A/N: Thanks for the reviews! This one will be in Sora's POV so there won't be as much profanity! It was nice to write in a girl's point of view for once; hopefully it will be enjoyable to read as well.

Please read&review :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon

Biyomon Gets Firepower!

Can I just start by saying in the last 24 hours, my best friend Mimi and I were transported along with 5 other men to a strange new world where everything is trying to kill us? Because it totally is happening but thankfully these little guys called Digimon were assigned to protect us. Like yesterday, when Taichi and Matt were in trouble, their Digimon came in to save them and thank God for that!

It was mid morning by the time Sora Takenouchi opened her eyes. She felt sore and achy and her back felt so stiff that she doubted even an all day session with her shiatsu masseuse could fully loosen all the knots that had formed especially in her upper shoulders.

The redhead groaned as she brought herself up to a sitting position and tried to stretch out her stiff back and immediately regretted it.

I'm getting too old for this for sure.

"Sora! You're awake!" Her little pink bird smiled up at her and Sora gave the Digimon a hug, the soft pink feathers tinged with blue soft against her face.

"Good morning to you too!" From beside her Mimi stirred and grumbled in her sleep when her eyelids fluttered and opened. She rubbed at her sleepy eyes before gazing up at Sora.

"Don't tell me we're still here."

"Yeap. Sorry babe. No tempurpedic mattresses and room service for us, I'm afraid." Sora teased as she helped the model up into a sitting position.

Mimi sat there dazed for a moment before she reached into her bag and took out her hand mirror. Sora cringed at the incoming scream and panic attack. Not that Mimi looks beat up but...yeah actually she looks pretty beat up.

"EEK!" She gasped loudly as she stared at her reflection, picking twigs and leaves out of her hair and smoothing a dirt smudge from her cheek.

"Sora! You-Your hair!" Yeap. Panic attack. Running a hand through her long bob Sora shrugged. What could she do? They were literally out in the middle of nowhere, there wasn't even a bathroom to tinkle like a proper lady let alone a shower and a vanity.

Mimi sighed noisily and began to brush Sora's hair.

"Sor, honey, you have to always look good." A smile tugged at the corners of the redhead's mouth.

"Um, earth to Mimi? We're stuck. In the middle of nowhere." Mimi stopped mid brush and turned to Biyomon and Palmon who'd managed to wake up during the ruckus.

"Sweethearts, maybe you could get us some fruit?" Palmon seemed to understand Mimi's undertone and winked.

"Sure thing, Mimi! We'll be right back!" When the digimon had gone off a ways, Mimi faced Sora again and stared at her with such intensity that Sora had to lean back on her hands.

Ummm….is she going to confess that she likes me or something? That would be super awkward.

"SORA. This is what I've been praying for," the cinnamon haired girl began, blushing and looking away. Sora gulped nervously.

"Uh, Meems? I...I'm sorry, I don't really-"

"Sora. Just listen to me for a sec, ok? I mean, you're my best friend and I care about you a lot but really-" Oh. My. God. Is this happening? Is this really happening? I can't. I just can't.

"-you're 27, turning 28 soon and before you know it, you'll be forever alone. Sora, this is the chance to finally find a boyfriend. Seriously, when was the last time you had a man?"

Sora was shocked. Relieved as well that her best friend wasn't actually confessing to being in love with her, but mostly shocked.

It has been a while since my last serious relationship.

A bright crimson blush began to creep into Sora's face and she found she couldn't face her pretty friend.

Mimi grinned triumphantly.

"Babe, think about it. Of all the people we could have ended up with in a strange new world, we end up with five eligible bachelors. FIVE. I couldn't have arranged a better sausage fest myself. Let's see, we have a soccer star, a rockstar turned astrophysicist, a doctor, a social media startup billionaire and TK. Sure he's a little young but they make the best lo-"

"MIMI! Please, you're starting to sound like my mother."

"I'm sorry Sor! I'm just saying, your ovaries are not getting any younger."

"MIMI!"

"...you know I love you, right?"

Sora glared at her best friend. This was insufferable. She just called me old. OLD. I'm only 27!

"Ok then. Let's say then you take Taichi and the doctor and I'll take Yamato and Koushiro. And we'll share TK between the two of us."

"What?! Oh god. Mimi this is mortifying!" Sora moaned as she covered her eyes with her hands and tried to shake off Mimi's hand now gripping her shoulder.

