Disclaimer: Sorry for another long update, my great grandfather died so I took a week off from writing. Good news though I figured out the ending for this fic but don't worry it won't be for a LONG time. OK I hope you enjoy the chapter, I'm finally going to tie in season 4.

Chapter 4:

Laws of Nature

Kari watched the clock as she waited for class to end. In the past few years she had learned to hate Mondays. They always seemed to drag on forever and every class seems to have a review of what happened the week before. The only thing interesting that happened all day was during gym class. Actually it wasn't as much interesting as it was strange. They were playing basketball and when TK got the ball is was almost like he had no idea what to do. He started to run with it in his hands away from the other players until the gym teacher blew the whistle at him. Then he seemed to go into a strange daze then was suddenly dribbling like normal but he'd toward the wrong hoop. About halfway across the court he seemed to sneer like someone just insulted him then immediately turned back around. Kari lost her train of thought as she heard the sound of the final bell. She quickly grabbed her bag and left the classroom. Five minutes later as she approached her locker to drop off some extra books she found her boyfriend waiting for her, "Hey Taky, what happened to you today in gym?"

"Oh you mean the traveling incident; I was just kind of distracted. I just have a lot of things on my mind lately," TK lied as he rubbed the back of his head with his gloved hand.

"Anything you'd like to talk about? You know you can tell me anything right?" inquired Kari as she looked into the blonde's eyes. She suddenly got the strangest feeling like he was trying to reach out to her but couldn't for some unknown reason.

A half-smile crept over his face as he released a small laugh then grabbed her shoulder and returned her gaze, "Of course I do but you don't have to worry. It's nothing important so why don't we just drop it. Hey I've got an idea, how'd you like to take a ride on my new bike," the blond asked as let go of his girlfriend's shoulders and relaxed his own.

"Sounds fun, though are you sure you know how to drive with a passenger?" the brunette concernedly asked as she pushed back her bangs with her right hand and tucked the hair behind her ears.

"I guess I won't know till we try," TK chuckled as he put his arm around the girl's neck.

Ten minutes later TK drove out of the school parking lot on his motorcycle with his girlfriend sitting behind him, desperately clutching onto the boy's waist. "K…oo….air ar…e g…ing," TK heard his girlfriend say.

"What did you say? I couldn't here you over the engine and all this air resistance. You'll have to speak louder," the blond told her. (he's in front so sound would travel better)

"I said, where are we going?" screamed back Kari as she reinforced her grip on Takeru's waist.

"It's a surprise, but I think you'll like it," TK told her with a satisfied grin on his face that remained unseen through his helmet. After five minutes of riding TK finally stopped in front of his apartment building, "I just need to get something from my room and drop off my bag. It should only take a few minutes, come on let's go."

When the two teenagers reached TK's apartment he pulled out his key and opened the door then lead the way into his room. "So TK where is that thing you wanted to get?" Kari asked as she looked around the room but turned around as she heard the sound of a closing door.

"Its right in front of me," he said in a suave tone of voice then drew Kari into a deep french kiss. Finding it all very romantic Kari decided to go along it and see what he had in mind. The girl suddenly felt TK's hand slide from her shoulder down her arm, taking her spaghetti strap with it. She immediately pushed the blond away and backed away, tripping backwards onto TK's bed in the process, "TK what the hell are you doing!"

TK could hear the fear in her voice and it felt erotic to him and he slowly crept closer, "I think you know," he said then lifted his shirt over his head then began to crawl onto the bed toward her, "I'm a male, you're a female it's perfectly natural and besides it could be fun."

"Bu...bu...but what about your mom and your uncle won't they here us?" the frightened girl asked, desperately trying to find a way to escaped from the situation.

"My mom won't be home until six and my uncle's been at work past midnight for a few days now. So come on give me want I need," the teenager said with a lecherous smile on his face as he sat up on his knees and pulled the girl gently toward himself.

"Well if you insist," she said in a misleading seductive tone then slapped him across the face then slid herself off the bed.

She tried to make a run for the bedroom door but felt a hand tightly grab her around the wrist. She looked back into the now enraged and standing up TK's face and desperately tried to wriggle free, "So you want to play rough do you, well I can play rough to and I always get my way," the blond sneered as he tightened his hold on the girl's wrist.

"Taky what the hell is wrong with you! Let me go!" Kari screamed as she attempted to pry his left hand off of her.

"There is nothing wrong with me; the only thing I see that's wrong is I have a disobedient girlfriend. Maybe I should teach you what happens when you don't listen to your man," Takeru told her as he curled his free hand into a fist but before he had a chance he felt a great pain between his legs, then watched as Kari made a dash for the door.

