Never Been Broken

Part I

"Why do you, Have to go so Soon?"

By: Hikari Takaishi

Warm air surrounded 13-year-old T.K Takashi as he sat there on a picnic bench, pondering on his own personal thoughts. His blonde hair rustled, do to the wind running through the soft texture of his hair, displacing every piece. His eyes so blue, but looked so hurt, He sat there with his red book bag next to him and his elbow's leaning against his knees and his hands holding his creamed color face up.

A heavily sigh escaped his throat, as he heard the first warning bell had rung. He grabbed his book bag and swung one of the straps over his small yet brood shoulder, and slowly gotten up…

Pushing the blue jeans he's wearing down, do to them bulging up because of him sitting; he slowly walked to the huge junior high school. Flowers where surrounding the building, with many colors! Pinks, reds, purples, yellows... any color you could imagine was out there, and the type of flowers that they where, was unknown. With a flag poll out in front with the school symbol flying high and proud, it was a dark red color with a cat looking figure on either side of the flag, and had Odiaba Junior high school written around the symbol. Kid's swarmed quickly to get to class, so that they wouldn't get a tardy slip or even a detention for lingering around in the hallway.

T.K slowly crept up the stairs, still with that sad expression on his face…

"Hey T.P, how's it going?" The annoying Davis Motimoya had asked, walking up beside T.K while going to there first class…

You would think Davis would mature over his few years, but he was still the same old Davis, obnoxious and so damn stubborn, and also was still the heads over heals with the young Hikari Kamiya. Over the past years Davis appearances hasn't changed, he was still very tan, and had those dark chocolate brown eyes and dark brown hair… he was still a big fan of Matt Ishida, and he was a big fan of Tai Kamiya… maybe the fact that he likes his sister (Tai sister) or because Tai is a well decent soccer player, no one knows the real truth about Daisuke's weirdness.

A small sigh escaped T.K's Throat, anger wasn't anything the young T.K was feeling, it was more a sad feeling, "Davis… what's so hard into saying T.K?"

A grin spread across Davis's face, as both boys walked in the large classroom with a few people sitting, and more people standing. Talking, giggling… it was never something new to see in the morning at Odiaba. "Well… maybe. If you stay away from my girl, and I might consider calling you by your rightful name."

T.K's blue eyes flashed over to Davis, "You're kidding me, right?" A small piece of paper flew passed the boys and landed in the small blue trash can next to the teachers' desk, "Davis, me and Kari are only good friends, nothing more and nothing less."

"Yeah well…" Davis paused trying to come up with something to say, but couldn't think of anything, besides mumbling a few slang words that Takeru couldn't quite make out from the classes loudness.

T.K walked over and took a seat next to an empty seat next to him and slowly leaned over to grab a pencil and a notebook… he's not much of a math type of a person, but luckily Kari would normally help him… it wasn't that she was tutoring him, it just gave them time to hang out, and if one of them had a problem with there homework they could work together as a team, since either one of them had classes together besides lunch, but that's not really counted as a class.

As the last warning bell had been rung T.K began to jot down some notes that were posted on the board. The teacher walked in with his brief case in his right hand, his black hair neatly done, his glasses pushed up against his nose and he had on a gray suit, with a white sleeved button up shirt under the coat… he was a fairly young teacher, in his mid twenties.

"Good morning class." He said putting his brief case down and opened it, T.K could hear small sighs from behind himself escape a few girls throats, not understanding why they all like that guy, but he never really cared and really don't want to care.

"Copy your Algebra notes down and we'll get start on a new lesson today."

A boy from the front row asked, "Mr. Takehashi… what is it that we're learning?"

The teacher eye brow lifted to the boys question, "Your going to be learning about the concept of Algebra more so know than what you all have been in the previous times, then you all should be ready to take Algebra in high school next year."

The only class T.K dreaded happened to be math, it wasn't a lack of interest, and it was just sometimes it didn't make since to him, but he managed to keep a B average in the class….

As 14 year old Yolei Inoue crept her way in the classroom, with a bunch of books in her hands she prayed to god that she won't get caught…

"Miss. Inoue… late again are we? I would like to see you out in the hallway once you get your things sat down on your desk." The teacher said without even looking up at the tall lengthy girl that crept slowly to her seat…

Damn. Yolei sighed as she cursed at the alarm clock that made her late, and at Mr. Takehashi for spotting her…

T.K watched the light long purple hair girl put her things down, across from him. He gave her an insuring smile as her brown eyes met his blue ones.

