Tak: chapter 10! I feel so proud of myself. When I was first thinking of writing this fiction it didn't have nearly as many chapters as it does, but I'mm glad about that. I really do love to write this story, it's so much fun and I get to mess with Takky and Kouji so much and of course the others as well.
Bgato: Kai-chan going to be here, Kai-chan going to be here.
Tak: Yep. Kai imoto-chan.

Chapter 10

What lies from the future

We find two boys alone in the forest rolling around with each other and laughing.

"Oh Kouji that feels so good do it again." said the brunette who was pinned down by the other boy.

"What ever you say, your wish is my conman." said the bluenette who was called Kouji as he licked the same spot on the other's neck.

"You know what?" the brunette said as he lifted his hands to run though the blue black locks.

"What?" asked Kouji.

"I like you hair down better." and with that he pulled out the hair tie so it all fell down his shoulders and on to the bare chest of one below him

"Just as I like yours without that hat." said Kouji as he touched the brown hair that was normally covered.

"You know Kouji when I first met you I though you were just a cold hearted loner who pushed others away because you didn't want to be with any one. Because you thought that if you let any one close to you then they would just leave you as well. But your not, you just didn't want to lose any one." said the brunette as he pinned Kouji under him and started to suck on the pale flesh.

"And when I meet you I thought you were a blockheaded idiot that just did these things because he though he could get away with them. But now I realize that you did every thing to try and keep the others safe. Because you didn't want them to have to try any thing that would hurt them." said Kouji softly as he flipped them so that he was now pinning the other.

"Well now we've got all the talking stuff out of the way let me help with that little problem you have." said the brunette as he moved a hand further down Kouji body, at which point Kouji sat bolt upright in bed breathing heavily.

"What is wrong with me?" asked Kouji as he held his head in his hands and as he did his fingers didn't meet the long blue locks which the other had lovingly stroked but short red spikes which he had send the better part of a week trying to tame.

"I need a cold shower right now." said Kouji as he stood up. This was when he noticed that he was still in the same state as he was in his dreams.

"A really cold shower" muttered Kouji as he headed for the bathroom.

Halfway though his shower some one knocked on the bathroom door.

"Hey Davis that's you in there again isn't it? You've been in there every morning for the past week! You just better not be using up all the hot water." shouted June.

"Don't worry I'm not." was his reply and then June left for her room again.

A few hours later June was just about to bang the on the door and demand that Davis got out other wise she was going to bust. But before she got to start banging, Kouji stepped out, a towel around his waist and his normal smirk pasted on his face.

"Some thing wrong onee-san." asked Kouji.

"I hate you" said June as she slammed the door in his face.

"Well I hate you as well, and unlike you I can mean it." said Kouji as he went back to his room to change.

"Chibimon am going out if you want to join me get in the pack." said Kouji getting dressed.

"Am I aloud to voice myself on this matter?" asked Chibimon.

"What did I tell you about opening your mouth?" asked Kouji putting on his top.

"Don't open my mouth unless it's to put in food." reply Chibimon.

"Good, now what do you think the answer to your last question is?" asked Kouji pulling on the gloves. He didn't ask about the bandages but knew that Davis didn't want them to be seen. Why else would the guy have been wearing his gloves to bed

"I'll just shut up and get in the bag." was the reply.

"Kouji, you look awful what happened?" asked Ken.

"Well thanks for stating the obvious, but why should I tell you?" said Kouji moody as ever. But Kouji and Ken had meet again if only to pass the time by Kouji bitching about stuff and Ken listening.

"If you tell me I might be able to help." said Ken trying to help as always. He didn't want Davis to come back to all of the problems that Kouji has left behind.

"I've become an insomnia if you must know." snapped Kouji.

"How?" asked Ken. Davis was one of the soundest sleepers he had ever met. How could Kouji change that so easily

"Well it might have some thing to do with the vast quantity of sugar that this body needs other wise it can't do any thing; the fact that no matter what I do I always feel like am forgetting some thing; plus add to that, the fact that even if I do drop off to sleep these damn dreams are driving me insane!" Kouji was not in the best of moods. The lack of sleep was making him even more short tempted then normal and very snappy.

"What sort of dream?" asked Ken now interested.

