ignore this
Kouichi's POV: my legs where still a little shaky so I stood still for a moment trying to regain my bearings "Why did you save me?" I questioned out loud to myself turning back to face the direction of the fog (no use I cant see anything...) I was confused things just didn’t seem right no matter how much I thought about it (it doesn’t make any sense why would an evil digimon show compassion for me even if I was defenceless it doesn’t make sense for him to have such morals) "well guess I wasn’t considered a threat anymore so there wasn’t a point to destroy me" either way I was thankful
I turned around and began walking away from the battle I couldn’t get myself to run anymore that shock of almost dying had been to much for me and I was beginning to question my sanity the entire world around me twisting and distorting I turned my head in all directions before being completely surrounded by light I shielded my eyes from the blinding whiteness (Whats going on?....Where am I?...) it was then when I heard an echoing voice speak to me and I cautiously lowered my arm to look around the whiteness bright didn’t hurt my eyes although I couldn’t see anything or anyone around me "Who's are you? I don't understand what you're saying" the voice continued to echo though I could understand more clearly as whoever or whatever was out there came closer
[color=BBD9FF]("You don't feel it? You of all people should know why you are here.")[/color]
" Tell me why am I hear what should I be feeling?... You don't make any sense answer me"
[color=BBD9FF]("I expected you to be more perceptive this involves the one closest to you")[/color]
"Kou...ji..? Where is he? What have you done with him?"
[color=BBD9FF]("Don't jump to such harsh conclusions")[/color]
".....Just who are you and why wont you give me some straight answers"
[color=BBD9FF]("I exist outside of time and space and was the keeper of your brothers lost memories")[/color]
"So you work for Cherubimon?"
[color=BBD9FF]("I have never served under Cherubimon although I am thankful to him")[/color]
"I don't understand"
[color=BBD9FF]("I never asked for your understanding I only am here to ask for your help")[/color]
"my help?"
[color=BBD9FF]("I had miscalculated how much his mind could take perhaps it was wrong to show him the truth")[/color]
"Stop talking as if this where some kind of game!...You..You didn’t have to show him anything! Why? Why did you hurt Kouji?!"
[color=BBD9FF]("none of this was a game I knew that all along I just fulfilled his wish he wanted to know")[/color]
(That was the reason for him leaving the group but what is this truth that he learned and why is this guy being so difficult) "Tell me something where is my brother now?"
[color=BBD9FF]("he is here between worlds stuck in a state that is neither awake nor asleep")[/color]
"is that why you brought me here?"
[color=BBD9FF]("Yes this was as far as I could take him I do not have a physical body such as yourself")[/color]
"I see"
[color=BBD9FF]("Do you understand?")[/color]
"I guess as much as someone could in a situation like this"
[color=BBD9FF]("Than I will lead you to him the rest is up to you") [/color]
I nodded even though there was none in sight at the time (how will I know where to go if I can’t see you?) I looked around "Where are you?" I questioned looking side to side
[color=BBD9FF]("I'm right in front of you") [/color]
I looked forward and blinked a couple times seeing a figure come into view "You're... You can’t be"
[color=BBD9FF]("I'm not your brother but I have taken a liking to this form") [/color]
"ok...." (this guy is freaking me out)
[color=BBD9FF]("this way!") [/color]
I fallowed him threw this world of light and nothingness I asked no questions it was to awkward he did look exactly like my brother yet I felt nothing from him actually come to think of it I felt nothing from Kouji either (it's getting darker) I thought seeing the whiteness face the longer we walked soon we came to an area much like a scary dream thorns and glowing chains surrounded us
[color=BBD9FF]("keep close to me if you want to live") [/color]
I of course stopped gawking at my surroundings and sped up my walking quite a bit I was really starting to worry about my brother and this guy was giving me good reason to be afraid "how much farther?" I questioned really not wanting to be here
[color=BBD9FF]("it's just up ahead") [/color]
he said wile pointing forward to where a small bit of light could be seen in the not to far off distance "I don't like this place"
[color=BBD9FF]("Whats not to like it's nice and dark aren’t your the keeper of the spirit of darkness oh wait I forgot you where afraid of the dark") [/color]
"......it's not like that I didn’t choose the spirit it chose me"
[color=BBD9FF]("it was destiny") [/color]
"guess you could call it that" I started walking faster as I could see shadows surrounding us they seemed to have a demonic aura about them and I really really was missing the light area more and more even though it felt empty and lonely
[color=BBD9FF]("We are here look above") [color] he said and pointed upward toward [color=BBD9FF]("In this world wishes can take physical form and an unstable mind can cause nothing but destruction not only to themselves but to everything around them") [/color]
"Kouji!" I yelled almost franticly while running forward almost landing myself at the bottom of what seemed to be an endless pit of darkness I gasped taking a step back noticing my almost fatal mistake I looked up again from here I had a better view of my brother who remained suspended by the strange chains that seemed to almost be alive with evil as if feeding off his energy
[color=BBD9FF]("it is with that unstable mind that he binds himself to this world between worlds") [/color]
I looked down into the darkness and even still I could see the demonic shadows flying threw the nothingness with ease (There seems to be no way to reach him from here) I looked around for another way (if only I could evolve) "Kouji! Cant you hear me why are you doing this!" (Darn it!) I kicked some rocks over the edge and looked back at the stranger "What do you expect me to do here?"
