Chapter Twenty-Seven: Is This Really Good Bye?

The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence, no one even dared to breathe anymore. The sight before them was just too horrifying but none could turn away. It just didn't seem possible, the crimson liquid seeped through the nails and dropped down onto the cold floor in little raindrops.

Angewomon seems to be frozen in time, her face held a shock look even though most of her helmet covered her face. But no one could blame her for looking so terrified since anyone's mouth can drop when they see the sight in front of them, well...save for one person. Lilithmon was smirking and her eyes showed amusement in them. She began to chuckle lightly and then gradually began to grow into hysterics. The whole room echoed her laughter, making it louder than it seems but then she finally spoke.

" How ironic, I thought it was the other way around..." (A/N: Dun Dun Duuunnn!!!)

Lobomon stood frozen to his spot, unable to move either way because of the nails that pierced through him. His legs would give in anytime as his whole body started to weaken dramatically. Lilithmon gave a sudden jerk on the nails and they ripped themselves out of Lobomon, immediately he collasped onto the ground limply as a pool of red began to grow around him. Angewomon, who stood behind him defencelessly, began to shake uncontroably at the sight of his limp body.

" The fear and shock in your eyes Angwomon," She paused to let out a small chuckle, " Is just so amusing. " laughed Lilithmon again, her claw still soaked with Lobomon's blood. At this point, Lobomon had reverted back to Kouji and JagerLoewemon finally snapped out of his daze.(A/N: I just realized, I know he's not suppose to bleed but turn into like what...data? But its not dramatic enough so...work with me X) )

" Kouji...No...KOUJI!!!! " He sprinted towards Kouji's limp body and hesitantly stepped into the growing pool of blood around his brother. He immediately reverted back to his normal self (A/N: Which is Kouichi) and knelt down beside him. A mix of emotions were in his eyes; shock, fear, anger and sorrow. Kouichi finally broke down and cryed hard on Kouji's body. Everyone who would have witnessed this would instantly feel grief and sorrow and would soon break down crying too. Takuya felt hot tears brimming his eyes, not just of sorrow but of anger and hate. He clenched his fist and teeth, trying to hold them back, he refused to cry, especially in front of an enemy. He will get revenge, there was no questions asked.

Lilithmon watched the scene with the same amusement in her eyes, not a hint of remorse or sympathy. Kouichi, sensing that emotion out of the entire room filled with sorrow, turned to the person that emitted it and glared dangerously at her. Hate and anger overpowered the sorrow in his eyes as he slowly stood up, keeping the glare hard and focused on Lilithmon.

" You..." Kouichi seethed, making the word sound like poison. Anyone who heard the tone of voice Kouichi was using can tell right away that whoever he's using it on is about to feel excruciating pain. But Lilithmon remained unfazed by his dark tone and just stood there smirking.

" Your looks don't intimidate me but I can't help but admire those hateful-filled eyes. It shows that you are truely the warrior of darkness..."

" I'm nothing like the darkness that surrounds you! You're just a cruel digimon who finds joy from killing other innocent digimons! You sick minded monster! " shouted Kouichi, his voice full of anger. Lilithmon chuckled lightly again.

" I'm flattered..." At this point, the anger inside Kouichi finally snapped and he spirit evolved back into his beast spirit again and charged directly towards Lilithmon. A strong aura of power surrounding him as he prepared to attack (A/N: Sort of like wen IceDevimon was hurting Kouji in that little dome and he attacked him from behind, there's like this purple aura surrounding him, you know? X) )

" Ebony Blast!! " Lilithmon side-stepped out of the way without much of an effort as the attack zoomed right past her. Soon everyone joined in on helping Kouichi attack and destroy Lilithmon but one person didn't. Angewomon, who still stood petrified over Kouji's body had silent tears rolling down her cheeks but she took no notice of them.

