A/N: I knew I should have picked out a more less obvious name. Besides that, I greatly appreciate the reviews. Yes, I am going into their personalities but those chapters were just a glance. And besides Part 2 and Part 3 show everything in Ruki's and Jenrya's POV. Cynthia, Piedmon's Lady you should try to read the fic (all of it) before you judge. This is everything in TAKATO's POV so it's not like I can zone into others thoughts in this Part.
I know Ruki wouldn't be some weak girl or nor she is completely the Ice Queen. After I finish this Part I'll show thing in her POV so it'll make more sense. Now, I didn't suggest putting Rukato, even though I am a Rukato fan I really like a lot of other couples. I only put "Rukato Fan" when I registered because I couldn't exactly think of anything that moment. On the other hand thanks for the feedback. sugar high, I guess I shouldn't leave you in the dark. Unless you didn't read it very well (or is it my writing?) Takato never got Guilmon while the others all got their Digimon so it's different. Now I'm sure people are tired of this so I'll just go on with this chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Digimon. I am merely a obsessed fan writing these fanfics.
Soul Search Part 1
Escaping Reality
I closed my eyes when I felt myself plunged into a room, literally. I saw nothing but the wilderness of a frontier. I got up and walked around glancing at my surroundings here and there. 'What's going on here?' I took a brief glance at the sky which was clear blue. 'Is this a dream? No, it can't be a dream. In dreams you think it's real...you don't think of it as a dream....but this can't be REAL can it?' I searched around for a logical explanation when I felt the ground shaking tremendously.
I landed on the ground on my knees and hands as the ground was shaking violently. The ground was breaking into various pieces and some of the land was sinking in. My eyes were shut tightly in fear. I waited to fall, fall into some pit and die.
Fortunately that never came as the ground stopped shaking. I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head upwards. I saw the sky's color was vastly changed. It was now swirled with inky blackness and crimson blood. I shivered as I felt the temperature drop immensely.
I stood up and found the land was in waste. Hardly any grass or flowers, and on some occasions a dead weed or two. I looked down to find that I was standing on a small piece of land. Huge chunks of land was gone and it seemed like miles to reach the next one. I heard loud blasts of sound coming from the left of me. Mixed with the explosive noise were ear-splitting cries of pain. I held fistful of hair with my hands as I yelled, "Stop it!! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!" I closed my eyes desperately trying to escape this nightmare.
I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted it to end, I wanted to go back to my old life. Everything was peaceful then. "STOP!!!!!"
"Hey! Wake up," said a voice.
I opened my eyes to find myself in a cabin. I saw Juri, Jenrya, and Hirokazu peering at me. I got up and felt myself feeling hot and tired when I realized I had tears in my eyes. I turned around facing away from them drying my tears. "It was a dream...," I murmured.
"What?" asked the blue haired boy in confusion. I stole a glance at him and saw Terriermon was on his shoulder. 'Great, now the Digimon probably think I'm a big crybaby.'
"Hey, you, are you sure you're okay?" asked Hirokazu. I avoided their eyes.
"Really, Hirokazu. You've been in his class for three years and you don't even know his name?" Juri's voice sounded exasperated.
"Well, he never talked to us before," Hirokazu's voice reasoned.
"Hirokazu, just because you don't talk to someone doesn't mean you should pretend they don't exist," said Juri's voice angrily.
I got up. "So I guess you guys didn't know I existed either," I said rather coldly. "I guess even the Tamers think of themselves higher than they really are."
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Hirokazu half shouted. I turned my head to look at their face to answer.
"It means, you are more conceited than you take credit for," I replied. I closed my mouth quickly. 'I need to learn to think before I say something stupid.'
"What! How dare you-" fumed Hirokazu. I couldn't help but notice that this boy was very sensitive about his pride in being a Tamer.
"Hirokazu, it's alright," Juri tried to reassure the furious boy. She turned to me with a disapproving look. "But you shouldn't say that, Takato."
I blinked in surprise. It was only adults (teachers and my parents) that actually talked to me by my first name. Usually people just said Matsuda or like Hirokazu said, "you".
I opened my mouth but words didn't form. I closed it and walked away, shutting the cabin door as I left.
"Was I too mean to them?" I wondered out loud. Apparently, someone heard me.
"Too mean to who?" asked a girl. It was Ruki. She seemed to have a bored like feature on her face but I thought for a second, just a second, I saw a hint of curiosity.
"Why?" I asked back. I was hoping she would just shrug it off so I could leave.
"You were talking to yourself," Ruki pointed out. Then without waiting for an answer she left.
