Chapter 2
Yolei sighed while looking out the window. Kari noticed and stepped in.
"What's wrong Yolei?" She asked.
"I wanted to ride with Tai so I could be with Ken, Davis yelled at me when I asked Tai.
Not that I don't love you guys."
"Davis can be a jerk sometimes. I'm surprised he didn't trade seats with you to be with Kari." Said T.k.
"That's because I told him girls only when he brought it up. Besides you, T.k, I actually enjoy sitting in the car with you for three hours." T.k's face turned red as a cherry. Matt chuckled at T.k's redness.
"Atta boy T.k"
The three hours went by pretty fast everyone was laughing and talking and having a good time. T.k kept Kari insight through the mirror the entire time and she noticed and smiled most the way until she and the other girls fell asleep. Tk continued watching her sleep. "She's so cute when she sleeps. Wish she would fall asleep in my arms. Maybe one day…" When they arrived T.k got out of the van and walked to the back. Kari had sat by the door. He opened the door and leaned over to Kari.
"Kari, Kari, We're here. Wake up." Kari opened her eyes to see T.k standing at the door smiling. "Sleepyhead, did you sleep well?" Kari smiled and unbuckled.
"Yeah, I did. Thanks!" Kari got out of the car.
"Okay everyone out of the van! We're here!" Said Matt. Tai's van pulled up a minute later.
"Are we late?" Tai asked?
"No, we just got here. How was the ride?"
"Alright. Davis fell asleep within an hour then the rest of us talked. Yours? You had the Women." Asked Tai.
"It was great. Interesting conversation and then everyone but T.k fell asleep." Matt whispered "Then T.k watched Kari sleep the entire way. She noticed he was looking at her a couple times and smiled." Tai smiled.
Everyone unloaded out of the two vans, got their belongings out, and walked to check-in to the Condo for their week long vacations. It was a fancy Condo complex, must have cost a fortune for their families. The buildings were huge and beautiful. They walked into the building and up to the clerk.
"Hello, here to rent or check in." The clerk asked.
"Check-in"
"Name?"
"Our tickets say Kamiya."
"Kamiya, you have multiple rooms. Okay, here are your keys. Two to each room. Enjoy" He gave him the room keys.
"Okay everyone, Matt and I went ahead and assigned rooms. Felt it would be better this way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flash back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"T.k. needs to have alone time with Kari to make this work. Why don't we assign rooms?" asked Matt.
"Okay twelve people. T.k and Kari together, Yolei and Ken."
"Obviously."
"Izzy, Joe... and Cody? Mimi and Sora, Then us and Davis."
"I don't mind rooming with Davis. I don't want him to mess up Joe or Izzy's vacation and we can keep an eye on him this way to make sure he doesn't get in the way of anything." Matt said fist bumping Tai.
"So here's how the rooming is. If anyone wants to change they can say something and we'll see what we can do." Said Tai. Everyone listened up. "Yolei and Ken." They smiled. "Kari and T.k" They blushed. "Izzy, Joe, and Cody. Mimi and Sora. And Then Me, Matt, and Davis. Any problems?" Asked Tai
"Yeah! Why is T.A with Kari? She shouldn't be with him!" Yelled Davis.
"Actually, I don't mind rooming with T.k. It'll be nice. T.k…" Kari said.
"It's fine with me as well. We will be fine. Tai, key please?" Tai handed T.k the keys and they walked to find the room. "Thanks guys. No pressure." Everyone else was given the room keys and went up to get settled after they left.
T.k and Kari walked into their room. It was huge. Decorated nicely. And more than they ever thought possible.
"There's only one bed. You take it T.k." Kari walked over to the window. "There's a place in the window where I can sleep." She said sitting down on the small pillows on the windowsill.
"No Kari, why don't we just share the bed. It's big enough for two people."
"O-okay…" Kari walked to the bed and sat down. T.k sat next to her. She blushed.
"… Kari, there's something I want to say. I want to do this right." He paused and looked her in the eyes. "Kari, ever since you came to the digital world the first time I started having feelings. I was very protective of you. Always worrying and wanting to protect you. Then it became our turn. We were partners. We brought Ken back from the darkness together. I want to keep the darkness away from you… What I'm trying to say is… Kari…" He took her hands. "Kari, will you do me the honor of letting me be your boyfriend? I promise I won't let anyone hurt you."
Kari sat on the bed nearly in tears. No one had ever come out with their feelings like that. When Davis tried he wasn't as sincere and sweet. She had turned away from his eyes while listening. Kari turned back to T.k and smiled. T.k held his breath, his heart beating rapidly.
"T.k, that was so sweet. No one has ever sat down with me and done that… Yes. I would be honored to be your girlfriend!" She smiled and hugged him. T.k released his breath.
"Thank you, Kari. Thank you." He said wrapping his arms around her.
There was a knock at the door a minute later and the door opened. "Why didn't I lock the door?" Thought Tk.It was only Sora. "Thank goodness"
"Hey Sora, what's going on?" Asked Kari.
"The rest of the girls are going to go shopping for dresses for the formal wanted to know if you wanted to come."
"T.k, you don't mind do you?"
"Not at all, I'd love to join you ladies as well. If that's alright?"
Sora smiled. "Of course it is. Ken is also coming to help Yolei. He's going to buy a shirt and tie to match whatever she picks. He's just hoping it isn't anything Pink." She giggled. Kari smiled.
"We could do that too, T.k!" He smiled.
"Okay. We're going to leave in about fifteen minutes. So meet us downstairs."
Sora left to go get ready to shop. T.k stood up and closed the door. "Kari, let me do this right…" He motioned for Kari to stand up. He took her hand. "Kari, would you like to join me for a romantic night of dancing?"
"I'd love to."
