---1985---
An eerie sort of silence fell over the room full of odd-looking creatures. Some were hunched over; others were looming, tall, over the heads of the others. Some were made of flesh, while others were made from cold metal. But each, however different they looked, had the same purpose of being in that freezing room.
They were waiting for one, one who would have the answer to their problems, their problem of love and friendship.
They had all seen the prophecies, they had all heard the stories and the rumours of what was yet to come, and they all wanted it stopped.
Yet none could think of a way to stop it, none that was, except him.
A muffled sort of sound suddenly filled the room, it was like soft footsteps, but the size and shape of the room, gave the effect that they were coming from every direction. These new sounds broke the silence, but it was the low moan coming from one of the waiting creatures that made all the monster's turn towards the new sound, some withdrew while others closed their eyes and turned their heads. For this was the sound of death, in its cruellest form.
Anyone watching would have found this reaction strange. For a room full of monsters had withdrawn from a sound that they so often enjoyed creating. Each one in that spine-chilling room, was guilty of murdering a fellow monster, but what an onlooker wouldn't know without the monsters' knowledge, would be that this creature had ways and methods of killing that would frighten the strongest of souls. This creature, however, was the monsters' last chance, there last chance to stop the inevitable from happening, and there last chance to stop them from being destroyed.
They had no other choice.
It stopped in the middle of the pitch-black room. For this the rooms other occupants were grateful, the darkness meant they would only have to feel the presence of this being, not both feel it and see it.
They waited, each trembling in turn as it faced them, and none needing light to feel the effect its gaze had on them. It was like plunging into an ice-cold river, the effect its eyes had on them, one glance and they were chilled to the bone. This creature didn't need light it had pure darkness.
The silence that followed the killing was almost as harsh on the ears of the monsters as the killing itself, it hung in the air creating a tense atmosphere in which, even these terrifying creatures dared not speak.
Suddenly a cold air swept across them and they were almost instantly visible. The candles that surrounded them, hanging from the walls were suddenly alight with blue flames. They cast shadows about the room that seemed to dance with anticipation as they waited for one to step forward and speak and finally, one of them did.
The effect it had on him as the one they all feared turned to face him was terrifying to behold.
This monster that was known to them as Myotismon, visibly shrank under its gaze. Cowering on the floor, he did not even lift its head as he spoke.
"Oh great one, I beg of you, help us, please!" He gasped; pain shooting through his bowed body as the creature approached him.
It considered Myotismon for a moment, apparently thinking, then it spoke in its cold, raspy voice.
"You have called me here because you fear the prophecies will come true, you fear two children will defeat me, your Lord?"
At once the entire population of the room broke into hurried explanations.
"No, my Lord, we would never."
"We would never think that, oh great one."
"We only hope to stop them before they face you."
"SILENCE!" It boomed through the room, causing them all to cower and shrink further into the shadows.
"I will not tolerate your incessant noise!" It growled at them.
"You!" It raised its gnarled hand and pointed it at a puppet-type monster that appeared to be made of wood. "Come!"
The puppet walked forwards, shaking as it got closer to the centre of the room. "You believe that these children that the entire digital world are whispering about, you think that they could defeat me?" Its eyes bore into those belonging to Puppetmon, "Well?"
"I-I never, I-I d-do not." He stuttered.
"He merely believes that we should try and protect our great and magnificent leader now, while these pitiful children are unaware of each other, my Lord." He bowed.
The eyes, so greatly feared, left their intense gaze on Puppetmon and turned to face the speaker.
The others watched with apprehension as Puppetmon stepped backward into the circle they had created and this new speaker stepped forward.
"Is that so?" The bone-chilling voice rasped.
"Certainly, my Lord. If the children of love and friendship are taken care of now, 'we' may never fear them again and you will be free to rule over this world and their own, as no one but them could possibly think of hurting you."
"You think they can hurt me, Piedmon?" It queried, its cold gaze now resting on him.
"No, oh great one, I just believe we should play it safe and eliminate any problems you could face, however small and insignificant they are, early on."
"Interesting." Its gaze left Piedmon and he bowed his way back into the circle of bodies.
