"MATT!"
The moment Tai awoke, he began to struggle so hard that Matt had trouble hanging on to him. The blonde tried to shout out to Tai over the other boy's screaming, but nothing worked.
"No, Matt, don't go! Don't leave me alone here!" He shouted, over and over. Matt, finally getting sick of hanging on to the squirming teen, just dropped him. The jolt was enough to shock Tai out of his, well, shock.
"I'm right here, you idiot!" Matt snapped, "And I haven't gone anywhere. So stop screaming, or you're going to bring the entire Digital world over to us. And I'm sure some of them are hungry," then Matt turned and walked back the way he came. Tai stared after him for a moment, then scrambled to his feet.
"Hey, wait!" he shouted, dashing after Matt's retreating back, "Matt, wait up!" When he finally caught up, he turned towards his companion.
"Matt, where are we? And where are the others?" he asked quietly. Matt stiffened and stopped. Tai frowned.
"I don't know," Matt whispered. Tai noticed how ridged he looked. He was obviously worrying about TK again. Tai rested his hand on the taller boy's shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay man. I'm worried about Kari too. But we'll find them," He gave Matt's shoulder a reassuring squeeze, "We always do."
"But what's if." he began, but then stopped short. He glared at Tai, "Don't touch me," he hissed, then started walking again. Tai stared at him.
"Well sorry!" he shouted, "I didn't mean to hurt your precious pride! Do you want me to kiss it better?"
To Tai's absolute surprise, Matt froze mid-step and turned, fire raging in his eyes. The Keeper of Courage faltered under that fiery gaze.
"Leave me alone, Tai," he hissed. Then, without warning, he turned and disappeared into the trees. Tai gaped at the spot he had just been in. What had that been about? Right about then, Tai would have given anything to know what Matt had been thinking. But when he realized that he was being left behind, he dashed after the only person he knew was left.
"Hey, Matt! Come back here! I'm not done with you yet!" Tai screamed, but it was no use. Matt was gone.
"Don't leave me," Tai whispered.

Matt stomped through the woods, very pissed off at the brunette. He whacked bushed, branches, and other vegetation out of his way as he continued on his warpath. In truth, he was surprised that no Digimon had attacked him yet, with all the noise he was making. Then again, he was so pissed off, that maybe they were afraid that he'd eat them.
Then, all of the sudden, a scream tore through the peaceful forest. Matt's head shot up.
"That sounded like Tai!"
And with that, Matt ran back the way he came. That's when he rushed into the clearing he had left Tai in. The sigh that met him made his blood turn cold.
Holding Tai up to a tree by his neck was a Digimon that looked like a black ninja. The Ninja-like Digimon had a star-shaped blade pressing into Tai's neck where he wasn't strangling him. Tai was trying to pry the Ninja's hand off of his neck to get some air, but nothing seemed to be working. His skin was already tinged blue.
"Let go of him!" Mat screamed, running forward. With a shout, he rammed into the Ninja's side. The Ninja, surprised, dropped both Tai and his throwing star, and turned to his attacker. Matt tried punching at the Digimon, but without the element of surprise, he couldn't overpower the Ninja Digimon. Soon, the ninja had him pinned, with a dagger to his neck. Matt closed his eyes in anticipation of the end.
But to his immense surprise, instead of slicing his throat open, the Ninja shouted in surprise and dropped his dagger, rolling off of his prey. When Matt looked up, he saw that the Ninja's own throwing star was lodged in his arm, right above his elbow. Tai stood right behind him.
"Leave us alone," He panted. The Ninja stared at them both for a moment. Then to both boys' shock, he gave them a sort of appraising look. Then, with a bow, he disappeared.
"What was that all about?" Tai asked, finally getting his breath back, "I mean, one minute, I'm standing here, minding my own business, when he attacks me out of no where. And then, when he has full capabilities to kill us both, he just leaves. I don't get it!"
"I'm not sure. But what I do know is that he was following me earlier," He looked up at the trees around him, "aside from that, I'm just as confused as you."
"Hey, Matt?"
"Hm?"
"Well," Tai began, "You know that another Digimon could attack us again at any time. Plus, it will be easier and faster to find the others with two people. So what do you say?" He asked, holding out a hand, "Truce?"
Matt paused, staring at the offered appendage.
"Yeah," He said, taking Tai's hand into his own, "Truce."
"Well then," Tai grinned, "let's go get the others!"
And the two friends took off to search the woods.
