Twenty-four Hours

Part two: Takato's Angel

By KellyQ

I saw a pale doll light imitating from the park. I picked up my pace to a run, my mind full of questions. Where was Gulimon? I called out for him he but ever came. Knowing him, he's probably all ready there so I ran. Once I got there, Renamon was just socking the data like water. The mist blow past as Lee and Ruki looked at each other.

"Desided too finally to show up?" She asked with a smile.

"Momenti. Lee had to get dressed …"

"Ha, ha, hi Lee!"

I couldn't help but smile as Calumon running up with his bat like ears extended all the way out side to side. He looked very happy to see us as usual. I watched as Lee turned his head and looked down at the small Digimon, his eyes clouded over. Calumon cowered a little, his ears sinking back into his head as his expression changed.

"You look so sad." Calumon stated.

I looked closely at my boyfriend. Calumon's right, he does look a little out of it. I wonder why and where is Gulimon? He should be here by now.

"I haven't been my self." Lee grumbled turning to leave.

I hear Calumon whimper as I walk up to my boyfriend so that I could comfort him. He stopped for one moment looking at the ground.

"It's obvious that you want something. So spill!"

I blinked. Why are you so angry? Is it something I did? I was about to step in front of my boyfriend when we hard voice's. We turned our heads to see the others running up with grins on their faces. I couldn't help but smile, getting that old feeling of long term friendship.

"Lee, is everything all right?" Juri asks Lee.

"He's moaning and moping because he doesn't have his goggle head."

"Who said that I'm moping? You're probably glad that Takato is gone, aren't you!" Lee scowled.

"Who said I hated him?" Ruki mocks.

"Don't give me that! Takato had feelings for you and you stomped on it!" Lee shouted.

"Stop it!" Juri demanded.

I blinked again, feeling as though something was not right. Everyone looked Juri with shock in their eyes including Ruki and Renamon.

"I just don't like when you guys fight," She said sounding very small, "and Takato wouldn't like it either."

"Well … I … I … come on you guys. I'm right here."

I didn't want to shout. It would hurt their ears so why where they ignoring me … like I'm … no! I'm not dead! …. But I have no choice.

"You guys, I'm right here!"

Nothing.

Maybe I should just face it. I'll remain like this for ever …. never to be anything I wanted to be or be held by my boyfriend. I turned and without even realizing it I walked right threw Lee. I stood there for one moment feeling as though I touched something very fragile and delicate.

"Lee, are you all right?" Terriermon asks.

"You look a little pale. You should lye down." Kenta suggests.

"I'm fine. But didn't you guys feel something?"

"Feel what?" Calumon asks.

I slowly turn around to see my boyfriend eyes turn big with fear? Why would he be afraid of me?

"Lee …" I whispered as he picked his Digimon partner up and walked home. "Lee!! Wait!!"

I turned and ran after him. I tried to get his attention the whole way to his apartment but it was no use, all I could do is walk by his side and look at him knowing that I'll never be able to touch him. He closed the door; put his hand on his heart as it balled into a fist. I walked closer to him when I heard Lee's kind mother's voice asking if he was okay.

"I'm fine, mom." He responds slightly turning his head.

I moved out of the way as Lee's mother walks in with concern in her eyes.

"You sure? You looked a little pale and flushed when you came home .... Lee! You're shaking! What happened?"

"Mom," He finally asks sitting on the bed, "have you ever felt something that you couldn't describe?"

"That all depends on the situation," She said gently, sitting next to him, "having feelings is very powerful. It can be a wonderful thing or it can be a bad thing."

"Thanks mom."

"Anytime hun." She said softly, kissing him on the forehead before leaving.

I looked back at my boyfriend, he looked very humble and loved. I got to my feet as he did too, we took two steps together. He turned toward the mirror his eyes hug with shock turning white as a sheet of paper. I stepped closer to him as he backed right into me again feeling what I felt before. I turned around to see that he still looked white as a sheet.

"Lee-chan, I'm not going to hurt you …."

"All right, Kenta! You can cut fancy shit!"

"Kenta is not doing any of this Lee …"

"Nice try!" He says angrily.

He reached for my arm but his hand went all the way threw me. I looked up to his eyes cloud over with sorrow and pain. Tears started to from under his baggy silver eyes. Great pain griped my heart as I stood there helplessly watching the tears fall.

"Please Lee," I begged feeling a knot in my stomach, "please don't cry. It hurts Takato to see you like this …."

"You're not Takato's spirit …."

"No," I said shaking my head, "I'm not. I'm an Angle to give you some hope and another chance …."

"What? Are you saying that I can bring my boyfriend back?"

I nodded my head and pointed to the computer, he looks where I'm pointing at.

"You have twenty-four hours to bring him back or lose him for ever."

"Right! But where do I start?" He asks looking back at me.

"There are many worlds, Lee …. And follow your heart …."

"Lee, wake up!" Terriermon shouts. "Lee, hello!"
