Why Me?: Chapter 29.


DigiLoveReader: I was quite... flattered with your comments, I was a little taken aback at you being 'My Biggest Fan', but it's all good! I'm sorry, and I don't mean to offend you, but I feel very uncomfortable giving out my email, and besides that, Fan Fiction Dot Net makes you write anything with at 'DotCom' the way I wrote it earlier, so I didn't get your email. If I do contact you, it will be by PMing, as I don't like to email people I'm not overly knowledgable about. No offence!

3Luna21: You're welcome to read the fic, I'm thinking it, as well as my 'Ice Over An Angelic Heart(LuceMoki)' can bunch of new series that will look into the possibilities of the characters lives after this story, although they'll probably have absolutely nothing to do with eachother ^^'' I'm glad you were okay with the break, but truth is, I get nervous when I leave my stories alone without writing anything for more than a few hours. I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so, It's amoung many other things that I get obsessed about.

PuppyLoveSisters: Poor Lizzie-chan, She okay? I'm feeling better, but I would've liked some OJ, lol. I got Root Beer instead, so I guess I'm not complaining. I'm completely flattered that you all read this! Do you find it too personal if I ask for the age group? Just as in the Youngest age and the oldest age, I don't need names, it's just for reference, you know?

Celestial Writer: Sorry, only two right this time, but it's still something. I've been realizing that I've been basing these off the characters where I'm putting them in future chapters. I'm so sorry! My mind got completely carried away with that, plus I won't put so many quotes. I'm currently working on a Kouichi oneshot, so as soon as I'm done, I'll be back to working on here and yours! I'm really sorry the chapter was so short, I wanted to get it out before my Mama confined me to my computerless room.

BNKYB711: It does suck, I hack my lungs out a lot and it hurts to breathe, but we always gotta look on the brightside, right? I got this chapter out! Happy Valentines Day to you to, I really like Valentines, but good luck even if you don't! And I'm glad you loved it!

Yuki's Little Girl: I'm better than yesterday! I'm still hacking up crazy stuff, but I'm all good! Here's the next one!


Lopmon: Kia?

Kia: Hmm?

Lopmon: Why'd you run away to Cherubimon?

Kia: Well, you see, there's this thing called a 'strike' that you really need to compare it to.

Kouji: You ran away so you could ask for more money.

Kia: No! Unfair treatment!

Kouji: Whatever.

Kia: What's your problem?

Zoe: He's just jealous.

Kouji: Of what?

Zoe: Of Takuya.

Kia: I have no participation in this. I know where it's going.

Kouji: Why would I be jealous of that hot-head?

Kia: Oh no.

Zoe: He kissed Kia first.

Kouji: What the hell!!

Kia: I don't own Digimon.


It's going to start being just one or two quotes each chapter.

"Oh simple thing, where have you gone?" Somewhere Only We Know - Keane. Kouji.

"So tell me when, you're gunna let me in, I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin." Somewhere Only We Know - Keane. Takuya.

"Truth be told, I miss you. And truth be told, I'm lying. When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell." Gives You Hell - The All-American Rejects. Kia.

These are three answers to last chapters quotes.

Kouji's POV
--

The sun was coming up now, as I walked through a small village. It was similar to the Gotsumon Village we had been stuck in a couple days ago. I looked at the sky, hoping to see something besides green and brown. I gave up after a while, the sun blazing into my eyes, so instead I looked at the ground. There were some flowers growing along the edge of the road, but I ignored them as I continued walking.

After a while, I heard quick breaths, and I looked behind me to see Terriermon, Lopmon and Labramon following me, looking completely wasted. I felt bad, like I had overworked my own dog at home. I sighed, walking to the side of the road and leaning against a tree.

"Thank you, Kouji." Lopmon said, tiredly. I just sighed and closed my eyes.

Kia's POV
--

"This is my brand new day starting now I let go the things that weigh me down And rob me of the beauty that's to be found."

I listened quietly, humming along to the beat. My mp3 player was in my rght hand, headphones where the should be-- On my head, and I was dancing around with my eyes closed. Sometimes I'd catch myself singing, but then I'd look around to make sure no one was watching and I'd go back to humming.

"In life all around This is my prayer without ceasing the negative releasing And as I rise above my burden is easing."

It helped me to feel better, it was a positive song, after all. It helped me smile for a bit. I looked around as I found my mouth moving, no one on my left or right, but when I looked behind me, Ranamon was there. I just skipped away from her, no big deal. And I kept singing.

"I bring the pure flow, like water around The rocks of life won't pull me down I bring the pure flow, drink so deep The river of life, my soul at ease."

I twirled around, smiling happily before beginning the second part of the chorus.

"I bring the pure flow, like water around The rocks of life won't pull me down I bring the pure flow, rising above the storms of life To live and love."

All of a sudden I felt a tug on my headphone wires. They were pulled off my head and my mp3 player was pulled out of my hand. I didn't see why, but I turned as I fell into a greenish light with a giant splash. At first I panicked, trying to get to the surface quickly, but soon I felt myself being pushed up and above the water by a highly-pressured stream of water coming from the bottom of the pond.

The water flow was constant, and now that I had air, I coughed up the pond water I had inhaled a couple seconds ago. I sat up on the tendril of water, looking around. I saw Ranamon on the ground, holding my mp3 player and headphones in one hand, and her other hand looked like it was controlling the water I was sitting on. The water tendril put me down on the ground, next to Ranamon, before dissolving itself back into the pond it had come from.

