IMPORTANT!~!! I'M NOT PLAGERIZING. THIS FIC WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN BY AIZLYNN. HOWEVER, IF YOU GO READ THE ONE POSTED ON HER ACCOUNT AND HAVE READ HER CHAPTER NOTE LEFT IN 6, YOU WOULD BE AWARE THAT SHE DIDN'T WISH TO CONTINUE FOR MY SIN, MY VIRTUE AND WAS WILLING TO PASS IT ON TO A PERSON WHO WANTED IT. I was just luck enough to ask first :D SO THIS IS NOT A STOLEN FIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all kthx. Though please note that until I get my Digimon obsession back and also examine the plot Aizlynn had for this story, I highly doubt this will be updated for a LONG while n_n; Apologizes!
This is a new story idea I had. I was bored, and I mean really bored, so I started to think and this came to me.

Enjoy and the chapter shalt start after the Sins and Virtues.

Kari nibbled her bottom lip, as she sometimes did when she was nervous. She wasn't exactly sure why she was nervous, but she was. Something was going to happen, she was sure of it. What it was, she would find out later. She switched from one foot to the other as she stood in the hallway, her arms wrapped around her books protectively. She was let out of her last class early, by 5 minutes. She had already had her stuff with her, so she stood outside of Tk's last class, waiting for the last bell to ring, and allow her to go home with her friends.
Kari switched feet again, now leaning more on her right foot. A sudden uneasy feeling swept over her. She felt sick, but she knew she was fine. This happened often, whenever something wrong was going to happen, or was happening. This was a feeling she was used to by now. She first started having these feelings when she was sick, the time when she was suppose to go to summer camp with Tai. But no one had believed her about it, so she kept it to herself. She used to try to tell everyone, but now she tells no one. They don't need to know anyway.
Kari jumped as the bell rang. She had been lost in thought, thinking of the dreams she had had those days Tai was at camp. She shook her head to clear the thought, but this sent a shooting pain through her body. She dropped her stuff and clutched the sides of her head. A terrible headache hit her like a train.
"Kari!" Tk's voice filled her ears. She couldn't answer him though. The world was fading in and out. She felt like she was spinning in a whirling vortex, a multitude of colors flashing in front of her. Voices became distant, the voices that were calling her name grew smaller and smaller until Kari heard nothing. The colors stopped and all she saw was empty blackness. A coldness wrapped around her, making her gasp. The coldness wrapped tightly around, squeezing her.
Beware the boy. For he is Sinful, and deadly. Tangling with him will mean you are throwing away your life. Watch for him, beware of him. Never let him to close, but don't push him away. He will never change, but you must prevent things from becoming worse. His Sins and deadly, and if you get to close, you will be too. Watch for him. When the time is right, you will know which boy we speak of. We...
Kari felt the coldness leave. Her unconscious half did anyway. Her conscious half felt herself being picked up. A voice, familiar, yet unknown, said softly, "Come back Kari. Come on, I know you can do it. Kari..."
Kari become fully conscious. Who's touch made her lose contact with Voice, as she had begun to call them. She opened her eyes a little, then blinked them fully open. Holding her was none other then her best friend's older brother and her older brother's best friend, Matt. Surprisingly, Kari didn't scream like she thought she would.
"Put me down, please. I'm fine," Kari simply said, saying without really knowing. It was amazing. Her body could function without her actually there. She was there, but lost in her thoughts. She was still thinking about what Voice had told her. No one had been able to cut off Voice before, but Matt had. Granted, Kari did have a little crush on him, which Tk knew about. And surprisingly, he supported her. She believed his exact words were, "You're exactly what he'd need. Heaven knows he needs help, and you could help him a lot."
"You sure your fine?" Matt asked her, bring her from her thoughts.
"Yes. I don't know what came over me. I guess I was just tired, and I have a headache. But I'll be fine," Kari replied. At this point, Kari looked around. No one was there. "I thought I heard Tk's voice before I blacked out."
"Err, Kari. Tk was never here..." Matt said, looking at her oddly.
