Hope's Return Home
Chapter Three
TK Takaishi sat in his on the plane looking out the window. He tried his best to fall asleep, but he was too anxious about returning to Odaiba. It had been so long since he had seen all of his friends. He couldn't wait to hang out with all of them again, especially Matt.
TK missed his brother a lot. The last time he saw him was at Matt and Sora's wedding just before TK had left for New York. Now they had a son that TK had never even seen. Sure TK had many opportunities to visit his family, he just didn't know what it would be like to be home again, so he just never went back.
'Man what a fool I've been', TK thought, 'I could have a least visited them a few times in the last five years'. Now he would just have to try and fit in with them again.
During his flight, TK wondered how much his friends had changed. He couldn't imagine Davis ever changing and becoming more mature. TK knew that Davis had gotten married, he just couldn't go to the wedding because he had finals at NYU at the same time as the wedding.
TK thought about his other friends too. He wondered if Yolie and Ken were still great together or if Cody had gotten any...well...taller. He figured Tai would still be the same soccer loving fanatic and that Joe would still be paranoid and he knew for sure that Izzy still loved computers because Izzy just won't be Izzy if he didn't. TK couldn't help but smile at the thought of Mimi dragging Sora around shopping in just about every store in Odaiba. Yep, he sure missed his friends.
Then there was Kari. TK definitely thought about her a lot. He wondered if she was happy, if she had a boyfriend and if her life was better now that he wasn't in it. He knew it would be difficult being around her again. It would bring back a lot of memories for them both, memories he had tried to forget because it hurt too much to think about them.
TK looked at his watch. He would be landing in about an hour and a half. He had to prepare himself for what was to come when he saw his friends again, when he saw Kari again.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kari was at her apartment now and she was starting to get ready to go to Matt and Sora's place for TK's party. She was nervous, very nervous. She kept wondering how she would act towards TK. Would she talk to him? What would she talk to him about?
::KNOCK, KNOCK::
Someone was at the door. Kari walked out of her room and opened the front door. It was Yolie and Ken.
"Hi guys" Kari said to them as they walked in. "Hey Kari, we just thought that we should stop by here before heading over to Matt and Sora's place." Yolie stated. "Don't look at me", Ken said with a sigh, "This was all Yolie's idea." Kari laughed a little. "Yeah well I think I know why Yolie wanted to stop by." Kari said, knowing fully well that Yolie wanted just wanted to talk to her about TK again.
Once again Kari was right. "So Kari, its only about an hour before TK plane arrives" Yolie announced. 'Great, she isn't even going to pretend that she's her for another reason' Kari thought.
"Yolie, why does everything you say have to be about TK?" Yolie had a big smile on her face. "Because TK is your ex-fiancé and now he's coming back and this story could possibly make the perfect soap opera.", she said.
"Don't mind her, Kari", said Ken, "It's just Yolie's nature to never keep her mouth shut." "Hey Ken!!! That's not fair. I'm your girlfriend, your not supposed to say anything bad about me." Yolie pouted. Ken just sighed.
Kari smiled. She always thought that Yolie and Ken made such a perfect couple even though they were completely opposite and basically had nothing in common except for the fact that they were both freakishly smart.
'Those two really were made for each other', thought Kari, 'If only TK and I could have what they have. Ahh! Geez Kari could ya stop thing about him for once.' She scolded herself.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
A couple hours passed and now TK was standing in the airport waiting for Matt to pick him up. Now he was feeling very tired. 'Man, I should have told Matt to schedule the party for tomorrow night. Man, I'm totally jet-lagged.' TK thought. Just then he heard someone calling his name.
"TK! Hey TK over here!" TK looked up and saw a tall blonde man waving at him. It was Matt!
The two brothers ran over to each other and embraced in a warm hug. "Matt it's so good to see you again. You look great!" "You don't look so bad yourself kiddo." Matt said with a smile. TK laughed, "Ya know, Matt, I'm not a kid anymore." " Yeah I guess not," Matt said.
"So ya ready to go now? Matt asked his little brother. "Has ready as I'll ever be." TK replied. The brothers then left the airport and headed toward Matt's car. After putting all of TK's stuff in the car trunk, they hopped in the car and drove home.
