PROLOGUE
Taking a deep breath, the teenager stole a quick glance at them. He knew that they were angry at him. Hell, he'd be too if he were in their shoes. But the thing was, he wasn't in their shoes. Returning his gaze back to the front of the class, the blonde boy began to wonder what his life would be like after this. Taking a big yawn, the teacher finally announced that it would be his last day at the school. Everyone whispered to one another at the news, all wondering why he was leaving. He glnced at them again. They were in deep conversation. What about, he already knew. T.K Takaishi closed his eyes again, blocking out the wave of murmur from his class mates. He quickly opened them again at the sound of the bell. By tomorrow, everything would continue as it was, as if he never existed.
Chatting to another another, the Chosen Children, nicknamed The Legnedary Destined by Gennai, crowded around Izzy's computer. In the back the computer wiz had attempted many times to push his way through with. Laughing loudly, Tai pulled away from the group, only to pull the computer wiz in.
"Come on guys! Make some room here!" Izzy gasped, as he finally made his way to the computer screen. Tai let out another laugh.
"You know us, Izzy." he grinned. "Come on guys!" shaking his head slightly, Izzy made himself comfortable in his chair. Starring at the blank screen, a window suddenly popped up.
"I have a feeling we're in for a surprise." Sora murmured. Mimi gave a small giggle.
"What makes you say that?" she asked, obviously knowing the answer. Before anyone could answer, Gennai's head popped in, causing Izzy to fall from his chair.
"GENNAI!" he exclaimed, as he pulled himself to his feet.
"Sorry!" Gennai responded, a cheeky grin planted on his face. Looking at each face of the people before him, he realized that they were one person short. "Is T.K around? I need to have a word with him." no one answer. "Well?" he asked patiently. Frowning slightly, Kari turned away from the screen. She looked at Matt whose eyes had suddenly darkened. Taking a deep breath, she faced the screen again.
"About the Guardian?" she asked. Gennai nodded. "He's somewhere." Matt narrowed his eyes slightly, still not facing the screen.
"Don't really care where he is," he muttered.
"Well..." Gennai said uncertainly. "It's time."
"Time?" Joe looked at him curiously. "What do you mean time?
"Uh... well it's time for him to go to the.. uh... Digital World." everyone looked at him alarmed.
"Digital World? What happened?!" Tai demanded. "Wait... what about us?!"
"I'm sorry," he apologized. "But the Guardians are holding a meeting there... and well... he has to leave Japan, totrain..."
"If you want us to find him-" Matt spat harshly, "We aren't. We don't want anything to do with him." Gennai's eyes fell. He knew that the relationship between them was broken. He just didn't realize that it was this bad.
"We're really sorry, Gennai." Mimi said softly. "Things... have been difficult... since he told us..." she paused, allowing him to slowly take in the information. "I... We think it's best if we stay away from him..."
"If we allow ourselves to be friendly with him," Izzy continued, "It may make his departure harder for him...?" he took a deep breath. "And I don't think we can forgive him... not yet anyway."
"T.K... You O.K?" Nancy asked uncertainly looking at her son. He forced a smile and nodded.
"I'm fine, mum." eyeing the crowd, T.K couldn't help but wonder if 'they' would come. His class mates had already said their good byes. But now, he had a sinking feeling that what was already left on bad terms, would become worse. Sighing heavily, Nancy turned away allowing her son to ponder on his thoughts. But familiar voices had broken him from this. Looking up, he saw them following a particular pink haired girl.
"We'll miss you Mimi!" Yolie cried out, clinging to the older girl. Laughing awkwardly, Mimi smiled down at her. T.K sneeking quietly away from his mother, followed the group slowly. However Nancy noticed this and followed him.
"Me too!" Mimi giggled. The group pulled to a stop as the reached her gate.
"Remember to write to-" Matt started.
"Matt?" Nancy exclaimed, seeing her son. Turning around surprised, Matt smiled at his mother.
"Mum!" he exclaimed, hugging her tightly. "What are you doing here?" he asked curiously.
"You remember my job offer...?" Matt nodded his head. "We're leaving." she added with a smile.
"That's today?" he asked surprised. "Does dad know?" Nancy nodded her head.
"Didn't he tell you?"
"No..." he shook his head.
"So, you're headed to England, today." Davis stated, although not really interested.
"Uh... yeah." T.K nodded. Mimi smiled cheerfully.
"That's cool! I'm headed back to America today as well!" turning around slightly, the pink haired girl noticed that her gate had opened. "Cool!" walking up to the gate, her friends ran after her.
"Mimi!" they scowled. Standing there awkwardly, T.K glanced at his mother who smiled and nodded.
"Don't take to long," she said softly. Nodding T.K ran after them.
"Are you trying to run away?!" he demanded when he reached them.
"No, we're actually seeing Mimi off." David said.
"You know what I mean." T.K muttered.
"Oh, you mean you!" Kari said sarcastically. T.K's eyes fell at her tone. "Look, you caused tention between us, and you left the group. There's nothing you can do to change that. You're going to England. Good for you! You can't change what happened here-"
"T.K!" they heard his mother call, "The gates open!"
"We've accepted your fate, T.K." Kari stated, stepping forward slightly. Goodbye, Guardian of Hope."
