Once Upon A Velvet Moon: Chapter 3
All Together, But For How Long?
5 years later
~Kari~
Today is the day Mimi disappeared. I remember when Tai had told me that the police had announced that she was dead. It bothers me still, but not as much.
~*Flashback*~
Tai came walking into my room. He was looking down at the ground.
"Hey Tai, what's the matter?" I asked standing up next to him.
"Kari, I... Kari I was at Sora's house today and she got a phone call. It was Mimi's mom. They said they found something." Tai looked into my eyes.
"Do you mean they found Mimi?" I said. Hope was evident in my eyes.
"You could kinda say that. What really happened is, they called off the search Kari. They say Mimi's dead. They found what they think is her body in a creek 1 miles away from us. I'm sorry Kari. I'm the leader. I was suppose to help you all, and I let one of the most important people on our team go. I'm so sorry. I failed." Tai said as he broke down.
We held each other. Crying in each other's arms. I couldn't believe it. Mimi's gone. She's really gone.
~*End of Flashback*~
"OOOOOPS! Sorry T.K.", I said when I accidently bumped into him, causing me to lose my train of thought. "Thats o.k. Kari. I just wanted to know if I could walk you home?" He asked. "Sure!" I replied quickly. Over the years, T.K. and myself have become quite close. Much to the disagreeing Davis.
We were holding hands when we ran into Davis. You could tell he was jealous. He is so easy to read. He needs to learn how to hide at least some emotion. I think that's what Mimi did. But one can only hide something for so long, and then the whole world knows. I think we broke the dam that held that emotion up. I just can't believe that we, her closest friends could do that to her. Maybe we weren't worthy to be her friends, and it was just destiny's way of saying that. But then why was he punishing us with this guilt, this pain?
Davis walked right between us, so we could have no physical contact. Also breaking my train of thought. I'm kinda glad he did, if I had kept thinking the way I was, who knows what would happen. So we just talked about our day at high school. Then T.K. and Davis said good-bye as I walked into my house.
Tai was sitting on the couch watching t.v. I wonder if he remembers what we did to our best friend. Tai was now going with Sora. Which most of us suspected would happen sooner or later. So when they announced that they were going out no one was really shocked. The phone rang and I picked it up.
"Hello? Kamiya residence." I amswered.
"Kari. It's Izzy. I got an email from Gennai today. He says that there's trouble. He also said that we'll be getting 2 new helpers." He finished and told me to get Tai and meet him at the park in one hour. Then he hung up. Probably to call the others.
More digidestined. Just the thought makes me feel strange. I didn't think that we'd be getting. Our group was big enough, but then again, we always need help fighting some evil digimon. I just want to get this over with.
"Tai! Get your lazy butt up! Izzy said that the Digital World needs our help again." I said packing a bag that should have enough supplies to help us. I walked into the living room and saw Tai asleep on the couch. Drooling and saying something that included Sora. My brother the helpless sleepy romantic.
I picked up a glass of water and hoped that the thing that he called his hair wouldn't drink it before it reached his face. I dumped the contents of the cup on his head, and watched him sputter to life.
"You know, you could of just shaken me." He said grumpily.
"And you could just move out." I shot back. I smiled and he went into his room to change his shirt. I went into the kitchen and got some some food and stuck it in my half way full bag of things. I walked out and patted my pocket to make sure I still had my digivice on me. I did and I felt my crest around my neck. Gennai was kind enough to make us new crests.
I saw Tai and we walked out the door.
"Well we're going back. What do you think it is this time Tai? Do you think it could another human like Ken? Or another evil digimon attack." I asked him.
"I hope it's a evil digimon. That way we can at least know that we can fight it." Tai said as we came in view of the park. I saw some figures standing around. They were all there. We were the last ones to arrive.
"Is everyone ready?" Matt asked as we walked up to the group. I looked around and stood next to T.K. who softly grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I smiled up at him and squeezed back.
Colors surronded us and then we started to float. Then I saw nothing.
~Mimi~
I blew a strand of blue hair out of my eyes. I don't know how they made me die my hair, blue is not my color. I walked outside after band practice. The cold air felt good against my skin. I was so hot. We had been practicing all day and that room was just getting a little bit crowded and hot. The band was really pushing me hard. I had to get away. I turned around and started to head back to get my stuff, when I saw Moto-chan and Tsumi-chan kissing. They had been married for a year. I was so happy for them. Motoki eventually found out that Tsunami and I were sisters, even though he knows what my real name is he still calls me Hami-chan. He thinks its cute. His Hami-chan and Tsumi-chan. When they got married over all our relationships with each other had gotten better.
I smiled weakly and walked towards them. Just when I was about to say something, 2 objects fell from the sky and landed infront of them. I saw them glow and knew exactly what they were.
"The Digi World it needs my help." I said as I walked up to them. They were bending over to pick the objects. I saw that instead of 2 objects it was 4. They also had crests.
"What are these things?" I heard Tsumi ask.
"That's a digivice and that's a crest." I said pointing to what was held in their hands.
"How do you know?" Motoki asked, looking at me, searching my eyes for an answer.
"I have them too." I pulled mine out and showed them. Just then a bright light engulfed us and then the world around us faded.
"What's happening?" Tsumi yelled as she gripped onto Motoki. Her dyed green was floating around her as, I was sure, mine was too. I just smiled and closed my eyes. Letting the old emotion that I pushed into the farthest closet in my mind, come out and wash over me.
"It feels good, to remember." I said and then it went black.
~Matt~
I woke up and looked around me. I was in Gennai's house. I was sure of it. I looked around and then got up. Looks like I was the first one to wake up. Walking out the door I saw Yolei looking out the windows. She was fascinated at the fish I guess. Walking past her, I saw Gennai.
"Hello Friendship." he looked at me or at least I think he looked at me.
"Hey Gennai." I said back.
"How many of the others are awake Gennai?" Yolei said drawing her attention away from the fish, and coming towards us.
"Oh I think only Light, Reliability, Love and Hope are awake right know. I saw them earlier they went to round up the digimon." He stated.
"Oh well then, what did you call us here for." Yolei asked. She really was acting differently, but then again we were all acting strange ever since Mimi left.
'I should of told her when I had the chance. Then maybe she would still be here.' I told myself. Even when the others said she was dead, I refused to believe what they were saying. Saying that Mimi was dead was like saying that Kari and T.K. were evil.
Shaking my head, I heard the digimon plus Sora, Kari, T.K., and Joe. When they walked in Gabumon ran straight for me.
"Matt! When Gennai told me that you were coming, I got so happy." He explained. I just smiled and nodded. Tai and Izzy walked in followed by Cody and Davis.
