The light started to crawl up TK's arm, every part of his body the light touched began to tingle with an energy that was almost like electricity. The power was spreading thought his whole body, filling every fiber of his being. It filled him like fire. His eyes began to burn with the urge to close but he couldn't do it. He couldn't move at all. The power was eating him alive.
Suddenly, he could move again. The power was beginning to dissipate. It seemed to be draining into the Earth below him. The red spread out into the ground and dispersed itself. He looked at the ring. The heart had cracked in the center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kari ran back to the hotel room. She had nowhere else to go, and was fairly sure that TK hadn't gone back there yet. She needed a good shower and a change of clothes. She opened the door and stepped inside the room. She stripped off her clothes and threw them aside. She walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like shit. A night of crying and running in the rain does not make a girl pretty. She turned on the shower and got in. The warm water cleansing her body felt good. For a while, she forgot all of her problems.
Kari got out of the shower and put a towel around herself. She walked out of the bathroom and her breath caught in her throat. TK was lying unconscious on the floor by one of the beds. She ran over to see what had happened. "TK? Wake up, TK." She shook him lightly. A sharp pain stung the back of her neck, and the world went blank.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TK woke up. It took him a while to come to his senses, but he soon realized he was back in the hotel room. He wasn't sure how he got there, the last thing he remembered was seeing the cracked heart ring and then a sharp pain hit him in the back of his neck. He sat up on the bed, realizing that they must have taken Kari again. Why else wouldn't she be here? He began to lose hope of ever finding her. He sat there for hours, thinking about nothing else except how he would ever see Kari's beautiful face again. Suddenly, he woke from his daydream, and realized he felt a twinge in his right hand. The ring was glowing again.
The ring felt like it was trying to pull him. TK quickly caught on and followed where the ring was directing him. He got into the hotel elevator, and pressed the lobby button. The ring fell off of his finger, and fell through the floor of the elevator. He slammed down to the floor of the elevator and looked through the hole in the floor. All he could see was darkness. He quickly pressed the "B4" button. He hoped it would work. It seemed a janitor had left the control for that floor on. The elevator descended past the lobby, and into the depths of the basements.
When the elevator reached B4, (the lowest basement), the ring rose out of the hole in the elevator's floor, and replaced itself on TK's right hand. The elevator doors opened. The hallway in the basement stretched forward, and then turned left about 100 feet away. TK stepped out of the elevator.
"Hello?" TK shouted into the hallway, "Is anybody down here?" There was no response, he proceeded to the turn in the hallway, and looked down. It seemed there was nothing but darkness ahead of him. Looking at the ring, he saw it glow, and felt it pull him forward. He proceeded on bravely.
Lights blared on in front of TK, he winced at the sudden brightness. He was in a very large, brightly light room. There were no structures, except for four stone columns, about 3 feet apart each, that did not go up very high lined up near the center, and a stone slab in the middle of the columns. Kari was tied to the stone slab, so that each of her limbs were pointing towards a corner of the slab. She was completely nude.
"KARIIIII!" TK shouted as he ran towards the slab. He was 20 feet away when pillars of fire exploded from the columns. TK stopped in his tracks. There was no one to be seen in the room. TK looked around. "Show yourself! Or are you to cowardly to face the power of a love Torn Apart?" TK raised his right fist in front of him and it glowed red, fiercely, the hear still cracked down the middle. The two pieces seemed to be spreading apart, very slowly.
"Cowardly? Ha! You will wish we were cowardly!" TK heard the sound of Sora's voice. She flew up from behind the stone slab, wearing nothing but a thin leather leotard. TK was suddenly grabbed from behind. He slightly turned his head. Joe was holding him. TK got angrier when Sora landed in front of Kari, and touched Sora's face. TK could not hear Soar, but she was talking to Kari. Suddenly Sora's hand flew from Kari's face to her crotch. TK could see her sticking some fingers violently up her vagina, as her free arm grabbed Kari's face, and Sora continued to talk into Kari's ear. Kari looked in an incredible amount of pain. TK was very, very angry.
"GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF OF HER!" TK roared. His hand flared red and Joe flew violently away from TK. He immediately rushed up to Sora and grabbed her hands. Sora appeared frightened. TK, still holding Sora's hands, put his right hand in front of Sora's face and showed her the ring, "Do you see what you've done? What you're doing to us? You've no right to interfere, you never did, you never should have existed in the first place!" TK screamed. Sora looked at the hand and appeared to be in an extreme amount of pain. "Oh I'm sorry does it burn? I guess that's the price you pay for being a TEARER!" TK suddenly lost control of his right arm. It twisted Sora around, and flung here towards empty space. A portal opened in front of Sora and she flew into it. TK looked at Kari, she appeared to be fainting, her eyes were shut. His hand stopped glowing and he moved to untie her. She fell into his arms, a naked beauty. He stopped trying to hold his tears back, they flowed down his face, he was so happy to have her again. Joe ran away to the elevator, unnoticed. TK shook Kari to wake her. She woke, hugged him, and he hugged her back. They were both crying tears of joy now. Kari pulled back a bit and looked straight at TK. "I love you Takeru Takaishi. I always have, and I always will, no matter what comes between us." Kari said lightly.
"I love you too, Hikari Kamiya." TK responded. The both looked into each other's eyes with the most immense feeling of love and joy. The heart on the ring joined back together. TK leaned towards Kari and kissed her, and they help each other in their undying embrace forever.

A/N: Wow. That was an ending to end all endings. Well not really but it's my best work yet. I'm really proud of this.
And it left me an opening for another fic, continuing this one, but from someone else's viewpoint. See if you can guess who.
Oh and I have to say this, to all of you who are stupid out there. They didn't really stay embracing there in the basement forever, it was a metaphor meaning they loved each other forever.
I'm sorry I had to say that, but I just know some people will never get that without a little help. Please read and review. I'm starting another fic soon. It'll be my first non-digific…. Maybe.
Oh and by the way, I'm really sorry it took so long to finish. I lost my muse many times over these years, and I had been depressed. But I've recently regained my belief and trust in love, and I'll be writing a lot to come.
