A New Threat:
Part 2: Taito
Disclaimer: Ok, here’s part two. This won't have much action, it's more of well a taito, as the title says, Part three will be more adventurous. Hope you like it! (I still would like some feedback though, if you have any Ideas, send them to me,[email protected]!!

" My name is Yamato Ishida, Matt for short." finished the blonde boy, taking Sakura's hand.

Li was pacing back and forth behind them, he was trying to think, but the sense of wrongness in the young mans arrival kept interrupting his thoughts. He turned and looked at Matt. "You say you've been to other world before? How?"

Matt considered before answering. " Well, I guess I'll start at the beginning. First of all, There are many worlds, I only knew of my own at the time, but I was about to witness as crossing between mine and another, The digital world. A world full of monsters, Digimon. It was about twelve years ago when my friends and I saw our fist digimon, but little did we know it would change our lives forever..." He told them about Greymon fighting Parrotmon In Highton view terrace, he and his six friends being transported to the digiworld from Summer camp 4 years later. The battles, coming home to find Kari, having to go back to the digiworld after defeating Myotismon, the Dark Masters, Then the final battle. The new digidestined getting into the picture, Ken, Arukenimon, Darkwargreymon. then the final battle there.

When he was finished, Meilin asked " Whats a digivice?"

Matt took his out to show them, but something else fell out of his pocket. His pocket computer terminal. "Wait a minute!! I could e-mail my friends to tell them I'm alright!!!" I hope this works, he thought. the cardcaptors and their friends watched as he wrote an e-mail. They groaned as the screen flashed 'Unable to deliver'.

Madison, who was good with digital stuff, thought for a moment, then said "Maybe if you connect your digivice to your computer it can get the e-mail through, after all you said all of your digivices were connected right? and they can get you to other worlds? Just tell your friends when answering to do the same."

Matt stared at her, Hope in his eyes "That just might work!" He connected his digivice to the computer, then re-sent the e-mail after adding " I'm in another world so you have to connect your Digivices to your terminals to get e-mail through. They all held their breath, hoping it would get through.....

* * *

T.K. Kari and Ken were sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. Izzy was on the phone calling the other digidestined, and davis was getting some coffee. They'd been in the hospital all night waiting for news. The last they'd heard Tai was getting his stomach pumped. but that was hours ago. Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya were on their way, but their train had been delayed. Mr. Ishida was at the police office waiting for news of his son.

T.K. wished he could tell his father that there wouldn't be any news, but he couldn't, It would be too hard.

Soon davis and Izzy came back, they sat there silently for a few moments then Davis asked the question on everyones minds " Why did Tai do it?" he looked at Kari, after all she was Tai's sister.

She was about to answer, when the answer came from someone unexpected. " Matt dissapeered" Ken said simply.

T.K. was confused, "But they were just friends right? I mean your acting as if..."

"They were in love. " Kari said. "They've been together for years, they didn't tell you because they were afraid you'd hate them for being gay."

T.K. was shocked "But why didn't Matt tell me? I'm his brother, I couldn't hate him..." he trailed of then glared at Kari angrily. "Oh so they could tell you, but not me is that it? Kari can be trusted she's the sensitive one, right?" he whirled on Ken "and how do you know, hmmm, did they tell you? he could tell Mr. Crest of Kindness, but he couldn't tell his own brother?!"

He started to storm off, but was stopped by Davis's "T.K." He turned around

"What, did you know too? Some friend you are!!" Davis looked at him for a second then socked him. T.K. fell to the floor. He sat up and shook his head ' Owch, that hurt, what did he do that for? he thought, but then he realized he had been overreacting. His vision cleared and he saw a hand in front of his faced, he took it and as Davis helped him up he said "Thank you, I needed that."

Davis gave him a cocky grin" No problem, sometimes you just need to have some sense knocked into you, just letting you know, I'm there to do it"

T.K. grinned at him then went over to Kari and Ken " Sorry for being such a jerk. I just overreacted I guess."

Kari gave him a hug "I'ts ok. your brother just disappeared, that gives you an excuse for being a jerk. Unlike Davis who has no excuse whatsoever" she finished loudly enough for the brunette to hear "Hey!!!" he yelled. Everyone laughed. "and in answer to your question before, no they didn't tell me. I was there when they confessed their love. I thought it was a joke then, but when Matt got back from his world tour, I walked in on them when they were, ummmmm. " she turned beet red and looked at the floor "celebrating his return"

T. K. looked confused for a moment then it was his turn to blush, he just couldn't imagine his brother doing anything like that.

Kari turned to Ken " How did you find out?"

He looked at her " I didn't 'find out' as you put it. " He thought for a moment. " I just...could tell, I mean, you could tell they loved each other, It was in the way they looked at each other, You can tell when you know what to look for. " ' uh oh', Ken thought, 'I hope they didn't notice that.'

" How did you know what to look for?" T.K. asked. Ken sweat dropped. "ummmmmmm"

Then, the door opened and a doctor came out "Are you all for Taichi Kamiya?".

Everybody forgot about Ken. Kari got to the doctor first "Is my brother going to be alright?" she asked.

The doctor looked at her. " Most of the drugs are out of his body as for as we can tell, he should be fine, but he refuses to wake up. Do any of you know why he tried to commit suicide? Maybe we could help him more if we knew the reason. "

Uhoh, they all thought, should we tell him? what if he's homophobic?

Ken walked up to the doc, giving them a look that said, let me handle this. He took the doctors shoulder. "Tai just lost his best friend. They've been together since they were children and They are as close as brothers. Tai just couldn't imagine life without him."

The doctor looked at him then nodded " I understand, I lost a brother when I was his age. I was so depressed I was put in the psych ward for a while. How did his friend die?"

