Chapter Two of "What Her Eyes had Seen"

Takeru's Point of View:

"Get real, Daisuke," I sighed as we continued our trek across the beach. We were picnicking in the Digital world, since school was out for a while. Spring break. I praise the person who invented it. "Hikari doesn't like you!"

"And who died and made you king of the jerks?" Daisuke retorted with his usual temper that he got whenever anyone questioned if Hikari really did like Daisuke. Which, she didn't.

Why doesn't he just give it up? I asked, maneuvering away from Daisuke as he continued his list of threats. We had other things to be thinking about. Gennai told us about these Digidestined who are crest-capable like ourselves. Maybe they were people we knew.

Hikari's Point of View:

"Will you two quit it? Gennai sent us out here to find some other Digidestined, not to fight!" Exasperated, I tried to shut Daisuke up. Not an easy task, but someone had to do it. Even with a short fuse like his, he shouldn't be thinking about…ugh…me at a time like this! We should be looking for signs of other kids around here.

Suddenly, I heard someone faintly say, "I'm here!" Confused, I looked around for the owner of the voice, but saw nothing.

"Did…you guys hear anything?" I asked. "I thought I heard someone yell. It was very far away, though."

No one heard the voice. This is strange, I thought. Who was that? Was it one of the Digidestined we were looking for?

Well, there was no point in just standing there and wondering about it. We had to keep looking. Maybe we'll find whoever yelled out.

But…How come no one else heard it?

Ken's Point of View:

"Oh, shut up, T.J.," Daisuke grumbled as we continued our search. Shaking my head, I felt really bad for Hikari just then. I wouldn't have been able to take that kind of crap, day in and day out. How does she handle it?

We had been in the Digital world for approximately three hours and seventeen minutes, but there was no luck at all in our search. I began to wonder if there even were other Digidestined who had crests. Maybe this was just a wild goose chase, I mean, Gennai wasn't actually always right.

Hikari said she heard someone call out. Could that be one of the other kids? I sure hoped so. My feet were starting to hurt.

"Ken?" Wormmon spoke up, noticing that I was lost in thought. "Is something bothering you?"

Smiling, I shook my head to the Digimon I carried in my arms. "Not really. Actually, I'm beginning to wonder whether these "crest-capable" Digidestined are even around here."

"What makes you think that?" A hand touched my shoulder. Startled a bit, I looked to my left to see Miyako walking beside me, with Hawkmon closely following.

I gulped and looked at my feet, trying to diminish the burning in my cheeks. "Well…We…Um…We haven't seen any sign of them for hours. Maybe they haven't been here yet."

Miyako nodded. "That's true. But we can't stop looking until we're sure."

"I agree. Better give it a few more hours," Iori spoke up.

"I suppose you're both right," I managed to say and slowly fell back to the end of our group. I looked up for a moment at Miyako, returning my glance back to the footprints in the sand. I guess I must've looked like an idiot, stammering the way I did when she addressed me. I'm always like that, for some odd reason. Her sudden cheerfulness just took me by surprise. That's all and nothing more.
