Digital Differences

By Zakuya Kanbara

Chapter 4: The Surprise

Sora Kanbara walked right up the police officer in charge and pointed her finger in his nose.

"My son is in there. Let me through."

"Listen lady, I don't know how you got that kind of idea but your kid's with the other students. Trust me," the officer said lazily pointing to the crowd of teachers just a few yards away, "Why don't you just-"

Sora looked up at the officer with steely crimson eyes. She had her hair down for once and it floated past her shoulders. It was shockingly red. Redder than it had been when she was a child. Her hair and eyes along with her red business suit made her seem like the spawn of Hell.

"Listen to me," she said angrily, enunciating every word with her ferocious visage, "My son is in there, and you will let me through before I beat your sorry-"

"Sora?"

Sora stood still, facing the officer, the words caught in her throat. When she turned she saw someone who she hadn't seen in twelve years, who she thought she'd ever, see again.

The woman was shorter than herself with short brown hair to her shoulders and kind brown eyes. She was also with a girl that seemed to be around Takuya's age. She was wearing a black hat, a black long-sleeved shirt with a blue T-shirt with a smiley face on it, and a blue skirt. Her hair was very long and as brown as Takuya's.

"It is you?" The woman smiled.

Sora reached toward her hesitantly, "Kari?"

Just then someone screamed at the top of their lungs, "HELP!"

Zoe's breath caught in her lungs.

Everyone that had been standing by the school stopped and listened. Sora, who had been crying in to Kari's shoulder looked up at the building in horror and Takuya's distraught teacher burst in to tears again.

"We need to get in there now!" JP shouted, not caring who heard.

The others nodded in agreement but they knew that even if they did get in there was no guarantee that they would be any help.

Zoe stared up at the school and wished fervently that she was Kazemon again. If she was she could just fly up, grab Takuya and get out without any trouble at all. She stared down at the remains of her D-Tector in her hands, her cell phone. It was useless but she normally felt stronger when she held it. Now though it just made her feel weaker. Reminding her of what she couldn't do.

The girl that was with the woman started to argue with the police officer," You have to let me in there. You don't understand my sister is in there and my cousin. You have to let me in."

Zoe started to approach the girl and said," Hey why you saying that your sister and cousin are in there to the police officer?"

"I am doing that because this guy will not face the fact that two other people are in there. I know, because I checked twice and they are not in the group of students. My name is Margret Takashi I need your help; I need someone to get me in there to help me save them that is what I was screaming at the police officer."

"My name is Zoe; this is Koji, JP, Tommy, and Kouichi."

"Who are they? Your cousin and sister I mean." Koji asked.

"They are MJ Takaishi and Takuya Kamiya." She said.

"WHAT!" everyone exclaimed.

"Isn't it Takuya Kanbara not Kamiya?" Kouichi asked.

"Well my cousins' family has a lot of problems so they had to change their last name, under special circumstances."

"Change their last name, how so?" Zoe asked.

"That I can't tell you, only he can when he is ready to. All I can tell you a lot of people died or disappeared in his family. MJ and me are part of it, again under special circumstances MJ hasn't met Takuya yet. They were supposed to meet in school today."

Before anybody else could say anything else the school doors burst open and a girl came staggering out dragging another kid behind her.

When she finally reached the front steps she collapsed, leaving the kid on the top step and resting her head in her hands until the firemen rushed her and carried her to an ambulance.

The boy on the steps was loaded in to the second ambulance but the paramedics were more careful with him, gently placing him on the stretcher and strapping an oxygen mask to his head. The boy was covered in soot from head to toe but Zoe would have recognized him if he was wearing a wig and covered in make-up.

"Takuya!" she yelled, running toward the ambulance. Sora was already there, pushing paramedics out of the way shouting, "That's my son!"

Zoe ran until the ambulance doors were slammed closed and then she stood as it sped down the street sirens blaring, carrying Takuya further and further away.

"Mom that was MJ and Takuya and the paramedics are taking them to the hospital!" Margret said to her mom.

"I'll get the van ready." Her mom said.

"Do you guys want to come with me? There is more than enough room in the van and you all seem really concerned about my cousin." Margret said, "Taku-Itoko might not admit it, but he is always happy to be around people who actually care about him, so please come."

They all traded worried glances but in the end Tommy was the one to respond, "Ok we'll go."

In the car

"Honey why don't you call your friends, tell them to meet us at the hospital. I'm shore they would be worried about MJ. Sora can you call Takeru and tell him the same thing."

"Ok." Sora replied.

"Yes, Hello TK this is Sora and you are never going to guess what just happened at MJ's school…"

"Do you guys mind if I call my friends?"

"Ohh not at all." Zoe said politely.

Margret pulled out her phone and stated to call every one. "Hello Mr. Izumi this is Margret may I speak with Morgan. Thank you."

Margret waited for a while but then someone responded "Hello Margret what's the matter."

"There is no time for an explanation, but MJ is in the hospital meet me and the others then in about thirty minutes and bring Jonathan."

"Alright be right there."

Margret hung up and started to dial again. "Hello Mrs. Ichijouji may I please speak with James. Thank you."

"Hello?"

"James, you and Katie have to meet me at the hospital in about thirty minutes. There has been an accident with MJ's school."

"Alright. See you there. Katie…"

She hung up again and started to dial another phone number. "Hello Mr. Kido may I speak with Tricia. Thank you."

"What's up?"

"Hey Tricia, meet me at the hospital in thirty minutes. An accident has occurred."

"Be right there. Should I bring Fern, she is here with me? "

"Yea, bring her too. Ok bye. Alright mom that's everyone."

"You shore have a lot of friends. How did you all meet?" JP asked

"Well that is a secret that me and my friend keep to ourselves. We really don't like it when people ask us that sort of question." Margret said.

"See what you did JP now she feels bad!" Zoe growled.

"Well what do you think that she was going to say that they all met in the digital worl-?" before JP could finish what he was saying Zoe put her hand no his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but did your friend their just say Digital World? You guys know about the Digi World."

"Know about it. Heck we were trapped there for some time." Tommy said.

"Well then it is safe to say that I have been in the Digital World too, me and all of my friends." Margret explained. "Just how old are you?"

"Well, I am twelve along with Koji and Kouichi. JP is thirteen and Tommy is ten." Zoe Said.

"I'm eleven. Since you are all digidestined then they can come out. You guys can come out these people in the car know about digimon." When Margret said that, two little digimon came out. One of them was creamed colored and it had a little coaler that was yellow and had a lot of strange markings on it. The other one was a digimon that the Warriors were really familiar with. "Guys meet Salomon, she is my partner digimon. And this is Patamon, MJ's partner digimon."

"She is so cute." Zoe exclaimed. "And I haven't seen a Patamon in a really long time."

"Margret and the rest of you guys we are here." Ms. Takaishi said.

Will Margret like what she sees in the hospital? What about Takuya? You will just have to keep watching Digimon Digital Monsters.
