Part Three: Returning Home.

TK slowly paced the room, a look of horrified fear still plastered on his face. "TK, chill. I'm alright," Matt's weak voice said as he watched his brother from his position on the couch. TK stopped his worried stride to look at his brother as though he couldn't believe that the older blonde was still there with him. Tears came to the young boys eyes, while he turned away in disgust, and started his pacing again. Sighing in defeat, Matt turned his attention back to the other occupants of the small hotel room. Sitting across from him were the other band members, all of which, had a look of utter disbelief on their faces. It was one thing to know that their leader was having attempts made on his life; it was another thing to see one of the attempts. Fear reflected on the older boys' eyes as their gaze watched their leader for some sort of reassurance. Matt gave them a small smile before he shifted his attention to the only adult in the room. The band's manager was currently yelling into his cell phone, while he stared at the wall in frustration.

"This is bad boys," the manager announced as he hung up and looked over at the children who were giving him questioning gazes. "No one has been able to figure out who is behind this attack, and that means that the tour will have to end. We're going to lose millions because of this," the man growled as Matt's face hardened.

"Who says it was an attempt? I bet it was just faulty wiring," Matt said seemingly unfazed from the ordeal. TK stopped his pacing as he turned to his brother with a look that demanded attention.

"Matt, someone just electrocuted you, how can you just brush it off like that?" TK demanded, causing Matt to wince slightly at his brother's tone.

"TK, there is no proof that it was deliberate," Matt said watching in annoyance as TK clenched his hands, and shook his head stubbornly.

"I don't care, I don't want you to perform until I know for sure that it is safe for you," TK announced. Matt winced again, as he turned his pale face from his brother to the pillow his head was resting on. Matt understood his brother's protectiveness, he had been the same way not too long ago, but it felt weird knowing that it was his little brother that had him under a protective wing.

"Who can blame him?" Matt wondered as he thought about the event. As soon as he had touched the microphone, a searing pain had entered him, and he had collapsed. From what he heard; after he had collapsed, the crowd had panicked, and all his fans tried to get onto the stage. The body guards had to turn to pretty drastic measures to keep the fans from invading the stage, while TK and the other band members tried their best to help him. Finally the chaos ended, and his limp body was carried off of the stage, and over to his hotel room. Ten minutes later he had gained consciousness, and had to force what happened out of his sobbing brother. He still felt sick, and disorientated, but Matt knew that he had a lot of work ahead of him if he didn't want his career to end. Already there were news reports about the incidents, and talk about the band leaving tonight. He had to finish the concert, but the look in TK's eyes plainly told him that there was no way his younger brother was going to let that happen.

"So it's over," the drummer asked looking down at his hands with a regretful look. Matt turned around to face him with defeat written all over his face.

"I'm afraid so," the manager said rubbing his temples in a futile attempt to stop the headache that was forming. Silence filled the room, everyone waiting for some sort of distraction to end the unwanted tension, but none of them were willing to make a noise. Finally the silence was shattered as the sound of yelling could be heard outside of the door.

"I have to see him!" a girl's muffled voice could be heard from outside of the room. Matt and TK looked up startled with recognition in their eyes.

"Mimi," Matt mouthed as TK headed toward the door, swinging it open, allowing a brown haired girl to enter the room. Mimi stopped as soon as she was sure that the bodyguard that was chasing her wouldn't toss her outside.

"It's too late now, Matt and TK wont let him touch me," Mimi thought as she gave TK a thankful smile, before her eyes found Matt lying on the couch. A gasp of relief could be heard as Mimi flung herself toward the blonde. "Matt, I'm so glad you're alright," Mimi said as her arms snaked their way around Matt's neck. Matt stared at the girl in shock for a moment, before his arms wrapped around the girl's waste.

"It's alright Mimi, I'm fine," Matt mumbled softly in the girl's ear, well aware of the teasing look the other band member's where giving him. "Well at least their spirits are rising," Matt thought looking over Mimi's shoulder toward the bodyguard that was currently being held back by TK. "It's alright Alex, Mimi is my friend," Matt said as the bodyguard stopped and gave the manager a defensive look.

"It wasn't my fault, sir. A bunch of kids showed up at the hotel entrance, and tried to make their way inside. That girl slipped by while her friends created a diversion," the bodyguard Alex said as the manager nodded. He knew it would only be a matter of time before someone was able to get into the hotel, he just didn't suspect that that girl could organize such a plan in such a short period of time.

"Is she the only one that got into the building," the manager demanded as Alex nodded.

"Yes, not even the other occupants have been allowed entrance," Alex said relaxing as the manager gave him a dismissive wave.

TK smiled triumphantly as the bodyguard grudgingly made his way past him. He never did like Alex, to him, Alex had always stoke him as a giant bully. Still when it came to stopping crazed fans, having a brainless giant wasn't all that bad. "So what happens now," TK heard Mimi ask as he turned toward Matt.

