Love for the wild : sequel of "Cry of a Lone wolf"
by SailorEevee

Author's Note: Yay! My stupid school play is over!! I spent all my afternoons on it. Now I can type again. The only problem is, I have no idea what's going on in the world of digimon except for the season 02 ending. (scary...Yama-chan isn't cute anymore..)


"I smell him." Snowrunner growled, his claws digging into the ground with every stride. Sora inhaled deeply, replaying the last battle with Diablomon over and over in her mind. She could feel Mimi getting more and more tense behind her, finally breaking into a soft wail. "I have to stay strong, for Mimi." Sora hissed under her breath, clutching the two crests around her neck. Her crest of love did nothing to soothe her nervousness, but the cracked and bloody shards of the crest of friendship scratched her fingers, causing pain to burn through her. She didn't care, she in fact welcomed it. She knew she would feel a lot of it soon. Suddenly Snowrunner stopped, causing Sora to fall off. She got up only to see a frightaning image in the field below her. Diablomon. "Ready Mimi?" She whispered to her friend. Mimi moaned a little, then stood beside Sora. "Let's....g...gg..go." Mimi stuttered.
-------------------
"Maybe Diablomon's caught her!! We have to hurry!" cried Biyomon, leading the group farther into the digiworld forest. Tai ran behind next, doing his best to keep up with the frantic digimon. Joe and Palmon followed after him, hoping that Mimi was all right. Next came Takeru, hoping that his brother could be saved, then Izzy and Kari. Tai was worried. They had been looking for the girls for hours, following the digivices. Sora and Mimi's digivices must've reacted, because they started coming toward the group. But then they turned around, going towards another dot. "Could that be Diablomon?" Tai asked Izzy, slowing down enough to let him catch up. "Maybe." Izzy replied, watching the fading form of Biyomon fade amist the trees. Tai shook his head and started to run again.
-------------------
Snowrunner let out a wild howl and rushed to the giant virus digimon. It alerted Diablomon, who turned to see two girls and a Garurumon charging toward him. He hissed, a horrible sound that rang through the trees. "So, you fight me again? Child, you are wasting your time. I am more powerful that you would ever dream, thanks to your little friend's soul. I feed off the darkness in his heart. You can not stop me." Sora cried out in anger, following Snowrunner in his headlong charge. Diablomon just laughed at their efforts. An idea came to her suddenly. She leaped upon the great wolf's back, pulling off from her neck the stained cracked shards of the crest of friendship. She used it as a knife as Snowrinner pounced on the evil digimon, plunging it into his cold black chest. Her hand grew icy cold from the black blood that ran from the wound. Diabomon laughed, but his laughter changed to screaming as a light burst from the wound.
He spasmed, striking Snowrunner to the ground. Sora fell off, still clutching the broken crest. The light struck Snowrunner, and he too screamed with pain as the light grew brighter and brighter. A rock cut her forehead, thrown back from the power of the light. Blood started running into her eyes, blocking her vision, and more rocks pelted her unprotected body. She sunk into blackness, passing out on the battle field. The last thing she heard was Mimi's screaming.
-------------------
"This way! I hear something!" Agumon said, following the growing sounds of battle. Tai ran, shocked at the idea that Sora and Mimi would try to fight a digimon of that power alone. "He's going to kill them!!" Joe screamed, tearing past Tai to take the lead. Joe was blinded by rage, letting the anger give him strength to run. He was afraid, yes, but nothing mattered to him more than Mimi's safety. "I just hope we aren't too late!" Tai said, running to keep up with the frantic Joe.
-------------------
"Hold still Sora, this will only take a minute." A male voice said as Sora came to. She froze, feeling gentle hands tying something around her head. "Tai?" she asked groggily, her voice but a thin whisper of what it usually was. "No, Sora" the voice said, using a cloth to wipe the dried blood from her face. She focused her eyes, clearing all the blurriness from them, and the first thing she saw was a pair of concerned blue eyes in front of her. "Here Sora, drink some water." Mimi said, coming into her vision. Sora moaned, than reached out a shaky hand to the other person, a person she never thought she'd see again. "Matt...the crest...freed." Matt put his hand to her cheek, silencing her. "Don't talk Sora. It'll make it worse."
She relaxed, accepting Mimi's water. She was happy just to let Matt hold her hand, the feeling soothing her. She smiled, feeling the pain in her head disappearing. "Matt, are you okay? What did I do?" She asked, trying to reorient herself. Mimi stood up, stretching her legs. "You hit Diablomon in the perfect place, Sora. The light was Matt's soul going back in with Snowrunner. He changed back and saw you faint. I found a large rock that we could hide behind, and we took you here." She said, watching Sora's reaction. "Diablomon just ignored us when we left. He's too busy breaking down the barrier." Matt said, still clutching Sora's hand.
Sora tensed, than used her little energy to sit up and grab Matt. She held him tightly, not wanting to let go for fear of losing him again. He sat there and held her, giving her his strength. She broke into tears, crying out all the joy and happines that was in her heart. "I did it. I never thought I would see you again. God, I never knew how hard it would be...I love you Yamato Ishida...I always wanted to tell you." He pulled her closer, kissing her wet cheek softly. "I knew Sora, I always did. I saw how you looked at me. I was afraid once, but now I'm not. I owe you so much for saving me, this doesn't seem like payment enough." Sora sobbed, burying her head in his golden-blonde hair. "You don't owe me. This is more than payment. I can live again." She cried. In reply, Matt took her and started kissing her lips, poring his love and passion into one simple act. She returned it, clutching him like she would never let go. Mimi stood watching for Diablomon as Sora and Matt reunited in the small moment of peace.
