Chapter 3: Strike by Night

~Kim's POV~

That night before dinner I called my parents telling them I wanted to come home. After a ton of persuasion they agreed to pick me up at the air port next Saturday. I tried to get an earlier arrangement but it wasn't possible.

At dinner I told the Minamotos I had to go back to America. They, as in the parents, begged me to stay a bit longer. But my decision was final, no one could change my mind not matter what.

That night I went into the digital world taking Gatomon. After a few hours of wandering around I came to the dark gate. I went in without hesitation. Gatomon followed me obediently.

And then I heard it. a deep, grave voice.

"Kim Unhashawai. Your friend is wrong you know. You've always been right. If you become my faithful follower I will grant you power beyond measure. Is that a cat?! Get rid of it this instant."

"Shoo Gatomon. Get lost, you're now wanted here anymore," I snapped still trying to figure out where the sound had come from.

A digimon slowly appeared before me. I got bigger and bigger until-

~Kouji's POV~ That night right before I went to sleep my d_terminal began beeping. I pushed a button at random and Lady Ofanimon's voice rang out like it did countless times. It broke the silence with her soft voice.

"Kouji Minamoto, your roommate is terrorizing the digital world."

This caught my attention and I sat straight up.

"What?!" I exclaimed a bit alarmed.

"Kim has joined with the dark side. She was promised power and it was given to her. But by who, I do not know."

"Alright, I'll come."

And with those last words the light blue light coming from the screen faded away.

Was this my fault? If I wasn't soo-agh! There's no time for that now.

I went on line and entered a chat room.

WolfofLight: Did you get the message?

WarriorofFlame: Loud and Clear

Windgoddess: We better meet in the digital world tomorrow

Asiandragongrl03: what location, lady Ofanimon didn't tell me

Darklight: same

WolfofLight: dido

Windgoddess: sigh*

Asiandragongrl03:let's just pick location- suggestions?

Windgoddess: bean stalk village?

Asiandragongrl03: k

WolfofLight: then it's settled

Windgoddess: How about 3:30 our time?

Asiandragongrl03: I'm in Japan you know. I forget to e-mail you guys when I came. But I gtg. Ttyl.

*Asiandragongrl03 has left the chat room*

WarriorofFlame: soo.

WolfofLight: I gtg 2

Windgoddess: bye!!!!!!!!!

Darklight: ttyl

*WolfofLight has left the chat room*

I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. My thoughts floated around my head like the misty water. I laid on my back in my bed to relax some more. And I wonder if it was my fault that she tuned evil.

A small voice in my head said: It can't be your fault. You only knew her for two days. Actually less than that.

But another voice interrupted: You just gave her the shove she needed to become evil. So it's part of your fault.

~Asia's POV~

That night I was soo tired I feel asleep instantly. But then I had this dream. There were five colons of me arguing.

"It's your fault she turned evil"

"No it's not! She chose of her own free will"

"I lived a harder life than her's and I didn't turn evil. That girl needs to learn how to deal with her problems."

"It's none of our faults. She was tempted and she failed to-"

"How was it not our fault she-"

"This is stupid"

"It's not our fault"

The voices got louder and louder as they continued to argue. Then when it felt like my head was about to explode I woke up.

I was drenched in sweat. Turning to see what time it was I breathed heavily. It was 8 o'clock. In two and a half hours I would need to meet the others.
