Hi Everyone! This is Zelda's Spirit93
Anyways as far as anything goes, I have adopted this fic from Shara Raizel and also animepotterfan
(Well mostly Shara Raizel but yeah)
Anyways down to business, Special thanks to the original authors for the story, and for Shara for allowing me to adopt the fic :)
~I do not gain credit for the idea or the beginning of the story. On another note my writing style is different, but I will try to follow the original writing as best I can, I promise.
*I also tend to use note and numbers to clarify some parts of the story.
They usually look like this: (NOTE 1,2,3...)
So keep a look out for that ;)
Also, I follow the Japanese version of the anime, but I do remember bits and parts of the English Dub (well the one I grew up with lol)
So be aware that the dialogue will come from the sub and dub. (but it will be mostly dub since i grew up with it XD)
...
I also usually write in 3rd person
The majority of the story will take around Sora's and Hikari's/Kari's Point of View, along with a few other characters once in a while, but mostly those two. In addition. I do not plan to write every single episode and scenes since well... some of them don't 100 percent pertain the plot completely. And obviously since Kari is here instead of Tai, there will be changes and such. Along with a few added scenes.
But yeah that's about it.
With that out of the way, here we go :D
~Hope you like it Shara Raizel (and maybe animepotterfan) :)
Enjoy
Chapter 4: Gotta Keep Moving Forward
The cool breeze flew through the air the moment Sora took a step out of the cabin. She inadvertently gave a small shiver, and maybe a small rub or two on her arm to warm her bare arms as best as she could. But for the most part the gentle wind is tolerable. Her crimson like eyes scanned around the grassy and partially wooded camp area, ahead she noticed some of the students like herself also running outside of their cabins to get in some of the summer camp fun.
'Sure has gotten a bit cooler since we got here…' Sora thought to herself, considering that they only got here since this morning.
"Hey Sora." Izzy greeted, his black eyes remaining on his yellow laptop.
Sora blinked before turning over to the younger boy. "Oh hey Izzy, you startled me there for a second."
"Sorry." Was all he said, though it didn't sounded rude, it was short. Making the girl wonder if all this kid ever really do is be on his computer. Since they got here that was all the younger boy really did.
"Have you seen Kari anywhere?" Sora asked, noticing that the young Kamiya wasn't around. Sora and the others already had finished unpacking and settling in their cabins just minutes ago. Since then, Kari had seemed to slip out of the cabin only moments after.
And quite frankly since the young girl never been in this camp, it could be a bit dangerous, despite being in a camp ground, one could still get lost or worst be found by a wild animal.
Even though sika deer's are usually around the area; they usually run from humans, but still Sora would be at better ease if Kari was around where she could see her. That was-
"Sorry, I didn't see her since this morning during introductions Sora." The red haired boy answered interrupting Sora from her thoughts. Even when she looked back down at the younger camper, his eyes never left the computer.
"Alright thanks." The girl with the blue hat answered before walking down the cabin steps and touched the dirt floor.
As she walked by the lake, she noticed the familiar blond haired siblings sitting there; apparently Matt must have been telling the younger boy a story, and possibly a funny one considering the younger of the two laughed a bit.
'Well at least he's not heartless.' Sora mussed to herself letting out a bemused exhale of air. The sound caught the attention of the two since they both craned their heads toward her general direction.
"Oh sorry... I didn't mean to intrude." Sora said, a small look of embarrassment on her face.
"Not at all." T.K smiled at her, before facing his older brother. "Right Matt?"
Matt only shrugged, he didn't really care as much.
Sora smiled, before remembering. "Hey have either of you two seen Kari around?" She asked hopefully.
Matt shook his head.
"Actually I remember her seeing her walk over towards the stairs above." T.K answered.
The girl smiled. "Thanks."
Sora bid them a brief goodbye before racing up the stone steps. There she managed to catch sight of the cabin's blue haired counselor. "Oh hey Joe."
The boy jumped a bit, but relaxed when he realized who it was beside him. "Oh hey Sora, where are you heading?"
"Just going to look for Kari, I haven't seen her." She answered, before returning to her jog up the stairs.
"Alright be careful. There's some poison Ivy up ahead." Joe warned the younger, earning a thumbs up in understanding from her.
Upon reaching the top, Sora instantly took a long walk around, trying to find the pink scarf girl. "Kari?" She called out, hoping to hear an answer, or at least catch sight of the girl.
For a moment, nothing happened, but then there was a small patter. Sora looked up, trying to look for the source of the sound. But the trees shadowed the place, making a bit difficult to find the sound.
