Part 28: The Trip Home!
After all of the darkness around them had finally vanished, they found themselves back in front Evamon's factory--where they were before they went after Demon. They were also back to their old selves, age and clothing wise and Chibimon, as well as Minomon, were back to their child (rookie) forms.
"Yay, I'm not a shrimp anymore!" Takeru cheered.
To greet them was Angelique, Swanmon, Aina, and a young, handsome brown haired man...
"Gennai-san!" everyone said in surprise.
"Hey," the young Gennai smiled.
They all started talking at once wanting to know what was going on. During all of this, Aina ran up and practically choked Miyako and Koushirou, hugging the two to tightly, saying that she was glad that they were okay.
"I knew you all would do well," Gennai smiled. "I'm proud of you all."
"I knew they would as well," Angelique nodded. "I am also glad to see that you are back safe and sound, Gennai."
"Of course. You actually thought I would stay away?" Gennai smirked playfully.
"Gennai, you fool!" Angelique scolded angrily, her smile fading. "You could have been killed! What on earth possessed you to go after Demon and his two partners by yourself!"
"It was the only way to get you to see those visions that the Guardians gave you," Gennai explained with a nervous sweat drop from Angelique's outburst.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I knew that we wouldn't be able to defeat them alone and that we would need help," Gennai explained. "I spoke with Zhuqiaomon of the Southern Gate, but he insisted that we needed no help from the human world. I explained to him that we did and even reminded him of the prophecy, but he was too stubborn to listen. I knew that we were going to need more help than what we currently had, so I sacrificed myself to Demon. By doing so, Zhuqiaomon and the other three Holy Beast Guardians knew that they were going to need more help since I had been caught by Demon, so Qinglongmon and the other Holy Beast Guardians, gave you the powers to make your psychic sense stronger than ever. They also gave you the extra power to open up those gates and to summon these particular Chosen Children who have helped out the Digital World before."
"But why did you go to Zhuqiaomon?" Angelique asked. "Why not go to Qinglongmon? This is his area, you know."
"That story is even longer," Gennai sighed, "but I'll tell you and Swanmon more about it later. I'm sure that all of the children have questions."
"I am sure you are right," Angelique agreed. "Besides, we have someone here that I'm sure Eiji would enjoy meeting."
"Me?"
The two nodded.
"Come on out," Gennai called.
A beautiful, golden butterfly like Digimon flew out and landed right beside Eiji...
"It's the Digimon that saved me when I was little!" Eiji gasped out.
"It sure is," Gennai smiled.
Everyone stared in awe at the majestic Digimon.
Digianalyzer On>>
Tailmon: This is *Butterflymon, an insect Digimon who is very good at causing confusion when it comes to her opponents. Her wings aren't only pretty to look at, but it helps her out a lot in battle when she uses her Sweet Pheromone attack, tricking her opponent into doing whatever she wants of them, which is normally the reason why she wins the battle. She's also one of the wisest Butterflies I know of.
Tentomon: Not as smart and wise as me...
Tailmon: (Sighing) But you're not a butterfly...
Tentomon: But I am an insect! That should count for something and I should be doing the analyzer.
Palmon: Poison Ivy!!
Palmon ties Tentomon up and drags him off to let everyone continue on.
Tailmon: Thank you!!
Palmon: Don't mention it. ^_^
Digianalyzer Off>>
"But how?" Eiji started, not knowing what to say.
"Speechless I see." Angelique laughed lightly at Eiji's reaction. "Well, like I said before, you have the qualities of a Chosen Child, which is why you were able to see Butterflymon. You were originally supposed to have been brought back to the Digital World that day, Butterflymon being your partner, but something strange happened at that time."
"I was in the real world in search of my partner," the Butterflymon explained. "But after I saved you, I couldn't keep my strength up and I had to go back to the Digital World. There was a gate open right near you, but after I went through it, I couldn't come back. It was strange, but Angelique explained that our time to meet one another hadn't come yet. Our time to meet again was to be right at this moment. I knew that you were the one I was searching for because you were the only one who could see me. I really wanted to come back to you, but I couldn't and had to wait years and years before we could meet again."
"You're my Digimon!?!"
The butterfly like Digimon nodded.
*"KAKOII!!" the girl exclaimed, clapping her hands.
Butterflymon smiled.
