*Chapter 2 – It's all my fault*
"Takeru! TAKERU!"
Where is he? He didn't jump, did he? He fell, but he could have caught onto a rock. Maybe he was just trying to scare me. Maybe it was a trick. Yeah, that's right, it's a trick, a joke. He's trying to see how I'd react…
Hikari thought frantically, rushing towards the ledge. Her heart was racing, sweat raced down her face. Her face was flushed from the excitement and the fastest sprint she had ever made in her life. Takeru was the only thing that was in her mind now.
Not Daisuke.
Not Gatomon
Just Takeru.
She dashed as fast as she could, trying to get to place Takeru had just been. Her hair blew into her face, though she couldn't care less. He didn't fall. He couldn't. No way Takeru would commit… commit suicide? No, he HAS to be alive. He didn't fall, no way… No No No. I refuse to believe… He's alive, I know it. He can't be dead. He didn't fall, he didn't fall…
Did he?
"Takeru! Takeru!"
She stopped abruptly as she reached the ledge, so abruptly the strap around her neck broke and her faithful camera went plunging down. As she gazed, following the path of her falling camera case with her eyes, her skin began to prickle.
She couldn't see Takeru.
With a clatter, her camera case landed on a rock, the noise echoing the far way up to her ears. Her eyes widened as she saw the pieces fly everywhere. The remnants of her camera landed in the water, and were quickly swallowed up by the great sea.
She still couldn't see Takeru.
Her heart raced as she continued to call out his name, hoping that her brain, thinking him to be dead, was wrong. It had to be wrong. Takeru couldn't die! I bet if I go home, I'll find Takeru at my door, laughing his stupid head off. I'll have to steal his hat from him, show him how scared he made me…
Hikari's ears listened for anything that sounded even remotely like Takeru's voice. Anything at all. He could have found a ledge and would be yelling for her to help. He could have…
By now, the sun was behind the horizon, and the last rays of the day stretched out over the land, trying to warm it before the cold night. The rays reached Hikari's face, but she didn't notice. She kept searching, the light getting slowly dimmer. Soon she wouldn't be able to see a thing. That didn't stop her. As one of the Digidestined, she had faced bigger challenges than this before.
Her voice was becoming hoarse, but Hikari kept yelling her hardest, and searching with her keen eyes. She thought about what might happen. He could be at school tomorrow, laughing about his joke. And then he would comfort me, give me a hug, and say that he would never do that again. Boy, would Dai be jealous of Takeru… He would get all red just at the sight of Takeru's face!
…Just at the sight of Takeru's face…
Then it hit Hikari. It hit her like a ton of bricks. She fell to her knees, the weight of her heart too much of a burden to carry any longer. Her eyes widened to their full extent, seeming to be the size of plates. A look of fear washed over her face. Her soul plunged, the light inside of her dimming with every passing second.
Dai wouldn't see Takeru's face…
No one would see Takeru's face…
Because Takeru's face was now under the ocean, or splattered on a rock somewhere along the shore, oozing with blood, brains spilling out, body spiked, internal organs pierced.
He was gone forever. He wouldn't be back to laugh at his childish joke, or to have his hat stolen.
He wouldn't be back to give hugs and comfort.
He wouldn't be back to be her friend.
He wouldn't be back to love.
He would never be back.
And it was one person's fault.
That person now sat on the edge of a cliff, gazing out over the twilight ocean with dead eyes, a breeze flicking her hair behind her slumped over body.
Yagami Hikari knew it was her fault that her friend was dead.
Yagami Hikari knew it was her fault that someone so close and special to her was now lying somewhere without a heartbeat or a pulse.
Yagami Hikari…
