Chapter 3
Moon's Child
Now that Tai's watch was done it was Sora's turn. Instead of going to sleep, Tai stayed up and talked with Sora. They didn't usually get to talk because the had grown apart a little. Their lives had become different from when they had first been digi-destineds. Eventually they stopped talking and gazed up at the stars.
After they had been gazing at the perfect night sky for awhile, Sora said," Isn't this beautiful, Tai? I missed talking to you, you know. I'm glad to be back again."
When Tai didn't answer, Sora looked over at him and realised he had fallen asleep leaning on her shoulder. Poor Tai. He stayed up and talked with me, she thought as she ruffled his hair.
She let him rest his head on her shoulder during the rest of her night watch. When it was over she realised she had a problem. Tai was sleeping on her shoulder and in order to wake up Matt she would have to wake Tai. He was sleeping so peacefully she couldn't wake him up. She looked around and got an idea. She began throwing pebbles. One hit Matt and he slowly woke up. Once she starting showering him with pebbles he woke up VERY quickly.
" What's the big idea?" grumbled Matt quietly.
" It's your turn to watch and I had to wake you up."
" You didn't have to throw rocks at me!"
" They were pebbles!"
" Whatever!" said Matt as he walked over.
" Tai fell asleep on my shoulder and I didn't want to wake him up."
" Oh. Well, you might as well wake him up now."
" Nah, he stayed up and talked with me. I'll let him sleep."
Sora layed down and careful brought Tai with her so he wouldn't wake up. She soon fell asleep.
***
Tai woke up with the feeling not as if he had slept on the ground but as if his had been resting on something. He turned to his left and found his face next to Sora's! Ahhhhhh!!! Tai almost yelled in surprise and he quickly sat up. Oh no! I must have been sleeping on her shoulder!
Sora felt a sudden coldness on her shoulder and started to wake up. Why is my shoulder cold? She opened her eyes and saw Tai sitting up next to her.
She sat up and said," You're awake now?"
" Yeah. Sorry I fell asleep while we were talking. I must have been tired," said Tai, blushing at the realisation of it.
" That's alright." *blush*
" Hey Tai. Did you sleep well?" said Matt.
" Oh, hi Matt. I didn't know you were there. Yes, I slept well, Matt." Tai began blushing like mad.
" I bet Sora's really comfy," said Matt with an evil grin.
" MATT!!!" yelled Tai angrily.
" What?" he asked innocently while standing the way he always did, trying to look cool.
Tai just ignored him and muttered something about getteing breakfast. Sora got up and said she was ging to get some food too. She walked into the woods and then began running in the direction Tai went, calling his name.
" Tai! Tai! Tai! Tai! Where are you?"
She found him standing by a tree. He had picked a few things, but was mostly doing nothing.
" Tai?" she whispered.
No answer.
" Tai," she said a little louder.
" What?" he grumbled.
" Matt wasn't trying to be mean, Tai. He was only fooling around. I'm not defending him though. He shouldn't tease you so much, but that's the way it is."
" He thinks he's better than everyone else."
" I don't think so. He has his own problems, Tai. Of course anything would be more comfortable than the ground, even my shoulder."
A small smile began to creep on his face.
" I got something for you."
" What?" he asked with sudden interest.
She grinned and opened her hand to reveal a grape. Tai had the irresistable urge to laugh. He tried so hard not to, but in the end it didn't work. He burst out laughing. Matt was soon forgiven and forgotten. ( The grape disappeared into Tai's mouth thanks to Sora.)
Meanwhile Tk and Kari were having problems of their own.
Kai started to wake up. She didn't want to. She was so nice and warm. I don't want to wake up. It feels like I'm in my nice warm bed. Wait! I'm in the digi-world! I'm not in my bed.
Karie immediately opened her eyes. Patamon and Gatomon were sleeping on her stomach. Tk had obviously rolled over in his sleep because he was now curled up right next to her.
What I am I going to do now? I can't sit up because I'll wake them all up. They're really warm. That must be why I wasn't cold like the other night. Kari started blushing. She began twisting bits of Tk's golden hair around her finger.
Tk shifted in his sleep. Before he had been on his side. Now he lay with his resting on Kari's side. Kari sat up slightly resting on her hands and careful not to wake anyone.
Tk began to wake up anyway. He could feel someone staring at him intently. He opened his eyes. Looking at him was Kari, whose cheeks were blushing a small patch of light poesy pink. Tk sat up quickly and jumped up. His face started turning a shade of light red.
" Morning," said Kari as if nothing had happened.
" Morning," answered Tk turning red. He did seem kind of embrassed.
" Sorry. I must have rolled over in my sleep." he continued.
" It's okay. I think we were all kind of cold. Look at these little guys." She guestered towards her stomach. She smiled. " We all ended up being warm during the night."
Gatomon sat up. As she did she accidently pulled Patamon's ear.
" Watch the ear," said Patamon.
" Sorry, it was an accident," said Gatomon.
" Morning guys," said Kari.
" Mornin' Kari and Tk," said Gatomon.
" Morning," said Patamon.
" Hey guys! You gonna eat breakfast or what?" said Joe as Tk was about to say good morning.
" Well, I can't get up if there's someone on me," said Kari.
" Sorry," said Gatomon and Patamon. They both hopped off.
" Let me help you up," said Tk and held out his hand. Tk pulled Kari up.
" Thanks."
Kari and Tk were silent the few feet to where everyone else was eating.
" Hey Kari, you make a nice pillow." said Gatomon. Kari laughed.
" So what were you guys doing back there?" asked Joe.
" Waiting for these two sleepyheads to wake up," said Kari with a grin.
" Hey, we weren't the only ones who slept in," said Patamon.
They sat down.
" Morning Kari," said Tai.
" Morning Tai." Tai looked at Kari and Tk. Was it just him or was something going on? He looked at Sora. She shrugged, but wondered if their morning had been anything like hers and Tai's.
