Once Upon A Velvet Moon
Patching Things Up
~3rd~
"Are they here yet?" A dark figure whispered. The wind blowing noiselessly through his combed blonde hair.
"Yes and they are all accounted for. Things are going as planned sir." The figure smiled slightly and walked towards a window and stared at the barren land in front of him.
"Fine then. Have someone tail the group with Sincerity in it. I want to know where she is going at all times." He whispered, not turning around to look at the digimon behind.
"As you wish master." The digimon replied smiling at his master's back.
"You may leave." The digimon disappeared in front of him and the figure was left alone in the room.
"What is your deal? Why do you care for her so much?" Another figure asked appearing where the digimon had disappeared.
"Once, a long time ago, she promised she would always be there for me. That was right before she saved my life and right after she helped the digidestined destroy Apocalamon. (A.N. I'm not sure if I spelled his name right, I know I didn't. Don't get mad onegai!) She was forced to leave me and I promised that day that I would stop at nothing to get her back. She promised she would always be mine, and I'll help her keep that promise." He whispered turning around to face the figure in front of him.
"Man! You have really flipped Onimon! You've turned a promise into an OBSSECION." The figure spoke while walking up to Onimon. Onimon merely glared at the figure before throwing her into a wall.
"Don't talk to me like that! You have no right to say that Yashamon!" He bellowed before regaining his composure.
"Soon, Sincerity. You will finally be mine. Just like you were meant to be. Just like you were." He laughed and soon he too disappeared from the room. Only the echoing of his laughter and Yashamon remained. And then the laughter left.
After what seemed like forever, Yashamon lifted herself off the ground and stared at the spot Onimon had just been at.
"Oh, Onimon. When will you find out that I can love you better than she ever could? I serve you and stand by your side always. Together we make up 'The Kuro Buzoku', 'The Dark Clan'. We belonged together. And just like you I'll do anything to make you understand what I'm feeling." Yashamon's eyes began to burn bright red and she began to fade away.
"I'd anything to make you understand! Even if it means getting rid of the one thing you really care about. The one thing that's stopping your true feelings from showing. I'll kill Sincerity if I have too!" She screamed as she disappeared.
~Galomon~
Well, after we left the other digidestined we all sorta just sat in Hanami's room for a little while. We were all quite, well that's before Hanami broke down crying. I was shocked at first, why should she be crying? She looked tough and rebellious when she was telling Matt off.
"Hami-chan, what's the matter?" Motoki said. Wow, my buddy the supportive one. Just like I knew he'd be. I'm so lucky, at least I'm not stuck with Matt as my partner. Gabumon must have it bad. Poor guy.
"They hate me! Even when they don't know who I am. Matt was just like this when we came the first time and everyone loved him! Dammit I even loved him! How is it when I act the same way, I get treated so..so.. I don't know how to describe it! Then Sora goes crazy and acts so evil and then ahhh!!! She acting like she did when....." She stopped at that and threw herself in Motoki's arms and cried. I hate those digidestined! Can't they see how fragile she is? If I ever see them again, well I'll just umm... let me get back to you on that one.
"Hami-chan. Tell us what happened, please. You've never told us too much about your past and now its causing you so much pain. Please tell us." Tsunami whispered rubbing Hanami's back. Wow, I never realized how good she looks until now. Maybe Motoki is gonna have some compettion. Once I digivolve, Tsunami will be putty in my hands. Hehehe. Wait I'm not suppose to be thinking about stuff like that. I'm not, but..., she's so hot! Oh just forget it!
"They betrayed me so much! You just don't know how much it hurt to find out, to realized your best friends, the people you thought cared about you the most besides your family, didn't know anything about you. I mean it wouldn't have been so bad if they had just not known about anything, but it's the fact that they hurt me. Sora snapped and hit me, I mean the blow really didn't hurt, I've had worse, but my best friend hit me. Then to top that off they all said I was conceited and spoiled and I didn't care about anyone but myself. Even my boyfriend believed that..." She trailed off and buried her head in Motoki's chest and cried even harder. She must be in so much pain. I swear I'll make sure none of them come near her again. I looked around the room and saw in everyone's faces that they were going to do the same thing.
