^^ Oh, I finally got back the inspiration for this fic! LOL! Isn't this good? Oh, I think so... Oh well, haven't any of you thought "Hey, how can they be going to meet Claire's Sensei if she was locked in the damn cube of ice by 500 years?" Well, the answer is pretty simple: You'll find out here! Bwhahahahahahahahahaha! *sweatdrop* Oh well, let's begin this... ^^

Disclaimer: Claire, Davis, do the honors.
Claire: I'll want money for this... Well, Lily doesn't own Digimon...
Davis: And I hope she never does!
Lily&Davis&Claire: Let's begin this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On their horses, Davis, Claire, Jenrya, Ruki, Ken, Mimi and Matt, Arthur and Naru headed to the Darklight Forest (in the Southern Kingdom), and that took long.
"Oh no, my poor horse can't handle more." Said Davis, as they arrived at the Northwest Village (don't be surprised if I mess up with the names of the villages and kingdoms...).
"Well, is he or his lazy owner?" asked Ken.
"Oh shut up." Said Ruki.
"Please, cut it out, people. Or else, you'd have killed yourselves before we could reach to the Misty Mountain." Said Claire, entering the Inn.
The next day, they traveled without pause, till they were actually in the Darklight Forest... And when they did, it was already very late at night. Davis had slept on his poor horse's back...
"Oh, let's stop, before we die of sleepiness." Said Ken, and they all agreed to sit up a camp, well, only Davis didn't.
The next day...
In front of the famous mountain, they all looked up, seeing that it was really... Well, it was huge.
"We'll have to go there?" asked Davis, pointing to the top of the mountain.
"Well, yeah. And let's go." Said Jenrya.
"Better leave our horses here." Said Ken, and they did so.
They entered the mountain by a little entrance, and found themselves in a very dark and creepy cave.
"Well, at the end of this cave, it's the top of the mountain." Said Arthur. Jenrya and Ruki just glared at him, as they did since they left Northern.
// Jen-san, do you feel the same thing I do? \\ Ruki questioned Jenrya, using her powers.
// That there's something wrong about Arthur and Naru? \\ he asked, and she nodded. // Yes. \\
// Should we warn Claire about it? \\ Ruki asked, eyeing Arthur, the one that looked the most suspicious one.
// I guess she has the same feeling we do, even if she doesn't have her powers anymore. \\ Jenrya replied.
// And why do you have this thought? \\
// Because she has what they call feminine intuition. \\ he answered looking at Ruki directly into her eyes.
// If you say so... \\
As they walked through the dark cave, they could sense some eyes eyeing them.
"Guys... Do you have this feeling of being watched, or am I being paranoiac?" asked Ken, looking around.
"No, it's not you, man." Answered Davis, grabbing his Crystal Blade (oh, I love this sword).
Claire then froze. She knew this feeling. It had frightened her once, and she'd never forget it...
"Oh my God... It can't be..." she whispered, and Davis looked at her.
"What Claire? Do you see something?" he asked, standing in a defensively position in front of her.
"No, it's this... Felling. I had this once, and it was when-" but she couldn't finish, as they were attacked by ugly little creatures.
"What the...!" exclaimed Matt, himself grabbing his own sword.
The little creatures were...
"Digimons!" exclaimed Claire.
"WHAT?!" everybody shouted.
"What are you saying, Claire?" asked Mimi, while she hit some of the creatures (Gotsumons) with her sword.
"Weren't you the only one that could summon them?" asked Ken, while he used his magic to knock out some of the rock-digimons.
"Maybe because I was locked in the cube of ice inside the temple, the portal stayed open since then!" she said, watching everybody fighting, while she didn't have anything to do to help, without a weapon... and her magic.
"Well, that's good! That's just too good!" said Davis, even kicking the creatures. When they finally gave up, and retreated, Claire fell to her knees.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I'm useless now and... It was my fault that they were here... I... I..." she tried to say, while holding back her tears. Then she felt someone kneeling in front of her, and looked up, to see Davis there.
"It wasn't your fault, Claire. That damn Ryo was the one that locked you, and you had no choice. It's his fault, not yours. And you're not useless, okay? Keep that in mind." He said gently, and she smiled. Then she got up, and they continued.
"I hope there's no much of these freaking creatures in here." Said Ruki.
"Why? Are you afraid of them?" asked Jenrya, and she shot him a Horrendous-Death-Glare-of-Hell (©). "Kiddin' Ruki..." he said quickly.
They then heard another noise, and everyone was quickly in their attack positions, when a little creature came from the darkness... But Claire recognized him...
"Chibimon!" she said, and hurried to him.
"Claire!" the little (now visible) blue creature jumped into Claire's arms.
"Oh, Chibimon! You're still alive! You're... okay, right?" she asked him concerned.
"Yes, I'm okay Claire. And I'm glad to know that you're free from that mean ice! Does that means..." he said, his eyes glowing with hope. Claire giggled and nodded, and then turned to Davis. The little digimon looked at him, his red eyes teary, and jumped into Davis arms.
"Davish! Davish! You're okay! You're here!" he said, rubbing his head on the boy's chest.
"Huh?" Davis said dumbly. "What's going on..." he was saying, but cut himself off. Memories started to play in his mind like a movie. Memories of this little digimon and him. But... was it really he?
"This was Daisuke's digimon partner, Chibimon. Now yours." Claire said.
"What's your name?" the little creature asked Davis, his red eyes still shining. Davis smiled at him.
"I'm the same. Davis." He answered, grinning.
"Yes! Yes! We're together again!" Chibimon said, jumping off Davis arms, and jumping up and down on the ground.
"Sorry to interrupt this so cute nostalgic moment, but could we keep going?" guess who? Yes, Ruki said that.
They then kept going, now with the little blue digimon along with them.
"Wait!" Chibimon said, and Ruki rolled her eyes.
"What now?" she asked annoyed.
"There's someone here with me!" he said, and then went off. When he came back a little kitty was with him. A cute little kitty digimon.
"Lidmon!" Claire exclaimed, and opened her arms.
"Claire!" the digimon shouted, and hurried to hug the girl.
"Oh, it's been so much time!" Claire said, hugging the digimon tightly.
"Yes, Claire! But you're here! And Davis too!" the kitty said, looking at Davis and Claire and smiling hugely.
"Well, yes. Now let's get going before Ruki goes insane." Said Claire, grinning at Ruki.
They finally continued, and, before being certain that there weren't any other friends of the little ones there, they hurried to the end.
When they reached the exit, they saw a bright light, and went there. The top of the mountain was wonderful. Full of flowers, and the grass was so tall, that almost came to their knees. Then, they eyed a little house. Looked more with a temple than a house though.
Running there, they saw someone exiting the house. A tall man, with shoulder-length gray hair, and deeps golden eyes was there, in what looked Chinese clothes. But something was different about him... His skin was a bit darker than theirs was, and his ears... they were sharp-pointed ears. He wasn't human. That's why he could be Claire's sensei, even though she was locked in the cube for 500 years. He was an elf.
