Chapter 4: Enter TK Takashi- I Can Explain

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

"Davis, you're late," Mrs. Myojin, our algebra teacher told the Digidestined leader as he walked trough the door and towards his desk.

"Do you have a pass?"

Davis rolled his eyes and said, "No, Miss."

"Alright then, Saturday detention, please."

As I glanced at his irritated face I heard him mutter, "Whatever" as he sat down.

I turned back around and began to copy notes onto the notebook in front of me. After about two minutes of mindless writing, a piece of paper was slipped in front of my pencil.

I glanced to my right to see Kari nodding to the note she had passed me. Oh well, I thought. Better than writing down the equations to triangles.

I opened it to find her scribble:

"What's up with Dai?"

Davis, of course. But what was worrying her? It's not like it's unusual for Davis to get detention, he gets it practically every day! I wrote back:

"What's up?"

I watched as she quickly scrawled one word and slid it back to me:

"Look"

I glanced to the table on my left. Davis was staring angrily at the table, his eyes looking as if they were about to shoot fireballs. Oh, now I see what she means, I thought to myself as I wrote back:

"?"

I slipped the note back to her and watched as her expression got sadder. Kari read my reply and shrugged her shoulders, a frown upon her face. It made me feel upset myself. It made me worry about the troubled boy on my left.

I turned back to face the white board as Mrs. Myojin continued to write equations on the board with her expo marker.

I tried to pay attention, I really did! But my attention span can only hold out so long, especially if my mind wants to be somewhere else. Soon the words turned into gibberish and the symbols translated into mush. I was tempted to turn and glance to my left. Instead I turned to my right.

Humph. Kari was googling Davis. Well, I guess I'll have to see what's so great about staring at him… ^^ I glanced to my left and melted in my seat.

His face looked tired, and so sad. I hope he's all right. I wonder if he got into a fight… there's a purple mark near his cheek. Poor baby… He looks worried about something. He's so cute when his eyes get all dim and small… ^^ (Dai: *mockingly* You think I'm caute! TK: Shaddup!)

Ugg… That just doesn't sound right, does it? Well, he is! I can't deny it. Hey, don't seem so shocked. I'm not, like, completely gay or anything. It's called bisexual, kay? So shut up.

Yea, I discovered this secret about two years ago. When Kari turned down Davis. Once she decided that she was in love with Davis and not me, I discovered that I really loved her. Confusing, huh?

So, me struck with jealousy, I decided to figure out what Davis had that I didn't to make him so much better than me. I practically stalked him for two weeks, learning all the good and bad things about Motomiya. In the end I concluded that he was worthy of Kari's love. But also that I had affections of my own.

Sad to say, for about five months I denied my feelings, panicked at first, unsure and shaky, blushing whenever he caught me staring, stammering whenever we spoke. One day I thought he had discovered my fear. He came up to me and glared daggers. I thought her was gonna take me out or something. Well I wasn't that far off.

He thought I was pitying him about Kari turning him down. Before I could tell him otherwise he had fully explained that his love was pure and, even though he was now over her, he'd kick my ass if I broke her heart. You know, the threat a brother would give his sister's boyfriend. Then he threw his hands up and told me that I had won and that I'd better take good care of her.

Of course I had no idea what he was talking about, but all that ranting made him flush red, which made we shake in my shoes. And when he held out his hand I was overjoyed. Heh, heh. Thank God he took my shyness for slight confusion. It was the last remark he gave me that answered my unasked question, "You and Kari make a good couple, so don't screw this up!" With that said, he huffed away, obviously hurt and upset that he had to say all that.

Since when are Kari and I going out? I thought as I caught up with her at lunch. When I asked her about it, she burst out laughing. Now, I'm a very patient person, but I swear I was about to burst with anticipation and frustration. I mean, come on! Who would want someone to laugh in your face when you're trying to get vital information. Seeing my angry expression, she quickly stopped and got to the point.

Apparently she told Davis that we were going out so she didn't have to hurt him and tell him no. So, for the past few months, Kari and I were `going out'? I asked myself in my head. Why am I always the last to know? Me, very shocked, just stood there, as if brain dead.

Kari quickly told me she'd fix everything, and she sure did. She grabbed a nearby carton of milk and dumped it on my head, yelling at me, "We're over!" In front of everyone. Yep. Let's just say people still talk about it today.

But I'm okay now, except for the fact that I'm in love with my best friend and my best friend's crush. The question is who am I more jealous of? Davis or Kari?

Davis has gained the affections of the one girl I have always loved, ever since we were kids and I thought girls had cooties. Kari has (possibly) the true love of the guy of my dreams, but I'm not quite sure about that. Who would I pick if I had a choice? Damn these trick questions!

