*Digimon:Digital Sensations!(Starts,2 LSU's!)*

[Toxicity]

~*^*~Laura Rider - Ice["Without the mask....where will you hide..? Can't find yourself...lost in your lies..." from "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence]~*^*~
I sighed broodingly, as everybody went their separate ways in the town apparently constructed of oversized toys and filled with cradles holding out "fresh" digimon, young and waiting until they accept their fate that they must digivolve, from what Arwen told me out on the road. The light fluttered slightly, as the wind blew strands of my hair across my face. I noticed a tree...a tree, but no ordinary tree. It was either a large oak or sycamore, but its leaves...were of colors never-ending their cycle of the colors of the rainbow.

I guess I was meant to be alone all along.... I thought to mjyself, sitting down, and pulling my D-Sense out of my pocket. There were 12 or 13 dots scattered along the area, one dark blue dot just lying still(myself). Every other dot kept a far distance from mine, so I knew nobody actually cared. Sighing, I lied on my back, the soft grass blades rubbing against the edge of my shirt. Arwen was nearby, entertaining a few fresh digimon, not to far from me. The sky was its usual blue, as a few clouds drifted around, it was rather peaceful...yet soothing. But as this happened, my eyelids slowly, but smoothly closed shut....as I drifted out, falling to sleep.

~*~Laura's Dream(happening in the real world, but she was never there)~*~

I opened my eyes, looking down at my floating Digital World form, it was slightly see-through and misty, but I didn't know how. I pulled out one arm and stuck the other hand through it, it went right through, like a ghost through a mortal form. Gasping at realizing I was no longer alive, I looked at the people surrounding my figure lying in a coma on a hospital bed(Real-World Laura in coma), doctors....just quickly examining me.

"Did you get anybody to get to her once she wakes up?" The first asked, writing her down.

"No...her mother claimed she doesn't care for her, her father is deceased, her uncle in America is probably away, at church or something, her other uncle is deceased also, her aunt is probably away, and I guess there's nobody..."

"So we leave her for the dead?"

"I guess....unless we can get someone before we lose her."

Tears fell from my eyes as I heard the second statement. I knew my father was dead, my mother never did care, but I never knew I had an aunt.

Who is my aunt....? I asked, just plainly confused at this matter. The only siblings my mother had were two younger brothers, the younger was a Catholic married with three kids and never cared for me, but the older of the two uncles was dead...he had died about two years ago from AIDs. I drifted away, fading to mist in sorrowful, which awoke.

I awoke in startled pain, sweating coldly, but daintly. I sat up, using the edge of my left sleeve to dab the sweat from my forehead and glasses. That was probably the most confusing dream I had ever had.

"Arwen....I just had the strangest dream," I said quietly to my Digimon, who immediately pranced over.

"What was it like...?" She asked, her eyes widening, wanting to know.

"It's a little too hard to explain on my own...." I replied, looking down, "But I had learned I had an aunt..."

"It's the truth, Laura. You do have an aunt."

"Who?"

"Well, let's just put it this way," She said, about to tell a story about if I had an aunt or not, "The last humans in the Digital World were about 25 years ago, from what Orphanimon had mentioned when she told me this. The first of the ice deity was the girl at the temple who showed you how to use your D-Sense, Akira, who is Satoshi's mother and Haruka's aunt. But again, 3 years after the first time...there was another group of humans in the digital world, some of them the first 10. The new child of ice was Sen Kinomoto, who had never known she had a fraternal twin sister, who had went to an American family....for at the time of her birth, her Japanese-American parents lived in China."

"But, her sister....who is it...?" I asked, still not getting the point.

"But, when her son Kouji was born, but this something had come up three or four months after his birth: you. We had wanted orignally Kouji to have Ice, but when we realized a not-so-distant related girl, you, was born, we ended up choosing Kouji to gain the prowess of Light. The reason? Because we wanted to continue the tradition of female ice digidestined."

"Does that mean....my mother was the separated fraternal twin?"

She nodded, "Yes. If it freaks you out, I understand. It's quite scary when you realize your mother was related to somebody you have heard about, but never thought you had a relation to family-wise. But, since Sen is your aunt, that make Kouji....your cousin."

Nodding with an understanding, I just stood up and looked around, wondering if there was anybody I could tell this discovery to.

*Dun dun dunnnn.....* Yeah, I felt like causing huge drama...^^ Sen's gonna be pretty shocked when she learns she has a niece.

~*~Sen Kinomoto[The dawn of a new world is near....The dawn of a new truth is here.]~*~
I remembered that Ark had a speech to give tomorrow, and I planned on going. That is, if Kouji was out of a coma by then. I layed my head over my arms, folded on the bed near my son's head. I had remembered the last time I was like this, when Kouji was about a day old in the hospital, and I held him for the first time, which he was to stay for another day or two.

....Flashback....Sen is 22...
I sighed with relief, my head sweating after the moment of truth had come when I had to name the son I had. I wasn't even married, but my fiance, Kenji Hikazu, had already planned that the first kid would be of the last name Hikazu, I wouldn't change it even if he decided to leave me behind.

"I have no name in plan..." He replied, rather lazily, "What about you?"

"All I had planned for a son was Kouji....but I knew you had a rival of that name, hopefully you don't care." I said, rather nervous about what he said, my engagement ring's diamond flushed lightly.

He snorted angrily, "I knew you loved that bastard, didn't you?!? That's all you really want to do...raise our son to grow up and be like you, probably be gay, and piss me off, ending my family name once and for all?"

"But Kenji....That's not what I had in mind...." I snapped back, rather sadly, tears starting to build up in my eyes.

"Well, be that way! The engagement is over for good!" He shouted, hastily throwing off his own engagement ring, and it had landed right at my son's forehead. He cried in anxiety, as his father stormed off after the nurse told him to never come back, and probably go and register for anger management classes. I cried, trying to keep myself calm, before the nurse walked to my side.

"Are you okay, Ms. Kinomoto?" She asked, when I put the engagement ring of mine Kenji had left behind in her care.

"I'm fine....You can have the ring...." I replied, sadly gazing into my son's deep blue eyes. I felt sorry for my son, who would have no father, "I just can't believe he would leave me and his own child behind like that."

"It's what some men do..." She said, plaxing the ring at a stool away from me, "But anyway....do you have a first name for your son? Since he is going to be a Hikazu like his father, I guess the surname scandle is settled."

I thought about it, but still liked the only name I could think. He seemed to look like he would be an alright boy, but the name that caved into my head came to mind first, "Kouji. Hikazu, Kouji." She nodded slightly, and left the room for a moment. I was left here, with only my little Kouji, who at the time, clutched one of my fingers with a small hand, and looked up at me, somewhat nervous.

"It's alright, Kouji..." I told him softly, placing a hand on his head in remorse pain. I smiled slightly down at him...I would raise him well, because he was my son and mine only....for now, that is.

.....End Flashback....[/I]

I sighed at this thought, remembering all that had happened. My D-Scanner shone in the light, which was a keepsake ever since I was 15. Nobody but Kouji and any former digidestined had any clue about it. Putting it away as I heard footsteps approach the room, I looked to see Dr. Masomito once again, slightly sighing with news, by the sounds of it.

"Yes...? What is it...?" I asked, rather nervous.

"Well, Ms. Kinomoto, it seems for 14 years, you never knew you had a niece. The girl is Rider, Laura...and seems to be in a coma almost exactly like your son Kouji is. Since you knew you had a fraternal twin sister, you never knew you had a niece."

I placed my hands over my mouth and gasped, I had a niece? My fraternal twin sister, my parents told me about, but the niece opart I never knew about not one bit. I put my hands down back into my lap, nodding slightly, 'Who has custody of her?"

"It seems her two uncles aren't in Japan, her father is deceased and her mother doesn't care about her anymore. So...I guess once we work it out in court, hopefully you have her legal custody."

"If she has relations to me and/or Kouji, I promise I'll care for her, unlike my sister I never knew..." I replied, feeling rather sorry for this Laura girl. I wondered if I should tell Kouji if he had a cousin? Maybe, just maybe if he was in the Digital World too...Laura could tell him for me.

I didn't go back to Kenichi, for some reason. I felt I needed to explore. And, I was still hungry. I walked up and down the streets, looking for somewhere to eat. Something sweet sounded appealing...

I wondered where Hoshimon was, too. Every time I thought of her, my heart broke. I knew that she, too, had places she needed to be. But I didn't want people to think I was evil again. I didn't want to be alone, again... Now that I had the attention and care of the group, I was a little addicted. I couldn't stand Kenichi or Laura not caring for me anymore.

I sighed outloud, and looked around to see where my feet had carried me now. Just my luck, as I stopped near a cotton candy shop. My stomach growled loudly, as I hopped toward it.

I walked inside, and my eyes adjusted to the color. I went up, and ordered and paid for some of the sugary-goodness. Within minutes I had the largest ball of fluff I had ever seen in my hands. I knew it would be gone within seconds, but I was happy. I looked around, and saw Laura and David instantly. I wondered to myself who else was here. I had to be on my best behavior, if Haruka was around especially. I wanted a sugar high, not more hatred and depression. In spite of myself, I grinned happily and let a piece of fluff melt in my mouth.



Someone else can take it from there...

~*~*~*~*~

I twirled around in front of the mirror again just to get another view of the campaign white gown that David had picked out for me, it looked great from every angle, with the sparkling white diamonds that glittered all over the gown it made me look so elegant, something I thought I would never look before. “So what do you think?” I asked David who was sitting in a chair acting very patient while I just kept showing off in the dress.

“I think it’s almost perfect” David replied and my face dropped, almost perfect what did he mean, suddenly he got up walked over to me, undid the braids in my hair and let it flow down my back side. “There now it’s perfect” David smiled, I blushed and looked away.

“I know, but it’s still really pricey” I told him checking the price tag on the sleeve. David looked at it and frowned and I munched a little bit on the cotton candy, ever since I caught word that there was going to be a firework celebration for us tonight, David had insisted that we come to the dress shop he even helped me pick out this gown but now it was so pricey and I didn’t want to make him pay for it.

“It does look just splendid on you doesn’t it” Some digimon said fluttering over to me for the past hour he kept bugging us and making adjustments to the gown. “If you were to have a account set up at the local bank allready I’m sure that would pay for it”

“I know, but we just got here and I’m sure my dad didn’t set up a account when he was here” I replied looking at myself in the mirror again, I really liked this gown, and I knew Satoshi would like it too.

“What’s your dad’s name maybe he did?” The digimon asked. I told him my father’s name and he went off to check on it while I sat back down and ate the last of the cotton candy.

“So who are you going to take to the firework show?” I asked placing my head in my hands on the edge of the chair, trying to put on my best question face.

“Your rich, your rich” The digimon came screaming back with a checkbook in one hand and a necklace in the other. David kindof sighed at the sudden change of subject.

“Wha?” I asked scared by the digimon’s sudden craziness, he finally fluttered down and began to catch his breath.

“Your father left a 100,000 digi yen in his account, and with interest that places it up to around 300 million digi yen, he also left this necklace for I guess you” He replied handing over the checkbook and the necklace. I placed the checkbook down and studied the necklace in my hand. Daddy had left this for me? The necklace was a long gold band with a clear pretty crystal hanging from the bottom of it. I handed it to David and he placed it around my neck and clasped it, it fit perfectly with the gown.

I picked up the checkbook and walked over to the desk and paid for the gown, ten minutes later I had changed back to my old dress and bought a pair of crystal slippers for the firework show tonight. “So do you think we have everything for tonight?” I asked him as I slung the two shopping bags over my shoulder, one with the gown in it, the other with the shoes in it.

“Almost” David smiled and walked over I followed him over to a flower stand, and he placed this halo of roses over my head, I blushed and thanked him and then paid for the roses. “There now your ready for tonight”

I smiled at him again and then caught Satoshi, Aoi, and Hawkmon out of the corner of my eye. “Satoshi” I waved at them, running over to them almost knocking off the halo of roses which I finally had to take off the top of my head, Satoshi waved for Aoi to go on as I caught up to him.

“Satoshi…I got a new dress, and well there was this firework festival tonight and well I was thinking, well wondering, if…well you wanted..to…go…with me to the firework festival” I asked him digging my foot into the ground and looking at my feet.

[Gladiator]

Hey, Morrigan tried to introduce herself to Kari. Alright, so I suck at description, cut me some slack. I'll post for David when one of the Poli-characters are posted for (Since almost all of them are in the same area). I'll post for Morgan when Nabooru posts next.

David seems to be doing his 'older brother' role pretty well. Kudos, Big Lutz (Did I say that right)

So anyone know where Kioshi is?

[Arnen]

OoC: Oh! Sorry, I need to pay better attention XD I would post now, but something's wrong with my keyboard right now (can't push enter or backspace)

[Haruko]

Aoi Watanabe["Demo donna pinchi mo haruka e toberu/Chansu ni mo kawaru Kiseki kakushi motteru"WtW]

I walked on as one of Satoshi's little friends came up to talk to him. We had caught word from a wandering Poyomon that there was a Festival tonite, and it included fireworks. We were going off to get something to wear, though Satoshi pushed just to go as normal, without any kimono or anything.

I walked with Labramon on my side, she kept on looking up at me. My hair bounced in the wind, and I kept on looking for anyother new people. I also looked for a shop that would sell kimonos-the farthest you would see me in something dressy. I found one, and found a digimon sitting in the middle of the floor, aranging sashes by the color.