"Mimi, who.. Who was your boyfriend? Was it who I think it is?" Palmon asked softly coming up besides Motoki. Hanami sniffed and looked up at Palmon.
"Yeah. Matt was my boyfriend." With those words said I say a blaze fire up in Motoki's eyes. Hehehe, someone's gonna get his but kicked before we leave. Yeah, a fight!
"Its okay Hami-chan. You get some sleep and we'll leave in a few hours okay? Now don't worry about anything. Moto-chan will take care of everything." He said helping Hanami up.
"Okay, just don't do anything stupid." She said to him.
"Me do something stupid? Never!" He smiled and looked away as Hanami gave him a look. She walked over to the bed with Palmon behind her. They both climbed on to the bed and laid down, as Tsunami, Aruruamon, Motoki and myself walked out of the room.
"Sleep tight Hanami." Tsunami whispered as she closed the door. Once the door was closed we all looked at Motoki who looked furious.
"I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna kill them all!" He ranted through clenched teeth. Tsunami put a had on his shoulder and he calmed downed *slightly*.
"I'm going with you. Just to make sure you don't do something we will all regret." Motoki looked at her as if she had grown another head. What was she talking about? Where was Motoki going? I probably already knew, yep I think I do.
"W-What are you talking about?" He stuttered. I started laughing and he glared at me. I think I do things at inappropriate moments, but hey that's why he likes me!
"We all know your going in there to yell at them all so why not do it together. Besides if I don't get away from Hami-chan she's going to make me depressed too." She spoke as we started to walk down the hall. After that none of us said anything, until we got to the room we knew the digidestined would be in.
"Ready?" I asked as everyone one nodded.
"Well then lets get angry! Starlight Attack." I whispered my attack so I would only have a little force behind it. I only wanted to open the door without touching it. Not destroy the it!
~Joe~
"Well that little outburst was certainly helpful!" I yelled as Hanami, Tsunami, Motoki and their digimon walked out the room. Matt just shrugged off what I said and that got me angrier.
"You can't keep doing this Matt! Your blocking out anything someone has to say to help you out." I stated as I looked at him.
"Just mind your own business Joe. No one told you to invade my privacy." He said silently not looking at me.
"See that's what I'm talking about!" I exploded. How could he be that way? I was only trying to help him and he goes stupid on me.
"Joe calm down." Sora told me, I just glared at her.
"Sora don't even talk to me." I told her and looked away from her shocked face.
"Joe what's the matter with you?" Gomamon asked me. I just looked at him and sighed.
"Its just that Gennai told us to come here and get them, but how are suppose to do that when we have people on the team that hate each other and want to rip each others eyes out first chance they get?" I asked as everyone got quiet.
"Joe's right. We can't act like this and now we've driven them away. We have to find them, they don't know where their going or what their getting themselves into." Ken said.
"She shouldn't act like that though! If everyone else was here then she should have been here too!" Matt exclaimed while Gabumon merely nodded his head.
"You have a point Matt, but still it doesn't give you a reason to yell at her like that!" Cody yelled, the boy did have a point but knowing Matt, he wasn't going to change his mind so quick.
"But that didn't give her the right to blow up like that! She could have just explained why she wasn't there and then there wouldn't be any of this before." Sora argued. This is totally not like her.
"Sora what is up with you! Your acting so not like yourself!" Tai yelled along with Biyomon.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? I'll tell you what's wrong with me! Hanami is what's wrong with me. She comes out of nowhere to replace Mimi! And you know why I have such a huge problem with her and this whole situation?! Its because I know I'm the one that cause Mimi to die and for Hanami to be here and I don't like to realize that my best friend is dead. Even after all these years I still can't come to terms with it." Sora said crying. I had no idea she still felt that way, and if Sora was acting that way then I know that Matt was still feeling the same way. None of us had been alright ever since Mimi left. It was like we all dropped into a huge depression and we've never been able to get out.
"Sora-" Yolei started but was interrupted when the door flew open and 4 figures stood in the doorway.
"You have no right to call yourselves digidestined." One of the small figures said which I figured out later that it was Galomon.
"What are you talking about, and what are you doing barging in like this? You could have just opened the door." Davis said standing up.
"How could you treat her like that? Gennai told us the whole story, and we knew the rest." Tsunami said as she walked into the room.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Matt exclaimed.
