I'm Coming For You: Part 1
Tk yawned as he took his usual jog. Maybe I'll see Kari, he thought. A smile lit up his handsome face as he thought of her sweet voice. To him, her voice was like a sweet melody, her face…so delicately chisled to perfection…like a porcelain doll…
A longing sigh managed to escape his lips as he thought of his best friend, an angel in disguise. Too bad she didn't feel the same way…
A faint rustling in the bushes put a stop to his thoughts. What was that? He cautiously walked towards the noise. TK got closer till…
"Meow!" A cat jumped out, startling him.
He jumped back in surprise and didn't notice the rock in back of him. "Ah!" he exclaimed as he began to fall down. Unfortunately, this part of the trail was on a slope. Gravity seized the young man, causing him to tumble down in chaotic twirls till he hit something soft. He groaned as he picked himself up and dusted his pants.
"Great job, Tk," he told himself. As he turned to see what he hit, a gasp escaped his lips as it suddenly registered that it was Kari.
"Kari? Kari? Kari!" Kneeling beside her, he noticed a rock, with a paper. "I'm coming for you?" He jumped up and looked around. "Coming for her? I don't think so! Whoever you are, you aren't getting Kari! Not without going through me first! Do you hear me?" He screamed.
"Ohh…"
"Kari!" he immediately softened his angry look as he knelt down again.
"Tk? Is that you?" she whispered.
"Yeah Kari, don't worry. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but my head feels like it was run over by a train," she mumbled.
"Come on, let's get out of here," Tk said, scooping the girl into his arms.
"Tk I can walk. I'm perfectly capable of using my own two fee-ow!" She just laid back in his arms.
"I'm taking you home, and you can tell me what happened on your way home," Tk said.
=============================================================================
"Not getting Kari? Ha, we'll see about that," a voice said as the person watched through the house window at Tk and Kari.
=============================================================================
"Now can you tell me why you have that rock and note from the park?"
"The note was attached to the rock," Tk said.
"I figured that," she replied sarcastacally.
"I'll be coming for you. That's what the note said."
Kari shivered slightly.
"I'm calling your brother," Tk said.
"No, he's home from college. Plus, he's on a date with Sora," Kari stubbornly said.
"Yeah, and they're joining him while he rehearses at Matt and Tk's house. I'm calling his cell. I'm pretty sure he would want to know about something like this. So not another word from you," he replied firmly.
=============================================================================
Tai frowned at Sora and followed her gaze. "Sora, what are you looking at?"
She turned her crimson eyes to him. "Are you jealous?"
"No, don't be silly."
Silly? She turned her head in his direction. "Sure Tai. Of course you're not."
Tai frowned as Matt began singing again.
"I just love his voice…"
Tai turned around disgustingly, as Matt approached them.
"Hey Tai, Sora."
"Hey Matt," Tai replied.
Sora rolled her eyes.
"Okay, guess he's not Mr. Sociable right now. Hey Sora, mind singing this song with me? I need a female to see how it sounds. Just promise not to upturn anyone's stomach." Matt smiled mischieviously at her.
Sora shot him an evil look. "Wait until you hear me sing, you won't be sorry," she promised.
Tai sat in a corner, brooding as he watched his best friend and his girlfriend flirting. His anger cooled down, as Sora's sweet voice filled the air, soothing his senses. He had never known she could sing so…so…what's the word? Good. No better than good.
Ring! Ring!
Tai picked up the phone. "Hello?"
A few minutes later…
"Sora we've gotta go. It's Kari." His eyes filling with genuine concern.
=============================================================================
A figure watched through the window, and fists balled into anger. I leave them for a few hours and he's still there with her. How dare he! How dare she! The figure turned to walk away but saw headlights coming closer, causing her to slink back into the shadows. Damn it! Now how am I going to get in? I just hope I don't get caught hiding.
=============================================================================
Kari stared at her window worriedly.
"Don't worry, no one is going to hurt you," Ken said. He got up and made sure the window was locked. "You're on the second floor, so don't worry."
"How is she?" Tk asked, bringing a cup of tea over to her.
