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

[Yami Annika]

In my defense, Kenichi's suggestion was written by Roy.

“It’s getting late,” Kenichi sighed, leaning back in his chair. It was true. Seated from the café across the movie theatre, I could see the Digimon heading to their own homes and into dreamland. I sipped on my milkshake – or the Digital World substitute - as he checked his watch. “We have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow.”

I wasn’t sure exactly what he meant, but I hoped it meant we would soon put Primary Town behind us. I nodded absentmindedly.

“We could check in on Morrigan; her locator shows her in the temple.” Kenichi added, his D-Sense displaying a map with multi-colored dots all around the city.

“That’s… quite alright,” I vetoed. “Last time I went into a temple, bad things happened.” I absentmindedly rubbed my head from where I had been knocked unconscious. The memories were still fresh. “Besides, she’s a big girl. She can take care of herself.” I reminded him. Kenichi seemed to agree, and we went back to contemplating how to spend the rest of the night.

“We could just, you know, sit on a bench all night, making out.” Kenichi suggested shyly, at least, shyly for him. I was so surprised; I sent air back through my straw, causing my drink to spew out all over the table. “Sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking.” He immediately apologized.

“No, no it’s alright,” I quickly amended; glad to have clean-up duty to distract me from my deepening blush. “It just caught me by… surprise…” I quickly tried to work on damage control, to keep him from mentally kicking himself for days to come, but didn’t really succeed. “So…”

Then, both of our D-Senses went off, signaling an incoming call, and saving us from having to embarrass ourselves further.

“Sorry to interrupt you two, but I have a request” David’s head appeared in 3-d form above the device. “Laura said she had a feeling that Haruka was in trouble. Do you guys mind checking in on her?” I wondered which Laura to which he was referring, but then he added “And Kenichi it was the real Laura that told us this not the Yami. She told us after Rigiamon was able to perform surgery on her.”

My worst suspicions were confirmed, and I started to turn uncomfortably in my seat at the name. The letter came fluttering into my mind, along with the thoughts of how she hated me and how I had broken my promise to her.

“And Aunyailia, Laura’s going to be okay.” I could only smile thinly at that comment – at least she would live. But it was no matter, she still hated me. “Anyway, it’s up to you guys,” David finished, disappearing from the sky.
“Might as well.” I shrugged, breaking the silence, and standing up. Haruka wasn’t the ideal person I wanted to save – she, too, hated me. But maybe saving her life would make her open her mind a little. If so, it would be worth it.

“Shall we?” I asked, helping Kenichi out of the booth. He wrapped his arm around me, and we walked out of the café, and onto the boardwalk.

[Haruko]

Satoshi Takinowa

" I learned one thing when I was sick, and that is that life is so short, and that I want to stay with you, so I have this ring, it's a promise ring. I've seen teenagers give it to each other and it means that they might get married later on in life, I guess what I'm asking Satoshi is... will you marry me some day?" She asked, and my eyes froze at her body as she looked in my eyes with a tint of happiness. My mind froze at the question..

And I found myself in a similar situation as like the one back in Tama Market, when Laura renounced her love for me. My mind froze, my mouth only spitting out “Uh’s”. It’s was a big decision, even if it won’t happen for a while. I would be promising Laura my hand in marriage, and I wasn’t sure I was up to the promise---I mean, I’m only 15,right?

“So, Yes or No?” Laura asked, a bit more sadness in her tone of voice. I shifted my eyes around, on accident, as I looked for the right answer, but all I found were all the wrong ones. I strongly felt myself wanting to ask Haruka on this matter, but she wouldn’t take me very seriously at all. She’s like that, you know?

Then, I took a ring, the promise ring that she placed on my finger. A little loose, but soon, it’ll be snug, sort of like our relationship. It’s sort of jumbled around, but soon-and I felt it- we would get close. And this is where I took upon to find the right answer, and I placed a grin on my face.

“Ee.”I said shortly, and she looked at me interestingly. It suddenly popped out of my mind to say Yes in English, and not in Japanese. Baka me for that.
“Yes, I mean” And suddenly, Laura arose with a smile, and her face lighten up with happiness, and I felt myself radiating the same emotion. I held her hand in mine, and I leaned for it.

And I suppose it was like any other kiss we have done so far, but it was different all the same. And it felt like it lasted forever, and we soon departed with it, and I felt upon a pure, sensational bliss.

“Hey, Lovebird’s.” I heard from the corner of the area, and saw upon Hawkmon, who had some lipstick around his beak. I glared upon him as he walked over, and stood in front of us.
“Hawkmon, NOW you decide to return.” I said in a strong tone.
“And? I had a blast.” Hawkmon lit up. I sighed, and looked at Laura.



Haruka Haruda
[“Hitoribotchi no shiisoo de/Daremo ga dareka ga kuru no wo matteru/Boku mo onnaji dakedo ne/Itsu demo hantai muki ****e/Suwatte itan da” Hitoribocchi no Seesaw; The Lonely Seesaw[C/o-Tobira~Door]]

“Wake up Haruka….someone at door!” I woke up rudely to Lopmon’s kidish voice, and she was right, someone was pounding on the door. I sat up, and slowly opened my sleepy eyes.
“One sec, one sec..” I said, and the pounding lightened up to be a soft knock. I quickly brushed my hair and placed my goggles on, and ran over to the door, looking in the peephole. A Girl, who seemed to hang around David a lot was in front, but a Dark figure showed in the back of her--her temple was here, I suppose. But as I reached for the door knob, I felt a forbidden feeling--like I shouldn’t open the door. I backed away from it, but it was only that girl…right? It could be a Yami, but I would wonder what they would want from me.

So I turned the knob, and the girl didn’t move at all when the inside, the warm house, was presented to her. But a cold smirk was plastered on her face, and the Digimon behind her revealed itself with glowing wings..
“Black Flame Burst!” It bellowed, and the wings grew with a intense darkness…This wasn’t the girl that hung around David…but a Yami.

A Strong Willed one at that.

I suddenly felt my hands burn when I felt fear overcome me. Lopmon went behind me, and as soon as the digimon released the Darkness..
“Akiramenaide!”I yelled, and my hands glew with a white light, and surrounded Lopmon, me, My Scooter and Satoshi’s Moped. The blast suddenly was over, and the house was ruin’s afterwards. I stared into the girl’s eyes as she walked over, and I started to back up, with Lopmon copying.

“Why protect yourself when you know you are going to die, mortal.” She said with a cold voice.”Ebodramon….finish her off.”
I soon found my hand reaching for my D-Sense in my pocket, and I pressed a button. I made a Pentagon (A Star), and Lopmon glew with a bright,pinkish light..

“Lopmon…digivolve to….Rabbitmon!” My D-Sense said in a feminine tone. I looked behind me, to notice a huge rabbit behind me..
“Darker Intent.”The Dark Dragon like champion bellowed, and a black-purple like fireball shot rapidly at Rabbitmon, who soon found herself in a battered-Lopmon form. I growled as the digimon hissed and smirk. He flung a little fireball at me, and I took the attack, my body soon found itself in pain.

“Haruka?!?!?!”I hear a voice.

Kenichi and..

Auny.



Aoi Shibiyama

“Why did you do that!”I yelled, and I soon found myself on a bench outside a huge stadium/dome building.A Boy was staring over me..Hiro-kun?
“Hiro?”I asked,and sat up. Labramon was behind him, rubbing against his leg.
“You were out for a while, and I needed to get help.”Labramon said,”He came immediately, picked you up and brought you here. Since that, he’s been asking what’s been happening.

“Your not freaked on Labramon?” I asked Hiro, and he smiled, and laughed for a sec.
“Digimon have been appearing around lately. But Labramon here told me she was with you, so I suppose she’s good. I also found this next to you..” He replied, and handed me my D-Sense. I looked in it, and looked into Hiro.
“It’s a Digivice.” I said clearly to Hiro. I then felt something looking over me, and looked behind me to find nothing. I felt a cold presence around though.” I was in the Digital World for around a day.”
“It hasn’t been a day..It’s been around…maybe a couple of hours or so.” He said, dazed and confused. All the same though, it felt good to be back..

I then got that strange feeling again, and pushed my Black hair to look behind me..
“Greymon…Champion Level.”

“Haruka?!?!?!”I shouted out, as I saw the ruins of a building. Morrigan was there, as was a rather big dragon digimon who was attacking her! Haruka was Satoshi's cousin... And mine too I suppose... I couldn't let anyone take away part of my family, whether they knew it or not.

"Armor of the Earth!" I cried. The ground did move, but not beneath me. It quickly unjulated beneath Haruka, swarming up her legs and arms in time to cover her before the next blast hit her. When the energy of the blast dissapated somewhat, Haruka was still there, straining to get up with her new light-weight rock armor covering her form.

"Kenichi?! And Auny I see..." Morrigan said as Auny came up to my side. The dragon beside Morrigan, the Yami, also turned to face us, Haruka forgotten for the moment.

I'm coming Kenichi, hold on... Rigiamon's voice echoed in my mind. I shook my head microscopically to his words, I had called him with my D-Sense on the way here. With Rigiamon, we could easily handle this pair... Perhaps even without him in this case. Morrigan hadn't had a digimon last time I'd seen her, so this Yami version must also be very young. And inexperianced.

Liquid rock slid up my body, quickly becoming solid in an armor that covered my pink pants and white shirt. I missed my old clothing in this case, along with all of my equiptment in my backpack... This would be a pure power match.

Auny held one of my arms lightly, and nodded to me. I nodded quickly back, comforted somewhat that she was there with me, ready to help and fight.

My fists swelled in size as more rock covered them. I began walking towards the pair slowly, motioning for Auny to go to Haruka's side with a whisper.

"I don't suppose you'll simply leave?" I asked calmly, facing down the pair which were rapidly getting close.

"I could say the same to you Kenichi... This isn't your fight."

"Haruka is one of us, and I won't let you kill her... Besides, I found out that she's my cousin and I'm not interested in losing a person who owes me some long overdue birthday presents," I said the last sentence lightly.

Stopping, I got into a loose fighting stance, both of my arms up ready to block an attack.

"I'm first up, shall we begin?"

[Roy Karrde]

Well Valentine's day is in a few days, I think Poli has something planned, but well..we'll see.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Satoshi turned to me with a sigh of grief, Hawkmon did seem to pop in at the worst time, but it was okay becuase, well I was literly bursting with energy. "Here Hawkmon let me clean you up" I suggested pulling the blanket off and getting on my knees, I pulled a small scarf out of my pocket and began to clean off his beak. "So you had a great time?" I asked trying to wipe off the lipstick.

"It was awesome" Hawkmon replied jumping up into the air and then fluttered back down, he tried to pull away but I held him down by grasping one leg, with one last wipe I got the last bit of lipstick off of him. "I had sooo much fun, my mind is still reeling from it" He continued spining around, His wings flew past my face and I must have been allerigic to it becuase I started sneezing horribly, while laughing at the same time.

"Laura" Satoshi said in a serious tone, I turned to him and he was holding up his D-Sence. "Auny, Kenichi, and Haruka are in trouble" He added grimly, my heart sank and I knew we would be going into battle, just...hang in there Auny.

"Let's go" I agreed as we got up, Satoshi folded up the blanket and put it by the bench, he put an arm around me and we began to walk toward where the others were on the map. "Satoshi...I feel safer with you, than anyone else I ever knew" I said looking up at him and blushing.

"Thanks.." He replied smiling weakly. "I always feel happier around you, though I don't show it much" He added, I snuggled in closer and he placed a tighter arm around me.

"Laura Takinowa" I said trying out the name.

"What are you talking about?" Hawkmon asked looking at both of us suspisiously, Satoshi and I just laughed and kept walking.

A huge Dragon bellowed into the air not far away, I looked over at Satoshi, who looked scared to death we both just stood there for a second and then took off running. "Alpha time to go to work" I yelled with thw wind rushing through my hair, Alpha appeared next to me, as if he just appeared out of thin air, but I knew he has been secretly following me all night.

"Laura, stay out of this" Satoshi warned skidding to a halt and placing a arm in front of me, I bearly stoped myself before I slamed into his arm. "I dont want you to end up like dead, this thing is bad, I dont want you to fight it" Satoshi warned.

"I cant to that" I told him looking at him defiantly. "Auny is in there, and she is my best friend, and I'm going to protect her, plus Haruka is there, and I guess she is my Cousin in Law, now too and I want to stand up and help her" Satoshi looked at me for a few seconds, and finally nodded, we both began to run again, and for the first time I felt like I was apart of a family.

