Kushiro: Soul exchange…?

Renazi: Yes…

She looked at Ken who was still in his shock and Miyako was sitting next to him

Renazi: Ken-san

Ken looked at her

Renazi: Did you see the thing that hits Mizumi-sama

Ken nodded

Renazi: Has huge black wings? Wearing black cloths and black mask only his red eyes are shown?

Ken: Yes

Renazi: Holding stick on its top a half moon shape?

Ken: Yes…it was the scariest thing I ever saw…Mizu-san stood in front of him, it was only for moments but it was the longest moments in my whole life…I saw a lot of crimson rays but I saw black rays are wrapping them then wrapping Mizu-san

Renazi: I knew it…

Kushiro: What is it?

Renazi: That is the soul eater

The all shocked

Renazi: The strange aura Mizumi-sama felt before he appears then her new aura after the attack, it all makes sense now…the soul eater came to hunt Ken-san's soul since it used to carry the dark seeds, you see the seeds give him a lot of power…but Mizumi-sama soul is like a poison to him so it shocked him when she appeared in front of him as I said her soul can kill him, he didn't eat her soul he just exchange it with one of the souls he hunted recently

The all were shocked

Kushiro: You mean, that girl, Sakura is already dead…?

Renazi: Yes…maybe two to three hours…if you searched around here you will find her body

Kushiro: But, this is the digital world no human lives here

Renazi: No, it seems that this forest is in the middle space between the digital world and real world

Matt: Now you are saying that Mizu is Mizu from outside but from inside…

Renazi: Yes…Mizumi-sama's body is like a host of lost soul named Sakura; I bet Sakura herself doesn't know that she is already dead

Miyako: Why didn't the soul eater eat her soul?

Renazi: I think the cause of her death isn't the soul eater…maybe she fall or drawn…when the soul eater felt about Mizumi-sama's crimson chakra he knew that he will be dead once he touches her soul but he can't stop the attack, and Sakura soul was wandering around he used her soul and exchange it with Mizumi-sama soul

Miyako: But you said he can't touch Mizu soul

Renazi: He didn't touch it, he just used Sakura soul to get Mizumi-sama soul out of his way and this is when that can happen to worlds like these

The all were speechless when Tai break the silence

Tai: What should we do now? How can we get Mizu back?

Renazi: We first should know how to find her soul…then we will figure out something, till this happen we should keep Mizumi-sama body safe

Kari: Talking about her body, she disappeared

The all shocked and looked around them but Mizumi or Sakura had disappeared

Joe: Where did she go?

Kushiro: Probably to her village

Tai: Shimata…

He was about to run when Matt stopped him

Matt: Where do you think you are going?

Tai: I have to find Mizu, I mean…that girl who took Mizu's body

Matt: You don't know where the village is

Tai: I don't care I will search about that damn village…

Joe came closer: We need to clear our heads before we do anything…we may lose time in running here and there without knowing the directions

Tai upset: The sun is about to set…didn't you hear her…her wedding is tonight…Mizu is gonna get married tonight unless we do something

Joe: I know that

Tai: Then I have to hurry

Joe: Even if you find her, how can you make her believe that she isn't Sakura and her real identity is Mizumi Kudo?

Tai: I don't care about this now, I should find her first…we are losing time by standing like this and talk

Sora opened her eyes like she had an idea: I know how we make her know that…as you know Mizu has three birth marks on her body maybe if we showed her she will realize that this body doesn't belong to her

Matt: I don't think this is gonna work, Taichi made her see herself in the mirror but she said it is Sakura not Mizu…

Sora disappointed: Ow…

Tai: I will try that too…

He looked at Renazi

Tai: Can you tell from which direction she went from her aura…?

Renazi winked amazed he is talking like Mizumi now

Tai: Look I'm not ordering you around and I won't take Mizu place here so don't worry, all what I want is to get her back, Mizumi is my girl and I won't let any other guy to lie a finger on her

Renazi saw his eyes they were so brave and detriment to get Mizumi back

Renazi: Hai…I will try to find her aura,

She disappeared

Kushiro: Hey guys I think we have little problem…when we ran after Mizu I mean Sakura…we entered the middle space field and that transfers our digimons back to the digital world

Mimi looked around her: Ow yes, Palamon isn't here

Sora: We were busy and didn't notice that

Kushiro: I talked to them they said they are ok and ready if we need anything

Tai: Now what…?

