Author's Note: Yes, yes, I know, it's been a long time since the end of the Serie, but I recently stumbled across a wonderful Mimato fanart and… well, it caused me to fall back into this dear fandom x)
So here I come with a new fanfiction, which I hope will please the few people still haunting this area of ^_________^

Warning: Though my English is not this horrible (or at least I hope so) this story is still written by a French girl, and un-beta-ed… so if you find English mistakes despite my proof-readings, please, feel free to point them out, it'll be profitable for everyone :)

Now that we're done with the usual beginning-rant, please enjoy your reading of Red Moon :)

00 Masaharu.

"Takashi… oh, hi Miyako-Chan! You're late you know! We're all waiting for you here."

"Especially me!" Mimi yelled near Takeru's ear so as to be heard on the other end of the phone. "I've got a wonderful mascara I want you to try on!"

"Argh, Mimi! Not so close of my ear, I'll go deaf!" Takeru protested. "Anyway, hurry Miyako, or we'll go through the Digigate without you!"

Miyako protested so loudly, even Tai could hear it from where he stood, two meters away from Takeru. As he hung up, the blonde rubbed his right ear, certain he had just lost a lot of his hearing abilities.

It had been more than seven years since the Digidestined had saved the earth and the Digital world for the second time. Now, having returned to their world and country, they were trying to adjust back to their new lives, all the while roaming the country in search of the new other digidestined.
Now, bound forever by friendship and unforgettable memories, they liked to meet once a month so as to go back to the digital world, where they usually had picnic and collected news from all their other friends… Miyako's being late wasn't a rare thing, far from it, and they all knew they wouldn't leave without her… which didn't prevent them from threatening to do so.

As they were waiting for the lavender-haired girl to reach their former high school's computer room, a loud whine suddenly escaped from Yamato's throat, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

"Yamato!" Mimi exclaimed, catching his shoulder, "is everything alright?"

But the blonde didn't seem to hear her as he crumbled to the floor, still whining. Takeru, who had instantly kneeled by his brother's side, was called away from him as he recognized his mother's ringtone coming from his breast pocket.

"Mom, I really can't talk right now!" he said hurriedly, still watching Yamato, whose hands were tightly clutching his hair, almost to the point of pulling it out. "Yamato for god's sake, what's happening?"

"Dad's dead!"

Takeru's head instantly snapped to his older brother, his mother completely forgotten on the other end of the line. The surprise was so great that he didn't even take time to process with the information he had just been given.

"Yama!" Taichi scolded, "Don't say such things! You're going to scare Take… Takeru? What's happening? Bad news?"

"How did you know?"

Silence fell onto the room as everyone stared at Takeru's blank face and the way his arm hung loosely by his side, all thoughts of the phone completely forgotten.

"Onii-San… how did you know dad was…" Takeru's voice broke as tears found their way to his cheeks. "Dead?"

But Yamato didn't answer. Instead, he lifted his head to the ceiling and howled.

End of Masaharu.

This chapter is a bit… weird, but I'm experimenting a bit with this new fanfic… so yeah, tell me what you think about it (if someone ever reads this lol)
