[Kioshi Wakami]

Okay my post is fixed.

Jun Wakami [Is getting annoying]
------

So the slime was dangerous. I gasped as the goo crawled up my legs and hardened them in place. Things weren't looking up for me at all. I growled a bit and shot some electricity bolts at the growing mucus, causing it to shatter off my legs. Quickly I spun around and noticed the little girl was incased in the hardened slime as well.

"Kuso.. what the hell is this thing!?" I shouted. David ordered us to keep fighting so I did. I shot the digimon again, not harming it since my electricity didn't have any effect on the da*n digimon at all. It just made it explode and it'd simply reform itself. However, I'm sure it got annoying after awhile.

My heart fluttered and my head swam as drowsyness overcame me. This was too much work when one hadn't slept all that much. I kept going after the digimon, making it burst and take a few minutes to reform itself so others could focus on the teen.

"Laura help David! Sataoshi and everyone else, go after that clown guy! It won't stop unless he is gone anyways!!" I shouted an order, jumping out of the way of another slime ball as the digimon managed to come back together. I growled and bolted it again, hitting it's head and caused it to splatter on the ground. This happened over and over again, and after awhile I was able to just stand there and wait for it to somewhat reform before blasting it again into a million green splatters.

Hey number 240

Doctor Cigil
-----------------------------
I walked along with Satoshi's mother for a few more minutes, when a sound drew my attention back to my patients room. I ran back to the room with Akira right on my heels, and threw open the door. Laura's body was convulsing, flopping around the bed like a dead fish, she made a gagging sound from her mouth like there was something stuck in it, and her monitor showed that she had gone flat line.

"What the.." I began rushing over to her and calling several doctors over, she wasn't getting any air in, but that was impossible nothing was obstructing her air ways.

"We need you to leave ma'am" One of the doctors said to Akira as the shuffled her out of the room, I glanced back at her as they shut the door and then turned back to my patient. Quickly I grabbed a breathing mask, placed it over her face, and ran a tube down her throat, it was a temporary solution, but if she doesnt start breathing soon, I would have a whole new set of problems on my hands.

~*~*~*~*~*~
One moment I saw the slime over take me, the next I started hearing it crack while green vines creeped all around me. I struggled against the slime bonds that held me, and finally the casing shattered allowing me to get out, gagging I ripped off the vines and placed a hand over my mouth as I ran for the fountain.

I almost tripped over the slime and the fountain as I tossed my head over and puked over and over again until that retched slime was out of my throat, coughing a few more times I finally sighed and slumped over the fountain.

"It's going to be okay" I heard some one say, who ever it was placed a comforting hand on my back and slowly turned me over so that I was laying on the fountain. I opened one of my eyes and groaned, everything was all swirly with dots flashing in and out of my vision.

"Satoshi" I moaned trying to get up but who ever it was kept me pressed against the fountain. "No, he could be in trouble I need to help him" I struggled as my vision finally cleared, off to my side I could see Kenichi and the rest taking on a badly beaten Digimon, that slimemon thing it had to be the one they were fighting, the ground all around it was destroyed like a earthquake hit it, and they looked like they had began to move in for the kill.

"Everything's going to be fine" The voice soften, I struggled to focus on the person above me, he finally came into focus, and the last person in the world I thought would be there was standing over me. "Satoshi" I moaned, letting my body relax a little.

"Hey, thanks for saving me back there...you know this green look doesnt look that bad on you" Satoshi said reaching up to move a slimey green strand of hair out of my face. I smiled and almost laughed at the whole situation, I could never keep my self clean in the Digital world, and now I must look worce than ever.

"Hey, what are little sister's for I guess" I replied to him, coughing up a little bit of slime, slowly almost trembling I reached up with my left hand and stroked his cheek with it. He reached up with his own hand, and I almost expected him to move my hand away, but instead he softly wraped his arms around my hand and closed his eyes, when he opened them again, I could see that he was almost crying.

"I..I could of gotten you killed back there" He said, struggling not to cry.

"Hey, you didnt,you should know by now that I can make it through anything" I said, reaching my other hand up I brushed some of his tears away, but he just shook his head and I moved my hand away.

"No, one of these days, I'm going to get you killed, I dont want that, I dont want you getting hurt becuase I wasn't there to stop some one, or becuase you were trying to save me" He replied taking my hand off of his face and placing it back on the fountain.

"I'm..sorry" He finally said and walked off toward Kenichi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ground was cracked and broken from my earthquake, and moving was hard enough. It had disrupted the flow of the battle somewhat, making everyone choose where they went carefully. Sweat had begun to creep around my form, as through the course of the battle I had to swerve, dodge, and drop to the ground at a moment's notice or else I would be slapped with green goo or a whip from the clown faced guy. This was not a good day for rest...

"Laura help David! Sataoshi and everyone else, go after that clown guy! It won't stop unless he is gone anyways!!" Jun shouted.

I snorted inwardly. I wasn't one to obey orders usually, but he had a point. That digimon seemed to be invincible, at least at the level where our attacks were concerned. At least the human joker was well... Human. He could be brought down.

"Hey, over here clown-face!" I shouted at the boy, trying to get his attention. I got his attention and then some as he turned to smirk at me. A high pitched cackle erupted from his throat, as his gaze became wide and sharp. Snapping his wrist delicately, a vine covered in jagged vines hurtled towards me. Reflexively I dropped down to the ground, letting the lines of green swipe where I had just been.

From my position on the ground, I saw the casing around Laura crack, and Satoshi get her out to the fountain. This took one bit of weight off of my mind, the little girl out of danger. Now all that was left were these jokers.

Standing up, another set of whips came at me. This time I ignored my reflexes, and brought up my two craggy arms. This time, the whips wrapped arcross my arms. The thorns did not penetrate the whips, however, and the clown infront of me gave me a startled look as he realized both of his hands were now occupied with this tug of war.

"Gai's grip!" I shouted, as new rock covered the vines on my arms. The whips were now thoroughly stuck against my being, as I pulled with all my might. He tripped from the sidelines, a clear look of hatred on his face.

Kenichi! Rigiamon said in my head. I have observed that it is only the D-Sense in that boy's possesion that is keeping Slimemon in champion mode! If we use our D-Senses to block that signal, he will go back to being the disgusting rookie I created!

I nodded, and continued to move around to stop the clown from getting up.

"Guys, Rigiamon says if we use our D-Senses on Slimemon, he won't be able to stay in champion mode! He'll be vunerable!" I shouted, throwing up my arms as the clown tripped on a patch of upturned road. "I'll keep his partner busy with a little tug of war until then!"

"Guys, Rigiamon says if we use our D-Senses on Slimemon, he won't be able to stay in champion mode! He'll be vunerable!" I heard Kenichi say, as he threw up his vine-wrapped arms, causing the insane guy to trip due to a crack in the upturned road, "I'll keep his partner busywere with a little tug-of-war until then!"

I nodded to that response, but I felt confused in thought....How could we use our D-Senses to stop him? Sighing, I looked down at my D-Sense, then to Arwen, maybe I could help if she could digivolve to KooriNekomon. Pulling it out, I recreated the pentaccle from our first battle with Quetzalmon, trying to remember what I said before she digivolved last time.

"May the power of the Koori return to my side!" I shouted, raising my D-Sense, "Digivolution activate!" The D-Sense's screen flashed a bright white color, as Arwen was enveloped in a silvery white light.

"Yukimon....Digivolve to....KooriNekomon!" Arwen said, the light fading to reveal the large, leopard-like digimon at the champion level. Arwen nodded to me, as I leapt on her back.

"Until we can figure out how to use the D-Sense to weaken Slimemon, I'll fight off what slime I can!" I announced to them, as Arwen dashed around Slimemon, trying to figure out where the slime was originating from, Kouji kept trying to fight off the clown-face along with Kenichi, yet it seemed rather confusing. My ice katana glided across the slime trails hurdling towards any of the chosen children, as Arwen stopped, about to use her main attack.

"Spirit of Capricorn!" She shouted, emitting a beam of ice from her mouth towards Slimemon. Yet, unfortunately, the attack just bounced right off him, heading back towards me, and I had to dodge it, yet it still struck my hair.

"He's too strong...." I told Arwen rather sorrowfully and nervously, still quiet. I grew faithless right then, it was no use, we'd probably be killed by the two....

Satoshi Takinowa[It wouldn't be a Christmas without you.]

Laura's(older) hair got frozen from the deflected Ice Attack. I made sure the younger Laura was ok, she was still near the fountain.

'Guys, Rigiamon says if we use our D-Senses on Slimemon, he won't be able to stay in champion mode! He'll be vunerable!'Kenichi's voice echoed in my thought's..What did he mean by that exactly?I kept on thinking as I looked at the male, and kept catching my breath. I could feel my body tired and my sword getting heavier. This had to end fast.

I looked at my D-Sense, looking to see if there was another button to press....I felt it vibrating lightly, like it was a ticking time bomb or something..

Then, the device glew. The rim glew gold as the base glew silver.It's light hypnotized me to place it forward. I got weird stares from the others, but some of them joined in.The light formed a box around the Slimemon, and you heared a little wurring noise coming from it's Poorly-dressed Master.


(Gah..stupid writers block.I'll write more later.)

~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenichi told me what to do and I just looked at my D-thingie, what could it do and should we really be doing this? I mean were killing off this person's digimon, and oh man do I feel icky. I began to struggle to get up but I still had problems trying to get my legs to move right, plus add to the fact that Satoshi had dug his knee into my stomach while he was trying to help me, but I would never tell him that.

"Ugh" I groaned rising up to try and do what every one else was doing and help bring down the slime Digimon. I began to rise my D-thingie up into the air when I felt a sharp pain from where Satoshi had placed his knee, and I colapsed, trying to gasp for breath.

"Here, let me help you" Satoshi's comforting voice said, he placed one strong hand around my waste, and I supported myself against his body, I closed my eyes and felt so at peace, I wanted to stay there in his grip and pretend that we werent here in this evil place.

"Laura, your D-Sense " He reminded me which brought me out of my daze.

"Oh right" I smiled up at him and rose my hand up to join his, allowing the light to pulse from it and join the others.

"Satoshi?" I asked leaning against him, he looked at me waiting for what I was going to say, I closed my eyes again, and leaned against him. "Can you just hold me?" I asked.

