help me if I'm in trouble. Who to choose, who to choose?
She closed her eyes and pictured both of them. Then, she fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
The next day, Kari got sick and had to stay in bed.
"Hello?" Tai picked up the phone.
"Hi Tai, it's Cody. Is Kari there?"
"No, sorry Cody. Kari's sick. Why?" Tai asked.
"I got an e-mail from someone. I think it has a prophecy on it or something. I know that Davis and TK got the same e-mail. I wanted to know if Kari got one and if we could have a meeting at your place. But since she's sick…"
"Come on over," Tai said. "Kari's in bed but we can still discuss it here. I'll call everyone else."
"Thanks Tai. Bye."
"Bye Cody." Tai hung up the phone and called all of the Digidestined, including the old ones.
"I'll be right over!" TK, who was the last one Tai called, said.
"Okay, bye." Tai hung up the phone again and went to get some snacks and drinks.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived.
"What does the e-mail say?" Tai asked Cody.
Cody showed everyone the printout of the prophecy. It said:
"The Sun will set on the 15th and the Demon of Darkness will take the Angel of Light. The Angel of Light will then become the Angel of Darkness. Only the love of the Angel's soul mate can rescue the Angel of Light from the darkness. The world will be covered in darkness unless the Angel of Light discovers her true power and defeats the demon."
"The Angel of Light? Who's that?" Sora wondered.
"That's what I've been thinking," Cody said.
"I'll check if Kari got the e-mail," Tai said. He went on Kari's e-mail account. "She got it too!" Tai said. Then he noticed another e-mail. "What's this?" he asked, frowning.
"What?" Mimi looked at the e-mail. The subject was: "I'm coming…"
Tai opened the e-mail and everyone crowded around the computer to read it.
"Dear Kari,
I'm coming for you. No matter where you go, I'll find you. I will destroy your fellow Digidestined unless you become my queen. Otherwise, I'll have to force you to. You better enjoy your life while you can, dearest Kari. Because it's going to change VERY soon. Until the 15th, my dear Angel. I can't wait to see you again."
TK and Davis felt their blood boiling. Who is this guy? They both thought.
"Wait a sec," Izzy said. "This guy called Kari an "angel." And he said, "until the 15th." Don't you get what that means?"
No one said anything.
Izzy groaned. "It means that KARI is the ANGEL of LIGHT who will be TAKEN by the DEMON of DARKNESS!"
The room was quiet for 5 seconds.
"You mean this psycho is after my sister? And she's going to be kidnapped on the 15th?" Tai shouted.
"Umm…yes?" Izzy said nervously.
"It makes sense though. Kari does have the Crest of Light," Joe said.
"We should watch her 24/7. Tai, you can have the night shifts since you live here," Matt said.
"Right! I won't let anything take my sister away!" Tai said.
"TK and Davis, you're responsible for her during school," Matt said.
"Okay," TK and Davis said, glaring at each other.
Oy, Matt thought. "The rest of us will watch her whenever we get a chance. Make sure she never walks home alone. This guy could take her then."
"I don't think we should tell Kari, though. I mean, that would most likely freak her out and she'll be worried about herself and us," Ken said.
"But wouldn't she get upset if we didn't?" TK said.
"Let's just keep it to ourselves for now," Joe said. "If she gets upset, we'll blame it on Tai."
"Oh, thanks!" Tai said sarcastically.
Everyone laughed.
"What's so funny everyone?"
"Kari!" Tai exclaimed. "You should be in bed! Why did Gatomon let you out?"
"Tai," Kari said, "I needed to go to the bathroom. After I did, I heard everyone talking so I came in. What's going on? What are you all doing here?"
"Umm…"
"You see…"
"We wanted to say hi and feel better to you but Tai said you were asleep still. So, we just stayed and talked," Sora lied. Everyone except for Kari sent Sora a grateful look.
"Okay…" Kari said, unconvinced. She started coughing again. "See you *cough* all later," Kari said and she walked back into her room.
