Sorry for the cliffhanger last time, but it was necessary... I think... newayz, before I get totally confused, here's chapter 6!!! (I'm gaining up on my other stories in length :P) Also, I've thought about the plot, and turned it around. No re-writes, cuz everything went ok with the new storyline. It's going to be an adventure/frontier crossover (up to a certain point). I've never really gotten into Frontier that much until very recently, but since it's the last Digimon season ever, I decided to watch every single episode! (Now you know where my free time goes, and it's not to the fics! LOL)
Also, I don't think I've mentioned their ages... hehe sorry about that. I did say that it was after Malomyotismon's battle, so they're in their 02 ages, maybe a little older. Well, I'll post their ages up anyways.
Yamato - 18
Sora - 17
Mimi - 17
That's all for now, otherwise it'll be a spoiler!!!

Chapter 6
The tall person towered over Yamato, the blade inches away from his neck.
"Sora, run. I'll find you later," he glanced briefly in my direction. The other person's eyes darted to me briefly too, and he seemed to relax his posture.
"Sora? Takenouchi Sora? Is that you?"
His voice was softer, and he inched the blade away from Yamato.
"Is that really who you are?"
I nodded. How did this guy know my name?
The person swung the sword again, as if to strike Matt, but he was just sitting there on the ground. I ran up to him, shaking him by his good shoulder.
"Matt, what's going on?" I asked him, but he was just staring up at the cloaked person with the katana raised up in the air above his head.
"How do you even have the guts to bring her here? To go through with your sick plan? How can you betray her like that?" the person bellowed, again in that frightening voice.
"Betray me? What are you talking about?" And then, to Yamato, "What is he talking about?"
"Miss Takenouchi, please step aside so I can finish off this piece of traitorous garbage!"
"Why do you want to kill Yamato?" I didn't move. "Who are you? How do you know my name, and why do you want to kill Matt?"
The sword lowered, and the scarf and hood came off, revealing a handsomely rugged face adorned with a wild mane of long blue hair. He looked to be around 20 years old, and I could not help but think about the fact that he was very handsome.
"I am Minamoto Kouji," he told me, considerably calmed down. "That man you're trying to protect, is, in fact, trying to kill you."
Well that was the biggest pile of bull I've ever heard. This was Yamato - he would never hurt me. I've known him forever, since my early childhood.
"But... that's absurd! You're lying! I don't even know you, so why should I believe you?" All thorough this exchange Yamato hasn't said a word.
"You don't believe me."
I shook my head no.
"Well that's reasonable. Him - you know and trust. Me - you just met, and I do admit that I didn't make a good first impression," he nodded at his katana, and then slid it back into its scabbard.
"Yamato, do you know him?" I asked, turning to face him, and he turned to me.
"No. But whatever he's saying about me, it's clearly not true. You believe me, right, Sora-chan?"
That was the first time he called me 'Sora-chan'. And the way he was looking at me, pleading with his eyes, I couldn't help but agree with everything he said, was saying, or will say.
"Of course, of course I believe you," I nodded, and helped him stand up. He clutched his shoulder.
"Come with me, I may have some bandages for that," Kouji glanced at the blood-soaked fabric.
Should I trust him? He hurt Yamato. But he's offering help... besides, he doesn't seem to want to hurt me, and Matt is bleeding pretty bad.
He started walking, and I followed. Matt leaned closer, and whispered,
"Are you sure?"
I nodded. "Don't worry, your shoulder will be new in no time," I smiled, and he grinned.
We walked through the forest, Kouji leading the way. We soon came to another clearing, with a little shack to the side of it. Kouji pulled the logs off to the side, revealing an entrance. He gestured for me to enter, and I did so, carefully feeling my footing.
The inside was dim. The only sources of light were little cracks in the wooden walls. Kouji got in behind us, and went to rummage around in one of the corners of the low-ceilinged room. Matt sank down on the floor, breathing rather heavily, and I squatted down next to him.
Just as he promised, Kouji found clean bandages, and quickly but expertly cleaned up and wrapped Matt's shoulder. Then he turned to me.
"You aren't hurt, are you, Sora?"
"No, I'm not."
"Good."
We sat in silence a while before Matt exploded.
"Now you want to explain, pretty boy?"
"Hey, calm down, it's okay," I put my hand on his arm before Kouji had a chance to do anything.
"Who the hell are you, and why are you out tracking us?"
"I've already told you, my name - "
"I don't give a shit about your name!"
"Listen, I don't want to argue here," Kouji said quietly, glancing at me. "We would better discuss this outside."
"Sora stay here, I'll find out what's going on," Matt calmed down a little, and patted my hand. The two boys walked out, and I could hear the mumble of their conversation, but not the words. At least they weren't shouting.
Matt re-appeared in the doorway after a while, looking really mad.
"Come on, Sora, we're leaving," he extended his hand to me, and I grasped it. He practically pulled me out of the shack and away from it as if it was something really repulsive.
"Yamato," Kouji came up to us, "Yamato, you have to listen. You have to go back."
"Don't tell me what to do," he replied flatly, and turned to walk in the direction from where we've come, still holding onto my hand, and dragging me with him.
"I'm telling you, something bad will happen if you remain in the Digital World."
"And how do you know what will happen?" Yamato turned around and eyed the blue-haired boy with contempt. Kouji sighed.
"Because I've been there, I've been in your future."
"Future? So what are you, some kind of time-traveler?" Yamato started laughing, first slowly and quietly, and then louder and louder, until his shoulder protested his body's violent movements.
"Matt..." I broke free of his grasp, no matter how much I wanted to keep holding on to him. "He doesn't look like he's joking." I looked at Kouji, and he looked back at me, almost sadly. "Are you messing with us?"
He shook his head.
"Then tell me - what happens if we stay?
Kouji shook his head again, and helplessly shrugged.
"I don't know. But it's terrible," he looked at the ground. "Sora, for your own sake, I beg you, leave!"
Matt was still half-laughing.
"So... you come from the future, but you don't know what happens?" and he broke out laughing anew. Kouji looked uncomfortable.
"You believe me, right, Sora?" he looked at me, pleading with his eyes. I didn't say anything.
What was I supposed to say? I still didn't know why we ended up in the Digital World, and how we managed to get here in the first place. Now that I thought about it, I hardly knew anything at all.
Who am I supposed to trust?
