Here I am again with the third chapter of my Takari fic. Thank you to all those who reviewed. Sorry for taking so long… the computer broke yet again, but thank god I've got a new one now. So updates will be faster.

By the way I've just remembered now that I haven't told you the ages yet… stupid me… TK and Kari are 17. Just figure out the rest of the ages yourselves. It's not that difficult. Oh and by the way there will be some sexual references in this chapter but I'll to my best to keep them as low as possible so it can still be rated teen. I hope I don't offend anyone at all.

In the last chapter TK learnt about Kari's change and was determined to get her back. And now in this one he finally confronts her…

Chapter three: The Takari Tattoo.

More than a week had passed since I had seen Kari's outburst and learnt the why of the new her. She hadn't been to school since. I had even gone round to her house to look for her, but she was never there.

What I had found out though was that Kari's older brother Tai was going out with my brother's ex-girlfriend, Sora, not that Matt minded seeing that I had found him having a heavy make out session with Mimi on the living room couch. I smiled to myself when I found them; I knew that someday, they would get together.

Life at school has been boring this week. I have been sitting on my own due to my desk partner is nowhere to be seen. Love has been all around me this week. Tai and Sora, Matt and Mimi, Ken and Yolie, Davis and Candy… even Cody was chatting up some of the younger girls. And me… all on my own. Thank god it's Friday and I haven't got to see any of the happy couples until Monday.

I walked down the school corridors muttering to myself when out of the blue I saw a flash of dark red and black curls. Kari. I ran down the hall after her not calling her name so she wouldn't find out I was following her.

Kari exited the building and went round the back of it. I hadn't been here long but I knew that was the place people went to do their "Business" without any of the teachers finding out. Kari sure had changed a lot. Before she would have never dreamed of going round that area and now… she was really familiar with it.

I saw her greet two girls with a warm hello. One of them had shoulder length raven hair and bright blue eyes. The other long dirty blonde hair and green eyes. The three of them together where certainly the most beautiful girls in the whole of the school.

I started battling in my head weather I should make her notice my presence or keep quiet. I watched her talking in a friendly mood to the girls. It was like having the old Kari back for a few moments. She bent down to get something out of her bag and that's when I saw in the form of a tattoo the proof that she still loved me.

On one side of her back she had her crest of light done in pink with the word "Light" coming out of it written in elegant cursive writing to carry on with the word "Hope" and my crest of hope done out in green at the end. I smiled. This was it.

"Nice tattoo Yagami"

Kari spun round to face me her eyes filled with anger. I knew she had recognised my voice without a doubt.

"What are you doing here Takaishi? Oh, I forgot its Ishida again now, isn't it?" she said, her voice filled with the same anger as her eyes. Her two friends were looking at me with amused looks on their faces. Ignoring Kari I made my way passed her towards the girls.

"I'm Takeru Ishida. And you are?"

"Miu Yamamoto" the blue eyed black hair girl said. "Aina Soler" responded the green eyed blonde"

"Pleasure to meet you" I said giving them my charming Ishida smile. Both girls giggled.

"You never told us you knew such cute boys Kay" Aina gushed at Kari.

"Well cute boy hasn't answered my question yet. What are you doing here Ishida?" Kari said looking pointedly at me.

"Sincerely I was hoping that I could have a nice little chat with you" I said putting special emphasis on the word hoping.

Kari looked at me with a murderous glare. "Aina, Miu I'm leaving, see you later" she said grabbing her bag and walking away.

"If you want to talk to her you should follow her you know" Miu said uncertainly

"Yeah sure, see you later. Thanks!" I said running of in Kari's direction.

Kari was a slow runner and I was quite fast on my feet so I caught up with her quickly.

"Hikari can't we just talk a second? Clear things up? Find out why you are not speaking to me perhaps?"

"Leave me alone ok Takeru? Just go away"

"Hikari, I'm not going anywhere until I find out why you are mad at me"

"Ok then. Let's go back in time shall we? Let's go back three years. To the day before you left."

FLASHBACK

Two teenagers sat on plush couch in a room with really dim lighting. The boy had his arms wrapped round the girl's body while she was leaning on him. A film was on but none of the two had real interest in watching it.

The girl sat up and shook her shoulder length hair out of the ponytail she had it in.

"TK, do you really have to leave?" she asked in sad voice.

"Kari, you know I don't want to, but, I can't stay on my own. I'm only fourteen" the boy said.

"Well you could stay here with Matt"

"Kari there is no way my mom and dad would let me and Matt live on our own. Not after he nearly burned the house down trying to cook"

The girl laughed, but there was still sadness in her eyes.

"TK?"

"Yes?"

"Will you forget me?"

"Hikari Yagami I would never forget you, and I will love you always and eternally even beyond my grave"

Kari started crying as she flung her arms over TK's head and started showering him with kisses. After some brief moments of kissing TK faced Kari.

"Kari look I've been thinking for some time about something and I think this is the best moment to tell you."

"TK? What is the matter? You are scaring me"

"Kari there is nothing to be scared of. I was just thinking about taking our relationship to the next level"

"You mean…"

"Yes I mean that"

"But TK we are far too young"

"Kari when two people are in love the age for those things doesn't matter"

The girl looked at him in the eyes.

"I suppose we can try" she said with a sly grin on her face. TK laughed and scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Hikari Yagami woke up when the rays of sunlight invaded her bedroom. She smiled to herself. She had experienced the best night of her whole life. She looked around the bedroom in search of her boyfriend but he was no where to be seen.

Kari got out of bed and decided that TK had to be in the kitchen or something. She searched the whole of the house, but there was no sing that Takeru Takaishi had been there in the last 24 hours…

END FLASHBACK

"You left without saying goodbye, you didn't even leave me one measly letter, you have ignored me for three years and now you come back pretending nothing happened"

"Kari"

"Don't you Kari me. I have finally learnt to live without you and now I don't want you back in my life"

And with that she walked away. And for the first time in my life I was literary speechless.

Well that was chapter three. What do you think of it? Good? Bad? Please tell me and I will give you a big piece of virtual chocolate cake for reviewing. Also if you think you know what is going to happen in the next chapter feel free to tell me!

Ciao!
