Chapter Two: An Old Friend
"You never changed, did you Hikari?" asked a stranged voice.
The gang turned around to see a boy about the same age as them, standing on a nearby rock.
"Huh? Who are you?" asked a shocked Kari.
The boy smiled and jumped down form the rock and landed right in frount of the gang. He had brown eyes and his long blue hair was tied in a low ponytail. T.K looked at this boy and then at Kari, who had the same puzzled look on her face.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Yeah! How dare you come and ruin our evening like that!" yelled a frustratedDavis. The young teen looked at the two boysand then back at Kari.
"Your friends asks alot of question, Hikari-chan." he laughed.
"Just who are you?" Cody asked in an ignoring tone, while standing up with Yolei and Ken.
"I would like to know the same too, yah know." Yolie wined, holding Ken's hand.
"You didn't tell them about me?"the boyasked.
"Look, I don't even know you." Kari said defensibly .
"Would it be to hard if you just tell us your name so you can leave?" asked Ken.
"I'll be honored. My name is Veto Kishimoto." the boy name 'Veto' bowed in politeness. Kari gasped.
"Veto? 'Runny Nose' Veto?" Kari laughed. The gang looked at her then at Veto.
"Yes, Hikari-chan. It has been a long time."
"10 Years to tell you the truth."
T.K looked at Kari then at Veto then back at Kari. "Excuse me forenturrupting. But, you knew Kari since she was three?" he asked.
"Yes. I also knew Taichi-kun, too." Veto smiled.
"Tai would be so happy thatyou came back from America!" Kari said and ran to give him a hugthat Veto happily accepted.
"Hey! I don't carewho you are butI will not alow you to hug Kari!" Daivs almostwent after Veto but T.K stopped him. He looked athis friend and saw that he had his head down.
"Kari and Veto haven't seen each other in years.Just let them be." T.K said, barely above a whisper.
"Okay, fine." Davis poutted.
"Hey Kari! What are we? Shop Liver?" Yolie yelled.
"Ohright. These are my friends. That Cody, Yolie, her boyfriendKen, the goggle boy is Davis, and my best friend in the whole world T.K." Kari blushed as she said the last name.
"Nice to meet all of you. Hey Hikari-chan.Do you want to come over to my how tonight to met my folks? They really miss you and Taichi-kun." Veto pleaded.
"Sure that would be fun." The rest of the day, the gang got to know Veto.As the day came to an end,every one went there separate ways except for T.K, Cody, Yolie, Kari, and Veto.
"Well, this is our building. Nice to meet you Veto. Later Kari! Bye Veto!" Yolie, Cody, and T.K went into their building. T.K slowed down ad looked at Kari with a smile. Kari smiled back and waved at him. Veto noticed the glow in Kari's eyes as she looked at her best friend and sighed.
"What's wrong, Veto?" asked Kari.
"You love him, right?" Veto asked that shocked Kari.
"You can say that." Kari looked down witha blushing face. "Come on! Mymom will be happy to see you again.
"Yeah."
