"Oh God," Yamato whispered looking inside the door before he pushed the door aside and walked all the way inside. Taichi barely managed to follow his friend. The inside of Taichi's apartment had been torn up completely.
The couch in the living room had been cut with a knife and the stuffing was scattered all over the floor.
Bookcases had been thrown to the floor, their contents scattered around the room.
Holes had been made in the wall with a knife, and the wallpaper hung down the wall like ivy.
The T.V. had been thrown to the floor, and it lay shattered next to the coffee table, which had been snapped in half.
The stereo had been pulled from the shelf, which had ripped the cords from the wall. The stereo had been thrown across the room, making scratch marks on the wooden floor. The speakers had been upturned, and the netting on top of them had been cut through and torn away.
The computer had a hole in the screen and the keyboard lay in pieces on the floor, next to the actual computer, which had a dent in it.
The computer desk was overturned sending the ceramic lamp crashing to the ground which now lay in pieces.
Pictures had been torn from the walls and shattered on the floor. Certain frames had been torn apart and scattered around the room.
Someone had obviously broken into this house meaning to destroy it, since nothing seemed missing. Instead of taking the T.V., Stereo, and Computer, they were just destroyed.
Taichi's breathing became more erratic as he stared at the ruins in front of him. He began to hyperventilate from shock. "Y. . .Y. . .Yama," Taichi wheezed out before his knees gave out from the initial shock. Yamato barely had time to catch the brunette as he was in shock too.
"I. . .It's okay Taichi," Yamato attempted to soothe, "it's going to be fine. C'mon now breathe for me."
Taichi just continued to hyperventilate as Yamato ordered him to breathe. Suddenly Taichi stiffened and jumped to his feet as he had a thought. "KARI!" he screamed and ran to the back of the apartment where Kari's room was.
"Oh God," Yamato repeated as he took off towards her room as well. The room was not in shambles like the rest of the house, but Kari was nowhere to be found.
"Yama," Taichi whispered turning to look at Yamato, "Where is she?" Taichi looked lost and Yamato didn't know how to respond.
"I don't know Taichi, but don't panic yet. . .let's just look for her first okay?"
"O. . .okay," Taichi responded. They pair walked into the kitchen. In the kitchen glasses were broken on the floor along with dishes. The table was overturned and the chairs were all broken.
Silently, Yamato picked up the table and righted it. Something on the refrigerator caught his eye, and Yamato leaned in to see what it was. His eyes lit up as he ripped the red paper which had caught his attention from the refrigerator. "TAICHI!" he called excitedly.
Taichi turned around quickly, obviously startled. "What?" he asked in near panic.
"Kari is at T.K.'s house with Daisuke, and the rest of the younger kids. Here's the note!" Yamato said happily waving the note in front of Taichi who snatched it and read it quickly. As Taichi read the note, his body sagged in relief with every word.
"Oh thank God," Taichi whispered falling against the wall and closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Yamato patted Taichi's shoulder and let loose his own breath of fresh air.
"C'mon Taichi, let's call Kari and make sure she made it there," Yamato suggested.
"Okay," Taichi agreed. The two climbed over the obstacles to Taichi's room which was in shambles. Yamato looked to Taichi's bed and saw the mattress was all cut up and his papers were all over the floor.
Yamato was about to comment on how clean Taichi's room was now compared to how it normally was when he felt Taichi collapse to his knees next to him. "TAICHI!" Yamato cried in surprise stooping next to Taichi.
Taichi was staring pale faced at the opposite wall breathing heavily from fear. Yamato followed his gaze to the wall before gasping and pulling Taichi to him. "It's okay Taichi, It's okay," Yamato Soothed.
Taichi still stared straight ahead and Yamato had to pull Taichi's head away from the wall.
"Taichi look at me okay?" Yamato ordered. Taichi's eyes remained glazed over. "Dammit Taichi look at me!" Yamato yelled shaking Taichi who finally seemed to focus on Yamato.
"That's better," Yamato sighed, "Taichi, are your parents going to be here tonight?" Taichi shook his head. "What about tomorrow?" Again a shake of the head and he mumbled something that sounded like "Vacation for a week."
Yamato sighed and looked his best friend in the eyes. "Taichi listen to me, I want you to pack some stuff okay? You're not staying here tonight, you're staying with me. And we'll call Kari and make her stay at T.K.'s. . .do you understand me?"
"Y. . .yes," Taichi answered blankly still wide eyed, "but what about the house?"
"We can clean it up tomorrow," Yamato answered, "Okay?"
"Okay," Taichi replied.
"Good," Yamato replied, releasing Taichi. "Now go pack."
Taichi did as asked and found an overnight bag. He walked around his room gathering some random things he wanted to save, then left the room to go to the laundry room to get some clothes for a few nights.
Yamato stood and began to follow Taichi out the door stealing one last glance at the note which had been scrawled on Taichi's wall in red, bold letters, narrowing his eyes in anger as he read the words again.
"IT AINT OVER TAICHI KAMIYA! THAT'S RIGHT WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU LIVE. BELIEVE ME, YOU'LL REGRET SEEING WHAT YOU SAW"
'Believe ME,' Yamato thought bitterly to himself, as he slammed the door to Taichi's room, 'he already does.'
