Author's note: Com'on people, cut me off some slack here. I know, I haven't been spending time to finish this fic as before. I guess I've gotten a bit side tracked lately. (I know, lousy excuse. I was just busy) O and please I'm asking, no I'm pleading, for the last time. PLEASE if you have the time, submit a review. It really makes me feel better, and with the short # of reviews I have, I don't feel like I'm doing a great job as a writer. Anyway where was I? Ah yes.....I don't own Digimon and here is where we left off.
Forgiveness- Chapter 9
"Jeez, it's really dark in here." Davis complained.
Willis just walked by him. "Well what did you expect. A cave filled with hallway lights?"
Davis just made a frown, refusing to admit his stupidity.
Everyone, however were getting a bit tired from their long trek through the cave. They've already been searching through the cave for 4 hours. And as they progressed, they notice that the more they descended into the cave, the more the darkness of the cave consumed them. Luckily Sora found 4 torches earlier that day and Agumon set it on fire with his pepper breath. As a result, they finally had a weapon to fend off the darkness.
Mimi was extremely tired by now and couldn't stand taking another step. "Tai, why don't we take a little rest. All of us are still exhausted from the battle with Golbermon. Our digimon will need all the energy they can get if they're going to help us save the world."
But Tai had that stubborn look on his face as he looked back at Mimi. "The more time we take to rest, the less time we'll have to get to our destination. Not to mention getting back home before the prophecy takes place. We already spended 3/4 of a day on our journey and that means it's already Monday night back at home. You must understand that we should get those crests at all costs."
However it seemed that most people were exhausted and preferred taking a little break. Kari then came up to her big brother.
"Hey Tai. You also have to understand that our digimon aren't robots or anything like that. They need to rest as well. If we're to ever survive this, we'll need to have the strength to fight when the time comes. And that includes them. I'm sure everyone else here would agree with me."
With that a few of the teens nodded their heads.
Tai suddenly felt so stupid and cold-hearted, not noticing that there are times that people need to go on, even if it meant going beyond you're limits. And that there are times where you just need to take a time out from reality. This was a time for a break.
"You're right Kari. I'm sorry I've acted so half hearted. I just feeling responsible if anything were to ever happen to our family and our home. I wouldn't ever forgive myself if it were my fault that the earth perished. But I'll make sure that won't happen. Let's take a rest." Those last words left everyone smiling and giving a sigh of relief.
(Guess Tai finally got through his thickheaded mind that there's more to leadership than just striving for a goal.)
It was then that when she returned to the others, she caught a glance of TK nodding with congratulations for her. Kari just smiled a bit in return, knowing it was only a gesture of confidence.
Takeru, however, was having different thoughts.
Kari really has grown to become almost as strong as her brother. Everyday she seems to surprise me with something different. But since yesterday, she hasn't had any hard feelings against me. Has she already forgiven me? No, she's a very honest person and if she did, she probably would have told me already. Though we may have lessen the tension between us, we still really haven't admitted to each other we were wrong, and for now, all I can offer her is this simple act of kindness.
Everyone then sat down on the rocky path that they were on. Their digimon were quite tired so they decided to huddle up together and take a quick nap. Izzy was, as usually, was fiddling with his laptop trying to pinpoint their location, Davis was chatting with Willis about some soccer teams in Japan, Sora was keeping an eye out on Tai making sure he didn't do anything stupid, Mimi was complaining of how her new Nike jeans were now totally dirty, and Matt trying to reassure her, and Joe was treating a wound on Cody from his tunnel digging that ended up saving the others from Golbermon. Meanwhile Ken and Yolei started to take a little walk ahead to gain some privacy. Kari saw them walk away, and saw that they were holding hands. She then noticed a tear fall down her check. Luckily no one noticed her.
(Huh? A tear? Where did that come from? I should be happy for Yolei and Ken that they've been able to confess their affections for one another. Then why do these tears come from, every time I see them express their love for each other? Am I jealous for what they have? No, it can't be. Could it?)
Kari then just threw away the thought and just tried to lie down on the rough surface and rest a bit. But still, a tiny piece of that thought still dangled in her mind, haunting her heart and spirit.
40 minutes later
"Alright gang, let's move out" Tai ordered.
Everyone seemed to finally be in favor with Tai's decision and started once again their long trek. Their digimon were about fully regained and energetic from their rest. But not as energetic as Davis was. "Com'on all you slowpokes. Let's hurry up! My grandma could outrun all of you easily." With that, Davis darted forward, trying to be the brave hero. Without even taking one of the torches. TK just sighed (Davis will always be the same. Trying to be a showoff and always will be the hardheaded member. Wait, I forgot Tai. That makes two of them. This is a crazy world. He's probably trying to showoff to Kari, like he used to back in the old days.) But then they heard a loud scream, obviously it was Davis. Everyone immediately started to sprint forward in search for their companion. However as they advance, they heard the scream die down until they couldn't hear him anymore. They still continued down the underground path until they stopped at a fork in the road that splited into four paths. Tai obviously was in his world of a leader, trying to figure what path to take. Then he made a decision.
"Ok, we have 4 paths to take so we're going to have to split up"
"Joe, Izzy and Ken. You guys take the 1st route"
"Mimi, Matt, and Willis. You take door #2"
"Me, Sora and Yolei will take #3"
The 1st two groups were already off in their paths. Then Tai saw that TK, Cody and Kari were left.
"Then I guess you guess will take the #4 path. You guys don't mind do you?"
Cody already said yes, but the other two sort of hesitated for a sec before giving saying yes.
"Well then, why are you still here? Let's get going. The sooner we find Davis, the sooner we can get back on schedule." Then the rest of them separated to their own ways, not knowing that someone else was already watching them as they made their ways. The mysterious person made an evil grin, knowing that all was going according to plan.
End of Chapter 9
Is this a coincidence that the digidestined is split up, or is this some sort of trap? What lies in each others path? And will everyone be able to rescue Davis (not that anyone cares)? More coming on chapter 10!
