Chapter two: Something I could not control.

Hikari woke up with light shining in her face. She remembered last night but, how she got in bed was a blur to her. Her brother was snoring loudly on the bunk above hers. She got up slowly and went into the living room to find her mother.

Mrs. Yagami was asleep, head resting on the kitchen table. Kari looked around and saw nothing was out of place. Gatomon sprang out of nowhere and into hikaris arm “good morning” Kari said and in reply, gatomon purred

“Good morning Kari, are you feeling better?”

“What do you mean?” Kari asked her, not understanding.

“You passed out last night.” she said

“Oh...i did? Well, yeah I feel ok” but she didn't, in truth she felt ready to puke. why was she lying so much now just to cover up her mistakes.

She fixed breakfast and began to eat when Tai came down. “Morning” he mumbled sleepily. She nodded in acknowledgement and passed him the cereal. 

There mother woke up a few minutes later, said nothing, and left to her room. “That was weird” Tai said.

“I am going to yolie’s later ok Tai, I need to get dressed.” She said walking off; Tai just snorted and continued eating.

An hour later the door bell rang. Kari rushed to answer it, expecting yolie. Matt stood in front of her, with a guitar swung over his shoulder. “Hey” he said simply

She stood there for a moment “oh...um, hey” she said, moving out of his way so he could go through the door.

She sighed and sat back down on the couch. “What do you need Matt?” Tai asked him

“Nothing, got into a fight with my old man so I decided to come over here for a sec.” he said

“ok, whatever, moms drunk and Kari is going out, and I have a soccer game so you cant stay too long” Matt nodded and sunk into the couch beside Kari while Tai put on his cleats.

“I got into a fight with T.k.” Matt said suddenly.

“So what?” Tai asked. Matt and T.k. fought often, it was no secret.

“I ...hit him” Matt said looking at the ceiling as if he was ashamed.

“Oh shit, man, you hit him? What did he do to you?” Tai asked.

“Nothing…but I’ll tell you, Hikari, you may want to dump him, that's all” he said

“What did he do” Kari asked, suddenly interested.

“Nothing”

“Common, Matt” Tai and her said in unison

“It’s just, he came in hugging some red headed bimbo, kissing her neck and…yeah …” Kari dropped her jaw

“HE WAS DOING WHAT????” Tai yelled.

“Told you, don’t worry though, I took care of him” Matt said.

“listen, next time I see him, he is going down but I have to go, see you later Matt. Kari, be home by dinner, or else” and with that he ran out of the room. Matt rose and stretched on his toes, yawning. The door bell rang again.

“I got it” he said, sounding tiered. Yolie rushed into the room.

“I just saw Tai, I swear...” she paused and turned around, face red. “Oh, hi Matt, I didn't see you there” but Kari knew what she was going to say, he is so hot..., Blah blah blah. It was gross, in Kari’s opinion, to have someone like her brother that was her age.

“Hey” Matt said sinking back into the couch

“Shouldn’t you be getting home?” Kari asked him, standing up to follow Yolie out the door.

“Nope” he said falling over to lie on the now vacant couch.

She rolled her eyes “whatever, see you later Yamato, lock the door on your way out.” She said dropping her key on his stomach. He made a muffled noise as he rolled over on his belly, placing the key on the floor. She rolled her eyes ‘lazy…’ she thought.

They walked through the parking lot. “Do you feel safe just, leaving him in your house like that?” yolie asked.

“He is there all the time, I don’t see why not, it’s his brother you can’t trust.”

“I don’t know, Kari, Matt seems…scary to me.” Hikari laughed

“He is, but like I said, I leave him alone there all the time, he wont mess with anything” she said smiling. “Because he knows if he does my brother will kick his ass” she said. “So, where are we going?” Yolie still looked skeptical.

“What are you so afraid of?” Kari asked her. Matt really wasn't that bad of a guy, he was really cool once you get to know him. 

Kari and yolie spent the rest of the day at the mall, looking at cloths and watching movies in the built in theater. Her watch alarm went off when it was six. “Sorry, I have to get home or Tai will freak” Yolie nodded and Kari left her at the mall after she assured Kari she would call someone to get a ride. It was dark out now because of the clouds, and she had to walk too. She had to admit, it was kind of scary, especially when it started to rain ‘classic’ she thought remembering all the old horror movies she had seen. It was always storming in those movies, always.

Her house wasn't far, but the clouds made it as dark as night. When she got to the parking lot, she was so relieved. Until, that is, she saw T.k standing against the wall. “Hey” he said.

‘Oh shit’ she thought. He looked evil.

“Seen my brother around anywhere?” he asked her and she shook her head

“No, sorry” she said trying to move around him.

He moved, to block her. “Listen, I really have to go home, I am sorry, good bye T.k” she pushed past him and went as fast as she could up the steps and grabbed the door knob.

“I know you know Kari!” he yelled, following her up the stairs.

