Chapter 07 – Taiki Satzumi

Kira and I had been walking for what felt like a whole day, and I was beginning to feel as though I would much rather stay in extra maths class to save myself from walking. With no way of knowing where we were or where we were even meant to be going, we just carried on walking. At least we knew that we were in the Digital world – something of which I had not been expecting at all.

"Kira?" I asked her.

"Yes Taiki?" she replied, holding her Digi-Egg like a new-born.

"Is it really hot, or is it just me?" I whined a little, pulling at the collar of my hoodie as I felt an immense heat on my back.

"It's just you, Taiki..." Kira said, distracted by the view until she glanced over her shoulder at me. Her eyes widened instantly.

I didn't want to question it, but I knew I had to. "What is it, Kira- what's wrong?"

"Your egg. It's glowing and steaming. Take your hoodie off, quickly!" Kira demanded, almost pulling my clothes off over my head and balling it up around the egg. "And do not make a comment about me taking your jumper off... You're an idiot sometimes, just like other boys."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" I cried out, snatching the balled up hoodie from her as it started to spew out steam from within. "Maybe it's about to hatch?"

"Well if it isn't, then I would be seriously worried right now."

We watched in complete captivation as cracks erupted all over the surface of the egg, and, pop! A smiley face peered out at me with beady, cute looking black eyes.

"Hey there, little guy," I said, lifting the top part of the eggshell. "Gah!" I dropped it when I saw the flame on the top of his face like a flicker of hair. "Who are you?"

"My name's Sunmon. What's yours?"

I was about to answer but then I realised my little Digimon was talking to Kira. Those black eyes were glued to her heart shaped face.

"My name is Kira-"

"And I'm Taiki Satzumi." I put my thumb boldly to my chest, flashing a broad smile.

"And I am Taiki's partner. Pleased to meet you Kira." Little Sunmon leapt up onto my arm and floated up on to my shoulder. "Those goggles don't belong to you, Taiki, but we need to go to the temple of the twelve. Lord Titamon will be looking for me and won't like the fact that I've got you as a partner."

None of it was adding up, I had so many questions. "What is the temple of the twelve?" I asked

"The temple of the twelve… Well the Olympos twelve. They're like the protectors of the Digital World itself."

"They're like gods then?" Kira asked, also with a host of questions she wanted to ask. "So what can they do to help us?"

Sunmon wiggled in my hands, beaming with anticipation. "Well they must be able to do something to help defeat this Lord Titamon."

"Hang on, where is this temple?"

"I don't know, but it's somewhere nearby."

"And how do you even know about this, I swear you've barely been alive for an hour, and you're suddenly an expert. Per-lease." I looked at my little friend, curious to know the answer for myself.

"Well, I remember hearing people arguing when I was just an egg. I definitely remember hearing something about sending the final five out to the real world, but one of the final five was stolen. But the people arguing were talking about someone who was missing from their meeting. I heard the temple of the twelve so we have to find the true Olympos Twelve as soon as we can."

"Okay then. Are you ready to carry on Kira?" I asked, standing up onto my feet.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Kira replied, so we walked along the rocks with Sunmon leading the way, but when he looked back at us much later on in our journey, he looked confused.

"What are you doing guys?" the little creature asked, bounding towards us.

"What's with you Sunmon?" Kira asked giggling a laugh that I adored. It seemed like she had brightened up a considerably amount since we had gotten here, to the digital world.

"Your hands." Sunmon screwed up his face as he flew circles around up. "They are linked together."

I looked down and saw that Kira and I were holding hands. Immediately, I felt the need to pull away.

"I'm sorry… I totally didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable if I did," I squeaked, slowly slipping my hand away from hers. "Oh man, I don't believe this." I was never meant to say that. I wasn't thinking, but it just came out. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked on.

"Taiki, wait. Taiki, please!" Kira called out after me, but I carried on walking.

How did I let myself get carried away like this?

"Don't take another step, Taiki. Not until you tell me what you don't believe." She was going back to her stubborn self slowly, but something stopped me from carrying on walking away.

Instead I turned around. "It's nothing Kira, honestly. I just got a little carried away. I don't know how that happened okay. I don't know how I ended up holding your hand. I just did."

"What are you on about Taiki? We were momentarily holding hands Taiki, it isn't like we were making out. Besides…" Kira looked to the ground and mumbled very quietly, I don't think she wanted me to fully hear it but I did. "Who said it was your fault anyway?"

I thought to myself. Look, there is this really nice girl here, yeah you met her recently, but I have definitely seen her around town. And all I can think about is how I ended up holding her hand. I should be a little bit happier I guess. Anyway, there must be some other guy in her life. I mean, look at her. She has these beautiful blue eyes, these adorable dimples when she smiles and when she laughs, boy does she light up. What is there not to like? All there is that isn't to like is the stubbornness and a little firey temper, but what is that between friends? But should I go for it?