"Uhh...I need to buy---a kimono.."I said, wonder what a Digimon would need a Kimono for. But I decided they collected them like a weirdo collects stamps.

"Well...You've come to the right place!And at a good time too!There's a Festival tonite, one that comes around once a year. It's about the birth of a digimon, and also about the 10 Ancient Humans!A Red kimono would suit you best..maybe some things here and there.."It was a Tentomon behind the counter, and he scramed to find pins and needles.

"I got a question though..to pay it off.Is there anything you would..need help on?"I asked the Tentomon.His eyes gleamed, and placed the needles down. Labramon layed down near the window, and fell asleep. I placed my bag right near her head, and the Tentomon came over, with a piece of paper and pen.

"I need digimon-or people- to help me with the fireworks tonite!I mean..to light them off and stuff. If you promise and write it on this paper,I'll let you have one kimono for the festivial tonite!"Tentomon said. I signed my name in Hiragana, then wrote in English that I agreed to help him tonite.

"Ok!!So..Find the stuff you want..and I'll make it fight all nicely for you!"




Satoshi-

“Satoshi…I got a new dress, and well there was this firework festival tonight and well I was thinking, well wondering, if…well you wanted..to…go…with me to the firework festival”I saw Laura digging her foot into the ground.

"I..uh..well."I examined Laura more. She was wearing her old dress,all cleaned and sewn up.Her hair was down, and she held 2 large bags in her grasp.

"You look better than the last time I saw you."I noted at her. I tried to go off-topic about the whole thing, I would much rather spend some time by myself. I have yet to tell Aoi this, and I knew I had some hardships to deal with.

"Don't get off topic."Laura said, then blushed,"I do?"

"Yeah."I smiled a little. I had to lay it on her that I didn't wanna go out with anyone to the festival tonite.

"Laura..I..well..Really wanted to go by myself tonite to the festival..."And I waited for a responce.



A Blah.A Boing.

[Roy Karrde]

Thanks for the compliment Gladiator I guess I'll go on and post Laura's since Poli left her's really open ended.

~*~*~*~*~
I tried to recover from what he just said, I didnt want to believe it, I had done everything I got a new gown and everything and now, and now I would be all alone at the festival while Jun and Laura were together, and Kenichi and Auny, probley even Satoshi and Aoi, I would just have to sit alone in my stupid dress with those stupid shoes.

"Hey look at me" Satoshi said nealing down and placing a hand next to my face. "I promise to take you out to some where really special soon, just me and you and you can look just as beautiful as will tonight"

I blushed and mouthed the words "I love you" to him, he just smiled back and wispered "I love you too" and then kissed me on the forehead. I let go of his hand and he began to walk away I turned to watch him walk away. "I'm sorry" David appologised as he put a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, could you and I go to the festivel tonight, just you know as friends?" I asked him hopeing he wouldnt turn me down like Satoshi did.

[Gladiator]

Hey, I meant to reply to the PM, Big Lutz, but I had some problems. I'll just say my parents were trying to look over my shoulder, and I'm very insecure about that stuff.

David
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, could you and I go to the festivel tonight, just you know as friends?"

AIIGH!! my mind suddenly froze up before I was able to regain my composure. It wasn't so much the prospect of taking someone younger than me to the festival, I'm very open-minded.

It's just...

"Will there be any dancing involved?" I asked, hoping against hope Cause I suck at that.

Laura gave me a look, "Well, I imagine there will be."

Ack, ERK! It was all I could do from falling on the floor like my uncle would. I felt like the entire Digital World was conspiring against me at the moment. I mean, the physical pain I endured in the beginning was bad enough, but to make me dance?!!

Alright, you caught me, I've never danced before and I'm exaggerating. I'm not comfortable doing stuff I've never done before. Formal ocassions just aren't my strong suit.

I sighed in defeat, "Yeah, I'll take you to the festival, but you'll need to teach me to dance."

Damn, I'm such a pushover. You couldn't have gotten your alone time after the festival could you, Satoshi? I hit the floor before I could finish the thought, as Laura had collided into me at high speed. I believe she had successfuly attempted in what you people call a 'glomp.'

"THANK YOU, DAVID!" she had a cheery ring to her voice now, and I found it very heart-warming. I mean I found it heart-warming as a surrogate older brother.

Well, I suppose it's worth it to see her happy. It kind of reminds me of Beth. Then I realized something.

"Hey," I tried to pry Laura off me, "you think you could help me choose a suit?"

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

As I walked past the toy-like buildings and groups of bustling schools of baby digimon bunched together, I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't exactly belong here. It was if I had snuck into a kid's amusement park, forgoing the payment. Added to the fact I was a good four or five feet taller than most of the residents...

The roads themselves were cutsy, and seemed to be made of some sort of patchwork, the "threads" showing at the edges of the street. Stores lined the road I was on, some right inside giant alphabet blocks, one imparticular in a giant Teddy Bear. The digimon all around me were bustling around with excitement, leaflets describing a festival written in both english romanji and kanji. It seemed as if we had come at a very convenient time... Or inconvenient... When was the last time I had attended a festival anyway?

My thoughts drifted as I looked through the store windows, then suddenly spotted Auny in one of the windows, devouring what seemed to be a ball of cotton candy the size of a watermelon. That wouldn't amount to much, but that was quite a lot of sugar.

I came through the door of the store, located in a block "B", and walked over to Auny. I gave her a nervous smile, and tapped her on the shoulder, interuppting her feast for a moment.

"Enjoying yourself?" I asked lightly, my eyes twinkling in amusement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Short post... You can take over here Anni

[Toxicity]

Meh...Gladiator, don't worry. You're not alone. My parents sometimes try to look over my shoulder a lot, giving me insecurities.... :/ At least they're both gone right now.

~*^*~Laura Rider - Ice["Discomfort endlessly has pulled istself upon me...distracting, reacting. Against my will I stand beside my own reflection, it's haunting, how I can't seem..." from "Crawling" by Linkin Park]~*^*~
I noticed the other Laura, Satoshi, David, and Haruka nearby what looked like a store....a store for what?

"The store..." Arwen said, "Is for kimonos. Tonight is a festival, celebrating the 10 Ancients, the two spirits of the first 10 digidestined's combined, and the dawn of a new digimon."

"So...should I get one?" I asked, slightly confused.

"Probably," she replied, "You don't really need to, but it's optional."

I nodded slightly, standing up and walking towards the store carved from a large block the other digidestined were gathered near. Digimon here and there bustled around, argued, and bribed each other. Sighing, Arwen leapt onto my head, before I headed into the store. I looked around, as a Tentomon was taking a piece of paper to the front counter and a girl was choosing out a kimono.

"Welcome!" The Tentomon greeted me in a rather high-pitched buzzing voice, "I'll be with you in a few moments." Nodding, I waited patiently, Arwen sitting on my head.

"Don't worry, I know him...." Arwen whispered to me, brimming with some confidence.

"You...do...?" I asked, trembling with anxiousness. I gulped, "You worked...with him...once..?"

"No," she replied in her whisper, "I knew him from when we were younger. We were friends. Don't worry, I can help get a kimono for you."

Nodding, and turning from the paper, he asked, "How can I help you?" I trembled slightly, nearly about to pass out with worry.

"My partner here would like a kimono." Arwen said for me, leaping off my head and stepping closer to him by about an inch or two, "For tonight, that is."

He nodded to my partner, then walked towards me, and with his wings, floated around me. Arwen stared, slightly confused, before the insectoid stopped and looked up.

"Hmm...By your eyes and hair, I believe a deep blue would suit you perfectly. Along with a black or silvery gray sash." Smiling, I nodded to his suggestion, which sounded a rather great idea.

"How much would I need to pay, though?" I asked, rather worried that I might not have enough Digi-Yen.

He looked at me, then Arwen, "Since your partner knows me, I'll let you have one kimono with a sash for free for this festival tonight." Nodding, I looked around at all the options. I looked through the different color choices in sashes, and picked out an ebony sash. I held it against my waist, then slightly wrapped it around. It fit perfectly.

Now for a kimono....in general... I said to myself, holding the sash, and looking through the choices of blues. Lesse: Sky blue, too bright; Baby blue, Ugh.....Prep color; Light blue, not really interested; Ocean blue, Not really; Pure blue, boring; Sapphire blue, a little too light.....aha! Deep blue at last!

Smiling, I placed the things at the front counter and went to find a hair piece of flowers. The sakuras looked beautiful, but didn't go with my kimono. I found one of a dead-looked black rose. It looked beautiful and fragile, but seemed perfect. Nodding at the find I had made, I took the hairpiece at the front where he was totaling up the kimono and sash. I placed the hair piece down on the counter, and he smiled.

"One hair piece?" He asked, slightly sweating. Nodding, I checked through the 1,500 digi-yen in my pocket, "That would be....500 digi-yen." I placed the total down, as he placed it without greed inside the cash register.

"Well, I guess....I'll be going...." I said, as I looked down at the things.

"Not yet," He said, slightly confused at my slow rush, "We still have to fit you into this..."

Feeling confused and stressed, I leaned over the counter and sighed. My vision looked slightly blurry for a moment, as I seemed rather dazed. Hopefully....this wouldn't mean I'd pass outon the floor...

=*=Kouji Hikazu - Light["*point* Hideki. *point* Hideki. *points at many things* Hideki! Hideki! Hideki! :D" -Chi from Chobits]=*=
I kept wandering aimlessly around the tree of rainbow leaves, wondering about Laura's prescence and where was she. I stared at my digi-egg, hopefully it would hatch soon, wherever my temple was. My mother had told me about this place once....Primary Village, where all digimon start out. I shrugged, sitting underneath the tree, feeling relaxed in the shade. The sun kept sinking westwardly, soon nightfall would come, and the 'festival' these digimon were talking about would start.

I didn't need any sign, Laura was probably buying a kimono for the heck of it, or something like that. From what I see, I'm not in love with Laura. She's like a friend to me, maybe even more....possibly like a sister or a cousin to me. But it didn't matter now. All these thoughts consolidateed inside my mind, as I felt blank. Nothing was on my mind, my thoughts, my dreams, or even my worries right now...I just felt like I wasn't there anymore.

"Enjoying yourself?" Kenichi's voice asked me. I had eaten most of my cotton candy, but the amount left was still quite a lot. He looked both amused and nervous, and with good reason.

"WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" I yelled in his face, then, at his expression, cracked up laughing. "You should see your face! Oh..." I took a deep breath and gulped down another piece of fluff. "Hi Kenichi." I grinned.

"I think you've had enough," replied Kenichi, but he seemed to be laughing, too.

"No, no..." I groaned. "One more piece." Before he could replied, I crammed the entire fluff ball into one, less large ball and stuffed it into my mouth. I smiled widely, once it had melted down enough that I could swallow it.

"Right... then," He said, in some disbelief. I giggled. "Have you heard? There's a festival tonight..."

I cut him off with a nod. "I... er, overheard David and Laura talking about it before they left. You going?"

He shrugged. "I guess."

"GREAT!" I exclaimed, louder than I had intended. "Let's go!" I took him by the hand and ran out of the store, dragging him after me. The Digimon inside watched us leave with amusement.

"It's tonight, you know..." Kenichi said informatively.

"I'm not talking about now... Shopping, duh!" I giggled good-naturely again. "I mean, it's all formal and all... I don't have a dress and I have a sneaking suspicion you don't have any kind of tux..." His look confirmed my suspicions. "Ready then? Get set... go!" I took off running, Kenichi following me at his own pace. With the sugar, I was like a little kid again. I was a kid and Primary Town was my perfect Toyland.

-=-

We went our seperate shopping ways, for a while. After an hour, he came back a little worried (as I had been spending, as he said "it's not healthy to spend this much time looking at shoes"). I had instantly found my dress. Two parts: The first one was an icy sapphire blue long dress with straps. Over it, went a long, black, see-through, small-rose designed Asian-collared dress that zipped in the back, making the blue underneath seem much darker. It was incredibly tight, but I hoped that it was only because of all the cotton candy I had just eaten.

I was much calmer now, but still just as happy. I finally found some black spiked (ouch) high-heels. Shopping makes me all excited, but finding what I want made me even happier.

As Kenichi still hadn't found any sort of formal outfit, I went over there to help. Like all the other stores, this store was splashed with colors, but still found a way to look elegant. And it was big. I even allowed myself some spinning time. Halfway across the store, I could barely see David and Laura.

"Pink!" I squealed, running over and picking out one tuxedo.

"I am not wearing pink..." Kenichi muttered defensively behind me.

"Of course not." I laughed. "But still. Pink!" I shook my head in dismay. "Crazy." He even started chuckling to himself, as I slowly moved away and started looking over the rest of the stuff.

"How about blue?" I asked after a while, pulling out one.

"I think that's black." He replied, examining it closer.

"It's midnight blue. Ain't it great?" A bit too American there, Aunyailia, my mind cautioned itself.

It wasn't long before we both got a bit tired of shopping, but, luckily, we had both gotten our outfits. I examined the leaflet of the festival and quickly memorized when it would be. It was only in a few hours...

~`~`Kari [Lalalala...]`~`~

"Know me?" I asked, startled. I looked up and saw a girl with long black hair and green eyes, Morrigan, I think her name was. "Umm, I don't think so..." I said.

"Really?" she said, blinking, "You look really familliar..."

"Maybe you've seen me around school or something?" I suggested, feeling slightly akward since I was having such a conversation with someone (or any conversation, for that matter).