I watched the chaos all around me. Arkana and his Digimon fought wonderfully together. Every movement vibrated in the air. I felt warm inside.

Then, Kenichi gave the order.

"...use our D-Senses on Slimemon, he won't be able to stay in champion mode! He'll be vulnerable!"

All this power, on a rookie? He wouldn't be just vulnerable. He'd be dead. But what of the boy...? Would they kill him in their rage as well?

I watched there movements, etching every millimeter into my memories. If they would kill this boy so easily... It could be my fate as well.

I took out my D-Sense and examined it out of the corner of my eye. I was glad, for once, of my morning hair. It covered my face. Had Arkana recognized me... It was not time for that yet. In my hand, the D-Sense vibrated softly.

"Use your D-Sense," a thought crept upon my mind, whispered in my ear. "It will nullify their's, help his."

I stared ahead, blankly. I pocketed my D-Sense, pushing it to the very bottom.

"Aunyailia!" Kenichi yelled for my attention. I turned my head slightly to his direction. Everyone was concentrating on their D-Senses, some using them. "Help us, use your D-Sense like I said!" I shook my head visibly. He did a bit of a double-take. Even the younger Laura glanced in my direction. "What?"

"If you trust me," I answered clearly, sadly. "I won't have to answer that question."

Excuses fled my mind. I couldn't risk killing the Digimon... Something was wrong, it wasn't their fault...

I took a few steps back, into the shadows of the hotel building. Inside, I watched pitifully. I made careful note to watch their movements. In my outward appearance, I tried to send everyone strength and words of encouragement. My face was full of hope, hope that the good guys would win.

But, perhaps, in this battle... my possible fate would be sealed.

[Mystic_clown]

Arkana
--------------------------------
"Let go!" I snarled as I tried to get my whip from that kid. All of a sudden, there was a bright light and a box of light appeared around Slimemon.
"What's happening?" I cried. My D-sense began to hum and suddenly, Slimemon de-digivolved back to Jammon.
"Alright!" the kid said, pumping the air, "It worked!" My jaw dropped.
This was planned out from the begining!?
"Come on guys!" the kid callde, "He's vulnerable! Attack!" Their digimon fired all their attacks at once! I couldn't let Jammon get blown to bits! I'd miss the little guy! Plus I didn't have anyone else to boss around.
"Jamm Defender!!" I cried. A mini Jammon appeared in front of the original.
"What the!?" one of the girls cried. The Jamm Defender blocked their attack. Jammon floated to my side.
"You saved me sir," he said.
"Don't get used to it," I replied. I then looked back at the kids.
"You may have won this round!" I snarled, "But this isn't the last you've heard of the great Arkana!!" I threw a smoke bomb into the ground and it exploded, allowing us to escape.
I'll get those brats! I'll make sure they pay!

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You may have won this round!" the clown snarled, "But this isn't the last you've heard of the great Arkana!!" The smokebomb the hit the ground, and the two moved as one away from the group...

To my dismay, the fool hadn't let go of the whips. With one smooth movement, I found myself lifted right off my feet. Tripping like Arkana had done when I had been the one leading him, I felt myself dragged down the cracked road.

"Let go of that whip you idiot!" I cried. A form dropped down from a nearby building, and cut the vine that connected me to the renegade fool. It was a bit late however, as I felt myself connect with a lampost.

I seemingly stopped at the lamp post, both my legs and arms shoved in a forward position while my body hung on the metal pole. Slowly, my body slid down it, and I landed on my back. A dazed expression came across my face, as I saw Rigiamon's concerned face look down at me from above.

"Are you alright Kenichi?" He said.

I nodded in a daze, a goofy expression plastered across my face. "Yup, as soon as the world stops spinning, I think I might be ok..."

"Kenichi?" I heard another voice next to me. My eyes took a second to adjust, then I saw it was Auny. My smile was still plastered to my face, I was out of it for the moment.

"Well, at least its over now..." I said, as Auny helped me up from the street. The world spun in a very unstable manner beneath my feet. Rigiamon moved off towards Laura and Satoshi, while Auny kept me upright. Her face displayed worry at my condition, and I felt better for it.

"Are you sure you're alright, Kenichi?" she whispered, leaning in close to my face, checking all the same to make sure I was ok.

"Yes, I think I just need to be on my feet for awhile..." I sputtered out, looking right into Auny's eyes. Time seemed to convulse with the beating of my heart at that moment, and her face seemed all the more closer. "Thanks for helping me out here..."

"No, I want to help you..." She said, her voice becoming quieter if anything. Then, she got closer to me and we kissed. Our lips softly connected, and I felt a charge run through my body, dispelling a greater portion of my lethargy. It seemed to last for a few minutes, unlike the few seconds it actually lasted. When we parted from each other, I noticed she was wearing her own dazed expression, a blush evident on her face. I no doubt mirrored it myself...

The others were still recovering from the aftermath in the battle, and I could not be sure that anybody had seen it. I had not idea what had taken over me at that moment... But I had enjoyed it. This is a very new feeling... I thought to myself...

Rigiamon- (clean-up crew)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaving Kenichi to Aunyailia, I shook my head inwardly. I could see the feelings between them grow, but I could not be sure if this was a good development. On one hand, it would be easier to examine the girl with my partner close to her. On the other hand, I would have to be much quieter about my investigation... And the little blip of information I had caught from her D-Sense. I could not be sure of what it was yet, but if I observed her for long enough...

Keeping to the task on hand, I approached Laura and Satoshi. Both looked worse for wear from the battle, Laura still covered in pieces of the digimon Slimemon. I could detect its data on the ground and in the fountain as well. Most excellent development...

Raising all four arms in the air, I screamed loudly. The group looked at me at once in astonishment, as the wind around the area picked up. I continued screaming, as bits of slime lifted up off the ground, and collided with my form. Laura's eyes widened as the hardened slime from her own body lifted up of its own accord, and hurled itself at me.

A plume of water also arose from the fountain, as the remants left there also hurled towards me. Piece by piece, the data from Slimemon was absorbed into my skin, my defences quickly analyzing the parts I needed and incorporating them into my system. Pieces of Rimon, the digimon I had been sang in joy as they were rejoined with my original code.

With a blast of dark energy, a cloud of black covered my form briefly. Four black wings made of smoke emerged from my back, and my eyes glowed a red that leaked into the air above me. My muscles bulged, and my power expanded, instantly vaporizing the concrete beneath me. Satoshi and Laura looked at me in horror... Then it was over.

With a hiss, the smoke vanished, and I returned to my Rigiamon form. The dark energy no longer clouded my being, and I bowed low to the both of them.

"Thank you for your assistance in retrieving some of my code. I believe I will fetch the group's bags now."

I leapt high into the air, and dissapeared into the hotel's windows...

[Kioshi Wakami]

Jun Wakami
------


I groaned a bit, the battle finally over. It seemed like we couldn't get away from a fight at all. Was being humans in this Digital World really that bad? No... the clown-face was a human too, atleast I thought he was. He could've been a digimon himself, but what would explain the D-Sense?

My thoughts were interrupted as the left over speckles of slime from my legs and the ground around me was pulled off and hurtled towards Kenichi's digimon. It was a rather awing display and it ended almost as soon as it began (OOC: How long did it actually take? o.o). My body was weary, still from the lack of sleep.

Quietly I walked towards the older Laura and looked over her carefully.

"You okay? That's a pretty nice katana you have there..." I stated, pointing out the sword carved out of ice.

"Yeah..." Her eyes looked away from me and towards the ground. I looked a bit puzzled by this, but brushed it off. She was still probably shy or withdrawn from everyone and me. The thought almost casted a frown upon my face, but only reflected in my eyes.

"If you have any wounds I have the aid kit back in the room. I can bandage you up there." I stated too softly. And with a glance, I tried to find David, and without a real known reason why, I wanted to know if he was okay too.

[Gladiator]

David
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I looked at the carnage around me, the thoughts of lawsuits running through my head.

"Um," I said, "Guys, I'm not comfortable standing in a street that looks like it went through a mini-earthquake. I think we should vamoose before there's a lawsuit on our butts."

I looked over at Kenichi, who nodded in the affirmative. We scampered off back to the hotel area. Jun was speaking to the hotel peson as I began pressing buttons.

"God, let's just hope Morrigan hasn't woken up before we get back," I muttered, "I don't think she'd..."

"...like it if she were left alone?" the elevator doors opened to reveal Morrigan, stoic-faced, holding the majority of everyone's stuff. She was almost completely covered in various bags. I looked on in horror, this was bad.

"Uh," I said, "Morgan, what are you going to do?"

I began to back away so that Morrigan could get out of the lift. This turned out to be a big mistake as all of the bags she had hit the floor and her hands began to reach for me.

"Oh, crap," I said, "Morgan, DON'T!"

It happened too fast for me to tell you what happened, but now I was dangling from the lobby chandelier. It wouldn't have been too bad if it weren't for several other things as well. I was currently looking down on Laura, Satoshi, and Kenichi, who were just staring in mild surprise.

"I can't believe she managed to get you up there," wide-eyed Satoshi said.

"I can't believe she could give him a wedgie, and THEN hang him up there by his pants," Kenichi said, slightly impressed.

"Do you guys mind?" I said, paralyzed by pain "I'm in some serious physical pain..."

[Roy Karrde]

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~
I stood open mouth in shock and suprise, that was one heck of a throw to get some one that far up. Now the problem came on how to get him down, but I doubt I would be much help doing that so I began to wonder away from Satoshi's side over to the flyers for the towns near the area.

"Here maybe we can get him down with these" Satoshi suggested handing one of two large metal poles to Kenichi, each began to take rounds in trying to get David down, yet it looked more like they were children hitting a pianta.

I represed a laugh and turned back to the flyers, which I was flipping through finally landing on one that said "Primary Town" it looked like a really cute town with all these cute baby digimon hopping around every where.

"Oh, Kari, Morrigan, Laura, look at this" I pointed out showing the other girls the flyer, I would have asked Auny but she seemed to....well she seemed to busy with her new boyfriend. I continued to flip through the book with them, each of us pointing out the pictures with the cute baby digimon in them. We were all almost through with the book, when a large banging sound was heard, followed by the sound of a body hitting the ground.