"We're talking about the former Sincerity. You killed her." Aruruamon said.
"We didn't kill her!" Kari yelled and Gatomon hopped onto the table.
"Oh yes you did. You killed her spirit the day you betrayed her and without a spirit you're virtually dead. You did kill her." Motoki said as e glared at all of us especially Matt and Sora.
"We knew her after you betrayed her, she was tired and hurt. We tried to help her but she refused our help and in turn, she ended up dying." Tsunami whispered as a tear silently fell down her face.
"We didn't do anything to hurt her. We didn't mean to!" Yolei cried as Izzy put a arm around her shoulder.
"You hurt her and then when one would think that you would change after you heard the gruesome news you turn around and hurt the second Sincerity too." Galomon spoke and then I bowed my head down and laid it down on the table. They were making so much sense. Were we destined to hurt the digidestined of Sincerity every time we got a new one. Were we really as cruel and evil as they made us seem?
"We hurt her?" Wormmon asked as he joined the conversation.
"Yes you hurt her and Palmon very deeply. I don't know if they'd ever be able to forgive you. I know I wouldn't." Aruruamon said while clenching her fists together in anger.
"I suggest you go in there and apologize to her if you know what's good for you." A new voice said from behind their group. They moved out of the way to reveal Palmon.
"Palmon what are you doing here?" Patamon asked as he flew towards her.
"She sent me to look for them and I heard what you were saying. If you all knew what I knew then you wouldn't be acting this way. But then again, maybe its better that she sees how you really are. If she hadn't seen who you really were then she might of actually started to like you all..." I didn't hear the last part of what she was saying because she said it in a whisper. I don't think she wanted any of us to here what she was saying.
"Gomamon, come on we're going to try and make at least some of this right." I said as we stood up and began to walk out the door.
"Palmon, what room is Hanami in?" I asked and she smiled up at me.
"Come on I'll show you which room she's in. I should of gone back to check up on her a little while ago anyway." She said as we started to walk out of the room. I heard footsteps behind us and turned my head to see that TK, Kari, Yolei, Ken, and just about everyone else. Everyone except Sora and Matt. I stopped and walked towards them.
"If you don't go now you may never forgive yourselves for what happened to Mimi. I know it still hurts but at least Destiny is giving us another chance to help someone else." I said as I left them with my words.
~Mimi/Hanami~
Palmon had been gone along time and I was beginning to get worried. I was just about to get up and see what taking so long when she walked into the room with the rest of the digidestined. My first reaction was to scream bloody murder then I wanted to cry then I wanted to runaway but something kept me where I was. Tsunami walked over to me and leaned to close to me.
"It wasn't my idea, it was Palmon's. Blame her." I glared at Tsumi and then at Palmon. I glared at them both and then I looked at the group of people in front of me.
"Look we wanted to say we're sorry for the way we all acted and especially how our friends acted towards you. They really aren't that bad once you get to know them, its just well you see..." T.K. started and then trailed off as Sora and Matt walked into the room. Davis saw this and sighed and continued were he left off.
"You see they are acting like total jerks because they miss our friend Mimi, and you see they probably don't want someone replacing them because they feel like no one could ever replace her and well she meant a lot to them and us. She was a digidestined a part of our team and... Well you understand it don't you? If not I'll try it a different way. See you wouldn't like it if your best friends filled your spot in when you were playing soccer even though you told them you weren't playing." He babbled. When he finally finished I had a major headache and his ignorance was painful. I thought at least he would have gotten smarter by now, but I guess not.
"Uh...ok..." Was all I said as I stared at them all in shock as they seemed to understand what the heck he was talking about.
"Look we're sorry about what we said to you its just that your replacing our friend and we don't know how to deal with it." Sora said finally after a long silence engulfed us. I smirked and flipped my hair behind my back and sat down on my bed.
"Well you should have thought about the consequences before you ran her away." Okay I know I was acting like a spoiled brat and I should have forgiven them but the temptation was just too great. Hey, she got what she deserved. I watched as her face along with many of the others changed all the colors of the rainbow. Red-with anger. Blue-with sadness. Green-(in Tai's case) with envy and Yellow-with cowardice. I don't know what half of the other colors came from but then again I didn't understand them in the first place. Finally their faces went back to their original colors.
