Takari and Taito! ~

"Tai . . . ?"

"Yes Kari?"

"What will I do without Davis . . . ?"

"You'll be fine, but it might be a while though."

Kari sighed in pain, as she cried into her pale white hands. She
looked into the face of the one she loved, cold and still, not a
movement within him. Kari turned around and looked out the
still, cold, moonlit night.

"I hope he is relived of his problems," Kari thought as she felt
her tears drop unto her beloved's face, covered in blood, being
relived of pain and sorrow.

"I love you Davis . . . " she whispered. "I LOVE YOU DAVIS!" she
screamed.

"She's devastated . . . " Tai thought, "I thought she'd be
depressed . . . but . . . she's destroyed."

"Tai . . . I'm so lonely . . . I want to go with him . . . I need to
go with him . . . " Kari said, then remembered what Davis told
her.

~Flashback~

"Davis . . . promise me something . . . "

"What is it Kari?"

"Promise me . . . that if I die, you will be with someone,
because I want you to be happy."

"Kari . . . I want you to do the same for me."

"Sure thing Davis"

~End Flashback~

"I should keep his promise . . . and my promise . . . I will stay
around, and find someone to love . . . " Kari thought.

"Tai, scratch that idea, I'm going to call TK!"

"Ok . . . " Tai replied in a worried way.

Kari sat Davis' body to the cold, blood-covered floor and grabbed
a pillow for his head, "Sweet dreams . . . Dai-chan" she
whispered as she gave the body one last, soft, delicate kiss.

Kari began to walk down the dark corridor, thinking of what had
happened an hour or so ago. "Why did I let him get in front of
me . . . ? He deserves to live . . . they were after me . . . but
he . . . saved my life . . . "

Kari pulls her camera off her neck and looks at it, "Davis and
Kari Forever . . . I wish we were forever . . . "

Tai stares at the body of Davis, he'd never seen a dead body
before, except on TV, where he knew that it was fake.

"Davis . . . you saved my sister's life . . . how can I ever repay
you . . . "

As these words were said, something cold, yet peaceful, touched
his arms, "Tai . . . "

"What? Who is it?"

"It's Davis . . . " He was white, a ghost, but in a white robe,
looking down on Tai, "Keep my spirit alive in your heart and in
Kari's . . . "


"Davis . . . what about Kari . . . ?"

"I'll talk to her . . . " Davis flew around the wall and tapped her
on the shoulder, giving her a very warm, fuzzy feeling inside her
body.

"Davis . . . is that you?"

"Yes it is Kari-chan"

Kari began to cry again as she went to sit on the couch.

"What were you saying . . . as you passed on?"

"That . . . you should go be with TK. I may not like it much, but
I want you to be happy, nothing satisfies me more than for you
to be as happy as you possibly can be."

"Davis, don't you want to come and be with me?"

"Yes I do, but unfortunately, I can't."

"I understand . . . but . . . can I have one . . . final kiss?"

Davis wrapped his arms around Kari, hoping she'd feel the love
he's bringing to her.

"You'll only feel the heat from me."

Davis let his crisp, bitter lips touch the Child of Light's gentle,
pain-reliving lips, they shared an exhilarating kiss between the
two of them, held each other's hands, knowing that they love
each other, and that this, just might be their last time together.

"I'm going to say . . . what I was going to say . . . before . . . I
passed away . . . "

"What?"

"Will, you marry me?"

Kari began to lose balance, "Was he really going to ask me?" Kari
thought as she began to have tears drip down her pale face, in
shock.

"Yes I will" Kari smiled

Davis sensed she was acting, because she knew they'd never be
together.

"I wish we could be together, Kari"

"Me too . . . " Kari sighed

"I'll always watch over you and protect you, oh, could you take
care of Veemon for me, the poor dude."

"Ok Davis," she giggled, "Will we meet again?"

"I'll hope so" Davis gave one of those "100 watt" smiles.

Kari grabbed his hand, "Kari and Davis Forever!"

"Yep, Forever!" Davis then started back toward's Tai, "Come, to
say goodbye . . . "

Kari nodded and followed Davis' pale, ghost body, crying. She
didn't want him to leave her. He'd leave her all alone.

"Davis . . . come back someday for me."

"I will baby"

Davis blew her a kiss as he began to fade.

"I'll always be with you . . . "

He was gone, only the cold, bloody body remained. Kari smiled
because she had the memories they had together within her.

"We'll be together" she thought as she looked at Davis' human
body.

"Well . . . I know she's more happy than she was before . . . "
Tai thought as he got his D-Terminal and wrote

-The 10th Digidestined has passed away, if you haven't heard
already. It's Davis. He died . . . saving Kari's life. Come over
A.S.A.P.! -

Tai sent it off and closed his D-Terminal.

"Kari . . . we're having a memorial, hopefully, everyone can
come."

"Except TK . . . "

"And Matt" Tai thought as he looked at the bullet on the floor
that had something on it, "Kari . . . look at the bullet . . . "

The bullet had something small written on it

-You think this is the only one . . . HA-

"Oh my god . . . " Kari said as she read what it had on there,
"THEY'RE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE ELSE!"

Kari looked out the window once again, just staring, hoping to
find her beloved Davis, "We are forever Davis," she thought. Just
like she had done many times that night, she cried.

"I love you Davis" she whispered as she let her breath hit the
window. She wrote something.

-Our love is forever *heart* Dai-chan-

Kari sighed, she knew Davis was gone. She turned around, "Yeah
. . . he's gone . . . " she thought as her faced began frown more.
Kari then looked at the still body, lighted by the moon.

While looking out the window, she discovered that a truck pulled
up to the apartment building and two people got out, and then
Kari screamed in joy.