"Come on, Sor! Even you had to notice Taichi checking you out. Seriously, ever since we got here, he's been stealing glances." Taichi Kamiya? Checking out Sora Takenouchi?

"No way."

"Yes way. You should give him a chance. Take it as a gift from God, you know, a one way ticket out of spinsterdom."

"I'm hardly a spinster."

"Yeah but you will be, if you don't do anything about it soon."

"You are crazy. For sure. And let me remind you, you're only a year behind me."

"You know you love me. And might I remind you that boys are not a problem. Not for me anyways." Mimi had draped herself over Sora, hugging her tightly from behind.

Darn it. Why can't I ever stay mad at this girl?

It was a losing battle and Sora gave up in a peal of giggles. It was useless trying to stay mad at Mimi. She'd grown up spoiled and loved by life and now as an adult was a professional charmer and seductress. Definitely a charmer. For sure.

"Whoa. Did I miss something here?" The girls quickly separated as the younger of the two blondes walked into the soft patch of grass in the forest.

"TK, darling, you should know better than to walk in on ladies." Mimi grinned as she stood up to give TK a hug, giving him a kiss on the cheek and he blushed wildly. And definitely a seductress.

Sora smiled as he bent down to give her a kiss as well and blushed as she thought of Mimi's earlier comment.

TK may be young but they make the best lovers...We'll share TK between the two of us.

She shook her head. That whole conversation with Mimi? Madness. No need to make it weird or awkward with everyone.

"The others are starting to wake and Biyomon and Palmon just got back with a whole bunch of fruit." TK grinned as he helped pull Sora up to her feet and she rolled her eyes at Mimi who just laughed and ran off towards where the rest of the men were waiting. I'm going to kill her.

"So...uh, what was that about?"

OH GOD.

They'd been walking for a good couple hours. HOURS. And so far, they hadn't run into a single person. Or a town.

Well. At least there's been no other monster Digimon. Thank god.

The humidity was starting to get stifling and it was getting difficult to catch her breath. Fortunately, it seemed everyone else was starting to get tired as well as the group stalled to a brief stop.

"Do we keep going this way? I don't know about you guys but this forest is really starting to annoy the fuck out of me." Taichi wiped at the sweat accumulated on his brow and he smiled when he caught Sora's crimson eyes. Blushing furiously Sora turned her gaze away and saw Mimi wink at her surreptitiously.

Ever since their little, er, conversation this morning, Sora was...noticing the handsome soccer star. It seemed every time she glanced at his general direction, he seemed to be looking at her, too.

Oh my god, I'm starting to become delusional. It's official, I'm spending way too much time with Mimi Tachikawa. For sures.

"You tell me, oh fearless leader. What are we looking for anyways?" Koushiro was standing with his back against a tree for support while he let his backpack rest on the rocky floor.

Just then, the air above them buzzed and a large black object flew past their heads.

"OH GOD! WHAT WAS THAT?!" The blue haired doctor jumped as a rush of wind from the object blew his hair away from his forehead.

"Holy shit, Jyou! Stop yelling!" Yamato yelled as he glared at the doctor before scanning the skies where they could just make out the mysterious black object flying towards a mountain in the distance.

"GUYS! It looks like a gear of some sort!" TK was using the lenses on his DSLR as a magnifying glass and Sora was impressed with his quick thinking.

"What? Let me see." TK handed his camera over to Taichi and the brunette was quiet for a few seconds, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Ok. So he is pretty attractive. And he's got leadership qualities. Sure he has a potty mouth but wasn't there that article that mentioned people who swear are more trustworthy?

Sora blinked a couple of times before shaking her head. There I go again. GOD. This is getting to be a bit much. Concentrate on getting back home!

"Yeah. What the fuck, it does look like a gear. And it crashed on that mountain. I say we go out there and check it out." Taichi handed the camera back to TK.

"WHAT?! You want to check that out? Tai, are you crazy?! That could be a missile of sorts! We should be running away from the mountain!" The blue haired doctor was obviously panicked again and Sora wondered what her friend was thinking when she suggested Sora try for either the soccer star or the doctor.

"Well, I agree with Tai on this one. We should check out the crash site, who knows, maybe it was a manned aircraft and there'll be someone who can tell us how we can get home." Koushiro had picked up the backpack again, ready to go. Taichi flashed the redhead a smile, glad that someone agreed with him.

"Exactly."

