Undersea Master 4
Kari sat in the psychologist's office and waited for her constant tormenter to come back. He was talking to Mrs. Kamiya outside, and Kari could tell by the tone of their voices it was about her. She'd done something really stupid by revealing her powers to her mother, but Kari figured it would've happened sooner or later.
The doctor entered the office and sat by the desk. "Well, hello Kari," he said, a fake-looking smile on his face. "How are we today?"
"Who's we?" Kari spat, her face emotionless, as always.
"Your mother told me of the... occurance on the way here," the doctor said. "Would you like to... talk about it?"
"No."
"Do you know what these... powers you have mean?"
"No."
"What kind of powers... are they?"
"I'm not too sure of that myself."
"What kind of things have you been... able to do now that you have this talent?"
"I'd rather not say."
The psychologist said nothing, but he had a glare on his face that gave Kari the shivers. The rest of the appointment went on similar to before: the doctor asking questions, and Kari refusing to give out any information.
"You know Kari, I can't... help you if you don't tell... me anything," he said.
"Maybe I don't need any help," Kari muttered.
~*~**~*~
"Mooooom, I'm gonna be late!"
"Where are you going anyway?" Mrs. Kamiya asked. She was attempting to get her daughter to do something she didn't want to do. Most likely talk about the meeting with the doctor.
"To T.K.'s basketball game!" Kari exclaimed. "I can't miss it!"
"Why don't you just do that teleporting thing?"
"Because I can't! I wasn't even supposed to tell you about it, I can't just show up there out of the blue!" Kari was almost yelling. "I'd like to be as normal as I possibly can, if that's not a problem."
"But Kari-" A knock on the door interrupted them.
"I'll get it," Kari grumbled. She flung open the door. "Hey Matt! Tai's not here."
"I figured," Matt said. "T.K. told me you were planning on coming to his game. Want me to take you?"
Mrs. Kamiya nodded. "Okay Matt, let's get outta here," Kari said.
"T.K.'s been telling me about this Dragomon character," Matt said as they walked to the school. "What's up with that?"
"It's kinda complicated," said Kari, "but I'll try to explain. Dragomon is an undersea Digimon who supposedly enslaved these Scubamon a while back. I got sucked into their world and freed the Scubamon, but then they tried to take me to Dragomon. Ever since then, nothing's been the same."
"Sounds like a lot for someone your age to handle," Matt said. Kari agreed.
"I hate this. I want to go back to the way things were... minus the control spires, mind you, but I don't want these powers! I don't even know what they are!" Kari exclaimed.
"I hear you," Matt said. "But don't worry, we'll all be here. T.K. 'specially, I know."
"Why T.K.?"
"Oh, just reasons only brothers know," Matt teased with a smile. "You'll know soon enough."
Kari gave Matt a funny look as they entered the school and went to the gym. The teams were already on the court warming up, and T.K. ran over to Kari and Matt when he saw them.
"Hey, you made it," he smiled. "You weren't at school today Kari. Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, now I am," Kari said. "This morning I wasn't."
Someone called to T.K. and he had to leave. "I'll talk to you later."
"Good luck!" Matt said, and he and Kari sat in the usual spot on the bleachers.
T.K.'s team won that night, with a lot of work on T.K.'s part. He'd scored almost half of his team's points! Afterwards, he and Matt walked Kari home.
Kari went back to her room when she got back. The image of the psychologist glaring at her stuck in her mind, even though it had been hours since the appointment.
"It's like I've seen it before," she told Sora over the phone later that night. "It was so creepy."
"Do you remember where you saw it?" Sora asked.
"No... I've been trying all evening and nothing seems to come up," Kari sighed.
"It'll come to you," Sora assured her. They started talking about other stuff, when all of a sudden, Kari gasped.
"What is it Kari?"
"I remember who had that glare before," Kari said.
"Who?"
"That Undersea Master... what did Izzy say his name was, Dragomon? He had that exact same look on his face in my dream!!"
"Woah... Kari, have you and the others faced this guy yet?"
"No..."
"That might be something you should bring up," Sora said.
"I know... I guess I'm kinda scared," Kari admitted.
"Start with telling Tai. He's your big brother, he'll understand."
"Yeah... if I can drag him away from his schoolwork. When exactly are your exams?"
