Now, as I'm sure you all arr dying to know what happens, lets start:

Does it really matter that much?

Chapter 3.

"...it's, Matt it was Izzy." I silently sighed as I heared Kaori mutter those words. I wasn't happy, but I was so thankful that it wasn't Tai.

"Wh-what happened?" This was so surreal, I wasn't sure I wanted to know, and I really didn't want to ask Kaori. You see there might have been a tiny detail I never mentioned. Kaori was also dating a good friend of mine. Koushiro Izumi, otherwise known as Izzy.

Izzy was a computer expert and very clever. Kaori was his girlfriend. She was being so... so calm about this. Most girls would cry hysterically, but then this was Kaori we were talking about.

"W-well you k-know I-Izzy. H-he always s-stays after school." Her voice was shaking a little bit more.

"Oh Kaori, I..."

"Well some how, a person b-broke into s-school last n-night. T-they w-were looking for something and they, they... they shot him Matt!" Now she started crying, not hysterically, but still really crying. I couldn't believe it, I felt so sorry for her. After Tai, she was my second best friend. When Sora moved away to America to see Mimi Kaori was there for me. And now it was my turn to be there for her.

"Do you want me to come over?"

"No, Matt, I just want to be alone. Thanks for offering. Matt I have to go now. Goodbye." and I heard the phone click. I felt so bad for her. I went back in my room and changed out of my school clothes. There was only one person who could cheer me up. Tai.

I went back over to the phone. Maybe Tai would be up by now, if he heard the news that is.

"Hello, Kari Kamiya speaking."

"Hey Kari." I said putting on a half cheerful voice.

"Oh Matt, Tai's not here. As soon as he heard the news, he left. I think he went over to see Kaori." Kari was obviously very upset by the dreadful news. I could hear it plainly in the sound of her voice.

"Well thanks Kari. I'll see you soon maybe. Take care." I hung up the phone. This was all so unreal. I just couldn't believe it had happened.

I walked into my bedroom and picked up my bass. Maybe practising would take my mind off things. I tried playing. The tune was right, but it was so empty, there was no emotion. Who was I kidding? Nothing would be able to take my mind off Izzy's death. Not even thinking about Tai.

There was a sharp knock on the door. I sighed and got up to answer. I didn't really want to speak to anyone but it could be someone important.

I opened the wooden door and outside stood the boy i'd wanted to talk to. Breathless.

"Hey Matt. D-did y-you... h-hear the n-news?" He was panting for breath.

"Yeah I did. Kaori called this morning. She said she wanted to be left alone today." I said quietly.

"Yeah, I just found that out. She told me to come here instead. Something you want to tell me?"

"Come in Tai, you must be cold." I said avoiding the question.

Tai followed me into the front room. We sat down on the couch, him looking at me with his honest chocolate coloured eyes.

"So whats up?"

"Well..You see. The thing is... Tai well uh." I couldn't fogure out a way to put it.

"C'mon man it's only me, not the American Army. Spit it out already." I was annoyed at Tai's patience but didn't show it.

"Give me a chance Tai this is important." I looked him eye-to-eye.

"Well tell me already then." I decided to tell him something else.

"It's Kaori, I'm worried about her, and this whole thing with Izzy. It's just so... surreal man. I just want someone to talk to about it all." I said slowly, I was choosing my words as I said it. However, when I did I could have sworn I saw a glimse of saddness in his eyes. But he must of quickly discarded it because after I had blinked, it was gone.

But that's exactly what we did, just talking about everything. Until he went home that evening. I tryed playing again on my guitar, but before nothing came out.

Sorry if this chapter was too short. I just want to spread it out a bit more than my other stories, well did ya like, was it a shock? I wasn't ever planning on killing Tai. Whoever said he was too valuble to the story read my mind! Anywayz please review!
