Chapter 2 A Week of Deal

"Who the damn are you?" TK said with an angry face

"Me? Huh" she answered with a high tone of voice

"Yes you!" TK said. While looking at her TK remembered who she is. She is no other lessbut. "Hikari Yagami!" he said with a shocked face

"Where, When, How did you know my name" Kari asked

"Huh (sighed) you don't remember, right? We are at the same class when we were 8'til 11. It's been four year since the last time I saw you, I mean look at you, your height increased, and you've grown a bit. And you know you've reach puberty, and loo-" TK stopped because Hikari shout out loud.

"SHUT UP!! And maybe you've noticed that I really do hate you since then? Takeru Ishida"

"Well, Y-yes. By the way you are right, I am Takeru but not Ishida, it's Takaishi now, my parents have divorced" TK explained

"Well it's nice you already know each other" Mrs. Yagami interrupts their fight

"Not really" answering her mother

"OK back to business, are you going to accept the job, or the mission that we offer you?" Mr. Yagami asked TK.

"I am sorry, but I don't know what the hell is happening here and I don't want trouble, I don't care if it is in our tradition, it's just because I don't want to accept it, don… don't ask me for reasons, because I don't have any!" he explained seriously

"But you…you can't… please help us, please protect our daughter" Mrs. Yagami begged

TK just looked at her using his clear blue eyes. "Mom don't beg for this guy he's worthless" she told to her mom as her crimson eyes burn into anger to the blonde boy.

"Mom we're leaving" TK told to his mom with a calm voice

"But son-" Natsuko tries to stop him

"Mom, it's my life. I'm old now, I know what the hell I'm doing" he said

"But-" Mrs. Yagami interrupted the mother and son conservation

"Mom stop it" the young girl with the chestnut hair and crimson eyes yelled.

"But kari…" Mrs. Yagami said

"Mom… I know this type of person, well for Mr. Takaishi's type, hmm… he's just scared" Kari insulted him

"No...No I'm not, I just don't want trouble" He said calmly to control his anger and then he looked at his mother that who was just looking at him and he said to her "c'mon mom"

"Mom maybe he's the wrong guy, well look at him he's so slim, I think he's too weak for the job" Kari insulted him again. While the blonde boy and his mother was leaving. While Tk was about to open the door Kari insult him once more "maybe you are a really weak person, no! You're a chicken; a chicken that runs all the time when they are in trouble" she insulted him and her, with a insulting grin on her angelic face

Tk ignored it. Then the words of Kari Yagami just came in "or maybe even worst, tell me the truth are you one of the girls? Are you gay?"

Then Tk released the door knob that he was holding a few moments ago, and goes directly to kari and said "You know it's alright if you call me weak or chicken, but a GAY…no way I can't take it, it's pissing me off you know" he said trying to control his anger then he added "Alright I will take that damn job or mission just to prove that I'm no gay"

The Yagamis' except for Kari and Natsuko smiled but faded when Tk continued

"But it's just for a week"

"A week, why?" Kari asked

"Because I don't want to hang out with you" Tk answered

"do you think I want to, I'm just asking you to protect me!; because my life is in danger, do you know that feeling that you must not trust people because they can be the cause of your death!" the words just burst out of the young girls mouth

"OK! OK, just stop it, I will make a deal, I will protect you in a week, if the week is over and you don't have any wounds or scratches caused by the people that want to kill you, I will refuse the job without you and your family's complains" he paused for a moment and continued "but if you have any I will not complain or even protest" the young blonde man suggest

"Alright, I agree" Kari nod

"Well I guess for us too" Tai grinned

"OK! Case closed, now we will just wait for the result. Oh! And your deal will start tomorrow" Natsuko informed

Then TK and his mother go home

MORNING

"TK…son wake up… you will be late for school" Natsuko said while shaking the boy trying to wake him from his deep sleep.

Then TK opened his eyes a bit and looked at the green clock, and looked at his mother and said "mom… its still early, my classes will start at 7:00 AM, its only 5:45 AM." He said while yawning and still in sleepy tone of voice.

"GET UP!!! You are going to be LATE at your NEW school!" she yelled

The boy opened his eyes wider and quickly sat up "WHAT? School? Did I hear it right, NEW school? I'm going to transfer. What do you mean new SCHOOL?" he asked his mother desperately

She sighed "yes son, new school, before you ask why, you are going to protect Kari right?"

"Well ya" he answered more calmly

"Then you must go to the same school with her… you must not get your sight off her"

"So what?"

"If you didn't go to the same school with her you will lose the deal that you made" she explained

"Well mom I think you are right… but why I? I think she must transfer at my school and not me to her"

"Son, give me a break, even if you tried to…oh god …you act stupid you know, I've enrolled you to Odaiba School. AND THAT IS FINAL! YOU ARE GOING TO HER SCHOOL."

