::Disclaimer:: (do I have to put this on every Chapter? Oh well) Ill keep it short… basically I don't own digimon, or anything much really… L
::Authors Notes::
Hello! ill try to make this chapter a little less confusing ^-^ Basically everything is the same as the last chapter… if u see anything in the middle of ' these thingies ' it means they are thinking…. The ages are the same as the last chapter. I'm not in a comedian mood, so really, ill just get on with the story.
Neways, I have just updated this chapter, I have changed the thinking methods so there wont be any random 'she thoughts' after the places where kari is meant to be thinking. There are quite a few cute bits, so it may be worth a reread if you haven't read this chapter with new thinking.

CHAPTER 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Takeru's House)
Takeru woke up abruptly at the sound of his alarm beeping loudly… his heart felt like it was falling fast, off a high cliff. At first he didn't know why, but after looking at the uncomfortable mattress he'd been sleeping on, and seeing his only possession in his room, a packed bag, ready for flight, he understood why.
Today was the day he had been dreading, for a week at least.
He lay on the mattress for a few minutes. Listening to his mother scurrying around the house, panicking.
'Great' he thought 'the last thing I need now is my mum to be in her dashing mood… oh well'
"Takeru!" He heard his mother call, too soon "Are you up yet? We have to leave in 1 hr!"
"Yeh… im up" T.K yelled back, only to keep her quiet a little longer.
'Why is she acting like this? ' He kept thinking in bed a while longer 'we've only spent the last week packing! And 1hr? I thought our plane left at 11am, its only 6 am now! '
"T.K!" His mother cried again. Panic-stricken.
'I better get up, for her sake, wouldn't want her to burst… gosh, I'm not even under that much pressure' Takeru thought sulkily to himself once again, reluctant to get up to start the day.
The sun wasn't even up, although not much sun had been seen over the past days, they had been engulfed in massive storms and Takeru could hear the loud droplets of water as they hit the apartments windows and roof. He got changed into the clothes he had selected before packing, and got ready to clean up the mattress to return to Yolei, who they had borrowed them from.
The boxes had all disappeared from the house; all their belongings had gone on an earlier flight this morning. Takeru sighed heavily as he watched the blurred vision of his mother run around their sold apartment, and thought of Kari as he heard the wind howl like a sad wolf outside.
'How can I tell her? I should've told her last night, it would've been easier then… What will happen when I go? I wouldn't be able to stand it if she started going out with someone else, especially Davis…' Takeru got lost in pessimistic thoughts once again, as he said his final goodbye to his home, for 2 years too long. The clock read 7 am as his mum drove him to Yamato's apartment so he could say goodbye to his dad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Kari's House…)
Kari rolled in her bed once again… she hadn't been able to sleep all night.
'Great' she thought 'I'm going to look like a monster when I say goodbye to Takeru… what a nightmare this is… only problem is, its coming true'
Kari's eyes slowly opened, as she looked at her digital clock (pink) that lay next to her bed. It read 6 am.
'Ive only got 5 hours left with Takeru' She thought tearfully 'oh, great, here we go again, I wish I wasn't such a baby, but I know its something else… Oh I'm so stupid… why didn't I tell him… When I next see Takeru he'll probably have some cute Australian girlfriend… and ill just be lost, and my love will have abandoned me… great now I'm getting all poetic…. Might as well get up… nothing else to do, unless I actually WANT to drown in my negative thoughts… '
Kari got out from under her pastel-pink doona, and walked across the room to her desk. She sat down on her comfortable desk chair and took out her digital photo album. It was mainly pictures taken from just after their first adventure in the digital world.
She smiled at all the happy memories.
'No-one can take these away' she thought blissfully to herself as she found her favourite picture. It was of Takeru pushing her on the swings at the park across the road, 8 yrs old. They both looked so happy, laughing and playing together. On the back of the photo Takeru had written: hOpe aND LigHt 2GetHEr 4EvAr. 'Together… forever…' Kari thought sadly
Many nights she had taken this photo out of the album and stared at it. Watched the happy faces… these carefree children had no school problems, no popularity contests, no ratings… and even more often she had dreamt of Takeru whispering those words softly into her ear, along with a kiss on the cheek to show that he loved her, as much as she loved him…
'like last night?' Kari questioned herself 'I shouldn't get my hope up… but oh Takeru, how I wish this photo told the truth… why must u leave… Today? '
She continued to flick through the album, only creating fiery tears to flow down her flushed face. Each photo was torture, as it reminded her as what once was, and what will be lost.
'I'm not sure how to live without hope, and if hope is Takeru, how do I live without him. ' Kari couldn't help thinking ' He always helped me up, he was my hope, and I wouldn't have been able to live without him… It's so unfair that I only realize this when he is about to leave me. ' These thoughts had been weighing her heart down for far too long, but she had no one to talk to, except her own mind, and it seemed it would always be that way.
Kari jumped as she heard the T.V flick on unexpectedly. 'It must be Taichi… I guess I should go and greet him… though im not really in the mood' Kari thought irritably as she closed the album and headed for her door.
"Morning Tai" she murmured half-heartedly.
"What? Not Good morning? Well someone's in a excellent mood!" He replied surprised.
