*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"TTTKKKK!" Kari screamed.
Kari pushed Tk down to the wet cold ground. The attack just barely missed them. Yolei and Ken watched as the Flame collided with the pavement a few feet away from Kari and Tk.
A wave of pain spread through Tk. Not only had he hit the hard pavement, but Kari was lying on top of him. He groaned.
Kari instantly lifted her head up.
"Tk, are you okay?" she asked worried like crazy.
He winced from the pain. "Yes. Thanks to you," he said, grimacing from the pain that continued to race through his body. It felt like lightening, striking him repeatedly.
Kari somehow sensed he was in pain and climbed off of him.
Tk slowly sat up, his head throbbing. Kari instantaneously threw her arms around Tk's neck. He was a bit taken back by her actions, but quickly recovered. In return he put his arms around her and gently rubbed her back.
"It's okay, Kari. I'm fine," he said, quietly.
Kari didn't remove her hands from his neck, nor did she lift her head from its position on his shoulder.
"I know, but I was just so scared, Tk. I was afraid that I was going to lose you," she said, loud enough so that only he could hear, or so she thought.
Before Tk could say anything, they heard a gruesome laugh.
"HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Please gag me! Ugh! You humans are just repulsive! I've had enough of all this mushy gushy shit! Why don't you to just cut to the chase and end this little drama by saying, 'Oh Tk, I love you so much' 'Kari I love you too!'," it said, mocking them.
Tk let go of Kari and carefully stood up, resulting in Kari letting go of him as well.
"I've had just about all I can take of you and your goddamn mouth!" Tk yelled, angry as hell.
Kari gasped. She had never seen Tk this angry before, nor had Yolei or Ken, who had also gasped in shock.
"Oh have you?" the thing asked, mockingly.
"Yes, I have! Why don't you just reveal yourself already?" Tk yelled.
The thing laughed again. "Fine, but be warned, you asked for it!"
Suddenly, the whole block became flooded in the warm glowing light of the lamps. The wind and rain stopped. Everything was still.
Tk glanced around, but didn't see the creature that had been there before.
"Where did that…..thing…go?" Ken asked barely whispering for fear of breaking the silence that engulfed them all.
"I have..no..clue," Yolei said from her place next to Ken.
Tk walked around, looking for any traces of the creature.
Just when he was about to say something, a familiar voice was heard close by.
"TK! KARI! YOLEI! KEN! Thank god you guys are alright!" came Mimi's voice.
The four teenagers turned around to see Mimi coming out from behind the bushes that surrounded the building.
"Mimi!" they all gasped.
"Why were you behind the bushes and how long were you there?" Kari asked.
"Well, when I saw this thing fly over head, I knew it was a digimon. I was afraid it might see me, so I hid. That's when I saw it stop over head, so naturally I just stayed where I was," she said.
"Oh, I see…I think," Kari said.
"Anyway, We have to find out what that 'digimon' was, why it's here, and where it went," Tk said.
The three teens nodded their heads in agreement.
"Okay, it's probably still somewhere around here, so Yolei, get the others, and we'll all split up," Tk said.
"Right away, Tk," she said, saluting. She ran up the steps and disappeared into the building.
Ken walked over to the steps and sat down, while Mimi walked into the building for safety. That left Tk and Kari standing next to each other on the sidewalk.
In the light of the street lamps, Kari took a good look at Tk to see if he really was alright. She noticed that his right elbow was scraped and that he had a bruise on his right arm as well. His hair was still spiky and unkempt. Though his clothes were a bit damp from the water on the streets and sidewalks.
Tk turned and noticed that she was staring at him.
"Why are you staring at me?" he asked.
"I'm not staring at you, I'm looking you over," Kari said. She mentally cringed at the way it sounded.
Tk's eyes grew a bit bigger.
"Uh, why?" he asked, not knowing how she meant that.
"Because I wanted to see if you were hurt, I mean, I did kinda just slam you to the ground," she said.
Tk smirked. "Trust me, I know."
Kari laughed. "Sorry," she said, a touch of sadness creeping into her voice.
Tk put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "Don't worry about it. I'm fine and you were only doing it to keep me from getting hit by that 'things' attack."
Kari nodded. "I'm really glad you are okay. I was so scared when I saw it heading straight for you! I just immediately reacted, I guess," she said somewhat sheepishly.
Tk smiled, and pulled her closer to him. "Well, it's a good thing you did, Kari. And I'm glad that you're glad I'm okay," he said laughing.
Kari smiled and was about to say something, when Yolei came out with the rest of the DD's (that were there) with her.
"Okay, I got them. What now?" Yolei said.
Tk could tell that Yolei obviously hadn't told them about the attack, and he was glad.
"Well, I think we should split up and look for anything suspicious or the digimon itself," Tk said.
The DD's nodded.
"I'll go with Sora," Tai said.
"And I'll go with Mimi," Matt replied.
"I'll partner with Tk," Kari said.
Davis had been hoping she would pick him, but became a bit jealous when she didn't.
So that Davis wouldn't say anything, Yolei said, "And I'll partner with Ken and Davis."
Everyone nodded and went in separate directions.
Kari and Tk started walking down the wet sidewalk when suddenly the lights went out. They could here the others gasp and squeal in shock.
Kari grabbed hold of Tk's hand. He was a bit shocked, but tightened his grasp on her hand.
Just as suddenly as the lights had gone off, no sooner had the wind started to pick up. Everyone fought against it, trying to make their way to each other, but it seemed nearly impossible. The wind was too strong for them.
Though Tai and Sora had met up with Mimi and Matt, the others were still separated from them.
Yolei, Ken, and Davis had decided to stay where they were, afraid to move for fear of getting lost.
Tk and Kari weren't going to give up though. They pushed against the wind and walked forward trying to make it to the others.
Just then, a loud laughter echoed across the darkened streets. They had heard that laugh before. It was the monster from earlier.
This time, Kari's hold on Tk's hand got tighter as she inched closer to Tk.
Tk was tired of this monster already. He wasn't going to let some damn digimon scare him.
"What do you want?! Why the fuck are you doing this?!" Tk yelled.
The digimon just laughed.
"Don't you have any manners? Shouldn't you know that it isn't polite to curse?" it said, laughing it's cold, dry laugh.
"Shut the hell up! I'm tired of you and your big damn mouth! Who or What are you?!" Tk yelled.
"Now now, I'm the one asking questions around here, you little bastard," it sneered, becoming mad.
Tk's anger began to build, yet again.
"Tk, don't! It's not worth it! You're bigger than this, Takeru Takaishi!" Kari exclaimed.
Tk tried to calm down, for Kari's sake.
The digimon rolled it's eyes in the dark. "Oh god, not this again! You are too damn nosey and insolent for your own good, Light! I should do what I started last time, and destroy your friend of Hope…for good!" it yelled out.
Kari was mad now.
"Don't you dare hurt Tk!
I swear to god you will regret it!" she yelled.
"Oh, well now, it's seems I've hit a nerve! Maybe I SHOULD get rid of 'Takeru' and watch you suffer with him as well," it said, getting ready to attack.
'Flame of Hell' *
The attack headed toward Tk and Kari, but something strange happened. A pink light surrounded Tk and Kari and the attack disintegrated. Suddenly the light, which seemed to be coming from Kari, brightened the darkness that surrounded them all, which revealed the digimon's identity.
Tk was surprised and shocked, as were the rest of the digidestineds. They all looked up and saw the digimon.
"Oh my god!" Ken exclaimed.
"It's Daemon!" Tk exclaimed.
To Be continued!