"Glad to see you all are awake. Now to get down to business. You all know why I summoned you here. There is a new evil here. It is so powerful that not only you can defeat it. You'll need the help of 2 others." He said. Wow, was he in for a suprise.
"Gennai. You have to make that 3 people. Mimi died 5 years ago." Sora said. Palmon started crying and Gennai made a face and then started talking again.
"Hmmm, I'll have to check up on that, but until I do you will have to take Palmon with you. She might be of some assistance to you." I just stared at him and nodded my head.
"Now, your mission is to go to the Corelu Temple and get the other two digdestined, before it's too late. The evil has already been preparing for this battle and they know everything that we know and they may know more. All I can tell you is to never let your guard down and when you find those two make sure they are safe! They are a vital part of this mission." Gennai said looking at everyone.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Davis said as Veemon jumped up and down.
"Lets go get those two!" Tai yelled and Agumon was pretending to 'Pepper Breath' some invisable enemy. We all began to walk out the door when Gennai said to come back after we got the new digidestined.
'Mimi, if your actually out there. Maybe we'll see each other in the Digital World. Anything can happen, I just you'll come back.'
"Oh and one more thing." Gennai said as we were all heading out the door.
"Not all things are as they seem."
~Mimi~
I woke up to the sound of Tsumi crying and Moto-chan shaking me. Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes and hear Tsumi gasp and hug me. She was hugging me so hard I couldn't breathe.
"Um, excuse me Tsumi-chan. I can't breathe." I managed to get that part out and then she let go. She smiled and exhaled.
"It's just that I thought you were dead. Never do that to me again, do you hear me?" She yelled. I cautiously looked around to make sure nothing heard her. I really didn't like the idea of fighting a giant digimon without any digimon of my own.
"Okay, okay. I heard you just keep your voice down. Number one rule in the Digital World: Never raise your voice louder than you need to unless you are in a battle or you are really sure that there aren't any other evil digimon around you. Do you hear me?" I asked her. Actually it was more like a command. I really wasn't in the mood.
"How do you know what this place is called?" Moto-chan asked. I really had a major headache and he was asking me a question.
"I've been here several times before. Now no more questions. We just need to figure out where we are." I said, taking up the position as leader. Well actually I was the only one fit for it. I knew a lot more about digimon and the DigiWorld than they did.
"Why am I here? I left you behind, why are you bringing me too you again?" I whispered to myself. I say them look at me, but I only smiled sheepishly and started to walk ahead.
"Okay, I agree. The sooner we find out the sooner we get out of this place." Tsumi said. She ignored what I said I guess and concentrated on the problem at hand. But if I know Tsumi, I'll be listening to her later about how I shouldn't talk to myself. Just than one of Gennai's many holographic picture thingys decided to pop up. Scaring Moto-chan and Tsumi.
"Sincerity? The others said you were dead. I figured as much though. I would have known if you had died." Gennai said.
"If its not to much to ask Gennai, I'd like to stay dead. I don't know if I can stand the thought of having to go through that pain again." I wnhispered looking at him as he nodded his head.
"Fine then, what shall I call you?" He asked, I didn't understand. At my questioning glance, I guess he got what I meant so he continued talking.
"Well, you can't go back to your world, your needed here and besides, somehow the new evil has blocked all travel threw the worlds. So you can't go back, so what will your name be?" He asked again.
"Hanami. Hanami Tsukamoto. Thats the name I've been going by for the last 5 years." I replied that rely paying attention to what he said after that. I was too busy thinking. Thinking about how, after all this time I still wasn't ready to face them. I was ready to face them, the pain or myself. Hanami Tsukamoto was just a barrier I had put up to black out Mimi Tachikawa. She was only there because I was a coward. I stopped thinking long enough to hear Tsumi ask a question.
"Where are our rooms?" Tsumi asked as Moto-chan was helping her up from the floor.
"Your rooms are located in the middle of the temple. Oh, I almost forgot I have to tell you something. 1: The other digidestined are coming to get you and bring you your digimon Sincerity. 2:You must never go outside until they come for you. If you do then you will instantly be attacked by evil digimon. 3: The digimon in this temple will also give you two your digimon ad 4: You two will find your digimon when you find your rooms. 5: You will be the new Sincerity, Mi-Hanami. I'll tell the digidestined that you are no longer living and that you have come to be the new Sincerity. Palmon will still be your digimon. If you tell her your secret is entirely up to you. Well see you soon. Oh yeah and Sincerity, you'll see some old friends. This place is like a shelter for digimon. Gotta go, the water is boiling over. Bye!" Gennai blinked out and I would see the wall.
"Hami-chan, come on. Let's get out of here. We'll try and find those digimon things that old man was talking about. Okay, and when we get back home we can go shopping. How's that sound?" The offer was just so great I couldn't refuse. It wasn't an everyday thing that Motoki would offer to take me shopping.
Standing up, we started walking. About an hour after walking, we stopped and heard a noise. We turned around there was Sukamon and Chuumon right behind us.
"Hey two hot girls! This must be heaven!" Sukamon said.
"If this is heaven then they'll go out with us!" Chuumon said. I just couldn't stand them. Why did all the ugly digimon have to like me. Why was I cursed with my beauty? Well at least I don't have to share my torment alone, Tsunami was here to share the pain too.
"Hey girls will you give me a kiss?" Sukamon asked.
"No way I'd never give you a kiss!" Tsumi yelled.
"Why don't you ever leave me alone!?" I yelled kicking them as far away from me as I could.
"Wow. Nice kick Hami-chan." Moto-chan congratulated me.
"You've dealt with them before I take it." Tsumi said. I only nodded. We began walking again and Motoki stopped.
"Did you here that?" I strained my ears and finally after a minute of searching I heard it.
"Princess Mimi! Where are you?" I sighed in relief. It was only a Gekomon.
"Over here!" I yelled, causing some glances from Tsumi and Motoki.
"Long story." Was the only reply they got from me. I ran towards the voice and then a Gekomon jumped in my arms.
"Oh, Princess Mimi. I'm so happy to see you again. You don't know how happy I am to see you." I smiled and hugged him.
"Huh? Princess Mimi?" I heard his confusion and turned around and saw Tsumi and Moto-chan behind me.
"Oh, that's my twin sister Tsunami and my brother Motoki. Oh and you have to promise that you won't call me Princess Mimi infront of the other digidestined. You'll call me Hanami. Okay?" I smiled. I loved the Digital World, but the one thing that scared me was the ones that came with it. The ones I wasn't ready to face yet.
~Sora~
I was so full of guilt, when I thought of how Mimi was dead. Why she was dead. Why did Destiny have to torture us, me, for so long?
