Ch. 2
"Where am I?" asked Takuya.
"Takuya!" shouted Junpei.
"Junpei! Where's Tomoki?" asked Takuya.
"I don't know." Said Junpei.
"Tomoki!" called Takuya.
"Takuya oniichan!" called Tomoki.
"Tomoki, there you are!" exclaimed Takuya.
"Where's Izumi-chan?" asked Junpei.
"Where's Kouji?" asked Takuya.
"What if they're lost?" asked Tomoki.
"What if something happened to Izumi-chan!" exclaimed Junpei.
"Uh. I really don't know where they are, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet." Said Takuya.
"Right." Said Junpei.
"If I were Kouji, where would I be?" asked Takuya.
"Who cares about Kouji? It's Izumi-chan I'm worried about!" exclaimed Junpei.
"We're not going to get anywhere like this!" shouted Tomoki.
"You're right." Said Takuya.
"I am going to pound the person who separated me from Izumi-chan!" exclaimed Junpei.
"I'm sure she's just fine." Said Takuya. "but we got to start walking to look for her."
"Right." Said Junpei.

"Kouji-kun?" asked Izumi.
"Hmm?" asked Kouji.
"I've been thinking for a long time and, I was wondering…" started Izumi.
'What's she going to ask? Is she going to tell me she loves me?' asked Kouji to himself.
"Do you know where there's water?" asked Izumi.
Kouji was a little surprised at this but managed to say, "There's a stream just on the other side of those trees."
"Thank you." Said Izumi walking off.
"I guess her ankle's better." Said Kouji quietly.
"Ow!" screamed Izumi.
"Then again… Maybe not." Said Kouji getting up to help her.
"Ow. Dumb ankle, getting all sprained because the digital world can't stop itself from breaking apart." Mumbled Izumi.
"Here, let me help you up." Said Kouji holding out his hand.
"Thanks." Said Izumi.

"I-ZU-MI-chan!!!" called Junpei.
"Kouji!" called Takuya.
"It's no use. We've looked everywhere!" pointed out Takuya.
"We got to find Izumi-chan!" yelled Junpei.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Kouji-kun?" asked Izumi.
"Yeah." Said Kouji.
"Did you hear Junpei's voice?" asked Izumi.
"No." said Kouji.
"I could have sworn…" said Izumi but stopped.
"Here's the stream." Said Kouji.
"Thanks." Said Izumi drinking some water. "Huh? This water tastes like coconut!" exclaimed Izumi.
"What?" asked Kouji.
"Try it." Said Izumi.
"You're right." Said Kouji drinking some of the water.
"Strange." Said Izumi.
"What isn't strange about the digital world?" asked Kouji.
"Good point." Said Izumi.
"Come on, we better go find the others now." Said Kouji.
'I was just getting comfortable. Why does he always pick a good moment to ruin?' asked Izumi to herself.
"Alright." said Izumi dully.
"You don't sound too excited about seeing the others." Said Kouji.
"I'm enjoying the morning air." Said Izumi.
"Oh. What's so great about air anyways that you need to enjoy it in the morning?" asked Kouji.
"It's a nice cool feeling. Also the fact that you get to see the sun rise over the mountains." Said Izumi.
"You can get the same effect at sundown." Said Kouji.
"I know but… The morning is the start of a fresh day. That also makes it better than sundown." Said Izumi breathing in deeply.
"I see. I guess we can stay a little longer. If you want." Said Kouji.
"Thanks." Said Izumi closing her eyes and enjoying the breeze.
'Wow, she looks so beautiful with her hair blowing in the wind.' Thought Kouji.

"IZUMI!" called Junpei.
"Kouji!" called Takuya.
"Izumi and Kouji!" called Tomoki.
"Where could Izumi-chan be?" asked Junpei.
"Who knows? She could be anywhere." Said Takuya.
"I want to see Izumi and Kouji again!" yelled Tomoki.
"We all do buddy." Said Takuya.
"What if something happened to them?" asked Tomoki.
"Izumi and Kouji are strong! Nothing bad will happen to them!" exclaimed Takuya.
"Really?" asked Tomoki.
"Yeah." Said Takuya.
"I know Kouji is strong, but can Izumi take care of herself?" asked Junpei.
"I don't really think Izumi would want to hear that if she was here right now." Said Takuya.
"Why not?" asked Junpei.
"She'll go something like, "Are you saying that girls can't protect themselves!?" And then slap you." Said Takuya.
"Good point." Said Junpei.
"I'm hungry." Said Tomoki.
"I think we should take a break and get something to eat." Said Takuya.
"Same." Said Junpei.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Kouji-kun?" asked Izumi.
"Nani?" asked Kouji.
"I was wondering, what will happen when we find the others?" asked Izumi.
"I don't know." Said Kouji.
"Do you think Grottomon will come again?" asked Izumi.
"I don't know." Answered Kouji.
"I hate not knowing." Said Izumi.
"I do too." Said Kouji.
"It's hard to be clueless about everything." Said Izumi.
"I know." Said Kouji.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"I need food!" shouted Tomoki.
"I know what you mean." Said Takuya. "But unless we find some, we can't eat."
"I still have some chocolate bars." Said Junpei.
"How many chocolate bars do you have left?" asked Takuya.
"Let's see… 10, 20 24. I have 24 more chocolate bars." Said Junpei.
"I guess chocolate bars are better than nothing." Said Takuya.
"Chocolate bars for lunch? I must be in heaven!" exclaimed Tomoki.
Takuya sweat dropped at this.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Izumi was walking around calling, "Junpei! Tomoki! Takuya!"
Kouji was just walking hands in pockets.
"You could help!" yelled Izumi.
"What's the point? I'm right beside you." Said Kouji.
"If we call at the same time, the voice will be able to be heard from far away." Said Izumi.
"Fine. Junpei! Tomoki! Takuya!" called Kouji.
"That's better. On the count of 3, we call them. 1, 2, 3!" said Izumi.
"Junpei! Tomoki! Takuya!" called Kouji and Izumi at the same time.
"Much better." Said Izumi.
"Whatever." Said Kouji.
"I don't get you. I thought Takuya helped you realized teamwork." Said Izumi.
"I called at the same time, didn't I?" asked Kouji sarcastically.
"Well, yeah." Admitted Izumi.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Did you hear something?" asked Takuya.
"Like what?" asked Junpei?
"It sounded like Izumi and Kouji calling us." Said Takuya.
"Maybe they're looking for us!" exclaimed Tomoki.
"I knew Izumi-chan cared." Said Junpei all giddy.
"I think she called all of us." Sweatdropped Takuya.
"You're just jealous!" yelled Junpei.
"How? I don't have a crush on Izumi." Said Takuya.
"Well… I don't know how." Said Junpei.
"I think we should call them." Said Tomoki.
"Right. Izumi! Kouji!" called Takuya.
