Secretmirror180: Hi everyone!
Miyako: Am I going to be in this chapter?
Secretmirror180: Hai! EVERYONE WILL! *Smiles* ^_^ Not really, but I just want to make my peoples happy.
Daisuke: You're on a sugar rush.
Secretmirror180: WATCH IT MOTOMIYA OR I WILL HURT YOU…AGAIN!\
Daisuke: Yikes! *Runs*
Secretmirror180: Oh yeah…IORI!
Iori: *sigh* Now? Okay. She doesn't own digimon. Oh and she would like to thank the following:
EvilVidel: For being a good friend.
Jemma27032: For being her cousin, helping her, and being another good friend.
KarenSedai: For correcting her horrible Japanese and giving a nice review.
Celestial Star: For liking…Takeru? And Sora thanks you as well.
LightHopemayshine: For reviewing. Secretmirror180 says that Sasao-sensei calls Takeru '–san' because he has great respect for him. Also, she knows Takeru's mom is Nancy, but she wants to put in her Japanese name since everyone else has his or her Japanese name.

Chapter Three: Talks and Diaries
Last Chapter:
Nani?! Takeru?!" Hikari yelled. Taichi and Tailmon busted in on their little Bearer of Light. Hikari eye's widened and she hushed then as they entered.
…HIKARI!!!!!!!
"TAKERU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW:
"Hikari. Hikari, what's wrong?" her older brother asked. He walked up to her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Hikari…?"
"Takeru…" she said with her eyes wide open with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I heard him…I think he's in trouble."
"Where is Takeru?" asked Tailmon as she walked to Hikari's feet.
"He's lost. Takaishi-san called and said he was missing…Taichi. I'm scared. I think he might have done something because of me!" She started shaking and hugged herself. "It'll be my fault if anything happens to Takeru."
"IIE!" yelled Taichi. "No it won't! We'll find him. Does Yamato know?"
"Hai. His Okaa-san told him. He's out there looking for him."
"I'll contact the others. Are you sure you're okay? I can call Daisuke, or Okaa-san, or Otou-san over."
"I'm fine…but call Miyako over."
"It's okay Hikari," said Tailmon. "Why don't you sit on the bed? It usually makes you better."
"Hai…" Hikari kept on thinking, hearing the same words Takeru said to her this afternoon.
Aishiteru Hikari-chan. Aishiteru and…sayonara.
"What did you mean Takeru?" she whispered to herself. After a while Miyako came bursting in with Poromon. She told Poromon to stay outside the room. Tailmon followed to keep the pink digimon company. Taichi walked inside to say he was leaving with Yamato.
"I'll be back soon. Okaa-san and Otou-san will becoming soon. I told them about everything so they might leave you alone. Patamon is in the living room too. If you two want anything to eat, everything is in the refrigerator. Don't touch anything that's green though. Most likely it's been there a month. Oh and if you see anything labeled 'Okaa-san special' or 'Surprise'…don't eat it! Well…ja na." He closed the door and left.
"Hikari! Kobanwa! Genki?" asked Miyako with a happy grin. She sat next to Hikari and looked at her weary friend.
"I'm not in the mood Miyako."
"Gomen. I'm sorry Hikari. You just looked so sad…che. You're going to make me cry!" Hikari made a light chuckle has Miyako reached for the imaginary tear. She then started to laugh harder and she had to hold her stomach to stop. She stopped but still was crying from joy. Miyako starred at her friend as if she was crazy.
"Arigato Miyako. Domo arigato! Thanks for making me laugh. I've been to depressed."
"So…why did you need me?"
"Well…you know how Takeru is missing…"
"Hai…"
"I think…I think I caused it."
"Naze? Why would you think that?! Oh the whole Daisuke and you being together…I could have sworn he gotten over that. I mean you've been dating him for a while and…" Miyako continued to talk until Hikari looked up.
"He told me something. He whispered in my ear right in front of Dai-kun."
"Nani?" Miyako asked with curiosity. She sat closer to Hikari so she could listen closely.
"He said…he said…he said he loved me."
"Wow."
"Then he said good bye. Do you think that is what he meant Miyako? Do you think he was trying to tell me he would leave?"
"Well…ano…ano…ano…I don't know. But that was major. He told you he loved you?!"
"Hai. Naze?" Miyako sprang up and was really happy.
"KAWAII!!!!!! That is soo cute!! Wow you are soo lucky!" Hikari did the famous anime sweat drop and smiled weakly at her friend.
"Why do you say that?"
"Ken never really says that. But they way Takeru said it must have been romantic! I wish Ken would do something like that for me."
"But…I felt something. I don't know why. But I sort of felt…lightened; I think would be the word. But I love Dai-kun…right?"
"What do you think Hikari? What do you feel when you kiss him, Daisuke?"
"I feel safe."
"What do you feel when you are around Takeru?"
"I feel…" Hikari sat there and thought about it. She never seemed to notice that. When she was around Daisuke, she felt different. Different from when she was around Takeru. She felt happier, and uneasy. "I never thought of that. I don't know Miyako."
"Then think about it!" she shouted. She looked at her watch and jumped up.
"SHIT! I have to go home. I promise Hikari to help you and Yamato look tomorrow, kay? I'll see myself to the door. Ja na!" Miyako left and Tailmon with Patamon went in. Tailmon leaped onto Hikari's lap while Patamon dived for her hair.
"Takeru is going to be okay right Hikari?" asked Patamon as she fell asleep in her hair.
