Whew. Haven't updated in a while! This is the edited chapter, I skipped a whole section by accident before. Anyways, review and enjoy!!

Disclaimer: Oh what I'd give to own Takeru ;)

"Dinner time!" Matt grinned as his little brother came slumping into the kitchen.

Takeru took one glance at the food. "I don't want dinner."

Matt handed him a bowl. "Too bad, you're eating it."

Takeru made a face. "You're just like grandma," he complained.

Matt threw the curtains open so they had a view of the night sky before he pulled out a chair for himself at the table and sat down. "Well when dad's not here someone's gotta be." Matt looked up, grabbing TK's cheek between two of his fingers. "You're such a meshuganah!" he exclaimed, sounding just like their grandmother.

Takeru slapped his hand away, putting his own cool hand to his flaming cheek. "Ow!"

Matt laughed. "Geez, someone's in a bad mood. Maybe we should invite your girlfriend over for dinner."

Takeru glared at him. "Like you haven't tortured me enough for one day."

Matt put on an innocent face. "Are you saying you don't want to see her?!"

Takeru put a self conscious hand up to his hair. "Not like this!"

"You really, really don't want to see her?"

"I'm not ready!"

"Like, you positively positively do not --"

"NO!"

Ding dong.

Takeru's expression blanked. Not taking his eyes off his brother, he said with a voice barely above a whisper, "You didn't..."

Matt rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "Heh..."

Ding dong ding dong!

TK took a calming breath. "I'm the nice one in this family. I'm the nice one in this family."

"You keep telling yourself that," Matt said offhandedly as he stood up to open the door.

"I'm the -- murder is bad. Murder is bad."

"Murder is bad," his brother replied from the doorway, twisting the knob. "Tai, Hikari!"

Tai hugged his best friend lightly as Kari gave Matt a quick kiss on the cheek before moving into the kitchen with TK. "Hey you two!" Kari said happily, holding up a plate wrapped in tin foil. "We brought dessert!"

"Hey Kari," TK said weakly, trying to sound bright as he took the cookies from her. "Thanks!"

Matt shut the door with a slam. "Tai, Kari, you'll never guess what TK found online!" TK groaned internally as the Yagami siblings turned to him curiously.

"It's nothing, really --"

"Fanfiction!"

TK's nerves couldn't take much more of this. Murder is bad. But it sounds so good...

"And apparently it's about you and TK, Hikari!"

'So good, so good -- I gotta you babe!' That's a great idea, TK, just keep thinking songs. Songs are calming. 'Psycho killer!! Killing spree --' That's a horrible idea, TK, stop thinking songs. Songs are awful. AWFUL.

TK's eyes followed Kari as she pulled a chair out for herself, perching on the edge of it whereas Tai slumped down in his own. "Oh? What happens?" she asked curiously.

"Matt makes TK angry and TK kills Matt in a violent and vicious Law & Order SVU-like manner. With the help of Hikari, together they dispose of the body in the Hudson river where it floats into the horizon never to be seen again." If only.

The room was quiet for a golden moment. "That was...eerily specific," said Matt, breaking the silence abruptly.

Tai looked up from his seat. "Not really. He didn't mention the murder weapon, or what he actually did to you, or if he put you in a garbage bag or a potato sack or cremated you and disposed of your ashes --"

"I think I'd wanna be cremated, at least then I wouldn't smell like potatoes," Matt interrupted.

"Yeah but if you were cremated it'd be like a million times harder for them to convict TK," Kari pointed out.

"And you, why would you point that out?" Tai said. "Not that we're planning -- ahem, they're planning to murder you," he added when Matt glanced at him, pulling the bowl of food slowly away from the brunette. "Not that I would know -- I mean, not that I would let them do it if I did know," he changed quickly as the food got farther away. "Don't take my food!"

Matt smirked. "But we digress. That wasn't what the story really was about, was it TK?"

"Why don't you just show us for yourself, instead of having to explain it?" Kari suggested. "It's a little early for dinner anyways."

And so TK found himself leading Hikari to his room. Like he had a choice.

Worst. Day. EVER.

Review!! Yaay!!
