Disclaimer – I do not own Digimon, well…maybe a little bit of it…NO! I DON'T!! DAMN YOU! Eheheh…sorry 'bout that. ^^;;
Author's Note – Yet again, I'm sorry that I haven't updated. I have a legitimate excuse! I had surgery and my mom wouldn't let me move around for a while. X.x The humanity of it all…gwa… anyhoo! The poem is from an Eva site I found. Not mine! Hmph! I hope you enjoy this chapter! ^^
Chapter 8 –
Tk walked out of Gennai's living room slowly. He silently yawned and stretched, wondering when he fell asleep. 'I must've been during the talk. I hope Gennai's not to pissed at me…he's pretty scary when he's mad….for an old guy. Heh.' Tk continued his voyage to the kitchen, walking past the stairs where the bedrooms were. He was so intent on where he was going, he didn't see the person up ahead, and the two collided. They fell into graceful heaps on the floor, moaning in pain. "Ouch, oh no! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!" Tk scrambled to his feet to help whoever he knocked over, up. She looked up and blinked a few times. "I'm fine Tk, thank you anyway." Tk nodded to her. "I'm really sorry, Kari. I should have been paying attention to where I was going. Gomen nasai!" Kari giggled to herself, completely forgetting about last night's conversation. "It's okay, Tk, really!" He nodded reluctantly as the two continued their descent towards the kitchen. Kari stole a quick look at her best friend and frowned slightly. ' How can Tk be so powerful? He looks normal…and he doesn't show any signs of strength or anything. Maybe Gennai was wrong?' Kari shook herself out of her thoughts and laughed at the end of Tk's joke. The two entered the kitchen to the sounds of laughter and chatter. Kari and Tk grinned and Kari spoke up. "Morning guys!" They all looked up at the sound of her voice, and when the caught sight of Tk, became quiet. No one really knew how to address him, or act around him. Tai cleared his throat. "Good morning Kari, Tk." Tai prayed his voice sounded steady as he said the younger boy's name. Tk nodded to them and sat down next to Tai and Cody. Cody seemed to stiffen a bit and this wasn't lost to Tk. He frowned and looked at Gennai, who in return, shrugged his shoulders. Needless to say, breakfast was quiet that morning.
After breakfast, Tk walked outside to thinks about what had happened that morning. It didn't make any sense…why would the others act so funny towards him? He searched his mind for any reason why they would, but came up with none. He sighed in defeat and ran a hand through his messy blond hair. "Why are they acting so…odd…it's almost as if they're…" "As if they're nervous, Tk?" Tk turned his head to see Gennai behind him, and turned back. "Yea. But why would they be nervous of me? They never have before…" Gennai sighed and sat down next to the Bearer of Hope. ''Tk, last night I told the Digidestined…" Gennai continued to Tk of the conversation he had with the Chosen after he fell asleep.
"Master? Master, the plans are ready to be put into action. All the troops are waiting for is your signal." A little digimon looked up at Devimon, waiting for his next order. The dark digimon nodded his head and continued reading a book. "Tell them not yet. Our…target…isn't in position yet. We will wait." The little digimon nodded his head anxiously, running out of the room to deliver the message he was given. Devimon grinned from inside his book. "Soon, Child of Hope, you will meet your end…very soon. Bwahahaha!" Devimon's laughter rang throughout the room, scaring anything that could hear it.
Tk looked around the table at the rest of the Chosen and Gennai. They were discussing battle tactics and who knows what else. He sighed and looked across the table to Kari and Matt. They had their intertwined hands on top of the table, looking at Gennai seriously. He let out another sigh at the sight of their hands and looked at Kari again. He blushed as she looked back at him and winked. Tk gave her a quick smile that sent her heart in a rush. She quickly turned her head back to Gennai, hoping Tk didn't see her blush. Kari quickly squeezed Matt's hand and smiled when he returned the favor. She returned her gaze to Tk, who was now looking at Gennai intently, and tried to ignore her heart racing faster. Kari looked at Gennai again, this time not looking back to the young man whose heart she stole.