And for a moment Sora thought she wouldn't be able to find the younger in the sun-dotted forest. Until she saw a rock fall down to the floor across from her. Crimson eyes instantly trailed from where they were thrown, and there she managed to find Tai's sister.
The young brown haired girl was sitting on top of a few branches high away from the ground. Though not entirely dangerous, it was still pretty high for a girl her age.
A small smile appeared over the blue hat girl, but not without action as she climbed up the tree. Apparently Kari had carried a few rocks with her considering she still threw another one.
"Something on your mind?" Sora asked softly, hopefully as to not scare the younger girl.
Pinkish brown met crimson, but then looked away sadly.
"Mind if I sit?" The red head asked one arm holding a higher branch and her feet balancing on a lower branch. Kari answered by scooting away a bit to make room. Sora took the invite and sat beside the younger girl.
There was a stale silence between them, but-
"How did you find me?" Kari asked, her pink-brown eyes looking down at the floor.
"A little blond birdy told me the way." The older girl joked. Which earned her a small smile from the other.
"You're still thinking about you brother aren't you?"
Kari didn't say anything.
"It's okay, I understand why you would. He's always been there for you huh?" Again Kari didn't answer.
"And it just seems almost alien to you that he's not here having fun with us huh?" Sora asked, making the girl now peek a look to her side. Sora took the initiative and brought the girl close by wrapping an arm over the younger girl's shoulder.
"You know, Tai always loved climbing trees. Actually, now that I think about it, he'd try to climb anything." Sora pondered, recalling the slide incident.
"Yeah..." The brown eyed girl whispered, a small smile now stretching her lips. "He always did... Mom always scolded him because he would have a cut or bruise."
Sora giggled a bit. "That's Taichi for you." Sora said, using his full name for once.
Finally Kari also joined in the giggling, placing a hand on her mouth to prevent from laughing too loud. "And if anything, he's probably is dying to just get on top of a tree or something."
Now it was Sora's turn to try not to laugh so hard. "That's true."
Both girls remained there laughing a bit, and lasted for quite a bit until finally they let lose a long sigh in relief. Sora still contained an arm around the young girl's shoulder. 'At least she's feeling better'
"I guess..." Kari started making the older girl look at her. "I guess the reason why I climbed up here is too..."
The red haired girl rose a brow. "Is to what?"
"To feel a bit closer to him... to Tai..." Kari turned to Sora, looking at her directly in the eyes.
Sora smiled, it was practically amazing how close the two Kamiyas really were together. It probably is hurting Kari that her older brother wasn't here at all. Besides understanding the reason why Tai wasn't here, didn't mean that the young girl had to like it.
And quite frankly, Sora didn't blame her at all. In an honest sense, Sora was really looking forward to do the canoe racing and just hanging out with him in general.
It was practically tradition for them to go to camp, and to think he wasn't here for that occasion…
"You really miss him don't you?" Sora asked, hugging the girl a bit closer. The girl nodded.
"I know he does too, but remember what he said, have fun, and honestly I don't think he would be happy if you didn't." Sora encouraged giving her a soft smile.
"Besides they do have arts and crafts here. Perhaps you can make him a picture frame or so?"
That hit the spot.
"For real?" Kari asked, her pink-brown eyes wide with hope and excitement.
"For reals, I'll help you if you like." Sora offered.
Kari beamed, her large happy smile suiting her much more than the frown. Sora smiled, but blinked the moment the younger of the two gave her a large hug. Sora let loose a large smile and returned the gesture.
But the moment that Sora let go of the other, something touched her arm. Sora blinked again, separating from the young girl, as something wet drip down her lightly tanned skin.
She moved her gloved hand to her arm, all the while looking at it. And there, remained a small droplet of water on her arm.
"Sora?" Kari asked, looking at the older one with a confused and partially worried look. However like her sister figure, something touched her cheek. Kari moved her hand to her face, a drop of water started rolling down her skin. But before either could even questioned, more droplets fell down.
"What is-?"
Sora didn't even finish her question when more fell down, Sora extended her hand and when she did another one of those droplets fell on her gloved hand. And to her surprise it wasn't rain it was-
"Snow?" Kari asked, now looking down at the floor as more snowflakes fell to the floor.
"We should probably go." Sora advised quickly swinging off the branches one by one until her feet touched the floor. Kari lowered herself, placing her foot down the branches until like her friend now remained situated solid on the floor.
Both made their way back towards the campsite, but along their path the snow and temperature dropped significantly faster. Worry filtered inside Sora's eyes.
