~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was rummaging through her stuff again today. I can't help it, ya know. We were friends for practically forever and when we finally got together, it was for only a short time. I loved her, no wait, I still love her. Hikari was the light of my life, literally. It seems like only yesterday that we were together, laughing and having a grand old time. I had given her a rose the last night she was alive, and that's what I had found. It was long dead of course, but it had died the moment Hikari did. Ironic, no? I had kept it to remind myself of my love. The last night we were together we had just won a talent show that we had dedicated to my brother and his girlfriend Mimi. By the way, they're married now. Anyway we were walking together, doing all this romantic and mushy stuff. At the time, my friends had been telling me that I shouldn't be so mushy at my age and that I should act like a man, but I can't remember a time when I was happier. As we were walking, putting it simply, this guy just ran her down. He was apparently drunk. Hikari had been badly injured and she died that night in my arms. I'm not sure what else happened that night. Maybe I was too shocked to remember, or maybe it's a repressed memory, or in other words, something I didn't want to remember. I ended up picking up Hikari in my arms and just walking, to where, I didn't know. It must have been strange for the people on the street to see two twelve year olds, one dead and the other carrying her body. I ended up at 'our spot', the spot where the digidestined would always meet in the park. Hikari and I called it 'our spot' because that was where we had our fondest memories with our digimon. Of course then we were seeing them everyday, but that's beside the point. There, with my love still in my arms I sat and cried, my tears mixing with Hikari's blood, still seeping from her dead body. I don't know how long I was there but eventually Taichi and Yamato must have gone out looking for us, because they found me there, still crying. I remember Taichi falling to his knees as he saw his sister. He took her from me and just cried, the same as I had done. It was weird seeing Taichi cry, because the only other time I had seen him cry was in the digiworld when Datamon had kidnapped Sora, so long ago. Yamato was in shock as well, but his big brother nature was too profound and he enveloped me in a huge hug, whispering to me that it was going to be okay and asking what had happened. I couldn't tell them yet, I was speechless with shock. Yamato had then called the hospital with his cell phone, then Hikari's parents. They were all there in minutes. I sat there as the ambulance took Hikari's body away. I ended up telling Yamato, Taichi, and Hikari's parents just what had happened, that a drunk driver hit Hikari. I just happened to leave out the part where she pushed me away from the car. I don't know why I did, I guess it was because I felt guilty, and I didn't want to feel that way. Taichi went nuts when he heard my explanation. He was screaming and ranting and it took Yamato and a few ambulance guys to hold him back. To hold him back from what? From me, of course. I remember the conversation well.
"How could you do this?! How could you not protect her! You promised to protect her Takeru, you promised! This is all your fault!" Taichi had yelled, tears were still streaming down his face. Yamato had started to yell at him, telling him that it was as hard on me as it was on him, but I had him stop. As I started to talk fresh tears were streaming down my face as well.
"Taichi, she pushed me away from the car! She pushed me! She wanted to have me live so much that she sacrificed herself! How do you think I feel? It's my fault she died. I was in front of the car, I was going to die! Hikari saved me, Taichi, she saved me. I would be the one dead now if it weren't for her. She did this for me and I love h…h…" I couldn't get the rest out, my voice was choked up. I had looked at Taichi for his response to see that he had gone limp and the people holding him let him fall to the floor. I heard him mumbling something like 'saved him… brave sister…' but I'm not sure. Yamato had rushed over to me to hug me again, so hard this time that I couldn't breath. I guess it didn't strike him that I could've died, he was really shook up. The rest of the night was full of police reports. The guy who ran Hikari down ended up turning himself in the next day. He was terribly upset, but not as upset as we were. He ended up giving Taichi's family $1,000,000 to try and 'make up what happened without going to court' as he said. He didn't know that nothing could put light back in our lives. The next day Taichi and I gave bad news to the other digidestined. Daisuke still hasn't forgiven me for killing his 'dear Hikari' but, whatever. Mimi, Sora, and Miyako had taken the news extremely hard, they had been best friends with Hikari. I also remember seeing Koushiro show real emotion in all the time I had known him. He actually looked up from his computer and started to cry. Jyou was the exact same way. Iori was incredibly scared by the whole thing, but he was only 8. The hardest thing to do was to break