The silence fell over the room once again as they waited to hear its response. It seemed like an eternity to them as he pondered over what he might do.
It also came as a great surprise to them as the doors to the circular building were slammed open from the outside and a figure was tossed in among them by the monster standing at the doorway.
"Ahh Ladydevimon how nice of you to grace us with your presence."
"Excuse my lateness oh magnificent one, but I have carried out the task you asked of me."
"Excellent." It purred as it walked towards the hunched up figure near the doorway.
As he approached the light near the entranceway that was now leaking in from outside he waved his hand and the doors instantly shut causing those around him to jump once more.
"Gennai." It mused. "How nice of you to join us."
The crumpled heap raised its head defiantly.
"Not like I had much of a choice." He coughed.
The creature smiled down at him, it was a twisted sort of smile, a smile that would be worn when someone, or something was enjoying the pain experienced by another.
Gennai tried to stand, but his failed him, he collapsed back onto the floor causing the crowd in the room to laugh at his attempts to regain some of his dignity.
They were however silenced by one sweeping look from the creature before them.
"Interesting that you should still try to fight for the losing side, Gennai, after all, there will be no good after tonight, evil will rule once my plan is carried out." He gave a short, low chuckle that made everyone present cower. "You see Gennai, even these fools." He cast an arm across the room causing a sudden chill. "Can carry out the simple task of killing two small children, and once they have, I need never worry again. You see I too have been doing my research over this time and I know you have selected several children to save both this world and their own from my wrath. But your plan will fail because you need the children of friendship and love alive to kill me and you need them present in this little group of yours if you even hope to defeat these idiots!" He laughed again and this time the others joined in.
Gennai made a move to stand up again and this time he succeeded. Swaying slightly he regained his balanced and looked up at the creature hidden by the shadows of the room and he too laughed.
"You fool. You don't think we didn't know that you had a source within us. We knew you were finding out about our plans and that you were being told by one of our members exactly who the children would be."
Each word he uttered seemed to drain him of the little strength he had left. He breathed in deeply and continued.
"What you may not have found out however is that we have protected those two children, you can't harm a hair on their heads without being reduced to something useless and even more vulgar than you already are!" He through a disgusted glance the creature's way and laughed once more, though it took much effort.
"You lose." He uttered as a powerful force threw him off his feet and against the wall on the far side of the room.
"Idiots!" It screamed. "Why was I not informed of this?"
"My Lord, my Liege, we did not find out ourselves until this very hour, this is why we awoke you and asked you to come here." Piedmon said.
The creature glared (took me ages to type that right, lol) around the room, causing the monsters within it to recoil in fear.
"A simple task." It muttered. "You were instructed to carry out a simple task. I got you in, I got them to trust you and all you had to do was inform me of their movements before they took place. IT WAS NOT DIFFICULT!" The words echoed round the silent room bouncing in and out of the holes in the beaten walls and off the bodies cowering at the edges of the circle.
"Forgive me, forgive me." He whispered. "I did not know, they did not tell me."
But the group never heard what he was not told as there had been a sickening crunching sound and a heart-stopping scream as the man was beheaded on the spot.
"A lesson to you all." He muttered more to himself than the wincing group.
They all stood there waiting; he had to know what to do. If the children of friendship and love weren't destroyed then they would be for sure. Those two children had more power locked up within them then they had combined. These two children would even be able to defeat him, their master, the strongest one of them, who feared nothing at all. These two children were prophesised, they were known throughout this world before they were even born. They were known to all digimon whether the digimon feared them or hoped for the day they would come and save them. These children could destroy the very creature that would lead them to the victory they all dreamed of. Ruling both worlds, if they were together they were unstoppable.
"I have it." He growled. "Their power, their ability that is supposed to be able to stop me from rising and capturing this world, it comes from their love for one another. The kind of love that only two people in love can achieve, am I right?"
Quite suddenly out of nowhere a body re-emerged, standing just in front of their master.
A couple of them withdrew further and gasped in shock. He had just killed this human, how was he now standing there.
A low murmur circled the group.
"He can bring back the dead and make them whole again..."
"Interesting power for a demon."
They were however silenced once again by an ice-cold glare from their Lord.