"Yes, hello to u to." She whispered under her breath sarcastically.
"I know. Takeru is leaving today, and your really sad…" Taichi told her in his I-know-everything voice, smirking, before he continued to tease her. " I would be too, if my crush was leaving "
"Be quiet Tai." She whispered, forcing back tears "You would be acting the same way if Matt was leaving…"
"No, Matt isn't my boyfriend…he doesn't need me to worship him…. Too many adoring fans already… and im not gay…Yuk" Taichi sprung back at her wisely, like an all-knowing sage.
"T.K IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND… DROP IT!" Kari yelled back at him. Tai seemed almost taken aback until he laughed rolling his eyes
"Yeh… that's what they all say." He replied
In pride Kari put up her nose and responded "Well im getting ready to leave, ok, you should to."
"No, im not a girl, I don't need 2 hours to get ready." Tai Teased.
Kari rolled her eyes as she walked back to her room. Sometimes brothers could be so annoying. Tai was way too overprotective of her, and it got on her nerves a lot.
For about a year now he had been teasing her because of her best-friend relationship with T.K. He hated it when Takeru and she were together, and never really gave them a chance to talk in the comforts of her home. She guessed that Tai had taken up the sport of teasing her about Takeru being her boyfriend in a vain attempt to stop fate from turning that way.
'But maybe im just using that as a stupid excuse for still not telling Takeru how I feel about him…' Kari thought miserably as she closed her door and started to pick out the perfect clothes to wear to say goodbye to her beloved.

(::em: wow… how mushy was that…. ^^||::)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
( At the Airport )
Kari looked at her watch, it was exactly 9:45… Takeru had already said goodbye to most of the digidestineds, and was now pulling Matt away from adoring fans to say goodbye to his brother… it was always hard to go anywhere with Matt and not get noticed, in the last year Matts band had gone international (Matt and T.K can speak both English and Japanese) and had been a huge hit…
"You better understand what I'm telling you, or your in big trouble." Matt told Takeru in fluent English… as all the other digidestined's stood in a completely confused state of mind…
"Don't worry, I understand, Matt!" T.K replied, irritated that that was all Matt could say to him…
"Good, take care of yourself bro." Matt said (in English) as he and T.K hugged tightly again.
Then, T.K turned to Tai, who ruffled his hair in a friendly gesture saying… "We'll miss you Teeks."
"Huh? Where did that nickname come from?" Takeru asked, confused (in Japanese)
"I dunno." Tai replied, just as confused "The dark depths of my head, that some people like to call the brain…"
Takeru laughed, his eyes sparkling like sky blue sapphires on a sunny day, polished and shining, for all the world to see its beauty.
Then, last of all, T.K turned towards her.
' Keep it together Kari, Just don't cry, he's just your best-friend, right? ' the pretty brown haired girl thought to herself.
"Kars? I need to talk to u…" T.K asked, his voice was tight and choked, trying not to cry, as he blushed a deep crimson red.
"Mm hmm" Kari nodded, not trusting herself to speak. Her face was as red as Takeru's.
Takeru took her soft hands into his own as a sound was heard over the loudspeaker.
"FLIGHT 145 to Australia Will begin to board first/business class passengers immediately."
Kari followed him to the wall about 20 metres away from the others.
"Hikari, Im really going to miss you… " Takeru started…. "its so stupid, I don't want to leave… but I don't really have a choice…. I just wanted to say… that you're the best friend, better than best, and ill miss you heaps…"
Kari looked up into his blue sapphire eyes and they connected, both feeling burning love…
'now kari, just say it…' she thought, frustrated with her nervousness 'Ttta..takeru I love u… ' she stumbled, even in her uneasy thoughts…
"T.T.Takeru…" She said as T.K broke the connection with their eyes and started looking in his bag for something.
Soon he found what he was looking for… a letter… that he gripped tightly in his hesitant and shaking hands.
"Takeru…" Kari started again, this time stopped by the loudspeaker again.
"FLIGHT 145 to Australia is now starting to board Economy passengers, please have your boarding pass ready as you come to the exit."
"Here, Kari…" T.K offered her the letter in his hands. "its for you, open it when I've gone."
Kari accepted the letter gratefully as he kissed her on the cheek (Background panic screams can be heard from Takeru's mother.) Kari blushed as she sniffed and held him tightly, neither wanting to let go, both knowing that this could be the last time, forever.
They stayed in this warm embrace with tears gently and softly dripping down their blushing cheeks, silently. (Well almost silently, Takeru's mother was still screaming)
Kari realised she had missed her chance. She sighed as she started again.
"Takeru, I am really going to miss u, more than u can imagine."
"So am I, little angel, so am I." He said, kissing her softly again, leaving that same warm, loving feeling on her cheek as he turned to his mother.
His boarding pass was out and ready, then giving one last wave of the hand, he boarded the plane, still crying, still sad.
Kari stared at T.K's sapphire eyes, and still-ruffled blonde hair, and felt a pang in her heart. She trembled as she watched his handsome face turn around and his body disappear from view. Then, still clutching the note in her quivering hands, she walked back to the car with her brother Tai.
