ENTER SAKURA
A Digimon/Cardcaptor Sakura fic by Robster80
After watching some of the "Cardcaptor Sakura" subtitled DVD (first tow eps), I got this idea: What if Sakura met TK in fourth grade while he and his mother lived away from the original Digi-Destined? And what would happen if Sakura and her family moved to Odaiba one year after TK did? Takari fans, bear with me! I still support it, yet in here there will be some Daikari or a reasonable facsimile thereof). Also, for you Davis fans, I will TRY to make him more of a good guy (But I make no guarantees!).
Setting: one year after TK moved to Odaiba.
Ages: TK, Kari, Davis, and Sakura are 13/14, Cody is 12/13, and Yolei 14/15.

TK sat at his computer, typing his twentieth e-mail message this week to someone back in his old school. He had never meant to forget to write to this person, but since he moved, he had been busy with his new friends and especially with Kari.
Kari and TK had been best friends since they fought the Dark Masters in the Digital World over five years ago, and they were usually together after the move. Now, Kari would usually hang around Davis since TK was busy lately around the house and with homework and basketball.
TK grew angry at this. Davis had a huge crush on Kari, and was always hanging around her and got jealous when they were all together. He, too, had strong feelings for Kari, but he realized, now anyway, that they would be nothing more than best friends. It was during his withdrawal from Kari that he remembered his friend and had tried to contact her and apologize, but never got a response.
Once he finished his message, he proofread it to himself:
"Sakura,
I'm really, really, sorry that I haven't kept in touch with you. I was caught up with school, basketball, and old friends. I've been trying very hard to reach you, but I guess you're angry with me. If you only knew how much I need you right now. We were the best of friends, and now... It's all my fault. Some friend I turned out to be. Please forgive me. I'd be thrilled to hear from you.
Takeru."
Satisfied, he sent out the e-mail before lying on his bed. I can only hope she forgives me, he thought sadly. Lately, though, hope hasn't done much for me. Summer sure flew by fast. Tomorrow school starts...
********************************************************************************
Next door, a teenage girl was enjoying her first night in a new apartment. Her father had been transferred to Odaiba University, and she couldn't have been happier. Now I can be with Takeru again! she thought happily. I wonder if he's changed much?
The girl walked over to her computer and checked her e-mail. Eyeing the new entry, she smiled. "He wrote me!" Reading the mail, she thought, Angry at him? Never! It's just that my server kept erasing all my e-mails and addresses. Am I glad Dad changed servers for me! Oh, Takeru, of course I forgive you. I only pray that you'll forgive me.
She was about to reply, but then decided, "No. I'll surprise him tomorrow at school. Speaking of which, I'd better get some sleep."
********************************************************************************
TK didn't know why he set his alarm so early the next day as it went off and woke him up. Then it hit him as he hit the shut off button: He didn't want to see Davis and Kari together when he walked to school. Sadly, he got up, dressed, fixed himself a small breakfast, and left without waking his mother. He left a note on the door letting her know where he was.
It was a bit chilly as TK walked down the streets to school. He accepted the cold; thinking it would dull the pain in his heart caused by Kari & Davis, and by his neglecting Sakura. No! he thought. I don't want that pain dulled. I want myself to remember what I did to Sakura...
Before he knew it, TK was at the gate to the school. He walked inside the building and found his classroom. Finding a desk with his schedule, he sat in it and stared out the window. This is going to be a bad day for me.
********************************************************************************
Yolei waited impatiently in the lobby of the apartment building when Cody rushed up to her and said, "His mother said that he left early. I think he wanted to avoid seeing Davis and Kari walking together today."
Yolei sighed heavily. "I can't say I'd blame him for doing it. I'd feel the same way if I was heartbroken from my bets friend whom I secretly loved. Well, we might as well get going..."
They were about to leave when a girl that was TK's age and wearing a school uniform matching a sailor/marine suit came up to them and said, "Excuse me, do you both live here?"
Cody said, "We do. Are you one of the people who moved into apartment 543?"
The girl bowed and said, "Yes. My name is Sakura, and I'm grade eight at the local school."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sakura. My name is Cody and this is my friend Yolei. Would you like to accompany us to school?"
Sakura smiled. "Yes, thank you."
All three of them walked out and into the streets. Sakura then asked, "By the way, do either of you know a boy named Takeru Takaishi? He's also called TK."
Yolei said, "Yes, we're his friends. In fact, he lives right next door to you in apartment 544."
Sakura's eyes lit up. "Oh my gosh, does he really?! Wow! When he lived in my old town, we lived a few blocks from each other and now we're next-door neighbors!"
Cody looked at her carefully and asked, "Then you do know him?"
"Oh yes! We were the best of friends before he moved away. We tried to stay in touch but I lost his phone number and my old server was all messed up so I never got to e-mail him or received mail form him. How is he? Is he the number one basketball player in school?"
Yolei and Cody tried to answer all of Sakura's questions as they continued to walk. Meanwhile, Kari and Davis were walking down the opposite street to school. They were also talking about TK.
"I'm dead serious," Davis said. "When I saw TK look after us and then walk away, I could swear that he was crying. It was like the sight of us together tore him up more than when I used to see you two together and having a good time."
"I admit it," Kari said. "I hardly get to see him anymore because we hang together so much now, but he has more important things to worry about than hanging with me-."
"Oh come on, Kari! He'd drop everything to be with you, but I would beat him to the punch 70% of the time. But, now I realize that you and I are just friends, and he and you go way back. I think we should talk with him at school today. Or at least you should, because I might start a fight-."
