Why Me?: Chapter 21
celestial writer: Yea, I am feeling better, I've had a crush on this guy for a while, and I told him, and he said he wasn't sure how he felt about me, butwe're going out on friday! Yea, I actually put in Kouichi's/Duskmon's POV this chap. it was pretty cool.
Yuki's Little Girl: Yea, at least I used to. I don't think 'Marchen Awakens Romance' is on TV anymore, it was a good show though. MAR was awesomesauce. Kia is fine, don't worry. I'm feeling better, I have a date on friday.
Kia: Hiya~ I just want to take this time to say I think you should all check out 'Fail blog' just search it on google. If you don't mind, I have a really funny one for the older people. Google search 'Fail blog commercial fail' and you'll see it. it is wickedly funny, I advise checking out all of fail blog, although some may seem a little offensive to some people so you might want to click 'G-rated only'. I don't ow fail blog, or digimon, but both are wicked awesomesauce!

Kouichi's POV
--
I sighed, the body I'm in isn't my own. The body is different than what I'm used to, but I can't really remember what I am used to. I closed my eyes, the blackness and purple haze sometimes got too disconcerting. It was strange, Cherubimon had changed me into this, and it was like permanently wearing a costume, one that gave you new strength and abilities. A simple difference between this digimon body and a costume with super-powers is that it changes you, clouds your mind, but it doesn't smother you.
Cherubimon was trying to convince a girl into our midst, my mind questioned the thought-- Let alone the action-- But I remained silent. After the initial meeting with her, Cherubimon kept a close eye on her-- Another desicion I did not understand. She was useless, and I couldn't think of a single reason to bring her in. She didn't even have the a spirit, which is what humans need to turn into digimon, further proving her complete uselessness.
"Duskmon." Cherubimon uttered my name, the one I was now accustomed to. I can't remember what my other body was called, nor did it really matter to me. It wasn't essential to me, or even beneficial, so why should I care? I bowed to Cherubimon, showing he had my attention and respect.
"I know what you think. Do not question my actions, they will be clear soon."
"She's useless! She can't even turn into a digimon." I spat. "What good could she serve?"
"In order for the tower to fall, you must take away it's foundation. Her importance is something you need not understand."
"She isn't even important to them, how could they do any worse if we take her away?"
"Kouichi. You yourself were human, you cared deeply for other humans. That same connection applies within these children." I silenced my mouth, and we stared at eachother in silence. Not a word was spoken from Grumblemon, Arbormon, Ranamon, or Mercurimon either. Cherubimon turned to the rest of them. "Do whatever it takes to seperate her from the group again." He said and turned around to head through a portal of sorts to talk to the girl again.

Kia's POV

The bush stopped rustling after a second, so it might have very well been my imagination.
Nonetheless, I backed away from it, fearing the worst possible situation. I stayed on the ground for a few hours, sleeping, until I woke up from a nightmare. It was realistic enough for me to believe it.
"Can you believe how easy it was to leave her?" Zoe laughed in my dream. They were sitting in a stone house, at a table, sipping something that had steam coming from the cup that held it.
"Yea, can you believe how completely annoying she was? I'm sorry I didn't aim for her better than I did as Beetlemon." JP chuckled happily.
"Well it was pretty amusing as she twitched on the ground. Have you seen anything better than that on TV?" Takuya asked cheerily.
"Seriously, what a klutz, you were right Takuya, I could pick a fight better than her. I bet if she tried to pick a fight that she'd wind up dead with one punch!" Tommy yelled happily.
"You guys, she'sright there." Kouji said, pointing directly at my dream self. "Can't you guys wait until we actually get rid of her?"
"Why would we? I don't know her too well, but it sounds like we all want her to leave." A new boy spat, indirectly talking to me. He had short blueberry black hair, and wore a long sleeve maroon shirt underneath a short sleeve green jacket. I didn't recognize him from anywhere, what was he doing here?
"I'm glad you replaced her Kouichi, we were getting ready to hand her to the next passing digimon we saw." Takuya said harshly. "Maybe if we gave her away we could get some money for food."
"Well, it's not like she has any other useful qualities." Kouji scoffed.
I woke up with tears in my eyes, I didn't know who this 'Kouichi' kid was, but he wasn't going to come anywhere near my friends, especially if he was going to make them treat me like that. He couldn't be good news.
I cried until I heard footsteps coming around the curves in the road, so I dove into the bushes and backed away from the road.
I backed up until I saw the purple haze again, and I backed into the rabbit digimon's foot. I gasped and whipped around. The road had vanished, replaced with black.
"Have a good rest?" The digimon asked. I just nodded slowly. "I can help. All you need to do is open yourself to me. I am Cherubimon."
"Open up to you?" I asked.
"Let me see your heart, and I will guide you through the hardships. Kia Yori, I will help you." Cherubimon explained. I wasn't sure I could trust him.
I've wanted someone to tell me that ever since I was old enough to realize how alone I was. 'How could this digimon know that? How could Cherubimon know so much about me? It was probably an estimation.' I thought. 'Then again, he knew my name, and that was a little far-fetched for an estimate to be someone's full name.' I countered against myself. 'True, but Cherubimon's a digimon, who knows what powers he could have.' Two sides of me argued against eachother on whether to trust Cherubimon or not.'What kind of an arguement for trust is that?' I thought stupidly. 'Oh wait, dude, I'm talking to myself in my head. What's worse? The fact that I'm replying.' I thought pathetically and sighed.
"Well?" Cherubimon grinned. "Have you chosen?"
"I need more time to think." I replied apathetically.
"How about that dream?" Cherubimon laughed, and although I had no idea what was funny, I explained it all.

