This FanFic contains mostly TAKARI

Disclaimer- I don't own Digimon. I don't own the characters of this story. I own only the ideas, which in a sense I am giving to you to read and hopefully enjoy. And if you decide to sue me the joke will be on you cause I've got less ten dollars to my name and still have finished my Christmas shopping since I last posted so soon I'll be flat broke. Yup I still haven't finished my shopping. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh?

Please review. I am open to suggestions and I want to know what you think good or bad. I don't mind flames either as long as you give me a reason for them.

Also if any ideas sound familiar to anyone else's it is pure coincidence. I have been writing this for two years so if it sounds as if I used someone else's ideas I haven't.

Arigato

Dedication- Sorry forgot to add this to Chapter One so here it is. This is dedicated to Hopeful Writer for all the help and tips on how to save fanfics and post them and also for writing such wonderful TAKARI stories which I enjoyed a great deal and recommend to all TAKARI fans. That said on with the story.

Chapter Info- I figure this fanfic will have about 5 chapters. The first introduced the story and gave T.K.'s side of things so far. Chapter 2 will focus on Kari. Chapter 3 will be about T.K.'s gift shopping and Chapter 4 on Kari's. The last chapter will be the party.

Also I need gift ideas for any of the characters. If you have any thoughts I would love to hear them. If I use any of the ideas I will give credit to whom ever gave them to me. Thank you!

A/N This story takes place shortly after the second season ends. (Forget that after-math type thing they showed, okay?)

~~~Chapter 2: Kari's Struggle~~~

The meeting had just ended and Tai, Kari and Sora were leaving.

"Kari why don't you and I go to the park and brainstorm gift ideas?" Sora asked the girl.

"Why can't I come?" Tai asked Sora. At this she dragged him off a distance to explain. When they were out of earshot she began.

"You can't come because this is a girl thing Tai. And IF YOU came you would end up teasing your poor sister and making her miserable. That's why YOU can't come." Sora accused.

"I would not!" Tai said. Sora glared at him (A/N- I know it is very unlike Sora to glare.). "Okay so maybe I would, a little." He admitted.

"Exactly." They walked back to Kari. "Ready to go?"

"Yup." Kari replied. She was glad Sora had suggested this. She had wanted to talk to her about this and didn't really want to ask. Sora may have been like a sister to her, but that didn't make it any easier. They left Tai and headed toward the park. When they got there they sat on a bench in front of the pond and began discussing ideas.

"You know even though I know Yolie pretty well I still don't know what she'd like for Christmas." Sora stated.

"I know what you mean. T.K. is my best friend and I still don't know what to get him. I want it to be special though. You know not an ordinary gift like a basketball, a gift that means something." Kari agreed.

"Kari can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can Sora you know we can talk about anything."

"That's what I was hoping you'd say. So here goes...Do you like T.K.?"

"Of course it'd be kind of silly to not like your best friend." Kari giggled.

"That's NOT what I meant," Sora said exasperatedly. "Do you like him as in more than a best friend?"

"Of course not!" Kari said far too quickly.

"Kari, I've known you long enough to be able to tell when you're lying and right now you're lying."

"Well maybe a little but I can't. He's my best friend and you just can't love your best friend."

"Who says?" Sora asked the younger girl.

"Well no one I know of but I just can't. He probably doesn't feel the same anyhow. I'm his best friend. Nothing more nothing less." By this point Kari was crying.

"You don't know that." The older girl said in an attempt to comfort her. "Judging by the way he brightens up when you're around I'd say that he does, in fact, like you a lot."

"You really think so?" Kari said her crying stopped.

"Definitely. I mean look at how happy he gets when you talk to him. It's obvious he cares about you, Kari."

"If you say so Sora. So are we going to my house now?" She questioned. Sora was staying with them while her parents went out of town for the holidays. Sora had not wanted to go and visit her aunt. (A/N-I don't know if Sora has an aunt but we'll just pretend she does.)

"Might as well." They left and headed for Kari's house. When they got there they went into Kari's room (A/N-Kari and Tai finally got separate rooms.) and got ready for bed. After they had put on their pajamas, brushed their teeth, and said goodnight to everyone they went back to their beds. Sora was sleeping on a cot at the end of Kari's bed.

"Sora?" The younger teen asked into the darkness.

"Yes?" Was the reply she got from her older friend.

"Did you mean all that stuff you said at the park, or were you just trying to make me feel better?" Kari wondered secretly hoping she did.

"Of course I did. I really do think T.K. likes you and I know you like him too."

"Do you think people can love their best friends?"

"Well if anyone could do it and make it work for them you and T.K. can." Sora said positively. Her voice sounded as though her mind was made up and that it was final so Kari let herself fall asleep. Her last thought as she drifted off was 'I hope that Sora is right cause I really like T.K.'

~~~End of Chapter Two~~~
