Hello Minna, I took a bit of a break from writing, but I'm back now!
Muse: A 'bit'?!
*smacks Muse over the head with keyboard* Yes, a bit, now quiet you!
Muse: *opens mouth*
I SAID QUIET!!!!!!!!
Muse:*shuts mouth*
That's better! By the way, Happy New Year minna! If your reading this while it still IS the new year, that is..if I've finished it soon enough..well, anyway, on with the fic. It's filled with my usual dark, angsty stuff, along with the normal humor, but a bit more other DD action than usual..
Muse: Shut. Up.
Chapter 1
Deep in the darkness of Ash Forest, a shady shadow stirred, disrupting the enveloping stillness that surrounded it. Naturally, this shadow was cast by a creature, though what species that creature was, it was impossible to tell. With the face and body of a human, it did not look a thing like a Digimon, so that was ruled out. But judging by the fact that her/his hair fanned out in feathers and his/her hands were made up of shimmering scales and sharp claws, it was obviously not human, either. The speciesless creature was laying on the cold stone floor of a deep cave, far down at the very bottom. He/She had moved for what seemed the first time in many years, as a thick sheet of dust had settled around his/her form. The creature stretched it's long, pale arms and skipped the yawning part of the scene, going straight for the part when it howled in agony and hatred.
It dragged itself up from the floor, it's face covered in vengeance. It reached out a clawed hand and pressed it in a long crevice in the cave wall. Then, when the wall opened to reveal a path to a brighter, peaceful land, it's eyes glinted dangerously. "Those children are not going to get off this time." It whispered to itself, limping down the path towards the light.
Hikari squealed happily as she jumped over a fallen tree in Odaiba Park. She had grown her soft chestnut hair out and had pulled it up in a ponytail, and at the moment she was hurrying to the annual celebration of the Digidestined. After defeating Malomyotismon, they had decided to hold only one celebration a year, and had settled on this day to hold it. It had been a year since that final battle, and since then not a single foe had arisen in the Digital World. Hikari was more enthusiastic than usual to gather, as she had been cooped up at home with nothing to do for almost two months. She ran into the clearing where they were meeting and immediately was hugged by Mimi.
"Hikari!" she cooed, letting go of the brunette. "Oh, I missed you all so much! I mean, America's great and everything, but I just can't get as close with my friends there as you guys!" Hikari cast a look around at everyone, already gathered there, and judging by their faces they'd all been given the same welcome. "Hey Meems" she said, and walked over, planting herself between Miyako and Takeru, casting a warning glance at Miyako. The violet- haired girl gave her a look that reminded her that she'd devoted practically the whole past year to flirting with Ken. Hikari giggled and purposefully brushed her hand against Takeru's as she reached for a rice ball.
Jyou raised his glass for a toast. "To a whole year of peace!" he said. The others echoed him and drank their various drinks. Sora made a face at Yamato's drink. "How can you DRINK that stuff?" she asked him, eying the liquid as though she was about to gag. Her boyfriend just smiled and took another drink. "It's good!" he insisted. "Ugh.." The red-head muttered as she watched Yamato down more tomato juice.
Koushirou set his laptop down on the grass next to him as he reached for a bottle of Ginger Ale. Mimi plopped down next to him. "What IS it that you do on that thing?" she asked him, nodding towards the computer. He looked up at her and smiled slightly. "Here, I'll show you." He said, opening it. "I usually get on the internet, usually on Buildit.com.*a/n I made this site up, I don't know if it exists or what it really does* That site has lots of things to add to your computer. But I bet there is lots of sites you'd like, too." He said.
Taichi and Daisuke sat by a tree, arguing over the last soccer match of the year. "Oh come on, that was completely justificated call! He completely did that on purpose!" insisted Taichi. Daisuke refused to give, though. "No way, I was right next to them! I saw with my own eyes, it was a puddle that made him trip!" "IT HADN'T RAINED IN THREE WEEKS!"
Takeru felt his gaze wander. Hikari was talking about something-some show, he thought-and normally he would have jumped at the chance to talk with his best friend. But for some reason he couldn't hold his attention on her, or anyone else for that matter. He couldn't concentrate on anything lately.
"Takeru?" asked Hikari, touching his shoulder. He started and turned to her. "Huh?" he asked. "I asked you whether or not you thought Meltrina and Vilrock would get together." She said softly, looking at him curiously. "Oh, uh..sure." he answered not-so-brilliantly. Hikari didn't look convinced. "Well, I'm gonna go gossip with Miyako, okay?" she said, and walked over to where Miyako was eating rice balls with Ken, who looked distinctly embarrassed.
So Takeru resumed staring into space, watching the wispy white clouds stretch and change as he lost himself in his thoughts again.
