Chapter Six

Tai was upset with Mimi but forgave her. The only problem was that Mimi lost two great friends…Matt and Sora. She turned to Tai with tears in her eyes. "Why didn't I see it? Why didn't I see what they had? I am so stupid! I've ruined so much…" Mimi sobbed as Tai just stood there.

What am I supposed to do? Mimi's crying and upset. I have to do something to try and comfort her. Besides, I hate seeing her so broken. He walked over to Mimi and hugged her as she cried into his shoulder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's night already? Matt looked at the starry night sky through his window with tears in his eyes. His parents were out, and Tk was out with Kari. But that didn't matter, Tk was mad at him. "I don't blame him." He sighed as he thought about how Tk wouldn't even utter one word in his direction. I can't handle this! I finally find love but I didn't even see it! I guess that the saying is true…you don't know what you have till it's gone…

Matt walked in his kitchen and opened the drawer. His blue eyes settled on a metallic weapon. His hands began to shake as he picked up the menacing weapon. He ran his fingers along the sharp edge of the knife. A way to escape the pain…I can't take it anymore. I can't live without her… His eyes closed and a picture of her immediately popped up in his mind. Oh Sora…I wish you didn't hate me…I really can't live without you…

He brought the knife to his wrists. He watched as a trail of crimson droplets began to weave their way out of the cuts. Crimson…just like her eyes…the eyes of the one I love…the one I fell for…the one I hurt and for that, I can never forgive myself. "I'm so sorry Sora." The knife slowly slid out of his hand as he dropped on his knees from the dizziness. He was losing blood, and was losing it quickly. Slowly he laid himself on the cold floor as his wrists throbbed. "Goodbye my sweet, I shall always love you," Matt whispered as his vision began to blur.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora hadn't eaten anything all day or drank anything, and yet here she was. Walking all day. She even kept walking as she felt her feet and legs protest. Weak…that's how she felt. Pain…that's what she felt. I never knew my feelings could run so deep…

Sora stopped at a small stream. It looks so peaceful…no worries…no problems…so carefree. She sighed as she watched the gentle ways of the water before her. I wish I were like that.

The wind began to pick up and swirled around Sora. It was a strange wind…it made her feel strangely warm and loved. She closed her eyes as pink flower petals danced and swirled around Sora.

"Goodbye my sweet, I shall always love you."

Sora's eyes shot open as she gasped. The wind slowly died as she looked around. She could have sworn that she heard someone tell her goodbye…almost like it was Matt who had whispered in her ears. No! That's not possible. He doesn't love me and I certainly do not lo-oh who am I fooling? Of course I love him. How stupid was I? I fell for him and actually thought that he was falling-

Sora never had the chance to finish her thought as she suddenly became dizzy and slumped into a pair of arms. The figure smiled down at the girl. Perfect, I have her now. A black and red portal appeared about a foot from them and he walked through, carrying an unconscious Sora with him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt could feel himself getting lighter by the second. Slowly, he began to float in the air. He looked down to see him! Well, his body. He gasped as he realized he was dead.

"Yamato Ishida," called a voice.

"Who said that?" Matt asked in alarm. Where'd that voice come from? And no one calls me by my real name…

"Step through the light."

"Who are you and what li-" he stopped when he saw a white doorway with a golden light illuminating the room. He floated toward it and took a step through the doorway, which he was pulled through immediately. Bright lights flashed past Matt and then suddenly…

Thud!

Matt fell onto a soft carpet. Am I in Heaven?

"Oh young Yamato, what did you do to yourself?"

Matt got up quickly and eyed the figure suspiciously. "Who are you? And where am I? Is it heaven?"

"No my dear boy, it's the Digiworld."

Matt's eyes widened as he repeated, "The Digiworld? Why am I here? And who the heck are you?"

"You really don't recognize me?"

Matt shook his head. "Should I?"

"Well I guess not. I'm the future Gennai."

"Future? Gennai?"

"Have a seat," Gennai said as he motioned to a soft plush couch. "In the future, a demon named Daficus will attempt to take over the Digiworld and Earth. And what's more, I am afraid Sora does not exist and all the Digidestined in this world were killed. Well, all except you."

"Me? And what do you mean Sora doesn't exist?"

"She doesn't exist in the future because Sora was taken from this time and brought back to the future, the moment you died."

Matt gasped, "What?"

"Daficus needs Sora to release all the dead, evil Digimon and demons."

"But why Sora?"

"Because she is the most powerful being on Earth. Within her, she has the power of love, and a pure heart, which I assure you, is very rare. I do not have much time before I return you to your body. I've contacted your Gennai. Now listen carefully, you must rescue her before it is too late and bring her back. You and the rest of the Digidestined must meet at Izzy's house. Tell him to check his e-mail. You all need to get her back, but Matt, it is you that will have to protect her. Your Gennai will explain more."

The familiar white doorway appeared behind Matt. He glanced behind him to see it. Oh no… "There's something else isn't there? What aren't you telling me?"

"I'm sorry but in time you will find out."

Matt could feel the pull of the doorway. "No, wait! You have to tell me! Gennai!" yelled Matt as he flew through the doorway and was thrown into his body. He opened his eyes and he gasped as he realized he was alive. He looked down at his wrists. "Was that all a dream?"

"No…" whispered a voice.

