Jack watched her from across the street in an cafe overlook. Kari was at the same coffee place she went to each morning. No matter how much he pestered her, she never called the police or reported him, or had him kicked out of there. Not once. That was Kari Kamiya, no matter what you did she saw the good in you. Even if she didn't want to. He looked at her for a moment. "God, she's beautiful as always." He said to himself. No matter what she did she always looked beautiful to him. Even though now she had long hair, when he knew she preferred it short. She wore a long pink jacket, a color she insisted on wearing every day in some manner. And he smelled her German Chocolate Cake with two sugars and one creamer. Wait a minute, there were two cups. "Dammit what is he doing there?" He said under his breath. "He" was Takeru T.K Takaishi. Well in this world he's T.K Ishida. Why is that? In this world his parents never split up. They stayed together for their kids. That should be great right? Well they ended up resenting each other even more and it grew abusive. T.K Watched his father abuse his mother for a few years until he called the police one night after it got out of hand, his father was arrested but damage was done. His mother couldn't function anymore on her own, she flunked out of her night school and never became that great reporter she wanted to be while caring for two sons. And one night, she hung herself after making sure the two boys would be able to live without her. Matt turned his life around and became a high selling pop artist at a young age of 12. T.K moved at the fact that at how justice could help people became consultant for the police at 15. Now at age 17, he's already a high ranking officer of the Tokyo Police Department. And now, that self righteous prick is dating Kari Kamiya, a young and upcoming Photo Artist. But that shouldn't be, none of it should be. He thought to himself. Why is that? What caused it? I'm gonna find out. But I can't do it while he's there. T.K, however will have me arrested for badgering her. I gotta get him away from her. But how...? He thought quietly to himself but grinned as he thought of something devious.

Kari sipped her coffee as her favorite kind German Chocolate Cake went down her throat. She smiled at T.K, her perfect boyfriend. She has had a perfect morning and that crazy guy hadn't shown up yet. "So how's work?" Kari asked quietly, hiding an air of happiness behind her voice. T.K smiled at her. "Normal, nothing interesting. Police work isn't all that's cracked out to be." He said playing with his stir stick in his coffee. "How's art school? Weren't they putting one of your latest photos in a gallery?" He asked her trying to get his mind of work. She smirked at his trying to change the subject. "Well yeah but it's kind embarrassing to get all the attention." She said blushing a little bit. "Your a great photographer, Kari, you doubt your abilities too much. I however..." T.K said encouraging her. "Can see them clear as day." He reached out and put his hand on hers. She blushed some more as he leaned in close her lips slowly getting closer to his, but suddenly a radio from T.K's waist screeches. "Sorry I gotta take this." He said sadly as he got up and walked away from her. She frowned this always seemed to happen when they were about to kiss. He came back with that same frown on his face that he always had when he had to leave. "Sorry i gotta-" He started to say but she cut him off. "Go? I know, and it's okay now get going." She said with a smile like she always did. T.K smiled back as he ran off, not looking back at her. Kari sighed and as she was about to get up, a familiar person took T.K's place. "That can't be good, a boyfriend who always leaves at that special romantic moment." Kari frowned as she recognized who it was. Renowned author of the fictional story: The Digital World Chronicles, Jack Archer. "I see you've come to see me again Mr. Archer." She said sitting back down though thoroughly irritated. "And as usual on time, I can't seem to start my day without you nowadays." She said with a big hint of sarcasm in her voice. "But you never seem to show up when Takeru is around." She added smiling slightly. "Well I'm a shy person you see, Ms. Kamiya. I'm not good with meeting new people. Us eccentric authors have to keep up appearances." Jack replied putting his hands behind his head. Kari began putting her stuff away as Jack picked up one of her photos of and examined it. "It's lackluster, has no real feel to it. It's has no passion. Living in this world has had its effects on you." Kari frowned again at him. "Well you show up, interrupt my morning coffee, insult my boyfriend, and say my art has no passion-" Jack cut her off. "Well since I sat down you haven't touched your coffee, your boyfriend is a self-righteous prick whose views on good and evil are seriously messed up due to his upbringing and apparently doesn't know when he's being messed with a makeshift radio made out of a cellphone." Jack explained as he pulled something out of his pocket. His cellphone. It's back was opened and some wires were exposed. Kari looked with the deepest hatred she could muster, but Jack could see she that yeah she was angry but her better traits suppressed it."As I was saying let's pick this up tomorrow were we left off. Okay bye." She began to say, getting up to leave but he followed after her. "But I have something to talk about with you.-" "You can tell me...how about never?." She said trying to move away from him, but he kept after her. "But I need to tell you now." He said stepping in front of her and sighing and getting a serious look on his face. "Okay this little dance of ours isn't getting anywhere, I've been tailing to each for six months straight, minus weekends cause I like to sleep in. And I think you could do without the hassle of me bugging you. Let me walk you to school its about a 20 minutes from this very spot, your class exactly 47 minutes from now. We have a talk and if after that if you don't believe what I have to say, I'll leave you alone forever. You have my word. Hell, you can even put a restraining order on me." She looked at him skeptically but nodded slightly as his prospect of him leaving her alone forever was too good to pass up. "Fine. I have your word?" She asked looking at him sternly. Jack Merely grinned, bowed and gestured for her to lead the way.
