The 2nd Digi-Phase
Chapter 1: Now and Then
'Ever since the defeat of MaloMyotismon everyone seemed happy. We all got back to our parents safely and when everyone asked us about what had happened and why it had happened we told them the truth. Some didn't belive us and some thought it was just an excuse that the universal government had made up after taking all of us kids hostage or using us as experiments. Those who did belive us asked if they could have their own Digimon too but we told them only the Digital World and the beings in charge of finding people to protect it could choose who should have a Digimon. It was a long, hard fight but we had won.
'The children that were abducted by Owikawa felt so good about themselves afterwards that they didn't want to be like Ken Ichijouji anymore. They just wanted to be themselves. It was wonderful to see them all so happy. But then came something we hadn't expected.
'Gennai came to us all and told us he had to close the gate to the Digital World where it wouldn't open to any kind of Digivice or D-3. We had to say good-bye to our Digimon and leave them all in the Digital World. There were many tearful good-byes, mostly by younger Digidestined from around the world but it surprised me to see Ken crying over having to leave Wormmon. Okay! So it didn't really surprise me to see him cry. Wormmon was crying too but telling Ken to be strong. Ken really isn't one to be strong, he's too gentle.
'As for me and Veemon, we just said our good-byes but told eachother we'd see eachother again someday, and I'm sure we will. I didn't really cry but I could feel the tears slowly work their way down my cheek when Veemon looked up at me with his big tear-filled eyes.
'All the other Digidestined and Digimon said their good-byes and sent their Digimon back to the Digital World, then returned to their own home. That was 10 years ago. Now, we all go to college, even Cody! Ken lives only a couple blocks away from Tamachi University and can come home everyday, if he isn't busy. I, on the other hand, also decided I wanted to go to Tamachi University but have to stay there all week and can only come home on the weekends but the Ichijouji's usually let me come and have dinner with them. Every time I go back to his house his parents act as if he had been gone for years; I bet my parents are just glad to have me out of the house for 5 days a week.
'T.K. also goes to our collage but the others decided to stay in Odaiba(except for Mimi, she's still in New York). I see all the girls here and it reminds me so much of Kari. I haven't seen her in such a long time but I remember the last time I did. She is still so cute and--'
"Mr. Motomiya!" yelled a voice waking Davis from his thoughts. A few of the other students in the classroom giggled and snickered as their History Professor glared down at Davis. "Mr. Motomiya, is there something more interesting out that window than the real world's history?"
"N-no, sir." replied Davis sheepishly.
"Then I suggest you start paying attension and maybe you might learn something." said the Professor. Then he went on about their history lesson but Davis was soon off in his own little world again, thinking of what happened so long ago.
"Mr. Motomiya," said Professor Yuki, again waking Davis from his daydreams, "what is your goal in life? What is the thing you've always wanted to do with your life?"
Davis was quite shocked at this strange question but he answered it anyway, "Besides getting out of school, I've always wanted to own a noodle cart and sell the best noodles in the whole wide world!" exclaimed Davis sincerly. All the kids in the class giggled except for T.K. who just rolled his eyes.
'Ken would've taken me serious if he was in this class.' thought Davis glaring at his peers.
"Well," said Mr. Yuki, thinking Davis was just trying to be a smart mouth, "why don't you write a 5 page essay on the history of food catering since it seems to interest you so much that you would want that job for a living."
Davis' bottom jaw dropped as he sputtered out, "But th-that not fair!"
"Mr. Motomiya, don't make it a 10 page essay. It's due tomorrow. Maybe that will keep you awake in my class." Davis glared at his Professor as he walked back up to the front of the class.
'I can't belive this! He has no right to give me extra work!' thought Davis,'Oh, well. I guess I shouldn't look out the window.... It's his fault I look out the window! He's the one who assigned me this seat!'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Hey! Ken!" yelled Davis waving Ken over where him and T.K. were standing in the hall.
"Hello, Davis. Hello, T.K." said Ken stepping up to them. Ken had changed a lot since their last fight in the Digital World. His hair was longer but only sightly and he was a little more muscular. He also had a few other changes in his life. The girls still went after him a lot but he put them all in disappointment when he lied to them and told them he had a girlfriend. When they asked who it was, he would tell them he had met her off the internet but only his close friends, the Digidestined, knew the truth, "Do you think you might want to come over for dinner at my parent's house?"
"I don't know...." said T.K. quietly. T.K. had changed a lot too. He was socialable when there weren't many people around but he was a quiet as Matt when it came to huge crowds. He had stopped wearing hats and had begun to work on his muscles a lot more even though he wasn't the tough type of person. T.K. wants to be a writer and everyone supports him in his dream even if writing isn't always the best choice of a career.