Matt's eyes widened. Then Sora's been kidnapped! He jumped up and rushed to the phone to call Izzy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora's eyes slowly fluttered opened. She could feel her heard swimming. I feel so weak… Sora slowly sat up from the cold stone table she was lying on and looked around her. She was in some sort of room. Her eyes traveled around the dimly lit room to the cold walls and a little window with bars. To the far right corner of the room was a small toilet and sink. And of course, an iron door with a window and bars stood formidable. "Where am I?" I know I was by a stream.

"Open the door," said a commanding voice.

Sora turned to see a Bakemon opening the door. She stared curiously as a man who looked to be about twenty stepped in. His black hair was parted down the middle, and his eyes were a beautiful shade of violet. He was a handsome man and wore an outfit of black with a deep purple velvet cape. She noticed a sword in his belt. The man took a step towards Sora, who did not make a move. "Who are you? And why am I here?" she demanded bravely, as she looked into his eyes.

His eyes twinkled in amusement. I have never met any girl who didn't tremble at my sight. His hand touched her chin, and to his surprise she didn't shudder at his touch. He took note of her glaring down at his hand. "I am Daficus, the Demon Prince, and soon to be ruler of the new and improved Digiworld and Earth." His eyes narrowed dangerously and he gave her a stare that would send any normal person screaming away.

Sora closed her eyes for a moment. I will not show my fear to him! Her eyes snapped open in determination. "Why am I here?"

Daficus raised an eyebrow. She has spirit… His hand left her cheek and he stepped back to look at her. He let his fingernails grow two inches, becoming pointed. His strong legs carried him around her as eyes began examining every inch of her body.

Sora's back stiffened at the way he was looking at her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood a little straighter as his hot breath assaulted her skin. I don't like the way he is looking at me… "Why am I here?" she repeated firmly with her eyes and head straight.

He smiled as he saw her stiffen and then walked around to face her. "Because I need you to fulfill the prophecy. You are strong, very strong." He took his right index finger and let his nail travel on the smooth skin of her neck. She flinched slightly as his fingernail traveled to the collar of her dress. His gaze couldn't help but wander…

Sora blushed slightly. "Stop that," she said as she pulled away from him.

"Feisty," he grinned as his fingernails returned to normal.

"My friends will come for me and wipe that sorry little grin off your face," Sora said angrily.

"Your friends?" he laughed.

"What's so funny?" she demanded.

"My dear, you really have no idea where you are. You are in the future Digiworld and all of the future Digidestined have been killed. Well, except for that friendship guy."

"Matt…" Sora whispered.

"Yes, Yamato Ishida. That rat keeps spoiling everything," he said angrily as he clenched a fist.

Sora stood there, silent. Matt's alive and everyone else including me has been killed…

As if reading her thoughts he spoke, "No Sora, you weren't killed. You never had that luxury. You see there is no future Sora because I took you from your time. So, you never had the chance to go to college like the rest and fight me. But I suspect that the Gennai of my time somehow warned your Gennai. Your friends are probably on their way here. But if they couldn't fight me when they were older, how can they fight me now?"

Sora glared at him.

"Well since you'll be here for a very long time, I might as well make you comfortable." He walked up to the cold stone bed and put his hands on it. A black light came out of his hands and the cold bed was now one of a silk canopy of dark red. The power also put matching curtains on both barred windows and turned the floor into a dark mahogany. "Hmmm…it's missing something. Aha!"

Sora gasped as the walls also matched the floor. Before her eyes, she saw a closet appear, a screen around the toilet and sink, even a shower behind the screen. She looked at Daficus curiously. Why is he doing all this? She also saw a table appear near her bed. A gasp escaped her lips as she saw the two doors to the closet open to reveal a small drawer set to the side and clothes.

Daficus looked at Sora. It was fun to watch her reaction. He heard her say, "I don't understand this." He simply replied, "You will in time. A mirror, that's what I forgot." Near the closet, he put a long rectangular mirror and a dresser on the other side of the closet. He used his dark magic to make a plush black carpet cover the floor. He turned and left a shocked Sora.

Sora looked at the closed door. Her eyes traveled around the room to her bed in the middle to the dresser, closet, and mirror on the left and a bathroom on the right side. She walked over to the bed and gingerly sat down. Soft… She felt the bed sheets and comforter. Silky… Her crimson eyes then fell on the little table that had a few catalogs on stacked on them. That wasn't there before. On the catalog in gold and black lettering it said to pick out anything you like or need and it will be delivered to your room. "What? How?"

Her eyes widened as the lettering changed. She read the new message aloud, "Put your finger on the picture of the item." Sora walked to the bathroom and looked around at it. Her hands touched the screen wall. Well at least it isn't sheer. She also saw a cabinet with a mirror above the sink. This bathroom is empty… She walked out of it and sat on the bed. Might as well give it a try… She shrugged her shoulders as she picked up one catalog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yamato paced back and forth, waiting for Gennai. Suddenly he saw him appear. "It's about time. I've trained the Digimon and they're all asleep now."

"Sorry Yamato. I did have to talk to your younger self and Gennai. You know Daficus is holding her now?"

"Of course I do. When are those Digidestined going to get here? We can't wait too long for them. I need to save Sora." Yamato closed his eyes, remembering when he first realized his love for her...

~*~Interesting turn of events isn't it? So, what do you think so far? Why is Daficus holding Sora? What is his purpose? Will the Digidestined be able to save her? Will Matt and Sora ever be together?~*~