"But I could have sworn it was his voice I heard..." Kari trailed off, thinking. Yes, she had defiantly heard TK's voice, but had he been there, or was she just hearing things. Not that she didn't already, but still.
"I think you need a little rest. Or a lot of rest. But either way, wait here while I call Tai to come pick you up," Matt said. He set her down and went to find a phone. Kari instantly leaned against the wall for support. It took all of her strength to even lean against it. She closed her eyes and took even breaths. Kari wasn't sure how long she had been like that, but she heard footsteps. Matt was coming back.
"Kari, you ok?" Matt's voice floated around her.
"No. No I'm not," Kari replied, feeling she couldn't lie to him.
"I thought not," Matt said in return. He walked over and stood in front of her, hands resting on the wall on either side of her head. "Come on, I'll carry you."
Kari simply nodded, unsure if she should speak or not. Matt turned around and leaned down. Kari wrapped her arms around his neck lightly, and was lifted up into a piggy back. Kari was used to piggy backs from Tai, and Matt was used to giving them to Tk when he was younger.
Kari rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling her head against his neck. "Thank you Matt."
Matt blushed. She was trying to get comfortable, but did she have to be so...close. "You're welcome."
They walked in silence out to the front of the building. Matt leaned down and Kari got off. She instantly collapsed to her knees in the grass. Matt leaned in front of her.
"Don't worry Kari. Tai will be here soon. He'll help you," Matt tried to comfort her.
"No one can help me," Kari found herself saying as she leaned against him, unable to sit up on her own. "I feel so weak. Weaker then usual."
"Kari what do you mean?" Matt asked, pushing some hair behind her ear. He kept his hand on the side of her face, making her look at him. "You can tell me."
"No," Kari's eyes searched his. "I tried to tell people once, but no one listened. No one believed."
"I'll listen," Matt answered. Kari was still searching his eyes. She found truth in them, and that's all she needed.
"You know how I was suppose to go to the camp with Tai, but I couldn't?" Matt nodded and Kari contined." Well, I was sick. I was weak, weaker then this, and it hurt to move. I felt like I was going to die, and I think for a little bit, I did."
Matt gaped at her. "What do you mean, you think you died?"
"Well, it was more like I did die for a little. I was surrounded by this white light and kind voices spoke to me. They urged me forward, but I told them I couldn't go. I had promised Tai I would play a game when he got back, because I had also promised to be better. They said the pain would go away forever. I would be fine and happy. But no, I had to wait for Tai. I wasn't going to leave him. Tai had felt so bad the last time I was sick that I couldn't let him think I was going to give up on him. But the voices told me my time was up, I had to go. Then I realized what they meant." She stopped for a breath, and looked over to Matt. He was looking back at her. He gestured for her to go on. "I was suddenly terrorified. No, I screamed, I have to live. For Tai, for mom, for dad, and for all the friend I hadn't made yet. And the voice seemed to smile at me. It realized I didn't want to live for myself, but for my friends and family. I didn't care what happened to me, so long as my family wasn't hurt. It granted me life again, but technically, I never died because I never reached the light."
Matt sat in silence. He let this sink in. "So you were granted life because you didn't care for your life, but instead those around you?" Kari nodded. "Kari, that's an interesting story."
"You don't believe me do you," Kari asked.
"Kari, it's quite the opposite. I believe every word you said. It doesn't surprise me. Kari, you always seemed angelic to me, and I guess I understand why."
"You're the only one who believes me. I tried to tell Mom and Dad and even Tai, but no one believed me. They said I dreamed it!"
"Well, I believe you."
"Thank you."
"That's the second time you've said that to me. I usually never get it."
"You deserve it."
Matt shook his head. "No, I don't." It was barely more then a mumble.
"Yes, you do. You're kind. I know you are," Kari smiled.
"Kari!" A new voice called. It was Tai. He came over and in no more then 5 minutes, Kari was on her way home. Matt watched the car go.
"Goodbye, Virtue. You've just met Sin," Matt whispered to the wind and he watched her drive off with Tai.
