Do You Know How I Feel?: Part 1


A dark room (Mimi's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*

I woke up with a gigantic headache and stomachache. I put one hand over my forehead and one hand over my stomach. I groaned loudly as another spike of pain hit my stomach. I opened my eyes to see pitch darkness. Where am I? Where's the rest of the gang? I managed to sit up, but the headache became unbearable when I did, so I went back to my previous position. I realized that I have been lying down on a cold, hard stone bed type thing. I realized that I couldn't yell because if I do, my aches get worse.

In a soft tone which was bearable for me I whispered, "Matt?" Why did I chose his name I had no clue. He was just the first person to come to mind. After a few moments of silence, I tried a different person. "Tai?" Naturally, I would've called him first since he's the leader, but since I didn't I decided to call him second. I waited for an answer. But it was just silence.

I tried my best friend, "Sora?" Then I prayed that there would be a reply. And indeed there was! I heard a groan a few seconds after I called out. It sounded feminine enough, so I whispered some more. "Is that you, Sora?"

"Mimi? Mimi, is that you?" This time, I was one hundred percent sure it was Sora. I began to crawl towards the direction in which thee voice came from, since walking was just too painful. Even crawling was terrible. I almost gave up and collapse on the floor. But something inside me encouraged me to go further. I was just about to surrender when I felt another stone bed similar to mine.

"Sora? Sora? Is that you?" I whispered. Then I felt a hand. I grabbed it and it gripped on to me. I could tell that it was Sora's hand. Then I heard another groan. "Sora, Are you all right?"

"That wasn't me, Mimi." Sora's voice answered back. Her voice was at her normal tone. I guess she didn't feel as bad as me. I let go of her hand and climbed on her stone bed. I avoided sitting on top of any part of her body. Then I gripped my stomach because another spike of pain hit me. My head felt like something was banging very loudly inside.

"That was me." a little girl's voice said. The voice sounded pretty close by. I couldn't recognize it at first. But then Sora figured it out.

"Kari?" Sora called out. Then I felt someone approaching us. I knew it was Kari because I heard the clanging of her whistle. Then she sat down on the stone bed next to me. Then, I felt Sora sat up also.

"Are you guys all right?" Kari asked.

"I'm fine. I would be even better if I can see." Sora replied.

"I don't know. I have a terrible headache and stomachache." I replied. Then I yelped a little too loud because I just felt the worse pain in my stomach yet.

Then Kari gasped. Then Sora asked, "Mimi, are you all right?" Then she put an arm around my shoulder. I nodded just so that she wouldn't worry. But something was really wrong inside my body. I could feel the burn.

"Did you guys hear something?" Kari asked.

"You'll have to be deaf not to hear that. Mimi did yelp pretty loud." Sora answered.

"No, not that. The sound that I heard a melody." she explained.

"I was too busy screaming." I answered.

"I'm pretty sure that I heard a melody-like the instant you screamed. Well, actually, it's more like a split second before." I didn't know anything so I just shrugged.

"The girl is right." a masculine voice said. Then, the voice was followed by a series of footsteps, getting closer and closer........


Back at camp (Matt's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*

I covered my eyes from the sun's rays as I opened them. I went over and shook Tai and T.K. so they'd wake up. Both of them were still sleeping like pigs. No matter how much I shook them, they'd only groan a little. So I gave up and went straight for the river to get some water. I poured the water right on their faces and they began to cough like crazy. When they finally caught their breath, they shook their wet hair out and said, "Wha? What's happening?" I had to laugh. It was just so funny. Our digimon laughed also.

When they saw me, Tai narrowed his eyes and said, "Funny, Ishida, Funny."

"Actually, Tai. It was quite funny." Agumon said with a snicker.

"Agumon! You're supposed to be on my side!" Tai almost shouted.

