A/N: Do I really need a disclaimer after all this? Its not like I own anything.

It's Been Awhile

The twelve-year-old awoke to the sound of an alarm. She rolled off her bed and fell a few feet off her bunk bed on to the hardwood floor with a loud thunk. After a long groan, the girl picked herself up and got dressed in all black.

It's been awhile since I could, hold my head up high

It's been awhile since I first saw you

It's been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again

And it's been awhile since I could call you

Everything I can't remember

This f**ked up as it all may seem

Consequences that are rendered

I've stretched myself beyond my means

The girl left her apartment and walked down the street to a flower shop where her friend Sora worked. Without saying anything, Sora gave her a single flower and the two left the store, both clad in black. The girls walked a few blocks to an open field with trees and many stones.

It's been awhile since I could say, that I wasn't addicted and

It's been awhile, since I could say I love myself as well and

It's been awhile, since I've gone and f**ked things up, just like I always do

And it's been awhile, but all that s**t seems to disappear when I'm with you

Everything I can't remember

This f**ked as it all may seem

Consequences that I've rendered

I've gone to f**k things up again, yeah

At the graveyard, the two girls were met with eight other kids, minus the two in the earth. Everyone placed things like flowers and cards they had given. But Koushiro placed two different items on the headstones. Both were small gold hexagonal trinkets. One had an orange sun on it, the other a blue ying-yang on it. On the headstones it read, Taichi "Tai" Yagami November 23rd 1986-May 5th 2001 "Goggle Boy" Yamato "Matt" Ishida February 2nd 1987-May 5th 2001 "The Cold One"

Why must I feel this way?

Just make this go away

Just one more peaceful day

It's been awhile, since I could, look at myself straight

And it's been awhile since I could, since I said I'm sorry

And it's been awhile, since I've seen the way, the candles light your face

And it's been awhile, but I can still remember the way you taste.

And everything I can't remember

This f**ked up as it all may seem to be, I know this pain

Cannot blame this on my father

He did the best he could for me

It's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high

And It's been awhile since I've said I'm sorry

Just then, it started to rain, like that day one year ago, it started to rain. The eight kids left the cemetery, leaving the fallen boys to rest once more.