"Hold on, Tai. Let's think about this for a minute here. Every single damn time we find some sort of sign of civilization, we get attacked. First you were attacked by Shellmon by the payphones, then Matt with Seadramon by the trolley car. Don't you think there's a pattern there?"

Sora bit her lip, it did seem the doctor had a point. Taichi glared at the doctor but seemed to think over his comment.

"Yeah but I still think we should check it out. Cover all our bases. I don't know about you guys but I'm on a schedule. I fucking have to get back and what if that UFO was our one ride back?"

Jyou rolled his eyes. "You are not the only one that has to get back. I have back to back procedures scheduled for all next week and my brother is not going to appreciate that I didn't even attend the conventi-"

"Jyou! Look, dude, we really appreciate your concern. But really, we should check it out. And besides, if pattern holds up, if we get attacked then one of our Digimon will step in and intervene." Matt smirked as he looked around at the group.

"Yes, I agree with Matt on this one. And probably, if we are going to base it on our previous encounters with the Digimon, one of us is going to get singled out and that person's digimon will digivolve to save them." It almost seemed like Koushiro was talking to himself but then he glanced at Taichi and Matt.

"I'm going to assume since Agumon and Gabumon have already digivolved, its going to be either myself, Jyou, Sora, Mimi or TK next."

The doctor gulped.

"Well, we've had 2 gentlemen in the spotlight, maybe the next time it will be one of the ladies?" Sora rolled her eyes as Mimi gasped from next to her.

"KOUSHIRO IZUMI! How could you even suggest something like that?! Aren't the gentlemen supposed to protect the damsels in distress?!" She pouted and batted her eyelashes at the redhead genius. Koushiro just stared at Mimi blankly before turning towards Taichi and the other guys.

"Well, you hardly seem like a damsel to me. My vote is that we go investigate the aircraft."

Taichi looked from one adult to the other. "I guess it's settled then? Majority seems to agree with me so let gets moving." He grinned and when his gaze reached Sora, he winked.

As the guys started walking towards the mountain, Sora and Mimi found themselves walking together.

"So it seems things are going well for you and the, hmmm what did you call him? Oh yeah, the social media startup billionaire." Sora teased. Mimi scowled at Sora.

"Ugh. I couldn't believe my ears. Well, it seems things are going well for you and our leader. I saw that wink!" Sora stared at Mimi, mouth agape.

"NO! It was a friendly wink, like between friends."

"Whatever, girl. I know an attracted male when I see one. Besides, ever notice how he always seemed to end up walking behind you? Yeah, thought so." Mimi grinned.

"Behind me? Really, Meems? That doesn't seem like anything. If he was interested wouldn't he try to walk with me?"

"You silly. Babe, walking behind you means he's checking you out. It means he's trying to make up his mind if he wants to pursue you or not. Like if you're going to be worth his while."

Oh.

"And besides, ever notice how he always seems to be there hovering around you? Yeah. Definitely interested."

"Interested? In what?" YIKES! Taichi Kamiya had slowed his pace down to match that of the girls and was now grinning like he knew some awful secret. Sora's face burned and she and Mimi exchanged horrified glances at each other.

OH MY GOD. Did he just hear everything?! Please don't tell me he heard anything! If he did, I'm going to literally crawl into a hole and suffocate myself for sure. OH MY GOD.

"We're all interested. You know, in the airplane." Mimi had recovered more quickly than Sora and she flashed the tanned male one of her winning smiles.

"Really? Something smells like bullshit here, ladies. And I don't mean it literally." He was grinning that awful grin again and the pit of Sora's stomach churned viciously.

Oh god. I'm going to be sick.

Mimi rolled her eyes.

"You better not be calling us stinky. I'll have you know, girls' farts smell like roses and glitter and besides, Taichi Kamiya, why would we be talking about anything else than going back home? Sora and I also have an important editorial to shoot for Harper's Bazaar and Harper's always stick to their deadlines." With that, the girl in pink haughtily flipped her loose cinnamon curls over her shoulder before quickening her pace to join the rockstar she'd already claimed as her own.

Wait! Mimi, no! Don't leave me alone with him!

Taichi raised an eyebrow at Mimi as she slipped a hand around the surprised blonde's arm.

"She's so weird. Anyways, come on, Sor, didn't want the ladies to be at the back of the pack and as leader I should be towards the front of the group." He lightly grabbed her elbow and began to lead her towards the front.