"Am I right?" He repeated.
"Yes, yes oh gracious one." The human cried, running his hands over his body and to his neck and head which was very much attached to his body again. "They hold the power to destroy you only if they are united as one, in love as we call it. They must be purely each other's and that can only happen if they are together."
"And it is true that brothers and sisters cannot feel this sort of love for each other, legally at least." He muttered as an after thought.
"Yes, yes, quite true oh brilliant master."
"Joke's on you again." Came a small whisper from the heap on the floor. "Even you can't change who they are born too as they are already within their world."
"You tire me." He sighed and with a blood-curdling scream Gennai had disappeared.
"Very well, that option isn't open to us. Suggestions please as I get rid of this one."
"Wait, oh magnificent one, I believe I have the solution to your problem. I can help you, in exchange for my life."
The young man stood up, he was little older than 15, looking at the beast before him. He wasn't going to go without a fight and he knew just how to sort out their problem.
"Very well, amuse me with your idea and maybe I will spare your life"
He stepped forward and whispered the plan he had thought up into its ear, holding his breath at the smell coming from it at the same time.
He stepped backwards after revealing his plan and watched as a slight smirk appeared on the gnarled face before him.
"And you are sure that will be enough to stop them being together."
"Quite sure, my Lord."
"Quite sure?"
"I am positive that they won't."
"Very well." He stated. "So it shall."
"Wait, if you do it now, oh incredible one, the spell may wear thin over time, I suggest that you do it when they are older and able to understand that it is wrong."
"And what happens until then? Since you are so full of ideas today."
"Well you could simply have one of them move far away and when it looks as if they will move back, then you could carry out my plan."
"Your plan?" His gaze was back on the young boy.
"I mean your plan, oh great one, your plan."
The creature laughed inwardly at the cowardice shown by the boy and at the same time the brilliance of his plan.
"Very well, I will do as you ask."
"And my life?"
"Is yours once again, but if your plan fails, know I have ways of hurting you that can be carried out even if I cease to exist." The young boy trembled and quickly bowed his way to the gigantic doors, heaving one open with all his might he exited the room and ran.
The beast smiled a twisted smile at the closed door.
"Interesting how a mere human could assist me in coming up with a plan to keep me in power for eternity, where you yourselves failed."
There was a low angry murmur that erupted from the crowd following this statement.
"However, you will have chance enough to prove yourselves in years to come. Now though I believe there is someone who feels like an extended visit to America."
A creepy and spine-tingling laugh sounded throughout the room and was soon joined by an excited chatter; none knew what was planned but him and a young boy whom was now facing several grotesque monsters that had appeared, as he had, out of thin air.
---2000---
"I must say it is wonderful to see you all again." Came the cold, sarcastic voice. "You may all be wondering why I called you back here now, well if I have been informed correctly I am to assume that loves mother is visiting her old home in Japan again before she returns home for good with her daughter." He spat the last two words out, and they were filled with so much venom and hate that the large group recoiled slightly as he said them.
Ignoring this he continued. "So now I see fit to put our little plan into action, I trust there are no objections to this?" Its voice was soft again, but the group of hideous monsters still winced at the sound of it.
They made no sound.
It smiled, and took the silence as their assent.
"Very well, oh I shall enjoy this, the downfall of the digidestined and the children of love and friendship destined never to feel anything but hate for each other."
And 15 years on, the same cruel laughter filled the circular room again.
---2002---
"Good morning."
"Morning." Repeated the voice.
"Hello? Earth to Sora? I said good morning to you."
The brown-haired man made a movement to grasp her shoulder in a friendly manner, but was too slow.
The redhead whipped her head round and glared at the middle-aged man before picking up her cereal and stalking off to her bedroom.
The man sighed and sank into the chair in defeat.
For the past two years he had been trying to get his stepdaughter to talk to him, but with no avail. She simply refused to acknowledge him and in the rare occasions in which she did show some signs of knowing that he was talking to her, she would just stare at him, her eyes full of hate and then stalk away to her bedroom.