"Geez mom chill out I'll be going" he said and rushed to the bath room

"Morning guys!" Kari greeted her classmates and friends. "Oh, hi Kari good morning" one of her friends greeted her.

As Kari and her friends talked to each other the bell rang

BRRRIIINNGGG………….

"Oh class will start" Kari said and rushed to her seat.

A teacher with huge eye glasses entered the room. He is Mr.Yamamori a chemistry teacher. "Class I would like you to meet your new classmate before I start the lesson."

"Ok you can go in, boy" the door slid open and reviled a blond boy and walked straight to his homeroom teacher. "Hi" is his first word inside the class.

Kari shook her head and sighed, just a short glance to the boy she already know who he is, he is her protector

"T.K." she sighed enough for no one to hear her. She prayed to all the gods she know that the boy in front of the class don't notice her. She tried to hide her face using a book but she was late she heard him call her name

"Hey Kari nice to see ya! I DIDN'T know that you are in this school" he waved at her

"It's nice to know that you two know each other, well Ms. Yagami since you more know him than we, I'm asking you to tour him around the school"

"This will be a long day" Kari sighed shaking her head defeated

"I almost forgot to introduce my self I'm Takeru Takaishi. I'm half Japanese and half French ( I think so he is coz his grandparents are in France right) and because I am here I need to finish something and I hope I can finish it in a week and you can call me TK"

"Thank you Mr. Takaishi you can sit beside Ms. Kubayashi" TK nodded

Now he has a problem like the other new students, his problem is who Ms. Kubayashi is. Then Kari sighed "Mia, she is behind me." As a thank you he grinned at her and sat beside Mia.

That day seems so long for Kari and decided to show TK the school the following day. To TK it seems to be a normal day to a transfer student.

The Following Day…

"Listen! This is the cafeteria" Kari said pointing to the right. "that is the Restroom for boys" pointing forward "and beside it is for girls, there are also on the 3rd and 2nd floor of the high school building" she paused and started walking with TK following her " I assume that you already know where are the rooms, right?"

"Uhhh… I think so" he answered

"Well you must put those things I said to you to your head!!!" she nearly shouted

TK sighed ' why does somebody want to get her, she's so cruel, and hot headed. I bet it's just a game those guys wanted her is just playing trick on her. If she talked to them maybe she will just scold them and they will run as fast as they could coz she's a monster when she is angry…but the opposite when she smiled'

"This is the last, this is the gym" cutting TK's thought and they stopped in front of a huge building.

"Uh…obviously I don't this is the first time I stepped inside a gym" he answered shyly

"You what? You don't… hello"

"Well I'm always inside the dojo practicing Karate, ju-do, kendo, fencing, taekwando or when I'm outside I'm just practicing to use guns and I don't really know what it's really for"

" I don't believe you"

"Believe it or not but this is my first time to step in side a GYM"

"Okay fine (sighed) by the way I'm in the cheer leading club"

"So what? Do you want me to join in a sports club for you to see me everyday"

" What the hell are you saying?"

" Nothing forget it"

The 3rd day…

"Stop following me will you!" Kari shouted. They were in the middle of the street crossing.

"Why?" TK asked innocently

" Its becau-" her words was cut by TK running over her and swiped her feet off the ground causing them to fall to the sidewalk.

Then after 2 seconds a huge truck was running fast as if the driver is mad or crazy. The driver didn't care if the traffic light goes to stop or go, he just drive.

Kari swallowed hard thinking what have happened to her earlier. She looked at the blond boy, he was staring at the mad truck and then back to her. She was in his arms his body was close to her own. She don't really know what happened the only thing that she know is that she is alive and he is the one responsible and now he is also the one responsible of this embarrassment. Why? Because people are staring at them. It is not normal for them to see a young man wrapping his arms around a young woman sitting at the sidewalk, I mean just sidewalk no bench.

To escape from that embarrassment she SLAPPED him hard to his cheek. He unwrapped his arms from her and asked her "what? That was painful ya know!" while holding his cheek where she slapped him hard to make a boxer knock out.

She stood up and begun to walk away "don't come near me!!"

"WH-why?" he asked while following her asking for the reason why.

The 7th day, the last day of the deal

After what happened to them at the sidewalk Kari still ignore him but he didn't care he was so happy that this is the last day. From the day when they started to make the deal Kari didn't receive any bruises or wounds.

"Well kari, this is the last day! After this I will be free again" he informed with a small grin on his face

"As if I do care" she said coldly and walked away leaving him

While at the Yagami's House…

"Nancy, we need to do something. Your son must not stop protecting our daughter" Mr. Yagami begged but in a high tone of voice

"I know" Nancy responded

"So do you have any idea?" Mrs. Yagami asked

"Well I have one in my head right now"

The same day…

It is the end of the class. Kari is walking home alone because Mia, her best friend needs to stay for the school play practice.