Sora had to admit, his soft but firm touch had her mind reeling, so much so that she didn't even realize they'd managed to escape the clutches of the humid forest and right into a hot and arid desert.

Oh yikes. When did this happen? Have I been so caught up with Taichi that I didn't even notice the change in scenery? OMG. Girl, you need to focus.

The desert was swelteringly hot as the sun beat down mercilessly upon them. There were strange utility poles in the sand and something about them didn't feel right to Sora.

I feel like I'm in a Dali painting. Like, we're all melting into each other and oh god, that would make for a fantastic trunk show! A Dali inspired show would be so-well, to have the show, I'd actually have to be back home, for sure.

"Guys? Do you notice there seems to be no lines running between the poles?" Sora asked as they passed by another row of decrepit poles, the wood sunbleached and weathered from standing long periods of time in the harsh desert climate.

"Yeah. It's pretty creepy." Koushiro murmured. He had his satellite phone out again but judging from his facial expression, Sora assumed there was no signal. Of course, with Koushiro, you never know what he's really feeling.

"Yeah, like the weird phones at the beach, the weird trolley car at the lake and now these weird telephone poles!" Mimi exclaimed as it seemed she thought of some interesting theory.

"What about all of them?" Jyou asked as he wiped the sweat away from his brow. Jyou had peeled off his cream colored vest while in the humid heat of the forest and had packed it into Mimi's Louis Vuitton Keepall that he still dutifully carried.

"Oh nothing. I just thought of them, is all." She smiled sweetly as Palmon tugged on the hem of her dress.

"Mimi, I think I'm going to burn from all this sun!" Poor Palmon. She was a flower, after all. The flower petals on the top of her head seemed to wilt and Sora was worried for the little Digimon. The other Digimon seemed to be pretty tired as well but seemed to take it better than Palmon.

"Oh, you poor darling! Here, take my hat, you need it more than I do!" Mimi shook her hair out from under her large floppy sunhat and placed on Palmon's head. The Digimon smiled gratefully at her partner and Sora wished her phone's battery hadn't died, it would have made for such a lovely Instagram.

Mimi's cinnamon hair glowed brilliantly in the sun and Sora smirked to see the men and especially TK openly staring at the pretty brunette. Boys will be boys. And note to self: super sleek and shiny hair to add to the Dali-esque feel.

"Alright, guys. Let's keep going. I think I see something in the distance. TK, give me your camera again." Taichi broke up the silence that had befallen the exhausted group and once TK dutifully handed him the camera, used it to spy on something in the distance.

"Holy shit! There's a village there guys!" Everyone's head whipped up in surprise. A village? A legit village or another creepy empty sign of civilization?

"And movement! Fuck yeah! I think there's people there!" He was getting more excited and he grinned widely at everyone as he handed TK back his camera.

"Let's get out of this god forsaken desert!"

The walk to the village was a short one as they realized the closer they got to the 'village' that it was much, much smaller than it had appeared.

"What the hell? Is this some abandoned playground or something?" Yamato grumbled as he looked at the small little thatched roof huts.

Sora's spirits fells. She'd been so hopeful when Tai'd announced he'd found a village.

Suddenly there was a flash of pink and within moments, the adults and their digimon were surrounded by a mob of little...Yokomons?

Sora and Mimi squealed. They were so cute! And there were so many of them!

"Awww! How adorable! Is this a Yokomon village? OMG, they're all so cute, I want to take them all home!" Mimi cooed as she bent down and picked up a Yokomon.

"Definitely, so adorbs!" Sora felt a rush of affection for the baby versions of her own Digimon and she laughed brightly as the little pink critters surrounded her.

"Biyomon! Biyomon! How did you digivolve so quickly?!" Biyomon, Sora determined, was a celebrity in her hometown of Yokos.

"Well, I had help from Sora, my human! I had to digivolve to protect her!"

Biyo protects me? Aww I guess that's why she's always by my side!

"Wow, Biyomon! You even talk differently too!"

"Yeah! I guess I picked it up from Sora!" Sora smiled at the thought. It was like she had a child of her own. And Mimi said my ovaries are getting dusty? Well, who needs babies when you can have a Biyomon! Although if the digimon are picking up on our speech…

Sora glanced over at the three resident potty mouths.

The men stood awkwardly to one side as they watched the women coo and cuddle the baby digimon.

"This is kind of a fu-" Taichi began but stopped as Sora shot him a glare.

