Disclaimers: I do not own digimon so
please don't sue me, I'm only writing this for fun. It belongs to whoever wrote
it and I'm very happy for him 'cause he's got good imagination. :P
My apologies to anybody who was
actually waiting for the next part. LOL (is that possible?) I've got school and
everything (believe it or not I'm in college and I'm turning 18 at the end of
the month…nice Digimon fan I tell ya ^^;). Lots of homework, no time for
myself, so I waited for some holidays to write late. 'Cause it's always better
when I do that, but you don't need to know.
Like I said before it's a KariXT.K
and KenXYolei, so people who don't like those couples read something else. (not
that I'm against you reading my stuff)
Please if you people are nice (and I
know you are), review me!! It's encouraging and helps me continue my work.
Oh yeah, sorry for the Yolei bashing
fan who reviewed me last time, I kind of like Yolei so she's going to stay
alive LOL

"What do you mean she just
disappeared?!" Cody had never seen Ken so worried about something in his life.
He looked even more dangerous then when he was the Digimon Emperor, as if he
was going to eat him or something. Taking a step back, the little DigiDestined
didn't know what he should do or say. All he knew was that a second before she
was next to him and then, gone. Sucked in the big dark fog that surrounded all
the DigitalWorld, he hadn't been able to do anything and felt already bad about
it. He felt helpless and weak, her friend was gone because of him. But it
wasn't a reason, Ken didn't have to yell at him.
"I
thought you were responsible enough to take care of her!!" Cody looked away. He
didn't have any answer to that complaint. Or maybe…he turned to face him with a
challenging look. "Why didn't YOU take care of her then? If you love her so
much, you should have gone with her! She would have been glad to know you care
about her, she likes you very much you." Ken blushed slightly. "Don't change
the subject." Cody snorted. "I'm sure you wouldn't have been able to do
anything either anyway." Ken turned deep red, he was furious, but you could
still see the shyness of Cody's first words in his face. He still tightened his
fists prepared to hit Cody. "I would at least have tried!" Now it was Cody's
turn to be mad, that was a little below the belt.
"Stop!
Both of you! Really, you're acting like a couple of two years old!" They both
turned to look at Kari, who seemed as pissed as they were. She was containing
all of it of course.
Resting
a hand on one of Kari's shoulder, T.K. looked at her with soft eyes. "Don't
worry Kari, I'm sure we'll find her." She looked away, keeping herself from
blushing. Why did she feel so bad around him now? Before it was nothing, they
were always together and had so much fun. But now…now, because of Yolei…she
couldn't stand being so close to him. His hand didn't move as he gave his point
to the others. Concentrating on breathing normally, Kari didn't hear anything.
"Kari,
you'll come with us. Ok?" She looked up surprised and saw T.K. face smiling
down at her. Come on Kari, you can take it. There's nothing different about
the two of you, Yolei was just joking. Get a hold of yourself! She took a
deep breath and smiled back at him. Hiding the urge to blush on the back of her
head, good for her that she could control her feelings like that.
Davis
looked at her with a neutral expression on his face, she was gone. He had lost
her for good now and there was nothing he could do about it. Or so he thought,
but maybe…maybe, he could win her. He had to defeat T.O. or something, anything
that would make her change her mind about him.
He
knew she considered him as a friend and a copy of her own brother, which was
true. They were the same, that's why he always thought he had a chance with
her. She did love her brother very much even if they somewhat fought a lot. But
T.A. was more skilful then he thought. Davis had seen her blush when he put his
hand on her shoulder. It didn't last very long, but he saw it. His heart
twisted.
Cody
and Ken were now ignoring each other. Ken was at the hedge of the bottomless
pit where Yolei had disappeared, but didn't try to get too close to it.
Besides, Wormon wouldn't let him. Hawkmon was next to him smiling, he looked
fine. Actually, Ken couldn't erase the idea that the digimon was too calm,
smiling really. Shouldn't he worry? Yolei was gone! Didn't he care about what
happened to her?
Turning
his attention back to the darkness, the young man tried to forget about the
flying digimon, probably was just his imagination.
That's
when he saw something he didn't want to see. A place he hated so much it made
him freak out all the time he only heard about it. Backing away quickly as his
eyes opened in fear and disbelief, he fell in the little water that was left.
He kept himself from yelling, but the horror could be seen in his reaction.
Kari
and T.K. looked at him after waving to the others who were going to try to find
out why the DigitalWorld was disappearing while they were going to get Yolei
back. Kari kneeled next to him, he had that look on his face. He had had it
several times before, when he would see it. But it was impossible to see it
from here, so why? "Don't tell me you saw it Ken, or I'll scream."
