Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ It's My Game ❯ A Bit Of The Past ( Chapter 7 )

Meg yawned. Izzy had been on his computer for the past few hours. Why Izzy carried around his laptop, she didn't know but it was a nice tool to have in the Digital World. She'd have to remember to bring her own next time.

"Are you figuring things out?" Meg asked as she flipped her red hair over her shoulder.

"No! I've gotten nothing! They've got all the programs encoded too tight. At this rate it'll take me a year to get into their system!" Izzy complained.

"Izzy, I can't just sit here all day! I need to do something. So either give me your laptop or let's start walking toward that castle and try to find the others!" Meg said impatiently as she scratched her freckled nose.

Izzy looked at Meg as though she has asked to have his liver. He closed the laptop and strapped it to his back. "Let's take a walk then."

Meg laughed "You really like that pineapple computer don't you?"

"Let's just say we've been though a lot together" Izzy smiled.

"Last time that I was in the Digital World, well I guess that would be my first time, we got transported here from various summer camps. Kai from soccer camp and I was from computer camp. That's how Kai and I first met. We ended up in the middle of nowhere and there were these two creatures. One looked like a pink head with floppy ears and a horn. It was Karamon and she turned out to be Kai's Digimon. Apparently Kai had met Karamon when she was a little girl. They were on vacation with their parents at the ocean and Kai and her sister Hana snuck off at night. Something happened and Hana was drowning and two creatures showed up. One saved Hana, which ended up being her digimon, Mizumon, and Karamon helped Kai help her sister once Hana was out of the water." Meg said as they walked "I've never met Mizumon, so I don't know what it looks like"

"We've never run into one either" Izzy replied as they trudged along though the desert. "What was your digimon?"

"Oh mine looked like a big ugly ladybug! Her name is Ladymon but I ended up loving her anyways!" Meg smiled.

"So what was your mission here in the Digiworld? Kai had said that you, she, Scott and her twin had survived just fine while here" Izzy asked interested.

Meg laughed "Oh that was just a bluff. Kai shoots her mouth off all the time. Kai and I were the only ones when I was here the first time. Hana has only seen her digimon the night it saved her I think. And Scott, well I'm at all about him because he gad never heard of the Digital World when Kai and I first started telling him about it. He thought this was all some joke, but Kai and I brought him here once we realized he had a crest." Meg paused as she thought about what she had said "So I guess I've been here twice before now! When we came with Scott though, we didn't do much. Scott had his crest but we never once saw his digimon. We just can't figure it out! How could he be a Chosen Child without a digimon?" Meg finished

"So then you all have crests?" Izzy asked.

"Yup. Kai's is Freedom, Scott's is Power, Hana's is Belief and mine is Understanding" Meg replied. "All of you have crests?"

Izzy nodded "Well yes, the original eight have crests. The others have well… an upgrade I guess you could call it. Tai has Courage, Matt Friendship, Sora Love, Mimi Sincerity, Joe Reliability, TK Hope, Kari Light and mine is Knowledge."

"So you mentioned a mission. Did you have things to accomplish while you were here?" Meg asked.

Izzy nodded and then told Meg of the black gears, Dark Masters, Digimon Kaiser, Dark Digivice and all.

They continued to talk and the sky grew dark as they walked.

"Izzy, you know how he said we'd have to face our nightmares in this game? Well what do you think he meant by that?" Meg finally asked a worried expression on her face.

"I'm not sure" Izzy said.

The dark haired girl watched the prisoner sleep. What her brother saw in this girl she didn't understand. The prisoner had long brown hair with deep brown eyes. The girl was a fragile creature and very timid, someone the dark haired girl wanted to crush. For the first few days the girl in the shadows had been driven nuts by the prisoners whining. She always kept her distance, staying in the shadows, but her brother, Bob, would walk into the light and speak with the girl.

The girl turned and walked deeper into the shadows, leaving the path clear. As long as Bob didn't visit the prisoner her plan would work perfectly. The shadow girl smiled to herself with an icy cold look in her eyes.

TK and Daisuke had been paired together and neither of them were really happy about it. They had both secretly wanted to get paired with Kari but ended up with each other.