T.K. began to cry. I didn't want him to wake up Joe and Izzy so I bribed him by saying that if he would stop, I'll buy him five chocolate bars when we get home. "Come on, the girls didn't wake us up for our shifts. I guess we may as well take over now." I said.

"May as well. I was having a good dream too." Tai said as he got up.

"About Sora?" I asked. I was just teasing, but then his face turned burning red. When we got over to the tree where we take shifts at, the girls weren't there. I was beginning to get worried. They'd never run off without notifying us. Especially Mimi.

Then, we noticed a note that was attached to the tree by an arrow. Then we found Tanemon, Nyaromon, and Yokomon on a tree branch. They had cuts all over. I took the note out of the tree and began reading it. I was horrified as I read the note.

"What is it, Matt?" Tai asked. He knew that it was something serious.

"It's.....it's" I tried to say it. But the words just wouldn't come out. It was too horrible to say.

"It's what, Matt?" T.K. asked. Tai was tired of waiting. So he snatched the note from my shaking hands. I was completely paralyzed. I couldn't think. As he read the note, his eyes widened. His hands began to shake also. But he was able to look up.

"It's Myotismon........" Tai answered. T.K. gasped and fell down because of shock. I could hear him whispering Kari's name. I bet Tai could also. Because he put his arms around T.K. and let him cry in his arms.

I didn't know what to do. Why Mimi? I mean, I'm sorry for Kari and Sora also. But I guess I think that they're stronger and knows how to take care of themselves. But Mimi... sweet innocent Mimi. Why did it have to be her? I think Gabumon could sense what I was thinking. Cause he came over to me and said, "I'm sorry."

Tai began running into the forest. The rest of us ran after him. I finally caught up to him and grabbed his wrist. I turned him around and gripped onto his hand. He kept struggling and screaming, "LET ME GO, I HAVE TO SAVE SORA AND KARI!!!" I knew that he wasn't listening, so I did what I had to do. I slapped him across the face hard. Then I let go of him and he fell on the floor crying.

I put a hand on his shoulder and said gently, "I know how you feel. T.K. wants to save Kari also. For some reason, I have an urge to save Mimi. But we can't just barge in. We have to get Joe, Izzy, Gomamon, Tentomon, Tanemon, Nyaromon, and Tokomon to help us fight. And plus, you were just running. You can't fight without Agumon."

Then Agumon tugged at his shorts and asked, "Were you going to abandon me, Tai?"

Tai looked down at him and hugged him. "Of course not, Agumon. Of course not." Then he stood up again, "Let's get the others." he said as he walked towards the direction of the tree. I gave him a smile which he replied to with another smile. But inside, I was scared like you wouldn't believe.


Back at the castle(Sora's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*

Right when the voice appeared, tons of light shined. It was so sudden that Kari, Mimi, and I covered our eyes so we could have time to adjust to the bright light after the darkness. When we opened our eyes, we all gasped. Standing right there was the dark master, Myotismon. He had a black flute in his hand.

"Myotismon, where are we? Where are our digimon? Where are the others? And why do you have a flute with you?" I asked. I was about to lounge at him, but Mimi put a hand on my arm. Then I realized that it would be a waste of my energy to do that. So I just settled back. Mimi, Kari and I were huddled together as if to protect each other. For some reason, Mimi looked a little too pale. She had a hand on her stomach. I guessed that it was just the position in which she was sitting.

"Great questions, Sora." I was a little stunned to find that he knew my name out of all the digidestined. But then I realized that I was one of the three girls of our team. I knew that he knows Mimi like the back of his hand, he knew Kari because she was the eighth child. So that leaves me as the only girl. So I bit my tongue and let him continue.

"First of all, you're in the dungeon of my castle. Second of all, your puny little digimon tried to fight me but failed. I decided that capturing them would be a waste of time so I just left them by the tree. Third of all, the others are still back at what you call a campsite. And fourth of all, this drum can determine the life and death of your friend there." he explained as he pointed his recorder at Mimi.