She slowly walked away and walked out the door, with the teacher fallowing. The kids began whispering. Some of the comments they were saying were outrageous… things such as that Yolie was having an affair with Mr. Takehashi and such things as that. T.K new better than that though, but let them all talk.

"Yolei, what am I going to do with you?" Mr. Takehashi said with a sigh, pushing his glasses up against his nose as his green eyes glared down at her.

Yolei released a small sigh, "I'm truly sorry Mr. Takehashi, my alarm clock wasn't working and my parents are out of town…"

"Yolei, your quite young to be staying home by yourself aren't you?" The teacher had interrupted her before she could finish her statement.

"Oh, I go over to Kari Kamiya's house and stay." Yolei said with a small grin on her tan face.

A small sigh escaped the teachers' throat, "Yolei there has to be some sort of punishment that I must give you."

"Oh Mr. Takehashi, I wont do it ever again. Please." Yolei pleaded, as she looked up at the single man with a pout look on her face.

A small nod of disbelief was giving from the fairly young man, "This is your last warning. No more after this, you understand?" he replied trying to sound harsh.

Holding the smile back, Yolei nodded to the teachers comment and slowly walked in the classroom with her head low and snickered softly as she walked back to her seat and sat down.

T.K blinked at his friend as she looked up at him and gave him a grin of satisfaction. T.K nodded his head understanding that she got out of whatever punishment the teacher was about to give her, he returned her smile back and nodded, and began writing more of the notes that was on the board.

"T.K… is everything okay?" Yolei whispered over to him. Curious of her friends' strangeness, T.K nodded slightly with a weak smile, "Yeah everything's okay." Yolei could tell that he was lying but wasn't going to probe out what was wrong with him… it wouldn't be right to do something like that to T.K, he had more of the right to keep whatever he was keeping inside of his heart, than tell her what was wrong.

I wish everything was all right. T.K had thought as he began to jot down some more of his math notes, as he had giving a serious look, as if he was into his studies more than anything else… Yolei watched him for a bit, wondering why he was acting more like his brother, but then she shrugged it off and began on her own work so that she wouldn't get into more trouble than what she was in. T.K then pulled his math book and opened it up to page 114.

As the day went on Yolei and Kari stand in the lunch line waiting to get there lunches. Kari's eyes examined the room, looking for something, or maybe someone.

"Kari… what's wrong?" Yolei had asked, giving her friend a confused look.

"Oh nothings wrong." Kari said, as her amber eyes looked over at her friend and a small smile crept on her face.

"Weird." Yolei said with one eye brow lifted to her friend.

Kari gave a confused look, "What? What's weird?"

Yolei moved up a bit in the lunch line as she kept her back to the front of the line and her face towards Kari, "Well T.K has been acting a bit strange today. I asked him if everything is okay and he said it was… but I think he's lying." Yolei had said with a small shrug.

"T.K, lie? What made you think that he would lie about something Yolei?" Kari had asked as more confusion crossed her cream face.

"Well… he hasn't acted like himself today." Yolei said.

"Maybe he's sick or something." Kari had considered.

"Maybe Kari, but I seriously don't think he's sick. I think maybe you should talk to him… alone." Yolei had interpreted to her friend. Kari's eyes widen, "Me, talk to T.K? What makes you think that he'll sit down and tell me what's wrong with him?"

"Well you two have been really good friends for a while… I think it would be much easier for him to talk to you more so than me, plus… you two are made for each other anyways," Yolei had began, as she seen her friends mouth open in defense but Yolei quickly said, "You don't want to admit it right now, but seriously Kari… you're destined to be with one another! And don't give me that… we're just good friends crap, because I'm not buying it one bit."

A small sigh escaped Kari's throat knowing that it would be worthless to argue with Yolei, but she knew what or how she felt about T.K and no one else needed to know.

"So… what do you say? Are you going to talk to him?" Yolei had asked as they reached the lunch room and grabbed trays and picked up there lunches.

"I don't know Yolei… I haven't seen him one time today. Normally he waits for me at my locker when going to lunch… but I haven't seen him, so I figured that he was caught up doing some type of homework or was busy with something." Kari had said handing the lunch lady 50 yen's…

"So… is that a yes?" Yolei asked as they took a seat in the front of the lunch room. The room was noisy as always, food fly from the back of the lunch room and would normally hit someone in the middle of the cafeteria, it was like hell sitting in the lunch room but that was the only time you could actually sit down and talk to the people you hardly ever see. "Well is it?" Yolei re-asked eyeing her friend. Kari could see the glare from the light in the cafeteria shinning in her eyes…

"I'll see what I can do… but I don't know Yolei…"

"Hey guys… what are you talking bout?" Davis had said taking a seat next to Kari, looking at both girls with wondering eyes.

