Takato was on his way home from school as usual. Taking a detour through the park out of habit, his mind wondered on recent events, and of course, Guilmon. His thoughts drifted to his friends. Kazu and Kenta were most likely playing the Card Game right now. Last time he saw them, they weren't that enthusiastic anymore. They, like him, were mourning over the loss of their Digimon.
They have, of course, forgiven Henry's dad for what he had done. But that didn't change the fact that losing their Digimon was a great blow to them. The only thing that kept them going was the faint hope of seeing their Digimon again, and that the Monster Makers were trying to find a way to bring them back, or at least Takato wanted to think that way.
It seems only Ryo's not upset about it. Takato thought.
He had happily reassured them that they will see their Digimon again… only to have Rika return to Ice Queen Mode and turn the world upside down.
As Takato kept on the familiar route through the park, memories came back to torture him. Happy ones, sad ones… so many of them occurred in this very park. He soon passed the first place he met Rika… and she attacked him.
Speaking of which, Rika had returned to being a loner with no friends once again. Its sad really. No one bothering to attempt to make her sociable again, Takato thought. Unless you count Ryo He added. At least I still have Jeri trying to cheer me up. She's been real nice. Maybe she actually likes me... At this, he blushed crimson red. Only Ryo's brave enough to try… or stupid enough.
Ryo's confidence was contagious. Thanks to him, everyone managed to keep their hopes up. It helped that he was always around, somehow. Rika was a different story however. He himself had seen the results of Ryo's efforts to cheer her up, which was… not very pleasant. Only Kazu and Kenta don't seem to think the Ryo has finally lost it. Rika must be hitting him too hard. Even they agree on that.
Now he passed the place where Guilmon used to play with Calumon, the Catalyst.
God I miss the good old days. The times when it would just be me and Guilmon kicking Digibutt. Hey, Digibutt… I have to write that one down. He thought about how Guilmon would react to his new word.
Most likely ask me what it is… and request for more bread at it.
Now he came to a stop. Looking up, he saw well hidden within the trees, Guilmon's old hideout. Thinking about the bread eater's reaction to his presence made his eyes water. Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the hideout.
Maybe Guilmon's come back……Nah who am I kidding.
He was just about to walk away when the sound came again. This time, he was sure it came from the hideout.
Guess it won't hurt to check. He did not even complete that thought before he raced up the steps to the hideout, hope shining in his heart.
Upon reaching there, he did not find Guilmon, but he found the next best thing… a portal to the Digital World.
This is my first fic, don't blame me if I start out bad. But I assure you the plot will get better, with a few twists and turns. Won't reveal the coupling until relevant chapters are up... though it is obvious enough... for now...