"Sora? Are you okay?" Biyomon asked me when we took a break. I looked at her and smiled.
"Of course I am Biyo. I'm just thinking. That's all." She sat down next to me and rested her head on my arm.
"About what?" She asked me while messing with the chain thing around her leg.
"Just about the past. Nothing big." I reassured her.
"You know Kari, told Gatomon what happened and then Gatomon told us. Sora I know what happened." She looked up at me. I couldn't believe this. I looked over to the girl that was sitting next to T.K. and Davis. She was laughing softly. It wasn't hard to see that she would tell her digimon companion what happened.
"Why didn't you tell me Sora? I thought you told me everthing." She sounded kinda hurt, I just couldn't stand the tone in her voice. As I was about to reply to her, a voice stopped me.
"Hello digidestined." Gennai greeted us.
"Gennai? WHat are you doing here?" Izzy asked and looked up from his laptop.
"I'm here to tell you some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to here first?" He asked.
"The last time you asked us that Myotismon was about to go to our world." Joe muttered and I smiled weakly.
"How about the bad news. I always like to here bad news first and then the good." Cody said.
"Okay here goes. You were right Sincerity is gone. She is not with us anymore." He said. All my hope was gone, when he said those words, I just couldn't stand to hear what he was saying, I broke into tears and I slide down the trunk of a tree. I closed my eyes and heard Biyomon try and comfort me as well as Tai. I briefly looked over at Palmon who was silently talking to Gennai with tears in her eyes.
"Are you ready for the good news?" He asked softly. We all looked at each other and nodded our heads.
"Okay, a new Sincerity is ready to take her place. It seems my superiors already knew about this tragic turn of events and prepared. She is now waiting for you along with the other digidestined at Corelu Temple. Please hurry once you complete this your mission will begin." With those word said he vansished. For once he wasn't talking in riddles, but I wish he was. For a long time we all sat in silence. It was broken when Tai got up and began to walk around.
"Alright everyone! Break is over! We only have at least 2 hours travel left, and we can't sit here moping about the past. I know we all have the right to be sad right now, but while we're sitting around here, some evil digimon is running around causing chaos." Silence was Tai's only reply.
"Aw! Come on everyone!" Agumon coaxed.
"You know what they say. No pain no gain." Davis said standing next to Tai. We all know why he sucks up to Tai. He wants to be Kari's boyfriend, so a way into Kari's heart is through her brother. He is so desperate.
"You tell 'em Davis!" Veemon joined in. I slowly got up, as did everyone else. We started our journey to Corelu. Our journey to the new digidestined.
~Motoki~
We finally were lead to our rooms. On the way though, more of those funny looking tadpole and frog mutations showed up. Hami-chan seemed to be enjoying herself. She said it was just seeing old friends. When she said that I relaxed a little. At least I know they are not going to attack us.
"How are you handling all of this?" I asked Tsumi as I circled my arms around her waist. She rested her head against my chest and sighed.
"As well as can be expected. At least we did have an easier time than Hami-chan did when she first got here." I replied. Hami-chan had told us she was sent to this Digital World when she was 11 and she was attacked as soon as she got there.
"We're so glad your here!" A voice yelled from the shadows. Something jumped on my head and something jumped into Tsumi's hands.
"Motoki! We're finally getting the chance to meet each other. Oh ::sigh:: I think I'm going to faint! All these emotions!" I looked up to see a mutated purple rabbit on my head. He had a little yellow star on top of his head and was looking straight at me.
"Okay. I am seriously going to consider therapy now." I said as I picked the rabbit thing off my head and held it at arms length. It was about 3 and a half feet, but was surprisingly light.
"I'm Galomon! Nice to meet you!" It stuck out it's hand and I just nodded.
"Nice to meet you too." I said. A sqeal interupted my thoughts.
"You are just so kawaii!" Tsumi giggled and hugged what I think is a plant in front of her.
"I'm glad you think that! I'm Aruraumon!" The plant giggled back. It was green with a silver flower on top of it's head, and it had black eyes.
"Tsumi? Moto? Are you in here?" I heard Hami-chan call.
"In here!" I yelled. She walked in and squealed at the sight of Aruraumon. She skipped over and started hugging her. I had never seen her like this before. Maybe it was just this Digital World or something, but she seems, how can I make it seem nice? Oh, ditzy, that's the word.
"You look just like Palmon! Except your flower is silver and your eyes are black." She sighed looking at Tsumi's digi-what-cha-ma-call-its.
"You know Palmon? She's my sister!" Aruruamon said. Hami's eyes lit and she sighed. A knock on the door broke her from her memories.
"Will the two knew digidestined and their digimon follow me?" A Otamamamon or whatever said. We followed leaving Hami by herself. He led us to a throne room or something and told us to wait here. I sighed and began to chat with Galomon.
~T.K.~
When we got inside the temple, we met up with an Otamamon who eventually (after much persuation from Yolei) lead us to a large room where 4 other people were standing. Actually it was more like 2 people and 2 digimon. I noticed right away that one of them looked like Mimi. She was talking to a digimon that looked kinda like Palmon.
"Aruraumon!" Palmon screamed as she ran toward the other digimon. The Palmon-look alike looked up and started running toward Palmon. They hugged each other and started crying.
"It's been so long." Aruraumon said, and Palmon nodded.
"Let's always keep in touch, okay?" This time it was Aruraumon's turn to nod.
"Let me introduce ourselves. I do belive you are the other Digidestined people right?" The guy said somewhat with an attitude. Tai and Davis both nodded. Is it just me or is everyone doing a lot of nodding lately?
"My name is Motoki Shibata. This is my digimon Galomon. Next to me is my wife Tsunami Shibata and as you know that is her digimon Aruraumon." Motoki finished and smiled. I looked over at Matt who had paled. Mimi and him were a thing. That is before she left. I guess he was hoping that Mimi was here.
Just when I was about to say something, a scream erupted through the halls.
"Hami-chan!" Motoki was about to run out the room, but then stopped and began to run the other way. Closely followed by Galomon, Tsunami, Palmon, and Aruraumon. A figure with long blue hair entered the room screaming, closely followed by a large group of Numemon, a Sukamon, and a Chuumon.
"Why won't you guys stop following me!" The girl yelled as the group of filth digimon began to speed up.
"Oh, just give us a kiss and a date! That's all we ask for!" A Numemon said. The girl screamed even louder and left the room, and soon re-entered the room through the door she originally came in with.
"Hami-chan!" Tsunami screamed and started to run beside the girl. The girl looked over and smiled slightly.
