Chapter 2

"Taichi? What happened?" Hikari sat up, shivering. The last thing she remembered was a horrible cold sensation freezing her entire body, and then she…must have passed out. But why?

"Taichi, she's awake!" Koushiro cried, and Taichi rushed over to his younger sister.

"Hikari, what happened? Are you alright?" he said, feeling her forehead for a fever or anything strange. She smacked his hand away and said, "Taichi, I'm fine! I just passed out! It's not like I'm going to die or anything!"

"You better not! Mom would kill me!"

"Thanks so much for your concern…"

"So what was it?" Koushiro asked. "That made you pass out, I mean?"

"I have no idea," Hikari said. "Last thing I remember was being really, really cold. Then I was out."

"Guys, look at this!" Koushiro said suddenly, pointing to his laptop. Another message was flashing on the screen. "It says, 'Four souls bound by darkness, together more powerful than imaginable!'"

"What the hell!" Taichi cried. "Someone really likes you, Koushiro!"

"Taichi! This isn't funny!" Koushiro cried, smacking him in the face.

"Koushiro's right," Hikari said. "I think this is bigger than anything we've ever fought before."

"What are you talking about? We're not fighting anything! We're done fighting, don't you think?"

"Taichi, listen," Hikari said quietly. "Don't listen consciously, or you won't hear it, but listen. Can't you hear it?"

Taichi did as his sister said and listened. For a whole minute he listened…to silence.

"I can't hear a damn thing," he said finally.

"Then you're deaf," Hikari said. She got up and left the room. Koushiro and Taichi looked at each other and shrugged.

"Maybe she really is hearing things," Taichi said. "Last time she said something like that, she was attacked by Endigomon, remember?"

"That's true, I remember her telling us about that," Koushiro said. "I wonder what it is this time though?"

"Well, judging by these stupid e-mails, it's something big," Taichi said, then added again, "Stupid…e-mails…"

"I thought they were just prank e-mails," said Koushiro, his eyebrows raised.

"Yeah but if Hikari thinks it's something serious then it probably is," Taichi replied. He looked out the window at the sky; it was sunny, as if nothing could have been wrong anywhere in the world.

"Takuya, what in the world are you doing?" Kouji cried jokingly. "I thought you didn't like computers!"

"Well, I'm checking my e-mail! I still talk to people, you know!" Takuya snapped back. When he turned back to the screen, there were four messages waiting for him. He grinned and opened them.

"Darkness is before you, hiding in the shadows, but soon to appear and show its face!"

"Even the strongest light cannot pierce the eternal darkness!"

"Darkness and shadow combine to create ultimate power!"

"Eternity is in the hands of those with power!"

"What the hell…?"

"Who're those from?" Kouji asked. Takuya shook his head.

"I have no idea!" he said, reading the messages. "There's no return address or anything!"

"Huh…they're probably just prank e-mails," Kouji said, pulling up a chair.

"Some how I doubt that," Takuya said as another message popped up on the screen, which read, "Four souls bound by darkness, together more powerful than imaginable!"

"Wow, that's really weird," Kouji said, lost in the screen. "I wonder who sent those…"

"I have no idea," Takuya replied. There came a beep from his belt and he looked down to see a strangely bright green light coming from his D-Tector. Kouji pulled his D-Tector from the pocket of his coat and noticed the same green light.

"What the hell is with these stupid junk e-mails!" Daisuke cried. Yukira looked over at him curiously, then got up form her spot on the floor and walked over to his computer, reading the messages over his shoulder.

"That's not junk e-mail, Dai," she said. "I don't know who they're from, but they're serious."

"Serious as in 'take-over-the-world' serious or serious as in 'we're-all-going to-die' serious?"

"Pick one and multiply it by ten," she said. He looked at her quizzically and shrugged, deleting the messages.

"Well, if you say it's serious, then it probably is," he said, leaning back in his chair and stretching. He heard a sudden beep from his pocket and looked down. He pulled out his D-3, which Yukira did the same. Both devices were glowing with a strange green light.

"Well, it's never done that before," Yukira said.

"No, it hasn't," Daisuke replied, staring at his D-3. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Well, I suppose we'll find out soon enough, won't we?"
