A Reflection Of Darkness
Chapter 1. Noises And Visions
Disclaimer: Well, the sad truth is that I don't own Digimon, so don't sue me! This is my first non-humor attempt at fan fiction. In other words, it sucks! But if you decide to review it you'll make me a very happy authoress! Oh and by the way, this is a Kekari (Ken and Kari couple fic) so please don't flame me if you really don't like this couple, because you can't say I didn't warn you! I should also mention that this is set 2 years after the defeat of Malomyotismon , thus making Ken and Kari both 14 years old.
"Kenny, dinner's ready! Why don't you come sit with us at the table?" Ken sighed and got up off his bed, leaving his room. 'Why do they do this to me?' He hurriedly ate his supper that his parents made and helped with the dishes before escaping back into his bedroom. That being the only freedom from the daily drudgeries of his so called life.
He made his way over to the bed and sat down, glancing at a small, framed photo that was displayed on his nightstand. Ken picked it up and looked into the familiar faces of his friends. The picture had been taken last summer on a casual trip to the Digital World. In the very middle of the photo stood Davis, with Veemon standing in front of him. A huge self- confident grin plastered on his face.
'But that's just like him,' Ken thought 'the pinnacle of confidence.'
Ken's eyes moved over to Davis' left where T.K. stood, his bat big digimon Patamon sitting on his head like a hat. Standing beside T.K. was (not surprisingly) Kari, with Gatomon in her arms. On the other side of Davis Ken's focus stopped. There he was, holding his digimon partner Wormmon and a small smile playing on the corners of his mouth. 'That had been a fun summer.' Next to Ken in the photo was Yolie. One of her arms flung around Ken in what was supposed to be a friendly gesture. Over the past year Ken and Yolie's friendship had been an interesting one to say the least! It mainly consisted of Yolie pursuing Ken and him being too afraid of losing a friend to tell her he wasn't interested. Of course that had all ended when a new boy in school had started to take an active fascination with Yolie. Somehow Ken's mind seemed to wander back to the photo still resting in his hands and he continued to look at the digidestineds and their digimon. In front of Yolie stood her digimon Hawkmon, apparently very unimpressed at the idea of having his picture taken. Sitting in front of everyone cross- legged was Cody. They had all agreed that he would look too short if he stood up. Right beside Cody was his digimon Armadillomon, in a deep slumber. A hint of a smile lit up Ken's features when he finished looking at the picture. 'Man, I have weird friends, cool but weird!' He then placed the photo back on his nightstand and lay back onto his bed. 'At least I have good friends.' "But are you sure?" Questioned a cold, raspy voice. Ken sat bolt upright on his bed and turned his head slowly to look around the room for the origin of the voice. "Who said that?" Ken finally asked after gathering his nerve. Then he just shook his head, "I'm imagining voices now." He mumbled, more to convince himself of it as he reached down to the foot of his bed and picked up the sleeping form of Minomon, his digimon at In-Training level. Setting Minomon beside his pillow, Ken got under the covers and soon drifted off into quiet sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who are you? What do you want with me?" The dark shadow continued to loom over her menacingly. "Why child, it is because of you that I am here. Surly you already knew that." The shadow spoke with an eerie tone, not unlike a quiet monotone to be precise. Only this one would chill even the very bravest to the bone. The girl faltered. "I.., I don't know what you're talking about." "If you would be less sanctimonious, even you would realize that I am a living essence in everyone." The shadow's victim started to panic at this last statement. She spun around on her heal looking for a quick escape, yet only to be met by the surrounding darkness of the cavern and no exit in sight. "You're a horrible monster!" She finally screamed, backing up against the charcoal black wall of her prison. "Oh, a monster am I? Then I must be in good standing company, as even the likes of you have a terrible dimness inside their very being, just waiting to be embraced!" The girl just stood transfixed to the spot where she was. "No, that's not true at all! You're a liar, and a bad one if that!" 'I need to get out of here! I'm going to die if I don't!'
"Kari!" Yelled out a familiar voice within the depths of the cave.
"Who said that?" Just then her surroundings started to blur, as if misted over and suddenly disappeared. Kari blinked, once then twice. It took her a moment to get a grip on reality and recognize her older brother Tai standing over her.
He looked at her somewhat alarmed, before breaking into an explanation. "You looked like you were having a really bad dream so I decided to wake you." "Thanks Tai." And she meant it, as it wasn't every night you had a dream so vivid, so dark. "Well, you better get some sleep, it's 12:43 and you've got school tomorrow." He said matter-of-factly before heading back to bed himself. 'It was just a bad dream. If you think about something else it won't bother you again.' Kari managed to calm her nerves by thinking that to herself while fixing her covers and snuggling closer to her digimon Gatomon. Who was unperturbed by Kari's restless sleep.
'It won't happen again, so pretend it never happened'
And those were the last thoughts that ran through Kari's head before she fell into a much-needed slumber.
