So new chapter. hope you enjoy it...!"

Hiroaki quickly droved his car to his to his ex wife apartment, if he run through the stairs, he may be lucky enough to get there before the night news flash. He run, nearly punched an old lady, who swear at him in every possible way. But he did it. He got there, and rang the bell.

Natsuko was about to fall asleep, she had the news channel on, waiting to hear the night news flash when the bell rang. She looked at the clock. Midnight, couldn't be good. She quickly grab her white bath robe, and go to the door.

Natsuko nearly jumped in surprise as she saw her ex-husband in the door. He looked as if in the last months she hasn't seen him, he had aged 20 years.

"Hiroaki… What's wrong?"

"Can I… can I come in, you need to be seated for this one" he said as he grabbed her arm and lead her to the dinning table

"What's happening? What are you doing here?" she said as she sat in the chair "Is it something about Matt?" When he remained silence she continue "It is! Right? I knew it! Oh my god! What happend to my baby?"

"Natsuko... I... it's not easy to explain, I'am gonna tell you the same I told the police officer..."

Matt wasm't uncouncious any more, he just laid in the ground, trying to get some asleep, he was so tired. He yawned his bed, his father, his friends, but most of all he yawned for seeing the light of the day. He haven't told anyone but he loved seeing the sky, the clouds, their shapes, their colours, he yawned for them. He wandered how Tai was. If he had gotten to escape, if he was alright, mentally and physically… It was his entire fault, if he wasn't for him, Tai wouldn't even have been in danger. He was probably scared as hell and worried, after that call Matt have done, Tai would've been worried. And his dad, he should be devastated, and then again, it was his entire fault. If he have stayed just as his father have told him too, he wouldn't be here now. Probably he would be in his house drinking coffee, finishing his homework. He just prayed…. Two more days… two more, and then I will all be over… He just hoped, he will manage to survive all that time.

He felt so empty inside, so dead, so dirty too.

No one will want me no more. I'm dirty, a scum, I've no right to go back to my family. To dishonour them… To make them feel so ashamed. I've ruined it all. Everything. I'm sorry; I'm sorry dad for not listening. I'm sorry TK for not being able to be with you when you need me the most. I'm sorry Tai for letting you get involve in this matter. I'm sorry Sora, for not arranging Tai's birthday party. I'm sorry Mimi for not being able to be the one who will ask you for your first autograph in you first modelling show. I'm sorry Jyou for not helping you when you needed moral support. I'm sorry Izzy for not helping you study for your exams… And I'm sorry mum, for being so angry at you, so jealous of the way you manage to escape form your horrible life and being able to relief it. I'm sorry for being such a nuisance with everyone, to pretend I didn't care, when all I did was thinking about it. I'm sorry Gabumon, for not living up to the standards of the carrier of the crest of Friendship. I'm sorry I didn't achieve the standards in anything. I'm sorry I wasn't a good son, neither a good friend nor brother. I'm sorry everything will end up here, but at the same time I'm relieve, as there won't be a way in which I'll be able to disappoint anyone anymore… Not anymore… 'Cause Yamato's life ends up here. But if I'm dying here, I'm gonna go down fighting danmit!

After Hiroaki had finished his tale Natsuko didn't utter a word. There weren't word that would describe her feelings…

"Mummy, are you ok?" a tiny voice speak to her. She hasn't noticed but her ten year old son, had come to her side and was hugging her arm.

"TK…" She sobbed "How long have you been here?" She asked scared

"Not long enough to know why are you crying" She replied

Hiroaki couldn't controlled it but the release all the air he was holding without noticing.

"Daddy, where is Matt?" TK asked, as his heart ached when he saw the sorrowful look in this father's eyes "Daddy?"

"TK, your brother was taken by some bad guys" Natsuko answered

"Bad guys? What do they want with my brother?" The innocent boy asked, as tears started to form in his big blue eyes.

"Yeah some bad guys took him, because they want some money. I… we'll get the money, don't worry" Hiroaki said, but couldn't help but to crack his voice

"Don't worry Daddy, Mummy, Matt is stronger than we think, he'll defeat those bad guys and come home in a blink of an eye " He said with a grin and hope in his eyes, as he reached something from his pocket "Here, this is some money I was saving for some candy, I guess Matt needs it more now." He said, and place some coins in his father hand "Night night" He said as he walked off to his bedroom

"Night night TK" Hiroaki said, as he watched the coins his son has put in his hand, there worth very little, but to Hiroaki they meant everything right now.

Friday, most of the times, Tai would have loved this day, but not, not this Friday. Izzy have been right last night, if he didn't go to school that day, everyone would know that he was the friend that was being hidden by the police witness protection. Nevertheless, if he did go to school no one will suspect a thing. So he needed to go, as much as he didn't wanted to, he needed to go. He walked down the path he always walked… always walked with Matt… but he wasn't there, not anymore. He stop at the intersection, and waited for Izzy and Sora.