The thing that got to him most about her attitude towards him was not the fact that she ignored him completely, but that she would never act like a spoilt teenager in any other way. She never slammed her door after he tried to talk to her. She constantly got excellent marks and she had never so much as got lines to his knowledge. All in all, Sora Takenouchi was the perfect daughter, except that ever since he had confessed his love for her mother and the pair had got married she had treated him as though he didn't exist.
In some ways he couldn't blame her for hating him. He had been the reason that her mother and father's already rocky marriage had fallen apart, and he was the reason she had been forced to move back to Japan, well at least the biggest part of the reason.
He had thought that his son would have reacted to the news in a similar manner, he thought that he would have ignored his new wife. Even though Yamato had never confessed it, he knew that he had secretly been hoping that his mother and father would have got back together. Sadly for him and TK and now Sora, that would never happen. He was happy now, with his new wife.
But Yamato had taken the typical teenage boy approach to everything; he insulted his new wife at every chance, despised Sora for never talking, became colder than normal towards him and spent most of his life at numerous parties throughout Odaiba.
Well this was the price you paid for love, Malcolm guessed.
Smiling suddenly he felt his wife's arms encircle his neck and her voice echo in his ear.
"Morning."
He turned to smile at her and was greeted by her lips on his. 'Always the best way to start the day.' He grinned inwardly.
Yamato's P.O.V
He shook his head at his dad in disgust. It was bad enough that he had to live with this new marriage and his dad's new wife and her intolerable daughter, but did they really have to make out in front of him.
His gaze broke though as he heard a door click open next to him.
Sora was up; she turned to look into the kitchen and turned quickly away only to meet his eyes and for a fleeting second Yamato saw the pain in her eyes as she saw what was going on in the kitchen.
He made a motion to talk to her but she had already turned her head and walked off towards the bathroom with her clothes under her arm.
Shaking his head he turned and headed back into his bedroom and got dressed for school.
Twenty minutes later he emerged from his room, his uniform on and his hair perfectly styled. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed for the last apple in the fruit bowl, but his wasn't the only hand to try and pick it up.
He felt her soft hand underneath his; he felt how delicate it was to touch how soft her skin was. A light blush rested on his cheeks as he realised what he had just been thinking. 'Dude, that's your stepsister!' He yelled at himself. 'Get a grip on your hormones.'
"You have it." I said, nodding at the apple. I didn't expect a response so I turned and walked towards the fridge to find something else.
"Thanks." She said as I turned my back.
Stopping dead in my tracks I turned to stare at her, her head was down and she was blushing slightly. She never talked to me, come to think of it I'd never heard her talk to anyone in the two or so years I'd known her.
I opened my mouth to respond, but at that moment my dad and her mum walked back in grinning at each other and Sora made to leave the kitchen quickly. But she was stopped. She looked up glaring at her mother for not allowing her to leave.
"This will only take a minute Sora, and you don't have to speak, just listen." She joked and apparently hoping for a response from her daughter, none came however and she sighed.
"We just wanted you kids to know that we're taking a holiday, a long holiday actually. Your father and I have decided to go on a cruise together and we thought it'd be nice if you stayed here and had the house to yourselves for that time."
This was brilliant! A whole month without them around. Just me and Sora, and it wasn't like she'd talk to me, none stop parties for a month and at that thought I resisted the urge to say what everyone was likely to be thinking. That they weren't taking us because they wanted to be alone. It wasn't that they thought we'd enjoy staying at home alone more, they just didn't want us hanging around while they had 'fun'.
Either way it was brilliant and in truth a whole month without them kissing in the kitchen every morning would be better then a month on a cruise ship.
"We leave the day after tomorrow, it was kind of a last minute thing." Dad said, gazing at his wife almost longingly.
I resisted the urge to shudder and settled for a pleasant smile.
"Have fun then, and don't worry you'll have some of the house left to come back to." I grinned.
"Thought you'd like it Yamato, just not too many parties okay, I know school will be out while we're away, but still, we don't want the neighbours complaining, now do we?" He laughed at his attempt to make a joke.
Raising my eyebrows I just smiled placidly.
"How about I help you both pack." And with that I ushered them both out of the kitchen and to their bedroom.
Well first chapter done, if you guys like it I'll post more. please review (
Luv white lily
Please read and review and I don't own digimon. enjoy!
