THE AWAKE OF DARKNESS

Author's note: As you know, I have a make-up character. This girl is Lilly and SHE IS MINE!! So, DO NOT copy (just a warning). The Digidestineds from Seasons 1, 2, and 3 do not know the Frontier's secrets, but they are all good friends. Mainly Kouji/Lilly and Izumi/Kouichi. My story starts off with Matt/Lilly but ... I won't tell you what will happen!!!! Please review!!!

CHAPTER ONE

There he was, standing in the middle of nowhere. It was completely dark. He could not see anything. Darkness. Then, he heard screaming. The screams sounded so desperate and ear-piecing that they sent chills down his spine. He turned around....there, his brother was struggling to get free from a tall cloaked figure. A vampire......he frozed at his spot, wide- eyed. The evil figure sneered, "I've got my perfect prey. Prepare for the end of the world!!" His brother kept on yelling out his name. He broke off into a run, towards the figure but everything was too late. Everything turned into mist. He was alone again.

The history teacher stood angrily in front of his desk, looking down on him. She raised her voice and called, "Kouji!" Kouji jolted up into a sitting position. The class laughed but soon ceased. He was pale and his face was covered with sweat. The teacher, however, ignored the fact. She asked impatiently, "Tell me. What happened in America 1642?" Kouji fell silent and murmured, "I'm sorry, miss. I.. Don't know the answer." The teacher looked sternly at him, "Is history that boring, Kouji Minamoto?" Kouji slowly lifted his head to looke at the teacher. He whispered, "I'm very sorry, I feel a bit sick." He got up from his desk and walked unsteadily to the door, then existed the classroom. The teacher just shoke her head and continued with the lesson. Lilly, however, was very worried about Kouji. She muttered, "There must be something wrong with him. I'm going to find out." She raised her head. It took a while for the teacher to realize her. Lilly asked politely, "Excuse me, miss. May I please go and check if Kouji is OK? He might need help." The teacher sighed and nodded in agreement. Matt stared at Lilly hurried out of the room.

Kouji was in the boy's bathroom, washing his face. He closed his eyes and whispered, "It's only a dream, Kouji. Everything is fine and will be." Then, he felt dizzy but he slowly went out the bathroom. On his way, he came face to face with Lilly. She was relieved to see he was OK. Lilly asked worriedly, "Kouji, are you OK?" Kouji stared at the floor and replied, "Yeah.... I'm feeling a bit sick. That's all." Lilly observed him and said, "It's not like you. You never sleep during classes, Kouji. And you look. very comfortable as if something is bothering you." Kouji closed his eyes and sighed. He whispered in reply, "I think I'm just too tired." He felt worse than before. He collapsed and Lilly quickly caught him in her arms. She asked desperately, "Kouji, are you sure you are OK? You are very unwell." Kouji moaned and lifted himself off Lilly. He whispered, "I'm sorry." He gently freed her grip and walked backed to the classroom. The bell had already gone 15 minutes ago. It was Wednesday, so Tai and Takuya went for soccer practice. Takuya didn't really want to go, but the match would be on next week. He had no choice but to follow Tai for practice.
