FLF: Well, I saw that TK guy again.

Voices: and?

FLF: Now he's my bitch.

Voices: He was a cartoon, wasn't he?

FLF: no.

Voices: Yes.

FLF: Fine. He's still my bitch.

~*~ Kari's POV

Snow. It blanket's my world in a pure white. White, like a blank piece of paper. White like the beginning, before there was the color which life brings. All can start anew in the snow. Perhaps that's why I had just snuck out of my dorm room in the middle of the night tonight, the first snow of the year, let the whiteness fall upon me, let the whiteness take me back to the beginning and erase all my deeds. But as soon as the whiteness hit my sleeve it became a beautiful lacey star. Slowly it melted thinner and thinner until it took on it's own form, and I saw that it is different from all the others. It was a life of its own, and I dubbed its as parallel to mine. I believed that each snowflake had a life and a destiny. Each swirl of the wind took it through a turning point in its life, some good, and some bad. I looked down on my snowflake, smiling.

Suddenly a larger stronger looking snowflake came and landed on top of mine. They bonded into one at the touch, like they were falling in love. They now were about to melt into my pink fleece jacket, so I blew them, up into the air where they were swirled by the wind. I blew the two toward the sky and followed them with my eyes all the way to the south, where they drifted out of site.

TK's POV

I looked out the window as I listened to the tape again. I couldn't hear Kari tell me she loved me enough.... It was the first snow of the year and I watched the tiny flakes writhe and swirl in the wind. It was so sweet and so pure I pulled on my jacket and walked outside. I watched the snowfall from the north. A little snowflake had a tiny piece of pink fleece in it. It came and landed on my nose. The snow melted and ran down my face. I took the piece of fleece into my hands and rubbed it to my cheek. "I love you too Hikari" I whispered no louder than the wind that carried my message.

Kari's POV

It occurred to me that winter break would be coming in three days. I would be going home. Maybe I'd get a chance to speak to TK. Another good thing. Life was looking up. It hadn't done that in a while...

And sure enough, before I knew it, Izzy and I were boarding the bus to go home. We were both happy to see everyone again, and we chatted merrily about it the whole way back.

When I got off the bus I saw the Izumis and I waved. I saw Tai and Sora and to my great surprise, TK was there too. I ran up to them. Tai and Sora gave me hugs, but then Takeru walked up to me and wowed me with a kiss. I'd forgotten what it was like and now I was just melting. It was like going to heaven and back. He held me tightly. This was the embrace that I had missed so...

"but... I did... and you made... and mph!" I started but his lips cut me off again.

"Hikari, you have some friend you know that?"

"Huh?" I said putting my stuff into the trunk of Tai's car. He took out Kaori's letter, and I read it and looked up shocked. She had taped that conversation...

"I love you Hikari, and I don't care about what happened at that place. The thing's we've done, the people we've kissed they don't matter now, all I know is that I love you, and you love me." I smiled. Finally there was a truth that I liked.

TK'S POV

Before we knew it we were at her house. We walked in and she looked and she looked around. She beckoned for me (the carrier of the rest of her stuff) to follow her to her room. I put the stuff down and watched her reunite with all her things. "Mr. Snuffs!" she said cuddling her teddy bear, "I missed you yes I did!" I laughed, girls and their stuffed animals...

"Meko! Now you come here! I couldn't have gotten into this school if it wasn't for you!" she called. Meko was only happy to; Kari was the only one who ever really paid attention to him. He climbed into her arms and purred.

"So TK, what have you been up to?" she asked, beckoning for me to join her on the top bunk.

"Umm... let's see..." I gave her sideways smile "My basketball team made it to the playoffs!"

"Kawai! How's school?"

"Particularly nasty."

"How so" she asked, pouting.

"Well, I just handed my term paper in for Biology, and a research paper for History. Right now I have two more days of school in which I have to finish reading "To Kill a Mockingbird"" I made an icky face

"To Kill a Mockingbird"?" She asked "That's one of my favorite books ever! That's great American literature. So different from most of the stuff we read, being in Japan and all."

"You read it then. Tell me all about it." I said

"Nope. It's a literary gem. I will read it WITH you if you'd like." She replied crossing her arms

"How about you read it to me?" I asked climbing up to the top bunk with her. I put my arm around her, and we laid back and looked at the ceiling. She cuddled close to me.