The brunette opened the door then stood in the doorway for a moment, looking back at the now uncompensated male laying on the floor grabbing his pelvis, "I guess that's not necessary because you're not my man anymore. Goodbye TK."

Ten Minutes Later at the Matsuki's Bakery

"Hey Takato there's been a flour spill in the back, I need you to go sweep it up," Mr. Matsuki told his son in a kindly way.

"Sure Dad I mean 'yes Sir your wish is my command'" Takato laughed then headed into the kitchen. When he entered he was immediately spotted by one of his parent's employees and point toward an area on the floor that was completely covered in the white powder, "Whoa what happened? It's all over the place."

"Sorry Kid, I think there was a hole in the bag. I guess I'm lucky you're here Sport or I'd have to do it myself," the man smiled then patted the slightly annoyed Takato on the head.

The teenager mumbled incoherently to himself as he began to sweep the flour into a small pile. "Hey Takato there's a girl here to see you!" Mrs. Matsuki yelled into the kitchen.

'A girl? I wonder who she's talking about?' the boy wondered as he leaned the broom against the wall and he removed his cleaning apron. As he opened the door to the store area He saw Kari's face, mascara running down to her chin. Before he even had time to react she had already launched herself onto him and was crying into his shoulder. "Kari what's wrong? Are you ok?"

"It's TK, he… he tried to violate me Kato," Kari whimpered to him as she slowly drenched the teenager's shirt.

"Oh my God, I never thought he was that type of person. I guess you really can judge a person by their first impression. I'm so sorry Kari," Takato told her then wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to comfort the unfortunate girl.

"That's just the thing; he doesn't normally act that way. He's usually so kind and sweet but now he's acting like a real jerk. I think something happened to him, he's been really out of it all day and when I tried to ask him what it was he told me it was nothing then avoided it. But I think it really is something but he won't tell me, I wish I knew," the brunette whimpered.

"Listen Kari I think I can find out what happened to TK, it's hard to explain but just trust me when I say I have my sources," the boy told her then let go of her as he felt her back up.

"Thanks Kato you're awesome but the truth is I came here to ask if you would walk me home. After what just happened I'm a little afraid that TK might come after me and I'd just feel safer if I wasn't alone," the girl sniffled as she wiped the tears underneath her eyes, smearing her mascara even more in the process

"Of course I just need to get permission from my Dad to leave work early though I'll probably have to work on Friday," the male brunette smiled making the other do the same.

Forty minutes and one ride on the elevator later the two teenagers reached a door with a hanging sign that read "Kamiya". Kari opened the door then turned back to her friend, "Thanks Kato, it was really nice of you to walk me home. Do you want to come inside and get a soda or something, I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind."

"OK why not, it is pretty hot outside and a soda would be good. I guess I could stay for five or ten minutes," Takato replied politely then followed the girl into her apartment.

"Sit down on the couch, I'll be right back with some sodas," smiled Kari as she led the boy over to the sofa then went into the kitchen.

Takato began to look around at his surroundings and spotted a table leaning across the adjacent wall. On top of it were a few photographs, one of which seemed very familiar. Takato stood up and walked over t the table to get a better look and quickly realized the reason why the photo looked familiar was because it was the same picture he had seen the week before in TK's room of eight children. Next to it was a much more recent picture. It was of a slightly younger Kari in a bikini next to a shirtless brown-haired boy of the same age who wore a green hat and a pair of pilot goggles. The teenager heard footsteps and turned around to see Kari holding two cans of soda, "Hey Kari, ooh orange soda, my favorite."

Kari laughed as she handed over the drink then both teenagers opened them simultaneously, "So were you enjoying the photos?"

"Yeah, I think TK has this one in his room," Takato stated as he pointed at he photo the turned back to the one next to it, "But I was wondering who's this guy in the picture next to it, an old boyfriend?"

"Are you kidding, that's my cousin Takuya and me two summers ago when we went to the beach," Kari informed him as she burst out into laughter.

"Hmm that's embarrassing, listen I really have to be going it takes awhile to get back to my apartment from here and I wanna be home by nightfall," Takato told her then headed toward the door but was held back in a similar fashion as Kari had been earlier.

"Sorry I just really wanted to tell you that I'm really thankful to you for walking me home today," the brunette told him and before she knew it she found herself pressing her lips against his.

They both were red in the face and quickly pulled back, "I really should be going, bye Kari."

"Bye Taky."

Finally done, I've want to write this chapter for awhile and it turned out a lot better then I thought it would. I really hope you enjoyed it and that I get a lot of reviews o and also I'm adding Kari to the character descriptions along with Takuya. K till next time, remember to R&R
