The Quest for the Rings
It was the last period of the day and Kido thought that this time would never come. The time for the bell to ring. Through a few gaps in between his head and arms, which he was lying on, he heard his teacher say a few things and then the chime for the end of the day went off.
The lockers were the meeting place for the four and without fail; they always met there. Faye was packing a book that she wouldn't need and was about to close the door when Katie grabbed her hand. She examined the beautiful, silver ring with interesting markings on either side of the stone. The stone that shimmered red to blue and back. Faye tugged her hand back, "Ow." She moaned, "It is attached Katie!"
"Sorry, it's just, is that…THE ring?"
Faye was instantly regretting putting it on, and had no choice to nod her head.
"Faye!" Kido exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't tell you everything you know."
"Yeah, just like you didn't tell me about kissing Rick."
Katie gasped, "The Rick? The most popular guy in school, Rick?"
Faye raised her eyebrow.
"You kissed him?" sighed Katie.
Faye sweatdropped and replied, "For the school musical, it was a rehearsal and it's in the script. Besides, he's not my type."
"Anyway," interrupted JT, "back to the subject of the ring."
"Oh yeah right!" Kido shook his head, "When did you find it and where?"
"Yesterday, and at the Gardens." Came the reply.
"So what is your power? Genni said that it awakens your power." JT asked.
"I don't know, so far nothing has happened."
"Well, we should go look for ours again." Katie suggested.
"But we don't know where to look." Whined Kido.
"I wasn't looking, it just found me, I just walked and ended up to where it was."
"Well maybe we should try that." JT suggested.
"Okay, so we go our own directions and see what happens?" Katie asked.
"That's the plan." Kido nodded.
Faye looked around, "Um, I'm gonna head back to your place, I have some stuff to do."
"Okay." Kido frowned at her, "You okay?"
Faye nodded and walked away.
Kido found himself wondering around near the zoo. He used to come here when he was younger, but as he got older, visited the place less, because he had the digital world to go to. He sat down in front of the panthers; these were his favorite animals. He admired them for strength, agility and senses. A large panther with jet-black fur that shone in the sun, walked a few feet, then stretched and lay down. He grinned, and something near it caught his eye. It was something silver and the sun caught it, making the beams dance off it. Kido stepped forward and leaned against the cage to get a closer look. It was a ring very similar design and pattern near the stone as Fayes' but the stone was a black opal with glints of green and pink in it. Kido sighed, "Great, I have to risk my life, sanity and clean record to get this thing." He rolled his eyes, "I'm brave, I can do this."
With a quick glance around, he leaped onto the cage and climbed the rest of the way, up and over. He was careful to be very stealthy, so as not to alarm the rather large cats. He crept past the large sleeping panther that he had seen a few minutes earlier, and reached forward to pick up the object that had brought him here. He put it in his pocket and turned around. To his surprise, the sleeping cat was no longer sleeping. It was, in fact, wide awake and staring at him. Kido froze, if he ran, it would catch him and tear him apart, but he couldn't just stand there all day waiting for someone to help him. After all, he would be in serious trouble! Climbing into a panther enclosure, really! He remembered something; he had bought some beffjerky that day and put it in his pocket. He slowly reached in and tossed a large handful as far away as he could. The black creature turned and ran after it. Using this time, Kido bolted for the cage and started climbing. His feet hit the ground and he sighed a sigh of relief.
A flash of shock and fear hit him when he heard his name being called. He whipped his head to see who it was. A girl about his height, with light pink hair to her shoulders was calling after him. She was dressed in a cute little white skirt, with a light blue top. Her shoes were little sandals and she ran in them with grace. Kido smiled, "Sian!" (A/N: Pronounced, Shan) he shouted and started running to meet her. When they got closer, they embraced each other and then parted.
"I knew I would find you here." She smiled.
"You're back! How was Hawaii?"
"Good, but I missed you, so…"
"Really? You didn't see any surfers that could take my place?"
She giggled, "Never!"
They had been seeing each other for a few months now, and they really liked each other, but Faye had mentioned to Kido that he should watch out, she could be a heartbreaker, and could only be going out with him because his father was famous. Kido laughed at her and mocked her, saying that she was jealous. Faye shrugged and replied with her usual, "Whatever."
Katie found herself in the hospital. She loved the place. She had met a really friendly doctor here once and had taken her on a tour. The place fascinated her, how so many people could do small miracle everyday and save someone's life. She smiled to herself. She walked past the balcony on the third floor and something caught her eye in the pot plant. The pot was near a statue of a unicorn, which had been dedicated to the hospital by a thankful patient. The unicorn was said to be the protector of women and it's horn cures all poisons. She stepped out onto the balcony, and glanced at the skyline of the city. She bent forward and picked up a small silver ring. The stone in the middle was pure white and pearly. She smiled and put it on. A warm feeling flowed thew her. Then she left the hospital quickly to go find the others.
