'What was I thinking.' TK thought to himself as he walked out of the school. 'I saw her eyes hurt. It burned to see her pain. I didn't expect Samantha to react the way she did. How could I have known she would kiss me? It's not my fault.'
"Yes it is." Davis said, walking up from behind TK.
"Did I say that out loud?" TK asked.
"Yea, you did. And it is your fault."
"How could you say it's my fault? I didn't make Sam kiss me."
"No, but you asked her out. Do you think that she would've kissed you even if you didn't ask her out?" Davis pointed out.
"Well, I, uh, I guess not." TK sighed. "But what am I suppose to do? It's not like I can fix this with a blink of an eye."
"No, but you could try to fix it tonight." Davis replied as he got into the passenger side of TK's car.
"What are you talking about." TK said as he started the car.
"Tonight's the concert. Why don't you write her a song or something? Or sing something from the heart for her. She was quite excited about it."
"I don't think she is now, Davis." TK sighed. He pulled the car out of the parking lot and headed down to the Tera Nova Auditorium, the place where TK would be having the concert at.
"Just go for it. You've got nothing to lose." Davis said as he turned the radio on.
"I suppose." TK replied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh man Yolei, when I see that, that..."
"TK?" Yolei filled in.
"Yeah! When I see him I am going to give him something serious to think about. God, I want to punch him in the face." Kari said frustratingly.
"I think you should approach this from a different angle. Think about what he likes about you, and use it against him."
"Like what, Yolei. Use my pillow against him? He likes my pillow." Kari replied sarcastically.
"Like...Sing him something. Tell him exactly how you feel and why." Yolei said as she sat down on the grass beside Kari.
"How am I suppose to do that. It's not like there's a concert going on or-THAT'S IT!" Kari said deviously, jumping up. "I'll sing for him at the concert tonight! Show him exactly why you don't mess with me."
"Oooh, I love these kinds of things!" Yolei said as she jumped up beside Kari, quite excited.
"Hey Yolei, let me use your phone for a sec." Kari said.
"Yeah, sure, go ahead." Yolei said as she handed her phone to Kari.
"Thanks." Kari said. She dialed Matt's cell phone number into the cell. "Hey Matt, it's Kari. Yeah. Hey, listen, I need a favor."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The auditorium was filled from wall to wall with fans and friends of Matt's band. The whole auditorium was black except for a few colored lights to show the way. The sides of the stage consisted of fire blowers (a/n: for lack of a better name. --), and the ceiling above the stage had disco balls and black lights all over the place. The whole building was in a buzz as everybody got ready for the show. Practically every seat in the house was occupied with excited on-lookers, waiting for the moment to come when they'd hear who this unknown person that was singing would be.
"Kari, are you ready?" Matt asked as he walked up beside Kari. Kari turned to see who was talking to her, and could barely make out the pale, blonde-haired 19 year old teen. He and TK didn't look that different from each other, except for the age appearance and length of hair. TK's hair went eye-length, unlike Matt's, who had hair to his shoulders.
"Yeah, I think so. I've practiced this routine so many times; I'm just not sure it will fit with the song." Kari replied with a hint of nervousness in her.
"I'm sure you'll do fine." Matt said reassuringly. "Just let my brother down easy." He said with a serious tone.
"Matt, do you know what he did to me? Do you know exactly how much I care about him and what it felt like to have someone crush my feelings?"
"No, but I know how TK would feel if the situation were reversed. He wouldn't feel any better than you do."
At that moment TK walked up beside Matt.
"Matt, when am I-Kari, what, uh, what are you doing...Here..." TK said worryingly.
"You're about to find out, Takeru Takaishi." Kari said with anger flashing through her eyes. She walked onto the stage and took her place behind the curtains that were about to be raised.
"Matt, what is she doing?" TK asked with a puzzled look upon his face.
"You'll see bro, you'll see." Matt finished.
All of a sudden the lights in the entire building went off, and the crowd went quiet. The curtains went up, and there in the center of a couple of dancers was a Hikari Kamiya, wearing tight, white leather pants and a white long-sleeved with a green vest over it. The music started playing, Kari's body started moving in ways TK didn't know were humanly possible, and her voice started singing.