(Oh and none of the battles took place in 01 or 02, so only some of them know each other.)
---1985---
An eerie sort of silence fell over the room full of odd-looking creatures. Some were hunched over; others were looming, tall, over the heads of the others. Some were made of flesh, while others were made from cold metal. But each, however different they looked, had the same purpose of being in that freezing room.
They were waiting for one, one who would have the answer to their problems, their problem of love and friendship.
They had all seen the prophecies, they had all heard the stories and the rumours of what was yet to come, and they all wanted it stopped.
Yet none could think of a way to stop it, none that was, except him.
A muffled sort of sound suddenly filled the room, it was like soft footsteps, but the size and shape of the room, gave the effect that they were coming from every direction. These new sounds broke the silence, but it was the low moan coming from one of the waiting creatures that made all the monster's turn towards the new sound, some withdrew while others closed their eyes and turned their heads. For this was the sound of death, in its cruellest form.
Anyone watching would have found this reaction strange. For a room full of monsters had withdrawn from a sound that they so often enjoyed creating. Each one in that spine-chilling room, was guilty of murdering a fellow monster, but what an onlooker wouldn't know without the monsters' knowledge, would be that this creature had ways and methods of killing that would frighten the strongest of souls. This creature, however, was the monsters' last chance, there last chance to stop the inevitable from happening, and there last chance to stop them from being destroyed.
They had no other choice.
It stopped in the middle of the pitch-black room. For this the rooms other occupants were grateful, the darkness meant they would only have to feel the presence of this being, not both feel it and see it.
They waited, each trembling in turn as it faced them, and none needing light to feel the effect its gaze had on them. It was like plunging into an ice-cold river, the effect its eyes had on them, one glance and they were chilled to the bone. This creature didn't need light it had pure darkness.
The silence that followed the killing was almost as harsh on the ears of the monsters as the killing itself, it hung in the air creating a tense atmosphere in which, even these terrifying creatures dared not speak.
Suddenly a cold air swept across them and they were almost instantly visible. The candles that surrounded them, hanging from the walls were suddenly alight with blue flames. They cast shadows about the room that seemed to dance with anticipation as they waited for one to step forward and speak and finally, one of them did.
The effect it had on him as the one they all feared turned to face him was terrifying to behold.
This monster that was known to them as Myotismon, visibly shrank under its gaze. Cowering on the floor, he did not even lift its head as he spoke.
"Oh great one, I beg of you, help us, please!" He gasped; pain shooting through his bowed body as the creature approached him.
It considered Myotismon for a moment, apparently thinking, then it spoke in its cold, raspy voice.
"You have called me here because you fear the prophecies will come true, you fear two children will defeat me, your Lord?"
At once the entire population of the room broke into hurried explanations.
"No, my Lord, we would never."
"We would never think that, oh great one."
"We only hope to stop them before they face you."
"SILENCE!" It boomed through the room, causing them all to cower and shrink further into the shadows.
"I will not tolerate your incessant noise!" It growled at them.
"You!" It raised its gnarled hand and pointed it at a puppet-type monster that appeared to be made of wood. "Come!"
The puppet walked forwards, shaking as it got closer to the centre of the room. "You believe that these children that the entire digital world are whispering about, you think that they could defeat me?" Its eyes bore into those belonging to Puppetmon, "Well?"
"I-I never, I-I d-do not." He stuttered.
"He merely believes that we should try and protect our great and magnificent leader now, while these pitiful children are unaware of each other, my Lord." He bowed.
The eyes, so greatly feared, left their intense gaze on Puppetmon and turned to face the speaker.
The others watched with apprehension as Puppetmon stepped backward into the circle they had created and this new speaker stepped forward.
"Is that so?" The bone-chilling voice rasped.
"Certainly, my Lord. If the children of love and friendship are taken care of now, 'we' may never fear them again and you will be free to rule over this world and their own, as no one but them could possibly think of hurting you."
"You think they can hurt me, Piedmon?" It queried, its cold gaze now resting on him.
"No, oh great one, I just believe we should play it safe and eliminate any problems you could face, however small and insignificant they are, early on."
