Hikari Week - Day 1: Light/Dark
Days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Title: Shadows Characters: Hikari, Tailmon, Taichi, Takeru and the rest of the Chosen Children in minor roles. Summary: Hikari deals with being taken to the Dark Ocean and being possessed by the Homeosthasis for the second time. Hikari woke up one more time that night. She had lost account of how many times she had woken and stared at the white ceiling above her. It had been one day since she had been taken to the dark ocean and was brought back by Tailmon and Takeru, but the nightmares didn't seem to stop and she had a feeling they wouldn't stop anytime soon. Curled up next to her belly, Tailmon slept peacefully. Hikari couldn't help but smile and very softly began to stroke her fur. The Digimon stirred but didn't wake up. She felt slightly jealous of her partner being a heavy sleeper. Hikari was glad Tailmon was properly sleeping for the first night since the dark ocean. In the other ones, she stayed up all night taking care of her in case she'd wake up after another nightmare, which happened pretty much all night long. "Having trouble sleeping?" Taichi's voice echoed in her room and Hikari looked down. He was sleeping on a slim mattress on the floor. "You didn't need to sleep here." She said as she rested her chin on the wood protection on the edge of her bed. "I know, but I'm worried about you." "I'm alright, Taichi." "I'm sure you are, but these nightmares aren't." "They will go away soon." She rolled over on her bed and went back to staring at the ceiling. "Mom is also worried about you." "I can tell." She sighed. "Like I said, they will go away soon." "But you don't know that, do you?" "No, but I can hope." "Hikari, you were transported to another world we don't know about. You got lucky Tailmon found you and told Takeru. Are you aware you got lucky?" "Yes, Taichi, I'm aware of that." Hikari said a little annoyed. "I didn't want things to be this way, but for some reason darkness chooses me. Maybe because I'm the bearer of the Crest of Light and they always go together." "Your Crest has nothing to do with it." Taichi said firmly. "It was the thing that possessed you three years ago and now you get taken away to a different place without wanting to. I don't know why these things happen to you, but I swear I won't let them happen again." "What are you going to do about it? You can't keep an eye on me 24/7 all the time and I don't want it." "I don't know, but I'll figure something out." He looked at her. "We need to wake up early in the morning to go to school. Do you think you can sleep until then?" "I will try." "Are you sure you are ready to go back to school?" "Yes. I'm alright." "I still think you shouldn't go tomorrow. Daisuke or Takeru can bring you the subjects later, so you can catch up." "I don't want to miss school because mom will check on me all day and not do anything else. I don't want her to worry about me. She already has too much to take care of." "Hikari." Tailmon said in a low tone as she looked at her partner. At some point she had woken up without Hikari having realized it. "Well, you know mom. You can't really blame her, can you?" "No." Hikari said eventually and rolled over to look at the white wall. "Good night, brother." "Good night, Hikari."

Hikari Week : Day 1 (Light/Dark)
Tumblr media
Fic Title :ย She moves the same way stars dance in the night Themes : Royalty AU, Nobility AU, Star-crossed Lovers, Arranged Marriage, Reincarnation AU Characters : Her Highness Princess Hikari Yagami, Lord Yamato Ishida, His Crown Prince Taichi Yagami,ย  Relationship : Yamato x Hikari (Yakari/Yamakari) Word Count : 7k & countingย  Chapter 8: Twilight hour (Hikariโ€™s perspective) The day I was born was one of the darkest days for our kingdom. The late King wasnโ€™t present to experience his secondbornโ€™s birth, Lord Hiroaki was left in charge of the kingdom in his absence. The late Queen had a difficult pregnancy with me, the palace doctor and wetnurses werenโ€™t even certain of our survival rate. At that time, Taichi and Lord Ishida were just three springs old, old enough to understand the value of a new life. It had not rained for months, yet the skies were always gray and clouded. Without angelsโ€™ tears or the rays of the Sun, the crops throughout the lands were withering, incapable of providing any harvest; even if a miracle came during the summertime. The lakes were drying up and household by household, families throughout the land were losing loved ones. When my forefather was appointed king, this was exactly why he was given the crown. It was to save our people, to provide and protect them against man, God, and other forces that cross us. The late King was not present during my birth because of this, he went searching for a solution, seeing what other nations did and how we could save ourselves. It was also the reason why the late Queen Yuuko had a difficult pregnancy; because even though she married into the Yagami royal family, nothing could spare her from the wrath of the gods. Some say she was being punished for the sins of her kingโ€™s family. Then the last slivers of daylight slipped into the night, that awkward hour when the setting Sun and sparkling stars are visible to the naked eye at the same time. โ€œItโ€™s a girl! A healthy baby girl! We have our new princess,โ€ cried the palace doctor. As if the kingdom was being forgiven for its sins, or perhaps the curse broke; the last ray of light broke, and it was the brightest night the kingdom had ever seen. I was named after that light that came with the rain, the crops, the thousands of spirits, and one grateful Queen who lived to gift her king his secondborn.

