Well, I wrote this up pretty quick, considering the idea took a few school days to write. It's just dialogue, and I hope it's not against the rules.

And thanks to MegaGamerPiro- hope you get your new story out soon.

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon or anything to do with it. I just have a pestering muse and overactive imagination.

Pure

"...What was it like?"

"What?"

"...being purified."

"...why this all of a sudden?"

"...you don't have to tell me..."

"...it's okay... I, uhm... the first time, well, it was kinda dark."

"Being purified?"

"Before that. It was dark before... unclear. As if I was in fog. I couldn't remember, I couldn't think clearly. All I felt was anger and jealousy."

"Did it hurt?"

"Somewhat. On a deeper level, underneath it all, I guess I was hurting. I... I don't know. I wasn't really in any pain, in a sense... it's hard to say."

"So, what did it feel like? I mean, being one who has been purified, what did that sensation feel like?"

"...it felt... like being ripped in two. Being purified felt like being ripped apart. The fog that I felt was torn away... and I could think again. Everything flooded back to me like a wave."

"Sounds sorta painful."

"Heh, too metaphorical?"

"Mmh. Keep going."

"Well, like I said, it was just this huge tearing feeling. Inside and out. Like... a knife right through it all. Then I felt free."

"I did that?"

"Hey, yeah. Thank you."

"But, weren't you hurt?"

"Not really. You didn't hurt me..."

"But you said being purified felt like you were ripping in two."

"Yes, but don't confuse that tearing feeling with pain. It didn't hurt, it just felt like being... being free. Torn away from the chains that bounded me."

"You're right. Too metaphorical."

"Heh, well... I don't know how else to describe it."

"Hn... well... what about being scanned?"

"Huh?"

"The... the time you... when you... sacrificed... yourself."

"..."

"Nii-san?"

"It was different. Uhm..."

"Different?"

"..."

"I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me."

"...Well... what do you want me to say?"

"You don't have to say anything. I'm sorry..."

"...it's okay. I... where should I start?"

"...Just... what was it like? ...Where you scared?"

"Yes... I really thought... that, you know... I really thought it was the end for me. I thought I was really going to die. But... I was willing to accept that. I knew that by sacrificing myself... I knew that you could save the whole world. And you did."

"...Yeah. Thanks to you."

"...yeah... hey, Kouji?"

"Hm?"

"You mind telling me the story again?"

"You mean the Last Battle? How many times have you heard that already?"

"Oh... I dunno... I can't keep track. Please, Kouji?"

"Alright... make yourself comfortable..."

Owari

I sorta left it hanging. This kind of dialogue has run through my mind late at night more times than one, and it seemed decent enough once I wrote it out on paper.

Sorry about Dream Wave. I still am determained to finish it. It just is on haitus untill more inspiration comes...
For now, I got too many other ideas running around in my mind... thanks to Ryu, of course.

R&R, arigato!
