This is my first try at a lemon. Be gentle. ^_^

This is merely the beginning of the story. I'll post more when I've written more.

******

This is a lemon. If you don't know what that means, leave. If you think it's a yellow citrus fruit with a tangy, sour taste, leave. If you think it has anything to do with meringue and a nice, flaky crust, leave. If you think it's the major ingredient in a bittersweet liquid most commonly drunk during the summer months, leave. If you think it's something that goes best with lime in a soft drink, leave. If you think you can impale it on the rim of your glass of iced tea, leave.

If you DO read this, and discover that a lemon is NOT what you thought it was, you have learned your lesson, you little goober, and don't you go bothering me with your whining and petty lawsuits. I have better things to do, like listening to my toenails grow. Or my hair. The hair sounds especially nice in July and August. ^_^

If you do have a clue as to what a lemon is, enjoy. Or not. You decide.

This is Season 01, or, rather, shortly thereafter.

And on with the show!

I JUST LOVE YOU

by _agz_


Tai was jacking off to a different beat, his eyes fluidly dancing from panel to panel.

"Oh, Hotaru-chan..." he whispered, his body shifting with every downstroke his hand made on his rigid phallus. His other hand, while not nearly as active, was nonetheless busy as it held open Tai's copy of the "Submission Saturn" doujinshi. Some of the pages were visibly crusted together, and, as Tai did some manual maintenance, white flakes could be seen falling away from the mass and landing gently on the equally white sheets, where they dropped into blank anonymity.

Something in his balls twitched, and Tai gripped his dick tighter. He was almost there. Climax was just over a rise that was masturbation itself, he could see it from here. Just a little more, almost there, three, two, one--

"TAI!"

He froze, hand stuck on an upstroke.

"TAI!"

He thawed, and the hand holding the magazine flipped it closed and, in a flash of flesh and paper, dipped in and out of the crevice between the mattress and the frame of the bed. Now you see it, now you don't. There is nothing up my sleeve.

"TAI!" He could hear the ominous sound of shoes, thumping on the hardwood floor of the apartment, coming down the hall, coming towards *him*. Panicked, he shoved his still-hard member into his underwear.

"TAI!" A rattle as a hand closed around the doorknob. A subsequent rattle as it began to turn.

*Where the hell are my clothes?!* Tai raged silently, looking all around for the pair of brown shorts he always wore, and had put on the edge of his bed just before beginning his little foray into the world of self-pleasure. Now they seemed to have disappeared, maybe sucked into one of the many transdimensional vortexes that occur naturally in a young person's bedroom.

Tai tossed his sheets aside with frustration. Wherever the shorts had been, they were gone now, and that was a Bad Thing.

"TAI!"

He threw a blanket over his lap just as the door swung open with startling force, slamming against the wall and bouncing back, vibrating slightly.

"TAI!"

"God! Don't you knock?!" Tai yelled, throwing one hand up in the air in exasperation. The other hand held the blanket tightly against his body. He took no risks.

"TAI!" Kari yelled a seventh time, both of her hands clenched into fists, arms bent and held near her body. "Tai, there's a carnival being held in Kichigaisakka Park today! Can you take me? Canya canya canya?" She bounced from toe to heel with excitement, rocking like some mad inmate.

Tai ran his fingers through his hair in irritation. "Can't Mom take you? I'm busy." Beneath his other hand, his erection twitched, and he almost smiled.

"Nope!" Kari chirped cheerfully. "Mom 'n Dad are gone. It's just you 'n me!"

"WHAT?" Tai bellowed. "When did they leave?!"

"Just now. Mom said they won't be back for a few hours." She stuck the tip of a finger in her mouth and looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully. "Daddy said they were going to a motel. I don't have any idea why."

Tai's face abruptly did its impression of a ripe tomato. "Er...I have no clue, Kari!" he said shrilly, waving his free hand in the air, as if trying to ward Kari's curiosity away from the thought. "I wouldn't think about it, if I were you."

