Once Upon A Velvet Moon
And Sincerity is Revealed, Any Questions?
~Mimi/Hanami~
Eventually, we lost Galomon and Aruruamon. Which wasn't an easy feat. They were right behind us the whole time. I guess after a while they decieded they had better things than to chase me and Palmon around. When we finally figured out they weren't behind us anymore we slowed our pace to a walk and began to talk.
"So, Mi- ah I mean Hami-chan. Can I call you Hami-chan?" Palmon asked as we walked toward the gardens. I smiled down at her as we walked through the blooming flowers. The flowers were so beautiful, they smelled wonderful, and so many colors!
"Sure, Palmon. You can call me that." I looked around and started to sit in the flowers. Palmon joined me and we chatted about virtually nothing. Just like old times, except for the fact that Sora and Biyomon weren't with us, but like who really cared? I didn't.....did I?
"Mimi what are you waking?" Palmon asked me as she shook me from my thought. I looked down to see that I had been slowly weaving a bunch of flowers toghther into a chain. I don't know why. I stoppped making chains of flowers when I left home. Maybe, its sa sign or something, I don't know if I want to get back with them. I mean so much has changed. I've changed, Sora's changed, they've all changed. It just wouldn't work.
"Nothing Palmon, just a chain of flowers. You want it?" I asked as I held it out to her. SHe smiled and took them from me and but them around her neck. She smiled and I started to pick more flowers when I heard voices.
"I do think we can trust her and her friends. Its not like we have a choice either." A voice said as they rounded I got to see who it was. Ken, Yolei and Sora turned the corner and into the garden.
"Hey Palmon how about we head out of here and grab some breakfast. I bet the others are loooking for us. Besides we haven't eaten anything all day and I bet you that if we don't get something to eat quick, we're not going to get anything to eat or a break the way Tai is." I said as I stood up and brushed the rest of the flowers and grass off my pants and grabbed Palmon's hand. I didn't care if they saw me, I just wanted food and to get away from them. I guess Palmon didn't see them because she started to talk to me. Only, she said something that turned my life around.
"Hey Mimi. Do you think that one day you'll make me some of the food you were used to eating. I mean before you left and all." I stared at her in shock for a second, and then turned my head to see if they had heard what she said. They looked at me in shock and I turned my head back and clenched my eyes closed. I looked down at Palmon and she looked sadly up at me.
"I didn't know, honest. I didn't know." She said as tears weld up in her eyes.
"Palmon, what did you just call her?" Ken asked as he walked up beind us. I just mouthed the words run, and we took off. I could hear their footsteps behind us and some yells from Sora and Wormmon. I just kep running. I was running faster than I had ever run before. I was running as if my life depended on it, but in a sense it did. If they caught up with me, my life and the way I knew it would all dissappear, and Mimi would once again surface. I couldn't let them take away who I was! I wasn't going to let them!
I felt a hadn grab my wrist and stop me from running anymore. It twirled me around and I was staring face to face with Ken. He stared me in the eyes while the others caught up with us. At first I tried to struggle but he wouldn't let go of me so I stopped and they dragged me into the closest empty room. God, I wanted to start crying right then and there, but I can't. I can't let them see weakness. They thrive off my fear.
They closed the door and Ken let go of my hand. Palmon quickly took hold of it as soon as he dropped it. I smiled down reasuring her, and myself at the same time.
"She called you Mimi didn't she?" Yolei asked as I started to panic. I had to think of something and quick.
"Yeah and so what if she did? It just so happens to be my name. 'Mimi' is a common name isn't it?" Smooth Hanami, I smiled inwardly at myself and looked smuggly at her. Sora came towards me and grabbed my arm, I struggled but all my effort was in vain. She rolled up my sleeve and looked at the tatoo on my arm. The tatoo I had gotten when I moved to America. I got the crest of Sincerity and a sword tatooed on my arm. To symbolize that...well I don't know what it was suppose to symbolize. It was just cool at the time!
