Chapter 4: The Adventure Begins
Disclaimer: Even though I wish I did, I *don't* own Digimon. Oh Pooh. I guess I'll just have to hope someone in Siban knows how to write a good romance. I sure don't.

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

Right on time, all fourteen of the Digidestined met at Matt's house, with digivices and such. They all had one bag. They had all made up various excuses except to their parents. Most of them had told their parents the truth. Yolei, Davis and Cody included.
"Are we all here?" Katt asked not wanting to leave anyone behind. When everyone nodded yes and she had counted them all, she turned towards the computer screen and then looked at Davis. "Why don't you lead the way?" They all entered the Digital world in the following order: Davis, Yolei, Cody, T.K., Kari, Tai, Izzy, Mimi, Sora, Joe, Matt, Katt, Jim, and last but not least Enny.

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

Upon arrival they all immediately noticed that their digivices hadn't changed at all but they had all received what looked like a laptop only about one-tenth the size. Not like the D-terminal's, but similar. Veemon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon, Patamon, Gatomon, Agumon, Tentomon, Palmon, Biyomon, Gomamon, and Gabumon were all there along with three they had never seen before. Katt spoke up with an explanation. "This is Cleomon, Ivimon, and Strimon."
Cleomon, Katt's digimon, looked like a small panther. She was about a foot and a half tall. The large cat was solid black except her white paws, tail and ears. She was obviously quite muscular and powerful even though she wasn't as huge as many of earth's 'big cats'.
Ivimon was Enny's. She looked like a white dog only she stood on her hind legs to walk. She had a cat like black tail and her eyes didn't belong to a dog that was for sure. She looked wise beyond her years by many times. On her hind legs she was only about two feet tall.
Strimon belonged to Jim. Strimon was almost indescribable. Almost! He was a lizard that looked like a snake with arms. Not legs just arms. His head looked like that of an iguana and his arms were almost human but not quite. No opposable thumb. His tail was at least a good three feet on it's own. Strimon could easily range in height from one to five and a half feet.
Tai looked at the three *new* digimon. "Wow, this is going to be the best trip yet. No battles. Nothing. All we gotta do is find a bunch of glass stones and if anything goes wrong we got fourteen DigiMon on our team!!" All the DigiMon suddenly got worried looks on their faces.
Gatomon looked up at Kari, "Did he say glass stone? He couldn't mean The Glass Stone Prophecy could he?" Katt answered for Kari, "Let's go over to that clearing and set up camp no need in leaving right away."

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

An hour later all the DigiMon and Digidestined had been updated. This included Sora's announcement that she was the one that was pregnant. The only ones who hadn't figured it out were Davis, Yolei, Cody and surpassingly Izzy.
Davis was curious about this. He pointed to Sora and then Matt adding aloud, "So you guys.... you two like..."
Kari didn't even have to hear the rest of the sentence. She smacked him in the back of the head. "Davis, that was rude!"
"I just wondered..."
"Well, don't!" Everyone started to laugh. Even Sora and Matt. It was just they had needed to loosen up the tense moment. Davis relaxed, too. After turning to crimson, then white and then back to his normal color he started to laugh.
Biyomon looked at Sora in a funny way for the umpteenth time in the last ten minutes since her announcement. Sora this time noticed. "What? Is something wrong Biyomon?" Sora asked.
"No, nothing." Biyomon was very happy for Sora. She also felt that she had to protect her no matter what. She couldn't let anything happen. Not that she could before but now it was even more important.
Gabumon was on the other side of the couple. He had decided right away to make it his business to protect not only Matt and T.K. but Sora as well. He knew that Biyomon would be doubling her efforts but if someone out there really wanted to hurt Sora, Biyomon on her own would be no match.

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

That night everyone slept in this layout. Tai, Katt, and Davis being the leaders of their generations felt it important to be on the edges of the clearing. Their DigiMon were of course with them. Sora and Enny were both next to the fire curled up with their loves. The others were all scattered randomly between these two extremes. Kari next to Izzy and Mimi snuggled up against Joe it was really a sweet thing to behold.
Tai of course should know. He was sure that because he had to lead them he couldn't get involved. If he did he would start to show favoritism towards them. He sat leaning up against a tree on the outer edge of the clearing watching them all sleep. Except of course Katt who had watch. Didn't she?
Katt sat staring at the sleeping group. Joe had been assigned to watch but Katt couldn't sleep. She had told him to go curl up with Mimi because she looked cold and that wasn't good. Katt knew something no one knew. In fact she knew lots of things no one knew. She knew that there was more to the Glass Stone Prophecy and that it involved the future. She also knew that there's a third child to be born and that the parents were here now.
Mimi turned over to look at Katt. Joe had whispered to her what Katt had offered to do. Mimi smiled widely at Katt and Katt slipped a small smile back. As Mimi rolled back into Joe's warm embrace she thought about Katt for a moment. The two girls were the same age, eighteen, but Katt seemed more mature. She wore tight black pants and a black spaghetti strap tank top. Her hair was hardly noticeable at this time of night because it was such a dark black color. All this just made her incredibly pale skin seem even lighter. The paleness didn't suggest weakness though she was quite muscular and obviously a hard worker. Mimi couldn't help but feel sorry for her though. She had lost her parents at such a young age.

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

Sora and Matt were the first ones up. Sora thanked her lucky stars that she was far enough along to be almost rid of the morning sickness. When they got back to camp Mimi was up and so was Joe. Mimi looked a little green around the gills.

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

An hour later everyone was up and camp was packed away into the bags they all carried. Within the hour they were on the road. Katt lead the way and the rest followed obediently.
Katt was thinking quietly to herself while at the same time just sort of following the path. Suddenly her vision blurred and her head began to spin. This wasn't unusual to her, she had visions often. She fell to the ground on her knees. Tai rushed up and caught her as she fell. He didn't know why he felt he had to.
In her mind Katt saw a stone that had a handprint on it. No, it had two prints maybe three. It was so blurred. She saw Sora and Yolei. There was the crest of love. Two red, glass stones. Two silver necklaces. What was that on them? Were they symbols of some sort?

*¥*¥*¥*¥*¥*

Ok the stuff with Tai is corny but hey I don't really like him I'm just being nice and writing him. Heh I know...cliffhanger...you'll live.
