Takeru's p.o.v.

I sat up in bed when I heard a creak from the door. 'Mom's home and I guess I'm lucky she can't see their or my blood.' I mused as I threw on my night clothes and opened the door.

"Welcome home m-" I froze the door was wide open and know one was there. 'Could they have got in? But I didn't sense them.' I thought and quickly cleaned up everything. I went to pick up my D-3 but it wasn't on the floor. It was moved from its spot by the door.

"Tee-Kay. What happene-"

"T.k. it's me Matt. Come to Tai's house when you get this message." I stared at the phone and then my clothes. 'I dared to look at the clock and saw that it was only two in the afternoon. My clothes bloody and torn, what am I going to wear now?' I locked he apartment door after putting Patamon on as my backpack. I was wearing a black dress shirt with a red tie and grey jeans with my black boots.

"psst t.k. what do you think the others want?" I adjusted my backpack a little to signify that I felt uncomfortable. Patamon was the only one who could read my signs. My body language and understand what I want or need. I inhaled and then exhaled as I stepped out of the elevator into Tai's floor. I was technically a genius a way smarter one then Ken. And no one knew it for many reasons.

"Teeks, we were wait…ing for you. What's with the get up?" I resisted the urge to slap myself. I wasn't even wearing my fisher hat. Just, a regular black baseball cap.

"Well I was going to pick up mom and go with her on her dinner date with our cousin." I hinted to Matt praying that he would understand where I would go later. It was true and I didn't want to be anywhere near him right now. 'Nope. He didn't get it.' I thought as he let me in and put something in my hand. The door slammed closed as I saw my bloody D-3. I looked at them and saw everything turn gray.

"T.K! We have to g-" I watched as Patamon fell to the floor and a hand grasped my neck. My D-3 fell from my hand as I tried to pry it off.

"w-With hopeful light… I banish thee creature of the night!" I managed to choke out. The creature screamed and so did I as it bit my neck. I picked up Pata and my D-3, I took off running. I made it to the elevator before anyone could reach me. I put my hand on my neck and stared at the crimson liquid.

"You alright? I mean everyone saw."

"They only saw us and the blood. No one but us and the sovereign can see them. Only us because it is my burden. My… curse." I stepped out of the elevator and walked to the par where mom said I should pick her up. Amazing how my wounds, bruises, and blood is not noticeable to anyone but the destined. And well the digimon.

"Takeru. Come on Sherry and Willis are waiting in the restaurant." I followed mom while thinking about the digimon. They bow before me and call me Hope. When we entered the restaurant it screamed fake to me. It was supposed to be a French one, talk about ironic. We're all French and sitting and eating fake French cuisine. I had Patamon still on my back as I sat down and didn't realize it until he yelped in pain when I leaned back.

"So Nancy, Takeru how have you been? Me and Willis have been talking non-stop about seeing you. And also Willis can't stop talking about his girl named Kari." So he does like her then. Not like I care. She cheated on me for Davis so I shouldn't care. I only ordered a cup of lemonade since I wasn't very hungry. I could hear or rather feel Patamon's stomach growl. So I snuck a couple of breadsticks under the table for him.

"Takeru, honey you okay? You haven't eaten or talked much. And you seem a bit paler than usual." 'Damn I'm slipping up. I used to go for days like this. And even with out sleep.' I thought as I smiled and drank my lemonade. When we left it was around ten at night. Willis and Sherry were coming to live with us since they couldn't pay rent anymore. By the time we got home I could barely stand up on my own. Willis was helping my out a little. ' I owe it to him to tell him about Kari.'

"Will. Kari isn't the girl you think she is. She cheated on me with Davis. She might hurt… you like… me." I said and for the first time tears fell down my face since that incident. We started going out after malomyotismon, that was about two years ago. I'm thirteen now. Willis hugged me as I cried and whispered words of comfort.

"Shh. It's okay Takeru. I guess my crush on her will have to be forgotten. And to think that she has the crest of Light."

"the others knew. And they never told me. I had to find out myself the hard way, and after that I kind of lost touch with them all. I always made excuses not to hang out. I gave up on life." I said and put my hand over my mouth realizing that I spilled my dark secret. He smiled sadly and made his self comfortable on my bed.

"Sweet dreams Takeru." I nodded and closed my eyes. This will be the last time that anyone will say that. Because when he finds out what it is I have done he will hate me. I looked at Patamon who was on the computer playing a stuffed animal as our aunt came to check on us. She left and I turned away from Willis to go to sleep.

"Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel" I whispered and closed my eyes. (song from last chapter. The Rasmus Lucifer's Angels.)