"Hai," she said. She giggled as the two digimon snored while they 'rested'. "Go to sleep you two." She tucked the digimon in her bed and stood up. She walked out of room to wait for Taichi and turned off the lights.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"HIKARI! GET UP YOU LAZY YAMATO NADESHIKO!" yelled Taichi. He took his sister's blanket and pulled it off of her. She rolled over and woke up to see Taichi, Tailmon, and Patamon hovering over her.
"Ohayo to you too 'Nii-san," she retorted. She stood up and looked at the clock, "AHHHH!!!!! I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!" She rushed around the room looking for clothes and pushed Taichi and the Digimon out. Inside she changed as quickly as she could while Taichi stood in front of her door.
"It's Saturday, Hikari," he said through the door. He moved slightly so Hikari could open the door. She opened it very slowly while looking at the floor. (A/N: Imagine the purple lines on her head like every anime character gets when they are spooked, shocked, or something) Hikari slowly went up to her brother and stopped when her head reached his back. He grinned and reached for his sister. But she looked up and tickled him. He laughed hysterically and even dropped onto the floor. Hikari kept tickling him. Tailmon starred at her partner and sighed while Patamon laughed and was even starting to cry.
"Is this how you guys wake up every Saturday?" asked a voice. Hikari looked up and saw a rather spiky haired blonde. "Ohayo Hikari, Taichi."
"Ohayo Yamato!" called Taichi as he got up. He scratched the back of his head and looked nervously at his friend. "How the hell did you get in here, my tomodachi?"
"Your parents. They're leaving to visit your sick Oji-san or something. How is it that your relatives always get sick, Taichi?" Yamato walked into the kitchen and grabbed a soda from the frig. He tossed a soda to both Taichi and Hikari. Then the looked in the frig again and threw a couple of Iori's Grandfather's 'Prune' juice. Yamato opened up his drink and walked toward the group.
"Don't tell me Yamato you came over to my house to lay around and do nothing!" screamed Taichi. Yamato grinned at his friend and sat on the couch.
"Iie. But now you gave me the idea…" Yamato teased.
"Hahaha," retorted Taichi. "Why are you here Yama?" Taichi joined his friend and sat on the couch. Taichi flipped on the TV and looked for something good. Patamon flew over and sat on Yamato's lap while Tailmon was civilized and sat on the couch.
"I have something for your sister."
"She's got a guy already. Did Sora dump you that fast?"
"Funny Tai. It just so happens that Sora and I are engaged and are getting married in a couple of years." (A/N: *cries and wails* My Yamato…iie! *blows into tissue*)
"Yeah. You think that'll last?" Yamato snapped a warning look at his friend so Taichi backed off.
"You have something for me?" asked Hikari, finally. She walked up to her brother and Yamato and sat down with them.
"Better get this over with," whispered Yamato as he took something out of his back pocket. It was a green book with the word 'HOPE' written across. It also said 'Property of Takaishi Takeru. DO NOT OPEN! If my Onii-san is reading this be prepared for some ass kicking later!' Hikari giggled a bit and took the book from Yamato. She starred at Yamato with a confused face, which made him sort of nervous.
"Why did you give me your brother's diary?" she asked. Yamato took a deep breath and said everything really fast.
"Well…ano…you see…I don't want to read it in case I read something there I don't want to read and you probably know all his secrets, since you're his best friend and all that and well I really don't want to invade his private life, but I thought about reading…and…*takes breath*…and I'm not going to read it. *Slower*It might contain something that will help us in our search. Might even tell us where he is, though I doubt that."
Hikari stares at Yamato and nods a couple of seconds after he finishes. She slowly walks back to her room with Tailmon following her. She closes the door and sighs.
What a morning, she thinks. She sits down at her desk and looks at the book. It seemed Yamato tried to open it previously, but couldn't get the whole thing open. She took her hairpin out and tried too. Worked like a charm. She flipped through the pages and read s little of each.
April 4(A/N: I don't know the real date, I don't care. :P)
Dear Dia…Journal,
I just got home and I already made new friends! I met this girl named Inoue Miyako. She's kind of perky, but nice. She reminds me of Mimi, who moved to New York. Then I met this kid named Hida Iori. He's shy, I think. Very much like Jyou and Koushiro. Very Scary. Then I met this guy named Motomiya Daisuke. A crazed Hikari fan I'll tell you that one! Oops! Gomen. I didn't mention Hikari. I saw again today, for the first time in years! She's beautiful! I couldn't believe that was her. We were only kids when I last saw her! I guess people do change.
-Takeru
Hikari flips through more pages and finds one about Malomyotismon.
Journal,
We did it! We finally beat that creep! Not a long entry today since we're going for a victory meal soon. Sora is paying (A/N: That's payback Sora!). She insisted. ?.? How is she going to feed 13 hungry people? Taichi counts as two. The digimon are getting a separate meal. Did I mention the seats at the restaurant are two seaters? Now's my chance! Gotta go! Ja ne!
-TK……………..
Finally Hikari turned to the last page. He wrote one final entry, one that made Hikari cry. (A/N: I make her cry a lot!)
Dearest Journal,
You have been a wonderful companion, but your pages are finishing and I…can't write anymore. I've been distracted. I can't tell you why though in case Yamato reads this. The dark ocean doesn't seem like such a bad place to stay now. I don't know why. It just…does.
Hikari doesn't like me. But I still do her. Damn it why does everyone like her?! Shouting doesn't help. But it sure makes me feel better. This is good-bye I guess. So good-bye. And Hikari…I know you're reading this if I'm gone. Yamato either gave it to you or you found it. So…aishiteru.
Ai
Takaishi Takeru
Hikari dropped the book and now the shadows cover her eyes and nose. The last thing you hear her say is…
"The Dark Ocean…"