I shrugged it off and headed out to whatever place I was headed to. 'Why should I care about them?' I walked in a casual fashion with my hands in my pockets. I saw ahead was a clump of trees and in the center was a dirt path. I followed the path my eyes focusing on random thoughts.
I felt an odd prickly feeling jump down to my spine. I heard a faint blast of wind pass me by suddenly. I quickly turned around to see only trees and the sky. Then without warning I felt a large gust of wind pick up raising the dust. I made an attempt to cover my eyes from the flying dirt.
I noticed something peculiar. I felt a weird electrical surge flow through my body that second. The wind was calming and I noticed my fingers were out of focus. I gasped. Before I could even think another thought I felt my supply of air shorten greatly. I gasped but no air came in. I landed on my knees clutching my stomach.
My eyes were wide and I felt like I was being pulled away from my very body. It was like my soul was being retched out as I was slowly suffocating.
I managed to blink once, only once, then my vision turned red. I felt my brain being squeezed while something seemingly wanted it.
I managed to say a few words before my weak body was out of my control. "Help..........."
I opened my eyes and looked down at myself. I was transparent like a ghost. I looked around and saw nothing but blackness.
"What's going on?" My voice echoed through the darkness in a eerie sort of way.
"You are here to learn, Matsuda," said a icy voice. It caused my to shiver despite my looks of anger. "You are quite foolish, aren't you?"
"What you mean by that?" I asked. I hoped that he didn't sense the fear in my voice. I looked in the direction where I presumed the voice was coming from.
"You are thinking to be that all Digimon are alike don't you?" asked the voice. It seemed to be amused of me. It continued without waiting for an answer. "But you must use you logic. Then again you were never one to be logical were you?"
I opened my mouth to protest but then I felt jabs of pain in my jaw so I had to close it to lessen it. I only could glare at the blackness of whatever place I was in.
"All Digimon are not alike. You see, humans are different too. I noticed that my brothers have been destroying your kind?"
I could only nod silently. I didn't dare to open my mouth once again.
"I can help you destroy them, but first you must destroy the Tamers' Digimon too. They are a much larger threat to me than the wild ones."
"Why?" I abruptly closed my eyes waiting for the shocks. They didn't come. I opened my eyes. Testing my luck I asked once more, "Why are the Tamers Digimon are bigger threat to you? And why should I help you? Obviously you're a Digimon."
"They are befriending the wrong sort. I cannot delete them but I can delete the wild ones for you. I have a temporary deal. You kill the Tamers' Digimon, I kill the wild ones. I will give you power to fight these Digimon. I kill all Digimon, though I am a Digimon myself."
"Why do you kill your own kind?" I inquired. I was curious why anyone would do that. Then again humans kill each other too, but with a purpose. Well, most of the time.....
I remembered hearing gun shots and sirens ringing back in my old neighborhood. Another gang, killer, or drunk hurting others with weaponry.
The voice brought me back to the blackness.
"They are not my friends but foe. I am not killing all Digimon, only the ones you hate and I hate. You don't want your kind to be destroyed now, do you?"
"No," I admitted. I was beginning to think this Digimon was harmless. He only wanted to help humans by destroying all the destructive Digimon.
"Good. Now if you don't want to kill them, just deliver them to me and I'll do the rest. Is it a deal?"
A small voice in the corner of my head protested and begged myself not to do it. While another voice responded saying that it was the only way to stop people from getting hurt. 'If this will make everything back to normal......'
"Okay," I decided. I felt a rush of darkness pour into my chest and I felt it spread inside my body. My eyes glowed a dangerous crimson as the background swirled and returned to it's ordinary state.
A/N: I didn't expect this to be my outcome of this chapter but it did. I kept re-writing this chapter and so many ideas were blended I decided to just write one and stick with it. I already thought out of a Frontier fanfic but it's only because I re-watched episode 28. I'm still waiting for episode 32 to be changed into a Real Player.
I could've put this up a week ago but I didn't because I kept re-writing and editing so much. -_-;; And after I read the Tamers summary I realized that my catch phrase "Rukato Itsumademo" meaning Rukato Forever in Japanese wasn't exactly suiting. It's not very original, except for the fact that it's in Japanese, so I created another one. Also I was too lazy to update it. Gomenasai.
ITSUDEMO RUKATO!! (Translation: Always Rukato) ^^;; Ja Ne!!
I know Ruki wouldn't be some weak girl or nor she is completely the Ice Queen. After I finish this Part I'll show thing in her POV so it'll make more sense.
