Thoughts of the Children

 

Ch. VIII: Kari Kamiya

 

I used to be a fragile child, one who used to be sick all the time. Whether it was in the cold winter or the hot summer, I was getting ill to no end. And when I got ill that summer several years ago, I wondered whether if I will ever get well, that I was destined to succumb to this continuous virus that has cursed my life from day one.

 

That's when these mysterious events happened. I didn't know my friends were gone for several digi-months while I was caught with that blasted virus! However, when I got sick in the DigiWorld, I felt something in my head that gave me an inner-jump. It was this throbbing that I was so accustomed to, but it wasn't as strong or as painful as it once was. I'm not sure why, but I assume it was all that exploring and trekking that did the trick. It made my blood flow and it made me internally stronger. Maybe that was how I got stronger and healthier as I matured to my pre-teens.

 

At least, I thought I did. Three years later, when we got back to the Digital World, I began to realize that the word “matured” can be really clichéd. When we were battling the Emperor, I began to play with Davis's emotions by paying more attention to T.K. and by ignoring Davis. It was fun at first, but then, these sudden turn of events occurred in which I have never experienced.

 

First, I was sucked into the World of Darkness, where it felt so cold I was even more than lonely. Then, a dark thought popped into my mind, but it was so vague, I couldn't pinpoint it specifically. Later did I know that I committed a serious crime when it comes to friendship.

 

When T.K. and I were on that trip to Colorado, the only thing I thought about besides finding Willis and defeating Kokomon was to make Davis jealous. I wanted to impress him just like what he wanted to impress me. I don't know why; perhaps to get him back because his continuous impressions was beginning to seriously annoy me inside.

 

Then, as we battled Arukenimon, when Yolei, Ken, and I got sucked into the World of Darkness, despite my brave and confident shell, I became very afraid and I had very dark and horrifying thoughts in my mind. The one that especially scared me was that I would lose my friends for making this cruel mistake and that I would be all alone.

 

Just like before, it was still a vague description, but when Yolei slapped me and gave me some words of encouragement, the thoughts hit me harder than a ton of bricks. I began to realize why I was sent into the World of Darkness: it was my petty selfishness of me thinking of making Davis jealous rather than concentrating fully on our enemies. I realized was I was doing and I knew I had to stop it before I do something so stupid, the bond could permanently break.

 

Afterwards, I grew up mentally and that I knew that I didn't have to concentrate on my error anymore, now that I was going to try to amend my ways. That was when I started concentrating on my future career as a teacher; to let them know you have a future ahead of you and that one stupid mistake like the one I did could ruin it. That almost happened to me and I don't want others to go through that…