Kari looked at him, and for a fleeting moment Tai thought she was going to call him out on his lie. He gulped and tried frantically to think up some more bullshit to feed to her.

With a big, toothy smile, Kari said "Okay!" which relieved a considerable amount of pressure from Tai's chest. Then, holding her hands together behind her back and swiveling her hips slightly, she repeated "Can you take me?" Her eyes immediately became wet brown polished crystals, begging silently. "Please?"

It was this puppy-dog look that finally broke Tai's resistance. "Fine, fine! I'll take you! Now can you get out? I have to get dressed."

"'Kay! Make it quick!" Kari hopped out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Tai sighed with relief. Maybe now he could finish masturbati--

Tai blinked, and looked down.

"Aw, shit," he groaned, as he looked despondently down at his erection, which was slowly shrinking before his very eyes, as though it had somehow sprung a leak and the blood inside was swiftly fleeing its tissue prison. Instead of the mighty spear of flesh and fluid that it had once been, it was now a measly little pocket-knife, flimsy and useless, a tiny pink worm.

"Well," he grumbled, "I guess that's that." He pulled up his underwear and began the hunt for his shorts.

***

Once the door was closed behind her, Kari pumped her fist.

*Yes!* she thought, grinning. *Today is my day! Ohhhhh, today is gonna be GREAT!*


Still grinning, she did a little spin across the floor, the spin terminating with her hands clasped together in front of her, eyes gazing up at the ceiling, big pink hearts inflating inside them.

"Oh, Tai..."

******

Whaddaya think, eh? It's not too bad right now, but I worry what havoc I'll wreak when I get to the sex scene...

agz [/i]

Nice job, AGZ. I can't wait for more ^_^

Thanks, Waru. ^^

I write in scenes, so consider this Scene 2, Take 3. ^_^

I'm building up to the sex (read as: avoiding it for as long as possible), so you're gonna have to wait a little while if that's what you're looking for. It's going to be the story's climax (pun intended), or somesuch. ^_^

Enjoy Scene 2.

******

"Tai?"

Tai kept walking.

"Tai?"

He kept walking.

"Tai? Tai--"

He clenched his fists twice, listening with a strange satisfaction as the joints in his fingers made scattered popping noises, and kept walking.

"Tai?" Kari repeated, one hand playing nervously with the edge of her shirt. "Tai, you--"

Tai's ears stopped hearing three seconds after he heard his name. He cracked his neck this time, turning it this way and that, that way and this, side to side, up and down, and kept walking. They were quite a ways from their apartment building now.

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!"

Tai jumped, arms jerking backwards, his shoulders hunched and his head jutted forward in a sort of full-body spasm. His eyes were huge and his teeth were gritted behind stretched lips. He stood stock-still on the sidewalk, looking like a freakishly realistic statue of a high-grade schizophrenic.

He remained frozen in that pose for a dozen or so seconds, then, with markedly jerky movements, he turned his head to look at his sister.

Kari smirked and let her whistle drop back against her chest, the little ball inside jingling merrily. "Tai, you forgot something."

Tai parted his still-grit teeth just enough to say "*What*?" before letting his jaws snap closed again.

"The money," Kari said simply.

Tai stared.

Kari rolled her eyes and rummaged in her pocket. "It's in here *somewhere*..." she muttered. "Ah! Here." She held out her hand, which was stuffed with bills of various values. "Mom told me to give it to you. It's for the carnival." She smiled sweetly, and added "Just for you and me."

Tai blinked, and suddenly found he could move. He turned on one heel, took the money from his sister, and counted it. His eyes widened as he did so. It was a lot of money. A *LOT*.

"Tai, is something wrong?" Kari said. "You look weird."

"No, I'm fine," he lied, stuffing the bills in his pocket, unconsciously looking around, as if to spot some incoming pickpocket or thug who knew, just *knew*, that Taichi Kamiya had about seven months worth of allowance in his pocket. They were in the bushes, for sure, ready and waiting to jump him.