"Hey wait will ya!" TK commanded

"Leave me the damn ALONE. I BEG you. I want to be alone." As she run away crying but before she could go away further someone grabbed her left wrist and pulled her to face him.

"Kari, what's wrong? Tell me why, I will lend you my ears to listen and my shoulders for you to cry on" with a voice so gentle accompanied by his concern blue eyes that she was trying to not look at.

'Should I tell him?' she asked herself and accidentally looked in to his eyes 'his eyes it's so mysterious yet so warm, there's a hidden sadness in his eyes but now it is filled with concern.' She thought as she stares at those eyes.

"Kari! Are you alright?" TK asked while releasing his grip.

She didn't think enough and ran away from him "leave me alone for now"

She run and run until she felt tired. She is in some sort of an abandoned building. She leaned on the building's wall. She rested for about 3 minutes and then stood straight and started to walk to go back home. But before she could make one step a tall guy forcefully grabbed her arm. "I said leave me alone TK" she yelled and slapped the guy. In her surprise it's not TK the guy was taller than TK and he looks like a ruffian person. "I'm sorry sir, I thought you are a friend of mine" she apologized.

"I, a friend of yours, are you joking , you're gonna hurt a friend of yours?" he asked still holding Kari.

"Well I said I'm SORRY" Kari shouted and struggling to break free.

"You hurt my face and no one can get away who hurt it" he informed with an evil grin is formed on his face and Kari hates those kinds of grins.

"Please I beg you, release me" Kari begged

"You are kari right?" he asked

"How…"

"So I'm right you're Kari" he started to drag her to the white limousine. "My boss wants to see you" he opened the door "get in" forcing her to get in. she wanted to cry, to cry very hard and to whisper her parent's name and Taichi, Hikaru (who could that be. You will know next chapter) and also her friends' names. She's ready to give in but her lips moved before her brain, she whispered the least person to come it was

"TK"

'He would not surly come cause of what I said to him and why would he bother, if I die he would no longer protect me. I know he wouldn't because he doesn't care for me. I'm sure he will be glad' the dropped into her knees a sign of despair.

"Finished?" he asked then drags her again into the car. She gave up and now going in the car until…

She felt like someone is pulling her forcing her not to get in. He looked and saw Tk was the one stopping her to get in.

"Are you alright?" he asked seriously and paused "you're hard to find and so fast to run, I think you must join to the track and field team…" He paused again "but because you called my name… I will come where ever you are and protect you" He smiled

He pulled Kari away from the guy and held her close. She leaned and cried. Now TK's attention was in the other guy's attention "what are you planning?" he asked in pure anger.

"Nothing special just kidnapping her" he replied coolly and with that evil grin again

"Kari please stand a side, I don't want you to get hurt" he smiled at her. His smile faded away when he looked at the guy. "You'll pay for…"

"For what? For what I've done to her." He finished it for TK

"Well that's one of the reason" scratching the back of her neck "but what I'm just saying you'll pay for… your hospital bills after we fight" TK finished his true sentence.

" You must be kidding you're just a kid. Well remember this face and the name is gorge" he informed. "The person that will destroy your pretty face."

"Go on you first" gorge said

"No, maybe you first. If I go first you'll gonna regret it!"

"No I promise I won't"

TK sighed and walked to gorge and as he passes by gorge felt the pain it's from his stomach. "The kid's fist how…how could he strike me that fast eno-enough for me not to notice?"

"Oh my… did I punch you so hard, sorry I can't help it"

"Why you" gorge charged to strike the blond but stopped when the boy's palm strikes his forehead.

Gorge knelt to the ground and asked TK "how could you do this… I've taken all of the martial arts in the whole Japan since last 2 years…how could you…a little kid defeated me?" he asked him until he falls to the ground. "You're just a high school student"

"Well, I'm not just an ordinary high school student. I'm studying all of the martial arts in the world…since I was 2 years old. I don't know why but I'm obliged to." With that gorge fainted. Now his attention is on Kari "c'mon kari we gotta go home" he said while dragging her.

After 3 steps Kari pulled herself and said "you can go home now, I will just go to him." She started to walk away but stopped when she heard an answer from him.

"NO!"

She turned to face him and ask "why?"

"I will not let you leave only with you're self, with no protection!" he shouted "you've got yourself enough for trouble in a day."

"But I just need to go to hi-"

"No buts"

"Please"

He sighed a signal of a defeat TK "okay you could go but… I'm coming with you"

Kari was shocked of what her stupid defender said but nodded and flashed a small grin to him but still curious.