"Its not right, I shouldn't be having theses sorts of dreams about him. I barely meet him for a minute. I don't even know his name! Why won't they leave me alone? Of course I'd become an insomniac if every time I close my eyes I see his stupid face." Kouji was ratting to himself but Ken was picking up on the important stuff.

"I used to have some pretty weird dreams, and it was because I didn't know him. That meant it was probably the reason why I used him. Because if you don't know them then you can put a face on all the things you want to happen without the fear that soon they'll stop or do some thing else you don't like." Ken tried to explain. Dreams were still the unknown front and no one really knew what they meant. He also left out the fact that in these dream some one was normally chained to a wall.

"I only meant him for less then a minute and I already hate him. Why would I want him to do that sort of thing to me?" asked Kouji as some of the things that he had been doing flashed though his mind.

"Dreams don't always mean what you think they might mean on the surface. If you dream about tying somebody up it might just mean that you don't want them to leave. I once had a dream where I was watching my whole life from the sideline and when I saw the person who was meant to be me, it turned out it wasn't. It was my brother, which was when I realised that I wasn't living my life as me. I was living it as brother." Ken explained.

"Yea, but dreaming that you are your brother doesn't mean that you have to have a cold shower every morning. It's getting so bad I'm sure there's going to be a water shortage soon." Kouji snapped.

"Well as they always say when life's not going their way; Life's a bitch, just live with it." said Ken.

"Well for me I have always lived by 'Life's a bitch and then you die.'" replied Kouji getting up and walking off. Ken followed only in case Kouji tried to get in a fight with someone. He needed to be there to stop him from doing any harm to Davis's form or his image.

"This is just not fair! You think that if they can make a digivice to turn a human in to a digimon, then they could make it waterproof. I'm sure that my D3 went throw the washing machine and it still worked. Plus there was that time that Tai and the others were in the ocean until Whamon picked them up and theirs stilled worked! So why in bloody hell won't this thing work!?" Davis was shouting to high heaven to any one who would listen to him about the how unfair the world was.

The fight between Kazemon and Ranamon wasn't going that well for the good side. But after not too long, the fight evened out. The end looked to be insight when Kazemon was trapped in a prison of water, but then suddenly Ranamon let it down and dived in to the deep water. But the peace was short lived as a few moments later a hideous digimon came out of the water with a voice like nails down a chalkboard, and a body like left over squad bits.

"So what do you think?" asked the mon, but every one was still to shocked by how ugly she was.

"I can see by your faces that you just need a bit of convincing, or maybe you just need a closer look at Calmaramon." said the new Calmaramon as she used her large tentacles to walk up onto the land, knocking tress over as she went.

When it looked that she was going to get to the others, Kazemon flew in and gave the others some time to get away. But this left her in just the right place to be knocked down by a huge tentacle.

"Ta-ta honey." said Calmaramon as she prepared to do her Titanic Tempest. But after she had started the attack, she spun out of control and flew away proving that it's not just the digidestined that couldn't control their beast sprits.

"Er...guys? What happened to the Toucanmon?" asked Zoë after she had turned back to her human form.

"Ah rats I forgot all about them!" said JP.

"Those feathered fan-boys still have are d-tectors." added Takuya.

"The way those guys walked, I don't think they got Far." said Davis looking at the tracks.

"Well lets go get them then." said Takuya as he started to run off. And so the search was on for the Toucanmon. But not matter where anyone looked, none of them could be found.

"Ah who are we kidding we couldn't find the even if they jumped up and bit us on the nose." said Takuya when he couldn't find any thing.

"Hey Zoë hand me your d-tector a moment will you?" asked Davis.

"Why do you want it? You still have yours." Zoë asked back.

"Because mines not working. Plus I can't hear the sprits any more and that means I can't talk to them. So I need yours to see if I can find a tracker on it to see where the other d-tectors are." said Davis.

"Just be careful ok? Without that we're all helpless." said Zoë handing it over. After a few moment of random button pressed it was handed back.

"Nope doesn't seem to want to work."

"Its no use we never find them!" said JP.

"Lets just take a break" said Takuya, lying down on a bench.

"Isn't that what got us in to this problems in the first place?" asked Davis, trying to shake any water he could out of the d-tector.

"Just shut it, Davis." said Takuya pulling an arm over his eyes to block out the sun.

"Hey don't worry about it. I bet you find your d-tectors really soon." said Zoë as she put a hand on JP shoulder.

"Huh, what were you saying Z?" asked JP.

