Italics mean thoughts...
Darkness and Light: Requiem
For every darkness there is a light and vise versa. Young Hikari thought she had seen the last of this darkness, but darkness is something that you can never get rid of.
"I'm off to school now!" shouted Hikari as she grabbed her book bag and ran out of the apartment door.
"Wait for me!" shouted Taichi as the ran out of the door with his hair very messy.
"I told you, Oni-chan, you should really start getting use to waking up early," teased Hikari as she and her brother got in the elevator. It's been a year and a half since Hikari had to face the dark trecherous being that lived inside her, which was her dark being in mind and body. She had been rid of her dark dreams, and she had a very close romantic relationship with Takeru ever since.
"Yeah, like I can do that," stressed the much older boy. He and Hikari parted ways as they walked off into their own directions. Taichi was a freshman in high school now, so Hikari was away from him once again. On her way to school, she was slightly shivering from the cold winter weather. She came to a halt as someone put a hand on her shoulder, making her shudder even more.
"Ohayo, Hikari-chan," the person said. She turned around to see Takeru with a smile on his face. "Ohayo, Takeru-kun," she replied, taking her arm with his own and leaning into his body as they continued to walk.
"How was your morning?" asked Takeru. Hikari sighed.
"Same-o, same-o," answered Hikari, making Takeru chuckled. He found lots of things cute about her. Her sarcasm being an example. They walked the rest of the way to school in silence, enjoying each other's company. They made it to first period in time. Daisuke, like usual, had the first period class with them.
"Ohayo!" he greeted the two chosens. They greeted him back and took a seat. Hikari couldn't help but feel a strange feeling overtaking her, like as if someone she knows was near her. The teacher walked in and the student's rose to greet him.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Tamayori-sensei," said all of the students in unison, before taking a seat. "Same to you my students, but I have interesting news for all of you. We'll be having a student not much older than you, watching and reporting the academics happening in your class for her high school," explained the teacher. The door opened and in came a girl with long silver hair and red eyes. Someone that Hikari, Takeru, and Daisuke easily recognized.
"It's you!" shouted Daisuke as he rose out of his seat and pointed at the girl. The teacher shot angry eyes at him.
"Mr. Motomiya! Seat a seat and have respect for this student!" warned the teacher. Daisuke obeyed. Hikari and Takeru stared at her with eyes wide open.
"Sakura-san," whispered Hikari to herself. Sakura glanced over to Hikari for a moment, but then looked back at the teacher to speak with him, along with the rest of the class listening. She took a seat in the back of the class with a notepad in her hand to write notes about their activities. While class was happening, Sakura constantly gave glances to the three chosen's backsides, making them feel uneasy. Class had ended, and the teacher left the class for a few moments. Hikari along with her companions walked over to where Sakura sat.
"What do you really want?" asked Takeru coldly. He still had trouble getting use to the fact that she was on their side after what happened a year and a half ago.
"I'm here to take notes on your class for my school on their part. However, I came across some information that would come of some use to you Hikari-san," said Sakura.
"Well, what is this news?" asked Daisuke, getting impatient. Sakura shook her head.
"No, here is not the best place. After school," replied Sakura. The others didn't like her suggestion, but went with it anyway.
They continued their school day regularly, and then met up with Sakura in the front of the school.
"So, now are you going to tell us what you're here for?" asked Takeru. Sakura took a breath before starting to explain.
"After what happened the last time I saw you, Hikari-san was able to destroy the tag and crest of Darkness, going back to the state you see before you," started Sakura, while she and the boys glanced at Hikari for a moment.
"Yeah,and?" edged Takeru, motioning her to continue. "Well, since she did so, the crest's powers were not completely erased. You can't rid of darkness remember. As long as there is a light crest, the powers of the dark crest will continue to live on. So since the crest's powers weren't able to use the tag as a body anymore, it went to its second source," continued Sakura.
"Second source?" asked Hikari. Sakura nodded her head.
"Yes. Remember when you, Takeru-san, and the other original chosens gave up your crest to the digimon sovereigns to restore the digital world?" asked Sakura. Hikari and Takeru nodded their heads.
