Disclaimer: Kon nichiwa minna! Michelle Samiyo, here! By now you should know the routine. I own neither Digimon nor any of its affiliates. I also do not own the food I mention. This chapter is dedicated to all the people who have taken the time to review. Without you all, this story would have died long ago. I also write this with summer on my mind, so I'm gonna have to speed up the months to bring this story where I need it be in the next few chapters. Anyways, on with the fic!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last time on T.K., the protector of Light... whoops... I mean Hope: Kari has a venomous conversation with Akuinnen and Kari discovers she is not after her, but T.K.! Davis awakens and franticly searches for Kari, explaining to T.K. she can't be alone in "this world". This signals to T.K. that they've been here before. Meanwhile, Kari has been wounded and is losing blood fast. She keeps sending telepathic messages, but only Davis seems to hear them. Davis ends up saving Kari miraculously from a quick, and death seeming, descend. He then sends Akuinnen and her posse away. Davis then performs an unusual ritual to heal Kari, which include sucking her blood! But how can stupid, careless, not to mention reckless, Davis be capable of doing the things T.K. has seen?
Chapter 5: Thou Art Strong Takeru
"Thank you my courageous warrior," She managed to get out before she passed out from loss of blood. Davis turned his attention to the group of Digimon in front of him. He carefully placed his hand upon Kari's head before holding it out in front of him.
"LIGHT'S HOPE!" He screamed as a bright light emerged from his hand and engulfed the figures in front of him. Akuinnen gritted her teeth.
"Don't think it's over Daisuke, I have much more planned for the likes of you three!" She screamed before opening up the sky and flying through the portal. The portal closed and Davis gently lay Kari on the ground, T.K. still too shocked to speak. He took Kari's left hand in his own and bent down over her wound. He then licked the blood pouring from the cut as well as the area around it. He then lay Kari's hand over the wound. Placing his own hands upon hers, he mutters something in a language T.K. couldn't manage to catch. She shone brightly of white light for a few seconds before returning to normal. Davis then carefully removed his hands and kissed her forehead. T.K. asked voice wavering from fright, "Are... Are you a... a vampire?" Davis brought his eyes to meet T.K.'s; they glimmered as if they held some terrible secret.
T.K. feared what that secret was, suddenly he couldn't think properly. His thoughts seemed veiled by a dark curtain. And bit by bit, his vision faded to black. T.K. started to panic, but soon strong, comforting arms took him into their grip and he felt all his senses drain out of him. He couldn't remember much of anything after that, save from muffled voices that sounded so distant, yet so near, so new to him, yet so familiar. He was lulled off by a tranquilizing pattern of green and turquoise ribbons dancing though out his brain waves.
________________________________________________________________________
T.K. slowly opened his eyes. He looked around him, he was no longer is the land he was at before. He now lay on a couch with a blanket atop him. He sat up and pushed the blanket down a bit and looked around for a sign that anyone else was there. When his eyes found the kitchen, he saw a figure. He immediately noticed the person was female. "Kari?" He asked. The figure turned around and he saw the person looked kinda like Kari, but it couldn't be her. Her hair was to long, it came down past her shoulders and to her mid back and her eyes were not that chocolate brown color Kari's were but a jade green. There was something about this girl that was different. Something shone off of her that clearly wasn't human. The girl smiled at him and he felt a wave of something pass over him. His mind was filled with so many shades of purple all at once, making patterns as if they were trying to tell him something. The girl walked up to him and asked, "Do you know who I am, T.K.? Do you know who I am?" He stared at her as the purple streamers darted out of his mind as fast as they had come. "Didn't you hear it? Didn't you hear the answer within your thoughts?" T.K. looked at her carefully.
"What are you talking about?" She smiled at him sadly.
"If thou doest not hear her cries, how art thou to rescue her?" She repeated. T.K. knew those words; they had come from Davis' lips not to long before. The girl before him sighed. "Thou knowest not to whom thine heart belongs, has powers unimaginable and dangerous. Thou knowest not thine ally's powers. But most of all, thou knowest not thine own powers." He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"What... What do you mean?" He asked confused to her words real meaning.
"Thou art strong Takeru. Thine ally art strong and to whom thine heart belongs art strong. Together ye shall destroy a great darkness. Together ye shall learn of great powers bestowed upon thee. Together ye shall find Hope, Light, Courage, Friendship, Knowledge, Sincerity, Reliability, Kindness, and Love." She told him. She kissed him on the forehead and a black veil numbed his thoughts and shut his eyes unto darkness. "Together ye shall Ability. But only together," She whispered and he drifted back into dark and dreamless sleep.

"Davis what are we going to do with him?" Kari asked fearfully watching Davis lay T.K. on her couch. Davis spread a blanket over him.
"Kari, he knows." He answered bluntly. She gasped slightly.
"How?" She asked.
"He saw."
"Oh God...." She said covering her mouth.
"We'll convince him it was all a dream."
"Will it work?"
"We don't have many other options."
"Can't we...." She began.
"No." She sighed and nodded.
