Part Fourteen -B-
I don't know how… and I don't know why, but Kou-kun is still here… Could this be a trick of some kind? Maybe
to get me to stop looking for Tai?
Tai!
"Kou-kun?" I started, asking the astral form of Koushiro, "Do you know where Tai is?"
He shook his head, "No, I don't, but I will do my best to help look. And we can use little Matty's help too."
"But… that's THREE incarnations of me looking for him! Isn't just two enough?"
"Matty is a lot more innocent than you are, Matt. Perhaps he can think of things and do things that you can't."
"What'sa carnation? Isn't that a flower?" Matty asked, confused. "And who is Tai?"
Kou-kun and I looked at each other for a moment, deciding who should explain. I went with my instincts and
said, "OK, Matty, an incarnation is a different version of the same thing… like a basketball and a soccer ball,
they're both balls, but they're different. Understand that?"
He nodded.
"OK, well, Tai is a very good friend of mine…" I started… I didn't want to scare the kid to death. I remembered
Mini-Me's reaction to hearing that we were gay. "And someone took him away."
"A Stranger?"
"Yes… a stranger."
Immediately Minnier-Me jumped up and shook his little fist, "We have to find him then! You might never see
him again if we don't get moving!"
He ran down the hallway, not even stopping to look back.
"Hey! Wait up, Matty!" I called, chasing after him.
AN- I know, short, but the next parts are gonna be longer!! I swear it! *ducks* please don't hurt me...