JT had been wandering around aimlessly for almost an hour and finally found himself at the theater. He admired actors, for the way they became other people and could change so quickly. He moved through the black wings and onto the stage. He stared up at all the thousands of chairs. He gulped thinking of the people who had to be up here when those chairs were all full. Something glinted in the gap between the chairs, in the second row. He frowned and walked over to see what it was. It was a silver ring, with a black stone in the middle. He picked it up and put it on. A tingling sensation ran all the way through his body and the stone started to change colours. Not like a mood ring, where it changes one colour, but constantly changed to all the colours of the rainbow and then some. "Cool." He mumbled to himself. Then ran out to tell the others.
Faye had been home for a while now, and to distract herself from the emptiness of the house, she did her homework and started playing a few cords on her guitar. She started singing a little tune she had scribbled down in class one day. She hadn't realized anyone was home, when Kido walked through the front door and went up to his room. He heard the singing and peered through the gap in the door. "I know, she was your angel. But God knows, even angels fall. And when you hurt, I'll cry your tears, 'cause I'll, be there, for you…" Faye sang. Kido loved her voice; it gave him Goosebumps every time he heard it. She stopped and put her guitar down and got up to go to the kitchen. Kido scrambled away from the door and when she stepped out, he casually pretended that he had just come out of his room. "You're back." She said, seeing him come out his room.
"Yup, found my ring too." He held up his hand, so she could see.
"Uhuh, you found your girlfriend too."
Kido frowned, "How did you know?"
"I can smell her perfume on you. It reeks!"
Kido folded his arms, "Well, I like it."
"Well, that's good, 'cause you're the one who has to put up with her."
"Why do you hate her so much?"
"She's shallow, irritating, and only going out with you because of your status."
"You are so jealous that I have someone! It's not my fault that you are emotionally numb and can't hold onto a boyfriend! Just 'cause you push everyone away from you, doesn't mean I have to, and you don't have to ruin this for me!"
A fire burned inside Faye, enraged she slapped him across the face. The boy was stunned, but Faye ignored her action and went to the TV area and turned it on. A music video came on. It was the band, their parent's band, 'Caged Freedom'. It was the song Ken and Faye had written for Avi. They had made the video in the digital world. She sat down and started to mouth the words of the song.
"…I lay my head onto the sand, the sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it. I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter, and in this moment, I am happy…happy. I wish you were here, I wish you were here…"
She turned off the television when she couldn't watch her and her father dancing and singing together anymore. She got up and hovered near the kitchen where Kido was. They looked at each other for a few seconds. They both wanted to say something, but both pride and stubbornness took over and they pushed past each other as they went their separate ways.
Just then the phone rang. Kido ran to pick it up. It was Katie; JT was over at her place and wanted to go over to see Kido and Faye because they had found their rings. "Sure!" Kido exclaimed and hung up.
A few minutes later, thanks to the hover-rail, the other two members of the group arrived at the house. Katie was very proud of her ring, and showed it to Faye and Kido immediately. "Fascinating." Said Faye, flatly.
JT showed his too. Kido smiled, "Great now we can go to the new digital world and fix it up."
"Um, one glitch, Kido," Faye said coldly, (she was still mad at him), "But how do we get there? Genni just took us last time, oh and yeah, about fixing it, that's out because if you didn't remember, the DIGITAL WORLD WAS DELETED!"
Kido glared at her, "Genni will take us, and we will start the new one."
To their surprise, Genni did take them to the black area that was the deleted space of the digital world. "You have found your rings, well done! Now you can start to build the New World. Just stand in a circle and hold hands, making sure that your rings are on your RIGHT finger."
They did as he said Faye hesitated and refused to hold their hands.
"Faye don't be difficult, please do this." Katie urged.
Faye huffed, "Fine. But I told you I am against this from the start."
They stood in a circle, holding hands and closed their eyes. Good thing too, because a brilliant, bright white light flashed from them and spread out in a pulse over the area, till there was no more black. They opened their eyes, only to be a little disappointed. They had expected to find the colorful digital world, but instead it was all black, white and gray.
"What happened to digicolour?" Kido asked.
"It will only be restored when you find your Digimon. Which is what we have to do now."
"We have Digimon?!" cried JT "Cool!"
Faye hung back when the group started to walk away. She felt uneasy and sad all at the same time, but she brushed it off, and quickly caught up.
Ken: What's up with Faye?
Nic: She doesn't want the new digital world without her father, Ken-chan, isn't it obvious?
Ken: You are gonna do something with her aren't you? *Narrows his eyes at Nic*
Kaiser: *laughs evilly*
Nic: Emperor boy, shush!
Ken: *Glares at Nic* You are cruel and inhumane!
Nic: *Grins* Why thank you Ken-chan!
Ken & Wormmon: *Sweatdrop*
(A/N: Oh, yeah, that song Faye sings, (well part of it anyway), it's mine, I wrote it, and would appreciate it, if you didn't take it. Also 'Caged Freedom' is mine too, it's my band.)
