~Falling out of Heaven~
*A Glimpse of What Would Be*

"It's beautiful tonight," Hikari murmured as she and Takeru walked hand in hand down the park. The stars glistened dimly above the park lights as they couls see tiny fireflies circling near the dark trees at Hikari's left. A couple or two were scattered here and there but otherwise, they were isolated from the world.

"Yeah," Takeru breathed in reply.

Hikari looked at him. He looked so different without his hat and with in a green polo and dark jeans. His hair was messy, but it was a cute messy. His green-gray eyes were so dreamy, so intense...she would've never seen this in him until she had back when they were in fifth grade...

I care about you too, she remembered telling him. She just never knew that feeling of security around him was more than jut simple friendship. She never felt so complete with anyone else than him...was it the works of their former partnership with the crests or was it really for real?

Takeru looked down at Hikari. "Hikari-kun?"

She blushed and turned away. "N-Nothing."

He smiled at her gently. "Okay," he said, looking back at the vast night sky. The stars twinkled a song as they turned towards a grassy clearing where a soccer net was visible and a basketball court somewhere nearby. "This is kinda like...poetry in motion," he murmured.

"Hmm?" she asked.

Now it was his turn to blush. "Oh, it's nothing."

"Um, alright," she replied, looking at the fireflies glow. Although they weren't talking, she could feel some vibes in the air coming from him, keeping her in an upbeat tone while he was rubbing her small hand gently with his fingers. He feels so...so..."T-Takeru...???"

He turned to look at her dreamily. "Hmm?"

She said nothing as she lifted her hand from his clasp and placed it on his cheek. It was startlingly cold to his touch, but the heat of his skin relatively warmed it up. He felt his entire form freeze before her as he didn't say anything as she pulled him closer for a gentle kiss. His hands became mobile again as he pulled her closer towards his own body...

"Takaishi! Yagami!"

They both turned around to see none other than Motomiya Daisuke walkng up to them with a blonde-dyed girl draped over his shoulder. Hikari groaned as she slid behind Takeru, her arm clasped tightly around his'. Why can't we ever get some time alone? she wondered.

Takeru groaned inwardly. Every time Hikari and he were finally getting intense, that was when someone like Motomiya coming in and disrupting the moment. He felt completely robbed of their privacy, and if it kept up, he was gonna blow the cover.

"Motomiya," Takeru said monotonely.

"Funny I'd catch you here," Daisuke said coolly.

The blonde girl frowned. "But, honey, we were---"

"Not here, Katsuki," he warned.

Takeru and Hikari exchanged glances. So that was it; the girl was his mask and the date was a plan to follow them the entire evening. Hikari's scowl deepened slightly as she continued to huddle close to Takeru. "What do you want from us, Daisuke?" she asked exhasperatedly.

"Oh, the usual peace, love and understanding," he replied, carefree, "not to mention hang around you guys for a while." He grinned non-chalantly as his so-called girlfriend smiled a bit.

Takeru and Hikari groaned in unison.


"Thanks for taking me home, Miya-kun," Ken said as he lay down on his bed. Wormmon occupied the top of his bunk bed and when he checked, his digimon was curled up asleep. Smiling, he let himself sink into his own bed while Miyako sat before him. "Though I don't know why you're tucking me in."

"Who said I was?" she asked him.

Ken shrugged in response.

"But who said I wasn't? Aren't you gonna change?" she asked gently.
He turned his smile towards a confused Miyako. The thought had occurred to him, he just didn't feel like changing. Especially with Miyako around...He blushed. "Naw," he replied, brushing his hair back. "Too tired."

She hit him playfully. "Lazy bum," she teased.

Silence.

"What are you thinking?" he asked her.

She shrugged. "I was just wondering how Hikari and Takeru's date is going."

He smiled at her. "Well, for sure they wouldn't be home before ten," he pointed out, making her smile. He reached out and patted her hand gently. "I'm sure they're having a great time." He shrugged. "Gomen..."

She blinked. "For what?"

"Ruining out evening," he mumbled in reply.

She took his hand into hers. "It's okay, Ken-kun, really."

His smile widened as he propped himself up until he nearly could meet eye-to-eye with Miyako. She then leaned down towards him to kiss him on the forehead, but then he caught her and kissed him passionately on her soft lips.

