Chapter 1The dream changes, for now he's looking up into a face. He couldn't see whose face for it was in shadows. He feels that he should know this face, but he just can remember. As he backs away from the person in front of him, more people appear. Then he hears Chaos's voice calling him. "Shade! It's time to get up, Shade!"
He then opens his eyes and looks into Chaos's yellow eyes. "You were dreaming again." Chaos states. He just sighs and nods. Chaos gets off the bed, he then sits up. He yawns and stretches his arms. He runs a hand through his blond hair. Then he moves the sheets away, even though he wants to just stay in bed. Then he moves and plants his feet on the floor. He looks at Chaos then just sighs as he pushes himself off the bed.
Then with a groan, he heads to his dresser to pick out what he wants to wear today. He then hears the door open as Chaos leaves the room. He picks a green T-shirt with an image of a grey dragon on it. Then he picks out a pair of black jeans. He takes off his J.P. pants then puts on the jeans.
Then he check on Dayus, his pet snake. The rat snake was sunning himself on the rock under the heat lamp. He opens the lid to get the water dish to get Dayus some fresh water. Then he looks for a pair of shocks after he gets back with the water. Putting the shocks on, he grabs his homework and put it into his backpack. Then he looks around the room, and then leaves his room.
He walks into the living room and puts his backpack by the door. Then he heads for the kitchen. His dad greets him, "Morning Shade." He grunts, "Morning." He sits down at the table and waits for his mom to finish with the eggs. He hears Chaos eating from his food dish.
'It's too early for this. Why can't school start at noon?' He thinks as food appears on his plate. He soon begins to eat what's on his plate. Chaos then moves to watch him.
Chaos was his 'pet' dog. Red fur with hits of black throughout his fur. Chaos was two and three quarters of a feet tall and three and a half feet in length. Chaos didn't have floppy ears like some dog breeds have or a big bushy tail. Chaos claims to be a ChaosPupmon. But to his parents he was just Chaos. He's had Chaos since he was three years old. Chaos has always been able to speak, though when he was a little kid, he claimed that Chaos could talk. Like all parents, his parents thought he was imaging this. He gave up trying to get Chaos to talk in front of his parents and trying to get his parents to believe him. He also doesn't really remember where Chaos came from, only that he once had this egg he named Roy. Roy disappeared a long time ago, though.
He soon finishes his breakfast and leaves. "Bye, see you guys later!" He yells as he leaves with Chaos. Soon he's walking to school, like always. Chaos is walking on his right side. He didn't know why he had to go to school. He already knew this stuff, but his protests fell on deaf ears. His parents want him to go to school with kids his own age.
It was April the fourth of 2005. It was Monday, the start of the week. He was 12 years old. His full name is Shade Naruto Kanbara. His cousin Shinya's birthday was a week ago. His parents had taken him to New York, New York. He had left Dayus with his cousins Takuya and Shinya. Chaos has his own passport, so he came with them. They just got back last Friday. He sighs as he sees his cousin Takuya. Takuya was just plain too energized for his own good.
"Hey, cousin! How's your morning?" Takuya ask as he joins him. He just grunts and then tries to ignore his too cheerful cousin. Takuya then begins to talk about what's happened while he was gone. 'I'm happy that I'm adopted. I wonder how Shinya handle him.' Were his thoughts as the three of them walk to school.
He could see Chaos have his tiny grin on his snout as Takuya continues to talk. He then spies the gate to their school. As he stops at the gate, he lowers himself and pets Chaos on the head. "See you after school. Don't eat anything I wouldn't eat, boy." Chaos snorts and then turns tail. He watches with a small grin on his face as Chaos leaves. Then he turns to find his cousin nowhere in sight.
Wondering if he should press his luck, he walks into the schoolyard. He then finds his cousin talking to a girl with a purple hat. He decides to get find a spot and just wait for the bell to ring. He hopes that who ever the girl is, that she'll keep Takuya too busy for him to bug him today.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
He just sighs as he leaves Shade and Takuya. He has places to check out. He knows that something happened when Shade and him had been in New York. Not that he didn't enjoy traveling around with Shade and his parents; it's just that he feels that there should be something more. He knows that Shade and him were partners, but he didn't know just what that means.
He pushes his thoughts out of his head as he walks along the sidewalk. He was heading to check out the train station. He wonders if he'll find something to help Shade and him remember more about their past. He knows that he shouldn't be what he was. He stops at the stoplight, and waits with the rest of the crowd for the walk sign.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
He sighs as he finishes talking with Zoe about meeting up with everyone on Wednesday. Then he turns around to look for his cousin. He's not surprised that Shade took off. His cousin was kind of a grumpy in the morning. 'Not that he's all that cheerful to begins with, but mornings are just the worst part of the day for him.' He thinks as he goes searching for his cousin.
