**Okay peoples, this is chapter 8, but I don't give the chapter title until a certain part in the chapter, since the title gives the surprise away. Also, the language gets a little rougher in this chapter. You have been warned, turn away if you must or want to. BTW, I swear, that vulgar part near the end is never mentioned again.**

At the Digidestined's destination, there was such commotion that everything seemed upside-down. "Common everyone, get ready for the guests, and the queen mustn't know at all!" Shouted one of the Genai look-a likes. Pegasusmon ran up to one, "I have arranged that she will be in the bathes until they arrive, and she will answer the door when they knock; the front door of course, not the bath door. Oh yeah, remember to have someone nearby. I have an odd feeling someone out of the group may faint at the sight of her." Pegasusmon chuckled lightly at that thought. The look-a like chuckled as well, "Which do you mean? T.K. for just recognizing her, or Davis for thinking she's beautiful? Actually, she may faint as well. heh, knowing our luck, all of them will faint." They both laughed a little more then went back to preparing for the guests.

About ¾ of the way there, Davis began getting bored and began repeatedly saying, "Are we there yet?" Everyone, obviously not in the mood, said, "Shut up Davis!" Davis gained an anime sweatdrop and decided to shut up. Davis chuckled lightly to himself at the sight of Yolei walking by Ken talking to him, "Just like the old days." "You say something Davis?" Davis turned only to see T.K. looking at him with a quirked up eyebrow, "No TB, I didn't say anything." Kaira rolled her eyes to this, "Davis, let's pray for your sake Kari's not there. She'd most likely throw you off Mount Fuji for calling her friend those names." :Naw," T.K. began with a chuckle, "Kari's not that kind of person, she'd most likely just ask Tai to do it." Then all of a sudden, T.K. was knocked head over heals backwards onto the ground behind him, ".Oww." T.K. pushed what had knocked him over off; it was Wormmon. The little green caterpillar-like digimon looked up at T.K. and spoke with his usual low yet gravely voice, "Oh, sorry T.K., I was suspecting Ken to be-oh! Ken!" He smiled as he jumped up into Ken's arms. Still smiling he looked around at everyone, "It looks like you brought everyone Ken. Pegasusmon is stalling the 'surprise'." "Okay Wormmon, that's good to hear." Ken smiled gently at his Digimon. T.K. blinked a few times until what was just said got taken in, "Wait a second. Did you just say Pegasusmon?!" Wormmon covered his mouth, "Oops, I guess I accidentally let the Gatomon out of the bag again." They all then just began talking about everyday things like the Digiworld news, Digiworld weather, and what's been happening in the Digital World. About 1 mile away from their destination, a small ringing began. Everyone began looking around, but Ken chuckled lightly, "It's my cell phone." Then Ken took out his phone with a laugh, "Hello?" He began listening to the person at the other end and his face went pale.

"Ken, Travis is headed your way."

"What?! Why is he coming this way?!"

"We really don't know, we sent Pegasusmon to help you, but we don't know how much he can help."

"Did he go after her?" "I think she may have ran, we're trying to trace her on the map, but so far no luck."

"I know she's terrified of him, but it's not normal for her to run." "Wait a second. the tracer found her. Oh no."

"Hoolio. what's wrong?"

"Well, any second now, she's going to show up near you. and Travis is following her."

Ken just stood there for a few seconds, a shocked and scared expression on his face, ".Hoolio! Do you know how much he scares her?! He could just ouch her shoulder and she'd jump into orbit!"

"I know that! Butt no one could keep up with her! She seemed to be in a hurry. Is T.K. there as well?"

"Yes, of course T.K. is here, what about it?"

"..Get out of there! Travis wants to re-combine with T.K. so he can become stronger!"

"Maybe that's why she's coming this way." The line disconnected before another word could be spoken. That's when T.K. fell to his knees crying out in pain and covering his ears with his hands. "It's so powerful. it feels like my head is going to explode!" Ken looked over at him with a terrified expression, "Ohh no. He's opening your mind forcefully to join with you."

"NOT WHILE I'M AROUND!" A girls voice yelled, just as a form appeared behind T.K. and placed her hands on his ears; "Mind Fog! " the figure yelled as her hands began to glow a pale pink. T.K. slowly calmed down and shook his head, "What the." T.K turned only to meet face to face with a young girl at about the age of 18. The girl looked almost exactly like Kaira only more gentle; with chocolate brown hair that reached her shoulders; and had reddish-brown eyes. She had jewels on her forehead that was made to look like the crest of light; she was wearing a short white dress that ended at her knees with long sleeves; and white high heels that have straps that wrap around her ankles. T.K. stared at her for a few moments before slowly saying, "Kari.?"

Chapter 8:

Kari Returns

"It took you long enough to get here, Kari." Ken said looking at her with a look of agitation. "Oh hush, Ken. I'm not in the mood for your lectures. You know, you should rather be protecting everyone standing around you, not worrying about what Travis's next move is!" Kari shouted at him. "Look who's talking, you were rushing to get away from Travis." Ken said, still not moving from the spot he was standing. Moving away from T.K., pinks sparks began emitting from her, "I WAS GETTING HERE TO PROTECT MY BEST FRIEND DAMNIT!" At that, Ken was knocked flat off his feet. Yolei glared at Kari, obviously angry now, "You had no right to do that! I doubt you're the real Kari! Even Kiara, that vampire we fought, was nicer than you!" Kari stood there for a minute looking into Yolei's eyes, "Perhaps you should know, that I was that person for 7 years!" Falling to her knees, she buried her face in her hands, beginning to cry. The digidestined just stood there, shocked out of their wits. Ken stood there looking down at her before he went over and gently patted her back, "Calm down. I know you're scared." he tried to say it as soothingly as possible. She looked right at him, pure anger and hatred in her voice, "He sexually assaulted me every night for 10 years straight Damnit! He only used to whip you until you bled, and that was heaven compared to what I went through. and you were only stuck there for 5 years." "Kari, calm down, your friends are here, there's nothing to be scared of." from the look on his face, he was filled with a lot of fear and hatred, but also sadness too. "I hate him. I hate him for ever daring to trick me. I hate him for making me try to destroy my friends. I hate him for corrupting me. AND I HATE HIM FOR LOOKING LIKE T.K.!" She went back to crying as Ken began walking away to think. T.K. looked to the ground, wishing he could destroy Travis for ever doing those things to his best friend. As his eyes moved along the ground, he noticed what looked like a small pool of darkness forming under Kari, ".What the?." Ken stopped to look at T.K. Blinking, he followed his gaze to the darkness forming under Kari, "Oh my.Kari! Move!" Before she could even ask why, what looked like black vines wrapped around her arms, waist, throat, and legs, lifting her high up into the air. "HELP!!!" was all she could say in the current situation. "Hehehe, No one can help you now my little pet," A voice very familiar to Kari said. "Oh n-no." she stuttered as she trembled.

**Sorry sorry about the vulgar language. forgive me. LOL, anyway as I said, that certain part will never be mentioned again.hopefully. And, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who the voice is. Kari's attack she used on T.K should be trade-marked =P **
