Again 5
By: Hotaru
Warnings: This is my first Sorato fic…it's even my first Digimon fic! But I hope it doesn't suck so much that you want to rip your eyes out after you read it…such a pessimist ¬_¬
Takes place when the Digidestined are in their early twenties…I guess Takeru and Kari are late teens then? Yeah…here goes! The song is Again by Lenny Kravitz
~*~*~*~*~*~Monday Evening~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yamato, Taichi and Takeru were heading down to Daisuke's house in hopes to find him there, and Hikari on her way home. "You don't think..that something coulda happened to them..do you?" Takeru asked no on in particular. None of them wanted to think the worst, but they couldn't help but think something bad has happened. "Come on now Takeru, they only walked together. And Daisuke knows better than to hurt Hikari. Just think positive!" Taichi said. Yamato put his hand on Takeru's shoulder and nodded.
They arrived at Daisuke's apartment complex a short while later. "His last name is Motomiya, right?" Takeru asked. Yamato and Taichi nodded and walked to Daisuke's apartment. "Here goes nothing.." Yamato said, knocking three times on the door. A short while later, Ms. Motomiya appeared at the door. "Oh, hello boys. Please come in." she stepped back and allowed the three Digidestined into her home. "I'll get Daisuke and Hikari." She said, bustling away.
The three sighed a breathe of relief. A short while later, both Daisuke and Hikari appeared looking a little surprised. "Hikari, thank God!" Takeru exclaimed, hopping off the couch and pulling Hikari into his arms. "We were worried about ya kiddo." Taichi said, slightly glaring at Daisuke. Ms. Motomiya seemed to disappear into the kitchen and allowed the group to talk. "We're sorry we worried you. Daisuke and I needed to talk and clear things up, that's all." Hikari said, sitting next to Takeru and holding his hand tightly.
"That's good. So…things are okay?" Taichi asked. Daisuke still hadn't said a word. He looked upwards and stared at Taichi will cold, angry eyes. His eyes shifted to Takeru for a moment, just a moment, and that was the scariest moment of Takeru's life. "Hikari, we better get home before mom worries. Come on." Taichi said, glancing on last time at Daisuke before leaving as quickly as possible.
Once they were all outside, the three boys shuttered. "I don't know about you guys, but I think Daisuke looked pretty pissed." Yamato said, shoving his hands into his pockets. Takeru nodded. "Yeah…he seemed not like himself. Just what happened in there Hikari?" he asked. "Well…Taichi was being a jerk and told Daisuke off, so I went after him to make sure he was okay. We just walked for awhile and didn't speak. But then when we arrived at his house…he broke down. He just started crying and shaking…"
"I didn't know what to do so I just stayed there and waited until he spoke. Finally, he told me that he..he…loves me. And that he didn't care if I was with Takeru or anything. He said he'll never stop…" Takeru wrapped his arm around Hikari's shoulders and pulled her into him. "He scared me guys…when he said he'll never stop, there was this fire in his eyes…it scared me…" Taichi crossed his arms. "Well we'll make sure that he stays away from you. There's always restraining orders." He said.
Yamato glanced at his watch. It was already eleven thirty. "Ah Takeru, we better hurry home before mom gets upset." He warned. Takeru nodded. "Ok, we'll be right with you." He said, walking a few feet behind Taichi and Yamato. "So tomorrow's the big day huh?" Taichi said, kicking a pebble with the toe of his shoe. Yamato nodded. "Yep. I just hope she shows." He said, fidgiting slightly. The two stopped and turned around to see a goodbye kiss between Hikari and Takeru. Both boys smiled wistfully. Takeru waved to Hikari before running to Taichi and Yamato.
"I'll see you guys later. See ya!" Taichi said, heading towards his apartment complex. Yamato and Takeru waved briefly before running to catch the train. The night was warm and the sky was clear. A perfect night. "I hope it's this nice in the Digital World tomorrow." Yamato said, thinking aloud. He hadn't noticed that Takeru drifted off and was slowly leaning towards him. Yamato sighed and looked back up at the stars. A few minutes later he could hear the screeching of the train.
"Yo, Takeru, wake up..train's here." Yamato said, shaking his brother. "Huh? Oh, right." Takeru mumbled. They boarded the train and flopped into the orange plastic chairs. There were two other passangers on the train. Takeru drifted off to sleep again and Yamato just watched the scenery go by.
*~*~*~*Tuesday Morning, 9:15*~*~*~*
"Yamato! Wake up!!"
Yamato cracked open his eyes and winced at the sunlight pouring into his room. "What?" He muttered, rolling onto his side. "It's 9:15! Hurry, get up!" Takeru said, pulling Yamato out of bed by his foot. Yamato looked at his alarm clock and cursed under his breath. "Goddammit! I'm gonna be late!" he exclaimed, jumping into the shower. "You already are late!" Takeru reported. Yamato nearly flew out of the bathroom and pulled on his usual attire, ripped up jeans and a black tank top.
"Come on, open it!" Yamato exclaimed, standing in front of his computer. Takeru handed Yamato his guitar. "Calm down, you're a nervous wreck. Okay, ready?" Yamato nodded. "Digi-port open!"
=====In the Digital World=====
A few days prior, Yamato had given Sora the coordinates of where they would meet. A nice place by the lake with a few trees and no pesky Digimon. Yamato arrived at the location and was surprised to see that Sora was not there. "Hm…I guess she's running late." He mused, sitting down in front of a large boulder. Yamato must have drifted off, because when he woke up, the sky was an orangish color and Sora had arrived.
"Hi. Nice nap?" Sora asked, sitting down on a small tree stump. Yamato rubbed his eyes. "You just got here?" he asked. Sora nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm sorry I got here so late. Me and Mimi were out shopping and by the time we got home it was already a quarter to nine." Yamato nodded. "That's ok. At least you're here right?" he asked. Sora nodded. There was a moments silence before Yamato picked up his guitar. "I guess I'll play it now…ready?" he asked nervously. Sora nodded and put her hands in her lap.
Taking a deep, shaky breath, Yamato began the song:
I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I never had a yearning quite like this before
Now that you are walking right through my door
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Or take your crown, never
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I've searched through time, I've always known
That you were there, upon your throne
A lonely queen, without her king
I've longed for you, my love forever
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
Yamato closed his eyes and let his fingers rest upon the strings of his guitar, and waited….
