Author's note: Sorry that I haven't gotten to any takari or michi. It hasn't really been sorato either. Well, here's a chapter of takari!
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, or its characters, just Cloud Eclipse and Crystal Moon.
A young woman dressed in spotless white cloak
roamed the darkened streets of old Los Angeles. She grimaced as haunted souls
cried out, forever cursed to carry the memory of that fateful day. Her long
light brown hair was tied up tight bun, her soft brown eyes staying alert,
searching for something, her lips moved slightly when she murmured the rhyme
that lead her to this god-forsaken place. "Venture to thy city of old. Thou
shall walk upon thy wasted lanes. Thou shall find what the drop of blood in the
thing that has been burnt but is still living." She shook her head in
frustration, what could possibly be burnt yet still living she
let loose a disturbed sigh, how much I wish that TK was here with me,
he'd know what to do suddenly a large hand clamped down on her mouth
shutting off her scream, as the world blacked out.
All the while that this was happening a figure dressed in
a silver cloak, was watching from the shadowed walls. His piercing ice blue
eyes penetrated the darkness around them. He spoke, the word's dripping
contempt, "Tai…how could you?"
Taichi Kamiya, a Lightning Master, one of the three men
of the inner Circle, he dragged his unconscious younger sister, into the alley.
A soft voice spoke behind him, "Are you sure that this is right, Tai?" he
whirled around, and found a young woman his age standing there, with beautiful
straw-berry pink hair that was tied into a tight ponytail. She was dressed in a
long flowing pink robe; her arms were crossed over her chest as she stared at
him with warm soft brown eyes. Tai stared back at his fiancée, three words
escaping his lips, "I owe Davis." The woman shook her head, "But think Tai, is
giving your sister to that maniac really brotherly Tai?" he was annoyed now, he
snarled at her, "Listen Mimi, I know what I'm doing! I owe Davis, and since he
wanted Kari, that's what he'll get. Sure, I fell slightly bad, but I am a man
that always keeps his word!" Mimi seemed slightly hurt at his outburst, and he
regretted it at once, "Look sweetie, I know what I'm doing. Besides Kari is one
of them. She should have never gone with that Ishida, joining the
Rebels! She would have been safer with me and Davis!" Mimi sighed brokenly,
"Fine, whatever you say." A defiant shout rang through the alleyway, "Mimi
might let you take Kari, but I never will!"
Tai narrowly escaped a beam of swirling blue-white
energy, it grazed his cheek painfully, and he snarled angrily, "Takeru! You
goddamn rebel! Come out and fight like a real master!" suddenly a huge amount
of force hit the unfortunate Lightning Master in the stomach, knocking the wind
out of him. A tall young man, with short rebel blonde hair, and ice blue eyes,
stared down at him. Takeru Ishida, Hope Master or in other words, telekinetic
master, growled at the Lightning Master, "If you ever try to take Kari from me
again, to give her to that fool of a master Davis, I'll kill you both!" and
with there was a blinding flash of white light, and when the light
cleared…there was no one there but a defeated master, and a worried young woman.
TK had used teleport to get himself and his lover out of
the alleyway. Now he stood worriedly over the unconscious young woman, bathing
her brow with a torn piece of cloth from his cloak, soaked with cold water. He
muttered to the young woman next to him, "You should never have gone out by
yourself. You got yourself almost captured and sold to that pervert Davis. Oh,
Kari…I wish things were better for us." Suddenly the woman lying beside him
stirred, and slowly opened her eyes.
Kari Kamiya slowly opened her eyes, at the feel of
coolness on her pounding temple. She awoke to find herself staring into eyes of
deep ice blue; she spoke a single word, "TK?" the young man at her side nodded,
and kissed her forehead gently, he spoke softly to her, "It was smart of you to
get yourself captured and almost given to Davis, by your loving brother." Kari
groaned softly, "Again?" TK nodded, she sighed, "It seems like I can't go
anywhere without Tai knowing." Takeru nudged her with his shoulder, "Then maybe
you should go places with a bodyguard." There was humor in his voice, and Kari
caught it, she winked at him, "And who would that be?" grinning cheekily TK
swept his girlfriend up in his arms and started twirling her. Breathless, Kari
saw the world spinning as TK let her go, then the man she loved made an elegant
bow, and smirked at her, "Why…your gallant knight, Takeru Ishida, of course!"
she laughed as she was yet again swept into his embrace, she whispered lightly
into his ear, "You're the only hope I left, TK…"
Author's note: What does
Kari mean, by "you're the only hope I have left TK?" well, next chapter you'll
find out!
