Chapter 3: Complications

The enormous base stood, covered by sand, but still larger than ever. Ken turns back to Kari. "So..." She smiles. "Thanks Ken..." She says smiling. "I know it must be hard for you..." He shrugs. "No, it's fine..." The approach from the side, a dip in the sand, leading the to the center. The enterance, however, was buried in sand. Ken groans. "We can't get in..." Kari looks up, seeing a giant opening above them. "We could climb..." She suggests. He shakes his head. "It's to high..." Kari sighs. "Whadda we do?" She asks. He is silent. "Come on..." He says suddenly, heading back up the hill. Kari turns and follows.

The door slams in the apartment, and TK strides towards the kitchen sink. He grabs a glass, fills it with water, and drinks. He seems angry, as if he is trying to bottle something away. Matt follows in. "Enjoy yourself?" He asks. Tk glares at him. "Your not going to tell me, are you?" Matt looks questioning. "Tell what?" He asks. Tk shakes his head. "About Kari... and what happened with Sora tonight..."

"Nothing happened tonight.." Matt shrugs, walking past him, towards his room. "Matt!" He shouts. "Tell me!" He seems shakey now. Matt shakes his head. "Nothing TK..." TK slams his fist on the counter. "Where is she Mattt?" He asks. Matt turns around. "Why Tk...? Why should I tell you...?" Tk shakes his head. "Your the one who pushed her away... Caused her to feel and think what she does now, why would I tell you where she is, so that you can go and place that feeling on her now...? Again?" Tk stod silent. It was true... he had pushed her away...

Matt shakes his head. His cell suddenly begins to ring. He pulls it out. "Whats up?" He asks into it. A moment of silence goes by. "Oh..." He says out loud. "Thanks, I'll be there in a bit..." He hangs up. "What!" TK asks. Matt stares at him for a moment. 'Should I tell him...?' He shakes his head. "Nothing, I have to go pick up an old guitar from Mikey..." He begins towards the door. "When will you be back...?" Tk asks. Matt pauses for a moment, then replies. "I don't know..." He then glides out the door, leaving TK alone with his thoughts. "MATT!" Tk screams out, chasing him through the door. Matt is only a few feet away, but stops, and turns back. "Answer me this!" He glares at his older brother. "Why is it that your the only one who know's where she is...?" he questions. Matt stands silent. "WHY! Answer me!" Matt turns and begins to leave once more.

"You love her...Don't you...?" He asks. Matt freezes. "YAMATO!" He shouts. "It's true...?" Matt continues to walk away, not answering the question, leaving Tk once more. Tk sighs, and turns to go back to their small apartment, but something catches his eyes. A Pink feather sitting in the center of the hall.

"Sora! Sora! Answer me Sora..." Comes a squeaky voice belonging to that of a pink bird named Biyomon. A young girl and the bird walk together down a quiet, cold, dark, empty street. Sora's head remain down. Did Matt...Really...Love Kari...? She continues to think, but suddenly hears a noise behind her. She turns to see, but no one is there. She scans the street, but see's no one, and nothing. She sighs. feeling cold, and wanting to hurry home.

She heard another noise, and turned around, just to see a dark figure behind her, a crowbar in hand. She screams, as he swings it, and moves to the side, tripping over a garbage can. "Spiral Twister!" Comes a shriek, and the bid attacks with tiny blue flames, catching the man. He screams, and drops the crowbar to the ground at Sora's feet. He quickly takes her purse before darting away. "Sora!" Screams Biyomon. "Are you hurt! Sora!" But Sora merely sits there, unable to say anything... Lost in fear...