"Tsumi you have to help me! Make someone hurry up and help me!" As soon as those words left the blue haired girl's mouth, Tsunami grabbed her hand and the jumped from infront of the on-coming digimon, which left them dazed and confused. They didn't have time to react and ran straight into the wall infront of them.
"Hami-chan!" Motoki yelled running over to her. I heard the girl giggle as he gave her hug after hug.
"Um, excuse us, but which one of you has the crest of Sincerity?" Sora asked. "Hami-chan" looked up and the laughter in her eyes quickly died. The laughter that was once there, disappeared and was replace with a swirling abyss of emotions. I could only see regret, and confusion.
"Who are you?" She whispered quitely Tsunami and Motoki stepped away from her.
~Mimi~
"Mimi?"
When I saw them I couldn't believe it at first. Then I started to become angry, and confused and so many other emotions whirled through my head. I just couldn't contain them all. I just felt like crying all over again. I wanted nothing but to run away from the ones that caused me pain.
"Who are you?" I felt Moto-chan and Tsumi-chan walk away from me. I was kinda glad they did, but at the same time I was angry at them. She looked kinda hurt but she kept her composure. She walked up to me and looked at the crest around my neck. She looked me in the eyes and at first I thought she was going to reconize me but then she motioned Palmon over towards us.
"Whats your name?" She asked me and I looked behind me and say that Tsumi was looking at me with worry in her eyes. She gave me a small smile and I turned back and looked at her started to speak.
"My name? My name is Hanami Tsukamoto." I gave myself sort of a American accent and looked at Palmon beside her.
"Well Hanami, this is your digimon, Palmon. She was the digimon of the former digidestined of Sincerity, a very good friend of ours." She motioned to the people behind her and i tilted my head to look at them. I smirked when I saw they all had this dejected look on their faces. I looked back at Sora and was almost taken back when I saw her face. She was giving me this look like if I tried anything I was as good as dead. I unconsiously took a step back and smiled weakly.
"Well since you know my name could you possibly tell me yours?" I asked with just a little bit of venom in it.
"Why would like to know?" She snapped back at me. I glared at her and felt the anger in my heart rise by just staring at her.
"Well um geez, I just don't know. Maybe um because of the fact that I'm gonna be with you guys for like as long as I have to be here!" I yelled, furious that she could act that way and at the fact she was becoming just a little bit dense. She gave me a sheepish look and blushed. I just looked at her annoyed and shook my head.
My name is Sora Takenouchi and this is my digimon Biyomon. I'm also the digidestined of Love." She said while looking at Biyomon. After that I stopped paying attention, I already knew who everyone was so why listen to her? After she was finished a gekkomon came in and all showed us to our rooms. I sat in my room looking out the window with Palmon sitting in a chair across the room.
"Hey, um Palmon?" I asked looking over at her slowly. She looked up at me and walked over to me.
"Yes Hanami?" SHe asked me and I looked down at her.
"I have something to tell you. Please don't interrupt me while I'm talking okay?" She nooded and I took a deep breath.
"Palmon, I know all about the other Sincerity. I know all about Mimi, and what the other digidestined did to her." I took a deep breath and looked back at her.
"What do you mean Hanami?" She asked me.
"You see, I'm not who you think I am. I am the real Sincerity. The original. I *am* Mimi." I finished. She looked at me for a second and then at the glowing crest that laid on my chest and then trew herself in my arms.
"Oh Mimi! You don't know how good it feels for me to know your alive! When I heard you were dead, I didn't know how to take it. I just cried. Now that your alive, well its just great seeing you again! I can't wait to tell everyone your back!" She began to run out the door but I grabbed her arm and glared at her.
"I'm sorry Palmon, but you can't tell anyone I'm alive. I've been dead for all this time and I'd like to stay that way." I said strenly.
"But everyone is so miserable now. If I told them the truth then they'd be happy again!" She exlaimed.
"Well they should of thought of that before they decieded to betray me." I said looking her in the yes. I knew she knew what I was talking about. By now at least one of them would have told their digimon and then everyone would know.
"Mi-"
"My name isn't Mimi anymore. Its Hanami. You can call me Hami or something like that okay? Thats what all my closest friends call me." I smiled and she smiled up at me. We hugged one last time and then left to meet everyone. We already were late but who cares? Not like I care about them or anything. Right?
~Palmon~
We had so much to catch up on and so much to talk about. I was telling her some funny things that happened to Gabumon and Agumon when we enetered the meeting room. We must of walked in loud because when we walked in everyone turned to look at us.
"Why are you so late? We were practically about to come and get you!" Matt exploded. Mimi aka "Hanami" just looked at him and sat next to Tsunami.
"You never said what time to be here. You just said show up, and thats what I did. Now if you wanted me here by a certain time you should of said so in the first place." She said calmly leaning her elbows on the table.
"You should of known though! If everyone else was here on time then don't you think that everyone including you knew what time to be here?" He asked. I hadn't seen Matt this mad in a long time, but then again I hadn't seen Matt in a long time.
"Matt, don't blame her. It was my fault too." I stated clamly, he didn't turn to look at me he just continued glaring at Mimi.
"Palmon don't get into this!" He yelled at and then Mimi lost her cool.
"Don't tell Palmon tell Palmon to shut up!" She yelled.
"Don't tell me what to do!" He shot back.
"Don't yell at Hami-chan unless you want a death wish!" Motoki yelled getting into the fight. They all glared at each other and then finally Mimi smirked.
"Well if you have a problem with me then I guess I'll just leave. Lets see how far you can get without a whole team. Come on Palmon. Tsumi-chan? Moto-chan are you coming with me?" She said as she stood up and began to follow.
"Palmon isn't going anywhere with you. How could Gennai pick you as being Sincerity?" Sora said talking for the first time. I saw hurt flash before her eyes, but it left quickly.
"Why don't we let Palmon choose who's she going to go with." She said. I really didn't want to be brought into this, but I knew this was going to happen eventually.
"Okay, but we all know who's she going to pick, so its really going to be a waste of time. Go on Palmon pick. Who are you going to stay with." She said smiling at me. I looked aroung the room, I looked at everyone. I looked at Mimi who had an apologetic look at her face and then I stood up and pushed in my chair. I just couldn't stay with someone who hated Mimi or what she was like even if they didn't know who she was.
"I'm sorry." I said and walked towards Mimi, Tsunami, Motoki, Aruruamon and Galomon.
"I have a responsiblity to the digidestined of Sincerity. I have to go with her, and besides she's not so bad when you get her know her." That was the last thing anyone said before our little group set off on its own. I just hope Mimi knows what she's doing.
Oh wow. That was long! If you actually read that then you are a good soul! I should have some action in my next chapter. :) Well gotta start on chapter 4! See ya!