Hey I dont know where Kioshi is, maybe he went away for Christmas or something, oh and Naboou I'm sorry Laura has neglected Kari, I'll try and get her to strike up a convo at the festivil.

~*~*~*~*~
“How do I look?” David asked putting on a serious face, we had gone through twenty suits so far and right now he was wearing a light blue one with some nerd glasses that he had made from somewhere I clapped and giggled almost kicking my feet in the air at the sight.

“You, look…cute” I laughed trying to think of the right word while David’s face dropped and he walked back into the changing room. “Oh David, I didn’t mean, I thought you were kidding” I suddenly sat straight up worried that I had hurt his feelings.

“I know” David smiled sticking his head out of the room, I laughed again and David shut the door, almost as a after thought he threw out his glasses and I jumped forward to catch it.

“And Laura scores the game winning…touchdown?” I asked fishing for the right sports word, David responded by clapping from the changing room and making crowd noises while I raised the dorky glasses over my head as if it were a trophy and paraded it around the chair.

“And here comes the amazing David” He announced making a grand entrance from the dressing room. I plopped back down in my chair with my legs swinging over the left arm of the chair and placed the glasses on my face. This time David finally wore a nice standard tux that looked like it cost a lot of money. I quickly began to clap and he bowed. “Thank you thank you” He smiled and I clapped some more.

“PINK” Auny squealed from across the room and we both turned to look at her, at this point she was holding up a pink suit in front of Kenichi.

“Let’s pretend that we don’t know her” I sighed looking away I didn’t want to be mean to Auny but she was going a little crazy.

“Laura” David laughed looking at me and I shrunk back into the chair, I quickly looked down in shame, that was the wrong thing to say. “Hey what’s wrong it was funny” David laughed tilting my head up and I smiled.

“So you want to go with the tux?” I asked, David shrugged and I told him that he could take it back anytime he wanted. He quickly changed and we went over to the counter.

“Wow it’s so pretty” I said all twinkle eyed as I looked at a golden ring with a diamond in it. “How much does it cost?” I asked looking up at the sells clerk who took it out.

“Laura, that’s a guy’s ring, it would be too big for you” David reminded me as I turned the ring around in my hand. “Plus it costs a fortune”

“I know, I was hopeing to give it to…Satoshi” I whispered turning the ring around again and David sighed and looked at me.

“Why are you buying that? If he doesn’t even care about you egnough to take you out?” He asked and I turned away from him and looked at the ring, he was right but, but I knew Satoshi loved me and he deserved the best.

“Because..he told me he..loved me, and I told him I loved him too” I said in a low voice and David placed his arms on my shoulders and gave me that comforting smile that only he could do.

“Hey if you really care about him that much then he is a very lucky guy” David smiled and I smiled back and nodded, I turned back to the sells clerk and bought the ring and David’s tux even though he argued about me buying it. Finally we walked back outside and I ran over to the same flower shop that he had bought me that rose halo thingie. As fast as I could I bought him one of those rose thingies to wear with a tux.

“Now you will be the prettiest guy there” I smiled and handed him the flower.

“Umm thanks” He laughed and took the flower and placed it gently in his bag. With a quick look at a clock that was hanging near by I realized how late it was getting.

“Hey I have to go back to my house and get ready, where should we meet?” I asked almost breaking in to a run to go back to the house in time to get ready.

“I’ll pick you up at your house” He replied and I quickly told him the address of the house Swanmon gave to me, we both said a quick goodbye and ran off in opposite directions to get ready for the festivil.

[Haruko]

Uhh..CHEESE!No...Random spasmning..taking..over..

Satoshi Takinowa["Sugiteku hibi Arikitari de hayakute Mienaku naru/Ima Jibun no iru basho ga doko na no ka Doko e mukau no ka"Haruka na Okurimono-w/An Endless Tale]

I sighed deeply as I watched Laura walk off with David. I stood behind a block with the letter "S" on it, it apparently was a store.

"Hawkmon..do you know this store?"I asked him. His face was full of smiles, it must've been somewhere with bunch of digi-girls..

"I'll be gone for a while, I'll meet you over near this block before the festival. Are you getting changed?"Hawkmon asked. I sighed once more, and looked off onto the horizon.

"No, I'm just going as is."I told Hawkmon. He sighed, and went into the block with the S written on it..I walked off, either wanting to bump into someone, or....something.

"Lopmon, can you please.."I heard a female's voice complain. The voice was close, so I started to walk faster. It was Haruka's voice, and she was here. I knew she left Las Mesa before all of us, but I didn't know she would be going here.

"Satoshi?"I heard her voice say. I then heard footsteps getting faster and faster..then I felt a body, arms landing over my shoulders..

"Haruka..."I said plainly. Lopmon looked around, and asked..

"Where's Hawkmon?"
"God knows. Probably off somewhere..flirting. Or something, I dunno."
"You know there's a festival tonite..Taking anyone?Laura..perhaps?"Haruka asked right after I finished answering Lopmon.
"I'm not taking anyone, I might just watch the fireworks.."
"There's dancing too.."
"I can't dance, so I'm not even trying."
"Oh..I might aswell do the same."Haruka sighed, her hair moving in the wind's whisper. I looked at her, and smiled. I had 2 people her now from the real world that I actually knew..

Aoi and Haruka. And now I have a Brother.

Kenichi.

"Maybe you've seen me around school or something?"

I arched an eyebrow, no that wasn't it. I recognized her from somewhere, but whatever it was didn't register.

"No," I said, turning my head. Then an idea hit me. I backed up a few steps. I moved my fingers in a gesture that looked like a picture frame.

"Okay," I muttered, "This is definitely familiar. Hmm, have you ever met my father?"

It was her time to look confused, "...No, why?"

I frowned, "Well, my father does paintings, and I definitely remember seeing a painting that looks almost like you."

"I don't think I've met your father, and I've never posed for a painting."

This was getting me nowhere, and it was pissing me off, "Well, you don't have to pose in any of my father's paintings. He can just about draw anything from memory or description. Do you know any of my relatives? My father's name is Axehelm McCloud and I have two uncles, Ark and Jason McCloud. Do you know any of them?"

[Arnen]

~`~`Kari [Looks like her mom XD]`~`~

"Ark McCloud...?" I repeated. It sounded familliar. "I think I've heard my mom talk about him..."

"Who's your mom?" she asked.

"Her name's Arnen. Arnen Alzena..." I was squinting at the ground. Yes, Mom had definitely mentioned and Ark McCloud before. She had been talking about how she went to the Digital World before. Of course, I had thought she was a crazy insane liar, but now...

[Roy Karrde]

Well mise on get this festivil under way

Laura Lutz * In a pretty outfit *
~*~*~*~*~*~
The gown felt a little bit tighter as I tried it on in front of the mirror, back home I would have never worn anything like this, other than it being a little tight, it was also way too grown up for me to wear, but this isnt home, this was the Digital World. Besides I could wear something adult and pretty for one night, even if Satoshi wasnt going to see me. I zipped up the gown and twirled around in the mirror again, and then sat down on the bed with my chin resting on my hands. I really wished Satoshi could see me tonight, it would have made this night even more special. With one last look at the clock I went back to combing my hair and slipped on the halo of roses.

About a hour later the doorbell rang and I put my red high heals on as I ran to the door, almost tripping over my own feet on the way over there. "David" I smiled opening the door he was standing there almost impatiently, he looked nice in that tux he picked out which had that rose pinned to the side pocket. "You look pretty"

"Thanks you look beautiful" David commented and I blushed looking away from him at the setting sun. "Well lets go" He added and I stepped out allowing the sun light to catch the crystals all over my gown turning them into a golden color.

"I didnt know the gown did that" I gasped looking at the beautiful golden hue that now surounded my gown. David extended his arm and I looped my arm around his and we began to walk toward the festivil grounds.

"Kari, Morrigan" I yelled as we approched the fair ground, my gown had begun to change color as the sun disapeared over the horrizon this time it was a dark blue color.

"Laura, isnt that gown a little too old for you?" Kari asked as I apporched the two, I shrugged and looked around at the different areas they sat up.

"I wanted to try something new" I said and then noticed the dance floor. "C'mon David there's the dance floor lets go dancing" I tugged on him almost dragging him toward it.

"But..but...I dont know how to dance" David tried to refuse as I kept tugging on him.

"So what, neither do I," I replied as we approched the dance floor.

The music they were playing was a type of waltz or atleast that is what Daddy called it when he used to dance with me. "Okay here is what you do" I said taking one of my hands with his, while placing his other hand on my back.

"Now what?" David asked trying to settle in the dance as I led him threw the motions, he only steped on my feet a few times, each time I winced but didnt say anything.

"Just dance slowly" I replied closing my eyes and placing my head on his chest and listened to the music as we danced slowly on

[Arnen]

OoC: Can't really post right now (trying to do several things at once XD), but, um... Has PerfectChaos even posted his form yet? Cuz if he's not gonna, I'll take Fire... I have a character in mind...

[Haruko]

Perfect Chao's never showed up, so I ended up taking the character. I did update the front page to show no LSU's/Reservations.^^

I'll post tomorrow most likely.

Merry Belated Christmas, to all those who celebrate it!

I primped myself and posed in front of the mirror in the bathroom inside my rented house. It was nice, a little cramped, but I only needed it for a short time… I looked at my eye shadow and then decided I didn’t want to risk anymore make-up. Then again, it would be easier to decide that if I had more make-up. I was ready, although, it wasn’t even time yet. All dressed up and no where to go, at least, not yet.

I sighed and started heading out, when I heard a low, rumbling giggle. Curious, I backed up, and my reflection followed my movements.

“You’re going like that?” My reflection asked me, incredulous. I just stared.

“Bien sur.” I answered.

“You should stay…” My other self blinked. “Parties are too dull.”

“I can’t hear you,” I replied, all sing-song, and stuck out my tongue at her.

“Something’s about to happen,” She giggled again. “And soon, you won’t be the only one hearing voices.” My eyes narrowed, and I turned to leave.

“You don’t just walk away from me, Aun.” She replied, her voice like ice. “You need me. Let me out... it won’t be the first time.” She added with a glint in her eye.

“Stop it,” I whispered as the doorbell rang. “Not now.”

“What, later?” She asked in response. “Who’s at the door? The one whom you love? I’d like to meet him…”

“Stop it! I won’t let you hurt him! I won’t let you hurt anyone!” I repeated in a whisper, and headed out the bathroom.

“Why don’t you at least finish the job you started? No one will suspect…” In the corner of my eye, she made a slashing motion.

I bounded out of the bathroom, toward the door, but she followed me in every mirror, every piece of glassware. Her giggle and taunting “Murderer!” followed me through the house.

“Shut up…” I froze, whispering. “I won’t hurt anyone…” I closed my eyes, as I stepped near the door. It was suddenly silent.

I opened the door, to reveal Kenichi, all dressed up. I plastered a smile on my face.

“Good evening,” I greeted, all smiles, glancing at the setting sun. “Shall we go?” I let my thoughts go away... Tonight was all about fun, right? I had just spent too much time dressing up, which is why I was late to the door...

I did not like this town…

"Well...how do I look?" I asked, staring at my dolled-up reflection...this was the closest you'd see me in a one-piece dresslong that wasn't Gothic Lolita. Arwen's eyes widened slightly as I slipped on my japanese sandals and placed the hair piece I purchased earlier in my hair. I slipped my other clothes into my bag for later, since tonight I wouldn't need them. I, myself, felt like I was staring at Vampire Princess Miyu in a way...it was strange, but it felt great.

"You look perfect.." Arwen said, smiling slightly before leaping onto my shoulder. Petting her, I nodded and left the hotel room, for I might not return until later. Locking the door and placing the key in my pocket, I walked quietly out...rather nervous. Where was Kouji and Jun? Would they surprise me themselves? Sighing, I looked around the lobby one last time, before exiting the doors and heading into the sunset...the stars glinting slightly. Hopefully, this time the light wouldn't betray me as the sun goes down...

=*=Kouji Hikazu - Light[Now mocking Miroku appearance-wise...xDD]=*=
"Well, seems nothing that bad..." I said, gazing at my black and dark purple robes and new sandals, "But thanks for the clothing." I waved farewell to the Gabumon that had lent me the clothing for tonight's festival. I thought about it...I was probably mocking that perverted Miroku on Inu-Yasha. Heh, whatever. Like it mattered to me.

I walked towards the crowd as dancing, laughter, chatter, and music filled the serene peace of the sunset. I wondered to myself about Laura's current whereabouts. With my digiegg in my arms, I just tried to pace through the crowd of digimon and a few humans, until I broke out...and the sight was different. Even more stars flickered in the sky, as the shadows of red and pink turned blue and purple. The sun sank lower as I sighed, reaching my former place under the tree.

"You were outcasted....too...?" I heard a faint whisper from behind the tree, as Laura, dressed in a new deep blue kimono with a black sash and a I hairpiece of a black rose, scooted outward and sat at my side, Arwen on her shoulder.

"Laura? What a surprise..." I said, panting with relief as Arwen leapt between us.

"Yeah...." She said rather solemnly, gazing shyly at the ground...as if she was being bothered by something deep down, probably not feeling like describing these feelings. We looked our separate ways for a second, before Laura looked back up at me.

"But have you ever thought we were....related...?" She asked, rather curious at my thoughts herself.

"No...why?"

"It's that...I've learned recently that....we're..." She said, gulping before finishing her sentance rather softly, "...cousins..."

My eyes widened at her slightly....cousins? Us? I wondered exactly how this could happen...one of her parents related to my mother? That was a rather strange thought if you come to think about it...

