Chapter 15: All or Nothing
A/N: This whole chapter is narrated by Kiku
After meeting up with Sakura, I ran into Koushiro, then I went to the Digital World. That's when I decided that I was truly done with the Real World. I really missed my brothers and parents, but...
I'm done seeing Takeru and Hikari too. I told them to stop coming. I was tired of seeing them so happy, while I'm here, alone...
Not that I'm complaining. A little Koromon has really taken to me, and he visits me everyday. It's nice to see someone who doesn't believe in "love" and someone who doesn't expect me to be anything but me. Digimon are a lot more understanding then people give them credit for, really, they are.
"Kiku? Is something wrong?"
I looked up from the book I was reading to see Koromon sitting in front of me, a frown very distinct on his face. I reached over and patted him on the head.
"Nothing's wrong. I'm fine," I lied, not wanting to trouble a little Digimon's mind with something he couldn't understand...
"Gennai told me that you were in a concert a week ago, and that's why you were gone. Will you sing for me?" Koromon asked. "Please? Little Fairy?"
I grinned, and began to hum a tune. Koromon closed his eyes as I began to sing. I found myself singing the same song that I did at the concert. Part of me wanted to stop right then, but, the stronger half wanted me to continue singing.
"But if tomorrow you would say,
That you were going my way,
Then baby, tomorrow's too far away."
My song was cut short by Gennai when he entered my room. Now it didn't matter much when he did that, because he seemed to know when the right time to enter was.
"Koromon, why don't you head home?"
Koromon nodded, then hopped out of the room. Gennai sat down next to me on the bed and gave me a weak smile.
"I'm sorry Kiku. I didn't know about Sakura."
"It's okay. I don't blame you," I assured.
"I still feel responsible."
"Don't."
Gennai and I froze as we heard someone climbing the stairs to my room in a hurry. We watched as Sora ran in the door, panting.
"Kiku!! You have to come with me!!" she exclaimed.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because!"
"Because why?" I asked, more firmly.
"Taichi's getting married!"
I froze. You cannot even begin to understand exactly what was going through my mind at the moment....
Taichi is getting married...Not to me...I have to go...I have to stop him!!
Without saying anything to Gennai or Sora, I ran out of my room, and soon found myself in the Real World.
It's all or nothing Kiku. I thought asking Taichi to the dance was the hardest question I ever asked...But now I have to ask him to leave his wife....

A/N: Really short chapter, I know, but it was just to do the intro to the next one, which is most likely going to be the last chapter...So...Yeah! R&R!!
