(Ten Years Later)

Kari was humming as she placed her books in her locker looking forward to the party that night they were all going to. The girl who was throwing it was a good friend of hers and because of which Kari and her boyfriend were always invited. It was actually where Kari had met her best friend and the boy who was now her boyfriend. Not to mention the rest of their group when she was thirteen. Just then a boy walked up to her and leaned against the lockers. Kari looked him over once then returned to putting away her things that she wouldn't need for the weekend. She knew that he was going to ask her out and despite her telling him multiple times that they would never go out and that she was with someone else he wouldn't take the hint.

"So Kari you going to Mimi's party?"

"Yes Kitai but not with you." said Kari just as her boyfriend walked up.

"What's going on Kari?" he asked

"Nothing TK." said Kari

"TK."

"Kitai." said TK pulling Kari closer

"Well I would love to stay and watch you two verbally pound one another but Matt and Tai are waiting and I know that Matt doesn't like to be kept waiting." Kari said closing her locker door and pulling on TK's arm.

"Bye Kari." said Kitai and he left while TK allowed Kari to pull him out of the school and over to where their six friends waited.

"What took so long?" Davis asked impatiently

"Kitai was hanging around." said Kari and Yolie shook her head.

"When is he going to get it, I wonder." She asked from Ken's arms. The two had just recently started to date and couldn't get enough of being around each other.

"Probably never." said Ken smiling causing Kari to shake her head at their friends.

"Anyway you guys ready for the party?" she asked as the eight of them walked toward their cars. "Oh totally." Davis shouted. "Mimi's famous end of the year party!"

"Davis don't shout." said his girlfriend hitting him on the head.

"Ow, Shuukou that hurt." Davis whined.

"It was supposed to." said Shuukou as they each walked to their respective cars except for Kari and TK who had driven together and Cody and Koui who rode with Yolie and Ken.

Kari could tell that TK was still seething about Kitai earlier. Holding on to her boyfriend they walked to Kari's car and got in; but Kari could tell that no matter what she said he wouldn't listen.

"TK honestly there is nothing between Kitai and me." said Kari as they drove to the party. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

"I'm not being stubborn." said TK not looking at Kari.

"Whatever." she said driving down the road. She pulled into Mimi's driveway and parked next to her brother's car. Putting it in park TK didn't wait and got out of the car slamming it so hard that a piece of metal broke inside the door jamming it.

"Hey!" shouted Kari getting out as well, following her stubborn and seething boyfriend up the stairs.

Tai watched as his sister and TK danced but weren't really dancing. They were more like going through the motions and he didn't really want to know why. He could tell that something happened between the two and he had a feeling as to what-actually more like who it was. Sighing he walked over to Matt Sora and Yuuki, and then sat down.

"Kitai?" asked Yuuki

"Probably." said Tai, just as Kari and TK, who had been quietly arguing while they were dancing, started shouting at one another. That was when Tai and Matt walked back to where the two had gone to.

"TK, Kari. I think its best you go home and finish this." said Matt but when TK looked at his older brother, Matt could tell that the two wouldn't be talking for a while.

"Whatever." said TK and the two walked out after saying good bye to Mimi.

Kari and TK drove back to TK's house in silence after they left Mimi's not even looking at one another or acknowledging the other's presence. Suddenly as Kari was going around the corner the breaks went out and TK was thrown from the car due to the door being slightly jarred from where he had slammed it earlier that evening.

"KARI!" TK shouted as he watched her and the car roll over the hill multiple times before finally coming to a stop at the bottom.

TK ran to the bottom of the hill, over to Kari and pried the door open. Once he got the door open he saw the blood coming from Kari's side and head. Quickly and Gently TK pulled Kari from behind the wheel and away from the car that had started smoking. TK, remembering what his father told him if he was ever in a serious accident, tore his jacket off and placed it on her side to try and stop the bleeding. Then he took his phone, which had amazingly survived his fall, off it's clip and called the paramedics, his dad, hoping they would get there quickly. He told them where he was and hung up. Then he dialed another number and got the voicemail. Groaning he left a message for his brother to answer the phone when he heard a shout from above them.

TK looked up and sighed with relief when he saw Tai coming towards them along with Yuuki Matt and Sora. After Tai explained that since the two of them were so hot when they left Mimi's, she suggested to Tai they follow them home. Matt began checking TK over to make sure he was okay. Tai took over looking after Kari, who had stopped bleeding but was barely breathing herself.

"TK what happened?" asked Yuuki, her training from being on a task force kicking in.

"I don't know." said TK as his father came down the hill with two stretchers. "But I intend to find out."