"Mimi?" Sora whispered looking me into my eyes, and I suddenely felt fear and regret flood through my entire body.
~Yolei~
"Mimi?" Sora whispered looking at the blue haired woman in front of her. Hanami looked nervous and then she started to take a step backwards.
"Mimi? Isn't that the other digidestined that isn't alive anymore?" She asked as she bumped into the wall.
"It is you isn't it?" Ken asked as he stared at her from his seat beside the window. Hanami sighed and shook her head.
"I guess you aren't as dense as I though you were. You finally figured it out. Too bad I can't stay with you now. You know it was kinda amusing watching the real you. You know the, the you that none of you thought I could deal with, but oh well." She said with tears in her eyes. Just when I was to say something, there was this horrible screeching none and then the window shattered in to just about 50 billion pieces!
"What on earth could that be?" Hawkmon asked as he stood up. I looked out the window and saw two figures. One tall and the other short. The began to float and move towards the broken window. I backed away as they got closer. There was banging at the door, I guess the others heard the noise and came to see what happened. Only they can't get in.
By now the figures were in the room and I could see them clearly. The taller one was totally hot! Well um I mean for being a digimon that is, but it didn't look like a digimon, he was wearing a pair of khaki cargo pants and a green no sleeve shirt. I didn't even know they made those in the digital world. He had dark black hair and sea green eyes, wow, what a guy.
"Oni-chan." I heard Mimi whisper and I looked over at her. Her and Palmon had looks of awe on their faces. I wouldn't blame them.
"Sincerity, you've returned. I've waited so long for you, and I would wait longer if I had too. Come with me." He said as he held his hand out for her to grab. She was about to grab his hand when she hesitated, and pulled back.
"I can't go with you, I can't leave them again. I'm sorry Oni-chan, I'm sorry." She whispered and started to cry. I don't understand. How does she know him?"
"Dear Sincerity. They don't care about you. Can't you see that? They are only using you, I told you this once before and now, now you had to learn the hard way. But still you stay with them. Such dedication is not admirable, it's foolish. Now come with me." He spoke and reached down to grab her.
"You are not taking Mimi anywhere!" I yelled and stood in between them. He made the ugliest face I had ever see and then smirked.
"And who do you think you are? How do you ever hope to stop something powerful? Pitiful, you rush into the unknown. Even I'm not that dumb!" the smaller figure exclaimed as it stood beside "Oni-chan". I finally got a good look at him. Now he was different. I was now sure that they were both digimon. The shorter one looked like a purple Ogremon and a Kiwimon got mixed together somehow. Not very appealing when your trying to find a date.
"Yolei let me handle this." Hawkmon said as he was about to digivolve.
"No!!" Biyomon yelled from her spot by Sora.
"Huh? What are you doing Biyomon." I asked as she stood in front of Hawkmon.
"Don't you see? If Hawkmon digivolves into Aquilomon, he'll be too big, he has to armor digivolve into another form!" Biyomon said. She was right, if he digivolved then he'd squish us all.
"No don't digivolve I'll handle this." Mimi said and she looked at her "Oni-chan".
"Please don't do this. You aren't evil please. I healed you once, what happened to you?" She spoke and the not-so-handsome-anymore digimon backed away.
"I need help to get you and this was the only way! You're coming with me! You made a promise to always be by my side!" He yelled as he reached for Mimi.
"I made a promise to always be there for you! I never said that I would stay with you! I would never be able to stay in the DigiWorld full time and you know it! What is wrong with you?" She screamed as she dodged his hand.
"Hami-chan!" I heard Motoki yell through the door, were they still trying to get? Why didn't they just blast the door open? No sooner said then done. A moment later the door was blasted open and dust filled the air.
"Sincerity! You belong to me and only me! You'll see that soon enough! I'll be back and when I do, I'm not going to leave until you come with me!" His voice echoed. When the dust finally settled the two digimon were nowhere in sight.
~Sora~
That whole experience was a little freaky. Okay first I find out that my best friend is in fact not dead and that she is involved with some freaky human-looking digimon. When the dust settle Tai ran to me and hugged me until I reassured him at least 12 times that I was fine. I saw Mimi get up and then she made her way to the window.
