Note: Minna-san, I was listening to various types of music around 5:30 AM. Currently it is about 1:30 in the afternoon. I have a lot of inspiration, so I decided to type out a fic. Eh, the first anime that came to my mind was Digimon. So... this shall be Digimon. It will be a Takari with implied Daikari sort of story. I don't know if I will continue after this, it depends if people like it or not. I hope it is liked. ^.^

"This is the day, Veemon. I am going to ask Hikari if she will go to the movies with me!" Daisuke exclaimed proudly, his hands drawn into fists. He stood in his room, wearing a pair of jeans and a teal blue t-shirt. A grin was pasted on his face, when inside, he was extremely nervous.
"Daisuke, if you are ready to ask her, then why are your knees shaking? You told me when a guy's knees are shaking they aren't ready to ask a girl on a date," Veemon pointed out as he sat down on the bed. The blue digimon swung his legs to and fro from the edge of the bed, while his hand was pointed at Daisuke's legs. Daisuke looked down and sighed. Walking over to Veemon, he sat down next to him and placed his head in his hands.
"Oh, I don't know. She seems to have more interest in Takeru than me. I am not going to give up though! It is just.. I like her so much, but I can't seem to bring myself to tell her how much I feel for her. She is a kind girl, who obviously knows that I have a crush on her." Veemon glanced at his partner and blinked. He jumped off the bed and grinned.
"Well, maybe you shouldn't be so obvious. I mean, you talk about how you want to be with her and how you want to kiss her and such. I suggest if you want to have a chance with her, be a little more quiet. She is teasing you." Daisuke looked down at Veemon and blinked.
"What do you mean, she is teasing me? And how do you know this Veemon?" He demanded to know. He picked up his digimon and stared straight into his eyes. "Tell me, please?" Daisuke had a pleading look on his face. No comedy, nothing. Veemon was actually worried about him. Tailmon told me not to tell, but look at him. I am getting worried about Daisuke these days. Should I tell him that Hikari actually may like him? Or should I keep it quiet..? Veemon sighed and did one slow blink before reacting.
"Tailmon told me. That is all she told me."
"Tailmon.. I wonder if she knows more.." Daisuke said more to himself than to Veemon. He placed Veemon down on the floor, before laying back on the bed.
"No! I mean, that is all she knows..." Veemon sputtered, knowing he made a mistake. Veemon, you idiot!
"Well, hopefully I'll find out how she really feels.." Daisuke mumbled. He stared at the ceiling, and sighed. He closed his eyes, and in his mind, Hikari lingered.

"Why are you walking around in circles, Takeru?" Patomon watched from the couch. "It is hard watching you do it. I am getting dizzy." Takeru paced around the living room, his eyes glancing towards the phone. He sighed and stopped.
"It's Hikari. She was supposed to call me at 2:30," he explained, while looking at the clock. It was now almost 4:00. It isn't like her to be late for a simple phone call. What's going on? I would call her if Taichi and Yamato weren't at war. Geez, those two take it rather serious when it comes to Sora. I just don't want to get involved.
"Why don't you call her?" Patomon suggested. Takeru shook his head.
"No way. I don't want Taichi to pick up and yell at me!"
"Takeru.."
"Yeah?"
"Agumon told me that he and Taichi were going to be out all day. To spend some quality digimon/partner time together. You knew it too. You are just scared to call her." Patomon shook his head as he explained. Takeru stared a bit at Patomon, and sweatdropped. Eh... how did he remember?! I really do underestimate the memory of a digimon..
"I am not scared to call her. It is just.. well, she was supposed to call me."
"It won't hurt to call."
Takeru noted that. "True. I guess," he looked at the phone, and walked over to it,"I will call her." Hesitantly, he picked up the phone and dialed Hikari's number. Sitting next to Patomon on the couch, he waited as the phone rang.