"Interesting." Its gaze left Piedmon and he bowed his way back into the circle of bodies.
The silence fell over the room once again as they waited to hear its response. It seemed like an eternity to them as he pondered over what he might do.
It also came as a great surprise to them as the doors to the circular building were slammed open from the outside and a figure was tossed in among them by the monster standing at the doorway.
"Ahh Ladydevimon how nice of you to grace us with your presence."
"Excuse my lateness oh magnificent one, but I have carried out the task you asked of me."
"Excellent." It purred as it walked towards the hunched up figure near the doorway.
As he approached the light near the entranceway that was now leaking in from outside he waved his hand and the doors instantly shut causing those around him to jump once more.
"Gennai." It mused. "How nice of you to join us."
The crumpled heap raised its head defiantly.
"Not like I had much of a choice." He coughed.
The creature smiled down at him, it was a twisted sort of smile, a smile that would be worn when someone, or something was enjoying the pain experienced by another.
Gennai tried to stand, but his failed him, he collapsed back onto the floor causing the crowd in the room to laugh at his attempts to regain some of his dignity.
They were however silenced by one sweeping look from the creature before them.
"Interesting that you should still try to fight for the losing side, Gennai, after all, there will be no good after tonight, evil will rule once my plan is carried out." He gave a short, low chuckle that made everyone present cower. "You see Gennai, even these fools." He cast an arm across the room causing a sudden chill. "Can carry out the simple task of killing two small children, and once they have, I need never worry again. You see I too have been doing my research over this time and I know you have selected several children to save both this world and their own from my wrath. But your plan will fail because you need the children of friendship and love alive to kill me and you need them present in this little group of yours if you even hope to defeat these idiots!" He laughed again and this time the others joined in.
Gennai made a move to stand up again and this time he succeeded. Swaying slightly he regained his balanced and looked up at the creature hidden by the shadows of the room and he too laughed.
"You fool. You don't think we didn't know that you had a source within us. We knew you were finding out about our plans and that you were being told by one of our members exactly who the children would be."
Each word he uttered seemed to drain him of the little strength he had left. He breathed in deeply and continued.
"What you may not have found out however is that we have protected those two children, you can't harm a hair on their heads without being reduced to something useless and even more vulgar than you already are!" He through a disgusted glance the creature's way and laughed once more, though it took much effort.
"You lose." He uttered as a powerful force threw him off his feet and against the wall on the far side of the room.
"Idiots!" It screamed. "Why was I not informed of this?"
"My Lord, my Liege, we did not find out ourselves until this very hour, this is why we awoke you and asked you to come here." Piedmon said.
The creature glared (took me ages to type that right, lol) around the room, causing the monsters within it to recoil in fear.
"A simple task." It muttered. "You were instructed to carry out a simple task. I got you in, I got them to trust you and all you had to do was inform me of their movements before they took place. IT WAS NOT DIFFICULT!" The words echoed round the silent room bouncing in and out of the holes in the beaten walls and off the bodies cowering at the edges of the circle.
"Forgive me, forgive me." He whispered. "I did not know, they did not tell me."
But the group never heard what he was not told as there had been a sickening crunching sound and a heart-stopping scream as the man was beheaded on the spot.
"A lesson to you all." He muttered more to himself than the wincing group.
They all stood there waiting; he had to know what to do. If the children of friendship and love weren't destroyed then they would be for sure. Those two children had more power locked up within them then they had combined. These two children would even be able to defeat him, their master, the strongest one of them, who feared nothing at all. These two children were prophesised, they were known throughout this world before they were even born. They were known to all digimon whether the digimon feared them or hoped for the day they would come and save them. These children could destroy the very creature that would lead them to the victory they all dreamed of. Ruling both worlds, if they were together they were unstoppable.
"I have it." He growled. "Their power, their ability that is supposed to be able to stop me from rising and capturing this world, it comes from their love for one another. The kind of love that only two people in love can achieve, am I right?"
Quite suddenly out of nowhere a body re-emerged, standing just in front of their master.
A couple of them withdrew further and gasped in shock. He had just killed this human, how was he now standing there.
A low murmur circled the group.
"He can bring back the dead and make them whole again..."