' It's not possible...this can't be happening...' Were her thoughts, ' I was the one who was suppose to die, not him...then why? ' She felt herself go weak and her legs felt like jello. Her legs gave way and she collasped on her knees, still in dispair. The clashes of attacks and battle sounds seemed distance in her ears even though the echoeing room projected those sound louder than they were suppose to be. To Amiko, it seems her world has shattered into pieces like it was made out of glass to begin with. In her life, she has never felt so much pain and sorrow before from her heart. Now, she felt empty; souless even, like that time when her secret was exposed. But yet, it wasn't like that time because in the end, everything worked out. This is something that can't be turned into a happy ending; Kouji was gone...for good.

The thought made her heart ache even more but then anger boiled in her veins as the image of his killer came into mind. Angewomon clenched her fist so tight that her knuckles began to turn white.

' That demon...' She forced herself to stand, determined to give that witch a taste of her own medicine. She formed her bow and arrow of light in her hand and took aim for Lilithmon. Being caught up with fighting the other warriors, Lilithmon didn't notice her and her intentions. Once Lilithmon dodged into a clearing, Angewomon released her arrow but Lilithmon shifted position and the arrow zoomed past her. She looked directly at Angewomon and smirked.

" Taking revenge on your dead boyfriend? Aw how sweet. " She mocked.

" Shut up. " spat Angewomon and made another arrow of light to shoot. Thinking they had a chance at attacking her, Takuya and the other warriors ganged up on Lilithmon but she merely dodged them and then hit back twice as hard. With her friends blocking the way, Angewomon couldn't get a clear shot at Lilithmon.

' Shoot! I can't see her, if I shoot, I might end up hitting one of my friends! ' Too caught up in trying to work something out, she didn't notice that her friends had cleared out of the way to avoid Lilithmon's demonic claw. Mistaking it for the perfect chance to get her, she didn't notice that the claw was in fact heading towards her until she realized it a little too late.

" Angewomon get out of the way! " shouted Takuya as he tackled her out of the way. They both tumbled to the ground and landed with an abrupt thud, " You shouldn't be so careless, you almost got killed! " scowled Takuya. Angewomon gritted her teeth, annoyed that someone like him was lecturing her.

" I can take care of myself. " she retorted as she stood up.

" Then what do you call that back there?! "

" I was trying to get a clear shot at her, if it weren't for you and the others crowding around her, I would've actually got her! "

" At least we were doing something instead of just standing there! " It soon grew into a heated arguement as they both shouted back and forth at each other. Lilithmon knocked the other remaining warriors out of the way and launched her nails towards them.

" You guys watch out! " shouted Zephyrmon. Both BurningGreymon and Angewomon were knocked back by the nails, Takuya getting scratched along with Angewomon. They both slid down the wall painfully as they tried to steady themselves.

" You guys have got to stop fighting! " shouted Zephyrmon.

" We have to work together to beat Lilithmon. " added in Korikakumon. Angewomon and Takuya didn't seem too convinced and comfortable with the idea of working with one another so the warriors pestered on.

" We're all upset that she killed Kouji! I should know! But we won't get her back individually because then we're not strong enough! We all got the same goal so why not just combine our power and knock her out, then we'll all be satisfied! " shouted JagerLoewemon. Angewomon gritted her teeth, knowing that Kouichi does have a point.

" I guess he's right... " muttered BurningGreymon, he turned to Angewomon who looked thoughtful, " I'm sorry I shouted at you like that, I guess I sort of lost my temper because seeing Kouji die like that, it just makes me mad that you were nearly killed too. And I know you loved him very much. " Angewomon looked at Takuya and sighed out.

" Yeah, and I'm sorry that, well, I lost my temper like that too. And yes, I still love him now. I was just so mad..."

" Then let's use that anger out on the right person..." suggested BurningGreymon. Angewomon gave a weak smile before nodding in understandment.