"Mimi..." I said as I walked toward her. I heard a few confused voices and then I turned to see that almost everyone was confused or well confused.
"Mimi? But I thought she was dead?" I heard Davis say. I heard a loud 'Ow!' and turned my head slitley to see Davis rubbing his head from where I guess TK hit him.
"It doesn't matter what you thought Davis! The only thing that matters is that she's alive!" I smirked at them and then turned my attention back to Mimi.
"I never thought, he'd take it the wrong way. He was so nice at first, but now he's totally different. I wish I knew what happened to him." She whispered to no one in particular. I but a comforting hand on her shoulder and she jumped. I guess she didn't realize I was still there.
"Mimi, its okay. Whatever this is we'll deal with this together. But we can only help if you forgive us. Please Mimi, forgive us especially me." I said as I hugged her and tears began to fall down my cheeks. She was okay! She wasn't dead. But the only thing that's bothering me at the moment is who was that girl they found dead in the creek.
"Mimi, I think you should tell them about Onimon." Palmon said as I pulled away and found myself in Tai's arms.
"Tell us what? I'm still trying to get over the initial shock that Mimi's not dead." Davis said as Veemon and Armadillomon nodded their heads.
"The digimon that came in here. He was after me, and I've known him for so long. I didn't think he'd turn evil again. He was so nice once." She whispered looking at Palmon.
"Well it would help if you told us what happened so we can try to understand and probably protect you." Tai said as he pulled himself into a chair and then me into his lap. I think he's finally starting to get the hang of the romance, that or just to tease Matt at the fact that he had a girlfriend and Matt didn't.
"Well you see it all started after Joe said he wanted to go on his own. You know when we all came back to the DigiWorld the second time. Well after he left my little group walked around the Digital World searching for more people to add to our group. Well one day, we were walking and we came across an injured digimon. That digimon was Yashamon.
"We nursed her back to health and when she regain her strength she told us of a digimon she was partnered with. That digimon was Onimon. They traveled the Digital World looking for adventure and stuff like that but she was caught up in an explosion and was hurt. We helped her find Onimon and at once I could tell that he would never hurt us. So I tried to persuade them to help us fight the Dark Masters but they didn't want too.
"So I made a promise to Onimon when we were walking into the woods one day. I promised him that if he ever needed someone to talk to or something like that I'd be the one to come too, but then I guess he took it the wrong way. I guess he thought that I would stay in the DigiWorld after all of the fighting was over. I didn't mean for this to happen! This is all my fault!" she screamed and ran out of the room, I was about to run after her when Matt did. If only she would of told us this story sooner. Maybe some of this could have been prevented.
~Matt~
I ran after her. I just kept on running. I wasn't going to let her get away from me again. I let her down and damaged her so much. I knew it at the time but I was just so blind, I didn't know it would effect her so deeply though! I had noticed some changes in her but I just thought that it was aphase or something. I never thought much about it, but now I wish I did.
"Mimi!" I yelled after her but she just wouldn't stop. If she was so determined to not stop then I was just as determined to stay with her until she did stop.After another 5 minutes of running, I began to get tired from all the running we were doing, but I noticed where she was running. She was running to the gardens. She burst into the room full speed and collapsed when she touched the soft earth beneath her. I slowed my pace and looked at her shaking form. She was crying and I didn't know why, but I was going to figure out why.
"Mimi...."I whispered as I slowly walked toward her. Her body stiffened as she heard my voice, but then she relaxed. I stood behind her and and looked down at her.
"What's the matter?" I asked, trying to make her stop crying. She didn't answer me, she didn't even look up at me, she just stared at the green ground beneath her. She just sat there, lost in her own world. It was a while before I sat next to her, and a even longer time before either of us spoke to one another.
"I wish it would all go away." She whispered suddenley, breaking the silence between us.
"Huh?" I asked turning my head toward her.