"Got him down" Satoshi announced, we all looked at him for a second and then turned back to the book.

Alpha Magnetmon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Master Satoshi can I have a moment of your time?" I asked him, my joints still hurt and I could swear I was still covered in slime and who knew how long it would take to get all of that out.

"Yeah" The boy replied placing the pole back up, I handed him his back pack carefully which he quickly thanked me for.

" I just wanted to know, that I came online, in a very wierd situation, but at that time you seemed very happy and the bio scan I took of you two seemed to regester the same. Yet in the last few days neither you or mistress Laura have been very happy except for the last hour or so when you showed affection for her, now can you tell me what is wrong?" I asked, I really was truely puzzled, this "kiss" that the humans talked about seemed to relax them and bring them into a very healthy state yet it seemed to also bring them into a very dangerous and unhealthy state the hours following it.

"It's kindof complicated" Satoshi replied rubbing the side of his head, he was obviously confused or was trying to figure out how to explain it.

"I'll never understand you teenagers" I sighed and began to walk off as Satoshi slung his backpack over his shoulders. "Oh Master Satoshi, please be careful with that there is something breakable in there that I doubt Mistress Laura wants broken" I warned him.

[Haruko]

I've been sick lately. My tonsils are swollen and red, and I've been coughing up nose-dwellers(burgers...ewww) ever since.

Satoshi Takinowa[Hey!!There's no candy in this Pinata!!;( ]

"Oh Master Satoshi, please be careful with that there is something breakable in there that I doubt Mistress Laura wants broken"Alpha Magnetmon warned me, and walked off once more. I took my backpack off my shoulders, and looked at it slightly. I slowly placed it back on my back. I decided to follow Alpha's advice, but I was going to look in my backpack later.

"You ok,David?"I walked over to his body on the ground, and said. I smiled briefly, and offered my hand to pull him up,"That was kind of funny"

"It's not funny when it hurts."He muttered, fixing his undies, which were set in super-wedgie mode, and his pants,which were about in the same status as his undies. I smiled a little more, and walked off..

'Wonder what they are up to.'I thought, looking over at the girls.They all were looking at some strange book or something,but they were all together...

Auny was with Kenichi, David was regathering himself, and Jun was busy talking to the digimon behind the hotel desk. I sighed breifly, and found Hawkmon leaning besides the door.I walked over to him, and placed my backpack softly next to him, and sat down.



Sorry..My fountain of Ideas right now, has dried up.Might be because I need soda.

I watched them use long metal poles to get David down from the chandelier. I felt slight pity for David. But mostly, I felt amused... It was pretty funny. Especially what they were doing to get him down. The classic piñata technique. Half of me wanted a piece of the action, but, unfortunately, there would be no candy reward. And my arms, unlike the rest of my body, were tired.

I felt strange... what happened... It was, as they say, in the moment. I hadn't had time to prepare. Of course, would I have ever been prepared? I also felt very strange... whenever I saw him, I felt lighter, and like I was on some sort of high. Also, lately, very giggly. These feelings had never been so strong before. What did they mean?

Amidst my thoughts, Kenichi walked over to me. I half-jumped.

"Salut," I stammered, grinning slightly.

Giggly again. Stuponfucious.

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I smiled a bit back at Auny, unsure of what to do. Truth to be told, the amazing wedgie pinata boy had given me a few minutes (however entertaining it was) where the kiss had been shoved to the back of my head. Now it had come around again and had begun to dominate my thoughts. The memory became vivid in my mind, as did thoughts I had never had before...

I ended up unconsciously scratching the back of my head, my smile having grown larger. I stared into her eyes, the warm feeling the kiss had given me had returned. This felt oddly comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time.

"Hi Auny," I said to her, keeping my smile plastered to my face. "Looks like we finally managed to get David down, I don't suspect he'll have any permanent injuries from it."

Auny giggled at the comment. "Yup, Morgan seems to be pretty strong for someone her size..."

I took a deep breath in. "About that kiss Auny..."

She looked at me, a hint of anxiety on her face.

"I... really liked it," I ended. The look of anxiety was replaced with a blush. She shifted from foot to foot, and looked down towards the ground.

"I... liked it a lot too..." She said her voice quiet in the lobby.

Something within me seemed to leap at this answer, a weight I hadn't realized that had been present since the kiss vanished, replaced by thoughts. Things were interupted as Rigiamon came down the main staircase, the remaining bags and items the group had left bundled neatly into his arms. Silent as a ghost, he strode with an unnerving speed to deposit each bag by its owner. He put down my backpack by my feet, then looked sideways at Auny, then back to me.

As he turned his back to me, I could have sworn he winked...

"It's time for us to leave this town, it is no longer safe for us," Rigiamon said calmly. "The next place we are heading is Primary Village. It is the utmost priority that more of you have partners, and this should solve the problem somewhat."

"Problem is," Jun interrupted as he came from the managers desk. "These digimon want an awful lot of money for the damages we caused outside... I don't think we can leave without working for them for quite some time, or finding some way to make some more money."

Rigiamon stared at him for a moment, then nodded. "If you would wait here for a moment, I will speak to the manager to sort this out in a productive manner."

I saw Hawkmon wince visibly at this, as Rigiamon approached the manager's desk. He nodded his head once at the digimon behind the counter, an ogre type Sharmamon, then pointed towards the door behind the counter. The green faced digimon nodded as well, and the two of them dissapeared behind the wooden door. It took less than a minute for it to open once more, the green face of Sharmamon now very pale. His eyes kept on darting back to Rigiamon as my digimon walked calmly out of the room. With a gulp, he stuck his thumb into his mouth, and ran back into the room.

"Problem solved, he does not want any money. We will be going," Rigiamon said to the group, then added a small edge to it, "Now."

We all responded well to the words, everyone up and off their feet. As a group, we moved out of the hotel, and back onto the ruined street. With Rigiamon in lead, Auny, Satoshi, and Laura ahead of me, we began to move in the direction of Primary Village. The rest of the group was spread out, and I noticed David wincing as he walked.

"Hey Kenichi," a voice whispered next to me. I turned to see Auny now walking next to me. I felt a pressure in my hand, and was surprised to see her holding it, a look of redness on her cheeks. I smiled in response, as the road moved on...

[Roy Karrde]

For everyone that's in collage Happy winter break and good luck for those who still have finals.

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~
Satoshi, Auny, and I continued to walk in silence toward the new town, and then Auny decided to drop back to her boy friend which left Satoshi and I to lead the group. I wanted to say something to him, but every time I opened my mouth I just couldnt find the right things to say so I just closed it again.

After a few more minutes of walking in silence I turned to see Auny and Kenichi holding hands, the were getting really close to each other, every few steps it seemed that either Auny or Kenichi would lean over and wisper something to the other, and he or she would start giggling. Behind that I noticed Laura and Jun trade looks at each other from a distance, they all seemed so happy being with close friend.

I began to feel tears well up in my eyes, and I tried to keep them down I wasnt going to cry I wasnt going to cry. It just wasnt fair, just yesterday every one of them had looked at me and Satoshi like we were some kind of fungus or something aweful when we were holding hands, and now, and now they were doing the same thing it just wasnt fair. It just wasnt fair, I had been nice to every one and even defended Auny when no one else would, even when Kenichi hated her and now and now she was all happy with her new boy friend and all I had was Satoshi who seemed to like me for a second and then hate me the next.

I wiped the tears away from my eyes and looked around to see if any one had saw me crying, that's when I noticed Satoshi looking at me, he looked at me with a warm loving look, not one of hatred or sadness but of happiness. He then looked behind his shoulder to see what I was crying and about and finally turned back around.

"Come here" He said softly and placed a arm around me and pulled me closer to him, I lightly reached over and interlocked my fingers around his while he kept that protective arm around my back, and I just sobbed lightly into his shirt becuase I was tired, and hungry, and had the taste of slime in my mouth, and just wanted to go home.

Roy ( 5 Years Ago )
------------------------------------
"Hey Akira" I said rubbing the back of my neck, I tried to balance the phone on my shoulder, while I kept a eye out for Sarah, and well I had to make it look like I was really studying Laura's art project so that she would be happy that I looked at it.

"Roy, I haven't heard from you in years, where have you been, what's.." Akira replied in a some what panicy voice, in the back ground it sounded like at ten year old boy who didnt want to do his spelling words was throwing a fit.

"I cant talk for long Akira, I just cant get in contact with Ashieyu or Kioshi, and well I need one of you guys to promise me something" I sighed placing my head against the wall, Laura sencing my distress came up to my side and asked what was wrong, I placed a arm around her and prepared myself to tell Akira the hardest part.

"Akira, I got this feeling, I dont know who but I dont think I will be around for much longer, And well I want you to take custody of my daughter" I sighed, Akira went silent and I began to rub my forehead, I would never want Laura to stay with Sarah, if Sarah was trying something...she might hurt Laura and I wouldnt be around to protect her.

"Roy, I..." Akira began when the sound of another found being picked up came over the line and a very angry voice joined in.

"Mom when are you getting off" The boy yelled over the phone line, the sudden change in town almost made me jump, I was about to say something when some one else joined in on the convosation.

"Look daddy I'm on the phone" Laura said over the phone line, I almost supressed a laugh, and tried to look around to see which of the other phones she was on. If Sarah found out what I was doing, she would make sure that she got cusdoty of Laura and well, I shuddered at the thought.

"Who's this?" The boy asked over the phone line, what was supposed to be a secret convosation between two people was quickly becoming a group discussion.

"Laura, who are you?" Laura replied in her shy tone. I leaned around the corner to see her in my room, using the phone and twisting the cord around her fingers.

"I'm Satoshi, and mom I need your help on my homework" The boy I guess Satoshi replied in a very angry voice. So Akira had a kid too, I wonder if her and Gali, naw.

"Akira, I'm going to let you go, please if something were to happen to me, just....just please take care of Laura" I sighed, I didnt want Sarah to find out where Laura would end up if I were to die, heck I didnt want her within a hundread miles of my daughter.

"Roy..I..I dont know, call me back tomarrow, and we'll try and work something out" Akira replied, I agreed to call her back and we all hung up the phones. I slid down the wall and put my head in my hands and began to cry. That was it, everything was taken care of atleast Laura would be okay.