Me and Haruka started to walk to the outskirts of the town, where the festival was held.Me and her weren't really going, we didn't feel up to it. I was depressed slightly, though Aoi showing up helped. Haruka sometimes was like this, mainly she would wanna go.

"Let's sit here."Haruka said. We were on top of the hill, which overviewed the festival completely.Hawkmon had come back, and Lopmon and him were down at the festival, most likely having the time of their lifes.

"Did anyone ask you to the festival?"Haruka said, playing around with her D-Sense. I sighed at this, and looked up at the Sky. The star's twinkled.

"Yeah."I answered,"Laura."I halfway regreted it, but I wasn't much of a Dancer at all. I had to left feet, and I didn't wanna hurt Laura in anyway. Like stepping on her feet.

"Why didn't you go?I mean..Laura's nice enough. I think she would forget you stepping on her feet during the time."Haruka replied. I sighed at this quote, and looked for a answer.

I found none, so I had to make one up.

"I just didn't wanna go."I answered Haruka. It was a true one, but not entirely true. Part false.

"Ok..."Haruka replied."Anyway, I'm off."

"Where?"I replied to Haruka, who was standing up and brushing herself off. Haruka Looked down, and found Lopmon running up the hill. Haruka got her scooter set up, and her goggles over her eyes. Lopmon went on her head as Haruka's body aimed towards a seperate route.

"I suppose..."She replied silently,"Where ever the wind guides me."She then turned her head over, gave a wink, and rode off. I looked on untill I couldn't see her anymore, then sat down once more.

I looked down at the Dancing..Partying figures. The humans in the crowd stood out more than the digimon. I looked around for Laura in the crowd, and it led to a quick frown..

'Look's like you're losing your girl.'I heard a voice in my head. Mine, but it gave me a cold chill. I looked next to me, and found a shadow of myself. One with lips moving.



Aoi Watanabe["Kabe o kowa****e todokitai/Daiji na itami e"Beyond[Minoru & Yuzuki Song]]

"Lemme just close shop, and I'll be right with you."The Tentomon said, walking out of the back of the store. There was a girl in the front before, and I wished to meet her, but I was busy putting the fireworks in the little Golf Cart's trunk outside. It was a little hard moving in the Kimono, but when I didn't move much, or at all, it was so comfy. The silk rubbed against my skin to smoothly, it felt like A feather.

"Aoi, you look soo prettyy.."Labramon adored me as I completed a 360degree circle, modeling the kimono. My hair was down, but I still looked elegant. I smiled at Labramon as I use the clip on the top to attach it to my sash.

"Thanks."I said.Tentomon came to the back once I heard the door slammed and locked fully. We all went out the back door, locked it, and went on the golf cart. I had to drive it of course, since I had fingers...

"Thanks again. I was borrowing it from a friend of mine, just to look at it. I can't really drive it."Tentomon said. He sat on the roof as He pointed the way for me to go. I actually drove it well,for a first timer. We made the destination, and began to unpack the boxes onto the area.

"I'll be back. I have to do something...Labramon,can you come along?"Tentomon asked. Labramon nodded yes, and walked off with Tentomon. I sat on the back of the golf cart, sighing a lite sigh.

"Huh?Anyone there?"I asked myself, looking around. I had gotten a cold chill, and that normally signals off that 'Someone it coming'.

I then looked next to me, and almost fell off the cart. It was a figure of me, her eyes the same, the hair, the same. Her clothing was different, she was adorned into a crimson colored Chinese Silk Dress. But her presence gave a cold chill. Almost instantly, a Dark mist rolled off her..

She placed her hand on her head, scratching her scalp, like she was thinking. She then stopped, and Placed a Evil smirk on her face. Her hand reached over to my Sash, and detached my D-Sense..

"I'll be borrowing this. After, I gotta decieve my enemy..and your lover."She smiled, and walked off. The black mist disappered as soon as she grabbed my D-Sense.

And she went off, and not one comment from me.

~*~*~*~*~*~
"He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not.." I continued to repeat the two phrases over and over again as I picked away at the flower pulling the petals off and letting them fly off into the wind.

"Anyone in particular?" David asked as we both settled down on to the blanket which we had set up on a hill that over looked the soon to be firework show.

"What do you think?" I blushed and he laughed and did a one arm hug as we sat side by side with each other. "David I just wanted you to know, that I'm really greatful that you took me to the festivil"

"Well I'm glad you went with me, I didn't want to go alone" David smiled and I settled in under his arm, and just thought about home.

"David, I'm really lucky to have a friend like you" I said looking up at him, for a second we just looked at each other and I slowly moved in to kiss him and then I realized what I was doing and turned away blushing "I'm sorry, I'll be right back promise" I said and ran off, mentally kicking myself for being so stupid.

I didnt know where I was going and probley ran past half the group, when I did realize I was lost I studied my suroundings and realized that I was near the fire work area that was when I spotted Satoshi's friend...Aoi I believe her name was. "Aoi, hi" I yelled waving to her she rolled her eyes and went back to work as I walked up next to her.

"Hi, your Satoshi's friend right?" I asked peering over her shoulder as she worked on the firework display one of the first things I noticed was that she didnt have a D-Spirit was she not a chosen one?

"Very close friend" She corrected me as she continued to work at the fireworks. She seemed very determined to work on the fireworks which was a trait you had to admire.

"Well I just wanted to know if when Satoshi kisses some one...does he ever change I mean like how he treats the person" I asked, Aoi stopped working for a second and then picked up again.

"I wouldn't know, and why should you care?" Aoi asked her pace quickened on the fireworks almost to being frantic.

"Becuase back in the next town, we had gotten very close and then he..kissed me" I said in a low voice, Aoi stopped again and looked at me with a questioned look on her face.

"You mean like a peck on the cheek, a friendly kiss right?" She asked and I shook my head.

"On the lips, like in the movies" I replied and she went back to work. I paused for a second and debated asking my other question and then finally asked it. "Is there a favorite food Satoshi likes? I mean I want to do something nice for him and make him something he likes like a good girlfriend"

Aoi laughed and it wasnt a good laugh or a funny laugh it was a suprised sarcastic laugh. "This young child is Satoshi's girlfriend?" She muttered underneith her breath, causing me to look myself over was did everyone judge me becuase I was only ten well eleven.

"Pizza. If anything Japanese orientated, he likes Wasabi on his sushi, he also likes Okonomiyaki" She added and then looked at me with a evil/annoyed glare. "Now please leave I have alot of work to do" She added shooing me off. Maybe Laura or Kari could help me a little more than she did or maybe Haruka if she wasnt still mad at me for supporting Auny.

Yami Laura
----------------------------
I stretched, it was good to be alive and to well be here on this day when these group of humans were just right for the picking, the lonelyest one I zoomed in on, it was a boy...Satoshi, he was close to my counterpart, I began to absorb both of their memories. Yes I could use this, I appeared behind him and changed my outfit in to the most hurtful outfit I could find in his memory with the blink of my eye.

"That should have been me down there, kissing her" Satoshi wispered tears running down his cheek as he watched Laura and David almost kiss.

"Oh but it wasnt you, girls are tricky that way, they love you one moment then hate you the next, how does it feel to be hated by the girl you once thought you loved?" The other Satoshi taunted the evil Satoshi, the good Satoshi just sat there transfixed on his old girlfriend.

*Get out of here* I told the evil Satoshi privatly he shot me a angry look and then turned back to the good Satoshi.

*I have buisness here you little twit* The evil Satoshi replied privatly finally getting up and walking over to me. *Make it fast* He said before walking off.

"Hiya Satoshi" I laughed placing one drunken arm around him, I knew this dress the one Laura had worn when she got drunk at Las Mesa hurt Satoshi, and seeing Laura like this was even worce. Satoshi turned and looked at me all wide eyed.

"Not again, not again, please" He begged as I slid down next to him, finally laying my head in his lap and looked up at him so that he could see all of my outfit.

"Why Satoshi I thought you liked me like this, you created me remember?" I asked him running my finger over his lips, he twitched away trying not to look at me.

"I.." He replied his tears falling on my head his eyes tracing Laura's movements near the stands down below. I grabbed his face forcing him to look at me.

"When you kiss her you think of me, when you touch her you think of me, admit it, I am everything that you want Laura to be, you may try to believe that you like the sweet innocent Laura, but in reality you just love the bad Laura" I taunted and he just shook his head, I jumped up and placed a finger on his nose pushing his face to follow me as I walked away.

"Just give her one drink and I will return" I laughed and walked off disapearing into the night.

"Pfft.Took her long enough."The shadowish figure took form.He was an exact carbon copy of me, except for the clothing, and that he didn't have glasses."You can't see a thing without those, can't you?"

I looked down to the ground, thinking about what happened...Who was that?She looked like Laura when she was drunk, but...Laura was down there, dancing. With David. The copy of me sat down, and looked at the sky..

"Can't really see a damn thing, everything's a blur."He said, and looked at my glasses,"Mind if I borrow?"

"Uh..No.."I replied, but to late. He snatched my glasses, and everything quickly became a blur.I reached my hands out to try to see if he was hear, but he wasn't..

"Hey, oh yeah."The other me replied. I felt vibrations coming from infront of me. I swiftly moved my head around to find a blur opf my body.

"Don't try to attack me. I would be able to counter everything."He replied. I felt vibrations on the ground, he was walking closer to me. I soon felt his hand searching in my pocket, and I felt something was gone..

"Need this."The other me took my D-Sense, and I felt him run off. I closed my eyes slightly, and tried to crawl slightly down the hill, and near a tree,or something I could possibly lean on.I soon found something cold and hard, rough yet smooth. A rock! I leaned my back on it, and closed my eyes slightly.

"Great. A Person can take my glasses, and disable me...Fun"

"God,that boy can't even see without these stupid glasses."I kept on touching the rim's of his glasses. They felt cold, like a metal material."Sorta makes me feel bad I had to take them."

"Nah."

I looked around at the festival's party-ers.Some humans, but I felt Satoshi didn't really know them as well. Some digimon too, but nothing big.I looked around for one person, one person I knew he cared for a lot in this group of Misfits.

"Laura."A Cold whisper erupted from my mouth. I gave a evil smirk as I looked around for her. I got continous look's from various digimon, but heh.

"SATOSHI!"I felt weight baring on me. The goodie goodie's glasses tilted as I fell to the ground. I looked at the figures face. Speak of the devil.Laura.

"Oh, just the person I was looking for."I said, with a hint of anger in my tone. She looked at me as I sat up, dusting my self off.

"Are you ok?Or anything..?"She asked. Just the question I wanted to hear.Here was a way to start destroying my double's life.

"Now that you mentioned it..What the hell were you doing with David?"I asked her. Her eyes danced around, like she was looking for a answer,"Simple to put it, Why did you almost kiss him?"

"I..didn't mean too. I caught myself."Laura replied. Good reply, I had to think a little for a comeback.

I stood up, and Looked at her. Almost made me feel bad.Almost.

"Listen, between me and you...It's over."I simply placed no effort into it. She got up, and looked at me straight in the eyes. I was easily decieving her, no problem.

"You don't mean that, you've said stuff like that before. But you came back!"She smiled. I readied up my hand, and quickly..

SMACKKK!! The noise could be heard from a distance.She placed her hand up to the red spot on her face, where I slapped her. Tears started to come out of her eyes..

"Just listen to me, b*tch. I never liked you, and never will. Just stop bugging the hell out of me, and leave me ALONE!"I yelled at her. She stopped, and I casually walked out on the sobbing girl..

"1 down, 1 more."I stated, watching the star's as I walked.

"Kenichi."

OoC: I edited my form a bit; nothing major, really, but...

~`~`Kari ["All that was good has died..." Down With the Sickness, by Disturbed]`~`~

I hadn't even bothered to dress up all fancy. Mom never wore kimonos anyway, nor did she make me. I didn't like them that much, too girly, and they were inhibiting. I had worn a plain black shirt and flares to the carnival. Yep, jeans and a T-shirt, nothing better...

SMACKKK!!

I heard the smack, I saw Satoshi, I saw Laura with the red mark on her face... But I didn't believe it.

"Satoshi?" I whispered bemusedly. Why would he, of all people, do something like that to Laura? "He's dressed differently!" I realised. And it looked as if his glasses were bothering him... But they shouldn't, should they? They didn't look new... Something was up. "I'll be right back," I said to Morgan, standing and walking after Satoshi. "Why did you do that?" I demanded, running around in front of him and preparing to shift into a fighting stance. Who knows, he was acting weird, and if I had to fight him to knock some sense into him, well...

Hey Jun/Kioshi is having a problem with his keyboard so I believe Gothic has agreed to take over Jun till he can get it fixed.

Laura Lutz * Very Hurt and Confused *
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Why did you do that?" Kari asked standing between Satoshi and I in a fighting stance, my mouth filled with blood from where I bit my tongue and my cheek felt like it was on fire, worst of all I had just lost Satoshi the one person who I told everything to, and I had no idea what I did wrong.

“Laura get out of here” Kari warned taking a swing at Satoshi who side stepped the attack easily, Satoshi laughed and let his glasses fall off of his face.

“Let the b*itch stay, infact that is my new pet name for her little b*itch because that is what she is and that is what she will always be” Satoshi laughed and I felt myself just get ripped apart harder, did Satoshi really just string me along all this time just waiting for me to make a mistake? I should have never gone to that dance, maybe then, maybe this would have never happened. I was so stupid to go, so stupid.