Joe: We sit and wait for Renamon

Tai: That may take long time…

Joe smiling: This is Renamon we are talking about…

Meanwhile, Renazi,

Renazi was going after that girl's aura…finally she stopped on big tree branch and looked at the village in front of her, she was shocked

Renazi: No way…it can't be this village…

She appeared five diamonds

Renazi: Go find Mizumi-sama body and inform me at once

The five diamonds disappeared, Renazi was so worried, she never went to this place but she heard a lot about it from Mizumi and from where she used to live before meeting Mizumi…

Renazi: This place…it is surrounding with killing aura…I can't let Taichi-san and the others to come here this is gonna be dangerous…

Then one of the diamonds appeared and showed her Mizumi who was sitting in front of a mirror wearing big beautiful white kimono and three girls were around her making her hair and putting some make-up for her…

Renazi worried: I should hurry up…the only thing I can do now is to kidnap her…

She shacked her head as no: No…if I do that then the villagers will come after her and I will put the rest of the kids into danger…come on Renazi think…what will Mizumi-sama do in a situation like this…? Come on…?

She closed her eyes trying to think

"I will solve this by myself even if they see me selfish, I can handle hearing them calling me selfish but I will never be able to handle it when I see one of them is getting hurt special him"

Renazi opened her eyes: Mizumi-sama…

She looked at the village again: Selfishness is ok in this kind of situation…yes…

Then she disappeared…

Three hours later,

Tai hits his knees with his hands then stood up angry: Three hours had passed and Renazi didn't show up yet

Matt: Yah I start to get worried too…this isn't like her at all to take this long time…

Sora: Hope she is ok…

Miyako: What should we do now…?

Davis stood up: Let's go find that village…sure it is nearby…

Joe stood up: No let's wait for little while…what if Renamon came back and didn't find us

Matt: Yah this is gonna be a problem too

Tai: Then you stay here and I will go find that damn village

Joe: But Taichi_

Tai: No buts Joe…I can't just sit like that and only god knows where Mizu is or what she is facing…I can't leave her alone…she is Mizumi Joe…she means the world to me…I may give her my soul if she wants it…gomen I can't sit like that any longer…

Before Tai walks something appeared and surrounded them, the all stood up and looked at it shocked, it was like a glass barrier…

Miyako: What is going on…?

Ken amazed: Diamonds…

He said that then the all disappeared…

Somewhere in unknown area,

The bubble appeared then suddenly it blew out and let them all fall down…

Joe slowly stand up and looked at his friends who also slowly standing up then he looked around him…the all stood up and start to look around them, it was night, and they saw a lot of trees but not normal trees…they are wrapped by beautiful crystals, a lot of beautiful crystal voices are heard…

Miyako smiling: Pretty

Kari: Like a crystal forest…

Mimi: Look at all these stars up

They looked at the sky

Kushiro: This is weird…I can' see the normal star groups…there are new groups…

Joe: Yah even the North Star isn't showing here…

They looked at each other

Davis: What is this place?

"The forbidden forest"

The all looked up and saw Renazi was standing in a crystal branch

Tai: Renamon…?

She disappeared and in the same moment she showed in front of them

Kushiro: Forbidden forest…?

Renazi: Yes…it's a lost forest in the space between the worlds…you have to perform the right seal to find the secret entry…

Kushiro: The right seal…?

Renazi: Which only Mizumi-sama and I know…

Mimi: You mean…this forest like a special place for Mizu and you

Miyako: This is so nice

Mimi: So great

Renazi rolled her eyes…Tai came near her

Tai: Mizu…where is Mizu…? Did you get her…?

Renazi: Yes…

Tai: But…why didn't you call us…?

Renazi looked at him: That village…

Tai noticed that Renazi is serious and she hides some fears in her eyes

Renazi: It is that village…

Tai amazed: "That village…"?

Renazi: Yes…I couldn't just call you…

Kushiro: What do you mean exactly…?

Renazi: It is the All Gods Village Mizumi-sama talked about

The all were in big shock

Joe: Are you kidding?

Renazi: Of course no…

Mimi: That freaking ghost village you mean?

Renazi: Yes…

Miyako: It is around here…?

Renazi: Yes it is but…

Kushiro: But Mizu-san said it is a ghost village no one lives there

Renazi: And this is the problem…when I went there I didn't find any living humans…all the people there were ghosts…

The all were shocked

Matt: Ghosts?

