Authors Note: Hey everyone. I originally was going to put this into chapter 9, but I figured it would be too long. Plus also the fact that everyone wants to know what happens to TK and Kari a.s.a.p. so I splited them both into two different chapters. Also, I'm sorry for the delay of chapters lately. Like I said, I got a bit sidetracked in my life, but keep up those reviews. It always makes me feel good to be a fanfic writer.
Anyway now I have confirmed that there will be a MINIMUM of 4 chapters to come. So don't hold your breath, more is coming for your reading pleasure. Anyway I don't own Digimon (Veemon would be nice to own, he's awesome). And here is (drum roll please)............
Forgiveness- Chapter 10
In Path #2
"Why did Tai have to pick the creepiest path for us" Mimi complained.
"Well who could tell, since every path is probably just as creepy as this one." Willis responded. Mimi just stuck her tongue at him with a hint of irritation.
"Well, whatever this place leads to, lets hope that we'll be able to find Davis as soon as possible." Matt said. Then he took another look at the cavern's walls as they traveled through. It was almost pitch dark in there, but they at least had one of the torches to light the way. And yet he felt that something was wrong. Suddenly he felt scared for some unknown reason. "Actually, this place is also starting to give me the creeps as well. And I don't like the feeling of staying in here. Let's hurry!" As soon as Matt mentioned that, Willis and Mimi also realized that same evil aura that seemed to dangle from the ceiling. It was like it was waiting to devour them, like a ravenous beast. It was then they wouldn't wait to find out and started to sprinted into a run, wanting to escape that cursed cavern. All of a sudden they heard screams, almost seamed like they were moaning from excessive pain. The others and their digimon were terrified by now and ran faster as they screams pursued them. They didn't dare look back at what was causing all of this, because of their fear. Maybe it was a ghost, or a demon. Whatever it was, they didn't dare want to look to find out. "What the HELL is this place??!!" Mimi screamed in horror as she ran.
But before she could even finish screaming, a dark energy suddenly shot forward from behind them, like a bullet and enveloped over everyone. They tried to scream more but no voice came out as it totally covered them all. Then the next thing they knew, they were knock unconscious.
In Path #1............
Ken, Joe, and Izzy were making their way through the mysterious cavern. However it was almost like the north pole, as everything they saw was covered with sleets of ice. Even the floor was solid ice, so they ended up using Ikakumon as ferry ride across the floor, since he had better abilities in the cold.
"Prodigious. This was a great idea to get across this cavern." Izzy exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know. He's a humongous walrus for crying out loud." Joe said
It was then the huge creature turned to his companion a bit. "Excuse me, but I am not a walrus. I am a digimon. I've seen pictures of those, what do you humans called it again?........Walruses, and I have never seen one that had a white fur like mine. Heck they don't even have fur at all!"
Ken just grinned a bit at the joke and responded instead. "Hey, no need to get into any frenzy here. He was just being sarcastic. You, out of all digimon, should know that." It was then he added a laugh with that, and they all just had a small giggle. "Yeah, well I guess I have to work more on my old Gomamon charm, don't I?"
But before anyone could respond, the ice suddenly cracked, leaving a fast sinking, yet confused, Ikakumon. "What's happening here!" Izzy exclaimed. " I made a safety check on the ice, to see if it was safe to cross, and it was well sturdy and thick. What could have caused this?" It was then as they looked down, that Izzy found his answer. Something red and hot was burning up underneath, melting the ice all over the cavern. "If this keeps up, that heat will make the whole cavern collapse. We've got to get out of here." Ken yelled. Everyone else nodded. But before the creature could start swimming back to the surface, the heat suddenly disappeared, leaving a gigantic hole underneath. Then the hole suddenly started sucking up everything in its path. Water, rocks, debris, then it went after Ikkakumon. He tried as much as he could to resist the suction, but somehow it was easily making him tired and exhasted. Joe suddenly noticed that his companion was about to faint. "Fight it Ikukumon. Fight it with all of your might. Don't give in!" But as encouraging his words words, the creature suddenly fainted and dedigivolved back to Gomamon. The last thing Gomamon said before he suddenly went out and before everyone got sucked into that dark hideous hole, he said " I'm sorry I let you all down."