“Laura go” Kari yelled and I took off running trying to not look behind me, after a while I stopped running and collapsed out of breath, panting hard I feel to my knees and began to sob again, I had just lost Satoshi, I felt like I could tell him everything and now he was gone because I made a stupid mistake.

“Who’s there?” Some one that sounded like Satoshi yelled out from behind a rock. How could he have gotten here so fast? How could he have defeated Kari so quickly? “Really I know how to defend myself,” He said in a defensive voice, but as he tried to stand up he slipped and feel down onto the ground hitting his head on a rock.

I bit my lip trying to decided what to do, my cheek still burned and my head felt funny from the hit, my tongue had stopped bleeding but it stung. “Damn it” he cursed struggling to get back up again, slowly I walked over there and helped him up, with me guiding him I walked him back up the hill and over to the safety of a shade tree. “Thank you…um, what’s your name?” Satoshi asked and I realized he didn’t have his glasses on he couldn’t see, I began to walk away when he spoke up.

“Hey please don’t walk away I don’t even know your name, I’m sorry but I cant see with out my glasses, I’m Satoshi” He said, I looked back at him with a concerned look if I told him, he, he would hit me again.

“It…it’s me Satoshi” I whispered, he realized who it was and sat straight up trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.

“Laura? Laura where are you” Satoshi asked

I just broke down crying at that point and ran over and hugged him. “Oh Satoshi, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, please don’t leave me, please don’t leave me, your all I have” I begged him he seemed very shocked at this and tried to touch my face causing me to jump back. “Please don’t hit me again, please I said I didn’t mean it please”

Satoshi started to cry at this point and quickly wrapped me up in a hug “I wasn’t going to hit you, I would never hit you” Satoshi promised and I slowly stopped sobbing, and slowly, very slowly I began to sit back up in front of him. “Here, now slowly where are you hurt and who hurt you” Satoshi asked touching my face with his hands to wipe off the tears and I moved his right hand to the spot that he had hit me before.

Very very softly he began to touch the flesh at the bruise and feel around at it causing it to bleed a little, which trickled over his fingernails. “Who did this to you, I’ll kill them” Satoshi said in a very angry voice, I shuddered; this was the maddest I had ever seen him before; I just closed my arms around him and hugged him again.

I began to answer but the first big bangs of the firework ceremony started and I decided to just sit back next to him and watch the fireworks. “I wish I had my glasses, this is the first time I would have been able to see fireworks in a long time, I guess I will just have to settle to watching it” Satoshi sighed, I looked at him for a moment and then turned back to the fireworks.

“That one over there, it’s blue and green and all sparkly, and then there is that one that looks like the Pepsi symbol, and that one is all pink with another one exploding in the middle of it” I continued to describe the fireworks, taking his hand and pointing it in the direction of the firework, I kept on doing this till my throat was dry and continued on until I started coughing, that was when Satoshi asked me to stop and we sat there in a long silence.

“I-I know you might not want me to ask this, but I saw you kiss well almost kiss David, why would you do that? In a relationship the girlfriend isn’t supposed to go kiss another boy” Satoshi asked and I began to scoot away, I prepped my muscles just in case I did have to make a run for it, I mean the last time I talked to him about this he..he got so mad.

“I, I made a mistake, I don’t know what came over me, but I realized that the only person I wanted to kiss…was you” I whispered he sat back and smiled, I waited for the hit to come, but it never came and I slowly sat back down next to him. “Did you call me your girlfriend?” I asked and he nodded I smiled happily and laid my head down in his lap.

“You know when I was young, my dad he would sing to me at night when things got really bad with mommy, I-I miss that” I sighed closing my eyes.

*3rd Person mode *

Satoshi sighed looking down at Laura who was slowly going to sleep in his lap, although he couldn’t see her he still could feel her stir as she tried to find a comfortable position where the bruise wouldn’t hurt so badly, he leaned back up and off in the distance he could swear he could see the last remnants of the sun as it sank over the horizon

“Zutto zutto issho ni iru to Ano yuuhi ni yakusoku shlta kara” he sang softly, almost at a whisper, he noticed Laura began to relax, her breathing softened so he continued on.

“Ima sugu aitai Sono kimochi o Onegai tsutaete ne

Yami Aoi

"First stop, Satoshi."I said, walking out of where my counterpart was. I decided not to collide with the group of twits, but walk around them. I had to walk around the town though, through some alley ways.

"There."I smiled slightly, catching my target. The only differenct was that he had no glasses on, and Aoi knew he couldn't see without them. My voice being the same as her's, I would easily decieve him. He seemed to have company though.

I walked over to where I spoted them. The young girl was asleep, but Satoshi's eyes were wide awake, trying to look at the sky.I went infront of him, and prepared my voice.

"Satoshi?"I asked him. My voice came out exactly like Aoi's."Can I talk to you, in private?"

"Aoi?Sure."He slowly got up, and Placed the young girls head on the floor.She woke up, and looked at Satoshi, who know held my hand. I had to make sure not to loose him, He couldn't see a thing.

"Where are you going?"She asked. Satoshi smiled, and looked at me, although all he could see is a blur.

"I'm just going to talk to Aoi in private for a couple of minutes.I'll be back."He smiled as he replied.

"Aoi..did you get changed?You were in a Kimono when I last saw you.."The young girl asked.
"I got changed into this."I plainly replied. We walked off slowly, with Satoshi holding my hand. He sometimes fell, not on purpose.

"Here we are."I told him, and patted his shoulder to sit down.

"So...what is it that you wanted to tell me?"He said, leaning against the huge, oak-like tree I brought him to.I looked at him slightly, and whispered under a cold breath.

"Ai"The only thing that Aoi could perform was usefull.Ai had the power to decive the mind's senses into thinking the opponent into loving them. It could last for a while, to only ten minutes.

His eyes were entirely pink, well, besides the pupil being there.He looked like a sick puppy dog. I gave a evil smirk off, this
really would help break of the two, Laura and Satoshi.

"Aoi.."His voice said sweetly. I leaned over to him.

And we shared a enjoyable kiss(A French kiss at that.).

"I hope Satoshi is ok..."I muttered as I scooted off. The star's twinkled on the night canvas. Lopmon sighed litely.

"I bet Satoshi is ok!No worry Haruka!"Lopmon replied. That was a relief, although sometimes, Lopmon wasn't right.

"Let's take a pit stop."I said, as we came to a Forest Area.I placed my goggles back on my head, and I folded my scooter up.

'I bet right now, Your little cousin's betraying his girlfriend.'A Dark voice said in my mind. I looked around as the voice gave me a cold chill.I looked up, at a tree branch, and I got the ultimate cold chill.

The figure jumped down, and looked me exactly in the face."The only mortal in this world.That must make you lonely."

"It's also one of the reasons that you don't stick with the group of Misfits.You're afraid one of them will kill you."She replied. My eyes went wide at what she said. It was all true.

I was the only human in this world who could die. And that sentence stroke horror in me. My whole body froze up.

"Your lucky I won't stab you right here...Well..I guess you could say I was going to 'back stab' you..But.."

"Blazing Ice!"Lopmon yelled. The dark me suddenly froze in her track's."That should stop her for now, Haruka."

"Haruka, you know that I wouldn't let anyone kill you."



[color=sky blue]Yami Satoshi

I grabbed my counterpart's glasses off the ground and placed them back where they belonged. Damn Satoshi and his poor eyesight.

"Why did you slap Laura?" 'Kari',as they called her, asked me. I looked at her slightly, and gave a little laugh under my breath.

"Because, it's fun."I replied,"Actually, It's quite fun to sometimes carry someone on a lie, then you back stab them."

"Pfft.I don't have the time of day to mess around with you."I told her. I started to walk past her slightly..

[Thargor]

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

The night air whipped at my hair, which had decided to thwart the efforts of my comb by sticking out in several directions. I let a sigh escape me as I gave it one good tussle so it would settle in the fashion it had adopted in the Digital World. My dark blue suit was of a fashionable cut, something I probably wouldn't have chosen in a hundred years... But at the very least it was comfortable, and wasn't that constricting to my movement. If push came to shove, I could even dance in this get-up, one of my previous foster parents having an odd fetish for classic dance.

Walking up the path to Auny's little toy-like house, I couldn't help but feel a bit better. The air was cool, my skin was clean from a shower, and I had some friends here that I could seemingly depend on... All I had to look forward to when I got to the real world was being shuffled between more foster parents until I reached 18.

I pressed the doorbell lightly, and waited patiently at the door. The sound of feet was muffled by the walls, but I could clearly tell Auny was coming... Though it was taking her awhile, her footsteps at times erratic.

Auny came out, a smile plastered to her face. She had makeup on, her hair was done, and her new dress, dark blue like my own was draped over her frame.

"Good evening. Shall we go?" She asked anxiously.

I nodded to her. "Alright then, I think I know the way..." I hesitated for a moment. "You look very nice by the way."

That illicited a laugh from Auny. "Thanks, seems you followed my suggestion about the suit." She tugged on the collar, and smoothed it down.

I put out my arm, and she took it. As the air around us became totally dark, and the town brightened the area for the digimon we talked as we looked around. Banners, signs, streamers, all were over the town getting ready for the big main festival.

Our pace was somewhat slow, due to the fact Auny was walking with a slightly subdued look to herself. It was as if something was bugging her, something that I couldn't figure out...

Time passed as we looked around the newly assembled stalls, as suddenly explosions filled the air. We both looked up together, as a startling managerie of color dotted the sky above us. The fireworks bloomed in odd patterns, some resembling digimon, some resembling attacks, and others just plain weird. Among the digital explosions were normal looking fireworks, which gave it a sense of normalcy.

Auny hugged me tighter as the fireworks began to go down. "Do you mind if we find somewhere to sit for awhile, Kenichi?"

I nodded my head. "Sure, sounds alright..." We had reached the edge of the grass, where the hills and trees had begun. More digimon seemed to be here watching the fireworks.

"Over there looks-" I stopped, as I saw Satoshi starting to walk by Kari. Something about the scene put me off immiediatly, but I didn't realize it until I had begun to move towards him. Satoshi was carrying himself... differently...

"Kenichi, I don't like this," Auny muttered into my ear.

I looked over to her, and patted her arm. "Looks like something is happening... You can wait here, I'll see what's wrong."

A look of deep concern, tinted with something I couldn't describe overcame Auny's face as I turned to face Satoshi.

"Ah, look who we have here! It's Kenichi!" Satoshi said, his grin a hideous parody of any smile I had seen him use. His face didn't have the same expression, his arms were moving much more assertively, and his stance was that of a young Yakuza's.

"Kenichi, there's something wrong with him! He slapped Laura, and is acting strange," Kari said, giving the boy a wide berth.

The boy's eyes became wide with delight behind the glasses. "The b**** deserved it. Now, we need to have a talk Kenichi."

"Ok," I said, my voice kept level. "First tell me who you are."

The boy infront of me looked befuddled for a moment. "I'm Satoshi! Are you as blind as me?!"

"You do not move like Satoshi, you do not act like Satoshi, and your mannerisms are suited towards that of a street thug's. Now, tell me who you are."

"Oh, I'll tell you who I am!" the boy shouted, letting a punch fly at my face. With one hand, I grasped the boy's arm, and with another I used leverage to throw him over my shoulder. The boy landed with a gasp onto his back, a stunned expression on his face. I put both hands in my pockets and kicked the imposter onto his belly. With one of my shoes on the side of my face, I slowly pressed his head down into the dirt, ready for his arms or legs to try and sweep me out of position.

"Now are you ready to tell me who you are?" I asked, as I let a more serious expression overcome myself.

"You son of a b****..." The imposter cried.

"If I had a mother, I would take offence at that," I said quietly.

Suddenly, the boy became still beneath me. A low chuckle overcame him, developing into a bellowed laugh.

"You don't know your mother, eh Kenichi?"

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~
“Sa..toshi?” I whispered slowly waking up, he was no where around, I remembered someone telling me they were going over to talk to Aoi, was that Satoshi? I stumbled down the hill in a daze and started walking toward the stands.

“Laura” The older Laura waved running over to me, with that other guy right next to her, I squinted and looked at her, I knew my hair was sticking up everywhere and I probley looked like I was drunk or something in this light. “Wow you don’t look so good”

“I just woke up” I muttered walking down the streets of the shops, the other Laura, and that guy fell into step with me, and I spotted a glasses shop, I walked well stumbled inside and bought Satoshi some glasses they may not have been his prescription but the freaky looking Digimon said that they would work for a while.

“You guys know where Satoshi is?” I asked half awake and squinting from all of the bright lights, one of them said something about seeing him walk to some area with a girl so they showed me the way and what I saw caused me to wake straight up, it was Satoshi and he was kissing that girl, Aoi.

“Satoshi” I asked shocked, he turned to look at me and his eyes went from pink back to their normal color, he looked at me and then back to Aoi in his arms, and then back and forth again, finally pushing Aoi away. “What happened what did you do to me?” He asked.

“We were talking and then you grabbed me and started kissing me like a wild man, I tried to scream and push you away but you said you wanted to kiss a real girl, I had to give in because you were hurting me” Aoi said looking shocked, I could feel the tears well up, I..I wasn’t a real girl? What did he mean by that. “Thank god you three came along, I wouldn’t be able to stop him if he went further” She added.

“Laura I would never..” Satoshi started to say I looked back at the other Laura looking for some kindof of support but she was shocked, I just threw the glasses down and ran home.

