Me "Hey everyone! I know I know I wanted this to be a one-shot deal but after a long time I've given some thought over this story. This one is probably my favourite story out of all the ones that I've made so I decided to at least make an epilogue. Close it up a bit more. Anyways so yes Davis is out since he has decided to make no snide remarks about this story since he actually liked it!"

Ken "Thank goodness for that! Anyways Azn Angel Hikari owns this storyline however she does not own the characters Kari and TK who were based off of the anime Digimon."

Me "Yup well I hope you all like this one as much as the last chapter!"

Takeru's Story
~*~

Sometimes things just happen for a reason. When you least expect it, life can throw you the most wonderful things at you. All you have to learn to do is embrace it. Takeru was the one thing that life threw at me. He was like a silver lining through all the bad things that happened to me. Yet I could never do anything for him. But... He seemed happy anyways.

It was five years after I had met him that his mother decided to let him visit again. Five long years that all we did was talk on the phone. But now he was finally coming back; and I was nervous.

So who wouldn't be? The guy who had shaped your life so completely was finally coming back for a visit. The guy who you practically spilled your heart out to in a letter was coming back to visit. I was practically shaking in my shoes. Most people would say that's ridiculous given that he was blind, but somehow I just knew he could see me. At least see me for who I really could be instead of who I looked like. That was what really mattered to him, and I guess ultimately me.

Time whipped by as the days grew shorter, just waiting for him to come back. When he finally did though, I felt as if I were hit by a brick wall. He was gorgeous as usual. Sure he wasn't picture perfect, but somehow in my brown eyes, he was. Taller than before and leaner, his hair was till the same ruffled blonde it always was. When I saw him, my face just lit up with a big smile, and he knew that it was there.

When I hugged him, he just felt so warm as he smiled and slid his hand along my back and through my hair just happy to be with me. Why did I ever get this chance? Why did I ever get that blessing to meet him? After that meeting... There was no one that could tell me there was no such thing as fate or faith. He was like a guardian angel to me. Sure he had never actually been there when things got me down. But I could always call him and he would just listen to me, tell me everything would alright. Somehow he was the only one that could make that happen.

Days went by way too shortly as I showed him around town. Eventhough he couldn't actually see any sights, I could tell he was breathing it all in. He was just happy and carefree. Something I didn't see in many people now adays. Everyone else was too busy in their lives, people running fast to do this and that. But TK... He was different. He could just take it easy and enjoy life. It was pretty amazing in my eyes. Even now he could teach me things I never knew existed until he pointed it out.

But what I never knew was that maybe he wasn't always happy. Maybe he wasn't as carefree as I thought he always was. Maybe, he was just putting on a brave face.

As I was walking to get a drink of water one night, I passed by his room. The door was open just a tad as I walked past. But something caught my attention. There were small sounds coming from Takeru's room as I crept closer, putting my ear against the wooden door. It sounded as if someone were crying... But why?

Slowly I opened the door a tad more to catch a glimpse of what was going on. Sitting on the guest bed, the boy that I loved the most in the world was sitting against the far wall, one leg bent up with his head resting against it. His back was shaking a bit as if he were sobbing...

It broke my heart. Right then and there. To see the person that shaped me and taught me how to love... Crying... It was just overwhelming. Not caring anymore, I opened the door and quickly ran over to him, sitting on the bed as I put my hand on his back.

"TK, TK what's wrong?" I asked softly trying to keep myself from crying as well.

As he heard my voice, his blonde head gave a little shake and looked up at me. His blue eyes, masked with a veil of white regarded me through some tears as he tried to look into my face.

"Hikari..." TK started but then shook his head and looked away, "I'm sorry you should go back to sleep."

"No TK you were crying! What's wrong?" I asked again trying to look at him.

Slowly he brought his face back up to mine, wiping away some tears as he then blinked and looked at my face, "I can't... Hikari I feel so alone..."

"But TK I'm right here... You can talk to me," I said a little confused at his statement.

"No... No you don't understand... I'm blind Hikari. I can't even see you... I can't see anyone... I just can't..." He said softly, his hand coming up to touch my cheek, "No one can ever be with me... No one would want to be with someone blind," He said practically spitting the last few words out.

Smiling I held his hand against my cheek and looked up into his eyes brushing away a strand of blonde hair that had fallen into his face, "That's where you're wrong... I want to be with you TK."

"You just say that Hikari... When it comes down to the point you don't want to spend the rest of your life with someone that can't even see how beautiful you really are," TK said, the hint of depression lurking in his voice.

"No I won't be with someone who can't see how beautiful I really am... But that's not you TK. You are the one who makes me feel beautiful. Even if you can't see me, you can see inside of me. No one else can do that except you. When I'm around you... The entire world melts away. There's just you TK. Someone can love you even if you can't see them, because you can see inside them. That's something a whole lot more powerful than physical attraction can be," I tried to explain, stroking my fingertips along his hand. Words seemed so petty right now. For some reason all the things I was feeling just couldn't be described enough with words. They were just sort of meaningless. So, leaning in towards him, my lips connected with his. It was so much more than I had ever imagined. Sure I'd kissed a lot of guys in my lifetime but this. This was something different. Warmth coursed through me as his soft lips danced against mine. It was everything I felt, all in one moment, and then it was gone. As quickly as it came.

Pulling back I opened my eyes to look at his face. It was brighter than I had seen him, he smiled as he kissed the back of my hand and my heart broke again. But this time it was for the better.

"Thank you Hikari... You say I've changed your life, but now you've changed mine. Now it's my turn to thank you," TK smiled as he pulled me back, encircling his arms around me as I smiled and sat with him. No sight necessary, just pure emotion.
