Chapter Two

"TK?", Kari couldn't believe she was hearing his voice. After all, she hadn't heard from him in five years.

*Yeah, it's me Kar. How have you been?*

"Uh...I'm fine. Um TK, it's...uh...not that don't want to talk to you, its just that, well...um...we haven't spoken in five years." Kari said, finding it rather difficult to speak.

*I know.* TK said sadly. *It's just that, well...I'll be back home soon and I wanted to know what things will be like between us when I get back.*

"What do you mean?"

*Well, I don't want things to be awkward between us.*

Kari couldn't help but give a slight chuckle. "Well, TK, you can't expect things to not be awkward...I mean...there's just so much in our past."

*I know. What I really meant was that I still want us to friends. I wouldn't be able to stand being in Odaiba and not talk to you.*

"You haven't talked to me in five years, what difference will it make?" Kari said sounding more bitter than she really wanted to.

There was silence for a few seconds, which felt like a few hours for Kari.

*Kari, I-*

"Listen TK", said Kari, cutting him off, "I didn't really mean for what I said before to sound so bad. I wouldn't want us to never speak again either. It's just gonna be hard for a while."

*I know, I just wanted to make sure I didn't lose you forever. I mean we were...are best friends right?*

"Yeah, we are." She said smiling to herself

*Kar? You are gonna be at my welcome home party right? *

"Yeah, TK, I'll be there. Um...where you now anyway?"

*I'm at the airport. I'm getting about ready to board the plane soon. Listen Kar, I gotta go now I'll talk to ya at the pary, OK?*

"Yeah TK, see ya soon."

*Kari...um...I'm sorry I haven't called you in five years.*

"Yeah, me too" and with that they both hung up.

TK Takaishi smiled as he hung up is cell phone. It sure was great to hear Kari's voice again. It had been so long, too long actually.

He also had a very sad feeling. Kari wasn't just his ex-girlfriend, she was his ex-fiancé, the person he had once wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the girl he had known since he was eight years old. Now she seemed almost like a complete stranger.

last call for the flight from New York to Tokyo, Japan, last call This brought TK back to reality. He had been so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even hear the first call.

'Well, here I go' he thought while boarding the plane, 'back to Odaiba, back to my old life and back to an old friend.

Kari barely got any sleep that night. She was to busy thinking about TK and the conversation they had.

Just as she was about to at least a little bit of sleep, she was startled by the sound of her alarm clock going off. "Oh damn, I forgot to take it off last night" she said while trying to turn it off. "Well I guess there's no point trying to fall asleep now" she mumbled to herself trying to get out of bed after seeing that it was 7:00 a.m.

After taking a shower, Kari was about to prepare some breakfast when the phone rang. 'Who could be calling me this early in the morning?'

"Hello?" she answered.

*Hey Kari.*

"Davis? Why are you calling me so early? I didn't even know you were capable of waking up so early." She asked genuinely shocked that her friend was awake this early.

*I was wondering if you would want to join me for breakfast today?*

"Uh, Davis? Shouldn't you be having breakfast with your wife?"

*Oh she left early this morning to visit her parents. You know I don't get along with her parents. I never knew how awful in-laws could be.* he said while laughing. *So, breakfast of not?*

"Sure, at the diner across from your place?"

*Yep, see you in 15 minutes?

"Sure, see ya." After talking with Davis, Kari went to her car and drove to the diner.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Kari and Davis had just finished eating their breakfast and were now just talking in their booth, waiting for the waitress to bring them the bill.

"So how's Mia?" Kari asked him. "Oh she fine. She went to her parents' house because her younger brother was coming from college to visit.

Mia is Davis's wife. They had been married for almost a year now. After getting over his crush on Kari in their junior year of college, he met Mia and instantly fell in love with her. Kari was happy for him because she knew he deserved someone special, and Mia was definitely that someone.

"So how are ya gonna handle being around TK again?" Davis asked Kari. "Why does everyone keep asking me that?" asked Kari. "Because we know how close you and TK used to be." Davis replied. "Well it's gonna be hard." Kari stated.

Davis didn't say anything more about the subject. He just hoped that his friend would be OK.
