Warning: This both a Yaoi/Yuri story story and a story with death, rape, and other nasty little things that will help you learn my nasty little mind. In other words, this has boyxboy love and is not intended for young, inocent children. I don't care what you think about such things, I do ask that if you don't like it, don't read it. DUH!! Don't send me flames, I will delete them immediately. {Maybe! ^_~} This story is now centered around Maho, Kasasagi, Saru, and Mujitsu. This is part of a series, if you read the other parts you may understand this one a little better. Here we go, another end to another story! Just this series left before the 'Final Battle'! Thanks.

This story is supposed to come after Family to the Fourth, A Day in the DigiWorld, Family Finds The Way, and Digital Reunion. Some parts in this story will only make sense if you have read Family to the Fourth, A Day in the DigiWorld, Family Finds The Way, and Digital Reuion. If you have read Family to the Fourth, A Day in the DigiWorld, Family Finds The Way, and Digital Reuion, I hope you have also read Never Leave Me (the one before). If you haven't, well, that's your problem and you can try to figure out what is happening. I am using the Japanese names for the humans.

Ages:
I gave up on the ages. You decide how old they are.

DISCLAIMER: (I hate this >_<) Okay, Yamachi, Taito, most of their friends, the Digimon of most of their friends, (Not Osamu's Digimon) Meko, Mara, Hamilton, the evolutions of the Mysterious Five (not their rookie forms mind you, I found those on the D-terminal toy), Dea, Dr. Lee, Doran, John, Thora, Nero, Nyx, Maho, Kasasagi, & Doommon and his forms are all mine. The Digidestineds' kids crests were my idea, but I won't take the crests ('cause I got the ideas for a few of them from other sites ^_~). The poem Kasasagi/Mendal is mine. Don't steal it! Thanks again!

Note:
Words that are in *these things* are thoughts.

Worse Than Death, Worse Than Life
Kasasagi/Mendal
By: Katmon =^.^= Ichijouji

_________________________________________________________________________________

Kasasagi/Mendal
Pain zapped at me,
Again and again.
She was gone,
I knew not where.
Her things were thrown, Whatever could be worse,
Than death,
The mon was asked.
Rape,
Came the reply.
God save her soul,
He cried.
Someone will pay,
We cry,
Into the night,
That swallows her up.

A sudden pain zapped though my mind. I tried to ignore it, but it came again. I shook me head a few times to clear it. Then it boomed and Maho was gone.

I fell to my knees, hands over my head, and breathing hard. I knew my two brothers were in the same position. It hurt to lose the connection with another. Mujitsu knew that the best. He had already gone through the same thing because of me. He tells me it isn't my fault, but I think it is.

Magmon hopped over and chirpped into my ear. 'What's wrong? You three look like you're in pain, and we can't find Maho.'

We jumped up in unison and ran to where it must have happened, a dark alleyway. I saw a glimmer out of the corner of my eye. I walked over to see what it was, and wished I hadn't.

"Maho's crests." I said, my mind reeling.

"Here's her D-3!" Mujitsu called from nearby.

"Her D-terminal!" Saru cried. "Kuso, kuso, kuso, kuso!"

"Cursing won't help the matter, Saru. We need a light. Dr. Lee, do you have one?" I asked turning to the man standing behind me with our Digimon. He nodded and handed me a lighter. "Magicamon, what do you want to do with her stuff?" I asked the smallest Digimon.

Magicamon flew over to me and picked up her crests. They shrunk at his touch and he placed them around his neck. Then he went to the others and took the D-3 and D-terminal, shrinking them and putting them into a small pouch at his side. After that he flew back to Dr. Lee and rested on his shoulder. Maho had placed Dr. Lee in Magicamon's care, after all.

I flipped open the lighter and walked into the alleyway with my brothers and our Digimon. I saw a heap and went to get a closer look.

"Kuso! Chikusho! I found something you guy!" I had found a pile of clothes. They were cut in such a way that one could pull them off someone who didn't want them to. They were Maho's.

"Chikusho! Someone's ass is mine! If they even think about hurting her..." Saru let the threat hang in the air.

"I think it's too late for that, Saru. There's blood over here and there looks like there was a struggle." Mujitsu called sadly from the other side of the alley.

Saru said some not very nice things in other languages. We walked over to Mujitsu to look. We stopped before the blood and prayed for our little sister. I felt tears slowly falling down my face.

"That's not her blood." A tiny, not-often-used voice told us. I let my breath out in a whoosh. I hadn't even really realized I'd been holding it. "But, with what they did do to her, she'd wish she was dead. Trust me."

We all turned and looked at the Digimon. "What are you saying, Magicamon? What could be powerful enough to block her mind from ours? What could ever be worse than death?" I asked the Digimon angrily.

The word was no more than a whisper, but it hit home, and hard. "Rape." The little Digimon replied. I wished I hadn't asked. I sat down, hard, the tears falling faster now. My head was throbbing.

"Are... are you s-s-sure, M-Magicamon?" Mujitsu asked, as struken as me. The little, soft-spoken Digimon nodded, hanging his head.

"Oh, God... God, no... God, save her soul..." Saru whispered, his cursing forgotten in the sudden hit of pain.

"Someone Will Pay!!" We yelled into the night. Then we fell into each others' arms, crying. Dr. Lee also cried. I knew why he cried. I never thought I would know pain. The last time I knew pain, was went Mujitsu denided me his love. That hurt, but not as much as this. It was like my heart had been torn out. I could have sworn, before, that death was the worst that could happen, but now I know better. Oh, I know.

*cringes* Ouch. That'll hit hard, and dig deep. I hope Maho's alright *giggles silently* I already know, and I think you'll find it interesting! More looks at my messed up mind! We love those!!

Ja ne!
