Chapter Fourteen Hanging Out

A few hours into it Takeru looked over at the bed to see both Calilimon and Patamon had fallen asleep. Calilimon had curled up on her side at the head of the bed her wings resting upon Takeru's pillows with Patamon sound asleep in her arms. The laptop had been closed and pushed to the foot of the bed. Smiling slightly Takeru found his digital camera and took a picture of it knowing Hikari or even Kohana would also want a copy of it. He then set it down on his book shelve as he turned the room light off, but turned his desk light on as he went back to doing his homework.

Takeru glanced at the clock when he heard his mother moving around in the living room. It was a few minutes before 9 o'clock in the morning and by then Takeru had managed to finish all of his homework. He was now sitting at his desk reading a book and had been waiting for his mother to get up before he started moving about as well. He grabbed a long sleeve black shirt, a sleeveless dark green zip up sweater with a hood as well as a pair of khaki pants before heading into the bathroom to change.

When he was finished and was running a comb through his hair he glanced at his reflection in the mirror. He wasn't at all surprised to see that his eyes were beginning to look like Trace's with how little sleep he had been getting. The others had yet to say anything because they knew why he was doing it, but he had a feeling that they would sooner or later. I am going to have to chance sleeping sooner or later… I don't need to collapse on them in the middle of a battle… he thought as he set the comb down walking out of the room.

Walking over to the book shelve he grabbed his digital camera putting it in the pocket of his sweater then he went over to his desk grabbing his cell phone, wallet, keys and D-3 putting the cell phone and wallet into his back pocket, his keys into one of the hip pockets and the D-3 into a pocket that rested against his left knee. By then Patamon had awoken and as he had tried to get out from underneath Calilimon's arm he had woken her as well. The Angelic Digimon slowly sat up stretching her arms as she yawned while Patamon stretched his back much like a cat would do. Takeru looked at the two of them smiling. "Good morning you two," he said as he walked over to the bed sitting on the edge of it.

Patamon looked at him smiling as well. "Good morning Takeru!" he said happily.

Calilimon blinked a few times before speaking, "Good morning."

Takeru then left the room to go help his mother cook breakfast. When they had all eaten Takeru, Patamon and Calilimon stood in the kitchen making rice balls. There was a list sitting in front of them of the different type of rice balls they where suppose to be making since they were making it for everyone. They had decided yesterday to hang out in one of the parks and that everyone had to make a part of the lunch they would eat there. Everyone had decided to give Takeru the job of making the rice balls because of having two Digimon around instead of one believing it would be easier on him then having him make something else. After they had finished Takeru placed the rice balls into bento boxes separating them by type so they wouldn't get mixed up. He packed them into his currently empty and brand new messenger bag along with a couple of different drinks handing the bag to Calilimon who had volunteered to carry it due to Takeru's leg. The three then said good bye to Takeru's mother and headed out for the park.

Trace sat in an internet café in front of a computer with Tamon sitting in his lap. He had spent most of the night last night trying to find one that had computers that the public could use instead of one that required he bring his own that by the time he had found one it was past closing time. Which was why he was here now instead of having done what he needed last night though he wish he had been able to complete his task last night instead of having to wait until today. "How are we supposed to get to the Digital World without your key?" Tamon asked looking up at his friend.

Trace grinned digging into his pocket. "The same way everyone else gets there," he said pulling a Digivice out.

Tamon stared at it for a moment before looking up at Trace. "When did you get one of those?" he asked.

"I've had it since Luna first handed me your egg," Trace explained as he began typing at the computer to pull a digital gate up on the screen.

"Why am I only finding this out now?" Tamon questioned his eyes narrowing slightly. This entire time he had believed Trace didn't have one and didn't like the fact that he hadn't found out about it sooner. After all the Digivice was pretty important on the whole evolving thing that he had yet to do.

