Ch.40

T.K. landed, crouched down on a boulder. In the distance he could see Kari's figurem waist deep in water, the were digimon grouped at the water's edge. Scubamon, a voice in his head told him.

They were saying something, encouraging Kari. Instinctivly, he crept forward to her better.

That's it, Queen Kari. Keep going... Queen Kari?

Just submerge your entire body. Then you'll be one with us... One with us? Not...

Kari, no! T.K. screamed, running forward.

At the sound of T.K.'s voice, Kari lost her concentration and turned around, mildly surprised. When she saw who had called her name, her surprise turned into shock, then disgust.

Takeru Takaishi, she spat, What are you doing here? Come to apologize perhaps? Well, you know what? It's too late. You screwed up, so it's time for you to pay.

Please, kari! T.K. pushed thorugh the crowd of Scubamon and into the water. Kari was up to her shoulders in the icy, shimmering sea.

Desperatly, T.K. sloshed thorugh the water as fst as he could. Kari was up to her chin now. He took longer strides. Now Kari was up to her ears.

T.K. leapt forward and gathered her up in his arms.

As Kari kicked and scratched, T.K. did the first thing that came into his mind. He started to sing.

'My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all. The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all, Slowly, Kari stopped fighting, And even if I could, it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall. It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.'

Kari felt a tear fall onto her shoulder. She looked up into T.K.'s tear-filled eyes and saw deep into his soul. She sw that, no matter what happened, he would always love her. She saw that all he wanted was for her to be safe. So Kari started to sing.

'I want to thank you, for giving me the best day of my life. Oh, just to be with you, is having the best day of my life.'

After she finished, Kari and T.K. looked at each other for a long time. Then T.K. carried her back to shore.

But, Queen Kari! the Scubamon protested, You were-

T.K. interrupted, gently setting Kari down, You've done enough damage already. Go bac to where you came from, sensing the Scubamon's hesistation, T.K. prompted them,

The Scubamon backed slowly into the water, gradually becoming siloheuttes with glowing red eyes. Kari could her them murmering,

We were so close... Next time we'll get her... Kari watched them disappear into the mist until she delt T.K.'s hand on her shoulder.














Come on, T.K., Kari said, I want to go home.

Good idea. But first... T.K. pulled Kari close to him, and felt her relax in his arms.

Kari put her arms around T.K.'s shoulders, drawing him down to her, so she could wishper, I missed you.

THE END

A/N: I can't believe I finally finished this fic! I've been working on it since last October, and it's finally done! Was the ending good? I like it... I didn't want to put this n the disclaimer at the beginning of the chapter because it would spoil the plot, but the song Kari and T.K. were singing is called Thank You and it's by Dido.

I'd like to thank my friends Yasashii and digi-angel for providing me with feed-back, encouragement, and ideas througout the writing of this fic. I'd also like to thank all the people who reviewed this fic, since you inspired me to finish it and type it up! Thanks a million guys!
