Disclamer- I don't own digimon
The wind was gently going through the city as Takato sat at the park waiting for Lee to show up. He had got a call earlier telling him to meet Lee at the park at 1:00pm. It was currently 1:20pm and it wasn't like Lee to be late. He sat at the bench looking up at Guilamon's old house. He smiled at the memories and wished he could go see him and the rest of the digimon again. He then heard a voice behind him and he immediately recognized it as Lee's.
"Hey Lee where've you been?" He turned around and saw Lee. "Is something wrong?"
"Huh?" He shook out of his daze and smiled. "Sorry I'm late I ran into Rika on the way here." He sat down next to him.
"Really? I talked to her last night and she said she would be with her mom all day on some fashion thing." Takato looked confused so a moment. "Well anyways what is it that you wanted to talk that was so important." He said in a sarcastic voice. Lee became quiet for a moment and then smiled.
"I finally asked Kat out. You know the girl who works over at the bookstore by my home." He face lit up.
Takato just looked at him. "Don't get me wrong I'm happy for you but that's what you called me out here for. I thought you were going to tell me you're moving away or something major." He let out a laugh and a sigh at the same time.
"No man you've been watching too much T.V." Lee joined him and patted him on the back and stood up. "We'll I got to go pick up my sister from piano you wanna come?"
Takato got up. "Can't I got to get back I promised my parents I get back asap and help with the baking." He waved and started heading toward his parent's bakery. Lee just stood there watching him run and shook his head. He then started walking north to go pick up his sister.
On the way to the bakery Takato passed by a shop with a collection of all kinds stuff in the window. He glanced at it and saw a locket in the shape of heart and got an idea. That was the perfect gift to get Ruki. Last year Takato finally managed to scrounge up the courage to ask her out and they have been going out for about 7months now but lately they haven't had time to see each other as frequently as they used to. He made a mental note to swing by tomorrow and buy it and then took off for the shop. Later that night Takato walked up the stairs and into his room. He was pretty tired from working all day by the stove making bread. He saw the bed and plopped down and closed his eyes.
A couple of blocks down a fairly attractive woman and her daughter came through the front door as well. The older woman took off her shows and faced her daughter. "Thanks for coming along Ruki, I know how much you hate these shows." Her daughter just smiled and headed for her room. She entered, changed to her sleeping attire (Yeah I know 'attire' use your imaginations). When she closed her eyes she heard a strange voice calling her name.
"Ruki.Ruki."
She got up and looked around. "Who's there?" She called out and heard her name again. "Its times like these I wish Renamon was still here." She quietly said to herself. Suddenly a strange figure in a brown cloak stood in the middle of the room. She stared with intensity. "Who are you?"
"You are the Key to light and darkness. Beware the door for it swings both ways."
"What? Who are you? What are talking about?" But just as she finished her question the hooded figure disappeared. She just laid back down totally confused on what was going on. So she did the only thing she could and went back to sleep.
The next day Takato was in that shop he passed by purchasing the locket from the window. The clerk handed him the bag and he thanked him and went on his way to meet Ruki. He walked up the steps to her home and knocked on the door. He stood eager to give her the present. He heard footsteps and the door finally opened.
"Hey Ruki." He smiled.
"Takato." She slightly smiled but was more surprised. "What are you doing here?" She stood there wearing her usual jeans and T-shirt.
"I told you I was coming over on the phone a couple of days ago remember silly." He laughed.
"Yeah that's right." She let him in. "So what Lee want, you told me he wanted to talk to you." She asked.
"Huh? Oh can you believe it, he drags me all the way out to the park to tell me he asked a girl out. You know the one he's been staring at in the bookstore." He scratched the back of his head. "Oh here's a little something I found yesterday that I just had to get you." He pulled a small wrapped gift from behind his back. She took it and just looked at it.
"I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything just open it." He said waiting to see her expression when she sees the locket. She carefully opened it and pulled out the locket. It was the most beautiful thing she ever saw. It was silver but it wasn't reflective and shiny. She loved it. She quickly hugged him and kissed him on the lips.
"Oh Takato I love it."
Holding her in his arms he just smiled. "Well you're welcome." Just then as fast as the burst of excitement came it went. She broke the embrace and looked at him and smiled. Takato sensed something was wrong, for a moment she looked sad.
"What's wrong?" He extended a hand to her. She hesitantly took it but soon ended up in his arms. She looked into his eyes. He could see her eyes water a bit. She was about to say something but the ground started to shift. The couple held on to each other for balance but both fell over.
Ruki was the first to get up. She looked around then back to Takato who had also got up. "Uh Takato where's my house?" They two were now standing in a field. Takato was about to answer when they both heard someone yell from about a hundred yards away.
"Hey Takato, Ruki is that you!" Both were kind of relieved, it was Lee. Takato waved back. Lee finally caught up with the two. "You guys okay?"
"Yeah, but what happened." Takato asked looking around. "One minute we were at Ruki's the next minute we're here."
"I don't know I just got here a few minutes ago too. Actually I was one my way to that village over there." Lee pointed over to a village about half a mile north of them.
"Sounds like a plan let's go." Ruki motioned and started to walk in that direction. Lee and Takato just looked at each other and followed. When they got there they found the place empty.
Takato turned to face Lee and Ruki. "Let's split up and search the place there might be someone here that could tell us where we are." The two nodded and they went in separate directions. Takato took a left turn and walked onto a strange patch of some sort covered with empty baskets. "I wonder what these are for."
On the opposite side of the town Lee found the exact same thing. He was just staring at them and then he noticed a shell piece in one of the baskets. He picked it up; it was white with blue stripes on it. He had only seen one type of egg like this before. "Could it be.. could it be a digimon egg. But then that means we're in the digital world." Suddenly he heard a female voice behind him.
"Why didn't you tell him?"
Lee smiled and put the eggshell in his pocket. "Because like you said yesterday it wasn't my business."
Ruki walked up and now faced him. "I'll repeat myself again. How come you didn't tell him?" She was determined to know. "Because I know it wasn't me that changed you're mind."
"Because its not my place to tell him. Its yours." He looked her in the eyes.
Back on the field Takato found a similar eggshell just like Lee. "We must be in the digital world because I'm positive this is a digimon egg." He then heard something to his right. He turned to face whatever it was. "Ruki? Lee?" Then a boy came out, he was wearing a blue jacket and a yellow shirt. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kouji. Who are you?" He walked closer.
"I'm Takato."
Meanwhile Lee and Ruki made there way back to the center of the village and soon met up with Takato and Kouji. Ruki decided to check out one of the huts while the boys remained outside taking about the situation. At that moment Taichi and his group showed up.