["It's so hard to tell myself that you're gone, but though you're still with me...I've been alone all along..." ~My Immortal--Evansecence]

I felt cleansed, possibly purified, after that warm shower...the soap against my skin was soothing, even being able to clean my scar from back in Las Mesa. I gazed at myself in the mirror, fully dressed in my normal clothing and placing a hand against the mirror: Was I truely ugly? Sighing, I brushed out my hair, which, due to dampness, looked black with streaks of midnight blue. I gazed once again in confusion, putting in my hairpiece, just for the heck of it. I walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed, putting up my traditional clothing from the festival last night and ready to leave. I slung the bag over my back, turning off all the lights, and leaving, possibly to never return ever again.

After dropping the key off at the lounge room, I stepped out the door and into the empty road, the place dimly lit leaving only the stars out. Arwen gazed around, trying to find Vulpa, the fox constellation. I gazed openly at Virgo....my odiac sign and where my power comes from. As a woman I felt alone, and hopefully never did. Maybe....someday, I shall coimpose a myth of her-if one didn't already exist-about how she had a fair and just relationship, until she realized her significant other was with another woman, who was probably holding his child, which set her to mortal sorrow for eternity...and her heart, broken, scattered into the sky which today leaves her outline....and depicts her sad and unlucky life.

"Would that be....me...someday?" I asked quietly to myself in sorrow...sighing mournfully before continuing on. At the hill, I looked around in confusion, as if I was trying to find an invisible person. I felt blind, until I noticed a figure, a little taller than me, stand alone...could it be....Jun? I noticed a gleam of gold in amber eyes under the silver starlight....it was Jun.

I, with a tense feeling hanging in my stomach, walked over...nervous and not knowing what to say. I examined him, he was back in his normal clothing now....and probably got some rest like I assumed.

"Uh....Jun....?" I stuttered slightly, causing him to turn around with a slight 'Hnh?', gazing at me, only to realize it was only me....the tormented puppet of the winter goddess.

"Yeah...what is it?" He asked, but for the first time ever, he actually said something without grunting in a low voice.

"Well....I was just wondering," I started, glancing up and looking down slightly, a bit shy, "Me and the younger Laura were originally planning to set out on a path to the Wishing Lakes, before the rest of us, and I was wondering...if you would like to go with us...?"

He looked down himself, probably muttering something to himself about his decision, "Well....I guess I could."

And I approached him a bit more, finally gaining the courage of facing him eye to eye, my eyes slightly gleaming under the starlight through my glasses, my pendant glowing a low color, saying in a slight sorrowful tone, "I also have something else to talk to you about...."

[Thargor]

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

"Black Luster Flare!" Morrigan screamed as dark fire erupted from her skin, hurtling at a dizzying rate towards me. Concentrating quickly on the feeling of the earth below me, I brought up both of my rock covered hands. With a massive shudder, the ground rose up to block the attack, portions of soil and grass exploding in all directions.

Another wave of fire erupted on the battlefield, this time from the copy Ebodramon towards Haruka and Auny. Within the shadows of the large digimon, the two of them abruptly dissapeared, to reappear at a distance in the shade of a tree. The attack exploded uselessly on the ground as the digimon screamed in frustration, it's wings flapping in preparation for flight.

Closing in my distance between myself and the digimon, the upturned ground still shielding me from the Yami Morrigan, I leapt into the air, giving the digimon a kick before I hit the ground rolling. While my foot was armored, I could tell from impact that it had done little more than attract it's attention. Getting up to one knee, I used my right hand in a backfist, slamming the back of one of its knees. It gave a shriek at this, it's eyes glowing in anger. I would not let it attack Auny or Haruka at this point.

"Kenichi, I'm sorry it took so long," A voice floated from behind me. The dragon's elongated head shifted from looking down from me towards the speaker. The look of anger was replaced with a less confident look... A much less confident look.

Using the moment of distraction, I lashed out at the creature's knee again, making it stumble slightly in place as I rolled backwards. A claw slammed into the ground where I had been a moment ago, but the roll brought me away from the force of the impact. I rose to both of my feet, and looked to the gray figure behind me.

"Better late than never... Want to finish this poor excuse for one of our digimon off?"

Rigiamon walked deceptively fast towards the dragon. His head tilted, as an audible crack could be heard. He stretched out his arms, tendons making groaning noises.

"I do need a bit of a warm-up."

Then, Rigiamon was off. Unlike his previous fight, he did not bother to digivolve. The scent of the dragon digimon's fear was livid, and my partner was almost artistic in his performance. Darting around the larger digimon as if it was moving still, Rigiamon's punches and kicks were almost invisible, striking almost faster than the eye could see before withdrawing and attacking another area. Not a hint of anger could be seen in his performance... He did not let it get personal. He was in complete control of his body, mind, and soul... I couldn't imagine having another digimon partner.

Then, the dragon's eyes grew hazy, and with a shudder, it slammed down to the ground, a green aura of data covering it. Pressing my D-Sense, the data exploded around the digimon and slammed into the piece of machinery. A card appeared in my hand, a card of the once copy.

Looking towards where Yami Morrigan once was, all I could see was scorched earth. It hadn't bothered sticking around after Rigiamon had come around... A good tactical move considering that it was overpowered. Though I did not look forward to tracking such creatures that could move around so easily.

Rigiamon and I moved towards the form of Auny and Haruka, who had watched the remainder of the fight apparently. Auny had really saved the day by bringing Haruka away from that attack...

"Are you two alright?" I shouted ahead, as I ran forward, the rock armor slipping off my form...

[Haruko]

Haruka Haruda

"Are you two alright?"Kenichi asked as he and Rigiamon ran over to Auny and me. The armour on Kenichi and me started to slip off and reformed with the earth. I awaited Kenichi as I looked at Lopmon, who was in my arms, sleeping. She has some bruises and she was dirty--but she wasn't dead.

"I'm ok"Me and Auny said at the same time. We both looked at each other...I sorta relented being mad at her for what she ALMOST did to Lopmon...but she almost did do it. And that's keeping me from making peace with her. I mean..she attempted murder on Lopmon..

"Thanks."I said, placing a little reluctancy in my voice as I thanked Auny for saving me. Kenichi finally got up at us, looking at us,giving off a funny look."Thanks Kenichi.."
"Are you 2 ok though?"He asked again. I looked down at Lopmon, then back at Kenichi.
"I'm fine...Lopmon's just a little battered.But she'll be ok...After a little rest."I told him.
"I'm fine too."Auny replied. I sighed, and started to walk away from the two. I didn't really want to..but being around Auny also gave me the creeps...a evil aura or something.And I wasn't in the mood to forgive and forget.

"Talk to you later."I said, wlaking away from the two, cradling Lopmon in my arms. I was going to find another empty house, Clean her and me up, then possibly leave this place.



I promise more postyness next time...I think I've got a bit of a pooply laggy brain. Hehe.

Well Happy Valentine's day everyone

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Auny" I yelled running over to her and hugging her as tightly as possible. "I missed you" I sighed finally letting go of her, she was turning kindof well pale anyway I guess becuase I had cut off her blood supply when I hugged her.

"I thought you hated me?" Auny asked, I looked up at her confused, why would she think that? I hadnt done anything to make her think that, did I? "You dont hate me?" Auny asked tears welling up in here eyes.

"No, never, I would never hate you Auny, your my best friend" I told her, She sighed and hugged me around the neck, I closed my eyes and just enjoyed being with Auny again, When I opened them I could see Kenichi and Satoshi off to the side, Satoshi looked kindof aqward like he was trying to say something but didnt know how.

"Auny I need to tell you something" I said, she let go of me and kindof bent down to my level so that we could look at each other in the eyes. Well no time like the present. "Auny, Satoshi and I, well were kindof, somewhat...engaged" I said, Auny looked at me with her mouth gaping open. Kenichi looked from me to Satoshi then back to me in shock, his mouth moving but no sound coming out. Coming from one of the houses was the sound of something big hitting the floor followed by what sounded like a very angry Lopmon.

"Are you..your not..you and Satoshi" Auny said her words a jumbled mess, "Your not pregnant are you?" Auny finally asked, I felt like I had been slammed into a brick wall, this was happy news and everyone but Satoshi was treating it like we were some aweful things.

"No, no no no" I kept saying backing up while shaking my head, how could she think of such a thing.

"Laura wait, I'm sorry" Auny said walking after me, "I didnt mean it that way"

"Stay away from me, just stay away from me Auny" I yelled back at her as I took off running, was this how everyone was going to react, David, Kari and Laura, would they react this way? Did I make a mistake?


To get back at Annika for saying that I wrote the Kenichi comment, She told me that is how Auny's reaction would be.

"Stay away from me, just stay away from me Auny,"Laura said, before running away from Auny. I sighed, confused. I rolled my eyes slightly, and looked at Kenichi.
"So...overhearing Laura and Auny..you two...are engaged?"Kenichi asked me. I looked around nerviously and jumpy..I didn't want to reply. Unlike Laura, I wanted to keep it a secret.
"Yes."I muttered,"Well....semi."Kenichi looked at me like he couldn't hear. I then looked at him again, with a little glare, and added...Loudly this time..

"Yes, we are. Only it's semi...Like "Promise Rings." "I told him,"But I would much rather want to keep it a secret."
"Yesh...the two are engaged..."Hawkmon snuck upon me, and I jumped a mile high. I looked behind me,and there he appered. I gave him a slight glare, and he backed away..

"Anyway...is Haruka ok?I saw her walk off..In a bad mood--I suppose."I asked Kenichi. He shruged, and I sighed..
"Auny saved her from an attack..."Kenichi replied,"Though I don't know why she would be.."

"Haruka doesn't like Auny very much."




Sucky post, but heheheheh...My mind's on other subjects right now.

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

Silence reigned for a moment, before I sighed slowly. Satoshi did seem to be getting in the thick of it... Things were moving very quickly, and it didn't seem he was handling it that well... He was tired like the rest of us, and some of his strain was obvious to see.

"Satoshi, you might want to think the ring thing over," I began. Satoshi's head shot up as he looked me in the eyes, and I shook my head in response as I brought up my hand.

"No need to take it like that... It's just a suggestion. The past week has taken its toll on us, and I think things have been moving quickly for most. It might not be the best thing to do while we're battling evil digimon, clones, and who knows what else to be pushing your first relationship with a girl to be so important..."

"I haven't been pushing it..." Satoshi mumbled.

"It doesn't matter, just consider whether you want to risk that relationship by putting too much pressure on it in the beginning... I don't know that much about boyfriends and girlfriends, but I know that sort of thing can ruin a friendship," I patted him on the shoulder. "Do what you think is right for you, for her, and for the rest of us, not what is just good for the moment."

Satoshi nodded slowly, a thoughtful expression on his face. I looked towards Auny for a moment, then gave Satoshi a smile.

"I think it's just about time we left this town and continued on with our little quest, eh otouto*?"

The name I called Satoshi startled him for a second out of his thoughts, then a wide smile came over his face. He let out a chuckle. "I think that would be appropriate, oniisan*."

"Let's meet back here in twenty minutes with our things, alright?" I asked. Satoshi nodded back, and gave Auny a brief glance, then the bungalo Haruka was in. He jogged away to where his things were.

Going quickly over to Auny's side, I saw she was upset over her talk with Laura. Easily sliding one arm over her shoulder, I gave her a hug.

"Are you alright?" I asked quietly.

"Y-yeah..." She mumbled back to me, her face buried in my white shirt. I stroked her hair for a moment, then parted from our hug. I looked into her face with a smile.

"Well, we're going to be leaving this place in a few minutes, want me to help you pack before we get going? And before we get me out of these pink tuxedo pants?" I added jokingly to the end.

She sniffed a bit, her troubled expression replaced with a weak smile. "That would be nice... I sure wish I had a camera to have evidence you wore them though..."

My arm still around her shoulder, I led her back towards her small house. "I'm not one to deny such things..."

I'll post again, when I come up with something better. I just got home, and, good news: I'm done with my project! Yaaaaaaaay...

“I’m not one to deny such things…” said Kenichi, leading me away.

I didn’t mean what I said to her. I don’t know what I had been thinking. Shouldn’t I have been happy for Laura? I mean, she was happy.

As we walked further off, I felt my head drift off in the direction Laura had ran.

Why did I have to say that…?

Of all people?

It slowly dawned on me that I was becoming like the rest of them. Before we even hit Las Mesa, a time Laura was so sad. People had been thinking she was too young to be moving this fast, too young to have these feelings – wasn’t I accusing her of the same? Thinking there was something wrong with her, for her to be engaged?

I sighed gently. We had just made up, too. If she didn’t hate me then, she had to hate me now.