"Okay, okay," the girl calmed down. "We must give you a name."
"Sure thing," Butterflymon agreed. "What name did you have in mind?"
"Hmm, how about the name *Chou?"
"That's a nice name. I like it very much.
Eiji turned to everyone and smiled.
"Hey, everyone," she announced. "This is my new Digimon friend, Chou."
Everyone clapped and cheered for Eiji.
"Wow, Eiji-san, you have yourself a Digimon partner now."
"Yep, I sure do, Iori-kun," Eiji smiled, hugging on Chou. "And I couldn't be happier."
"I was just wondering about something," Sora chimed in.
"What about?" Swanmon asked.
"How come Hikari-chan, Takeru-kun, and Daisuke-kun were in those strange trances?"
"Remember the saying," Angelique said wisely, "light leads to hope and hope helps to create miracles."
"That's why the crest shape of miracles stood out so much!" Yamato realized.
"That was how Nohemon found us!" Mimi said. "He was our miracle! He saved us!"
"The reason they were in those trances was because their, I guess you could call it, spiritual selves had taken over their physical bodies," Gennai explained. "Their spiritual sides are very strong."
"Maybe that prophecy wasn't wrong after all," Ken said. "The prophecy did say that in order to defeat the dark demon lord's predecessor and the evil that would end up destroying both words, can only be defeated by those who have the mindset of a child. Those three are some of the youngest Chosen Children."
"That plan also backfired on Demon," Hawkmon added on. "He made all of you younger and made it so that your Digimon could evolve to higher levels. If he would have kept you at your current ages, it would have been pretty difficult to evolve past certain stages, which means that he probably would have won."
"Wait, didn't Demon say he was going to come back?" Patamon asked while trembling.
"Don't you worry about that. He can't and he won't."
Michael gave Angelique a quizzical look and asked, "What do you mean?"
"When you all defeated VenomVamdemon before, you never destroyed the energy that left his body after it was deleted," she explained. "With Demon, Daisuke, Hikari, and Takeru took care of that. All of the Dark Energy that left his body got destroyed as well so he can't rest or possess another like Vamdemon did."
"That's a relief," Jou sighed while wiping his brow. "I don't think I could take another encounter like that."
Eiji then got a confused look and remembered something.
"What is wrong, Eiji?" Chou asked.
"Those pictures," the girl said. "Angelique, who were those other people in the photos?"
"Photos?" Hikari asked.
"Yeah, there were a lot of photos at her place and now that I think about it, most of them looked like her, only younger. Gennai-san too, only younger; like a child."
"Why not tell them of your pasts," Swanmon suggested.
"As you all may already know, you aren't the first set of Chosen Children," Gennai said.
"Yes, I remember that," Sora recalled. "You explained that to us right before we fought Apocalymon."
"First set?" Eiji asked. "You mean, before the friends of Iori-kun, there were more?"
Gennai and Angelique nodded.
Eiji thought for a moment, and came to a surprising realization.
"YOU GUYS!! YOU WERE CHOSEN CHILDREN AT ONE POINT, WEREN'T YOU!!"
"My, my, calm down," Swanmon said.
"Is this true, Gennai?" Taichi asked. "Are you really one of the five original Chosen Children?"
"Yep, sure am," the man nodded. "Angelique too."
"Wow!" everyone exclaimed.
"Our adventures were nothing compared to yours, but never mind that," Angelique said.
"Why are you guys here in the Digital World anyway?" Koushirou asked.
"Both Angelique and Gennai-san were the only two, out of the five, granted to help keep peace in the Digital World, as well as immortality, just like myself since I am the Digimon partner of Angelique. The two were also granted adulthood at the age they chose, to help maintain this."
"I shall always remain at the age of 25," Angelique smiled proudly.
"But how come when we first met Gennai-san, he was old?" Mimi asked.
"Qinglongmon used Digicore powers on us to keep us young looking and also to keep us feeling young, but by the time I met up with you all, it had worn off and I was starting to show my true age," Gennai explained. "Besides, before the stuff with Apocalymon, 1 minute in your world, was equivalent to 1 day in the Digital World. That's the only reason I seemed so old to you all when you first met me. Time went by faster here, meaning that we age faster here. As a matter of fact, if you all would have remained in the Digital World a bit longer than what you had five years ago, all of you would have appeared a year older."