T.K.
didn't understand; he eyed Patamon who seamed as clueless as he was. What
does she mean by it? Is it a digimon or something like that? No…impossible, Ken
wouldn't be afraid of a digimon! "It?" Kari didn't answer T.K. as Ken gave
it for her. "The…it's the…the dark ocean…!!"
No…she
didn't want to hear that, it had to be a lie. She turned around to look at the
darkness in front of her and searched for anything she could recognise.
Praying
that Ken was just imagining things, she stood up and approached it slowly. But
she knew he was right, she could feel it. It was back; the darkness was going
to take her. This time nobody would be able to stop it, she sensed it in her
bones. It had grown much stronger then the last time.
***
Opening her eyes, Yolei didn't
recognise her surroundings, even if it looked familiar. She was on a boat in
the middle a something that looked like an ocean, a very dark ocean. She
tilted her head in realisation, the dark ocean! The one Kari and Ken were so
afraid of. She was in the middle of it?
Looking
around, she tried to find a scrap of land. Anything she could get to, she
didn't like water very much.
Around
her were miles of dark blue waters. Nothing was moving as if it was dead, no
life to be seen, and no digimon. Like in the DigitalWorld, she thought.
It was true that she hadn't seen any when she was walking with Cody. Now that
she thought about it, it was pretty quiet there too. "But still, there was at
least a sun there!", she yelled. Nothing happened.
She
sweat dropped, why did she even think the sun would obey her command? It was
very stupid.
She
sighed, why couldn't she see anything? There had to be something around here, I
mean, maybe the digimon were all here, with her. They probably got all sucked
in wondering what the hell it was. No…digimon weren't as stupid as she was,
then again.
Looking
down in the water, she wasn't surprised that the water was too deep for her to
see anything. Or maybe just too dark…
She
growled as she realised she hadn't moved at all since she had woken up. There
weren't any oar anywhere in the boat either. Did she have to use her hands?
Great, just great. Why did she have to get herself wet, to get to dry place.
Didn't seem very logical in her book.
Oh
well, might as well get on with it. Using her hands, she started moving
forward. Going straight ahead, very slowly but she still did, she searched
around for land. That's when she saw it. How odd, she hadn't spotted it first
and now it was right there in front of her nose, only meters away. She
chuckled, nice situation she was in, and even her eyes were failing her now.
She
saw something else too, something she knew very well : Digimons, lots of
digimons. She had been right after all, they were all there, even Agumon and
the others, she could see them very clearly now.
A
couple of minutes later, she was next to them and trying to get their
attention, they weren't answering at all. Turning around them and trying to
stop them, nothing worked. They kept walking around in circles, as if they were
waiting for something to happen.
Yolei
pouted. "Why does everything have to be dark around here? I mean, am I the only
one who talks, acts normally and as colours here?" No answer, of course.
Putting
her hand of her hips fuming, she hit one mystery digimon on the head. No
reaction. She kicked it. Nothing. Putting one hand on her forehead because she
was getting a headache, she sat down and saw it on her hand.
It
was black, pitch black and was moving fast. It was eating her alive, sucking
the life force out of her. So she thought, her hands were completely grey now
and the virus was making its way up her arm. Trying to rub it off, she ran down to the ocean again and put water on
it. Only to make it far worse then it was before. It got stronger and was now
spreading all over her body. There were spot of dark ink, or what ever it was;
it was the only name she could give it, on her legs, on her chest and in her
face. She could feel it, it was cold, like ice. It didn't hurt at all, but she
felt number as time past. She could still walk a little, but it drained her of
her energy very fast.
When
had she got the disease? Was it when she was on the dark waters trying to get
to shore? Or maybe it was when she hit the digimon… So, the virus was
contagious and she got it when she tried to communicate with somebody? Was the
virus spreading in the DigitalWorld too? Was it because of it that everything
was getting dark?
But…why
did it get worse when she put water on it? Was it the source of the sickness
that was eating her alive?
Stupid
question, probably not… The dark ocean was evil so it helped evil spread, very
logical. It was like trying to get to person with the same personality
together, it would only get very bad. Well, it depended on the person, Tai and
Davis got along very well and so did Ken and Kari. But she was a little like
Davis too and she always fought with him, well…when it was about food actually.
Sighing,
she missed the fight she would have with Davis. It was pretty fun actually…
Shaking
her head she looked around with a look of determination of her face. No, she
would not let it take her over. She had to get out to warn the others, the
virus was spreading to fast for her to even consider depression. "I don't want
Kari and Ken to be afraid anymore, they had their share of bad luck. I will
protect them no matter what!"
Standing
up, she looked around trying to find a way out but she stopped herself. No
wait, things were always appearing when she least expected them to. So
maybe…MAYBE if she tries to think about something else like she did the exit
will appear to her. Wishing she was right with all her might, she sat back
down.