"In a week. What's Tai doing with schoolwork???"
"He's studying! 24/7! That's all he's been doing lately. Davis came over to see if he wanted to play soccer, and he said NO. Can you believe it?"
"Come to think of it, we haven't gone out in a while lately. Maybe you talking to him will snap him out of it."
"Perhaps. Well, talk to you later Sora."
"Bye Kari."
Kari hung up and meandered to her brother's room, and knocked on the door. "Tai, are you still studying?"
Tai didn't look up from the notebook. "Yes."
"You're so pale!" Kari exclaimed. "How long has it been since you've played soccer?"
"I dunno," Tai said. "What do you want?" There was irritation in his voice.
Kari shut the door and sat on her brother's bed. "I have to tell you something."
"Shoot."
"First, look at me." Tai spun around on the desk chair and looked his little sister in the eye. "Mom knows about my powers."
Tai fell off his chair. "What? Kari! I thought we were keeping it secret!"
"I know, I know, but she knows now, and so does my doctor," Kari said.
Tai got up off the floor and sat with the chair backwards. "Why did you decide to tell me?"
"I was just on the phone with Sora. She told me I'd ought to tell you." Kari took in a deep breath. "She thinks we have to face Dragomon."
"What? Face him? As in, battle?"
"Yes," Kari said. "And I'm reluctant to admit that I agree with her. I can't keep running like this. I have to beat this guy, and try and figure out more about my powers."
"Have you talked to anyone else?" Tai asked.
"Just you and Sora. It's getting late. I'll talk to T.K., Cody, Yolei and Davis at school tomorrow," Kari said. "You should go to sleep. Your exams aren't for a week as far as I know." Tai sighed. "Your marks aren't THAT bad, are they?"
"Just math. I'm failing math. I have to get at least eighty percent on the exam or I'll have to take this course again," Tai explained.
"You'll do great Tai," Kari assured him. "And if you don't get to bed, you'll fall asleep during the exam. You'll fail for sure if you do that." She gave her brother a good-night hug and left the room.
~*~**~*~
"T.K., you're suffocating me."
"Sorry." T.K. released Kari from his embrace. She'd just confessed to him her fear about facing Dragomon, her ultimate enemy, and like the great friend he was, T.K. was there with a reassuring hug. He also told Kari that they'd all be there to help her out.
"Come on T.K., we have to get to class. And I have to tell Yolei, Cody and Davis too, not to mention the others," Kari said.
T.K. reached out and took Kari's hand as they walked towards the school. Kari was unsure but she gave T.K.'s hand a squeeze. "I missed the test yesterday, didn't I?"
"Actually, no," T.K. said. "We had a substitute. You get to suffer along with the rest of us."
"Very funny," Kari smiled.
"What did you do all day yesterday anyway?" T.K. asked.
"I slept."
"You slept?" T.K. repeated incredulously.
"Yeah. Mom woke me up telling me I had to go to the doctor. I was almost... comatose, from what she told me," Kari explained. "I can't believe I slept that long."
Meanwhile, a somewhat annoyed Davis was watching the two of them. Davis thought with irritation. He trudged off to class with a funny look on his face.
~*~**~*~
The science test was failed by nearly everyone in the class, a fact revealed about a week later. T.K., as predicted, was among those who didn't do so well.
"What'd you get Kari?" he asked at lunch.
"Eighty-seven percent," Kari said. "You?"
T.K. slumped over on the table. "Forty-two."
"Are you taking the re-test tomorrow?" Kari asked.
"Hell yeah! If my mom sees this mark I'll be grounded forever..." T.K. trailed off. "Then again, she rarely takes her eyes off the computer, so she might not see it."
"Sorry to burst your bubble T.K., but I think they phone home for a mark like that," she said.
T.K. sighed heavily and leaned his head onto the table. "I'm gonna fail this whole course. Gym is the only thing keeping my average above seventy."
"T.K., calm down. I'll help you study for the re-test, 'kay?" Kari offered.
T.K. looked up, his eyes shining. "You will?"
"Of course," Kari said. "Why wouldn't I?"
T.K. jumped up and grabbed Kari in a big bear hug. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!! You are the best! My savior! Thank you!" he gushed.
Kari pried T.K. off her. "You're welcome, you're welcome, get off and let me finish my lunch," she laughed.