"You know what?" Tai said as he and the others regained their composure.
"What?" I asked innocently as if I hadn't done anything wrong.
"You are so totally..." He stopped as he tried to search for the right word.
"Totally what?" Motoki asked from besides me. I almost jumped. I totally forgot they were there.
"Totally a digidestined!" He smiled and I saw Galomon and Tsumi breathe a sigh of relief. I would of done the same thing if he and Agumon hadn't yelled 'Group Hug!' and everyone tackled me including Matt and Sora. I could hardly breathe and being under a bunch of smelly people didn't help any.
"Can't....breathe...help!" I managed to get out and I waved what I could feel of my limbs as much as I could, which wasn't much. I could move my hand and my feet and even then I could hardly move them.
"Enough!" Aruruamon yelled as everyone got off of me and I began to breathe again. I threw her a grateful smile and then started to get off my bed.
"How about we all get a good night's sleep and then tomorrow we um.. well we just do something!" She said cheerfully and the "original" digidestined looked at her strangely. I think they were beginning to suspect that she was me or who I used to be.
"Um, yeah that's a great ides! How about we all do whatever tomorrow! I'm sure Gennai told you guys to come get us. So why not head back to him?" I said a little ditzy to think that being twins makes us act a little like each other. They all nodded their heads and walked out of my room. The only ones that remained were Tsumi, Moto-chan, their digimon and Palmon. Then soon only Palmon remained with me and then we went to bed, but before I drifted fully into my slumber I thought I saw a dark figure walked steadily towards and smiled. But when I opened my eyes wide enough, nothing was there.
~Aruruamon~
~*~The Next Day~*~
Gosh! How can someone sleep so long? Tsunami and Motoki are still sleeping. I didn't think it was possible to sleep so long. I wonder if they're dead... Oh my gosh! I think their dead! If they're dead then I won't have anyone to protect or a best friend anymore! I started crying and then Galomon came over to me.
"Why are you crying?" He asked me and I looked at him. I pointed to the dead-looking couple that laid on the bed and then I started to cry even harder.
"I..I.. I think they are dead!!!!!!!" I screamed and buried my head in his chest. I felt him start to shake and I felt something wet hit my flower. I looked up and Galomon was crying too.
"Their dead!! I just met him yesterday! I'm such a bad protector! I deserve to die!" He cried and we held onto each other and cried in the room. Just when I was about to cover them with a sheet, Hanami walked in with Palmon. Hanami saw what we were doing and walked over to us.
"What's the matter?" She asked. A fresh set of tears ran down my cheeks and Palmon took me into her arms.
"Shh. Don't cry Aruruamon." She said and I wiped away the falling tears but I still couldn't find my voice.
"Their dead." Galomon said in a monotonous voice. He was sitting in a corner somewhere.
"WHAT!?!?!?!" Hanami and Palmon exploded.
"I know said isn't it?" I said finally finding my voice. Hanami erupted with giggles and then before I knew it she was rolling on the ground with laughter.
"What's so funny?!" I asked hurt that she would laugh at the fact that her sister and brother-in-law were dead.
"Hahaha! It's just that, hahaha, they aren't dead!" She erupted into a fit of laughter and tears were coming out of her eyes.
"Their not?" I said hoping she was telling the truth.
"Of course not! They are just very, very, VERY, deep sleepers. I thought the same thing once. But I learned very quickly that they are just...well.. just deep sleepers. There are only two ways to wake them up. 1- Let them wake up on their own, but when they do they always get up at a certain time. No matter what they get up at 9:30, and its only 9:28." I said as I looked at my watch. I looked back at the couple as they began to move.
"2- Just scream 'Fire!' and they'll hop up like jack rabbits. No offense Galomon."
"None taken." He answered looking as Motoki sat up.
"MOTOKI!!! Your not dead!" He screamed and leapt into his lap. Tsunami did the same thing and I ran over to her. They looked a little shocked, and Hanami and Palmon were on the floor rolling with laughter but none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was the fact that my friend was alive and safe.
"Did we um..." Motoki started.
"...miss something?" Tsunami finished as she looked curiously at Hanami and us.