"Oh," Mimi said.
"So where are you two really from?" Miyako asked.
"I am from Kyoto and lived with my grandfather, aunt, uncle, and their daughter, in their shrine," Angelique explained. "When I became of age, about 14, I moved out and took on my role as Digimon Empress of the Digital World of this hemisphere, but in a different area than you all know of. I was nowhere near File Island or the Continent of Server where you older children first had your adventure."
"I didn't really come from anyplace," Gennai said sadly as he remembered back to his painful childhood. "I was pretty much a wanderer, always getting into trouble, not really fitting in anyplace."
"What do you mean, Gennai-san?" Sora asked.
"Well, I always took care of myself. I have always been alone and grew up that way. When I was 10, I was in Kyoto and became a Chosen when I was 10, same as Angelique.
"When I got older, I was asked if I wanted to take role of helping to maintain peace within the Digital World and the human world and I chose it, of course. I had lots of fun in the Digital World, and I didn't mind staying here to help run things. It's not like I had anything to go back home to.
"We all didn't know each other before our adventures, just to let you know, even though I had been in Kyoto just like Angelique. We were just brought here one day in the strangest of ways and we were stuck here for a while, just as long as you older children."
"If only two people were needed to run things around here, what happened to the other three?" Michael asked.
The two frowned a bit.
"Uh oh, I think you upset 'em Michael," Betamon said.
"I'm sorry," Michael apologized hastily. "I didn't mean to."
"That's okay, it's just that..."
"We'll talk about her last," Gennai interrupted, realizing how upset Angelique was.
She nodded and continued on.
"Along with us, was a 12-year-old boy named Nanaho--Fujiwara Nanaho--who was from Kaibara," Angelique explained. "He grew up to be a very successful business man and has a family of his own."
"The other person was an 11-year-old boy named Kazuko--Fumitake Kazuko--and he was also from Kaibara," Swanmon input. "Kazuko-kun and Nanaho-kun were actually cousins." Swanmon sighed in annoyance, remembering their adventures many years ago. "They were bickering cousins whom always competed with one another."
"The Digimon partner of Nanaho was Kunemon and the partner of Kazuko was Elecmon," Gennai continued. "Just like Swanmon said, those two were always bickering and fighting, but you knew they loved each other like they were brothers. But their bickering and fighting left a bad effect on their Digimon."
"What do you mean?" Aina asked.
*"Both of those Digimon became rivals and always battled one another in their adult (champion) forms since they had naturally evolved to that after our adventures were over," Gennai explained. "Too bad one of them is no longer with us, but he should be getting back up to that stage pretty soon since he was reformatted after his death. Also, if you all are wondering, Kazuko now lives in Washington DC in America. He has a wife and three children and became a Biochemist."
"What about the third person?" Wormmon asked.
The two got sad looks again.
"She is no longer with us, "Angelique said quietly.
"I'll tell this story," Gennai offered.
The lady shook her head as she tried to hold back tears. "I'll do it."
"Are you sure?" Swanmon asked.
Angelique nodded. "I'm sure."
She wiped a tear away and started to tell the story about the third Chosen Child.
"The third person was a shy 10-year-old girl from Odaiba. Her name was Miki, Tomoko Miki. She was very nice, a bookworm and quite smart. She was a redhead, like me, but I sorta envied her for having such pretty hair. She wasn't much into fashion or anything like that. She was alone in the world. No family, no parents. She grew up in an orphanage. She also became one of my best friends and we kept in touch, even after our adventures here in the Digital World. Her Digimon partner was also Tentomon."
"A Tentomon?!?" everyone asked in surprise.
Angelique nodded.
"Wow, I actually have a Digimon that one of the Original Five had!" Koushirou said.
"That wasn't me."
"You know what I mean, Tentomon."
"After our adventures here in the Digital World, she went back to her lonely life in Odaiba and continued on with school," Angelique continued. "She met some guy while in college, a real brainiac. They ended up getting married after they had both finished. I don't remember what he ended up doing for a living, but Miki ended up being a housewife. One night, one tragic night she and her husband were both killed in a terrible...terrible---"
The woman couldn't continue and started to cry.
"I am sorry," she apologized.
Gennai hugged her. Koushirou stared at Angelique and Gennai and thought of the other Original Five member that she had just spoken of. He had a lot on his mind after hearing that story. He was going to ask more about this lady, but since Angelique started crying, he didn't have the heart to...