Renazi: Yes…and…that girl…Sakura…was acting so normal with these ghosts…

Kushiro: That means…Sakura had died long time ago…in the same time when the villagers died

Renazi: Yes…

Joe: How can you be so sure about it?

Renazi: Because I found her body…

They get shocked

Joe: You did?

Renazi: Yes…in the village entrance…

Joe: But how could you know that body belong to Sakura and not any other girl?

Renazi: I found small doll near that body written on it 'Sakura'…there was a crack in her skull

Joe: Skull you said?

Kushiro: Of course, according to Mizu-san…the village had been cursed 500 years ago…

Renazi: Sakura died outside the village because that her soul is lost in the forest instead of the village itself…

Sora: This is complicated

Matt: Now let me get this straight…that Sakura girl fall down and hit her head on a rock then died and in the same time the village had been cursed but instead of trapping inside the village with the other souls, her soul get lost in the forest…?

Renazi: Yes…and when her soul found a host she could break the seal and went back to the village where everything starts over again…

Tai: And now where is Mizu?

Renazi: About Mizumi-sama…we get a problem…big problem

Tai worried: Is she ok?

Renazi: Yes she is fine…I mean her body is so fine…but…

Tai: But…?

Renazi: Come I will take you to her then I will explain everything

She walked then they walked after her…they crossed the beautiful crystal trees till they reached a lake, shinning lake and there they saw a lot of crystal branches are blocking the way, Renazi made some seal in her hands then hits the ground, the branches started to movie and the gate after them opened then they entered and inside they saw Mizumi's body was laying on glass bed, Tai and Sora quickly ran to her then the rest of them

Tai: Mizumi…

She was wearing short tank top white dress…Sora looked at Renazi

Sora: Is she ok?

Renazi: Well…she is but…

Kushiro: What is the problem you mentioned?

Renazi: When I wanted to get her back…she used Mizumi-sama's power against me

They looked at her amazed

Davis: What do you mean…?

Renazi: She used the crimson rays in full power

The all shocked: WHAT?

Tai: How is that possible…?

Kushiro: How…how is that…?

Renazi: I don't know that…

Ken: You said full power…?

Renazi shacked her head as yes: 100% of the crimson power…

Kushiro: This is dangerous…

Renazi: Yes…

T.K: Then this is why your shoulder is badly injured

Kari moved closer to see her shoulder, Renazi tried to hide it by her neck furrier

Renazi: Yes…using the crimson rays in full power may destroy a complete city…but not that what worries me the most

Davis: Destroying a whole city isn't worrying you?

Renazi: She used the Sharingan against me too…

They looked at her amazed

Kushiro: No way

Tai: The…

Matt: Sharingan…?!!!

Renazi: Yes, she was using the Sharingan like she is already used about it…she was about to lock me in one of the Sharingan deadly illusions…

Davis: How could you bring her then?

Renazi: I'm a Sharingan user partner I know how to deal with it…I used a drug seal on her to bring her with me here

They saw small tall paper is sticking on her chest

Davis: What a great place to stick it

Tai: Just shut up

Renazi: The seal won't last for long time so I want you to be careful… sure you know that the crimson power isn't something to play with or take it easy…and the Sharingan as well

Joe: You are right, special that we don't know how this girl is using these powers and what she is thinking

Matt: This is Mizu body after all…

Tai noticed something then looked at Renazi: Renazi, Mizu's hands…

Renazi: The crimson rays burned her hands…

Tai opened his eyes shocked as the rest

Tai: What did you say…?

Ken: I heard about this from Mizumi-san…the crimson power can hurt her sometimes…

Renazi: Yes…this girl can't handle this kind of power and since she is already dead she doesn't care what may happen to the body…she will keep using it till she burns Mizumi-sama's body

Kari: This is horrible

Miyako: Then…taking the drug seal and making her wakes up is not good idea

Joe: I was thinking about this too

Renazi: I know and I agree with you, but the seal is for limited period of time, one hour…she may wake up anytime now

Davis: Do it again…the seal

Renazi: I can't…the more you perform the seal on a certain body the more you increase the chances to destroy its cells…

Joe: Is it real drug…?