"Phew," Yolei said. "That was close."
"Yeah, but I feel bad for not telling her," TK said.
"Do you want to worry her?" Davis asked.
"No…but-"
"Remember, if Kari finds out, it's Tai's fault," Matt said.
"Yeah, it's my fault. Hey, wait a second!" Everyone laughed at Tai.
Davis looked out the window. No matter what, I won't let anyone hurt you Kari. I'll protect you with my life.
TK sighed. I hope everything turns out okay. Kari, I will make sure you stay alive. Even if I have to die in the process.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kari frowned as she climbed back into bed. Gatomon was on one of her pillows. I wonder what they were talking about? I know they didn't come here to tell me to feel better. Especially if ALL of them are here. They must be talking about some news about the Digital World. But why wouldn't they tell me? Unless it had to do with me… She climbed out of bed and opened her door quietly. She tiptoed to the living room where the others were. She listened to their conversation.
"I wonder why this guy wants Kari, though," Mimi said. "I mean, what did she ever do to him?"
"Mimi, this guy wants Kari for her power and for…her. I wonder what her true power is like?" Joe wondered.
"How does this guy know Kari, though? I mean, he wrote, "I can't wait to see you again." That means they've already met. Has Kari ever seemed afraid or worried at home?" Izzy asked.
"No, I'm pretty sure she hasn't," Tai confirmed.
"I never knew that there was someone known as the Angel of Light," Ken commented.
"If you ask me, that perfectly describes Kari. She's an angel and she has the crest and digimental of light," Davis said.
"But it's freaky…someone might kidnap Kari on the 15th…which is only a few days away…"
Kari leaned against the wall. Some guy is after me? I wonder why? What does he want from me? She felt herself getting more and more scared. What if he gets me? Or even worse…what if he hurts any of my friends? What if they try to protect me and get killed in the process? I have to leave here before they get hurt because of me! Kari went back into her room.
"Gatomon, wake up," she whispered.
"Huh? Oh, hi Kari…KARI!?!? What are you doing up? You're sick!" Gatomon scolded.
Kari shushed her. "SHH!" She told Gatomon everything.
"Some guy's after you? Creepy," Gatomon said. Then she bent down her head in shame and said, "Sorry."
"That's okay. But I need to leave here," Kari said.
"Why?" Gatomon asked.
"I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me," Kari said.
"Well," Gatomon said, "I don't approve of it but it's not like you're going to listen to me. So, I'll come with you."
"Really?" Kari asked.
"Sure! That's what friends are for! Especially if it's a Digimon and its partner!" Gatomon said.
Kari smiled and started packing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well, we have to go now probably. Our parents might get worried," TK said.
"Okay," Tai said.
"Could we say bye to Kari?" Sora asked.
"Sure." Tai led the Digidestined to Kari's room. "Kari? Can we come in?" No answer. "Kari? Are you awake?" No answer again. "Gatomon, are you awake?" Nothing. Tai opened the door quietly. "Kari?" he whispered. He looked around the room and at Kari's bed. It was empty. "Kari's gone!"
"What?" Davis and TK exclaimed. The Digidestined rushed into Kari's room.
"Do you think that guy came and took her? But it's not the 15th! Today's the 13th!" Yolei said.
"Here's a note!" Joe read it aloud:
"Dear Tai, TK, Davis, Sora, Mimi, Yolei, Joe, Cody, Matt, Izzy, and Ken,
I have to leave here. I heard what you guys said about someone coming after me on the 15th. I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me. I'd rather be kidnapped and killed. Please understand.
You don't have to worry too much about me. Gatomon is with me and she'll protect me. As for my fever…it'll go away soon and I have some money. I could buy some medicine.
Goodbye my friends.
-Kari"
"Damn!" Tai shouted.
"K-Kari!" TK cried out. She's out there all alone…even with Gatomon they can't defeat this enemy by themselves. Why did you leave Kari?
