Chapter 4

How Can We Succeed Without Him....and with

flying Bathtubs?!

Hawkmon squawked and stuffed his head under water to put it out. Now, he

finally started to wonder what the heck was going on. He looked at the sky,

and saw that thousands of random items were flying through the air....a

candy bar here, a desk there, a few dancing cows over there..... He was

about to wake up the others when he was stopped by getting hit over the head

with a metal feather. *I told you they were just random items...*

~-~*~*~*~*~

Hikari was almost put into the mental ward temporarily, as she was so deeply

terrified at what she had seen. But she wasn't mentally unstable, just in

shock. They finally just calmed her down with a cup of hot tea. They all

gathered in the hospitals kitchen, and cried together. Hikari finally

settled into hiccups and sat, quietly hiccuping, with an intense look of

sadness on her tired face. Tai put his arm around her shoulders and she

sighed. Then, she held out her arms and said, "I need a hug." and he hugged

her.

Miyako looked as if she could use a hug too, and Ken gladly obliged.

~*~*~*~*~

*the next day in the digiworld*

The digimon finally woke up and hurried to Gennai's. They found him in his

kitchen trying to make his fish some chocolate uh...I think I'll spare you

the details* and asked him what had happened.

Amazingly, he hadn't noticed because, quote, "He was playing twister with

his cat". Apparently, this didn't seem strange to the digimon, who had by

now long gotten used to his, uh, lifestyle. They explained what it appeared

like and he grew serious. He pulled out a laptop and started acting like he

wasn't an extremely silly person.

"I am sorry for not noticing this. I believe I know the reason for it. I was

about to send for you.

Apparently, many of your past enemies have finally reconfigured. And they

ALL are out for revenge on you and your partners. That silly explosion

probably had something to do with Etemon. You know how incredibly weird that

guy was." he explained. "You must contact your partners immediately."

~*~*~*~*~

*the next week in the real world*

Everyone stood around the casket in black and gray. All except for Mimi.

Always one for cheeriness, she had insisted that since he was in heaven, we

should be happy, so she dressed in white.

Hikari walked up to the coffin for her final look at her love, dressed in a

lacy, black satin dress she knew Takeru would have liked, only if it was a

brighter color. She looked at Takeru, who looked so peaceful,

even though very pale. She wished she would burst into tears, but she had

cried all her tears away last night. She sighed and looked at him in

complete and utter despair. And then the recession began. *is that the right

word?*

After the funeral, Hikari and Yamato remained at the gravesite for a long

while. Neither of them could bring themselves to shed a tear, though, as it

would be so Final. Finally, they're families led them away.

When Hikari was sitting on her bed in mournful silence, a sudden urgent

beep erupted from her laptop.

She groaned and checked her email. This was SO not a good time for mail.

It was even worse a time for THAT email.

Dear Hikari,

We need all of your help. We'll explain later. Oh, and because Takeru's

computer broke down, can you tell him for Patamon?

Your partner forever,

Gato

When she saw that, Hikari just sat on her bed in silence. "Can you tell TK?"

it kept repeating in her head.

'Tell TK....Tell TK.....TK.....' over and over and over... Finally, she

simply got up and walked numbly over to the computer, and

said, "Digiportopen." in a defeated whisper.

When she got to the digiworld, she saw everyone else was already there. She

saw that the digimon looked confused when they saw her. Patamon and Gatomon

flew up to her and Pata said urgently, "Where's TK?!" Hikari appeared

totally torn. She turned to her friends rather angrily. "You mean you expect

me to tell them?!" she cried. They looked VERY guilty. She sighed. "I-I

d-don't kn-know h-how t-to tell you th-this, b-but T-Ta-akeru's d-d-de-...."

she tried to force out, but just stammered on instead. Patamon now grew

intensively worried. "WHAT?!?!?!?" he screamed, before being quieted by

Gatomon.

She gulped. "H-he's d-dea-d-....*gulp* d- *Patamon screamed at her again*

HE'S DEAD!!!!!" she finally screeched, and collapsed in hysterics.

Now, I know it's short. But my time on the computer has been cut down, so I

haven't been able to continue very well, and my wordpad isn't accepted here

any longer, so I sent it to Kali.

Sakura Blossom!