the news to Gatomon. She wouldn't believe me at first, thinking it was a sick joke. But when Yamato came into the room and was crying she knew it was real, Yamato doesn't cry easily. Gatomon had just fallen down and the tears started streaming from her eyes. The digivice that the ambulance guys gave me that belonged to Hikari started to glow and all of a sudden in Gatomon's place was a digi-egg, which disappeared almost immediately. Patamon and Veemon was heart broken, they both loved her. The funeral was the worst part of the whole ideal for me. All of Hikari's friends and family, not counting the digidestined (excluding Daisuke) and their parents, were staring at me, blaming me without words. It was awful. When they put her body in the ground I broke down again. It was like making it final, making her death final. I couldn't stand it. After the burial everyone but I left, even Taichi and his parents left me alone for a second. I read Hikari's tombstone:
"Hikari Yagami. 1988-2001" On the bottom was a drawing of the crest of light and a quote;
"A light has gone out in our soul that can never shine again." It was ironic how some quote that was pulled out of nowhere could fit exactly what I was feeling at that very moment. I had felt as if every fiber of my being was in the dark. No longer was Hikari's light there to guide me. I felt scared and alone, even with all my friends to be there for me. I still do feel that way. It's been 50 years after the fateful day where Hikari's life ended. Sometimes I feel as if my light has gone away with her. Everyone else has moved on in some way or another. I already told you how Yamato and Mimi are married, they have one daughter named Lily and a son Joshua. Yamato's band was world famous, and Mimi sang part time with it also. They did duets sometimes. Now they're too old, but the money they made set them and their family for three lifetimes. Taichi and Sora are also married, and they have one daughter named Hikari. It's funny, their little girl seems to like me more then she does Taichi. They were both professional soccer players, until they retired when Hikari was born. They also have tons of money, how lucky. Koushiro is engaged to this girl named Stephanie, whom he started dating after his wife left him in 2032 and he completely took over this company run by somebody called Bill Gates, whoever that is. Jyou is dating this lady named Susan after his late wife died in 2027. He's also a very prominent doctor. Daisuke, like I said, still hasn't forgiven me. He's dating Ken. Who would've thought? I keep wondering why he's mad at me for killing his, as he said, 'first and only love' yet he also says he's in love with Ken. That guy is incredibly screwed up…Iori is a teacher of the art of well, art. I always thought he was kinda quiet… but I guess that was the artist within. Miyako is a teacher also, she works in the same school as Iori. She teaches computers. But me, I can't move on, I just can't. Sure, I went to collage, I got a job, but I'm not the same. I'm 62 years old and I haven't had a girlfriend since I was 12. I'm pathetic. I sighed as I continued to look through all of Hikari's old things. There was her camera and pictures, her jewelry, and of course all of her clothing. I was looking through the box of pictures when I came upon something I've never seen before. It was this pink book with the crest of light emblazoned on it. On the top, in Hikari's beautiful script was written 'Diary'. I was surprised. I had no idea why I had never noticed this among all the pictures of digidestined/digimon. I started to open it and read, but stopped at the last minute. It felt wrong to read Hikari's private thoughts, even if she's been dead for 50 years. I sat there, for like 20 minutes staring at the diary before my curiosity got the better of me. I picked it up and before reading, I whispered one simple phrase
"Please forgive me Kari-chan." I turned to the first page and noticed the date, two days before she died. I guess she started with her diary late or something. I settled down in my old rocking chair and started to read.

Hikari's Diary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Diary,
It's two days before the talent show. Takeru and I sound great together. It's like God picked our voices knowing that one day we would sing together. It's going to be a wonderful surprise for Yamato and Mimi, I can't wait to see their reaction! Daisuke is still ignoring Takeru and I. Geez, can't he get a life? I know he likes me and everything, but still, it's just a crush. Besides, I think he's gonna get together with Ken. Sure, that would make him gay, but it's obvious that he likes him and vise versa. You think Takeru and I should hook them up? I think so. Maybe I'll ask Takeru tomorrow… NEwayz… we went to the digiworld today. Nothing special happened. All we did was help Elecmon with rebuilding Primary Village, no biggie. Dairy, I know this may sound weird, but I feel like something bad is gonna happen. Ya know what I mean? I felt this way the day that Taichi and the others were pulled into the digital world, but now, I just can't shake it, I'm worried. Oh well, whatever happens, Takeru will protect me. He's so sweet!! Well, TTYL!!
