Davis sat nervously in the school's computer room, waiting for TK
and Kari to get back. The others were with him, but were not as
nervous. [What could they be doing,] he thought. [TJ had better
not be trying anything funny on Kari or else-.]

Suddenly, TK appeared right out of the screen and then dashed out
of the room as quickly a she could. Cody and Yolei called after
him, but he didn't pay them any mind. Immediately, Cody gave chase
after his friend, yelling "TK, wait up!"

Ken and Yolei were puzzled. "Now what was that all about?" Ken asked.
"And what happened to his hat?"

Davis immediately sat up. "More importantly, what happened to Kari?!"
As if on cue, Kari came out of the computer, but she crashed into
Davis, landing on top of him. He was crushed to the floor, face
first with Kari sitting on his back.

Kari felt it strange that she had a rough return to the real world,
and then a soft landing. Shaking off this, she stood up and faced
Yolei, still clutching TK's hat in her hand. "Which way did TK go?"

Yolei said, "He took off pretty quick after he came back, and Cody's
chasing him down right now. Say, why do you have his-?"

"Thanks," Kari said before dashing out of the room, never letting Yolei finish.

Once again, Yolei was confused. "Did I miss something?"

Davis got up and also ran out, but after Kari. He never lost sight
of her as she ran out to the front of the school. "Kari, wait for me!"

Kari stopped and waited for him, but with an annoyed look on her
face. [It's time I told him up front.] "Now what is it?"

Davis quickly caught up with her. "What happened between you and
Whatshisname? Why did he run away so fast after coming back from
the Digital World? Did he do something to you?"

Kari held up her hand, showing Davis her one finger. "First of all,
his name is TK! Do you understand that, Davis Motomiya? T! K! It's
not hard to get it right." She then held up another finger, counting off what she had to tell him.

"Second, what happened between him and me in the Digital World just
recently is none of your business. All you need to know is that
we had a misunderstanding and I need to fix it. Third, I want to
make this absolutely clear to you: I am NOT your girlfriend! Never
was, and never will be! I'm sorry, but you and I are only friends.
I don't like you the way that you like me. My heart belongs to TK
and has been since the day he and I first met when we were just
8 years old. I've tried gently to give you clues that I'm not interested
in you, but they were in vain. You've forced me to tell you straight
out that you're just a friend and nothing more to me. I have had
it with your constant asking me out and spying on me whenever I'm with TK-!"

"OKAY, OKAY," Davis screamed. "I GET THE MESSAGE!" He didn't like
what she had told him, but there was nothing he could do to change
her mind. "But I am concerned about you, as a friend. You do realize
that, don't you? I don't want you to get hurt-."

"You're NOT my brother," Kari exclaimed. "I don't need you to protect
me. I can take care of myself. I'm glad you're concerned, but you
don't have to be my protector."

Davis nodded. "Just be careful, okay? I can accept that TK's the
one for you... but that doesn't mean I have to like it." [Or trust him.]

Kari sighed heavily. "I am sorry about telling you like this-."

"I had it coming, I guess."

Just then, a blue sports car pulled up beside the two, and a window
came down. Kari saw Tai at the wheel. "I was just on my way home,"
he said. "And I saw you two out here. Figured I could give you both a ride home."

Davis shook his head. "I'll walk, thanks." He turned around and
started walking. "See you around," he said, not looking back. [I
can wait, Kari. After all, Tai's waiting for Sora. If he can do it, so can I...]

Kari quietly got into the back of the car before Tai drove off.
"So," he said. "How was your day? Anything exciting happen?"

Kari didn't look up, but stared at TK's hat. "Nothing much," she
said. [Other than me giving TK his first blowjob, but I can't tell you that.]

Tai then noticed that Kari was holding something. He recognized
TK's hat right away. "If you don't mind my asking, why do you have TK's hat?"

Kari tried to think up a reason that would be believable. "He...
forgot it! He saw something in the Digital World that spooked him, and he just forgot it."

Tai raised an eyebrow. "What exactly spooked him?"

"I think it had something to do with Gatomon and Patamon..."

At this, Tai snickered. "So, those two finally got together? I can
guess what TK probably saw, and I don't blame him. I'd be running
scared, too, if I feared what Gatomon would do to him for spying on them."

Kari sighed with relief. [Sorry, Gatomon. I'll make it up to you
later.] "So, how was soccer practice?"

At this, Tai frowned. "Sora skipped again to see Matt's band rehearse."

[Nice going, Kari! You know Tai's still in love with her.] "I'm sorry-."

"Forget it! That's just the way it is, you know? I love her, but
can't have her. Just like Davis loves you but he can't get you because you love TK."

Kari's cheeks turned red. "I'm that obvious, huh?"

A smirk grew on Tai's face. "Only to me, little girl. So, when will you tell him?"

"Soon."

"I hope so. For your sake, I hope you don't tell him too late...
or you'll end up missing your chance." [Just like me. Oh, Sora!
I've tried to let it go, but I can't! I love you now, as I loved you then...]

Suddenly, Kari said something. "Tai, would you drop me off at Sora's?"

************************************************************************

[Why do I continue this?]