"Daddy are you okay?" Laura asked nudging my side, I just wrapped my arms around her and finally wiped the tears away from my eyes.

"Yeah everything is okay, how did you like that Satoshi kid?" I asked her, Laura made a wrinkled face in responce to the question.

"He's too mean, he needs to be nice" Laura said waving her finger at the air as if Satoshi was standing right there.

"Well what would you think about meeting him so day, maybe staying over at his house for a while" I asked rubbing the swelling pain coming from the pit of my stomach.

"I dunno" Laura said shaking her head. "He's a meanie and I dont like being friends with meanies they like to hurt people, besides I want to stay with you daddy" She said finally throwing her arms around my neck.

"Yeah I want to stay with you too honey" I winced as the pain in my stomach seemed to get a little bit worce.

[Gladiator]

Morrigan (Because David has stolen the spotlight)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morrigan was flanking the group's left side. She was weary, though she had no idea as to why.

"Hey, lovebirds," she called out to Aunie and Kenichi, ruining whatever moment they had. She ignored the looks they gave him and proceded to talk, "What was going on back there, you guys look tired?"

From them, Morgan learned about the whole fight with the obnoxious Arkana. Morrigan cursed her luck, having missed out on a good brawl.

"miserable little...I oughta...," David was rather audibly mumbling to himself (How does that work?). Morrigan could only assume he was plotting his sinister revenge. Kenichi could only look at him like David was some wierd green thing.

"What was that..." he began, but was cut off by Morgan.

"That would be David plotting against us," she simply stated. Kenichi was now giving her the strange look.

"Us? You're the one..."

"Yeah, well, I don't think he appreciates being knocked about like a pinata with metal rods," she countered. If there was thing she was good at, it was being stubborn. Something she inherited from her father, "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to introduce myself to the unfamiliar folk."

She walked away from the two lovebirds and walked up to someone else.

It was a girl, whom somehow looked familiar to Morrigan. Her ash-to-fire eyes, the pattern on her clothes, indeed, her very demeanor looked familiar to her, but the familiarity was slightly vague. It was something she couldn't quite understand.

"Excuse me," Morrigan broke the ice, "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

[Haruko]

Please be patient at this time, but I,right now..probably have the flu(meaning as well, people have been getting it a lot lately. I'm suprised I'm the first one in my house hold to actually get it.). I 100% promise to post tomorrow after I come home from the doctors. I want to know what I exactly have before I post..And for the fact that I have to think about what I will actually post. If I get back on tonite, I'll Post.

[Toxicity]

Sorry I was gone...being grounded stinks....@_@;;

~*^*~Laura Rider - Ice["In a momory, you'll find me, eyes burning up. The darkness is holding me tightly, until the sun rises up...." from "Forgotten" by Linkin Park]~*^*~
After the so-called 'Great Arkana'(great....my a**) had fled the battle scene and Arwen de-digivolving back to Yukimon, apparently Jun approached me in awe, looking at the katana in my hands.

"You okay?" He asked, soon pointing to my katana of ice, "That's a pretty nice katana you have there..."

"Yeah..." I replied shyly, my eyes somewhat looking away from him and then towards the ground. I couldn't help but remain withdrawn, because I had feelings that deep down, they all have something against me.

"If you have any wounds I have the aid kit back in the room. I can bandage you up there...." He stated, probably a bit too softly. With just one more glance, Jun was trying to find somebody...probably David, maybe to make sure he was okay too. In loneliness, I placed the katana back in its sheath, and Arwen leapt onto my head.

"You sure you're alright....?" She asked, her head hanging upside down and glancing towards mine.

"I....guess so..." I replied, a little startled by her being up close. She withdrew her head, after blinking once, then I immediately looked down to my pendant, it was remorsely glowing faintly, probably to represent my feelings deep down. Sighing, I looked around, trying to find somebody to talk to. Kenichi, Satoshi, Aunyailia, the other Laura, and their digimon have already left, probably to find the next town, Morrigan was introducing herself to the other girl(Kari), I had no idea where Kouji was, and Jun was with David, probably to try and heal him...leaving me alone, the only one here actually with their digimon. There was nothing to do now, so I picked up Arwen off my head, sat down on a bench against the fountain, and placed her in my lap.

"Arwen...What's the next town and how far is it from here...?" I asked quietly, trying not to get anybody's attention.

"I think it's supposed to be Primary Village," She replied, blinking, "And it's probably just a bit away from here..."

Nodding, I placed her by my side, and turned around to look at the statue in the fountain. It resembled two angel-like figures, one male; one female, with a large bunny-like digimon....probably some sort of omen, like the guardians of the digital world. The male was pouring water from his right hand, the female from two of her many wings and her left hand, and the bunny was pouring from its large, flopping ears. The water was pure, reflecting the pale pink, purple, blue, yellow, orange, and red colors of sunrise. I felt something inside telling me something...the darkness releasing me, backing away from the rising sun. In awe, I gazed at the orb of orange, riding slowly across the eastern sky. The ancient Greeks believed that Helios, the sun god, was riding his chariot drawn by horse across the sky. The norse believed day and night was because two Jotuns in the form of wolfs kept chasing the sun and the moon, lead by chariots, because their kind disliked light...and I kept that pace making day and night forever until Ragnarok, which then the Jotuns would finally devour the two.

Smiling, I heard footsteps approaching me, I turned around to see Kouji, also gazing at the fountain.

=*=Kouji Hikazu - Light[O.O;; Oooh....pretty statue....]=*=
"Beautiful, isn't it?" I asked Laura, as she looked to me and nodded, following by Arwen who mimicked her partner.

"Yes...but it looks so fragile, but so strong..." She replied, slightly half-smiling, and looking towards her pendant.

"You alright?" I asked, my hair fluttering in the breeze.

"Yeah." She replied, sorta placing her hand over her stomach wound, it looked pretty minor, probably causing not much damage. Shaking my head, I glanced from the statue, then towards the sun. The radiance warmed my cool face, then reflected Laura's glasses lenses. Arwen's forehead gem, also obtain some radiance, glowed with life....apparently enjoying this feeling.

[Haruko]

So does being sick^^I promised a postie^^

Satoshi Takinowa[The everlasting sunset]

I looked down at Laura as I heard come light crying.I kept my arm around her, walking slowly. I used my other hand to fidgit with my D-Sense. Ahead of us were Hawkmon and Alpha Magnetmon, both lightly chating.

We continued to walk,even if most of the group wasn't following us.Laura continued to lightly sob on my shirt, and I continued to place my arm around her to comfort her.We got as far as the edge of town, that had a sign saying "Primary Village, 2 hours."



(Ok,I dunno what to post. So sue me.)

Yami Seraphimon[Phantomon's in for it!]

"I'll be going back to my quater's for a little while. I want to see what my child is doing."Venom Lucemon proclaimed. I nodded slightly at him, and his entire beody became darkness, and he traveled, faster than anything I have seen, along the darkness of the room.I was alone now, with Magna Wiccamon working on another project, and Venom Lucemon was doing a little checking on his child.

I looked deeply into my purple glass orb to check on the 3 digimon we sent to capture and destroy Las Mesa. Something told me in the pit of my Digi-Stomach that it didn't go to plan.

First thing I saw was a ghost Digimon, Phantomon, over the city. He examined the group of kids, his eyes full of fear.

"Noo way..I'm not committing Suicide!!"I heard him say. I laughed at that fact, for the matter was, if he came back, I would Kill him and take his Data. So in a way, it was better for him to die fighting than to die like a wuss.

Using the orb, I tried to find traces of Phelesmon and Mummymon,but there was no trace of them. I looked around more, and decided that the stupid kids and their digimon defeated them. I would get revenge..

"Pfftt..I got much better things to do than pick on a bunch of little kids right now. I gotta get plans into motion quick."I said aloud, making a mental note,"I got 2 worlds to conquer."



Aoi Watanabe[Ahh...Shower....Feel's goooooooooooooooood]

"Thank you again."I smiled as I entered the Swanmon's House. It was in the center of the town, near a bunch of bushes with egg's growing out of them. The House itself looked like a big egg.

"It's No Problem."Swanmon replied,"The Last time I've seen a human was about 20..25 years ago.But I was just a Gatomon then."

"How'd you get to be a Swanmon?"I said, placing my Bag on a Chair, and taking my shoes off next to the table.

"I worked for Orphanimon back then, but after a while, and I did such a great job at what I did, that I got promoted to this Job."Swanmon replied,"I've been doing this for 15 years or so."

"That's pretty cool,"I said,"Wheres the bathroom?"
"Uhh.."Swanmon lost her tail of thought for a quick second or two,then added,"It's all the way down that hall."



^^I posted. Dance. Rejoice. Be Merry.^^;

[Roy Karrde]

Allright Finals week, and well good luck to every non collage student who has finals in the up coming week

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We walked for what seemed like for ever, and with every step my arms and legs acked more, and I got hungrier and hungrier.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Satoshi asked holding out a bag of potato chips, I nodded slowly and began to ate them as fast as possible, half way through the bag I realized how rude I was being.

"Do.." I gulped trying to find my voice. "Do you want some?" I asked my stomach hurt really badly but I wanted to be sure that Satoshi wasnt hungry first.

"No, it's okay" Satoshi said warmly and I went back to chowing down on the chips, I finally finished the bag and neatly folded it into a small box and placed it into my pocket.

"Satoshi, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I asked him, I looked up at the moon that was still visable in the sky even though the sun was out.

"I dont know, I guess I really never thought about it, I guess I will decide when I need to" Satoshi replied keeping his mind straight on the target of the next city.

"Oh, I always thought I would grow up to be something nice, like a school teacher, or a astronaunt" I said my eyes getting all stary eyed as I thought of the possible future. "But, ever since daddy died I just kindof wished that I would meet some one that could be nice to me and well just care about me"

Satoshi just sighed and ran his hand through his hair as he tried to think of something next. "Laura, why do you like me, why stay near me when all I have done is be mean to you, why not try and like some one nice like Jun or David, some one who deserves your kindness?"

"Becuase, becuase" I tried to reply searching for what I could put into words. "Becuase your special, your special and unlike any one I met, and becuase your the first person in a long time to actually care about me" I told him and then I quieted my voice down.