She had her head on my shoulder and now she looks even worse. Her eyes were half closed and she was sweating pretty badly. I guessed that she was afraid. Then maybe Kari is braver than her. She probably got that from being around her brother too much. When he said the word death, I became afraid. I knew that he can do a lot to us. Especially since we don't have our digimon with us.

"What do you mean?" I asked narrow eyed.

"Let me give you a demonstration." he said with a wicked smile on his face. He began blowing on his recorder softly. I felt that Mimi became a little tense. Than he began banging on the drum louder and louder. I could tell that Mimi was becoming worse and worse. Her grip on her stomach was tighter and tighter. Finally, she couldn't stand it and began screaming, "STOP IT!" She fell off the stone bed and began rolling on the floor. I was completely terrified. I didn't know what to do. Kari began crying. I've never seen Kari cry or Mimi scream like this. I could tell she was in a lot of pain by her screaming.

Kari and I rushed over to help her. But we didn't know what to do. Kari stayed on the floor and I stood up, facing Myotismon. "Stop it! You KNOW she's in a lot of pain. When you captured me once before, you said that you loved her. But now you're treating the person you love like that?" I think that my yelling did some good. For he stared down at me for a while and then stopped banging on the drum all together. I rushed to Mimi to see if I could help, but she passed out.


Camp(Tai's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*

"Are you guys ready?" I asked the crew. I had everything I need with me. This was probably the most important mission I've had in my life. Saving my sister AND my first crush. Hold on....my...did I say my first crush? That like slipped. But I wonder why I said that. Then, I thought of Mimi. I could picture her crying and having Sora comforting her. For some reason, that happened a lot.

They all nodded at me as a reply. They were all very serious. Not one of them had a grin on their faces. But I couldn't blame them. I mean, us guys are supposed to protect girls. But we just let them slip right out of our fingers. ::Sighs:: I wonder what Sora and Kari are up to right now.... I hope they're all right...

Well, Nyaromon, Tanemon and Yokomon were still very tired from battling Myotismon. So I carried Yokomon on my shoulder, Matt carried Tanemon on his shoulder, and little T.K. carried Nyaromon on his shoulder.

We were led to a thick forest. Then Agumon told us to stop. He said that something was wrong. Once he pointed it out, all of us thought so.

"Guys, this is a very thick forest and there are like a million trees to be shade. But doesn't it feel like we're walking in a dessert again?" he asked.

"Now that you point it out, it does." Matt replied. All of us agreed. Then we heard a soft giggle. The voice was deep and devilish. The next thing we knew, we were the middle of the ocean, except it seemed like we were walking on the water. Actually, it barely felt like water.

"This is scientifically impossible. Humans can't walk on water! We're suppose to be too heavy." Izzy exclaimed as he began typing away on his computer.

"Izzy, hello? We're in a completely different dimension or whatever. You think that's scientifically possible?" Joe teased. He was grabbing on to Gomamon just in case, they began to sink. With a blink of an eye, we were in the middle of a snowstorm. This was whack. I mean, someone or something must've been behind this.

"Who are you? Are you too wimpy to show yourself?" I shouted to no one in particular. The others stared at me like I've gone mad. Then they caught on to what I was thinking and began doing the same thing.

Then, our questions were answered. The wind roared into our faces, "I AM THE GREAT MIRAGIMON!" Then, we were at the scene of a desert.

"You aren't doing anything, you're just a mirage. You can't do anything!" T.K. shouted.

"Yeah, you tell him, T.K.!" Matt encouraged him. Then, we saw a digimon that some how looks like an old man..

He roared in the same voice, "HOW DARE YOU? I 'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I CAN DO!" Then with that, the scenes just kept changing and changing. It seemed like we were spinning around a little too much...... We were getting way dizzy. It wasn't even funny.. Then, one by one, I saw our crew go down. Matt and I were the last to be up. But still, we fell on our knees and closed our eyes also.........
