Matt woke with a start in the night, beads of sweat sliding down his face. With an untold fear, he sucked in deep gasps of air, as if it were his last. The darkness was getting closer.

An invisible wind swept in circles out side his window, and for a brief moment held the form of a white maiden. She looked with worried eyes threw the window than let the wind blow her away once more.

Rain pelted the streets of Tokyo, as the lone figure raced past. His breath came in short gasps and he held a panicked look. Every so often he would glance behind him only to let out a slight yelp and continue on at an even faster pace.

Everything he saw seemed to have a grotesque shape and every shadow held untold dangers. Finally he came to his assumed destination. In a mad dash he raced to the buildings entrance and threw to the elevator, taking no heed to the door man.

He desperately swatted his soaked blond locks out of his face, in an effort to see better. He jabbed at the elevators button but it's light of salvation did not appear. It was dead. The frightened teen jumped two steps back and than whirled around searching for An escape. It was at that moment the lights went out.

A mad shuffle pursued, the figure ran with shivering breaths to the emergency stairs and began racing up the flight. " Fifth floor, fifth floor." The figure repeated in a hasty jumble of words.

The darkness was at his heels.

He threw the fifth floor exit door open with a mad mans strength and rushed down the maze of numbered doors. "506" He let out a quick sigh of relief. "506" Than he remembered the blackness. He dashed to the door ramming his fists into the door, "Let me in PLEASE let me in!"

He began to panic. Why was no one answering?? Was no one home? He glanced fearfully down the hall way and let a curse pass his lips. And than finally salvation. The door opened.

Without another thought he rushed threw the door and slammed it shut behind him. "Lock it! Lock the door!" He screamed at the person who had answered it. His vision was but blurs from his fright. He could not make out their face.

He smiled as he heard the hurried click of locks and than his weariness over took him. As he sank to the floor he whispered a barley audible "thank you." And than he lost consciousness.

``` Behind the door the blackness receded. In a silent his it spoke the word, "almost" Than shrank back down the stair way.

Matt awoke to damp hair in his face and blinding sun light. For a moment he did not recall his mad dash to this house but his memory was quick to return. "TAI!" He sat up.

Gentle hands stretched out to push him back down. "Just a sec Yama, Tai's not here right now he went ot go get some medicine."

Under weary eyes Matt looked at the brunette beauty. Kari. "Medicine?"

"Yes you have a fever."

"Fever." He glanced down at his hands in confusion, "No, it was more than a fever."

Kari waited a moment before asking the next question. "What happened last night Matt?"

Another long pause was followed than Matt answered. " Something was hunting me. It came in my sleep. I'm sorry I had to get away-I didn't know where to go-Dad was gone-T.K lives all the way across the city. I-"

Kari gave the distressed Matt a warm hug. "Don't worry Matt. You did the right thing. Whatever was chasing you is gone now."

Matt melted into the embrace. It felt so warm.

"It'll come back. It always does but never like it did last night."

Kari let an involuntary shiver roll down her back. "Don't worry. We'll protect you."
