Feelings are usually hard to explain. Sometimes you can't control them, other times you can. When you let yourself go, you're losing everything inside you, including your emotions. It's normal for people to go through mood swings. When you're sad, you cry. When you're scared, you shiver. When happy, you just simply smile. But not everyone can feel emotions. Sometimes something can come down hard on someone, but they don't feel a thing. Their face is left expressionless, blank, untouched ...

"Rika?" Takato whispered in my ear. "What's wrong."

Takato was an average kid. Like everyone else in the group, he was a Digimon Tamer. Though he was a bit scrawny looking, he was actually a tough kid inside. All he needed was ... motavation.

"Nothing," I assured him with a frown. How was it his business anyways? "Leave. You are in my sunlight."

"Um, Rika, you are sitting under a tree in the shade." Takato laughed. I didn't find it funny. "If you need to talk, I'm here."

"Because I need YOU to guide ME." I smirked. Couldn't he just leave already. I was tired, and moody. I stood up and walked over to Jeri, leaving him standing there stupidly.

Jeri was over by a small pond picking flowers. Her hand puppet she carries around was left on a nearby rock. She smiled as I approached. "Done sitting alone?" She asked. Then glanced up to look where I was sitting. "Oh. Takato bugging you?" She giggled.

"..." Jeri had to be one of the most annoying people I've ever met. But then ... there was Ryo.

"Hey sunshine." A familiar voice called. I whipped around, and to my disgust, it was Ryo. He was grinning about calling me sunshine, of course.

"Ugh!" I wanted to hit him. "What do you want?"

"Just saying hi. Are you ready?" He asked me.

Ready f--" How could I forget!? We are going to the Digital World. After a year, we finally get to see our long lost partners. Renamon ... I've been dying to see her. "Yes."

Henry joined us. "Just waiting on the other two ... Where are they?" He checked his watch, making a notion that they are late.

Ryo took a flower from Jeri. He handed it to me. "It's pretty, just like you." He grinned. I smacked the ugly flower out of his hand and frowned deeply, which made his smile grow.

"Hey chums!" Kazu was standing by a tree. "Sorry we are late!" He walked towards us, filling us in. "Kenta couldn't find his stuffed bear ... or his diapers." He said rolling his eyes.

"I need my bear, he's good luck. And I DON'T wear diapers!" Kenta moaned. Idiot.

"Whatever, can we go now?" I grabbed my bag and heaved it over my shoulder.

"Hold on. Still waiting for one more person ..." Takato began. But just as if on cue, Yamaki appeared.

"Planing on leaving already?" He said. He wore his usual black suit and sun glasses. He needs a new look, I thought to myself.

"Of course not, Yamaki." Takato smiled. "We were waiting for you."

He nodded and opened the black bag hanging from his hand. He pulled out a small black device. "It's a better version to the one I gave you last time," he said, handing Takato the communicator.

"Thanks." Takato picked up his bag and looked towards us all. "OK team. We will be un-guarded in the Digital World, meaning it could be extremely dangerous." Everyone nodded. "So let's grab a partner so we all don't get separated."

I went to grab Jeri but Ryo grabbed my arm. I turned around to puch him, but he ducked. I released my arm from his clutched and was dissapointed at Jeri...she partnered with Takato. Damn them. I looked around. Everyone already had partners. I sighed, "fine, we're partners. But don't touch me."

"Wouldn't dream of it, Wildcat," Ryo winked. I frowned. He grabbed my arm and held on tight.

"Right, are we all ready?" Takato asked us, excitedly. "Let's move out men! And err.. women!"

Yamaki smiled, "I will checking in on my communicator every hour. Hopefully the one you have now will work without a storm." He waved his hand and walked down the hill.

"All set?!" Takato and Jeri started walking- Takato was carrying her bags.

"Carry my bags," I commanded Ryo. He raised an eyebrow. "Whatever."

Every started walking, following Takato and Jeri, until we reached a small gray hideout. The one that Guilmon used to live in. "Alright gang. See you in the Digital World," Takato gulped. Him and Jeri dissapeared inside. Minutes later, Kazu and Kenta followed in, then Henry and Suzie.

"Ready pumpkin?" Ryo asked. I glared at him and nodded. We walked inside the small hideout, to find it was left exactly how Guilmon had it a year earlier. "Ladies first."

"You just want to look at my butt," I protested.

"Me? Nooooo." Ryo smiled. I punched him.

Getting on my hands and knees, I crawled inside. I waited until Ryo was beside me. I didn't want to enter without him, as much as I don't like him, I didn't want to be alone incase we all got separated. He finally reached up to me and grabbed my arm. We both looked at each other and crawled the remaining way until we hit the portal.

It felt like I was being pulled at the speed of sound. My body couldn't move, and my eyes were slammed shut. Suddenly we began falling. It felt as though I was being dropped from the tallest building in the world. I then hit something hard. I realised we were no longer falling. I opened my eyes and to my surprise – and disgust – I was on top of Ryo. Soft landing I had to admit, atleast he was good for something.

I stood up and looked around. The others were sitting on rocks, obviously waiting for us.

"What was with the hold up you two?" Kazu asked, eyeing us suspiciously. I punched him on the arm.

Ryo stood beside me, his hand was on my shoulder.

"Well ladies and gents ... Welcome back to the Digital World!"
