"Interesting," I said, "I guess I'm very different from you guys." I guess it was a poor choice of words, as I was forced to look down five pairs of eyes; Valley is sensitive to others.

"Yes...well," I stammered out, "I didn't mean THAT! I just mean that, while Benji likes the nightime, and Laura and Kori like the night, there isn't a specific time that I'm most active. Anytime I get to sing, or anytime I can just compete with someone, is when I'm active. I want a challenge, I need a challenge, I live on challenge."

"You like to sing? How's your voice?" I turned down to Valley, the one who sprung that question.

"My teacher says I've got real talent. I can sing in any number of ranges and voices, and, with some effort, I can actually sound quite feminine. I like to be versatile," I responded with some pride, granted I put up with abuse about the feminine part, but I think it's a real talent.

"Would you like to sing right now?"

"Naw, I don't want to attract attention. Besides, I don't think I know any songs that you would be interested in."

"Naw, I don't want to attract attention. Besides, I don't think I know any songs that you would be interested in." Xander said, I guess he felt embarassed. I felt like singing, but I suck at it. Sighing, I understood how he felt....it wasn't easy being the center of attention...even though I wasn't narscistic.

"Aww....c'mon Xander," Kori said, trying to encourage him, "We really need somebody to entertain us here..."

"Like me?" Benji spoke up.

"No...Not you, be quiet." Seth finished off, looking down at his digimon partner as if he was going crazy in a cushiony room like those seen in mental hospitals....bouncing against the walls.

"Well....I could," I said quietly, as if I was being shameful(if such a word exists....-.-), "But I'm not that good...."

"Please, Laura..." Kori asked, looking up at me, "Sing for us?"

"I don't feel like it..." I murmured as if I were to start crying, "I can't sing real well....and I don't know what to sing...."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"No...Most are too depressing..."

"Alright..." Kori shrugged boredly and leapt onto my head...keeping a lookout for whatever lied ahead. If only we had an idea of what to do, since it seemed to be interminable. I wished we were there already....into the tempest.

I looked at the bored crowd and then I started digging a hole for no reason.Then,Ryoku filled in the hole.I dug again and walked inside.Then Ryoku filled it in as I was inside.Then I quickly dug my way out.I said"Ha,ha,HA.Very,very,very,VERY funny."I walked ahead,further and further.Then I asked"Are we there yet?"Ryoku shook his head.I kept repeating it about every 5 seconds,until Ryoku shout"SHUT UP!"I nodded.I kept walking tiredly,only stopping at a lake to rest.Then,I noticed something further.I raced toward it...this could be it...BAM!I ran into a rock.Then Ryoku picked me up and let me sit in his arms for a bit.

'Well its a good thing Masakimon isn't here otherwise he laugh at my situation.' I thought as Tara and I were walking away from the others.

'I wonder what she wants....' I thought until it hit me 'Oh no, why does that have to be the topic!?' I was thinking unusualy angry.

Then we stopped "Kazuma I need to ask you something about your brother." she told me forwardly. 'Crap' I cringed.

"What is with him? How could someone related to you act like that?" she asked me.

I sighed "Its complicated, and a long story. You don't want to hear it, that you dont..." I said almost sadly.

But I knew she wasn't going to take that answer "Kazuma, I'm serious! I need to know this! You've always been closed with me and Ronnie. You barely talk when someone isn't talking to you. Please tell me." she told me with pleading eyes.

'If only she knew what I was going through...' I thought as I looked at her eyes.

"Okay, but first I think you should know something. Sensui is my half brother, not my brother." I told her.

~*~Kori/Snowmon~*~
The wind was calm, yet sullen....as I could feel the prescence of a pure Illumina(Light) Digimon nearby, enveloped in the mystic aura of the ruins...it could mean only one thing....the celestials knew our location! Dammit, this was serious! I gasped, as it kept through my thoughts.....I should warn the others.....

"Laura," I asked calmly, my sapphire glinting with pure luster, "Do you think there's something lurking nearby...?"

"Yeah...." She replied, "Why?"

"It's that I sense the prescence of a henchman of the celestials in the ruins.....it's serious. We better hurry...." I answered quietly. Laura nodded to herself and slightly picked up pace, as I looked behind to make sure the rest were following.....It was time....My time to rise....

Tara/Love

Kazuma and I walked away from the parting group, and I turned to him, looking as serious as possible. I didn't want to make Kazuma feel too pressured, but since his 'brother' was on the other side, I needed to know.

"Kazuma I need to ask you something about your brother," I said, getting right to the point, "What is with him? How could someone related to you act like that?"