*There's no one in the bushes, dumbass,* he scolded himself. *You're just paranoid.*

*Just for you and me*, Kari had said. *Just for you and me*

*You* and *me*.

Tai thought about the amount of money in his pocket. He grinned.

"This might be fun," he muttered to himself, rubbing his chin. "There's *my* share, and then there's *her* share...of course, it has to be even..." He did some quick math, and his grin widened. "Not bad, not bad..."

An insistent tugging--on his shirt, he decided--brought him back to planet Earth.

"Taiii..." Kari whined, tugging some more. "Are we going or not?"

Tai rubbed his hands together. "Yeah, yeah, we're going. Take my hand, all right? I don't wanna lose you."

Kari nodded and took his hand. She felt her heart flutter and her body tingle with heat as she felt the flesh of his palm and fingers close around her own.

*Today is gonna be GREAT!* she cheered silently.

Opinions?

It's good so far but... well, I was expecting some hentai beyond the failed half-assed jerking attempt. Try not to take too long before getting some real action, OK? ;)

good work man. ^^ keep it up.

That is honestly one of the best pieces of fanfic that I've read recently. I really like the way how you describe the character's anime-like movements -- it allows the story to feel almost like an actual episode of the TV-series. You got the characters quite well, too: I'm sure that's exactly how the, uhm, 'real' Tai and Kari would behave given the same situation. Very good.

While I'm at it, here's some advice (even though I, never having written so much as a single lemon myself, are quite unqualified to give it): Don't allow yourself to be hurried. Make the story last and save the sex scenes for when they're appropriate. There are way too many "balls over brains"-lemons out there which consist almost solely of sex. Don't get me wrong, I do like them for when I'm looking for a quick thrill, but once in a while, I also appreciate a lemon with a proper, well-written story. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

In other words: Keep up the great work. You rock!

Thank you, urban dream, Tiamat, and InsaneImpmon. Urban, you and I have similar preferences as far as lemons go. ^_^

This is Scene 3, Take 2. It's short, but somewhat engrossing. Or so I think.

***

"We're HERE!" Kari crowed, raising her clenched fists as high as her arms would stretch, grinning widely, her eyes shut tightly with glee. "We're here we're here we're HERE!" She jumped up and down next to Tai, who looked on with a smile.

*I haven't seen her this happy since...* he paused as something sour filled his soul. It may have been regret and remembrance, but he was unfamiliar with either one and couldn't really tell. *...since she was last with Gatomon. In fact...* Tai rubbed the tips of fingers against one another, thinking. *In fact, I don't think she's been herself for the last few weeks. She's always sitting on her bed and staring off into space nowadays. I wonder what's gotten into her..."

*Aren't* you *sad that you no longer have Agumon at your side?* a rather acidic voice inquired from just beyond his frontal lobe. *Don't* you *miss the one being in the universe who may have truly been destined to be your friend, from here to eternity? Haven't* you *been more than a little somber these past two months? Or have you been too busy jerking off to notice?*

*Shut up, brain*. A scowl flickered in and out of existence on Tai's face. He was more than a little bit irritated at the unrelenting Voice of Inner Tai right now, but he didn't feel like that gave him the right to ruin Kari's first truly happy day in months. He pushed the Voice into a dusty corner of his mind (where it couldn't be seen behind large boxes marked "7th Birthday" and "The Time That Cat Peed On Me In Front Of My Friends") and just soaked in Kari's undiluted happiness. It didn't take long for a genuine smile to grow on his face.

Kari looked up at her big brother, who looked back, grinning.

"Shall we?" Tai said, gesturing at the Park with both hands. "Ladies first, of course."

Kari giggled. "Of course. But only if you hold my hand again." She held it out, open and inviting.

Tai held her hand, and they entered Kichigaisakka Park.