During the ride home, TK was looking out the window at the people and places around him. Odaiba, his old home. It was the same and yet so different to him at the same time. He missed being here. Now, however, he would be living here near his friends and his family.
"So, excited to be back?" Matt asked, snapping TK out of his thoughts. "Yeah, I can't wait to see everyone. It's been so long." he answered. "I especially can't wait to see my little nephew." Matt smiled. It would be great for his one-year-old son, Kyle, to finally be with his uncle TK. 'It sure is great to have you back TK'.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
It was 7:30pm and all the digidestined were at Matt and Sora's apartment waiting for Matt to arrive with TK. Well, not all the digidestined. Davis, as usual, was late. Everyone was waiting excitedly. TK would be here in only a few minutes.
Mimi and Yolie were talking about clothes and boys, which happened to be the only things those two ever talked about. Ken and Cody were listening to Izzy talk about, well, computers. What else would he be talking about? Joe was anxiously waiting for TK and kept looking at his watch every minute. Sora was taking care of Kyle, trying to get him to sleep, but was unable to succeed. Tai was trying to talk to Kari, who really wasn't paying much attention to him because she was growing more nervous by the minute.
Then the door opened and everyone got quiet and looked over to the door ready to jump on TK as soon as he entered. Unfortunately it was only Davis. Everyone grumbled. "What? Aren't you guys happy to see me?" he asked. Tai sighed, "You think you could be early for anything in your life Davis, I mean you were even late for your own wedding." Hey! That wasn't my fault." Davis said. "Yeah right" replied Ken.
The DDs spent another ten minutes talking to each other about work, and a bunch of other different things happening in their lives.
Then once again they heard the door open. Everyone looked up and saw Matt enter. Behind him was a tall, handsome young man. "TK!!" they all yelled. Mimi, or course, was the first one to greet him. She practically pounced on him and gave him at tight hug. "It's sooo good to see you! We all missed you sooo much!" she practically yelled into his ear. "Thanks Mimi, but you don't have to try to deafen me" TK said while laughing.
"TK!!!!!" this time it was Davis who nearly killed TK with a hug, "I'm so glad your back...uh...I mean...hey TA I see you've decided to come back." "Hehe, it's good to see you too Davis."
One by one the DDs came up to TK and hugged him and told him how great is was to have him back. The only one who hadn't greeted TK yet was Kari. She stayed behind the others, unsure of what to say to TK. Then TK's eyes landed on her. She looked so beautiful to him. She hadn't changed at all.
He walked over to her and gave her tight hug. "You look great Kari. I missed you a lot." "You don't look so bad yourself", she said with a smile, "welcome back."
TK was about to say something else, when he saw a small blonde haired boy run over to Sora. "I suppose this is my little nephew, Kyle." TK said, taking the boy in his arms. "You look just like your dad." Kyle just stared at TK since he had never seen him before. A couple seconds later he started to cry. "Way to TP, just make your only nephew afraid of you. He's probably crying because he never saw such an ugly person before. "Yep, you're definitely the same old Davis." TK responded. Everyone laughed.
While Sora went to put Kyle in bed, TK decided to talk to Kari again. He walked toward her and said "Hey Kar. Can we talk?" "Sure" she said. They walk out to the balcony so they could have a little privacy.
Neither of them said anything for a while. Then TK finally spoke. "So, how have you been?" "Fine I guess." Kari responded. "How about you?" "Oh I've been good. So I hear that you became a psychologist. I thought you wanted to be a teacher." "Yeah I did, then I decided that I would prefer to help people who are having a hard time with life. My patients are all kids though. My oldest patient is sixteen." "Sounds nice. You always did have a way of making people happier." Said TK.
They were silent again. Then Tai came onto the balcony. "Hey you two, I bet your both hungry. We're getting ready to eat. You guys coming in?" he asked them. "Yep" said TK and Kari at the same time.
Everyone ate the dinner prepared by Sora and Matt and then went back to talking again. This time they were reminiscing about their adventures in the digital world and were laughing at all the funny times they shared together.
As TK sat with his friends, he realized that this was the happiest he had been in five years. It was really great to be back with his friends, his brother, and the girl he was still in love with. 'Now if only I could just tell Kari that I still loved her, then maybe we could get back together. Yeah right TK, what makes you think she'll want to be your girlfriend again. I guess we'll just have to stay friends.' He thought.
