Chapter 2:
A few hours later, Makoto finds himself alone in his room and in bed. Closing his eyes, he realizes that he may not sleep tonight.
Every time I close my eyes, I see Kira and Cale in the kitchen. Except, they're not just talking. He touching her and she's trying to get away from him.
Rolling over, Makoto sighs and sits up in bed. Pushing back the covers, he swings his legs over the edge and stands up. Walking over to the window, he pushes back the curtains and looks outside. Focusing his eyes on the lake, Makoto watches the moon light shine on the surface of the water.
…...
In the Netherrealm, Badamon calls forth some of the spirits that serve him. Examining those who heard his call and responded, Badamon searches for a particular type of spirit. Smiling when he spots one of the darker blue spirits, Badamon raises his hands.
"Spirit of Sadness, come forth and heed my command," calls Badamon.
Hearing the command of the spirit king, the dark blue spirit floats toward Badamon.
"You will go to the land of the mortals. You will find the child known as Makoto Mouri. You will join your spirit with his and you will increase the child's despair," commands Badamon. "The boy feels he is to blame for pains suffered by a friend. Increase these feelings."
Nodding its head, the Spirit of Sadness turns away from its master and begins the process for entering the Mortal Realm.
"He will not know love or happiness. Join with him and let him feel the despair that only a Spirit of Sadness can give. When you are done, let him know death at his own hands," says Badamon, as the spirit leaves.
…...
Turning away from the window, Makoto stares at the bed. Behind him, the Spirit of Sadness has found his home and is floating outside of his window.
Maybe Nami is right. Maybe there was nothing I could do, thinks the boy as he walks toward his bed.
Shaking his head, the boy slips back into his bed. Glancing toward the window, Makoto eyes widen as he sees the spirit pass through the window and enter his room.
"What?" he says, as the Spirit of Sadness moves toward him.
Opening its mouth, the spirit begins to chant.
"No!" cries the boy, jumping out of the bed and rushing to the door.
Stuck from behind, Makoto feels the spirit crawl into his body. Falling to the ground, the boy glows blue for a moment, then the light fades. Picking himself off the floor, the boy known as Makoto turns back to his bed. Walking over to his bed, Makoto sits down. Placing his legs on the bed, he slips them under the covers and lays down. Closing his eyes, Makoto glows blue once more before he falls asleep.
…...
Jerking awake as if from a bad dream, Nami stares around her room.
"Makoto?" she calls.