Today is the day Mimi disappeared. I remember when Tai had told me that the police had announced that she was dead. It bothers me still, but not as much.
~*Flashback*~
Tai came walking into my room. He was looking down at the ground.
"Hey Tai, what's the matter?" I asked standing up next to him.
"Kari, I... Kari I was at Sora's house today and she got a phone call. It was Mimi's mom. They said they found something." Tai looked into my eyes.
"Do you mean they found Mimi?" I said. Hope was evident in my eyes.
"You could kinda say that. What really happened is, they called off the search Kari. They say Mimi's dead. They found what they think is her body in a creek 1 miles away from us. I'm sorry Kari. I'm the leader. I was suppose to help you all, and I let one of the most important people on our team go. I'm so sorry. I failed." Tai said as he broke down.
We held each other. Crying in each other's arms. I couldn't believe it. Mimi's gone. She's really gone.
~*End of Flashback*~
"OOOOOPS! Sorry T.K.", I said when I accidently bumped into him, causing me to lose my train of thought. "Thats o.k. Kari. I just wanted to know if I could walk you home?" He asked. "Sure!" I replied quickly. Over the years, T.K. and myself have become quite close. Much to the disagreeing Davis.
We were holding hands when we ran into Davis. You could tell he was jealous. He is so easy to read. He needs to learn how to hide at least some emotion. I think that's what Mimi did. But one can only hide something for so long, and then the whole world knows. I think we broke the dam that held that emotion up. I just can't believe that we, her closest friends could do that to her. Maybe we weren't worthy to be her friends, and it was just destiny's way of saying that. But then why was he punishing us with this guilt, this pain?
Davis walked right between us, so we could have no physical contact. Also breaking my train of thought. I'm kinda glad he did, if I had kept thinking the way I was, who knows what would happen. So we just talked about our day at high school. Then T.K. and Davis said good-bye as I walked into my house.
Tai was sitting on the couch watching t.v. I wonder if he remembers what we did to our best friend. Tai was now going with Sora. Which most of us suspected would happen sooner or later. So when they announced that they were going out no one was really shocked. The phone rang and I picked it up.
"Hello? Kamiya residence." I amswered.
"Kari. It's Izzy. I got an email from Gennai today. He says that there's trouble. He also said that we'll be getting 2 new helpers." He finished and told me to get Tai and meet him at the park in one hour. Then he hung up. Probably to call the others.
More digidestined. Just the thought makes me feel strange. I didn't think that we'd be getting. Our group was big enough, but then again, we always need help fighting some evil digimon. I just want to get this over with.
"Tai! Get your lazy butt up! Izzy said that the Digital World needs our help again." I said packing a bag that should have enough supplies to help us. I walked into the living room and saw Tai asleep on the couch. Drooling and saying something that included Sora. My brother the helpless sleepy romantic.
I picked up a glass of water and hoped that the thing that he called his hair wouldn't drink it before it reached his face. I dumped the contents of the cup on his head, and watched him sputter to life.
"You know, you could of just shaken me." He said grumpily.
"And you could just move out." I shot back. I smiled and he went into his room to change his shirt. I went into the kitchen and got some some food and stuck it in my half way full bag of things. I walked out and patted my pocket to make sure I still had my digivice on me. I did and I felt my crest around my neck. Gennai was kind enough to make us new crests.
I saw Tai and we walked out the door.
"Well we're going back. What do you think it is this time Tai? Do you think it could another human like Ken? Or another evil digimon attack." I asked him.
"I hope it's a evil digimon. That way we can at least know that we can fight it." Tai said as we came in view of the park. I saw some figures standing around. They were all there. We were the last ones to arrive.
"Is everyone ready?" Matt asked as we walked up to the group. I looked around and stood next to T.K. who softly grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I smiled up at him and squeezed back.
Colors surronded us and then we started to float. Then I saw nothing.
~Mimi~
I blew a strand of blue hair out of my eyes. I don't know how they made me die my hair, blue is not my color. I walked outside after band practice. The cold air felt good against my skin. I was so hot. We had been practicing all day and that room was just getting a little bit crowded and hot. The band was really pushing me hard. I had to get away. I turned around and started to head back to get my stuff, when I saw Moto-chan and Tsumi-chan kissing. They had been married for a year. I was so happy for them. Motoki eventually found out that Tsunami and I were sisters, even though he knows what my real name is he still calls me Hami-chan. He thinks its cute. His Hami-chan and Tsumi-chan. When they got married over all our relationships with each other had gotten better.
I smiled weakly and walked towards them. Just when I was about to say something, 2 objects fell from the sky and landed infront of them. I saw them glow and knew exactly what they were.
"The Digi World it needs my help." I said as I walked up to them. They were bending over to pick the objects. I saw that instead of 2 objects it was 4. They also had crests.
"What are these things?" I heard Tsumi ask.
"That's a digivice and that's a crest." I said pointing to what was held in their hands.
"How do you know?" Motoki asked, looking at me, searching my eyes for an answer.
"I have them too." I pulled mine out and showed them. Just then a bright light engulfed us and then the world around us faded.
"What's happening?" Tsumi yelled as she gripped onto Motoki. Her dyed green was floating around her as, I was sure, mine was too. I just smiled and closed my eyes. Letting the old emotion that I pushed into the farthest closet in my mind, come out and wash over me.
"It feels good, to remember." I said and then it went black.
~Matt~
I woke up and looked around me. I was in Gennai's house. I was sure of it. I looked around and then got up. Looks like I was the first one to wake up. Walking out the door I saw Yolei looking out the windows. She was fascinated at the fish I guess. Walking past her, I saw Gennai.
"Hello Friendship." he looked at me or at least I think he looked at me.
"Hey Gennai." I said back.
"How many of the others are awake Gennai?" Yolei said drawing her attention away from the fish, and coming towards us.
"Oh I think only Light, Reliability, Love and Hope are awake right know. I saw them earlier they went to round up the digimon." He stated.
"Oh well then, what did you call us here for." Yolei asked. She really was acting differently, but then again we were all acting strange ever since Mimi left.
'I should of told her when I had the chance. Then maybe she would still be here.' I told myself. Even when the others said she was dead, I refused to believe what they were saying. Saying that Mimi was dead was like saying that Kari and T.K. were evil.
Shaking my head, I heard the digimon plus Sora, Kari, T.K., and Joe. When they walked in Gabumon ran straight for me.
"Matt! When Gennai told me that you were coming, I got so happy." He explained. I just smiled and nodded. Tai and Izzy walked in followed by Cody and Davis.