" How touching but what makes you think that you could defeat me so easily?! " Lilithmon shouted, " Nazar Nails! " Her nails missed Angewomon, who jumped into the air while BurningGreymon jumped out of the way and landed beside the rest of the warriors.

" Let's finish this!! " shouted MetalKabuterimon as everyone charged torwards Lilithmon. She remained in her place but as they got nearer, they were knocked back to where they started. Lilithmon laughed at their pathetic attempt to defeat but in spite of that, they stood right up and charged again, aiming all their attacks on her. Again, they were knocked back by Lilithmon who didn't give much of an effort to fight against them.

Repeatedly, they kept on attacking but everytime they were one step away from Lilithmon, they would get knocked back by her. This went on for quite some times and Lilithmon was getting annoyed by it. Everytime they get knocked down, they would just get back up and keep fighting.

" Why are you even bothering to fight a losing battle? " Lilithmon asked.

" Because...you did something that is unforgivable...And we can't let that slip by so easily. " replied Takuya, panting a bit but his eyes still shone a determined look in them. Lilithmon snarled back and raised her demonic claw again, " Nazar Nail! " Again, the warriors made a quick dodge and charged directly torwards her again.

" Pyro Barrage!! "

" Ebony Blast! "

" Hurricane Gale!! " Lilithmon swiped away all of the attack with her claw and lashed it out at them again. An acidic poison dripped from her claw and melted the marble floor below it. The warriors had to withdraw to avoid the poison and Angewomon took flight along with Zephyrmon.

" Why don't we combine our attacks? " suggested Zephyrmon to Angewomon.

" It's worth a shot, " agreed Angewomon, " Celestial Arrow! " The arrow of light appeared in Angewomon's hand as she took aim at Lilithmon and fired it.

" Hurricane Gale! " Zephyrmon's whirlwind of pink feather-like blades encased the arrow of light, the whirlwind became much more narrowed at the point and the attack soared torwards Lilithmon at a more greater speed. Lilithmon was struck with the whirlwind arrow which left a gashing mark on her left arm. She slightly winced in pain and growled at them.

" How dare you... " she seethed and lashed out her claw again but surprisingly missed the warriors by a centimeter.

" Where are you aiming lady? " asked Takuya as he stood his grounds.

" Shut it! " spat Lilithmon as the launched her claw at them again. Everyone side stepped the claw and Kouichi took the oppertunity to hit her.

" Ebony Blast! " His attack hit her dead on as Lilithmon stumbled back.

" You insolent little brats! " she screeched as she again, whipped out her claw at them out of rage. The warriors again, easily dodged her attack, " Why won't you just stay down already?! " Her annoyance and anger began to get the best of her as Lilithmon continued to attack them with her claw, almost desperately trying to hit either one of them.

" Because, you did something unforgivable! We won't rest until you end up like Lucemon! Gone for good! " shouted JP.

" Yeah! " chorused the rest of the warriors.

" I won't rest until I get exactly what I want! You'll never stop me from getting the spirit of Angewomon!! NEVER!!! " shouted Lilithmon, rage was evident in her eyes as she lashed out her claw again, " You're the only thing that stands in my way! As long as you're still here, I won't rest until I destroy all of you!! "

All the legendary warriors moved once again to avoid getting hit by her acidic claw. The more they dodged, the more annoyed and angrier Lilithmon became and her attacks were reckless and off target. And to top it off, Takuya had been constantly taunting her on her aiming.

" You know, you should try aiming AT your target..." taunted Takuya for the 20th time. Lilithmon growled in annoyance and lashed out her claw again only to have it dodged by the warriors a little too easily.

" Aw so close.. " sighed Takuya in a mocking way.

" You just keep your trap shut! " shouted Lilithmon, all the anger and the blind attacks had slowly begin worn her out.

" Now its our turn to attack! Hurricane Gale! " Zephyrmon's attack surprisingly missed Lilithmon who had dodged out of the way on time.

