Yes, Matt does have a sick sense of humor. [Waaaaaassssssuuuuppppp!] But he is a crazed murderer, and I wanted my characters to have fun with it.

Matt looked over Izzy in the basement. He had removed his gag and fed him some, but Izzy looked bad none the less.

"Who did you kill this time Matt?"

"Oh, no one Izzy." Matt stepped closer. "But I have someone in mind."

Izzy cringed. "Why don't you just get it over with Matt? God, how long have I been down here?"

"Why Izzy, so full of questions today. I'll be back for dinner." Matt started to climb the staircase.

"WAIT!"

Matt turned around.

"At least tell me how Jyou is doing."

Matt seemed to think about something for a second, then repiled, "He's holding up nicely. Which brings me to something. The group thinks you are the killer."

"Not for long Matt, not for long. They are smarter than you think."

"No they aren't Izzy, they let their suspicions run away with them. I'll give your regards to Yolei."

"Don't, do, ANYTHING to her."

"Izzy, you've given me a great idea."

"I'll get you Matt, don't think I won't. You can't keep me here forever."

Matt didn't reply and walked up the stairs. Izzy turned to the heater and got an idea.




Ken sat in his room alone. "Great idea Ken, you have a party and someone gets killed, and two people are missing. You sure know how to have fun." He thought outloud. He had been doing that a lot lately. "Come on, you are supposed to be the boy genius. You is the killer? Think!"

Ken wracked his brain. He thought of the sight of Mimi in the pool of blood. Then he thought of the bloody handprint on the wall. "Who?" He asked.



Matt was planning in his room. He had the perfect idea. He was going to take little Cody next. He had grown and was strong, but not as strong as Matt.

So Matt stepped into the empty living room. The fireplace had long since died, no matter what Ken would do to it. Kari's door was open again, but there was no snoring coming from there as there had been in the past. Takeru's room door was also open, and Matt could hear soft crying. There was a slight chill in the air, because Ken thought the fire would last the night. Matt contemplated turning on the heater in the basement so no one would go down there, but he didn't want to disturb Izzy yet. Instead he walked up the stairs and into Cody's room.

"Cody." Matt whispered.

Cody turned in his sheets.

"Cody. Wake up."

Cody opened one eye. "Yamato?"

"Yeah. Get up. I want to show you something. I think I know who the killer is."

Cody opened the other eye. "Really?" He sat up.

"Yeah. Come on. Let's go."

Cody got out of bed. Matt led him out of his room and past Takeru's quietly. Takeru didn't hear them, and if he did, he didn't care. He was worried about Hikari, she was still gone.

Then went down the stairs, very quietly, and into the kitchen. They passed all of the 12 rooms without any suspicion.

"What is it you want to show me?" Asked Cody as they were about to reach the kitchen.

"This." Matt pulled out a brass candle holder.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"It has to do with this." Matt hit Cody over the head with the candelstick and Cody collapsed into his arms.

"Good."

Matt dragged Cody's body the short distance to the kitchen and opened the trap door. "Hey Izzy!" He whispered. "Waaaaasssuup!"

"You are one sick. . ." Izzy trailed off.

"I have a friend for you."

Matt pulled Cody down the stairs and Izzy watched in horror.

"Matt? What have you done?"

"Nothing yet Izzy, you really have to chill. I just hit him on the head."

"Why are you doing this? To him? He's only 10!"

"Oh Izzy, don't be so melodramatic." Matt produced the candelstick.

"No Matt, don't. Don't do this."

Matt ignored Izzy and set to his work.


~~~~~

So, to review, The dead are Mimi, Kari, and now Cody. Matt is the killer. Sora, Izzy, Jou, TK, Ken, Yolei, Davis, Tai, and Matt are still alive. Yes, I am sorry I had to kill Cody. But Matt said he couldn't stand him.

To go off the subject for a second, I have noticed I am switching names from the dub and Japanese. Sorry about that. So I made a little chart.

Takeru=TK
Hikari=Kari
Taichi=Tai
Yamato=Matt
Miyako=Yolei
Daisuke=Davis
Izzy=Koushiro
Jyou=Joe [but I spell the Japanese name Jou]
Mimi=Mimi
Sora=Sora
Iori=Cody [I think I might have said Iori once or twice. Sorry 'bout that]
Ken=Ken [I think this is amazingly cool, but then again I am easily amused]

Hope that helps.
