Hey. I'm back with another chapter. Thanks for the reviews.

And I would like to take the time to say that you have no need to worry about Mimi's parental units returning home anytime soon. As this is still only the first night.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.

This chapter is dedicated to: Marie Darkholme. (Although I'm not sure this chapter is one you'd want…) Not my personal best. Sorry Marie.

.--.BEGIN CHAPTER.--.

Mimi scrambled to her feet and looked around the room in fear.

"Um… do you think this is going against what the parental unit's just said Kari?"

"Uh… maybe." Tai took Sora's hand in his and pulled her trembling body close.

"What do we do now?" Tk bit his lip and pulled Kari to himself.

"We hide."

"You think that'll work Meems?"

"It has to. I'll lock the doors."

"Mimi, you take care of this door. I'll get the back door." Kari started to pull away, but Tk grabbed her wrist.

"No one splits up. I'll go with Kari." They all nodded.

"You two head upstairs." Tai and Sora nodded and made their way up the stairs. Kari and Tk ran to the kitchen. The phone began to ring again.

"Don't answer that." Everyone stayed still. The answering machine picked up.

"Hello people of the Tachikawa household. We are on our way over. Can't wait to see you." The voice was taunting them. An evil smirk evident in the tone.

"Tk and Kari better hurry up." Like magic, the two came walking through the door. "Ok you guys, they…"

"We heard the message."

"Okay." Matt and Mimi heard a noise. They ran to the bathroom. "Come on!"

"No, we'll go in the closet. Three different hiding spots are better." Matt nodded and shut the door. Tk go tin the closet and was pulling Kari towards him when the kitchen door swung open.

"Hey, did you forget the windows?" Kari smacked herself on the forehead.

"The windows."

"It's alright. I just can't believe you tried to lock us out." There were three of them. They were in all black, including their face masks. The biggest on grabbed Kari's arm and pulled her to him. He looked at Tk.

"You the guy who called?"

"Uh…"

"Yep, that's him. Mr. Indecision."

"This your girlfriend?" Tk swallowed. Then he clenched his jaw.

"Get your hands off her."

"Yep, it is." He spun Kari around and slapped her across the face. She would have fallen, had his grip on her arm not been so tight.

"You're gonna pay for that." A gleam in the eye of the attacker.

"Am I gonna pay for this?" He pulled out a gun, then placed it on the side of Kari's head.

"Tk!"

"Now where are the others?"

"What?" He looked up.

"Everyone in this house better get down here quick or this babe's dead." The bathroom door opened and Matt and Mimi walked out slowly. Tai and Sora emerged from an upstairs bedroom. "This it?"

"Yes."

"You swear on your girlfriend's life?"

"Yes." Tears once again streaked down Kari's face. One of the other two guys leaned down to Kari.

"What's a-matter? You scared?"

"No."

"Well then… you should be."

"You don't scare us."

"That's why your crying?"

"She doesn't know what she's saying. Yes you do scare us." Matt backed away as one of the flunkeys raised an arm.

"Matt… don't fall for the tough guy act. There's nothing to be scared of…"

"Oh really? Then you can die first." The big guy pushed Kari to the floor.

"No! Don't touch her you chimpanzee!" All eyes were on Tk.

"Chimpanzee? Man Teeks, that was weak."

"You think I'm thinking straight?"

"Point." The man leaned over Kari.

"A kiss will be payment for forgetfulness babe."

"Ugh. No. Kill me." Tai wanted to slap his sister. A tear slipped from Mimi's eye.

"Don't hurt her! Please don't hurt her! She's a good person…"

"Buddy we swear, your secret is safe with us… just leave my sister alone."

"Someone has to die."

"Not Kari. You can't kill my baby sister. Just…" Tai fell down in tears. "You can't!" Once again, the big guy spoke."

"But dude, we walked over here and wasted our own time. So someone has to die."
