8pm
Takeru looked out the window of his and his mother's apartment. A massive storm was already conjured up, with rain pelting down, and crashes of thunder and lightning, the scared unsure feeling the storm brought to the cosy apartment echoed his own feelings in a way that none of his friends could understand at the moment. Not even Kari. And that was something that didn't happen often.
'Australia?' His unsure thoughts whirled around his head like a hurricane.
He took his eyes away from sad window, blurred with rain that made him feel even worse than he already did. This was his last day in Japan, but a week ago, he still had his life to live here.
'How can so much change so quickly and suddenly? 'He asked himself unsurely.
Takeru heard the doorbell ring… the chime was music to his ears, but not so much as the voice of the girl behind it… but she didn't know that and it was too late for her to find out now…
"Takeru… I'm here, can I come in?" The girl said softly, the sound of regret and disappointment could easily be heard in her sweet high voice.
"Yeh Kari, its open" he sighed heavily as he talked, the pressures of the last week had been building up on him, and now he felt like he was going to snap. It was too hard to bear.
He didn't feel like looking into the sweet crimson eyes of Kari, his best friend, comrade, healer, helper, and also secret crush. Mainly because everything was about to change, in a way he didn't want it to, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't understand why his Kari was so adamant about coming to help him tonight. There wasn't really much to be done… Yet she insisted and insisted, and then found his weak spot with a cute face and a hug. She didn't know he longed for something more though, and that was what made it hard…
'Just 3 words and it would've been over with…. And everything would've fitted into its spot in fate' he thought miserably 'I love you Hikari…I don't want to leave… not without u. '
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kari opened the door and found T.K sitting on a box in his room. Her eyes watered at the look of his bare silent, solemn room, but mainly at the look she saw in his disappointed face. Hikari knew he didn't want to leave, and soon found icy tears of sadness dripping down her flushed cheeks, and she knew why, but he didn't, and now he was leaving.
"Takeru? Are u alright?" she asked as calmly as possible, unstoppable tears still dropping from her chin onto her pink shirt, and her high comfortable voice breaking with the task of stopping herself from crying out loud.
"Yeh" he replied, controlling himself "do u want anything to eat, drink? Anything I can get for u?"
Kari placed herself onto the box next to him " no Takeru, im fine, besides, your fridge isn't here, remember?"
"oh….. yeh…." He replied… His body tensed up. Kari immediately regretted saying anything, and so she put her arms around him and her head on his shoulder, like they always do while comforting each other. Takeru returned the embrace, his arms shaking slightly.
They stayed united in a warm embrace for as long as seemed reasonable, both taking in every feature of each other… both regretting each passing minute, every second, as each one drew them closer to the time of parting, the time that must come, but in their hearts, they knew it shouldn't, as for what is light without hope to burn brighter, and how can there be hope, in times of absolute darkness.
Both children feared the path ahead of them, for they knew it was the wrong one, but knew that fates puppets can only go where their string is pulled.
Too soon though they untangled their arms from their warm embrace, Although T.K was quite content to have Kari's head still lying comfortably on his shoulder. He looked at his digital clock, it read 8:15… he was just starting to disappear in his thoughts when Kari spoke. "Takeru?" she asked, barley audible.
"Yes Hikari?" He whispered his reply almost as softly as Kari, for some reason, it didn't feel like their conversation should be any louder than that.
"Do you have to go? Tomorrow? I don't want u to leave me… You're my best friend, Takeru, I'm really going to miss u." Her voice was trembling, and Takeru was surprised to find water dropping on his shirt… from his chin… they were his own tears.
They sat in silence for a few seconds… surrounded by their own thoughts, like a dark cloud following them wherever they went. T.K new that he had to answer though…
"I, I, I don't want to go Hikari, I don't know where fate is pulling me, the only thing I do know is that its pulling me away from my best-friend, and that's not something I want." He struggled to answer as the salty tears continued to run down his face.
'At least she can't see my face… She would think I was such a baby, I never cry, well maybe I used to when I was young, but not anymore… gosh… this is really getting to me…' Takeru thought bitterly.
Kari sighed "You always know what to say Takeru, I wish I could do that, I feel so useless."
"Kari!" T.K groaned "Your so good at putting yourself down, its so annoying!"
Kari laughed; Takeru was beginning to act like his normal self again. Maybe she had helped tonight.
"Hey, Takeru?"
"Yeh?"
"Can we play a game? Like a board game or something?" She asked "unless that box is sealed up or anything?"
Takeru smiled as he jumped off the box they had been sitting on 'trust Kari to come up with a fun game to pass the time!' He thought.
Soon enough the 2 best friends were lying down playing monopoly, and by 9 pm, both were asleep, and that was how they were found by Ms Takaishi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kari and T.K were awoken about 1 hour later. Kari looked around, dazed, not really sure where she was.
If the room had still been filled with all takeru's belongings, she would've recognised it instantly, but, with nothing but the walls and a mattress, it was hardly recognisable.
Then Kari heard T.Ks mum talking to T.K, and then remembered where she was. She watched Takeru as he stood up, 'his hair is messy' she thought 'but it just makes him look cuter. NO shut-up Kari, you're just making it harder for you and Takeru'
Takeru turned around to face Kari, and extended his hand, which she accepted gratefully as he helped lift her to her feet. She looked up at him, gazing deep into the sapphire blue eyes she'd grown to love and trust so much. She could always recognise those eyes, so blue, and would always love them, no matter how far apart they were.
"Ill walk you home." Takeru said kindly, it would be their last time, for 2 years at least.
"Alright Takeru, just as long as u keep away from my brother, we don't want to find u murdered the day before u are finally free of us!"
Takeru laughed and looked at her,
'look at the joy in his eyes, I guess I have helped, he hasn't been himself ever since he found out he was moving. I guess I haven't been myself either really, and Im not sure I do know how to be myself without Takeru, we've always been Best Friends, always been able to see each other when ever… almost…His eyes look like sparkling sapphires… and its been a while since I've seen that. Too long.' Kari thought about him all the time as he walked her home… her hand joined with his.
They slowed down as they walked round the last corner, and then came to a halt outside Kari's apartment building.
"Do you want me to come in?" Takeru asked, his eyes starting to fade again,
'I know what he's thinking, I wish he would stop though, but really, its all I can think about as well, its less than 24 hours now, 13hrs actually, and then he'll be gone, for 2 years.' Kari thought sadly.
"No Takeru, that's fine, u might wake up Taichi." She replied.
The wind blew suddenly, messing up Takeru's hair even more as he laughed saying "Yeh, that'd be pretty scary!"
Tears glistened in Kari's eyes, they felt like ice, and she looked down at her shoes as they dripped off her rosy cheeks. "I…. I…guess ill see you at the airport" she stuttered. Kari looked up to see Takeru's sapphire eyes glistening with tears as well.
"I guess so…" he replied as she watched his silver tear drop down his cheek.
Kari was about to turn and leave when she heard Takeru calling her..
"Kari, wait!" he called as softly as possible.
"What is it?" she asked quietly back to him.
"You better be at the airport, or ill be worse than Tai" Takeru told her, then he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. At this she smiled, the warm feeling on her cheek told her that she was deeply in love.
"Don't worry, Ill be there" she whispered back, kissing him softly on the cheek as well, before turning round with tears streaming down her face to conquer her apartment and its inhabitants (i.e Tai) and Takeru, still with unknown tears in his eyes walked slowly back, for his last sleep in Japan.
