Serendipity
My first try at Sorato…one of my favorite couple in Digimon.
Uh…I hope people would like this and um…I don't own digimon…never did and probably never will.
Chapter One - Orientation
Her warm brown eyes stared vacantly at the object in front of her, her feet carried her slender figure and guided her around the obstacles. Her auburn hair gracefully tumbled with the playful wind. Her elegance and beauty demanded attention wherever she went, all eyes followed and lingered on her.
She herself never noticed any of the attention attracted, her thoughts has already taken her too far, her imagination has carried her too deep. Her name is Sora Takenouchi, she is a Dreamer.
~A Dreamer…is a story weaver. A Dreamer spreads hope and courage to all those who listens to her, a Dreamer is a keeper of sorrow and fear. A Dreamer is never lonely, but she must place all others before her need…~
"Sora!" A distinctive high pitched feminine voice called her back to the reality. "Hurry up! We are going to miss the judgement!"
"Mimi, we have at least an hour before the judgement starts." Sora protested. Nevertheless, she hurried towards her pink hair friend.
"I am so excited!" Mimi shrieked as Sora approached her. "I know I m going to pass!"
Sora rolled her eyes at her friend's excitement. "Seriously, how lame can they get? We can pass this course and become Supreme Dreamers just by telling them what love is!" Sora was exasperated, she always thought that to become a Supreme Dreamer, she would have to go through torture. This was just too easy! She has done all the preparation she needed to pass this; read the encyclopedia, searched on the internet, watched a couple of sappy movies and quoted from a few romantic novels. How could she go wrong?
As they arrived at the Hall, a large crowd has already gathered. They have all come to witness the two most talented Dreamers this year to achieve a higher level of power, knowledge and responsibilities.
~A Dreamer is one step away from Destroyer…those who captures dreams and turn them into nightmares. Destroyer spread sorrow, uncertainties and fear. Destroyer is the fallen dreamer…~
The crowd cheered and wished them good luck as both girls entered the Hall, everyone that is, except for Yamato.
Yamato's icy blues stared at the auburn hair Dreamer. He loved her, he loved her so much that he prayed that she would fail the test and join him as a Destroyer. He understands that a Dreamer and a Destroyer cannot be united, as the unity will bring chaos to Dreamers and Destroyers alike, but this is just the chance he needed to keep her by his side.
"Please, please let her fail. Please let Sora be with me…" his silent prayer slithered through the ornamented doors and traveled to one of the courtrooms where Sora stood confidently awaiting for the judgement to begin.
She shivered a little, feeling the chilling wind gracing her. Somehow, it made her slightly nervous. However, she still has time to calm herself down, they won't begin on her until they have finished with Mimi.
"Mimi…" Sora murmured and smiled sweetly, she has no reason to doubt her friend's success. Mimi's approach in defining love has been quite literal, she went out with a couple of different guys and eventually, fate lead her to Jyou - her perfect match.
They have been practically stuck together. Sora knew that although Jyou claimed that he cannot make it today, he will be here at the end, no matter how busy he is.
Sora's gaze trailed out of the window and into the crowd below, hoping to catch a glimpse of his unique blue hair and confirm her suspicions of the couple. Unmistakably, the tall blue hair young man stood out from the crowd.
Sora smiled.
As her gaze swept across the crowd, she caught a glimpse of another hiding in the shadow.
"Yamato!" She gasped, the shadowed figure reminded her of Yamato, the fallen Dreamer.
For as long as Sora could remember, Yamato and her had been classmates. His handsome blue eyes and golden hair made the girl swoon over him, but his cold demure and attitude kept everyone well away from him. Sora had never liked him much, there were times when she caught his gaze transfixed upon her. Every time, Sora could not help but to feel fear and annoyance. She could not help but question herself, 'what did she do to make him so rudely stare at her?'
However, all her evil thoughts of him are dispersed now. Yet the thought of him could not help but remind her of the soft, gentle and sorrowful kiss he forced upon her before his judgement.
He branded her his in front of everyone.
Somehow, Sora does not hate him as much now. It actually allowed her to understand that underneath his had façade, he had passion, emotions and a burning heart. However, that did not make Sora love Yamato either, he did after all, stole her first kiss.
He left after that, and never came back. As time passed, everyone has slowly forgotten the existence of Yamato, only Sora rarely remembered him. He was never that significant in anyone's life anyway…
Sora was still in deep thoughts when the judges entered. From their relaxed and joyful body language and facial expression, Sora guessed that Mimi has passed with flying color. Now it is her turn to fly.
As the judges motioned, Sora began to recite the notes she had made . However, no sound came out. All she could think about was pain and hatred, she just could not remember what she had prepared.
What is love? The question echoed in Sora's mind, but she just cannot remember.
"Love is…is like…like candies…"She stammered, trying her best to remember the poems she have read and act as if she had confidence. But acting was never her strong point. Her heart faltered, this proved to be much harder than what she expected. She knew she is bound to fail. She will become a Destroyer, just like Yamato.
"Love demands patience and is really complicated. This girl likes that guy or vice versa and something happens and they separate and they always get back together." Sora reflected upon the past few weeks and summarized the first romance novel she could remember, "sometimes there is adventure, sometimes misunderstanding and some is just being together every moment possible."
The last reference was simply inspired by the relationship between Mimi and Jyou. Sora at that moment could almost bless their annoying midnight phone calls.
However, her vague answers only raised a few quizzical glances from the judges.
"Are you sure you are ready?" One of the judges paused the procedure an asked Sora, "because by the rate you are going, we could do nothing but to fail you." The judge was blunt but truthful.
To be honest, Sora herself has already lost all her self-confidence and her perfectly created answers. She simply shook her head. She need to do something now!
"I don't know." Sora stammered, trying to compose herself yet unable to stop the tears congregating to form waterfalls. "I really don't know!"
Her outburst silenced the judges and for a moment, Sora held her breath. 'This is when they'll fail me and I will be reduced to a Destroyer.' Negative thoughts filled her mind. Her heart can no longer anticipate for the evil tidings.
"I am sorry." She muttered, yet she understand that whatever she say can not save her.
The judges paused their whispering and gave Sora a look of disappointment.
"Not as sorry as we will be to lose someone as talented as you are." One of the judges smiled sorrowfully at her, "but we have come to an agreement that we will be lenient this time and give you one more chance."
Sora lifted her crestfallen face, disbelief was written all over it. "You meant it!" Her voice slightly excited. She would give all she had for that chance to reprove herself.
The judges nodded.
"However, you will only have one week to prove yourself worthy of the position of Supreme Dreamer. One week Sora. One week."
Their words echoed in her mind as she raced down the stairs and out of the Hall, ignoring the crowd curious to know the verdict.
"One week…" Sora muttered as she flew home. She has only seven days.
Thank you for reading the first chapter of the story. ^^
