All right I don't own Digimon that's the only fact you will read. From here
on out, everything else is fiction.
Chapter 2.
Kari stood in shock at the words that had been thrown at her by this new boy. A person whom she had not had any contact with before three days ago. And with only a couple of hours on that one first day. And now three days latter he calls her brother a cowered, her a bitch, Michael a moralistic prick and both Mat and Davis back-stabbers. Now she understood calling Mat that, but the others had her a little confused. That was until she took a look around.
Her stomach gave a little lurch at the sight of Sora and Mat together as the same old litany of 'why's and how could she's' ran though her head, but it was then that she took into account where exactly she was. Once that part made itself known, exactly what Travis had said hit her like a bullet between the eyes.
Her befuddled mind started putting the pieces together. A: She was hugging Davis. B: She had been "playing" with the boys according to Travis. C: her bother would understand just what TK was going though right now. Now A+B+C=... "OH MY GOD! TK!?" She had finely found out why everybody though that she and TK were or would end up together. This mental piecing together had been helped by her remembrance of one occasion when she had seen TK look at her the same way that she had seen her brother look at the picture of Sora he kept in his wallet. A look of longing and resignation. One that she had forced out of her mind because of the implication that it had held.
Her best friend loved her. It was as simple as that. It was that wonderful and it was that horrible. She needed to see him. She didn't know why, or what she would say, or what he would say, but she new that she needed to see him. Something was compelling her and once again she trusted her feelings. It wasn't until she tried to put action to this urge that she realized that something was wrong.
*******
Davis' arms had pulled tighter around Kari the moment her outburst had reached his ears. He couldn't believe it. He had finely won. He had gotten Kari. And now less the five minuets after finely realizing that he was where she belonged, that he was the only one who disserved her, and she was already thinking about TK! It was all that damn Lock's fault. It wasn't bed enough that he had humiliated him with that stupid duel but now he was trying to make him loose Kari now that he had finely gotten her!
He felt her try to run. He closed his arms tighter about her, he would be damned he if he would let her go now. He opened his mouth to tell her that Tai had it under control and that as "His" girl she should go running off after TK like that. Now that he had won he didn't see the need to poke fun having a name that was only two letters long. That was what he and planed until Kari cut him off.
"Davis please, just let me go. *He* needs me." Not even Davis was so dense that he couldn't catch the emphasis on the he in that statement. Davis' heart sank, but hopping he was wrong but knowing that he wasn't, he merely stated that Tai had Travis to help him and that she wasn't needed. He knew he was acting like a jerk. He knew that all he was doing was proving everything that Yoli had ever called him was right, but he couldn't stop. Something within him wouldn't let her go.
Something just kept shouting "MINE!" over and over again. and it was the reaction of that voice in his head, that almost violet "NO!" that it answered to Kari's sobbed "Please, just let me go to him." That made him finally understand something. He didn't love her, he just wanted to own her. Prove to everyone that he was the best. And with that he grew up some, and did the hardiest thing he had ever done.
He let her go.
She had been his obsession. He had been in love with the idea of being in love with her. She was the one every guy wanted, "The unapproachable Kari, the girl no guy could date." She had been a battle he couldn't win, something that Davis never could turn down. Where every other guy had been sacred off by the thought of Tai pounding them, or had asked her friends only to find out that she had "Some guy" on the Internet, he had merely stated that she was his to the whole school and had expected her to see it his way.
As she tore off like a bat out of hell into the woods he thought back to those days and was more then a little upset with himself. The ego boost that he had gotten from that part of the school believing that he had indeed gotten Kari was all he had really wanted from it.
TK's arrival and instant closeness with Kari had put that popularity he had gained at risk, and once everyone figured out that he, TK, had been the "some guy" that Kari had, he had lost it completely. And it had been then, only truly then, that he had started really trying in his campaign to win her heart.
This long look in the mirror, he decided, had come far too late, but now that he knew what he could be, he was going to try to do better for himself and his friends. But mostly he was going to try and be a much better friend to the both of them.