"Glad to see you all are awake. Now to get down to business. You all know why I summoned you here. There is a new evil here. It is so powerful that not only you can defeat it. You'll need the help of 2 others." He said. Wow, was he in for a suprise.
"Gennai. You have to make that 3 people. Mimi died 5 years ago." Sora said. Palmon started crying and Gennai made a face and then started talking again.
"Hmmm, I'll have to check up on that, but until I do you will have to take Palmon with you. She might be of some assistance to you." I just stared at him and nodded my head.
"Now, your mission is to go to the Corelu Temple and get the other two digdestined, before it's too late. The evil has already been preparing for this battle and they know everything that we know and they may know more. All I can tell you is to never let your guard down and when you find those two make sure they are safe! They are a vital part of this mission." Gennai said looking at everyone.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Davis said as Veemon jumped up and down.
"Lets go get those two!" Tai yelled and Agumon was pretending to 'Pepper Breath' some invisable enemy. We all began to walk out the door when Gennai said to come back after we got the new digidestined.
'Mimi, if your actually out there. Maybe we'll see each other in the Digital World. Anything can happen, I just you'll come back.'
"Oh and one more thing." Gennai said as we were all heading out the door.
"Not all things are as they seem."
~Mimi~
I woke up to the sound of Tsumi crying and Moto-chan shaking me. Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes and hear Tsumi gasp and hug me. She was hugging me so hard I couldn't breathe.
"Um, excuse me Tsumi-chan. I can't breathe." I managed to get that part out and then she let go. She smiled and exhaled.
"It's just that I thought you were dead. Never do that to me again, do you hear me?" She yelled. I cautiously looked around to make sure nothing heard her. I really didn't like the idea of fighting a giant digimon without any digimon of my own.
"Okay, okay. I heard you just keep your voice down. Number one rule in the Digital World: Never raise your voice louder than you need to unless you are in a battle or you are really sure that there aren't any other evil digimon around you. Do you hear me?" I asked her. Actually it was more like a command. I really wasn't in the mood.
"How do you know what this place is called?" Moto-chan asked. I really had a major headache and he was asking me a question.
"I've been here several times before. Now no more questions. We just need to figure out where we are." I said, taking up the position as leader. Well actually I was the only one fit for it. I knew a lot more about digimon and the DigiWorld than they did.
"Why am I here? I left you behind, why are you bringing me too you again?" I whispered to myself. I say them look at me, but I only smiled sheepishly and started to walk ahead.
"Okay, I agree. The sooner we find out the sooner we get out of this place." Tsumi said. She ignored what I said I guess and concentrated on the problem at hand. But if I know Tsumi, I'll be listening to her later about how I shouldn't talk to myself. Just than one of Gennai's many holographic picture thingys decided to pop up. Scaring Moto-chan and Tsumi.
"Sincerity? The others said you were dead. I figured as much though. I would have known if you had died." Gennai said.
"If its not to much to ask Gennai, I'd like to stay dead. I don't know if I can stand the thought of having to go through that pain again." I wnhispered looking at him as he nodded his head.
"Fine then, what shall I call you?" He asked, I didn't understand. At my questioning glance, I guess he got what I meant so he continued talking.
"Well, you can't go back to your world, your needed here and besides, somehow the new evil has blocked all travel threw the worlds. So you can't go back, so what will your name be?" He asked again.
"Hanami. Hanami Tsukamoto. Thats the name I've been going by for the last 5 years." I replied that rely paying attention to what he said after that. I was too busy thinking. Thinking about how, after all this time I still wasn't ready to face them. I was ready to face them, the pain or myself. Hanami Tsukamoto was just a barrier I had put up to black out Mimi Tachikawa. She was only there because I was a coward. I stopped thinking long enough to hear Tsumi ask a question.
"Where are our rooms?" Tsumi asked as Moto-chan was helping her up from the floor.
"Your rooms are located in the middle of the temple. Oh, I almost forgot I have to tell you something. 1: The other digidestined are coming to get you and bring you your digimon Sincerity. 2:You must never go outside until they come for you. If you do then you will instantly be attacked by evil digimon. 3: The digimon in this temple will also give you two your digimon ad 4: You two will find your digimon when you find your rooms. 5: You will be the new Sincerity, Mi-Hanami. I'll tell the digidestined that you are no longer living and that you have come to be the new Sincerity. Palmon will still be your digimon. If you tell her your secret is entirely up to you. Well see you soon. Oh yeah and Sincerity, you'll see some old friends. This place is like a shelter for digimon. Gotta go, the water is boiling over. Bye!" Gennai blinked out and I would see the wall.
"Hami-chan, come on. Let's get out of here. We'll try and find those digimon things that old man was talking about. Okay, and when we get back home we can go shopping. How's that sound?" The offer was just so great I couldn't refuse. It wasn't an everyday thing that Motoki would offer to take me shopping.
Standing up, we started walking. About an hour after walking, we stopped and heard a noise. We turned around there was Sukamon and Chuumon right behind us.
"Hey two hot girls! This must be heaven!" Sukamon said.
"If this is heaven then they'll go out with us!" Chuumon said. I just couldn't stand them. Why did all the ugly digimon have to like me. Why was I cursed with my beauty? Well at least I don't have to share my torment alone, Tsunami was here to share the pain too.
"Hey girls will you give me a kiss?" Sukamon asked.
"No way I'd never give you a kiss!" Tsumi yelled.
"Why don't you ever leave me alone!?" I yelled kicking them as far away from me as I could.
"Wow. Nice kick Hami-chan." Moto-chan congratulated me.
"You've dealt with them before I take it." Tsumi said. I only nodded. We began walking again and Motoki stopped.
"Did you here that?" I strained my ears and finally after a minute of searching I heard it.
"Princess Mimi! Where are you?" I sighed in relief. It was only a Gekomon.
"Over here!" I yelled, causing some glances from Tsumi and Motoki.
"Long story." Was the only reply they got from me. I ran towards the voice and then a Gekomon jumped in my arms.
"Oh, Princess Mimi. I'm so happy to see you again. You don't know how happy I am to see you." I smiled and hugged him.
"Huh? Princess Mimi?" I heard his confusion and turned around and saw Tsumi and Moto-chan behind me.
"Oh, that's my twin sister Tsunami and my brother Motoki. Oh and you have to promise that you won't call me Princess Mimi infront of the other digidestined. You'll call me Hanami. Okay?" I smiled. I loved the Digital World, but the one thing that scared me was the ones that came with it. The ones I wasn't ready to face yet.
~Sora~
I was so full of guilt, when I thought of how Mimi was dead. Why she was dead. Why did Destiny have to torture us, me, for so long?
