Kari ran down the rainy streets paying no attention to where she was going. Tears streamed out of her eyes, blending in with the rain running down her face. Takeru… How could you hurt me like that…? She could not stop seeing TK and Sora in her mind's eye. She replayed the memory over and over. She ran down into and alley and stopped against a wall. She just cried. There was nothing else she could do. Two men approached her. "Nice dress you got there. Wonder what you look like when it's been ripped off of you." She looked up. One of the men grabbed her by the arm and threw her to the ground. She screamed.

TK sat on his floor crying. Sora was still sitting on the hotel bed. He felt heat radiating off of the heart ring. It seemed to be glowing. In the back of his mind, something told him Kari was in trouble. He instantly stopped crying and looked up. "Kari," he said quietly. He sprung up, grabbed a shirt, and put it on. He ran out the door, down the stairs, and into the streets of Philadelphia.

TK had no idea where to go. He felt a pull on his right hand. The ring seemed to be directing him. He ran in the direction that the ring was telling him to go. He saw an alley and recognized Kari's crimson dress. She was on the ground and two men were standing over her. He ran over.

"Kari!" TK shouted. The two men looked over at him and moved in his way. He ran up and punched one of them in the face so hard that the man fell over and was knocked out. The other saw his friend and ran. "I'm not gonna let you get away!" TK shouted. He ran after the man. The man seemed to have a limp, and was not as fast as TK. TK caught up with the man and tackled him. He turned the man over and started punching his face. "You'll pay for what you've done!" TK beat the man's face into a bloody pulp.

"Please…" the man gasped out. "Please stop…" TK realized he was about to kill the man and stopped what he was doing. He got up and ran back to where Kari was on the ground. She had gotten up by then, and had seen what TK did to the man.

"How… You almost killed him! How could you do something like that?" Kari asked.

"But… They were going to hurt you…" TK pleaded.

Kari shook her head and ran off. TK was so angry. He clenched his fists. He lifted up his right arm. "Damn it!" he screamed. He slammed the wall next to him with his right arm and broke through the brick. He pulled his hand out and saw that it was glowing red with the ring.