"Hey JP weren't you thinking about you d-tector?" asked Zoë.

"Well I was wondering if you be like that." said JP.

"Huh? Be like what?" asked Zoë.

"Like calmaramon." muttered JP.

"Calmaramon? Where?" asked Takuya sitting up.

"I was just wondering if you be scary like that. You know, when you got your beast sprits and all that." asked JP sounds really thoughtful.

"Stop that! I can't believe you guys would think some thing like that! I'm nothing like her!" shouted Zoë getting mad.

"Hes not saying your evil or any thing. It's just that beast sprits are hard to control." said Takuya, trying to calm her down.

'Even more so if they hate you.' thought Davis.

"Yes. Remember what happened with Takuya?" Bokomon brought up.

"I'll always be a cool and beautiful girl digimon. That I know." said Zoë proudly.

"But how?" asked Tommy.

"Cause I'm a girl and girls know how to handle power when they need to." said Zoë in that 'I can take on the world' tone.

"Hey! It's the Toucanmon!" said Takuya, looking up at the sky.

"Ill take them from the air. You guys follow in the water" as she took out her d-tector and takuya started to run out into the ocean.

"I'll stay here in case they come back. Plus I think my d-tector has had enough water for the time being." said Davis watching them go.

But not to far out Takuya fell over and when he looked back to see what he had tripped over it turned out to be a Gomamon.

"What the heck is that?" asked Takuya, looking at the seal like digimon that had a hold of his leg.

"That's Gomamon." said Gomamon.

"Whoever you are, let go of my foot ok?" asked Takuya, pulling it free.

"Sorry but we had to stop you guys." said the Gomamon as more appeared out of the water.

"Yea hi. What are these things any way?" asked Takuya.

"Well that's an easy one. These are Gomamon. A seal-like digimon who loves the water but can easily walk on land. Their attack is Marching Fishes." said Davis, which as always made Bokomon a bit miffed that Davis told them before he could.

"How cute." said Zoë as she picked one up and started hugging it.

"Yea girls are tough." said JP mockingly after he saw this.

"We wouldn't be good friends if we let you go out there. The water looks all calm and cuddly, but really it's very dangerous." said a Gomamon.

"What do you mean by dangerous?" asked Takuya.

"Look at all that foam by the island. It's caused by whirlpools."

"Whirlpools!?" asked Takuya shocked.

"Don't worry, we're safe here. But if you get too close they'll suck you in and never spit you out. And even if you did get passed them, you get slammed into the cliffs that surround the only beach you can land on." said another Gomamon.

"We know all about it cause we used to live there." said another.

"So is there some kind of secret way to get there?" asked Takuya.

"No. I wish their was." said the Gomamon sadly.

"You can't get home?" asked Zoë.

"That's right. Everything used to be so wonderful here. Then one day when we went out to play and get some food there was a huge earthquake. That's when the whirlpools started. We were cut off from our Island and we haven't been able to get home since." finished the Gomamon, sounding like he was going to cry.

"Am guess that the earthquake started when the destruction of the digiworld began. It seems there are none that Cerubimon's evil touch hasn't hurt." explained Bokomon.

"So what your saying is that there's no way to get across safely?" asked Davis.

"What we need to do is find a flying digimon who could give us a lift." said JP.

"Oh Zoë. Can I talk to you for a moment?" asked Davis innocently.

"Forget it. Don't even think about it. I am not your digital taxi. Find another way to get across!" shouted Zoë.

"Well looking for flying digimon is too much work. Anyway let's just move on to something else." said JP, going off with the others.

"Well that two more logs." said Takuya dragging them out.

"This would be so much easier if we could digivole or if we had some digimon with a sharp attack." muttered Davis, hacking another tree down with a kitchen knife.

"JP what you doing?" asked Takuya as he walked past with another log.

"I'm drawing a plan. Every great boat needs a plan." said JP.

"And that only take a year or so to build." said Takuya, looking at the drawing in the sand.

"Yea and as we don't have the time for that, let me give you the plans for a perfect raft that was handed down to me by the last digi-sea explores that will get us all there in one piece. Even if it doesn't." said Davis and he to started to draw some thing as well.

"And what happens if some thing does go wrong?" asked takuya.

"Pray to god that Whamon is in the area and that he gives us a lift." said Davis simply.