"Sora? Are you okay?" Biyomon asked me when we took a break. I looked at her and smiled.
"Of course I am Biyo. I'm just thinking. That's all." She sat down next to me and rested her head on my arm.
"About what?" She asked me while messing with the chain thing around her leg.
"Just about the past. Nothing big." I reassured her.
"You know Kari, told Gatomon what happened and then Gatomon told us. Sora I know what happened." She looked up at me. I couldn't believe this. I looked over to the girl that was sitting next to T.K. and Davis. She was laughing softly. It wasn't hard to see that she would tell her digimon companion what happened.
"Why didn't you tell me Sora? I thought you told me everthing." She sounded kinda hurt, I just couldn't stand the tone in her voice. As I was about to reply to her, a voice stopped me.
"Hello digidestined." Gennai greeted us.
"Gennai? WHat are you doing here?" Izzy asked and looked up from his laptop.
"I'm here to tell you some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to here first?" He asked.
"The last time you asked us that Myotismon was about to go to our world." Joe muttered and I smiled weakly.
"How about the bad news. I always like to here bad news first and then the good." Cody said.
"Okay here goes. You were right Sincerity is gone. She is not with us anymore." He said. All my hope was gone, when he said those words, I just couldn't stand to hear what he was saying, I broke into tears and I slide down the trunk of a tree. I closed my eyes and heard Biyomon try and comfort me as well as Tai. I briefly looked over at Palmon who was silently talking to Gennai with tears in her eyes.
"Are you ready for the good news?" He asked softly. We all looked at each other and nodded our heads.
"Okay, a new Sincerity is ready to take her place. It seems my superiors already knew about this tragic turn of events and prepared. She is now waiting for you along with the other digidestined at Corelu Temple. Please hurry once you complete this your mission will begin." With those word said he vansished. For once he wasn't talking in riddles, but I wish he was. For a long time we all sat in silence. It was broken when Tai got up and began to walk around.
"Alright everyone! Break is over! We only have at least 2 hours travel left, and we can't sit here moping about the past. I know we all have the right to be sad right now, but while we're sitting around here, some evil digimon is running around causing chaos." Silence was Tai's only reply.
"Aw! Come on everyone!" Agumon coaxed.
"You know what they say. No pain no gain." Davis said standing next to Tai. We all know why he sucks up to Tai. He wants to be Kari's boyfriend, so a way into Kari's heart is through her brother. He is so desperate.
"You tell 'em Davis!" Veemon joined in. I slowly got up, as did everyone else. We started our journey to Corelu. Our journey to the new digidestined.
~Motoki~
We finally were lead to our rooms. On the way though, more of those funny looking tadpole and frog mutations showed up. Hami-chan seemed to be enjoying herself. She said it was just seeing old friends. When she said that I relaxed a little. At least I know they are not going to attack us.
"How are you handling all of this?" I asked Tsumi as I circled my arms around her waist. She rested her head against my chest and sighed.
"As well as can be expected. At least we did have an easier time than Hami-chan did when she first got here." I replied. Hami-chan had told us she was sent to this Digital World when she was 11 and she was attacked as soon as she got there.
"We're so glad your here!" A voice yelled from the shadows. Something jumped on my head and something jumped into Tsumi's hands.
"Motoki! We're finally getting the chance to meet each other. Oh ::sigh:: I think I'm going to faint! All these emotions!" I looked up to see a mutated purple rabbit on my head. He had a little yellow star on top of his head and was looking straight at me.
"Okay. I am seriously going to consider therapy now." I said as I picked the rabbit thing off my head and held it at arms length. It was about 3 and a half feet, but was surprisingly light.
"I'm Galomon! Nice to meet you!" It stuck out it's hand and I just nodded.
"Nice to meet you too." I said. A sqeal interupted my thoughts.
"You are just so kawaii!" Tsumi giggled and hugged what I think is a plant in front of her.
"I'm glad you think that! I'm Aruraumon!" The plant giggled back. It was green with a silver flower on top of it's head, and it had black eyes.
"Tsumi? Moto? Are you in here?" I heard Hami-chan call.
"In here!" I yelled. She walked in and squealed at the sight of Aruraumon. She skipped over and started hugging her. I had never seen her like this before. Maybe it was just this Digital World or something, but she seems, how can I make it seem nice? Oh, ditzy, that's the word.
"You look just like Palmon! Except your flower is silver and your eyes are black." She sighed looking at Tsumi's digi-what-cha-ma-call-its.
"You know Palmon? She's my sister!" Aruruamon said. Hami's eyes lit and she sighed. A knock on the door broke her from her memories.
"Will the two knew digidestined and their digimon follow me?" A Otamamamon or whatever said. We followed leaving Hami by herself. He led us to a throne room or something and told us to wait here. I sighed and began to chat with Galomon.
~T.K.~
When we got inside the temple, we met up with an Otamamon who eventually (after much persuation from Yolei) lead us to a large room where 4 other people were standing. Actually it was more like 2 people and 2 digimon. I noticed right away that one of them looked like Mimi. She was talking to a digimon that looked kinda like Palmon.
"Aruraumon!" Palmon screamed as she ran toward the other digimon. The Palmon-look alike looked up and started running toward Palmon. They hugged each other and started crying.
"It's been so long." Aruraumon said, and Palmon nodded.
"Let's always keep in touch, okay?" This time it was Aruraumon's turn to nod.
"Let me introduce ourselves. I do belive you are the other Digidestined people right?" The guy said somewhat with an attitude. Tai and Davis both nodded. Is it just me or is everyone doing a lot of nodding lately?
"My name is Motoki Shibata. This is my digimon Galomon. Next to me is my wife Tsunami Shibata and as you know that is her digimon Aruraumon." Motoki finished and smiled. I looked over at Matt who had paled. Mimi and him were a thing. That is before she left. I guess he was hoping that Mimi was here.
Just when I was about to say something, a scream erupted through the halls.
"Hami-chan!" Motoki was about to run out the room, but then stopped and began to run the other way. Closely followed by Galomon, Tsunami, Palmon, and Aruraumon. A figure with long blue hair entered the room screaming, closely followed by a large group of Numemon, a Sukamon, and a Chuumon.
"Why won't you guys stop following me!" The girl yelled as the group of filth digimon began to speed up.
"Oh, just give us a kiss and a date! That's all we ask for!" A Numemon said. The girl screamed even louder and left the room, and soon re-entered the room through the door she originally came in with.
"Hami-chan!" Tsunami screamed and started to run beside the girl. The girl looked over and smiled slightly.