"Interesting power for a demon."
They were however silenced once again by an ice-cold glare from their Lord.
"Am I right?" He repeated.
"Yes, yes oh gracious one." The human cried, running his hands over his body and to his neck and head which was very much attached to his body again. "They hold the power to destroy you only if they are united as one, in love as we call it. They must be purely each other's and that can only happen if they are together."
"And it is true that brothers and sisters cannot feel this sort of love for each other, legally at least." He muttered as an after thought.
"Yes, yes, quite true oh brilliant master."
"Joke's on you again." Came a small whisper from the heap on the floor. "Even you can't change who they are born too as they are already within their world."
"You tire me." He sighed and with a blood-curdling scream Gennai had disappeared.
"Very well, that option isn't open to us. Suggestions please as I get rid of this one."
"Wait, oh magnificent one, I believe I have the solution to your problem. I can help you, in exchange for my life."
The young man stood up, he was little older than 15, looking at the beast before him. He wasn't going to go without a fight and he knew just how to sort out their problem.
"Very well, amuse me with your idea and maybe I will spare your life"
He stepped forward and whispered the plan he had thought up into its ear, holding his breath at the smell coming from it at the same time.
He stepped backwards after revealing his plan and watched as a slight smirk appeared on the gnarled face before him.
"And you are sure that will be enough to stop them being together."
"Quite sure, my Lord."
"Quite sure?"
"I am positive that they won't."
"Very well." He stated. "So it shall."
"Wait, if you do it now, oh incredible one, the spell may wear thin over time, I suggest that you do it when they are older and able to understand that it is wrong."
"And what happens until then? Since you are so full of ideas today."
"Well you could simply have one of them move far away and when it looks as if they will move back, then you could carry out my plan."
"Your plan?" His gaze was back on the young boy.
"I mean your plan, oh great one, your plan."
The creature laughed inwardly at the cowardice shown by the boy and at the same time the brilliance of his plan.
"Very well, I will do as you ask."
"And my life?"
"Is yours once again, but if your plan fails, know I have ways of hurting you that can be carried out even if I cease to exist." The young boy trembled and quickly bowed his way to the gigantic doors, heaving one open with all his might he exited the room and ran.
The beast smiled a twisted smile at the closed door.
"Interesting how a mere human could assist me in coming up with a plan to keep me in power for eternity, where you yourselves failed."
There was a low angry murmur that erupted from the crowd following this statement.
"However, you will have chance enough to prove yourselves in years to come. Now though I believe there is someone who feels like an extended visit to America."
A creepy and spine-tingling laugh sounded throughout the room and was soon joined by an excited chatter; none knew what was planned but him and a young boy whom was now facing several grotesque monsters that had appeared, as he had, out of thin air.
---2000---
"I must say it is wonderful to see you all again." Came the cold, sarcastic voice. "You may all be wondering why I called you back here now, well if I have been informed correctly I am to assume that loves mother is visiting her old home in Japan again before she returns home for good with her daughter." He spat the last two words out, and they were filled with so much venom and hate that the large group recoiled slightly as he said them.
Ignoring this he continued. "So now I see fit to put our little plan into action, I trust there are no objections to this?" Its voice was soft again, but the group of hideous monsters still winced at the sound of it.
They made no sound.
It smiled, and took the silence as their assent.
"Very well, oh I shall enjoy this, the downfall of the digidestined and the children of love and friendship destined never to feel anything but hate for each other."
And 15 years on, the same cruel laughter filled the circular room again.
---2002---
"Good morning."
"Morning." Repeated the voice.
"Hello? Earth to Sora? I said good morning to you."
The brown-haired man made a movement to grasp her shoulder in a friendly manner, but was too slow.
The redhead whipped her head round and glared at the middle-aged man before picking up her cereal and stalking off to her bedroom.
The man sighed and sank into the chair in defeat.
For the past two years he had been trying to get his stepdaughter to talk to him, but with no avail. She simply refused to acknowledge him and in the rare occasions in which she did show some signs of knowing that he was talking to her, she would just stare at him, her eyes full of hate and then stalk away to her bedroom.