________________________________________________________________________
T.K opened his eyes. He found that he lay on a couch with a blanket atop him. He quickly sat up throwing the blanket off him. He jerked his head towards the kitchen and found a female standing in there. "Kari?" He practically demanded of the girl. She turned around and smiled at him.
"Morning T.K., well it's really not morning but..." He sighed a breath of relief.
"Sora...." She smiled again and turned back to whatever she was doing. T.K. took a deep breath and realized she was cooking something, and it smelled good.
"Kari's with in her room with Tai." Sora answered.
"Not any more," A voice answered. T.K. turned and smiled at Kari. "Hey, how ya feeling?" She asked smiling back at him.
"Fine, I guess," He answered.
"Good, we were worried," A voice behind her answered. Davis walked out from behind her. For once he didn't look at him angrily. Davis was giving him a look that T.K. couldn't describe nor one had ever seen before on his face. T.K. looked at Kari and his eyes immediately fell upon her shoulder. He then glared at Davis.
"She better be okay Davis," He threatened. Kari looked at Davis worried. He nodded and she looked back at T.K.
"Are you sure you're all right T.K.?" She asked. T.K. stood up and waved a finger at Davis threateningly.
"What did you do to her? You drank her blood! What did you want her blood for you pervert!" He screamed. Tai and Matt rushed out of Kari's room upon hearing T.K.'s screaming.
"T.K.! Chill!" Matt screamed. T.K. took several deep breaths still glaring at Davis.
"Now, what are you yelling about?" Tai asked looking at him oddly. T.K waved a finger at Davis accusingly.
"He... He's a vampire!" Tai looked at Davis and Kari.
"Should we get him to a doctor?" He asked them.
"I don't need a doctor! I know what I saw! Davis drank Kari's blood!"
"T.K. relax, it was all a dream. You dreamt it all up," Matt assured him.
"I was not dreaming! You weren't there! Ask Kari! She was attacked by this demon girl and was bleeding to death and then Davis caught her and did some spell and drank her blood! I know he did, I saw him do it!" Matt put his hand on T.K.'s forehead and T.K. slapped him away. "I am not sick!" Kari walked over to T.K. and took his hand. T.K. saw Davis looking at Kari with an emotion T.K. could not put his finger on. Kari brushed some strands of hair away from T.K.'s eyes.
"T.K., it was all a dream. After the power went out you hit your head and were knocked unconscious. Davis happened to call my cell phone shortly after the power went out to check up on me," She explained. Davis finished the story.
"She told me she was fine but the power went out you were unconscious, so I rushed over. When I got here the power had already come back on so I lifted you up onto the couch. Matt, Tai, and Sora walked in while I was laying you down." Matt and Tai nodded. Sora walked in with a bowl of Macaroni and cheese. Kari let go of T.K. and took a step back. Sora handed the bowl to T.K.
"I found a pot of this is the kitchen, I'm assuming you and Kari had made it..." Sora drifted off as she noticed T.K. was wearing Tai's clothes. "Errr...." Neither Matt nor Tai seemed to notice him outfit. "Um.... T.K., why are you wearing Tai's clothes?" T.K. went beat red and sweat dropped.
"Errr.... I, uh..." He stuttered at loss of words. Tai glared at him along with Matt.
"What were you two doing! Why are you wearing Tai's/my clothes?!" They both demanded. Kari started laughing nervously.
"Oh that, well you see this bag of flour fell over and covered both of us so I told him to take a shower and let him borrow some of your clothes. That's all," She explained laughing nervously. Tai glared at her now.
"Then how did YOU get clean?" He asked dangerously.
"She took her shower after him," Davis explained. Everyone turned his or her heads to him.
"How do you know?" Tai asked him venomously.
"I had come over and heard the water running. She said that Tai was home and was in the shower. She said it extremely loudly because the water had stopped running and she didn't want me to know T.K. was in the shower. She slammed the door on me. I was walking away when I saw T.K. through the window. T.K. went and put his dirty clothes in washer and Kari left for the bathroom. A few minutes later the power went out."
"Oh." Tai answered blushing slightly in embarrassment at his accusations. "Heh, sorry Kari, T.K."
"Sokay." Kari answered and smiled at Davis. T.K. simply looked at Davis in disbelief. He had been spying on them and he admitted to it. It must have been because he couldn't stand that Matt and Tai had thought... That had to be why. But he was totally calm about it. Why was he so calm about T.K. taking a shower at his crush's house? Why was he okay with Kari showing affection towards T.K.? And why was he saying T.K.'s name correctly? It all totally boggled T.K. It didn't make any sense.
________________________________________________________________________
Kari smiled at Davis. He had saved her from the wrath of her brother. She was glad he was so accepting of the fact she had shown affection to T.K. and he had let her. But she knew that look; he was warning her. Telling her to watch her actions, or she'd be in trouble. She knew he was right, but she was glad he gave her some space. Right now she needed space; her whole life had changed once again. And this time, the changes were bigger than big. They were life threatening.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was T.K's experience really a dream? Who was that strange woman he encountered? And why is Davis acting like he's totally okay with Kari holding T.K.'s hand and brushing hair out of his eyes? Chapter six holds these answers.