"Let's go back, it shouldn't be snowing in the summer." Sora said, taking a hold on the girl's hand and guided her the rest of the way. Kari made no objections as she followed right after the older girl. As expected, none of the campers now remained in sight outside of their cabins, save for one teacher.
"You two should get inside, it's snowing hard. Listen to your councilor, and do not come out until the snow dies down understood." Mr. Fujiyama stated, helping them back at their cabin.
Both girls nodded and entered inside, neither of the two girls were surprised when they found the rest of their cabin mates inside.
"Well this won't do... first the humidity, now the cold? This is not doing wonders for my skin or hair!" Mimi complained, as she sat down on of the boy's beds; Izzy's bed in fact considering that the computer's case cover remained at her left.
Sora sighed, 'well at least she's not complaining about makeup or her dress...'
Sora noticed T.K. who was still sitting alongside Matt. The older brother kept his blue eyes looking at the partially closed window. It's evident in his face that he was pondering what was going on. Actually, really… everyone was, in the middle of summer it begins to snow? Alright rain can make the exception since well it has happened before, but snow?
Sora looked across and saw the empty bed, with that in mind, she guided Kari with her and sat down. This particular cushion actually remained directly across from the door, so it gave the two girls a perfect view of everyone inside the boy side of the cabin.
Though it did make the short haired girl wonder as to why she and the other two girls stayed in male's side and not in the girls' side...?
Everyone remained dead silent, when the winds picked up harshly across the entire campsite. Though not for long when the blue haired councilor broke the ice.
"Hey Izzy... will these cabins would hold up?" Joe asked nervously, looking around the building, as if to find a crack or something.
"They will, it does snow here when we are not at camp, they are made to withstand some harsh weather Joe." Sora answered causing everyone to stare at her.
Her face turned a bit pink. Hasn't anyone here, with the exception of Kari and T.K. been to camp before? But again her thoughts were interrupted with more of the harsh winds hitting against the building. A few of the cabin occupants jumped and/or yelped at the sounds.
The young browned haired girl yelped and within reaction she grasped Sora's yellow tank top. Sora looked down with a gentle smile and once again placed one arm around the shivering young brunet and hugging her in.
"It's alright... it's alright, nothing to be afraid of..." Sora whispered, bringing the girl closer to her as much as possible.
"Nothing is going to happen to you." Sora continued softly, opting her dark magenta gloved hand to pet the back of the girl's head in another attempt to calm her down. She shut her crimson eyes a bit as she continued to calm the younger girl.
Just like when he did...
~Flashback Start~
"It's going to be alright, I promise!" Nine-year old Tai said as he helped nine-year old Sora up, who was crying as she felt another arch of pain hit her knee.
The young girl had only been playing tag with Tai and a few other kids in the forest close by the lake. And all had been well until she ended tripping over a tree root that stuck out of the ground.
And the rock also had to be there when suddenly the red haired girl's knee collided with the sharp rock.
The next thing everyone knew, was seeing the girl hugging onto her knee and crying. Tai was the first to reach her. "Sora, what's wrong?"
"M-My Knee! It Hurts...!" She sobbed as more tears fell down from her eyes.
Brown eyes widened, but he didn't stop. "Kimmy! You're fast go find a teacher!" He said turning to the only other girl in the group. The blond haired girl nodded and race off. Leaving the rest of the children there.
Tai never moved away from Sora as he stayed besides her, his brown eyes looked down to see the blood starting to seep through the cut. Sora watched as the other pulled out what looked like some kind of white rag from his pockets.
"This will help." He said taking what looked like a white bandanna and wrapping it around Sora's knee. The girl bit her lip to prevent from whimpering, but Tai was quick, like his running.
When he finished tying, Sora looked at him, the pain was still there, but not as much. "Can you stand?" Tai asked worriedly.
Sora did try at first, but the blistering pain wouldn't allow her. "N-No...!"
Tai looked at her, then at everyone else. What was taking the teacher so long!?
He noticed how Sora continued to hug her knee as the blood began to seep through the white cloth. It made him bite his own lip. So finally he couldn't stand watching his friend hurting and without another moment to lose, he offered a hand to the fallen girl. Sora didn't know what happened next as she now had her arm over Tai's shoulders and now hopped on one foot.
"It's going to be alright I promise!" Tai said as he helped her along the way. Sora felt more of the tears drip down her face, but not as much as before.
The girl started to feel a bit lightheaded from the pain; making her movements much more sluggish and slower.
"We're almost there, I promise." Tai offered, holding on her a bit more to prevent her from falling, but even if she didn't fall, she wouldn't be able to move much faster soon.
Sora looked at him a bit weakly, but nodded.
