Chapter 1
Roommates
The heat increased to it's top. The heat itself formed a dark and heavy cloud, blinding those who wish to see and breathed the light. Sweat lingered down the flesh. Muscles ached and grew tired. Above to the ceilings, light dimmed and flicked. The light slowly faded and came alive, but faded again. The metal walls were cold to the touch. From a distance, fading clangs of metal on metal floor were made as someone ran to a corner. The figure was dressed in black. They stood in place, did not dare move. The figure stood his ground, breathing. He took a final breath, stole a glance behind where he stood, and against his back to the wall, he sprinted across an opening to another wall. Once there, T.K laid his back against the cold metal wall. Sweat ran down his forehead to his side. T.K. quickly held his breath, listening for any movement. He heard someone running, but was too far away to know if it was the team or the enemy. Breathing again, T.K. checked his ammo. The laser gun had 20% ammo left, which only ten shots left. T.K checked his belt. He had two megabombs left. Suddenly, shots were being fired. T.K. aimed his laser gun to his left. The laser fires were too far. The fires stopped.
"Can everyone hear me? Report the status." Tai's voice radioed in.
T.K. lowered his gun, then flipped what was look like a microphone from his helmet.
"T.K. here."
"I'm here too." Kari voiced in.
"We're here too." Yolie and Ken reported.
Silence.
"That's it? Sora?…Matt?…Joe?…Izzy?…Mimi?…Davis?…Cody?…Okay…What's the status?"
"They shot Sora and Izzy." Yolie sadly said.
Silence.
T.K. lowered his head, shaking it.
"Cody's down too." Kari reported.
"Three down then." Tai signed, his voice changed.
"Hey, sorry if we're late. Mimi and I had company, but he's down." Matt reported in.
"What's the status for you?" Tai questioned.
"Joe's down." Mimi said.
"Hey guys. Wha's up?" Davis answered in.
"Tai, do we regroup?"
"No, we'll be a big target for them. It's better to be alone or with two. Davis, T.K., did you find that sniper?"
"No, I'm still looking for him."
"Same here."
"Well look faster. I'm still looking for that leader. Okay everyone, advance and keep your heads down." Tai told the others.
"Right."
T.K. flipped back the microphone in place. The fog grew darker. T.K. lowered his helmet glass over his eyes and press a button on his side helmet, which made the area clear for T.K. to see. Tai said to find that sniper fast or all of them were doom. Sora, Izzy, Joe, and Cody were down. Maybe because of that sniper. Breathing hard, T.K. had a crazy idea, but he had to do it. There was only one sniper on each team. Izzy was the sniper in their team, but the enemy somehow got to him. Joe was the medicate officer and Cody was assigned to protect him, but they were down. Sora was like them, foot soldiers. But she was also down. T.K. place his weapon back on the thigh belt. With his back against the wall, T.K. figured the sniper was behind him. T.K heard more laser being fired, but soon stopped. Anything was silence again, expect for the fading steps as soldiers ran. The enemy sniper should be aiming elsewhere from T.K.
"T.K." T.K. flipped the microphone on.
"Davis? Where are you?"
"To your right."
T.K. turned his head right and as corrected, found Davis. Having his back to the cold wall.
"Davis, I'm going do something crazy and I need you-"
"Keep Kari if you get shot?" Davis smirked.
"No you idiot…I'm going to run up to that platform and I need you to watch those buildings to find that sniper, okay?"
"Wha?"
"T.K., that's suicide." Kari spoke up.
"T.K., don't do. That's an order." Tai yelled.
"Have to." T.K. flipped back the microphone and turning off the call, cutting the talk with the others.
T.K. looked to Davis. Davis gave him a thumbs up, weapon in hand. T.K. nodded. Sweat ran down his flesh. Breathing, T.K. glanced left to right. T.K. held his breath as he ran to the center of the platform. T.K. counted to three. Then he tossed himself to a side when a shot was fired. Rounding across the floor, T.K brought himself up and ran to Davis. Shots were being fired as T.K. ran to safety.
"You are one lucky dick." Davis snapped T.K. on the back.
T.K. grinned, catching his breath.
"Did you see where the shot came from?" T.K. asked with his weapon in hand.
"Over there, at that building."
"Let's go."
T.K. and Davis ran from one wall to another. Once they reached the building, T.K. lead Davis upstairs. A hall was presented to the two. Doors were shattered around the long hall. T.K checked the left side, while Davis checked the right side of the hall. They checked around the rooms. Davis gestured T.K. to a door that was closed. The door stood between them. Davis nodded. T.K. gathered his strength and then kicked the door open. The sniper turned around with his weapon. T.K. and Davis shot him. The two left and T.K. called the others.
"The sniper's down."