The area that they had been placed wasn't too bad. It was a nice open clearing beside a huge forest. Only problem was, the castle was on the other side of the forest.

"So I'm stuck with TJ then huh?" Daisuke said rolling his eyes.

TK just ignored Daisuke's stupid comment. He wasn't going to stoop to that level.

"Why don't we just go find the others okay? I'd really like to get back to the real world." TK motioned to the forest.

"Be my guest. After you" Daisuke said and both boys walked into the forest.

"Come on Hana! Mom and Dad won't care anyways! I want to see the moon reflected in the water!" a little eight year old Kai complained.

It was night time and the family had rented a beach house for the week. They were away from the city lights and Kai had never seen the stars and moon quite like this.

"Kai, I don't like it! We shouldn't go off alone! We're only eight!" Hana said.

Kai looked pleadingly into her twins eyes. For Kai it was almost like looking into a mirror with the same features and body, though even at eight Kai had more muscle than Hana. Everything was the same except that her bright green eyes were replaced by Hana's deep brown eyes and her blonde hair was contrasted with Hana's brown.

Kai pranced around in her bathing suit. "If you don't come Hana, I'll have to go by myself and how will you feel if something happens to me?" Kai then stuck her tongue out at her sister.

"You know I won't let you go off by yourself!" Hana stamped her foot "Just let me get my swimsuit on!"

Kai hugged her sister "Thank you so much!"

The two girls walked along the moonlight beach until they had reached the water.

"Oh wow! It's so pretty!" Hana smiled.

"I knew you'd like it!" Kai said proudly.

The two of them waded into the water until it reached their knees.

Kai's eyes lit up as the noticed the old Shinto Shrine gate in the water.

"Hey Hana! Let's swim out to the Torii!" Kai smiled devilishly.

"You know mom and dad said not to do it! There are big currents out there!" Hana said, trying to be a voice of reason to her twin

"Hana, I feel like there's something out there! I just HAVE to go!" Kai said, already starting to swim off.

"Kai! I don't swim as well as you!" Hana called,

Kai still swam towards the Torii.

"Oh bother!" Hana muttered as she swam off after her sister.

Kai had reached the Torii and was waiting for Hana.

"See that wasn't so bad!" Kai smiled as her sister swam next to her.

Hana was out of breath and barley able to tread water.

"Kai, I, uh, don't" Hana could barley get the words out "Think, *cough*, I can make" Hana sputtered a bit "it back!"

Kai looked worried "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get back to dry land!"

"Kai!" A voice called from a distance.

The two girls looked at each other frightened.

"Hana!" another voice called.

"Kai, this isn't funny if it's one if your jokes!" Hana glared.

Kai looked petrified "Hana, I have nothing to do with this! I swear it!"

"Kai!"

"Hana!" the voices called again.

One sounded like it was from under the water and the other from the air.

"Kai, I'm scared!" Hana spoke softly.

"Me too…" Kai replied.

The two girls looked up the Torii. There seated on top of the Torii seemed to be a pink head of some sort.

"Kai!" the pink head called again.

Hana screamed and accidentally breathed in some water. It was too much for Hana's small body to handle after the swim out to the Torii. Her lungs started to fill with water and she thrashed around as the current started to pull her under.

"HANA!!" Kai screamed. It was her fault. She had been the one to make Hana come. Kai knew Hana couldn't swim as well yet she still made her sister come. And now her twin was going to die.

"I'll save you Hana!" She cried and dove under water to try to find her sister. There under the water looked like some sort of large frog. It was purple and in its hands was Hana's body. Kai swam towards the frog and started hitting it. She wouldn't let this strange ocean creature kill her twin.

"Don't hurt me! I'm trying to save Hana!" the frog said. "Here, trust me and get on my back"

Kai took a leap of faith and got on the frog's back. The frog swam to the shore quickly.

Kai got off the frog's back and crawled up the beach. The frog put Hana's body on the shore beside Kai. Kai looked at her sisters limp body and started to cry.

"Kai, Kai don't cry! Your sister needs your help!" spoke the pink head which had followed them to shore. "Remember what you learned in your swimming lessons okay?"