Renazi: Well…I won't say drug but it works like it, when you perform this seal you are creating very small needles which you can't see in normal eyes…these needles will hit the nerve cells and drug them…

Joe amazed: This is dangerous…what if you miss up and one of these needles hits a fatal spot

Renazi: No one can perform this kind of seal only well practiced Shinobi…

Then they heard something they turned and saw that small tall paper is staring to vanish…when it completely vanished, Sakura slowly opened her eyes…she saw a lot of heads are staring at her…she opened her eyes shocked then stood up shouting…they stepped back amazed…but then she started to cough and some blood came out from her mouth

Miyako: You are ok…?

The girl looked at them breathing fast she felt about sharp pain in her throat

Renazi: I told you already don't shout…you injured your throat

The girl looked at Renazi…Renazi stood in front of the team ready

Renazi: Be carful…

Sakura's eyes were wet and she was ready to cry

Sakura: Why...? Why you brought me here…? What do you want…?

Her tears came down on her cheeks

Renazi: That village is no longer your village…sure you know that very well

Sakura stood up still crying and Renazi was still in her place ready

Renazi: Your village turned to ghosts' village…

Sakura wiped her tears: I can't believe this…after all these years…all what I wanted is to have my wedding ceremony like any other girl…I dream about him all the time…and…and when I had the chance to see him…he was…Mitsuki was…was…

She puts her hands on her face and sat on her knees crying…they felt sorry for her Mimi wanted to go to her but Renazi holds her back

Renazi: No, we can't trust her yet

Mimi: What are you saying Renamon…can't you see how she is broken?

Renazi kept looking at Sakura who was sitting on her knees crying

Renazi: Not yet

That girl kept crying then she raised her head looking up crying hard, her tears were like rivers on her cheeks…suddenly she started to shout

Renazi: Shimata…

She quickly performed a seal…a diamonds barrier appeared around them…it appeared in the perfect time because a lot of crimson rays started to show from Mizumi's body and hits in random directions…they hit some trees and break them into very small pieces…

Sora: Ow my god what is going on…?

Kushiro: We have to be very careful if we get hit by these rays we may end up like these trees

Mimi: No way I'm gonna die like a tree…

Renazi was trying to considerate to make this barrier last longer…a lot of crimson rays are hitting on it, she knows it won't handle all this power…

Renazi: Come on…

Suddenly one ray could break the diamonds shell and shattered it Renazi fall down breathing fast…but she quickly stood up she knows she has to protect Mizumi's friends…she jumped up

Renazi: Diamonds storm_

But before she complete her sentence a lot of rays hit her from all the direction

Tai shocked: RENAZI!!!!!

Renazi fall back fast and hits in many crystal trees and break them…Sakura looked at them still crying

Sakura: I wanna get married…

She said that then stood up the rays stopped…she just stood up…Renazi slowly stood up Tai noticed her they quickly ran to her

Renazi hardly stood up with the help of Matt and Tai

Kushiro: How…you get hit by the crimson rays

Renazi hardly talked: It wasn't in full power but…they…

She fall down on one knee

Joe: They were too much to handle…

Renazi looked at Sakura, her head was up but she was looking at them

Sakura: I…I wanna get married…I wanna wear the bride kimono…I want to have a family…I want to prepare everything for my husband…please…

Ken: You have to believe that everything is over…

Davis: You should go to where you belong…

Sakura: To…to…where I belong…?

Davis: Yes…you are already dead…accept it

Sakura's tears kept coming down on her cheeks: Dead…?

Davis: Yes…

Sakura: But…where should I go…? Where is that place that I belong too…?

Renazi: The other world

Sakura: The other world…?!

Renazi: Yes…that place is where you belong now…

Sakura lower back her head and looked at them: Fareplane…?

She slowly smiled: I may meet Mitsuki-Dono…?

Renazi: Mitsuki-Dono…?

Sakura started to walk forward toward them smiling

Sakura: Hai…will I meet him there…?

Renazi: Yes…

Sakura happily: Hontu-ka?

Renazi: Hai

Sakura now is standing in front of them crying but smiling

Sakura: Then…I will be beautiful again and be beautiful bride…?

Renazi shacked her head as yes

Sakura: Urashii…

Renazi: But you should leave this body first

Sakura smile had gone now

Sakura: Leave this body…?

Renazi: Hai

Sakura looked away: Leave this body…?

They looked at each other her tone wasn't comfortable…

Sakura: Leave it…that means…

She looked at them: No way

The all shocked Renazi didn't seemed to be shocked because she expected this