I leaned my head against Kenichi… Was he my only true source of comfort and happiness? Laura hated me now; Haruka hated me (although, that was nothing new)…

There was only one option; I’d have to leave, find her, and explain. Then we could all be happy again.

But I didn’t want to go, not right now.

So I didn’t have to, did I?

No, I’d wait. Come up with something to say, then chase. I'd go right before we leave.

Would that work?

All these feelings and emotions... I felt like the world had never been this complicated until now.

Okay my last post sucked, I was kindof destracted by the Russ Martin Show. So I am going to delete it and edit it to go along with my sisters.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Laura, Jun" I yelled running up to them on the hill, they both looked suprised to see me, and well a little stunned. "Ready to go?" I panted out of breath.

"What do you want to talk about?" Jun asked, Laura shot a angry look at me and I just shrugged, I had no idea that something was going on between them. Maybe I did come in at a bad time.

"It can wait till later" Laura sighed, "Hey Jun is coming with us, is that okay June?"

"Yep" I said a little more chearful than usual "Off to wishing lake" I yelled as we began to move down the hill. Alpha appeared next to me and nodded, which reminded me.

"Alpha I want you to go tell Satoshi that Laura, Jun and I are going to head on to wishing lake, and that I will see him there, I want you to travel with them until we meet up again, becuase we cant wait around for you" I told him, he seemed a little disapointed and ran off.

"Good bye you stupid town" I yelled once we reached the city limits. "I hope I never see it again" I laughed waving good bye at the town, the sound of running footsteps behind us began to get faster and faster, I turned around to see a very out of breath and tear soaked Auny run up to us. At that point I let down my happy facade and just ran to Auny and hugged her as tightly as possible.

"I'm sorry,I didnt mean to say those terrible things" Auny cried pressing her head up against my shoulder. I grabbed on to her shirt with my hand, holding it tightly as I bit my lip trying not to cry too. "I-I'm just so tired and I'm so sorry" She wispered silently in my ear, as if her voice was too strained to even talk.

"Necklace for the pretty lady?" A red dinosaur Digimon said walking up to Auny and I, he sounded no more than six or seven years old and looked like a child, on his paw were several different necklaces. "I need to sell them or my mommy and daddy cant buy us food" The Digimon said holding out the necklaces.

I let go of Auny and pulled out a wad of Cash, The Digimon's eyes grew huge as I gave it to him, he just dropped all the necklaces and ran home yelling for his mom and dad. "Here I want you to have this' I told Auny picking up a pink heart shape necklace that had the word "Sisters" written across the heart in dark pink letters. With a little force I broke the necklace into two, and tied a second piece of string around the second half, I places one half around her neck, and the other around my neck.

"As long as we both wear these then we will both know that were sisters, and that we can forgive each other for what ever we say" I told Auny with a smile, she looked down at her half of the necklace and touched it as a tear rolled down her cheak. "I..I need to go I promised the others I would go with them to wishing lake, so I guess I'll see you later" I told Auny hugging her one last time before walking off with the rest into the rising sun, with the sun washing over my face, I felt like everything was right in the world.

[Haruko]

Satoshi Takinowa

I had 20 minutes before we left for the next place.

"The next place is called Wishing Lakes."Hawkmon told me as I left to find Haruka."It's apparently a very good spot for couples. It also grants wishes for young couples...I know these things."
"Yeahh.."I sighed, walking a bit faster. I was more concentrated on what Kenichi was talking to me about..how a girlfriend..or much less a fiance, would help in times of battle-and it would interfer with our mission.All the things Kenichi said were true..I suppose I didn't really think the whole "I'm gonna have to worry about her more now," or the "I'm stuck with one girl forever," ordeal.

But giving Laura back the ring would break her heart...and most likely her spirit.

I didn't notice where I was going, since I only daydreamed while I was looking for Haruka---I actually bumped into her on the way..I looked up at her face, which was always the same-Serious. She then smiled a little bit at me, then Lopmon waved--who was being carried in Haruka's arms.
"Hey,Satoshi."She said plainly."I was..."
"Did you thank Auny?"I asked her quickly. Upon hearing that name, Lopmon gave a slight growl,and Haruka frowned.
"Yes,I did."She replied,"Is that ok with you?"
"Yeah,just checking."I said, and looked into her eyes. I know that she hate Auny-for reasons unknown..but she seemed in a bad mood.

"Anyway,Lopmon got hurt trying to protect me,"Haruka said, looking at Lopmon,"I should've been protecting her and myself..I didn't ask for any help,you know."
"You should be grateful."I said,"Anyway, wanna walk to Wishing Lakes with us?Me,Kenichi and Auny."
"Uhh.."She said, stuttering,"Fine.."

So we turned around, to where we were supposed to meet Auny and Kenichi. Haruka looked flustered, and I looked just plain...depressed.

"This is the first time your actually travelling with us, you know."I said. She looked up at the sky, her goggles a bit loose and she tightly held grip of Lopmon and her scooter. My moped...was probably broken or something-I could always get another one...if anything.
"I know...anything of it?"Haruka replied,"I feel a strange presence though...which is why I'm coming."
"Oh,so now your "Miss Sixth Sense?""I asked her jokingly. She glared,and for a second, her eyes--which were brown with hints of bubblegum pink-- were fully bubblegum pink..
"Not funny...I just feel like I should actually be near people."Haruka said,"Take notice of this moment-and do not waste it."

"Cause I plan to go out on my own after this 'Wishing Lakes'."

["Kitto aoki tsuki no gotoku awaku hikaru de arou sotto tabibito terasu yo na yasashiki ougi mo tsuyosa yo" ~from Tsuki no gotoku(Like the Moon)--Motoko Aoyama song(Love Hina)]

It was only us five: Jun, Arwen, June, Alpha, and me...as we set out for our next destination: the Wishing Lakes. I felt a bit saddenned inside after the little moment of angst earlier with June and Auny...I could tell they would miss each other. Sighing with Arwen on my shoulder, I gazed at the ground...wondering slightly since I never got the chance to admit to Jun my feelings about him. But with the couple thing at the Wishing Lakes, maybe I could hold it off for a bit. I gazed as we passed through the kush meadow, and crossed into the start of a forest of evergreen trees. The sky above hung bright and clear over our heads, the fresh scent of pine beginning to make its way towards our noses. A damp feeling hung in the air slightly, as if it had rained here earlier.

My pendant hung around me, glinting slightly without reason in the sunlight, as I noticed it began to grow slightly...darker. All I knew is we were heading into what I called a f-kai mori, or deep forest. I breathed quietly, the leaves crunching beneath our shoes. What I didn't notice is my right hand was fidgeting slightly, eventually clutching Jun's. When I had noticed this, I began to sweat a cold sweat down my neck in a slight nervous wreck, as Jun looked at me with a slight nod of confusion, Arwen was blinking slightly.

"Gomen nasai..." I said quietly, pulling my hand away and feeling embarassed. Blushing only a slight bit, I wondered why I had done that? Would that ruin his view of me?

[Translation- "I will always be like the pale moon, Shining faintly, Softly illuminating travellers, Whose tender mysteries are also strength"]

[Roy Karrde]

Well I have been asked, and well asked for to take over the Jun Character intill Kioshi gets back, I do not know where Kioshi is, he has been off the AIM, for over a month, I have sent two emails to him with no responce, so I dunno, I hope he is okay and will come back soon.

Jun
+++++++++
"Are you okay?" I asked looking at Laura concerned, she seemed so jittery which was very unLauraish.

"I'm fine, heh" Laura laughed blushing ten different shades of red at the same time. I really didnt catch the last thing she said which led me to even more confusion.

"Laura umm June, why dont you head on, Wishing Lake should just be up the road" I asked the little Laura, she nodded and ran ahead of us, if I remembered the map correctly it would be just a few minutes away. "Hey Laura, I well, I.." I began to say.

"I'm, okay, I mean I am I think" Laura stammered out, she seemed so out of it, as if she were fumbling for the right words to say.

"Hey I have feelings for you too, and well I know you somewhat feel the same way, their's no need to feel bad about it" I told her comfortingly, she seemed to instantly relax, as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. I slowly moved my hand forward and took hers, using my thumb to gently go over the top of her hand while the rest of my fingers intertwined with hers.

"I dont feel bad about it, I..I" She began to mumble, I took the opertunity to kiss her on the lips just like I did at Las Mesa, it felt awesome, just as it did back then. When I pulled away she let out a little moan and kept her eyes closed.

"So are we a cou..." I began to say, I couldnt even get it out when Laura..June's scream came out from the distance, Laura looked at me in shock, I nodded and we took off in the direction of the scream, we were about to face something bad, I could feel it, but Laura and I would face it together.

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who are you?" I asked the young woman standing infront of me she was between me and wishing lake, and she gave me a really bad feeling in my stomach, like rancid tomatoes, She seemed to tower over me in height which made me more than a little afread of her, plus with Alpha gone she could just knock me down in one hit, or her...Digimon I guess, a little girl with a white gown and wings, she almost looked like a small child with wings on her back.

"Your worst nightmare--to be exact." The woman said, walking toward's me, for every step she took, I took a step back, that is until I was backed up against a tree with no where to go.

"I-I-I'm not scared of you" My voice studdering, I was shaking like a leaf by then I was so scared of her, she felt so dark so evil.

"You sure?Your shaking in your shoes." She asked, I looked down to see if that was true, she took that second to slam her hand next to the tree, I jumped and let out a short scream but one look at her shut me up. "Then again.." She added looking down at her ankle braclet to see that it was glowing.

"You guy's have the Hagane and Koori Orbs, don'tcha?" She asked me, I bit my lip and shook my head. "You have the ice and steel orbs you idiot dont'cha?" She asked again adding a more threatning tone to her voice.

"Satoshi help" I begged tears rolling down my face, I was so scared now if she knew I was steel, would she kill me, torture me?

"Which one do you have little girl?" The Digimon asked, I just scrunched up my shoulders a little and continued to cry, what were they going to do to me?

"Satoshi...You know Satoshi Takinowa?" She asked, I just looked at her in fear, the tears in my eyes making everything blury, she cracked her knuckles causing me to sob even more in fear. "Answer me" She yelled.

"He..He's my fiance, were engaged" I sobbed, at that moment Laura and Jun arrived, I looked over to them and so did the woman, Laura looked at me in shock and Jun looked like he was about to rip some one apart.

"June get over here" Laura said, I couldnt even move my legs I was in total shock all I could do is shake my head.

"Hmmm....Satoshi-kun is engaged?" The woman smirked, she reached her hand down and pulled out her D-Sence, so she was a chosen one too? "Well, you knowing him will lead you to your demise!" She spat, her spit hitting my cheak and running down my face. She made a pentagram with her D-Sence causing her Digimon to grow and turn into a aweful looking thing.

The little girl digimon was now a tall woman with long black wings, and a flute dangling in her hands, her feet and body just seemed to hover over the ground. "Revemon digivolve to Fluatamon" It growled. "Musical notes" It roared taking the flute and playing it into the air, both Jun and Laura seemed to slump over at the same time a look of happiness on their face, there wasnt even a chance for them to help me, I was alone.

"Fluatamon, do it to the little girl too...And use your other attack, Silent Mind" She laughed, Fluatamon brought the flute up to it's mouth again and I closed my eyes grabbing on to Auny's necklace.

"Help me Auny"

"Oh we will have none of that" The woman laughed grabbing Auny's necklace out of my hand and ripping it off my neck, she turned and threw it down to the sandy beach of wishing lake. At the same time I felt this kindof calm come over me, my sobbing stopped and my body went limp, I had lost control of my entire body I was just there, unable to move, speak, or do anything. I was so scared that I would tremble if I could, and worst yet I knew this time no one would be able to save me.

I watch Laura disappear on her way… Then, after a few seconds, I turned tail and retraced my footprints back to the group. It was a short while before I saw the town and the group.

Everyone who hadn’t already left was there. David, Morrigan, Kari… all the people who I hadn’t seen with us in a while. Kenichi had my bags with him (what little items I had). It seemed everything was in order.

“Ready?” I asked loudly. There was a murmur of assent in the peanut gallery. “Onward!” I laughed. “Onward, to Wishing Lakes!” I grabbed my bags from Kenichi and dashed ahead.

We began a slow walk, almost a march, to Wishing Lakes. Our Digimon usually stayed ahead of us. Luckily, none of us forgot anything, so, although there was no awkward or funny moments of having to run back, we got there faster.

“What’s that?” Kenichi asked me after a while. I looked at him, surprised, not realizing he had appeared beside me. I followed his gaze to the necklace Laura had given me, the same one my fingers had been stroking endlessly the entire time I had been walking.

“This?” I held it up. “It’s… ah, a gift. From Laura.” I grinned widely.