Trace shrugged before answering, "I figured you already knew I had one I mean a human can't really have a Digimon partner without one so I didn't think I had to show it to you. Obviously I was wrong and I apologize for not showing it to you sooner…"

"If you had one all this time, then why haven't we gone to the Digital World already?" he asked very curiously.

"There had been no reason until now to go," he answered as he held the Digivice up to the computer activating the gate and the two disappeared into it.

By the time Takeru, Patamon and Calilimon arrived at the park they were meeting the others at Hikari, Kohana, Daisuke, Miyako, Iori and their Digimon where already there Ken being the only other one yet to arrive. The three walked over to the group Calilimon setting her bag down with the others. "We were beginning to wonder what was taking so long," Miyako said as she looked at Takeru.

Takeru shrugged answering, "I can't walk to fast right now with the way my leg is injured."

Patamon flew over to Hikari landing on her shoulder. "Shall we evolve now Hikari?" he asked.

"Yes please," she answered as she pulled her camera out.

Patamon nodded flying off her shoulder landing a few feet away and evolved to Angemon. Tailmon walked a bit away from Hikari so she could evolve to Angewomon. Calilimon walked over to them and the three Digimon did as Hikari told them to as she took pictures.

"It kind of looks like Angemon and Angewomon had a kid," Kohana said watching the three Digimon and Hikari from where she sat at a picnic table her sketch book in front of her.

"It really does!" Miyako agreed as she began to laugh.

"The only problem is Calilimon's eyes are the wrong color," Takeru said as he laughed as well. He and the others had long ago agreed that Angemon and Angewomon's eye color was most likely blue after having discussed it for several hours one day after school. The entire group had been very bored at the time when Daisuke had decided to try and get Patamon to evolve into Angemon so they could attempt to remove his helmet so they could see his eye color. Patamon had of course refused but later he had admitted to Takeru that he wasn't sure if his helmet could be removed because he himself had never tried before.

Daisuke kicked his soccer ball up then bounced it off his knee before suggesting, "Maybe they adopted her then?"

Takeru laughed as he sat down at the picnic table backwards resting his back against the table part of it. He watched as Daisuke head butted the ball towards V-mon who missed and had to go chase the ball down. Iori sat down beside him and looked at Takeru. "You're still not sleeping?" he asked and Takeru nodded.

"I haven't figured out any other way to keep safe from Shaitanmon…" he answered looking at his bandage hands then at Iori who nodded.

"From what you've said Kohana there really isn't any way you can wake yourself up once you find yourself in one of his dreams right?" Iori asked looking at Kohana.

Kohana looked up from the drawing she was doing looking at the two. "There really isn't… I mean I can usually wake myself up from a nightmare, but when I tried during that nightmare I couldn't…" she answered setting her graphite pencil down.

"According to what I understand from what Trace has said technically we're no longer dreaming when Shaitanmon starts hurting us… More like a part of us is in another realm," Takeru explained not really understanding it himself. He knew he couldn't have been completely in the other realm because Patamon would have noticed him disappearing even if it was only for a few minutes. Then again Patamon was a pretty heavy sleeper only ever waking up if Takeru had woken up screaming from a nightmare. The small Digimon even slept through earthquakes!

Ken walked towards them from one of the park paths Wormmon riding on his shoulder. Upon seeing him, Daisuke kicked the ball towards him and Ken kicked it back towards him only to have V-mon snag the ball before it got to Daisuke kicking it away from his partner. Daisuke quickly chased after V-mon and the ball as V-mon began a game of soccer keep away. Ken smiled slightly shaking his head as he watched the two before walking towards the picnic table setting his bag down after pulling Takeru's D-terminal out of it. "I see Hikari has already started taking pictures," he said glancing at Hikari and the three angelic Digimon before handing Takeru his D-terminal.

"Yes she started as soon as I arrived a few minutes ago," Takeru told him taking the D-terminal and putting it in the opposite pocket of the D-3.

"We were discussing earlier how much it looked like they were a family," Miyako told him as she walked over to him kissing Ken lightly on the cheek causing him to blush lightly. The two of them had started going out during the summer. The only person it had really shocked when they had started going out was Daisuke who everyone knew could be a bit dense at times.