Ding-Dong!
"I'll be right back," Tk said running off to get the door. As soon as he opened it, in walked an angry Tai. He immediately stormed pass Tk and up the stairs.
Sora smiled apologetically at him, as he shut the door. "Sorry, Tai's mad at me, and that phone call didn't help. Plus he couldn't find his house keys."
"Oh," was all Tk could manage to say.
In Kari's room…
"Kari, are you all right?" Tai asked, not bothering to look her in the eyes.
"Yes, I'm fine now," she replied.
He hugged his sister and then left to go call the Digidestined over.
=============================================================================
By now, everyone but Yolei had shown up. Izzy got out his laptop, in an attempt to figure out Kari's stalker. As for Tai, he kept running up to check on Kari, and down to the living room to interrogate everyone.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to check the grounds again," Tai said.
"Tai, we didn't find any clues. What makes you think you'll find some now in the dark?" Joe asked.
"Listen, Kari's my sister, and I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Maybe something might come up. I might find something this time," Tai replied.
"Well, do you at least want me to go?" Sora asked her boyfriend.
"No!" Tai said quickly. "I need to do this alone."
They all watched as he left again.
"Poor Tai, this is tearing him up," Izzy said.
"I guess I would be doing the same if this happened to Tk," Matt replied.
Tk blushed.
A half an hour later…
Tai walks in and just as he sits down, the doorbell rings and in comes Yolei.
"Huh? Why is everyone here? I thought I was the only one sleeping over Kari's house," Yolei said. She looked at the sober faces around her. "What's wrong?"
"Someone attacked Kari," Ken said.
"What?" Yolei gasped. "Well is she okay? Where is she?"
"Calm down," Davis told her. "She's in her room."
"I'm her best friend and I'm going to see her." Yolei immediately rushed to Kari's bedroom. "Kari?" she called, as she pushed the pink door that was left ajar. Yolei turned on the lights and…
=============================================================================
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Everyone jumped at the scream.
"It's Yolei!" Mimi exclaimed.
They all ran up the stairs and saw Yolei standing near an open window. She looked like she was going to faint.
Shivers ran up their spines as they looked around the room. The bedspread was tossed violently to one corner, as a noticeable spot of blood created gasps.
A typed note was in Yolei's shivering, cold hands. "Whoever it was left a note…" she whispered, in fear for her best friend.
Joe took it from her and read it out loud, "I suggest you don't tell anyone, especially the police about this. In case you're wondering what happened to Kari, keep wondering. You should have seen how her eyes were wide with fear. It was classic! Of course her screams were muffled by my hand, and a little chloroform. But that wasn't the best part, while she was too weak to do anything, my knife made a little impression on her arm. Have fun finding her before I get you." Joe's face paled as Tai took the note from his hands and crumbled it.
"No one hurts my sister and gets away with it," he said as fury burned in his eyes.
=============================================================================
Kari's eyes slowly fluttered open as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. Something was over her eyes. "Ohh…where am I?" She tried to move, but found she was tied to a chair and was a little light-headed. What? How did I get here? She struggled with the ropes behind her and gasped as pain shot through her right arm. The cut! She gasped as she remembered what happened. A shiver ran up her spine as the last thing she remembered before blacking out was the cold blade.
"But who? Why?" she asked herself.
"Ah, you're awake."
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Kari demanded.
"Don't worry, you'll eventually find out," the voice said.
"That voice…"
"Remember the Digiworld?"
"…so familiar."
"Of course it's familiar. Are you going to take all day?" the voice asked cruelly.
"Who are you?" Kari asked in wonder. She could feel the blindfold being lifted off her eyes.
"Ta da! It's me!" the voice laughed as she spun around with glee.
"W-what? You? How could you?" Kari gasped.
The girl curtsied.
"I thought you were my friend…" Kari whispered.
"And I thought you were mine, too," she replied.
Kari noticed the sinister smile and saw the cold glint of her eyes of her former friend. Her eyes widened as goosebumps crawled up her skin. "W-what? What do you mean? Why am I here? How?"