"Hello, you have reached the Yamato residence. I am sorry, we are not available at the moment. Please leave a message and we shall get back to you soon. Bye!"
::beep::
"Hello, Hikari? I see you either aren't home or busy. Did you forget to call me? I don't mind if you did or just didn't feel like it. Well.. um.. call me okay? See you later! Takeru."
Sitting on the couch, Tailmon stared at the floor in silence. Her ears drooped, and her tail didn't move around in the air like usual. Stifling a sniffle, she listened to Takeru's message. I think I might want to talk to Takeru later.. Tailmon glanced to the door being Hikari's and Taichi's room. It was shut tightly, and locked. Something is not right with Hikari.. Cleaning out her eyes, Tailmon jumped off of the couch and dashed over to the door. She knocked on it gently, and braced for the cruel demand.
"What is it?!"
"Hikari..."
"Tailmon, leave me alone! I don't want to be bothered.."
"Yes, Hikari..," Tailmon sniffled before running to a nearby window. I need to see him now. Maybe he can find out what's wrong with her. I hope so.. Upon opening it, Tailmon jumped out the window, and began jumping onto ledges, beginning her run to Takeru's house.

"Well, that was easy to get rid of that annoying feline," that familiar voice sneered evilly. Looking towards the mirror, she walked over to it, seeing her own reflection. "I am sure you enjoyed that little performance, Hikari." She laughed. Hikari, who was on the other side of the mirror, banged her fists at her prison, her eyes wide, with tears forming at their edges.
"Let me out! You aren't me. How dare you do that to Tailmon?!" Hikari demanded angrily. Hikari's reflection, or in other words, Dark Hikari, just smirked, and shook her head. Her distinct difference being her having no pins holding her hair back. Dark Hikari's hair was free, and moving smoothly at each movement of her head.
"You see, my dear Hikari. I am your opposite self, I will do anything I want to do. They are usually the opposite of what you feel, say, or do. Slowly I will destroy the life you grew to love, before finally I destroy you. You should have predicted this, and be cautious. Your dreams warned you long enough, but I guess you favored them less than your happy life." Hikari remained silent, her mind remembering her dreams slowly. Each one being a warning to steer clear of the mirror when alone. I was so stupid, to not have listened to my dreams. I used to listen to them, and they saved my life before. I just was too absentminded to even listen to them now.. "Hikari dear, awaken from your daydream now."
"What do you want? Haven't you harmed me enough?" Hikari muttered loudly while she looked away.
"You may want to take a look at what I have here..," Dark Hikari said, as she held up Hikari's D-3. Hikari looked up and gasped. No, my D-3! "Ah, I see I got your attention now. Good, good." Dark Hikari smirked. "You see, without this, you are powerless. This way, I will ensure you won't try to bring me back to my world. You can sit there for a good while. Just to make sure you heed my warning.." Dark Hikari raised her hand, and an energy of darkness appeared. Hikari stared at it, her fear building. Suddenly the darkness hit the mirror, going through it, and engulfing Hikari. Hikari cried out in pain as she felt the overwhelming power try to drown her. Suddenly, it left her, swallowinfg some of her energy. Collapsing to the ground, she took in shaky breaths and stared at Dark Hikari.
"How did you.. do that?"
"You are light, I am the opposite, so I am darkness. Darkness overwhelms light, so I can weaken you and even kill you with my power." Dark Hikari explained, her voice monotone. She then turned around to the door, not before grabbing a pair of sunglasses.
"Where are.. you going?"
"I am going to pay a visit to a certain hopeful boy. I am sure you know him. I'll be back.." Dark Hikari opened the door and headed out, closing the door. The room suddenly collapsed into certain darkness. Hikari stared at the door from her prison, before staring at the ground. Takeru... no! Oh Takeru... I hope you will be safe.. Hikari thought fearfully before closing her eyes and passing out. A dark laughter echoed all the way to her room from the hallway as Dark Hikari left the apartment.
