Once Upon A Velvet Moon
And The Moon Shines Bright
~Mimi/Hanami~
This is all happening all too quick, I never planned for things to go this way. Never in a million years would I have thought things would of turned out the way they did. I mean, I come back to the one of the places I never wanted to go back to and then I meet up the people that I had spent the last 5 years trying to forget and avoid. Then I get back together with my ex-boyfriend and then they all think things were perfect. Man, were they ever wrong. Man, even I was wrong. For a split second, I actually believed everything would turn out alright. But then things didn't go as planned..........
~*Flashback*~
"Alright we're heading to Gennai's!" TK said looking quite happy. I don't know why he was happy, he just was. Maybe it was because of the digidestined being all toghether again, maybe.......
"Should we use Imperialdramon? We could get there a lot quicker." Cody said looking at Ken and Davis.
"Nah! Its a nice day! Why spoil it?" Veemon and Davis said. I smiled and walked towards a tree and sat down. Watching everyone argue about which method of travel we should use to make our way to Gennai's House. It brought back memories and I looked up the sky. It was so peaceful.
"Mimi?" I looked away from the sky to see everyone looking at me.
"What is there something on me? Is there something on my face?" I said rubbing my face and reaching into my pocket to pull out a mirror.
"No! We just uh, wanted to know what way you wanted to travel." I stopped looking for my mirror and stared at them. It was at that moment that I realized that my sister wasn't anywhere to be found. I stood up and looked around.
"Where's Tsumi?" I asked looking at everyone. They looked around and Motoki made a face.
"She was just here, where could she be?" He asked talking to himself. Just then I heard a noise in the bushes and I turned around to see what it was. Everbody was looking around and they didn't see me leave. I walked to towards the bushes and peaked through the leaves.
Sitting there was Tsumi and a Numemon. I was about to rush in there and kick it away when I say it was crying. I mean sincere tears not those fake ones they use to try and trick you.
"Shhh. Its ok now. Trust me. Nobody will hurt you. No one." She smiled and I suddenely felt guily. 'I have the crest of sincerity and I wasn't even using it. She deserves it more than I do.'
"No you deserve it. You and you alone. No one could ever be able to compare to you." I turned my head and saw Oni-chan sitting on a rock behind me.
"Oni-chan...." I whispered and stared at him.
"You do get more enchanting by the moment don't you Sincerity?" He said looking at me. I have to admit I was sorta scared, but at the same time it was welcoming. This was he same digimon I used to confide in when we came back to the Digital World and I was by myself, well I was sorta by myself.
"Oni-chan? Why are you here?" I looked over and saw Palmon by a large tree.
"I have only come to talk to Sincerity. Nothing else. No reason to be alarmed. I came merely to talk." He said smoothly as he stood up and walked toward me. He came to a stop when he got right in front of me and sat down. I didn't know what to do, I only had one thought. That one thought was to talk with him.
"I'm sorry for how I acted before. I'm so very sorry. It's just that I've missed you a lot and when I found out you were back I let my feelings take over. I never meant for anyone to get hurt. Emotionally or physically." He said. I reached up and stroked his cheek.
"I forgive you. I don't know why. I know I shouldn't. I know its wrong, but I also know that I have too. I can forgive you just like I've forgiven them." I whispered and stared into his eyes. His face started to get closer to mine and I backed off.
"I can't do this, you know it. I belong to someone else. Please understand." I said with tears in my eyes.
"I understand, but please allow me at least a kiss on the cheek. Grant me my one request." He whispered and I nodded my head. I heard Palmon gasp as he got closer, when he was about to touch my cheek, Tsumi took this as her cue to walk through the bushes.
"Hanami!" She screamed and we both backed away. I looked at her and then at him. He smiled sadly and began to disappear.
"I'm sorry." I said as he vanished. Palmon ran up to me and hugged me and I hugged her back.
"What do you think you were doing?" She asked as she stomped over to us.
"What I was doing is none of your business!" I screamed and looked at her, she looked taken back for a moment but quickly recovered.
"Don't you realize you have a boyfriend or did you forget!" She yelled at me. I just looked at her and started to walk away.
"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you." I heard her come up behind me and I ignored her. How was she going to get mad at me, for something so little as a kiss on the cheek?
"Why are you so upset?" I asked as I turned around to look at her.
"Why?! You ask me why when that guy tried to kill you!"
"He didn't try to kill me!" I yelled at her, she didn't know anything.
"Look Hanami. You and Motoki are all I have. I don't to lose you. I'd be heartbroken, if something were to happen to either one of you." She said as we both calmed down.
"Hmphf." I said as I walked away.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?!" She yelled after me. I just smiled and turned around.
"Why do you have to be so nosey?" I asked and walked into the clearing where I had left the group. Palmon and I walked into the clearing together while Tsunami came in after us. The moment they saw us, they rushed toward us. Matt reached me first and hugged me really tight. I could hardly breathe.
"Matt, sweetie, I can't breathe." I croaked out and he let me go. As soon as he let me go Motoki grabbed me. This continue for a little while. People hugging me and then they let go and then someone else would grab me. This all happened so quickly when it all stopped I was so dizzy and nearly feel down. When I could see straight and everyone was calm, questions started to fly.