I cried and cried into my pillow, my eyes stung, my limbs ached from exhaustion but worst yet my heart was in a million pieces. Behind me I heard the door open and some one slowly walk in, I didn’t want to know who it was, I just wanted to be alone.

“Laura, I didn’t mean..” Satoshi began placing a hand on my shoulder he was wearing the glasses I bought him even though dirt clung to them, I sobbed a little more and shook his hand off, I didn’t want any comfort, not from some one like him.

“How-How could you?” I asked him, trying to calm myself down, I didn’t want to look at him I didn’t want to even be in the same room as him, so I just kept my face buried in my soggy pillow.

“Look Laura, I..” He started to say, I couldn’t take any more, I rose up off from my spot and looked at him with blurry eyes and pointed my finger right at him.

“No, you look, I’ve done everything for you, no matter how badly you’ve treated me I’ve forgiven you, no matter what you’ve done, I’ve forgiven you, but Satoshi..I-I cannot forgive you for this” I said to him in a fit of rage pointing my finger and jabbing it at him. He looked so hurt at the remarks, and I didn’t want to hurt him but, but it just seemed like the right thing to say.

“Laura please, it was just one kiss” Satoshi replied as I got up, straightened myself and walked across the room, I finally turned to face him, this time I held the tears in.

“Satoshi, I know your lying to me, I know that she means more to you than I ever will, and I just want you to know two things Satoshi: That I will never ever forgive you and” I began to cry now, the tears ran freely down my cheek. “And that I still love you more than anything” I cried, I just stood there swinging my fists back and forth.

“Laura” Satoshi sighed getting up and escorting me back to the bed where we both sat on the edge. We both just sat there for a few minutes, I sobbed, and Satoshi placed a arm around me.

“Laura, what do you want from me? What do you want me to do?” Satoshi finally asked, I wiped some tears from my eyes and looked at him, I thought for a second and finally answered.

“I-I want you to tell every one that we kissed, and I-I want you to be like you used to be, you know the Satoshi that would care for me, and kiss me, and love me, I miss that Satoshi, I just want things to be like the way they were” I told him, I decided this was the best chance as any and I through my arms around his neck and hugged him. “Please can we just go back to the way things were?”

“I-I..” Satoshi began he turned to look at me, “I want to kiss you” Satoshi murmured and our faces were just inches away from each other, he seemed to just go blank, I guess he was thinking the same thing as I was thinking because we both inched forward, we both met mid way, and we both began to kiss each other. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck and we began to kiss more and more, this time it was different than before, last time it was slow and nice, this time it was fast and furious, as if we were pushing each other to see who could kiss harder it was the most passionate thing I had ever felt, I don’t know how but we tipped off the bed. We landed on the floor and I broke from my kiss with Satoshi, we were both gasping for air and panting from the kiss, I closed my eyes and layed my head on Satoshi’s chest.

“Laura” Satoshi asked as he began to play with my hair, I wasn’t really sure if he was comfortable laying on the floor like he was but he sounded happy. “Hmm?” I asked closing my eyes.

“I love you with all my heart, you know that right?” Satoshi asked a little bit of worry in his voice.

“I know that” I replied as I began to drift off to sleep on his chest.

“Satoshi” I asked sitting up again and kissing him on the lips. “You’re the best boyfriend I ever had”

Satoshi laughed for a second and then looked at me. “I’m your first boyfriend so that doesn’t mean al…boyfriend?” Satoshi asked stunned I nodded and he settled back down and I curled back up again on his chest. “Wow I’ve never had some one call me a boyfriend before”

“Satoshi?” I asked half way a sleep. “Yes Laura?” Satoshi asked he sounded almost asleep too.

“Can we stay this way…forever?” I asked, he responded by pulling his arms around me and hugging me, as I drifted off to sleep.

I felt ashamed I couldn't help younger Laura with Satoshi and Aoi, as her name assumingly was. Satoshi ran off after Laura, and Aoi...well, Aoi looked a little pissy. I stared at the ground, somewhat sorrowful, not willing to show my face. I small tear trickled down my face, only before falling in the soft grass. I soon realized my eyes were filling up with more tears, that's when I sat and layed my head on my knees and wrapping my arms around my legs...then I began to cry softly.

Every sound began to die, and my mind stopped...only before a light flashed and settled in, a flashback five years ago or so began once more.

~Flashback, Laura was only 9~

The day was somewhat chilly for an early October day...leaves crisping, some already fallen to meet the same fate as the leaves before them did around this year. That was your normal school recess as a 4th grader in Kentucky(not hillbilly eastern, it was central)....luckily we didn't live in the northeast where New Yorkers would gather and watch the boring little leaves. Sighingly, I walked alone to the swings and took my place there...eventually, my friend Morgan took her place on the swing by mine, her piercing green eyes and light amber hair glinting in the sunlight.

"Well....are you okay?" She asked, slightly blinking. Confused, I didn't know how to reply, so I just calmed down..and replied smoothly.

"I...guess...." I replied, gulping, "I just worry about report cards."

"Ah, don't worry. They won't be sent out until after fall break." She said, even calmer than I seemed. She was right...but fall break started after school that day, and my mom said we had business to do that week.

"But still..." I replied, as a shadow appeared over us. We looked up, only to see two classmates of ours glaring at us.

"How come ya took our swings, foos?" The first, more larger and shorter one said....in his thick southern accent as if he was a hick from deep south, like Alabama or Mississippi. He formed a fist, grabbing the chains of Morgan's swing with his other hand.

"Well, how come guys like you still swing....are you wimps or gay or something...?" I asked, snapping back right at them with sarcasm.

"Ah...we ain't gonna back 'way from a diss like dat from b*tches...." The other said in minor street talk, glaring at us. My eyes widened, before my teacher and my mother approached us. The boys backed away towards Morgan, as the two adults surrounded me.

"Mother...Mrs. Jones...What is it...?" I asked quietly, rather nervous and scared of what fate was settled upon me.

"Well, we'll miss you because.....I'd like your mother to tell you..." My teacher said, before walking away, waving as if this was my last day in the school.

"Laura," My mother said, looking rather sorrowful, "We're moving to Japan...."

"What?? I can't...." I said with immediate dramatic shock, tears flooding from my eyes and my glasses slightly fogging up, "I have school to finish and thing to do, besides, I'm not that good at the language!"

"It wasn't my choice, taking you out of school now..." She said, hading me my backpack. I stared back at the swings, where Morgan was now being held up by her arms and punched while crying for me and someone to help her, tears also flooding from her eyes. This couldn't be reality...this couldn't be....Japan? Why us?

~End Flashback~

My tears stopped soon, my arms and knees felt somewhat wet with liquid, as I looked up, my glasses fogged. I took them off and rubbed the lenses with my glasses, before placing the back on my nose and lookwards Arwen and Kouji...

"You...okay...?" Kouji asked, slightly confused, sitting by me and seemingly trying to help.

"I guess I am..." I replied, looking down at my kimono. I let go of my legs, and let them lay on the ground and remain their to loosen up, "I just wonder how come I have all these bad memories, no loving mother, a dead father, fears of loneliness, and assumingly no friends...does everybody hate me?"

"Well, I guess I'll be your friend," He said, before looking towards me with curiousity, "Besides, I never knew my father. I feel half of the pain you do about your father. My mother said he left her behind at the hospital the day I was born...and left me in her care alone."

"Well...since there's nothing to do...what do you want to do?" I asked, staring back at the crowd as the sun sank beneath the edge of the horizon and stars embedded the sky, along with a pale looking gibbous moon. Torches and colored lights were among the crowd, as music of japanese instruments filled the air.

"I guess we'll see if there's anything going on at the festival that seems entertaining," He suggested, and I nooded. We both stood up, Arwen leaping onto my shoulder, as we headed into the crowd

"You don't know your mother, eh Kenichi?"I said, over all the laughing I had done. I felt his foot lighten up on pushing my face to the earth. My..I mean my counterpart's... glasses had fallen off as Kenichi had thrown me over his shoulder.

"Wha...What do you mean by that?!?!"Kenichi asked to my last comment. I stopped bellowing, and looked up. Everything was a blur, but if I squinted, I could see..meh...Not as good with the glasses...

"Get your foot off my face, and I'll tell you what I mean 'by that' "I snapped at him. He did what I asked, and I reached over for my glasses.

"First, to Introduce myself...How do I put it?"I rubbed my chin, and got exactly how to explain it to him,"I am part of Satoshi, I'm all that rage built in him."I looked at Kenichi to see if he got it in his dull brain. He seemed to got it..

"Now, on the factor of our mother.."I smirked, looking at Kenichi.

Satoshi Takinowa["Saigo ni, warau tame bokura no ima wo kicchiri aruitekou"Grip![Inuyasha's 4th Opening]]

“Can we stay this way…forever?”Laura asked. I opened my mouth to answer, but Laura fell asleep.I hugged her slightly, looking at her tear-stained face.

"I dunno, Laura..."I said to myself, placing the glasses on the table besides us. They started to bother my eyes.

I closed my eyes for a second to think..'What was Aoi thinking?I mean..I don't really remember kissing her at all, I don't remember a kiss.'

'All I know, is that I didn't start it.'I thought, then placed a picture of Aoi in my mind, one with the chinese silk dress. I tried to remember the way she walked...It wasn't very much 'Aoi' at all..

'That WASN'T Aoi!'I came up with the answer.She somewhat reminded me of that other Satoshi, the one that carried my D-Sense. The one that stole my glasses.

I looked down at Laura, and remembered the kiss we had. I touched my lips, and rubbed the saliva inbetween my pointer and thumb fingers.It was a pretty sweet kiss, to be precise.

"She's not bad."I said in a whisper tone. I felt uncomfortable without my D-Sense, but if Anyone was to find it, they would hopefully return it.

'A Little nap, then I gotta find myself(his counterpart)'I thought, closed my eyes, and went to Dreamland.

Hey since no one has given the Adult Characters much time I thought I would do this, dont worry she'll be back in the Digital World in no time, but in turn she can carry anything back for the kids that the adults give her.

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~
I was in a white room, well it wasn't really a room, it was more just emptiness a open space that went on forever, I had been here before, in that dream I couldn't remember. I turned and found Satoshi standing right behind me, I almost jumped when I saw him becuase he startled me.

"Where are we?" Satoshi asked looking around at the white emptiness.

"In my dream" I replied sitting down crosslegged

"Then I must be dreaming too, I remember closing my eyes for a nap, I really had no idea we could share a dream" Satoshi thought out loud as he joined me in a cross legged sitting. "So what do we do now?"

"I dunno, I guess wha.."I began as a strong wind began to blow from the direction Satoshi was sitting, he looked around confused as we both stood up, it seemed that he wasn't feeling the wind becuase his hair was perfectly normal while my hair was flying backwards as the wind increased. "Satoshi" I yelled as my feet began to slip out becuase of the wind.

At the last second Satoshi reached out and grabbed my hand I flew into the air with the only thing keeping me from flying away was Satoshi hanging onto me. "I can't hang on too much longer" Satoshi yelled over the noise of the wind my fingers were begining to slip through his hand as the wind steadily increased.

"Satoshi please dont let go" I yelled back at him as my fingers began to slip through his hand, only a few more inches and my fingers would be free and I would have been blown away, the wind increased one last time and my fingers slipped away from Satoshi, immediatly I blew away climbing higher and higher in the sky as a white light surounded me. "Satoshi" I screamed one last time.

“Mmmmm” I moaned moving around in the sheets, I felt weird there were beeping sounds and where was Satoshi? Did he leave me on the bed and go out? No he would have told me, and what was with that dream?

“She’s coming around” A voice said and I opened my eyes, slowly, everything was blurry nothing in focus, I thought I saw another human in the room, which was weird because there were no humans other than us in the Digital World, and the room was white? Where was I?

“SATOSHI” I screamed sitting straight up in the bed, for the first time I got a clear look around, there was a doctor next to me running checks on machines, and a woman at the door way of the room watching me, when I yelled out Satoshi’s name she seemed stunned. I looked around the room where was I? Where was Satoshi? “Satoshi where is he where did he go?”

“Calm down” The doctor said easing me down onto the bed as he began to take out my Iv’s, which caused me to wince in pain, where was Satoshi? We were kissing each other and then I fell asleep and had that dream, then I woke up here, where was he?

“You have to tell me where Satoshi is, he promised he would stay with me, where is he” I yelled grabbing the doctor by the collar. The doctor began to take out a shot but the woman walked over to him and stopped him, she then easied my arms off of him and came over to my bedside.

“Calm down Laura, Satoshi is in the other room” The woman replied soothingly, I began to relax, everything was okay, but how did she know my name?

“What happened? Satoshi and I were kiss on the floor and then I woke up here” I asked the doctor looked at the woman weirdly and she shrugged before looking back at me. “And how do you know my name?” I asked.

“It’s on the folder on the door…Laura Lutz right?” She asked and I settled back down on the bed and began to relax the next thing she said brought me back to full attention. “I’m Satoshi’s Mother, Akira”

I felt like I had just been hit by a ton of bricks, this was a horrible first impression. “It’s very nice to meet you, but can I see your son, he means a lot to me” I asked the doctor shrugged and in a few minutes I was in a wheel chair being wheeled into the next room where Satoshi was laying on a bed, asleep. “Satoshi wake up it’s Laura” I nudged him, he wouldn’t wake up.

“He’s in a coma Laura, just like you were” She said and I felt tears flood my eyes.

