Spirit Hawk: I guess this will sorta be a three part mini-storyline.



"Speech"

(thoughts)

'Character quoting another character'

{short flashback/ or Journal entry} (A/N: You won't be seeing any Journal entries till about Chpt. 7)

Disclaimer: Spirit Hawk doesn't own Digimon. I do however own Blake, Yuri, and Vlad.

"What do you mean that Gatomon used to be your partner too!" Kari shouted at Blake. "It was along time ago. The digital world made a mistake.....or did it?" Blake pondered as he told her. The room was quiet for a few minutes as they pondered about Blake's statement. "Kari, Blake's story goes back....far back." Vlad said to her because the silence was driving him crazy.

"How far back does it go?" Kari asked Vlad. "It goes so far back.....even before the word 'digital' was even defined." Vlad said. Kari sat there quietly. "I would love to continue this discussion, but it's getting late and I hear that you two are in a hurry to get the states." Vlad said as he walked with them. "But, what about Blake's connection to the digital world?" Kari asked as Vlad opened the door to let them out. "I'm sure he'll tell when he is ready, right Blake?" Vlad said as he closed the door. "Sure...whatever you say." Blake yawned.

When they had return to their hotel room, Kari bugged Blake about his past. Blake was getting annoyed by Kari's constant bitching and trying to pry into his past life. "I'll tell you first thing in the morning if you'll let me have some blood and let me sleep." Blake growled at Kari. "Fine! Go feed and sleep!" Kari growled back as she flopped down on the bed beside him as she fell asleep.

Morning finally came and Kari woke up to one of Blake's pranks for her. "Ah!! Get this damn thing away from me." Kari said as she pushed a cross off her. Blake looked around the corner at Kari only to be greeted with a giant phone book over the head. Kari stayed clear of the cross now on the floor. "What's that? Kari's afraid of a little wooden cross?" Blake mocked her. He slides across the room to the cross. "Don't touch it, Blake!" Kari said with fear. Blake then bent over and picked it up.

Kari just stood there as Blake held the cross. "It's just a plain run-of- the-mill cross. Gotta be careful of holy crosses or any cross from the dark ages, those ones hurt like hell." Blake said as he twirled the cross around him. "Let's go and get checked out before I do something you'll regret." Kari growled as she left the room. Blake, thinking that it would be wise enough, followed her. A month later(A/N: Feb.), Blake and Kari had reached the U.S. . They had arrived at an airport(A/N: not going to name anyplace yet) in one of the cities on the coast. Blake had planned to take the next plane going to New York City, but a part of Kari wasn't ready to go and relax. She want explore and wander around the states before staying in one spot for awhile.

Kari knew where she was going and she had set her sights on California and San Francisco. "So, this is good bye I guess." Blake said to her. "For awhile, don't worry Blake...... I'll be back!" Kari said trying imitate the terminator on the 'I'll be back'. "Man, you liked the movie didn't you!!" Blake said as he was referring to the in-flight movie. "It had it's moments." Kari said to him. "I'm going to miss you, Kari." Blake said. "And I'll miss you too, but I'll probably catch up to you soon." Kari chuckled at the thought.

Soon after they went they went their separate ways. Blake, he headed to NYC to his apartment and had stayed there till the day Kari returned. Over the years, Blake had gain such much money that he could life a work-free life if he wished. Kari's path would be a lot different then Blake's

Blake had given Kari a small unwrapped package and told her not to open it till she was in the air. Kari had kept her word, about half-way to San Francisco she opened her gift. Inside was a note and a check for $20,000. The note read:

Dear Kari,

Hope you like my little gift to help you on your journey. If I may recommend that you put half of it in a bank account and let it build up. I'm glad to had you along with me and I'm miss you very much. I'm also glad that you told me about not wanting to come with me to New York. I just want you to know that I love you, I want to tell you about a month ago back in Transylvania but I could not say the words and was worried that you won't feel the same.

Love, Blake

Kari was shocked and somewhat relieved at what Blake had wrote. Even though Kari wouldn't have admitted it before, she felt the same way about Blake as he felt about her. She also felt that it was wrong to feel that way about Blake, because she loved T.K. and thought it would be just like going behind his back. Kari then reminded herself that to T.K, she was dead and held the note to her for the rest of the trip. Blake had written on the back the address where she could find him.

As the days went by, Kari spent a few days in San Francisco and it's sights. Kari went and visited Alcatraz and had noticed a name scratched into one of the cell walls. The name was Blake Hunter. Kari asked the guide if she knew anything about this Blake Hunter. "All we know is that he was brought here when the prison opened and left when it closed. He was a mobster, just about as famous as Al Capone but history has long forgotten his name. It was rumoured that he ran a moonshine business out of the ghost town Bodie, but this has been no proof of the that fact." the guide told Kari.

Well that got Kari curious. The next day she head out to the ghost town. It was so well preserved, artifacts from that time were still there even pictures of inhabitants were still on the walls of buildings. She entered the building that was know as the Hunter home. She walked around the building till she stopped at a picture from 1850's on the wall. In the picture was a boy, roughly a couple years younger then she was. Looked at the boy, he seemed familiar to her but she could put her finger on it.

A guide was walking by and Kari heard her say "and the building we are standing in front of is the home of the Hunter family". When Kari had heard that she looked to see where the guide was....and the guide was right outside. (Oh my god! That's Blake! No wonder I didn't recognize him at first.) Kari thought as she looked at the picture again.

Kari left the building and walked over to the grave yard. She found a wooden cross with written barely visible. 'Blake Hunter: 1846-1860' , After doing the math, Kari had found where Blake came from and his age was roughly what he told her. {I'm about 180 years old, give or take a decade} That's what Blake had told her and he was about 40 years off, but then again after 120 years or so who wouldn't forget the year they were born.

It was now about half-way through the month of March and Kari was really missing Blake, so she packed up her stuff and headed to New York. She looked at the address he had given her. The address seemed familiar to her. Kari made it to New York and arrived at the address Blake had given her. When she got there, it hit her why it was familiar, she arrived at the same apartment building Mimi lived in. Kari walked into the lobby and muttered "Great, I come across the world to get away my friends and I end up in the same apartment building as Mimi." as she walked around the lobby. It was at the last bit of her ranting when a voice said "Kari? Is that really you, Kari?". Kari spun around met Mimi face to face. "Mimi? Oh shit!" was all Kari said.

Spirit Hawk: And that concludes Chapter 5. I'm so sorry about not getting back to the others, but the next chapter will hopefully include them(If not chapter 6, Chapter 7 will have them appear for a bit.). So plz read and review!