“So everything went well?” He asked.

I nodded energetically. “Of course!” I chirped. We walked a little further, with me having a spring in my step, and he walking normally. Wishing Lakes was starting to appear, Primary Town far behind us. There was still one thing I needed to do…

I stopped suddenly, grabbing his hand. He stopped, too. Pulling him close, I hugged him tightly. I must have caught him by surprise, but he hugged me back.

”Okay,” I smiled, jumping off of him. “We can go on, now.”


-=-=-=-(Time Passes)-=-=-=-


We had finally arrived at the entrance of Wishing Lakes. It was beautiful – there was, of course, a huge lake there. Without thinking, I ran off to it. More than anything, I loved water, though I couldn’t swim very well… Finally, a town I think I liked. I breathed in the damp air, and remembered something I had heard before I left to meet Laura.

“The next place is called Wishing Lakes. It's apparently a very good spot for couples. It also grants wishes for young couples... I know these things.”

Hawkmon had said that, I recalled.

Hmm… what should I wish for?

All these thoughts came into my head. Kenichi and I… Good fortune for all my friends…

Hoshimon. A faint thought whispered in my mind, but it was easily pushed out.

I paced as I thought, oblivious to the movements in the water. The only thing that took me out of my thoughts, was stepping on something small and solid in the sand. Curious, I picked it up – it was the other half of Laura’s sisters charm.

What had I done this time? was the first thought in my mind. But, I hadn’t done anything! I was certain of it this time. Then, why would she take it off?

Why?

I looked around, and saw a set of small footprints by the lake. They looked about Laura’s size. There was another set of footprints too… But only one set. And they were bigger, too.

However, I hadn’t stepped over there yet. And – checking over my shoulders to confirm my theory – I was the only human here. I saw the older Laura and Jun in the distance, but if they had come over here, wouldn’t there be two sets?

I blinked for a while, pondering.

What if it was Arkana? I thought worriedly.

No, a voice told me confidently. He couldn’t have done this.

Then, who else? There was only one other known evil child… But I hadn’t seen her in so long… It was that girl named Aiymee…

I growled. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that, too. Aiymee took Laura. How dare she even think about hurting my friend…

I’d make her pay. No mercy.

[Haruko]

Aiymee Haruda

I had led Laura, who told me her name after Fluatamon using her Silent Mind Wave attack on her. I had Fluatamon make her follow me as we went to a cabin that Hypnosimon left for me.It was pretty big, atleast bigger than the other camping cabins set around her. Fluatamon set the fire, and I sat down on the couch, having the body of Laura sit down next to me. Fluatamon locked the door behind me, and we started the extraction..

I closed my eyes, as she closed hers, and I placed my hands on her temples.Memories of her's overflooded me, and for a quick second...I actually thought I was Laura.I felt scared, afraid...hopeless.But I quickly got those emotions back to Laura before anything really serious happened.

Memories of her dad dieing, what seemed to be a mother who could give less than a damn of her. Then memories of her sneaking in to the Digimon Summer Convention, and of a old lady in a strange booth. Then pictures of a Red Eyed boy with glasses, hitting her, kissing her...even slashing his sword at her--though I remembered I had possessed him, it was fun to watch it form a victim's view.

I soon found myslef left with her happy memories of her getting engaged to Satoshi, and Haruka..was with them(well, not with him when he said yes, but I mean in general).I then gave her her memories back(thats not a typo), and looked through her powers..

And I only found one,Mech Swallow. She never used it before, but it wasn't really an attacking spell. She wasn't any true use to me, but she would be perfect bait for Someone that I've controlled before, a A+ Student at Aiymee's school of Betrayal...Satoshi.I let go of her temples as she started to transform,"Into something Beautiful" Fluatamon said.

She now had Raven black hair, and a black dress instead of a instead of her pink one. She adorned pale skin...she looked perfect..

"Kawaii!!"I said, smiling at her while she looked, emotionless to me.She then tried to place a smile on her face, but had a little tough time."Who had hurt you in the past, and deserves payback?"

"Satoshi.."
"Who's evil and should be exterminated?"
"Auny"
"Who's a weakling and a mortal?"
"Haruka"

'Perfect, time to bring her to show all the CC twerps. I would most likely loose control over her as Fluatamon tried her grasps on Satoshi's mind, but it is worth it.'I thought as we both stood up. She looked...so evil. Yet she only had one useless power to her name..

So Me,Laura and Flutamon stepped outside, and walked slowly, my purple pladed school uniform skirt brezzing in the wind. We soon came into view of a Angry Auny, and Satoshi..and the rest of their CC group. And with Haruka in the bunch..

"What did you do to Laura!"Auny and Satoshi yelled at the same time.I smiled coldly,and Laura did the same..
"I only gave her a bit of reality.Life isn't always happy, right?"I told them, and nudged on Laura...

"Make Satoshi come here...do whatever you have to do, but make him come over here."I whispered in her ear. She then nodded, and started to walk over to Satoshi.

"Satoshi...."She said silently. He stared at her for a second, and seemed in a trance."Come here, please."

And he followed her, like a sick puppy dog on a tight leash.I stared at she did it, and I was soon face to face with my cousin..
"Aiymee?"He asked, almost shocked when Laura stood next to me..

"Fluatamon, do your work."I told her, and Soon,following a Musical Notes and a Silent Mind Wave--He was in my control. Laura looked at me with fear, her hair now golden and her dress was a pink......

[Roy Karrde]

Allright what happens next was allready layed out by Poli, I am even going over it with her as I write this.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What, where, where was I, what was I doing, everything was so blury and wierd. Suddenly my mouth was overwhelmed with a thick gungy feel, I doubled over and began to puke the contents up, it was like a black sludge that flew out of my throat, a black sludge that just seemed to be coming and coming, eventually it all came up and I was able to look around. There was that woman, that one that tried to hurt me, she was here, I began to back away frightened at what would happen next, I continued to back away until I bumped into some one..Satoshi.

"Oh thank goodness, Satoshi something awful happened" I cried hugging him as tightly as I could. Satoshi looked down at me and with a forceful shove, pushed me to the ground, my head began to ring as soon as I hit the ground and my jaw felt numb. Satoshi turned his back to me and began to walk toward everyone else, his sword in his hand now.

I slowly got up and rubbed my head, Satoshi was going to try to kill them, he was and it was my responcability to protect him. "Satoshi" I yelled running over to him and clung to his leg to try to slow him down. "Satoshi it's me Laura, your love" I begged he turned to me with his cold emotionless eyes.

"Get off, or I'll cut your head into bite sized pieces." He yelled placing the sword just inches from my head, I let my hands slip a little in fear but I had to slow down, if I didnt everyone would be dead. Satoshi leaned his foot back and gave me a swift kick in the head to knock me on the ground, he followed it up with slamming his foot under my hand crushing it, he mashed it a little more as I screamed out pain, begging him to stop.

"Lowsy *****" He smirked, I craddled my hand trying to make the pain go away. I looked up at Satoshi again wondering why he would do that, he turned to face me, and took a few steps back. He took up a fighting stance bringing his sword into a attacking position, a circle of light formed along the ground, while his sword began to get brighter and brighter until it became a blinding light.

"Laura" Haruka screamed running toward me, she picked me up in one arm and flung me a few feet in one swift motion, I flew outside of the circle and skidded along the ground. I turned and in a silent horror I saw a pink bubble raise around Haruka, a second later the whole area inside the circle that had contained Satoshi and Haruka became pure white, with a small bit of pink glowing inside of it, and then the pink faded.

The light faded a minute later, Satoshi collapsed to his knees, and Haruka lay on the ground, motionless. Satoshi began to cry, heavily. Meanwhile Haruka's legs began to turn into butterflies and flew off. I walked over to Satoshi holding my hand. "Satoshi?" I wispered walking up to him. Satoshi wouldnt answer he just continued to bawl his eyes out. "Satoshi? are you okay?" I asked still no responce.

"I killed...her" Satoshi wispered, I droped to my knees placing my head on his shoulder, the blood from the torn side of my face when Haruka threw me flooded down the side of his shirt. I placed a arm around him and then I tried bringing my other arm around him but just the mear touch of my broken hand caused me to begin to sob in pain.

Satoshi's eyes rolled back into his head and he droped to the ground, my hand was caught under neith his back. I screamed out in pain again but he didnt even come close to waking up."It's okay, Laura I.." Haruka wispered her voice growing horse. I turned to look at her, both of our eyes filled with tears. "Laura, out of everyone that Satoshi could marry, I'm glad it's you, you two share a special love, one that cant easily be found" Haruka said, her body floating into butterflies, she closed her eyes and the last of her body became butterflies. The butterflies flew into the air and merged into a White Digiegg with dark pink stripes. The digiegg slowly flew down to me and landed into my lap.

I looked at the Digital egg in shock and horror and then turned to the rest of the group who just stood around in silence. "Haruka's gone" I wispered at them.

Jun Wakami
-------------------
"Laura..are you okay?" I coughed rising up from where I guess both of us had fallen, leaving June alone with god knows who. The sound of a girl moaning next to me drew my attention, I could bearly make out Laura's shape through my good eye.

"Jun, what happened?" Laura coughed, I rolled over next to her, and used my arm to prop her head up. "Thanks" She said smiling weakly.

"Are you two okay?" Some one yelled I turned my attention away from Laura to see Kari running up toward us, she eventually got to us and offered a helping hand to help both of us up. At that point I got a chance to look around, everyone was there including Morrgan with her new Digimon. "Satoshi got possessed, Haruka has warned none of us to go.." Kari yelled over the gathering sound, it sounded like a freight train building up speed.

Suddenly the sound of a sonic boom and a flash of light hit us and we were all thrown on to the ground, when the light cleared Satoshi was on the ground and Haruka was....dead. "Haruka" Laura wispered I got back up to my feet and squeezed her hand as tightly as I could. "I thought none of us could die" She wispered her eyes bedded with tears.

I rubbed the side of my face where my dead eye was, it was a reminder of the toll this journey had taken on me, and now the digital world had claim some thing else from our group, this time it was much worce. "I think that little safe guard may be down now" I wispered back to her, right now we had to worry about Kenichi and Satoshi, both of them had just lost family, and we could be the next to fall.

[Thargor]

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

Haruka was dead... A piece of my family that I had known for only a few days, but she was gone already. I didn't feel any immiediate pain from it, but a sort of hollowness that I had last experianced when Otaru had...

My eyes flashed at the girl smirking at our group, banishing away the pain from the present and the past. We were in danger and if we didn't act more of us could die in a similar fashion. I would not lose anymore of my friends... I would not lose my brother either.

Sparing a glance at Satoshi where he lay unconcious, I felt more than a little twinge at anger. My newfound brother had been jerked around for quite awhile since we had been brought here... He didn't deserve such treatment, nor did the rest of us. I would make sure this girl would have to go through me to hurt anyone else...

A thought suddenly struck me, as I glanced at the lakes behind us. I could make a wish now! I could wish for Haruka to come back using the power of the lake!

"I wish for Haruka to regain her life once more!" I shouted at the lake itself. The surface of the lake seemed to shimer with light, then it just turned back to normal, a huge blatting noise coming from the water itself.

The girl Aiymee laughed loudly. "Sorry there little fighter, the Wishing Lakes don't have the power to bring things back to life from the dead. Too bad, it would have been such a good wish."

I glared back at her, matching her haughty gaze with my own stoic one. Then, Rigiamon began to talk to me silently within my own head, outlining a new wish. I kept the look of surprise off of my face, and silently agreed with my partner.

"Then..." I said slowly. "I wish for Rigiamon to regain all of his lost Rimon data, now!"

The Lakes once more were bathed in light, but this time their brightness did not abate. Shafts of light penetrated the surface, curving into the air at tremendous speeds in many different directions. One slammed into Aiymee's digimon partner before refocusing on Rigiamon. For a moment my partner was as bright as a lightbulb, making my own eyes spotty for a moment. Then all of the fireworks were over, and Rigiamon stood there, all in one piece.

Aiymee's digimon, however, was looking more than a little bit woozy. The evil girl herself was looking at her digimon in surprise, for the first time a look of uncertainty entering her stance. It was time for my attack.

"Rigiamon, Auny, get the others to a safe place! I'll hold her off!" Without looking to see if my plea was obeyed, I felt the liquid rock cover my body as I ran towards Aiymee, the ground beneath my feet shaking as the Earth matched my own intentions...

[Toxicity]

I'd like to inform you that my name may eventually change to Kikyo.

~*~Laura Rider - Ice~*~
[Weak? No. Stupid? No. Insane? Partially. Headstrong? Yes.]