“Satoshi please wake up please, it’s me Laura” I kept saying even though I was crying in front of Satoshi’s mother, at any other time I would be embarrassed but right now I didn’t care, I just took his cold hand and held it, asking him to wake up over and over again.

“Hun, he’s in a coma..he’s not going to wake up for a while” Akira said trying to pull me away from Satoshi but I held onto his arm, we had gone so far I wasn’t going to led go now. “Please let’s go in another room and talk,” She said and I finally let go, allowing myself to be taken away from my love into another room.

“So, okay this may be weird, but how do you know my son? I’ve never seen you before, and I doubt my son has met you before, I mean here in the real world” Akira started and my mouth went dry, this wasn’t a question I wanted to answer, I just wanted to go back to being with Satoshi, and I wanted to eat and drink something, I was so hungry.

“He’s my..boyfriend, we’ve been dating since Las Mesa where he kissed me, last night he went to the firework show alone and ended up being hypnotized by Aoi” I said slowly grinding my teeth at that last part. “He went back to my house with me, and comforted me about everything that happened, we ended up kissing on the bed, after that I fell asleep, and then I woke up here” I said knowing that was too much information, but the one thing I left out, the dream, I couldn't tell any one about that.

She looked at me for a second as if she was going to say something and then bit it back down. “But..he’s in a coma” Akira finally said. “Where have you guys been all along?” She asked I replied that we have been in the digital world that caused even more confusion.

“The..digital world?” She asked taking out a weird looking D-Spirit, I looked back out the door longingly.

“Now if you don’t mind, I kindof would like to be next to my boyfriend’s side just incase he wakes up” I said I could feel the digital world start to pull me back in, I would be back in a coma soon, but for the time being I wanted to be next to Satoshi.

Hi, guys, I've been having technical difficulties so sorry for not posting. If someone could just brief me in what the hell is going on, I could make an intelligible post. Also, is it night or daytime?

David
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must admit I was surprised, not that I was almost kissed. My little sister kissed me all the time. I was surprised by the manner in which she almost kissed me. I mean no little sister is going to kiss their older brother on the lips.

She didn't have to apologize, she was upset that Satoshi didn't go with her. I could understand that, but I only watched silently as she ran away.

"Oh, brother," I muttered, "she's not coming back."

I got up and left. I could only assume that Satoshi would find out eventually and so I looked for him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strange, how desperate our enemies must be to create perverted versions of ourselves.

It was that familiar chill in my spine, the sense that something was corrupt. My...supernatural sense if you will. Nervously, I turned around to see Kenichi and two other figures.

One looked like Satoshi, but the cold aura that he generated told me otherwise. The other person was a girl, that looked strangely familiar. I'd have to check into that.

As I recall, Kenichi, who had guessed as much as I had, had managed to hurl corrupted-Satoshi onto the ground and was now facing the ground.

...

Now that I think about it, Kenichi should consider being a detective, he'd give Sherlock a run for his money.

Part of me wanted to do something, but I thought it would be better if I just looked on and catch bits and pieces of info.

"You don't know your mother, eh Kenichi?" Satoshi said, over all the cackling he had done. Kenichi seemed confused, if not bewildered. I had this feeling something bad was about to go down.

"Wha...What do you mean by that?!?!" Kenichi asked.

"Get your foot off my face, and I'll tell you what I mean 'by that' " Satoshi was getting testy now, but Kenichi obeyed anyway.

To say I wasn't impressed would be a lie. Whatever enemy we had would have to be very skilled to have created darker versions of ourselves. At the same time, I was dissappointed, for it seemed that these Pseudo-destined were here to play mind games.

Honestly, why can't they just bump us off and be done with it? I thought to myself.

"Well, except for one or two of you, we can't," a voice sounded as a swift punch connected with my jaw. I stumbled back from my hiding place as my attacker came out of his.

The person didn't surprise me, now that I knew what I knew, but I had to admit I was impressed with his mind-reading skill. I was also surprised that my pseudo-me was as honest as I was.

"Wait," I said, realizing, "Aw, crap!"

The darker me was dressed in similar fashion, except that he wore a black leather overcoat and dark sunglasses. He smiled back at me, a dark cruel grin.

"Yep, unlike you, I don't condone fatal violence, and I have no interest in causing mental anguish like the rest of my brethern. But since I can't kill you, I might as well cause as much pain and suffering as I can."

I turned my head to see that Kenichi was now white in the face, and that DS was now smirking like a madman. He probably said whatever he had to say.

...I turned back in time to see Dave give me a good solid kick in the jaw.

[Satoshi Takinowa][Ugh..Lost my orginal Post...]
---------------
"Laura!!"I yelled, suddenly sitting up. I looked around, and noticed she wasn't nearby. She wasn't even on my lap anymore. She either went out somewhere, or something..

"Did that wind come from me?"I asked myself as I placed the glasses Laura got for me on. I personally perfered my old glasses, these kept on slipping down my nose. They also made my eyes hurt a little bit, but atleast I could see out of them.

"I hope she only left to seemore fireworks. I would kill if something happened to her."I said to myself more as I placed my shoes on, and went outside. Closing the door behind me, I started to walk back to the firework disply. I needed to find Hawkmon and Aoi...and by that..I mean the Real Aoi.

"You don't like me?"I heard a sweet voice come from behind me. I jumped, and looked behind my shoulders. The Aoi in the Chinese Silk Dress. She was playing around with the real Aoi's D-Sense.

"Uh..Fake Aoi. You scared me for a second there.."I told her, and continued to walk. I felt her walking behind me, following me closely. She wanted something.

"I'm not betraying Laura again, like you made me do."I told her strictly. I heard her stop, and I sighed. I started to walk a little faster, and I heard her coming again. Running this time though.

"You know, I can't change your will."She replied to me. I felt her hand going up against my spine. I found it soon on my shoulder as I stopped moving. Her head was on my other shoulder, playing around with my hair.

"Then why did I kiss you?I mean, I don't remember much of it, but what from Laura claim's, I was kissing you wildly."I told her. I felt her sigh lightly again.

"You didn't enjoy it?You kissed me from your own free will. I was just assisting you. I mean, I can help you more than that 10 year old can ever do."Fake Aoi replied. I turned around to get a good look at her, and I felt her hand rub against my chin.

"You know you do. I just have to assist with those feelings."She told me. I felt my body froze up as I started to look straight up in her eyes.

"Ai"I heard her sweetly say. My head felt warm and fuzzy, and I felt out of control. I looked at Fake Aoi...

'Must..resist..'I thought, but I fell to my knee's. I looked down, and my glasses fell off. I felt like I was flying though, in a surge of happyness.I looked up at Fake Aoi, and my heart fluttered..

"Now then,"She said. I smiled sweetly to her voice. I felt my body loosen up.

"That's good, don't fight it..."She said"Now, let's find a place that no one can find us. Maybe one of these empty houses."

She glanced around, and smiled. Each house, if it wasn't vacant, had a Name Plate on the front, like a sign. There was a house among other houses that wasn't labeled, so I felt Fake Aoi's hand tightly grip onto mine, and we opened the door.

"Why don't you that your shoe's off, and We'll have some fun."She smiled. I looked at her in pure bliss.

'What am I thinking?!!?!?I shouldn't be doing this at all, I should be searching for Laura, and Hawkmon.'I thought. I looked over at Fake Aoi, and she looked like she was concerned.

"A Stronger dose, I suppose."She said. She seemed to go into deep concentration, then slowly walked over.

"This will only take a second.Then you'll never remember that Laura and the love of you too shared. Just close your eyes,and think that you want this."She said, and I followed her instructions..Like a slave.

"Ai"She said, and I fell onto my knee's once more. I felt my head go numb, like things were going to be shut away from me. I looked up at Aoi, and smiled sweetly.

"Now, no more pain. Come on."

[Akira Takinowa][?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?]
----------------
"Doctor..Can you watch what she does with Satoshi for a while?I need to rest."I asked him. I started to feel pain from my baby, she was kicking.

"Go right ahead, Mrs. Takinowa. I'll watch her while you go take your medicine and rest."Doctor Shinwa said. I smiled, but wondered how he knew that I needed to take my ibuprofen. I hope Akina didn't tell him.

I walked passed her room, and I saw her wave. I wanted to go smack her or something, but the pain kept intensifying.

"150 yen.."I whispered infront of the vending machiene in the emergancy room/waiting room. I got a Diet Cola, and sat down on one of there chairs.

"There fella, you hurt a lot, so you better be cute."I said, smiling at my belly. I felt my baby kicking slightly, it mean't she was lively.Almost a little to lively.

I took my medicine, swallowing it with a big gulp of soda. I looked at the vending machine for the prices of the candy bars...Chocolate..

I soon fel my tounge licking my lips. I stopped it, and took 50 yen coin out of my purse. I walked over, and got a chocolate bar. I sat back down, and ate it slowly...Chocolately heaven.

'I wonder how that girl know's my son?And why did she call him Boyfriend?'I thought to myself. I reached into my pocket, and took out my D-Scanner...

"Did my son..and those other children...go to the digital world?!?!?!?"

[Thargor]

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

"Now on the factor of our mother," the smirking form of the doppleganger began to talk.

Our mother? I thought to myself. I couldn't afford to trust this guy, even if he was telling the complete truth, and I knew he wasn't, a guy made out of anger wasn't going to say anything that would help matters, only complicate them. Take everything with a pinch of salt...

"Our mother," he continued. "is Akira Takinowa. You are really supposed to be Kenichi Takinowa, but guess what? Our mother gave you up when you were born because you were weak, supposed to die really."

"And how am I supposed to be this Akira Takinowa's son when Satoshi is about my age?" I asked quietly, the brief flare of emotion I had displayed a thing of the past.

"Well, here is the kicker! Me, and by 'me' I mean good old Satoshi, is your twin! Your younger twin to be exact. The twin that was kept and was lavished on by his parents, while you were abandoned straight into the world. I guess the older one isn't the favorite one in this case, eh?" He asked mockingly, his face plastered with a smirk.

I felt my face grown colder, as the information was processed. The copy of Satoshi, which indeed he appeared to be, did not have the stance of a liar, or the facial expression of one. He had looked unflinchingly into my eyes, with near to no blinking. He had not looked away from me, his hands had stayed at his sides, and his body remained relaxed. He obviously thought he wasn't lying either...

But he was created with an evil intention, and that means nothing that he thinks he knows can be trusted. He is just another form of attack on us, more subtle than the digimon they've shoved on us so far... He is a pawn... My own voice whispered inside my head.

"Is that all you have to say?" I asked. "Because I don't believe it... Even if it is true, I won't believe it until I hear it from the mouth of the actual Satoshi. And that means whatever goal you thought you could accomplish by saying that has failed."

"You think I'm lying to you?" He said.

"No, I think that you think you're telling the truth. But that doesn't mean the information is correct. It just means that you are possibly not as important as you think you are."

Satoshi scowled and took a step closer towards me. I let my body stay loose, as I gestured with one hand for him to come at me. He hesitated at that point, put off by how casually I saw him as a threat... Perhaps he was too good a copy of Satoshi... From what I had seen of him, the original didn't have much in the experiance in the ways of simple brawling. I had years of experiance.

A grunt sounded from up the hill, making my head jerk up. In that instant, I saw a mirror image of David let a kick fly at David's jaw and connect solidly. The other David was dressed in much more casual clothing, black leather with sunglasses, a stupid move during the night to wear. It seemed there were more copies than one around.

"Ha!" I heard the cry from infront of me, as I felt an impact on my right cheek. I moved with the punch, lessoning its impact on me, as I braced myself with my left foot. The Satoshi copy cradled its fist with one hand, and winced. I brought one of my fists to bear, punching upwards right below his ribcage. He let out a gasp as his air was forced out of him.

"Rookie mistake," I said calmly, twirling him around and grabbing one arm. "Inexperianced fighters always go for the head, while the experianced ones know that is the easiest way to break your own hand, with little damage actually ocurring on your opponent."

Twisting his right arm behind him, leaving just enough room so I wouldn't break it, I fell with him below me once more to the ground. He landed solidly, as I applied pressure to the arm I had. He let out a shout, then stopped as I slowly pushed more.

"Now, let's get a conversation going, shall we? This time, I'll choose the topic. How many copies are there, and why exactly have you chosen now to attack us?"

"I wish we had one of you so I wasn't the one to deal with you..." the Satoshi copy hissed beneath me.

I applied more pressure, and his body stiffened. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to be louder..."

[Arnen]

~`~`Kari [Happy New Year!]`~`~

"<Am I the only one here without an evil clone?!>" I thought, annoyed. I watched sullenly as Kenichi beat up the fake Satoshi. "<This is stupid!>" I decided and turning, I walked away.

I flopped down on a bench and looked up at the fireworks. Green, blue, red, white... I absently traced them one by one with my index finger. I heard the sounds of the fake Satoshi getting his butt kicked, but I ignored the noise.

"<I wonder if mom misses me?>" I thought suddenly, drawing my hand back as if it were burned. I shook my head. "No," I said aloud, "Why would she miss me...? She was always going on about how much of a pain I am..."

[Yami Annika]

Aunyailia Michelle
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Brother...?" I thought wordlessly to myself, watching with my head tilted. Then, panic and anxiety began to fill me, tightening inside my chest and around my lungs, suffocating me. The Yami had mentioned that there was no doppleganger form of Kenichi... Was there one for me?

"Why should there be?" A voice whispered in my ear. "As if there's any good in us... Your double would be an angel." A small, dark giggle pulsated my eardrum. "Not much use to anyone, I'm afraid..."

