Within Arms Reach
~*~Ice Angel~*~
Chapter One: Missing you
**Hello! I decided not to continue "Moving On" because I haven't gotten a single review for my latest chapter, so I figure nobody is reading it. So, in light of that, I have decided to start a new storyline called "Within Arms Reach". I'd tell y'all the plot, but I want you to read it (and review it ^_^) yourselves. Well, on with my lil ficcie!**
It was six in the morning. The dew was shining from the plants and trees in the small grove where eight children, three girls and five boys, slept peacefully on the ground. The sun was beginning to rise, sending rays of light through the treeline and scattering little dots of brightness over the sleeping kids. A young man with dark brown bushy hair opened his eyes and squinted through the light, glancing around and doing a mental head count, his light hearted chestnut colored eyes scanning the campsite carefully.
'They're all here. Good.' the boy thought as he rose and walked through the woods in search of food for the morning. It was his job to find food for his crew, since he was the leader after all. Plus the other kids appointed him the official "Food Finder" since he woke up first every morning. He carefully picked his way along the stream line, plucking red raspberries and other fruits from their bushes or trees. Something snapped behind him, and the young man tensed. Suddenly, the boy was on the ground, a firey redhead looking down at him cheerfully, her cinnamon eyes glimmering in the morning light.
"Good morning, Tai!" the girl chirped as she helped the boy up. Tai glowered at the girl, then smiled.
"Morning, Sora. Why are you up so early?" Tai replied walking through the woods as he spoke. Sora looked around and inhaled the morning air.
"I don't know, I just woke up, that's all." Sora stated as she helped Tai pick fruit for breakfast. Soon Tai's shirt was full of fruits, so he and Sora made their way back to camp, where six other kids were sitting by the fire they'd made the night before. A tall blonde boy and a slightly shorter blonde boy walked over to Tai and Sora. The taller boy spoke first, his blue eyes sleepy but clear.
"It's about time! We're all famished here!" the blonde joked, his voice nonchalant and smooth.
"Yeah, I'm a little famished myself, isn't that right Matt?" The younger boy added, looking up at the other boy, who smiled.
"You're a bottomless pit anyway, TK!" Sora quipped as the foursome walked together to the other kids at fire. A shorter boy with dark spiky hair looked up from his laptop and pointed to a chestnut haired girl sleeping by a large rock.
"Mimi's still sleeping you guys." the boy pointed out. Another boy with bluish black hair rolled his eyes.
"Thank you Izzy, or shall we call you Captain Obvious?" the other boy said sarcastically. Izzy stuck his tongue out at the blue haired boy and turned to his computer again.
"Joe, you hungry? Tai has breakfast." Sora said to the blue haired boy, who smiled and grabbed some fruit. A small girl with hair a little lighter than Tai's walked up to the sleeping Mimi and shook her gently. Mimi opened her brown eyes and looked into the other girls' brown eyes angrily.
"Kari! I told you not to wake me up!" Mimi cried menacingly. Kari jumped back and held up her hands.
"Tai's brought breakfast." Kari said quietly. Mimi's eyes widened into large pools of brown.
"Show me the way!" Mimi shrieked as she leapt up and ran to Tai, who still had food in his shirt. Seconds later, there was nothing in the shirt as Mimi had gobbled it down. Everyone rolled their eyes and continued with their daily routines.
Later that morning, the eight kids began walking through the forest, gazing at the bright colored flowers and animals along the way. Matt sighed, attracting the attention to him.
"Do you guys miss the Digimon?" Matt asked, his voice showing his desire to be back with Gabumon, his Digimon partner. The others nodded as they remembered their partners also.
"It's been awhile, hasn't it?" Tai said, concentrating on the crest he still wore around his neck. Again, the others nodded.
"Four years is a long time." Sora stated sadly, recalling Biyomon, her partner.
"And time is normal there, so they're still around. According to my calculations, if the Digiworld's time had remained faster than Earth's, they'd have surely died by now." Izzy declared as he typed figured into his computer rapidly.
"I think the Digidestined should find their way back!" Mimi proclaimed happily. Smiles washed over the teenagers as the thought registered in their minds.
It had been a pretty long time since the eight of them had seen the Digiworld. Joe, the oldest of the Digidestined at sixteen, was twelve last time he saw Gomamon. Matt, Tai and Sora were all eleven then, and now at fifteen, missed Gabumon, Agumon and Biyomon, their digimon greatly. Izzy and Mimi were fourteen, making them ten last time they set eyes on Tentomon and Palmon. Kari and TK were only eight when they went to the Digiworld, and now as twelve year old kids, the memories of Gatomon and Patamon were fading fast. Each kid carried their crests with them everywhere they went, a constant reminder of the fight they fought and the friends they made.
"Then it's settled. After this trip, we find a way to the Digital World!" Tai exclaimed. A chorus of 'yeah!' and 'all right!' followed Tai's proclamation.
