The Child of Hope
Part Two: Heartbreaks and confessions
I still don't own digimon, but since I got reviews (much to my surprise) telling me to continue, I think I will. Thanks for the support! (You too Derek! ^^) Anyway, this is about what happened on the way to the Kamiya residence. It's only a flash back. Hope you enjoy!
¤ Start Flashback ¤
Takeru "Tk" Takaishi sat in the passenger's seat, listening to the voice of one of his closest friends. He missed just listening to Tai talk on and on over nothing, but being away for four years does that to you. He smiled sadly as he remembered when he had taken moments like this for granted.
Taichi Kamiya looked at the now grown up Tk, and smiled fondly. He remembered the time Tk was eight and they were in the Digital World, Matt was gone, and Tk was alone. When Tai found Tk, he couldn't believe the immense look of loneliness in his eyes. That was when Tk had asked him, asked him the question that would alter Tai's outlook of Tk, and change his feelings for the young boy. Tk had asked Tai to be his big brother, since he couldn't find his. Tk had such hope in his eyes, Tai couldn't refuse. Ever since then, he had looked at Tk as the little brother he never had, and loved him as dearly as he loved his little sister, Hikari. Tai suddenly remembered what he had to tell his 'little brother', and he regretted every moment to come. "Tai, what's wrong?" Tai looked up, obviously startled. He quickly realized he was in the driveway of his family's house. He looked at Tk. "I have to tell you something, and I'm not sure your going to like it."
Tk looked at the scenery of his home. He had missed this place so much. He closed his eyes for a moment before they quickly snapped back open. He looked at Tai, and asked the first question that popped into his head. the only question that fit with the situation. "Tai, what's wrong?" Tai sighed as he pulled into a driveway, which he assumed was the house they had moved into last year. "I have to tell you something, and I'm not sure your going to like it."
Tai knew what he had to tell Tk would destroy the teenager. Though Tk was wiser than any of the Chosen, even though he could give excellent advice about heartbreak, he would still be crushed. That much he knew, which made it all the more harder to tell the smiling boy in front of him. "Tk, it's about Matt and Kari. They're…"
"…dating." As soon as the words were out of Tai's mouth, Tk felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. In that moment, he felt his smile waver and his eyes drain of any emotion, but only for a second. In that heart wrenching moment, Tk felt the despair that he always buried in his heart, crawling its way to the top, drowning him in a sea of despair and angst. In that single moment, he saw images of his friends as slaves to the Darkness, and Kari being brutally tortured. In the moment, he saw the pain in the eyes of his friend, felt the feeling of betrayal the older boy felt from his sister and friend, and he felt sorrow of letting this happen.
Tai watched as Tk's smile flickered for a moment. He watched the teen battle for control over his emotions, like he did so long ago, and yet again…win. "Tk, what are you going to do?" Tk just smiled, and calmly answered. "Nothing." "WHAT?! YOUR OWN BROTHER STOLE THE GIRL YOU LOVE! AREN'T YOU GOING TO FIGHT FOR HER? SHE TOLD YOU SHE LOVED YOU AFTER YOU CONFESSED YOUR FEELINGS! YOUR JUST GOING TO THROW THAT OUT THE WINDOW?!" Tk stared at Tai calmly. "I'm not going to fight over Kari. She's not a piece of property-" Tk continued, not letting Tai interrupt, as he had intended to do. "and she was never mine in the first place. Feelings change, Tai. Kari might have just had a little crush, a silly schoolgirl crush. Besides, doesn't my brother have the right to be happy?" Tai nodded reluctantly. All Tk said had made sense, damn him. "Sure." "Than lets go inside. I want to see everyone again!" Tk jumped out of the car and waited for Tai. "One more thing, Tai." "What is it?" "How did Mimi take it?" "No where near as good as you did." Both boys chuckled as the grabbed Tk's bags and walked to the front door.