"Don't wear yourself out," Hikari said. "That is very sad about the couple."
"I think we better stop with the questions for now," Takeru suggested.
"Yeah, that would probably be the best thing to do," Jou agreed.
"We should probably leave them," Aina said. "I guess this means that we all can go home now."
"It sure does," Swanmon nodded, "but you have to say good bye to your Digimon first."
"Aww!" all of the children groaned.
"I just got my new Digimon partner!" Eiji cried.
"Do we have to say good bye?" Michael asked.
"I am afraid so," Gennai said.
****
RP: To save time, just like before, each kid said good bye to their
Digimon friend.
****
"Why can't they take their Digimon with them?" Aina asked.
"We've lived here in the Digital World for too long," Gomamon explained. "We've grown too accustomed to living here. We wouldn't be able to keep our energy up if we went back with you."
"Besides, just because you all are going home doesn't mean you can't come back," Gennai said slyly.
"Yes," Angelique spoke up, a bit more collected than what she was earlier. "Now that there are no more evils here in the Digital World, no threatening ones anyway, the gates that you all used two years ago to travel back and forth with are now accessible again."
"DOES THIS MEAN I CAN SEE MY FRIENDS HERE MORE AND THAT I CAN SEE PALMON ANY TIME THAT I WANT!"
They nodded. Mimi's eyes lit up and she started to dance around with Palmon happily.
"Did you hear that Palmon!! I get to see you all more!! This is great!!"
"Yay!" Palmon cheered.
"I'm glad, now you all better run along home and I'm sure that Miyako and Koushirou will both find a way so that all of you can visit," Gennai said.
"You mean set up a gate for each child that will always be open, but only that child'll know about it?" Miyako asked.
"Hmm, that means, no D-3s will be needed for us to open a gate and go back and forth to the Digital World, meaning we older kids won't have to rely on you younger kids anymore," Koushirou said.
"Bingo!" Gennai said, doing Miyako's Victory pose.
Everyone sweatdropped from Gennai's Miyako impression.
"Anyway," Gennai sweat dropped, realizing that everyone thought he was strange, "any kind of a Digivice should be able to open it."
"We all better get home now," Jou said. "I just know our folks are going to be worried."
They all nodded in agreement.
"But where, exactly, will we all end up if we go through these gates?" Taichi asked. 'I wonder where the gates are in general...'
"You all will end up back in Odaiba at the police station and Mimi and Michael, right back in her room, where they were summoned from," Gennai said. "To get back home, though, all you have to do is hold out your Digivices and concentrate like you all did before when you went after Demon."
"But I don't have a..."
"Check your pocket," Chou interrupted Eiji.
The young girl dug through her jeans pocket and she pulled out a D-3 which had a color for each crest she possessed.
"A Digivice!"
"I hope to see you again soon, Eiji," Chou told her new human partner.
"Me too," Eiji said hugging the Digimon tightly. "But I plan on coming back as much as possible!"
"Hey, Gennai, why are we going to end up at the Odaiba Police Station?" Yamato asked.
"You shall see when you get there," Angelique said.
They all just shrugged.
"It looks like good bye again you guys," Mimi said. "It was nice seeing you again, even though we were all really young for a while."
"It was nice seeing you all again too," Michael said. The boy then turned to his friend and replied, in English, "Hey, Mimi, we better get back before your parents find out we were gone."
"Yeah, you're right," Mimi agreed, "but I wouldn't mind talking for a bit. How about you go on ahead of me?"
"I dunno," the boy said with skepticism.
"I can take care of myself," Mimi smiled, speaking English. "I proved that when you came over this afternoon, remember?"
"Yeah, that's right. Man, you sure can be viscous," the boy laughed.
"I'll talk to you later, Michael."
"Sure, Mims, but if you don't mind my asking, where did you get that jacket from?"
"Oh, I'm still wearing it," the girl laughed, realizing that she hadn't taken off Koushirou's jacket. "He lent it to me earlier since my clothes were too big." She took the jacket off and draped it over her arm.
"Oh..."
"Okay, Michael, not get going before anyone notices!!"
"Yeah, yeah," the boy mumbled as he took his Digivice out. He then turned to the rest of the group. "Well, so long gang. See you all later and it was great seeing you again Betamon! I promise to visit you again real soon."
