Chapter Three- Just When He'll Strike, Nobody Knows

An hour later then we had planned, we arrived at my house. We sat down in my living room and sipped hot chocolate. We sat there in utter silence until Tai spoke up. "Sora?" He said.

"Yeah?" I acknowledged him.

"It's really bothering me that we don't know when he'll strike!" Tai told me.

"I know, but when he does, we'll be ready!" I reassured him.

"Thanks. I know whenever I'm having trouble, I can come to you, Sora. You're a great friend!" He gave wrapped me into a hug. He blushed a fuchsia pink.

"Your welcome." I told him. "You're a great friend too." I noticed that I also, had started to turn pink.

Ding Dong! The doorbell rang. I pulled away from Tai and got up to open the door. "Hey Sor!" It was Matt. "Just making sure nothing's gone wrong yet."

"Not yet!" I told him. Then Matt spotted Tai on the couch.

"Did I interrupt anything?" Matt asked curiously, pointing to Tai, and then pointing at me.

"We were just talking." Tai told Matt with slight anger in his voice. Matt walked over to the couch and took a seat next to me. Then an uncontrollable feeling came over me as I leaned over and planted a kiss on Matt's mouth.

"What was that for?" Matt asked with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Yeah, Sora!" Tai said coldly. "What was that for?"

"I uh…" I stammered. "I don't know, it's like I was being controlled." I said with a shake in my voice.

"Yeah right!" Tai yelled. "I knew you liked him. He was getting irate now.

"Tai!" I was practically shouting now too. "Listen to me! I didn't mean too!"

"How could you not mean too?" Tai asked. "I thought you were my friend! I'm outta here!" He grabbed his jacket and went out the door, slamming it behind him.

"Matt? You believe me, right?" I asked him.

"Sora, how could you not mean to kiss me?" He asked.

"I couldn't help it. Something came over me, I-" I cut myself off right there. "Darkhatredmon! Matt, he's trying to turn us against each other, he already turned Tai against me, please don't fall into the trance yourself!"

"Sora, you don't have proof that Darkhatredmon's behind this!" He told me. "I don't know what to believe!" He too left.

Oh, no. He did it! Darkhatredmon had stroked and had already turned my two best friends against me. I think it was time for a phone call to the computer genius.
