"Don't make me hurt you, Hikari. I really don't want to," Dark Tailmon hissed out as she reached out her paw for her to come. "I will make the punishment more lenient since your are innocent." Hikari shook her head and wouldn't move. "How can I trust you?" She would ask angrily. "How do I know you won't kill me if I go?" Dark Tailmon would shake her head and persist. "I wouldn't kill you, never. We don't kill people here, Hikari. Everyone here is a shadow of their real self in the light world. If we killed, both would die. We just put them through the torture of suffering their weakness enough to teach them a lesson. Dark Hikari's weakness is purified light, you know. Your weakness is darkness, which is why you are so afraid here. I won't make you suffer, just come with me..."
For some reason, Hikari believed Dark Tailmon. I don't think she would lie.. Standing up, she nodded. "I'll.. go with you. But aren't you going to search for Dark Hikari?" She asked as Dark Tailmon took the lead to the city. Dark Tailmon wouldn't answer her question. She is a lot nicer than Dark Hikari. It is always true that people are either nicer or darker in the real world. I can keep her here forever.. I just don't know how long. Glancing back, Dark Tailmon noticed that Hikari was looking around in the views of this world. "There is nothing much to see, Hikari." She purred out. "It is just the same world.. only in negativity." She is the child of light. The darkness would soon overwhelm her.. and kill her. If only it were possible..

The doorbell would ring. Jumping to his feet, Takeru answered the bell. "Yes? Takaishi residence?"
"It's me, Takeru. Hikari! Can you open up the front door?"
Hikari! Where has she been?! Takeru pushed the button, then would open the door from his apartment so he could meet her.
--
With a smug grin on her face, Dark Hikari entered the apartment building. Walking up the stairs, she thought of a good plan. Hikari has feelings for him.. so I guess what I can do is express them for her. Won't she be glad! Maybe I can even draw her to one of the mirrors so she can see. I can then snag his crest... She would chuckle deviously, before reaching the same floor. There, Takeru would see her. Dark Hikari changed her grin to a soft smile, and her eyes would widen. "Takeru!" She called, running to him. Quickly, she opened her arms to embrace him.
--
As he was about to say something to greet Hikari, he was found embracing her in his arms. His face would flush in that of a pink colour. "Hey, Hikari-chan!" He would greet finally, looking down at her. Dark Hikari glanced at him with glittery eyes. "Is something wrong, Hikari? Are you alright?"
"I am alright.. Takeru.. I just missed you! I haven't seen you in awhile." Takeru blinked. Wow.. I guess a day apart from her really hurts her.. "I'm sorry that I didn't see you yesterday, I was busy. You're here though at least. We can spend time together!" He reassured her. Dark Hikari smiled, a dark, evil smile. "Time together...I would love that.."

Tailmon watched in silence for a good few minutes. Seeing Takeru outside now with Dark Hikari, she immediately knocked on the window. Patomon.. come on.. open up! Almost as if he could read her mind, Patomon looked up and saw Tailmon. Immediately, he flew up and pushed open the window. "Hey Tailmon!" He would greet his partner in a friendly manner. As Tailmon jumped into the living room, she breathed a sigh. "Hey Patomon," she would say in an exhausted voice.
"Something wrong? I've never seen you like this before.." Patomon asked curiously. Tailmon would nod her head. "It's Hikari... she's not normal.. something is wrong with her.."
--
"Any luck?" Agumon asked as Taichi returned into the room. He had by now removed Hikari's skirt from her head. With downcast eyes, Taichi shook his head. "No. Takeru said he hadn't seen her at all."
"Maybe you shouldn't worry so much. I believe she is old enough to take care of herself. Don't forget, Tailmon is with her."
"You're right, Agumon. I am just worrying over nothing, I guess." Taichi sat down on the bed and groaned. "But the thing is..." He would reach for his digivice.
"What is it..?"
"The digivice doesn't sense her at all..."
--
"That's it.. I am going to do it!" Daisuke finally got up and walked to the phone.
"Okay, what are you up to, Daisuke?" Daisuke would overhear as he picked up the phone. With an inward groan, he turned around. Just perfect.. Jun.. "I am going to use the phone, Jun. Unless that is a crime to do with you." Jun would roll her eyes as she approached him.
"Actually, I was planning to use the phone. You usually don't have a use for the phone.. unless..," Jun paused, her eyes suddenly turning all sparkly, "...does my little brother have a giiirrrlllfriiieennd?" Her mocking speech turned Daisuke's cheeks a deep flush of red. Veemon looked on from the bedroom, snickering at the embarrasing scene. Those two sure have a healthy relationship! Veemon thought. His expression then turned serious. I hope Dai can pull it off, though I still wish I didn't tell him..
"No, I don't have a girlfriend, Jun! Can you leave me alone?" Daisuke would finally protest. Jun, again, rolled her eyes. "Well, your big mouth can say something, but the look on your face says something else. I'll leave you alone Daisuke. Ciao!" Jun took a walk back into her room. Daisuke relaxed his tenseness as he turned the phone on. Don't fear it.. just dial.. The numbers would come on in correctly, and it would ring. "Got it..!"

Yamato had gotten off the bus on the other side of the city. Looking around, he felt strangely uncomfortable. Something doesn't feel right here.. Pulling his jacket closer to him, and zipping it, he put his hands in his pockets and continued his walk to Takeru's house. This is strange, how come when I come closer to mom's apartment.. it gets colder? Yamato would soon shiver at the sudden uneasiness that plagued him. I don't like it.. I should get going.. He then broke into a run, hurrying to find out what could have caused him such coldness.
--
*ring ring!*
Taichi jumped up from the bed and rushed to meet the telephone. Picking it up, he quickly put it to his ear. "Hikari?! That you..?"
"Taichi?"
"Daisuke? ... Sorry.. I thought you were H--..."
"What's going on, Taichi?! What's happened?!" Taichi pulled the phone at Daisuke sudden outburst and blinked.
--
The silence after he asked Taichi what happened bothered him. The grip on his phone tightened. "..Taichi?" Veemon, who had been listening from the room, peeked out. Hm.. I wonder what is going on..
--
"Takeru.." Dark Hikari lowered her eyes. Something started to overcome her then. Bothering her, but she refused to show it. Instead, she acted as if she wanted to say something. Takeru looked at her with concern. First she was talkative.. now she is just plain.. quiet.
"Hikari? What's wrong?" Dark Hikari listened to his words of comfort and winced. Did she really want to hurt this young man? He was so innocent and kind, but her dream.. Take over the two worlds.. I should not allow my feelings to stop it! "...Come here with me.." Dark Hikari said finally, leading him inside, past the living room, and towards his room. ".. I have something I need to talk to you about.."