"And becuase when you kissed me, for the first time I felt like some one cared about me and only me" I told him quietly he just seemed to watch me for the longest time and I started blushing from all the attention.

"That is why I like you Satoshi" I told him breaking the silence I finally looked up at him again and stood up on my tipee toes and kissed him on the cheek.

[Yami Annika]

A few minor changes to Aunyailia. First, her age: She's now barely sixteen (Like, a few days old sixteen). And her natural eye color in the real world: It's still hazel, but on one eye around the pupil it has a gold tint, and on the other eye it has a bluish tint around the pupil. I do hope that's alright. If not, then, of course, I'll change it back.



Aunyailia Vergere
-=-=-=-

I felt happy, walking with him. I could, perhaps, forgive the "lovebirds" comment. Although, when that first happened, I jokingly thought to myself that she would soon pay for that. After we told Morrigan about the battle, and we learned from her that David was plotting against us all, she left, leaving us alone again. We kept walking, to Primary Town, whispering and talking and laughing. We were in our own world.

I felt happy.

Ahead and behind us, some people were in their own worlds, as well. We were the train of humans, strangers in a strange land. I kept one eye on Satoshi and Laura, hoping they knew the way and we wouldn't get lost. I wasn't paying much attention, until Laura started visibly crying. My eyes tore to my little friend. Satoshi hugged her tight, and I felt I needed to be up there, not him. I started to realize all the relationships going on about her was hurting her. I made a small mental note to pay more attention to her. She also seemed so tired and so hungry. Her age became very apparant. Soon, everyone would need more than just naps. And we weren't the most well-fed people here...

If things stay as they are, A thought crept past sadly. They'll all be crying, soon...

But, she had been so much. I frowned slightly, watching her. She, if anyone, needed a break...


[FLASHBACK, 5 YEARS AGO (3rd Person)]

The young girl checked her watch, she should be there soon. She was barely eleven years old, her long brown hair pulled back into a French braid. Her father sat on the couch, mostly dazed, and sometimes mumbling nonsensical things under his breath. She watched him with her hazel-blue and hazel-golden eyes. She was glad she got this opportunity, before her mother took her off to France for her to become "cultured". She found it strange, as Japan was another chance for her to become "cultured", as well. As was China, and Brazil... The only place she had barely seen was her birthplace.

"I'm going now," she announced. Her father did not answer. She didn't expect anything, she just walked out the door. The sun was setting behind her. It was a long walk, but she had time. She liked to walk.

A while after the sun set, she approached the house she had been looking for. She checked the sheet of paper, an ad, and looked back at the address. There was a woman getting into the car, as the young girl started walking toward the doorway. She got a fierce feeling off of the woman. The young girl knocked on the door, and it swung open, revealing a nicely-dressed man in an incredible hurry.

"Mr. Lutz?" The girl asked sheepishly, half-bowing. "I'm Aunée, here for the babysitting job."

"Oh, yes," he replied breathlessly. "The- the phone numbers are on the kitchen counter, so you can reach us at the restaurant. She needs to be in bed by seven thirty, help yourself to the fridge." He continued walking toward the car his wife sat in. Aunée followed him with her eyes.

"Okay," She replied.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice," Roy opened the door to the car, and pulled out of the driveway. She watched them drive down the street, then took a breath to steady herself. She turned back toward the door, and saw a five year old peaking out from the hallway shyly.

Aunée grinned slightly, walking in and shutting the door behind her. "Hi there," She whispered sing-songingly. "What's your name?"

"Laura," the little girl replied sheepishly.

"Laura." Aunée repeated. "My name is Aunée. It's nice to meet you." She bent down to the Laura's eye level, and smiled. Laura half-recoiled.

"There's no need to be shy," She extended her hand, and gently led her into the living room. "We're going fun! Are you hungry?"

She walked into the kitchen, and started rummaging through the cabinets. It wasn't long before she opened one filled with vials and pills. She plucked the nearest one and read the label. The date was very recent, only a few days old, perscribed to Roy Lutz. So, he was sick. A cold, perhaps the flu? Whatever it may be, he would be taking it for a long while... The package in Aunée's pocket felt very heavy. Soon. I'll be taking from her what he took from me...

A few minutes later, Laura walked in curiously. Aunée had a huge bag of chips and had one sticking out of her mouth. She grinned taking it out, and offering the bag to her. "Do you want some?" She asked innocently.

[END FLASHBACK]

I did not realize we were still moving. My feet moved to their own accord, my eyes and mind still fixated on Laura. I felt Kenichi looking at me, worried. I glanced at him and halfway smiled, gently rubbing his hand with my thumb.

I looked back at Laura, who kissed Satoshi on the cheek.

Two more hours to Primary town, and we were the lone human train heading toward it.




I hope you feel better, Poli!

[Roy Karrde]

Hey guys Auny is sick again, possibly the flu too * It's hitting the DFW area hard * also I just wanted to post this because well it's been a idea that I was toying with, also it may help get the RPG moving again.

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I waited and waited and Satoshi seemed to blush at first and then calm down, I kept looking at him waiting for something, anything. I don’t know why I was waiting I just wanted him to tell me that I was special to him, or that he liked me anything, I just wanted some sign that we were close again.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?” I asked him, he seemed to bite his lip and look away, I knew that I was putting him in a uncomfortable position but…

All of the sudden Satoshi’s D-Sense lit up for an in coming call causing both of us to jump from the tension. “Jun, hey nice for you to call” Satoshi quickly said into the D-Sense and I looked down disappointed, he would never truly tell me how he felt if he felt anything for me.

“So you guys all healed up, were almost to Primary town” Satoshi said into the D-Sense, the voice on the other end replied with something, I really couldn’t hear.

“Okay well try to meet us as soon as possible, tell Kouji, and Laura, that we all say hi” Satoshi told Jun as he looked around to the rest of us and kindof shrugged.

I began to walk forward in a quickening pace as Satoshi signed off from the call, I continued to just kick up pebbles in frustration. “Hey Laura don’t run off we need to stick together” Satoshi yelled after me as my jog turned into a full out run.

“Why do you care, you don’t seem to care about me” I shot back with such frustration that it caused Kenichi and Auny to jump, I guess they finally decided to come out of there little lovie trance

“What did I..” Satoshi asked turning to everyone else for a solution to my sudden anger. I turned to continue to kick the rocks I was so MAD.

“I think she was hopeing for you, to tell her something, about you know how special she was to you” Auny suggested her voice carried in the wind and I just covered my ears and continued running to Primary town.

[Gladiator]

David (All the world's a dice game)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sped on past the remainder of the group, not having to work too hard to keep up with Laura. I could tell she was mad. Part of this came from experience as an older brother. That's what she needed right now, someone to talk to about all of this. If not, then she'll at least need someone to cheer her up.

Eventually she slowed down to a regular pace, and I did the same. For a moment, neither of us said anything. I was searching for a good choice of words. I decided to find some common ground, but she had already done that for me.

"David," she said, depressed, "Who's Ark?"

Ah, yes, that comforting feeling she experienced when we were tossing the beachball.

"Ark McCloud," I said the name fondly, "that's my uncle. He wrote the first ever story about this world."

"You did mention that," she said, remembering, "but what's he like?"

I frowned, searching for the perfect words, "Well, I don't really know how to describe him. Maybe I could use an analogy. Ark is like sleeping in the back of a car. When you're young, it's late, and it's a long drive home, you can just stretch out in the back of the car and go to sleep. It was that feeling of security, never having to worry about anything, knowing that you're parents would make it all right. I guess Ark is like that ride home, with him you feel safe. My little sister says that I'm a lot like that."

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I looked up at the gray form of my digimon. "Rigiamon?"

Without looking at me, he continued to track Laura's movement with his eyes. David ran up to the little girl and seemed to be try and talk her down. Rigiamon nodded quickly. "Don't worry, I can catch up to her in a second if the need arises. If human children are anything like evil digimon, and both the Lunars and the Celestials seem to think so, all she'll need to do is get this out of her system..." A thoughtful look overcame him. "Or possibly kill something in a rage, but I don't think human children are that similar to evil digimon.

I nodded slowly, and looked back down at Auny who seemed to have gotten concerned over the outburst. Her protectiveness over Laura was plain for anybody to see... Hopefully it would not create a lasting problem between her and Satoshi. Satoshi himself had been through more than enough, and I don't think he was fully equipped to handle the puppy love Laura was diplaying towards him.

I let out a sigh, and took in the somewhat bland scenery of grass and the occasional tree off of the path. The sky was clear, there were a few clouds, and there didn't seem any indication that there was any threat to the digital world... Besides the fact that we had been attacked too many times for my liking. Talking to Auny this whole time had been nice in a way I hadn't experianced before, but thoughts of what were coming up ahead rang louder.

Time managed to slip away steadily, as Laura's pace ahead of us grew steady once more with David by her side, but she kept her distance. The shape of a toy block suddenly towered over the next hill, making me lift an eyebrow.

"And that is...?"

"Primary Village," ended Rigiamon calmly.

The group stopped at the top of the hill, Laura rejoining us as we gazed at the village in wonder. The entire place seemed to be made of children's blocks and dolls, colored in all shades. The ground shifted from grass to patchwork rubber, and the whole place had a truly unreal quality about it.

"This is where digimon in the digital world are born," Rigiamon said, a dark note entering his voice.

"This is where you were born?" I asked, restraining a whistle at the look of this place. It was like a carnival, and I couldn't imagine the sinister looking Rigiamon starting off here.

"No, I was created elsewhere, but I know this village well enough."

I raised an eyebrow. "How's that?"

"I was used as a general for the Lunars," Rigiamon began with his ever calm tone. "Primary Village was a plump, near-defenceless target. It was one of my first missions for them to come here. I ended up destroying the Valkyrimon guardian in the process, and converting hundreds of baby digimon using my programming skills. I left this town as a crater, and that was five years ago.

A shiver overtook me. "So, what exactly happened to those digimon you converted?"

Rigiamon shrugged. "Most of them were destroyed since they sided with me during my rebellion. Those few that are left are probably acting as soldiers in the Lunar's forces... A trifle compared to our group's power."

"I see..." I said slowly.

"Well, we should continue on..." Rigiamon paused for a moment. "Don't be surprised if the current guardian is less than happy to see that I'm still alive..."

