"Now where are Sora and Joe?"

I open my eyes, and find myself on the edge of the soccer field. Ken is looking around, while Wormon is hiding in the trees. Ken slowly turns around to look behind us.

"Now, where could they have got-"

"Ken! Kari!" a voice calls, interrupting Ken. Ken swivels around, and we find Sora and Joe sprinting towards us.

"Oh my God, Kari!" Sora exclaims as she reaches us. She lifts me out of Ken's arms, and stares at my knee.

"Oh Kari," she sighs sadly, turning to me. I move closer to her. "Thank God Ken found you, before…" She looks to Ken.

"Thank you for finding her Ken," she says warmly. Ken smiles.

"That's ok," he replies, Wormon climbing into his arms.

"Thanks Ken," I mumble, turning my head to face him.

"Your welcome Kari," Ken smiles warmly. Ken's so nice to me; I guess he understands what I'm going through, even though I fully don't. I'm so confused…

"Well, we'd better get back to the hospital," Joe states, stepping forward.

"Yeh," Sora sighs, following Joe. She turns to Ken, "Do you have to be anywhere, or do you want to come with us?"

"I'll come," he replies. "I told my parents I'd be home soon, by dinner at the latest, so I'm fine." Sora smiles gratefully. We walk along the path silently, not having anything to say. I slip back into a reverie of my thoughts.

I wonder how T.K is? I really miss him… I really miss Tai… I miss Tai's cute cheeky smile, his energy, his caring love for me and everyone else…he does anything for me…he'd do anything for me. And now…what have I done to him? What have I done to him after all he's done for me? I've killed him. I've killed his outgoing spirit. I've destroyed his strong character. It's all my fault…But how? How did I let all this happen?

"You were ignorant," the nasty voice answers. "You let T.K collapse and nearly die. You let Matt overdose on drugs. You stopped Tai from helping him. You were so wrapped up in your own little world that you didn't stop to think of other people."

That's not true! It's not! I didn't mean to fall sick! I can't help it!

"Yes you can. You're so selfish…you're supposed to be the Child of Light, and here you are, sending everyone into darkness. You're a burden on everyone. Look, Ken carried you all the way to the footpath, and Sora's carrying you to the hospital. You're a burden on their responsibility."

But I don't mean to! I didn't ask them to carry me! I would've walked, but they won't let me!

"If you're not a burden on their responsibility, you're a burden on their conscience. 'Oh we can't let poor, innocent Kari walk on her injured knee! She's been through sooo much…she won't be able to walk. I'd never be able to forgive myself if I let poor innocent Kari walk all by herself!' Don't you see? You're a burden on everyone. Imagine how much better the world would be without you. No more poor, innocent Kari to look out for. Poor Taichi put through all that pain when you fell sick when you were little. All the pain you caused the Digidestined when they finally found you, and you got yourself captured. All the pain you caused Tai when you fell ill in the Digital World. All the pain and tension you've caused with the new Digidestined. And now… you've finally destroyed your brother, scared all your friends out of their minds, and dragged them all down with you in your fall to darkness. And you're supposed to be the Child of Light? Hah."

I can't think of a response. It's all true… every single word. I've always been a burden on somebody at one time or another.

Why can't I ever get anything right?

I'm falling…my happy memories…slowly slipping away…the dark memories are surfacing…taking over…swallowing me…pulling me back into terrible times I wish I could forget… pain…suffering…Taichi… all my friends… icy breaths of wind circle me. I curl into a ball, desperately trying to keep warm. I hear voices in the winds. People calling my name…people screaming out for me…people crying… I cover my ears, wanting to block out the sound. The voices continue around me. But another sound enters the fray. I open my eyes, and find myself in a void. A black, endless platform. A person stands in front of me, a highly elaborate blade (is it a blade?) pointing towards my neck. The winds are now circling this weapon. The person's eyes glint.

"Goodbye," the voice hisses. That voice…

The blade pierces my chest.
