Reunion Part One: Living a New Life

CHAPTER 4 "Fearful."



"Then, come on, there's free lunch here for all of you, including Digimon, don't just stand there," I offered.

"Alright! Free food!" Armadillomon cheerfully stated, and Cody nodded in total agreement.

"Great! Finally, a day when I don't have to bring lunch for everyone! Yay!" Yolei shouted happily.

"Yolei!" Hawkmon replied.

"Thanks!" the others offered in exchange of their gratitude.

I chanted a wish in my mind for the food that they wanted for lunch including the drinks. It worked, they all got what they wanted, including Ken, except for me. We were all sitting at different tables. Sitting around one of the tables were Yolei, Hawkmon, Cody, Armadillomon, Tai, Mimi, and Izzy. At another table were Davis, Veemon, T.K., Patamon, Kari, and Gatomon. At my table was also Matt, Ken, Wormmon, and Wishmon. Everyone was eating, everyone but me. I didn't know what I wanted to eat. The foods that they had all wanted were so strange to me.

Ken looked and me and saw that I wasn't eating anything and asked, "Annye, why aren't you eating?"

"I had never tried this kind of food before. Are they tasty? Do they taste good? And I don't know if I would like them. I don't even know what to eat for lunch. Any suggestions, Ken?"

"Of course they are! Wanna try some of what I'm having?" Matt offered before he took his first bite of whatever he was holding.

"Okay, Matt," I answered and was about to accept some of his until Ken interrupted.

"You don't have to try to eat any of what we're eating. Just eat the food that you want," Ken advised me and I refused Matt's offer. Matt was silent, once again, thinking, and wondering, wondering too much if you ask me; then again, I wonder more than him, or at least almost equal.

"I trust you, Ken. So what is it you're having? I'll try to have the same one like yours, Ken. Is there anymore? I'm sure that there is." I asked him.

Ken whispered to me, "Actually, there isn't anymore. Sorry, Annye."

"Don't worry about that, Ken. But, don't eat that out yet. Keep holding it but let me have a look at it."

"Huh?"

"Okay," Ken answered confused.

"I wish for another of what Ken had took a part of. Instead, it isn't what's left, but the identical one before Ken had taken a bite of. I wish that. Please grant this wish and place the food in my left hand and let it not fall to the ground," I whispered to myself. Then it appeared, in my left hand. Matt was shocked, luckily, he was still in silent mode. Even Ken was shocked! What is going on here? Ken isn't supposed to be shocked!

The first person I was to reassure was Matt and then Ken.

"Hey, Matt, don't worry. You see, I'm pretty good with this."

"I can see that already! What is this? Don't tell me, you can do magic tricks extremely well?"

"You can say something like that. Don't tell the others. I hate performing in front of a lot of people." Fortunately, the others didn't notice the situation nor witness the event. Wishmon as well as Wormmon kept quiet when they both witnessed the situation as well. But only Wishmon really knew, or at least that's what I thought.

"Okay, Annye. Did you know about this, Ken?"

"Ken? Ken? Don't worry. Didn't you and Wormmon know about this from the strange message that I handed to both of you?" Then I took a bite of it, and to my surprise, it tasted better than what I had expected, so I took another bite.

"Huh?" Matt was still freaked out, but he managed to continue eating his lunch.

"Actually, no. It didn't say anything about that. Are you certain that that was stated, Annye?"

"Yes, it was when I was reading it. I guess that's for the best. Can you tell me what you had read?"

"Yeah, just great! It's usually always for the best," Matt thought as he continued eating.

"Sure, after we finish our lunch and as I am taking you to some places, Annye."

"Okay, I'm finished, are you?"

"Actually, no."

I turned and looked at Ken, he was still a little surprised that he had not finished his lunch. But Matt was done. "Wormmon, Wishmon, are you both finished eating?" Wormmon and Wishmon both nodded. And when I looked back to Ken, he had finished his lunch. "That was fast."

"It's time to go."

