Greetings from the Dark Realms! Whoo boy I've been gone for a while, ne? Well I'm BACK! No wait! Don't run! I won't hurt you I promise! Geez I'm not that scary am I? *looks at everyone in the Y!Group that knows her* Don't answer that. I promise to try to be around more often to post all the stories and junk that I've put off writing for the past year or so.
Anyhew, this was the FIRST EVER idea of a songfic, regular fic, WHATEVER that I _EVER_ tried to write in my life. That was about one and a half years ago shortly after I started watching Digimon. So that means that there is no chance of seeing Season 02 characters in this, because I didn't know they were going to exist. That also tells you no 03 characters. In fact, I haven't really been able to catch much about 03 due to school and junk, so I doubt I'll be writing about those guys anytime soon.
Anyway, the story takes place about a year after the DigiDestined defeat all of the dark masters. Gennai has summoned them back to defeat yet another evil Didi-thing and well, yeah that's the basic plot I guess. I have about 3 chapters of this already written and then stopped when I started getting other ideas in my head, so I'll post those and see if you people think I should try to continue with what I originally thought up for this fic or not. Sound good? Okay then! I'll shut up and let you read! Please remember to review at the end, otherwise I won't know to continue or not. Flames are DEFINITELY welcomed for once! Alrighty then? ON WITH THE FIC!!!!! -DS-
-Darkness and Shadows-
Part One
Darkness. Pure as night. Black nothingness that surrounded the entire world. Capturing everything that it could grasp, including one solitary, already darkened soul. That is what his life had been until that distant day that kept sweeping further and further down the path of history. The day that his chapter of childhood closed and the book of adulthood opened.
Nothing had been the same since that day. The darkness was still there, hidden among him. Yet there was a glow that had been lost for over four years that began to shine again. A light through the thick forest of loneliness that had almost completely tore out his soul. At that time he had learned to open his eyes to the new world around him and find that there would always be someone who loved him and cared about him. But now even those years had flown away with time, and hold habits do come back to haunt.
Now there he sat in another of Mr. Fujiyama's boring history lessons. The only thing keeping him alive was the sweet thought of his meeting with Sora that afternoon at lunch. She had told him that she had something serious to tell him at lunch. Whether or not she had told anyone else this "secret" was unknown to him, but he kept thinking of what she might need to tell him. He could just see it now...
"There's something I need to say...I've wagered the offers and thought long and hard about each path...He is nothing compared to you...So my conclusion is that....if you don't wake up you'll FAIL THIS COURSE!"
What? That wasn't Sora's voice! Where did it come from. He hated to think! Quickly opening his eyes, the vision of a very agitated Mr. Fujiyama towered over the boy.
"Sorry, Mr. Fujiyama. I was just picturing that horrible day that I experienced the Heighten View Terrace bombing and the traumatic effect it had on my family."
"Yes, well, I'm glad that you're thinking of something pertaining to the topic. But perhaps you could save that for _after_ I am done with the lesson."
"Yes, sir."
"As I was saying..." Mr. Fujiyama continued.
Brushing back a few blond pieces of hair, Matt Ishida closed his eyes and went back to visioning the beautiful Sora and their lunch together that afternoon.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Across the room, Tai Kamiya shook his head. Wouldn't Matt ever learn to actually _try_ to listen in class? Then maybe he wouldn't have to take the same course two years in a row! Oh well. Probably too occupied with the hard time that he was going through with the new marriage quickly approaching. Who would have thought his dad would have actually found time to date with all the work he had been doing lately? At least it would give him and TK time to be together while their dad was on his honeymoon.
It seemed strange to Tai how much Matt had slipped into his old self. After leaving the DigiWorld both had been what seemed like the best of friends. But now they fought more often than ever! And Matt had also slipped back into his "tough-guy" attitude lately. His sarcasticness was nothing new and all of that gel in his hair made one wonder if it didn't seep through into his brain! He had changed so much since the end of that adventure and Tai missed the Matt that he had become.
But why was he ripping on Matt for his changes? I mean sure the guy was a real jerk again but no one was perfect, right? In fact, they all had changed at least a bit as time passed...