And not too long afterwards, every one was off on the raft.

"I can't believe you built this without even looking at my plan." said JP looking upset.

"This is great." replied Zoë with the wind in her hair.

Every moment on the water brought them closer and closer to the whirlpools.

"Oh wow the Gomamon was right. This is bad." said Takuya, looking at the whirlpools. And then out of nowhere came a tidal wave!

'Oh no. This is what got Tai's group in the first place!' thought Davis, holding on for dear life.

'Yes we made it' thought Davis when they came out of it in one piece. But then Renamon appeared.

"Hey there kiddy pies" said Renamon.

"Oh man" muttered JP.

"Now what do we do?" asked takuya.

"Well if ya have any last wishes, now would be the time to say them." mocked Renamon.

"Don't do it Zoë. Remember? You were no match for her last time." said JP as Zoë stood up.

"Just figure out how to stop the whirlpools while I keep her busy." said Zoë as she spirit evolved.

The battle got under way with a good kick-start, but because they were over the ocean Renamon had a bit of an advantage. After a pretty powerful attack, Zoë was knocked into one of the whirlpools.

"Oh no Zoë!" said takuya after seeing she was hit.

"Zoë!!!" shouted JP when she was sucked in to the whirlpools.

"Zoë come back!" shouted JP just about to jump over.

"No JP!" said Davis holding him back.

"Takuya look! The whirlpools are going away!" Tommy pointed out.

"Now how in the world did that happen?" asked Renamon, when a geyser of water shout out of the sea straight up to where she was.

"Oh my! Could it be?" asked Bokomon as the water started to fall away

"It could." replied takuya.

"Its Zoë!" said a happy JP.

"Yes I'm back and I brought a little friend." said Zoë, holding out her d-tector.

"Execute! Beast sprit evolution!"

"Zephyrmon!"

"Who is that?" asked Takuya, his eyes up the new digimon.

"That is Zephyrmon, behold the legendary warrior of wind." said Bokomon.

"Oh my. Why you're pretty. Your best spirit made you pretty. Well it's not much prettier then me, that not even possible. But just cause you are prettier then me doesn't mean anything. Do you have adoring fans all over the world who worship you? I don't think so." ranted Renamon.

"You know for a legendary warrior of water you sure do give of a lot of hot air," said Zoë, speaking for the first time in her beast spirit.

"That does it! Your going down sugar! Now how should I defeat you?" Renamon looking closely at Zephyrmon.

"Dark Vapour! Ya in for it now girly. That Vapour will melt though anything. Have your feathers started mottling yet? Wait a minute! How come your not melting!?" asked Renamon when it was clear that the attack wasn't working.

"I think its time you learned a little respect." said Zoë as her clawed hands started to glow.

"Plasma pods!" shouted Zoë as she started an attack and knocked Renamon off her water column.

"She's controlling her beast spirit." said takuya, sounding shocked.

"She's amazing isn't she JP?" asked Tommy.

"JP?" Tommy called again when he didn't get an answer the first time.

"Boy howdy." said JP, staring at Zoë as if he had fallen in love again which he probably had. At this point Renamon decided to stop playing around and slide evolved to Calmaramon.

"Now let the party begin." said Calmaramon.

"Zoë get away!" called JP

"You won't be so pretty when I get though with you sweetheart!" said Calmaramon.

Then the fight was on. After one blocked attack a huge piece of rock was melted away.

"That's what's going to happened to your friends." said Calmaramon as she turned on the legendary warriors.

"Ready boys?" That was all the warning they got before an attack was aimed their way, but lucky it was Zoë to the rescue and she destroyed the attack before it could get to them. But she was then caught in a tentacle.

"This is awful." said Takuya.

"We can't do any thing." said Tommy.

"Stop it! Let her go you scum queen" shouted Davis.

"Yea you ugly fish head!" added JP.

"What did you say?" Calmaramon shouted back, at which point JP tried to hide behind the mast.

"You heard him!" Davis shouted.

"If we called her names and distract her then it will give Zephyrmon time to get away," he then said softly to takuya.

"Ok..." muttered Takuya, sounding like he didn't like the idea.

"Hey you slime dateless wonder!" Takuya started.

"You big coward!" Tommy added, and pretty soon there were all doing it. And as expected, because she got so angry at them she let Zephyrmon go free.

