Disclaimer: I don’t own Digimon, nor will I probably ever. Don’t flame me or anything if you don’t like how your favorite character doesn’t have much or any lines in this or anything = this is a T.K. ‘fic, and it is supposed to introduce me to the fans of Digimon fanfics.

The Legacy Part 1: Betrayal By Brother

........T.K. looked in confusion as his older brother hugged the new boy real hard. He didn’t know why Matt had called this person, who T.K. honestly didn’t ever remember meeting before, “brother.”
........“Hey Matt, who is he?” T.K. asked his older brother.
........Yamato Ishida wiped tears of wonderment from his eyes are he turned to face his little brother. “T.K.,” he said in a shaky voice, “This is your older brother; my twin brother.”
........The Digidestined and their parents were dumbfounded. They had never knew that Matt had a twin. Furthermore, this boy didn’t look anything like Matt. Except, of course, for those piercing ice-blue eyes… “Whoa…” Tai said distantly. “Hey Matt, since when do you have a twin?”
........Matt frowned. “You don’t believe me, do you?” Matt looked accusingly at the rest of the Digidestined. “None of you believe me, do you?”
........“Jeez, calm down, Matt.” Joe whined. “We didn’t mean anything like that.”
........Matt just stared back at Joe until the older boy gave into defeat. The new boy walked forward. It was then that everyone noticed a long, jagged scar running from his chin to underneath his earlobe. The tough-looking young man bowed respectfully to the other Digidestined and their parents. He turned toward T.K.
........“T.K…”, he said in a voice that was so filled with longing and pain that it frightened the little boy. Matt’s twin knelt down in front of T.K.
........“It’s been seven long years since I last saw you, so I honestly don’t expect you to remember me… You were only two when you last saw me.” T.K. looked bravely into those twin pools of tormented ice-blue. Then the little boy asked the one question that he had wanted to ask for a good ten minutes now.
........“Who are you?”
........Matt’s twin laughed, but it wasn’t the tough, uncaring laugh that many street kids had: it was a warm, inviting laugh that held brotherly love and joy in its syllables.
........“T.K., I’m your other brother. My name is Chris Ryan Ishida.”
........T.K. looked up at his new-found brother. “I think I do remember you…” he said.
........Chris stiffened. “You do?”
........“Yes,” T.K. said. “But I’m not sure where…” Suddenly T.K.’s eyes grew wide with terror and fear. He backed away from Chris and then ran full out in terror to his mother. Chris stood up, an unpleasant expression playing across his face.
........“Mom! Don’t let him hurt me, please!” T.K. cried into his mother’s pant leg.
........“T.K. I won’t hurt you…” Chris began.
........T.K. was so angry that this boy who claimed to be his big brother was lying to him. “Yes you will! I know you will! You’ll hurt me and Mom and Matt just like you did to Daddy!”
........Matt ran over to his brother. “T.K., why is it that you only remember when Chris attacked Dad?”
........T.K. was downright terrified now. Matt had never yelled at him before. “T.K…” Chris said. “I did to Dad what I needed to do. He was going to hurt you and Mom and he had already hurt Matt really bad. Don’t you remember Matt lying in the middle of all that glass? That’s what Dad did to him. Dad, not me; never me. I swear it, Oniichan!”
........T.K. cried out, “I don’t believe you!”
........Those words hurt more than anything that Chris had endured during his seven-year exile. Suddenly he turned and ran back into the dark alleyway, back to the dregs of society.
........“No, Chris wait!” Matt yelled. “He didn’t mean it…”
........Too late, Chris had already disappeared again, back to the darkness from which he came.
........“Oniichan…” Matt said as he did something that only Tai had ever seen him do.
........He cried.