"We go home, there isn't anything else for us to do know," Matt said sitting up, with a little help from Mimi. "Hey Mimi, why don't you come back with us, spend the rest of the summer with us? And maybe if your parents allow it, you can go to school with us under the foreign exchange program," Matt asked in a hopefulness that could make the child of hope jealous. Mimi laughed as she looked at the hopeful looks of all of the boys in the room.

"Boys will be boys," Mimi mumbled knowing quit well that most boys would do anything to get her to look their way. Her eyes gazed around the room teasingly as her face wrinkled in thought. "I don't know…" Mimi mumbled watching satisfied as the band members leaned forward toward her. "Of course, I'll just call my dad, and get his permission," Mimi said as four cell phones were offered to her. Another laugh escaped her lips as she took Matt's phone, and dialed her home number. Everyone watched with their finger's crossed as Mimi carefully begged her father. Finally she smiled triumphantly as she gave the group a thumbs up.

Tai watched as Mimi and the band made their way toward them. It had been a pleasant shock when Matt had called him to let him know that Mimi was going to come back to Japan for a year. Instantly he had informed the other digidestineds about the news, and each one had began to work on how to make Mimi's stay a pleasant one. Izzy had begun working on the foreign exchange program, and it wasn't long before he had gotten Mimi into the school. It was much easier just because Mimi had once been a resident, and had attended Odaiba elementary school. With a little help from Yolie, Sora had convinced her mother to allow Mimi to stay with them, with the promise that they wouldn't stay up all night talking. After all of the arrangements had been made, Tai had called Matt, and explained everything to him. And by the look on Mimi's face, the girl seemed to be happy with the plans. "Mimi, it is so good to see you again," Yolie yelled as she pulled the girl into a hug. Mimi smiled at Yolie, while her eyes studied her friend. Yolie hadn't changed all that much, except that she didn't seem so boy hungry and nerdy.

"It's good to be back," Mimi said pulling out of the friendly embrace, only to receive another hug from Sora. Mimi and Sora stayed in the embrace for a second before they pulled apart, and Mimi finished greeting her other friends.

Matt watched tiredly as the exchange continued, it had been a long trip, and all he wanted to do was go to sleep in his familiar bed. He had fully recovered from the shock he had received, but his lack of sleep was beginning to get to him. It had been almost a month now since he had had a descent nights sleep, and his body was beginning to feel it. Every second his head pounded with a dull headache, and his reflex and concentration were slipping. But the worst thing about this was that he swore he could feel a dark cloud creeping toward him. "Matt!" Matt's thoughts were interrupted by Tai's cheerful voice as his best friend studied him carefully.

"Yeah Tai?" Matt asked trying to hold back a yawn, but was unsuccessful. Tai's eyes hardened in worry.

"So why the sudden return. You weren't supposed to be back for another three days," Tai said causing Matt to shift uneasily. By now the rest of the digidestineds were starring at him, while his band members and Mimi tried their best to make themselves invisible. After much work, Matt and the manager were able to keep the news of the attack from spreading out of New York, and Matt had begged everyone who knew not to let anybody know.

"Um, I was homesick," Matt said shrugging his shoulders and flashing everyone a small smile. Tai just stared at him suspiciously as he crossed his arms across his chest, and looking at Matt carefully. "What, it's true," Matt said defensively as he his expression turned to one of teasing, "Didn't you miss me," Matt finished with a little pout. Tai rolled his eyes before he turned away in defeat.

"You're impossible Ishida," Tai mumbled before the group of kids began to leave.

Kari watched TK carefully as they made their way out of the airport. "There is something they aren't telling us," Kari thought pushing Davis's arm off of her shoulder. Davis pouted a little while Kari shot him an annoyed look. "Why did I even start dating him?" Kari asked herself as she ran to catch up with TK. "TK," Kari said as the blonde turned to look at her.

"Yes Kari?" TK said in his low soft voice that made Kari want to melt in her shoes.

"How was the tour?" Kari asked softly as TK shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, I guess," TK responded, stopping when he noticed a strange look cross over Kari's face. "Kari, what is it?" TK asked concerned as he followed the girl's gaze toward a tall slender women leaning against the wall. The women was breathtakingly beautiful, with flowing light blonde hair, and a body that rivaled that of Angewomon. "Who is she?" TK asked softly turning so that it wasn't obvious that he was talking about her.

"I have no idea, but she feels different. Sort of dangerous, and yet she also feels angel like," Kari mumbled giving TK a concerned look. "I have no idea who she is, but she has been watching your brother for some time now. TK what is the real reason that the tour ended three days earlier?" Kari asked noticing that all color had drained from TK's face.

"Could she be the one behind all of the attacks?" TK wondered in disbelief as his gaze went to look at the women again. But in the short second that he had turned away, the women seemed to have vanished into thin air.

TBC.
