Ok this is my first (and probably last) authors note thing. Well this fic is strange, But aren't they all? It is an attempted (Keep in mind I said attempted) Lain/digimon fic. It probably will turn out nothing like ether of them, but oh well. I don't own any characters (Well Duh!) if anyone goes through Fan Fiction looking for a disclaimer, they seriously need a life. Besides isn't this promoting shows?
This is a Koushiro fic and basically the first fic I have written in Taito. Joe is about 17, Matt is 16, Sora, Mimi and Tai are 15, Izzy is 14 and Kari and TK are 12.
No flames please, I am trying to cut down my intake ^.^ don't ask. With this fic I just might be able to get Mrs. Macdonald off my back. A good advantage of letting teachers reading my work, it seriously freaks them out and they become scared of me (Hehehe).
I will tell you now. Ahem, I am very sorry if I offend any of your religions or anything like that and if you don't accept my apology, then to damn bad!! (Or you could flame me in your review, but may I suggest you not leave your E-Mail ^.^)
Well I know this was a short authors note but who's counting. Let the fic begin;)
Layer-01: Meeting of the first half:
"Koushiro, you're going to be late for school again!" Izzy's mother said tapping on the door.
"WHAT!!! Why didn't you wake me up?" The boy said rushing frantically around his room, tripping over everything on the floor.
"I tried to wake you about every two minutes, but you kept on mumbling something about needing more time, and some computer thing, I couldn't understand any of it" His mother said still waiting at the closed door, listening to her son's fumbling and thumping.
At that Izzy froze "What was I saying?.............Mom?" He got no answer from the other side of the door. Koushiro stood silently looking at the door waiting for an answer that never came. He stood there in the sunlight from the window, his jeans held up only by his hand and his plaid shirt half buttoned up. He waited with his hair uncombed and his eyes wide, as they usually were when he was curious, scared, or anxious, right now he was all three. "Mom, are you all right?" he asked in a cautious tone, reaching for the doorknob with his free hand. He turned the knob carefully and slowly, he opened the door and peaked around it to see the room down the hall, which was his dad's work room. He saw the familiar, faint glow of his fathers Navi, fill the room and half the white hall. He heard quiet mumbling, one voice was deep, he assumed it was his fathers, the other was a bit higher, most likely his mothers "I didn't even hear her leave" The boy said, his mouth small, and his eyes still wide. He shrugged his shoulders, as he slid quietly into his room. He pulled up his pants and buttoned up the rest of his shirt.
"KOUSHIRO IZUMI!!!!!!" Izzys teacher yelled angrily, waving his arms around like a crazed lunatic. "This is the second time this week, how are you going to be ready for the spelling contest if this keeps up, I might just have to get another candidate!" Mr. Miwou said as Izzy sank into his uncomfortable chair "There are plenty of good students who would love to take your place"
"I know, I know. I wont be late for school again" The boy said, looking around the room for some way out of a lecture. All he could see was bored students, some making paper airplanes, some drooped over their desk as if it was a comfortable position, Izzy had tried it only resulting in a combat with the chair to get back upright.
It was summer and nobody wanted to be in school, today was an especially hot, there wasn't even a breeze to cool them down. Izzy was the only one not in shorts and a tank top, everyone thought he was nuts, but most of his friends knew why he wore warm clothes. Izzy was always cold, no matter what happened, he was always cold, on these days, he would allow himself to wear a T-shirt.
"IZUMI ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?" Mr. Miwou yelled seeing the dazed, far of look, in Izzys half closed eyes "Maybe I should get another candidate." He said thinking to himself, as Izzy pulled at his hair. "But then.........." The teacher continued.
Izzy slammed his hands on the desk angrily, making it quiver under the force "FINE THEN GET ANOTHER DAMN CANDIDATE, I NEVER EVEN SIGNED UP FOR THE STUPID SPELLING B IN THE FIRST PLACE" He stared into the teachers confused, and frightened eyes, burning with anger.
Koushiro stopped, his eyes softened, reaching into his bag he caught a glimpse of a frightened face, and it was not the teacher, it was one of his class mates, sitting as far away from Izzy as he possibly could get. 'What could I have possibly done to deserve that look, the only one I yelled at was the teacher' Izzy thought grabbing a small technical note passer, which was called N.P. Seeing his hand he realized why his class mate had been so frightened of him, his hand was black with soot, as was the desk. He could see steam rising off of the desk where his hands were. He fumbled with the beeping N.P, but to no avail, the mechanical thing dropped to the floor with a crack, Izzy sat staring at the piece of metal on the patterned floor, sweat beads dripped down his frightened face and dropped onto the floor, beside the N.P. He began breathing heavily, his heart pounding in his chest, he picked up the N.P and bolted for the door grabbing his bag on the way out. He slammed the door shut behind him and ran towards the school's main entrance.