Ken looked over at Hikari and the three Digimon again saying, "It really does look like they're a family."

"Is she only taking pictures of them today?" Wormmon asked out of curiosity. They had gotten together a few times like this during the years so Hikari could take pictures of all the Digimon outside of battles.

"She has not said anything about wanting to take pictures of the rest of us yet, but she may change her mind," Hawkmon answered and Wormmon nodded.

Ken gently picked Wormmon off his shoulder setting the Digimon down on the grass then went to go join Daisuke and V-mon in playing with the soccer ball. Miyako walked over to Hikari to talk to her as she took the pictures. Wormmon went to join Hawkmon and Armadimon who were playing a board game. Takeru pulled his digital camera out snapping a few pictures of his friends playing. After a bit Iori went to join the Digimon at the board game and Takeru stood up stretching walking over to his bag to pull a bottle of water out of it.

Trace glanced around the Digital World hands in his pockets. As soon as the two had entered the Digital World Tamon had evolved back up to Rascmon and the colors on his fur became darker and much richer in color. "I guess now you're a real Digimon," Trace commented as he looked at his Digimon.

Rascmon looked at himself then shook much like a dog did after playing in water. "I don't feel any different," he said looking at Trace as he sat down.

"You look different not so washed out compared to some of the other Digimon anymore," Trace told him and he nodded. "Any way, we should try and find Primary Village. I got us as close as I could through the Digital Gate, but there isn't any gate that opens up right next to the village so we have some walking to do."

Rascmon looked around for a moment before following Trace who had started walking. Trace was hoping that Elecmon could answer some of the questions he had about Calilimon and Shaitanmon being the keeper of the village. There was always the chance that Calilimon and Shaitanmon's egg had hatched outside of Primary Village which meant that he would be unable to find the answers he needed. It took them about half an hour of walking before they were able to reach the colorful Primary Village. The small baby Digimon who lived there at first shied away from Trace afraid of his appearance, but when he proved he didn't mean them any harm they began bouncing up and down demanding attention from him. Trace laughed slightly as he kneeled down to pet some of them.

As for Rascmon the dog Digimon was in heaven being surrounded by so many baby Digimon. He lay down to where the baby Digimon could reach him nuzzling a few of them that came up to him. By the time Elecmon had walked over to them Rascmon had baby Digimon crawling all over him. Trace glanced over at Rascmon shaking his head a slight smile on his face before he turned his attention to Elecmon as he stood up straight. "Hello my name is Trace and I was hoping you could help me with something," Trace told him.

Elecmon looked him up and down then glanced over to Rascmon. He then turned his attention back to Trace having deemed they weren't a threat to the baby Digimon he watched over. The baby Digimon wouldn't have approached them if they were one... "How can I help?" he asked as he sat down.

"I was wondering if you remember a Digi-egg hatching about four years ago. It would have had twin Digimon come from it both of who should have had angelic features to them being vaccine Digimon," Trace questioned as he sat down as well.

Elecmon thought for a moment closing his eyes as he did so. When he opened them back up he spoke, "I remember, but only because twin Digimon are not all that common," Elecmon told him.

"Did anything seem odd about their Digi-egg before they hatched or them after they hatched?" he asked.

"Nothing was odd about the Digi-egg not a first any way something happened while I was gone to fetch food for the babies though. When I got back all the babies were hiding in the houses and it took me hours to convince them to come out. After I did I went to check on the un-hatched eggs to make sure nothing had happened to them. The only one that seemed off is the Digi-egg that you're asking about. I knew it was suppose to hatch that day I went for food in fact I expected it to hatch while I was gone, but when I came back the Digi-egg had gotten bigger, but it no longer felt like it was about to hatch but more like it had just appeared in the village. I had Kudamon check up on it, but he said nothing was wrong with it. When it finally did hatch I was surprise that it had hatched into twins," Elecmon explained.

