Breathe 4 : Out of the Shadows
(Matt's POV)
It's night time.. I took a glance at my watch. 1 hour. What is taking Sora so long?!! She should have been back by now. With Mimi.. I grabbed a small broken piece of branch near Gabumon's sleeping form and studied it carefully.
"Don't worry Matt.." I turned around and saw T.K.'s face.
"Huh? T.K?... Why should I worry?" trying to remain in my cool state.
"You're worried that something's wrong with Mimi right?"
Crack! I broke the branch. What T.K. said startled me.
"I'm right aren't I?" he said casually.
"Hmm...." I looked at the ground not wanting T.K. to see my face.
"Listen Matt, it's ok.. We're all worried about her.." The voice of my little brother continued. His voice have deepened over the years. "Mimi seemed to have changed. Maybe the Digiworld have changed her.. But she's still pretty cool.. But I can't help but think if something in the past is bugging her. My first guess was Palmon, but it looks like it's more than that... I only wish I knew what it is that's bugging her. I can read her expressions. She's like my own sister if I think about it. She's pretty special to all of us... If she's special to you too Matt, and you're that worried maybe you should go look for her... I would.. But I'm on watch while everyone is sleeping."
I took a moment of silence, fiddling with the hem of my shirt. I guess T.K. was expecting me to say something, but I'm not sure what to say... Once I respond, I'll probably sound dumb or like T.K. I can't help but think that T.K. is more mature than I am.
I brought myself up to a standing position and said to him the only decent thing that I could probably say at that odd moment but I still avoided eye contact with T.K.. "You're right... Thanks lil' bro."
I turned my back to T.K. and went on my way. He's right, she is special to me.. Maybe more than that.
I just wish I would've figured that out sooner...
"Maybe you should bring Gabumon," T.K. suggested.
"Nah.. I'll be fine.."
This is something I have to do on my own.
(Omniscient P.O.V.)
"Mimi!! Sora!!" Matt shouted.
He continued on his hardly visible path. The only source of light there, the moonlight, is mostly blocked by the tall trees surrounding him.
"HELLO?!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He's been searching for more than a half an hour ut still no sign from Mimi or Sora. Ok, now he's really worried.
He was about to continue on his search until a hand tapped his back causing him to jump back a bit. He turned around and discovered Sora's face. He sighed.
"Oh. Sora!" he said. "I was worried so I went to look for you.."
"You did?!" Sora said as her face lightened up.
"Ehm.... Yeah... And Mimi..."
Sora's smile turned upside down.
"Oh.. Well.. I.. I haven't seen her either!"
"You haven't?!"
"Um... I.."
"Maybe you should head back to camp. I'll take over.."
"Um... Then.. I'll come with you!"
"No. You need rest. We have a big day ahead of us."
Sora was speechless, thinking of something else to say so that he wouldn't go.
As Matt was going to go on his way Sora quickly grabbed his wrist.
"Sora", he said as he was struggling to break his arm free. "I have to go!"
"Why?!!!" She yelled as tears started to hang on the corner of her eye. "What if you get hurt?!"
"What if Mimi gets hurt?!" He yelled back. "I can't go back now, not knowing if she's safe or not!"
"What does she mean to you?!"
Matt looked sternly at her in the eye. "She's a part of the team! We need her!"
"But you might get hurt!! What if we loose you too!! Is it worth the risk?!"
"If it means risking for Mimi, yes."
Sora was once again speechless, and she felt her grip on Matt's wrist loosened.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."
With that, she watched Matt dissapear into the shadows.
"Shit", she slowly cursed under her breath making a fist as a dark aura surrounded her. "I won't let him go so easily.."
And with that she slowly folowed him.
