Chapter 4
The Happy Reunion of the 10 Legendary Spirits
"Elemental Crash!" yelled Nitemon as the fire, water, wind, and earth elements surrounded the blade of her sword. She struck Rhodomon with the blade and cut it in half.
"Whoa, talk about power," said Koji as he struggled to get up. Nitemon used her digivice to scan Rhodomon's data. "Let's hope this'll be the end of you," said Nitemon with a sigh, "I really hate doing this," said Nitemon as she returned to her original form.
Ashley ran to help Koji; she kneeled next to him and used her arms to support him. "Never knew you could become a digimon," said Koji weakly
"Yeah," said Ashley quietly as she brushed a strand of his hair away from his eyes. "Please, don't pass out, I need you here with me."
"Hey I'll be fine, just look after my friends," said Koji as he looked at Takuya and then at his brother, Kouichi, "It's nice seeing you again Ash," said Koji weakly, using up the last of his strength
"No!!! Koji don't!!!" screamed Ashley as her tears finally broke free
Nathan, Joey, and Nicole ran inside the clearing, hearing Ashley's scream.
"What happened Ash? You all right?" asked Nathan, then he looked around the clearing and saw Kouichi, Takuya, and Koji's bodies scattered around the clearing. (They r still in one piece)
"What happened?" asked Nathan once again
"I was too late to help them," said Ashley as she struggled to stop her tears from coming out
"They are still alive, but their life's in danger," said Joey, "We have to help them fast." The rest nodded
Nathan looked at the boy in his sister's arms and recognized him, "Ashley? That's Koji, isn't it?"
"Yeah," said Ashley quietly, "I was too late to stop Rhodomon from hurting them. All I managed to do was to stop it from absorbing their digicodes."
"Hey," said Nathan, who was trying to comfort his sister, "They'll be alright."
"Nathan, go and find some blue herbs that look like little stars," said Ellamon, who was trying to help the 3 legendary warriors.
"Sure," said Nathan as he ran into the forest, "I'll find some big leaves too, to use as bandages." Yelled Nathan as he ran
"Joey, go and get some water from the river, so we can clean their cuts," said Ashley as she looked up. Nathan did as he was told.
"I'll go and gather some firewood from the forest," said Nicole
"You don't want to leave him, do you?" asked Ellamon after everybody else had left
"No, I don't," said Ashley, "He reminds me of my past in the human world. Of my parents, my friends, and even my enemies. Those things bring me back memories of my childhood."
"Yes that, but you forgot the most important thing," said Ellamon, "You like that boy."
"Well," said Ashley as she blushed, "That's not the main point." Ellamon just stood there and laughed
"I better check the others," said Ashley, "I mean he did tell me to look after them as well."
Ashley bent down and checked to see how badly hurt Takuya and Kouichi were. They weren't that badly damaged. Takuya was perfectly fine, except for some bruises and cuts, but Kouichi had a broken wrist. Ashley did her best to make a cast out of the sticks and leaves around the clearing. "I never knew he had a twin," said Ashley to nobody in particular
"You know, you didn't even talk to him or knew he existed until your last day in the real world," said Nathan who just came back in time to hear Ashley's last remark
"Well, that's true, but that's not the point," said Ashley
"It's really obvious that you like him," said Nathan as he dropped the leaves on the floor, "Especially obvious since I heard you talk about how cute you thought he was with Celeste."
"You mean, you were eavesdropping on me?" asked Ashley with a frown
"Well, I was just worried about you since that incident, I just had to see if you were ok. When I went outside, I heard that by accident."
"You are right, I do like him, and I'm not going to deny it," said Ashley as she got up and returned to Koji's side.
Nicole and Joey returned with the water and firewood, soon they got a whole fire started. "Here," said Joey as he passed Ashley a wooden bucket full of the water he got from the river. "Thanks," said Ashley as she took a handkerchief from her pocket and wetted it in the water.
Few minutes later, they got the 3 wounded warriors cleaned up.
"You know, I would've never thought that they were such weaklings to be beaten by Rhodomon," said Joey as he took a meat apple from the fire.
"Me neither," said Nicole, "I thought the original digidestines were stronger than we were, since we were new at this."
"Hey, give the poor guys a break. They were probably just caught off guard," said Nathan, "What do you think Ash?"
"Huh?" asked Ashley who was daydreaming while looking at Koji's sleeping form to notice their conversation.
"You know, you make it so obvious," said Joey with a sigh and a head shake, "I mean even I can see it! And I'm clueless most of the time."
"Well, he is cute," said Nicole as she looked up from the fire and looked at Koji, "that's for sure."
"He's smart and caring too, but too bad he and his brother were split up when they were little," said Ashley sadly as she gazed into the fire.
"How did you know all that?" asked Nathan curiously, "Like I said before, you didn't even know him until the last day!"
"Well, I have my ways," said Ashley with a pause, "I heard a lot about him over the years from listening to annoying girl's gossips about cute guys in school. He's one of the most popular topics of our conversation. I can certainly see why after I met him."
"Ash, you are obsessed," said Nathan with a weird look, "I've never seen you like this, even when you were going out with all those guys."
"What do you mean *all those guys*? I've only went out with 2 guys in my entire life!" defended Ashley
"Well, that's a lot, according to me," said Nathan with an innocent look. Joey and Nicole gave him a weird look, because they always thought that he was a really popular guy in school who had dozens of girl friends.
