Digimon: Digital Monsters
"The True Serpent of the Sea"
Who would ever think that I, Miyuka Kanabara, would be dropped into the Digital World with my twin brother Takuya, the "Kou" twins, Zoey, JP, and Tommy? I would've caught the next Trailmon to the Real World if Taki-kun hadn't said the oceans of the Digital World were crystal clear and just begging to be swam in. Now, I'm wishing I had pounded his head in while I had the chance before we left to meet up with his friends in the park.
I hate the fact that I didn't take my chance.

The surf lapped her feet as Miyuka sat on the beach, staring out at the sea. She was so comfortable when it came to water. It was only natural Miyuka was on the school swim team while Takuya ran himself ragged on the soccer field. Takuya sat on the beach with a bloody nose from Miyuka losing her usual sweet temper. Zoey was trying to help him while Tommy and JP were working on their campsite in the root enclosed space of a humungous tree. Kouji was getting food not too far away and Koichi sat on the beach just a few feet away from Miyuka.
"You sure knocked your brother for a loop, Miyu-chan." Koichi said with a smile. "I'm glad Kouji doesn't get mad enough to hit me that hard."
Miyuka just stared out at the rolling waves. "I didn't mean to hit him hard enough to give him a bloody nose. It just happened. But I feel different. Like I'm apart of that storm that's coming for us up there."
"Storm? Are you sure?" Koichi asked looking at the horizon. "I don't see any clouds. How can you tell?"
"The water. It just…it just told me that." Miyuka's answer surprised Koichi. Could Miyuka be Ranamon back in the first trip as Legendary Warriors? "I must sound like a nutcase."
Koichi stood up and walked to her side. He put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a smile. "You're not a nut case, Miyu-chan. You're just a water baby. Like Taki-kun is a hot head."
"I heard that!" Takuya called over to them in a nasally voice. Koichi looked at Miyuka as she hid a small laugh behind her hand. Koichi couldn't help but let a small smile pass across his lips.
Miyuka stared off over the ocean. Something was obviously going on inside her brain, something major.
"Ichi-kun?" Miyuka murmured softly.
"What's up, Miyu-chan?" Koichi asked.
"Do you remember our Digimon, back when we were Tamers?" Miyuka's question took him completely off guard. Remember Patamon and Salamon? Of course he remembered their Digimon. What was going on inside the girl twin's head? "Sometimes, I can feel her. Her pain. Her happiness. Her anger. I can feel her when I'm alone or when I'm scared. It's like her data's still apart of me from when we were fighting the D-Reaper. Sometimes I feel like I'm RoninGatomon again."
Koichi didn't know what to say. He couldn't really say anything. He didn't-no, he couldn't say anything. He had know Miyuka too long to know that when she brought up Salamon-there was nothing that could ever be said.