"Tsunami where were you?" Aruruamon asked first. Tsunami explained that she had found a Numemon hurt in the woods and was trying to calm it. I suddenely felt guilt once again as I replayed the scene over and over again. 'I'm not worthy. She is so much more sincere and loving towards others. Not worthy. I'm not worthy of the crest I hold.' I thought to myself, once again. I half expected for Oni-chan to tell me that I desereved it more than anyone, but the other half told me not to be silly.
"Well that explains where Tsunami's been, now Mimi. Where have you been?" The question both shook me from my thoughts and it suprised me. What was I suppose to say? I was about to get kissed by the enemy? I couldn't say that, and yet I if I did I'd hurt so many people and I would lose the respect of others. Luckily, something pulled their attention from me.
"Hello Digidestined. Nice to see that you found the missing Digidestined." Gennai spoke up and all eyes went to him. Well most of them. Mine strayed back to the forest and then down at Palmon who nodded her head. She understood me, she was the only one. We had gone through so much when we left the others, we probably grew a lot closer than the others had.
"Hey its that guy." I heard Motoki say and smiled, well slightly anyway.
"I have some good news and some bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?" He asked and I looked around the group and saw that everyone wasn't looking too hot. Not even Kari, the light of the group. It looked like no one was going to say anything so I decieded to make the decision.
"Well how about the bad news first so I won't feel even worse than I started out." I said walking over the the image of the man.
"Well that's going to be close to impossible Sincerity. Because you won't like what I have to hear. None of it is really good news." He said gloomily.
"Well the how can you say you have good news?" Matt yelled looking furious at the projection.
"Well one isn't as bad as the other one so it has to be the good news." He explained and I sighed.
"Well just tell us the news." Tai said obviously annoyed. I walked over to Matt and layed my head on his shoulder and hugged his waist. I felt him look down at me and I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back before we both payed attention to the relaying conversation infront of us.
"Well it seemes as though the Dark Clan has stopped their random attacks. They've started to hit certain areas. You know the areas with the Destiny Stones, but the thing is they really don't seem to be trying to destroy the Destiny Stones. They just seem to attack that area. Its like their trying to destroy everything in the area except the Destiny Stones." He said and I looked at him and wondered what he was talking about. Something clicked in my brain but I wasn't sure what it was.
"So then what's the other news?" Ken asked and Gennai shook his head.
"I've found yet another prophecy." He said, I'm downloading it to Izzy's computer now." Just then a beep came from Izz's computer and a large flashing sign said, "FILE COMPLETE!!!!!!" Then after that all you heard was the clicking of keys and the Tentomon asking Izzy question after question.
"Okay here's the prophecy." Izzy said. Everyone crowded around except for Palmon and I. We already knew what it would say. We saw the prophecy before.
"Rain shall fall from the heavens
in nonstopping torrents.
Hills shall fall and moutains will crumple.
The evil will rise and
revive those once gone.
And the end of the world will begin.
One by one
the digidestined will fall
until only Sincerity is left.
Only Sincerity has the power
to defeat the evil.
A power to be used once before its over
The evil will be gone
and the the digidestined resurrected
but the evil will have consumed 1.
The digidestined will be reduced by 1.
As always recycle and don't pollute."
Everyone was silent and I stood there and watched as it all sunk in. If everything wasn't so gloomy I would have laughed. Only becuase I know that is the same way I reacted when I read the prophecy before. Everyone laid in silence for a long time and it was starting to get on my nerves.
"Okay then. We'll just have to be prepared then, won't we?" I said smiling. Gennai gave me a look before he faded away.
"How about we get moving okay?" I said before walking ahead of everyone. I really didn't care where I was going. Only that no one would see my tears. I had given up crying years ago, but I guess you can never get rid of all your tears.
"Mimi!" I quickly brushed my tears away and put on a fake smile. I turned around and looked at the running digidestined in front of me.
"Yes?" I asked kindly and cheerful as I could get it.
"You ok?" Motoki-chan asked me. The question shocked me. I looked at them for a second with a look on my face before replacing my smiling face.
"Of course everything is alright. Why wouldn't it be? I just find out that the whole fate of both worlds depends on me, and then I find out that one of my friends is going to die? Oh yeah everything is just peachy." I sneered as I glared at him. Was it just me or was he seeming increasingly stupid by the minute?
"Woah, Mimi calm down. Don't take it like that?" Tai said trying to break the tension between us.
"Don't take it like what Tai?" I asked him. Palmon came up to me tried to get me to calm down.
"Mimi, you know they didn't mean it." She said to me, then she added something that only I could hear.
"They don't know what happened. You can't blame them. They don't know." I smiled down at her and nodded my head. I turned to the others and out on the most sincere apologetic face I could muster. I did mean it really, its just that I don't think all of them believed me. I took a glance at Tsumi-chan and sighed.
'Can't please them all, but somehow I wish I could.' I thought to myself as I stood infront of everyone.
"I'm sorry minna. It's just that way too much stuff is happening way too fast." I said as tears threatened to roll down my face. I held them in though. I wasn't going to cry, not now, not here.
"I'm sorry, I'm really am. I promise after all of this is over, we can all go shopping!" I emphasized the last part hoping that everyone would believe me. It worked because everyone smiled at me, or made a slight chuckle.
'Oh how I wish things were as simple as they seemed....'
I'm so sorry minna-san! I meant to get this out a lot sooner than I did. With school, clubs and after school jobs, there isn't much time left for writing. I promise I'll get this story done if its the last thing I do! (Let's hope it's not! I want to write more!) Well until next update, Ciao!
