Shukumei no Yuki

Chapter Five

 

      Matt smiled as he talked with Chimon, it had been along time and he had lots to tell the digimon. Chimon hadn't changed a bit since they had last seen each other, it was also funny on how he was now taller then Chimon.

 

      He knew in his heart that Chimon wouldn't grow old or die like humans no matter how human he looked, and Chimon was so powerful he could easily kill Matt with a single hit.

 

      "Chimon, where your agumon friend?" he asked finally, the last time he had been with Chimon those two digimon had been best friends and always together.

 

      "Agumon, he went to visit primary village," Chimon said blinking his golden eyes, Matt looked at his digimon who was once again Gabumon.

 

      "Why don't you go see Agumon Gabumon, its been a long time since either of us saw him," Matt suggested, the wolf like digimon smiled and ran from view.

 

      "Chimon I have a question?" Ken suddenly asked, Matt then blinked realizing that the two of them had been ignoring the blue haired teen.

 

      "Sure, what?" Chimon asked cheerfully, Ken took a deep breath and asked his question.

 

      "I've never heard of a digimon like you before, where did you come from?" Ken asked; Matt looked at Chimon also wondering. He had never heard of a digimon like Chimon before, and when he asked other digimon they hadn't either.

 

***

 

      Ken instantly regretted asking that question when a feeling of depression seemed to surround the humanoid digimon, he took a step back slightly nervous... this was a mega digimon after all.

 

      Chimon sighed and hugged himself, with sad eyes he turned around and looked at the blue sky and its few white clouds.

 

      "You wouldn't of heard of me before anyway, not many other digimon know my full past.... and I'm not going to tell you all of it," Chimon whispered, when Ken heard Chimons voice his eyes widened. Chimon sounded much younger then he looked, and very sad.

 

      "Tell us what you can then," Matt said gentle, Chimon turned his head slightly and gave Matt a slight smile.

 

      "I wasn't born like other digimon... in the beginning I was something else, I was chosen a long time ago and reborn as what I am today. I won't tell you what I once was since my life before ended so sadly, but my destiny is different now," Chimon whispered, Kens felt his blood chill as he looked at Chimon. Inside his mind something seemed to click, he looked at Matt and saw he had a strange look on his face.

 

      "I knew you you didn't I, before the dark masters didn't I?" Matt asked; Ken’s eyes widened when he heard the terrible sadness in the older teens voice and the terrible agony in his voice.

 

      As Ken watched Chimon slowly turned and stood face to face with Matt, he reached out and pushed a strand of hair out of Matts eyes. Then slowly he gave a small glance at Ken, Ken saw anger and a deep deep sadness that seemed to scream to him.

 

      "You know the answer already Yama," Chimon whispered, and then before Matt could say anything Chimons wings appeared again. Chimon stepped back again and it was right off the cliff, wind caught the wings and Chimon began to fly away.

 

      "Tai wait, please forgive me," Matt yelled after the retreating digimon, but Chimon didn't look back and seemed to vanish into the suns light.

 

***

 

      Matt fell crying to the ground, he felt as if his heart was about to break... he pounded the ground with his fists. After all these years: he had found Tai again, a friend he had thought dead... and once again Tai had left.

 

      "Why, why Tai... why didn't you tell me you were still alive," Matt cried tears falling down his face, he curled into a ball and kept on crying.

 

      It was awhile later that he felt a slim hand land on his shoulder, startled he uncurled and looked up to see a confused and concerned Ken.

 

      "Who is Tai?" Ken asked, Matt sighed and knew that it was time to tell someone of the original digidestined greatest shame.

 

***

 

      "Tai was the original leader of our group, he was an energetic kid and liked to make people happy. I found out later that he was emotionally abused all the time at home by his family, but that isn't the point," Matt said, Ken looked at him and glanced in the direction Tai/Chimon had vanished.

 

      "He was like Davis when I knew him, the reason the other originals probably treat Davis like an idiot is because he is so much like Tai. He was an amazing leader, he would pull of amazing plans that would defeat the enimie without hurting innocents... he was amazing," Matt said and Ken heard respect in his voice, he had never heard respect like that from Matt before.

 

      "What happened?" Ken asked, Matt looked at Ken and Ken saw anger in his eyes... self-anger and a deep sadness.

 

      "We were looking for out crests when it happened, Tai had his and wanted his digital partner to digivolve. Etemon showed up and Tai had the wrong attitude that day, he made Agumon digivolve wrong.... god that fight was terrible and I still get nightmares from it," Matt’s said shaking his head, he paused and then continued.

 

      "Agumon went back to his in-training form after and Tai was beyond horrified at what he had done, it was a simple mistake... but the others couldn't forgive him," Matt said with a deep sigh, Ken looked at Matt and wondered what else had happened.

 

      "And then?" he questioned; Matt gave a sob but continued.

 

      "They kicked him out of the group before he could even apologize for his mistake, and no what we were in a huge dessert... he went out there with no supplies, water, food. The only thing he had was his faithful digimon partner, he vanished... I thought he was dead but all this time he's watched us and been my friend," Matt cried out and the blond seemed to crumble, Ken comforted him and wondered how the people he had come to think as role models could do this.

 

      'I wonder how this Tai became a mega level digimon in the first place, I'll try to find out later but first i better get Matt home' Ken thought with a heavy heart, he also knew that he had to find out why the others had done that to this Tai person.

 

      'I hope Chimon or Tai isn't hard to find' Ken thought, he then told Stingmon to digivolve and take them to the nearest gate to take them back to the real world.
