7. The day we met

[FLASHBACK

"oh, I'm so sorry!" the read-heded girl went down on her knees and started collecting all the fallen books.
the boy started helping her.
"don't worry about it, it's not a first time I bump into someone who's on the way out of the school library." he handed her a notebook and they both stood up.
"oh..." she blushed "well, I'm sorry again..."
"where were you... er..." the girl's eyes almost hypnotized him and he couldn't concentrate. "where were you running to?" he put a hand on him forhead and closed his eyes.
"math's class. do you have a headache?" she asked curiously, not noticing how the books were about to fall again.
"no, no. I'm okay."
"wait a sec... aren't you Kouji Minamoto?" the girl's eyes widened.
"hm? yeh, that's me." the boy looked at her with surprise. "how'd you know?"
"I've seen you in the..." the bell rang and Kouji didn't hear the rest of the sentance.
"oh, no!" she screamed, noticing the clock. "I'm late!!"
the girl ran down the corridor and shouted:
"it was nice to see you, Kouji! by the way, I'm Yoma!"
and she disappeared around the corner.

[END FLASHBACK

it was two nights after the attack of the Flymon. Takuya was better, but now they couldn't travel because of the non-stop rain. all the kids were really bored all the time, and the time was passing mostly with memories from the last time they were in the digital world. of course, with avoiding the depressing moments.

"hey! pssst! Kouji! wake up!"
"mmff..." he slowly opened his eyes only to see Yoma, bending over, with her face hardly a few centimeters away from his. Kouji blushed and hissed:
"get off me!"
"I am off you!" whispered the girl and rose. Kouji sat. she was on his left, down on her knees.
"what do you want?!" muttered the boy angrily.
" be quiet, or you'll wake the others! that's your turn now, remember?!" she whipered back and stood up. "move it!"
"why didn't you wake my brother, since you two are so close" hissed Kouji, stood up as well and went to the opening of the cave.
"what did you say?" Yoma was getting angry.
"never mind." he looked outside. "did the rain stop at any point?"
"no."
Kouji muttered something and then said:
"goodnight, Yoma."
" 'night."

[FLASHBACK

"So... you say Kouji met a girl who was in the digital world?"asked Takuya.
"For the third time, Takuya, yes, he did." Responded Kouichi. "how many times are you going to ask me?"
"It's just so weird! How come we didn't even see her there?!" Zoe still looked shocked.
"Ask him, not me."
"Where are they anyway?" JP looked around.
The cafй they were waiting in was right next to the park.
"Yeah, it's already past 3 o'clock..." muttered Tommy.
"hey, guys!"
"finally!"
Kouji ran towards them, followed by the red-headed girl.
"glad you didn't forget to come." Sneered Takuya.
"sorry, it was my fault. I had a job with my brother." The girl said, while catching her breath.
"anyway. Guys, that's Yoma. She's in my school." Smiled Kouji.
"nice to meet you." The moment Kouichi shook her hand, a strange feeling took over him. The feeling that this is not the first time he meets the girl...

after everybody knew her, they sat down.
"what can I do for you, kids?" a young waitress stood in front of thetable, ready to write down.
"well... lemonade for all?" asked Takuya. the rest nodded. he turned to the woman: "seven lemonades please."
"right" she wrote down and went to another table.
"so, tell me, Yoma... do you have a D-tector?" asked Zoe.
"yeah... you can say so." answered the girl.
"what do you mean?" JP looked at her curiously.
"well... I've never used it before, I'm not even sure I know how."
"wait... you still have it?!" asked Tommy, amazed.
"sure, why?"
"ours turned back into cellphones." muttered Kouji.
"oh."
"your lemonades, kids. and the check."

[END FLASHBACK

"wake up!" shouted Zoe.
"hn?"
"mmmfff... whasit?" muttered Takuya and slightly opened his eyes. the rest started moving as well.
"the rain stopped!" shouted the blonde girl happily.
"what? really?" Kouichi sat and looked outside. Zoe was right. the sun was shining and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. the remaining water on the ground and plants was reflecting the sunlight.
"thank God! it was about time!" Yoma stood up and stretched her arms, yawning.
the others slowly stood up as well. the only one who seemed grumpy was Kouji.
"what's wrong, brother?" asked Kouichi carefully.
"nothing." the answered, putting his bandanna.
"c'mon, buddy, cheer up!" Takuya slapped his back. "we're finally gonna move! I'm getting sick of this forest."
"yeah."
"how are we gonna get down this cliff?" asked Tommy, who was already out of the cave and and looked down.
"easy! we're gonna spirit evolve!" smiled JP.
"just for going down there?" Yoma raised her eyebrow.
"do you have any other suggestions?" muttered Kouji.
"no. but I think it's pretty stupid to..." she stopped talking and turned towards the forest.
"what is ti?" asked Zoe.
"I thought I heard something. maybe it's the Flymon."
"that's even a better reason to evolve!" shouted JP.
"I'm not sure, though..."
"Brown Stingers!" the sting fell right next to Yoma. she made a few steps back.
"what do you think of my idea now?!" asked JP.

"Atomic Inferno!" The cannons on Aldamon's hands released thousands of rocketing fireball missiles at a few Flymon. "Beowulfmon, cover up the others!" he shouted at his friend.
"but..."
"no 'but's! I have business with those guys anyway!! Solar Wind Destroyer!!"
The fireball hit three of the Flymon. they fell down and their fractal code appeared.
"Cleansing Light!" Beowulfmon fired missiles and a laser at a few other insects, trying to sneak up from behind the group.
"we don't have a choice but to get down somehow!" shouted Aldemon.
"I think I see a way down! it's..." started Yoma, but was cut by one of the Flymon, who used the moment when no one noticed him:
"Poison Powder!" the dust fell over the girl and she started caughing. then passed out and fell on the ground.
"Yoma!" shouted Kouichi. she had gone further from the grounp and by the time he got there, the Flymon had got her in his legs.
the rest of the insects, seeing how they got accomplished their mission, stopped fighting and followed their leader.

'don't just stand there, do something!!' thought Bewolfmon, but couldn't move. then he sighed and de-evolved.

Takuya de-evolved as well and stared at the faraway spots.
"I guess the only thing we could do right now is to get to that castle." he said. Kouji stood beside him.
"yeah."
"hey, that's the path she was talking about!" said Zoe and pointed at a way through the solid rocks.
JP looked down it.
"looks safe." he muttered.
"right. let's go."
"and let's hurry." added Tommy.

"Lady Elfmon?"
"it had better be good news, Gotsumon."
"it is, m'lady. we got her. I mean, they got her."
"finally." the woman smirked.

"Someone must've taken them."
"are you looking for this?"
