Memories Out of Reach

Chapter 1: Prologue

Hey everybody! I'm Hope10032 and I'm here to bring you my very first fan fiction! This is more of an experiment than anything, but if you like it, please tell me! This is a crossover of 02, 03 and 04. There will be hints of TakuyaXKari, because I think that pairing is AWESOMENESS! Anyway, basically the majority of digidestined from those three seasons are all in high school. Here are some notes:

-Takuya, Hikari (Kari), Takeru (TK), Daisuke (Davis), Ken, Kouji, Kouichi, Izumi (Zoe), Rika, Takato, Henry, Jeri are all around 15

-Taichi (Tai), Sora, Yamato (Matt), Koushiro (Izzy) are all seniors in high school, while Joe is in college

-Ryo, Junpei (JP), and Miyako (Yolei) are second years in high school

-Tommy, Iori (Cody), Suzie, Ai, and Mako are all in middle school

-The 02 Oikawa incident 02 epilogue never happened

-The 02 and 03 characters have their digimon, and 04 have cell phones that turn into their D-tectors by pressing a button, with their spirits inside them (Takuya still has Earth and Wood, Kouji still has Water and Steel)

"..talking.."

'..thinking..'

- Flashbacks will be labeled as such

Chapter 1: Prologue

Kari's POV

It was a typical Monday morning for the second generation digidestined. Hikari Kamiya, Takeru Takaishi, Daisuke Motomiya, and Ken Ichijouji were all in the same homeroom. None of them had changed very much after peace had been restored to the Digital World some time ago. The four friends were now first years in Odaiba High, with Miyako Inoue a year ahead, and Iori Hida still in Odaiba Middle School.

School had started just a week ago, officially ending their summer break. For some unknown reason, Kari had an odd feeling in her stomach, like something important was about to happen that would change her life forever. Thinking about this had caused her to zone out, not noticing her friend, TK, trying in vain to grab her attention. When he snapped his fingers in front of her, she jerked back to reality.

"Kari are you okay? I've been trying to talk to you for the past five minutes," TK pointed out worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry, I guess I just zoned out there for a bit," she answered.

It didn't look like he believed her, but he grudgingly dropped the subject just to humor her. When Kari looked around, she started to take in all the details in hope of finding out why she had this feeling. She herself was situated with a window on her left, TK on her right. Directly in behind them sat their other friends, Davis and Ken, while in front of them sat Takato and an empty seat. In the row next to her's, sat a boy she knew as Kouji Minamoto sitting next to his twin, Kouichi Kimura. In front of them sat Izumi Orimoto and Jeri Katou, while behind sat Rika Nonaka and Henry Wong. Davis turned around so he could talk to her and TK better with Ken listening in.

"Hey guys, guess what. My cousin moved here over the weekend and now he's going to be attending school here! How cool is that?!" he announced excitedly. "He's super cool! In fact, it was because of him that I started wearing goggles and playing soccer in the first place! He's even better than me at the sport and you guys know how awesome I am."

"Oh, so he's to blame for you being a soccer loving goggle-head? I thought that it was because of Tai." TK snickered.

"Very funny TJ, I guess I forgot to laugh."

"Settle down class. I've an important announcement," their teacher said. When everyone eventually quieted down, he continued.

"Everyone, I'd like you all to meet a new student joining us. I hope you all welcome him warmly. He'll be sitting in the seat next to Takato. Would you like to introduce yourself?" the teacher asked the boy. Kari was stunned.

'Is that who I think it is? No it can't be, that's impossible! Surely I'm just seeing things…' but there he was, standing there with that familiar, lopsided grin that had been ingrained into her memory. He hadn't changed much, just turned into an older version of the young boy she knew. He still had his chestnut brown hair that was spiky and wild. Still had that gleam in his eyes that makes you believe that they're on fire.

"Hi everyone, my name is Takuya Kanbara. I just moved here from around the Shibuya district." the boy said. The thing that made Kari believe that it really was who she thought he was, was the worn, olive green hat turned backwards with a pair of square goggles resting on top. Even though he'd gotten much older and his appearance had changed a little, she'd know that hat anywhere, for she was the one who'd given it to him all those years ago in the first place.

And we're done with the first chapter! Finally! I really hope you liked it. If you have any questions/concerns/constructive criticism or would just like to tell me how you feel about the story, please let me know! I am new at writing fan fiction, and new to this website as well, so anything helps. After reading so many good fan fictions about digimon, I thought 'What the heck, why not?' If you have advice for me, please PM me. Oh! BTW, I'm really lazy, and won't be describing characters' looks unless it fits into the story. If you want to know what they look like, look them up on the the web/digiwiki! The length of the chapters may vary in size, and I might not update this in a while because I can already feel the writers block creeping up on me! I guess that's about it so… Hope is signing out!
