Dream



Prologue

No, stop! Please.... please stop!
The cries were left unheard as the creature continued to ravage the other children. Ripping into their skin, blood gushing out. The creature turned, grinning evilly at the child watching, helpless.
~Stop....?~
Yes, stop! Please stop, I'll do anything! Please!
~Anything....?~

Koushiro jerked up from the dream, breathing hard. The dream.... that horrible, horrible dream. It kept coming back, every time he fell asleep. Koushiro continued to breath hard as he looked out onto the Digiworld. He held his hand to his face. It came away wet.
Shaking slightly, Koushiro laid down again. It only came once a night, but it was terrifying each time. Horrible and traumatizing... it was as if something was trying to make him go crazy from the fear. Koushiro closed his eyes and willed himself to sleep again...


Part 1

 Yamato Ishida looked across the Digiworld. It was early morning, but the air was warm and pleasant. The sun was especially beautiful in the sky, lighting up the world. This world was a lovely one, not destroyed by pollution, like a few spots in the real world.
Yamato turned as he heard footsteps behind him, and he turned to see Taichi Yagami coming up by him. Yamato's eye's widened, mainly because Taichi wasn't really the one to wake up early. Konnichewa, Taichi-kun. What do you want?
Nothing much, Yamato-kun. Taichi said quietly, looking out onto the landscape. That is pretty.
Yamato raised an eyebrow, his blue eyes curious. That isn't the reason you came up here, Taichi, I know you to well for that.
Taichi shrugged, and then decided to say what he was thinking. Last night... Yamato, last night when I was on guard, Koushiro woke up. He was crying and shaking, I could tell. But he didn't say anything, and he's hiding it.
Yamato looked at the brown-haired boy. But Taichi, we all have nightmares sometimes, and- Yamato was about to continue when Taichi cut him off.
It wasn't like that, Yamato! This was serious, I know! Koushiro's been waking up like that for two weeks straight. Taichi said sharply. Yamato gasped slightly, taken aback. If that was true...
Why hasn't he said anything, then? Yamato asked.
Taichi looked at Yamato with his dark brown eyes. You know Koushiro, Yamato. He won't say anything unless someone else is in immediate danger. He keeps to himself to much.
Both boys fell silent at that line, and they both looked out onto the world. The other Digidestined children were asleep, and the two boys were quiet, as to not awaken them. Quietly, Yamato spoke up again, But if Koushiro is suffering, it's the Digidestined's problem, doesn't he know that?
He doesn't want to bother us, Yamato. Taichi said. He figures that his problem would be a burden. I'm the leader, you know, I have to know how members of our team act. It's my job.
Yamato leaned against a tree, looking into the green leaves. And we all have a job to help you, Taichi-kun. But how are we going to get Koushiro to tell us?
We can't, Yamato. Taichi answered. He has to by himself.

*****

~Exactly what I wanted you to say, child.~ A figure hissed, looking into a shimmering globe at the two children. ~No one will realize the significance of the dreams until it is too late.... no one.~
The figure changed the image in the globe, and then it showed the child Koushiro yet again. He was peaceful at the moment, but that was to change as soon as the next night would fall. ~I get you to sacrifice yourself, little child, I will...~





How do you think it sounds so far? Should I continue?