Haruka...dead. We had lost a Digidestined, that I have heard about for only a few "days", but have never talked to. All she was now was a white digiegg with a design of dark pink stripes covering it. I had noticed Kenichi was trying to fight this Aiymee girl alone...only telling Rigiamon and Auny to 'get the others to a safe place'. I grew a feeling inside that I couldn't leave. Not because I'm a headstrong girl willing to fight for the hell of it, because something inside wants me to, as if I had to.

As the others followed Aunyalia and Rigiamon out of the area, I stood there, glaring at Aiymee and the woosy-looking Flautamon. My cousin Kouji with his dog-like Digimon stopped, trying to pull my arm with him.

"Laura, what are you thinking? We gotta get out of here!" He said, as if he were a wimp...though I understood he wasn't.

"I can't..." I said quietly, stepping forward a small bit, "It's my duty to stay here...just in case Kenichi can't hold the two femmenine forms of darkness off." He shrugged, before leaving with his Digimon, leaving me and Arwen. I unsheathed my ice katana(I'm still thinking of a name for it) quickly, glaring outward as the ground trembled below my feet.

["yobikata mo tomadou iro no sugata/toritachi ni yousha naku tsutsukareru darou" Hybrid Rainbow[Furi Kuri Insert Song/By The Pillows]]

"Lately I've been worrying about you,Akina-onee-chan."I heard a voice say from the doorway. I positioned myself, looking towards Akira.She held some soda in her hands, and a small smile on her face.She walked over to the window, which I sat besides on a chair, and sat down on the chair besides me.

"Why..would you say that?"I asked her polietly, taking the lemon-lime soda out of her hands, and opening it.
"You've barely moved since Aiymee was placed in the hospital."She answered, opening her Orange soda 20oz. She looked at me with concern, and I plastered a fake smile on my face.

"I've just been thinking about Haruka and Aiymee.."I replied, Akira bringing out her D-Scanner out. Hers was different than mine, with a Ice Blue Base and a White grip, and a different rim around the screen. It was because on our first adventure, me and Arnen both could evolve an extra level called "Hyper Spirit Evolution", with using 10 spirits a pop, 5 different elements.

"And about Gali.."I finished. Gali was the CC of darkness on our first adventure, and on our second adventure, he was corrupted by Lucemon.
"Oh..you know he moved after that, right?"She replied to me. I sighed, nodding in her reply. My brown hair moved along, coming over my shoulders.

Ok, so in the book, Me and Gali really liked eachother, though we didn't really tell eachother. On our first adventure, in what we call "Valentines Town"(OoC:Which is now Tama Market), Valentinmon had shot me with his arrow, along with a lot of other CC, and I feel more madly in love with Gali. It later ended, with Akira almost saving Valentinmon from one of Lucemon's henchmen.But I still feel the effects from it, only they aren't produced from Valentinmon's Arrow, but my own love for him.

On our second mission, thing's grew....or things deflated. Matters how you see it. My spirit was at Spirit Memorial. Lady Devimon was waiting then(Akina fought her in the first adventure), and I recieved my 3rd Spirit(though it was the only one I was carrying, I now have all 3). But after defeating her, Gali came in his spirit form,Pendulumon. He then destoryed me in on blow...

And I reformed into a digiegg. Digiegg's normally pick the owner close to them, and normally, me loving Gali and being concerned for him, my egg flew to him. He carried me off, with the other's pleding for my egg back.

"Did you really hate us for that time being?"Akira asked, like she could read my thoughts. But I suppose she knew what I was thinking about because, after all, we are twins.
"Yeah.."I replied..

Lucemon, then, after a day or so, gave Gali a "Hatching Crystal", which held a pink glow. He said that placing it near my egg would allow me to hatch quickly. Once then, whatever was told to her, she would believe.They told me that the 10 other children, besides me and Gali, were up to destroy the digital world.Though this was a lie, I believed it, and helped Gali try to destroy the 10 CC, never showing my true form..

Untill one day, they defeated me and I de-evolved into myself. They soon took me off, away from Gali. I kept on trying to get away from them, until a image of Seraphimon stood before me, and re-hypnotized me, setting me straight. And I grew feelings for regret for not being with Gali...at the end, we defeated Lucemon once and for all, and saved Gali from his grips. He then though, moved away from where I lived...and I haven't seen him since..

"Akina...stop crying.."I heard Akira say. I touched my face, and felt tears rolling down my cheek's. I sniffled,and she handed me a tissue..."You do still love Gali...do you?"

"More than Minoru?"She asked more.I nodded. Minoru was my husband.And though I still love him, I do love Gali still. I looked into my own D-Scanner..Akira left the room, and I was by myself again, with Aiymee's sleeping body.

'Gali...Daisuki..'



Aiymee Haruda
["taisetsu na jikan o/zutto mamotte kureta ne/yukkuri to dakeredo hitotsu dake/kitsuke ita koto tsukaetai kara"Hitotsu Dake; Only One[CardCaptor Sakura-Sakura Song]]

Haruka was dead after protecting little Laura from Satoshi's full power of his Holy Orb, "Holy Sword Blaster". Her Digiegg flew to the little Laura, and shaked everyone in their shoes..thinking they could die the same way. How didn't they know Haruka is the only one that could die??!!?I let my grip over Satoshi drop afterwards, and he fell asleep.

"Rigiamon, Auny, get the others to a safe place! I'll hold her off!"One of the CC yelled at the other CC. One of them stood behind as Haruka's Digiegg and Satoshi's unmoving body were carried off. The earth around him formed around him, making a armour. I made a stance as he moved towards me, and Fluatamon looked at him...

"Musical Notes"She said silently. The notes went through the armour, and soon, you had a dazed, in a bliss Earth CC. I looked at Fluatamon, smiling..

"Silent Mind Wave"She said again, and soon, the Earth CC was in my control..I closed my mind, and started to read it..He's Satoshi's brother..making him family to me. I smiled in glee as I opened my eyes, and looked..

The boy, Kenichi, started to glow with a bright light as a "S" on my anklet started to tug more strongly than anyother time something on it tugged or glew...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I wanted to go with Laura, to go and fight Aiymee and make her pay for what she did, but I had my hands full at the moment. Litterly I had Satoshi ballanced on one side with my good arm, and Auny holding him up on the other side.

"There's the hotel...er motel" David yelled out, the remaining members let out a sigh of relief as we walked toward it. Luckly the guy there gave us rooms for free, so it was no trouble in getting a room.

I walked Satoshi to our room and layed him on the bed Auny asked if I needed anything and I shook my head no. The motel room was really nice, it had a Tv, and a mini kitchen complete with a stove and a small fridge. I pulled up a chair to Satoshi's bed and took his hand. "Hang in there my love" I wispered holding his cold hand, while placing Haruka's Digiegg on the pillow next to him with my bad hand, which was bandaged up.

"Laura...?" Satoshi moaned I almost jumped out of my chair when he said my name.

"Yes I'm here" I replied never letting go of his hand.

"Haruka?" He said this time his voice was fainter, I guess he was just talking in his sleep. The next few days were going to be really hard for him, they were going to be hard for all of us.

"How's he doing?" Kari asked appearing behind me, I kept my mouth shut and placed a damp cloth on his forehead to catch any sweat. "Hey there's this store across the street here, they sell some food, we need to get some supplies anyway, why dont you come along with me" She suggested, I just sat back down and held his hand, then I remembered what Aoi had told me, about Satoshi loving Pizza, if I could get some stuff to make Pizza maybe I could make him some for when he woke up.

"Do..you know how to make Pizza, and what ingrediance it takes?" I asked, Kari seemed to almost go estatic at this.

"Oh I know everything about Pizza" Kari smiled, I smiled back weakly and got up from the chair, I leaned over and kisssed Satoshi on the forehead just above the cloth and followed Kari out the door. That was when I realized, I had no idea on how to make a Pizza.

[Arnen]

~`~`Kari [Pizza gewd ]`~`~

A glance at her told me she didn't know how to make pizza. "Don't worry about it, mom makes pizza all the time. They probably have a mix for the crust, that's the hardest part. Now what kind of pizza should we make?"

"Japanese," she said. I frowned; I'd never made that before. "It's got eggs on it," she added.

I nodded. "Ok. I'll make Hawaiian for myself."

We walked into the store, and it only took me a few moments to grab a shopping cart and lead Laura down the dairy section for cheese. Finding a bag of shredded mozzerella and cheddar, I threw it into the cart and continued a few aisles down for sauce. They didn't have any big jars of it, so I got a few smaller ones. Then I found a bag of crust mix, the kind mom always used back home. Now all that was left was the toppings. Eggs were easy to find, as were pineapples, and I got a bag of this bacon stuff that could be put in the oven to cook. We payed for all of it and brough it all in a big bag back to my hotel room.

[Haruko]

The character that I'm writing for the sign up, I won't really write for unless I need to.He's basically a "partner" in crime with Aoi, like Satoshi.And he stays in the RW for the whole RPG.

Name:Hirokazu (called Hiro for short) Kinamoto
Gender:Male
Age:15(recently turned)
Personality:Hirokazu is...a..I suppose you can say he's verging into otaku-dom. He's got a cool attitude, with a mature mind so to speak. He's nice to people of "his kind", and is shy to other people. He tends to look on the past a lot for answers to his present life, and tends to judge people by first glance.He hates adults that seem to be too carefree, and also dislikes unmatured teenagers.
Looks:Hirokazu is around 5'8", with gleaming emerald eyes that are so rare.He's got black hair that's actually sorta long for a guy's cut, with it near his neck.It's very sloppy though.He wears earbud-headphones, that are black when you pop them out.He wears a black shirt with a picture of a spaceship similar to Spike's from Cowboy Bebop on it, with the Honoo symbol on the front of his shirt.He has a Backpack on, the kind that goes like \ on the chest, then have the pack on the back. He has his cd-player in the back, with a long headphone wire coming to his front. The strap on the front has a pocket for his Cellphone(a one that can take pictures.).The backpack is a silver color. His pants are denim blue jeans, with a little baggy feel to them. He wears black and red Nikes.^^
Element:Fire, only slightly though.He doesn't hold the orb though.
D-Sense Color:He doesn't have one. However, his Cellphone serves as one.
Spells:
1.Fire Starter: Only a simple attack, small fireballs can emerge from his hand.
Digimon:Labramon protects him only because she can sense Hiro's connection with Aoi
Relationships:He's friends with Aoi and Satoshi, but seem's to have the hot's for Aoi, but doesn't show it.
Other:He listen's to J-Rock a lot.^^

I'll post as Aoi tomorrow.

Rigiamon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had only begun to herd the group away to the nearby hotel when my chest felt as if it were being torn out. The pain wasn't my own, however, it was Kenichi's alone. Our connection alone seemed to actually be dulled by the pain, as if Kenichi himself were becoming blurry to me... What was happening?!

As I turned about face, I let my power loose as I darted away silently from the group. I doubted any of them would notice I wasn't around for some time, but that didn't matter at the moment, only Kenichi. The ground, my surroundings, nothing seemed to matter to me at the moment. My vision was that of only a dark tunnel, with a light at the end...

I came to a stop as I saw the older Laura infront of me. Dust and grass clumps flew over my head as I came to a stop. Laura was holding an icy looking blade, with a stunned, wide-eyed expression on her pale face.

"Laura, where is Keni-" I halted in midsentence as I turned my head to the right. My eyes widened in surprise and horror.

The scene was an unusual one, even for the Digital world. Off to the side were Aiymee and her digimon Fluatamon. Aiymee was backing off from the area, her face white in the light that bathed her, the source a scant few meters away from her. Fluatamon, however, was stuck on the ground, its grotesque face twisted into extreme pain, too far gone to even scream. Then, floating several feet above the ground, was Kenichi.

Is that another orb... Was the first thought that crossed my mind, as I saw Kenichi up there. His entire body was like a flame, not a single place dark... But to the left side of his chest, right where his heart should be, a swirling ball of color resided that was stronger than any other part of his body. An elemental orb of power I had not witnessed before, actually welded with Kenichi's body! An orb that had somehow been activated... My eyes widened as I realised what was happening.

For every moment that I watched, Kenichi's distinct features were growing fuzzier, as the light demanded more and more out of him... Something his body, his data could not give at this time. My partner was not prepared for this strain, and would die in a very real manner if I did not do something soon.

I did not let another thought cross my mind besides activating one of my Rimon programs dealing with energy absorption. I leapt up to Kenichi, my friend, and brought all of my arms around him. Or at least as close as I could, as I felt an invisible wall surround the child. Linking myself to him, pain engulfed my own body as I syphoned off the power the orb was emitting. The very digital fabric around Kenichi was threatening to tear off, and the pain from the energy was making it hard to concentrate...