"What?" said Nathan, "I had a lot of things to do. I didn't have time for girls."
"Whatever," said Nicole and Joey together
"I hope they get better soon," said Ashley quietly as she looked down on the ground
Everybody turned to look at her. "Don't worry, they will," said Ellamon who was on Nicole's lap
"I hope so," said Ashley quietly
"What happened?" said Takuya quietly as he struggled to get up, "I remembered Rhodomon attacking us and then it all went blank."
"You passed out and my sister saved you guys," said Nathan as he went over to check to see if Takuya was alright
"Ah, thanks?" said Takuya as he rubbed the back of his head, "Where did you guys come from? I thought there were only 6 of us."
"We came from the real world just like you," said the annoyed Joey, "What kind of question was that?"
"I don't know, but it wasn't the smartest one that I've heard," said Kouichi as he tried to sit up using his injured arm for support, "Oww, I didn't realize I had a broken arm."
"Well, you do now," said Ashley with a smile, "You better leave it for a while, because it won't not heal properly if you Keep touching it, and if it doesn't, you can probably never use that arm again."
"You sure know how to scare a guy," said Kouichi with a soft smile
"Where's Koji?" asked Takuya
"Is he alright?" asked the shocked/worried Kouichi
"He'll be fine, now back to bed for the 2 of you," said Ellamon from behind the fire
"Who are you?" asked Kouichi politely
"I'm Ellamon, the guardian of these digidestines."
"She's the coolest digimon in the world," said Nicole with a smile, "She know about everything."
"That sounds like the female version of Bokumon," said Takuya as he got up, and received death glares from Ashley, Nicole and Ellamon, "What? You can't expect us to go to bed on an empty stomach."
"He does have a point," said Koji as he woke up as well, "That sounds just like Takuya."
"Hey, you're alright," said Kouichi as he gave his brother a kind smile
"We were worried for a second there," said Nathan who gave Ashley a really funny look. Ashley just sat there and blushed.
"So? What are your names?" asked Takuya
"Oh, sorry," said Nicole apologetically, "We forgot to introduce our selves."
"I'm Takuya and that's Kouichi and the other one is Koji."
"Nathan and Ashley already knows me," said Koji as he got up
"And he knows us too," said Nathan, "But for the rest of you, I'm Nathan, that's Ashley, Nicole and Joey."
"When was the last time I saw you guys?" asked Koji
"It was 2 months ago," said Ashley with a pause, "That was probably the worst day of my life."
"Were those singing telegrams bugging you?" asked Koji was a smirk
Ashley gave him a death glare, "Don't mention it, that was the stupidest thing in the world." Said Ashley as she gave Nathan a death glare too, apparently still haven't forgiven him for sending her one
"Hey! It wasn't just me! Celeste, Michael and Stephen sent you one too," protested Nathan
"What did happen that day?" asked Nicole, "You said you would tell us later, but you never did."
"Well, it was a long story," said Nathan as he started the story, "Like usual Ashley was late that morning."
"What do you mean like usual?" asked Ashley, "That was only the 5th time I was late in my entire life."
"I'm trying to tell a story here," said Nathan who didn't feel like arguing with his sister, "Anyways, like I was trying to say before. It was like any other day to start with. What we didn't know was that it was the Telegram Day, it's a school thing. Few weeks ago when we heard that the telegrams were on sale, Ash told us that she definitely didn't want one, because she thought that it would be embarrassing to receive one, but me and my friends thought that she just said that to get us to buy her one."
"And I did not want one, just for the record," said Ashley, "Half way through our first class, they were starting to deliver those telegrams, and I just happened to get 2 of them."
Koji smiled, "I remembered that. It was funny, but your face was as red as a tomato."
"That was the most horrifying experience in my entire life," said Ashley, "Remind me to never go back to school again, because I don't want to face the crowd after what happened at lunch."
"What happened?" asked Joey
"I caught my so-called boyfriend cheating on me with Nelly Ly!" said Ashley angrily, "Don't know what I saw in him.'
"Aww, I'm sorry," said Nicole
"Don't be," said Nathan, "She never even liked him anyways."
"Well, no more than a friend," said Ashley, "I didn't want to say no to him when he asked me out cause he was my friend and I didn't want to hurt his feelings."
"But that was just making things worse, because you were just playing around with his feelings," said Koji, "If you really liked that person as a friend, you really should've respected his feelings and told him the truth. Lying to him is worse than rejecting him."
"It's true, but objecting your best friend and facing that person every day would be a bit awkward," said Nathan
"Maybe so," said Koji, "But I'll stick with my opinion."
Ashley sighed. She definitely wasn't making a good impression on the guy she really liked. Now she just wished that he doesn't hate her.

Well, I finally updated it. Plz read and review, if I get lots of reviews, I'll update sooner!
"Elemental Crash!" yelled Nitemon as the fire, water, wind, and earth elements surrounded the blade of her sword. She struck Rhodomon with the blade and cut it in half.
"Whoa, talk about power," said Koji as he struggled to get up. Nitemon used her digivice to scan Rhodomon's data. "Let's hope this'll be the end of you," said Nitemon with a sigh, "I really hate doing this," said Nitemon as she returned to her original form.