He didn't die," Ken answered not as far as we know anyway. He's one of the ones who disappeared this week up at the college."

The doctor looked sympathetic" Oh, that’s strange. If we could figure out what happened to those kids we could help your friend. My daughter Emily disappeared this week too."The doc started to cry"Her boyfriend is in hysterics right now" the doctor ran off muttering "I must be strong, I must be strong"

Davis came up on one side of Ken and slapped him on the back "Smooth, dude you lie almost as well as I do!"

T.K came up on the other side " Yeah, how did you think up such a great cover story?"

Ken looked scared, then they heard a gasp from the corner. Kari had her D-terminal out. "T.K.! What's Matt's E-mail Address?"

"[email protected]...Why"

"OH MY GOD!!! check your e-mail! It's MATT!!!"

* * *

The Icon 'Your mail has been delivered' flashed across the screen. "Alright!!! Thank you Madison!!! " said Matt.

"I'm glad it worked. maybe now you can go home!"

Suddenly 'You've got mail" was flashing frantically across the screen. E-mails from: LightningKitty, ComputerBug, LightningFlame, FlyingHope, and DarkKindness. "It's my friends" Matt exclaimed. he started to read, them froze.

Matt-

Where the HELL are you!?! Tai tried to KILL himself because you disappeared.!! He's in the hospital and won't wake up. Please try to get home soon, he needs you...He might...die.

-Kari

Matt dropped the terminal and sat down hard, white as a sheet. Sakura ran over to him shouting "what's wrong!!"

"Tai...he's dying. I have to get back!" with those words Matt surged up from the chair and started for the door.

Li stopped him. "You don't know how to get back, you'll just get in trouble.

But Matt was either too stubborn or too hysterical to listen. He tried to get through, fighting desperately, even though he knew it would do no good. "You don't understand, If I don't get back, he'll die!!" he kept shouting.

Li, still blocking the door, mouthed "sleep" to Sakura.

She nodded and pulled out her necklace. (A/N since most people know the English version of this "Oh Key of clow... "Instead of "Key that hides the powers of the dark" I'm using it) "Oh Key of Clow, power of Magic, Power of Light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, Release!!" (cardcaptors show) The key changed to the sealing wand, Sakura grabbed it and pulled out a card "Sleep card, put Yamato to sleep, Release and Dispel!!!!!!" The sleep card put Matt to sleep.

Li picked him up and put him on the couch.

"This Tai person must be really important to him, I personally think he's overreacting" said Meilin

"Yeah...whats this?" Sakura picked up a piece of paper that had fallen out of Matts pocket. A photo slid out. It was a picture of two boys kissing. She blushed, dropped it and picked it up again, intrigued. The blonde was obviously a younger Matt. The other was a brunette with a wild, big hairstyle. He was making an 'Alright' sign toward the camera (A/N kinda like when Ash catches something on Pokemon) Sakura put the photo down and unfolded the piece of paper:
July 6, 2002
Dear, Matt

How's LA? I heard your band was a big hit in the states. I had Kari copy the picture she took when you were leaving on tour. Our first kiss, I still remember the feel of your lips on mine. I never expected that kind of reaction when I confessed my feelings to you. I think of you every day wishing you were here.

-Forever yours
LOVE: Tai
ps: I hope I haven't repulsed you by behaving like a lovesick puppy.
pps: I love you, Yama Behind the letter was a copy of the American song from the play "Rent", "Without You" it was translated from English. Written on the top in shaky letters was: This song shows how I feel, be careful

-Tai.

One verse was circled: "The mind churns, The heart yearns The tears dry Without you Life goes on But I'm gone Cause I die Without you" Sakura carefully refolded letter, song and picture. " I'm not so sure he was overreacting" she said to her friends worriedly. She looked at Li " What do you think? Do we have a card for this?"

Li looked thoughtful " well, If we're desperate we could always try the Switch card. That’s the only one that has a remote chance of getting him home in one piece. but someone else will have to switch with him." he thought for a moment" It would be safer if that person was related to him too. If it's a blood relative they have a tie so they wouldn't get lost in limbo."

Sakura thought then said decisively "lets see if he has a brother or sister to switch with." she picked up Matt's Terminal and began to type.

* * *

T.K. was sitting waiting for an answer from his brother. suddenly he heard "You've got mail" He grabbed his terminal and read:

My name is Sakura Avalon. Me and my friends are the first people to meet your brother in our world. We have heard of his dying boyfriend and think we have a way to get him home in time. Unfortunately, the only way we can do this is by switching him with a close relative. If any of you is his brother or sister, please tell us if you would be willing to do this?"

T.K started to type

* * *

Sakura had just waken Matt up and was telling him the plan when Li ran over holding the terminal. "His brother says he'll switch, I told him about the danger but he doesn't care."

Matt sat up, "That's T .K . for yah."

Sakura looked at him "You don't care about the danger to your brother" "Of course I do, But There's no way you can talk him out of it now, he's almost a s stubborn as me"

Li looked at him "ok, then stand up and hold your digivice up, I'll tell him to do the same..."

* * *

Kari and Davis were trying to dissuade T.K from doing this. "That Li kid told you it was dangerous!!!" Kari was yelling "I don't want to lose you too!!"

T.k looked at her angrily " You haven't lost your brother yet, I'm going!"

Ken grabbed TK and pushed him into a room. "I'll hold them off, go just be careful. " Ken said. and to both his own surprise and TK's he leaned forward and kissed the blonde on the lips. ken blushed and ran out to hold the others at bay.

TK stood there for a few seconds, staring out after the black haired angel that had just left him more confused than he'd ever been in his life, the shaking off the paralysis. he held up his d-3. bracing himself for whatever would come next...

* * *

" Switch card, Switch Yamato with his brother, Release!!!!!!" shouted Sakura, and Matt blacked out.