"Good job. Everyone, charge and take out the enemy."
"Right."
T.K. and Davis ran out the building and into the field of walls. Fires can be heard around the walls. T.K and Davis reached to Kari as she took out an enemy.
Kari smiled, "Hey, great job. Who deserves the reward?"
"Right here. It wasn't much, but someone had to do it." Davis stepped up to Kari with a grin.
T.K. rolled his eyes, "Yeah Davis, it was all your idea." He added sarcastically.
Kari smiled to the boys. Soon the rest of the group joined the T.K., Davis, and Kari was at. Then the lights overhead brighten up. The group lowered their weapons.
"Four down and eight still living. That's not bad."
Sora, Izzy, Joe, and Cody joined the group. The digidestineds removed the armor they had on them and passed the line for the same game. People were waiting to have their turn to join the game.
"I can't believe I got shot again." Joe laughed.
"You? I was the sniper. And the enemy got to me."
The group came out of the virtue-reality arcade game room.
"Thanks for playing." Some guy in blue said to the group as they left to the parking lot.
"I don't know about you guys, but I think I was too in to the game." T.K laughed.
"I didn't really care if I got shot or not. You guys are too weird." Mimi laughed.
"Well, you didn't have to worry about getting shot…I would take the shot for you." Matt smiled, hugging her to him.
"That's so sweet, Matt." Mimi blushed, giving Matt a kiss on the cheek.
"I think we're getting better at it." Yolie smiled.
"Yeah, I think at the five hundredth time playing, we're becoming pros."
"Plus the experience at the digiworld."
"Hey, you guys up for pizza?" Tai asked.
~o~
The morning sun poured down the window to the face of a blonde by the name of T.K. An alarm set off, causing the blonde to moan. T.K. flung his arm around and hit the snooze button. Five minutes later the alarm set off. T.K. slowly sat up. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, T.K. hit the snooze again. He scratched his bare muscular chest after he yawned. He stood up and walked out to the kitchen. Davis sat at the kitchen table, munching on some toast and reading the comics. He looked up and gave a little wave before returning to the comics. Kari stood by the stove, cooking some eggs and bacon. An apron around her small waist, Kari turned and smiled to the blonde. T.K. gave a kiss on her cheek before taking a sit across from Davis.
"Good morning." Kari greeted.
"Morning. Hmm…What's cooking?"
"Egg and Bacon. Davis, could you pop in some toast for T.K.?"
Davis nodded. Not taking his eyes from the comics, he grabbed two sliced breads and placed them in the toaster. T.K. poured himself orange juice. Davis took a look to his watch and stood up.
"I have to go. I need to reschedule for classes at Odaiba College before everybody takes all the classes and there's nothing left," Davis grabbed his blue jacket. He kissed Kari on the cheek. "Thanks for breakfast, Kari." He waved to T.K. "I have my cell phone, call if you need to."
"Bye." T.K. placed butter on his hot toast.
"I can get use to this." Kari giggled as she pointed to both her cheeks where T.K. and Davis had kissed her at.
Rolling his eyes, T.K. took a bite from his toast. Two years passed since T.K., Davis, and Kari moved in together. They thought it would be good to live closer to college and help out to paid the rent. When they were looking at the apartment for the first time, the landlord was asked if they were going to live with each other.
*flashback*
The young group glanced at each other and Kari answered.
"Yeah."
The landlord became angry, "I'm sorry, but I can't offer you the apartment."
"Hey, wait a minute. You can't do that. That's-"
"I don't care. If you don't like it then go to another complex."
The others didn't want to the judge for this stupid thing. Davis had a plan. He grabbed and brought his arm around Kari's shoulder and hugged her to him.
He whispered in her ear, 'Play along.'
T.K. was dumbfounded.
"You got it all wrong. This is my wife." Then Davis kissed Kari fully on the mouth.
T.K.'s jaw dropped.
Davis stopped, "And this is my brother." Pointing at a bewildered T.K.
The landlord gazed at them skeptical. The others sweatdropped. Then the old man led the younger teens to sign papers to the apartment. Once everything was finished and the small group entered their apartment, Kari punched Davis in the stomach.
"Don't you ever do that again!" Kari yelled to the fallen Davis.
Kari picked a room and retreated inside. T.K. sweatdropped. Davis stood up coughing.
"I got the apartment, didn't I?"
T.K. shook his head, smiling.
*flashback end*
T.K. found himself smiling to the thought. Kari didn't talk to Davis for a week. Plus, Kari didn't talk with T.K. either. He asked 'why'. She said 'You should have said that I was your wife.' Then she shut the door in his face. T.K. and Kari use to play games on people thinking they were married to get what they want. It had to stop because their parent thought it wasn't right to play games with people. But they only used it for important matters. Classes were going to start and their summer jobs were coming to an end. They saved up enough cash for school, rent, and food. Their apartment was a good size with three rooms for each teen. T.K. thanked for breakfast and took his shower. Kari smiled and washed dishes before she turned on the TV. Once finished, T.K dressed and took a sit beside Kari.
