*Okay, I know I abandoned this chapter for a while, but at least it wasn't
as bad as with the last one. Now, don't kill me if this sounds really
corny, but I need to establish the different sides, so...*
Nick: She ditched it. Again.
Alexa: So like her. Have you no conscience?
Nick: Her conscience ran up a tree.
Alexa:
*Anyways, I'm horribly sorry for the delay- Again. Anyways, since school's over, the next chapter will hopefully come faster. I hope. Oh, and can someone please explain to me the concept of 'chan' and 'san'? I get mixed up between which is for who*.
:::Jeri, can you hear me?:::
What?
:::It's me, your Light. I'm here to help you. :::
You're here to what?
:::My help is needed.:::
Huh? No it's not.
:::Yes it is. You're miserable. :::
I can deal. Trust me. You're being kind and all, but can you leave my head?
:::Not till my job is done. :::
Listen, let me sleep. I've been having a rough day.
:::I'm here, Juri. Don't worry. :::
About what?!
:::You.:::
Please, lady, get out of my head.
Strange. When I was awake, her presence had confused me. But now, it almost feels...like I can talk to her. As if it's normal for people to be talking in people's heads. Probably because I'm asleep and my mind doesn't want to think right now.
And I'm somehow....nicer? I don't know. Much nicer than from before.
:::This is your true self, Juri. :::
Huh?
:::This is who you are. Not that lonely, confused girl. :::
I'm not lonely! I have friends! There's Nikki, and Kenta, and Kazu, Takato...
:::Your light is level with mine. Show me your light, Jeri-chan. Let me take your light and make you happy. :::
WHAT?!?!?!
:::Allow me to feed your light. And you and I can leave this horrid world to peace.:::
I....don't understand you, ma'am. She sighs.
:::That is what always happens to misguided inhabitants of Light. :::
I'm beginning to think you're more than what you say you are...
:::I am your key to happiness.:::
What?
:::Do not lie to me, Juri. I can bring you what you want. Just listen to me.:::
How would you know what I want?
:::I am inside you, Juri. Don't bluff. I know what you truly desire. :::
FLASH! I see me, my father, and my mother laughing at the dinner table.
:::See, Juri? You think I don't know. This is what you used to have. But you don't. And you want it. :::
How could you possibly bring it back?
:::I have my ways, Juri. Not the actual memory, but the happiness you had then.:::
I think you're bluffing.
:::You do, do you? Well, let me show you what else I can give you.:::
FLASH: My brother runs up to me, laughing and yelling to me, "Juri! Guess what! It was all a trick! I'm not going to die. I never had a disease!".
:::Your desires can be fulfilled, Juri.:::
I gasp, and yell out into the black void in my mind, "Leave me alone! Stop messing with my head!".
:::I only want to help you, Juri chan. Can't you see that?:::
You're not helping a bit! Now get out of my mind!
:::Juri, I know you too well for that. You just don't want to believe that I can bring you. I know you better than you know yourself, Juri. I can see the desires even you don't know you have. :::
FLASH: A blurry, sweet face with crimson eyes looks at me, smiles, grasps my hand-
:::I know what you wish you could have. What you could take back. :::
FLASH: Beelzemon reaches a hand to thrust into Leomon's gut, but I stand up, slide a speed card through my yellow D-Power- Leomon dodges the blow, lives...
Stop! What happened happened, okay?! You can't change that! Please, leave me alone!
:::I will not leave you, Jeri. Not till you accept the Light inside you...:::
The blackness around me fades out into white, and I see yellow light flickering across my face. I'm wearing a pure white dress, so white and unfamiliar to my eyes that it blinds me. A sweet, high pitched jumble of notes is filling my ears. My skin is radiant, like the sun, and my hair, instead of being the blood red I've gotten accustomed to, is a brilliant auburn.
And I notice something much more sweeter than the notes- laughter.
"Where am I?", I whisper.
:::You are inside the Light that has been preserved inside your aura. :::
"Aura?", I ask.
I look around me. Families are playing with each other, digimon laughing with them. The sun is a bright yellow, like daisies.
This is my aura?
I see a familiar red-headed woman.
"Mother?", I whisper.
She turns around, and I see her beautiful smile, and she runs to me, grabbing me in her arms. "Juri! Sweetie!".
I laugh, smiling, tears running down my face, hugging my mom. My father is behind her, laughing with joy.
A hear a rich handsome voice from behind me. Spinning around, I nearly faint at the sight of a magnificent golden lion.
"Leomon!", I gasp.
'Is this real?'
:::It can be, Juri. If you let me give it to you. :::
'I...I...'.
I look at my surroundings, see my mother's beautiful face, who has haunted me in my dreams, a reality?
'I...don't know...'.
Leomon my digimon, is smiling at me, reaching his hand to me. I take it.
What do I have to lose?
'...I...'.
Why am I hesitating? Okay, one, two, three-
"Yes", I whisper into the daisy of sun that blinds my vision.
I wake up, shivering. Getting out of bed, my heart swallows the sun, and I am filled with an inner warmth. I have a sudden sense of everything being perfect in the world- no worries...
::::Light.:::
That one word explains it all. She is here. And she is bringing comfort to my weary soul. An involuntary smile draws itself across my lips. I want it to stay like this. Forever.
:::I told you you'd like it. :::
She is right. I love it. I feel so...full...of love.
:::Why don't you walk out? See the Light that surrounds you. :::
I run outside, laughing and giggling, spinning in circles, feeling that everything is right with this world. A strange yet homely feeling swarms inside me, covering the darkness, completely blanketing it...
I feel so full of pure refreshing light, endowing me and energizing me...
:::You like it, don't you, Juri? :::
"Yes...I do!", I cry, laughing.
If this is what the Light can bring me on the first minute then I want it. I want to have this sense of security and beauty. I want this Light, and I want it to cover up the loneliness that has been trying to destroy me for so long, ebbing away my soul piece by piece.
A grin on my face from ear to ear adorns me as I run across the road to fall flat onto the cool dewy grass of the park. It's so refreshing here, like a spring fountain spurring down my throat. I don't want this to ever leave. Ever.
Getting up, I see a young boy holding a soccer ball. He grins up at me, and says, "Hey, silly girl! Do you wanna play?".
I smile, and as he throws it to me, I purposely miss, hoping it'll bring a laugh out of him. Which it does. I immediately, with reflex, begin laughing with him. I'll never leave. Ever.
After I'm done playing with him, I go to a very familiar bakery. Walking in, I smile involuntarily when I see Takato stuttering at many growling customers, covered in cookie dough. Finally noticing me laughing my head off at him, he grins sheepishly and waves to indicate he'll see me later.
When Takato finally got everybody's orders, he wiped his forehead, and walked up to me, eyelashes dotted with flour. "Hey Juri", he says casually, taking off his gloves.
"Hi Takato!", I giggle, then reach out to hug him.
"Eh...", Takato mumbles as his face goes scarlet.
When I let go of him, he grins and asks me, "Do you want to go with me to lunch? The whole gangs' coming- we're having pizza".
"Sure!", I exclaim.
Then, after realizing I just accepted, I look at him strangely, wrinkle my nose, and ask, puzzled, "What's pizza?".
Takato falls over to the floor.
"Well, what is it?", I ask, peering down at him.
"Eh...I'll explain on the walk there", he mutters, grabbing my arm to lead us out of the bakery.
I'm not sure, but I think I heard Takato say, "Jeez, she musta hurt her head harder than I thought...".
*Read and Review. I swear I'm sorry I lost my grasp on this fic, it's just been outtas my mind for a while now*
