This chapter is short and does not contain the fighting between Matt and Ken. I had it all typed out, but I didn't like it. I felt that there was something missing. A talk between Tai and Matt was needed. Something serious before the downfall of their enemy. So here you go. Hope you like it.

Taichi's point of view

I found the door to Matt's place unlocked when I got there. I just let myself in since I practically lived there anyway. It was quiet and cold in the house. It made me wonder if Yama had made it home yet. He was not in the living room, nor in the kitchen, nor the bathroom or his father's room. That leaves one place left for my Yama to be. In his room sitting in a chair by the window. He was deep in thought. Deep in dark thoughts.

"You're thinking about him again aren't you? You know Yama, I don't like you thinking about other men." It was half a joke, but somehow it hurt me.

He ignored me once again just like how he ignored me earlier today. It's not as if we really truly broke up. We were just playing along with Ken's little game. I think that the game has gone to far however. If it goes on for much longer I'm afraid that I'll lose my Yama forever.

He spends all of his time thinking of ways to destroy that very thing that has made him this way. Every minute of the day is spent plotting ways to his demise. I ask myself what kind of beasts would sink so low as this. What kind of sick animal would wish to destroy the same kind?

I told Matt many times that he didn't have to do this. I told him that it would be okay, that we should just tell his parents what kind of a son they have. He didn't listen to me though. He only has one thing in his mind and that is to destroy.

"Yamato, I'm worried about you." I said.

He turned in his chair to look me in the eye. His eyes were cold and filled with hatred, hatred that Ken had made. His eyes made me want to look away, but I knew that I couldn't do that to him. Not when he needed me the most. I would have to be strong for him. I would have to have all the courage in the world.

"Tai don't call me that." he then smiled at me.

His eyes! His eyes! They aren't filled with hate and fear anymore. They are filled with something else. Something that I recognize from him. Something called love. The beautiful, dazzling eyes.

"I love you Tai. Please don't be worried. It's just Ken. He wouldn't be able to do anything to me no matter how evil he is. And I wasn't thinking about him either. Why would I want to think about him?"

"If you weren't thinking about him then what were you thinking of?"

"Maybe I was thinking about you?"

"You wouldn't have looked like that if you were thinking of me."

"You're right. I wasn't thinking about you. I was thinking about your sister."

"That makes me feel better."

"Tai you're the only one I love. It's just she's having my baby. I haven't really thought about it before because I didn't want to, but I have to think about it Tai. I have to hold responsibility for this child. I have to be a good father and take care of it. And that's what I was thinking about just a moment ago. I was trying to figure out what to do."

I'm not very good at the thinking kind of thing so I have no idea what kind of things could have been running through his head. To be a father has to be a difficult thing especially if you were just getting out of high school. Even worse was for my sister who would become a mother at the young age of fourteen. The more I think about it the more my head hurts. Maybe it's because I'm not used to doing it or maybe because I'm scared.

I'm scared for my relationship with Matt. I'm scared for him, but most of all I'm scared for my baby sister. I would do everything in my power for her and yet I can't think of a way to help her out of this. I can't do anything to get her out of this mess. I can't do a thing.

"Matt I want to help my sister. I'm sure it's hard for her, but there's nothing I can do." I said with tears running down my face.

"Don't cry Tai. It's too weird to see you cry and besides you can help your sister. We're almost out of high school Tai. We're old enough to live on our own and I want to ask you something."

"What is it Yama?"

"I want you to move in with me."

Move in with Matt? Move in with Matt? My Yama? My one and only love? The boy that makes my heart beat so fast that it feels like it could burst? He wants to move in with me? He wants to move in with me. I don't know what to do. I mean I want to move in with him, but I don't know how my parents would react to this and if I could handle it.

And how is this helping Kari exactly. Unless he's suggesting what I think he is. No, I can't do that. That's to much responsibility. It's to much for someone like me to deal with. I may be an adult now, but I immature. I'm irresponsible. I can't take care of anything.

"I can't Yama. I can't."

"What are you afraid of Tai?"

I sat down on his bed and let my tears gush down my face. I would have loved to move in with the man I loved, but not now. Not when so many things were happening. Not so soon after we finished high school. We needed time to figure ourselves out first. We needed time for ourselves, to learn how to live alone. And how could I live with him when he was having a baby. I don't like babies.

"Yama, I don't want to grow up."

He got up from his chair and slowly made his way to me. I felt like pushing him away, but when he touched his hand to my face I knew that I needed him. I couldn't help but give in when he reached out his arms to me and held me close.

"Tai, you have to grow up. If we are in love Tai then we'll make it through anything. Don't be afraid Tai. I love you."

"I love you Yama. I love you, but I don't want to live with you."

"I understand Tai. I just want you be happy and I know that eventually you'll want to move in with me. I already have a place and a job to pay for it. I'm going to take care of my mistakes Tai."

"Not like you make a lot. You're perfect Yama."

"You'd be surprised Tai."

"So what are you going to do Matt? What are you going to do about Ken, about Kari, about the baby?"

"I'm going to do what any real man would do Tai. I'm going to take care of the child I helped your sister to make. Are you laughing at me Tai?"

"No." What would I, Taichi, be laughing about? There is nothing funny here. It is not funny to see Yama talking serious. It is not funny that I love him so much.

"Tai you're a real jerk sometimes you know that. I try to talk to you about important stuff and you laugh at me."

"It's because you're so cute Yama."

"And?"

"And I understand that you will take care of my sister and your child. I understand that you love me Yama. I knew all that already. Tell me how you are going to take care of your responsibilities. Tell me everything Yama. I need to know."

So Yama told me everything I wanted to know. He told me where he would be living. He told me how he would take care of this child that my sister would have in just five months now. He told me everything. He told me what I wanted to hear.

The next chapter will have the fight between Matt and Ken so don't worry. This is just something I needed to add.
