Chapter 2

Deceptions

*flashback*

"Hikari!Yolei!Iori!Davis!Ken!Everybody!" yelled Takeru as he ran up to them.

"Yes,TK?"asked Hikari.

"There's a new evil digimon!He's attacking the digital world!We have to stop it!"he said,catching his breath.

"Huh?Why didn't we know about it?"asked Hikari.

Takeru shrugged."I don't know."he said,the evil glint in his eye going unnoticed....

*end flashback*

Hikari sighed and closed her eyes.She decided to take a hot bath.That always seemed to clear her mind...

*~*~*~*~*~*~

A dark figure,in the shape of a beautiful young girl,cackled at this.

"She's so naive!She'll never figure it out in time!

And by the time she does,Takeru Takaishi,bringer of Hope,will be all mine!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"she screeched freakily.

She twisted a strand of blue-black hair around her cream-colored finger.

"Now,I'll just let him suffer a little longer,and then....."she said,and slid her tongue's tip over her top lip.

"I'll pounce."

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Takeru sat on his bed,the hot tears waging a war,trying to leak out.

'Takeru,no.You are not an eight-year old anymore.Don't cry.'

he scolded himself,but to no avail.The tears broke free and tumbled down his face.

He gave up and lay down in his bed and cried himself to sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day,Hikari walked to school alone. Everyone was mad at her for hurting such a sweet guy like Takeru. She huffed and strutted to school. She saw Takeru and almost comforted him.He looked terrible.

Bags under his eyes,tear-stained face,pale skin.

But then she remembered what he *supposedly* did,and instead strutted by him into the class.

Takeru saw her do that and felt his broken heart crumble.

He sighed and walked in after her.

He spent all day staring at the wall in front of him,causing many scoldings from the teachers.

This continued for several weeks,his grades slipping,him becoming thinner,paler,and sadder.

Even his best-friend Ken couldn't cheer him up at all,even though he tried hard.

Until a new girl came to class.

The day started out like all the others.Takeru came in and fixed his gaze on a spot in the wall.

"Ohayo."said the beautiful blue-black haired girl in front of them.

"I am Serna Tomoe."she said in a sweet,innocent voice.Then she flashed a dazzling smile around the room,pausing for a moment on Takeru.

"Ohayo,Serna!"came the unenthusiatic response.

"Yes,Serna.You may sit next to Takeru."said the teacher,pointing at the seat right up against Takeru's.

She came over and sat down.She turned to Takeru."Hello.*tiny frown*

You look tired.Are you okay?"she asked resting a tiny hand on his shoulder in a slightly seductive manner.Takeru was startled.He had begun to b elieve,though it was nonsense,that everything and everyone in the world hated him.But,then,Hikari was almost his whole world.

She smiled."You know,you're kinda cute,ya know?"she added,making Takeru smile for the first time in about a month."Thank you."he said,smiling at her,and blushing a bit.

After that,they were given an hour to go anywhere and study.Takeru took his work outside and sat beneath a huge,quiet sakura tree.

He was having trouble doing his math because he was so upset,when a tiny,cream-colored hand tapped his shoulder."Need some help?"asked Serna,sitting down next to him.

"Thank you."replied Takeru smiling warmly at her.

They spent the next 45 minutes doing their math and joking around,and then spent 15 minutes just talking.Takeru liked this girl.She was very nice and a good listener.

He invited her over for dinner and she accepted.They walked to his house after school,laughing.

Hikari stomped across the road and into Takeru's yard.Even though she hated Takeru,for some reason she couldn't stop hating that girl for spending all day with him.She climbed up his tree and peered in Takeru's bedroom window.She gasped when she saw the entire family,including Yamato and....Sora, were there,playing some sort of board game with Serna.It was obvious they all liked her.

She pouted,then realized what she was doing and scampered out of the tree and ran home.

Who is this mysterious Serna Tomoe?And what does she want with Takeru?Stay tuned to find out!

Gomen nasai,I've always wanted to say that.

That was a bit longer,but the next'll be even longer!

Please review!

I'll write more soon!
