Courageous Angel
Chapter 4: A Little Note
"...Is he ok?" A faint voice above.
"...Not sure, Tailmon."
And then everything came into view.
"Ugh.. Wha, what happened..." Taichi said groggily, rubbing his head
which was giving him a killer headache. Hikari and Gatomon was by his side, an
egg on his desk nearby.
"We should be asking you that," Hikari replied, while getting out a
cloth and dabbing Taichi's forehead. "But if you mean what happened after
you burst through the door, well. I heard the door open from my room. I was
reading studing for a test tomorrow by then and figured it was you so I didn't
bother to get up. Then all of a sudden, a chill came over me- like some evil
had slipped into the house. I heard quiet voices outside, and then a thud on
the floor. When I got out to see what happened, the evil presence was gone and
I found you lying on the floor with a puddle of blood around your right leg.
Tailmon and me helped you into your room and onto your bed where I tended to
your leg and all. Tailmon helped me clean up the blood outside. You're just
lucky mom and dad aren't here, they'd be freaked and everything. So Taichi,
what happened to you? And I'm guessing that digi-egg is Agumon?"
"..." Taichi looked away from Hikari and Tailmon, who was on the desk
next to the egg.
"...Taichi," Hikari said with a comforting tone, one that always got
him to talk.
Taichi sighed in defeat. "...Something. Something happened. That's all you
need to know." Thoughts, replays of what happened chased each other in his
mind. He was confused. Lost. It was all a blur, a bad forgotten memory that had
been brought up again and stung his heart.
'Why...' he thought, 'You could've left me, I would've been ok Agumon... You
wouldn't be in that egg right now if it wasn't for me."
Taichi knew Agumon would come back, but when? Even if he would, it still
felt... Like an old friend who died, even if he would come back.
And deep in his heart, Taichi himself knew Agumon just did what he had to do,
but was it right? For Agumon to fight when it was Taichi, not Agumon, who that
person wanted? Taichi, he was strong enough to do this by himself, right? It
wasn't fair, he could fight by himself. He can by himself. And he will
fight by himself.
'I can do this myself, and I will! I don't need to endanger the life of any of
my friends!' Taichi thought fiercely.
"...Maybe we should let Taichi get some sleep," Tailmon suggested,
"Then when he feels better, he can tell us what happened."
"Good idea, Tailmon," Hikari replied. She dropped the cloth she used
to dab Taichi's head in a bowl of water that was near his bed, stood up, and
with Tailmon, walked out the door.
"Goodnight Taichi, get some rest. Tomorrow's another day."
"R-Right..." Taichi responded softly, "Another day..."
~*~
Darkness. Again. What...
Laughter. Once more.
"Shut the hell up!!" Taichi shouted out in anger, "Who the heck
are you and why are you after me? You've found me now. And I want some fucking
answers!"
A chuckle. It sounded colder, nearer, more evil. Taichi shivered.
A sudden light.
As quick as it came, it faded and in it's place, there was a digiegg. Taichi
ran towards it and picked it up.
"Agumon! That you?"
"Heh... He can't hear you, boy. ...And with no one to protect you now,
I've won."
"Never." A cold fire gleamed in Taichi's eyes. A volcano's flame that
was about to erupt. "Never. I'll never give up. I won't let you win, you
bastard!!"
"Oh, but I already have..."
A sudden feeling of ice flowed through his blood. His breath came out as a
small wisp of mist. Taichi turned and saw him.
A figure in black, with the wings of a fallen angel... Black like the darkness
around it. If possible, even darker... All Taichi could do what stand and stare
in awe.
"Wh-What are you..." A murmured whisper of shock.
"None of your concern!" A snapped and angered reply. The grip on
Taichi's shoulder grew tighter. Taichi's brain suddenly woke again and he tried
to twist free, and failed.
Scared, cold, frightened, useless, alone. All these emotions swelled up in him.
Like all his fears and sorrows, all the bad moments of his life was thrown at
him. The time he almost lost Hikari and Sora. The times he could've got himself
killed.
Taichi shut his eyes and turned away from the being, trying to struggle free.
It wasn't like all his fears were thrown at him, they were.
'This is just a dream... Just a dream...' Taichi thought to himself, 'It's not
really happening, and all that stuff. A-All of it... It was the past. I live in
the present now, not the past... I won't stop fighting, it's not real...'
Through his eyelids, Taichi saw a light shine. He opened his eyes and was
surprised that it was himself that was the light. Where his heart would
be, the crest of courage was. It surrounded Taichi and the digiegg, the grip of
the hand was loosening.
"WHAT! What's happening?" The figure drifted away from the light. A
bright flash again. And all was light.
In the midst of it all, the digiegg must've dropped from Taichi's hands or just
floated away, cause now it was before him.
A cracking sound, and the digiegg hatched. Emerging from it was a Digimon, but
not one Taichi had ever seen- or thought he saw. It was... was like a larger
form of V-mon.
...This wasn't right, wasn't that Agumon's egg?
Taichi couldn't see this Digimon's face or anything though, a shadow fell
around the creature and hid it. Not an unfriendly shadow though.
The light bathed Taichi in it's warmth, all of his fears were washed away,
replacing it with a sense of safety and cheer.
"I've seen this Digimon before..." Like a memory, it stirred up
something in Taichi's mind. He didn't know what or why, but this, this whatever
it was. It was something from a vague memory long ago.
"Taichi..." Faint, but heard. "Taichi..."
"Who- What... are you?"
"Not an enemy," it replied. "Not an enemy. Do you
remember?"
"Remember what?"
"How it happened, long ago. Do you remember me...? Do you remember what
you must do..."
"N-No.. Wha... Remember what? I don't understand..."
The digimon began to fade. "Don't you remember... Don't you remember...
Long ago..."
"WAIT! Please!! What do you mean?" But he was too late. All that
remained of the existance of the Digimon was a note that flew towards Taichi
and landed in his out-stretched hand. He looked at it and read the five words
on it.
'Yuuki wo Tsubasa ni Shite'
~*~
Taichi awoke and opened his eyes. The light was streaming through the windows.
And beside him on his bed, was a piece of paper...
~*~*~
