Ch.3

Kari slowly sipped her tea while carefully considering T.K.'s question, Well, I guess what made me realize that my husband wasn't right for me was the fact that he didn't believe. He didn't believe that the darkness was a threat to me. When the digimon started to call for me again, our marriage fell apart. Yugi just didn't get it.

T.K. rested his chin on his hand, I loved my wife with all my heart, and she loved me back. I was absolutly devastated when she died giving birth to Kuchi, T.K. rubbed his eyes, Her name was Mari.

Oh, I'm so sorry, T.K.. That's terrible! Kari sympathsized.

It's okay... There was a long silence.

Isn't it strange that we're both... Well, available... Kari thought as shecupped her hands around her warm tea cup.

T.K. began, What came between us? How did we and up living sperate lives

I just don't know, T.K., Kari sighed deeply, If only...

We could go back... T.K. finished for her, We cwouldn'y have to go through all this hardship again.

a faint smile flashed across Kari's face as she felt T.K.'s hand around her shoulders, It would be nice...

The thing is, Kari, no matter how much I loved Mari, she just wasn't you, T.K. said softly, She didn't deserve to die, just so that we could meet up again, but...

Deep breath Kari, deep breath... What bothers me is... A dry sob shook Kari's shoulders and T.K. tightened his arm around her, I married Gendo just to get revenge. I didn't really love him like I loved you, I just wanted to show you that I could survive without you... Kari trailed off into tears.
