Hello everyone! The new OVA has gotten me inspired to write a new fanfic. This first chapter features parts from the new OVA, starting where the portal is open to meeting their partners. It's gonna be Sorato obviously, but not the main focus though. The whole story is going to be Sora's POV. I hope you enjoy. Please review.

Starting All Over

Chapter 1: In The Digital World

The bright yellow light that came from the power of our digivices lighted the whole place, to the point I had to cover my eyes so I wouldn't get blind. I had to admit that going back to the Digital World after three years was a little frightening, and I automatically retracted.
"What's wrong?" I heard Mimi's voice, so I turned around to face her.
"I'm just a little scared."
"I've been thinking about this since Gomamon disappeared. I have to try my best to smile the next time I meet him."
I was completely caught off guard when Jou said that. He went through a major change since he received a shock of reality from Hikari. He was absolutely right, though. Piyomon won't remember me, so I will have to do my best to get past it and build new memories with her.
"It's alright." Yamato rested his hand on my left shoulder in a reassuring way and gave me a warm smile.
I smiled weakly back. With my friends around, I know I can do this. We're all gonna help each other, we are on the same boat after all. Over Yamato's shoulder I saw Taichi nodding and I couldn't help but subtly nod back. We all looked towards the portal and headed to it.

I must say it felt different to willingly walk into the portal than to be dragged into it, especially because you land safely on the other side. Jokes aside, being in the Digital World again was… surreal. And weird. As each one of us stood up, we were greeted by a fight.
"What was that?"
"Two Digimon were fighting."
"This I know. But shouldn't they be rebooted too? There's no way they could be at this level so fast, is there?"
"That's because they are special, Mimi. They are Royal Knights." Koushiro replied as he turned on his laptop for search. "But one of them is unfamiliar to me. There, I found it. His name is Jesmon."
"What if there are others like them around? We won't be able to defeat them without our partners."
"And that will also take a while, because they won't remember us." I said with a lump in my throat. It still pains me to take the situation in.
"Shhh." Hikari placed her index finger over her mouth, signalizing for us to be quiet for a moment.
"What's wrong, Hikari?"
"I'm hearing something."
We stopped talking and a familiar sound echoed all over the place.
"A whistle?" Takeru asked and immediately started running into the forest.
I immediately ran after him, and so did the others, until a sea started to unravel in front of us. The whistling noise was stronger than ever, causing all of us to look at our rights. The sight caught us by surprise; we would never expect it to happen so fast.
"Tokomon?"
He looked towards us at the same time seven other Digimon joined him. What?!
"Give it back! Give it back!"
"I wanna play more! I wanna play more!"
"What's up with this whistle?" Takeru asked as he walked to his partner.
"It's mine, it's mine."
Hikari flinched behind me and I got the same feeling as her. How could Nyaramon know that whistle was hers? Did she just feel like it did?
"It makes a beautiful sound."
Tokomon blew into the whistle once again, but something else was catching my attention. The next thing I knew I was calling Pyocomon's name and running towards her, but stopped abruptly when she spoke.
"Who are you?"
I felt like someone stabbed my heart. I knew this would be hard, but not that much. My vision was starting to get blurry by the tears forming in my eyes. There was no way I could do this. I'm not the type of person who pretends something.
None of us knew what to do or to say, and it was becoming to get awkward. Then Koushiro walked past me and Takeru to where the Digimon where. I could swear I saw him swallow hard before addressing to his partner.
"Hello. We don't know much about you and this world. Can you help us?"
The Digimon slowly came out from behind the rock and stopped in a line. Maybe this won't be so hard after all. I mean, they are at least willing to show us around.

Later on, we were all setting up our camping for the night. Just the thought of having to do this all over again and sleep on the ground made me wish the bus that appeared on our first night here magically showed up again. I glanced at Pyocomon to see what she was doing. She was helping Tsunomon and Tokomon with something I couldn't quite see. But it made me smile and distract me from what I was really doing.
"Whoa, Sora! Watch it."
"I'm sorry. I was looking at Pyocomon and got distracted." I explained when Yamato walked to me.
"It's hard to handle, isn't it?" He leaned against a tree and looked at me. Somehow I found this very familiar… and incredibly sexy. I found it hard not to blush.
"It really is." I looked away so I wouldn't show my emotions to him. We were still undefined about where we stood.
"How are you feeling?"
"Oh, you know… I'm just going to have to put my feelings aside and start over with Piyomon. We all will."
"That's not I asked." He walked towards me and grabbed my shoulders firmly, forcing me to look at him.
"Then what did you mean?"
"Are you still afraid?"
"I don't know." I made an effort to look away from his pierce blue eyes. "We are facing the unknown and I don't like it. We never know where we are stepping at."
"You should take a break." His hand slipped throughout my arm to my hand and he began pulling me away from the group.
"Yamato, I'm helping the other setting the camp up."
"There are six people. They can handle some time without you. Besides, I need to talk to you in private."
"Alright, I guess." I shrugged. "But only if you don't take too long."
"I promise."
"So, what about you? How are you feeling?"
"I'm not sure. I have mixed things about it. It's strange to know we remember everything and they don't. We have to build new memories with them." He threw a small rock into the water. "Don't you find it weird that all of them were together?"
"I still can't believe they are rebooted."
"They were very brave to do this. I would never do that. I couldn't handle losing memories of the ones I love."
"Yeah." I sat by the lake and stared at the water.
"What?" Yamato sat down next to me.
"Nothing." I sighed. "I just think that…"
"It doesn't seem like they lost their memories?" From the corner of my eye I could see him looking at me.
I couldn't help but smile. "I think you know me way too well."
"Well, we did date."
"That's true. So why did you bring me here for?"
"I just wanted to spend some time with you. I miss talking to you about random things. I miss the smile you gave just now."
He brushed a lock of my auburn hair way from my face, so he could see me more clearly. I felt a cold rush running all over my body the moment he touched my cheek. Before I knew it, I had my eyes closed and my face leaned against his palm.
"I forgot how soft your hand is." I instantly pulled away from him when I realized what I said. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean it like that."
"It's okay." He smiled with reassurance. "Do you ever think about us?"
"Yamato."
My expression must have softened up, because he held my face with both of his hands and started leaning closer.
"Say no more."
I was unable to move – or maybe I didn't want to. When his lips touched mine was like the whole world around us had disappeared. I almost forgot what it felt like to kiss him. My heart raced and my legs lost balance. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back as he pulled my closer to his body. It has never felt so right. When my senses returned, I broke away from him.
"We aren't supposed to do this."
"Why can't you believe me, Sor? I said it was only a misunderstanding."
"You've hurt me, Yamato. It will obviously take some time to heal. I still care very deeply about you, though."
"I care about you too. I still love you, Sor."
"Don't do this. Please."
"I can see it in your eyes. You still love me too."
"That's not fair to me."
"You wouldn't kiss me back if you didn't feel a thing."
"It was just a spur of the moment. It didn't mean anything."
"A kiss always means something."
"We can't think about this now. That's not why we came here."
"Sure, keep running away from what you feel."
"I'm not running away, Yamato. I actually feel nothing." I turned my back on him and started walking away.
"But you won't get to run from me when we get back to Earth."
I leaned against a tree after I made sure I was out of his sighed and touched my lips. I was falling for him all over again.