"Why where you surprised? I mean I know twins are rare but with the Digi-egg becoming bigger and with how much experience you had with Digi-eggs shouldn't you have known it was going to hatch into twins?" Trace asked.

Elecmon shook his head and answered, "That's just it that Digi-egg was never supposed to be twins. It never showed signs that Digi-eggs show when they are going to hatch into twin Digimon. Not to mention the two Digimon that hatched out of it had several things wrong. Such as they didn't have any attacks what-so-ever until they evolved into their next stage and even then the attack was as weak as a baby Digimon. If you tried to separate the two of them at all both of them would start crying as if in tremendous amount of pain. When Kudamon looked at the two of them he told me that he'd be surprised if they lived to their child stage because the coding had been split between the two of them. He told me two Digimon couldn't live off coding that was originally meant for one."

"But they did survive," Trace stated and Elecmon nodded his head.

"Yes as long as you kept them together… One time when the two of them got separated to where only the female looking one was still within the village she nearly died on us no matter what Kudamon tried. It wasn't until the brother was brought back here by one of my friends nearly dead as well that the two of them recovered. When they evolved to their Child Stage the two left here after Kudamon warned them to never part from each other," Elecmon told him.

Then how are they surviving now with them being so far apart? Trace wondered as he sat there thinking And what happened when Shaitanmon was separated from his sister? "Why did the two of them get separated?" Trace asked.

"A random Digimon attacked the village. It doesn't happen very often now that things had calmed down so much, so when it did I wasn't prepared for it and some of the baby Digimon where taken away. Which is why I had my friends help me find them all and bring them back. All of them where fine except for the twin male like Digimon. It was because they were all fine that the attack never really made much sense to me," Elecmon answered.

Trace nodded as he looked around Primary Village. He sighed having hoped the answers would be different then what he got but there was really nothing he could do about it now. It was as he feared and there was now only one solution to this entire mess. Trace glanced at Rascmon who was still playing with the baby Digimon knowing there was no way he was going to get the dog Digimon to leave by his own choice for awhile. Trace shook his head smiling slightly as he watched Rascmon play. If Trace ever had kids he had a feeling he would have a very willing baby sitter in his Digimon.

The group sat around on a few blankets having decided to break for lunch. Angemon and Angewomon had devolved because Hikari had run out of ideas for pictures by then of the three angelic Digimon. She was now sitting beside Kohana and Miyako the three of them looking through the photo's on the camera's screen as they ate. Takeru had taken a few more pictures of everyone playing before he had joined Iori and the Digimon in the board game they had been playing. Calilimon sat with V-mon, Daisuke, Ken and Wormmon talking about soccer. By the sounds of things she was going to join them in play after everyone had finished eating. That didn't really surprise him since Digimon seemed to really like the game.

Takeru lay back on the blanket he was sitting on as he ate a rice ball looking up at the cloudy sky. According to the weather it wasn't suppose to rain today, but Takeru believed differently as he looked up at the sky. He only hoped it started after all of them had gotten home. He listened as the others talked amongst themselves as he closed his eyes for a moment…

… At least that was what he believed until he found himself walking through a forest. He mentally cursed at himself for having fallen asleep as he glanced around. The tree's of the forest were all dead and black almost as if they had been caught up in a fire, but when Takeru walked up to one to look at it the tree didn't appeared to be burned but really was black. He turned his attention to the ground as he carefully walked over exposed roots the ground reminding him of red clay. At this moment all he could hope was one of his friends would realize he had fallen asleep and try to wake him up before something bad happened.

Slowly he walked glancing up only every once in awhile as more roots began to come out of the ground the further he walked. As he walked he began to hear screaming coming from all directions and he covered his ears stopping for a moment hoping the screaming would stop. He waited for several minutes, but when the screaming didn't stop he uncovered his ears and kept walking. He looked up glancing around him wondering just what was going to happen this time only to have his foot catch on one of the exposed roots. He fell forward catching himself on his hands and the knee of his uninjured leg wincing from the impact on the burns. It had been his injured leg that had caught on the root so it was stretched out straight.