Yolei rolled her eyes, "Davis, what do you want?"

Davis gave a hurt expression on his face, "You know I do have feelings." He said holding his heart as if there was a pain, "You do? When did that happened?" Yolei asked.

"Since I've meet Kari." Yolei felt her appetite leave.

"Anyways… I was wondering what your planning on doing after school Kari?" Davis had asked watching his young crush as he had his chocolate brown eyes on the girl.

"Sorry Davis but Kari has other plans." Yolei piped in before Kari could say anything.

"Oh is that so?" Davis began to say, "And when did you become Kari, Yolei?"

Yolei felt furry sweep over her face.

Before Yolei could speak Kari said, "I'm sorry Davis I've got… something already planned. Maybe some other time Davis, Is that okay?" Kari said giving him an insuring smile. A nod surpassed the boy and gotten up and walked away.

Yolei waited until he was completely out of sight to begin to speak, "You know what, if Davis wasn't such an idiot he wouldn't be so bad."

A small giggle escaped Kari's throat as she took a sip of her orange juice and swallowed it quickly and said, "I don't think Davis is an idiot, he has good intentions. He's really nice once getting to know him." Kari had said kindly.

"Hey guys…sorry I'm late, I got… caught up in some things." T.K had said lowering his book bag down as he took a seat across from Kari.

"Aren't you eating T.K?" Kari had asked with a concern voice.

"Hmm? Oh… I'm not hungry." T.K had said with a weak smile as he got a note book out and a book.

"T.K…" Kari began, "Listen guys, I'm fine. Don't worry about me okay?" Kari looked over at Yolei wondering what possibly be wrong.

Yolei just gave her friend a shrug. "T.K, where just concerned that's all." Yolei had added in.

"Yeah, well be concerned about someone else." T.K said harshly. He stopped writing and looked at his two friends and sighed, "I'm sorry guys, and it's just that I have a lot of things on my mind that's all."

I hope that's all. Kari had thought noticing that T.K was a bit more fidgety. "It's okay T.K, but if there's ever anything you wanna talk about you always have me and Yolei." Kari had added with a weak smile.

T.K gave the same smile back and said lightly in a calm voice, "I know." It was like a whisper that doesn't even seem like it was said, but they all shrugged it off as if nothing was said in-between each of them.

"So… I heard that the spring dance is this weekend, are you going Kari?" Yolei asked breaking the silence.

Kari shot her friend a look, as T.K slowly looked up from what he was scribbling in the note book waiting for an answer from her, "No… I don't have anyone to go with."

Yolei nodded her head, "What about you T.K?" A fluster of red's and pink's where mixed on each side of his cheeks, "Same as Kari."

Yolei pressed a small grin on her face as both T.K and Kari knew what she was thinking of, "You know, since both of you don't have a date, maybe you guys should go together? You'd guys look really cute together!"

Kari looked at T.K wondering what he was thinking, but right there he answered what she was thinking, "No, I don't think so Yolei."

Yolei's smile went to a frown, "What do you mean T.K?" A shrug was given and he said, "I don't know."

A feeling of hurt and sadness mixed in Kari's heart but only gave a weak smile and said, "Yeah I don't think so either Yolei."

T.K looked over at her in surprise that she was agreeing with him. Yolei shook her head in disbelief and took a small bite of her food.

As a few minutes had passed the bell had ranged the people swarmed out of the room, louder than before.

"Hey Kari…"T.K began as they both got up at the same time as his blue eyes were kept on her.

"Yeah T.K, what is it?" Kari had asked.

"I was wondering if you'd mind walking home with me after school. I have something important to say to you."

Yolei looked at Kari and then at T.K…This could be it. Yolei had thought holding back her excitement.

"Yeah, I'll walk home with you."

T.K nodded to her answer and said, "I'll met you at your locker, and I promise I'll be there this time." A smile went on both of there faces and Kari nodded and a slight giggle escaped Kari's throat, "Yeah, I'll met you there." T.K slowly walked away and walked out the two double doors leaving the two girls behind him…

"So… think he's going to ask you out?" Yolei had asked in a low whispering voice.