the wind is whispering (hikari week, day seven)
Tumblr media
for hikari week, @sluggybasson107 and i decided to collaborate - for every entry iโ€™ve written, sheโ€™s drawn an image. the picture above was created by sluggy, and with her permission, iโ€™ve posted it along with a story.
characters: hikari and tailmon
summary:ย  when hikari moves into her new house, it's as if she's stepped into a fairytale. however, her storybooks can't explain the weird scratch marks that appear on her walls every night, or the trees seem to call her name. // also on AO3
a/n: this story is dedicated to @patamon - thank you for your constant support, kind words, and friendship. im grateful for you
โ€œHold on tight!โ€
The moving van jostled its passengers over potholes and gravel, giggles spilling from Hikariโ€™s lips.
All too soon, the vehicle jolted to a stop, Taichi releasing a breath of relief.ย 
โ€œSee? It wasnโ€™t so bad,โ€ their father joked. In the front seat, their motherโ€™s face was tinted green, knuckles white against the passenger handle.ย 
Unbuckling her seatbelt, Hikari gazed out of the window, brown eyes aglow with curiosity.ย 
โ€œCan we get out now?โ€ Taichi groaned. It had been six hours since he had last stretched his legs, irritation furrowing at his brow.ย 
โ€œOn one condition: you carry at least one box inside. This van wonโ€™t unpack itself.โ€ย 
Before Taichi could agree, his door slammed shut. Hikari followed soon after, anxious to catch a glimpse of their new house.ย 
Rocks crunched underneath her sneakers once she stepped out, the sun shining brightly overhead. A light breeze toyed with the ends of her hair, whispering in her ear. โ€˜Welcome home,โ€™ the wind seemed to say.ย 
Her parents had told her that their new house would be bigger than their cramped Tokyo apartment, that the air would be fresher and that she would have more room to play. Hikari, for her part, never doubted them, but a shock of surprise rooted her in place as her eyes took in the sight before her.ย 
Their home sat in the midst of an open field, an impressive acreage that begged to be explored. Wildflowers reached Hikariโ€™s knees, the petals of a daisy tickling her thigh. The open expanse of sky was broken up by treetops circling the property, an alcove of lush greenery.
It was as if Hikariโ€™s fairytale books had come to life; she had been transported into an entirely new world.ย 
โ€œCโ€™mon, slow poke,โ€ her father chided. He had been all smiles once the family decided to move; the moment his office job let him go without notice, he had been ready for a change.ย 
Hikariโ€™s mother, on the other hand, was still car-sick from the ride.ย 
With a flourish, the moving van was opened. Boxes that were once stacked with great care now laid in a heap at the mouth of the door. โ€œWe hit nearly every pothole on the way here, Hikari. But donโ€™t worry; Iโ€™m sure all your stuff is just fine.โ€ย 
He reached in, grabbing the first parcel with his daughterโ€™s chicken scratch scrawled on the side. โ€œOh, and guess what?โ€ he asked, placing the box securely in his daughterโ€™s grasp, โ€œYou get your own room.โ€
With a gasp, Hikari embraced her father with a free arm. โ€œThank you,โ€ she whispered before pulling away. Hugging the package close to her chest, she darted through the yard, flowers whipping at her ankles.ย 
โ€œHurry, Hikari, or Iโ€™m going to pick the biggest room!โ€ Taichiโ€™s head peeked around a doorframe before disappearing from view.ย 
Kicking her shoes off on the veranda, Hikari set foot into what would be their family room. To the right stood the empty hallway her brother must have run down, his trail clear through the thin coating of dust.ย 
Box in hand, Hikari made her way towards the first door. Before she managed to catch a glimpse of what lay inside, her brother urged her to โ€œStay out!โ€ย 
The sounds of furniture being moved traveled down the hall; the moving men had arrived. She would need to find a room soon.ย 
Curiously, the only other room off the hallway was a bathroom, the floorboards ending abruptly at the foot of an ornate, Western-style door. The knob shone in the mid-afternoon sunlight, the moisture in the air clinging to Hikariโ€™s brow.ย 
Wiping her sweaty palms on her shorts, she attempted to twist the doorknob, the lock remaining stubbornly shut. Setting her box down, Hikari used both hands to pull, the wood bowing against her efforts.ย 
Out of breath, she leaned her forehead against the doorframe. Her parents chatted idly at the other end of the house, already arranging the furniture in their own room. Already, Hikariโ€™s boxes had been stacked neatly at the mouth of the hallway, patiently awaiting her decision.ย 
โ€œPlease,โ€ she whispered, as if the door could hear her plea. And, perhaps, it did. Steadying herself, Hikari twisted the knob for a final time, nearly falling backwards once the door swung easily on its hinges.ย 
Without having time to react, the dust seemed to move, scattering about the already dirty floor. A small, dark mass collided with the tip of her sneaker, slipping away just as Hikari tried to catch it.