The principal blocked the stair way once Izzy had gotten there and the boy froze 'What, I didn't have a dream but this already happened, he's not supposed to be there, how does he know' Izzys thoughts blocked his mind from comprehending anything, he ran for the printable. The man stood, firmly in place. Izzy could think of only one way to get past the stern man. He jumped and landed with a thud on the railing. He smiled, knowing nothing else could stop him, as he slid down the banister and flew through the doors.
Through closed eyes Izzy could see the tree above him and the squirrels scattering across its branches.
"Hey Izzy, what are you doing here?" Asked a confused voice. Koushiro looked up and saw the bushy brown hair of his friend, Taichi Yagami.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean its still school time and your out here"
"Well you're out here too"
"Yea but....."
"But nothing, I have just as mush a right to be out here as you do" The boy said closing his eyes and leaning back.
"Ok, well at least this time I have a friend with me" Tai said sitting beside Izzy.
"What do you mean?" The small boy said keeping his eyes closed and his back half on the ground, half leaning on the tree.
"Oh I always come out here when I get sent to the office and when I think Mr. Edvy has calmed down I go back and slip in without him even noticing" Taichi said putting his hands behind his head and closing his eyes. "So why are you out here?"
"I got pissed of at the teacher"
"What, did he think 2+2 equaled 22"
"Hehe, you could say that."
"Hey what are you guys doing here?" another voice asked.
"I was sent to the principles office" Taichi said without looking up, knowing it was Yamato Ishida.
"I got pissed of at the teacher" Koushiro said plainly.
"I couldn't stand the heat, so I told my teacher I had to practice with my band" Matt said sitting beside Taichi, laying on the grass with his head propped up by the root of the tree.
"Hey I herd all your excuses, but mine was the best" A high pitched voice said, "I slept in so I faked sick. When my mom found out, she drove me to school. When I got to the door I decided that I didn't want to go back to sleep to the droning lectures of the teacher, so I came out here" It was Mimi Tachikawa, with Joe at her side, their arms linked.
"I just finished an exam" Joe said with ease.
"Hey Sora when did you get here?" Mimi said seeing her friend stretch her leg behind the tree.
"Oh" Sora Takenouchi groaned, "I've been here since Izzy sat down. I just didn't want to bother you" She lied "I saw all of you leave and so I just followed you."
Izzy knew that Sora was lying 'how could you have seen all of us leave but still be here since I sat down' He thought about asking her but he was too comfortable to question anything.
They all sat there, under the shade of the tree. Matt now leaned against the tree with one leg flat on the ground and the other bent with his foot firmly on the ground, his black shorts stopping at his knees and white T-shirt covered with Taichi's head and hair, Tai still had his school uniform on but with his coat off and the sleeves and pant legs rolled up. Matt's hand gently stroked the brown mass of hair. They had been going out for a while, but the only ones who knew were their best friends, Sora, Izzy, Joe and Mimi. Also Matt's younger brother, TK, and Taichi's younger sister, Kari.
Joe half sat half laid on the ground leaning on the tree, he had light brown shorts on and a grayish white T-shirt. One of his arms around Mimi, who was comfortably lying on Joe, with her hand held in Joe's free hand.
"Get off" Sora said simply, muffled by the ground.
"No" Izzy said quietly and angrily, his voice was also muffled by the ground. "Give me back my N.P" He said, his expression unchanging. He had remembered the note he had gotten before and was about to check it when Sora snatched it out of his hands. They had been fighting over it for a while and Sora had the advantage at first because she was much taller and could hold the N.P up higher then Izzy could reach, but then Koushiro tackled her to the ground and now was draped over her so that she couldn't get up, but in result both of their faces were buried into the ground.
"Fine, but you have to get off of me first"
"No, you give it to me first"
"I can't"
"Why not"
"Because I'm lying on it"
"Oh" He said standing upright snatching the N.P out from under Sora. "Hey I thought that you had to go back into school!" The boy said looking at Tai with one eye, while dusting himself off.
"Oh well" It sounded like Tai, his cocky voice clearly heard, but the calmness behind it was definitely not Tai's.
'Maybe Matt's insane calmness has rubbed off on him' Koushiro thought.
"Hey have you heard of the new Navi they just put it out and...."
"My dad has it, its not all that good. So if none of us are going to go back into school lets go get something to eat!" Izzy said interrupting Sora and changing the subject as soon as possible.
"Uh....sure lets go get pizza, there's a new place down the road from here." Matt said sitting completely and waking Tai from his half slumber. Taichi stirred, looking around as if it was the first time he had ever seen any of the people around him. His eyes fell on Izzy, confused he said ".....who....are....you...?" in an accusing and dazed way. Everyone looked at Tai, horrified looks on there faces, they looked on at him as if what he had said was blasphemy, accept Koushiro who sat and looked at his hand, he was plunged into darkness.