Did they know this, though? Would they tell Kenichi...? Or the rest of the group?

Would I be alone again?

No... No...

I looked up again, and saw two Davids in a brawl. One, the good one, wasn't in such a good shape. I couldn't do this myself... But, Kari was in her own thoughts. I couldn't bother her with these burdens. I'd have to do this by myself.

I ran, as fast as I could, over to the two Davids, whilst making an improvised prayer of my gratitude for the leg-slits in this dress. I tried to decipher which one was which... but I didn't have Kenichi's sixth sense, or whatever... I was useless.

"Let me take over," The voice whispered. "I can sense which one."

"No!" I exclaimed in my thoughts. "You'll use that, and kill the good one instead!"

"I promise you." She answered, but it was... different, somehow. "You don't have to worry."

I was riding in the wind...

"David!" She called loudly, and both turned to face her. My eyes raced back in forth between the two, and then, the David nearest to her got a face full of high heel. He doubled back, blacking out momentarily in his steps.

"Thanks, Aunyailia," the real David replied softly.

My face smiled widely, and a small giggle echoed in my throat. "Sorry I couldn't come sooner."

"You guys need any help?" Kenichi's voice called.

"Ca va!" My voice called back. "Everything's just peachy!"

There was a small laugh, and we turned back to see Doppleganger David get back up.

"Ready for another round..?" Someone asked, as I came spiraling down to Earth.

"I'm done." The voice whispered softly.

"I had to fight? In this dress?" I wondered, my wits slowly catching up with me.

I nodded slowly to myself, and got ready...

[Roy Karrde]

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I snuggled up against Satoshi in the bed and placed my head on his chest, I could hear him breathing softly, but his body seemed to twitch from time to time, evetually he started breathing harder and began to jerk around as if he was having a bad dream. I raised my head up and looked at him, he was sweating and every few seconds his body would twitch, his face look pain ridden. I smoothed back his hair and held his hand. "Everything is going to be allright" I said comfortingly. I didn't know what was happening but I could only guess Aoi had something to do with it. I had to go back I just had to. I told the doctor to go get Satoshi's mom and he left to go get her, I returned to trying to calm him down and with my free hand I started to fiddle with my necklace, my necklace? I looked down and noticed that I still had it on, I could take things back to the digital world! I jumped out of the bed turned took off the necklace and placed it into Satoshi's hand, I closed his hand and placed it over his heart, finally I leaned over and kissed him on the forehead and ran out almost triped over myself as I ran out of the room and bumped into Akira.

"I can take things back, I can take things back" I said excidedly, Akira just looked at me in confusion "See I got this necklace from the Digital World and it came back with me, I can bring things back in when I go back"

"Hold on, woah, you just got back here, your not going back, I dont want to risk it" Akira said, I just shook my head and ran back into Satoshi's room and noticed his glasses on the counter.

"He lost his glasses in the Digital World, let me just hold onto it when I go back" I asked her, she looked at me for a minute and nodded. I wanted to get back as soon as possible, I needed to help him. "If you want you can tell the other adults that I can go back with stuff, but it will have to be small, and Akira one other thing, can I have two pictures of you...to remind Satoshi of you when I go.." I began to say suddenly I grew wide eyed and began to look around the room, everything was growing huge and swirly.

"Laura?" Akira asked stepping forward.

"Catch me" I replied and colapsed into her arms, the digital world, it's pull was getting so strong on me, I was going to slip back into it soon, I just had to hang on for a few more minutes.

Yami Laura
-------------------------------
I could feel it, the stench of it, the pure evilness of it. That Yami, the Aoi one she was using Ai on Satoshi, she was going to screw up Satoshi's relationship with Laura, and if I ever wanted to come back, I had to keep Laura some what happy, and that ment screwing over Yami Aoi. With a wave of my hand I appeared in a forest next to Haruka, wearing a Japanese school girl dress, I gave my self a check over just to make sure the transportation worked. "Wow Laura, you look pretty good in this" I admired before I ran over to Haruka.

"Laura..what, how did you get this far out here?" Haruka asked, I looked at her for a second and then she began to back up next to Lopmon, she noticed that I wasn't Laura, not the real one.

"Listen I wont hurt you, I just need you to do something, your cousin that Satoshi kid, he well he is about to make a huge mistake" I warned her, Haruka eyed me for a second and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Why should I believe you, this could just be another trick, and besides Satoshi can handle himself" Haruka replied defiantly

"Becuase I'm here to try and prevent something, and when this happens it will not only effect Satoshi but it will also effect other people, people he cares about, now if your going to let Aoi screw that up, then go right ahead, but your the only one I can go to right now so please do it" I said I even squeezed a few tears out. She wasn't really the only person, I could go to Jun, I couldn't go to the older Laura though becuase she was in no state right now, and everyone else was off doing their own thing. All I could do now is wait and hope Haruka decided to go and save Satoshi.

[Gladiator]

Dave (Dark David)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cheap shot," I growled, well aware of who had kicked me. I may not be a perfect copy of David, but my superiors had blessed me with his supernatural sense.

Everyone was busy. Kari was busy with her thoughts; Kenichi with Dark Satoshi; Aunie and David with me. I could only grin that cruel mocking grin which was returned by David's scowl.

I made the first move. I turned around and bolted toward a nearby tree. I turned to see that Aunie was in close pursuit with David tailing her. No matter, he hadn't the stomach to hit me hard.

I was soon at the tree and began to set my plan in motion. I began to run up the side of the tree and followed with a flip over Aunie's head. She did not see this coming, but she wasn't the problem. I quickly turned to punch David in the stomach. The poor fool should have stayed in his normal attire, but I kept his special spiked fists.

David might not look like a fighter, but what he lacks in strength and discipline, he makes up for in his agility, speed, and reaction time. As a copy, I am well endowed with his talents.

The moment I knocked David back was about the same moment I took off. Back to where the fight began.

I looked around, Kenichi was busy with Evil Satoshi. Pfft, like I care. The arrogant bastards can all go to hell.

There's a problem with being a hideously flawed, mind-playing doppleganger, especially if there are other hideously flawed, mind-playing dopplegangers. We're all in it for ourselves, so I think it's self-explanatory. Plus, if you screw up (and there's a SMALL margin for error in this department), then you're permanently screwed. In my opinion, people who do this are arrogant snots who Morrigan (if and when she finds out) will hunt down like the dogs they are.

Okay, so my approach isn't any better, considering they can't die (and I'll still be in the way of the others), but it's less work, in my opinion. Plus, Morrigan is more likely gonna axe the people who have (intentionally) emotionally tortured the others first.

In a flash, I dissappeared. I had things I wished to say to David. David alone.

[Aiymee Haruda][Think I forgot about her, ne?]
----------------
"I've got to go out to those kids."I said, sitting up fastly on Babamon's bed. Droommon looked at me concerningly, and so did Babamon. The Justimon was making some tea, and warming up towels and sheets.

"Hun, They are already taking care of them. You need to be concerned about your health. A while ago, you were frantically calling out 'Mommy!!Mommy!!!', so lay down, and wait."Babamon said. She came over with another pillow and comforter, and I laid back down. I soon found myself sitting up, sipping hot tea.

"Let me take our D-Sense, Aiymee."Droommon said. She came over to my side, and took my D-Sense, and went back over to a chair.

'I swear...I'll get my revenge on Auny and...I promise to bring the demise of those 11 dimwits!'I thought silently as I sipped the hot tea.I soon feel asleep afterwards,and let my body recover.




------------
[Akira Takinowa]
-------------------
"Doctor!!"I yelled as I felt my body slowly falling, along of that...Laura's body. I had about 10 of them, and some Nurses, around me in a matter of seconds. They got a wheelchair, and wheeled Laura to her room.

"Akina!Watch over Laura for a sec!I'll be back."I yelled into Aiymee's room. I heard someone jumping, prolly Akina. I started to walk quickly into each room, trying to get atleast one thing for each child.

"Prayer beads."I ran into Kioshi. I smiled, and took them from him as he rushed into Jun's room. I got A Razor scooter Shoulder strap from Akina,and some misc. items from others. Before going into Laura's room, I passed by one boy's room.

"Kenichi Tanaka."I read the sign in a whisper. I opened the door, and the only one visible was a nurse, who was by his bedside, and a doctor, working on IV's.

"It'd be a bad omen if no one is here at his bedside."The nurse said. I smiled, and looked at the boy's face quickly. He seemed utterly familar, I couldn't place a single name on it though.

"Well, I'll be here in a sec for his bedside, so you can go back to work. Arigato."I told her. I rushed out, and went into Laura's room.

"She was moved into Satoshi Takinowa's room."The nurse said,preparing fresh sheet's on a new bed. I went into the next room, and found Laura clutching Satoshi's arm.

"Here."I said, handing her the items. The Prayer Beads are for Jun, but the rest have names on them. Give these to Satoshi..k?"I told her. She clutched all the items tightly in her arms, and Her Moniter showed a calmed Heartbeat.

"Tell him I love him."I said, and saw the item's fade from view, and her eyes closed.

[Yami Satoshi]
-----------------------
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to be louder..."Kenichi said, and applied more pressure. I let out a little yell, and tried to shake off the pain.

"Out of all of us, your the only one not to have a copy. I wish you did though.."I said, grunting from the pressure he applied on me,"because then I wouldn't have so much work."

"And now to attack you?Hmph, because we had to learn more about you first, I suppose."I told him, trying to give a straight answer. I felt like I was a slave and he was the master.

"And for each digimon and human there are here, there is a copy. Except for you, Kenichi, arent'cha the lucky one. Doesn't mean I can't mentally torment you."I told him. I felt some pressure being lifted off..

"Now, I want to start a conversation."I told him strictly.I was still in a bind, but it wouldn't be fun without a equal conversation.

"You know, you might aswell trust me. I mean, Satoshi cares to much for your feelings to tell you in your face."




----------
[Haruka Haruda]
-----------------
"Fine."I said in defeat out of endless No's and Please's. I looked at The Fake Laura, dressed in a Japanese School Uniform. I wore a Sailor Uniform at my school personally, but now was not the time to think about clothing.

"Come on,Lopmon."I said, and Lopmon sighed, getting on my head. I placed my goggles on, and in a sec, I felt Yami Laura's hand creep on my shoulder.In a blink, I was no longer at the forest entrance, but Infront of a house. The door's sign, which read 'Shibiyama and Takinowa', got me pissed off. I was already pissed for someone interupting me, but this pushed it.

"One..Two..Three!"I said, and used my scooter as a battery ram. The door was a weak one, and soon fell over.

"Satoshi, Damn it..come out NOW!"I yelled. I soon faced a girl similar to Satoshi's friend Aoi, but she wore a Chinese Silk Dress, and comething gave me the cold chills about her.

BAMM!The Fake Aoi was now against the wall, falling down. I basically took her arm, and whirled her around in circles, until I felt her light body slip off the ground.

"Now, Satoshi.."I said, growling. I looked over my shoulder, to see the Fake Laura smirking at Fake Aoi, who looked displeased...and in pain..

"Aoi, hun."I heared someone's voice say from the back. I dropped everything, and Lopmon jumped off my head, shaking in fear. When I was angry..I was angry.I didn't like being angry though.

"Ohh..who are you?"I heard his voice say. I saw him from the next doorway, looking at Fake Aoi. I ran over, and looked him in the eyes. They were the color of a Bright, Neon Pink...they were red before...

"SATOSHI-KUN!!"I yelled, and threw a punch at his eye. He soon made friends with a table and the floor, coming up, covering his eye. He let go for a second, some red specks appered.

"Ok..Satoshi..This hurts me more than you.."I said, smiling. I aimed, and kicked him in..where...male's should not be kicked. He soon doubled over in pain, and closed his eyes. I could notice brusing on the eye I punched slowly coming.

"Ok..you back to normal yet?"I said, wlaking over to him. I used my foot to move his head, and bent down to open his eyes.

Completely red, besides the pupil.I smiled, and looked back at Yami Laura, who seemed to be with a friend..

"Satoshi!"Laura yelled, and ran over to him. She looked up at me like I was a psyco.

"My works done, I'm off. Sayonara."I said, and took Lopmon on my head. I stepped over the door, and walked off.

[Satoshi Takinowa]

"Laura.."I started to say, moving my lips slowly. I tried to open my eyes, but all that came was a blur. But I saw a familar outline, Laura.

"Ohh..what did Haruka do to you?"She said, rubbing my eye. I felt myself slowly passing out, my mind slipping from reality. I let a smile out, and I felt my legs getting oftly numb..

"What's wrong, Satoshi..Satoshi?!?!?!"Laura yelled. I started to feel dizzy, liteheaded and felt like my heart was burning. I could barely move, barely speak. Something was happening...maybe Haruka was too strong..and I was dieing..

"This isn't fair...I just came back Satoshi..and look, I brought gifts.."Laura said,but her voice seemed far.I tried to open my eyes, but found it immposible.I felt that I could move my lips though, and I wanted to say something before...

"Laura...stay here.."I said, and in a second, I wasn't there. Vanished, without a trace.

"His heartbeat, Akira, is very calm. His breathing rate is the same too, so don't worry."I heard over me.I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. But I could breath, and everything like that.

"Mom.."I whispered. I heard a llight gasp from a womens mouth. I then felt vibrations coming from my left. I tried to open my eyes...and succeded..

"Son!"Mom yelled, in joy. I smiled, and hugged her on the side of my bed..One thought lingered..

'Is my Journey over?'
