Okay, so this story has a violent back story, and there's lots of sad mopey stuff, centering Matty, of course. The first chapter will be small inserts of T.K, an officer, Tai's point of view, the rest of it in Tai and Matt's. Not sure if there's going to be a realtionship or not. T.K and Kari are too young to have one. In the begining T.K is 6, and Matt is 14. Same for Kari & Tai. At some point, I will add the TWO YEARS LATER sign, and the little ones will be 8, the older 16.

I keep telling myself I'm not going to post anything else until the ones I'm working on are done. I just can't help myself Dx Please review if you want more! Hope you enjoy!

Officer Kai

The little blonde shivers and shakes in my arms, and occasionally a sob escapes him. He's probably five, maybe six at the most. His mostly naked body is covered in bruises and scabs, and the one large red cut, that has been addressed, and is apperently not enough to worry about, that started the entire night.

"Shh, it's okay." I try once again, to soothe the young boy. He just sobs louder.

"I want my brother!" He gasps. We still haven't figured out how all the kids got here, or even who they are. Most can't remember their names. Most of them aren't as bruised and bloody as the blonde siblings. There had been nine kids, total, and one teenager. All of the younger kids were begging for Matt, which I can only assume is teenager. Who is still inside. The ones who can remember who they are or where they came from are sitting together, as the other officers try to find parents, and families. Child services has come, and is taking the kids with no where to go to foster homes. As the oldest child comes out of the house, I notice his hands are cuffed behind his back. Dread hits me and my heart jumps into my throat. And then I am hit in the throat, and on instinct the boy drops from my arms. He flies to his brother, along with four other kids. The little blonde clings to his brothers legs.

"You can't go. I need you!" The little boy sobs. The older boy bends his knees to crouch. I move forward so I can hear him. He's whispering, although I don't think he could talk louder if he tried. He's scared.

"It's okay, you have to be strong. I promise I'm not going to leave you. I'll come back, okay?" The older boys blue eyes shoot up towards me, and I can see the threat in them. They tell me I'd better make sure his brother is safe. The younger boy clings to his neck. The older boy kisses his shoulder, then stands, and I watch as he's put into the back of a car. The younger boy must have seen his brother look at me, because he comes back to stand next to me.

"How long is he gonna be gone for?"

"I don't know. Lets just worry about you, for now, or I think your brother might get me, too." This makes the little boy laugh. It's a hollow, dead sound, but it is a laugh. He looks up at me, tears still streaming from his face.

"I think you're right." I take the little boys hand, and lead him over to the other kids, and get him a blanket.

"So, in order for me to help you, I have to ask you some question." The little boy nods his head.

"What's your name?"

"Takeru." He says without thinking about it.

"And your brothers name?"

"Yamato." Another no thinker, this is good, I hope.

"What about your last name? Or your parents?"

"Uhm..Ishida..and I don't know. We don't have any. We go where ever Matt says to go. But I think someone else tells him where he's supposed to be going, cause he'd never take me to a place like this." I nod my head. Mostly now trying to keep the little boy from realising his brother's car is leaving.

"Thank you, Takeru."

"Everyone just calls me T.K."

"Okay, T.K. I'm going to go talk to that lady over there." I point, and the boy looks and nods.

"So if you need me, come and get me, alright?" The boy nods his head, but now his eyes are on the car his brother is in, and the tears start flowing again. I don't know how to fix the little boys pain, so I go to talk to the officer that had orginally found the kids.

"So, what's happening with Yamato?" I ask. Weird looks.

"That's the boy in the car they just took."

"He did it." I knew it. When we had first arrived, the first thing that had been seen was the body. Covered in blood, in the hallway. Up the steps, different peices of bloody clothes. Then, locked in the room, the boy, shaking and scared, crying, with the other kids around him.

"How do you know?"

"He admitted it. Said that their 'father' attacked T.K, and he got mad, so he got him back."

"Don't worry, Kai. He can claim self defence. Lookit the marks on these kids. Did you see the bruises and that boy himself? I've never seen anything like it. The fact that he's still alive at all.." I don't know what to say. I hope the siblings will be reunitied.

T.K. a few months later (Still 6)

I stare at my hands, not wanting to look up. I don't want to get out of the car, and I don't want to meet these people. They are not my brother, and I don't want them. Apperently, they are my foster family. They will be taking care of me. It makes me think of the time Yamato was taken away from me. It wasn't that long ago, but it feels like forever. I just want to be with my brother. He's never lied to me before, so I know he's going to come back. I just don't want to wait.