"Tsumi you have to help me! Make someone hurry up and help me!" As soon as those words left the blue haired girl's mouth, Tsunami grabbed her hand and the jumped from infront of the on-coming digimon, which left them dazed and confused. They didn't have time to react and ran straight into the wall infront of them.
"Hami-chan!" Motoki yelled running over to her. I heard the girl giggle as he gave her hug after hug.
"Um, excuse us, but which one of you has the crest of Sincerity?" Sora asked. "Hami-chan" looked up and the laughter in her eyes quickly died. The laughter that was once there, disappeared and was replace with a swirling abyss of emotions. I could only see regret, and confusion.
"Who are you?" She whispered quitely Tsunami and Motoki stepped away from her.
~Mimi~
"Mimi?"
When I saw them I couldn't believe it at first. Then I started to become angry, and confused and so many other emotions whirled through my head. I just couldn't contain them all. I just felt like crying all over again. I wanted nothing but to run away from the ones that caused me pain.
"Who are you?" I felt Moto-chan and Tsumi-chan walk away from me. I was kinda glad they did, but at the same time I was angry at them. She looked kinda hurt but she kept her composure. She walked up to me and looked at the crest around my neck. She looked me in the eyes and at first I thought she was going to reconize me but then she motioned Palmon over towards us.
"Whats your name?" She asked me and I looked behind me and say that Tsumi was looking at me with worry in her eyes. She gave me a small smile and I turned back and looked at her started to speak.
"My name? My name is Hanami Tsukamoto." I gave myself sort of a American accent and looked at Palmon beside her.
"Well Hanami, this is your digimon, Palmon. She was the digimon of the former digidestined of Sincerity, a very good friend of ours." She motioned to the people behind her and i tilted my head to look at them. I smirked when I saw they all had this dejected look on their faces. I looked back at Sora and was almost taken back when I saw her face. She was giving me this look like if I tried anything I was as good as dead. I unconsiously took a step back and smiled weakly.
"Well since you know my name could you possibly tell me yours?" I asked with just a little bit of venom in it.
"Why would like to know?" She snapped back at me. I glared at her and felt the anger in my heart rise by just staring at her.
"Well um geez, I just don't know. Maybe um because of the fact that I'm gonna be with you guys for like as long as I have to be here!" I yelled, furious that she could act that way and at the fact she was becoming just a little bit dense. She gave me a sheepish look and blushed. I just looked at her annoyed and shook my head.
My name is Sora Takenouchi and this is my digimon Biyomon. I'm also the digidestined of Love." She said while looking at Biyomon. After that I stopped paying attention, I already knew who everyone was so why listen to her? After she was finished a gekkomon came in and all showed us to our rooms. I sat in my room looking out the window with Palmon sitting in a chair across the room.
"Hey, um Palmon?" I asked looking over at her slowly. She looked up at me and walked over to me.
"Yes Hanami?" SHe asked me and I looked down at her.
"I have something to tell you. Please don't interrupt me while I'm talking okay?" She nooded and I took a deep breath.
"Palmon, I know all about the other Sincerity. I know all about Mimi, and what the other digidestined did to her." I took a deep breath and looked back at her.
"What do you mean Hanami?" She asked me.
"You see, I'm not who you think I am. I am the real Sincerity. The original. I *am* Mimi." I finished. She looked at me for a second and then at the glowing crest that laid on my chest and then trew herself in my arms.
"Oh Mimi! You don't know how good it feels for me to know your alive! When I heard you were dead, I didn't know how to take it. I just cried. Now that your alive, well its just great seeing you again! I can't wait to tell everyone your back!" She began to run out the door but I grabbed her arm and glared at her.
"I'm sorry Palmon, but you can't tell anyone I'm alive. I've been dead for all this time and I'd like to stay that way." I said strenly.
"But everyone is so miserable now. If I told them the truth then they'd be happy again!" She exlaimed.
"Well they should of thought of that before they decieded to betray me." I said looking her in the yes. I knew she knew what I was talking about. By now at least one of them would have told their digimon and then everyone would know.
"Mi-"
"My name isn't Mimi anymore. Its Hanami. You can call me Hami or something like that okay? Thats what all my closest friends call me." I smiled and she smiled up at me. We hugged one last time and then left to meet everyone. We already were late but who cares? Not like I care about them or anything. Right?
~Palmon~
We had so much to catch up on and so much to talk about. I was telling her some funny things that happened to Gabumon and Agumon when we enetered the meeting room. We must of walked in loud because when we walked in everyone turned to look at us.
"Why are you so late? We were practically about to come and get you!" Matt exploded. Mimi aka "Hanami" just looked at him and sat next to Tsunami.
"You never said what time to be here. You just said show up, and thats what I did. Now if you wanted me here by a certain time you should of said so in the first place." She said calmly leaning her elbows on the table.
"You should of known though! If everyone else was here on time then don't you think that everyone including you knew what time to be here?" He asked. I hadn't seen Matt this mad in a long time, but then again I hadn't seen Matt in a long time.
"Matt, don't blame her. It was my fault too." I stated clamly, he didn't turn to look at me he just continued glaring at Mimi.
"Palmon don't get into this!" He yelled at and then Mimi lost her cool.
"Don't tell Palmon tell Palmon to shut up!" She yelled.
"Don't tell me what to do!" He shot back.
"Don't yell at Hami-chan unless you want a death wish!" Motoki yelled getting into the fight. They all glared at each other and then finally Mimi smirked.
"Well if you have a problem with me then I guess I'll just leave. Lets see how far you can get without a whole team. Come on Palmon. Tsumi-chan? Moto-chan are you coming with me?" She said as she stood up and began to follow.
"Palmon isn't going anywhere with you. How could Gennai pick you as being Sincerity?" Sora said talking for the first time. I saw hurt flash before her eyes, but it left quickly.
"Why don't we let Palmon choose who's she going to go with." She said. I really didn't want to be brought into this, but I knew this was going to happen eventually.
"Okay, but we all know who's she going to pick, so its really going to be a waste of time. Go on Palmon pick. Who are you going to stay with." She said smiling at me. I looked aroung the room, I looked at everyone. I looked at Mimi who had an apologetic look at her face and then I stood up and pushed in my chair. I just couldn't stay with someone who hated Mimi or what she was like even if they didn't know who she was.
"I'm sorry." I said and walked towards Mimi, Tsunami, Motoki, Aruruamon and Galomon.
"I have a responsiblity to the digidestined of Sincerity. I have to go with her, and besides she's not so bad when you get her know her." That was the last thing anyone said before our little group set off on its own. I just hope Mimi knows what she's doing.
Oh wow. That was long! If you actually read that then you are a good soul! I should have some action in my next chapter. :) Well gotta start on chapter 4! See ya!
~Mimi~
