Back with the second chapter..e.e; Or so..I think. Keep on reading. x.x; I know, it's turning out to be as horrible as my first fic. e.e; Sorry..! But..please read and review, and NO flames please! ;-; It's only my second fanfiction.


*****

Sora had her knees huggled to her chest slightly--and a bit tired since it was getting rather late. She let out a bit of a yawn, covering it with her hand and looked over to Biyomon, who was sound asleep. "Good night Biyo-chan..." She said softly, and gently.

Sora had then noticed something, that someone was missing. She quickly counted and named everyone who was here--and the only one that seemed to be missing was Yamato and the Digimon Gabumon. She had wondered how come no one had noticed him missing. A bit mad, at there...so-called responsibilities of keeping up with friends, she decided to go look for him herself.

*****

Gabumon had fallen asleep. Yamato had laughed.." I guess the - excitement - was too much for him.." He joked. Yamato sat up gruffly, a bit sleep also.

"Well..I better take you back to the campsite..it's starting to get dark, I wouldn't want anyone worrying about us." 'Especially...Sora..' He had thought.

*****

Unfortunately, the campsite was set up near the woods. Sora had feared a bit that she had to go looking for the misplaced friends in the dark, spooky woods.

A deep breath drawn, she started for the woods--and looked around the scenery of many trees and flora. It wasn't that scary..and so..she looked a bit for them. [ x.o; I know, it kind of skips why she went looking for them...x.x; work with me here! ]

A bit twigs had cracked, as she stepped and stumbled on them. With her amazement, she came in the presence of a spring. A bit of a ponder, why one was doing here in these spooky woods--but the ripples of water had looked attracting. To her luck, it was a hot spring--as Sora had sighed a bit with relief place where she could relax. [ A bit out of character of what Sora would do..but..x.x; It will fit in the story sooner...or later. . ]

The spring was in the depth of the woods; it had looked so inviting--the peaceful ripples of water and all. She had felt like some strange force was physically forcing her to take a dip. It felt like a strange power had overswept her. Without another breath drawn in, she stripped herself out of her clothing and garments--laid them on a low branch of a short-growing tree, and stepped in slightly--tiny steps at a time.. [ x.o; don't ask...just read. ]

Finally..her whole body was submerged in the water, only her head stayed out of the water..so she could draw in air. The warm waters flushed around her cold skin--the warmth just had made everything feel wonderful, on this cold night of the Digital World.

Sora had moved around, a bit and occasionally dunked her head into the water, after the skin on her face had gotten cold from the breezy winds of the night. Relaxation at last..

But what was it about that spring..had made it look so inviting..? It sure had looked like an ordinary spring--but the question was..just what was it doing here in the middle of the forest? Something was odd about the water--a big pool of hot water wouldn't suddenly just collect here..would it..? Well...seems that there could be some hidden truth floating around with the ripples...

*****

The talking and the racket of the campsite full of kids and Digimon had died down. One by one, they had felt the effects of the "sand man" and began to fall asleep. There were 12 [ x.o; It think that's the number of Digidestines...right? Let me check: Ken, Yolei, Davis, Cody, TK, Matt, Tai, Mimi, Izzy, Joe, Kari, and Sora. Yeah..x.x; anyway... ] There were twelve sleeping bags, all laid out in a circle-shape pattern around the single glowing firelight in the middle. Ten of them had been occupied by Digidestines, while two were empty..

*****

Yamato had looked down silently at the sleeping Gabumon, and had picked him up with ever so much care, and gentleness. Yamato moved slowly, trying the best he could to not awake the slumbering Digimon, and when he arrived at the campsite full of sleeping Digimons and Digidestines, he carefully laid Gabumon down on his sleeping bag.

Yamato was about to change into his night clothing, in the dark somewhere...but before he did, he noticed that someone was missing--Sora! Biyomon was atop the sleeping bag, sleeping like a log. He had wondered how the people at the campsite could have missed the sight that someone was missing--especially Taichi Kamiya. Taichi had been Sora's best friend, and Yamato had wandered why - he - didn't even notice that Sora was gone.

That had angered him a bit; he had a soft side for Sora...and possibly wouldn't let himself survive if anything had happened to her. He had to go find her, and make sure that she was alright. Yamato had looked around a bit, wondering that if he ' had ' Sora's mind--where the heck would she be?

Then it snapped into his head---The forest! He thought for a few seconds...' Why the Hell would she want to go there..? '

Before he had left, he looked over at the slumbering Taichi--who was acting so differently all of the sudden. This was not like him, he really had taken his responsibilities seriously. But today, he didn't care whether his friends was missing or not--or so..it seems to Yamato. Yamato had thought it was totally irresponsible of him to forget about Sora like that. 'Damn you Taichi..' He thought, and had left into the forest.

*****

Sora had not noticed that it was so late in the evening, she was having some ' alone' time by herself--Sora was glad Daisuke had invited her to the Digital World for some " relaxation " time, but there was much too much racket!

She had sighed in peace, and slowly submerged her whole face and body into the spring--thinking a bit. She wondered what everyone back at the campsite was doing.

*****

[ x.o; Here's the funny part! ; I just can't think of a way to..make something as coincidental as this work without spoiling it! ] Yamato had walked a pretty long time, and he had bet that he was somewhere in the heart of the massed woods.

He also stumbled upon a spring--just the south side of it. The spring was rather vast--and it was the same one that Sora had found..just that Sora had stumbled across the north side of the spring.

The spring's water was as clear as a crystal--probably one of the clearest waters you've seen in your life.

Yamato pondered a bit, about why and how did this spring get here--wow..this spring was probably as big as Gabumon's stomach! He had thought...in sarcasm.

The spring looked so relaxing to him, and Yamato had felt that...suddenly..some strange force had beckoned him to take a quick dip.

Yamato had refused all so suddenly--and acted as if someone was telling him what to do. He walked over to the water's edge..and suddenly gave in to the urge. "Well..maybe a quick dip won't hurt..." He said..quietly to himself.


Soon, he found himself in the quiet pool of water..his dry clothes tossed over a branch of tree, to keep them from getting wet.

******

Sora had just surfaced her head, and took a deep breath of air.

It had been a long time since she had stayed in the springs, and she felt as if her body temperature had reached over 100ºF. She decided to get out of the spring, and return as quickly as possible to the campsite before any suspicion had fallen.

Sora swam to close to the middle of the shallow spring, ready to step out and grab her clothes--the water, at the moment..covered her nude body.

*****

'Alright ..alright...Dip over...' Yamato thought..remembering what he was looking for in the first place.

He too, swam quickly to the middle of the shallow spring.


****


They both said simultaneously, haven't even seen each other yet [ x.o; I know..kind of hard not to miss a naked blonde in a spring with you. u.u;; ] . "Gosh, alright..it's starting to get hot in here..I'm going to climb out."

Eyes widened with surprised--not sure if both had heard..a voice of the opposite gender. Both were rather shocked and surprised, took a deep breath..and turned around slowly to see if anyone was there.

The two had found each other alright--both in the position ready to get out of the spring; opposite arms extended in the same direction, ready to pull themselves up. They had found each other--just in a way they would probably never imagine. A lump had collected in both's throat, as they tried they're best to swallow it.

When they had saw each other--pale skins glowing in the fragile moonlight..well, they somewhat..screamed in shock.

*****

I know it was a bit Out of Character..of what those two had did--just gotten into the spring without any clothes at all. n.n; Yeah..but it fits..with what would happen! x.x; Okay...read read read..and I'll be back soon..e.e; REVIEWS! I NEED 'EM ALL!