"Come on, T.C! We can all go over to Ken's house and you both can help me on my essay!" said Davis.
"You have an essay? What's it on?" asked Ken.
"It's on the history of food catering." answered Davis. Ken just raised one eyebrow and said, "I'm not even going to ask."
"Trust me, you don't want to." snickered T.K.
Davis ignored this comment and went on, "So T.K. are you coming?"
"Well,... I guess." he said.
"Great! Are you sure your parents don't mind?" asked Davis turning towards Ken.
"Of course not. Davis, you come over, at the least, once a week. Do you think they'd just out of the blue begin to mind?"
"I guess not. Well, I guess we'll see you then." said Davis.
"Right. Now, if you two will excuse me, I need to get to my next class." said Ken politely excusing himself and began to walk off into the crowd.
"Alright. Just don't over-work yourself with those law classes." said T.K. as Ken walked off. That's right, Ken was taking law classes. He wants to be a detective or a secret agent of some sort. 'At least he doesn't want to be a noodle cart owner' thought T.K. chuckling.
"Come on, T.K! We'll be late for class!" shouted Davis and he began to walk to his culinary arts class. He still needed to learn how to perfect the recipe for the best noodles....
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Oh, T.K! I'm so glad you decided to come and visit." said Mrs. Ichijouji as she let them all in, "You haven't been over for years."
"It's been about 10 years, hasn't it?" said T.K, "Sorry. I've just been having trouble making time for a lot of things."
"We're glad you could make it. Dinner will be ready in an hour. Ken, why don't you take your friends and hang out in your room for a while?" suggested Mrs. Ichijouji.
"That's just where we were going. We've all got homework we need to work on." said Ken leading the way to his room. As they passed a room T.K. noticed he could hear a piano being played from inside it. He stoped and looked inside and saw a small boy around the age of 8 sitting on a bench playing a difficult piece of music on the piano. The boy had dark purple hair and dark blue eyes like Ken but his hair was a little spikey and he wore a green shirt and jean shorts. Jinji was another one of thoes changes in Ken's life.
"T.K., what is it?" asked Davis looking in, "Oh, you don't know Jinji, do you?"
"Jinji? Is that Jinji?" asked T.K. perplexed. He had heard Ken talk about Jinji before, but he didn't really know who he was.
"Oh, that's right. T.K., I want you to meet him." said Ken leading them in, "Jinji, I want you to meet someone." The little boy turned around and faced them. Davis had already met him and thought he looked like a little Ken. Jinji had the dark purple hair and the deep blue eyes but he seemed a little more innocent at times with his frequent smiles.
"Jinji, I want you to meet T.K. T.K., this is Jinji, my little brother." said Ken. Yes, it was true, Ken's parents had decided they wanted another kid and that's what they got. Since Jinji was born after the last fight of the Digidestined his parents had asked Ken to keep the Digimon and the Digital World a secret from Jinji and he did. The closest Jinji had gotten to the Digital World was coloring pictures of the Digimon that Ken had drawn for him. Jinji thought that they were just pretend animals that Ken had made up and that's the only thing Jinji thinks of them.
T.K. himself was surprised to see Ken's little brother. Even though Ken had told them about him, he had never met his little brother in person. He wasn't listening when Ken told him that his little brother was the Jinji he had often talked about. Davis had met Jinji a long time ago when Jinji was only a baby and Davis came around so often that Davis was almost a brother to Jinji. Almost as close a brother as Ken.
"Hello, Jinji." said T.K. smiling.
"Hello, T.K. Ken tells me a lot about you." said Jinji. Jinji's voice was more of a cross between Ken's and Sam's voice and it fit him just right.
"I've heard about you too, only I didn't know you were into music." said T.K.
"Oh, I just like to play the piano." said Jinji blushing, "It's nothing really."
"Actually, I think you're really good. My brother, Matt, plays the guitar. He's always liked music too."
"Thank you. I'd like to meet your brother someday." said Jinji.
"I'll introduce you when we're all out of college for the summer." said T.K.
"That sounds great!" exclaimed Jinji.
"Okay, Jin, we've gotta go work now. You keep practicing, okay?" said Ken.
"Alright." said Jinji turning back to his piano and started playing again as if nothing had ever stopped him.
"Your brother is very good." said T.K. as they walked out the door and towards Ken's room.
"Yeah. Jin has been practicing ever since he was 5." said Davis.
"Jin want's to grow up and be a famous composer so he started playing the piano." explained Ken.
"Tell him to keep it up!" said T.K., "And then he'll surly be a composer!"
"Are we gonna talk about Jinji all night, or are we going to work?" asked Davis pulling out his spiral notebook, "So, Ken, when do you think food catering was invented?"
