Chapter 10: A Dream of a best friend

*At Koushirou's house*

Sumi and Yamato had a talk in the balcony while the others were discussing about other stuffs. The Tamers sat around watching them. Kenta was trying to imitate them as they spoke. Ryo could not help laughing. Jyou introduced Muriko to them. Kenta was too shock to see two Marine Angemons at the same place in the same time but he was disappointed to see Muriko's Marine Angemon able to speak fluently in their language. He sighed at the sight of his Marine Angemon. Koushirou wondered how Sumi and Muriko were chosen as a digidestinated. Muriko claimed that she had never seen battles of digimon. Marine Angemon explained that Muriko was the couples' digidestinated. Either she had gone through a battle with her love or she was chosen because her boy needed her help or both. Her power will be stronger only if her love tried to help her out through anyway whether he was present with her or not. For Sora and Yamato, although they were couples but they were not couples' digidestinated. Their powers could be strong even if they were not there for each other as they only know each other after they were chosen.

"So she was chosen because she went through the battle with Jyou?" askes Iori.

"Actually, I was calling for her. I was hoping that she can help us." Jyou admitted.

"So, both of you are couples." Takeru smiled at both of them who were blushing. Koushirou was imagining he and Sumi being a couples' digidestinated.

"Yamato, you got to be careful." She finally told him. Looking out at the night scenery, Yamato sighed.

"He told me to tell you right?" Sumi nodded her head.

"I should have remembered you. I had seen you two years ago. Maybe, your hairstyle changed. Your hair used to be blonde in colour but now it is hazel brown. You used to ask Taichi out for a date."

"You tagged along." Sumi scolded him.

"Because he asked me to..."

*Flashback*

Two years ago, after school, Sumi was wearing a white hat waiting outside Odaiba High for Taichi. She wanted to be secretive since she did not want Sora to know she was here in Japan. Her hair was blonde then. Yamato and Taichi walked out of the school. Yamato was laughing at the jokes Taichi cracked.

"Hi!" Sumi greeted him. Yamato's eyes widened. He was afraid that it was another fans chasing after him like Daisuke's sister Jun did.

"You are that girl who was knocked by Hikari!" Taichi exclaimed. Taichi apologized to her about Hikari destroying her camera. He wanted to compensate her. Sumi refused. All she wanted was to have a date with him before she went back to England. Yamato stood there looking surprised that Taichi got himself a girl.

"I shouldn't be surprised." Yamato scolded himself. Taichi agreed to go out with Sumi.

"Yamato, come along with us." Taichi called. Sumi was fuming.

"How stupid can he be?" she thought. Yamato could read her mind.

"No, I think I better go." Taichi stopped him.

"Please help me. I'm afraid that I'm going to ruin the date for her. You know how to handle girls. So, please!" Taichi begged of him. Yamato agreed reluctantly.

"Can't believe you got a girlfriend." Yamato teased Taichi as he blushed.

The three of them went to a fun fair. Sumi wanted to catch fishes. Sumi could not catch any. Yamato urged Taichi to hold her hands. Taichi blushed again. He finally built up his courage to hold her hands. They caught many fishes in the end. They ride on roller coaster whereby Taichi was scared out his wit and was puking in the toilet. Yamato was laughing and teasing him. "Some friend you are!" he muttered. Sumi was also laughing. Taichi blushed whenever he looked at her. Yamato already sensed that he liked Sumi.

*End flashback*

"He is an idiot." Yamato grumbled. Sumi laughed.

Meanwhile, Ryo was looking at Yamato and Sumi wondering what was going on between them. Takato walked over to him,

"They are talking about the past." He told Ryo.

"She is a couples' digidestinated too." He added.

"What? With who? Koushirou?" Ryo imagined Koushirou and Sumi fighting against evil digimon and he shook his head.

"Koushirou doesn't suit Sumi at all." He whispered to Takato. Takato giggled.

"Do you know that if we help the digidestinated, we will end up being in "the show" too?" Takato asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Ryo replied.

"I had never seen "the show", I'm in Digital world then." He continued.

"I had seen you in "the show" with Ken." Takato told Ryo.

************

"How is he?" Yamato asked.

"I'm sure you seen him have you?" Sumi nodded her head.

"He looked haggard to me. He was no longer cheerful as before and he suffered so much." Sumi squatted and started crying.

"Where is he then? Let's get him out." Yamato stared into space.

"I'm planning to get him out with Agumon. Once he is reunited with Taichi, he'll be able to digivolve and fight Daemon."

"Oh great! Count me in!"

"No, if Daemon captured you, there is no way we can win." Sumi cried. Yamato looked at her wiping off her tears.

"Ok, ok, but make sure you get him out." Yamato cheered her up. Sumi nodded her head.

"What are you going to reject Koushirou?" he realized that Koushirou liked Sumi too.

"I'll see. I don't want to hurt him either." She stood up.

"Do it fast and try not to hurt him. It was the first time Koushirou is in love with someone." Yamato encouraged her.

*************

Sora was feeling jealous looking at Yamato touching Sumi's face. Koushirou was sulking too. The tamers patted them reassuring them that there was nothing between Sumi and Yamato.

*************

That night, Yamato dreamt of Taichi.

"Yamato." Taichi called for him. Yamato turned around and saw him.

"I finally get to see you." Yamato cried.

"You knew about Daemon already right?" Taichi asked him.

"Yeah! Your girl told me. I sensed your life power during the battle. I just don't want to destroy them."

"Daemon sucked my life power trying to see whether you all will fight and kill me as well." Taichi smiled at Yamato weakly.

"Kill the digimon he sent. Don't worry about me. All he wants is my arrow of light and your arrow of hope. He won't kill me yet." Taichi faded.

Yamato woke up thinking about the dream.

"I'll promise you that I'll be careful and destroy all digimon he sent."