In Path #3
"What is this place?" Sora asked in amazement and wonder as she beheld a miniature forest in front of her. Tai and Yolei were also speechless at the sight. It certainly was something to see. But first they had their priorities. "Okay lets get a move on girls. We've got a long way to go." Then they both made a salute like Tai was a general. "Yes Colonel Kamiya. As you command." Then they all started to laugh. As they started to enter into the forest, they seemed to think as if they were back at that same forest from yesterday. "Is it me, or do all you guy's have a sense of deja vou?" Tai just turned his head towards her. "I'm not a superstitious type of person. But this definitely feels like we've been here........"he suddenly stopped. Sora immediately came over to him. "What's wrong Tai?" It was then that she saw his eyes were wide and in a way confused. She looked over at what he was gazing over. She was suddenly bewildered at the sight. Yolei then came up both of them. "Hey guys, what's with the dead silence? You two looked like a pair of zombies?" See looked at where they were staring at and saw that something seemed familar. All three of them saw 7 familiar little digimon suddenly start digivolving into Rookie forms. One was a miniture T-rex, another a pink bird, the other a big red cockroach, a flying pig like creature, another that was white and had big claws and striped red, a creature with a blue fur and a yellow horn, and the last was a plant creature that had a flower hanging on her head. And behind them were a group of 12 year old children, whom the creature were protecting them from another huge monster that had sharp fangs and covered blood red. This was that scene were the original digidestined first stumbled into the digital world and just befriended with their digimon partners. It was also the day they first digivolved just so they could protect them from the hideous Kuwagamon that threatened their lives.
"Huh, how can this be. We are watching ourselves as children way back. How is this possible?"
Sora was just a confused as Tai was. "I don't know. I just don't know. Let's go and try to find Davis. Later we can figure out some of this." Tai nodded and they went on their way. Yolei was still standing there, confused and didn't have a clue what they were talking about. Then she saw that the others started with out her. "Hey, wait up you two!" But she couldn't find them. Then all of a sudden, something struck her from behind and she fell unconscious.
"Hey Tai, where's Yolei?" Sora asked as she suddenly realized that their friend suddenly dissappeared.
"Damn, I forgot she was with us. I guess we went ahead of her. Lets backtrack a bit and see if we see any signs of her." Sora then smiled a bit. "Yeah, I wouldn't want to tell Ken later on that his girlfriend is already missing. He probably would pass out or, even worse, go ballistic on us." Tai ended up responded with a smile from the little joke. But now they had to find Yolei before it was too late, so they went back, hoping to see if they could find any clue. Then suddenly it seemed time and reality was being altered as everything around them suddenly just went out and was only left with blank whiteness.
"Tai, what's going on here." Sora asked nervously.
"I'm not so sure Sora whatever this place is, we've got to get out of here." But no sooner later they saw other kids, but much younger than they were. Suddenly Tai realized what was going on. "Sora, don't you see whats going on here. That's us over there when we were 12 and still the active digidestined. If I'm right, this would be the same place Apocalypsmom sended us as data information while we all battled him back then. These are all memories." Sora finally caught on with Tai.
"Tai your right! But what are all of these memories doing here and why are they being revealed to us. Is there some sort of purpose to this?"
Then it seemed reality was restored once again, but again in a different scenery. This time, a boy was crying out of frustration on the sandy floor of the desert. It was Tai again.
"Oh God! Not this again." Tai said with a some horror
"Tai what's wrong here? What happened to you?" Sora asked with concern
"No! I don't want to remember that day! It was that day when Datamon abducted you after we freed him. I felt it was my fault that this happened. I thought that he might have taken you away from me forever, and that I might never see you again, or even worse. If I wasn't so ignorant or so overconfident like the fool I was, I was thinking 'maybe this could have been avoided', but no, I had already made a critical mistake. To lose one of the closest people in my life." Tai then dropped one tear from his eye as he remembered that fateful day. Sora was overly shocked. She never knew that she meant so much in Tai's life, that it make him tremble with fear. Sure, they might have gone out a few nights and just have a good time, but only because they were very close friends. Maybe even a bit more close than she thought. But she remembered that one day that stood before her very well. But she never knew his failure to her would result into fear. Fear that she would be gone in his life. Fear that he wouldn't ever get on with his life without her. Fear that he wouldn't ever tell her that he......... 'that he loved you Sora!' Suddenly it seemed time stopped a second time as Sora heard a distance voice in her head said to her. 'What!? Why would he want to love me? We're only friends.' Sora responded in her mind. Then the voice responded. 'Sure, you just keep on saying that to yourself Sora, but is that what you really want? You know you've had feelings for him for some time. And now this is probably the only time he will probably will be able to confess how much you mean to him. Why don't you take advantage of it?' Then Sora fell silent. The voice read her mind perfectly. She was in love with him, but she has never been able to tell him that yet. She was just scared that if he didn't have the same feelings, that it would break their bond of friendship, but she wouldn't wait any longer. 'You're right! I can't hold back my heart any longer. I have to tell him my own feelings. Thank you.' But the voice wasn't there any more, then time seemed to turn back to normal where it left out.