It was locked. She rang the door bell frantically, watching him approach her; something about him said he wasn't here to be friendly. ‘Open up!’ she wanted to scream, but her voice caught in her throat.

The door opened and she squeezed under Matt's arm into the shelter of her home. She turned and Peeked over his shoulder, hand resting on it. Matt would protect her, she knew it. Matt stared at his brother for a moment. “What do you want, Takeru?” he asked calmly as if the sight of T.k didn't bother him at all.

T.k’s eyes were blood red, and he swayed as if he was drunk. He clothes looked like they had been pulled at and were now hanging loosely to his body

“Actually I was looking for you” he said evilly. T.k had never acted like this before, what was wrong with him now?

“I don’t need to talk to you T.k. you’re an idiot”

“SHUT UP” he yelled “I was looking for you but I need to talk to Kari, and she is none of your concern!” Matt just laughed

“I think she is, since Tai isn't here, It’s my job to protect her” he said.

“Go protect your own girlfriend”

“I can’t” Matt answered

“And why not?”

“I don’t have one you idiot.” he said, looking ashamed

“Well, don’t try and steal mine dumb ass” he said sarcastically

“T.k stop being a baby and stop trying to pick fights.” Matt said

“SHUT UP MATT!” He yelled “this is none of your concern” t.k hissed venom in his words.

“I think you need to shut up Takeru!!” hikari said “and you need to leave too, I know about your whore and I don’t want any part of your little three way.” But thinking about t.k being her babies daddy was beginning to make her sick. Matt looked at her, worried. she was turning green in the face.

“What do you mean?”

“The one I saw you with this morning T.k” Matt said

“Whatever, I have always cheated on you but you cheat on me too don’t you Kari”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean you and Ken, you didn't think I would notice you always hanging out with him” hikari snorted and pushed Matt out of the way, slapping t.k in the face. Tears streaking down her pale cheeks as she held back her sniffles.

“You don’t know anything t.k” she whispered “I could never cheat on you! I love you and I always will love you!” the tears continued to fall.

“What ever Hikari, I think your lying to me I know, Hikari, Sora told me everything” he said and Hikaris eyes continued to water.


Matt could see the sorrow in her eyes, and it made him hurt. It made him want to kill his little brother for causing her so much un-deserved pain.

“You don’t know anything Takeru, you don’t!!! T.k, I –im pregnant” and with that she began sobbing

“Go away t.k”

Matt pulled Kari in the house keeping a gentle hand on her waist, so she wouldn't collapse.

“No.” T.k refused and Matt answered by slamming the door in his face.

Kari got free from his grasp and was crying on the couch when he went and sat heavily beside her, sighing and thinking up a tactful way to…better understand this very delicate situation “are you really?” he asked and she nodded , head still in her hands.

He place two fingers on his temple and applied pressure. “Well, so do you want it?” he figured it was no use asking who it belonged too, since he already knew.

“Of course I do” she sobbed.

“Does taichi know?” he asked her

“Not that I know of” she said drying her tears on her shirt.

“Are you going to tell him” he asked gingerly

“I don’t see that I have much of a choice Matt” she said sadly. He reached up and used his finger to wipe away her remaining tears. He hated to see her this sad, and it was all because of his brother. T.k had put her through all this. At that moment, he wondered why he was suddenly compelled to comfort her, she was his best friends little sister after all. What drew him towards her all of the sudden, and why wasn't he aware of this attraction before?

“Well, what about your mother? Does she know?” he asked, breaking up his own confusing thoughts.

“She doesn’t know either, I didn't really want to tell T.k but it kind of slipped out” she said

He stood up, sighing again and went to get a glass of water, when he came back he handed her a second cup filled with a steaming green liquid she figured was tea. In about thirty minutes of TV watching the liquid he had given her began to take its affect, and she fell fast asleep.

“Sorry I had to do that” but tomorrow was a school day and he knew Tai would cut her no slack if she got no sleep. So he scooped her into his arms and up to her bed he laid her down and tucked her in, returning, moments later downstairs to wait for Tai.

Tai got home around one and was surprised to see Matt. Matt picked up his guitar and began to leave when Tai stopped him.

“Hey wait” Tai said when Matt was halfway out the door Matt turned and came back in “I have to tell you something important…”

“I am pretty sure I already know” Matt said simply while shutting the door and Tai stared oddly at his friend

“How could you possibly know?”

“T.k paid a visit when you were gone and the three of us had a little chat”

“son-of-a-bitch” Tai said and Matt nodded

“I gave her a sleeping pill, I figured she needed all the sleep she can get because I will bet you anything T.k is going to spread this around but…” Matt smiled evilly “if I find him at my house, I assure you he wont be at school tomorrow” he said laughing.

“Alright Matt, thanks for watching her, bye.:” he said waving goodbye to his friend before going up stairs climbing into his bunk and falling asleep, day cloths and all tomorrow promised to be another challenging day.