Kouji's POV
--
The Gotsumon had brought us breakfast, and taken the dishes when we finished, but we were all on edge, and nobody ate a whole lot. No one was talking, and it felt pressured. It was strange, they were fine when they traveled without Kia, but now that we all expected her, everyone, even Tommy had become really intense.
"Do you think she's alright?" Zoe asked, once everyone shifted their pleading gazes towards everyone else, mentally shrugging, I started to shift in my seat, and I looked away. "Do you think she'll be mad?" This time Zoe's question was for me specifically.
"Hn." I said quietly, drawing it out to show that I intended to answer. After a while I shrugged. "I don't know about 'mad'. Bu I'm pretty sure 'upset' would be a better description." I finally replied.
"What if she wants to leave us?" Tommy asked, voicing the question that I was sure everyone had been thinking. I honestly had no idea of the consequences of a situation like that. No doubt it would be hell for everyone in the group. Again, everyone looked to me for the answer. I looked back at them and felt just as hopeless as they did. Tommy began crying, but put his head down to try and downplay his tears.
Almost everyone was hiding their eyes now. We all heard Tommy's sniffling through the room, and it was pretty awkward. No one really knew how to help someone when we all felt the same way. Zoe joined Tommy's tear fest, but sniffling less than Tommy. To be honest, I didn't know what to do, we had tried to save the Gotsumon from Gigasmon, but we got our asses kicked, now they're keeping us here.
"When will they let us go?" Tommy asked Takuya. He shrugged hesitantly.
"I don't know Tommy." He said simply. The door opened to reveal the Gotsumon elder. They explained their reasoning for this, how it was to protect their village.
"Let just one of us out!" Zoe cried. "Please, we're all worried about our friend!"
"Can't you understand that it's not possible?" One of the other Gotsumon snapped. He was silenced by the elder, who pointed at Takuya.
"Go, bring her here." He said quietly.
"Look, can't we comp--" JP started.
"Stop!" The elder said to JP. "Go. Before I change my mind." Takuya bolted out the door, running to get Kia.
"If he leaves you, I will not make this bargain again." He explained, before leaving.

Kia's POV

I was laying at the side of the road, the ground underneath my head was a little wet, I had been crying. Cherubimon had explained what my dream was about. I didn't want to think that they all hated me, but it would make a lot of sense. My dry sobs wracked my entire body, and I curled into a ball.
Digimon had been passing me all day, and it was around three o'clock now. No one had stopped, nobody wanted to care. It was as if I was just an oddly shaped leaf. Something to look at as you passed it on the road. Cherubimon had convinced me that I was something useless, at least in my friends eyes.
I stood up, getting ready to walk farther down the road. If they didn't want me, I wasn't about to stick around. I could feel the heavy presence of Cherubimon, following me as I walked on. I couldn't cope with my feelings anymore, so I let them flow freely out my eyes, hoping to feel better.
That night I had the exact same dream as the night before, but this time I woke up screaming.

Timeskip. The next day, Kia's POV
--
I fell to the side of the road crying. I hadn't physically seen Cherubimon at all, but I felt his haze looming over my back. In a little while, I heard a yell from behind me, so I pushed myself up. After I saw Takuya running towards me, I stood up completely. I brushed myself off and took a step towards him before stopping.
Takuya ran up to me, wrapped his arms around my waist, swinging me around. He seemed happy to see me, but I couldn't feel it myself. I felt him move an arm from my waist to the back of my neck, bringing me towards him as he kissed my dirty, bloody, and broken lips. I closed my eyes, squeezing out more tears.
I had the thought 'Hey, I just got my first, honest-to-god kiss.' But then the thought faded along with any thoughts of excitement that it would've given me. Instead it just hurt more and more. I turned around and walked a couple steps, hoping he wouldn't follow me.
"Go away!" I cried at him when I realized he was stalking me. He looked shocked at first, the expression soon changing into the same expression you would get when you kicked a sad puppy dog. I brought my hands up to my face and fell to my knees, sobbing my heart out. He walked over clamly, before placing his hands on my shoulders and kneeling next to me. He came closer as if he wanted to hug me, but I put my hands on his chest to push him away. It wasn't that I didn't want him to hug me, I just didn't want him or any of them around anymore, I didn't want to see them at all.
"Don't say that." Takuya said, hugging me anyways, despite my efforts to push him away. I tried to pull away, but he held me close as I struggled. I moved around enough to push him to the ground, I only needed to loosen his hold on me. In the end, we were both on the ground, him holding my shoulders down and my hands on his chest, trying to push him away.
"Whay shouldn't I? You guys just want me to leave." I argued. I felt my tears slipping down the sides of my face onto the ground.
"Why would we want you to leave?" He demanded, his eyes were watering, but only slightly.
"Because I'm useless! I can't do anything right, and all I do is get in trouble!" I yelled.
"How can you say that?" He said in the same tone, yelling at me.
"How come you can't see it?" I yelled back. "It's so obvious, Takuya!" There was silence as we stared eachother down. Or up, in my case.
"We don't want you to leave, we just. . . Tease. We're only teenagers." He said softly. I could've sworn him and Zoe had switched minds for a second. That sounded like nothing I could imagine him saying. I stared at him for a second.
"I can't deal with that." I said darkly.
"Look, we can stop. I'll get them to stop teasing you, jut, let's go back." Takuya said, taking one hand off my shoulder and offering it to me. Then, I did something I didn't think was a good idea, but I did it anyways.
I pushed Takuya off me and ran away from him as fast as I could.