[color=BBD9FF]("I brought you this far but even I do not know the answer to that question") [/color]
(looks like I have no choice) "I guess I will have to climb the chains....." I set my gaze upward fallowing the massive tangles of living metal I was lacking decisiveness and being a bit hesitant to start climbing knowing that a fall from this height would lead me to a quicker death than even Cherubimon's hands (Alright here goes nothing) I gripping a hold tightly feeling a slight electric current pass threw my body I released my grip out of reflex though uninjured I did feel something it was the first time I had felt any kind of thoughts from Kouji since the battle with Cherubimon started (You blame me?..... But why?) I almost felt angry and didn’t know why it bothered me I knew that I didn’t do anything to hurt Kouji (I don't care if you hate me I can be selfish also and I want you back) where my thoughts as I was grabbing a hold of the chains again this time I felt nothing maybe it was my confidence and lack of fear that kept the negative energy away
It had been a good wile now and I had made pretty good progress in my climb keeping my eyes focused upwards (I can hardly feel my hands anymore) I stopped taking a couple deep breathes before climbing again (not much farther now just keep going don't look back) urging myself onward I didn’t stop until I had finally reached my brother "Kouji" I said extending my arm out trying to touch him and get his attention but he was still to far away
"Brother don't you want to leave this place with me? Don't you miss Kyra and the others?" (it's no use I cant get through to him) I stoped trying to reach Kouji and held the chain with both hands once again (What do I do now?) I looked down (The light here is fading it wont be much longer before we are lost in total darkness) "useless......useless.... useless I shouldnt have been the one to save you now we are probably both lost" I could feel my eyes tearing I just wanted to cry even if it wouldnt have been verry manly of me I didnt care no one was here to see me
it was then in the midst of my emotional breakdown that I felt a small vibration in the chains they buzzed with energy and seemed to cling to my hands as if feeding upon my negative energy even my hair was being drawn to it like a magnet (Is this static electricity?) I started climbing down as quickly as possable though by then it was already to late like lightning the massive amount of energy passed threw the chains and I was in it's path I was not ready for the massive amount of pain that soon fallowed or the fall that would most likely lead me to my death all I could do was cry out loudly
Falling and falling deeper and deeper into darkness the shadows reaching out to tear me apart in this place where all hope seemed lose I heard it clearly someone called out to me waether it was real or my imagenation it calmed me I closed my eyes and prepared for everything to end but nothing happened infact it didnt even feel like I was falling any more the cold harsh air that once wipped past me seemed to change into a warm gental caress if this was really what it was like to die maybe I was wrong to be afraid
I opened my eyes and looked around curiously I was floating in mid air serouneded by a gental light the numbness from before was gone along with all the pain (did I die) I thought to myself looking at my uninjured hands it was the only explaination but dying from fear did seem rather pathetic even for me
my mind soon shot back to thoughts of my brother I looked up and frowned (there still has to be a way) it seemed logical if I could float at this altitude I should be able to fly but how was the big question (focus....) I closed my eyes and spread out my arms feeling the strength of this unknown power building up around me I seemed to gain the knowledge I needed to will myself upwards with white hot wings of light the area around me was now illuminated with the bright reys shineing from my wings but all that mattered to me was that I could see my brother and hear him calling out to me I smiled feeling reasured that he had snapped out of that trance now I was sure that he could make it out of here
"Kouji!...Kouji!.." I called out loudly extending my hand out towards my brother who stopped yelling and only stared with a confused expression he seemed to be completely breaking down infront of me "Kouji?....I.." I said reaching out to grab his hand but I was hesitating thoes what if's what where haunting my mind where tearing me apart inside and I knew it was the same for my brother "Will you forgive me for whatever pain I have caused you?...Kouji... You're alive... I want you to continue liveing.... Why do you insist on remaining here?" I moved in a bit closer but wasnt expecting a reply as violent as a punch in the face
Kouji: You wouldnt fight back your death was a meaningless waste I am ashamed to call such a weak defenseless fool my brother
I cringed at his words which hurt more than the pain in my cheeek I floated motionless with my hand to my face for a wile before finally speaking up again "is that what you really think?...." he just stared almost emotionless
Kouji: Why did you come here?
Kouichi: Stop avoiding my question...
Kouji: It's true I detest your passive nature your ability to remain the same kind respectable person even in the bleakest situation who wouldnt hate such a thing it's unnatural and disturbing you're not a @#%$ saint damn it!
I whiped some blood off of my lip and glared at my brother it didnt really click in my mind that I was bleeding I only felt that lingering feeling of annoyance "Why must you sink to the level of a bratty child? This argument isnt getting either of us anywhere cant you see that or are your eyes to clouded by your arrogant rage" kouji seemed to furiously scowl at me and at the time I didnt care how much more enraged he became (I risked everything to try and save you and this is how you repay me) I rushed up into his face ""You look like you're about ready to hit me again go for it prove to me that you're no differant from Kousei!" I knew my brothers weakness though I was never brave enough to use it against him untill now and in my mind I only pictured him becomming angrier his true reaction would make thoes words my regret
Kouji said nothing rather he just looked down seemingly uneffected by my words the siolence became awkward and I felt anxious and uneasy (Why wont you respond say something anything)
Kouji's POV
The hard hitting reality of all this was that this guy was right it didnt matter if he wasnt my brother he knew he really knew how to tear me apart from the inside and all I can do is hang here strained to my limits trying to hold the pain inside ashamed I hang my head down and stare into the dark nothingness
(Have you come here to this place as an angel to damn me for my sins?) I questioned to myself knowing full well this imposter couldnt hear a word of it I don't know why I even cared about his thoughts (he doesnt know me I just let his words get to me.....What if hes right about me...)
Soon just drifted into my own thoughts completely unaware of my seroundings like daydreaming I was remembering what happened back then in that horable place I wondered why I had a right to blame this Kouichi I was also faced with the chance to fight Kousei and with the amount of anger I hald inside I would have torn him apart but why did I hesitate was I afriad of not being able to hold myself back afraid of becomming someone like father
Gijinka Growlmon an old oekaki but my best drawn picture so far haha