Matt placed his hand on Sora's, stopping her in the middle of massaging
his shoulders. It didn't feel the same anymore: her gentle touch
soothing him after a long and hard rehearsal. They were in his apartment
now; just minutes after his band called it a day. His father was
still at work and wouldn't be home for a while now.

Sora moved her free hand off her boyfriend. "What's wrong?"

Matt never looked at her. He just sat on his bed, with her behind
him. "I don't feel like a massage right now, is all." [I want to break up with you.]

"I see," Sora replied softly. [This isn't good anymore.]

Matt closed his eyes. [Why can't I tell her?] "Do you want you-?"

"You know my answer," Sora cut him off, reaching around to unzip
Matt's pants. [I feel like a whore.]

Matt sighed as he felt his girlfriend touching his cock, making
him hard. [I feel like I'm giving myself to a slut.] He turned around slowly and kissed Sora.

[The love is gone,] they both thought.

Matt reached for Sora's shirt, but she pushed him onto his back.
"Let me do the work," she said softly before pulling off her shirt.
They kissed again as she unbuttoned Matt's shirt and then trailed
her lips down his bare chest. She stopped once to lick his nipple
while pulling down his pants and boxers. [Just do what you've done before... imagine it's Tai.]

Matt closed his eyes and let Sora suck his dick, moaning as usual.
[This is Mimi who's fucking you, not Sora.] He listened as she sucked
him while taking off her skirt and panties. He wondered if she was still dry.

Then, Sora sat up and undid her bra, slowly, in front of him. He
watched, but not with interest, as she then began to finger her
slit, getting herself wet before she would sit on him, engulfing
his cock in her pussy. It wasn't long before Sora humped herself
into orgasm, gasping out loud. Matt came just after her, grunting quietly.

The love was gone. So why couldn't they break up?

Sora dressed slowly, letting Matt watch. "How's TK doing?"

Matt just laid on his back, watching. "I'm gonna give him a call
in a few minutes to check. Haven't talked with him in over a week,
when he told me he was thinking of asking Kari out."

Sora smiled. "It took him long enough. I only hope Davis doesn't beat him to the punch."

"Tai told me Kari's in love with TK, too."

Sora froze, right when she was about to do the hook of her bra.
Tai. He was her best friend, and her first crush. So how did she
end up with Matt? "Are you sure?"

Matt sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "He told me in a serious
tone, like when he told me how he really felt about you and I."

Now Sora remembered why she chose Matt. It was to get Tai jealous
so he would fight for her. It didn't work out as she had hoped,
because she fell in love with Matt, or so she thought. "Maybe...
I should talk with Kari about this."

"Good idea. Not that I don't trust Tai, but... you get the idea."

Sora finished dressing. "I do," she lied. "I'll call later." With that, she left.

Matt put back on his boxers and got under his bed covers. [I don't
love you, Sora... I love Mimi.] Mimi. If only she hadn't moved to
America. But, she had, and so Matt took whatever girl he could on
the rebound. Excluding Jun, of course. That was why he supposedly
fell in love with Sora: to try and forget about Mimi and keep Jun
off his back. The Jun part worked, but he never forgot about Mimi. He longed for her.

"I need to find a way to break up with Sora... and maybe get her
with Tai." He felt guilty about taking his friend's crush from him,
and it slowly weighed on his conscience over time.

************************************************************************

Cody managed to catch up with TK near their apartment building,
both of them nearly out of breath. "You had... your fun..." the
young boy started. "But... I want... answers..."

TK looked at him. "Answers?"

They stopped to finish catching their breath. "Why did you just
bolt out of the computer room so quickly after coming back? Did
something happen between you and Kari?"

TK looked away. "...I don't wanna talk about it."

"TK-!"

"Cody, I'm sorry, but... I just don't want to talk just yet, okay? It's really personal."

Just then, Cody had a disturbing thought. "Kari's not gay, is she?"

TK was shocked. "Now what make you think that?! I'm her best friend,
and I know for a fact that she's not gay." [What she did to me earlier
certainly proved that.] "Look, if I say I'll tell you later, will
you give me some time to think about how I can tell you this?"

"If it's serious-."

TK nodded. "It is." [Boy, is it ever! How do I tell a 13-year-old,
especially if it's Cody, that a girl licked and sucked on my dick?!]

The young boy thought for a moment. "Will a week be enough time?"

Sighing with relief, TK nodded again. "Thanks, Cody. Now, if you
don't mind, I'm gonna go rest for a bit." [No wonder Matt sleeps
like a log lately! I guess having sex tires you out.]

************************************************************************

When Sora got home, she was surprised that her mother had said Kari
was waiting for her in her room. [What's she doing here,] she thought
as she climbed the stairs of her home. [Oh well. I was going to
speak to her anyway.] She found Kari sitting at the desk. "What's up?"

"Can your mom hear us up here?"

Sora was puzzled by Kari's question. "Not when I close the door,"
she said, doing so. "You saved me a trip, by the way. I was gonna ask you about TK."

"That's why I'm here." Kari blushed a deep crimson before speaking
again. "Sora, what was it like when you started having sex with
Matt?"