Despite the dust mites, the room was charming. Though it was small, a window, directly across from the entryway, looked out into the forest. Summerโ€™s sunshine illuminated the floor, casting cheerful shadows along the wall.ย 
Hikari smiled; this would make a wonderful room. More specs of dust danced around her, flitting through the air with ease.ย 
Once the moving van had been unloaded, and Hikariโ€™s room nearly unpacked, the Yagami family sat down for take-out dinners, cartons scattered amongst the remainder of their boxes.ย 
โ€œSo, how do you guys like it here so far?โ€ their mother asked, looking significantly less green than before.ย 
โ€œWell,โ€ Taichi tried, a few stray noodles dangling from his chin, โ€œThereโ€™s nothing to do. Are you sure there isnโ€™t a soccer club I can join?โ€
With a half-hearted smile of sympathy, their father shook his head. โ€œSorry, son. The school here just isnโ€™t big enough. Luckily, summer break is almost over. Iโ€™m sure you can find something to do before the new term begins.โ€ย 
If he noticed the way his son rolled his eyes, the older man didnโ€™t comment on it. Instead, he turned his attention to his daughter.ย 
โ€œHikari, what about you?โ€
Chopsticks hovering mid-air, Hikari took a moment to think. Silently, she chewed on a piece of onigiri.
โ€œMy room is nice, aside from the little dust bunnies. The window has a really pretty view.ย  Do you think I could plant some flowers, Daddy?โ€
Wrapping more noodles around her chopsticks, Hikari looked up expectantly, patiently awaiting her fatherโ€™s answer.
โ€œBaby, what dust bunnies? I had a cleaning crew tidy up yesterday so that we wouldnโ€™t have to do any chores once we got here.โ€
Taichi, having got over his initial disappointment, chimed in. โ€œI donโ€™t know what sheโ€™s talking about. My room was completely fine.โ€
Hikariโ€™s eyes flitted between the two, confusion furrowing at her brow. โ€œBut I saw it,โ€ she spoke up. โ€œThe dust bunnies ran away as soon as I opened the door at the end of the hall. One even crawled over my shoe!โ€ย 
Her own confusion was mirrored in the eyes of her father, a finger tapping his chin in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, a look of understanding softening his features.
โ€œItโ€™s been a long day, my love. This house is very old, and itโ€™s easy to let your imagination run wild. Donโ€™t worry, those dust bunnies will disappear as soon as you wake up in the morning.โ€
Satisfied with his own answer, her father continued his meal, steering the conversation towards his wife.ย 
Taichi caught Hikariโ€™s eyes across their make-shift table, sticking his tongue out.โ€I thought you had already grown out of your imaginary friends.โ€
A flush crawled up the back of her neck, cheeks tinged pink. Instead of responding, Hikari hunkered down, finishing the rest of her supper in silence.
-
Later that night, after her parents had tucked her in, Hikari laid wide awake, ears trained on the noises of the night.
From down the hall, her brother shifted in his bed, the floorboards creaking beneath him.
An owl called out,its eerie song sending a shiver down Hikariโ€™s back. Deeper within the house, a pair of footsteps meandered about the kitchen.
This house was old, she reminded herself. A few strange noises were to be expected.
Hikari did not expect, however, to hear faint scratching against the thin walls of her closet. Tucked beneath the comforter, she froze in place.
Heart beating in her ears, her breath came in fast spurts. โ€œWhoโ€™s there?โ€ she whispered, the cry of the owl startling her once more.ย 
With bated breath, Hikari waited for a response, flinching when the scratching continued.ย 
As if the source of the noise could smell her fear, the sound of claws scraping against the door grew louder, almost insistent.ย 
Mustering up her courage, Hikari crawled out from underneath her blanket, socks muffling the sounds of her footsteps.ย 
Moonlight shone through the window, stronger than any nightlight.ย 
With every footstep, the scratching grew louder, more urgent.ย  Despite sweeping the floor thoroughly, dust had already accumulated around the edges of the doorframe, her socks stained gray.ย 
Hikari shivered, wrapping her arms around her body.ย 
Reaching out, her trembling hand stopped short of the doorknob, an audible thud resonating from within.ย 
The knob rattled on its own, twisting, turning until the door swung ajar.ย 
Hikari leaped back, a gasp of surprise rushing from her lungs.ย 
โ€œYou know,โ€ a strange, soft voice whispered, โ€œYouโ€™re awfully small for a human.โ€
The little girlโ€™s mouth ran dry, fear rooting her in place.ย 
A white paw, no bigger than Hikariโ€™s own hand, peeked from the crack in the door. Two cerulean eyes gazed up at her from the shadows, studying Hikari with a ferocity she had never known.