"Bye Michael!" Betamon said. "I can't wait for you to come back!"
The young boy did as Gennai instructed earlier and concentrated really
hard. A television then appeared behind him with an unlocked gate.
He then went through. All went well and he ended up right back in
Mimi's room, in her walk-in closet.
****
RP: (Sweat drops) Boy, Gennai sure needs to work on his location for
these gates.
****
Mimi walked over to Koushirou who had been pretty quiet the entire
time. As a matter of fact, all of the kids had broken up into separate
groups to talk, minus Jou and Aina who were discussing something with Gennai,
Angelique, and Gomamon. Miyako was with the other Junior High students,
Koushirou was with Mimi, Sora was with Taichi and Yamato, and Iori was
talking with Eiji.
"This was one weird adventure, but it ruined your get together," Miyako said.
"I think it made it better," Ken nervously and shyly spoke. "I got to hang out with you for a change."
"Yeah, I know. I hardly ever to get to see any of you all since I'm always so busy with Izumi-senpai."
Ken felt himself growing hot, and sweating immensely from nervousness as he started to mess with his short, dark hair. "Maybe we, meaning you and me, should-should hang out when we get back home, or-or something."
"I would like that," Miyako smiled at the boy. "It'll make up for missing out on this evening."
"Leave it up to a Digital World crisis to bring us all together," Hikari laughed.
"You got that right," Takeru laughed along.
Takeru then started talking about something that happened in the Digital World when he and Hikari were younger, which resulted with Hikari and Tailmon laughing along with Takeru and Patamon over that particular incident. Daisuke, on the other hand, felt awkward hanging around them and drifted away from the group and sat down with V-mon.
Daisuke sighed. "I don't even know why I even bother."
"Bother with what?" V-mon asked.
Daisuke decided to tell V-mon what had been bothering him. V-mon couldn't understand it completely since he wasn't in the situation, but he tried his best to cheer Daisuke up. He tried by telling jokes, which were pretty bad...
Daisuke forced out a laugh. "Have you been getting joke lessons from Gomamon? Those were awful."
"It was worth a try," V-mon said with a smile.
"Thanks for trying," Daisuke smiled at his partner.
"So, what are you going to do about Hikari?"
"What can I do? I'm just going to go home and think things
over, that's all," he said while staring up at the sky. "Besides,
I'm just glad to know that I can come and visit you anytime that I want."
****
Far off from everyone, Mimi and Palmon stood with Tentomon and Koushirou.
Mimi had asked to talk to him alone.
"I forgot to give you your jacket back," Mimi said, handing Koushirou his jacket.
"You can keep it," he told her. "I have another uniform jacket at home."
The boy paused a bit.
"So, why did you want to talk to me? Is something wrong?"
"Well, I was just wondering about something."
"What about?" he asked.
"I was just wondering, did you really mean what you said?"
"Huh?" the boy asked in confusion. "What did I say?"
"You were willing to get yourself killed for us," she reminded him. "When that Aina girl was acting a bit crazy."
"I guess I did," Koushirou said nervously. "I didn't want one of my pretty...er...um...good friends to get hurt. I also figured that she would've listen to me since she knew me best."
"That was sweet of you to do that for Miyako and me." The girl smiled. "Also, did you really mean what you said about me? About my being 'a wonderful person' and stuff?"
The boy nodded slowly, feeling his cheeks going a slight crimson.
"But why did you make that statement about no one caring if something were to happen to you?"
"Oh, that...that was nothing."
"It sounded too serious for it to be nothing!" Mimi said with concern. "It sounded like a death wish to me!"
"Honest, it was nothing!"
"Izumi Koushirou," the girl shouted, putting her hands on her hips, "you don't sound convincing!!"
"I'm sorry," the boy apologized with a sigh. "I was just thinking of some people that were never close to me because I never got the chance to and neither did they, and then that story about Tomoko-san...I'm just so curious about it."
"Excuse me?"
"Never mind," Koushirou said quickly. "Shouldn't you be going now? You'll get in trouble if your folks find you missing. It's night time there already."
"Yeah, I guess I should," Mimi said quietly.
The two were quiet for a moment, until Mimi broke the silence.
"I-I want to thank you again for sticking up for me when Aina was going to shoot me."
