{flashback}

(Willis' p.o.v.)

I quickly ran over to my younger twin to see that he was awake and in complete shock. I looked up to see the car trying to get away and quickly ran after the car. I distinctly felt a surge of power course through my veins and it gave me the boost I needed to catch the car. I jumped and underestimated the strength in my legs for I flew a good few feet into the air. I also am quite the genius but a bit lesser than Take-chan.

"Willis! Takeru's going into cardiac arrest!" I heard Pata scream and brought myself down to land on the hood of the car. I looked into the eyes of the man and watched as his eyes rolled into his head. I quickly ran back and placed my palm onto his chest. I glanced towards his face and saw a small smile on his lips. 'I guess I have no choice but to let you in then. To be able to see "them" you must drink some of my blood just as Pata did.' He spoke telepathically to me and I nodded. I lifted his broken wrist and gently licked some of the blood off so as no to aggravate the wounds.

"Willis. You are the child of Miracles and I know now that you truly are destined to be the one to save Hope from his Despair." Pata said as I turned to see the ambulance arrive no doubt I called them and don't recall a thing. I blame the adrenaline because now I feel all weak and nauseated.

"Can… I come to?" I asked the paramedic a bit to timid for my liking. He nodded and helped me in once I gathered our belongings. On the way I just held Take-chan's hand and Pata on my lap he whole time. When we arrived to the hospital I sensed some sort of nostalgia and could not understand as to why there was some here? I have never been to this hospital but my brother was… so that may explain it. A doctor waved his hand before my face and smiled reassuringly before taking me to see my little brother. It took all the will power I could muster to not vomit and run away screaming.

"i-is h-he goin' to be… alright?" I asked and the next thing I knew everything went black and I woke up to feel someone holding onto me and singing a sad song.

"Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight

Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight

And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight

Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight

And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight

Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close

And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning… please be okay nii-chan." (Lullaby for a stormy night by Vienna teng) I opened my eyes to find my head on Take-chan's lap. Bandages all over him and his gaze looking so pained and sad. So much longing and hurt, in those crystal azure colored eyes. I rubbed his cheek and saw a slight flush appear on his cheeks but he did not turn away as he had been when his parents got divorced. I was glad that I could see that warm smile of his that always seemed to brighten my day.

"Takeru, I am so glad that you are smiling at me again. And also you owe 3000 yen for both our past 11 years." I said and earned a small giggle from him, I was just trying to lighten the mood. And I was also serious, not that I would tell him out loud. That song he used to sing to me when it rained because I was always afraid of the it used to be I that was the one that comforted but somehow he ended up always taking care of me. Somehow the roles were reversed and I always run to him. But who does he have to run to now that the one he was to turn to is the one seeking help?

"Takeru I don't understand how it is that only you have to deal with this… this-"

"Burden? Because it is my pain, my right as being the keeper of Hope. I am the sole purpose that the digital world has ever thrived. And why it hurts and begins to deteriorate as do I. the reason that dark master and Owikawa were able to distort it was because of my feelings so I learned to not only everyone else but myself.. so that an innocent world won't have to hurt. Just don't let the… welcome digidestined." He said smiling as the door opened o reveal the shocked faces of the destined. I got up and looked at each and everyone one of them.

"I thought that you were always supposed to protect your younger siblings Yamato. Wasn't that the number one rule that you were given by Nadia?" I asked him as Take-chan's guardian angel presented her self to everyone. She held Take-chan as he began to cry from the bottled up emotions thanks to her. She always was able to make him stop hiding.

"Shh, now everything will be alright my child. I am here to protect you. Little child be not afraid the rain pounds hard against the glass like unwanted stranger, there is no danger. I'm here tonight." I smiled and then turned to the destined and glared at them.

"Why do you treat him this way? Why do you let him suffer alone and not bother to even help him out?" I asked as he calmed down and just lay down with his head on Nadia's lap. The others shuffled nervously and I felt my heart speed up and heard the heart monitor speed up with Take-chan's. My whole body began to burn and I could feel a burning desire to rip everything apart with my bare hands.

"With the Hope of Miracles I send the creatures of the dark to the land of shadows… and the Hope of light to put the seal back…on." Take-chan whispered painfully and collapsed onto the bed with fatigue. The feeling went away just as easily as It had come with those words. This must be "them" or at least I think it is. They are about 9' ft tall with glowing red eyes and fangs. They have robes that are torn and old looking but the one thing that creeps me out is the fact that they have no face only eyes. I looked at Pata who nodded as if to answer the question on the tip of my tongue.

"What was that all about?" Yamato asked as he clutched onto the door frame in fear. 'Wow my reaction was much calmer than his. How sad.' I thought as I figured why he saw "them" because he probably stopped the bleeding on Take-chan's wounds when he was younger.

"That was "them" that you just saw. The very same that Takeru has been fighting to protect you from and yet you still shun him. He is the very reason that all your efforts to protect the digital world has stayed protected. "The youngest will defeat the evil that shall arise." Wasn't that part of the first prophecy?" I asked them some of the younger ones fidgeted including Hikari Kamiya. The older ones just looked away in shame. Who knew I was as good as my beloved Take-chan at giving a go how I used to say it when he talked to bullies that bothered me "Venom Spit" how I used to cringe when I heard his cold voice threaten the bullies and then laugh when they ran away screaming like girls.

"I miss the little boy who always had a reason to smile at the world. The little boy who was never affected by anything until the life that was taken by using his hands. The little boy who had no blood on his hands, unstained by you all." I spoke sullenly as I sat beside him on the bed and watched Nadia wipe away some tears that escaped while he heard much little speech.

"Together we will stop the forces that plague you Hope. Miracles will forever be the guardian to your heart."