"I am the sun, and the air, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am the son and heir of nothing in particular."
Her voice continued the song, and with each note she sang did TK's mind go into one more whirl.
"You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way?"
Then Kari looked over her shoulder and gave TK that look that she had kept from him for two years. She sang out loud the words that he needed to hear, the words that she knew he would know were coming from her heart: "I am human and I need to be loved. Just like everybody else does."
At that moment TK dropped to his knees in awe and fear and love all mixed into one emotion.
'Does she really want me to love her? Is that what she's saying? I...Geez. I guess I did screw up. I hope my song will make it up to her.' TK thought as Kari finished her song. She walked off stage and as she passed TK, she gave him a look of sadness and anger mixed together.
"Are you ready, TK?" Matt asked as he walked up next to TK. TK waited for a couple of seconds before he turned his to look and Matt.
"Yeah." He replied quietly. "I am." TK walked out onto the stage with his guitar, and started strumming.
'That's odd,' Kari thought. 'This isn't the tune he was planning on doing at all.'
"I wrote this song to, well...Myself. It's like my informative on someone very special to me." TK said looking at Kari with eyes of wanting and apologies. He turned back to the audience and began to play.
"Did you ever fall in love with that girl that you didn't think you could?
Did her eyes sweep you away like you didn't think they would?
Or is it just the way life has its effects on you.
Is it what makes you do the crazy things you do.
Is she the only reason you seem to fly away at night?
Is she what makes you feel warm and safe and tight and right?
Is it her that makes you feel like life could possibly not be there?
Is she the true one that will make you not hear a question while you look at her and stare?
While you look at her and ponder your thoughts.
Those thoughts that make you wonder is it worth it?
The ones that you just can't forget.
You remember those times when she cheered you on at your basketball game.
You remember when she cried for you when you got into the wall of fame.
You remember when she broke down in tears because some guy hurt her.
You remember wanting to punch him in the face because you love her.
Is she the only reason you seem to fly away at night?
Is she what makes you feel warm and safe and tight and right?
Is it her that makes you feel like life could possibly not be there?
Is she the true one that will make you not hear a question while you look at her and stare?
You always loved those nights when you would drink cocoa in front of a fire with her.
You always tried to look at her but if you stared too long your sight would blur.
You always laughed when you would race down a hill with her and end up on top of her.
She was everything to you then.
Now you're afraid of what she might say.
Afraid she'll turn you away.
Afraid that in the end it could cost your life.
But you love her. You know it's what's right.
Is she the only reason you seem to fly away at night?
Is she what makes you feel warm and safe and tight and right?
Is it her that makes you feel like life could possibly not be there?
Is she the true one that will make you not hear a question while you look at her and stare?
Look at her and stare
And stare
And stare."
As TK walked off the stage, he looked over to where Kari was standing, but didn't see her.
"Matt, where's Kari?" TK asked him.
"She was right...Here." Matt said pointing to the position next to him, finding it empty.
"Hey, TK! That was awesome, man!" Tai said, running up from backstage.
"Yeah, that was wicked! Did you make that song up yourself?" Davis asked, coming up from behind Tai.
"Yeah, I did. Hey, did any of you see where Kari went?" TK asked the group.
"No idea man." Davis answered.
"Yeah, I didn't see her either." Tai replied.
"That's just great." TK said. "I'm going to go look for her. Sorry I can't stay for your concert, Matt." TK said.
"It's ok. Good luck." Matt said. TK then turned and left the building through the back.
"He's going to need more than luck with what he's trying to accomplish." Matt said.
"You got that right." Tai agreed.
"Yes it is." Davis said, walking up from behind TK.
"Did I say that out loud?" TK asked.
"Yea, you did. And it is your fault."
"How could you say it's my fault? I didn't make Sam kiss me."
"No, but you asked her out. Do you think that she would've kissed you even if you didn't ask her out?" Davis pointed out.