Something was growing, he could see it, growing right out of his hand, squirming painfully out of his hand. The boy clutched at his wrist, but felt nothing solid touch his hand, he was dissolving, like sand in a desert storm, no sound was heard, only the quick beating of the boys heart, and the heavy breathing, he knew it was coming from himself but it was all around him, not inside of him but around him. Scared he ran, not getting anywhere in the blackness, but he kept running, he looked behind him expecting something to be following him. There it was the...thing, it was no longer a skinny stick growing out of his hand, it had burned painfully out of its burdensome host, which was the frightened boy. He stopped and stared at the thing that was now the size of a large elephant, green, almost plant like. Koushiro cowered as the thing grew right before his eyes, He stumbled backwards, tripping on something, he couldn't see what it was but he knew it was there. "WHAT ARE YOU?" Izzy yelled his voice cracking from fright "STOP IT LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Koushiro screamed covering his face with his arms. The green plant like animal hovered over the boy, it eyes deep, dark slits, filled with ominous blood red flames.
"I am your fear, anger and anguish" a dark hollow voice surrounded the cowering boy.
"I control your emotions" The boy pulled his arms away and put them back to support his weight behind him.
"What.....?"
"I am you"
"I....I don't..."
"I control you, you are nothing"
"You aren't me"
"You are nothing I am everything"
"I'm not nothing"
"You have fears, you have become weak"
"What do you mean I have become weak"
"You show emotion, fear, love, hate, they are all weaknesses."
"I....."
"You show all of these emotions and more, how could you let this happen to you"
"Let me....."
"DO NOT SPEAK YOU INSOLENT FOOL, you are no longer an asset to me, I can leave you now, you may live your pathetic human life the way you intend..........But then, you were such a powerful being, I may visit you again........sometime" The creature turned its back coldly on the confused and frightened boy.
"WAIT, you cant leave now, I have so many questions to ask you" Koushiro yelled after the green monstrosity, but it paid no attention to the pitiful cries of the human being.
"We can't just leave him here, what if something happens to him?" a sorrowful voice echoed around the solitary boy. "What if these people are cruel people, what if they kill him"
"We cant possibly take him with us, he would be better of beaten to death then where we are going" Another voice echoed off into the distance.
"M......Mom" The word uttered out of Izzy's mouth was hardly his own, it was harsh and raspy, like a raven cawing in a sunlike moon, and it was definitely not his mothers voice. Koushiro knew that he was adopted but to hear his real mother talking about someone in such a way.
"NO IT IS NOT YOUR MOTHER, YOU NEVER HAD MOTHER YOU ARROGENT WORM, AND YOU NEVER WILL, YOU ARE A NOTHING AND WILL ALWAYS BE A NOTHING. AHAHA" a loud voice boomed around the quivering boy.
"No that is my mother and my father and that is when they left me on the step of the Izumi's house, I know it is, it is, it is" he repeated, hardly believing it himself.
"Hey kid are you ok?" A young looking woman asked as Izzy opened his eyes slowly.
"........"
"........" The woman was surrounded by a faint glow, Koushiro rubbed his eyes, but his sight became no better. "Hey are you ok?" the woman asked again.
The boy who was now lying on a cluster of chairs, which he just now noticed was causing much pain.
"........What........happened......?...." Izzy spoke as if he had only learned yesterday. "....Where...........am........... I........ ? " He asked trying to stand erect, but failing miserably.
"Well you came storming in here......"
"........Where.....is ......... here...... ?....."
"Oh your in the fire hall." She said smiling "you had a bad fall. After storming in here you went straight for the balcony, I'm just a janitor here so I didn't have a clue what to do, I had been stacking the chairs outside and you jumped right on them, but it looked almost like you were pushed" She turned her head as she heard sirens of an ambulance. She turned her head back to where the boy was lying but he was gone.
'Where did my friends go, how did I get to the fire hall' Koushiro asked himself as he held his side in pain and ran quickly away from the red lights.
He stopped, feeling pain in his hand again he looked down on it, and gasped in pain and fear. His hand, other then bleeding like hell, had a large hole through the center. Oozing some kind of greenish blood. 'What could have happened to me so that this would happen' he thought fearfully grasping his wrist tightly.
"IF I CAN DO THIS NON-EXISTING, THINK OF WHAT I CAN DO WHEN I HAVE A TRUE FORM IN THE REAL WORLD" A loud and familiar voice crashed around the boy like thunder shaking the earth.
This is a Koushiro fic and basically the first fic I have written in Taito. Joe is about 17, Matt is 16, Sora, Mimi and Tai are 15, Izzy is 14 and Kari and TK are 12.