He doesn't find Shade until the bell rings, and then as if by magic, Shade appears. He sighs and makes his way to where Shade. His blond cousin was walking to his locker. Luckily his own locker way close by. "You can really can hide, huh?" He tells his cousin. "I always won the games of Hide and Seek. So, you need?" Shade asks. He scratches the back of his head before asking, "I was wondering if you need a partner for our art project." Shade turns and looks at him. He was kind of uncomfortable with the look that Shade was giving. It kind of reminds him of Kouji's look when he says something that sounds smart.
Then slowly Shade says, "I don't have one, but don't you usually wait until the day before it's due to ask me to be your partner?" He shifts his weight, very uncomfortable with this. He's changed since going to the Digital World. It's not the first time someone had commented on how much he's changed.
He looks into Shade's blue eyes and says, "What? Can't I think about stuff before it happens?" Shade sighs and thinks about it as he puts his books into his locker. "It's just that you would never think before you act. So, is this change because of your new girl friend?" Shade asks. He blushes at that. "Zoe's just a new friend! I can make friends with out your charming help." He says to Shade. Shade just closes his locker and looks him in the eye, "I'm not saying that you can't, just asked if you plan on dating her." Then Shade heads to his first class, leaving him alone by the lockers.
Then it dawns on him that Shade didn't answer his question about needing a partner. He then hears the bell and it dawns on him that he's late. He races through the hall to get to his first class.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
It's lunchtime and he was sitting where most of the shadows were. He remembers what Takuya and him had talked about by the lockers. He was still thinking about it. 'He thought ahead for a change. I wonder just what brought this on? Well if he does have friends outside of soccer, then maybe he'll bug them about homework and other stuff.'
He then watches as Takuya sits down with his teammates. He finishes eating the food and then takes out a MP3 player. Looking around to make sure that no teacher was around; he puts on his headphones and listens to it. He had saved his allowance, birthday money, and Christmas money to get it last month. He grins as he listens to this song by EvaneScence. It was Everybody's Fool. Soon lunchtime's over and he puts his MP3 away.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
He sighs as he sniffs around the place. It's a good week old and a lot of people have moved around through the sit. Then he looks at the clock and sees that it's almost two. He sighs as he runs out of the place. He's going to be late if he doesn't hurry up. He really wants to talk to his partner about his dream that he had last night. He hopes that it's a lot clearer then before.

She sighs as they came back from searching the Digital World. There was no sign of T.K. or Patamon. Everyone felt bad about what had happened. They didn't know that T.K. had been so serious about it. Patamon and him had stormed out of the room. That's the last time anyone had seen them.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
They all listen to what T.K. and Patamon said they witnessed. T.K. sits there, waiting for someone to speak. It was Davis that spoke first. "So, what? It's not our problem. It's not huge or a threat as of yet, so why worry about it?" Davis says. Izzy agrees, "This warp might go away by itself. I think as long as we don't try anything to it won't become a problem."
T.K. looks stunned at this. Matt sighs and says as he puts a hand on T.K.'s shoulder, "We don't have time to go after every little problem, T.K. We got other things to do then to rush to the Digital World ever time there's a problem." Cody and her nod their heads in agreement. The others all add their agreement with what's been said.
T.K. with Patamon in his arms leaves, "If that's how you all feel about it, then I'll figure something out." They all watch as the Digidestine of Hope storms out of the room.
"He's just sore that we don't see it his way." Davis says. Ken doesn't look to comfortable at that. They all figure that T.K. just needs time to cool off. He'll be heading home and then they'll patch things up in a few days. They were all teenages, emotions run high.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
But T.K. and Patamon didn't return home. It wasn't until the next day did T.K.'s mother start to phone around. It seems that she thought that T.K. had spent the night at one of their houses. They had check the area that T.K. and Patamon had last ported to. They didn't see this warp or their friend.
That was nine months ago. It's now April and there was still no sign of them. T.K. was listed as a missing persons. They didn't know what to think. All they know is T.K. isn't the type of person to run away. They all were worried, for they now were wondering if that warp that T.K. and Patamon talked about might have something to do with their disappearance.
'Where are you, T.K.? Everyone's worried about you. Why haven't you come home? I hope your alright, T.K. I really hope you are.' She thinks as she lies on her bed. Thinking about her best friend.
Her phone rings and she picks it up. "Hey, Kari. Did you want to cancel our date?" Davis asks on the phone. She smiles abit at that. A month before T.K. disappeared, Davis and she had started going out. T.K. had supported her in it. She thinks about it and answers, "No, we're still on." Davis says, "Ok, cool. See you around six then." They hang up and she sits there thinking about just where they were going. It was 4:32 pm, and she decides to go have a shower. Gatomon stays by the window, looking out.