"And you would clobber him?" Kari said angrily. "Is that what would happen?"
Davis was shocked at this accusation, but knew that she had a right to say that. "No... he would get in the first punch and get in trouble, and blame me for it all. But, that's beside the point."
Kari nodded. "You're right. I really miss TK being around me... er, I mean us."
"Kari, I know you like him more than a friend and not as a brother. You don't have to hide it from me."
"SSH! We're almost there." Kari pointed at the school as they approached.
********************************************************************************
Kari looked over at TK from her desk as he looked over at what he must have thought was an interesting part of the window. Davis was right! He looks absolutely miserable, and it's all my fault. If we weren't sitting in the order the teacher set up, I'd be apologizing to him right now and making plans. Not to mention comparing his schedule with mine to see which classes we have together.
Suddenly, the teacher entered, followed by a girl in a school sailor uniform, who then stood beside the teacher's desk. "Class," the teacher began. "I'd like to introduce a new student. Please welcome Sakura Kinomoto."
The girl bowed at the class. "I'm happy to meet all of you."
TK nearly fell out of his chair in shock. Sakura's here?!
The teacher then said, "We'll have study period while I go fetch some more textbooks. Sakura, why don't you take the seat next to Takeru Takaishi over there?" With that, the teacher left the room and most of the students began to talk to each other.
Sakura sat down next to TK and looked at him. TK was nervous as to how his old friend would treat him after a year of no communication. "It's good to see you again, Sakura," he said in a low voice, trying to hide his nervousness.
Sakura noticed it, though. He thinks I'm mad at him. She smiled warmly at him. "I'm not mad at you, Takeru," she said in a lower voice. "But I really missed you."
"I missed you just as much."
"I got your e-mail last night. I would have responded, but I wanted to surprise you today."
"Girl, did you ever."
Despite their low voices, Kari overheard them talking. They know each other?! As she watched them get close, she tightened the grip on her pen and narrowed her eyes at them. That Sakura's making moves on MY Takeru! she then looked at her schedule and listened intently as TK and Sakura compared their schedules.
Davis saw all three of them and sadly shook his head. I've sure done it now!
********************************************************************************
Kari sulked in her seat at lunch. She only had three classes with TK this year, and all of them had Sakura in them as well. They're always together! she fumed in her head. Why am I so angry? TK's not my guy. I was thinking like Davis used to. Brrrrr! I'm just getting a taste of my own medicine. This must be how Davis felt when T first came here.
She snapped out of her thoughts when Cody and Yolei sat beside her. "Hey, you two. You met the new girl, Sakura?"
Yolei said, "We did. As a matter of fact, she lives in our building, so we walked with her to school today. She lives right next to TK's apartment, to be exact."
Kari's face fell when she heard this. She lives next to him?!?! She was so upset, she leaned forward and rested her chin on the table. "Things cannot get worse!"
Cody looked away, then waved at Sakura and TK. "Over here, you two!"
Kari's face fell further. "I was wrong." Quickly, she regained her composure as TK and Sakura sat down beside her, with Sakura sitting between TK and Kari.
"So," Yolei said. "Sakura, how long have you known TK exactly?"
Sakura shrugged. "About four years now. We first met in fourth grade at my old school."
I knew him first! Kari thought as she bit hard into a carrot stick.
Sakura looked at her and said, "Oh, I'm sorry! We haven't met. I'm Sakura." She stuck out her hand.
Kari slowly took it and shook hands. "Kari Kamiya."
Sakura smiled. "Oh, so you're the Kari that Takeru's been telling me about! I'm pleased to finally meet you."
Kari looked at her funny. He talks about me?
Sakura then looked around and asked, "But, where's your friend Davis? TK said he's usually beside you."
Kari almost facefaulted. Of course, he would mention Davis!
At a far off table, Davis was listening to the conversation, and figured Kari was angry with him now. I really, REALLY, did it this time!
Cody grinned at TK as he said, "We know something you don't know, TK!"
TK looked at him. "What's that?"
Yolei burst into a grin. "You're sitting next to your new next door neighbor. Sakura's family moved into the apartment next to yours."
TK's jaw promptly dropped. He looked at Sakura with a "No way" expression. She smiled and said, "That's right, Takeru. We're closer than ever now."
Kari wanted to throw up.
********************************************************************************
Tai heard the front door slam and watched as a streak of pink and brown rushed past him and into his little sister's bedroom. Uh-oh! What happened now? He went over to the door and listened as he heard a faint sob from inside. Not bothering to knock, he opened the door and saw Kari lying face down on her bed. He walked over and pulled up her desk chair. "Bad day at school, kiddo?"
Kari looked up at him, tears running down her face like Niagra Falls. "There's a new girl in school."
Tai, clueless as ever, said, "So?"
"She... she's from TK's old school... they're old friends..."
"And?"
"And... and she's always around him... and... Oh, Tai!" she threw her face back to her pillow. "They act more like they're dating rather than just friends! And since TK thinks I like Davis more than him, he's spending his time with her now!"
Tai shrugged and said, "Oh, is that all? That's easily fixed. All you have to do is do what you did to Davis."
Kari looked back at him. "Say what?"
"Make TK jealous."
End
Notes: Don't worry, there's more. However, not everybody from CCS will be here. GOMEN! And if Tai thinks this plan will work, he's a bigger fool than I first took him for. Till next time! -R80