I sighed. I wasn't too fond of being soaked, unless I was in a bath or a pool or I was swimming.

"Thanks." I said half-heartedly, holding my hand out for my mp3 player. She dropped it into my hand, making sure we didn't touch in the slightest. I quickly walked away, questioning how there was a pond in here, anyways. I mean, seriously. You could hardly tell there was a ground, besides that you were walking on it. The mists made it too hard to see any floor or the walls, unless you squinted.

If you looked really hard, you could see the walls of the cavern we were in. To be honest, I hadn't known we were in a cave. I chuckled to myself and went back to my place in the song as I put my headphones back on. I got tired of the cheer easily now, after my encounter with Ranamon.

"All this weeping in the air Who can tell where it will fall?
Through floating forests in the air 'Cross the rolling open sea Blow a kiss, I run through air Leave the past, find nowhere Floating forests in the air Clowns all around you."

I sang, not skipping or anything, just walking.

"Clowns that only let you know Where you let your senses go Clowns all around you It's a cross I need to bear All this black and cruel despair This is an emergency Don't you hide your eyes from me Open them and see me now."

It felt like the song was talking about me. All my friends never really tried to 'see' me, I was always 'invisible' to them, just a piece of background.

"Can you see me now?
Can you see me now? Can you see?
Can you see?
See me here in the air Not holding on to anywhere But holding on so beware I have secrets I won't share."

As the song went on, it felt even more true, and I started to cry.

"See me here pushing you If I then deny I do Contemplate or wish away If I ask you not to stay Clowns that only let you know Where you let your senses go Clowns all around you It's a cross I need to bear."

I had to deal with it, deal with not having them trying to see me. Even if I want them to see me, to look at me here, I really couldn't. I wondered what was happening with them.

"All this black and cruel despair This is an emergency Don't you hide your eyes from me Open them and see me now."

The song finished, and I was a ways away from anyone else. I felt completely awful now, so I went to a new song. I was singing along, and if anyone gave a damn, I didn't. I started off slow and quietly, but it didn't last long when I saw Cherubimon.

At first I pretended not to see him, but my mp3 player was ripped out of my ears by Mercurimon, who had apparently seen everything. Mercurimon the bowed to Cherubimon, and I did the same. He then draped my headphones on my neck.

"Have you been avoiding me?" Cherubimon asked.

"No." I said. 'It's slightly difficult when the other can appear from nowhere.' I thought, gritting my teeth together. Cherubimon laughed as if he had heard my thoughts.

"How has Crescemon been doing?" Cherubimon turned his attention to Mercurimon.

"She has been coming along fine, although Milady Fair and our Mistress of the Depths have yet to work together to control thyselves enough to be of any use. They have both discovered that they each exist within Lady Crescemon, and they must work together." Mercurimon explained. I huffed, it wasn't needed.

'Who says I plan to work with her again?' I thought, walking away. Once I had put sufficient distance between them and myself, I just sat down.

I closed my eyes before laying down completely, letting the stress flow away, out from my toes, fingers and all the pores of my skin. I felt myself become a little lighter, mentally, and I sighed. I had to deal with them all.

"I shouldn't've run away, I should've stayed." I said quietly. 'If this is a cave, it must have an exit.' I thought. I stood up and started running.

After about four hours of searching, I saw a bit of yellow light. I ran a little closer to see pink and blue light with it. I ran towards it with renewed ambition. I was breathing heavily as I reached the cave mouth, looking behind me.

My eyes widened as I saw Grumblemon staring at me. I looked down as I heard him scoff, there was what looked to be cliffs galore there, so I turned to try and climb down backwards.

Grumblemon grabbed my upper arm, pulling me up again. Grumblemon let me hang there for a second, before swinging me up and flinging me back into the back of the cave. I took that as a sign they didn't want me to leave.

Zoe's POV
--

It really sucked now, Kia had left, Kouji had gone to find her on his own. It was no use, she was gone. I never thought we'd be alone, really. I had actually started thinking we should all split up, until Tommy had asked that we all stay together so he wouldn't get any more worried. I sighed, which seemed to show how everybody was feeling right now.

I kept shifting my eyes towards Takuya, but he just looked away. He seemed to be really quiet lately. He was probably thinking about her.

I hated to admit it, but I definately was jealous of Kia. I didn't really care, as long as she kept her greedy little paws off Takuya. I'd never say it to her face though, I mean, that would ruin any chance of us being able to be friends.

"Hey Z, I was wondering if maybe after we save the Digi-World, if you'd want to hang out later?" JP asked. I honestly wasn't paying attention, so I just shrugged him off.

"Not right now, JP, I'm thinking." I replied. Maybe I could ask out Takuya? That might take his mind off her, but I don't know if I have enough nerves to.

"Okay." Jp said, falling back as we walked. We all continued walking for a good hour before coming to Kouji, sleeping with Labramon, Lopmon and Terriermon against a tree.


I'm feeling better, I couldn't update for the past week because I've been stuck in my room the past few days. My Mama forced me to have a shower, even though I kept telling her I could do it on my own, but I kinda collapsed when she left. So I got her to come back and help me. So if anybody got mad that I wasn't updating, I couldn't even shower on my own, making it a little hard to climb down the stairs and sit at the computer long enough to type enough for a chapter. Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't eaten in a week, and I'm starved!
