Always Left Out

Prologue: Unwanted Hatred

By Salamon2

Salamon: Ahem...

Salamon2: Well?

Salamon: HMPH!  I won't say it!

Salamon2: Good... and yes folks, as you can guess she found out about the plot...

Salamon: And he made me swear that I won't ruin it for you...

Salamon2: And Patamon is ready to take her place as Disclaimer any time she says one piece of the plot!

Salamon: Wait... I already told him about it... after all it does concern...

Salamon2 pulls a lever and she falls through a trap door: Good... okay, I know I'm going to regret this but, come out Agumon...

Agumon appears: Why and what would you dread?

Salamon2: Just like I thought... just like Tai

Agumon: And that's a problem because?

Salamon2: Big Mouth... (Pulls lever) okay let me try again... come on down... Palmon

Palmon appears: Hi!  Salamon2 doesn't own Digimon!

Salamon2: Perfect... why didn't I try her from the start?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            The word Digidestined had always seemed like a privilege to him, never a burden or a regret to be one, never, until now.  "Oh why? Oh why did I have to look tonight?" said the young blond.  Now hatred started to take root in his soul, he couldn't help it.  The hatred was too strong, he didn't want to hate, but he was; now he hated himself for hating.  Memories of hatred, once repressed, now hit him, with such force that his soul felt wounded, and he thought that he should have all seen it coming, leading to this.

            Flashback to Five years prior

            "T.K.!" shouted Matt

            "Yes Matt?" asked the young eight year old blonde

            "The older kids and I are going to look for some supplies... you are going to tend to the fire..." said the older blonde

            "But... What about Kari?  Why is she going with you?" asked T.K. but Matt never answered, because he didn't hear his sibling's question, he had been suddenly asked a question of someone older (Sora), and of more importance, now thought T.K. who at the time thought that his brother hadn't cared.  T.K. now knew that both the former and the latter were true.  But now back to the flashback.

            "What was that T.K.?" asked Matt after he had answered Sora's quick question

            "Oh... nothing..." said T.K. who then sat down on a log looking at the slowly dieing fire.  The group had left immediately the second T.K. had sat down.

            "If they want to get rid of me, then why didn't they tell me outright?" thought T.K.  The fire died out once T.K. had ran out of kindling and fuel, with the warmth of the fire slowly being replaced with the cool of the night, the young blonde slowly fell asleep, with a tear flowing down his cheek.  It had been sunset when the group had left, it was now two in the morning, and T.K. had eaten nothing, since there was nothing to eat.

            Unknownest to T.K., there was a fire, only a mile and a half away, slowly dieing, the rest of the group, asleep and stomachs full, save one, Tai, who was on lookout duty.

END FLASHBACK

T.K. was on the couch in his apartment, his once cheerful blue eyes; his eyes now were dull and looked greyer now.

"And now to the Local News... A tragic murder took place on Sakura Drive in upper Tamachi, early this morning, killing a young woman and her unborn child.  The family is grief stricken and had no comment to any reports.  In Shibuya today construction on the Shibuya playground ended.   It is expected to be in full operation by noon tomorrow.  And now from me, Toan Tameko, this is... wait... this just in!  Recent reports from Odaiba confirm that Ishida Yammato's band, the Teenage Wolves (A/N: That's what I heard the name was last I heard...), will perform its last concert tomorrow night so that the leader can spend more time with his family.  And now from me, Toan Tameko, this is Good Night Tokyo News Program saying Good Night!" and T.K. turned off the program.  His mom was away in Sapporo (A/N: For all those that do not know, that is a real city in Japan), on the island of Hokkaido, north of Honshu, researching a story for her newspaper for three weeks.  The summer air was very cool, and T.K. felt hot against it.

"Yeah right Matt won't..." thought the blonde

Flashback to Two years prior

"T.K.?" asked a brown haired girl about the same age as he.

"Yes?" asked the blonde

"Do you think we'll ever defeat the Emperor?" asked the girl

"Why do you doubt Kari?" asked T.K. noticing her tone of her voice

"It just seems like it's going on forever... and we're not going to win..." said Kari

"DON'T START TALKING LIKE THAT!" said T.K. who all of a sudden shook Kari after grabbing her shoulders.  And then he continued "Don't ever despair, we'll beat him... we have to..." he said hugging her, she refrained from responding because she was still shocked that T.K. had yelled at her, but suddenly it dawned on her why and she hugged him back.

"Thank you T.K... I needed to hear that..." said Kari

End of Flashback

            "Now look at me..." thought T.K. looking into the mirror noticing his depressed soul and duller, less entergetic eyes.
