Good's Failure! Hope and Light Is Lost

Chapter Seven

MONDAY EVENING: 1800

He knew she and two of her friends had been following him, but he could care less. They were just a few minor problems that could be taken care of. He would like nothing better than to beat them all up at once. It wouldn't be a problem at all. He knew how pathetic they were. On an estimated guess it would only take him one blow to make Davis go down, but he gave TK more credit. He'd say about three blows for TK to go down. The others would be same as Davis, but Takuya and Kouji seemed like stubborn boys.

"You sneak very loudly," Dark said.

Kari, TK, and Davis, and came out from their hiding place.

"Why are you here?" TK asked, nodding his head towards the row of rundown buildings.

"I live here," Dark said, pushing one of the rundown building's door open to reveal a long flight of stairs leading to a door. "I suggest you guys stay down here." Dark said before he started up the stairs.

"Well, I'm not going to wait down here," Kari stated. "I'm going to follow you up." She caught up with him halfway up the stairs, ignoring the objections of her friends. She knew that Dark would probably be irritated by her, but what did she care? She wanted to know how he lived.

Dark only gave one quick backward glance at her. He opened his door and walked in.

The place wasn't half that bad. A bit plain, but other than that it was fairly clean. The wall ahead was a glass sliding door that led to the balcony, but there was curtains covering the sliding doors and only a slight gap was left for a small stream of light to come in. There was a couch, but, to her surprise, no TV. To the right was the counter that divided the living room from the kitchen. There was just a fridge, sink, and a few cupboards. There was a door and she guessed it was his bedroom.

"Nice place," Kari commented.

"Hmph," Dark only muttered before he went into his room.

Her legs automatically walked around the place. She found herself in his kitchen in front of his fridge. Her hand went up to the handle and pulled open the fridge. "Huh?" It was filled with several plain containers. In fact, the whole fridge was just filled with containers. She reached in and took out one. Curious, she pulled it open to find ice cream - chocolate with marshmallows. She went through a few more to find they were all filled with the same thing.

"You shouldn't look through people's things," Dark said.

Kari gasped, surprised. "Sorry," she muttered. "Why are they all filled with ice cream?"

"I like ice cream," Dark said simply.

Without another word, he headed for the door. Kari quickly followed him out before he closed the door and locked it. She was surprised that he didn't get anything. It made her wonder why he had come to his place in the first place. There was just something about this guy she wanted to know about. Somehow, a part of her wanted to get to know him better; however, another part was suspicious of him and wanted her to stay as far away from him as possible before something bad happened.

"Where are your parents?"

The question seemed to have some affect on him. "I don't have parents."

"Oh," she gasped. Had she made a mistake in asking? Maybe his parents had died a tragic death and her asking had brought up bad memories. Err, why did she have to ask him where his parents were? Now he was going to be even harder to get to. Better just drop the subject.

Dark didn't stop walking when he reached the ground floor, he just kept walking. "Tell your friends to bring a pair of sunglasses with them on the trip and you guys should too."

"Hey," TK yelled. "Where're you going?"

Dark didn't answer.

They decided to follow.

After a few minutes walk, Dark stopped in front of a door in an alley. He pushed it open and walked down the stairs.

TK, Kari, and Davis stopped. They had a pretty good feeling that this was a club and they weren't old enough to enter. But Dark hadn't even hesitated, he just walked in. Was he part of a gang? Why else would he have just walked right in without a second thought? They didn't know whether to stay up here and wait for him or to follow him down.

They walked in, slowly.

It was a fairly okay place. A bar to their right, a stage straight ahead with a few tables and chairs on the way, and few different color lights flashing about. Not that bad a place. A fairly decent song was being sung by a person on the stage. And there the place wasn't crowed by older teenagers. Some were around their age and maybe older and younger as well.

"What are we doing here?" Kari asked Dark.

Dark didn't answer her and walked away.

