Losing Light: Purification

The Dream

by: lxlRiotGirlx

RG: Hello all. This is chapter five!

Davis: Woot woot!

Kazu: Hey, I have a question.

RG: Yes?

Kazu: Why is Davis always in your introduction conversations?

RG: ...

Kazu: I mean I'm at least 100 times better looking than he is.

Davis-growls-

Kazu: And I'm equally as stupid.

RG-sweatdrops-

Kazu: But no! I'm always in his shadow. I realize that he came a season before me, but really! How fair is it that he's always in the spotlight-build speech melodramatically- What ever happened to equality and democracy and everything else that is on my side of this argument.

RG: Kazu, you never asked to be in here.

Kazu: Oh. -blushes- Hey Riot Girl?

RG: Yeah?

Kazu: Can I do the disclaimer?

RG-nods-

Kazu: Riot Girl does not own Digimon. -grins-

RG: Riiight.

Visions of shadows flooded Rika's dreams. Shadows of death and destruction. Shadows of Purification Day. She tossed and turned in her sleep restlessly as the familiar faces rushed through her mind. A girl, older than she was, with long chestnut hair and magnificent crimson eyes. A young blond girl about the same age as Rika with startling green eyes and a broad, toothy smile. Finally images of Jeri. Most memories, others were images she had never seen before. Images of an older Jeri, a different Jeri. Rika remembered the events of the day and how Jeri looked so alive with her cheeks flushed pink in the winter cold. The Jeri in her dreams had been much like this except she had a wise and knowing look about her. She looked over to the glowing numbers of her alarm clock. They read 3:24 A.M. She sighed shakily into the silence.

"Perhaps they're from the future." She whispered to the darkness of her bedroom. "But that's silly, dreaming of the future. Besides, if that is the future it's an awful place." Watching the moon from her bed, Rika silently prayed that her dream wouldn't come true. She inhaled deeply and frowned. "I need to get out of here." She slid out of bed quietly and dressed herself. Walking silently passed her mother's room she made her way to the front door then opened the front door. It made it's usual annoying creak but Rika paid it no mind and kept on her way, walking through the front door. Stepping into the winter night air, Rika felt the wind blow against her skin in an icy blast of cold. Shivering slightly, Rika began to walk. Unknown to her, she had someone following close on her trail. Unconciously, she made her way to Guilmon's old hideout, soaking herself in past memories. She smiled, whispering, "Guilmon bread."

"He never did get it did he Wildcat?" A voice from behind her said. Ryo she thought, shaking her head slightly.

"Good evening Mr. Akiyama." She said playfully, turning sround to face him. Her eyes met his shining blue orbs. "Fancy meeting you out here at this ungodly hour." He grinned. She could barely make out his face in the moonlight but she knew when he smiled. "Speaking of ungodly hours, what is the 'Legendary Tamer' doing out here without screaming fangirls throwing their underwear at him?" She cocked and eyebrow to him.

"Snuck out." He replied simply.

"Ahh. So Ryo is not a saint after all." Rika teased, grinning at the older boy.

"Somehow I just don't find Saint Ryo catchy. Now Overlord of all Living Beings Ryo I can deal with. King Ryo's not bad either." He looked up to catch Rika rolling her eyes.

"Shut up Pretty Boy."

"But that one's my favorite." He said, smiling broadly at the girl in front of him. "But only because you say it Wildcat." He raised his eyebrow suggestively and winked at her, smirking.

"You're such an idiot." She sneered. He nodded. "But you didn't answer my question. Why are you out here?"

"I had a wierd dream." He said, noticing the growing curiousity in his compainion's eyes.

"Do tell."

"Promise not to kick my ass?" She nodded. "Okay. You were in it, and so was Jeri. Two other girls too. A crimson eyed girl that looked older than you. She had long brown hair. Um, and a blond girl. She had green eyes. Have you ever met them?" Rika was staring at Ryo in shock. He had had the same dream she had.

Four girls stood in a line in intense darkness. The eldest girl, a brunette with amazing crimson eyes, watched Rika's face intently.

"Are you insane?" She asked in a voice full of exhaustion.

"I guess so." Rika replied shortly. She stepped forward slowly, staring straight ahead into the black abbyss.

"Don't do this!" Cried out the blond girl. "You'll be killed!" The girl was in hysterics, tears streaming down her pale face. A genuine look of terror filled her emerald eyes as she cried out again to Rika.

"You know what you must do." A deep voice whispered to Rika.

"Yes. I know." Closing her eyes she muttered something heard only by the three girls behind her. "I need your help." Hesitating slightly, the moved forward beside Rika. Jeri looked over to her and grinned. Rika looked towards the other two and they did the same, the blond girl winking playfully. The brunette smiled warmly and nodded.

"High prietess!" She called out, holding her hands out in front of her. A faint pink glow surrounded her. The blond followed suit calling out to the darkness as the brunette had.

"Strength!" She cried as she glowed golden. Smiling, she nodded to Jeri as if to prod her on.

"Devil!" She yelled, a crimson blast of light flooding the darkness around her. Rika was last.

"Moon!" She shrieked, her voice wavering in rage. A white shot of light filled the remaining darkness. "Let's get this over with."

"No." Rika replied, catching herself. "I haven't."

RG: So sorry it took so long. I've been sick and so much make-up work. Gah!

Davis: It's okay RiotGirl.

Kazu: Please read and review.