"Tai! Watch what you say, there are children here!" Taichi shrugged but didn't argue. Meanwhile, TK had taken to wandering around the village with Patamon and yelled excitedly at the adults that he'd found water.

Located centrally in the village was a large fountain with crystal clear water and just beyond the village was a vast lake. Sunk right in the middle of the lake was a decrepit ocean liner that looked like an abandoned cruise ship and Sora was surprised that the water was so clear she could see to the very bottom of the deep lake.

"Bro, this water is so good!" TK yelled as he helped himself to handfuls of the cool, clear water.

"Of course that water is good! That water is from Mt. Miharashi!" One of the Yokomon pipped up.

"Mt Miharashi water is famous for being the cleanest, freshest water in all the universe!" Tentomon corroborated as the rest of the adults gathered around to have some water as well.

"Finally something you're right about!" Yamato mumbled to Tentomon as he drank some of the water.

Sora realized how thirsty she actually was and started to head for a fountain when there was a familiar rumble in the ground.

"Oh fu-fudge!" Taichi corrected himself, glancing at Sora as he did so and all the adults tensed as they readied themselves for another monster digimon.

Suddenly, there was a high pitched whistling sound from the fountain and they stared in horror as the water in the fountain started to shake then boil and quickly evaporate.

A few moments later, there was a rush of hot air and everyone stumbled back from the fountain as a tower of fire erupted from the middle.

"Oh shit!" Yamato grunted and he rushed over to TK to make sure the younger blonde was ok. Surprisingly, Jyou did not panic but instead stood there with an almost smug expression on his face.

"I told you something was going to happen. Frankly, I'm just thankful it wasn't another crazy digimon."

"Oh no! But now the Yokomon's water supply is all gone!" Mimi wailed as she picked up another Yokomon and nuzzled it against her cheek.

"Don't worry! We have the lake!" One of the Yokos chirped. Sora looked over at the lake and gritted her teeth.

"Umm, the water in the lake seems to have evaporated as well."

"Oh no! How did that happen? Mt. MIharashi is protected by Meramon, he'd never let the water supply dry up like this!" The Yokos began to cry and the men began to look stricken.

"Meramon? Pray, do tell, what does Meramon look like?" Koushiro was looking a little pale and Sora found she was very uncomfortable with that revelation.

"Meramon is a fire type digimon!" Tentomon buzzed as he peered at his redhaired friend.

"Fire? Like Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four?" TK asked as he too looked towards the mountain.

"Who's Johnny Storm?"

"NEVERMIND COMICS! WHAT IS THAT THING COMING FROM THE MOUNTAIN?!" The doctor now sounded panicked and Sora turned around to see a horrifying sight. A figure that really did look like the Human Torch was speeding down the mountain and it was heading straight towards them.

"That's Meramon! What is he doing?! He's going to set the whole village up on fire! He never leaves Mt. Miharashi!"

"Everyone! We need to evacuate! Come on, Yokos, this way!" Sora called loudly, her motherly instinct to protect her babies kicking into gear.

"Right! Come on, kids, er Yokos! To the ship!" Taichi began to herd the panicked digimon towards the abandoned cruise ship in the middle of what was once the lake and soon it was all out pandemonium.

Streams of Yokomon ran past Sora and Taichi at the entrance of the ship while Izumi and TK helped the digimon navigate their way to the top deck. From there, Jyou, Matt and Mimi worked to keep the babies comfortable and most of all, safe from the fast approaching Meramon.

Speaking of safe, where was Biyomon?!

Sora scanned the area with her ruby eyes, trying to spot her friend. It was more difficult than said, considering that Biyo was pink and what with all the other pink Yokos, it was like trying to pick out a peanut M&M amidst a thousand regular M&Ms.

"Biyo! Biyo! Where are you?!" Sora called out, feeling the panic rising in her throat.

The last of the Yokos seemed to come down over the edge of the lake and it was there that Sora saw Biyomon, facing the fire digimon as it came closer.

"Biyo! Come back!" Sora ran towards her digimon and willed it to come down.

"SORA! GET BACK HERE!" Taichi yelled and at the sound of Tai's voice, Agumon came running.

"Tai! What's going on?" Taichi began to run towards Sora, who was stopped staring up at Meramon and Biyomon eyeing each other.

"Spiral Twister!" The little pink bird yelled and the digimon's signature green attack flew towards the fiery monster.

