So, Love Girl 2001, thank you SO much for all your reviews! Hope you like it!

~*Fateful Destinies*~

Sora's father cleared his throat and straightened his tie, shooting a glance at his daughter's mother.

They hadn't been in touch for a long time…even less then they had been when Sora was still alive.

She was crying so hard that he knew she would never be able to go on with it.

Trying to act as if it didn't really matter, he accepted the worn, leather backed book.

But it was a lie. He did care. His only daughter…only child…gone…

I remember smiling, that long ago day, July 5, 2015, as I watched her prepare to dive into the cool, clear water.

Ironic. Smiling, when I should have known what was to happen. But what could happen, after all, in an Olympic swimming pool? Being watched by hundreds of people? I really thought that there would be someone to save her. If anything happened to her. I mean…what were the chances that Sora…

Sora. The holder of Love. She felt love for everything and everyone around her…her family…her husband, Tai, her friends…the sport of swimming…

I still, to this day, do not understand just how she kept going, after all that had happened…

For God's sake, she had lost her husband, her sister-in-law, her best friend…plus multiple other friends. I really don't know how she kept going as long as she did.

I guess swimming was the one thing that helped her keep her mind off it all.

Sometimes I think that she would have liked to drown herself in her sport…ironic as that must sound…to block out all the pain.

Anyway, there I was, smiling and cheering her on along with what was left of the Digidestined.

She dived off the board, pulling strong stroke after strong stroke, getting nearer to the middle of the pool with every second.

It was there that it happened. Right in the middle of the pool. She went under. From what I could see from where I stood…right up as near as possible to the pool…there was nothing there. Nothing there, holding her under.

But for some reason, she couldn't swim back to the surface.

The other competitors just swam on, probably hoping that with the reigning champion in trouble, that they could win.

Her mother jumped into the pool, frantically trying to reach her daughter before it was too late. I guess she realized the truth a split second before anyone else. But Mrs. Takenouchi was pulled, dripping wet, from the pool.

And Sora was left to fate.

Following is, from my memory, the news report relaying the death of Sora Kamiya, former Digidestined.

~*News report relaying the death of Sora Kamiya, July 6, 2015*~

"…Even though it appears that there was nothing to hold the swimmer under," the news reporter continued, trying to fake a concerned tone of voice.

"What could it have been? Is it possible that she purposely drowned herself to get away from the pain of losing her husband? Find out later on tonight when we talk with Mr. and Mrs. Takenouchi, the parents of the drowned woman."

Angrily, I clicked the television set off.

Drowned herself on purpose? Only I…and the other Digidestined…knew the truth. That it had been fate. Fate that had been written some long ago day, when it had been decided that she would die, here, now, on the 5th of July, 2015.

And I had only one question. What the hell did fate have against us?

HAH-HAH! I WROTE THE NEXT ONE? Amazed? I know *I* am!
