Chapter 10

Major Separation

You walked alongside Zoe. You noticed she was more worried than you were. You were worried about her. You elbowed her and she turned to look at you.

You smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as the others have their detectors, they'll be fine."

Zoe smiled and nodded.

She said, "Your right! Why am I fussing? They'll be fine until we find them."

Then you saw a piece of Takuya's jacket on a branch.

You ran to it and said, "Zoe! Is this Takuya's jacket?"

Zoe ran to you and looked at it. She nodded. You somehow pieced what had happened.

Thought of what happened

Takuya was swirling through the sky until bam he landed hanging from the tree. He wriggled until his jacket tore and he fell to the ground, got up and ran off.

End of thought

You looked ahead and saw footprints. You and Zoe followed them and then noticed the footprints were separated more for a run and bigger footprints.

You turned to Zoe and said, "Takuya ran into trouble here."

Zoe gasped and asked, "When did you get so good at finding clues?"

You shrugged your shoulders and answered, "I don't know? But we have to find Takuya! He's in a lot of trouble!"

Zoe and the digimon nodded. They ran behind you as you followed the footprints. They stopped outside a cave. You walked inside really slowly with the others following.

You said, "Takuya? You in here?"

Then suddenly a stick flew out of no where making you dodge and grab your swords. Then Takuya ran out of the distance. He ran behind you and a huge digimon appeared and saw that the footprints were the same from outside. You gasped at it's size. The digimon bent down to grab you. You sliced at it's hand making it jump back. It started whining. You some how felt sorry for it.

You walked towards it and asked, "What were you chasing Takuya for?"

It mumbled, "I just wanted some friends! Friends!"

You patted it's hand and said, "Just try being yourself and not make people be your friends but let them get to know you."

It nodded. Then it turned and left.

Takuya and Zoe came to you and said, "That was amazing!"

You just shrugged and walked outside. Zoe and Takuya looked at each other. You had really matured!

You somehow read their mind and said, "I'm going to have to be more amazing if I'm going to beat Lucemon."

They nodded and suddenly another digimon called Trainermon appeared.

He bowed and said, "I would be happy to train the girl who will beat Lucemon."

You nodded and said to Takuya and Zoe, "Take care! I'm going to be here at this point training to beat Lucemon. Find the others and continue on the quest."

They shook their heads and said, "But…"

You yelled, "Your destiny is to beat other digimon and scan their code, mine is to beat Lucemon, and I can't do that unless I train with Trainermon. Understand?"

They nodded and went off to find the others. You watched them leave. Trainermon patted your arm as your head hung low. You knew this was the only way yet your heart felt torn in some way. You were feeling massive pain in your heart as the symptom of heart ache. You looked at the ground with tears starting to form in your eyes. You turned and walked inside the cave with your partner for life, Haromon. You sat down by the wall and watched Trainermon light a fire. You knew you didn't need to learn that, you had to become stronger. You needed to control both light and darkness like Lucemon to be able to beat him. You sighed and laid down gradually going to sleep.

Zoe's view

You walked with Takuya, both feeling the same thing, hurt and betrayal by Lacus.

Takuya said, "I wonder, was it something we did that caused her to leave. Maybe she still hasn't forgiven us about before. Yeah, that's got to be it!"

You shook your head and said, "I think it's because you remember what Parrotmon said, "You will get stronger with more training." It's because of that. She wants to be at her best to do her part because it's the hardest yet she's so young."

Takuya said, "I also think it's because she likes one of us boys more than a friend. She wants to be strong so she can protect that certain someone. Personally, I think it's Kouji. Haven't you seen her staring at him for long periods of time and when he looks at her she turns away."

You struggled to remember. You nodded a bit surprised that you did not really notice. You looked down and saw footprints that looked too big for Tommy's but too small for JP's. You knew it was either Kouji or Kouichi, and they wouldn't be too happy with the news. You followed the footprints and saw Kouichi staring at a tree as if he was lost.

You ran to him yelling, "Kouichi! We found you!"

Kouichi turned and gasped.

He ran yelling, "Kouji's nearby and so's Tommy and JP."

You stopped at him and he looked confused. You looked back and realised why.

You answered, "Lacus is back further training with Trainermon. She says she's not coming with us. She's training so she can get stronger to beat Lucemon."

Kouichi said, "Well, after we find the other three let's go back to her."

You shook your head, "She says she's going to stay there until she's strong enough to beat Lucemon and then she'll come but only when we face Lucemon."

Kouichi looked shocked. He didn't know what to say. He was obviously heart broken too and hurt like Takuya and you were.

He said, "Kouji will be taking this the hardest. I can sense it. He likes her, Not just like, love-like. I'm not sure when this happened. But he does."

You looked at Takuya and said, "We think that Lacus likes Kouji too."

Kouichi said, "Maybe if we get Kouji and Lacus alone, he might be able to talk some sense into her."

You nodded with Takuya and went with the two boys to find the others but you didn't have to walk very far. One step and JP and Tommy ran out of a bush and straight to you and the others. You only had to find Kouji but again, not very far.

Another step and Kouji ran out of a bush saying to someone hidden, "I told you, leave me alone. I will not marry you!"

Then a female digimon walked out trying to grab Kouji.

He ran seeing the others and yelled, "This digimon is trying to marry me. It's annoying! You got to help me!"

You and the others stepped in front of a bewildered Kouji and digivolved. You digivolved into Zephyrmon. The digimon looked at you and turned bright red with anger. She charged at you and knocked you down to the ground. She grabbed her knife and aimed it at your head. Suddenly a sword sliced the knife away making the digimon jump away from you. She and you looked to see a teenage girl with long pink hair and sort of the same outfit that you were wearing.
