Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story but the idea.

A/N: Sorry for not updating soon you guys but I only seem to want to write in the middle of night and my brain has been spitting out ideas for multiple endings. Ah, the struggles of a writer.

xXx Koh xXx

Opening my eyes the first thing I noticed was that: for one I wasn't in my room. Whatever I'm laying on is not my bed. And there were other, smaller, bodies on top of me. Blinking several times to allow my eyes to adjust I then looked around to find that I indeed was in the living room and that the digimon were all piled up around me. Assessing my situation I realized that I couldn't move without waking at least one, if not all of them.

"Well, fuck, isn't this going to be challenging?" I hissed trying to move my arm. Freeing it, I moved Lunamon so that she was lying more comfortably beside Gaomon. Then I proceeded to try and pry Patamon off of my other arm. Thankfully I was able to without disturbing his sleep. Sitting up I found all of the other digimon scattered around the room. Maneuvering around them I made my way to my bathroom to shower and brush my teeth.

After finishing I went back out to check on the digimon. Surprisingly they were still asleep. Checking the clock on my digivice the glowing red numbers read: 10:48 AM. Normally the latest any of us slept was till ten. But taking into account that they had one hell of a training session yesterday and that we all got home and had a movie marathon they deserved to sleep in, even if just for a bit.

"So it looks like you decided to wake up." a familiar feline voice spoke.

"I don't even remember falling asleep Gatomon. But besides that, why didn't you wake us?"

"It seemed like you were all pretty comfortable and in a deep enough sleep. Why? Did you sleep wrong?

"Nah, just wonderin'. Is there anything to eat?"

"Go ask Phascomon, I thought I saw him in the kitchen."

"Oh so he's back?"

"Mmhmm, just came in less than an hour ago."

"Alright then, I'm off to find some food."

In the kitchen I found the other Navidigimon munching on some digimon food. "Good Morning Koh." he said through the chewing.

"Morning." upon inspecting the fridge, I decided that something simple was what I needed, since I was in no mood to try and make somthing requiring more than the minimal effort needed to sustain me. Plucking a couple of eggs out of the fridge I closed the door and went to grab a frying pan. I placed it on the stove and waited for it to heat up. I heard shuffling in the next room so I assumed that the rest of the digimon had woken up. "I think I might need more eggs." Phascomon simply laughed and went to put his dish away.

"If you'd like Koh I can help with breakfast."

"That would be great."

"It's the least I can do since you've already so much for us." he smiled and went to get the rest of the eggs. With that we set about in making breakfast for the rest of the digimon.

xXx Sayo xXx

I woke to the sound of the door closing and kept still as I waited for them to leave, but instead the person approched my bed. The sound of their steps grew closer and I could only conclude that they were coming to see if I was awake. I could sense them right in front of me and held my breath and kept my eyes closed, willing whoever it was to go away.

"Sayo?" the soft voice belonged to none other than Wizardmon. "Sayo, a-are you awake?" shifting slightly I opened my eyes to the digimon. Sitting up I nodded and sighed.

"I'm up. I suppose you let me sleep in longer than I really should have." however I made no attempt to get off the bed and instead played with the sheets a little longer. "Wizardmon? If it's not too much trouble can you take me back to the garden today?" when no response came I looked at him to find that he was staring at the ground. "Wizardmon? Was it-"

"N-no it wasn't something y-you said. I'll go and d-draw you a bath f-first." just before he left I reached out for his gloved hand.

"Wait! You know, if you want to you can drop the act. You can stop pretending to be so meek when I can see that you're not. I-I want to know why you're here, you don't belong here I can see that quite clearly. And I know that I don't belong here, and it's not because I'm human. So please Wizardmon tell me, why? Why am I here? You know far too much to about whatever this is." I let go just as he started to move again. He said nothing and I continued to stare at him.

"After your bath and breakfast, we can sneak to the garden again if you'd like." even with his mouth covered I could easily imagine him smiling underneath. After blinking a couple times I nodded and got off the bed as he drew a bath. Going through my wardrobe I found a simple black and white dress with lavender accents. There was a white sash around the waist complete with little flowers. Pulling a pair of flat-footed shoes I took them with me into the bathroom, where the bath was now finished. Wizardmon left me by myself as he went to get the food.

Stripping off my nightclothes I immersed myself in the water and began my daily washing.

Exiting the bathroom I found Wizardmon waiting for my with the tray of food. The silence as I ate was to say the least uncomfortable. I wanted to talk but something said that I should wait until we were in the garden. And nothing would come out anyways. All he did was watch me from his seat across from my own. As soon as I finished he went to grab the tray and headed for the door. I shot up just as he reached the door.