" I may be tired but that doesn't mean I can't move! Nazar Nail! " Her claw extended in length and left a gash on Zephyrmon's stomach which immediately made her change back to Zoe.

" Zoe! " shouted JP.

" I got her! " replied Angewomon as she swooped down and caught her before she hit the ground, " Zoe, are you alright? "

" Yeah, but my stomach kills now... " moaned Zoe as she looked down at her stomach, there was a thin gash mark and it was slightly bleeding.

" The wound's not deep but please, you must hide and recover before you digivolve again. " advised Angewomon. Zoe nodded and stood up limply and ran over near Kouji.

" Angewomon, we could use your help over here! " called BurningGreymon as he and the others tried attacking Lilithmon but to only have most of their attacks swatted away. Angewomon nodded and rushed in to help her friends, she narrowly dodged the demonic claw that belonged to Lilithmon along the way.

" She's slowly growing tired but she still has the strength to actually put up a fight. " said Korikakumon.

" Yeah, she just won't give up! It starting to annoy me now! " exclaimed Takuya.

" Then we'll keep fighting. " said Angewomon as she prepared to attack, " Celestial Arrow! " Again, Lilithmon dodged out of the way but just barely and lashed out her claw while spraying acidic poison.

" Alright! Here's our chance! Korikakumon! MetalKabuterimon! Do your thing! " shouted Takuya

" Right! Plasma Lightning Axe! " Korikakumon threw his twin axe that were charged with MetalKabuerimon's electricity and they hit Lilithmon right on. She winced and stumbled back but the warriors were not finished just yet.

" Alright! And let us just add to it! WildFire Tsunami! "

" Dark Master! " JagerLoewemon leapt forward with a burst of dark energy torwards Lilithmon, the flames of BurningGreymon surrounded JagerLoewemon and he became a flaming lion. He swiftly charged torwards Lilithmon and with one quick pass, she was on her knees.

" Alright! Let's finish this! " shouted Angewomon, " Heaven's Charm! " As Angewomon launched her attack, everyone else joined in; combining their attacks with her Heaven's Charm. All of the attacks collided and hit Lilithmon dead on as she screamed in agony and bursted into a million specks of data. When the light from the attack died down, everyone collasped from exhaustion and de-digivolved back to their human self.

" You guys did it! " cheered Zoe as she came running torwards everyone.

" Yeah...we did it...but... " Amiko started, looking sadly over to Kouji's still limp body. Everyone seemed to get the message and also hung their heads in sorrow. The air around them became gloomy, Tommy began to cry silently but it seems to cause a chain reaction that made everyone cry. Amiko pulled her knees closer to her chest and silently let her tears run free; down her cheeks and drop onto the marble floor.Memories of what used to be flashed in everyone's mind, all of which reminded them of how they had come to meet Kouji and what he had done to them in the past. As everyone's tears fell onto the floor, a sudden light surrounded the whole room. Lilithmon's throne room vanished and all is left is a bright, white room that seems to be no where. The whole room was so white that the floor doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Everyone stood up in amazement and looked around their surroundings curiously.

" Where are we? " asked JP as his voice echoed faintly.

" You aren't exactly anywhere right now. " replied an angelic voice. JP glanced around as did everyone else until they located the source. Standing not too far away from the group was Angewomon.

" Hey, this is like the time we saw our own spirits before we left. " pointed out Tommy.

" Indeed. Though you've fought a great battle, I see we've lost a warrior... "Angewomon looked sadly over to Kouji, her expression filled with sorrow and pain. Amiko also looked down saddened but then another voice spoke up.

" You know, there is no need to be so sad. " Once again, everyone turned their attention to the newcomer and walking torwards them was Ophanimon herself.

" Ophanimon, what are you doing here? " asked Takuya, puzzled.

