A/N: this chapther takes place after the events of Digimon Adventure 02 episode 13, his masters voice, it seemed a bit open ended to me. well i hope you enjoy please review!

Relif washed over Yolei as the computer room Door slid open,

"There you two are! You've had us So worried first Kari disappears, then T.K goes AWOL! I had to sedate Davis to stop him running after the pair of you!" she scolded

"Sedate Davis?" asked TK a confused look on his face, Cody side stepped to reveal an unconscious Davis, A lump protruding through his hair, Kari giggled placing a hand over her lips.

"Now, where in the digiworld have you been?!" demanded Yolei

A dark, saddened, look fell across Karis' features "I don't want to talk about it just yet" she visibly shuddered, Instinctively TK's arm wrapped itself around Kari's shoulders.

"It's ok, your safe now" he whispered, Kari visably relaxed

A small smile crept onto Yolei's face, she had suspected that the pair had a thing for each other but now she had proof. Romantic ideas flying through her mind Yolei motioned for TK and kari to leave "Go on, Be off with you, before lord noodles-for-brains comes round" she said with a wink.

"Good idea, Lets get you home before i have to add Tai to the list of guy's who want to kill me" TK said with a grin

Also suppressing a laugh Kari replied "Tai wouldn't kill you, Davis maybe, But you never.. wait you have a list?"

"oh yeah; Davis; because of our friendship; Izzy; from the time i spilled Pepsi on his laptop; matt because I'm his brother, and Sora but she doesn't count"

they had left the school by now and turned right towards the Kamiya apartment,

"Why would Sora want to kill you" Kari asked her eyes narrowed suspiciously

TK was held his hand up in defence "nothing like that!... we just had an argument over who was a better Gundam pilot. She said Heero, but she was wrong it's obviously Domon, I'm at least Domon has a reason to act all cold at the beginning, she just said Heero because she thought he was cute.., I'm Babbling again arn't I?"

"Yep, and your wrong, Domon cheats, he doesn't pilot a gundam, it copies his movements" Kari said , a grin spreading across her face, TK would argue about the wierdest things. They had reached Kari's apartment,

"Do you wanna stay for dinner? Mum's away this weekend so it'll probably be Tai's noodle's again" she asked her crimson eye quivering in nervousness.

TK brushed a stray bang behind her ear the brief contact sent shivers down his spine, "I'd like that.. even if it's Tai's noodles" I've been invited in before, why is today so different? He thought.

Inside a note was taped to the fridge

Kari,
Gone out with Sora,
noodles in the fridge,
be back later
-TAI

"so much for dinner then," Kari sighed

"What do you mean?"

"I can't cook" she replied looking sad and disappointed

"no matter, you go and relax, today was hard for you, I'll whip something up," TK said opening the fridge, Noticing her hesitate he pressed on "go on, I've got this"

"Are you sure TK? I Mean your supposed to be the guest here!" kari's eyes looked surprised

"I'm Sure, now go sit down and let the master, cook, Gatomon make sure she stays there would you? Patamon could you find some potatoes?"

"Sure TK" the Digimon said in unison, Gatomon grabbed Karis' hand and dragged her out the room.

"Let TK treat you if he wants... let him.. how do you put it...sweep you off your feet! I wish some one would do that for me!" the feline-Digimon Purred.

As she let herself be lead to the sofa Kari Giggled "better not let Veemon hear you say that!"

"Don't even joke about that!" Gatomon Shuddered

An hour passed, TK seemingly never leaving the kitchen, Kari curled up on the sofa, then the chef called Service, the smell was wonderful but it looked even better, out of nowhere TK had crafted Potato Rostis and tender Chicken in a Peppercorn sauce, he had also laid the table, candles playing in the semi-darkness.

Impressed by the TK's culinary skills Kari exclaimed "wow when did you learn to cook!?"

"well I should say Matt and my Mum, but really it was TV" he replied with a grin

"Yeah," Patamon piped up, "TK loves cooking shows! Especially ones from Europe, that show you how to cook for two!"

TK went red as a beetroot and mumbled something along the lines of "Shut up Patamon". Kari only smiled.

After eating and washing up, which TK insisted he do himself, they settled down to watch a movie, as it played in the back ground Kari asked something that has been bothering her, "OK, What did you really mean by what you said earlier?"

"I'm not getting away from this am I?" Kari shook her head, "okay, Remember what happened after the battle with Piedmon?"

"the battle with Apocalymon? What about it?"

"No just before that," TK noticed that Kari still had no clue what he was talking about, he sighed, a blush rising in his cheeks "the thing that had our brothers roaring with laughter and reduced Mimi and Sora to giggle fit everytime they saw the pair of us... when you said we'd be together forever?"

"Oh," Kari said with surprise, her face reddening as well "that..."

"well today i remembered how I felt back then, how scared and alone I felt knowing i might lose you. I also remembered a promise I made, a promise to look after you, to protect you, Tai and the others put a lot of faith in me that day and I couldn't just sit by when you disappeared, I knew I had to find you, because I... because I care about you too much!"

Touched by his words Kari threw her self around him buried her head in his chest, "TK, I really care about you too, I was terrified, that place... it made me lose hope, it felt like I had been abandoned. But when I saw you on that cliff, it was like someone had switched on the light..." anything else she said was lost in a torrent of tears.

Wrapping his arms around the crying girl, TK gently rubbed her back, "it's OK I'm here, I'll always be here.." he soothed.

It was about 10:30 pm when Taichi got back from the cinema, Sora had insisted that they take one of those double-seats, right at the back, so to get the best view of the screen; they got a great view alright, but of a cinema full of kissing couples instead. Sora resting on him and giggling didn't help either.

He was just about to head to bed when he noticed the TV was still on showing the DVD player screen saver, as he went to turn it off he noticed the pair of sleeping figures wrapped in each others arms, a small smile crept onto his face.

Tai wrapped a blanket around the Chosen of Hope and Light, and went to bed "I'll kill him in the morning," he thought.

Elsewhere

A blond haired man, who looked in his early twenties, ran through dusty corridors robes billowing out behind him.

"The Prophecy is coming true!" he cried "we must work fast, or all is lost..."