"Wait! Aren't we-"

"I'll be back, do not fret. I must simply put the tray away. As soon as I do we'll go to the garden, please wait for me here." I quietly sat down a nodded. When the door closed my mind drifted back to yesterday, to the dream. It had been odd, yet very comforting. It was like the memories were from a forgotten life, a life not so long ago. I'd like to find out more if Wizardmon is willing to help me. Looking around I noticed that some of the flowers are dying and frowned.

The door opened soon after and Wizardmon reappeared, "Shall we go?"

Picking up one of the vases I nodded. "I'd like to pick fresh flowers since these are almost completely wilted." he nodded and produced a pair of shears.

"I tend to the gardens as well, please allow me." I smiled and began walking through the numerous hallways to the garden. As we passed other digimons I could almost feel the uneasiness roll off of him.

"Wizardmon? Is something the matter?"

"N-nothing M-miss Sayo." the stutter and soft voice returned, I was surprised but this was to be expected though. I merely continued walking, appearances are everything after all. Drawing attention to ourselves would be quite a problem.

Once we passed through the garden doors I went to the rose bushes brushing my hand over a few of them I searched for one that wasn't all that perfect. "Which ones would you like for me to clip?"

"Hmm, just give me a moment I want one that has some flaws."

"Flaws? Why?"

"I think it looks better, I'm tired of perfection it's too boring. If something is perfect it doesn't stand out, there's nothing all that special about it. Everything here in the castle in even in my room is so meticulously kept, too pristine, I want some sort of contrast. Ah, here is a good one." the outer petals were slightly torn, giving it a rough look. "I'd like this one Wizardmon, and any other ones you can find. I'm not all that picky today."

"Very well then." he began clipping a few roses form vearious bushes and arranged them in the vase as I stared at the sky.

"Wizardmon? If we reside in Shadow Abyss, then how can there be such a beautiful sky?"

"I myself do not know, maybe it is a secret. But if it is I don't care, I don't think I could really live in a world without a sky." with that be both lapsed into a silence until he stood up and presented me with the vase. Turning around he clipped one of the white roses and held it out. "White roses are said to represent purity and virtue. I know it isn't my place but I would like to make a request of you."

Stunned I gently took the rose from him and nodded. "Sure, what is it?"

"I would like it if you could promise me that no matter what, you will never lose the sincerity in your heart. That you will never sink into the darkness, and you will never give in. Please keep true to yourself and your heart. You know what is right and wrong, even if you don't think so, do not let the darkness and chaos sway you."

"Wizardmon..."

"We can talk more inside the garden, shall we go?"

Nodding I placed the rose in my hair and began walking back to that place. "Wizardmon," turning I smiled at him, "You didn't have to ask that of me. But nonetheless you did, and I will promise you that." something flickered behind his eyes and I could tell that he was pleased with my answer.

As soon as we reached the area I sat down and motioned for him to sit too. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath and relaxed before opening them, Wizardmon sat right in front of me with and outstretched hand. Gently taking it I nodded. "I'm ready."

"This time shouldn't be as bad. Your body won't take such a heavy toll this time, since you've already been exposed. I have no control over what you'll see so please brace yourself. I'll take you out once you've seen enough, but if you want to come back anytime before then squeeze my hand. I'll be right here. Are you ready?"

"I am, please go ahead and begin."

"Very well." I closed my eyes and got ready for the pain. "Magic Game."

Those were the last words I heard before everything was drowned out by the white. I could tell that I was still in the garden but it felt like I was floating in space, until memories and images rushed forth and engulfed me.

xXx Koh xXx

With breakfast over and the dishes cleaned I logged on my PC to find an e-mail waiting.

Strange, my digivice didn't display this new e-mail.

It was from Chief Glare requesting that I be in the Union Room in exactly ten minutes.

Aw fucking hell.

Bolting out of my chair I ran past everyone and gave a hasty explanation before landing on the warp pad.

The second I felt all of the data disappear I ran as fast as my legs could take me to the Union Room. Passing by numerous faces they all made way for me, this was starting to really become a bad habit of mine. But I'll work on it later, I just needed to be on time. Entering the Union Room I stopped to take in a lung full of air before looking up. My eyes promptly became the size of plates and my mouth hung open, because right in front of me stood the members of the DATS team.

And if they were here to aid us, then it's safe to say that everything has just been thrown out the window.

A/N: Ahhh sorry it wasn't longer but just because it's summer doesn't mean my school isn't trying to get some work out of me. But anyways! Another chapter on Sayo, things are going to start to get interesting soon and I hope to update with another chapter within the next month to make up for the long wait. I know that I'm just uploading this now at the end of summer so please forgive me!

BUT! I have one question, anyone have a preference on how this story should end? I've been noting all of the different endings that I could make happen, but I'm just curious as to how you guys want this story to end. Suggestions are welcomed~

Love,

Dragon