"Nothing is going to happen to you." Tai stated firmly looking at her with bright confidence. Making the red haired girl look at him with shock.
"I won't let anything happen to you I promise, just promise me you won't let go." He said giving her a small smile.
Sora looked at him, but before she had the chance, three people was now running towards them, it was Mrs. Chinko, their teacher councilor, the camp nurse, and Kimmy racing over to them.
Sora now glanced over to her friend, as he continued to give her that goofish smile of his. "See... I told you nothing will happen to you. Just as long as you never let go." He smirked.
Sora now smiled even with the pain started to take more of a toll on her. But she fought the pain a bit more, she felt Tai grip onto her hand tighter; it was all she needed.
She wasn't going to let go.
~End of Flashback~
"I'll make sure of it. Just don't let go." Sora soothed, hugging the girl a bit tighter. It seemed to work as the girl finally stopped shivering and relaxed, Sora smiled and hugged the girl bringing her to her lap. Mostly for the reason that it actually started to get a bit colder inside the cabin.
"Just seems illogical that it would be snowing during winter. There is no evidence that it should be occurring right now." Izzy said as he furiously typed into his computer.
"Why's that?" Mimi asked, raising a brow.
Now everyone looked at the young boy who hadn't taken his eyes off the laptop. The look on his face just screamed that he didn't have an answer for that.
Kari opened her eyes slowly when the sounds of harsh winds finally died down. "Is... is it over?" She asked lifting her head to see Sora, who was leaning against the bed wall.
The crimson eyed girl must have taken a nap during the entire storm phase as she rubbed her eyes to open them upon Kari's question. "What?" She mumbled, rubbing her closed right eye.
Kari pushed herself softly out of Sora's lap and towards the center of the cabin. With the sounds finally dying off, everyone in the room started awake.
'Did everyone take a nap?' The young girl pondered, seeing that even Izzy fell asleep. With his computer still open but ironically, in sleep mode.
How much time has passed since the storm started?
Kari was the first to move to the door, this time catching Sora's attention fully. "Wait Kari! It could be-"
Sora never got to finish her sentence when the youngest female had already opened the door. And much to everyone's surprise the white snow had covered about every inch of the campsite's ground. Even around the tree's trunk bases.
"So it did finally stop..." Kari said, as she took her first steps out of the cabin. And she wasn't the only one as T.K. jumped out as well.
"Snow! This Is So Awesome!"
Matt wasn't that far behind from his younger brother. "Hey T.K be careful!"
Sora wasn't either but unlike Matt when she took her first step out of the cabin, she had to wrap her arms around herself when a sudden chilly breeze drifted onto her. "Brr... it's freezing. It's hard to believe that it's summer... I really should have brought a jacket."
"Let's hurry back to where the adults are. The longer we stay here...-"
"Wow! It's so pretty!" Mimi interrupted the councilor, her honey brown eyes wide with fascination. "I wish I brought my fluffy pink snow boots." She squealed happily walking outside like the rest of the children.
"Hey shouldn't we-" The oldest child gave up and followed right after the girl. He still was the councilor, and he might as well make sure they don't get hurt. He vaguely felt the ration bag bump against his leg.
Kari looked at every inch of the ground around them; she lowered herself and touched the snow with her hand.
Yup sure enough it was snow alright. The white ice crystals melted in her hand and dripped down back at the cold floor.
"Kari, you alright?" Sora asked running behind her with her gloved hands around her bare arms.
"I'm okay. Are you cold?" Kari asked, looking at her sister-figure with slight worry.
"A b-bit, b-but I'll try to manage. After all I have tooo...-" Sora trailed off as her eyes shot straight up to the sky.
And she wasn't the only one. Everyone gasped at the sight above them.
Mimi smiled largely, looking at the lovely lights before her, and it was then she noticed someone was missing.
"Hey! Izzy come check it out!" The strawberry blonde girl called, craning her head slightly, but her eyes still on the lights that danced before her sight.
The last occupant of the cabin had been trying for the last few minutes trying to get his connection back in his laptop. But so far nothing had been working.
"Man..." He breathed irritably, but upon hearing the girl's call he gave another sigh, closed his precious computer packed it in his backpack and followed pursuit of the others.
"It's really pretty!" Mimi called again, as the red haired boy finally raced out, and like everyone else got entranced over the lights.
"That's-" Izzy started, but rather shocked about what is happening.
"It's an Aurora!" Sora finished, a large smile over her face. It's the first time she's ever seen one, and boy was she smiling, it's really gorgeous!
Man... She really wished Tai was here to see this.
"It's my first time seeing one." Kari said excitedly.
