A Murderer in the Mist


By Alias


Ok, thanks for all the reviews on this one, it is like, my most popular story. Um, I decided I had to kill a few more people. I realized Matt only killed 2. Now, I can't do that, can I? And also, So I tried killing the characters I didn't like. Then I found an obvious trend. So basically, the victims are almost random. Another killing in this one, and it's not who you think.

Disclaimer applies: I don't own Digimon.

The group, sans Kari, returned an hour later. They found Matt in his room and reading and Izzy was gone.

"Hey Yamato. . ." Tai said with a suspicious smile. "Where'd Izzy go?"

Matt answered casually, "He said he was going to follow you guys out skiing. Didn't he meet up with you?"

"Uh," Tai wracked his brain, then scratched his head under his wild hair. "He might've. I'll ask around. Maybe he's out there with some snowbunnies."

Matt laughed at this, and Tai didn't find it all that funny. Izzy wasn't that horrible looking.

Tai walked back down the stairs.


Matt walked into the kitchen, past all of the group gathered in the living room. Kari still hadn't returned and he wondered if she had found Izzy.

"Oooooooh Izzy." Matt said in a sing-song voice. Matt heard grumbling from a far corner. "So I see you are enjoying your surroundings. I guess I should feed you." Izzy lightened up at this, thinking that Matt might let him live.

"But then again, maybe not." Matt pulled out a terrifying hand gun, fully loaded. Izzy closed his eyes and tried to prepare him for what was coming.

Matt strode right up to Izzy. He fired. A blank. Izzy shuddered noticeably, then slightly opened one eye. Matt could see a pitiful sight, but didn't care. He returned a gaze of pure hatred.

Just then, the door opened. Kari had been trying the front door, but it wouldn't open so she went around to the side and was coming in throught the cellar.

"Damn. Now I have to kill you to."

Kari's eyes widened, and she turned to run, but Matt raised his gun. "Uh uh uh, I don't think you want to do that. And you were going to leave poor Izzy here?"

Kari looked puzzled, an looked around the room. She saw Izzy by the heater. "No, Izzy." She whispered. Then she raised her voice a bit. "We'll get out of this." Kari turned to Matt and walked closer. She stared right into his eyes.

"Let us GO Matt."

"Ah, silly little Hikari. You don't think I'll let that happen." He waved the gun in Izzy's general direction. "He already knows my entire plan. And you, you walked in on us. I have to kill you, that's just how it works. I hope you see Mimi." He fired. Kari collapsed and a giant pool of red formed around her. She didn't scream, but let out a terrible moan.

"Oh, Mimi's death was so much nicer, she didn't even make a sound. But this is fine enough. I have another one of you dead."

Matt turned back to Izzy. "Well, not what I was hoping for, but. . ." He fired.

Didn't I tell you this would be a cliffhanger?

Hey, I just figured out I never said any couples. Ok, I needed a fic with normal couplings, and I was going to write a new one, but decided instead I would just incorperate that into this one. And by normal, I don't nessacarily mean most popular or ones that are real. I mean ones that aren't slash or really weird [such as Jolei (Jou and Yolei) or Cora (Cody and Sora). See what I mean by weird?]

So here are the couples.Yes, I can say these because they don't exactly further the plot [except for Jyomi, I probably said that wrong].
Tai and Sora (ack. I actually hate this one, but I steeled myself to do normal couples)
Izzy and Yolei (Fa. I kind of put this one in just for kicks [refer to last chapter])
TK and Kari (ERRRR. I HATE Takari, but I promised myself (see, and then I killed Kari, so I am still happy))
and then Jou and Mimi (well, not anymore)