"Oh nothing." Hanami smiled and I smiled back at her and then at Tsunami.
"Nothing, now that you're not dead!" She yelled and ran as Galomon and I chased her out of the room.
Okay.... So I may have lied a little bit. I didn't get around to writing the action but I promise its coming soon! Want a little teaser? Okay I'll have it out by tomorrow. I'm sooo sorry it took me so long it get this chapter out, its just that I was um.... busy. Yeah that's is. ^.^;; Well until the teaser (which will be short) Ciao!

We belonged together. And just like you I'll do anything to make you understand what I'm feeling." Yashamon's eyes began to burn bright red and she began to fade away.
"I'd anything to make you understand! Even if it means getting rid of the one thing you really care about. The one thing that's stopping your true feelings from showing. I'll kill Sincerity if I have too!" She screamed as she disappeared.

"Yes you hurt her and Palmon very deeply. I don't know if they'd ever be able to forgive you. I know I wouldn't." Aruruamon said while clenching her fists together in anger.
"I suggest you go in there and apologize to her if you know what's good for you." A new voice said from behind their group. They moved out of the way to reveal Palmon.
"Palmon what are you doing here?" Patamon asked as he flew towards her.
"She sent me to look for them and I heard what you were saying. If you all knew what I knew then you wouldn't be acting this way. But then again, maybe its better that she sees how you really are. If she hadn't seen who you really were then she might of actually started to like you all..." I didn't hear the last part of what she was saying because she said it in a whisper. I don't think she wanted any of us to here what she was saying.
"Gomamon, come on we're going to try and make at least some of this right." I said as we stood up and began to walk out the door.
"Palmon, what room is Hanami in?" I asked and she smiled up at me.
"Come on I'll show you which room she's in. I should of gone back to check up on her a little while ago anyway." She said as we started to walk out of the room. I heard footsteps behind us and turned my head to see that TK, Kari, Yolei, Ken, and just about everyone else. Everyone except Sora and Matt. I stopped and walked towards them.
"If you don't go now you may never forgive yourselves for what happened to Mimi. I know it still hurts but at least Destiny is giving us another chance to help someone else." I said as I left them with my words.
~Mimi/Hanami~
Palmon had been gone along time and I was beginning to get worried. I was just about to get up and see what taking so long when she walked into the room with the rest of the digidestined. My first reaction was to scream bloody murder then I wanted to cry then I wanted to runaway but something kept me where I was. Tsunami walked over to me and leaned to close to me.
"It wasn't my idea, it was Palmon's. Blame her." I glared at Tsumi and then at Palmon. I glared at them both and then I looked at the group of people in front of me.
"Look we wanted to say we're sorry for the way we all acted and especially how our friends acted towards you. They really aren't that bad once you get to know them, its just well you see..." T.K. started and then trailed off as Sora and Matt walked into the room. Davis saw this and sighed and continued were he left off.
"You see they are acting like total jerks because they miss our friend Mimi, and you see they probably don't want someone replacing them because they feel like no one could ever replace her and well she meant a lot to them and us. She was a digidestined a part of our team and... Well you understand it don't you? If not I'll try it a different way. See you wouldn't like it if your best friends filled your spot in when you were playing soccer even though you told them you weren't playing." He babbled. When he finally finished I had a major headache and his ignorance was painful. I thought at least he would have gotten smarter by now, but I guess not.
"Uh...ok..." Was all I said as I stared at them all in shock as they seemed to understand what the heck he was talking about.
"Look we're sorry about what we said to you its just that your replacing our friend and we don't know how to deal with it." Sora said finally after a long silence engulfed us. I smirked and flipped my hair behind my back and sat down on my bed.
"Well you should have thought about the consequences before you ran her away." Okay I know I was acting like a spoiled brat and I should have forgiven them but the temptation was just too great. Hey, she got what she deserved. I watched as her face along with many of the others changed all the colors of the rainbow. Red-with anger. Blue-with sadness. Green-(in Tai's case) with envy and Yellow-with cowardice. I don't know what half of the other colors came from but then again I didn't understand them in the first place. Finally their faces went back to their original colors.
"You know what?" Tai said as he and the others regained their composure.
