Chapter 20
The Letter
Kari was sitting in her room, fiddling with an envelope that T.K. had given her the night before. She wanted to open it but was afraid at what she might find. What it was an apology, and then at the bottom was the words I want to break up. She wouldn't be able to stand that if it was. She couldn't stand it any more she had to see what was inside. She got up and took a pair of scissors and opened it.
The Letter read:
Dear Kari,
Nothing in this world will ever be able to show you how much I love you and need you in my life. I bet you were expecting something like what Li gave to Sakura. Well at first I planned just that but it wasn't enough to show you. So instead I decided to write you this letter. This letter will always be a reminder of how much I love and care for you. No amount of jewellery can come close. You are too beautiful. It would not be fare to the world. I leave you with this sign of my love for you, have a happy Valentine's Day. And every other day for that matter. Just remember that I will always be here to protect you no matter what.
Love Your One And Only
Takeru (T.K.) Takaishi.
P.S. This letter is only the beginning.
As Kari read this tears started to roll down her cheeks. She was so lucky to of found a guy like T.K. nothing would every take him away from her. Or at least she hoped. But they didn't know what was coming next. Soon after her crying fit began Tai thought he heard something and went to investigate. He entered his room to find a crying Kari lying on her bed.
"Kari? Are you alright?" Tai asked her.
"Yes. I was just taken a little aback by T.K. present that he gave me," Kari told him.
"Oh really what was it?"
"This letter," Kari said holding out the letter that she had gripped in her hands.
"That's all he got you?" Tai asked dumbfounded.
"He said that nothing in this world would be able to show me, how much he loves me. So he wrote me this letter that was a symbol of his love for me," Kari told him.
"Oh. Well that's different," Tai told her. "But why are you crying?"
"Because it's so sweet and I'll never be able to thank him enough," Kari said crying into her pillow.
"Kari I think he already knows," Tai suggested.
"Perhaps, but I will find a way to show him!" Kari somewhat shouted.
"Ah, Kari you better not be thinking what I think your thinking," Tai scolded her.
"Don't worry. We're much to young for that. I have something else in mind. I see you later I need to go find T.K." Kari said running out of the house. And Tai repeated.
"She better not do what I think she's gonna do."
Kari was already half way down the block as Tai said this. When she was motivated she could run quite fast. And nothing motivates her more then seeing T.K.
"Please be home. Please be home. Please be home. Please be home," Kari repeated to herself over and over again. Until she reached his apartment. As she walked up to his door and rang the doorbell, she again started saying. "Be there, be there, be there," Over and over again. As she was saying this the door opened and there stood a shocked T.K.
"Kari what are you do....." He was unable to finish since Kari practically jumped on him and stopped his speech by pressing her lips on his. After a moment or two, Kari let go and said.
"I want to thank you for the letter. It's beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anything better."
"No problem anything that makes you act like that has to be good right?" He asked her.
"Oh T.K. stop. I had to show my thanks some how and I couldn't think of a better way. My brother thinks it's something different though. So Shh don't tell him," Kari said whispering into his ear.
"Don't worry my lips are sealed," He told her letting his fingers run over his lips in a zipper closing motion. "You wanna come in? My mom is out in assignment, and I don't know where Madison disappeared to," T.K told her.
"Sure I'd love to," She said as she walked in T.K. following behind her.
"Would you like something to drink?" He asked her.
"Sure. What do you have?" Kari asked.
"Um, let me look," T.K. said as he walked over to the refrigerator. "Okay, we got coke, some sort of punch, Um... ice tea," He would have went on but Kari stopped him.
"Coke is fine T.K." She told him. He reached in and grabbed two coke cans, and brought it over to were Kari was standing.
"Here ya go," He said giving her the can.
"Thanks," She replied. "So what do you want to do?" Kari asked him.
"Not sure. Anything that you were planning to do today?" T.K. asked.
"No the only thing that I planned for today was cutting Gatomon's nails and I did that early this morning when she was still asleep. She likes her nails the way they are. But I'd been getting some complaints about them being to long. And I'll keep those people anonymous," Kari told T.K. laughing slightly.
"Yea, I would figure that. So anything special happen with you lately?" T.K. asked.
"Not really," She replied.