The battle was going a lot better for the good side after Zephyrmon escaped, but Calmaramon was on her last straw so she tried to do her titanic tempest attack on Zephyrmon. But once again she couldn't control it and started to spin away from them

"Oh am going to enjoy this." said Zephyrmon, watching her attack go wrong again.

"What was that?" asked Takuya confused.

"I guess someone can't control there beast sprit. Now let's get everyone back to that island." said Zephyrmon as she helped the raft get to the beach.

Matt was just about to head out for a meeting with his favourite someone, when another person nearly fell in to him. He looked very beat up and was bleeding in several places.

"Help, some one please help me! Oh Matt it's you. Thank god I found you." said the boy who had fallen on him, who turned out for now to be Kouji.

"What the hell happened to you Kouji?" asked Matt, worried. If it had been a digimon attack, he wasn't ready to help.

"Kari been taken by the darkness causing TK to go insane. He attacked me and now the darkness has convinced him that you're the cause of all his troubles." said Kouji as he paused to take a breath Matt butted in.

"So then I should go find him and sort this out." said Matt.

"No you can't!" said Kouji, standing in front of him.

"Why not?" asked Matt, starting to get mad.

"Because if you go after him now your be killed!" shouted Kouji.

"How do you know!?" shouted Matt. Kouji knew nothing about what it was like to have a brother in danger and here he was stopping him going to his

"Because it's already happened before!" shouted Kouji.

"What?" asked Matt, now confused.

"I know that this is how you're going to be killed. The child of friendship was killed off by hope, so please don't go. You're to important to be lost." Kouji said again, looking away

"What do you mean important?" asked Matt.

"In the future your music brings harmony between the worlds and bring meaningful conversions with all internet creatures in the universe." said Kouji seriously.

"But how do you know this if I wasn't there to do it?" asked Matt, not sure if he believed Kouji now or not.

"Because your brother gives up his own destiny to try and complete yours and by doing so we get to see what should have happened but didn't." explained Kouji.

"But if that true then I can't run away. What about Tai does he know?" asked Matt.

"Of course he knows he's already gone to get Kari. And when she is returned every thing will go back to normal but until then you have to hide otherwise your going to die and a lot of people will be affected by it, not just your brother." said Kouji with his eyes wide nearly in tears.

"Well that it. If Tai's involved I don't care what happens to me if he's in danger." said Matt as he was about to run off, but Kouji caught his by the wrist.

"You don't need to worry about your brown haired boyfriend. He'll be fine and back with Kari in a few hours." said Kouji reassuringly.

"What! How did you know about me and Tai?" asked Matt, going bright red.

"Oh, please! Everyone knows that when no one's looking you're at it like rabbits." said Kouji very simply.

"Well ok if that's how it's all going to work out. What can I do to stop it from happening?" asked Matt.

"How does any digidestined find another when they need to? Through their digivice. But because he is also your brother he will try a lot of other things that even am not sure about." said Kouji carefully.

"So are you going to tell me if there's a way to stop it? Or are you just telling me in advance so I know how am going to die?" asked a pissed of Matt.

"Of course there is! Everything you do in the present changes what the future holds for you." said Kouji, giving a small smile.

"So then what is it!?" asked Matt, losing his temper.

"Simply hand over all the things you have on you and go home for a few hours. After Tai has returned with Kari and TK has calmed down. I'll call by with your things and life can go on for the better." reply Kouji.

"Fine. Here you go. It's not like me and Tai can't make it up later." said Matt, dropping the items in to Kouji hands.

"You know if it does turn out that we're related, it wouldn't be so bad after all." said Matt as he turned back around and headed back to his apartment.

"You never know. The future has a lot of unknown events." said Kouji as a goodbye.

"See ya Kouji!" and with that Matt was away, at which point Kouji looked at what the boy-wonder rock star carried around. First off were the normal digidestined items: digivice and d- terminal. Then the personal items such as a comb, hair gel, large amount of cash, Mobile phone, plus come guitar picks.

"Come on out. I know your there." said Kouji as he turned around and looked at a spot not to far away from where Ken appeared.

"Ok come on now. I let you have your fun. Now it's time to go back and get all those cuts and injuries seen to." said Ken as he walked up and touched one of the large cut on Dai's cheek.

"I've had worse." said Kouji, knocking the hand away.