He sighed, and looked like it was something he'd certainly not want to talk about with anyone, "Its complicated, and a long story. You don't want to hear it, that you dont..." He looked at me with a face that clearly knew what I was going to say...

"Kazuma, I'm serious! I need to know this! You've always been closed with me and Ronnie. You barely talk when someone isn't talking to you. Please tell me," I said, hoping he could just forget about worrying about things. I knew that if he told someone his problems, it would make him feel so much better.

But he didn't seem to want to budge. "I really don't want to talk about him right now..." he said, looking at me hopefully.

"But--" I began, but someone cut me off.

"Just leave it Tara!" said Beakmon. She had obviously followed us, along with Masakimon. Beakmon walked up and stood next to me. "He doesn't want to tell you right now, so just let him be," she said to me, "These kinds of things take time. And you don't want to ruin a good friendship by cornering someone."

I sighed, then looked at Kazuma. Then I smiled. "Okay... I'll just have to find out some other time." Beakmon cleared her throat. "Um, I mean, when you're ready!" I said, correcting myself.

Mabye Beakmon was right. I guess I shouldn't push it... I must seem like some like a mean person to Kazuma...

[Haruko]

So sorry for not posting in a while, I've been getting used to High School..and stuff....

But..did I miss anything at all?Also, I'll be trying to post, but I've caught more intrest into other sugject, though RPG'ing is still one of them...

~PoLIzumi-chan

[Toxicity]

Nope....you haven't missed much at all Polizumi...^^;; All that's been going on is that the chosen children are heading to Floral City...the dark digidestined are heading towards the village mentioned a few posts back, but will eno****er ruins and Laura's Digi-Egg in the process...

~*^*~Laura Rider - Deceit~*^*~
I dashed ahead, making sure the others were nearby....Yeah, they were...but seemed a little curious why. I felt the prescence of my heart building something up inside...giving me what I needed to move ahead...but where did the obession go? Where was my paranoia? It had lifted, but for a split second and that was all: it came back, as I felt as if we were being followed by the light.....and the heavy thoughts returned: refreshed; no dust....no lies(yet....)...nothing. I felt confused, scared, and anxious all at once, not sure of what lied ahead. God damn.....it was starting to feel like .HACK//Sign all of the sudden.

I shrugged as the atmosphere felt colder, was it a sign...? I could barely see through the misty blue aura, but it suddenly faded...we were in the ruins Kori metioned earlier, or at least I thought we were. The sounds of a shrieking falcon could be easily heard, it was suddenly starting to grdually increase volume....as a swift swoop of crimson and gold flew past. It suddenly stopped, as it stood there...glaring at us. My D-Terminal beeped for a minute, until I reached for it and read the data it mentioned....a Digimon Identifier!

"Garudamon.....Ultimate Level...." I read off my D-Terminal, and flipping it off, "Oh crap..."

"Kori...do you know any way we can beat this thing...?"

"I'm not sure..." She replied sighingly, leaping off my head, "But I know it takes a lot of strength to beat this bird..." All of our digimon: Kori, Benji, Valley, BlackFurymon, and Shuimon attacked the beast, trying as much as they could.

"Dark Vines!" "Claw Poke!" "Swift Shower!" "Chilly Wind!" "Rook Shockwave!" All attacks seemed to do okay...but it just bounced off it...and the beast smirked vilely.

"Your rookies' attacks will do nothing aganst me, ignorant fools!" It cackled with complete cockiness, and launched an electrical punch towards our digimon. They could barely withstand it...but somehow managed to keep up their strength.

"This can't be..." I cried, falling to my knees in disgrace, "All this time I've been deceived by my own thoughts...There can't be a stronger side of Kori, there can't be....." My D-3 beeped all of the sudden, as it flashed brightly....somehow detecting something. I followed the noise to the other side of the room, seeing a small little egg-like figure on this boulder...stuck in. The egg somehow resembled Haku's beast form on Spirited Away, only on what would've been the chest....there was the Koori symbol in deep blue.

"Pick it up Laura!" Kori yellled with what energy she had, "It's the only chance of saving us!" I nodded swiftly, and stared at the egg....was this the Digi-Egg of Deceit? I just picked it up...it felt weightless to me....and felt confused as my D-3 glowed brighter.

"Say the words in your thoughts!" Benji yelled, "It activates the Digi-Egg on Kori!" I gripped it nervously, trembling as I held it outward, my D-3 in the other hand.

"Armor Digivolution of Deceit!"