I nodded, and began to follow Rigiamon into the village...

[Haruko]

You guy's have no clue on who Swanmon really is?Little hint, she was in Legends.

Satoshi Takinowa[I'm never going to eat another egg as long as I live.*barf*]

"What is this place...?"I whispered, staring at the Toy Town with amazement. Houses made in shapes of teapots and building blocks.The floor looked like a quilt, with little rubber duckies and smiley faces drawn on them.

"Primary Village."Hawkmon said.He started to walk down the hill to the village. I followed after him, wanting to know more of this place..

"Every digimon's life begin's here, maybe an exception of a few.."Hawkmon added as we entered the town. I heard the footsteps of Rigiamon behind us, but continued to walk."And a digimon's data is recollected here aswell, giving them new life."

"Did your life begin here?"I asked him. He stopped, and turned around quickly.
"Yes, It did."Hawkmon said,"But I was somewhat of an...outcast...as a baby. There was the popular baby's, then there was me."



Aoi Watanabe[Think once, shame on you.]

"Thanks for everything!"I smiled at Swanmon, finished with getting changed into clean clothing.My red long sleeve made my all warm inside and out, and my pants did the same. I placed my hair in a ponytail with a Extra Scrunchie I had. My Red shoes were still near the table, as so were my socks.

"Why don't I show you around the town a little bit more?"Swanmon said. Labramon nodded her head fast, smileing in delight,"The ground is soft, and is not dirt, so you really won't need your shoes right now."

"I guess I could."I answered, grabbing my Red Based, Orange Rimmed D-Sense and my Napsack.Swanmon opened the door, and we left out for 'sight-seeing'

"These egg's,"Swanmon pointed out to a bush close to her house,"are all about to hatch any day now. You wouldn't mind watering the bush a little with me, would ya?"

"I don't mind at all"I told her.I was good in a Garden, and I was bored..so I would do anything. I watered the plant, allowing some for Labramon to water. Her tail wagged a little bit, smiling at the egg's. They looked like they were glittering, some giving off mists of the colors of the sunset.

"Thank you!"Swanmon smiled as we placed the pails down. We continued to walk out of the shade of the big tree into the village.

"Uhh?"I muttered. I felt my D-Sense vibrating like mad, as if It was a human child and I gave them tons of Pixie Stix. I got it out of my pocket, and a projected compas popped out. The arrow pointed to my left. I showed it to Swanmon, and she nodded. We moved left, and found ourselfs face to face..


"SATOSHI!!!"

[Roy Karrde]

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"SATOSHI" This girl screamed out of no where and came running up to Satoshi, almost pushing me over on the way over to him, she threw her arms around him and hugged him like there was no tomarrow.

"Who is she?" Auny wispered to Kenichi and David, who shrugged at the question.

"Maybe a girlfriend from the real world or something" Kenichi replied to Auny, who in turn threw a glance at Kenichi and then motioned with her head over to me and made a "Shut up" motion with her mouth.

"Oh, maybe just a friend, yeah back in the real world I used to have a lot of girls...who were my friends" Kenichi tried to reply and cover up for what he had said before, but the damage was allready done, and the tears began to well up in my eyes.

I had been so stupid, I had pushed Satoshi too far, I should have never had kissed him, or asked to be told if he thought I was special or something, it was just too much and now he had a new girlfriend.

I walked over there slowly and began to talk to Satoshi in a low voice. "Satoshi, just..well I just have these feelings and I just wish you would.. you know tell me I'm special too" I said looking down trying not to make eye contact at Satoshi

"That's nice but, Satoshi you have to see this place" The new girl said quickly taking Satoshi by the hand and leading him away from me, Satoshi tried to look back at me as he was dragged off but the new girl just kept diverting his attention.

"Hey, lets go exploring this place, I can tell you more about Ark" David said trying to cheer me up as he placed both hands on my shoulders.

"Thank you, but I kindof just want to be left alone right now" I told him and took off running.

I just kept running through the whole town, eventually I found Swanmon and she showed me to one of the houses that we were given to stay in, after thanking her, I made my way to the bed room, threw myself down on the bed and cried myself to sleep.

[Kioshi Wakami]

I'm confused and not feeling well and post later.

[Gladiator]

David
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And there she goes," I muttered, watching Laura run away before turning back to Kenichi. It was a pain keeping a straight face as I removed one of my gloves from behind my back.

-POW!- I landed a fist straight in Kenichi's stomach. He doubled over, surprised by the sudden attack. It wouldn't hurt him too bad, but I needed to vent some steam.

"Smooth, Kenichi," I muttered to him as I walked away. Well, at least he'll be spared from my sinister revenge. If I ever do attempt it.

...

I was so going to take Morgan and Satoshi down.

Anyway, I really didn't know where I was going. Everytime there was a crossroad, I just took a direction that felt right. Part of me felt that something was pulling me in these directions.

It wasn't too long before someone flagged me down.

"Hey, David!" I turned to see that it was the pink-haired girl again, Haruka I think. I had almost forgotten her completely, but then again, she wasn't with the main party the whole time. She was running down the road to greet me. Lopmon was on her head, waving her ear like a hand.

"Howdy" I said, extending my hand in greeting.

She returned my gesture before moving a bit to look behind me, "Where's everyone else?"

I nodded, "They should be in the village; I just left after punching Kenichi in the stomach, Satoshi met an old friend, and Laura is broken-hearted...again." I sorta wanted to slap myself for that last remark. Haruka frowned a bit. I could sorta guess what she would ask.

"Aunyailia is still in the group. I don't like it either, but that's the way the dice rolls," I said, pulling some dice out for emphasis.

She gave me one of those strange looks. Then again, how many people do YOU know that carry such a random allotment of dice*. However, she didn't say anything about it.

"Well, It's nice to know there is someone who has the same opinion I do," she stated, "Any reason why?"

Well, I explained it before, "There isn't any evidence for me to dislike her."

"No evidence! She tried to slit my throat!"

Let's see, so that's been older Laura who's yelled at me, Morrigan (countless times), and now her. I don't think I have a positive effect on women.

"Okay. First, I did not know that til now. Second, sans either your or Aunie's Digimon, none of us had witnessed that incident. Third, the time Kenichi confronted her about Satoshi's 'nightmare' incident, she was able to cover her hide. She may have lied, but I don't know. I'm not the kind of person who judges."

She was about to speak again, but I cut her off.

"I didn't answer your question yet. I don't like her because she generates this negative vibe about her. I feel she's been corrupted, but I have no proof."

There I said it, what does she have to say.

[Toxicity]

Heh...Indiana has recently caught the flu outbreak, too...>_>;; Also there's a possible chance for snow(and lots of it ^_^) in my area....

~*^*~Laura Rider - Ice["Skeith....Innus....Magus....The rest of the inscription is faded..." -Kite from .hack//Infection]~*^*~
We better hurry up towards Primary Village.... I thought to myself, watching the others do whatever they were doing at the moment. Sighing, I picked up Arwen and held her, and stood up, walking towardfs the continuing outskirts of town, alone.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Jun called out, slightly grunting under his breath afterwards.

"To Primary Village....the closest town...." I replied shyly, somewhat startled by his comment. Kouji blinked, and rushed up next to my side.

"I guess I'll go with you...." He whispered to me, so the other couldn't here him.

"How far?" David asked, his eyes widing with interrogation, same with Haruka's and Lopmon's.

"About a two hour's walk from here...." Kouji added, pointing towards the billboard behind us, "And by the looks of it, all digimon start out in that area."

"Really?" Morrigan added, turning her head towards us, the girl she was talking to also looking over. Gulping, without knowing what to say, I lightly nodded my head.

"Well then..." Jun muttered, "I guess I'll also go...." He then stood up, then David and Haruka walked a bit forward. It seems as some of us were separated, the rest had to stay together somehow. Thinking about it, hopefully somebody got my point for once..

[Thargor]

Uhh... Gothic, it might help to read the previous posts a bit more carefully. Both David and Haruka are at Primary Village already, both of their posts having dealt with events that have occurred within the village itself.

[Roy Karrde]

Hey since everyone is getting confused about where everyone currently is in the RPG I thought I would make up a list to help you guys out.

Primary Village: Laura * Younger *, Satoshi, Haruka, David, Morrigan, Auny, Aoi, and Kenichi, and Kari

Locations:

Laura: In her room, in one of the houses we are given in this town

Satoshi and Aoi: Walking together in Primary Village

David and Haruka: Talking to each other some where in Primary Village

Auny, Morrigan, Kari, and Kenichi: Standing at the enterence to Primary Village

Los Mesa: Jun, Kouji, and Laura * Older *

Locations:

Jun, Kouji, and Laura: Begining their trek to Primary Village, on the outskirts of Los Mesa

Anyway sorry about the flu Gothic, it's been hitting Dallas pretty hard too, were even out of vaccine over here.

[Yami Annika]

Aunyailia Vergere
-=-=-=-

I was starting to get tired again. And hungry, as my stomach started to feel really, really empty. So the entire David-punching-Kenichi thing seemed really random. And kinda funny. I kept a hand up against my mouth, so he wouldn't see me smiling, and tried with all my strength to keep from doubling over with laughter.

"He got lucky," Kenichi muttered, rubbing his stomach. I snorted a small laugh before trying to compose myself and help him up.

"Well, you have to admit," I chortled. "Your comment was very, uh... smooth."

He playfully glared at me.

"You okay?" I asked, quieter.

"I'll be alright." He answered, straightening.

"So macho," I teased. "Well, I suppose if you are just peachy, then you don't need me for a few minutes." Anger rising as I began to remember what had just happened, I touched him gently on the cheek, then started to move away.

"Where are you going?" He called after me, but I could guess he already knew. There were only two places I would go, but there was only one person who, at this point, I could be this mad at.

"I have some things I need to take care of!" I called, spinning around and waving. Then, I sped off in the direction that girl and Satoshi went.

-=-

"Satoshi!" I yelled as their figures began to be visible. "Wait!" They both turned and looked at me, trying to figure out how to react. I took this time to catch up with them.

"Satoshi," I breathed, catching my breath. "We need to talk."

"Excuse me," The girl interjected. "We're kind of busy here."