"IT'S TK!"

Kari ran through the apartment and jumped over the busted
door, "TK! TK! TK!"

"Is that Kari?" TK asked himself as he looked up, "KARI!"

TK dropped his bags and ran toward Kari, "HIKARI-CHAN!"

TK took his love into his arms and kissed her forehead.

"I heard . . . about Davis . . . I'm sorry to hear, but one
question . . . what happened?"

"I don't know . . . but . . . he saved my life . . . "

TK just held her, "I love you"

"I'm sorry for being so rude the last time we talked . . . "

"It's okay Hikari, I love you" TK stared into her chocolate eyes
which highly resembled Tai's.

"I know you are lonely, I can understand . . . " TK said, "I felt the
exact same way . . . when you . . . refused me. That's it the
past though" TK smiled, "We're together, itsumo"

"Yeah . . . " Kari sighed, "Maybe . . . " she thought as she looked
into TK's crystal blue eyes, "How they sparkle in the moonlight"
Kari thought. The thought of Davis dying replayed in her mind
until she remembered that TK was there for her, just like Davis.

"Aishiteru, Takeru" Kari said as she hugged him.

TK smiled as he finally felt loved again, "Aishiteru, Hikari-chan"

"Hikari-chan . . . " Kari said as she sighed. "I miss Davis . . . "
Kari said as she cried on TK's shoulder.

"I'm here for you, itsumo itsudemo" TK looked down at her, "I
love you, always forever," he whispered.

Kari looked up at him, her eyes twinkling as she cried, "Really?"

"Why wouldn't I? I've always admired you. Caring for others,
helping them, why shouldn't I love you?"

"TK . . . " Kari said as she looked up at him and put her arms
around his neck as tears streamed down her cheeks, "That . . .
was so sweet"

"Let me give you a lift!" TK turned around and motioned Kari to
get on his back, "Hang on tight Kari!"

Kari looked at him and smiled as she got on his back. Then she
put her arms around his neck so as not to fall off.

TK began to run up stairs and down the halls of the apartment
building, giving Kari a piggyback ride.

"WEE" Kari screamed as she remembered the piggyback ride she
got from TK.

~Flashback~

"Happy 9th birthday Kari!" the other seven Digidestined yelled as
they clapped and whistled.

"Kari, come here" TK said as he put his hat back on his head,
"Want a piggyback ride?" TK smiled.

"YAY!" Kari hopped on TK's back.

TK ran around the place with Kari on his back, and both were
happily smiling and laughing.

~End Flashback~

"Yeah . . . those were the times . . . " Kari thought as she
arrived at their door.

"Time to get off" TK said as Kari shook out of her thoughts. Kari
hopped off of his back and guided him inside.

***

"TAI!" Matt screamed from his truck as he began to run up the
stairs. Faster and faster. As he got to the Kamiya's apartment, he
gasped for air.

"Tai!" Matt said as he ran through the door.

"Matt?" Tai thought, "MATT!" he shouted as he saw Matt come
through the bedroom door.

"I missed you Tai-chan" Matt said as he kissed Tai's forehead.

"I missed you to Yama" Tai said as he kissed Matt back.

"I love you" they both said to each other as they sat on the floor
next to Davis' body.

"Is that him?"

"Yes . . . It's depressing . . . to see him here . . . like this" Tai
said as he set his digivice next to Davis.

"He's so . . . cold looking . . . " Matt added as he looked into
Tai's cocoa eyes, which seemed full of pain. He admired the eyes,
like two pure white pearls. "Ahh . . . "

"Matt? Snap out of it!"

"What? Uhh . . . heh"

TK and Kari run in, wondering what Tai and Matt are cooking
(wink wink ^_~)

"Hey Tai" TK said as he walked toward the body, "So . . . that's
him . . . ?"

"Yeah" Kari replied as she felt a few tears steam down her eyes,
knowing that he was gone, forever.

"Thing is . . . " Matt said as rubbed his chin, "why would the
person come and want to kill Kari?"

"I'd like to know that too . . . " Tai sighed, "Yet, if it wasn't for
him staying the night, even if it was unauthorized, Kari would be
dead."

Tai's cheeks became full of small tears that streamed down his
face. He's felt like this many times.

~Flashback~

(Tai's POV)

"I just have to save her! It's my fault she's sick . . . If she didn't
have to come to the DigiWorld . . . " I say.


"Tai, you know she had to, it's not like she had the choice!"

"I WANT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR HER OK?!" Tai grabbed Izzy
by his shirt, gripping tightly.

(End Tai's POV)

~End Flashback~

Tai stared into Matt's sapphire eyes which met his chocolate
ones. Matt and Tai drew closer together, falling into each other's
trances.

No sooner that they fell into each other's eyes, they were
passionately kissing on the wall. Tai was held against the wall
while Matt was blocking him from escaping.

They were in their own world, meanwhile, Kari and TK were
kissing and hugging each other, waiting for the other
Digidestined.

"TK, I thought that you wouldn't come to the memorial"

"I never got the message" then something in his and Matt's
pockets began to beep. Then they opened their D-Terminals that
showed an e-mail button, and they both clicked it reveling a
message.

-The 10th Digidestined has passed away, if you haven't heard
already. It's Davis. He died . . . saving Kari's life. Come over
A.S.A.P.! -

"I guess I got it . . . now" They both said at the same time.

"Hehe" Kari giggled as she hung her arms on TK.

"Are you going to be ok Kari?" TK asked as he put his arm
around her waist. Then he moved the other down her waist,
ending at her leg.

Kari looked into TK's eyes, just like she would do to Davis. As
she looked into his eyes she was hoping and waiting for the day
that Davis might finally return, "I hope that you are in peace, my
friend"