"I don't care if you've had worse! I wont let you just batter Davis' body when he's away!" said Ken as he grabbed Kouji's wrist and started to drag him away for first aid treatment.

"Looks like you're starting to get a backbone." muttered Kouji.

"Zip it you. Just because I'm no longer evil doesn't mean I can't be strong and stand up for what I believe in. Anyway, you're always going on about how you don't want Davis to be wrecking your body so be polite and do the same for him." snapped Ken still pulling Kouji along.

"Ok. We made it though the forest and according to Bokomon, the autumn leaf fair is just on the other side of all this snow. So how're we going to get it up to speed until we're going fast enough for the wind to push us on it's own?" Davis asked out loud as he tried to come to the answers.

"What we really need is a large digimon to pull us." said Takuya, thinking of something.

"One on all fours for better balance." said JP, coming to the same idea as Takuya.

"With long claws to get a good grip on the ground." added Tommy.

"With something…say, on their shoulder to stop the harness from sliding back." said Zoë, who knew exactly which digimon the others were thinking of.

"Yea that sounds great." said Davis, but then after thinking about it for a moment he realized what the others had been thinking.

"Hey what minute! I'm no body's sled dog! And in case you haven't noticed, this d-tector is not working!" shouted Davis.

"Oh yea, I forgot about that." muttered Takuya.

"Never mind that now let just get Zoë to do one of her wind attacks and be on our way" replied Davis.

The travelling was going well. Nothing had tried to attack them. Nothing had gotten in the way. And no one was complaining.

"How much longer is this going to take? I'm so cold my fingers are going numb." Well, nearly no one was complaining.

"I don't know Zoë, but hopefully it will be soon." said Takuya, trying to keep the peace.

"You know Davis, a real gentlemen would give up his coat for a lady." said Zoë, using the same soft voice she normally used to get some thing from JP.

"Well I'm not a gentlemen and you aren't no lady." Davis said just as coldly as the weather outside and zipped up the jacket as a final point that he was not going to give it to her.

"AHCOO!!"

"Fine take it. It's not like we can afford to let you get sick. You're the only one that can fight after all. But don't think this means I like you or anything." said Davis as he took off his jacket and handed it over.

"Well now, we're here let's split up and look for them." said Takuya and that's just what they did.

Tommy was now back on the frozen wasteland looking for some thing to trade for the d-tectors but when he got to the top of the hill he found the Toucanmon, and started to run after them. After a bit of clashing the ice broke under the Toucanmon and they fell into a pool of water dropping the things they were carrying.

"This is the thing you traded for our d-tectors? Well am taking it." said Tommy picking it up and leaving.

But being the good person he was, he went back and helped the Toucanmon out of the water. But as soon as they were saved they ran off with the item again. Tommy chased after them for a bit but then a voice broke the silence of the wasteland.

"WILL YOU GET OFF MY TAIL"

Looking around for the voice, Tommy couldn't find anyone who could have said it. Until the mound of snow he had stepped on opened hazel brown eyes and then stood up so you could see that she was a small nine tailed fox.

"Oh sorry little digimon. I didn't see you there." said Tommy, still not moving his foot, at which point the digimon went to try and bite off Tommy's leg, but he moved it just in time.

"What did you do that for"? asked Tommy, sounding like he was going to start crying.

"You didn't seem to be moving your foot and it was hurting my poor little tail." said the little fox, lifting it up to nestle in with the other eight.

"Well sorry again little fox, but now I have to go back to my friends." said Tommy and ran back to the others.

"What? How dare he run off without offering to look after me until its better or pet me for a real apology. I better follow him and see what I can get out of him." muttered the little fox and followed Tommy.

When he got back to the fair, Takuya, Davis, Bokomon, and Neemon were waiting for him. But when he finally got to them all he did was break down in tears.

"Tommy what's the matter? Come on, tell us." asked Takuya, but all Tommy did was keep crying. Then Petaldramon began attacking.

"Oh no Petaldramon. What do we do?" asked Davis.

"I think for now we grab something and try and save everyone." said Takuya, grabbing a pipe.

"I thought you were going to say some thing like that." said Davis, grabbing a piece of wood.

"I couldn't find anything to trade and I tried so hard." said Tommy softly as he helped Datamon.

"You did just fine kid. You ever heard the saying 'truth is the greatest treasure'?" asked Datamon.

"No." replied Tommy.

"Go on now, take it." said Datamon, holding out his d-tector.