Oh god, please let Biyomon be ok!

The monster, however, seemed unaffected by the attack and grinned sinisterly at the pink bird before swatting it away. Sora shuddered at the sight of the digimon's mouth: it was sewed shut, like legit, sewed shut but the digimon still seemed capable of laughing evilly.

Sora gasped as Biyo seemed to lose air and drop unceremoniously towards her.

"BIYOMON!" Sora yelled as she ran to catch her little friend.

"Oh fuck, AGUMON! GREYMON SEEMS LIKE A REALLY GREAT IDEA RIGHT ABOUT NOW!" Agumon, Patamon, Tentomon and Gabumon had caught up to where Sora and Tai were standing and they each began to throw attacks at the giant fiery digimon.

"PEPPER BREATH!"

"SUPER SHOCKER!"

Each successive attack only seemed to make Meramon grow larger and soon he was towering over all of them.

Oh my god. He's feeding off their attacks! Oh god, it's like Godzilla on fire! I'm going to die and I didn't even get a chance to do anything with my life! Oh my god, my bucket list! My designs- I had so many ideas for my own line! Oh please, I can't die yet!

The heat emanating off of the digimon was so intense it was getting hard to breathe and Sora and Tai stood there frozen in fear as they realized their friends' attacks were useless.

Mimi clutched to the rail of the cruise ship, much like Rose in Titanic right before the ship sank into the ocean except of course there was no water here obvs, and watched in fear as the digimon grew bigger and bigger.

OH MY GOSH! Look! Tai and Sora are together! Aww they're going to die together!

Wait. That didn't sound right.

"Shit! That thing's huge!" Mimi glanced at Yamato who was standing next to her and if Mimi hadn't been so worried that she was going to lose her best (and possibly only) friend in the whole world, she'd have swooned over how sexy he looked with his brow furrowed and his jaw set firmly.

Actually, I might have swooned just a little. Sorry Sor!

"Yeah, you think?! Dear lord! I hate burns, I really, really, really hate treating burns!" The doctor was wringing his hands nervously while praying either Greymon or whatever big form of Biyomon was will step in to save their friends.

And if they are going to die by Meramon, god forbid, please let their bodies be cremated instantly so we don't have to bury their burned bodies!

It was morbid but true: burns were the worst types of wounds, with their red, blistering, oozing wound beds-that is if there was enough flesh left to create a wound bed-not to mention their horrible tendency to get infected and-

"WHAT THE HELL?! Wow. I just can't even. I can't. When the hell did Meramon get so big?! It wasn't that big before, was it? NOPE. NOPE, I can't." Takeru had just come up after herding the last of the Yokomon and he stared slack jawed at the giant flame.

"TK! Thank god you're ok! Where's Izzy?" Yamato asked as he glanced quickly at his brother before looking down at the situation at hand. Nevermind, he thought between gritted teeth as he saw the thin ginger run towards where Tai and Sora stood with a group of their digimon.

"I don't believe Meramon was that big before. Curiouser and Curiouser. Well, quite frankly, I'm surprised Biyomon hasn't digivo-huh, there she goes!" Koushiro smiled as Biyomon was enveloped in a blinding white light and a giant...bird on fire with odd teeth jutting out from it's beak?

Ok well, for starters, I would NOT fight fire with fire. The obvious choice would be water but with such a limited supply of water at hand, my next choice would be to smother that thing with earth or rock maybe. And also, who put teeth on a bird's beak?! That's just creepy.

"Well, fuck. I'm glad you're so calm and collected because I'm about to piss myself and-AHHHH SHIT!" The giant flame grinned down at them evilly before starting to slide down the cliff towards where Tai, Sora and now Izzy were standing, their digimon trying to guard them.

Birdramon quickly intercepted the Meramon and they both crashed onto the ledge where the lake began.

Sora was amazed at how powerful and amazingly beautiful Birdramon was, with her fiery wings and long draping tail. Birdramon could easily be my muse for the final piece! That is, if I manage to survive this!

Her crimson eyes were hopeful as they watched the bird-like digimon fly high into the sky.

"METEOR WING!" A rain of fire bombs hit Meramon and he gave off one last anguished cry before shrinking back and Birdramon transformed back into Biyomon before once again falling into Sora's arm.

"Biyomon! You did it! Thank you for saving us!" Sora whispered as she hugged her little friend.

