Chapter 6 – The Rescue: Last Memory

"Gah! 'Sup with all the rooms already!" Takuya barked, completely annoyed.

"I must say, this castle looked much smaller in the outside.." Izumi said.

"Uuuhhh.. It's so cold in here.." Tomoki whimpered.

"This castle is full with illusions to trick IceDevimon's enemies." Bokomon explained.

"No way! Really?" Neemon asked.

"Gn.." Kouji shrugged. He wanted to hurry to save Miyuki and tell her his feelings, but the rest of the group was slowing him down. "Damn it! They're too slow!" he thought for himself as he clenched his fists closed.

"Hey, Kouji, you ok?" Junpei asked him.

".. I'm fine.." he replied.

"Don't worry." Takuya spoke. He was looking forward but it was obvious that he was speaking to the raven-haired boy. "We'll save her!" he added.

Kouji juts looked up at Takuya and he smirked.

".. Thanks." He said to the goggle-headed boy.

Takuya was the leader, and Miyuki was a part of the group as well, and so, the goggle-headed boy would do anything he could to help his friend.

"Eh, Kouji-kun, I could really use some help with today's homework."

"Don't worry, I'll help you, Miyuki."

"I'm going to get us something to drink, wait a minute okay?"

"Sure, I'll check what type of homework is awaiting us."

"Hihi, you're funny, Kouji-kun.." the girl giggled softly towards him.

"E-Euh.." the raven-haired boy blushed.

"Hm? What's this..?" the girl asked as she removed a white sheet that was covering something big.

"Ah? That's a-" Kouji wasn't able to finish his sentence.

"It's a piano! Oh my god, my Mom finally bought me one!" the brunette appeared to have forgotten about both the homework and the drinks. She sat over the small bench that was in front of the big instrument and removed the keys' protection.

"You can play that thing?" the boy just asked.

The response was immediate. Miyuki moved her fingers softly up and down, playing a soft song to him. Kouji just sat there, listening, as he watched her play. He then thought he had never seen her look so pretty in his life, while she was playing that piano.

The group felt like they have been looking for hours already, and they were just about to do something crazy when they heard something.

"Hey, what's this sound?" Izumi asked.

"Yeah, what is it?" Junpei asked.

"It's a-" Takuya wasn't able to finish, for he was interrupted.

"Piano..!" Kouji said, freezing for a second.

"Where does it come from?" Neemon asked.

"Plus, who's playing it?" Bokomon asked.

".. Miyuki plays the piano.." Kouji replied.

The whole group froze that moment to Kouji's words.

"We gotta hurry then!" Tomoki broke the silence. "We have to find Miyuki before she stops playing, ne?" he asked.

"You're right, Tomoki! Minna, let's go!" Takuya said.

The group began to take quick steps until the sound got louder and louder, and as it was a castle made of ice –and ice is frozen water–, the sound moves itself as fast as if they were underwater. After a few jogging minutes, Kouji bounced into one last door, with the group following him, now finding what, no, whom he has been looking for for so long. By the moment he spotted Miyuki over a corner, playing the piano, he couldn't react, for a big white arm strike at the group, which made them all jump back.

"Grr! What the–?" Kouji broke his sentence as he caught a glimpse of what had hit them, and an enormous serious expression filled his eyes.

"Hum.. Pretty impressive.." IceDevimon spoke up, not presenting himself with his normal Digimon shape to them. "I never thought you human children would make it up until this far.."

"You scum! What did you do to Miyuki!?" Kouji couldn't hold his anger anymore.

"Oh-oh, I see that you're the human boy whom the little girl loves.. How cute that is?" IceDevimon teased. "And all I wanted from her was her body heat, and she sure has a lot of them."

"That's only normal because she's a human being, and humans are not like Digimon." Bokomon said. "When a Digimon returns into a Digi-Tama, its normal body heat is gone for a long time, but with a human's body heat, it will keep returning faster, over and over." He explained.

"Ooh, so it looks like I got myself the jackpot!" IceDevimon cheered.

"How could you do such a horrible thing to her?!" Izumi asked, scared.

"Yeah! You mean Digimon!" Tomoki barked.

"Izumi, Tomoki, stay behind me." Junpei said as he moved in front of them. "I'll protect you both."

Neemon stood behind Junpei's leg with his dummy-like face.

"Cool!" the yellow Digimon said.

But Kouji was still serious and Takuya noticed that as he moved a few steps forward, closer to his friend.

"You go and get Miyuki.." he coached. "I'll keep him busy.." Takuya was making sure he wouldn't speak too loud, so that IceDevimon couldn't hear him. "I think I'm able to hold him long enough to give you time to get her." he explained.

Kouji nodded his head.

".. Got it.. Thanks.." he said in a low ton of voice as well.

"What are you two chatting about in there?" IceDevimon asked as he took a few steps closer to the two warriors.

Just what they were expecting.

".. This!" Takuya jumped in holding his Digivice. "Execute! Spirit Evolution!!" he shouted.

"Ah?" IceDevimon stepped back. "What's this all about!?" he asked, more like yelling at the air.
