Author Notes: Uhm..hello? *looks around* Sorry I haven't updated in months?

______________________________________________________________


The next day T.K. was running to school alone, he'd been running terribly late and told Yolei and Cody to go on ahead.

As he ran he could almost "sense" something, the others felt it too. Turning a corner, he ran smack into a woman.

The lady offered him a hand up from where he had fallen on his behind.

"Thanks, and sorry for running into you like that." He took the time to notice she was rather pretty, if not twice his age. She was also definitely not Japanese.

She wore a white cloth-like dress that hung around her shoulders and swept down almost to her feet, with a black filmstrip like design around the top and blue designs at the bottom; her hair was black as night and eyes as green as emeralds, she wore a bit of jewelry, a gold headband with an emerald beetle in the center, but the necklace she wore seemed more important, the eye symbol on it seem to..radiate, though this didn't make much sense to him.

"You are troubled, problems plague you," She began in a wise voice, was it T.K.'s imagination or was the necklace glowing? And her eyes? "Problems to do with..monsters.." T.K.'s eyes widened, how could she know?! "A digital world..a dark master..do not be deceived, friends may be foes, foes may be friends, the unknown will help you." And with that she turned and started to leave.

"Wait! How did you-" Before he could finish she spoke. "We will meet again soon, very soon infact, now I do believe you are late for school." And she was gone.

He stood rooted to the spot for another moment trying to absorb all she had said, then he realized that last part about school was right too and he took off running again. *I wonder what she meant when she said we'd meet again soon*

His question was answered later that day when he sat down in History class, their usual teacher, Ms. Turrin, apparently wasn't there.

T.K. had told the other "New" Digidestined about his encounter with the woman in little snippets whenever he got the chance.

Their principle walked in, which surprised the kids.

"I am sorry to say that Ms. Turrin has fallen ill. However we have a new substitute History teacher joining us today." He stepped aside to allow none other then the same woman from before to enter the room. T.K. gasped and whispered to the others "That's her!"

"Hello class, I am Isis Ishtar."


* * * *


Things in the older Digidestined's class were going perfectly normal.

Such as Malik sneaking a smile at Sora and Tai glaring daggers at him, Tai didn't know it but Malik was doing it just to make him mad.

At one point though Malik seemed to just..freeze up. Everyone was looking at him worriedly as the teacher tried to get a reaction out of him.

Actually he was anything BUT frozen, his mind was in a panic.

*No! No! She can't be here! She just can't!* But he knew she was, he could sense her power, Isis was in the school.

~For once I agree with you, stupid little human.~ Mariku's voice added angrily inside Malik's head. ~She could very well ruin my plans! And if she does..~ The blonde could actually SEE his yami's furious figure inside his mind ~..You can kiss her good-bye!~

~Noooo!~

Malik was trembling. He knew it. He vaguely heard someone say something about a doctor and that's what brought him back to the classroom.

"N-No I'm fine. Really. I-I just need some air..." He got up and left the classroom still shaking and not caring about everyone's eyes on him.

*What's wrong with him?* Was the question on everyone's mind, even Tai's.

Yes! I personally think I did well on this chapter. I think my writing is improving. What do you think? Sorry there hasn't been much of this taking place in the Digital World but I usually wing things. Which means I just write whatever comes into my head at the time of writing. Heh. The reason it takes me so long to update is because I lack ideas that fit, or ones that are easy to write. For this chapter I was like "Hey why not add our dear Seer of the Future, Isis Ishtar?"

I don't own that pic, it's someone else's site.