Okay, Kari might spaz on me, seeing as both her and I know how she feels about Davis and the fact that we've been best buds for years, it would be hard and weird to make the transition to boyfriend girlfriend. And Davis, well, let's just say I've thought of his reaction and it was not a pretty sight. I just don't know…

Not to mention either way I'll have the chance of losing a friend. If I tell Kari how I feel, she might say yes, causing Davis and I to never be on good terms until he finds someone else, a.k.a. in a century. If she doesn't say yes, the friendship we have built over the years will be utterly shattered.

If I tell Davis, well, Davis might have issues. He will most likely think I'm crazy and run away. Kari would kill me for trying to steal her guy. Even if Davis, well, you know, feels that way, Kari and mine's friendship will tumble and fall. I love her, not only as a girl, but also as a sister. I don't want to hurt her…

Woah, maybe I don't love Kari, you know, like-her love-her, you know? Maybe we're too much like family. I dunno anymore, I just don't. I'm so confused.

"TK?"

I was plummeted out of my thoughts and saw Kari standing in front of me. People were slowly dispersing from the room. "TK, I have a photo club meeting, so you'll have to catch up with the others, kay?" I nodded and she smiled. I looked to my left and sighed. Davis was (yet again) sleeping.

Well, I thought as I walked up to him. At least he's in peace now.

"TK! I'll see ya later, kay? Saturday at the mall, you and I can, you know, talk. Bye!"

"Oh, okay," I called back. Damn! I forgot about my "mall meeting" with Kari. You see, I told her, you know, about, umm, my bisexuality. She took it quite well, actually. She kinda seemed, well, excited, I guess. Anyways, we were gonna meet up at the mall so I could explain more and she could, as she said, `help me'.

Getting back to the present, I gently nudged the sleeping Dai. Slowly, he whined, "Two more, Jun…" Kawaii! I thought, and nudged him again. This time he abruptly sat up and blinked a few times. His cheeks were slightly flushed as he realized that he was in an empty classroom. How I loved that face.

"Umm, hey Davis. You okay?" I was trying to be cautious, okay! Leave me alone. (ST: Awww! *pinches TK's cheeks* TK: n.n;;;)

"Mmmmm…" That was his answer. He was about to put his head back down when I flicked him. I don't think he liked it that much.

"Damn you, Takashi!" He got up from his seat and grabbed his blue backpack off the floor. "Okay, okay. I'm ready." Still groggy from his sleep, he quickly glanced around the room. "Where are the others?"

"Uh, let's see," I answered, trying to recall all the exact reasons why the others couldn't show up. "Kari had a photo club meeting, Yolie had to work at her parent's shop, and Ken had to go tutor someone in the computer room."

Davis slowly nodded and then asked, "What?" Davis, Davis. Always slow on the uptake.

"Come on, Dai," I said, grabbing his arm and leading him out of the room. "It's just you and me."

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

ST: Now, that's the longest chapter so far! Way cool!

Dai: Hey! I'm not that slow ya know…

TK: Uh, yea, you are.

ST: Yep, you sure are, Davis.

(Dai sits and rethinks this conversation)

TK: So, um, you're not really gonna, you know, switch us, are you?

ST: I'm guessing you two read the summary, huh?

(Dai and TK nod their heads)

ST: Oh, yea.

(Dai and TK groan)

ST: Oh, get over it! You're gonna switch bodies, and you're gonna like it! Alright?!?

(Dai and TK nod vigorously, not wanting to argue with the crazy fanfic-junkie)

ST: Good! Now that that's settled, tell me TK, who ARE you gonna choose?

TK: What? Whaddya mean who am I gonna choose?!?! Are you telling me that it's up to ME who I end up with?

Dai: You're joking right?

(ST has a very serious look on her face)

Dai: Oh boi.

TK: No! No! I have a WAY better idea! Let's let the readers choose!

Dai: Yea! Yea! …. Waitta minute! You can't decide between me and Kari? …. Waaaiittta minute, you're not attracted to me, are you?

(TK looks away)TK: n.n;; maybe…

Dai: AHHHHHH!!!! GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU FREAK!!!

ST: Heh heh, I like where this is going! And I like your brilliant idea TK!

(TK blushes while Dai's mouth hangs open)

ST: Tell, me readers, who shall TK choose? Davis or Kari? Maybe your opinion will change the story line a bit!

Dai: KARI! PICK KARI!! No, wait, if you pick Kari and she says ye… NOO!!! PICK ME!!! NO! DON'T! ARG! I'M SO CONFUSED!

TK: ;;;;