"Okay, but you have to listen." She said tapping me on the nose. "Where are you in the book?"

"Um... The part where the Burris Ewell threatens Miss Caroline." I said realizing how little of the book I had actually read.

"Jeez, we're going to be up all night" I smirked evilly.

"Nope, not until not until they go into the Dubose house." She said in reply to the smirk, and in turn began to grin like an idiot.

(AN: I do not own To Kill a Mockingbird. It was written by. Harper Lee. I'm pretty sure, anyhow. It's been a while since I read it or wrote this. Anyway, I forgot to put that in the disclaimer)

Kari's POV

"Miss Maudie stared down at me, her lips moving silently. Suddenly she put her hands to her head and whooped. When we left her, she was still chuckling. Jem said he didn't know what was the matter with her- that was just Miss Maudie." I read then looked up.

"Who do you think you resemble the most in the story?" I asked him, quizzing

"The narrator, ya know, the main character." he replied

"You didn't listen to a word I said!" I replied indignantly

"Yes I did! How can somebody not listen to your voice?" He said smiling

"Well then. What's the main character's brother's name."

"Jeb."

"Jem... close"

"Father's name?"

"Aquarius"

"No, it's Atticus. Silly mistakes, but here is the clincher: Why do you compare yourself with Jean Louise Finch?" I asked

"Who's Jean Louise Finch?" he replied

"I told you! You didn't hear a word."

"I was too busy looking at you.," he cooed

"Yeah well..." I said leaning up and giving him a quick kiss. "Mmmm. Jean Louise Finch, not bad let's call it a day!" I said walking out of the bedroom where we had spent the entire afternoon reading. It was time for dinner, and we were going out with all the other Digidestined to plan for the holidays.

"Who's Jean Louise?" He called at me chasing me out the door.

"I'm not telling!" I said. He chased me out the door of the apartment and down the hall. I jumped over anything in my path. He chased me. Finally after hurdling down the steps his long fast legs caught up with me. He grabbed my shirt making my bra straps show. "Takeru!" I yelled. I skidded to a halt. He flew past me and ended up on his butt.

The plan wasn't perfect though because he still held my shirt in his hand and it caused me to fall on top of him. We broke out laughing. "Well then, you'll just have to read the book!" I giggled at him

"'Spose so... You Blue Meany!" He accused

"You remember that?" I marveled

"Yeah! It was the oddest of all the Beatles' movies! Ah... Yellow Submarine."

I laughed gently, "Well, anyway, I'd better change shirts... This is AHEM all stretched out. I wonder AHEM how that could have happened..."

"I know, I can see your bra!" he said as I went to walk away. Suddenly I felt a snap against my back.

"TK!!!!" I screamed I pulled on his ear and kept a grip all the way back up to my apartment. "Ouch!" he said, "You have a firm grip!"

"MUAHAHAHAHA" I cackled wildly walking into my room. I changed shirts and looked myself over, making a face at the mirror. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail. There. I looked all right now.

"C'mon! Tai and Sora will be here any second!" He called

"Coming!" I yelled to him running out the door. I caught up to him, "Oh, Kari, you look beautiful!"

TK's POV

We pulled up to the restaurant and walked in. We saw Matt, Mimi, Izzy, Jyou, and Yolie sitting at a table chatting contentedly. Cody walked in right after us.

"Hi all!" Kari said smiling

"Hey!" Jyou called

We took our seats. I sat next to Kari, who sat next to Mimi and across from Sora. I sat next to Matt on the other side, and across from Izzy. .

"So... we're all here... right?" Tai said

"Yes." Sora confirmed

"Forgot me?" Davis said sounding rather cantankerous.

"No." I scoffed, "We didn't invite you."

"Why?" Kari asked looking at me innocently and pulling on my sleeve.

"He tried to break us up... remember?" I replied in a fierce whisper thinking of the less than pleasant memory.

~*~

Kari's POV

"What are you talking about TK? Is there something you're not telling me?" I demanded.

"He came to my house and told me you were cheating. He showed me a part of a letter that sounded suggestive of you and what's his face." He said with distaste. "I really want to give him a taste of his own medicine."

Okay, the next chapter is complete Dai revenging. I'm not sure what I was on when I wrote it, or how I justified it to the story, but I had to leave it in because, oh hell. It's fun. But it's very easy to skip over if you're not up for that sort of thing.