โ€œFear is not very becoming on you,โ€ the voice stated. Creaking on its hinges, the closet door swung open wider, revealing Hikariโ€™s late-night visitor.
Fur as white as the moon, a small cat sat perched on the threshold, disdain curling at the edges of its mouth.
Hikari could only stare, hair standing on end. โ€œWho are you?โ€ she asked once more, pretending not to notice the tremor in her voice.ย 
The cat sat languidly, comfortable in the midst of Hikariโ€™s fear. โ€œI am called Tailmon. You must be the one they call Hikari.โ€
โ€œThey? Who are they?โ€ Previous exhaustion forgotten, adrenaline pumped through Hikariโ€™s veins. Stepping closer, she allowed herself to stare at her visitor openly.ย 
Despite being on the smaller side, her feline friend appeared to be an average house cat. Tailmonโ€™s eyes glittered in mirth, as if Hikari should have known the answer to her own questions.
โ€œThe soot sprites, of course. Theyโ€™ve been keeping an eye on you. They wouldnโ€™t allow just anyone into this room.โ€
Realization dawned on the young girl. โ€œDo you mean the dust bunnies? Daddy told me I imagined them.โ€
Tailmonโ€™s tail twitched back and forth,ย  her hmmph hardly discernible. โ€œParents are often the most unimaginative creatures you will ever meet.โ€
Feline eyes stared up at her, as if daring her to disagree. Crouching down to Tailmonโ€™s level, Hikari offered a small smile. Pairs of little eyes peeked around the corner, dissipating as Hikariโ€™s eyes began to focus. They danced just beyond her peripherals, skirting around her vision.
โ€œWhy me?โ€ Hikari asked, breaking the silence. โ€œWhy did the soot sprites let me in this room?โ€
โ€œIt wouldnโ€™t be any fun if I told you all of the answers right away. Sometimes,โ€ Tailmon paused, grooming the back of her paw, โ€œYou have to take things slow.โ€
Hikari nodded as if she understood, but it was as if Tailmon could see right through her.ย 
โ€œWould you like to go on an adventure?โ€ the feline asked, tail flicking behind her. Opening her mouth to speak, Hikariโ€™s reply was cut off. โ€œIt would help answer some of your questions.โ€
The moonlight projected long shadows onto the floor, Hikariโ€™s finger tracing lightly over the outlines.ย  โ€œMommy doesnโ€™t like it if I go outside without telling her. Where would we go?โ€ Her voice was hushed, lips pursed in worry.ย 
Anxiety welled inside her stomach, Hikariโ€™s late-night visitor eyeing her with indifference.
Gusts of wind rustled outside, the chirping of crickets growing louder.ย ย 
โ€œI canโ€™t tell you where we would be going, only that you would be back before the sun peeked over the horizon.โ€ Tailmonโ€™s eyes darted to the window and back. โ€œIf everything goes smoothly, that is.โ€
Outside of her window, the moon seemed to glimmer, beckoning Hikari closer. Through the thin walls, she could barely make out the sound of her father snoring. If Tailmon could be trusted, her parents wouldnโ€™t even notice she had been out of the house at all.ย 
โ€œDo you promise Iโ€™ll be back soon? I donโ€™t want my parents to worry.โ€ With as much courage as the eight-year-old could muster, Hikariโ€™s eyes bore into Tailmonโ€™s. The cat was unperturbed, silent under the little girlโ€™s scrutiny. Outside, the wind rippled through the treetops, almost whispering.ย 
โ€˜Come.โ€™
With a final flick of the tail, Tailmon rose on all fours. โ€œI will not make any promises, Hikari. But if you wish to join me, we must be leaving soon. The trees are calling and they are most impatient.โ€
Tailmonโ€™s lithe frame slipped through the bedroom door, paws silent against the floorboard.
Haphazardly throwing a jacket over her thin, cotton pajamas, Hikari padded after her, quietly shutting the veranda door behind her.ย 
Once she was outside, the moon embraced her, lighting her path with a dim glow. Wildflowers hugged Hikariโ€™s ankles, almost pulling her towards Tailmon.
An ear twitched, the catโ€™s head turning ever-so-slightly.ย 
โ€œThe soot sprites were right about you, Hikari. Follow close behind me; I wouldnโ€™t want you to get lost.โ€
