Blast: Oh yeah! I'm working non-stop! Look what caffeine did to me!

Yolei: Blast, you're only thirteen and you are already drinking coffee?

Blast: Hey, I'm turning fourteen this May. And I don't drink coffee. I want to live longer. I tried smoking, but the smoke stinks BADLY. I tried drinking, but I ended up vomiting. There's absolutely no way I'd try drinking coffee. I'd rather eat apples.

Yolei: Ah...:shook head: I'm only filling up for Ken right now because he has something to do. Blast, please get on with the disclaimer and notes before I do. :Notices Blast isn't listening and sighed deeply: Okay. Digital Monsters and Yours Truly are from Toei Animation. And :rumbles the script: there is no Takari in this fan fiction. Blast really wants T.K. and Kari better as friends.

Blast: There'd be some Kenyako fluff here and there. I wonder if it could be called as fluff. Nah, get on with the story!

CHAPTER III: THE TEACHER and THE WRITER

"Okay, class, what animal do you see in the picture?" the teacher showed a portrait of a cat.

"A cat!" the children chorused. The teacher clapped her hands. She has light brown hair that goes up to her shoulders. Her eyes are still full of spark.

"That's correct, children." She replied, smiling.

"Miss Kari?" a child raised her hand. Kari looked at the little kid.

"Yes?"

"There's someone at the door."

"Miss Kamiya?" the principal asked. Kari opened the door. "Miss Kamiya, there are people here to see you. Please hurry."

"Yes, Ma'am." Kari went out of the room to see two familiar figures. Recognition washed over the shorter brunette. "Yolei? Ken?"

"Kari!" Yolei exclaimed, running over to Kari and giving her a hug. Kari hugged back. "Oh, could this be you, Kari?"

"It's me, of course." Kari answered. She examined her Jogress. "But you...are another case. Is that really you?!"

"In the flesh, Kari." Yolei replied. Kari cocked her head to see the blue haired guy.

"Ken? Is that you?" Kari asked. Ken nodded. Kari shot a suspicious look at her Jogress. "Why are you guys here? You'll invite me to a wedding?"

This statement caused the two to become as red as cherries. Kari giggled. "I don't think I was talking about you two. Now that I think of it, I was wondering when are you two actually going to-!" Yolei covered Kari's mouth.

"Don't even think about it, Kari." Yolei said. When she released her hold, Kari began laughing.

"Okay, fine." Kari replied, regaining her posture. She looked at the open classroom. "Oops." She looked back at the two. "I'll talk to you by ten. It's still eight forty, and I still have my classes. Why don't you go to Takeru's apartment? He's staying in Polar Apartment. I'll catch up with you later there." Kari went back to the classroom leaving the two at the hallway.

"Well, I guess we should go to T.K.'s." Yolei decided. Ken nodded as they went out for the Polar Apartment.

The Polar Apartment was located a few blocks from the School. To both their opinion, it should be called Polar condominium or something. Ken and Yolei stopped to talk to the man at the counter.

"Umm, excuse me..."Ken started. The man looked up from his paperwork with a smirk.

"Ah, okay." He looked at the two. "Room for two?"

Both turned red, almost like cherries if you looked closer. Yolei was able to snap out of it first.

"Umm, no. Actually, we were looking for someone." She answered.

"Oh, I see." The man said with a nod. "I thought you two were boyfriend and girlfriend or somewhere near that."

This statement caused Ken and Yolei to look away from each other, the blush still stained at their cheeks.

The man chuckled. "Okay, forget that." He turned on his computer. "So, who're you looking for?"

"Uh, were looking for Takaishi. Takeru Takaishi." Yolei answered. Then man began typing.

"Takaishi...Takaishi...Takai-ah! Here it is!" he turned to Ken and Yolei. "Mr. Takaishi is on room 23, second floor. You can take the elevator."

"Thank you." They went inside the elevator. As they were inside, both made an impulse to reach and press the 2 for the second floor. Both blushed secretly as Yolei pushed the button when Ken took back his hand.

The whole elevator ride was silent. They were the only ones inside it, and the only thing they could hear is the next 'ting', and they were on the second floor. Ken and Yolei walked side-by-side as they looked for the room. When they found the room with the number 23, they knocked on it.

"I'm coming!" A male voice came from the other side. When the door opened, it revealed a tall man with thick blonde hair and blue eyes.

"My word...T.K., is that you?" Yolei asked with disbelief. T.K. looked at the two, and with the same expression Kari had, he realized it was his pals in elementary.

"Yolei, Ken!" he answered. "How...what?" He realized that the two are still standing by the doorway. "Oh, where are my manners. Come on in!"

Takeru guided the two inside his room. "So, why is it you are the only ones who came here together now? How'd you know I was living here?"

"Well, we actually went to see Kari first, who told us to wait here because her classes will end at ten." Yolei answered. "She told us that you were actually living here."

"You didn't answer my first question." Takeru said, grinning.

"Oh, I saw Yolei at the Sunlight Hotel." Ken answered. "The a few suites away from my boss'."

With this statement, Takeru formed an evil plan. "How exactly did you meet Yolei, and it seems as if you guys are inseparable."

Ken was looking at the side, obviously hiding his flustered cheeks. "Well, ah, you see..."

"I heard from a friend of mine who also lived in one of the suites in Sunlight Hotel." Takeru interrupted, stroking his chin. "That he smelled fumes coming from the other room. He went out, and saw a detective with blue hair carrying a woman with long lavender hair out. The 'detective' seemed to recognize the woman and began performing first aid. Damn if I know why he was shouting and jumping like an idiot, until I heard that the 'detective' performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the woman."

Takeru looked at the two, who seemed to be blushing for the hundredth time. 'Just as I thought.' "We should wait for Kari, she should be here any minute now."

Takeru: Okay, then Yolei. You take your good rest. I'll try to survive a chapter with her.

Yolei: Arigatou Takeru-san. Bye!

Takeru: Well, I don't think staying alive will be easy...she's a hornet, after all...