Carefully he backed up a bit too where he could bend his injured leg while keeping it from touching the ground as he pushed himself into a standing position. He leaned back against the tree as he checked to see if he had managed to twist his ankle. When it didn't hurt that badly when he rotated his foot he stepped over the root and continued on his way. While he walked Takeru wondered if it wouldn't be a better idea to just stay still instead of walking forward and to where ever Shaitanmon obviously wanted him. Would it really matter? Either I find him myself or let him hunt me down… he thought to himself as he kept his eyes to the ground determined not to trip once again.

When the screaming disappeared completely Takeru stopped moving as he glanced around him. He began to hear branches snapping behind him and Takeru turned around expecting to see Shaitanmon, but he couldn't see anything. In fact everything behind him had been covered in complete blackness he couldn't even see an outline of one of the trees. Eyes narrowing Takeru turned his attention to in front of him again as he began walking again. The further he walked forward the more branches he heard snapping behind him. When he stopped walking the sound stopped all together. Takeru then heard laughter echo all around him unable to pinpoint exactly where it was coming from.

Takeru's eyes narrowed as he leaned back against one of the trees putting his hands in his sweater vests pockets. The more he moved the worse this seemed to get. He knew from the laughing that Shaitanmon was messing around with him, but he wasn't sure what to do at this point. "You don't have to think so hard on this," Takeru heard someone say from above him and he glanced up. Sitting in one of the higher branches on the tree was a young boy around the age of eleven. His black hair was wavy just barely reaching his shoulders while his bangs fell into his eyes and on the left side of his bangs was a single green streak of color. The young boy's eyes were royal blue in color and he still had some of his baby fat in his face giving him an innocent look. He wore a black turtle neck sweater that was too big on him to where he had to roll the neck down giving it a puffy appearance and the sleeves went half a foot over his hands. The bottom of the turtle neck sweater reached almost mid thigh. He wore regular jean pants that had been ripped at the knees from playing and the legs where too long to where it collected on top of his white tennis shoes. Takeru had a feeling that if any of the female Chosen Children had seen him he would have been dubbed cute.

"Who are you?" Takeru asked as the boy jumped out of the tree landing in front of Takeru.

The boy thought a moment before answering, "My name is Lee Nicholas Star."

"Are you Trace's younger brother?" Takeru asked.

Lee grinned but it quickly vanished as he grabbed hold of Takeru's arm with both of his hands. "But you can't tell him you saw me unless absolutely necessary! If he or any of my sisters found out I did this I'd get in so much trouble!" Lee told him saying it very fast to where Takeru almost didn't understand him.

Takeru smiled and patted Lee on the head with his free arm. "I promise," Takeru told him and Lee grinned again as he let go of Takeru's arm taking hold of his hand instead tugging on it slightly as he began to walk in the same direction Takeru had originally been going. Takeru followed behind him asking, "Lee why are you here?"

Lee looked over his shoulder at Takeru as he walked. "Because I want to help you and Trace! I snatched Luna's key when she wasn't looking so I could show you and only you this!" he answered pointing ahead of them not with a finger but with a skeleton key that was a brighter green in color then what was on Takeru's D-3.

Takeru couldn't see anything ahead of them but there had to be something or Lee wouldn't be leading him like this. "Earlier you said I didn't have to think so hard on this. What did you mean?" Takeru asked.

Lee stopped turning around to face Takeru. "This isn't one of Shaitanmon's nightmares! It's a memory of Shaitanmon's from yesterday night that I found and with the help of Luna's key I'm showing it to you," he explained.

Takeru looked at Lee slightly confused. "Why would you want to show me a memory of Shaitanmon's?" he asked.

Lee gently tugged on Takeru's arm as he started walking again Takeru once again following. "To help you understand something that I don't think anyone but my two oldest sisters understand… Even after you beat Shaitanmon there isn't a guarantee that this will be over," Lee told him.

