Chapter 5

Matt disappeared that morning. TK and Kevin were scared. "We have to go look for him," TK begged. "He's not dead yet. We can split up into search parties. Pairs. That way someone's there to cover our backs. And everyone's covered. So none of us can be the murderers."

"I want to be with Tai," Kevin declared, surprising everyone, TK most of all.

"Two reasons," Kevin explained. "One, Tai's the biggest one here, and probably the strongest. Two, Tai's the only one without a boyfriend or girlfriend."

"I don't!" TK and Kari chorused.

Kevin sniggered. "Yeah, right."

"Wait, I don't, either," Davis cried. He turned sharply to Sora, who looked a little hurt. His eyes widened considerably. "Unless... I mean... well... willyoubemygirlfriend?" She smiled and nodded cheerfully.

Kevin cast another glare at TK and Kari, who weren't looking at him, or each other. "So do you want to be my partner, Tai?"

Tai grinned. "Sure. We can do some catching up along the way. I'm sure Matt's not far. Probably went for some food or something. Let's go."

TK walked very closely to Kari. His little brother's words echoed in his head. 'I should be looking for Matt, not thinking about making out with my best friend,' he told himself.

Kari couldn't concentrate, either. Her thoughts kept traveling to TK. Finally, she knew she needed to do something so she could get her focus back again. "TK," she muttered. He turned to her. Seizing the moment, she pressed her lips firmly against his. He shivered with passion, and only broke off for air.

"What was that?" he wondered.

"A kiss," Kari stated. TK gave her a "duh" look. "I just... needed to see your reaction."

"You're thinking about what Kevin said too?" She nodded. "Wanna, um, prove him right?"

Kari beamed at him. "O... okay." Then a scream pierced the quiet air and they went running after it.

Kevin met them halfway. He was sobbing, shuddering, whimpering. He refused to speak. Kari held him and TK rubbed his back. "What's wrong, Kevin?" the boy whispered soothingly, but his brother wouldn't speak.

Sora and Davis met up with them, gasping from the run. "What's wrong?" Sora demanded, fully alarmed. Davis looked at the wailing boy sympathetically.

"Where's Tai?" the brunette added, casting a look around.

Kari paled noticably. TK bit his lip. Sora's eyes widened. Davis frowned. And Kevin sobbed.

Three hours later, Sora finally managed to pry a few words out of Kevin. She immediately regretted it. The words made Kevin cry again. All he'd said was, "Tai was killed."

* * * * * * * *

Kari wouldn't talk to anyone. Her brother, her only brother. He was gone, forever. Who could have done it? Well, she knew that much. The question was, who was next?

Matt still hadn't been found. TK didn't know which brother he was more worried about: the missing one, or the temporarily insane one. So wrapped up in his thoughts was he that he didn't notice Kari leave the cabin. For, if he had, she would never have gotten away with it.

Kari found Matt. And, before she ran away, she saw a stab mark in his back, blood pouring from the slash.

She told the others. 'Kevin is insane,' TK thought. 'Matt's dead. I'm the only brother left. Hell, I'm one of two boys left, excluding Kevin."

TK, Kari, Kevin, Davis, and Sora were the only one's left. And, mind you, one of them was the murderer. They'd all seen a dead body, all felt the reality shock. So who had done it?

*END*

A/N - There will be another chapter.

TogetherAgain - Thanks for reviewing! *big hug*

Phire Phoenix - SQUALL! Hehe, keep reading, you've got the right idea... sort of. But maybe Kevin's innocent because he's a ten-year-old who grew up with no family to explain stuff to him.

!@#*cRAZY_kAZU_fAN*#@! - You're on the right track. Keep thinking... and reading.

Blackout12 - Rating me, eh? Great ratings, though. Thanks!

ArchangelUK - Actually, Kevin philosophizes too much 'cause I can't write about little kids thoughts. But good call with Cody. And it wouldn't be Nancy Takaishi because she remarried Ishida (what's his first name?) so now she's Nancy Ishida.

Thanks to everyone who reviews.
