Crest of Sanctity
Prologue/Author's Notes
Okay, this is something I must say or you might not know:
1) This story is set just
after the Blackwargreymon arc.
2) The Destiny/Holy Stones
are just as important.
3) I'm using the original names
for the Digidestined but not other things (there are too friggin' many)
4) The new 'ally' is
someone the digiwarriors know quite well…guess who!
Simple, ne? I'll also use some Japanese words that'll be explained
later
Also I want to give a little about two new characters.
Lililandra (Lili, Liliko) Aishou
11
Lililandra is originally from Laverly,MD in the US. She is currently staying with here father who moved
back to his ancestral country after the death of her mother. She has long black
hair, honey eyes and chestnut brown skin (her mother was African-American).
Lililandra was named so because she has been sickly since birth. Lili (Lily)-
represents the fragility of her body and landra- from her aunt Sandra who,
against all odds, fought cancer for 10 years.
Genkyo Tamafuri
24
Genkyo is Lililandra's aid/caregiver. He was hired by Mr. Aishou to
make sure that Lili was well cared for while at school or when he was out on
business. He is tall with platinum hair and a very pale complexion despite his
exposure to the sun. Not only does he stand out because of his age in Lili's
classes but no one, not even Lili has seen his eyes…

Prologue
"Chase
that which cannot be attained
Only
dreamnt of from afar
Light
and Hope fall far short
By
the powers that be
Open
the path engraved by Sanctity!"
-Lillilandra
//I wonder what she dreams
of.// Genkyo sat beside the bed of the child he was hired to care for. //Is it
her past? Her wishes and desires? The future? Me? Now who's dreaming?//
It was around lunch
time Saturday and he had just made her lunch, grilled chicken with veggies and
rice and a dash of soy sauce. He knew she missed the dishes that her mother
made for her in America, baked chicken, stews of beef and potatoes, apple pie,
and most of all lime Jello with whipped cream.
She'd grown accustom to Japanese life in the past 7
months but was delighted to know that Gen spoke fluent English. She called him
Gen-chan and he called her Liliko. She liked that especially since when school
started her teachers and classmates found Lililandra quite hard to pronounce.
It always came out Rli-Rli-Rlan-Da-Rla , Rli-Rli-Rlan-De-Rla, or Rli-Rli-Rlan-Du-Rla.
"Konnichi wa Liliko. Sleep well?"
"Aa…demo,
I had a dream." Her tiny voice squeaked. Genkyo drew in a breath.
"What kind?"
"The only kind I ever remember. I was inside this
temple and surrounded by a white light. I saw you only…not with sunglasses.
Your eyes aren't normal are they?"
Gen tensed. //Do you know? Can you sense it lil' one?
That I am not as I appear?// He smiled at her and she beamed back.
"Onegai…Gen-chan…what color are your eyes?" she
insisted.
"My eyes… are the color of sunset."
"Crimson…" she touched his face. "What are you?"
"I do not know." He sighed. "Why so interested?"
"The 'you' in my dream was a man w/ white hair and
crimson eyes."
Genkyo had often wondered about his existence. //Why
do I exist? Is being Liliko's caregiver punishment for past life sins? Desiring
what is forbidden?// In his apartment was a sketchbook, several in fact, filled
with pictures of the 11 year old girl from America. Mr. Aishou could ever see
it, his employer'd think he was some sort of pervert. Nothing indecent,
drawings of her smile, her doing ikebana, and even the ones he'd done of her in
peaceful repose. Why was he so obsessed with the earthen skined angel?
Yes obsessed. She was what he thought of, dreamed of…
god it was insanity!!! How could a child unable to be left alone for fear of
her health captivate a man in his 20's? He held her when she was sad and lonely
from her dreams that were never happy at all. Stayed by her side when the other
children ignored her…
"MINE!!!!"
screamed Miyako and Daisuke. They fought over the last cracker.
The two of them fought until they watched it fall into
Ken's lap…
"Ulp!" Ken squeaked. " Guys… NO! Don't look at me like
that!"
GLOMP! Two sugar crazed bodies lept onto Kindness
still vying for the cookie.
"…uh…" Ken moaned as Daisuke's groping hands touched
him. Everyone, including Iori who was across the room stopped to see Ken
blushing.
"I've never heard that sound before Ken…" Leafmon
commented.
"Dude… are you like horny or sumpthin'?" Daisuke
inquired.
"Get… off…me…" he groaned slightly annoyed.
"Or get…you…off…" Taichi glanced a Yamato who was the
only elder digidestined on the room. Also the only one who understood.
"ARGH!" Ken foisted his teammates off of him. "You two
have major hormone problems!!!" he yelled at Taichi.
"Uh, yeah. Anyways guys, we're dealing with two
enemies here. Both dead set on destroying the digiworld. Arukinimon and the one
controlling her." Iori cleared his throat. "If we don't stop them we're all
toast."
"But how Iori? Even when we Jorgess… he kicks our
tails." Gatomon sighed.
"Koushiro sent me an email last night. It's a legend
that talks about a great evil…a new ally…a new crest…pretty standard prophecy
stuff. But the 'ally' is supposed to be someone we were familiar with. The
crest is Sanctity."
"Hey! It's that American girl. Where's your
bodyguard?" laughed a girl in Lillilandra's class. Her name was Pinku, yeah the
color.
"What have I ever done to you Pinku? Why do you make
fun of me like that?"
"Because baka, you're so damn prissy all the time.
You'll never make friends if you stay stuck up. Besides, that guy you're always
hanging on is wayyy too old for you."
Such cruel words. Lili wasn't prissy at all! She did
keep to herself because of the first days when she did talk and a few laughed
because of her voice or her Japanese. She hated being so dependant on Genkyo.
Even though it was his job, she felt she was robbing him of his life to carry
on her miserable existence.
She hated herself, having no real self confidence or
true courage, she'd almost cried when Pinku spoke. She did care for Genkyo
but…to her, he was an angel and she was his shackle.
//Oh, auntie Sandra, I am your namesake but do not
possess your strength.//
//Be patient lil' one,
you have yet to know your true power. I will guard you even beyond the time the
path becomes clear. You are forever engraved upon my undeserving heart…Holy
One…// Genkyo smiled at the small child on the verge of tears.