Gennai watched the room with a smile on his face. Watching the Digidestined fool around and laugh was wonderful. He scanned the room, watching Mimi tease Tai and Sora, Izzy and Yolie do something on the computer, Joe and Cody talk about something, Kari and Matt cuddle, Davis and Ken make out (^^ Go Kensuke!! WOO!!), and Tk sit alone in a corner. Gennai's smile quickly became a frown. He sighed and walked over to him, sitting across from his close friend. Tk frowned in concentration as he wrote something in a journal. For a good 10 minutes, Tk continued to write not even noticing the elder in from of him . Gennai contented himself by watching the Chosen write whatever it was he wrote. Tk looked up to Gennai and smiled, and Gennai returned the notion. "Hey Tk!! Come over here! I need some help!!" Tk smiled and ran over to where Mimi continued to make fun of the two. "Sure Meems!" Gennai looked at the notebook Tk left behind. He quickly noticed it was open and turned it to read the contents. 'A poem? He spent all this time writing a poem?' Gennai read it.
"When you reach the sky,
drop me a line,
'cause I just feel like falling down
and when I find
I'm 10 ft from nowhere
I'll remember you and
smile
Don't rescue me
I'm not in need
Just let me fall
Let me fall"
Gennai smiled as he read the poem, and nodded in appreciation. He was good, Gennai would give him that. He looked up at the laughing Tk, who was running away from Mimi, Tai, and Sora. His smile quickly faded, for Tk's fate would soon be decided. He just hoped he'd pass the test that was laid out for him.
Tk sat on Gennai's lawn, and looked at the stars and moon, admiring their beauty. He sighed in content and smiled when he saw Kari standing above his head. "Hey," she smiled, "Hey." The Keeper of Light sat next to her best friend, and looked down at his peaceful face. "What's up?" Tk shrugged. "Nothing really, you?" "Same…" Kari sat with Tk for a few more moments, and looked at her hands nervously. "hey, um…Tk?" He looked at her, and smiled. " Yea?" Kari chewed on her bottom lip. "I have a question I was hoping you could answer.'' He nodded his head, signaling for her to continue. "What…what's love? I mean, how do you know if you're in love?" Tk looked mildly surprised at the question, and lifted Kari's head up gently with his finger. "Why ask me, and not Sora or Mimi?" Kari smiled shyly. "Because you seem so much wiser than they do on this matter…besides, you can give me an answer with out giggling and sighing every five minutes!" Tk laughed and rested his arms on his knees. "Okay, I'll try, okay?" Kari smiled and nodded. ''Well…Love.. Love is a feeling of desire to be with one person so much it hurts. You're willing to do anything for this person, anything in the world. When you close your eyes to sleep, their the last thing you see when sleep, and the first thing you see in the morning, even if they don't know your feelings or return them." Tk's eyes unfocused, and Kari watched his face with fascination. "The funny thing is, you don't mind seeing that image in the least, no matter how they feel about you. Whether they like you, love you as a sibling, or hate you. You feel happy around them, safe…life nothing in the world can go wrong, like nothing can ruin the moment….but something does. Reality comes crashing in without warning. The feeling of total contentment fades away for the moment. That one moment of pure perfection, ruined by reality. Love isn't all about feeling warm, happy, and fuzzy things. Love is about feeling alone, sad, despair, scared. Alone that you have no one. Scared you'll be die alone, with out ever being loved. Despair, that if this happens, what'll come of me? Sad that the person didn't know how deeply you feel. Love is both a wonderful and terrible feeling, but would you give it up? Are you willing to give up such an emotion, an emotion that is so great you both admire and fear it? I know I wouldn't, I wouldn't for the world give it up, You know the saying, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all"? It's so true, but you'll never know until you experience it. The feeling of sadness and anguish when you see them with another, but the happiness of knowing they're happy. And it never fades, never. You can't fall out of love, it's impossible…just like living without air is impossible." Kari looked at Tk in shock. 'Tk's in love?' He smiled over at her. "I think it's time for bed, little one." Kari nodded and headed back towards the house. She entered the room she shared with the other three girls and crawled into her bed. Back outside Tk sighed mournfully before going back inside to get some sleep. That night, both teens had a lot to think about, though some more than others. Kari frowned in her sleep, and quietly whispered. "I'm not, I'm not in love with Tk…"
A/N - ^^ sorry it sucked! That whole thing with Tk and love, I wrote that a while ago. I thought it sounded ok, but tell me what you think of this chapter! ^^ SEE!!! I added Takari, so NYA!!! Hehe. Bai! ^^