TK's protective gaze he had on Kari, hoping that would make Dark back off incase he had any ideas, were pulled away when he spotted someone. The teenager had to be around his age. She had long hair - it was brown with blonde in it like Dark's. Her legs were leaning against the length of the long chair she was sitting on. Since she was wearing very short shorts, it showed off her smooth silky skin, practically from her thigh all the way down to her ankles. Her arms were bare because she was just wearing a tank top. Her hair wasn't tied, leaving her hair bristling against her neck.

TK's jaw dropped open and so did Davis's when he too had spotted her.

TK was the first to regain his composure and made the first move. "Hey," TK said as calmly as he could, despite how fast his heart was racing from just looking at her.

She looked at him with a lifted brow.

Before TK could say more, a clenched fist came into contact with his chin and he went flying backwards. He crashed into a table, sliding back a bit, and knocking down two more table and their sets of chairs. TK groaned as he stood up and located who had punched him – it was Dark.

"Stay away from my sister," Dark warned.

"Geez, man," TK groaned. "How was I suppose to know she was your sister?" TK just felt like going over to him and beating the crap out of him. How was he suppose to know that someone as pretty as her was related to a jerk like Dark in the first place? All he had to do was say so. He didn't have to punch him and then say that it was his sister.

Kari avoided saying anything, not wanting to make matters worse. Dark seemed to be a person who got pissed off very easily. She knew what he did was wrong, but didn't want to make Dark angrier then he already seemed to be. He could have just told TK that the girl he was about to flirt with was his sister... Wait a minute! Flirt? When he was with her? How could TK have the nerve to do that?

"I'll deal with you later," Kari said to TK as she walked pass him and to the girl. "Hi," Kari said friendly. "I'm Kari, Dark's friend." Kari said, extending her hand. She looked like a friendly person.

The girl looked at Kari's extended hand and then back to her face. "Dark doesn't have friends," she said as she stood and walked over to Dark.

Kari gasped in shock. So, miss drop-dead-gorgeous was like any 'I'm drop-dead-gorgeous and I know it' kind of person. The only thing that was out of place was that she wasn't a rich spoiled brat.

"Try that again and I'll kill you," Dark scowled at TK.

MONDAY EVENING: 1800

The DDs, Tamers, and Frontier gang arrived at the spot where TK had been struck by lightning. Being confused by what Dark had said, Kari and TK decided to tell them what happened. That's when they decided it would be better if they told each other everything out of the ordinary that might happen. It wouldn't be safe if they kept things like that from each other.

TK's, Davis's, Cody's, Ken's, Takato's, Henry's, Ryo's, Kenta's, Kazu's, Takuya's, Kouji's, J.P.'s, and Tommy's jaws hit rock bottom when they caught sight of Dark's sister. Even though TK and Davis had seen her before they couldn't keep their jaw from dropping open.

She was dressed in the same thing, but she had her hair tied in a ponytail. She and her brother were both carrying a duffel bag and backpacks. Dark's Digimon partner was nowhere in sight and if his sister had one it wasn't around either.

Dark's sister walked over to TK and handed him a piece of paper and walked back to her brother.

"What's this for?" TK asked, holding up the paper.

"The one's who aren't coming with us." She replied.

"Then that should go to me," Davis said, snatching the paper from TK. "I'm the leader after all." Davis said proudly and arrogantly. He opened the piece of paper and scanned through it. "Yolei, Cody, Ken, Jeri, Suzy, Kenta, Kazu, and J.P." Davis read aloud.

"Why can't we go?" The ones with their names on the paper asked.

"Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, and pathetic and fat," Dark's sister pause. "Oh, and add the word useless after each pathetic." She had received a gasp from each person who heard they were pathetic and J.P. had even placed his hand over his large stomach. "And before you get mad at me," she said when Kari open her mouth to speak. "Dark said all those things, not me."

