It'd been a week since the chosen had returned. Thing however had gone non to well. After the attack at camp, several more powerful digimon began to turn on the chosen children. Somehow empowered by darkness, the chosen seemed to wane from battle, almost afraid of it.
All but two; Taichi and Hikari Yagami. The group knew the two were strong willed but, it was almost uncanny how it was happening.
Koushirou had determined it was the power of Miracles that kept them safe, but why the others were so afraid was unknown.
"I still don't get it Koushi-kun, I mean if Darkness empowers the virus digimon, and Cowardess keeps us helpless in fights, the what would the other sins do to us?"
The child of serenity asked, smiling as she looked over her boyfriend's shoulder viewing his laptop carefully.
A faint blush from her closeness as he cleared his throat. Smiling oddly as he explained his theories further.
"I believe, that when all twelve Miracles are together, in the form of the chosen children, then the sins can be sealed once more. Further more, I've found a little something about the one who took Daisuke."
"What!"
Covering his ears, from his girlfriend's cry of shock, she drew the others near. Face a deep red, the child of knowledge only continued as the all listened intently.
"After talking with Gennai, I've discovered, through his archives of coarse, that the first virus was the first sin of the digital world."
"Wha? So that thing…wasn't man made?"
"Apparently so, or rather it was man made at first and something happened to it, another possibility is that it was originally a digimon that fell into darkness, or the virus corrupted. There's no data to prove either though."
The group nodded as Taichi looked the screen over, licking his lips before he asked his question hopefully.
"So…can you tell me where Daisuke is…?"
At this Koushirou grinned, his eyes seeming to sparkle as Taichi looked hopeful.
"I thought you'd never ask, After finding out just what these 'sins' were, I created a program to scan for them, taking into account the thing that took Daisuke was called 'Despair', I'm 99.9 sure now, Daisuke is there."
A slightly tanned finger pointed to a mountain top, a map of the digital world revealing to be Virtue point.
"What! But isn't that where –"
"Where our crests…and the virtues we possess were harnessed? Yes.."
"Then…we have to go back to where this all began?"
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy Taichi…"
"What? Why not…it's not that far a walk, only a few hours –"
"What I mean, is Despair isn't that stupid. He knows with every Miracle we harness another sin we set free. Even though we and our partners are protected from the sin's the rest of the digimon aren't."
"So…you're saying…"
"With every Miracle we harness, another sin we set loose to torment the digital world…and what's worse yet…soon after they're released they take on digital forms…"
"They turn into digimon?"
"Correct, but that's not what's really important….we have to destroy these sin digimon in order to take out the barriers surrounding the peak of the mountain."
"…."
"I'm sorry Taichi…but you'll have to wait a bit longer before we can save Daisuke…"
"….Thanks Koushirou…."
"No problem, I'm working on a program now that'll scan for the sin digimon's locations."
"Great…I'll be taking my watch now, keep up the good work…"
"Thanks...I will…"
With that the group dispersed, off to their duties for the moment, before another battle was sure to ensue. The child of Serenity how ever had other plans.
"Kou-Kun…?"
"Yes Mimi?"
"Why didn't you tell Taichi-kun, you'd gotten your Miracle…?"
"I….didn't want him to feel any worse then he already does…"
"Oh….don't you think he'd be mad if he found out on his own?"
"I…don't think he'd really mind…though…now that three of us have our Miracles…Daisuke should be well conscious, even if he can't move or speak yet."
Mimi nodded, looking up at the clear blue sky, her eyes traveling towards the peak of the once beautiful Virtue point.
"We're hurting this world…."
"What?"
Her eyes down cast she looked towards a dying flower at her feet.
"In order to fight this evil…we have to find the Miracles…and when we do…we drain the digital world of that virtue…but…also…we let loose a sin to fill that void…are you sure we need this power to save Daisuke?"
"Mimi…"
They were both silent for a bit before the child of Knowledge smiled, his hand guiding her chin to meet his face. A light kiss was planted upon her lips, causing her to blink.
"I love that about you, no matter what the out come or what's on the line you always think of the big picture and of just who it involves…."
She smiled blushing slightly from the kiss and his words.
"But you don't have to worry, when we defeat the sin digimon, we'll free the digital world of it once and for all, so…think of it as spilling soda and cleaning it up.."
With a bright smile upon her face, the chosen of Serenity hugged her boyfriend tightly, planting a rather large and sloppy kiss on his cheek.
"This is what I love about you, Kou-kun…no matter what, you can always make me smile."
It was once again Koushirou's turn to blush as he laughed a bit nervously, his girlfriend giggling as she stood.
"I'll go get started on cooking lunch, I hope you have more luck."
With a quick peck on his cheek, he sighed watching the chosen girl run off with her partner he smiled, his eyes turning to the laptop screen he began once again with his programming hopping to finish before another attack.
