Mirrors
by Ookami no Miko

"You know Yamato, this fight has gone long enough about that girl. You and Taichi are best friends, and best friends don't fight over a girl as furiously as you two," Mr. Ishida said as he placed his jacket on top of the chair. Today, as usual had been rough for him. Looking towards his son, who had been sitting, looking at the window with a furious look, he sighed and shook his head. "You two are like little children. You should give it a break and give Sora her own choice."
If only it were that easy I would do it, but it isn't. We both like her, and we both can't stand losing her over one or the other. "Yeah, dad, that would prove perfect, if only we agreed. You are telling me this, but who knows what Taichi is up to now. He is probably calling her now."
"Well now I wouldn't say that. Sora and her mother went out of town to shop. I really do doubt that Taichi would try anything unless he wished to stalk her. Knowing Taichi, he wouldn't that."
If he were desperate enough he would.. "Yeah, I guess so."
"You should get out, go for fresh air. It would possibly help you out while your stress," Mr Ishida encouraged as he opened the refridgerator. Pulling out some peanut butter and jelly, he kicked the door closed and placed the two jars on the table.
"You sure? I was going to prepare dinner..." Mr Ishida quickly interjected, ever since he remembered Yamato cooking that spicy meat special.
"No no..! It is okay. Go on, get out of here Yamato," he said in a hurried tone and laughed. "I am alright with making myself something to eat." Yamato looked at his father, shrugged, and nodded.
"Well, alright, dad. See you later." Yamato grabbed his jacket, and walked out the door. "I'll be home in a little while, I think I'll go pay a visit to Takeru." He then closed the door, and left. I wonder what my little brother is up to these days. I haven't seen him in a while.

The familiar sounds of the door opening wide, and it slamming shut were heard as always. Taichi had returned home from his outing with Agumon. "Mom, Dad, Hikari, I'm home!" Taichi said proudly as he dropped his jacket on top of Agumon and took him to his and Hikari's room. As soon as they arrived into safety, Taichi locked the door and sighed. "Hey, Hikari, we're back." Silence followed his announcement. "Hikari? You asleep or something?"
"Taichi, she isn't here." Agumon pointed out. "In fact, if she was here, it looks like she was in a hurry. The place is a big mess!" Taichi looked around the room. Indeed the room was covered with clothes scattered around, as well as trash. This isn't right. Hikari does have a tendancy to be messy but this is ridiculous!
"Agumon, something isn't right here. Hikari would never leave a mess like this. There must have been some kind of emergency for her to run off like that." As Taichi examined the room a bit more closely, he then saw something. On top of the bureau, was Hikari's camera. Picking it up, Taichi became worried. Hikari never leaves her camera behind, never!

--

After a long, excruciating rest, Hikari forced to open her eyes once she heard something. Looking in front of her, the room light was on, and in the room.. was Taichi! Struggling to stand up, Hikari banged her fists against the glass wall. "Taichi! Taichi, help me! Get me out of here!" She cried out. Unfortunately, either Taichi was momentarily deaf, or he couldn't see nor hear her. C'mon Taichi, I'm over here, can't you see me?! She saw him looking around the room, seemingly upset. Don't tell me he got in an arguement with Sora again. She then saw it in his hand; her camera! She forgot it! Hikari placed her hand on her chest, not feeling her camera. Then that means, that she doesn't have it either.
"Purr, you're smart. A little too smart for your own good, Hikari Yagami." Hikari jumped, for she was surprised by the familiar voice that she heard.
"..Tailmon?" She asked as she turned around slowly. The digimon that met eyes with her looked the same, but were different as well. Her eyes, so cold and emotionless. And herself in general looked like she had spun in the dryer a little too many times.
"You are mistaken, child of light. I am not Tailmon, I am her opposite, Dark Tailmon. As you can see, this world, everyone is their darkside except for you. Dark Hikari switched with you because she was on the run for her life for disobeying her orders. I don't know what else was on her mind, but it doesn't matter. Since you are Hikari, you shall take her punishment for her." Dark Tailmon explained as she began approaching Hikari slowly.
"N-no.. please.. stop!" Hikari turned to the mirror. "Taichi, help...!"

--

Taichi walked to the door of their room and stepped out to grab the phone. Immediately the first number he dailed was Takeru. I wonder if he has seen her.. Agumon, in the meantime, began picking up some of the mess. I wonder how humans can deal with such clothing. Placing a skirt of Hikari's over his head, he walked over to the mirror to look at himself. Strangely, the reflection of himself wasn't seen. I thought mirrors reflect your image. Strange.. it must be broken. I'll ask Taichi to fix it later. Agumon then turned around, but not before seeing what he thought was.. "Hikari..?" Blinking once, he didn't see her again. "Nah.."

::ring ring!::
Patomon, who was nearest to the phone, picked up the phone with his mouth. He dropped it on the couch, and spoke in it. "Hello? Takaishi residence?"
"Patomon? Hey, Patomon, its Taichi."
"Hey Taichi! What's up? Is Hikari around? She was supposed to call Takeru awhile ago."

--

"... I was going to ask you the same question. She isn't here, and her room is all messed up. She has made no contact with you whatsoever..?" Taichi was surprised by what Patomon said. He sat down on the table, gripping onto the phone tightly. Where is she? Hikari...

--

Takeru, who heard Patomon talking on the phone, quickly walked over and listened to the conversation.
"No, Taichi. Hikari made no contact here at all today. Her room was messed up? That is weird.."
Weird indeed.. she isn't at home nor over here. I hope you aren't in any danger, Hikari! I should go looking for her. Takeru thought worridly as he listened to the phone call.

--

"Yeah, I know. Well if you see her, please call me quickly. Bye!" Taichi hung up the phone. Standing up, he walked to a more comfortable seating; the couch, and sat down again. He clenched the camera tightly in his hand, his face in a very serious expression.

--

Tailmon, who had been running towards Takeru's house, paused for breath, and was ready to continue when she saw Hikari walking down the street. Looks like she is going to Takeru's house. But for some reason, she looks a lot different. I should follow her.. With that decision final, Tailmon slowly began to follow Hikari, unsure whether she was in a better mood or not.

--

Dark Hikari had walked for a long time now. Now she looked up at the apartment where Takeru lived at. With a smirk, she brushed her hair back, and crossed her arms. Suddenly, she felt an absence. Looking down, she finally noted it. "My camera! I left it at home.." Great, Hikari didn't put it on so I don't have it. Good move.. now I will need to make up some stupid story. Unless I can get that hopeful kid fast enough..Takeru is his name? I bet so. Heh.. another D-3 will soon be in my possession.. She walked to the buildings main door. She rang the Takaishi apartment bell and waited. Soon the door unlocked and she walked right in.

--

Tailmon arrived at the apartment building. Using her claws, she began to climb the balcony's up to Takeru's apartment. She landed on it, and watched from an open window. Takeru and Patomon sat and waited in an anxious mood. In silence, she awaited for Hikari to arrive. I want to find out what's wrong with her... Tailmon thought as she narrowed her eyes in curiousity, and suspicion.
