Chapter 9: Kari is Dead?

Kari's pov

The others ran to us then we all ran. When we reached a cliff I yelled, "On the count of 3, we all jump!"

Then Tai and I said, "1,2,3, JUMP!"

We jumped off and landed safely in the water below. Then I knew Ken would not even dare come after us.

"Now we're safe until he decides to try to get us again." I said to everyone.

"Why is he after me now?" Matt asked.

"Remember what Ken wanted? To watch Tai suffer, which he was until you yelled at him saying that I was crying. You stopped Ken from getting what he wanted." I answered.

"Oh, that's why. Ok."

"Now what's the plan?" Joe asked Tai.

That was when Tai said 3 words I didn't know he could say, "I don't know."

Joe's pov

I was speechless when Tai said he didn't know what we should do. After a moment of shock Kari started to sing, "I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house that don't bother me, I can a few tears now and the and just let them out, I'm not afraid to cry every once in awhile even though going on with you gone still upsets me…"

She was looking at Tai for certain parts of the entire song. Then each time she repeated the song one of us joined her starting with T.K. By the time we started walking we all were singing along with Kari. As she sang she smiled. This was the fun part about our group of 8 we could take a bad day and make it into a fun one. It started to get dark and it was a Sunday. "We have school tomorrow!" I yelled, making everyone jump.

Sora's pov

"What are we gonna do?" Joe asked.

Kari answered, "I know who I can call and will understand."

So with that Kari made the call and told us that our teachers will think that we were at a funeral tomorrow. She also said that the principal knows the truth because Gennai told her.

"So that means we can stay here till tomorrow?" Mimi asked.

"Yes but we might want to find a DigiPort and stay near it. But it needs to be close to our homes." Kari answered.

"I can help with that!" Izzy said.

Then we found a cave to sleep in.

Tai's pov

When we got in the cave Izzy and Kari took out their laptops. Kari started hers up and only managed to press one key before she collapsed.

"KARI!" T.K and I yelled.

Izzy scanned her laptop and said, "Ken is a genius, evil, but a genius none the less."

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"It means that Ken found… a… a way to… to poison Kari using her keyboard but without going near it or touching it." He answered hesitantly.

"WHAT?" We all yelled.

But I mostly whispered it because when Izzy said that I felt my heart sink. The darkness returned because this was a nightmare. It was my greatest fear and my worst nightmare, which only made the darkness bigger.

Matt's pov

At this point Tai was a mess and so was T.K but he was trying care for Kari. Yah, you could tell that he loved her.

Gennai just appeared by us and said, "Soon the prophecy will be fulfilled."

"So, the prophecy did mean T.K and Kari," I said.

"Yes, Matt it did." He replied then left.

We tried to get Tai to listen to us and let go of the darkness.

"Without Kari there is no light in my heart only darkness, no light," was all he said.

It was weird because he was looking at Sora and Kari as he said it.
