Sorry it took so long to put up I've been really busy! Anyway, I've been getting a lot of questions on this fic, and I'll answer a few, but not much or else I'll ruin the story. Okay, first off, I'm going to write why I didn't use Gatomon or Tokomon for Kari later. Also, in one of fics, I said Kari was lying against a wall, when it was actually a door. I wrote it that way, because I believed Kari would of been so startled she didn't realize she was against her door. As for the rest of the digidestined, they're coming up, but there's probably not going to be much on the 02 cast other than Kari and Takeru. Sorry! (Trust me, I think Ken's one of the most interesting characters in Digimon, but I couldn't think of anywhere to put him in this fic. :( ) Whew! Now that's over with, on with part four!

Part Four
A Cry from the Darkness
Mrs. Kamiya had returned after two hours. When she did, she promptly began to
cook dinner. Kari decided to join her and help out. "Your father will be at the office late
so we'll be eating dinner without him." their mom announced.
"Okay," Tai replied.
"Whoa, it's later than I thought." Matt said noticing the time on the clock.
"Hey, you're right. Need to call your family man?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, can I use your phone Mrs. Kamiya?" Matt asked.
"Go ahead Matt." she allowed.
Matt walked over the phone. While he dialed his number he looked up through the
balcony glass doors of the apartment to check out the conditions outside, only to see it
pouring. "Oh great," he said regretfully. "That's going to make it hard to get to the trains."
"Why don't you just stay here the night Matt?" Tai's mom suggested. "It's raining
non-stop out there, it's really late anyway, and you and Tai have no school tomorrow." she
pointed out.
"Uh, sure, that sounds like a good idea, if it's really no bother Mrs. Kamiya."
"No bother at all! I wouldn't want you to go home all soaked and at this hour. I'll
get out an extra futon and you can sleep in Tai's room."
"Okay, thanks Mrs. Kamiya." Matt said gratefully. "I'll just call my parents to tell
them."
Kari couldn't help but smile with excitement. 'Matt's going to be spending the night
here! I can't believe it! Miyako is right, I am so lucky!' she thought with an overwhelming,
quiet joy. As she stared at him with giddying admiration across the room when he talked
over the phone, she couldn't help but think, ''Maybe, this is fate's way of telling me to tell
him how I feel.'
Patamon waited impatiently in Kari's bedroom. Bored, all he can do was lie on the
bed and watch the rain slide down on Kari's window. Not only that, he was starving.
'Ughhhh... where's Kari with the food she promised me?' he began to wonder. 'I'm
soooo hungry...'
Finally, as if his prayers had been answered, Kari entered into the room with a big
smile and a plate. Closing her door behind her, she greeted the anxious Digimon.
"Okay, as promised," she said putting the plate on the floor. "One food platter!"
With lightning speed, he rushed to the floor. Patamon quickly scarfed it down with a
relieving hunger.
"This is good! Thanx Kari!" he said with delightful gratitude.
"Hmph, your welcome. You know what?! Matt's spending the night! Isn't it
great?!" Kari declared.
Patamon suddenly stopped eating and looked up at her with a strange,
disappointing look. "Matt's the blonde guy right?" he asked. "You like him a lot don't
you?"
"Yeah, what's the matter Patamon?" she asked concerned.
"Uh, nothing!" he said and went on to eat as he did before, but not a vigorously.
"Hmph, be careful you don't choke there Patamon," Kari remarked.
After Patamon had finished, Kari sneaked back into the kitchen and placed the
plate into the sink. She then carefully returned to her room. Patamon laid on his back on
her bed, sighing with satisfaction at the good meal he received.
"I never could remember when I ate so much!"
"Hmph, hm, yeah, you were a bottomless pit there Patamon!" Kari said jokingly.
She soon settled at the end of her bed and fell back to lay beside him. "Hmm... Matt's so
close now, I can't help but wonder what him and Tai are talking about. Maybe, it's about
me.. I wonder what they would say about me. I wonder what Matt would say about me..."
Kari admitted a little nervously. "What do you think Patamon?" she asked turning her head
to him.
"Well, if he were like me, I bet he'd say you are one of the nicest, caring, and
cutest people in the world!"
"Aww, thanks for saying so Patamon, you're so sweet!" she said stroking his head.
He couldn't help but smile and blush under her hand.
"Um, Kari, do you like me too?" he asked uneasily.
"Of course Patamon! You are my Digimon after all!" she reminded.
"Uh, right!" he replied.
"Hmph, we should get to sleep now. I want to wake up really early and make Matt
some breakfast!" she said, rising up excitedly. Patamon pouted with a look of jealousy, but
Kari didn't notice it. "Oh, and to make you some too!" she added. He smiled at that. He
couldn't wait to see what she would make for him.
