Chapter three: Healing

Once Tai and Kari got out of the hospital there were very important matters to take care of. "Tai, Kari, We'll make sure your mom pays dearly for this." said Matt.

"But...It might take a few days of living with her on your part. We can't just march up to the station and report this. Your mom has to go to court, as do we. It's a very long process... Can you handle it?" asked T.k. . Tai and Kari looked at eachother then nodded.

"Tai...Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you.." Matt whispered to Tai.

"Well...We'd better get home. We're in for it for being gone." Tai said grimly. Kari looked the same way. Nonetheless the sibleens smiled at the two boys and waved goodbye. As those two were walking away Matt and T.k. wondered how they could stay so happy and positive. 'When we went to the digiworld I never thought anything of Tai...He always seemed so happy! I never realized how he was suffreing, and with wounds like that nonetheless! He's a really strong person with a very good heart.' thought Matt as they were walking home.

The next day Matt and T.k. rushed to school to check on their friends. Tai and Kari were sitting under an oak tree, deep in conversation.

"Tai! Kari!" Matt and T.k called, running over to them.

"Are you guys alright?" Matt quesioned, out of breath.

"We're fine. Mom wasn't home last night." replied Kari

Matt glanced over at Tai. He seemed lost in thought. "Tai?" he questioned. Tai immediately snapped out of his reverie at the sound of Matt's voice.

"Sorry about that." said Tai, smiling that goofy smile he always does. The bell rang and the foursome walked of to class. At the end of school they were to meet at the police station to get things settled. They showed the police the evidence and they said the'd look into it.

"Tai, Kari, I think it's best if you guys stay with us for the time being." T.k. suggested.

"Good idea! I agree." Matt said.

"I don't want to be any trouble!" said Kair and Tai together. The other two sweatdropped.

"If it was trouble than we wouldn't invite you." Matt commented. "Altough you can be a pain in the neck." he continued, teasing Tai.

"Me? a pain in the neck? never!" said Tai, innocently.

Everyone laughed and made their way to Matt and T.k's humble home. "Make yourself at home. Our parent's won't be back until 10:00 p.m. tomarrow." said T.k.

'Make ourselves at home you say? Muhahaha!' thought Tai. He dragged his very willing boyfriend into the bedroom.