"I thought you were just making up a story because you wanted them so much. But you truly deserve to have them." finished Datamon.

"Thanks datamon." said Tommy, taking it.

"But don't tell anyone I've gone soft, ok?" asked Datamon.

Tommy was shaking his d-tector and listening to something rattle around inside it.

"It's not broken." started Datamon, seeing the look on Tommy face.

"But I did add some thing" he continued.

"I like what." asked Tommy.

"The thing you won in that game is really yours after all." explained Datamon.

After looking at the screen Tommy knew what the something was.

"My beast spirit! Your awesome Datamon!" said Tommy happily.

"Execute! Beast sprit evolution!"

And then, just when it seemed that Takuya and Davis were about to be eaten by the beast of wood, KoriKakumon saved them by pulling him away.

"Oh, you're really going to regret that." said Petaldramon.

'Please I really need your help. I know am not meant to be here and your not destined to be with me, and this seems like a great time for me to split away and for Kouji to return, but he's not and if I don't help fight now, then Kouji might not have a body to come back to. Please help me I want to protect my new friends. I need protect them. I need to protect myself. So please of great sprits of light, come back to me so I can protect my new friends and the whole digiworld all over again.' Davis was holding the d-tector between the palms of his hands, silently praying for it to start working again. The little fox, which had followed Tommy from the wasteland, was the only one to see the golden glow in his hands.

'Please if my background as the child of miracles mean anything, please let this digivice start working again!' begged Davis again, and this time he got an answer.

'("Fear not young one, for we have returned.")' was the almost human sounding reply of Lobomon.

"('Guys your back!')" said Davis never more glad to be hearing voices in his head.

'("Less yakking more hacking.")' came the unmistakable growl of Kendogarurumon.

At about then was the time when Datamon threw Takuya his d-tector to help Tommy fight. So both Agunimon and Lobomon joined the fight again Petaldramon.

And through the combined powers of KoriKakumon, Lobomon, and Agnimon, Petaldramon was defeated for another day.

"So Tommy, who's your new friend?" asked Takuya after everyone had regrouped back at the fair.

"She's not my friend, she's been following me since I stood on her tail back in the snow fields." said Tommy.

"Oh she's so cute!!" squealed Zoë as she pick up and fox and started to hug it.

'Lucky fox. Why can't Zoë hug me like that?' thought JP, becoming jealous.

"Well I don't how many digimon follow you around, I'm just glad I got my sprits back." said Takuya, holding his d-tector close to his chest.

"Well you know what they say about looks." said Davis, mentally promising to keep an eye on her until she was deemed safe.

"This is Kaikyuukimon. She's a small kitsume, but a prime example of the fact that size doesn't matter. Easy to please but also easy to anger. A mix of both fire and light, this is one little digimon you do not want to mess with." explained Bokomon after looking her up in the book.

"Just call me Kai." said Kaikyuukimon.

"So Kai, what were you doing in the middle of nowhere any way?" asked Davis.

'I can't really say that my whole clan was killed off and I was trying to find the evil warriors so I could fight them and that the only reason I followed the kid was to get revenge.' thought Kai as she looked at the one who had asked.

"I was looking for a miracle." said Kai softly.

"What!?" asked Davis surprised.

"I hear that Seraphimon was on the move and everyone knows that when you have hope, a miracle is not far behind." said Kai as she really looked at the boy. Then she realized something.

"Looks like I found you then, doesn't it?" said Kai as she curled around his ankles.

"How do you know?" asked Davis again.

"Cause I can see it in your aura. It's golden, just like your beloved sun." said Kai, giving a foxy smile.

"What are you talking about? How can Davis be a miracle? He's not even meant to be here." said Takuya.

"What? You mean you don't know!?" reply Kai.

"Know what?" Takuya asked back.

"He is the only child of miracles, who saved kindness from the darkness. He'd been living for so long in the shadow of another, and lead a group of many who hated him for being, and survived an attack by the Ultimate evil." said Kai in the same tone as Bokomon used to tell them about the ten legendary warriors.

"You're a smart little fox to know all this stuff then." said Davis, scratching back her ears, which cause her to purr.

"Is someone going to explained what is going on here?" asked Takuya very confused.

"Maybe later Takuya. For now we have to head off to the Rose Morning Star." said Davis, walking off with Kai following.