"Gasp!" Kari shot upward from her bed startled. "That voice..." she whispered
holding her head.
"Kari, what's wrong?" Patamon asked looking up at her from the other end of the
bed.
"Uh, a dream... that's all. Go back.." A sudden chill crept into her and she became
quiet.
"What is it Kari?" Patamon asked worried.
"Something's- something's not right..."
Suddenly, a dark shadow flew up past Kari window. She gasped and turned just in
time to see it. She ran over to her window and saw as the black form descend onto the
roof of her apartment building. "What is that?" Kari didn't understand why, but she had to
know, it somehow felt as if she had to, like it was her responsibility, her duty.... her
destiny. She quickly turned around and hurriedly rushed out of her room to follow it.
"Hey! Wait up!" Patamon called flying after her.
'Darkness. There's no white light this time, no rushing colors, silent voices, dark
faces, just darkness... Where am I?'
"Can you hear me!? Someone! Can anyone hear me?!" a faint voice cries out from
the blackness.
'That voice..... I've heard it somewhere before, but where? Who are they?'
"Help! Save them! You have to save them! The Digidestined..." the voice cries
out with more clarity this time. But it's still a voice I can't recognize.
"Who are you?! " I call back, and actually hear my own words. "What are you
saying?!"
"Watch out! Danger!" the voice began to become more frightened.
'Danger?'
"Matt! Tai!" the voice began to scramble and pause, as if it struggled to speak.
"-Kari! Look out! She's coming after you! Look-" the voice stopped. I stood alone in the
deathly silent darkness, trying to comprehend the voice and what they had said. "Wh-what
was that?"
"Wake up! You have to wake up!" another voice calls out, but it isn't a voice that
came from a dream. It was someone else calling. Calling from the real world. A burst of
white light opens among the darkness before me. Their calls become clearer as I'm drawn
into it. Closer and closer, my world is consumed by a white light and I can hear the voice
calling me back into the waking world. "Wake up! Wake up! There's danger! You have to
wake up!"
Matt and Tai slowly open their eyes to the fuzzy surroundings beyond those of
dreams. "What was that?" they both asked themselves. Both were extremely confused and
dazed. They had no idea what had happened. Then, a sudden rush of memory came upon
their minds like wildfire. 'Danger? That voice...'
"Wake up Tai!" the same voice that had called him back caught Tai's attention.
"Wake up Matt!" another voice, the one that had awakened Matt came into reality.
"Wha?" Tai then realized his body felt heavier than usual. He looked up to face his
stuffed Koromon straight in its ridiculous face. But there was something different about it,
its face showed an expression of anger and frustration.
Matt faced the same thing. He came to see his Tsunomon on his chest looking
directly at him with tired, worried red eyes, which was different from its usual cute,
smiling expression it always had.
"About time!" they both said annoyed.
"GAAHHHHH!!" two simultaneous voices screamed.
"T-Tai, is your stuffed animal talking to you too?"
"Either that or my mom cooked some funky meat.."
"Don't be afraid Tai! I'm your friend!" the pinkish head assured with a smile.
"We're here to protect you!" Matt's stuffed animal declared cheerfully.
"Protect us?" Matt asked confused, rising to sit upright. "From what?"
"From those who would want to destroy you." Tsunomon replied.
"Destroy us?! Why would anyone want to do that?" Tai asked alarmed. (he was
sitting upright too)
" I don't know, do you Tsunomon?" Koromon asked turning to his fellow digimon.
"You got me!"
"Okay, okay, all right... you said there was danger right? What danger?" Matt
asked, trying to relax everyone, including himself, into calming down.
"Evil digimon are here, they've come for you. Patamon and his partner have
already gone to confront it." Koromon said in a serious tone.
"Patamon? And his partner...? Kari!" Tai realized. "KARI'S GOING TO FIGHT
THAT EVIL DIGI-WHATEVER?!" Tai yelled out, finding that his little sister was in
danger. He quickly shot out his bed to stand firmly to the floor. Which wasn't true for
Koromon, who bounced to the floor from being flung off Tai from his leap.
"Ughhh.. oh! Here! These will help us protect you!" Koromon said offering the
device that was around its neck.
"This thing? What's it do? Other than tell time..." Tai asked looking down on it
with doubt it can fight a monster.
"It's suppose to help us become stronger!" Koromon explained.
"Yep! Here's yours Matt!" Tsunomon said putting the same device before Matt.
He held it in his hand, looking down on it with wonder.
"Make you stronger?"
"Urgh, fine! If you can help me, you can come along! Let's go Matt!" Tai said right
before he dashed out of the room.
"Hey, wait up Tai!" Koromon called out bouncing after him. Matt quickly picked
up Tsunomon and pursued.