"Takeru, please." I still refuse to budge, to the begging of the lady who drove me here. I'm sure I should know her name, but I don't. Then, a new voice joins in, and it makes me look up.

"T.K, I know you're scared, but I promise this is different. They have a little girl the same age as you." Officer Kai tries. I look at him, but then look down. I don't care if she's the same age as me. I don't want to meet her.

"And she has a big brother the same age as your brother." The lady says. I hear officer Kai sigh, and I can't stop the tears. I started crying.

"T.K..." Officer Kai kneels down next to the car, and takes my hand.

"If you come meet these people, I will let you talk to your brother, before I leave, okay? I'm not supposed, and I will get in big trouble, but I will, if you can do this for us." I look at him, and hope he's not lying. So far, he hasn't. I climb out of the car, and wipe my eyes.

"I want to talk to him now." I say. Officer Kai frowns, but he pulls out his phone, and calls someone. I don't listen to what he says, but he hands me the phone. I put it to my ear, and am scared to say anything. So I don't.

"T?" Matt's voice is on the other end. He sounds tired and confused. It makes me start crying all over again.

"Don't cry, T.K. It's okay."

"You p-p-promised." I say.

"I'm going to keep my promise." He uses his big boy don't argue with me voice, and that's how I know he's telling me the truth.

"I'm scared."

"Don't be. Officer Kai's told me all about Tai and Kari. They're going to be okay. You're going to be okay."

"You're okay with them?"

"I am." His voice is strong, and that enough makes it all okay.

"You're gonna come see me soon, right?" There's a long silence on the other end.

"I'm going to try. I have to go, T.K. Everything's going to be okay."

"I love you, Yama."

"I love you, too." Then I hear the click that takes my brother away from me.

Taichi

When the knock finally comes, I am closest to the door, so I open it. Kari comes flying out from around the corner. The boys eyes are down and I can't see them. I don't know much about him, just that he had been really hurt in his last foster care. I can see a fadding bruise on his left cheek, and the start of a freshly scabbed scar that starts at between his shoulder and neck on the right side. The clothes he's wearing are too big for him, and he's extremely skinnny.

"Hi," My words are directed at the little boy, but he's the only one who doesn't even look at me. I step aside to let the three people in, only now looking at the two growns ups with the boy. One is a police officer. The other is probably a social worker. There's something about the woman I just don't like. The boy doesn't seem to like her, either, cause as they enter the house, he side steps towards the police officer.

"You can come sit with me if you want, I'm doing my homework in the other room." I tell the boy, who kind of glances at me, but doesn't anwser. I close the door, and lead the three to the living room, where my parents, and Kari are waiting.

"Thank you, Tai." My mother says.

"Yea, no problem. It's nice to meet you all, but I have to get my homework done." I say. I don't actually want to do my homework, nor will it get done, however, mom said I have to be good, so I'm going to be good. The little boys eyes are on me, and they are the bluest blue I have ever seen. They are red-rimmed and puffy though, so he'd been crying recently. I turn and head back to the table, so I can pretend to do my homework. I can hear talking, but not the words that are being said. I jump as the chair across from me moves, and the little boy slides into it.

"Hey." I say to him.

"Hello." He whispers back.

"I'm Taichi, but most people just call me Tai."

"I'm Takeru...Most people...call me...T.K." He sounds lost and confused.

"Nice to meet you, T.K." I say cheerfully. He gives me a small smile.

"You, too, Tai." He sits quietly, and watches me pretend to read for awhile.

"Can I ask you something..?"

"You just did, but yes, you may." The little boy smiles again.

"The little girl..she's Kari?"

"Yep! That's my sister. She's six."

"I'm six, too!" We fall back into silence. And then Kari joins us.

"Hello!" She says with a big smile.

"Hi, Kari." I say.

"Hi.." T.K says softly.

"I'm Kari!"

"I'm T.K."

"We're gonna be awesome friends, k?"

"Okay." the little boy says, looking at me. I can't help it, I giggle at him. He blushes.

"Not funny." He says. I don't argue with him. The blonde spends most of that night attached to my side, which is okay. I remember someone saying he has an older brother my age. I can't help but notice how shy and nervous he is around my parents though. I'd be scared, too. Although he did warm up to me and Kari pretty fast. It makes me wonder who said what about us.
