A/N-Okay, this is Star Light here. This story, which some of you may remember, was posted a while ago. I took it down, because I didn't have a lot of time to work on it, and wasn't getting much feedback. True to my word that I would never leave a story unfinished, Light's Battle is now back in commission. Enjoy!
A/N- Ok, about the story. It was written a long time ago, and has more than it's share of suckiness. Um, let's see… warnings. This story contains a little Takari, (I just can't help myself with those two!) and a little minuscule amount of Taiora. Not much in the language, violence, or romance department (hence the PG rating). Not a big deal.
Ages:
Kari/TK/Davis-13
Tai/Matt/Izzy/Sora/Mimi-16
Yolei-14
Cody-11
Ken is still the Digimon Emperor. (Actually, I'm not sure. Nothing about him is in here, so it doesn't really matter.) Just pretend it took a really, really long time for them to defeat them.
Summary: Kari gets trapped in a different dimension, where she finds a new evil and a new ally.
As in all my stories, please R&R. I really appreciate the feedback. Any questions you may have can be asked in a review, and I'll answer them next chapter. Flames can be sent directly to the person in charge of that department, Myotismon.
Myotismon: Die, flamers! HA HA HA!!
Star Light: Myotismon! Heel!
Sorry about that, everyone. He got kicked out of six obedience schools.
That's all that I can think to tell you about. This author's note is going to get longer than the first chapter! Enjoy the first chapter!
Light's Battle
Chapter One
It was a normal day for Hikari Yagami, most commonly known as Kari. She was sitting in math glass, praying for the bell to ring to signal the end of the day. She twisted a piece of long, auburn hair around her finger, sighing. She had the beginnings of a migraine. Gazing around the room, her gaze met TK Takaishi. He gave her a secretive smile, hidden from the teacher's view. She managed a weak smile back, before turning back to the front of the room.
The teacher, an old, bald man in a too-small vest, droned on about pies, or something. Personally, Kari couldn't care less, unless they were chocolate. Math wasn't her best subject; it just didn't make a lot of sense some times. The only thing that did make sense to her right now was the ringing of the bell. She sighed in relief as she gathered up her books.
"Finally! School is out for the weekend! Do you have any plans this weekend?" Davis Motiyma came up from behind her and asked.
"No, you?" Kari replied.
"Not if you don't," Davis said coyly. Kari smacked him playfully in the shoulder. "Just kidding!" Davis defended quickly. Ever since defeating MaloMyotismon, Davis had dropped his crush on Kari, and had become really good friends with her and TK. He had finally learned TK's name, too.
"Boy, I thought that'd last forever. What are you guys doing?" TK appeared at Kari's side.
"Nothing, just Davis being stupid. ("Hey!") So, do you have any plans this weekend?" Kari asked as they moved out of the classroom into the hallway by their lockers.
"No, you guys want to get together sometime? I'm free all weekend," TK said. The three had reached their lockers. Kari twirled her combination lock, trying to ignore the throbbing in her temples.
"I just have soccer practice tonight," Davis told them, pounding his locker door when it wouldn't open the second time.
"Oh, that's right. I have basketball practice right after school. I forgot about that," TK groaned. Feeling even dizzier, she leaned against her locker briefly.
"Are you ok?" TK noticed her and asked in concern. Kari covered her eyes with her hand for a second before replying.
"Yeah, I just have a headache," Kari muttered. TK slipped an arm around her shoulders and Davis leaned on the locker next to her.
"Are you going to be able to get home?" TK questioned softly. Kari nodded silently.
"Gatomon is probably wait for me outside," she replied finally, managing a small smile.
"I can skip basketball practice if you need me to," TK offered. Davis nodded to show his agreement.
"No, you guys go to your practices. I'll be fine," she said firmly. The three friends said their farewells and the two boys watched as Kari walked down the hallway.
"Think she's telling the truth?" Davis wondered out loud.
"Not for a second," TK replied grimly.
********************
Outside, Kari looked for Gatomon, but when she couldn't find her, she started home alone. Along the way, Kari felt someone watching her. She glanced around, but didn't see anything. Trying to shake off the feeling, she continued home.
The feeling got stronger. Looking over her shoulder, Kari saw a figure in black behind her.
"TK? Davis?" She called. No answer.
"Guys, this isn't funny anymore. I'm scared," Kari whispered the last part. Still no answer. She sped up. He did too. Throwing caution to the wind, she broke into a run for her apartment building, which was only two blocks away. Behind her, she heard the footsteps break into a run too.
She flew into the building and pounded up the steps.
"You know, it really stinks that our apartment is on the fifteenth floor," Kari puffed. The figure in black was gaining on her. Reaching her door, she grabbed the doorknob and twisted.
It was locked.
Praying desperately for someone to be home, she started pounding on the door.
"Let me in!!" She screamed. The black-cloaked figure reached the top of the stairs. Kari turned around and pressed her back to the door.
"Hikari Yagami," it stated in a cold, sinister voice. Kari's breath caught in her throat.
"I have something you want," he continued in the same tone of voice.
Suddenly, the door behind Kari flew open and she was yanked in. Losing her balance, she fell to the floor, the door slamming shut in front of her.
She looked up to see the face of her older brother, Taichi, or Tai, staring down at her speechlessly.
"What the hell was that?" he growled, pulling her up. Kari didn't respond, just went over to the peephole.
"I think it's a Digimon," she said with uncertainty.
"I'll call the others," Tai replied, moving toward the phone. Kari kept her look out position by the door. The figure was still just standing there. Tai picked up the phone receiver and listened for a moment. He set it back down again.
"The phone's dead," he said grimly.