"I wish it would all go away. All this pain, this sorrow. It just hurts so much at times. Its like a thousand needles are piercing me over and over again, and they never stop." She said a little louder this time. I saw unshed tears begining to form in her eyes, and it was like she was trying so hard to stop them from falling. Something she'd never done before.
"I've felt the same way before. I felt that way when my parents got divorced and then again when they told me you died. I didn't want to believe it but you never came back and slowly I let what they were telling me sink. I guess over the years its changed us all, but I've noticed, it's changed you the most." I said looking at her. She lifted her head a little and looked me in the eyes. Tears had started to fall from her eyes and I wanted so badly to wipe them away, but I was afraid I was moving way too quickly.
"You don't know how it felt." She said suddenley looking away from me. I was shocked for a second, but it quickly passed.
"You don't know how it felt to find out that your so called 'best friends' thought you were shallow and a spoiled brat. You don't know how it feels to think that the guy you love doesn't know you at all. You don't know how it feels to find out that even after all these years, they still hold hate in their hearts!" She cried as tears started to flow down her cheeks at an accelerated speed.
"I may not know what all those things feel like but i know what somethings feel like. I know what it feels like to think that your girlfriend is dead and your the one that drove her to it! You know all that pain and guilt is not very comfortable!" I yelled back at her. I saw a flash of fear in her eyes and calmed down. This wasn't the way things were suppose to be going. I looked back in her eyes and saw something I didn't think I'd find their. I slowly saw hate and anger burn in her eyes.
"Good! I'm glad to know you suffered! I'm glad to know you at least felt something at the announcement of my death! I hope everyone did! I hope that hate and guilt torture and I hope it cinsumes you! I hope it kills you." She hissed and I was taken back. She didn't mean all those things, did she? I mean this is Mimi we're talking about. I shook my head and sighed.
"Where's the fun loving spirited girl we all used to know and love?" I asked her and she looked down.
"She died." I looked over at her as her body once again shook from her crying.
"I can't fix the past Mimi, but I can help build a future. Will you let me, will you let us help you?" I asked as I lifted her chin up to look me in the eyes. She gasped when she looked me in the eyes, I didn't care if she saw it. I wanted to let her know.
"I still love you, and nothing is going to change that." I looked in her eyes one last time before getting up and walking away from her. I barely registered the sound of running behind me, that is until I felt something grab my hand. I looked over at Mimi who was grasping my hand.
"Mimi? Wha...." I stopped mid sentence when she put her finger on my lips to stop my talking.
"It may hurt at times but, I still love you too. No matter how much I try to force it away, its always there. I love you Yamato. I don't know why, I just do. So consider yourself lucky." She said smirking. I must of looked like the biggest idiot standing there with the biggest grin on my face. But who would cared? Not me, I had the most beautiful creature in the 2 worlds saying she loved me and well, I felt good! I picked her up and twirled her around listeing to the beautiful sound that eminated from her sweet lips. I put her down and quickly closed the distance within our lips. Man, it was heaven, but then something shook us from our place above the clouds.
"Get your hands off of Hanami!" I looked over and say Motoki running towards us and I looked quickly over at Mimi who had a sheepish look on her face.
"I forgot to tell you, Moto-chan is well over protective." She smiled and waved as I took off running.
Gomen ne! I'm soo sorry it took so long to get out, its just that well, things kept happening and well I got lazy and then well you know that deal! Well anyway....in the next chapter they finally get to Gennai's! Took long enough, ne? Well anyway, gotta start on the other chapter. Hope to see you there.

I ran after her. I just kept on running. I wasn't going to let her get away from me again. I let her down and damaged her so much. I knew it at the time but I was just so blind, I didn't know it would effect her so deeply though! I had noticed some changes in her but I just thought that it was aphase or something. I never thought much about it, but now I wish I did.
