Disclaimer: How can I say it this time? Oh I know! I don't own Digimon or
it's trademark thingys. Yeah that's pretty good. I'll stick with that.

Chapter 3: Surfs Up!
The next morning everyone awoke in the shrine around the same time. Hamaya and Seadramon caught fish for breakfast. As Tsubame cooked breakfast she looked over at Ajisai looking towards the shore and then to Kiwimon at the other side of the resting spot looking in the opposite direction. Tsubame noticed that for some reason they didn't look like they were bonded to each other like most partners are.
"Hey, Ajisai?" Tsubame called to her.
"Yeah," Ajisai responded.
"Well I was wondering about."
"Um, Tsubame I don't mean to interrupt but the fish are on fire." Ajisai said a little too calmly.
"Oh no!" Tsubame shouted as she tried to put out the fish. "Um, I think breakfast is ready," she said a bit humiliated for forgetting the first rule in cooking - not to be distracted. Then at that point Terriermon chimed in "Ready? That's more than an understatement." They all gathered around the fire and had their breakfast.
Hamaya spoke up: "We should head to my homeland to find new recruits. By now, Nicole should have gathered many people." Every nodded their heads.
After they had their fill, everyone helped to make a raft to go to Ekitaiinazuma, Hamaya's home island. It was rather hard to find healthy, sturdy trees. That destruction was the effect of ongoing neglect of the forests on Yanagiha ever since the start of the wars.
Now they were ready to set sail. The raft looked picture-perfect at least in Mr. Sarcasm (a.k.a. Terriermon's) opinion. They all dragged the raft into the sea and boarded it. Hamaya gave Seadramon a rope to help move the raft to their destination. He tied the other end of the rope to a log in the middle and the sea journey began.
It would take about two hours to get to Ekitaiinazuma from Yanagiha by sea. Hiroshi looked like he was a bit seasick, as did Terriermon. Tsubame thought she should ask now what she was going to before the fish burst into flames.
"Um, Ajisai I was wondering. It seems that you and Kiwimon aren't strongly bonded, as most are partners. Did you two have a fight recently or something?"
"A fight? No, it's not that.," Ajisai said a bit sad sounding, "We met. under, how should I put this? We met under strange circumstances. Kiwimon was eating vegetation out of my family's garden. My father got really mad.He almost killed her, but I begged him not to. I lied to him that Kiwimon saved my life. Which ironically happened the next day.
"I was walking near a cliff by the shore. Hiroshi as always was following me. I heard a scream, then he was gone. I looked over the cliff and saw him dangling off the ledge. I nearly died of panic on the spot, but I pulled myself together and with much effort I calmed him too. I could barely reach him from the top. So I got as far to the edge as I could and I told him to use me as a rope and climb to safety. He reached the top safely, but as I tried to get up I slipped and I started falling. Everything was swirling, and I felt dizzy.
"Then I felt someone holding my leg and hoist me to the top. When I looked I saw Kiwimon. After I gathered myself I realized just what happened. A wild Digimon just saved my life. I was so grateful I went to hug her, but she was frightened of humans and backed away.
"I don't think she trusts humans after what Dad almost did to her. Yet for some reason she won't stop following me. She doesn't trust me and won't even speak to me for some reason." Ajisai finished with a sad look over to Kiwimon who was starring out to the sea away from the group.
In the near distance Ekitaiinazuma was visible.

First of all I have to say sorry for not posting this chapter for a loooooong time. I had a severe case of writer's block but (luckily) I have more ideas for the next chapter. And also, sorry for ending this in a melancholy way. I'll update soon! R+R please!
