All the Little Things
By Hannio
Chapter Five
I'm not giving up without a fight
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters mentioned except Rhea
AUTHOR NOTE: I personally believe that under all the sweetness and light, Kari is a normal girl and so she will have a bitchy streak in her, any girl who says they don't have one, is lying. Kari wants Tk, end of story and she's going to get him. End of story, but she needs a plan and it won't be nice cause she's gonna try and break TK and Rhea up.
Anyway bare that in mind when you read this chapter, hope you enjoy it, I'll see how fast I can put the next chapter up for you.
So Tai and Yamato had been right, TK did have a girlfriend and it was Rhea. I tried to breathe deeply but it was hard when every breathe I took felt as if it was moving shards of my heart around, every breathe brought pain to me. Yolie had always known as I felt so she was trying to comfort me by called TK every name under the sun, but we both knew deep inside that he didn't deserve it.
I watched the ground and fought against the tears I was desperate to cry. I wanted to shake him and scream, tell him what a fool he was but it wouldn't do any good. I just had to admit to myself that TK belonged to Rhea not me like I had always hoped he would be.
"You're giving up aren't you?" Yolie's voice suddenly came into my consciousness. I looked up and blinked at her
"What?" I said slightly harshly, she sent me an impatient look; I could almost see her thoughts on her face and felt a stab of guilt. She was spending her time trying to make me feel better and all I did was ignore her caught up in my own thoughts and feelings. She spoke again her voice using the same slight harshness as mine had just done
"I said you're gonna give up TK aren't you just like that" I turned to her in frustration making sure I kept my voice quiet
"What do you want me to do, he has a girlfriend, remember the pretty exchange student"
"She isn't that pretty" Yolie said automatically, I shot her what must have been a yeah-right look because she looked guilty and shrugged her shoulder
"You've liked TK for how long now Kari?" she questioned I frowned as I tried to place it properly
"I guess a year maybe a year and a half" Yolie nodded her head at me
"Exactly so you saw him first" I shook my head
"Even if I did do something it's not as if TK will care, he isn't exactly over the moon about me" Yolie turned to me and stared open mouthed, I shifted uncomfortably under the look "What?" I said finally in a defensive tone
"You wanna run that one statement you just made past me again, I'm not sure whether I heard it correctly"
"I said TK doesn't feel the same way" Yolie nodded her head and studied the floor before looking back up at me
"See that's what I thought you said" she took a deep breath and looked at me through her brown eyes "You crazy" she announced. I blinked in surprise, normally when she gave me that look she went off on one just as Davis always did when he believed passionately in something
"Excuse me?" I said now it was my turn to wonder whether or not I had heard Yolie right
"I said you're crazy" I held my hand out in front of me
"Why's that?" I demanded, she gave me an extra long look to make sure she had my full attention. Needless to say she did.
"TK was mad about you" she said, I stared at her my eyes widening as I took in what she said
"No he wasn't" I said, she sighed
"Kari, you probably couldn't see it, TK did everything for you, I mean didn't he go with you to New York that summer when the Willis thing happened even though he wasn't going to, he helps you with your homework, he always dropped everything when you call and even left early on his time with Yamato because you were worried about something, are you beginning to see it" I gave a hitched breathe as tears filled my eyes. She was right, now I thought about, TK did so much for me that not even Davis did and yet at the time I didn't even appreciate it, I spent all my time flirting with Davis to make him jealous then to realize that he liked me all a long "I'm sorry to tell you like that" she said her voice softening as she caught a glimpse of my face "But I thought you should know after you said that" I nodded
"I know" was all I could reply
"TK thought you weren't interested
which was why he ended up with
Rhea, but you have to fight for him if you want him, show him that yes you do
care for him more than a friend and see what happens"
"I don't want any bother with Rhea though" I said, Yolie shrugged
"Fuck Rhea girl, she'll be gone at the end of the year and then TK if he still with her will be upset, you can help him earlier out of that pain" I looked up and at Tk, he was laughing at something Cody was saying to him, while Patamon sat on his head looking adoringly at his best friend. I glanced down. It was Rhea who had brought the spark back to TK, made him happier and confident, could I make him lose that just because I wanted him? I bit my lip as I thought about it; I could guarantee that I could make him happy but as happy as she did. I frowned, TK had always been mine pretty much, we were best friends, out Digimon belonged together. There was no secret TK had from me until now. Since Rhea came alone TK had been growing more distant from me and was beginning to keep secrets. I didn't like that
"You don't have to be obvious," Yolie pointed out to me
"She's causing trouble between us," I said calmly. Yolie looked at me with a questioning look. I went on to elaborate "TK is growing away from me and it's her thought, you're right she needs to go" Yolie nodded
"Nicely though" she cautioned and I nodded
"I hold the crest of light, it has to be nice" Yolie frowned
"Now all we need is a plan" I smiled slightly at her,
"I thought of one" I remarked "Thanks Yolie" she nodded
"Well you're my best friend I don't like seeing you upset by anyone, not even Tk" I nodded
"I'll need you help" I announced she looked at me
"Fine by me what's the plan" I smiled
"It's this"
Hope you liked it and please review it. No flames though
