By HannioChapter Two
Thoughts and feelingsDISCLAIMER: The only character I own in this story is Ari is mentioned once and of course Rhea.
AUTHOR NOTES: Thanks ti everyone who reviewed this story for me and got me up to 7 reviews for one chapter, I really appreciate it. Here it is Chapter Two, I'm not sure how long it will go on for because I've got different ideas for it all and I torn between two plotlines but it will be worth it in the end. Again just to remind you this chapter is dine through Kari's eyes again, the next chapter will be through TK's ok? Good then I hope you enjoy the chapter.
He smiled at me as soon as his blue eyes met mine, my heart stopped for a split second then started pounding painfully against my chest, it was so loud that I'm surprised that Davis didn't turn round and comment but he was chatting to someone off the junior soccer team. I took TK in just I like I had done every day since a year ago when everything changed for me. He looked as good as ever, skin was still perfect, he didn't have a hat on today so his blond hair was slightly mussed up probably due to the wind outside, but the eyes directed at me still sparkled in the light that was strictly Takeru Takashi's.
I smiled back at him and waved my hand at him feeling my cheeks turn what was probably a lovely shade of rosy pink.
"You look more cheerful" a voice said breaking me out of my thoughts, I took my eyes away from TK to look at Davis to see him grinning at me, he conversation had obviously ended "Good thing to, I was getting really worried about you" I smiled at him and shrugged my shoulders. See this is the effect that one little smile from TK can have on me. If I feel down I immediately turn cheerful, I can't really explain it though I've tried several times before to. I'm a photographer not a writer, if it was something physical then yeah I could take a picture and show you exactly what I meant but it isn't and so I can't. TK could though, I mean after all English especially the creative part is his best subject because he always made the characters and plot seem realistic, well that's what the teacher said. While all of this was whizzing round my mind, I laughed out loud at Davis's comments
"It's warmer in here" I said he grinned at that and we smiled at each other, the smile of complete friendship then we went out separate ways, he sat at the front not his choice but it's where Ken sat so that was good enough for him, i sat in the middle of the room. I was in such a good mood that I almost forgot the little bit of info that Taichi passed onto me. Almost.
As I sat down in my usual seat next to my friend Ari, who I had a few lessons with, Rhea walked in. I looked at her properly for the first time. She wasn't just an exchange student from America anymore; no she was much more now. She was the one who was with the guy I loved. I felt jealousy and anger buildup and I have to admit I was pretty shocked at these emotions racing through me, I rarely got angry and jealous? I tried to control it though, losing my temper would accomplish anything. I rested my hand on my cheek as I continued to stare at her. Why did she have to be so pretty? Why couldn't she have been normal looking, she was tall and slim but curvy at the same time, where was any justice in that, she should have been one or another not both though. Her hair came to the half way down her back in a cascade of dark curls, perfectly done to look wild and sexy, I gave a thought to my hair and frowned, definitely not wild and sexy. Her face was perfect and she even looked like she was bloody kind and a good laugh as well. Dark green eyes the colour of pines sparkled at TK, he grinned back looker brighter as he sat up straighter. God I hated her. I blinked at that thought and sat up straighter myself TK temporally forgotten. Where had a thought like that come from. I'm Hikari Yagami I'm the child of light I don't think I'm meant to hate anyone, I haven't before I even gave Ken a chance when he was the Kaiser. I shook my head
"Kari" I jumped and looked up to see Ken Ichijouji looking at me
"Hi Ken" I said noticing that my voice tone had dropped again since I sat down.
"Are you ok? You're looking at the new girl as if you'd want to kill her then dispose of the remains" Kari frowned
"Your imagination is in overtime" she commented lightly. He remained silent for a few seconds then spoke quietly
"As much as in hate to say it to you Kari, the situation you're in, is completely your own fault
"Huh" I replied dumbly unable to take in what he just said to me
"You've had every opportunity to tell TK how you felt and every time you placed it off, now if the signs are right, TK has found someone else and you seem jealous" I glanced at TK to see Rhea ruffle his soft hair while he grinned at he trying to duck away, I looked away, I had seen Tai do the same thing to Yamato the previous night, tears tickled my eyes, I controlled it and looked up into steady violet eyes, torn between telling him that he was wrong and to mind his own business in future, but half of me wanted to throw my arms around him, burst into tears and tell him everything. Luckily I was saved from either choice by the teacher entering, forcing Ken to rush to his seat.
I don't know how I managed it but I was able to actually pay attention during the lesson and even get some of the work done but the lesson went quickly for once and once it was over and people were packing away that when he approached me
"Hi Kari" he said standing by my desk, kindness radiated out of his voice but as much as I loved that voice I wished it could be filled with love like when he spoke to or about Yamato.
"Hey TK" I replied keeping my voice cheerful and praying that he wasn't in a very perceptive mood. Little hope there after all it was TK, his eyes searched my face and he frowned
"Are you ok?" he queried, I nodded
"I just didn't sleep to well" he looked unconvinced but remained silent "what did you do last night?" I asked breaking that damn silence, I could almost see the conclusion about what was really wrong with me racing through his mind. "I tried ringing you but your mum said you were out" he nodded
"I went to the cinema" he said, I took in his clothes for the first time and felt my eyes widen, he was wearing different clothes, white adidas trainers were on his feet, he wore navy blue jeans that had a faded look to them, his t-shirt was white and had the logo of his brother band on it, he had a light black jacket on and a black cap was shoved into the back pocket. He looked damn good today and I wasn't the only one who noticed either. I wonder if it was Rhea who convinced him to wear it, as I stood their struggling I heard a voice call to me
"Let's go Kari" I looked up to see Davis and Ken waiting for me, for a second I could of cried, whatever anyone else said was wrong these two were great friends to me when I need them, I turned to TK who was watching me with a worried look
"See you later" I said and he nodded
"Yeah you will" I forced myself to turn then and walked up to the two waiting for me, grateful for the hand Ken put on my elbow as a sign of comfort and left the room feeling eyes burning into me as I did.
There you go I hope you enjoyed it, if Kari isn't as you expect then just remember the fact that it's her thoughts and she's in love with the guy and any girl will know that if you think something is going on then you're not exactly a nice person even if you are normally. Please Review but no flames. Thanks.