"So, what you wanna do?" Kari passed T.K. the remote.
"Dunno, what you wanna do?"
"I asked you first." Kari smiled.
"Rent movies?"
"That's what we did yesterday. Oh…Davis said that there's a party at his friends' place. Wanna go?"
T.K. frowned, "You want to?"
"Yeah, it's sounds like fun."
"…I don't know…" T.K. closed his eyes as he scratch his head with one finger.
Kari hooked her arm with his, "Please?"
"Well, Okay. Sounds great."
~o~
"Anyways, she then trips and grabbed his groin without knowing it, you know? For support…" Some teen boy telling his friends his story, who surrounded him, laughing. Kari smiled bewildered. Kari and T.K. sat near the group waiting for Davis to return. Fifty teens were dancing, chatting, eating, and playing games in a small apartment. Kari and T.K. wondered if with fifty teens in a small apartment was possible. Davis came back with punch. The two smiled their thanks and took his sit beside Kari.
"Having fun?!" Davis yelled over the loud music.
"Yeah, I am! Dunno about T.K! Some drunken chick was flirting with him and she almost got into his pants. Literally! And he kept snapping her hand away! It was fricken funny!" Kari laughed.
T.K. blushed.
Davis laughed.
Time passed. Davis talked with his friends and drank more punch. Kari flirted innocently and talked with friends. T.K. sat on the couch, watching crazy teens playing games. The party started at eight at night and it was almost twelve. T.K. called Kari over, telling her they should be heading back. She nodded.
"Where's Davis!?"
T.K. scanned around the room and found no Davis. Suddenly someone brought their arm around T.K.'s shoulder. The blonde turned and found Davis smiling at him strangely.
"Don't I know you? ~hic~" Davis questioned.
Kari sweatdropped.
"Come on, Davis, we're going home!"
"Home? I share a house with you? ~hic~"
T.K guide a drunken Davis to the door with Kari behind them. Kari helped T.K. place Davis in the back seat of his dark blue Saturn Vue. Kari took a seat up front as T.K. fasten Davis' belt and started the car. T.K. exited the large parking lot and headed to the streets.
"Have fun at the party?" T.K. asked as he took a turn.
"Hmm, partly. It was okay in the beginning, but later in the end everyone was getting drunk."
Davis stirred and changed his position as he responded with an intelligent frame. T.K. and Kari stole a glance to the sleep beauty. A dark figure lay on the road.
"T.K. LOOK OUT!" Kari shouted as she turned back on the road.
T.K. smashed the brakes hard. The car came to a halt. Davis made contact with Kari's seat with his face. When the car stopped, only their hearts can be heard, and Davis' snoring, T.K. and Kari sat in the car. Not knowing what to do, T.K. opened on the door and stepped out. He came around to the front of the car. He saw someone laying on the ground. Kari took a peeked with T.K. and also saw the figure.
"Is he okay?" Kari whispered.
"Dunno." T.K. flipped the figure over.
The figure was a teen about the same age with T.K. and Kari. His light blue hair was plastered to his face and neck. His skin was pale and cut was shown on his upper cheek. T.K. checked his pulse.
"He's alive."
"What do we do with him?"
"The hospital's too far…We'll take him to our place, then to the hospital next thing in the morning." T.K. pulled the figure until he could carry him to the car.
He placed him next to Davis and fastened his belt. Once T.K. parked in a space of the apartment complex, the two pulled out the other two from the back seat. Kari woke Davis and helped him to the apartment and into his room. T.K. carried the teen to the couch. He removed the wet clothes leaving the stranger's boxers and placing a warm blanket over the teen. T.K. headed to the restroom, grabbing a first aid, which Joe had given to them on the unpacking of the apartment, when he heard a smack come from Davis' room. T.K. cleaned the teen's cut when Kari came to the living room with an annoying face. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"What happened?" T.K. glanced at Kari as she took a seat on a inclining chair.
"Davis' not knowing mind thought he was going to be lucky this night. And so I smacked him with the dictionary." Kari had a vein pop.
"The hard cover one?"
"Yep."
"Oww…that's going to leave a mark."
"So, how's the guy?"
"He's okay."
"What do we do now?"
"Sleep. Until he comes to in the morning."
So? How was it? Good? Bad? Okay? Please R&R. Thank you…Oh, give me a few days to finish 'Filling the Space'. I will finish it. Please don't doubt me. I will be careful to watch both sides of the road when I'm crossing. ^_^;