It clicked at that moment. Using the energy to push a little more, I felt the digital fabric strain. Kenichi would be killed with an activated orb like this in the digital world... He would not if he escaped back into the Real World, at least for a time...

Goodbye my friend... I will see you soon... I managed to project into Kenichi's mind before completing one final push. The air around the human boy rippled, then with a popping noise Kenichi was no longer there. At that moment, the orb, which dissapeared with my partner, threw its last energy at me.

I felt myself propelled backwards towards the lake at tremendous speed, slamming onto the surface like a rock, skipping as if it was made of rock. Feeling as if I broke the sound barrier, I continued on for some time, my own data trying desperately to hold together as it was ground into the mystical lake. Coming to a "stop" at the other side of the lake, I felt my body plunge into the what should have been soft soil on the other side. It took several seconds to completely stop. My data fizzled for a moment, then resolidifed as the excess energy from the orb was burned off...

As I slowly got to my feet, I wished my friend good luck...

-----------------------

Kenichi Tanaka (or is it Takinowa)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goodbye my friend... I will see you soon... Rigiamon's last thoughts came through the pain, even as my mind seemed to be coming out from a veil. I had no time to think on the subject, however, when I was suddenly filled with darkness.

It was not just dark around me, I was darkness itself. I didn't have hands, I didn't have eyes, I didn't even have a mouth to scream with. I was there, but not there at the same time... All I could feel was a sense of brief lonliness and terrible cold...

I woke up screaming, thrashing my arms at my sides. Tubes and wires covered portions of my body, and I choked for a moment. I looked down as I hacked, to see a clear tube running up the side of me, right into my mouth. Holding my breath for a moment, I slowly slid it out. Ripping the rest of the wires and tubes out of my arms and chest, I stepped woozily off the bed.

It appeared as if I was in a hospital... But I had no idea how I had gotten here... The clothes I had been wearing before the digital world were placed on a chair, a hospital gown covering my body. But clasped in my hand was my D-Sense, which was, for the moment, dark. Had I gotten back to the real world?

A nurse slammed open the door, and looked at me in shock. My screaming had obviously gotten me some attention. It was if the nurse was seeing a ghost as I stood there, trying to keep some dignity with the frail hospital garments.

"Doctor, another one is awake!" she shouted. Then, for the moment, she was gone. I heard something other things at the edge of my hearing, words like "parents" and "mystery" but nothing distinct. I suppose soon I would be facing a-

My thoughts halted as another woman stepped into the room from beyond. My knees locked into attention, as my eyes widened. Her belly, large with pregnancy shook as she panted slightly from the run she had obviously taken to get here. Her face was readily familiar to me, even though I had only seen it once in a picture.

Nervousness and politness slammed into my system, as I went into a deep bow that put my parallel to the ground, my knees still locked. Tears threatened at the edge of my eyes as I began to speak. "Hello... It is an honor to meet you... Okaasama*."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Dough fight" I screamed throwing a handful of Pizza dough back at Kari who had fired the first shot by hitting me square in the face with a big lob of dough. the food sailed effortlessly by Kari and splattered across the wall. Kari responded my chuncking another piece of dough at me which hit me square in the chest. "I give I give" I weased waving a napkin like a white flag. The kitchen was allready dirty but luckly the Pizza was allready in the oven and cooking.

"So what now?" I asked getting a good look around the room while scraping the left over dough off of my dress.

"Right now were going to make this room look very nice so that you and Satoshi will have a very special night together" Kari said taking down some candles from the cubboard, she brought them into the small living room like area where the kitchen and the bedroom connected. She sat the candles around the living room, while I cleaned down the table, placed a white cloath over the table, and finally placing a plastic rose in a glass vase on the table.

"Everything looks really nice" I commented looking around the room.

"Almost everything" Kari replied taking my hand and leading me in to the adjacent hotel room, which was supprisingly empty and the door to it unlocked. We spent so long in that room as Kari did my hair, she made it look pretty as she undid the braids and then ran through it with a comb many times. After that she placed lipstick on my lips which felt really wierd, she also placed eye shadow on my eyes, and some glittery stuff on my cheeks. Finally she helped me into the dress that I had worn only once in Primary town which was suprisingly clean.

"Thank you" I told her twirling around in the mirror I looked almost fourteen with all the new makeup on me and how my dress sparkeled from the lit candles in the next room.

"Now go in there and have fun" Kari motioned pushing me back into the living room of Satoshi and my's room. I was about to argue but she shut the door before I could leaving me in the room candle lit room, with the pizza on the table, and me looking really beautiful.

[Haruko]

Satoshi Takinowa

It was a sunny, warm spring day in April. The sunlight refracted off the buildings in Tokyo.The scenery was almost too realistic for a dream. I was sitting in a tree in the local park, just looking at the scenery. Me, Aoi and Hirokazu did this all the time, sitting on the biggest tree in the park, and talking and discussing the latest decks, music..etc.

But I was all alone this time. I looked across from me, then a little more towards the ground.I saw Hiro, with his back rooted, going more blondish towards his near-neck long hair cut..and Aoi. Her black hair was probably the most silkiest in Japan, with it glimmering in the sun, the Sakura Petals dancing to a unfamilar tune in the wind. One landed on her nose, and they both laughed about it, with Aoi blowing it off her nose, and grabbing it inbetween her thumb and ring finger, rubbing the softness against her baby-soft skin.

Hiro then, just seemed to gleam into her eyes, and her's into his. They leaned..and leaned...and leaned further. And for a second, time stopped as their lips touched eachothers. I watched silently, and time went back to normal, and they kissed. A French-style kiss...so to say...They then stopped, and suddenly, a flash of pink blinded me..

And it was I now who was sitting besides Aoi. Everything seemed perfect as I unwillingly told her jokes I told her as a kid, and she laughed innocently. She just smiled, her crimson dyed eyes watching my movements as I explained my emotion of bliss through my humor and my motions.

"Satoshi.."She said, her sweet voice unmatching to any heard before."Do you think...we will be together forever?"
"Forever....and a day."I told her, the cherry blossoms dancing to a more joyous tone played by the soft wind.

And it's then We locked eyes, looking into each other, grasping one anothers soul.She smiled sweetly as she leaned forth, as I preformed the same. At the exact moment, Our lips touched eachother, and we shared a joyous kiss.
"I...Love you Aoi."I told her, hugging her tightly, smelling her honeyblossom scent hair.I then looked ahead of me...and fell into shock.

A Smallfigure was ahead of me, looking into my eyes...with emotions of shock and dissapoinotment being displayed clearly.

Laura. And she ran away as I noticed her...

She saw it all.

---------

I woke up, my head leaning against a soft pillow, a cold bead of sweat running down my face. I quickly stood up, and saw Haruka's digiegg near my bed. I looked at it, in a daze...

And then, I smelt a fragrance of no other...well..besides Aoi's hair scent. It smelt of food...More like American Pizza that was tried to be formed into Japanese Pizza..I followed the aroma, and saw a glourious sight..

Candles lit, a table for two set up. And there stood a girl that looked like a princess, with her hair dolled up, make up on her face. She looked adult...then I noticed who it was---Laura..

And as I saw Laura, standing there magnificantly...I could only remember the feeling of kissing Aoi in my dream...

And I knew what I had to do...

I had to break up our engagement.

I'll post as Akira tomorrow.

[Roy Karrde]

I'm going to go on and post so that I can set some stuff for Annika

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everything seemed to go so slow, I guess that when you look back at things everything moved in normal speed, but for those brief few minutes, seconds seemed to pass like hours. I had walked up to Satoshi, leaned up to kiss him on the mouth, but he turned a cold cheak to me, I stoped half way realizing something was wrong. We both walked back to the table saying nothing. Satoshi wouldnt even look at me, he just started to take off his ring and speak slowly. At that moment I couldnt even hear him, his mouth was moving but I couldnt even understand the sound. He sat the ring on the table the sound resonated like a loud crash of thunder.

My vision seemed to become a sort of tunnel vision, I could only see the ring, the smooth round edge, the imperfections in the small jewels, the way the light reflected off the surface. Satoshi looked at me for a second and then slowly walked out of the room with out saying a word. I must of sat there for hours, maybe days, or maybe it was just a few minutes. I found the strength to get up from some untapped source in my body. I began to gather up the dishes and take them over to the sink where I scrubbed them, I scrubbed them, and I scrubbed them, I scrubbed them so so hard that the wool from the woolpad I used made my hands bleed a cold thick blood that washed over the dish.

When I was done for the dish I began to clean up around the kitchen, until I finally got to this bottle. This little red bottle, this simple red bottle. I had secretly bought it for Satoshi to drink it in celebration. I took the bottle in my hands and tossed it against the wall with every ounce of strength I had left in my body. Something must have happened, something queer. The wall was caught aflame from the candle sitting next to it, the candle used to set the setting for our dinner. I stood there watching the flame, watching it bathe over the wall, bathe over the celing, my whole world was caught in flame.

"Laura" A faint cry could be heard from behind me, I turned from the flame to see Kari, I knew Kari, or atleast I did. "Laura come here" She yelled. Was I this Laura? No I didnt want to be Laura, this Laura she was weak so weak that not even Satoshi would care about her. I was not this Laura.

And then everything snapped, it all came flooding back like a massive wave hitting the shore. Where I was at, what would happen if I didnt get out of the Inferno that was once the Hotel room. "Laura" Kari screamed I began to run in her direction when a large wood beam crashed through the celing creating a wall of fire between us.

I turned to grab the ring and make a run for the door when I realized what I was leaving in the other room. The backpacks, all of my stuff and Satoshi's stuff both in two different backpacks. The room that they were in was also in flames. Two backpacks. One choice. Mine was closer to the window, a easy excape. Satoshi's was in the back of the room next to the bed. Maybe, just maybe going after Satoshi's would prove myself to him. I went for Satoshi's.

When I grabbed it the door of the room fell infront of the beds catching the beds on fire and keeping me from excaping. The flames leaped from the bed, onto the floor, they encircled me, lapping at my dress, at my skin. Smoke filled the room, it was everywhere, it got into my clothes, into my hair, into my lungs. It filled my chest like a burning fire, the room began to spin as the fire began to burn isnide me too, it spun and spun as darkness closed in. "Help" I wispered before colapsing.

I woke up to a dark shadow, it blacked out everything, the sun, the sky, everything. "You okay?" A deep voice asked. It was Rigiamon as my eyes were able to adjust, I could see Rigiamon there, with Laura looking off to the side look on her face, and finally Aiymee behind them her eyes half opened. I began to raise up letting my ash soaked hair fall on my face, my dress which was once white was now pitch black. my skin the same kindof silky black. "Your lucky we got you out before you were roasted alive" Rigiamon sighed.

I finally raised up to a sitting position and let go of Satoshi's backpack and let the ring fall from my hand. "Where's Kenichi?" I breathed my lungs felt like they were cloagged with gallons of sute.

"He's gone" Rigiamon sighed, it took a few seconds to finally set in, Kenichi? gone? I got up to a somewhat standing position, the burns on my legs kept me from standing straight.

"I need to go talk to Auny" I said, Rigiamon began to protest but fell silent as I staggered toward Auny's apartment.

Jun Wakami
==================
"Laura" I yelled placing almost too much emotion in my voice as I ran up to her, She looked depressed, saddened, by something, all the while she was dragging Aiymee along who didnt seem to put up too much of a strugle except for the occasional grunts. "So where's Kenichi did he stay behind?" I asked Rigiamon just seemed to look away and Laura got a little choaked up.

Without a moments notice or a actual explination Rigiamon just seemed to take off running toward the apartments, where smoke was billowing out of one room. "Tell me everything" I said my voice getting a little more sollem and sad, Laura began to explain to me Kenichi's death or well disapearence while I took Aiymee's other arm and with a jerk dragged her along behind me.

We got to back to the motel in no time, Laura finished up on the details of what happened, the capture of Aiymee, and how she just didnt seem to put up a fight. Rigiamon's sudden disapearence was explained when we arrived at Satoshi's room to see a soot covered Laura laying on the ground making gasping noices while Rigiamon blew into her mouth. "I'm going to go tell Satosh" I told the older Laura, I didnt even think she was listening, after a bit of searching I found out that Satoshi had rented a room just a few minutes ago, when I arrived to it I found the door unlocked. "Satoshi?" I asked peaking into the room. Satoshi sat up from the table where he had a half eaten slice of Pizza and waved me in.

"I have some bad news, and some well even worce news" I began debating which to tell him first that his Fiance was traped in a fire and was having trouble breathing? or that his brother had disapeared off the face of the digital world?

The stuff about Satoshi getting a new room was allready confermed by Poli over AIM just a few nights before.