Kai wiped away her tears and looked at Hana. Right, she had to do what she had learned in swimming lessons. She made sure the Hana's body was laid straight and she tilted her forehead back and her chin up to open the airway.

`Okay plug her nose and breathe in her mouth' Kai thought. She reached for her sister's nose and then took a deep breath. She could see her sister's chest rise and fall as her own breath entered her sister's body. She did it once more.

"Oh please Hana, I can't live without you!" Kai cried and breathed into her sister's fragile body once more. Hana's eyes suddenly opened and she started to cough up water. Along with the water, Hana puked on Kai but Kai didn't care, she had her sister back.

"HANA!" she cried and pulled her sister in close, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Kai! Oh I thought I was gone for sure. But you said you'd get me back to dry land! I knew you'd do it!" Hana said as she clutched her sister tight.

"Thank you" Kai said to the strange purple frog. It was then that Hana noticed the two creatures with them.

"I'm Mizumon" the purple frog spoke. "I'm a digimon from the DigiWorld. I'm your partner Hana! I hope that someday you can come to the DigiWorld to play with me!"

"And I'm your digimon Kai!" the pink head spoke. It was cute in a way with its big eyes and floppy ears. It had a horn on its forehead, reminding Kai of a unicorn horn. "I'm Karamon!"

"Thank you for helping save me!" Hana said to the purple frog and opened her arms. The frog jumped into Hana's lap and she hugged it close.

"We have something for you too!" Karamon spoke.

"Ohhh! Pretty necklaces!" Kai said as she grabbed the two crests.

"They are crests" spoke Mizumon, "Hana you get the crest of Belief" Mizumon pointed to the flower on the necklace Hana put around her neck.

"And Kai, you have the crest of Freedom" Karamon said of the crest with wings and a halo.

"We have to go now, but we'll see you soon I hope!" Mizumon said and then the two of them ran off into the ocean.

"Hana, I'm so sorry. I promise I'll protect you for the rest of my life! I won't let anything happen to you! I won't let anything or anyone hurt you!" Kai said as she hugged her sister close.

"Do you promise that Kai? Forever?" Hana said looking into her twin's eyes.

"I promise forever!" Kai said.

"Thank you!" Hana smiled

That was eight years ago. Now Kai looked around her. Hana was gone. She didn't know where her sister had gone.

"You left me alone Kai!" Hana's voice spoke.

"Hana? Hana where are you!" Kai called into the darkness.

"Kai you promised! You promised that you would never let me get hurt!" Hana's voice said again.

Kai began to cry "Hana!"

"Now you've failed. You let me down. You didn't keep your promise!" Hana's voice spoke in the darkness.

"Hana tell me where you are! I want to help you!" Kai called with tears streaming down her face.

"I'm over here" Hana's voice said and Kai saw a light in the distance and she ran towards it. "But I'm past help now!"

When Kai reached the light she saw her sister's body. Hana was dead. She had let her twin down.

Kai screamed.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

"Kai! Kai! Kai wake up! Kai what's wrong! What's going on?" A different voice spoke and her body was shaking.

Kai's eyes flew open and she saw Tai sitting there beside her with his hand on her arm. She looked around her trying to figure out just where she was. They were in the digital world and it was night time. She and Tai had stopped to sleep. It was all coming back to her. Crying she buried her head into Tai's shoulder and held him close.

Tai was taken back. He didn't know how to deal with crying girls. He barley knew how to deal with girls at all.

"Kai, it'll be all okay… it was only a nightmare." Tai said. It was then that he remembered the boy saying that they would have to face their nightmares. He knew he had said the wrong thing.

Hana was still missing. Kai knew that but she wouldn't let her down. "I'll find you Hana" Kai whispered.

Tai looked down at the mess of blonde hair that was on his shoulder. Hana, that was the name of Kai's twin. Did this mean that she was missing? Tai thought about how he would feel if Kari had gone missing or something had happened to his little sister. Knowing the bond of siblings Tai could feel a small shadow of the pain that Kai must be feeling. Suddenly everything about her actions before seemed to make sense with her family back ground and her sister now missing. Why had he been such a jerk to her?

Tai put his arms around her and hugged her close "It will be okay Kai, it'll be okay."