Kari shook her head at her friends' comment, "I don't think he is… I think there is something wrong."

Yolei nodded her head, "I told you!! He like's you Kari and he trusts you. I think right know he needs a really good friend, and that friend can only be you."

Kari felt her heart stop a second… not understanding why he would go to her, but much she was happy that he had consider her as a good friend.

"Kari, earth calling Kari, hello anyone there?!! Hey Kari, quit daydreaming… we're going to be late for class." Yolei said as she was standing by the two double doors where T.K walked out from.

"Yolei… do you think that…" Kari paused as she imagined T.K leaving her. Yolei gave her friend a small smile and said, "I don't think so Kari." Kari nodded and walked along the side of her friend…

Once the end of the day grew nearer by each passing second, Kari waited in her Literature class, with her left arm elbow leaning against the top of her desk and her long slender fingers running through her hair while in her right hand was a pencil, jotting down things that didn't matter to her at that point, but later could mean more than anything. As she finished writing she looked up at the time… 2:15, 15 more minutes to go to until she gets out of school. The day felt like it would never end for her…

Yolei peered at her friend. Jotting something down on a piece of paper and folded it and looked up to see if the teacher was looking, she looked at Kari and smiled… once the teacher had turned her back Yolei slipped Kari the letter. Kari looked down at the white sheet of paper that was written in a golden color ink. She grabbed it and opened it, almost like in slow motion.

Her eyes skimmed it, Nervous? It was the only word written on the paper. Kari looked at Yolei and slightly nodded her head. Yolei nodded in return, and went back to her notes.

Kari looked down at her own notes, noticing the scribbles and the un-neatness that was written. She then bent down toward her red book bag and grabbed a clean white college ruled piece of paper, and began to re-write her notes again.

15 minutes had finally passed and the bell had finally rung and every student risen from there seats and gathered there things together in silence. It wasn't much of the type of class to be wanting to talk in… it was the end of the day and everyone has already gotten there talking mood out. Kari slowly gathered her own things.

Yolei waited but after a few seconds, Yolei said, "Kari… you still don't think he'll…" "I don't think so Yolei." Kari said jumping in quickly as she slowly gotten up and putted her book bag on and walked out with Yolei to one side of herself, and looking around the crowed hallway…

"You know… if Davis finds you walking with T.K, he might get upset with you a bit." Yolei had considered, while looking around the hallway herself. Kari sighed lightly, "You may be right, but Davis's feelings are my least concerns right know, I mean I care about Davis and all, it's just that…"

"Don't worry Kari; I understand where you're coming from." Yolei had insured her friend as she smiled at her and walked down the hallway stretch…

"Head's up!" Yelled a boy from behind them as a football whizzed from above Kari and Yolei's head and fell in one boy arms… "I think they mean heads down." Yolei had said feeling a cold chill run up and down her spine. Kari nodded her head in full agreement with her friends comment.

As they reached there lockers there stood T.K, looking down at the floor tiles that were in blue and white.

"Hey T.K, I'm glad this time you can wait for me!" Kari said with a smile on her face as she walked over to the boy.

He looked up and returns a weak smile and said, "I told you that I would." Kari nodded as she turned the combination of her lock.

"So, I guess I'll be seeing you guys later?" Yolei had said looking at the two of them. Kari finally opened her locker and looked back at her friend and smiled, "Yeah, I'll call you Yolei! Then maybe we can think of something for science fair since it's only a few weeks away."

Yolei winked and said, "Yeah, I totally forgot about that. So I'll talk to you tonight Kari and I'll see you later T.K." T.K nodded as he watched his friend walk away. Now it was only him and Kari…

"Kari…"T.K paused, spotting Davis walking up to them.

"Hey T.Q, what are you doing?" Davis asked as his eyes sifted to T.K.

"Waiting." T.K said in return.

"Waiting? Waiting for what?" Davis asked as he looked around, as if he didn't know what T.K was waiting for or on.

"Davis, what do you want?" T.K asked softly.

"Oh nothing… I just thought that I would ask Kari to the spring dance." T.K felt his heart jump a bet. His blue eyes looked at Kari who was more speechless than anything.

"So what do you say Kari? Do you want to go with me to the spring dance?"

Kari felt her mouth grow dry but knew that T.K wasn't going to ask her… that was already official in the cafeteria, "I'm not sure Davis." Kari said. A knot grew in T.K's throat but had no control over who Kari can and can't go out with, but he was really wanting to ask her to it though, but he couldn't in the same breath.