***
In the distance the group could see a figure in a black cloak with a hood. She had a pale face and deep blue eyes like the sky before it turns black or like the sea. Her eyes sparkled like light on water or stars. She had long black hair that fell over her sholders and cascaded down her back in waves underneath her cloak. ( If you've seen Sakura's mom in CCS, you can get a good idea what she looks like, epecially the hair.) Some of the ends of her hair escaped the cloak and stuck out the top. Sections of her hair hung at both sides of her face. She was wearing a white skirt that went past her knees. Tiny blue stars like this: *, were scattered all over the skirt and were the same color as her eyes. They could tell her shirt was obviously blue from what wasn't covered by the cloak.
Next to her stood a white cat whose tail and claws were tipped with black. Its eyes were the same color as the girl's. It had whiskers that started as white, but shaded into black. Around its neck was a row of blue stars with a cresent moon in the middle below the chin.
Joe looked at her and thought how beautiful she was. She glanced at Joe and smiled. he couldn't help smiling back.
" My name is Yue-hua," she said.
" So you're Chinese," said Izzy.
" Yes and no. My father is Japanese and my mother is Chinese. I have a Chinese name because my father loved Chinese names."
" Your name means moon something right?" asked Joe thinking to himself she looked like a child of the moon.
" Yes, my name means moon blossom."
" Why are you here?" asked Tai.
" Genni sent me."
" Do you know why we are here,"asked Sora.
Yue-hua nodded," You have sent for because there are new evils. The new digi-destined can't do everything. They have their hands full and you are more experenced. Some of the dark masters are back and new evils have arrisen with them. You're hearts will guide you on your quest ans at sometime I will join you. Before I leave, I leave you with tasks that will help you. Tk, you must be everyone's hope when there is none. Kari, you must help Tk shed the light of hope and be everyone's light. Be careful that your love to help others does not blind you. Tai, look before you leap into action. If you don't you could put everyone in danger. Sora, care for everyone and watch over the adventurous one. Izzy, don't over analise everything and be alert. Mimi, you need not to comlain; it will make this journey more bearable. Joe, that's your name right?" She smiled brightly.
" Yeah."
" Joe, you need to look on the bright side and pay attention to the the light of hope. This will be a hard journey. One last thing, these will strengthen your crests."
" Yue-hua handed then each something that was a quarter of their digi-vices and shaped like their crests.
" How do we use them?" asked Tai as he fingered the new divice.
" Put them on your digi-vices. I'll show you." She picked up Joe's digi-vice, much to Tai's surprise. She carefully latched it on.
Yue-hua and Joe stared at eachother, unsure of what to do and the silence was akward. Joe had no idea what to say and he didn't want to seem stupid. Yue-hua was blushing slightly. Mimi interupted the silence.
" Ow!" she said as she accidently got a small piece of skin caught underneath.
Izzy came over and said," Are you okay? What happened?" Mimi held out her finger. On her finger was a good sized, but not very deep cut.
When Izzy saw her finger he imdently bent down and began frantically searching through his backpack for a bandade. Some of contents of his backpack lay scattered on the ground after he was done looking through it. Everyone stared at him and sweatdropped. They all had their mouths wide open.
"Joe, do you have a bandaid?" asked Izzy.
" Yeah, here," said Joe and handed him a bandaid.
" Do you have alcohol?"
Joe handed him the bottle of it. Izzy pomptly cleaned Mimi's finger and put the bandaid on. Mimi blushed a little.
" Too bad you don't have any pink ones, Joe," commented Izzy looking at Mimi's pink hair and rembering how much she loved pink.
" I do. I didn't know you wanted one. I have a lot of neon colored bandaids," said Joe.
" Do you have any soccerball ones?" asked Tai hopefully.
Sora laughed. " No," answered Joe.
" Too bad."
" I don't think there's anymore obssessed with soccer than Tai," said Sora.
" I agree," said Matt.
" Are you obssessed with soccer too, Joe?" asked Yue-hua.
" No."
After helping Mimi with her digi-vice, Yue-hua said she had to go.
" Bye Yue-hua," said Joe.
" Bye Joe. Bye everybody. See you."
" Bye!" Yue-hua walked away slowly, smiling and waving good-bye.
They all waved until they couldn't see her retreating form. Joe watched and thought again that the moon blossom looked like a child of the moon. Moon blossom. It definately fits.
***
A little while later Yue-hua went through the door of a house and gently closed it after her.
" I'm home Daddy!" she sang out. She was probably too old to be calling her father "daddy", but he always seemed more like daddy than dad. Maybe it was because he hadn't always been able to be there or maybe she just liked to call him that.
Her father looked at his only child. It would be nicer if he could see her and his wife more often.
Yue-hua kissed her da on the cheek. He smiled. She was so much like her mother, who at the moment was blow-drying her hair.
" How did it go?" he asked.
" Fine. I gave the digi-destined their steel crests. Mimi accidently cut her finger when she tried to put her steel crest on her digi-vice."
" Is she alright?" he asked in a conserned voice.
" Yes, Izzy helped her clean it and put a bandaid on it."
" Did you explain the steel crests?"
" I told them it would strengthen their crests, but I forgot to tell them what they were called."
" It's probably better that way. the dark masters will want the steel crests."
Yue-hua's mother, Chyu-yue, came down the stairs. She gave her husband and daughter a kiss. She asked Yue-hua if she wanted to go pick moon lilies, which were their favorite flowers. Yue-hua said yes and her father decided to come too. As she walked out the door, Yue-hua wondered what the digi-destined would think if they knew Genni was her father.

