Tk and Kari sat a good distance away from each other on the side of the road; they had been like that for the last hour, neither had spoken. Kari's back was facing Tk's avoiding his all knowing eyes. Her coat lay discarded besides her.

"I'm sorry, Tk." Her voice gave off the appearance that she was crying.

"Kari—"

"You were right," She turned around and crawled toward him, "I wasn't ready. I wanted to be ready, but I'm not." Tears rolled down he cheeks. How many more tears could she have?

Tk reached up and wiped them away. "Kari, please don't cry."

Kari tried to stop her tears but they kept coming. "Do remember that time in 8th grade when Davis tripped and spilled a plate of spaghetti on you?" Kari smiled, "Tai chased him around the house and eventually pummeled him to the ground." Kari let out a small laugh. "Or what about when Yolie first told everyone she was going out with Ken? All three of us went to spy on them, but we got caught. While she was yelling at Davis we snuck away and got ice cream."

Kari laughed again, "I felt so bad for him, though."

"Yeah, I guess he didn't deserve all of her wrath."

Kari's tears stopped and she began her own story, "Remember when we were in the digital world and Agumon got his big head stuck in a hole in a tree?"

"Yeah, and we all lined up and tugged to get it out."

They both started laughing hysterically, but suddenly a howl went threw the still air. Their laughing ceased, "What was that?" Kari whispered her voice shaking.

Tk stood up and looked in the direction of the noise, "It sounds like a wolf or something."

Kari stood up and clenched onto his arm, her grip was rigid and painful. Another howl sounded, it was even louder. "Look!" A straggly looking wolf appeared from the forest. Its rib cage protruded from its body giving a starved look.

Tk pushed Kari behind him and backed up slowly. The wolf started running straight for them, but suddenly stopped and sniffed Kari's coat on the ground. He bit it with his teeth and shook his head.

"Noooo!" Kari screamed and dashed forward towards the wolf and coat. The wolf lifted up his head and prepared to pounce on Kari. It leapt into the air and was about to come cascading down on her, but Tk pushed her out of the way.

Kari skidded ten feet and looked up scared silly. The wolf was on top of Tk and clawing his chest, blood slowing loosely. Tk was trying to fight back but wasn't having the best of luck, but then he managed to kick the wolf in the stomach causing the wolf to move off of him. He stood up and kicked the wolf again; it let out a scream and ran off into the forest. Tk ran a few feet after it, just to make sure it didn't come back.

Then, he turned around and began walking to where Kari still lay, but on the way he collapsed to the ground

Kari popped up and ran to him, "Tk are you alright!?!" Her voice was hysterical, especially since she saw all the blood dripping off his chest.

"I'm fine, just a tad bit tired." Tk said his eyes fighting to stay open. "One question though, why'd you want your coat so badly?"

Kari's eyes widened, "I'm so sorry, Tk." He voice was full of guilt and at last she seemed to have run out of tears. "It had a present in it, though."

"Kari a present wasn't worth your safety."

"But it was a present for you, telling you I love you." Kari cupped his face in her hand. "You didn't have to save me."

"But I love you, too."

"ooooh Tk," Kari's heart exploded, she reached down and gave him a giant hug around the next and a kiss on the cheek.

"I should get hurt more often, especially if I get greeted this heroically." Tk said drosily.

Kari gave a smile and ripped of the bottom half of her shirt, "I'd rather you didn't." She laid the fabric on his cuts and pressed hard to stop the bleeding. Tk let out a booming shout while his face winced. "I'm sorry," Kari said apologetically, "but it needs to stop bleeding." Tk just nodded and endured the pain his face still scrunched up.

After about fifteen minutes the bleeding had stopped. Kari tossed the fabric a few feet away from them and ripped off another section from her shirt. Now it hung just barely below her breasts and showed of her flattering stomach and curves. She took the strip and tied it around his chest making a bandage. "There," she said giving him a soft kiss on his injury, "all better."

"Kari?" Tk said in a slight daze.

"Yes."

"I think my cheek hurts, too." Kari looked up and saw the sweet smile on his face.

"O'really."

"Yea."

Kari leaned up and kissed him on both cheeks, "all better?"

Responding sleepily he said, "A little, but now my lips hurt." Kari moved to his lips and gave a little peck. "They still hurt a little." Kari bent down and gave him another soft kiss. When she started to sit up, Tk fallowed her and caught her lips. This time, pulling her back down into a much more erotic kiss.

Tk reached his tongue into her mouth and began wrestling with hers. After a few minutes Kari playfully bit his tongue and he back out. "Are you feeling better, now?"

Tk didn't respond, instead he had finally fallen into a deep sleep.
