Part Five: TK Comes A-Visiting!
"Matt, remember TK's coming for a while." Mr. Ishida said as Matt arrived home after the semi-disasterous band practice.
"He is?" Matt stopped.
"Yes, remember? Nancy has to go to some news conference in Okinawa." Mr. Ishida said.
"Great." Matt said, then walked up to his room, Oh, just great. While he's here it's probably gonna be a cold war.

The next day...
"Hey TK, how's it going?" Matt asked as his younger brother walked past his open door.
Instead of replying, TK stormed past. Seconds later, the sound of a slammming door met Matt's ears.
"Uh oh." Matt muttered. He left his math homework and decided to go talk to TK. He walked to his brother's bedroom door and tried the doorknob. It was locked.
"Hey, Matt," Mr. Ishida poked his head around the corner, "I have to go out for a couple of hours. You and TK'll be all right while I'm away, right."
"Of course, Dad." Matt replied.
"There's pizza in the freezer if you want some." Mr. Ishida said as he left.
Matt then turned back to TK's door, "TK? Are you okay?"
Silence.
"TK, answer me." Matt called, beginning to get a little ticked off.
More silence.
"TK, if you don't open the door, I'm gonna break it down!" Matt threatened.
There was a click as the door unlocked and opened.
"What?" TK demanded harshly. His tone and expression were angry, but his eyes were sad.
He's taking it worse than I expected, Matt winced, "Can we talk?"
"About what?" TK asked.
"Kari." Matt said. He braced himself for TK's reaction.
"Go to hell." TK said harshly and slammed the door.
"Dammit." Matt muttered as he truged back to his room, He's acting like someone died, he thought, I didn't know he liked Kari this much.
Instead of going back to his math homework, Matt picked up the phone and dialed Kari's number.
"Hello?" Kari picked up after two rings.
"Kari? Have you talked to TK lately?" Matt asked.
"No. He's been avoiding me." Kari sighed, "So is Tai. He won't even talk to me anymore...well neither will Davis, but that's not a problem."
"Well...TK is here for a couple of days." Matt said.
"Uh oh. What has he said to you?"
"Uhh...about six words. And three of them were 'go to hell'." Matt said wryly.
"Eep. Maybe I should talk to him."
"Yeah, that's gonna work." Matt rolled his eyes.
"Well, it might!" Kari protested.
"Fine. I'll go tell him you want to meet him at the park." Matt sighed.
"Okay. I'll meet him there." Kari said, then hung up the phone.
Time to tell TK that. Matt said. Then he shuddered, I'm a bit afraid of this....don't want him going ballistic like Davis...
He walked down the hall. Then he stopped. I doubt he'll open the door for me...what can I use to get in? then he smiled. He ran down to the kitchen and grabbed a cake-tester [ya know, the pointy-things] and ran back upstairs.
"TK, open the door! I've got a lock-pick with me!" Matt called.
Of course, TK didn't open the door.
Sigh. Why does he have to make it difficult for me? He knows I'll get in. That's how I got in our old apartment when no-one was home. Matt thought, then stuck the cake-tester into the lock. He hear it click and turned the handle.
"TK? Kari wants you to meet her at the park." Matt said, stepping into the room.
"Fine. I'll go." TK snapped, "Aren't you afraid she'll cheat on you?"
"Go before I change my mind about punching you." Matt said.
"Fine." TK said, storming out.
**************
At the park....
Kari sat on a bench, waiting for TK. She looked up to see him coming...and he he didn't look very happy.
Uh oh... was her thoughts.
"What do you want?" TK asked, glaring at her.
Okay, he's scaring me... Kari inwardly winced.
**************
At the Ishida house.
Matt paused, a few minutes after he had sent TK after Kari.
"Oh, crap....I just sent a madman after Kari." he realised, "He might hurt her...actually cause her bodily harm..."
His eyes widened. I'm actually worried? Oh God, I'm actually worried about her...Oh no...no...don't tell me I'm actually starting to like-LIKE her...NO!! She's three years younger than me! That's not right! ARGH! If she was two years younger than me, then it might be all right, but to my knowledge, her birthday isn't anytime soon...Bad Matt, BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!! Matt stopped, smacking himself in the head, like Dobby from Harry Potter. But I still have to go and see Kari...I mean...make sure she's okay...yeah, that's it...wait a sec...why am I lying to myself? I can only read my thoughts, right? Why am I even talking to myself? I'm just gonna go now.
