Chapter Eleven: The second kiss

You won't believe how hard it is to sneak out of the house without anybody noticing! I'm just crap at it! I'd never make it as a spy!

I decided that I'd go see T.K, so the next day I tried sneaking out. I mean, even if I tried going out the door casually, Tai would catch me and then he'd say, "Where are you going?"

And I'd have to say, "I'm going to see T.K!"

And well… you can guess what would happen.

And if I lie… it won't work. Unlike Sora- she is one hell of a convincing person; I am a terrible liar.

So that's why I had to sneak out of the house.

I tried getting out the front door but it made too much noise and Tai's room happened to be just across the hallway from the front door.

Then I figured that it I open the window, I could climb out, and land quite safely on the ground below.

That's what I did.

T.K wanted to pull his hair out. What now? What now?

So he had received the reply from me saying: OKAY BUT YOU BETTER NOT TRY SOMETHING LIKE LAST TIME!

Now what? He thought. Kari's gonna be here any minute now and I still don't know what to say… well I do know what I want to say but how am I supposed to say it?

"Um, hi?" I said. "I came, just like you asked."

T.K looked startled. And then a slight blush spread across his face. "Hi…"

"What did you want?"

"I just wanted to say…" T.K looked like he was gonna say something important. But then he dropped his face and stared at the ground, "I wanted to say… I… I'm sorry…"

"Why?" I wondered.

"I'm sorry I've been such an idiot…"

"I know… you already told me that… and I guess I forgive you." I said, trying to lighten the mood.

He shook his head and continued staring at his shoes. "And I'm also really sorry that I took your first kiss."

"Uh-" I looked at him, turning red, remembering that.

Then he looked back up at me and grinned, "I know. That was really stupid of me. And I know that you don't like the way I've been acting and yeah…"

"Um…" I stammered. Was I supposed to say something?

"And I guess there's something else I've been meaning to say…"

I could tell he wanted to look at his shoes or something but he kept looking at me, his face red and I could see his legs wobbling.

"It's not an easy thing to say," I can remember Tai telling me how hard it is to tell someone those three words. Wait a sec! What did I say? How do I know that T.K is gonna tell me that?

T.K said, "I just really want to tell you that, I-I haven't stopped thinking about you ever since we, kinda- stopped hanging out. And I really missed you… and I-I... I just really love you, Kari…"

I must've been gaping at him because he was looking pretty down. And it's not everyday some guy tells you that! And T.K isn't just some guy! He was… is…was he used to be like my best friend! What was I supposed to say?

Silence…

He looked like he felt he should say something but he didn't know what to say and well, neither did I.

I knew my face was burning. I could feel how hot it is and all of a sudden, words just flew out of my mouth. "I love you too, T.K!"

And automatically I felt myself jumping at him and throwing my arms around him. He was really surprised and he fell over.

I was sitting on top of him and well, what now?

"I'm really, really sorry, T.K!" I began, "I have no idea where that came from!"

But T.K seemed fine.

In fact, he started laughing and then he gave me a huge smile. I had to smile back.

I think we must've looked really weird, all sprawled out on the grass, just laughing.

"Hey Kari," he said suddenly.

"What is it?"

"Can I say something?"

"But you already said something."

"Can I?"

"Yeah," I said impatiently. "What is it?"

"Thanks Kari!" T.K pushed his face up close to mine and kissed me gently.

(AWWWWWWW!)

When he broke it off, I just said, "Um…"

T.K blushed again, "Oh! I'm sorry! I am! I just kissed you again!"

"Um, well," I started, "um… that's okay."

Isn't it odd? The first time he kissed me, he took me completely by surprise but now, well, it wasn't too bad…

"Seriously, I'm really really sorry."

Then I smiled at him and said, "Hey, that's fine! I just have to get even with you!" And I just reached over and kissed him back.

And we were just sitting there kissing and then…

"AHHH…"

T.K and I jerked away and saw my bro standing there with his mouth gaping open.

Uh oh…

He stood there, goggle-eyed (get it?) and gaping at us. Then he shook his head and tried not to laugh.

"See Kari, I knew you were crazy about him! You just wouldn't admit it," he said, "Girls like you can be so stupid- WAH!"

Sora appeared from nowhere and tackled Tai to the ground, "Who did you say was stupid?"

"WAH! I didn't mean it!"

Tai struggled and finally got up from under Sora, he scratched his head thoughtfully and kinda guiltily, "Okay, I take that back," he laughed.

Sora looked back at me and T.K. "Hey, everything turned out okay, didn't it?"

Hmm… maybe so now I'm in another spot of trouble trying to avoid any rumors about me and T.K- again!

It's kinda weird but even though the feud I had against T.K is over, because I've got anything to do with him, I've got to avoid the other girls at school! Boys are nothing but trouble! Just cuz I'm associated with him… get real!

Boys!

Hey, at least I'm happy with T.K! (For now!)

THE END!

Emichii: all I can say is AWWWWW! THAT IS SO SWEET! Wow! That's over! I guess the ending is kinda funny because Kari's point of view seems to have switched over.

And guess what else? The sequel is coming out! Next week, Promise Part 1 will be out!

Okay, here's the order, I'm still Hopeful, and then Someone Just For Kari. The next sequel is in two parts. This whole mini-series is my Taiora Takari mini-series!

And this is the review on Promise Part 1!

19-year-old Tai's going to Tokyo to study. Poor Sora doesn't think she can handle life without Tai and Tai swears and oath and makes a promise that he'll come back. This part 1 is about Tai breaking the news to Sora and Sora and Tai's letters to each other, as well as some Takari! And the question is: Can Tai keep his promise to Sora? After going and living in Tokyo, can he go back to Odaiba?