"Don't mention it! I'd save you again and again!" The redhead grinned as she tightened her hold on her Digimon and was surprised when a pair of strong arms enveloped them both.

"GROUP HUG! Biyomon, you were fucking amazing!" Sora stiffened when she realized just who it was giving them a hug and groaned to herself. Girl, you have to stop making it weird. Just stop. Stay away from Mimi, she's a bad influence, for sure.

Once all the excitement had gone down-thank goodness! the adults assisted all the Yokomon back to their village and they collectively interrogated the now lucid Meramon why he'd attacked them.

After telling them a (mostly) believable story about a black gear hitting him and driving him crazy, the Meramon apologized profusely before heading back to Mt. Miharashi.

"Thank you for saving our village!"

"Yes thank you! You must have dinner with us!" The Yokos cried, bouncing around. They were so. stinkin. cute!

Why phone?! Why'd your battery have to die?!

The Yokomon got busy running around, preparing dinner while the adults relaxed by the lakeside.

Sora had her shoes off and was relishing in the feel of the soft grass against her toes. The anxiety of the day had left her feeling exhausted, and while she still really, really, really wanted to go home, she really only had energy enough to put food into her system and crash.

"I'd keep your shoes on, if I were you. Who knows when we'll have to run next?" Jyou muttered as he sat down next to her.

Sora smiled and turned to face him, propping herself up on one arm.

"I know but it's so nice here and my feet hurt. Like, they really, really hurt." Jyou sighed as he reached over and gently began to massage her feet.

Oh. My. GOD. What is going on here?! Is this really, really happening? I'm getting a foot rub from DR. JYOU KIDO?! OMG, I hope Mimi's not watching, she'll never let me hear the end of this. Oh god, she's watching, isn't she?!

"Relax, I'm a doctor." Jyou grinned and Sora felt a blush spread across her face. In the warm pink rays of the sun, Jyou's navy hair took on an almost violet hue and he looked lovely. Not to mention, his hands were really soft and gentle.

Oh my god, I'm so easy. When did I become so easy?

"You're telling me to relax? Wow, I have to write about this in my diary." Sora grinned as he began to work on her other foot. He just shook his head, smiling at her and Sora hoped her leg hairs hadn't grown in yet.

It's been 2 days already, I hope I'm not prickly, oh god. That would be mortifying and so unattractive, for sure!

"Well. I hope your feet feel better now so you can put your shoes back on." Jyou teased as Sora wiggled her toes-thank god I had the foresight to get a pedicure before this whole thing went down!

"Thanks, Jyou! I really appreciate it, it was sweet of you, super sweet, for sure." She reached over and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Now it was the doctor's turn to stammer. "Don't mention it. Um, er, I think Mimi's calling for us. Dinner's ready, most likely."

Mimi?! Oh darn it!

The doctor helped pull the ginger up after she put on her shoes and together they made the short hike back up to the village where the Yokomon had set up dinner.

One of the little cuties placed a large wooden bowl in her hands and Sora looked down at what looked like rice.

Just plain white rice.

Without even a little bit of sauce.

Sigh.

Sora hadn't realized she was expecting anything but quite clearly she had been.

"Um. Can I get the sriracha, anyone?" Takeru, it seemed, was just as disappointed as she was.

"I think who ever cooked forgot to make the main dish." The older blonde grumbled as he peered into his own bowl.

"Shoosh, Yama, a gracious guest never insults the hosts' cooking! And besides, the Yokomon are still babies. I'd say they cook pretty well for being infants!" Mimi whispered to the brothers and the youngest just grinned at her.

"Who says I'm insulting them? This looks pretty good!" TK exclaimed as he began to eat the small white kernels.

"It's really not too terrible, if you get past the fact that they kind of look like maggots." Koushiro mused to himself. Ugh, maggots. Now why'd you have to say that, Iz?

"Yeah well. Fu-udge it! I'm so hungry, I don't care what I eat!" Taichi too began to help himself to his share and the Yokomon gazed at him eating happily.

"Eat all you want! We have plenty for seconds!"

"Yeah, I can see why. Know what, I'm not really that hungry, thank you." Jyou mumbled as he put his bowl down. He'd taken a few bites out of courtesy.

Sora agreed. "Yeah, I think I just need to crash. Thank you though." She smiled as she thought how strange things were turning out to be.

Digimon, Digital World, new friends and maybe even potential lovers...Oh wow, am I going to be inspired when I get back...

Please r&r :)