"Mine Too!" T.K. added.
Despite being impressed as well, Izzy slanted his brow. "But how is this possible? How can there be an aurora in Japan?"
At that, both Sora and Kari glanced at each other. "You're right..." They said in sync.
"Uh... we should get back to the camp where the adults are...!" Joe tried again, his brows furrowing in worry.
"Yeah. It wouldn't be cool if we got sick." Matt responded rather coolly, but at the same time rather maturely.
Joe sighed in relief about time, but when he turned to walk over towards the rest of the adult and camp members, he noticed that no one else followed him.
An annoyed look covered the bluet's face. Oh Come On! Really!?
"Kari, I think we should get going." Sora started looking at the young Kamiya.
But the young girl kept her gaze on the northern lights. Her right eyebrow slanting in confusion.
"Kari?"
"There's something there." She pointed up, making everyone now look, to see some kind of green fire circle in the center of gliding lights.
But before anyone had time to react, seven pinkish orbs formed and shot directly towards their direction.
Sora instantly grabbed onto Kari and held onto her for dear life. She used her body to shield the young girl from whatever the heck those lights were. Both of them felt the snow jump onto their bodies while the loud sound of a large impact thrust in their ears.
Kari grasped onto Sora, clutching onto her as each drop of the light collided to the ground.
When the snow finally settled down onto the floor, did Sora let go of the young Kamiya. "Kari... are you alright?"
"Ugh." She muttered, indicating she was perfectly fine.
"I-Is everyone okay?" Joe called out, his hands trembling and it wasn't because of the cold temperature.
"Yeah... somehow." Matt was the first to speak, the moment he released his younger brother upon seeing no form of harm on him.
"That was scary!" Mimi cried, holding onto her dear pink hat around the sides of her head.
"What was that?!" T.K. called out, while looking up.
"A meteorite...?" Izzy questioned while he edged closer to the hole that was made before him.
However as everyone now stood up a bright light rose from the snow covered ground. Each of which a different color. (NOTE 1)
'What is this?' Sora questioned mentally as it hovered higher before her. Her crimson eyes trailed over and saw Kari now reach for the pink one before. She clasped it in both hands.
Crimson eyes return to the front of her and that was when she caught sight of the red one that floated in front of the short haired female, she grasped it in her left hand.
And one by one everyone caught theirs with Joe almost losing the silver one when it started to get too high above his head.
Sora slowly opened her clenched hand and right before her, she saw what looked like a small bluish-silver tamagachi.
"What... are these?"
Izzy glanced at his. "It's neither a pager nor a cell phone."
"It looks more like a Tamagachi." Mimi said, holding onto hers. Finding it strange as to why the screen now is glowing a bit green...
However, the moment she looked up, the lake water suddenly rose up, everyone gasped at the sight as the now wave rose higher.
"What's Going ON!?" Sora shouted when something tugged onto her arm.
'What the-?' The half-baked thought was burned off when suddenly she and the rest of the people besides her were dragged inside the water.
Sora screamed her body doing multiple flips and turns. Her body shaking and temperature dropping to almost nothing.
She couldn't even open her own eyes as the sickening feeling coursed through her entire body.
She wanted to vomit, but at the same time her body wouldn't.
Her voice remained lost her throat and before anything else could happen, everything turned dark.
Well that's that.
Yeah I did try to write it as the original authors tried, but again my writing style is different. But hopefully you guys like it. Took some work to be able to get it done XD
Now anyways as you can see that I have added:
(NOTE #'S)
Well for one it's something that I and my cousin Darkyami do in our stories when something may come out a bit unclear or we just want to add some information that we really can't fit inside the story itself.
So yeah, with that done here's the first...
Notes:
(1) Yes I am aware that the original color of the Digivices were all blue, but I thought it would be a small nice addition to give them the color of the crests that each of them get.
And yes Mimi's favorite color is still going to be pink (just because I watch the Japanese version) doesn't mean that I don't know what they said in the English version either.
~Also to get across that I forgot to mention, reason why I also will follow the Sub along with the Dub for this story is because I prefer the original (not saying that the English Dub is bad) No, I practically grew up with that version (first anime I ever watched) I value it.
But I like the Japanese one too
That and it's easier to write what they say instead of having to listen and type their dialogue. (and at times I can get confused as to what they are saying in the dub, so yeah)
But yeah...
Oh almost forgot, there will be changes to the anime from this story's point of view because well... I like to shake it up a bit.
You'll see that there might be some changes to the story (not the plot) but the events that happen.
Anyways I'm done rambling, see you guys in the next chapter :D