"Hello... It is an honor to meet you... Okaasama."The boy that stood before me said...His name was Kenichi. I looked at him as he kept in his bow, and felt my cheek's getting a little hot.
"You know, you can get up now."I smiled, looking at his body. He shook with nervousness, and gave out a aura of uncertainty. He quickly stood straight up as I closed the door behind me, still keeping grasp with my bottle of soda and my pocketbook.

"It might help if you go lay back in the bed."I smiled again, and giggled a little. He slowly walked back to the hospital bed, and I followed him to the chair besides him. I followed his movements with my eyes, and caught grasp of something in his hand....Something circular with a screen..

As we both sat down(well...he LAYED down..but..), I saw his eye's coming to a quiver...as of they were full of tears and he refused to let go. I looked into his eyes as a creepy silence overflooded the room, and his to my eyes. I felt him searching my soul for answers as I opened my mouth...

"You look, a lot like Satoru."I said quietly,"I might've not noticed it when you were first born, but now you look a lot like Satoru."

And then, his eye's started started to flow with a river of tears. I got up, and hugged him tightly, allowing his tears to go onto my shoulder.I smelt his hair, tugged on his shirt as the tears stoped. I sat back down, and handed Kenichi a tissue.

"I'm..so sorry Kenichi."I told him silently,"I'm not sure if I can make what I've done in the past fix it's self.."

"When you were a newborn, you came out before Satoshi. The doctors didn't think you had that much longer to live, but they could always try to extend your life by doing somethings. They said you would be in best care if I gave you to the government to pay for your care, and to take care of you."I told him, and he listened in."Satoru was away at business, so he didn't know about you...In fact, he still doesn't know about you."

"I guess I owe something to you.."I told him. I reached for my pocketbook, and grabbed for my D-Scanner..

I guess I really didn't know what to do.



I'll post more tomorrow.

I walked around my hotel room… Or apartment room. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was, which was strange; of all people I should know the difference. I liked this room, though. It was roomy enough. And the bed was fluffy – always a plus. I bounced up and down on it a few times once I was alone.

Then I got bored, and started doing laundry… There wasn’t much laundry to do. After all, I was only planning to go to the tournament. Like I would bring extra sets of clothes for that. I did find a few socks, and I took delight in shrinking them.

The water had filled with bubbles, some of which now covered my forearms. The water was cold, and soon my arms were not only covered with bubbles, but chill-bumps and my skin was textured like a prune. Bubbles floated around me in the air from all the movement.

I then took to drying them with a hairdryer the apartment had provided me. It worked extremely well, even if it took a while. The incessant sound of the hairdryer covered up everything else, and, for the first time in my life, it sounded like music. The sound of a hairdryer – something I’ve always despised – was the same here as the real world. A lot of other things were too, but the heat was the same, too…

Dry the inside of the sock…


Kenichi…


Fold. Fold together.


Where was he?


Unfold.


He should be back by now, if anything. He should be safe, and I should be splashing him with bubbles in celebration right now.


Fold again.


So why wasn’t he here? Where was he?

Unfold.


Why was it so silent? Shouldn’t there at least be an explosion, some kind of sounds from the battle if it was still ensuing?


Fold.


Was that smoke I smelt a while ago? No, it couldn’t be….


Fold. Unfold.


Kenichi…


Throw the stupid socks on the bag.


I went back over to the sink… Sadly, the bubbles were mostly gone, and those remaining were too small to do anything. I smiled a little, and drained the sink of its soapy contents. It swirled down the drain slowly, the water level slowly lowering. I grabbed the already damp towel and wiped off the counter tops. It wasn’t exactly the way it was when I first entered, but now at least it was clean.

I walked backwards, and fell face-up on my bed. It was still fluffy, even if I had landed on my bag. I was honestly bored.

There was still nothing going on outside… at least nothing I could see or hear. I listened to the sound of my breathing and examined my nails – surprisingly not chipped yet. Simply amazing. I was admiring fingernails, when there was a knock on my door.

“Come in!” I called, and sat straight up.

“Auny?” It was Laura. She opened the door and peeked her head in.

I smiled widely and gave a little wave. “Yo.”

She walked in and shut the door behind her. She looked charred.

“What happened?” I asked, immediately concerned, while getting up and walking to her. She opened her mouth the speak, when I noticed the burns on her legs.

“Oh my gosh!” I half-gasped half-screamed, then composed myself. “Come on, sit down.” I nodded toward the bed. “It’s very fluffy.”

She made her way over and sat down, legs hanging off the sides. I grabbed another towel, and dampened it. Her face – well, her whole body – was covered in soot. I gently touched her face with the towel, and a small smudge of pale skin appeared. The towel, of course, was immediately black.

“Oh look,” I teased. “There’s a face underneath.”

Laura was quiet, then said, almost silently: “Auny…”

“Honestly, what did you do?”

“Auny…”

I stopped and tilted my head. “What is it?”

“I-it’s…” She began, and then stopped short. “Something bad happened.”

My stomach plummeted. “To whom?” My voice was unnaturally high.

“There was an accident.” She said. “Kenichi… he…” She wasn’t able to say it.

I swallowed, then found my hands brushing the soot off her face with the towel again.

“Auny?” She asked again, her voice oddly distant. She started again. “Kenichi… he’s…”

I don’t know what happened next. The room blurred, and salty tears rolled nonstop down my cheeks. My forehead fell against Laura’s shoulder, while I just sobbed loudly.

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

"I guess I owe something to you.." my mother said softly, as she reached into her purse. For a moment, I turned stock still as she turned away. What was she going to do? Give me a handout? Try to push me away by giving me something?

Quickly I dismissed those thoughts and the surprising amount of anger that came attached. This was a chance for me to be with my mother for at least a moment, wasting it with matters that could only hurt the both of us further.

I recovered by the time she turned around, the half smiling, half shocked expression still plastered on her face. In her hand, which had begun to shake a little to my dismay, was a device that looked vaguely similar to my own D-Sense...

"I was in the Digital world myself, quite some time ago now..." She began in a quiet voice. I found myself paying close attention as she spoke of her own journies within the digital world, which seemed to occur a bit differently than it had this time...

"... I see you also have a digital device..." She ended with a half smile, pointing at my D-Sense that I still clutched.

I managed a weak smile of my own. "Yes... It's my D-Sense. It sounds a bit different from your own though... None of us in the digital world this time can transform into digimon, we have digimon partners and elemental orbs which we can use to attack alone if the case arrises."

Akira nodded her head thoughtfully. "So... Do you have anyone we need to contact here now that you're awake? Parents, foster parents, guardians?"

I shook my head slowly, a very familiar smile coming over my face, one that embodied the emptiness of my words. "No... I don't have anyone in this world who wants me..."

A pain began slowly in my chest, but I ignored it, trying to brighten up my mood. "But as long as I can get back to the digital world, I suppose I can worry about where I'll be shuttled off next once everyone in the group is safe..." Thoughts of Satoshi, Auny, Rigiamon, and the others emerged with the comment...

---------------------------------

Rigiamon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The makeshift repairs I had made to my body seemed to be holding, but I would need to have some true rest before I could even begin to heal properly. But I had more to deal with now... The little one had gone to Aunyailia, despite her injuries. I had no illusions that Kenichi's accident would remain a secret from her. And from how the two had been acting towards each other, I could only imagine how she could react...

The situation between the two humans didn't puzzle me much... For some reason or another they enjoyed each other's company, and I had no reason to interfere with something that made Kenichi that happy. The memories of several absorbed memories from digimon that I had taken in the name of the Lunars dealt with this emotional attachment, but I myself had no first hand experiance, or truly wanted any. The closest I would ever get would be caring for my partner.

"Rigiamon!" Laura's muted voice came from behind the older girl's apartment door. Even in my weakened state, it did not take more than a couple of seconds to get inside and observe the situation.

Aunyailia had fainted, with the little girl trying to support her head. I noted that her face was streaked with tears, the girl was probably panicked then lost consciousness. I silently moved over to her side, and brought her up to lie on the bed. Little Laura moved with me, an anxious expression on her face.

"I shouldn't have told her..." she whispered, her face still streaked with black.

"She would have known sooner or later," I said in a soothing voice. "If you could, would you wet one of those towels for me?"

The little girl solemnly obeyed, bringing the piece of cloth to me quickly. I folded it, placing it on Aunyailia's head. We only had to wait a couple of moments before the girl's eyes flickered and she shot up from the bed.

"Kenichi....!" She half shouted, her eyes taking time to focus on her surroundings. It took her a moment, but as she saw both Laura and myself in the room, she seemed to compose herself. Slowly, she took the towel off her forehead, and gave Laura a weak smile.

"Laura... Would it be alright if I spoke to Rigiamon for awhile?"

The little girl nodded quickly, seemingly having no urge to cross anyone's path. Absentmindedly I patted her head as she moved out of the apartment, and closed the door. With the click, Auny took a little breath, then her barriers came down. Tears once more flowed freely from her eyes, a couple of sobs escaping. She looked at me, a desperate look on her face.

"What happened? Tell me the truth... Is Kenichi... alive?"

I nodded quickly. "Kenichi is still alive, I was able to do that much at the end... Aiymee, the Lunar controlled girl attempted to take over his mind when he faced her. It had the unexpected result of awakening a power within him, an orb I'm guessing, and a powerful one at that. It was too soon for him though, and threatened to tear apart his data so badly that I doubt any egg could ever have formed if it had gone on for too long..."

"Where is he?" She asked quickly.

I shook my head. "That, I cannot be sure of... To make sure he wouldn't be killed by the force of the orb, I had to make sure he was no longer in the digital world..."

"So he's in the real world?" she asked, a look of hope entering her face.

"Possibly... He could be trapped between the two worlds, but either situation is only a temporary situation. He'll be sent back here to the Digital world, the orb will see to that... At most, it should take about a day or two considering the energy involved... He could even be back now."

"Wouldn't you know?" She asked quietly.

A frustrated sigh left me. "Our link is strong, but not built for long distances... I can only detect him if he is within my range, the only thing I do know that he is alive... And when he returns to this world, it could be anywhere... And he most likely will be on his own..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I didnt know where I was going to sleep for the night, I know that I couldnt stay with Auny, and everyone else seemed to not have egnough space, so I ended up standing infront of Satoshi's door, he hated me, for some reason he really hated me, but I knocked anyway. And Jun answered the door.

"I..I" I stood there standing at the door with my mouth gaping open, Jun nodded and walked out of the room leaving the door open, Satoshi was sitting on the bed, his eyes red from tears. "I have no where else to go" I said letting his backpack fall from my hands.

"Laura, I.." Satoshi began to say getting off the bed and walking over to the door, he kept one hand on the door, the other on the frame.

"I..I cant stay anywhere else..please dont make me sleep out in the cold" I begged getting on my knees infront of him. Satoshi bent down and helped me up.

"You can stay here" Satoshi smiled, leading me over to the bed, I was...well I didnt know what to say, Satoshi walked over to the bathroom and returned with a wet towel, he helped me wash my legs, my arms, and the rest of my face. "Try to get some sleep now, I'm going out but I'll be back soon" He said raising the covers up off the bed and allowed me to slip underneith the covers.

I snuggled down into the warm sheets of the bed and placed my head on the comfortable pillow. "Sleep tight" Satoshi wispered leaning down and kissing me on the forehead, I blushed.

"Satoshi..I love you" I wispered as he turned off the lights, he stood there for a second, and smiled, then he walked out the door locking it behind him.

'~'

"There you are" Jason yelled running up to me. I could hardly believe my eyes, it was..Jason..he was here..in the Digital World..but it wasnt the Digital World it was Earth, we were back home, on a nice spring day.

"I've been looking all over for you" He said, Jason hadnt aged a day since I saw him two years ago, he was ten, and so was I. He reached up and brushed some hair out of my face with his soft hand.

"I.. I had something to do, I..was away" I studdered out still trying to soak in the situation. Jason smiled and leaned in, this time the kiss was different, he bit down on my upper lip for a second, it wasnt a painfull bite but a loving bite. We both leaned our forheads together, he moved his mouth lower and kissed me fully on the lips this time.

I let the feeling, the moment sink in, then I realized what I was doing. With all my strength I pushed him away from me and wiped my mouth with my sleeve. "I cant..I love some one else" I told him with a bit of force in my tone, Jason looked hurt, and shocked. Yet that wasnt the real Jason, Jason would be understanding and realize what I ment.

The world seem to melt away like terpentine over a painting.The scene was replaced with me laying on a couch with Aiymee standing over me, her fingers deep into my scalp. "I have created the perfect monster" Aiymee laughed her fingers digging in deeper

"I'm a monster?" I wispered, feeling the blood trickle down my face. Auny walked over to me from behind Aiymee.

