Chapter 1: Getting Distant?
"Kouji Minamoto, will you help us again?"
The message kept ringing in Kouji's head as he and his brother, Koichi, ran toward the train station. What was the problem this time?
Well, I suppose we'll find out, Kouji thought as they boarded the train.
"Hey, it's Takuya!" said Koichi.
"Hey guys!" Takuya is a 7th grade goggle head. He wears a yellow shirt with a strange, black symbol on it. His hat, which he wears backwards over his brown hair, is olive and has the same symbol on the front of it. His eyes are brown.
Takuya also has a red-over shirt with black pockets. He even has sage gloves, dark olive capris, white socks and red-and-orange tennis shoes.
Koichi has on a maroon shirt with a green-over shirt. He has off-white pants and green shoes with three yellow stripes. His hair is black and his eyes are a deep blue.
Kouji has a yellow shirt with a blue collar. His blue windbreaker has a yellow stripe down the outside of each sleeve. His capris are a dark gray. His socks are blue and his shoes are white with three blue stripes. Kouji's bandanna is navy blue with brown stripes all over the place. His black hair is tied back in a very low ponytail. Like his brother, his eyes are a deep blue.
"You got the message, too?" Kouji asked Takuya.
"What, that they need us again?"
"Yeah," Kouji nodded.
"The train is stopping," said Koichi.
And so it was. Kouji and Takuya knew what came next.
"The same elevator?" Takuya asked.
"Same elevator." Kouji replied.
As the three boys jogged toward the elevator Kouji and Takuya had used to get there exactly one year ago, a female voice said, "Guys! Wait up!"
The boys turned to see Zoe and Tommy running toward them.
Zoe was the only girl who went with them last year. Her hat, covering the top of her blonde hair, is orchid with a purple brim. Her shirt has blue-and-white horizontal stripes. Zoe's vest and skirt were both orchid with a white stripe down the outside. Her socks are purple, and her shoes are orchid-and-white. Her eyes are green.
Tommy was the youngest who went last year. He's now in 4th grade. He wears a big, orange hat over his brown hair, a white t-shirt with a very dark olive band, yellow overalls with orange suspenders that he doesn't use, orange socks and green-and-white shoes. His eyes are also green.
"Hey Zoe, hey Tommy. You got the message, too?" Takuya asked.
"Yeah." Zoe replied.
"Let's get to the elevator." Said Kouji.
"Right." Koichi replied.
The five of them headed for the elevator Kouji and Takuya had used last year. Kouji kept thinking about the message he got on his cell phone. What danger could they be in now, if Lucemon was destroyed?
Zoe knew something was on Kouji's mind and decided to find out when they got on the train. Takuya, Tommy and Koichi were talking about sports, soccer mostly.
When they got to the elevator, Kouji pushed the down button, like he did a year ago.
As the elevator doors were closing, Kouji noticed two boys and a girl heading for the elevator next to theirs.
"Where are they going?" He asked aloud.
"Who?" Zoe asked as the elevator started going down.
"Ah, no one," Kouji said quickly, as he looked away.
"It was someone, or you wouldn't have said anything,"
"How do you know?"
"Because I know you, and you haven't changed much since the last time we went."
"Humph,"
What has gotten into him? Zoe thought as the elevator went faster and faster.
Why did I have to say it out loud? Kouji thought furiously. Then he thought about what Zoe had just said. Am I becoming distant again? I hadn't thought I was.
His thoughts were cut short when, suddenly, the elevator slammed into the basement floor.
"Ow. At least this time I didn't land on my head," Takuya said. "Huh? Who are they?"
"Who?" Kouji asked, looking around quickly.
Takuya was looking at the same three kids Kouji had noticed earlier. He gasped.
"Would you shut up, Takato?" the girl asked one of the boys. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a yellow collar, light blue sleeves, and an indigo heart that is broken down the middle. Her indigo denim jeans were rolled up, her belt was thick, she had two leather bracelets wrapped around her left thigh, two red wrist bands, white socks, and red-with-metal shoes. Her hair is red with tan streaks, while her eyes are violet.
One of the boys, who was wearing an orange vest, started laughing while the other, who had goggles on his head, said," What? We don't know anything about her, and she's telling us to go back and in a different way than before…."
"Of course it's a different way than before, Takato. Last time we went on our own. This time we're being called to help, and the danger is there, not here." The girl said, turning around, back to the frontier (so she didn't notice them), and got on the train that had just been sitting there since before the elevators had gotten down there. The two boys, one of them still laughing, followed. "Uhhh. Sometimes I wonder why you're the goggle-head and not Henry."
Suddenly, the laughing stopped.
"Children, will you help us or not?"
"Ophanimon? Yes, we will!" Takuya said.
"Then join J.P. in the car behind the one those three just went in. Seraphimon will give you more instructions there."
"J.P. is already here?" Tommy asked.
"Apparently," Koichi answered.
"Shouldn't we do what Ophanimon told us to?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah,"
The five of them, Kouji in the back, Takuya in the front, got in the car behind the three kids they had just seen. J.P. was, in fact, already there, eating a chocolate bar. He had on a blue jumpsuit with yellow pockets, sleeve and pant hems. He wears an orange shirt under his jump suit. He also has white socks and blue-and-yellow shoes. Both his hair and his eyes are brown.
"Hey, J.P." Takuya said.
"Hey guys. I didn't think you would show up. I got here so early, I saw another train leave with about twelve kids on board."
"How many kids are going this time?" Kouji asked, kind of rudely.
"Huh?" J.P. was thoroughly confused. Why was Kouji being so rude? He was even moving to a separate corner than everybody else. Even away from his brother!
"Okay, that settles it!" Zoe said, suddenly.
"What does?" Takuya asked.
"Kouji separating himself from the rest of us. He's getting distant again!"
You could have heard a pin drop in that train car after Zoe's remark. Everyone looked back and forth between Zoe and Kouji. Kouji was staring at Zoe, wondering if she was right. I am getting distant again, aren't I? Why though? I haven't been this distant since before the last time we went. Why now?
I'm already working on the next chapter, but I won't post it unless people want me to. Please r&r!
