Crystal Tears
I turned away from the scene before me, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. Refusing to allow that to happen, locking them away, I bowed my head to hide my face.
A soft hand rested upon my shoulder as I looked into the comforting eyes of my friend Yolei. "I'm sorry," she said quietly.
I leaned my head on her shoulder as she silently reassured me, offering comfort that still could not completely penetrate the icy shielding of my heart. In some ways she made me feel all right about being young and during the hard times, she comforted me far better than any other elder person did.
"He didn't deserve to die, not when he was so close…" My voice cracked slightly as I fought to keep my control.
"It was the greatest gift he ever gave," she said softly, holding me close. I buried my face into the soft, warm material of her overcoat as she stroked my back. "It wasn't necessarily death, he lives on forever, and the Digital world will never forget him for that gift."
"But why did he have to leave?" I shook with silent sobs.
"It was of his free will, Cody," she told me gently. "I-I suppose he wanted to repent for what he did in the past."
"It wasn't his fault! He was just…"
"That was the past, we can't change it, but what we can do is use the knowledge we gained from it to become stronger to make our future better." She held me close, holding me like a sister would.
I looked around. The skies were gray and stormy and the land looked somewhat sad, mourning in a way.
"We always need to remember him," I finally said. "Forever in our hearts, for what he did to save all of us."
"Of course, he will never truly be dead, as long as we hold his spirit with our dreams and as long as the Digital World exists." She smiled briefly at me, ruffling my hair. Then she sighed, looking around. "It usually isn't like the Digital World to be like this, I guess it's as thought it's mourning for him too, as well as what happened in the sad times of the past…"
"Yolei? Is it alright if I have some time to myself?" I asked tentatively.
"No, of course not." She ruffled my hair and walked off.
I smiled inwardly for a moment then turned to what I had looked away from before. It was a peaceful little corner of the Digital World, a meadow with a pond nearby. A smooth rock with some carvings on it was settled under a weeping willow by the pond. I walked to it, tracing the name. Oikawa Yukio. A man that had caused so much pain; yet gave up so much to repair that damage in the only way he could. A man that was so close to my father, one I barely knew, yet I mourned for.
Then I let the tears fall freely, the only witness to my grief being the sky. I let the crystal tears fall to the ground as I silently wept…
A/N: Angsty, aren't I? -_-' This is sort of something I just thought of. Anyway, I'm still working on some of my other posts as quickly as I can. Darn writer's block!