Kari looked at his brother. She could easily sense the sadness and worry in his young chocolate coloured eyes. With dry tears in his eyes, he wandered the corner they were standing in. The silence was unbearable as his eyes scanned the place. And then he saw it. The place in the street where he and Matt had marked their names in the wet cement sidewalk, years ago. Matt had nearly fallen and his hoes had also been marked for eternity… And, when he thought he couldn't control the tears any longer, he realise he had dried out, and there no more tears to cry…

Sora was walking along Izzy, both of them in silence. They just walked, and as the walked, they think on the moments each one of them had spent with Matt. Sora remember how Matt would always show up in hers and Tai's soccer games and cheer them up whenever the loose. Izzy remember how Matt'll help him to study for his exams, even thought he didn't even knew what they where talking about…

As soon as they get to the intersection Sora could sense the pain in Tai, she wanted to hug him and tell him everything will be ok. But she couldn't. Tai looked as if he was in another galaxy; he looked so lost, so miserable…

They walked and walked, following the pat they always follow. The trip seemed to be so awfully peaceful. No one utter a word. No one gasp for air. No one make a sound…

The school corridors where silent. Everyone talked in whispers, everyone talked about Matt.

Open locker, code: 1547. Open. Take things. Monday morning: Maths and Literature. Hate Mondays. Take books. Take pencil case. Look for calculator. Found it. Close locker. Wait I forgot my Maths copy book. Open locker again. Code: 1547. Open look for Maths copy book. Not found. Keep looking. Nit found. Look again. Found it. Close locker. Walk to class. Ignore people's whispers. Keep walking. Open the door. Walk to my desk. Sit down. Opne text book. Look at whatever, there is in the selected page. Understand? Not a word, or should I say number? Sora sit at my left. No one at my right. The place remains empty, as it should be. No onw will sit there. Not on my watch…

"Tai, are you ok?" Sora asked

Yeah Sor, my best friend just got kidnapped, and it's all my fault, yeah totally fine…

"Fine" Tai answered coldly

"You don't look fine. Listen Tai, it wasn't you fault, and you need to understand that"

How could she? It's my fault, she needs to know that. She need to accept, just as I have. And no, I don't understand her pint of view ans she needs to know.

"I understand you point of view" Way to go Tai, she totally understood. FAILURE

"Don't be like that Tai, I know you aren't telling me the truth…." She said, looking at her eyes "You are hurting, and I know that. For crying out loud, everyone knows that! Even the people who doesn't know about what happened, they just know you are hurting, and I… I just wanna help you, you know. To be there for you." She said sadly

"Sor…. I…"

She chuckled and continue "I… you shut yourself. Matt does that too. He shuts himself, and doesn't let anyone come near or help him. And you're turning just like him. I don't know why… but Tai I'm your best friend. Yours and Matt's and somehow, you too manage to let me out of anything that my hurt me. You're to overprotective, and you know it. You had have this discussion with Matt. And I… I just want to help you... I just want to see you smile again." She said

"How can you expect me to smile, when my best friend is kidnapped" He said after a minute, and then he left

"Tai" Sora whispered and quickly follow him to the exit

She doesn't understand, she doesn't get it, she would never….

"Tai wait!" He heard Sora yelled at him, he run

Sora started running as Tai did, she wasn't going to leave him alone, not today, not now, so she tackled him.

The fall Sora was on top of Tai, both of them crying. Tai manage to move and look at Sora in the eyes. He then realised she was hurting too. He saw the melancholy in her eyes, and he cry. They sat, and she hugged him, as he cry in her shoulders.

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't told him to split apart; I should have seen the fear in his eyes. The way he looked at mine…" he cry

"Shh… It's gonna be fine, It's gonna be ok, you'll see. He's gonna make it" She said

"I… Sora, he… I… I don't know if he know how mucho worried I am, I don't want it to sound awkward, but I… I love him in a brotherly way… I don't think, he knows that… And if he… if he…"

"I'm sure he knows that, and don't even go there, nothing is gonna happen to him ok, he's strong, more strong that any of us, you should know that

"I… I just want him to know…." He sobbed

"He does"

After a minute or two, of silence, Sora realised they were in the middle of the soccer field. And that at any minute people would start walking into there, and will at some pint notice them. But the worried thoughts where quickly erased by Tai…

"Sora…."

"Yes Tai? I'm here…" She said as she pass her hands onto his hair

"I… I love you Sora…" He said

"I love you too Tai…" She said as the people started walking onto the soccer field…