Please Note: next scene may be delayed due to lack of information on the Japanese equivalent of a carnival. If anyone can give me any information about such events. it would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is alangrantzippy@yahoo.com

Thanks for reading.

agz

Such use of detail and research... Even IF you are waiting for the hentai goodness, I LIKE a lemon with plot and emphasis in it. It helps draw you into the fic.

Thank you, Waru. May you bear many fruits of your loins. ^_^

Scene 4, Take 39 1/2!

***

Two sets of eyes could be heard audibly blinking.

"...whoa," Tai muttered, staring. His mouth desperately wanted to gape open, but some subconscious part of Tai said no, that would make him look like a fish. It stayed shut.

Kari, however, had succumbed to the urge, and her mouth hung open, her teeth glistening in the noon light. She, too, was staring. "...yeah. Whoa."

There was a pause, a moment of quiet between brother and sister that was quickly filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter that drifted from deeper within the Park.

In a burst of synchronized sound that was somewhere between a whoop and a laugh, Tai and Kari cheered. Some passers-by gave them the cursory "You're Crazy" looks, but neither child noticed, so engrossed were they in the sight before them.

Neon lights shined down from the signs of booths and vendors, which lined the Park's paved paths like good little soldiers around the red carpet. Each had their own ware to share, any little thing; a little something for you and the missus there, sir? These watches are solid silver, sir n' ma'am, I can give you to them at half price, I can I can.

Beyond these booths Tai could see various and sundry games, set up astride and within the path, each with their own theme. Frog Pond Toss, Ring Around the Bottle, Darts, Car Racing, Fishing...Tai's eyes danced from game to game, unconsciously taking in the prizes as he saw them. He felt a line of drool escape his now-gaping mouth as he spotted a rack of Playstation games behind the counter of a booth labeled "Aces Wild". Each row of games on the rack was denoted with a letter rank: A, B, and C. On the A rack he could see a copy of Final Fantasy VIII.

He *wanted* that game.

Tai, drooling and mindless, began to wobble over to the booth, one hand groping futilely at the air, as if trying to clutch and claw at the game. He took six clumsy steps forward--

--and pain shot in wild jets across his nerves, making him stumble, the front of one foot catching on the back of the other, tipping his balance. He waved his arms in the air, trying to regain equilibrium, but the hand of Fate went ahead and pushed him, and he fell.

He landed on the stones below shoulder-first, and groaned. He held his shoulder with one hand and his ass with the other.

"What...THE..." he wheezed, rubbing a spot in the middle of his left buttock. "*Kari*..."

His sister stood over him, her arms crossed over her chest, a look of almost motherly amusement on her face. She looked down at him pityingly.

"You spaced out, Tai," she said. "You were like a zombie. Wipe your mouth, you're drooling." She tried not to giggle, and failed.

Tai shot her a disgruntled look as he wiped away the line of slime dripping off his chin. "Was it necessary to *pinch me*?" he barked.

Kari giggled again. "Yup."

Tai rolled his eyes and pulled himself up. "You could've just yelled at me, or something."

"I did. You didn't hear me."

"I didn't hear anything," he muttered, brushing dust off his shirt and shorts.

"That's what I just said!" Kari chirped, grinning.

Tai sighed. *Sisters*. "Look, I'm gonna go play this game over here, you stay here and--" He blinked, and looked around. "Hey, where'd you go?"

"Tai! Over here!"

Tai turned to the right. Kari was standing next to a Water Gun game, an excited look on her face.

"Tai! I wanna play *this* one!" She pulled herself onto the stool and grabbed the gun by both handles. Five or so other kids joined her on the other stools, each passing bills along to the operator, who pocketed them in turn.

"But Kari, I--"

The operator looked at Kari, then at Tai. He rubbed two fingers against his thumb--"money, please?" the fingers said.

Tai fought the urge to sigh and went over to pay.

Patience, all. I'm working up to something. ^_^

Ah, dunworry. We're always patient. ^^

Nice work, BTW. Looking forward to the next installment.