"Yeah, but how do you know about that?" asked Hikari.
"Someone told me about it," answered Sakura, thinking about a certain chosen child she had met with a while ago.
"Okay, what is this second source then? I don't understand," commented Takeru.
"Let me finish. When you gave up your crest powers, the powers of the digimentals became active am I correct?" asked Sakura.
"You mean like the digimental of Light? I suppose," replied Hikari. "The same happened with the Crest of Darkness. When you gave up its power, it activated the Digimental of Darkness," continued Sakura. This shocked the chosen children.
"What?!!" shouted Hikari as a chill went down her spine.
"Over time, the digimental's powers started to increase. Pretty soon, it will gain enough powers from the darkness of the digital world to fully restore the crest's powers, and lead it's way to it's owner," warned Sakura.
"You must mean me," whispered Hikari as she lowered her head in fear. Takeru put an arm around her to comfort her.
"Yes, if you don't go to the digital world and destroy it now, it will do to you what the crest of darkness did to you," exclaimed Sakura. "If I refuse?" asked Hikari. Sakura sighed, knowing Hikari would wan't to have nothing to do with it. "It will take over your dreams and take over you completely once again. Then the dark Hikari-san that gave me my powers will return," finished Sakura.
"This can't be," stressed Takeru as he held a scared Hikari against his chest in an embrace. Daisuke started to get annoyed.
"Hey, wait a minute! How do you know all of this?!" shouted Daisuke, making Sakura lower her head.
"I felt really bad about what I did to Hikari-san, so I met with another chosen child to research any disturbances in the digital world. Also, I was looking for my own digimon partner, even though I could no longer return to the digital world. Over time, I started to have dreams of Dark Hikari telling me about the dark digimental, thus giving me the determination to see why I had these dreams. I then discovered with the chosen child I told you about, and we discovered the where abouts of the dark digimental. So I came to warn you," explained Sakura.
"If that is the case, then I guess I have no other choice than to find this digimental and destroy it before it controls me," mumbled Hikari as she burried her face in Takeru's chest.
"Hikari-san, are you sure? I mean, you could have the other chosen children do it for you," suggested Sakura. For once, Takeru actually agreed with her, knowing he didn't want to risk loosing Hikari to the forces of dakness once again. Still, Hikari just shook her head.
"Hai, this is my problem. I don't want to involve the others and endanger their lives like last time," explained Hikari. Takeru sighed with guilt, and Daisuke, feeling the same way, decided to speak up.
"No way Hikari-chan! We're all chosen children, and we'll help you whatever way we can," shouted Daisuke with pride. "I agree with Daisuke-kun. I swore I would protect you, so I'm not going to let you do it alone," said Takeru, while giving her an assuring smile. Sakura sighed, knowing what she got herself into. She didn't want to put the chosens through this, but she had no choice.
"I wish you the best of luck," assured Sakura. The three nodded in thanks for her praise.
"So when should we get started?" asked Daisuke as he punched his left hand with his right.
"Tommorrow," answered Hikari. The others gave her a shocked expression.
"Why so soon?" asked Daisuke, expecting that they would at least finish the school week before doing anything dire.
"The sooner we get rid of this digimental, the sooner we stop it's growth in power," explained Hikari seriously. Sakura nodded.
"Alright, I'll come to the school and give you the coordinates of the digimental of the digital world where the digimental is located," suggested Sakura.
"Okay then, it's settled," commented Takeru. Hikari glanced at her watch and winced.
"It's getting late. I promised I would help my mother cook today, see you guys," she shrieked as she gave a quick kiss to Takeru and ran off, waving at the others.
"Bye," said the other three in sync. The others realized that they should be getting home soon as well and left. Sakura stayed behind as she grabbed her cell phone and dialed a number that she had saved.
"Hey, I told them," said Sakura.
To Be Continued...

As you can tell, I once again based this fanfiction off of the original japanese version of the anime. I plan to continue the other stories I have started, so hopefully they all can progress beautifully. I decided to continue this story since I got so many reviews for the previous one, mostly consider how Xanpluto wanted to read more. So I decided to start this while I still had it in my mind.
Leave me a review please.