"Okay, Ken," I answered and said goodbye to the others. Matt didn't tag along for some unknown reason, maybe, he was afraid to intrude. Whatever the reason may be, I'm not sure that he did the wrong thing, or did he? They seem to be discussing about something around one of the tables that a few of them were sitting at. We left.

The first place that Ken took us was a subway station. I questioned, "Oh, Ken, why are we here? If you're thinking of us taking the subway, then you can just go ahead but I don't have any money to pay for mine."

"It's okay, we're not going on the train, we're just here to get you a road map of Japan," Ken clarified.

"Oh...okay, Ken," I said with disappointment.

Ken noticed my disappointment and promised me that we'll go on the train later but not today.

"Oh yeah, Ken, you said you were going to tell me what you read."

Ken said with sarcasm, "Okay, I read books and stuff like that."

"Forget it! I guess it doesn't really matters!" I said angrily.

"Don't be angry, I was just joking, I'm sorry."

I laughed and complimented, "I knew that already. But nice way of being sarcastic, Ken."

"All it stated was your name and that you're a Digidestine from Canada and that it was Destiny104 that had sent you it. Is there anything else that I should know about?"

"There were things that were also stated, but I'll tell you about them in time. But you already know now that I have special powers and you must keep that a secret, Ken."

"I thought you said that you can perform magic tricks very well?"

"Of course I can, but it requires me special powers."

"Oh. So, Annye, exactly how long are you staying in Japan?"

"I don't know. I was told that I must stay here until my mission is done, whatever that is. But when I finally complete my mission here there will be an eclipse to mark my success. The only problem is that I'm not yet certain whether it will be a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse. Only time will tell, I just hope I'll make it through this and return soon."

"Oh."

"Look, Ken, they're asleep. Look how adorable they look when they're asleep," I commented when I opened my bag to check on them and I stared at Wormmon and Wishmon asleep inside my handbag that I can resize and change the weight using my powers. Inside the bag, there would be much room, even enough room for about two young teenagers, even though on the outside it would appear to be just another ordinary handbag. That is all because I used some of my energy to fix it. It didn't weigh a lot since I tampered that also. I changed it to weigh as light as if it only contained one novel of about one to two hundred pages regardless of what the bag actually contained.

"There, over there, there's a road map," I informed as I closed my handbag so I won't disturb them since nothing that the bag would contain could be disturbed or damaged as long as the bag isn't left opened.

"Right!"

I took his arm and said, "Let's go then."

"Can we go back to the Digital World? There could trouble," I said.

Ken agreed as he grabbed a free road map of Japan, "have you noticed that Tai and Matt, and perhaps T.K. seemed to be interested in you."

"What?"

"Here's your road map."

"Oh, thanks," I said confused.

"Don't worry, Ken. I know my priorities. My mission comes first right after safety. There's no time for dating."

"Not even friendship?"

"Friendships are a part of my mission. But, let's not confuse work with personal life."

"Oh."

"Enough talking. I bet you want to see something really neat. Hold on and don't let go until we've arrived. Digital World, here we come!"

In an instance, we were transported to the Digital World. "You can let go now, Ken."

I tried to wake Wishmon. It didn't work so I went into my opened handbag and took out Wishmon. I sat down on the ground and held her in my arms and called her name until she awoke. When she was awake, Wormmon was too, and then he managed to get out of the bag and onto the ground without my help of getting him. How strange.

"I'm so glad that you're awake and I'm sorry that I disturbed you, but, we must stay alert."

Wishmon replied, "It's okay, remember, I'm here to help and be your friend, and besides, you have the Crest of Forgiveness, you can always forgive yourself. You have my permission for forgiving yourself if you're going to be asking me for forgiveness."

I agreed and nodded, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about forgiveness. Ken, look! Over there, a control spire and that strange lady again, isn't that the same lady that you saw? What is she doing in the Digital World?"

"Yes, and she's doing something. She's turning the control spire into a Digimon, and the Digimon is Devi...Devimon! It looks like the same Digimon I saw when I was still the Digimon Emperor." Ken was shocked with fear and was shaking. Luckily, Wormmon was already on the ground or else he would have fell. Then, Ken was on his knees, still shocked with fear, still trembling.