"What?" I asked innocently as if I hadn't done anything wrong.
"You are so totally..." He stopped as he tried to search for the right word.
"Totally what?" Motoki asked from besides me. I almost jumped. I totally forgot they were there.
"Totally a digidestined!" He smiled and I saw Galomon and Tsumi breathe a sigh of relief. I would of done the same thing if he and Agumon hadn't yelled 'Group Hug!' and everyone tackled me including Matt and Sora. I could hardly breathe and being under a bunch of smelly people didn't help any.
"Can't....breathe...help!" I managed to get out and I waved what I could feel of my limbs as much as I could, which wasn't much. I could move my hand and my feet and even then I could hardly move them.
"Enough!" Aruruamon yelled as everyone got off of me and I began to breathe again. I threw her a grateful smile and then started to get off my bed.
"How about we all get a good night's sleep and then tomorrow we um.. well we just do something!" She said cheerfully and the "original" digidestined looked at her strangely. I think they were beginning to suspect that she was me or who I used to be.
"Um, yeah that's a great ides! How about we all do whatever tomorrow! I'm sure Gennai told you guys to come get us. So why not head back to him?" I said a little ditzy to think that being twins makes us act a little like each other. They all nodded their heads and walked out of my room. The only ones that remained were Tsumi, Moto-chan, their digimon and Palmon. Then soon only Palmon remained with me and then we went to bed, but before I drifted fully into my slumber I thought I saw a dark figure walked steadily towards and smiled. But when I opened my eyes wide enough, nothing was there.
~Aruruamon~
~*~The Next Day~*~
Gosh! How can someone sleep so long? Tsunami and Motoki are still sleeping. I didn't think it was possible to sleep so long. I wonder if they're dead... Oh my gosh! I think their dead! If they're dead then I won't have anyone to protect or a best friend anymore! I started crying and then Galomon came over to me.
"Why are you crying?" He asked me and I looked at him. I pointed to the dead-looking couple that laid on the bed and then I started to cry even harder.
"I..I.. I think they are dead!!!!!!!" I screamed and buried my head in his chest. I felt him start to shake and I felt something wet hit my flower. I looked up and Galomon was crying too.
"Their dead!! I just met him yesterday! I'm such a bad protector! I deserve to die!" He cried and we held onto each other and cried in the room. Just when I was about to cover them with a sheet, Hanami walked in with Palmon. Hanami saw what we were doing and walked over to us.
"What's the matter?" She asked. A fresh set of tears ran down my cheeks and Palmon took me into her arms.
"Shh. Don't cry Aruruamon." She said and I wiped away the falling tears but I still couldn't find my voice.
"Their dead." Galomon said in a monotonous voice. He was sitting in a corner somewhere.
"WHAT!?!?!?!" Hanami and Palmon exploded.
"I know said isn't it?" I said finally finding my voice. Hanami erupted with giggles and then before I knew it she was rolling on the ground with laughter.
"What's so funny?!" I asked hurt that she would laugh at the fact that her sister and brother-in-law were dead.
"Hahaha! It's just that, hahaha, they aren't dead!" She erupted into a fit of laughter and tears were coming out of her eyes.
"Their not?" I said hoping she was telling the truth.
"Of course not! They are just very, very, VERY, deep sleepers. I thought the same thing once. But I learned very quickly that they are just...well.. just deep sleepers. There are only two ways to wake them up. 1- Let them wake up on their own, but when they do they always get up at a certain time. No matter what they get up at 9:30, and its only 9:28." I said as I looked at my watch. I looked back at the couple as they began to move.
"2- Just scream 'Fire!' and they'll hop up like jack rabbits. No offense Galomon."
"None taken." He answered looking as Motoki sat up.
"MOTOKI!!! Your not dead!" He screamed and leapt into his lap. Tsunami did the same thing and I ran over to her. They looked a little shocked, and Hanami and Palmon were on the floor rolling with laughter but none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was the fact that my friend was alive and safe.
"Did we um..." Motoki started.
"...miss something?" Tsunami finished as she looked curiously at Hanami and us.
"Oh nothing." Hanami smiled and I smiled back at her and then at Tsunami.
"Nothing, now that you're not dead!" She yelled and ran as Galomon and I chased her out of the room.
