All right, I've got an upset TK, Mimi, and Ken. I've got a pissed off Sora
and Michael a confused Tai and an unconscious Travis... Wow I've been busy.
Ok now I really want to know this, how many of y'all liked Travis' little
tirade? Or at lest thought he had a point?
I don't own Digimon. Hell I don't even own the Movie I'm just borrowing it from a friend right now for reference, I really wish I could remember in pictures, it would makes things like eye color and such much easier, oh well at lest I remember some obscure details from the show.
Book 2 Equilibrium: Counter Weight
Chapter 1
Tai walked into the forest after TK. His heart went out to the kid and he knew that Travis was right he would need a friend, God knows that he had. He smiled a bit as he remembered what he had put both Izzy and Kari though. At lest TK was lucky that Patimon was here so he wouldn't be denied his best friend like Tai had been. That wasn't the main reason he had done as Travis had asked, no *ordered* him to do, oh no. He had needed to get away from seeing Sora and Mat together, added with the site of his little sister with Davis and it had been too much.
TK didn't deserve the heartache that sight had to have provoked, and that little weasel Davis had had to smile about it. It had been that smile that had made him turn to go with out a word of protest. Tai had known then that he had made a horrible mistake. The only reason that he hadn't beaten Davis was because he had seen so much of himself in the kid that his heart had gone out to him.
Davis had been trapped in the same type of love he himself was in. The love of his life belonged to another, and that other just happened to be Mat's younger brother. It hadn't started that way of coarse, Davis had just been a kid that he had helped in soccer with a similar taste in head wear and personality. Almost like a kid brother. It hadn't been until TK's return to Kari's life and the start of Ken's rain of terror that he had found out about the other. He had let the poor kid go, he couldn't stop him and he was bound for a nasty heart brake so why hurt him unless he hurt Kari first.
There had never been any doubt in Tai's mind that his little sister would end up with TK at some point, they had been in constant contact sense they were eight and best friends to boot. (Should have told you right there that it wouldn't work. Sora should have been proof enough.) 'Yes she should have been, and perhaps she was...' his train of thought had just reached a station he didn't want to think about, but the blond boy he had just reached might need to hear it, or he might just need to say it. "I'm sorry TK, this is all my fault."
*******
Tai's voice bounced around in TK's skull, 'I'm sorry TK, this is all my fault.' It didn't make sense, it wasn't Tai's fault, it was his for not voicing his feelings to Kari, or it was Mat or Sora's fault for making him keep his words in check so as to not hurt Tai even more by looking like he, Mat's little brother, was trying to take Tai's sister away from him too. Tai's voice cut the silence once more, his words almost bled regret.
"I always just assumed that you and Kari would get together in the end, the angels of hope and light. You were bonded by your tie to Azulongmon and your freindship. Did I ever thank you for taking care of her for me TK? If I didn't then thank you and if I had then thank you again..." He paused to collect himself, TK could tell that what was coming next was herd for the older boy to voice but he seemed to need this, besides knowing that Tai excepted him made him feel a bit better, if Tai was on his side then there was still some hope left after all.
"Next to... next to Sora... Kari is the most important person in this world to me and you have done a better job of protecting her then I ever did. And I'm afraid I've failed her once again, only this time she isn't the only one who was hurt. I let Davis get away with a lot of things I normally never would have let pass, only because I saw a lot of me in him and I didn't think he ever really had a chance. He was after my baby sister, I didn't see it right away but once I did and I knew that you were the one standing in his way I... I let it slide.
"I told myself all kinds of reasons as to why it was ok. You would never let him hurt her, and he never had a chance in the first place. But the truth was I was hoping that he would win. Because when I saw you all I saw was your brother, and I wanted your brother to hurt so I ended up hurting you instead. For that I am truly sorry.
"For a minute there when she ran to Davis I was ecstatic, and that caught me off guard. I only came to realize what I had done a few moments ago but that doesn't pardon it. For what I did I'm not sure if I can be forgiven, and I don't think I can forgive myself. Did you see that simile of victory he had on his face? He doesn't love her and I just couldn't see it before and now she chouse him all because I... I..." and with that he broke off into sobs. His failure complete. He had failed his sister, his friend and himself.
*******
TK stared at the older boy for a moment, the tears caught him off guard. He had only seen Tai cry a few times and that normally initialed that Kari or Sora was in mortal danger, he was the leader, the one who could show no fear. TK had watched him back when he was eight, had hero worshiped him for some time. He trusted Tai in almost all things, and in some ways more then his own older brother.
And now he got to see first hand what Kari had been talking about, the devastation that Tai dealt with everyday. How could they have done this to him? TK had just decided to go back to the group, he might have jumped to conclusions because of that odd fog. Even if Kari had chosen Davis she would have told him about it by now even if they were never to be more then just friends, but Tai didn't have that luxury.
From what he had found out from Kari, the day that Tai was finely going to tell Sora how he felt, was the day he found out that she was with Mat. She hadn't told him, and Mat hadn't told him. Had he not been looking for her to spill his guts and give her his heart on a silver platter he might never have known.
He had almost lost his brother the next day. Kari had shown up bright and early looking for blood, her brown eyes so dark he felt like he was looking into the heart of the Dark Ocean. She didn't even know why Mat was going to die, just that he had hurt Tai and now it was his turn. She had scared the hell out of him that day, and seeing as Mat wouldn't tell him the story until later and then not until after he had made his offer he hadn't had a clue as to what was wrong either. So he had pulled her into a hug. She had fought for a bit but once she realized she wouldn't be getting out she had broken down and cried, telling him what she knew.
Tai had come home with Agumon in tow both looking a little shell shocked. Tai had tear stains on his cheeks and after walking into there room and one violent "Damn it Mat, why?!" she had heard him crying once more. Agumon wouldn't talk about it, except to say that he was impressed about how much Tai had grown up before growling something about Gabumon under his breath and jumping back into the computer. But that was more then enough for Kari it seemed. TK had to whence at the timing of it, he knew better then to upset her that week even if no one else did, he just prayed to God that he never, ever made her that angry at him, he didn't think he would survive it. As it stood only pure dum luck had him staying with this dad and brother that night. He didn't even what to think about what might have happened had he not been there, or had Mat gotten the door.
And now he had to do his best to comfort Tai, who fell to his knees beside him, he looked for Agumon only to find that neither of their digimon had followed.
I don't own Digimon. Hell I don't even own the Movie I'm just borrowing it from a friend right now for reference, I really wish I could remember in pictures, it would makes things like eye color and such much easier, oh well at lest I remember some obscure details from the show.