"Don't mention it. You're a good person. You are like a, a---"
"Japanese Mary Tyler Moore who can turn the world on with my smile."
"Where did that come from?" Koushirou asked with a laugh.
"That's what Michael says about me," Mimi said. "Pretty scary, huh?"
He nodded.
"Hey, can you do me a small favor?" Mimi asked.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I want to meet back up with you real soon, just to talk," Mimi said. "Maybe you can talk about those people you were thinking about."
"Um, okay," Koushirou shrugged.
"When you figure out that gate business with Miyako, e-mail me asap!" Mimi winked with a smile.
"I'd like that, but what about the time difference?" Koushirou asked. "There's a big time difference between Odaiba and New York."
"We'll work around it."
"Sure, okay."
"Well, I better get going."
The pretty tan-haired girl gave Koushirou a quick kiss on the cheek, which left the him flabbergasted, yet happy...
"Koushirou-han," Tentomon asked, seeing his partner turning red.
"Um...I...er..." he said.
"Thanks again. I can literally call you my hero," she giggled.
****
"I'm not really happy with you two!" a certain goggleheaded boy complained.
"Taichi, calm down," Agumon urged to his human partner.
"Don't get upset," Piyomon said.
"Please, don't start fighting," Gabumon begged.
"Agumon, Piyomon, Gabumon, stay out of this," Taichi ordered as he held his hand up at the three. He then stared at the two humans before him. "This is between me and Yamato & Sora and I really feel that they have the right to know that I am currently annoyed with them!"
"Look, we just weren't ready to tell you," Yamato told the annoyed Taichi.
"When were you going to tell me!" Taichi argued. "I had to hear it from your brother!" Taichi emphasized. "Your brother!" he repeated. "I thought we were all better friends than that!!"
"Taichi, we're sorry," Sora apologized, about ready to cry, seeing Taichi in this manner. "I didn't realize that you would feel so strongly about it."
"Well, think about how I feel!"
"I should have taken the advice of Mimi-chan," Sora muttered.
"OH, so Mimi knew about this too?" Taichi threw his hands up into the air. "Who else knows? Anyone else in school know?"
Yamato and Sora just stood there, not knowing how to respond.
"You know what, I don't care if the whole world knew," Taichi argued. "I just wish you two had told me instead of me having to hear it from somebody else! Two of my best friends are sneaking around behind my back! When were you going to tell me? When you two got married!"
"It's a little early for that, don't you think?" Sora asked, a nervous quirk to her voice. "Besides, I don't think we'll end up married or anything. We just started dating, Taichi, you are over exaggerating."
"It makes me feel as if you don't trust me or something since you didn't tell me." The boy stared his childhood friend right in the eyes. "Sora, you are my best friend and you have known me for years! You ought to know me better than that! I wouldn't have overreacted, I wouldn't have hated you. It'll take more than something like this to break up my friendship with either of you!"
"I didn't think that it would've bothered you so much," Yamato stated. "It was getting more and more difficult to keep this away from you."
"Please forgive us," Sora bowed.
Taichi crossed his arms and frowned at the two but that frown soon turned into a smile--a forced one anyway.
"You know I can't stay mad at you, you're my pals. Of course I forgive you," Taichi grinned. 'Why me? Why couldn't it be me in place of Yamato right now? What's so good about him that Sora likes so much?'
Sora hugged Taichi.
"I'm so glad to hear you say that Taichi," Sora smiled. "You're definitely a true friend."
"Yep, good ole me," Taichi said with a forced laugh.
"Thanks man," Yamato said while giving Taichi a High Five. "I'm glad you're okay with this."
"What makes you think that I wouldn't be," Taichi said with forced enthusiasm.
****
"I'm glad they're not upset anymore," Piyomon whispered to Agumon and
Gabumon.
"So am I," Agumon responded.
"That last thing I wanted was a fight to break out," Gabumon said to
the two.
****
Sora was glad that Taichi was taking the news better than she had assumed
he would. She was pretty worried that he would go ballistic for keeping
such a secret. Sora was also glad that Yamato didn't mention that
she was the one who wanted to keep their relationship secret. Yamato
was ready to tell and let everyone know it, but Sora wasn't ready for Taichi
to. She couldn't explain why she felt the need to do this.
"Thanks, man," Yamato told Taichi.