-Hikari
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was crying again. She thought I was gonna save her… she believed in me… and I let her down. I was gonna put the diary down then, just put it away and never look back but as I was setting it down a gust of wind turned the page. I looked, and the window was closed. I got a sudden chill but I picked up the diary and started reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Diary,
Guess what? Taichi finally asked Sora out!! I'm SOOO happy for them! When she told me the news, guess what I said? 'It's about time!!' ::giggle:: It's so true though, they've hinted about it long enough! Well, I got Daisuke to talk to me today, but that was only when he responded to me telling him that his hair was on fire, which it was! I swear! So what if Takeru 'accidentally' started it? Daisuke was fine anyway! Actually, it was pretty funny. Even DemiVeemon was laughing. ::sigh:: Dairy? Do you remember when I told you about that weird feeling that I had where something was gonna go wrong? Well, all I can say is that it's getting stronger…
-Hikari
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I laughed as I read about the fire incident. The truth was Hikari and I did the whole thing on purpose to get him talking to us again. Unfortunately, it didn't work, and Taichi was pretty mad that we burned his old goggles. I turned the page and I realized that this was the day that Hikari died. These were her thoughts and feelings on that very day. I started to read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Diary,
Guess what? Takeru and I won the talent show! Isn't that awesome! We were great just as I predicted, and Yamato and Mimi were so touched! And Takeru said he was always gonna be there for me!! OMG, isn't that sweet?! I'm really excited now, can't you tell? The only thing that's worrying me is that feeling that I keep having. Something's gonna happen tonight, I just know it. ::sigh:: Well Diary, I g2g! Yamato and Mimi are taking Takeru and I out to dinner to celebrate and I need to get ready! Bye!!
-Hikari
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I gasped as I put the diary down, still open. "I never knew, she never told me that she knew something was gonna happen. I know she got those sort of feelings when something was gonna happen, due to her light, and if she told me we could've prevented it, could've stopped it! It's all my fault.." I spoke aloud.
"Takeru…" I heard, and I went crazy looking for who said it. I knew nobody was there, the house was locked! Although, the voice sounded strangely familiar, but something I haven't heard in a while.
"Takeru honey, it's not your fault." The voice spoke again, this time coming from right in front of me. I turned and suddenly there was Hikari. She was standing there, just as beautiful as I remember.
"I must be going crazy…" I said, to which Hikari laughed. I forgot how beautiful and carefree her laugh was.
"No Takeru honey, you're not crazy, or dreaming either. I'm here." I couldn't believe it. The ghost of my soulmate was standing in my den talking to me. It couldn't be real. But, I spoke anyway.
"Kari-chan… I've missed you…"
"And I you Takeru-san… and I you." Hikari's ghost came over to me and looked me straight in the eye. "Takeru, what happened, it wasn't your fault. I'm the one the chose to push you out of the path, and I want you to know that nobody but Daisuke blames you." I laughed when she mentioned Daisuke, as she got this strange 'what a weirdo' look on her face. Kari smiled, leaned over, and kissed me. I closed my eyes and kissed back. To anyone else, it looked like a 12-year-old girl locked in a passionate kiss with her grandfather, but I knew otherwise. I was kissing my love, my soulmate, and I was happier then I had been for a long time. When I opened my eyes I was suddenly 12 years old again. I was floating like Hikari, and I looked down to see my 62-year-old body still in the rocking chair, seemingly asleep.
"It's time Takeru", Hikari said, and from that moment I knew that I joined my love in the beyond. Suddenly, Patamon materialized next to me, and Gatomon next to Hikari. The two embraced just like we had just done. I smiled at the touching scene, and looked to Hikari, whom had her hand outstretched. I took it, and embraced Hikari as we floated up to the sky. I looked one last look at my old house as it drifted away and I floated up to the only place where Hikari and I could truly be together for the rest of eternity, heaven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, that sucked… big time. I'm praying that this story gets the same kind of reviews as the other one… cause nobody seems to review my fics! ::sniffle:: And note… I AM NOT, in any way, a Takeru or Hikari basher… just thought you'd like to know… Email me at CrystalYumi@aol.com or Izzy_kunschica@hotmail.com to send me comments. Thank ya!

I was kissing my love, my soulmate, and I was happier then I had been for a long time. When I opened my eyes I was suddenly 12 years old again. I was floating like Hikari, and I looked down to see my 62-year-old body still in the rocking chair, seemingly asleep.
"It's time Takeru", Hikari said, and from that moment I knew that I joined my love in the beyond. Suddenly, Patamon materialized next to me, and Gatomon next to Hikari. The two embraced just like we had just done. I smiled at the touching scene, and looked to Hikari, whom had her hand outstretched. I took it, and embraced Hikari as we floated up to the sky. I looked one last look at my old house as it drifted away and I floated up to the only place where Hikari and I could truly be together for the rest of eternity, heaven.

Okay, that sucked… big time. I'm praying that this story gets the same kind of reviews as the other one… cause nobody seems to review my fics! ::sniffle:: And note… I AM NOT, in any way, a Takeru or Hikari basher… just thought you'd like to know… Email me at CrystalYumi@aol.com or Izzy_kunschica@hotmail.com to send me comments. Thank ya!
