Chapter 4
"So you're telling me that this person who calls himself Darkness is fo real!" Tai was sitting on the couch,
talking to Kari. "Yes! He says I have to break up my relationship with TK or else he will kill me!" She looked
hurt. "Don't worry Kari, we'll find out who he is!" "I hope so!" Kari worried. "What else did he tell you?" Tai asked
her. "He said that it was my last warning! I'm scared!" she replied. "What I don't understand is why he told me to
break up with Sora? I don't like her anyway!" He looked at the note. "Well, you'd better go with the others to the
digital world. I got soccer practice again, okay?" Tai stood up and walked out the door. "Bye!"

At soccer practice Tai found that Sora was there, watching him and cheering for him. "Why do I feel weird?"
he thought. It really bothered him that she was always there, looking at him all the time. "Maybe I do like her but
can't feel it yet," he thought. "Either way, I have to stay away from her. But how?" It was dark but the coach
insisted they kept practicing. Tai looked at his wristwatch. It was 7:30pm. "Mom would be worried if I didn't get
home soon. 'Ok practice is over!" said the coach. "Just my luck!" thought Tai. "I could still get home on time!"
He went inside to change.

"WHAT! How dare Tai be with Sora after all of what I did?" Darkness was furious. "It is time to strike..."

"Wait up Tai!" called Sora. She caught up to him. "Umm, I'm sorry that what I said to you yesterday," she
continued. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so mean to you!" explained Tai. "Do you forgive me?" Sora
blushed. "Yes!" He turned around and looked at her. Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone hold
something shiny and pointy up a tree. "Oh no! Sora look out!" He threw his body at her and both of them fell down,
barely missing the swipe of a shiny dagger. "Sora! Are you ok?" he stood up and looked at her. "Yes! But why
did you push me?" she scolded. "There is no time! Run!" he grabbed her hand and ran like crazy. After a while
he stopped and looked behind. The shadow was following them and was gaining on them! again he ran until they
got to his apartment. When they got inside Kari was there, watching television. "Taichi Kamiya, what was that all
about!?" shouted Sora. "Akillerisonthelooseandhe'souttogetus!" panted Tai. "What? Repeat that please!" Tai
spoke up again, more clearly. "A killer is on the loose and he's out to get you, me, Kari and TK. He wants up to
break up for some reason. He calls himself Darkness!" Tai answered. "So you actually saved me?" Sora's eyes
brightened. "Well, I guess!" Tai replied. "Oh, I love you Tai!" she exclaimed. "Don't say that, especially in front of
my sister!" Tai accused. "Oh don't worry, I heard it all!" said Kari, coming out of the living room. "Kari, what should
we do? He's already trying to get us! We need to tell the others!" Tai spoke up. "No, we can't tell the others!" she
said solemnly. "What about Izzy? He could track down the person on his computer!" suggested Tai. "NO!" Kari
replied. "No one should know about this, not even TK! I'll try to stay away from him for a few days!" "Would you
like to sleep here tonight, Sora? Tai asked. "Sure!" she replied. "You can use my old clothes," Tai told her.

"I will have my revenge on Tai!" "And Kari will go down with him!" Darkness laughed. "No one escapes my
evil plots!" With that he sharpened his dagger and went to sleep. In his mind was a beautiful plan waiting to
work.