The thing that got to him most about her attitude towards him was not the fact that she ignored him completely, but that she would never act like a spoilt teenager in any other way. She never slammed her door after he tried to talk to her. She constantly got excellent marks and she had never so much as got lines to his knowledge. All in all, Sora Takenouchi was the perfect daughter, except that ever since he had confessed his love for her mother and the pair had got married she had treated him as though he didn't exist.
In some ways he couldn't blame her for hating him. He had been the reason that her mother and father's already rocky marriage had fallen apart, and he was the reason she had been forced to move back to Japan, well at least the biggest part of the reason.
He had thought that his son would have reacted to the news in a similar manner, he thought that he would have ignored his new wife. Even though Yamato had never confessed it, he knew that he had secretly been hoping that his mother and father would have got back together. Sadly for him and TK and now Sora, that would never happen. He was happy now, with his new wife.
But Yamato had taken the typical teenage boy approach to everything; he insulted his new wife at every chance, despised Sora for never talking, became colder than normal towards him and spent most of his life at numerous parties throughout Odaiba.
Well this was the price you paid for love, Malcolm guessed.
Smiling suddenly he felt his wife's arms encircle his neck and her voice echo in his ear.
"Morning."
He turned to smile at her and was greeted by her lips on his. 'Always the best way to start the day.' He grinned inwardly.
Yamato's P.O.V
He shook his head at his dad in disgust. It was bad enough that he had to live with this new marriage and his dad's new wife and her intolerable daughter, but did they really have to make out in front of him.
His gaze broke though as he heard a door click open next to him.
Sora was up; she turned to look into the kitchen and turned quickly away only to meet his eyes and for a fleeting second Yamato saw the pain in her eyes as she saw what was going on in the kitchen.
He made a motion to talk to her but she had already turned her head and walked off towards the bathroom with her clothes under her arm.
Shaking his head he turned and headed back into his bedroom and got dressed for school.
Twenty minutes later he emerged from his room, his uniform on and his hair perfectly styled. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed for the last apple in the fruit bowl, but his wasn't the only hand to try and pick it up.
He felt her soft hand underneath his; he felt how delicate it was to touch how soft her skin was. A light blush rested on his cheeks as he realised what he had just been thinking. 'Dude, that's your stepsister!' He yelled at himself. 'Get a grip on your hormones.'
"You have it." I said, nodding at the apple. I didn't expect a response so I turned and walked towards the fridge to find something else.
"Thanks." She said as I turned my back.
Stopping dead in my tracks I turned to stare at her, her head was down and she was blushing slightly. She never talked to me, come to think of it I'd never heard her talk to anyone in the two or so years I'd known her.
I opened my mouth to respond, but at that moment my dad and her mum walked back in grinning at each other and Sora made to leave the kitchen quickly. But she was stopped. She looked up glaring at her mother for not allowing her to leave.
"This will only take a minute Sora, and you don't have to speak, just listen." She joked and apparently hoping for a response from her daughter, none came however and she sighed.
"We just wanted you kids to know that we're taking a holiday, a long holiday actually. Your father and I have decided to go on a cruise together and we thought it'd be nice if you stayed here and had the house to yourselves for that time."
This was brilliant! A whole month without them around. Just me and Sora, and it wasn't like she'd talk to me, none stop parties for a month and at that thought I resisted the urge to say what everyone was likely to be thinking. That they weren't taking us because they wanted to be alone. It wasn't that they thought we'd enjoy staying at home alone more, they just didn't want us hanging around while they had 'fun'.
Either way it was brilliant and in truth a whole month without them kissing in the kitchen every morning would be better then a month on a cruise ship.
"We leave the day after tomorrow, it was kind of a last minute thing." Dad said, gazing at his wife almost longingly.
I resisted the urge to shudder and settled for a pleasant smile.
"Have fun then, and don't worry you'll have some of the house left to come back to." I grinned.
"Thought you'd like it Yamato, just not too many parties okay, I know school will be out while we're away, but still, we don't want the neighbours complaining, now do we?" He laughed at his attempt to make a joke.
Raising my eyebrows I just smiled placidly.
"How about I help you both pack." And with that I ushered them both out of the kitchen and to their bedroom.