"What do you mean there is no guarantee that it'll be over after we beat Shaitanmon?" Takeru asked becoming even more confused.

"Yumimon has told you Shaitanmon has a split personality but it's more than that!" Lee tried to explain but realized it was probably more confusing. He wasn't that good at explaining things being as young as he was and having only interacted with his siblings who he never had to explain things to. "Any way you'll see when we get there!"

Takeru did have a slight understanding at what Lee was trying to get at but he kept quite letting the young boy lead him onward. It didn't take that long for the two of them to wonder into a large clearing with a black dead looking willow tree in the center. Lee let go of Takeru's hand holding the green key out in front of him. There was a small flash of light and Shaitanmon suddenly appeared and standing in front of him was a smaller Digimon about the same size as Lee with six black angelic wings. "I had to piece the two memories together to get it to look like this but that smaller Digimon is Shaitanmon's child stage known as Tsumon. He's the one that's been holding the Shaitanmon you know back from killing you until now," Lee explained turning to look at Takeru.

Takeru starred at the two Digimon then turn to look at Lee asking. "Then he wasn't playing around with us?"

Lee shook his head. "No he only acted that way so you couldn't tell something was wrong well not entirely he does see this as nothing more than one giant game… Something happened after Calilimon and Tsumon hatched. I can't find out what it was because I'm not strong enough yet, but whatever happened he ended up with two different people inside of him. They call each other Red and Lavender because of the difference in eye color. They're not really standing there it should just be Shaitanmon, but this is how the two different people remember this event happening. This is what I wanted to show you," Lee said looking at the two Digimon he pointed the key at them and there was another flash of light causing the two Digimon to start moving.

"I won't let you hurt them anymore!" Tsumon shouted a black sword appearing in his hand.

Shaitanmon laughed glaring down at the smaller Digimon. "What are you going to do destroy yourself? You know if you do that your sister will die with you!" Shaitanmon pointed out causing the smaller Digimon to hesitate.

Tusmon shook his head, but the sword vanished. "What you're doing is wrong there is no reason to kill those two!" He told Shaitanmon who just laughed again.

"Just be a good little Digimon and stay quiet. Once I kill angel boy and blondie everything will fall into place…" Shaitanmon said taking a step towards Tsumon.

Tsumon took a step back right into the willow tree. "I won't let you," Tsumon threatened his eyes narrowing.

"What are you going to do, Lavender? It took all you had left during the last battle to take back control over your own body! You refuse to destroy yourself because you fear what it would do to your sister… You are nothing Lavender! Nothing more than bits of excess data in this digital body!" Shaitanmon told him digging his claws into the willow tree next to Tsumon's head.

"If I am nothing more than excess data then why haven't you gotten rid of me yet, Red?" Tsumon asked glaring up at Shaitanmon. He had nothing to fear from him he had already proven that much as it was. Shaitanmon didn't say anything allowing time for Tsumon to think without him interfering. His eyes narrowed as he grabbed hold of Shaitanmon's arm gripping it as tightly as he could. "It's because of Kohana-chan isn't it? If I'm not here you have no connection to her which means you wouldn't be able to heal yourself anymore!" Tsumon shouted. Shaitanmon growled at Tsumon pulling Trace's key out of his pocket.

"That's enough out of you Lavender I grow bored of this!" Shaitanmon shouted and the key flashed as Tsumon vanished.

Lee held his key out again and it flashed causing Shaitanmon to vanish. He then held out with his left hand a purple skeleton key and the scenery around them began to shift. The tree's vanished and the area became lighter as the ground became covered in green grass tall enough to reach Takeru's knees and almost tall enough to reach Lee's waist. The sky turned blue as large clouds floated through it. Takeru could even see Lee's hair begin to move as well as the grass as wind began to blow. "No wonder Trace wouldn't let me into his realm…" Lee muttered as he pulled his hands into his sleeves before turning to look at Takeru. "Did you understand what you saw?" he asked tilting his head to the side.