Izzy was still the little computer genius, but with a little more sense of adventure. He was able to catch his intellectual speech and explain things simpler around the guys. Yes Izzy had actually been able to get out into the real world recently. It seemed that ever since his parents had actually told him he was adopted that Izzy was able to once in a while leave behind his computer and hang out with the gang.
Unlike Izzy, Mimi's brain still didn't seem to function much and her outfits seemed to get shorter and shorter by the day, but she was actually able to force out some good ideas now and then.
Joe was still as panicky as ever! But after he was able to stand up to his dad about the whole "your gonna be a doctor" predicament, he had taken charge of his life and even started to get into sports. Well, reporting about sports for the school newspaper counted, didn't it?
Little TK had begun to shoot up and was now almost the tallest in his class. When you gazed at him he looked like a mini-Matt. But in his eyes you could still see that little innocent guy that laughed and cried with tiny Patamon. Man how he missed Patamon, Agumon, and those guys!
Kari hadn't really changed all too much. She still rarely thought of herself and her eyes still shined with wonder, but her mind and looks had begun to change the most. She, too, had grown since those Digidays and no longer needed Tai to look after her. And to add to that she and TK also kept in touch a lot since he and his mom moved just outside of Odaiba. The other kids would have fun teasing Matt and Tai about becoming relatives sometime soon, but that seemed like old news by now.
Sora, lovely, brainy, tomboy-ish Sora was just starting to transform in front of Tai's eyes. Mimi had introduced her to some of her friends and now Sora was starting to wear skirts and high-step shoes to school, not to mention a little bit of eyeshadow now and then, instead of her usual jeans and sports shirt. Sure she looked terrific but Tai kinda missed his best friend at soccer practice to actually challenge his skill.
And Tai, well....ummm....There was always that his hair...And then his attitude....What about his clothes...no....uhhhh. Well, when he really thought about it, he was the one that hadn't changed much at all! Brushing back his still uncontrollable hair he felt those same blue goggles he had worn that entire trip. Although they did fit a bit better now! But he still had that leader character in him and tried to boss the gang around...a lot. And much against Kari's wishes, Tai often found himself stepping in and trying to protect her in situations that he knew she could handle on her own. Probably the only thing that had changed about him was his voice being deeper and his punches coming down harder on Matt.
Tai closed his eyes and wondered if all of that Digital World junk had really happened. It all seemed so long ago that it was like a nightmare-ish dream that still haunted him. But it was real. He knew that deep in his heart. And that promise that he had made Agumon of them always being friends still echoed in his mind along with many other moments. Like the first time that they had met...
~"Koromon?!! Is that short for 'talking head'?"~
~"It means 'brave little warrior' and don't you forget it, Tai!"~
...he couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of his friend who probably now didn't even remember him ever existing! All those fun times that they had spent together! Even if they did have to destroy many Digimon and almost getting killed many times themselves. What Tai wouldn't give to go through it all again. To see Koromon... Agumon... Greymon just one...more...time!...
*Beeeeeeeep* *Beeeeeeeep*
Huh? What was that? Probably just someone's watch going off.
*Beeeeeeeep* *Beeeeeeeep*
"Mr. Kamiya! Would you please stop disrupting class! One troublemaker is more than enough, isn't it Mr. Ishida?!" the teacher barked as both Matt and Tai jumped up.
"Wha? But I'm not doing anything, sir!" Tai said, astounded.
*Beeeeeeeep*
"Would you please turn off that watch of yours!" Mr. Fujiyama groaned. "I would like to finish the lesson before the bell rings!"
Watch? What watch? Tai hadn't brought a watch to school that day.
*Beeeeeeeep* *Beeeeeeeep*
But that noise was coming from _his_ pocket!
*Beeeeeeeep*
"MR. KAMIYA!!!"
"I'm getting it, sir!" Tai said while reaching into his jeans. How could his watch be going off when he didn't have one?!! But wait...had he put....no he couldn't have...could he? It couldn't be...could it? After all this time?
Tai's hand emerged, grasped around a small, beeping electronic. But how could it be? There was no possible way that it could happen! No...possible.....way........
As the bell rang, all of the kids in the class raced out the door to head for lunch. All except one. Tai sat in his seat for the longest time, then slowly forced himself to rise. His eyes never left that small, noisy toy in his palm. He didn't dare move. All that he could do was stand next to his desk....staring.
The Digivice had come to life once more!
