Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, or any of it's respective characters. It belongs to those people at fox kids and… that other place who's name escapes me… for the moment. I do, however, own Hademon.

I stood there, motionless as the coldness of icy reality struck me. I tried to fight back the tears, but what was the use? "No!" I cried, flinging myself to Tk. I should have told him. Should have, should have, should have. Of course, Tk had known how I felt, because… because… because he.. he loved me, too. I closed my eyes as I felt Tai's hand on my shoulder, trying to be reassuring, but failing, as his hand was shaking.
I shrugged off the hand. I didn't want reassurance. Of course, it was my fault. I knew it was, I was there, that fatal moment, three weeks ago…
We were in Digiworld, Tk, Davis, Yolei, Cody, Tai, Sora, Matt and I. The original reason that we had been here was that the others had all gone through before us, and we were to meet at Gennai's house. Something about… about… about, I can't remember. Anyway, it was all fine until two huge evil Digimon attacked. The first was Hademon*, a huge, black shadow of mist that could form ghastly shapes to attack his opponents with. Our brave digimon, Magnadramon, Seraphymon, Wargreymon, Metalgarurumon, Garudamon, Exveemon and Ankelomon attacked Hademon, but all were defeated and reduced to their' in – training forms by just a single glance from the dark digimon. Then, another colossal digimon appeared. I don't know his name, and I don't want to. He said something to Hademon in a language that made no sense to any of us, and after that one order, Hademon gathered up all of us, save Tk and myself, and vanished.
I don't know about Tk, but by now, I was mortified. If it had been just me there, I'm sure I would have fainted. "Hey, you!" Tk yelled at the huge black phantom. "What did you do with our friends?!" "Friends? You need not concern yourself. They are disposed of." "Disposed of? You monster!!!!" With that, Tk grabbed the largest rock he could find and flung it at the phantom. It passed right through. "Come now, boy, Surely you know you cannot possibly try to attack me. Besides," He shook his head dismissively. "It's the girl I want. I have no need of you. The only reason you're even still here is because of some damned prophecy that reads ' light and hope be separated in death alone, and no other force may take them apart.' Which is why," He added, "I've decided to kill the child of light. I really have no need of you. Now, if you'll excuse me…" The evil digimon stared at me, and I slowly felt myself loosing control of my body. My joints grew stiff, and my mind raced with fear as I realized I was completely paralyzed, standing, but unable to move. "What have you done to her?! Undo it now!" Tk raged. "Oh, but I've only just started. Sleep of Death!" He yelled, launching his attack at me. At the last moment, Tk jumped in front of me, shielding me, taking the blow himself. The phantom digimon laughed. "Stupid boy. Well, one digidestined is as good as another." He said and turned, disappearing. As Tk fell, I regained control of my body and caught him, and, as he lay there, in tremendous pain, he looked up at me, smiled, and fell into the coma that would claim his life. The sleep of death.
I can't remember the rest, but I'm sure that's all that matters. Then I realized, the phantom had meant the blow for me, and it had been black and dark, the opposite of light. I recalled an ancient saying, 'Without life, there is no hope.' Could it be possible that over the millennia the second word had been distorted? Could that word have been light? But what did it matter? He was dead…
Tk's spirit floated again, thinking, remembering. He mustered all his strength and was able to utter one whisper, "Hope…."
* In case you care, Hademon came from Hades, the Ancient Greek name for hell, and the name of the god of the underworld.