Moon's Child
Now that Tai's watch was done it was Sora's turn. Instead of going to sleep, Tai stayed up and talked with Sora. They didn't usually get to talk because the had grown apart a little. Their lives had become different from when they had first been digi-destineds. Eventually they stopped talking and gazed up at the stars.

" That's alright." *blush*
" Hey Tai. Did you sleep well?" said Matt.
" Oh, hi Matt. I didn't know you were there. Yes, I slept well, Matt." Tai began blushing like mad.
" I bet Sora's really comfy," said Matt with an evil grin.
" MATT!!!" yelled Tai angrily.
" What?" he asked innocently while standing the way he always did, trying to look cool.

" I don't think so. He has his own problems, Tai. Of course anything would be more comfortable than the ground, even my shoulder."
A small smile began to creep on his face.
" I got something for you."
" What?" he asked with sudden interest.
She grinned and opened her hand to reveal a grape. Tai had the irresistable urge to laugh. He tried so hard not to, but in the end it didn't work. He burst out laughing. Matt was soon forgiven and forgotten. ( The grape disappeared into Tai's mouth thanks to Sora.)
Meanwhile Tk and Kari were having problems of their own.
Kai started to wake up. She didn't want to. She was so nice and warm. I don't want to wake up. It feels like I'm in my nice warm bed. Wait! I'm in the digi-world! I'm not in my bed.
Karie immediately opened her eyes. Patamon and Gatomon were sleeping on her stomach. Tk had obviously rolled over in his sleep because he was now curled up right next to her.
What I am I going to do now? I can't sit up because I'll wake them all up. They're really warm. That must be why I wasn't cold like the other night. Kari started blushing. She began twisting bits of Tk's golden hair around her finger.

" Morning," said Kari as if nothing had happened.
" Morning," answered Tk turning red. He did seem kind of embrassed.
" Sorry. I must have rolled over in my sleep." he continued.
" It's okay. I think we were all kind of cold. Look at these little guys." She guestered towards her stomach. She smiled. " We all ended up being warm during the night."
Gatomon sat up. As she did she accidently pulled Patamon's ear.
" Watch the ear," said Patamon.
" Sorry, it was an accident," said Gatomon.
" Morning guys," said Kari.
" Mornin' Kari and Tk," said Gatomon.
" Morning," said Patamon.
" Hey guys! You gonna eat breakfast or what?" said Joe as Tk was about to say good morning.
" Well, I can't get up if there's someone on me," said Kari.
" Sorry," said Gatomon and Patamon. They both hopped off.
" Let me help you up," said Tk and held out his hand. Tk pulled Kari up.
" Thanks."
Kari and Tk were silent the few feet to where everyone else was eating.

" Morning Tai." Tai looked at Kari and Tk. Was it just him or was something going on? He looked at Sora. She shrugged, but wondered if their morning had been anything like hers and Tai's.

A little while later Yue-hua went through the door of a house and gently closed it after her.
" I'm home Daddy!" she sang out. She was probably too old to be calling her father "daddy", but he always seemed more like daddy than dad. Maybe it was because he hadn't always been able to be there or maybe she just liked to call him that.
Her father looked at his only child. It would be nicer if he could see her and his wife more often.
Yue-hua kissed her da on the cheek. He smiled. She was so much like her mother, who at the moment was blow-drying her hair.