Takeru nodded as he sat down. "What did he do to Tsumon at the end?" Takeru asked looking at Lee.

Lee walked over to Takeru sitting down beside him. "Sealed him away I think… But I'm not positive… It took a lot of energy just to get that memory from the two of them without getting myself killed," Lee explained covering his mouth with his hand as he yawned.

"Why do you guys go through so much trouble for us? I mean yes your brother does benefit from helping us because he will get his key back, but that doesn't explain why Luna or even you, Lee are helping us when you're not suppose to…" Takeru told him.

Lee smiled leaning back on his hands. "Until a year ago I didn't even knew a place like your world existed… We're forbidden to talk to our relatives about other realms unless they hold or will hold key's like us, but it was a last minute decision on my cousin's part to hand his key over to me so they never told me. My job is to guard memories whether they are human, animal, Digimon or some other type of creature I guard them all. I also have the ability to find anything that someone has lost. When my brother Trace was trying to help me adjust to the fact that I would always be seeing things through the eyes of others and most likely wouldn't experience it myself for awhile he did things for me such as coming to your world. He was always trying his hardest to cheer me up even to the point where he disobeyed Krista when she had ordered no one was to come onto your world for a year. If Trace hadn't disobeyed her for me Shaitanmon never would have gotten hold of his key…" Lee stated taking hold of Takeru's hands starring at the bandages wrapped around them.

"Things wouldn't have been this bad for you and Patamon if Trace had just listened to Krista instead of ignoring her just to fetch me some baked yams… And don't say I couldn't have known this would happen my sister who is three years older than me is the guardian of time. She had warned me the day before Trace had left not to allow him to leave but I did…" Lee said letting go of Takeru's hands standing up and turning his back to Takeru as he fought hard not to cry.

Takeru starred at Lee's back for a moment before speaking, "But without your help Lee then there wouldn't be any chance that we could save Tsumon. With your ability to find anything that is lost we'll be able to get the data from Calilimon that Patamon needs. If your brother hadn't disobeyed Krista then most likely we would still be searching for a way to save him or have decided it wasn't worth the risk that it would just be better in the long run to delete him."

Lee turned looking at Takeru smiling slightly, but it was quite evident that Lee had not been successful in keeping from crying. "I'll let you wake up now Takeru-onii-san. I can't keep a hold of Luna's key much longer without her finding out and even if I could I'm not strong enough to fight off Shaitanmon and my brother's key. All I can do now is make sure you don't forget what I showed you," Lee told him as he held Luna's key out. The area around Takeru began to shatter much like Shaitanmon's illusion had done before…

…Takeru opened his eyes to see Iori standing over him. "I was just about to wake you up," Iori told him as Takeru sat up.

"Thanks Iori," Takeru told him stretching.

Iori nodded. "Nothing bad happened?" he asked.

Takeru shook his head. "No everything was normal," Takeru told him even though he did remember what Lee had showed him. He had no clue what Krista's ability was and he was afraid that if he spoke aloud what Lee had done then she might find out which would mean breaking his promise with Lee. He did have to admit that Lee's job made a lot more sense than his older brothers did.

Takeru felt a tug on his sleeve and turned to see Patamon hold his hat out to him. "Thanks Patamon," Takeru told him putting his hat back on. He then stood up going to join Daisuke, Ken, V-mon, and Calilimon in playing with the soccer ball though he would make sure to be careful with his injured leg. At the moment he just wanted to forget what was happening and pretend for awhile that everything was okay.

A/N – I hoped you liked Lee he and his sister who guard time where literally just created. When I first created the concept of people guarding dreams and such the guardian of memories was there but he was older then Lee and he was not related to Trace or Luna. Sorry this took a bit to get up I kind of got distracted by some things. Oh I've put this entire story into one word document and counting all chapters I have including future ones it has reached over 154 pages with no double spacing and only size eleven font…. It's already longer then my original work which blows my mind I had no clue it had become this large.