Dark placed his things on the floor and knelt down. He began to do some stuff, his sister doing exactly the same things he was doing. Dark opened his backpack and pulled out some rope and tied it to his duffel bag. He started to attach things onto his duffel bag from his backpack.

"No compass?" Takato asked.

"Don't need one," Dark said.

"Aren't you going to tell us what your sister's name is?" Takuya asked. He had the words 'I am totally interested in your drop-dead-gorgeous sister and I have every interest in trying to date her' written on his face and in his voice.

"You don't need to know her name," Dark said, completing his task and slinging his duffel bag over his shoulder the same time his sister did. Their backpacks had disappeared and Dark's sister had an extra duffel bag that looked too heavy for her to carry.

"Need me to carry that for you?" Takato offered.

"You're welcome to try," she said, handing the bag to him.

The minute she released it, the great weight of it brought him down. "What do you got in here? Rocks?" Takato tried as hard as he could but couldn't lift the bag up. He would have asked for help but didn't want to look like a wimp in front of her after offering to help carry her bag. "One, two, three. Three, three, three," he gave a strong yanked with each 'three', but still couldn't lift the bag.

Dark's sister grabbed the bag and yanked it off the ground and over her shoulder with ease.

"What are we suppose to do here?" Yolei asked. "Sit home and knit?" She asked angrily. There was no way she was going to sit around and wonder whether her friends were even still alive.

"I don't care," J.P. said. "I'm going with you and you can't do anything to stop me." J.P. stated. He wasn't going to get left behind just because some arrogant kid said so.

"Yeah," Kazu and Kenta agreed. "There's nothing you can do to stop us from going."

"I kind of agree with him that Suzy and Jeri should stay here," Henry said reasonably. "I wouldn't want anything bad to happen Suzy, she is still kinda' young. And Jeri doesn't even have a Digimon." Henry reminded. "But why can't Ken go? His and Davis's Digimon can DNA digivolve and that would come in handy when we bump into one of the New Breeds."

"There's no use asking him," Dark's sister said. "He won't answer you. I honestly think that they are pathetic and another reason is because he thinks they look the worst. Yolei isn't that great to look at, Cody's hairstyle sucks big time, Ken is just plain ugly, Jeri is I bit slow and she ain't much to look at either, Suzy is just plain irritating, Kenta and Kazu are stupid, and J.P. is ugly, fat, and... I can't even describe the rest."

"You're a bitch," Kari said.

"It's too bad you feel that way," she said. "You must think as Dark as a bitch too since I'm sure he thinks worse of them. I'm willing to bet anything he thinks worse."

"Let's get the hell out of here," Dark reached into his pocket and pulled out a small device. He raised it in the air and it began to shine. Not shine as in a yellow light. It shone black. The one's who weren't coming could only watch the blackness surround the one's who were going. When the blackness disappeared, they were gone and J.P. started yelling that he was going as well.

UNKNOWN TIME

The ones that were allowed to go appeared in darkness. They didn't know where they were. It was so dark they couldn't even see their hands they put in front of their face. The darkness was so thick that they could feel it, so thick that they couldn't breathe. One of them collapsed from the lack of air. The darkness swallowed the sound of the thud from the fall of the person. They tried to speak, but the darkness prevented the sound waves.

As though completely changed from bitch to all so caring mother, Dark's sister rushed over to Tommy who had fallen. She put the thirteen year old's arm around her shoulder's and helped him stand. "Don't think about the darkness, Tommy," she said gently into his ear. "Just breathe, just breath," she whispered the words over and over to him. "Don't think about the darkness and just breathe."

Tommy took deep, long breaths. He did as she said and pushed the thought of how dark it was away. He was going to be okay, at least, that was what she was saying also. "Thanks," Tommy said weakly. "What about the others?"

Dark's sister looked at the rest who were struggling to breathe. "Are we just going to let them die?"

Dark looked at them, not a single fiber in him caring about them. They were weak. The weak didn't have a right to live. It was the truth. What good does the world have with weaklings in it?