" To regain what you lost..." She replied, " Its not the first time I've conjured up a mircale and with Lilithmon gone, I have enough strength to do so. Everyone, focus your D-tectors and your spirit into a memory of Kouji. Something you'll always remember him for. " Everyone did as they were told and concentrated all their remaining energy and spirit. As they did, each D-tector lit up in their spirit's colour. The more they focused, the stronger the light grew and soon they lit up so brightly that the once white room turned into many colours. The different beam of lights shone for a while until their element symbol appeared, forming a circle with many other symbols and created a familiar bonding circle.

" Amiko, you're the only one who can help Kouji back to the light. You formed the bonding circle, you know what to do... " said Ophanimon as Angewomon nodded, urging her to go on. Amiko looked around nervously, she felt so pressured but the faces of her smiling friends soothed her and she gain the confidence to enter the circle that now surrounded Kouji and herself. She took a deep breath and walked onwards, she knelt down slowly beside Kouji who still remained motionless with lifeless sapphire blue eyes, no longer shining with life. Before she could bend over, Ophanimon's voice interupted.

" Amiko, you have to be willing and true to be able to bring back Kouji. Your love for him must be true.. " Amiko nodded, understanding what she must do but had doubts in her mind.

' How will I know if my love for him is true or not? I love him but is it really true? ' She shook her head, ' No Amiko, think positive...You love him, that's all that matters. And he knows that, there's no words that can describe our love... ' Bending down that her face almost touch his, she finally closed the gap between his lips and hers and kissed him softly. Everyone held their breathes for a moment, not knowing how the results will turn out but after a few seconds, Amiko parted for air and pulled back. Everyone stared intently if Kouji showed any signs of movements; none so far.

It was a few minutes after when everyone's hopes died down did Kouji's eyes start to regain their lively shine but still held a bit of mystery in them. Soon, he began to regain conscious and pull himself up to sitting. The room's atmosphere immediately changed as everyone rejoiced their friend's return. Amiko who was too happy for words, lunged at Kouji and embraced him in a hug. Kouji, slightly dazed, realizes who it is and hugged Amiko back, holding her close. Everyone else ran over to the two, Tommy had tears of joy slipping out every once in a while and everyone crowded and all gave one big group hug. (A/N: Awww GROUP HUG!!! X) )

" We're glad you're back buddy! " exclaimed Takuya, hugging the daylights out of Kouji.

" Ok ok ok...I get it, I feel the love! Now let go! You're choking me! " Takuya laughed and let go of Kouji who smiled in appreciation, knowing that he only did it because they were best buddies.

" Same old Kouji, I'm glad to have you back little brother with nothing different. " chuckled Kouichi who wiped away a few tears and gave his brother another hug.

" We thought we lost you for good... " said Tommy. Kouji smiled at Tommy and hugged him in a brotherly way, he really is everyone's little brother. Amiko smiled also, tears still brimming on the edge of her eyes. Kouji noticed her happy yet tearful look and smiled at her gently before pulling her into a hug which he held on for a long time. Amiko buried her head in his shoulder and hugged back.

" I'm glad you're back... "she whispered quietly.

" Me too..." She heard Kouji murmured. It was not long before the two celestial angels approached the group along with a familiar warrior of light(A/N: Guess who! XD).

" Lobomon? " everyone said in a unison. The said warrior chuckled at their reaction and stood beside Angewomon.

" Yeah its me. " He and Kouji made eye contact and they both smiled at each other.

" We are glad to have you back, the both of you. " Ophanimon said, referring to both Lobomon and Kouji, " I thank you all for restoring peace back to the digital world again...I can't thank you enough. "

" Nah, it was nothing really. The digital world is like a second home to us.. " replied Takuya with a grin.

" Yeah, we won't let anything bad happen to it. " added in Tommy. Angewomon and Ophanimon smiled at their comments, Angewomon was the next to speak.

" Amiko, you were a great help also. I'm glad that you were the one who found my spirit... " Amiko smiled.