"She's the perfect monster, she will destroy the group" Auny laughed a deep throated laugh like the ones you hear from villians in the movie.

Satoshi walked out from behind Auny, his chest bleeding. " She ripped my heart out, she killed me, she is a monster " Satoshi said sadly touching his chest where his heart should be.

"You will kill us all, kill us all, kill us all" They chanted over and over till they surounded me, and bent down, as they continued to chant "Kill us all, kill us all"

'~'

"No" I screamed rising up in the bed suddenly, I was covered in sweat, my hair damp, my skin clammy. "I'm a monster" I cried taking the covers up to my face, I felt so small so vuluable. Worst of all Satoshi wasnt even back yet. Slowly I got off the bed and took the comforter with me, wraping it around me like a shaw. I also picked up a pillow and opened the door. Outside was where Satoshi layed shivering.

"He didnt want to sleep in the same room as me" I sniffed laying down on the concrete next to him, I slid the pillow underneith his head and layed the comforter above both of us so that it would keep us warm for the night. "I'm sorry" I wispered to him, placing a kiss on his cheek. It may have been biterly cold that night, but I felt so warm, and comforted by snuggling up close to Satoshi, and placing a arm around his waste.

The thing with Satoshi will be explained by Poli it is something she plotted out and I hope my post adapted to it properly.

~*~*~Laura Kimura Rider(she plans to hide her surname "Rider" eventually)~*~*~
[size=1]["boku-tachi wa, samayoi nagara/ikite yuku, doko made mo/shinjite'ru, hikari motome/arukidasu, kimi to ima..." ~F-kai Mori---Do As Infinity(Inu-Yasha 2nd ending)][/size=1]

I was sitting there, knealing on my knees on the banks of the lake closest to the "hotel", cleary reflecting light in its dark blue murkiness of the night. The gibbous moon shown as much as it could, eventually-in a few days-it would be full. I looked up with slight emotion in my eyes, confused on my next objective. I was
no help at all...as far as I know, merely a puppet of the celestials, I probably didn't belong here...but..why did they choose me as a digidestined?

Sighing, I slowly closed my eyes to clear my thoughts...as I slowly drifted into imagination.
-------
I was at the starting place of my imagination...a dark sky, much like space...as I purely stood...floated there. I felt myself slowly sinking into a pool of water...which held fallen rocks and the skeleton of a water demon. I held my breath as much as I could, but let it go...realizing I could breath.

'This truely is....imagination....' I thought to myself, as a rippling silvery ribbon extended out, as if it wanted me to grab onto it. I clinged my hand slightly to it, as it began to pull me up. The sun's rays shined upon the surface, as I slowly swam to the edge and emerged. Oddly, I wasn't wet. But...an awkward feeling developed in my stomach, and I threw up...a pure lime-ish liquid of juices...no food bits. Dazed, I glanced around the forest until I reached a well...an ancient japanese well. Blinking, realizing my mind was playing trick on me...I just looked around, before I sensed one's prescence, and turned around, realizing 10 beasts in shadows with glowing red eyes(everybody's(except her's and Jun's) partner at Ultimate level), staring at me. Wondering why they were this was, I slowly stepped back, ending up against the well....

"Go to where you belong, Laura-oneesan....Go to where you belong..." They chanted over and over again, and I didn't get what I meant.

"But...I don't get what you mean...." I said, starting to cry slightly because of stressful confusion. But, all I got was the same chanting. Eventually, everybody, except Jun, stepped out, staring without emotion at me....Satoshi, June, Haruka, Aoi, Kenichi, Auny, Morrigan, David, Kari, and Kouji.

"Laua-oneesan....you must find where you belong...." The digidestined chanted...continuing to look a bit emotionless.

"B-B-But...." I stuttered, starting to burst into tears, "I...I s-still don't un-underst...stand..." They all continued chanting, as the digidestined gained in towards me... forcing me completely against the well. Kouji stepped out, with his hands reaching out, only blinking once, before pushing me into the wel...as I slowly fell through a void of dark blue and black.

"Good luck, Laura-oneesan...." They all finally said, as their vision completely faded. I felt alone, falling head first into nothingness...fealing weakened, and fainting of fatigue.
-------

I slowly re-opened my eyes, remembering it wasn't reality...but it felt like it. What did it really mean by "where I belong"? Do I really belong anywhere, if that's the case? I feel like I must train now...to challenge what lies ahead of me....but as I thought this, my stomach began to urge upward, and I vomitted up the water and soup I had today. I know I must train...but I can't train during a stomach virus. I stood up, and rushed back to my "hotel" room, where dear little Arwen was still sleeping as I left her.

[Translation- "We live our lives, wandering to the ends of the earth/Believing (in you?), now I begin my journey with you,
in search of the light...."]

* Sniff Sniff * Well this will be my last DS post, Poli is hard at work on the next one which should be up soon, Well this one was fun and I cant wait for the next one, which is rumored to have a shorter amount of characters allowing us to get to all the temples.

---------------------
I walked back to Laura's room after telling Satoshi about his brother's death, he seemed to take it..moderatly well, but I felt bad for little Laura and Satoshi, with Satoshi experiencing so much death, he would most likely go into a depressed state, little Laura would never be able to understand and eventually they would probley break up. It was going to be a rough ride for both of them. I walked in to Laura's *Rider* room to see her watching over Arwen sleep. I came up behind her and wraped my arms around her waste while nuzzling her neck.

"Your in a good mood" She replied to the sudden amount of attention I was giving her, I slowly turned her around and placed my hand on her cheek.

"Listen I just want you to know, no matter what happens, no matter what ever happens to me, to us. That I will always love you, you mean the world to me, you always will. Who ever tells you differently is a fool, you are my world Laura Kumura Rider, and I am extremely greatful to have known a woman like you" I told her, a tear building up in my eye, I leaned in and kissed her, deeply, pationatly.

Now what ever happened, now or the future she would know how I truely felt, even if I ever turned on her, or acted against her she would still know my true feelings and in the end, that's all that matters.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Drowzly I woke up, the bitter chill of the morning was in my mouth, I then remembered the memories of last night, the horrible horrible dreams. Next to me Satoshi stured and began to make noise. I slowly slipped out of his arms, and bundled him up with the comforter.

I began to walk around the hotel trying to get my head back in order. Everything was just so jumbled, the days events, the deaths, everything. I stopped by my old room to see the smokey remains of it, I stepped inside allowing the smokey flavor to fill my lungs, the ground beneath me shuttered with every foot step, I moved over to the remains of my back pack, everything in it was destroyed, everything. I was about to leave when a hint of color caught my eye, deep inside of my backpack the small picture of Satoshi and I taken on the night I asked him to marry me, it was still intact and in good shape.

I looked at the picture, running over it with my fingers as I held it in my hand. "Everything was easier back then" I wispered. I decided to hold on to the picture for later and moved on, eventually arriving at Auny's door where a soft sobbing could be heard. I knocked on the door softly, there was no responce. I knocked again this time in a light tone said "Auny it's me can I come in?"

"No, Laura just..just dont..just go away" Auny snapped her tone harsh and full of anger. I was going to reply but decided against it, on my long walk back to Satoshi's room I remembered the events of the last few days, the battles, the fights we all had. I remembered Satoshi telling me that I needed to learn how to battle that I was too weak if I didnt battle. I remember my memory of the group calling me a monster, yelling at me. I remembered Satoshi giving back the ring. Was it becuase I was weak, becuase I didnt know how to fight in the digital world? Ever fight I had been in I needed some one else to bail me out of. Was that the reason why Satoshi gave back the ring? becuase he was worried that I would never be able to protect myself if I was engaged to him?

I tiptoed past Satoshi and into his room where I found Alpha in standby mode. "Alpha wake up, were going on a little adventure" I told it as it booted up it's programing. While I waited for Alpha to come online I decided to write out a letter to everyone telling them what I was going to do.

Dear Everyone

I decided that I am really not needed here, I just serve to slow the group down, and dont have any real battle experience, yet. As of this morning I am going off to take on the Lunars. I know you guys may want to try to stop me, but dont this is something I want to do, that I have to do to prove to all of you that I am worthy to be a chosen child. Satoshi was right he cant protect a Fiance and battle at the same time, So he wont have to, I'm going to end all of this here and now and defeat the evil in the Digital world.

~ Laura the Chosen Child of Metal

I placed the letter down and folded it up nice and neatly, I also added the picture of Satoshi and myself into the folded letter so that he would find them at the same time. "C'mon Alpha we have some Lunars to bring down" I told Alpha when he was fully ready, Alpha nodded and we started to the door, only to be stoped by...

"Daddy?" I wispered seeing a young version of daddy standing infront of the door way, blocking my path.

"Dont do this Laura" He warned, no it wasnt my dad, it...it was just a illusion, the temple guardian, a faded memory of the Digital world.

"Your not real, your just a fake, a nothing" I spat back at him, he looked away, almost as if my words were hurting him, almost as if he could actually feel emotion. I walked around him and opened the door. "I'm sick of the Digital world's mind games" I finally said shutting the door in his face. I moved past Satoshi and onto the soft earth. I looked up and saw the sun rise of the Digital world.

"One way or another, this is going to be the last time I see that sunrise" I said defiantly walking down the path that would lead me to the dark masters, a path that would lead me away from my friends, my big sister, my big brother, my..love.

"C'mon Alpha, lets end this" I said turning my face toward the sun and walked toward my destiny.

Hey no matter what anyone says this, Digimon Digital Sensations, will always be one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

[Yami Annika]

I'm so sorry for my part in this RPG dying! I just had soo many projects and homework and this is really not the time for excuses is it? I am deeply sorry, will try to post more in the next one, and second Roy's statement. Best RPG of all time!

I watched Rigiamon carefully. He was perhaps a little frustrated with all my questions – I knew he had yet to trust me, so I could blame him very little. Or, perhaps, like me, he was frustrated at this entire situation.

According to Rigiamon, Kenichi was trapped… trapped and alone. Soon he would be back, no one seemed to know where he would be, but he would be back. And he was alive. Rigiamon made sure of that.

“I’m sorry, Rigiamon.” I smiled weakly. When he looked at me, I explained further. “For going to pieces like that. You saved his life, that’s all that matters. I shouldn’t be upset if he’s just away.”

“It is a frustrating situation.” He spoke.

“For you and me both, obviously.” I laughed strangely, and breathed deeply. Surprising how being knocked out could make one even more tired. “You don’t mind if I take a small nap, do you?”

Rigiamon shook his head and got back up, as I lied down again, awkwardly. I stayed propped up on my elbows. “Rigiamon?” I spoke, as he was leaving.

“Yes?”

“He will be alright, right?”

“He should be.”

“Not possessed? Or memory altered? Nothing evil could happen to him, right?”

“He will be fine.”

I knew Rigiamon didn’t care much for me, but those words were very comforting. I hoped he knew that. “Goodnight, Rigiamon.”

“Goodnight,” he repeated to me oddly.

-=-

I knew I shouldn’t have, but I woke up in tears many times throughout the night. Once, there was knocking on the door, as I was trying to calm myself.

“Auny, it’s me, can I come in?” A little voice asked.

“No, Laura, don’t…” Tears were threatening to come again, she couldn’t see my like this. “Just don’t… Just go away!” I buried my face into a pillow and was lost to the world again.

I cried for hours on end, until I felt like I was dehydrated. I finally forced myself up and got myself a drink of water. In the window, the sun was already rising. I splashed some water into my face, and fixed my hair back up. With the cup filled again, I stood by the window, in time to see a little figure and her Digimon retreating.

What had I done?

Kenichi was okay, and yet, I played a part in her leaving. She must’ve just needed to talk. How could I have been so stupid? I still had time, though. I could fix my mistake.

I packed my backpack to leave, when I was drawn to a bookcase. Carefully, forces unknown guided my hand to a leather-bound book. Without thinking, I added it to my pack. I’ll return it when we get back, I promised.

I strapped my pack on, and dashed after Laura. I was lucky my legs were longer than hers, but the sun was already near its noon-position by the time she came back into sight.

“LAURA!” I screamed. “WAIT!”

She stopped grudgingly, and I caught up with her.

“Bonjour.” I greeted, catching my breath. I could have sworn a small “hey” flitted through her lips. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to go fight the Lunars.” She said, matter-of-factly. “Alone,” she added. She was walking into death, more like… There are some things you just can't face alone, and death is one of them. She waited for my reaction, her mind set on leaving.

“Great!” I grinned, and placed my hand on her shoulder. A great burden seemed to lift from me. “I’ll come with you.”