"I think I should go," Miyako said, embracing him, "before..."

"Yeah," Ken agreed. "I agree."

She smiled at him. "Good night, Ken-kun."

Before Miyako could get up, he stole a quick kiss. "Good night, Miya-kun."

Miyako grinned at him again before leaving the room.

Ken practically dove into the bed. He never felt so happy in his life! And he never smiled so much in his life that he could've sworn that he was going to get lines near his mouth. He couldn't believe how much his life changed...
how brighter it got since he had kissed Miyako at her shop.

"Mmm...mmm....mmmhhh!!!" A flashing green object toppled to the floor.

Ken suddenly sat up, accidentally hitting his head on the bottom of the second bunk before looked at the floor to see what had fallen. He saw Wormmon on the ground. "Wormmon!" he cried in surprise. "Are you alright?"

"Mmmm...sure thing...Ken..."

Ken smiled.


He was getting dizzy. He decided to plop onto the bed and go to sleep before something bad happened but by then it was too late. His reflection on the mirror shifted and he felt gravity letting loose of him. He crashed to the floor, unaware of the impact as the world around him darkened...


"Motomiya, leave us alone," Takeru said as Hikari dragged him towards her apartment. It was a little past ten and because of Daisuke disrupting the evening, Hikari decided to go home before she got annoyed. Really annoyed. "I mean, there is such thing as privacy."

"Privacy, whatever Takaishi," he snorted. "You ruined my life."

"How so?" Takeru asked.

"Taking Yagami here away from me," Daisuke replied bitterly. "Ever since you first came in four years ago, I knew you'd be trouble. I knew you had something going on with Hikari, so I decided to toughen up. Even after that, you still became close with her. You two are inseperable! You ruined my life, Takaishi, it's as simple as that."

"It's written in the stars, what could I say?" Takeru replied coolly.

"I ought to..."

Hikari opened the door to the Yagami household and swung her keys into her pockets again. She looked down to see Taichi's adidas sneakers alone in the shoe area and swung off her shoes. That's odd, she thought, Taichi's never home this early. Unless..."Taichi?"

No response.

Takeru entered and kicked off his sneakers. "What's wrong?"

"Taichi's home," she replied, trying to supress the panic. "But it's out of character of him to come home this early at night...unless something's happened to him or he's just seriously bored..."

Daisuke popped his head in the room. "I don't blame the guy," he commented.

"Get him outta here," prowled Hikari as she ventured down the hallway to the bedroom area. She tried hard not to feel like something's wrong. If he was asleep, he would've heard her by now and maybe yelled a response. Unless he was listening to music. But in her heart, she could feel like something's wrong. "Taichi? Taichi...where are you?"

"Daisuke, honestly, please go," Takeru said gently.

"Why should I, Takaishi?" Daisuke demanded.

"This isn't a good time for you to wreck havoc," he stated simply and followed Hikari to the bedrooms, hearing Daisuke say, "If there's trouble, I should be here too. Taichi is my friend, too."

Hikari opened the door to Taichi's room. It was dark and Taichi was nowhere to be found. I guess he went to my room or something, she thought, opening her room. He wasn't there either. Hmm...maybe he decided to take a cool shower or something. She pushed open the door...

"Oh, God, Oniisan!"

Takeru, who was in the living room and Daisuke, who was in the kitchen, looked up at Hikari's high-pitched scream and ran to the washroom. Takeru was the first to reach the washroom since he was faster than Daisuke and saw Hikari holding Taichi's silent body. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks as she looked up.

"Takeru-kun...Taichi...oh, gosh, help him, someone, please!!!"

Takeru turned to Daisuke, who was frozen by the door, about to ask what the hell was going on in the Yagami household. "Call Kido Jou," he ordered curtly, dropping on his knees to check out Taichi's pulse through Hikari's muffled sobs.

"But---" he protested.

"Now, Motomiya!" Takeru shouted harshly. As Daisuke stumbled to a run to the phone, he turned to Hikari, who was crying her heart out and stroked her arm. "Don't worry, Hikari-kun...Jou's coming...he'll be able to help us," he told her gently. "Taichi's going to be alright, Hikari, I promise..."