I stared at her, and blinked for a moment. My stomach kept feeling more and more empty. I stuck out my right hand. "Hi." I introduced myself. "I'm Aunyailia Michelle Vergere. Perhaps my memory's disappearing with my lack of sleep, but I can't seem to place you." I smiled apollogetically.

"I'm Aoi..." She replied, confused. She took my hand and shook it, except with my extra energy I nearly ripped her hand off.

"Nice to meet you." I grinned, and took her to the side.

"I'm terribly, terribly sorry to interrupt your oh-so-important conversation. But I just need one tiny private minute with Satoshi." I held up one finger for emphasis. Then I interlocked my fingers, letting go of her hand. "So, please, if you could just leave us alone for that long?" She didn't seem to obliging. My temper was rising. "By the time you go into that pastery shop, and buy me a pink sprinkled donut, I'll be done." I handed her a few pieces of money, and gave her a little push in the right direction.

"Thanks!" I called after her, then frowned. Another bad impression. I turned to Satoshi.

"You think she'll hate me, too?" I asked him. He still seemed surprised by this turn of events.

"I don't think she'll hate you..." He replied slowly, choosing his words, as I walked up to him. Satoshi looked at me curiosly. "What do you want?"

I looked around, and saw that Aoi was out of sight. I smiled thinly, then slapped him across the cheek, scraping him with my nails.

"What was that for?" He gasped, holding one hand protectively over the swelling red mark on his face.

"Look, buddy." I pointed one finger at him, poking it in his chest. "That's for being so mean and rude to Laura. I'm going to make this short, so your new girlfriend won't have to wait: You either like Laura or you don't. As a friend, let's just say, I really, really hate seeing her strung along on this little mind game of yours. She's ten. So make it clear whether you like her or not. Let her move on. I'm sure David would be pleased, seeing as he enjoys her company and appreciates her friendship, not liking her one moment and being disgusted with her the next."

"Whatever," He muttered, and turned to walk off. He was going to leave the other girl here? Maybe he was worse with women than I thought.

"You don't just walk away from me!" I chased after him. "Go and do this, or I swear your going to lose her, not only as a potential girlfriend but a friend as well. Just in case it doesn't get through," I air-tapped his forhead. "I'll say it once more: She is the only person who cares about you." I straightened. Mission completed.

"Now," I relaxed. "If you will excuse me, I have a friend with a... deadly stomachache." I twirled around, and walked off without looking back. I had to go see, under all the macho-ism, if Kenichi would survive David's fist-attack. After all, stomachaches were not to be fooled around with. Especially since I couldn't shake this feeling... Primary Town was not going to be some relaxing walk through the park.

[Haruko]

Lots of snow is always nice.

Haruka Haruda["Aimai na kotoba tte igai ni benri datte/Sakenderu hitto songu kikinagara"-Butter-Flyigimon Adventure Opening]

"I didn't answer your question yet. I don't like her because she generates this negative vibe about her. I feel she's been corrupted, but I have no proof."David concluded, looking at me. I stared at him for a second. I felt Lopmon sighing lightly, she was tired..

"I feel the same way,"I replied to his quote, placing my hands in my pockets,"But all the same, the main reason I hate her is the fact that she tried to slit Mine and Lopmon's throat."

David sighed, playing with the dice in his hands.I couldn't get anyone to side with me...they didn't see what she did!

"Well,anyway.."I said, to break the ice,"Anything else been going on?I left last night to do somethings on my own..I prolly missed nothing though."

"Well...There was a fight with a Phelesmon and a Mummymon. But nothing really.There was a fight with a Weirdo called Arkana.He had a digimon called Slimemon, but it wasn't that big a deal...sorta ran away in the end."



Aoi Watanabe["Sou sa joushiki hazure mo waruku wa nai ka na/Stay shisou na imeeji wo someta gikochinai tsubasa demo"Butter-fly]

"Pftt...What does that girl think she's ordering.."I muttered under my breath,Going into the pastery store. I entered the store, Labramon behind me..

"Buy one, get one free day"I said,"Great.Labramon, pick out a Pink Sprinkled Doughnut and a Bostom Cream Lite."Labramon quickly ran to the Doughnut Selection part, and grabbed the 2 Doughtnuts. I went to the counter and payed for them both..

"Who does she think she is..anyways?"I said, thinking of that girl, who pushed me away from Satoshi. I sighed at the fact, Litely eating the Boston Creme. I looked at Labramon, who's eyes gleamed at the Doughnut. I ate a little more of it, then handed it back to her..

"Thankiess!!!"Labramon said, and finished it in one bite. I sighed, looking for Satoshi. I saw him standing in the middle of a "road"..so to say. The girl had left, so I decided to let Labramon have the doughnut. If anything,I'll pay her back.

"You ok?"I said, my hair flowing in the wind. He nodded and looked back at me. He looked at me for a second, then lunged..hugging me tightly..


"You care for me..right?"

[Gladiator]

Jason (Setting: Ark left, everyone else is in the hospital)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ophanimon, why do you torture us so? I mean, it seems that the majority of people you choose are related to us. What's the deal, give us a break!

Sorry, it's just, you have NO idea what Chelsea will do to me when she finds her oldest daughter is in a coma. I'm surprised Morrigan is only as foul-tempered as Axehelm or 'Ace' as you remember him.

Oh, right, I need to deliver the message. Don't shoot the messenger, please?

Green Knight's Call to Arms? Like hell I'm gonna tell them that.

First up, Akira. My hand silently opens the door so that I may slip in like a shadow.

"Oh, hey," I commented, smiling, "I didn't know you were having another baby. Congrats, Akira."

Akira smiled at me as she greeted me. Heck, it seemed a long time ago when I had to split her from Akina and take her D-Scanner. Stupid Valentine Virus.

I have this sudden urge to give the little child-to-be some baby talk, but I'm not going to do that. That's not the image I want to have.

"Hey, did you know your older brother's going to be a hero?"

Damn, compose yourself. Just deliver the stupid message.

"Oh, hey, Ark is going to give some speech tommorow afternoon for all of us."

I find her expression to be most amusing. I don't blame her.

"I thought I'd be done with those speeches when I left the Digital World. What's it about?"

Knowing him, he'll probably just spout off stuff we already knew. How we find ourselves in this situation and about how we should help each other out.

"I imagine he'll be reminding us of the good old days."

I want to kill myself for saying that, those were good old days. I doubt I'll ever get to see Toby again, and it makes me feel small and emasculated. I never knew how I really felt for her, and now it's too damn late. Of course, I'm sure Ark has the same problem.

"Well, I've got to tell the others," I got up from my seat (I didn't know I even sat down. Wierd), and exited the room. I made the same announcement to Akina (why similar names), and then proceeded to Arnen.

"Hey, ASM," I greeted, hoping she'd understand the inside joke.

She took it...well. Must be the sign of the Apocalypse. It used to drive her insane when I refered to her as the Anti-Social Maniac. Of course, that also meant I got hit by Ark when her back was turned, but you know, I have to get my kicks.

"Where's Ark," was the first thing she asked. Hmm, still attached to the guy in some way, eh. This could be interesting.

"We're not joined by the hip you know," I stated, mock-gruffly. I like making fun of twin stereotypes, "Actually, he had to get some stuff done, so I'm being his stooge. He's got a speech for tommorow afternoon, and he wants everyone to be there. Hey, he just might propose to you if you're lucky."

Now, there is a hillarious expression. I just pray she doesn't ask why I didn't think she was married, though it probably wouldn't be as bad as facing Mrs. Axehelm's wrath.

I quietly left the room so that I may deliver the message to Kioshi. There was going to be some problem, though. Kioshi's life partner probably should not be in on this. If only because I doubt he knows the truth behind Kioshi. I didn't want to inform Kioshi and make him feel uninvited (and any other problems that might occur).

I took a pen and some paper and wrote something down.

Water Warrior,

The Green Knight's hosting a meeting tommorow afternoon. Everyone that matters has been invited. You can't bring him unless you tell him the truth.

Greased Lightning

I folded the paper and wrote Kioshi's name before sliding it under the door.

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I let out a sigh as I saw Aunie go after Satoshi and the new girl. My back straightened out completely and all looks of discomfort were erased from my face, replaced by a look of regretful amusement. With a snap, I stretched my arms above my head, and began a little regiment to get myself loose after that hike.

Rigiamon looked at me in amusement as I dropped to the ground to stretch my legs. "You were completely prepared for that punch, yet you let it hit you." He stated it as if the sentence was a proven fact, and not just speculation.

A smile merely went across my face, almost sheepish as I stretched my thighs. "His body language told me what he was going to do ages before the punch. The tension, the way he carried himself, and the sudden stiffness entered him. I've been punched by more than enough people in my time, and those are clear signs as any."

"And the reason you let his punch connect?"

"Why shouldn't have I?" I said, getting up from the ground and twisting my body around. "I said something tactless, and if David hadn't let out his steam then, things could have gotten worse. Besides," I added with a sour smile, "David doesn't have the build or temprement of a fighter, his punches don't exactly do much. He get's his free shot, and the group stays closer together in the process. No resentment lingering between us."

A true smile passed on Rigiamon's lips. "I can see why you were the one who was selected to be my partner..."

I laughed, then shook my head at the village below. "Should we go into the village?"

Rigiamon nodded quickly. "Yes, you should meet the others there... I'll find you a bit later, I'll scout for the next two temples in this area so we can add more digimon to our team. I'll see you in about an hour."

With a leap that turned Rigiamon into a blur, he quickly darted towards the outskirts of city and out of site. Putting both hands in my pockets, I whistled almost silently as I went down the path. Today was not a bad day...

[Haruko]

Akina Haruda["Michi ga michiteru furontia e/Hashiri tsuzukeru nda "Kimi o tsurete" "-FIRE!! Digimon Frontier Opening]

I sighed deeply, looking outside the window of Aiymee's hospital room. I sat on my chair besides her bed, and allowed some fresh air to get in by opening the window. I reached inside my pocketbook,and pulled out my D-Scanner..

"So long ago.."I noted to myself,smileing at it's glory. The handle was black,buttons black.The base of it was a deeppink. It wasn't always like this though. It used to be white with a pink handle, but that changed when me and Arnen had to Hyper Spirit Evolve.