"Yeah, you're welcome, now let's go," he responded. "I am sure you guys want to finish your date in the park," he said in an unintentional, semi annoyed manner.
The brown haired walked off to where the others were. Sora and
Yamato gave each other a look and then at Taichi, wondering if he truly
was
truly okay with their dating each other...
****
"So this is what you guys go through for a living, eh Iori-kun?"
"I wouldn't say that."
"Sure, but I wanted to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Iori asked.
"For trying to save me from Nohemon."
"But I failed," Iori frowned.
"No you didn't," Eiji insisted. "You tried your best and then you tried to come and look for me when you first came here! I really appreciate it."
Eiji gave Iori a hug, who hugged her back.
"I didn't mind at all," Iori said nervously. "I'm just glad that you are all right and safe."
"So, wanna hang out some time? I don't think we ever have outside of school."
"Sure thing, Eiji-san."
"How about tomorrow," she then laughed, "that is if I'm not grounded for not coming home that is."
"Sure," Iori nodded. "It shall be my pleasure to accompany you."
"You sure are polite."
"He sure is," Upamon chimed in hyperly. "He's very nice too and he never loses his temper."
Eiji smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Upamon," Iori blushed nervously.
"Oh, I've been meaning to ask you something," Eiji started.
"What?" Iori asked, trying his best to rid himself of his blush.
"What was your other problem?"
"Problem?" Iori asked. "I didn't have any other problem; besides, whatever it was is fine now. Nothing is the matter."
The young boy thought for a moment and then realized what Eiji was referring to. His "girl" problem, but for some reason, it didn't bother him anymore, not since he'd been with Eiji for the evening. He actually enjoyed being around her.
"Well, if you say so. We better get going now."
He nodded. "Right."

Gennai and Angelique waved to everyone as they held out their Digivices.
Aina stayed with Koushirou so she'd be able to get home. Before,
though, Miyako had run over and given Koushirou a big hug and thanked him
tremendously for keeping Aina from hurting her. She then left and
went back over to talk with Ken. Koushirou sighed as he saw this,
but wondered why it didn't bother him as much as it had before. It
still bothered him that Miyako had gotten so close to Ken, but at the same
time, he was happy for her because she was happy. He didn't understand
any of this.
Mimi had left already. It was now the Odaiba residents that had to get back home. The Digimon were waving good bye as well and Gabumon still had Yamato's harmonica, which he plays well now. While the other Digimon were waving, he was playing the song Yamato had taught him two years earlier, *Run with the Wind.
They then started going back the way they had came...

Shin had just gotten to the Police Station and was talking with his
brother, introducing his girlfriend to him. They had also noticed
that the sky had lightened up again and it didn't look too dark out.
"Hey, look," Mrs. Yagami pointed.
A gate was opening in front of everyone. They all ran outside
to see what the commotion was. A big bright light shined around the
area. When the light cleared, all of the kids were back home, in
Odaiba...

Note 1: Butterflymon is what Tailmon would evolve to if you use the
Digimental of Knowledge.

Note 2: Kakoii is another word for "cool" for those of you who
didn't know. I can thank anime characters like Daisuke and Usagi
for that one. lol And the word, "chou" is just another way of saying
Butterfly in Japanese. Chouchou, batafurai and kochou are others.

Note 3: This isn't really a note, but more of a statement. Do
you guys think you can figure out who the two adult (champion) leveled
Digimon Gennai is talking about? How well do you know your Digimon?
I really want you guys to guess.

Note 4: I don't think I mentioned this earlier, but Run with the
Wind is Yamato's instrumental theme. There are two versions of
it, a slow version and one that's a bit faster. His instrumental theme
has the same tune as his 01 image theme, Walk on the Edge.
Some of the other characters have instrumentals like this...instrumentals
that have the tunes of their image themes.
Both Sora and Mimi's instrumentals have the tune of their 01 vocal themes, same with Hikari, who only has one inst. theme for 01, but hers is also the longest out of all of them. All of the Chosen Children have two instrumental themes, with the exception of Takeru who has four in all since he's been a part of the cast since the first ep of the entire series and Hikari has three since she's a season one character who's a main character for season two. Like I mentioned earlier, she may only have one instrumental for 01, but hers is the longest out of all of the other 01 kids and one of the prettiest of course. ^_^
