This Chapter is the alternate ending. It's basically the same as Chapter 5, but the outcome isn't the same. Something's wrong with my computer so that everytime I replace the new chapter with different text, it doesn't update it. So yeah, if you mind re-reading 95% of Chapter 5, read on.

Disclaimer: You get it by now, don't you?




Hikari thought the day seemed endless. She turned up short in her search for Takeru, searching everywhere from his apartment to Miyako's convenience store. She plopped herself on the couch, and let out a long heavy sigh. As she reached for the remote with one hand, the other pushed her hair back behind her ear. It had grown many inches since the last trip to the Digital World. She turned on the TV to try and get away from the whole situation, and saw that the news was on.

The news anchor had a blue blazer, with a cream-colored blouse underneath. Her shoulder length dirty blonde hair was curled under, to focus people's attention on her hazel eyes. "And new in the news today, an unidentified boy was found unconscious in a paring garage today." Hikari quickly remembered the boy she had seen at the hospital. She pitted him even more. "Doctors believe he was hit with a car. He had blonde hair, and blue eyes. If you believe you can identify him, please call the number shown below."

The news report made Hikari think of Takeru. The way he always said the right thing at the right time, the ways he could make you feel like the luckiest girl ever. She smiled at the thought. Then darker thoughts came, like what if he would never take her back, if she was mad at the wrong person. Before this, he was the only person she truly trusted. Then it finally hit her- Willis was the cheater. She stood up at the thought instantly. "What have I done" she whispered to herself. She grabbed her keys off the table and rushed out the door. She knew where he was.


"Hi, um I think I know who that blonde boy is" Hikari said to the nurse sitting behind the table. "Can I please see him?"

The overweight nurse's eyes widened. "Yes, yes. Follow me, Miss" she instructed.

As they walked through the hallway, she told several doctors about her and they were pleased to hear about it also. This all made Hikari uncomfortable, but she kept on walking.

"He isn't conscious, so it might be hard to recognize him" the nurse stated.

"No problem" Hikari said, with a weak smile. She turned toward the door, swallowed her pride, and slowly opened it.

And there he was.

She walked up to his bed, and sat down to the chair next to him, as she examined him. That was him. And she knew that for sure this time. All the bad thoughts came rushing back to her again. So she sat, and she waited for him to open his eyes. That is, until it because too late. She went back home after telling the curious doctors who he was, and kicked Willis out of her house, knowing the truth. She came back, day after day checking on his condition, which hadn't improved much.


After two weeks visiting Takeru, and ending up sleeping in his room, Hikari found out that he wasn't unconscious anymore. He was alive, and from what the doctors said, doing well.

She ended up in the hospital as a nervous wreck. Her heart pounded as she took each step. Her mind was constantly wondering about what his reaction would be when she told him she fell back in love with him. She opened the door and found him sitting alone, watching TV miserably.

"Hey" she said in a small, soft voice. Takeru just looked at her, giving her no response. He didn't know the right thing to say.

"I know what I believed was stupid, but have you ever wondered if you let the right one get away, Takeru? You're the right one, and I'm not about to make the biggest mistake of my life."

"I don't know Hikari, I dont want to go back to being heartbroken."

"I'm not going forward" she replied. She approached him, and leaned over to give him a kiss, but he turned his cheek the other way. Hikari stood there, confused.

"Don't you realize Hikari? It's over. We broke up for a reason, and I'd like to move on. I'm through loving you, Hikari." She stood there with a dazed look on her face. Her brain was racing with thoughts, trying to understand what just happened.

Tears formed up in Hikari's eyes. "Aren't we meant to be Takeru? Hope and Light, they can't survive without each other"

Takeru just shook his head. It wasn't meant to be after all.





I hope you liked that ending better than the original. Go, review.