"Mimi!" I yelled after her but she just wouldn't stop. If she was so determined to not stop then I was just as determined to stay with her until she did stop.After another 5 minutes of running, I began to get tired from all the running we were doing, but I noticed where she was running. She was running to the gardens. She burst into the room full speed and collapsed when she touched the soft earth beneath her. I slowed my pace and looked at her shaking form. She was crying and I didn't know why, but I was going to figure out why.
"Mimi...."I whispered as I slowly walked toward her. Her body stiffened as she heard my voice, but then she relaxed. I stood behind her and and looked down at her.
"What's the matter?" I asked, trying to make her stop crying. She didn't answer me, she didn't even look up at me, she just stared at the green ground beneath her. She just sat there, lost in her own world. It was a while before I sat next to her, and a even longer time before either of us spoke to one another.
"I wish it would all go away." She whispered suddenley, breaking the silence between us.
"Huh?" I asked turning my head toward her.
"I wish it would all go away. All this pain, this sorrow. It just hurts so much at times. Its like a thousand needles are piercing me over and over again, and they never stop." She said a little louder this time. I saw unshed tears begining to form in her eyes, and it was like she was trying so hard to stop them from falling. Something she'd never done before.
"I've felt the same way before. I felt that way when my parents got divorced and then again when they told me you died. I didn't want to believe it but you never came back and slowly I let what they were telling me sink. I guess over the years its changed us all, but I've noticed, it's changed you the most." I said looking at her. She lifted her head a little and looked me in the eyes. Tears had started to fall from her eyes and I wanted so badly to wipe them away, but I was afraid I was moving way too quickly.
"You don't know how it felt." She said suddenley looking away from me. I was shocked for a second, but it quickly passed.
"You don't know how it felt to find out that your so called 'best friends' thought you were shallow and a spoiled brat. You don't know how it feels to think that the guy you love doesn't know you at all. You don't know how it feels to find out that even after all these years, they still hold hate in their hearts!" She cried as tears started to flow down her cheeks at an accelerated speed.
"I may not know what all those things feel like but i know what somethings feel like. I know what it feels like to think that your girlfriend is dead and your the one that drove her to it! You know all that pain and guilt is not very comfortable!" I yelled back at her. I saw a flash of fear in her eyes and calmed down. This wasn't the way things were suppose to be going. I looked back in her eyes and saw something I didn't think I'd find their. I slowly saw hate and anger burn in her eyes.
"Good! I'm glad to know you suffered! I'm glad to know you at least felt something at the announcement of my death! I hope everyone did! I hope that hate and guilt torture and I hope it cinsumes you! I hope it kills you." She hissed and I was taken back. She didn't mean all those things, did she? I mean this is Mimi we're talking about. I shook my head and sighed.
"Where's the fun loving spirited girl we all used to know and love?" I asked her and she looked down.
"She died." I looked over at her as her body once again shook from her crying.
"I can't fix the past Mimi, but I can help build a future. Will you let me, will you let us help you?" I asked as I lifted her chin up to look me in the eyes. She gasped when she looked me in the eyes, I didn't care if she saw it. I wanted to let her know.
"I still love you, and nothing is going to change that." I looked in her eyes one last time before getting up and walking away from her. I barely registered the sound of running behind me, that is until I felt something grab my hand. I looked over at Mimi who was grasping my hand.
"Mimi? Wha...." I stopped mid sentence when she put her finger on my lips to stop my talking.
"It may hurt at times but, I still love you too. No matter how much I try to force it away, its always there. I love you Yamato. I don't know why, I just do. So consider yourself lucky." She said smirking. I must of looked like the biggest idiot standing there with the biggest grin on my face. But who would cared? Not me, I had the most beautiful creature in the 2 worlds saying she loved me and well, I felt good! I picked her up and twirled her around listeing to the beautiful sound that eminated from her sweet lips. I put her down and quickly closed the distance within our lips. Man, it was heaven, but then something shook us from our place above the clouds.
"Get your hands off of Hanami!" I looked over and say Motoki running towards us and I looked quickly over at Mimi who had a sheepish look on her face.
"I forgot to tell you, Moto-chan is well over protective." She smiled and waved as I took off running.