"I was scared Sora. I was really scared. Not from fright, but from fear. I feared that Datamon would have done something horrible to you. Torture, pain, or even worse, death. I didn't want to think what would have happened because of my irresponsibility. I didn't want you to disappear from my life,........because I never was able to tell you."
Sora finally came up to Tai closely as he continued. "Tell me what Tai?" she asked
Tai suddenly felt tense as it would be hard to say this, worrying that what he was about say might make their relationship for the better or worse. "To tell you that I.....love you." He finally finished.
Sora couldn't hold back any longer. 'The wait ends now. It's now or never'. She suddenly came up to that face she looked upon for years and those eyes that seemed to sparkled like the clear night's sky. Sora then brought her lips up to his as they both finally got what they wanted and longed for. Tai was surprised at first, but soon did he surrender himself into that blissful kiss. They both wanted to stay like that forever, but eventually they had to part. When they both left their embrace, silently Sora said "I love you too Tai. Ever since we were friends as little children, I already had feelings for you and wanted to be by your side from then on." So then laid her head on Tai as he smoothly brushed her hair with his hand. "Oh Sora, you were the one person that gave me a meaning to live. To live so I could stay with you forever and never let anyone or anything to take you away. That I will promise you, because I love you so dearly". Sora suddenly wanted to cry and hold on to him until her arms couldn't hold any longer. Just those words left her happy and joyful that they could see their love in each other whenever they see each other now. But before Sora could say anything else, everything suddenly started to darken and they could barely see each other. The only thing they could do was to hold on to each other and feel each other's presence throught their linked hands. Then it seemed a distant force was trying to pry them apart and pull them from each other like a vacuum. Sora had a terrified look on her face and tried looking at Tai. "Please Tai, help me. I don't want to leave you." Tai couldn't see her, but he knew she was just as scared as he was. "Hold on Sora. I don't know what's going on here, but I won't let you go. I won't loss you again. Not when we just found a new meaning in our lives. I won't let you go." But despite their courageous efforts, the force kept growing and growing, until their hands could barely touch their fingers. Then before they were seperated into the darkness, Tai said "I'm so sorry Sora. Please forgive me." Then they both were sucked into total darkness, wondering if they would see each other again.
End of Chapter 10
Where has everyone gone? What has happened to Tai and Sora, right when they seemed to find their ways to each other's hearts? Are they dead? Are they alive? What has happened to TK's group? And what were all those memories coming from? More coming up in the next chapter 11.................
*I know this is only supposed to be a Kenyako and Takari fic, but I decided to bend the rules a bit and add a little Taiora romance as well. Also I'm thinking about making a sequel to this story after I finish this. But that'll depend on how all of you like it, so keep on sending those reviews! So far everything is going well and I have a determined ending planned. And believe me, you will be in for quite alot of surprises for what I plan to write. That's one reason why I haven't been typing as much as I used to. (the other is because I've been spending to much time playing games like Final Fantasy 9 and Tales of Phantasia, Hey I can't help it if both are great games to play.)Also I've got homework and sports to keep me occupied so that's mainly why I've been have the hold back on the chapters. I'll try typing more chapters faster. Until then, adios amigos!
Anyway now I have confirmed that there will be a MINIMUM of 4 chapters to come. So don't hold your breath, more is coming for your reading pleasure. Anyway I don't own Digimon (Veemon would be nice to own, he's awesome). And here is (drum roll please)............