The screen flashed with a picture of Lady Wolfmon, she smiled. I got her back near the end of our last adventure, when Lucemon broke Spirit Memorial and released our spirits. I got Lady Wolfmon and Lichtmon back, and Angelic Ladywolfmon Joined the crew.

I looked back at Aiymee, my Brown hair to my shoulders moveing with my head. She layed motionless, only moving her hand to gestures of stars, lines and X's.

Ark's giving a speech tomorrow afternoon. I reached into my Pocketbook once more, and grasped my organizer. I was open all this week, so I was good, I could go. I missed them a lot, and a talk would be nice.

"Kimi o tsurete"I hmmed lightly, watching the winds carry Aiymee's soft brown air.



Satoshi Takinowa["Stay shigachi na imeeji darake no tayorinai tsubasa demo" Butterfly-Digimon Adventure Opening]

"You care for me..right?"I asked Aoi, clutching onto her red slongsleeve shirt, smelling her hair.I felt her knees weaken a little to it, but she wrapped her arms around my shoulders, and I felt her lips smile.

"Always." She replied back. I let go of my hug, and looked over to Hawkmon. Aoi's digimon was with him, and they both looked like they were crying..

"That was beautiful!!"Hawkmon said, his eyes watery. Aoi's digimon, one that I couldn't match a name to the picture, had tears forming a river, it's tail wagged in it..

"Yeah...I mean..It could be a soap opera!"Hawkmon added. I felt myself blush as Hawkmon and Aoi's digimon set for a reinactment.

"Labramon...You care for me..right?"
"Yes Hawkmon..I do!I really do!"Labramon and Hawkmon hugged,then let go..Aoi wasn't next to me anymore, but behind the two joking digimon.

"You two better shuddap, or I'm gonna.."Aoi said, making a evil smile. Labramon stopped asap, and went behind Aoi.

"I gotta check on a friend though, Mind going with me?"I asked Aoi. She looked like she was gonna question "Who?"m but she stopped in her treks. She nodded a Yes, and walked over to me again. Hawkmon and Labramon followed, and we set off to find Laura.

I peeked inside every house that seemed like someone was inside.Aoi just looked around for anymore humans that I could introduce her to. As I looked,I wondered two things.

One was why Aoi was here, and what Element she had. Another one was what was Laura Doing? Was she ok?

"Found Her!"Hawkmon noted from across the streed. I smiled, and ran over. I nodded to Aoi, asking if she could stay outside while I went to talk to Laura.

"Laura.."I whispered lightly,closing the wooden door behind me. The light was on, the place seemed empty if it wasn't for the faint whisper in the air of a cry.

"Laura..your here...let me talk.."I whispered, entering another room besides the main one. It contained a bed, and a figure in a fetus position. The sheets around it's head were soaked, the cry...familar..

"Laura"I told the figure. I placed a wodden straw chair next to the bed, and sighed deeply. I fixed my glasses, and nudged Laura..

"Who's..that girl that you ran with?"I heard her say, under the snuffing,under the tears falling. She was talking about Aoi."Was she your girlfriend from the real world?"

"Aoi?Naw, she's a best friend from the real world, she's not my Girlfriend."I told her. That stopped some of the tears from her, and she sat up on the bed. I looked at her for a second..

"I love you, you know. I was worried with the Mummymon..then you stormed off.."Laura said, still crying,although it was a lighter cry. I got up from my chair, and grabbed another blanket from the closet. I covered Laura in it, and whispered in her ear before I left.

"I love you too."And my words rode on the wind as I left.

[Roy Karrde]

Okay I deleted my old post so that I can do a Laura's post after what Poli just did.

---------------------------------
"What are you doing here?" Akira asked, we were both floating around in this cloudy white room which just seemed to go on and on forever.

"I dont know, it's your dream" I replied with a shrug and a streach, "Ah, it's good to be solid again"

"Arnt you" Akira began to ask kindof shocked.

"Dead yeah, but like I said it's your dream" I countered, as I continued to streach and enjoying being solid again. "Anyway I came here to tell you something: Satoshi and everyone else is okay"

Akira seemed to sigh and relief and her body began to relax, or atleast her dream like body seemed to. "So you came back from the dead to tell me this?" She asked.

"Yeah and to ask for a favor, I want you to take Laura in, dont let her go back to that adopted family" I warned her in the best ghostly tone I could, I could see that it wasnt working and I just let my body sag. "Please" I begged.

"I promised you 5 years ago. What do you think my answer is now?" Akira smerked and I relaxed a little bit and breathed a sigh of relief. "Anyway how do you know Satoshi is okay?"

"I've been keeping watch on them, really to make sure Laura remains out of harms way, but recently I've been having to watch out for Satoshi" I told her, and she seemed a little puzzled at this. "Okay this may wierd you out a little but Laura has fallen well in love with your son, and he has fallen in love with my daughter"

"I need to sit down" She replied and suddenly a chair appeared behind her. "Handy dream world" She remarked and sat down.

"I can show you him if you want" I asked her and she shot up immediatly, a image appeared of Satoshi leaning down and wispered something into Laura's ear, the image pulled out to show another girl standing impatiently outside the house.

"That isn't your daughter is it?" Akira asked puzzled.

"The one your son is with is, the girl standing outside, well that's Aoi she went to the Digital World by a boiler room enterence" I told her and the picture shut off, Akira just stood there in a daze for a second.

"Listen I cant stay for long, just tell everyone I said Hi and that I miss them and that their children are okay" I told her, as I began to feel my body grow more and more faint. "And when Laura wakes up tell her that her daddy loves her and still watches over her"


Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sa-toshi?" I asked weakly looking over the sheets. No one was there, the room was empty, I jumped out of bed I wanted to run to him and hug him, and well tell him I loved him over and over again. I ran out the door to the bed room and opened to front door to the house

"Satoshi, I" I began to say opening the door with a huge smile but no one was there, the street was empty. My smiled faded and I went back inside disapointed. I decided to take a quick shower and change back into that old dress I had which was remarkably clean and didnt smell of that bad soda like it used to.

With a final comb through of my hair to make sure it was just right I walked outside and started on my trek to find the others. Maybe Satoshi had to run off some where, maybe something important happened and he couldnt stay, but the most important thing was that he told me he loved me. I continued to walk around with a new found energy until I bumped into Haruka and David.

"Hi Haruka" I said happily, before I turned and noticed David, "Oh David, I'm so sorry for what happened but you will never believe what happened" I said turning back and forth, I wanted to tell them about Satoshi and that he loved me, and everything, but, but they would never believe me.

"Well what happened?" Haruka asked pushing me.

"I..I found these houses that Swanmon is letting us stay in" I said a little disheartened, I wanted to tell them so bad, and now I had just lied to both of them, I couldnt even look at either of them.

"C'mon lets go see these houses you found" David said taking me by the hand with a smile and leading me along.

"Okay could we also get some food like Cotten Candy?" I asked happily as we continued along then I noticed Haruka wasnt walking with us. "Haruka are you coming?" I asked turning to see her still back at the spot that we had just left.

"No, you two go ahead I'm going to go see if I can go find Satoshi" Haruka said, sudden a over whelming fear washed over me, what if Haruka told Satoshi that I was holding hands with some one else, would he hate me, would he take back what he said?

"No Haruka, dont please" I begged her which took everyone by suprise.

"Okay" She said trading glances with David before finally sighing.

"C'mon Laura lets go get some of that Cotton Candy" David said turning my attention back to him.

"Okay" I chipped up as we continued to walk together, but even as I walked I continued to couldnt stop thinking what Satoshi was doing right now and if he was thinking of me.

[Arnen]

OoC: Lol... *pokes Gladiator*
Ach, I've missed a lot of stuff again... Baka school...

<~-Arnen [Anti-Social Maniac] -~>

I stared absently at Kari's unconscious form, just lying there in the hospital bed. The only sign of life in her was the faint rise and fall of her chest with her breath.

"Why did this have to happen now, when things are so hard?" I murmered. "<It seems like life just keeps trying to screw me over, doesn't it...>"

FLASHBACK

I held the pregnancy tester with shaking hands, desperately awaiting my fate.... It was a +...

"K-Kenta?" I called, trembling.
"What?" My boyfriend called lazilly from the other room of our shanty little apartment.
"It... It's positive..."
"WHAT?!" he roared. I heard a crash as he apparently leapt from the armchair, knocking it over. His footsteps reverberated throughout the room as he stamped his way into the kitchen, where I sat on a stool at the table.

"The test's positive," I repeated in a whisper, handing him the electronic tester. He stared at it, as if by sheer will he could change what it said.
"It's gotta be wrong..." he muttered.
I shook my head. "It's supposed to be 99.9% accurate."
"This... This is too much..." he said, shaking his head. Strands of raven hair fell over his eyes, and he shoved them away. "I can't take this..." he turned and walked out of the room.

I leapt up and followed him. He was in the bedroom, throwing clothes and junk into a suitcase.
"What...?" I muttered. He ignored me as he shoved past, then went out the door, slamming it. "Wait!" I cried, running after him. It was no use; by the time I was at the door, he was already in the car and driving off.
"Kenta... Don't... Please..." I said helplessly. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes, and I couldn't stop them. "Don't leave me... Please..." It wasn't fair. We had planned to get married... I sank down to my knees, barely believing that he was gone, and with... Well, things how they were. I leaned against the door frame, my hand to my mouth as I sobbed. "Why...?"

END FLASHBACK

I was snapped out of the memory by the door opening. I started at the noise, quickly whiping a tear from my eye. It was Jason.

"Hey, ASM," he said. I supposed ASM stood for his old nickname for me, Anti-Social Maniac. I smiled slightly, remembering the first time he'd called me that. He had been introducing someone, and I guess it kinda slipped, and I had gotten mad and went off on my own. And Ark had come after me.

"Where's Ark?" I asked automatically.
"We're not joined by the hip you know," he replied with a grimace. "Actually, he had to get some stuff done, so I'm being his stooge. He's got a speech for tommorow afternoon, and he wants everyone to be there. Hey, he just might propose to you if you're lucky."

I blushed, frowning. He made an amused sort of face, so I guess my expression was kinda funny. I forgot for the moment to wonder how he knew I was single.

"I'll be there," I said, looking back at Kari's seemingly asleep form.