" I guess this whole experience is one of the wildest adventure I ever had...In fact, I didn't think that this is all possible... "

" Anything is possible, you just have to believe... " said Angewomon but then her melodic voice changed into a sad tone, " Amiko, you've been a great help to us all and the digital world but...I'm afraid that you have to leave all of this to return to your home..." Amiko, struck with realization, hung her head slightly, knowing she might not be able to see her friends again. The thought sadden her as new tears of sadness began to form. Angewomon placed a hand on her shoulder in a comforting way but also noticed at that time, that she wasn't the only one who was sad about her departure. Takuya, JP, Tommy, Kouichi and Zoe all had a sorrowful face on.

" I'm sorry Amiko but you must go back to your home. "

" I know..." started Amiko, trying hard to keep her voice steady and looked up to Angewomon's face, " But will I ever see any of you again... " Angewomon facial expression softened as she hugged Amiko.

" Amiko, what have I told you? Anything is possible, if you just believe... Never give up hope that one day, our paths might cross again. " Amiko nodded and brushed away a falling tear that was streaking down her cheek. She turned to her friends and they all crowded around her just like they had done to Kouji and gave her one big group hug.

" I'm gonna miss you guys..."

" Just like we'll miss you..." replied Zoe who also had tears brimming her eyes.

" Hey, just think of it this way...its a 'see you later' not a 'good-bye.' " said Takuya, trying hard to smile through his sad eyes that did not deny the sadness in them.

" Yeah... " replied Amiko, also trying hard to smile through her tears. She individually gave each of her friends a hug while Angewomon, Ophanimon and Lobomon watched over on the side.

" Take care Amiko, we'll see each other again. I just know it. " said Kouichi as he hugged her.

" I hope we will..." When Amiko came to Kouji, who was the last person she wanted to say good-bye to, she and Kouji both moved forward at the same time and wrapped their arms around each other; Kouji's around Amiko's waist while Amiko had her arms around Kouji's neck. They both held onto each other tight as if they were to let go, the other would fade away.

" Just when I come back, you're the one that has to leave now... " he gently whispered.

" I know, I'm sorry... " Amiko replied, letting a few tears slip and soak into Kouji's sweater, " I'm scared because I don't want to lose you again...I'm scared I won't see you again... "

" Same as me...But I have a feeling we'll see each other...If we don't, you know you'll always have my heart... "

" And I'll always know that you'll have mine. " Amiko couldn't help but smile at his soothing words. They gently pulled back from each other only to lean in again in a soft kiss. Few minutes afterwards, they pulled back and hugged once more before Angewomon spoke up.

" Its time to leave..." Amiko nodded and reluctantly let go of Kouji and started torwards Angewomon. With one last look at her friends, Angewomon and Amiko disappeared into thin air. For Amiko though, everything soon went black.

When she came to, Amiko found herself opening her eyes as if she had just awoken from a deep sleep. Her mind began to register the familiarity of her room and soon she realized that she was back in her bed, still clothed in her PJ's.

She slowly sat up, looking as confused as ever. Was it all a dream? If so, then the events that happened were only a figment of her imagination. Sadden at the thought, something in the back of her mind and deep in her heart told her that it wasn't a dream. The feeling made her think otherwise and her mind was at a slight ease.

Amiko got up from her bed, headed torwards the bathroom to freshen up her look and came back out, not knowing what to do. Her mind settled on something she did almost everyday; log onto MSN. So she headed over to her computer, turned it on and did just that. But as she did so, the small screen box popped up moments later after the one that told her the number of email she still had unread in her mailbox. A new contact had been recently added but Amiko didn't have the memory of ever adding someone recent. The new contact started a conversation with her which resulted to her opening up a new convo. box. As she read the messages that had been sent, Amiko couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise and blink many times to see if what she was seeing is true. For the 3rd time she glanced at the screen, the same message was still there:

Amiko?

It's me...

Kouji..