"Okay. Umm think you could call me and tell me your answer?" Davis asked with a slight bit of pink appearing across his cheeks. Kari nodded and said, "Yeah I'll call you tonight or tomorrow sometime, is that okay?" Davis nodded and walked away.

Kari looked at T.K and smiled, "I'm sorry about that T.K."

T.K gave a nod and said, "Its okay, I understand, and I think that it would be good for you to go to the dance."

"You really think so?" Kari asked as they both began down the long hallway and walked up to two double doors that were leading to the outside of the Junior high school.

"Yeah, I mean any guy would want to go with you." T.K said shoving his hands in his pockets and kept walking.

Kari looked at her friend with wonder. "I don't think any guy would want to." At least not the one I want to ask me to go with. Kari felt her cheeks grow warm.

"Kari there is more guys that like you than what you really know." T.K exclaimed as both of them walked along side the pavement of the highway. "T.K you're just bluffing." Kari said with a childish giggle. "Fine then don't believe me, but I am telling you the truth though."

Kari kept an eye on the boy she was walking next to. "T.K, then tell me the truth about what was wrong with you today at school?" A small sigh escaped his throat, "Kari, that's what I've wanted to tell you… it's all about that. So can you wait until we get to your house?" Kari looked at him and nodded.

Walking along the sidewalk, Kari kept her head low, thinking what possible could be wrong with T.K… "Kari, will you quit trying to figure out what's wrong with me for the time being? You'll find out sooner or later. Everyone will." He said in a low whisper voice that sounded so hurt. Kari looked at him… he didn't even look at her when he was talking to her; she sighed and nodded her head.

"So are you going to that dance with Davis?" T.K had asked. Kari gave a small shrug, "I-I don't know. I really don't want to."

T.K nodded his head, "Kari…" He fell silent after he had gotten her name out.

"Yeah T.K what is it?" Kari asked confused a bit.

"I-I was wondering if I could… never mind." He said lowly.

"You could what T.K?" Kari asked looking at him as they both stopped in there foot steps. There eyes met. Gaze upon gaze. T.K sighed, trying to build up his courage to ask her a big question that he never asked a girl before. He took a deep breath, "I was wondering if that I could… hold your hand maybe?" A tenderness of red appeared across his cheeks.

Kari smiled lightly and said, "Yes you can T.K." He looked at her shocked and surprised. He slowly held out his hand, and in what felt like milliseconds Kari intertwined her own hand with his. T.K collapsed his hand tightly around hers and had giving it a tight squeeze, and they both began walking across the street to get home.

Once there walk had ended, and they already happened to be at Kari's home the giggles that one another shared felt like something heavenly was bonding between the two teenagers. T.K began to frown as he looked at the front door of her home. "T.K…" Kari began looking up at her childhood friend.

"Yeah I know, I promised you that I'd tell you what's wrong." He sighed heavily, "Kari… I'll be leaving for a while." T.K said looking at the hand that he was holding on to.

"How long will be a while?" Kari asked looking at him, with sadness in her eyes.

"I'm moving Kari." T.K said painfully. Kari felt her heart sink… her childhood mate was leaving her, "When?" Kari asked holding the tears back.

"In two days." He answered her question with a small sigh, grasping a hold of her hand tighter. "Will-Will I ever see you again? Can we keep in contact with one another?" Kari asked as tears slowly feel down each side of her cheeks.

"I'm not sure Kari if I will be back to Odiaba. But I'll try to keep in contact with you." T.K said looking down at her, watching the tears cross down her face.

Kari nodded, pulling him closer to herself and let go of his hand and wrapped her arms his neck and pulled him tightly to her, and let tears hit his shoulder blade, wetting the T-shirt that he was wearing… "Kari, please… don't cry." T.K said softly brushing his face on her own shoulder blade.

"How can you say not to cry at a time like this?" Kari said with her eyes closed tightening her hold on him.

"I know, I know." T.K said as he pulled away and looked at her.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" Kari asked looking up at him. "I'm not sure… but I have to go, will you be okay?" T.K asked. No. Kari had thought but nodded.

T.K leaned down and kissed her on the cheek and smiled. "I'll talk to you later." He said lightly, keeping an eye on her to see what she would say or do. Kari nodded and watched as T.K slowly walked away, down the opposite direction of the way they had went… Why? Why do you have to leave? Kari had thought watching him disappear without any sight of him…

To be continued!!
