I am so very sorry this chapter is so late, one because I couldn't log on to ff.net for a week and two, I was on vacation with no Internet access for another week. Anyway...I back!

Hey, guess what fans! This is the last chapter of Faith in a Spirit. I can't believe I'm finally working it. I hope you all enjoy it. I know I enjoyed writing it. Please read and review this!

Last Disclaimer: For the last time, I do not own digimon except MY O/C's, Jen Armara, Niaramon, and Litearamon.

I like to give out some thank yous:

To Dragons Star: *big hug* you been there since the beginning, and thank you for giving me the little tidbits and advice. It came in handy.

To Blackout12: Thank you for nice, sweet ratings, and comments.

To Cherry: Thank you even if you only reviewed once, your opinion is greatly appreciated.

To Lavos, The Time Apocalyps: My newest Reviewer, thank you. And to answer your question, I didn't put Lucemon in the story, because like I said many times before, I have not yet seen Lucemon in the series, and with his presence it will just confuse me, greatly. So sorry, but that's my reason.

There is a slight warning here; the rating will go up a little. I just have to do this one thing.

3...2...1...Begin!

Faith in a Spirit

Chapter 13: Epilogue

4 years. It has been that long our encounter with the digital world, I kind of miss becoming Lobomon, how it felt merging with the spirit. It felt like I was reborn. The others don't really talk about it much anymore, even though I know they miss it too. We all became close friends and I found out I have a brother.

Everyone nowadays has found someone and is now spending most of his or her time with him or her. I knew Kouichi and Zoë would get together, he hasn't stopped talking about her. It's getting kind of annoying but all in all I'm happy for them. In fact every one of us, digidestined, has someone to be with, except me though.

Yeah, people have tried to pair me up with pretty girls, but none of them ever sparked anything in me. There has been only one person who sparked anything, but I bet has forgotten everything by now. Where are you? I'm waiting...

As Jen sat, lying with her back against the hot roof. This was the perfect where she could escape the hassle of the real world. As the black- haired girl stared up at the big blue sky, she couldn't help but think about the digital world and all the creatures in it. It had been four years since she became Niaramon and helped saved the world from the evil Cherubimon. Jen mused on what her life would have been like if she never had followed the strange voice. 'What would have happened if I didn't meet the other children?' Jen was lucky to have known such good friends.

But now, four years later, Jen was in 10th grade and in high school, she also got a guardian from the orphanage so she wouldn't be as lonely. Again, Jen was the popular girl in school, but that didn't matter. All she wanted was for someone special to be near her. She had thought Kouji was the one, but she had not seen or heard from him or any of the others in four years, she finally gave up and decided that they all had found somebody and had forgotten all about her. This hurt her the more she thought about, she tried to forget.

Jen...

There was a faint voice calling her name, but Jen was too deep in thought to hear it.

Jennifer.

There was the voice again, but Jen was still to deep inside her mind to hear anything from the outside world.

"Jennifer Armara!"

That loud yell was the only thing that could wake Jen from her musings. She quickly bolted up, her long black hair sweeping behind her, blowing in the gentle breeze. It was Leah, her guardian; she was fun but also very serious. She was only about 25, but she still treated Jen as if she were 5 years old. Jen got tired of it, but still appreciated her company.

"What is it, Leah?" yawned Jen.

"I news from the orphanage, about your birth parents, both good and bad." Leah said proudly, but her voice softened as she came to the end.

"Tell me Leah, please." Shouted Jen, sounding almost desperate.

"First the good news. The orphanage was able to track down the whereabouts of your birth parents and we found out they lived in Tokyo for sometime, they just couldn't bare to stay in Kyoto after they had to give you up, because they couldn't support you."

"Where are they now?" shouted Jen as she tugged at Leah's arms as she helped the black haired teenager down from the roof.

"Well... that's the bad news, you see they were killed in a fire that happened suddenly about two years ago. I'm sorry we tell you sooner but we just didn't know how to tell you, after what happened to the Armara's." Leah said her head lowered.

Jen was shocked, she wanted to be angry with them for not telling her, but she could let it out. All Jen could do is let a small teardrop fall down her cheek at the thought of losing her family again. She collapsed in Leah's arms crying. Leah led Jen to her room and laid her down on her bed.

At that moment, Jen bolted up and turned to face Leah with a tear- stained face. "I want to go to Tokyo. I have to see them." Jen said determined.

Thinking Jen meant her parents' gravesites, Leah simply nodded and handed Jen a piece of paper, saying, "This is address where they were staying and this is their gravesites."

Jen nodded and quickly packed a couple of suitcases for a long stay. Leah ran down stairs and grabbed the phone calling the Star Circle Hotel for Jen's reservation. By the time she got off, Jen was already at the door. Leah ran to her and gave her the address, they hugged goodbye, and wished both of them good luck.

Jen almost ran to the subway station. It seemed to take forever, but she was finally in Tokyo again. Quickly, Jen found and checked in to the fancy five-star hotel. After all that, Jen wanted to go see what's left of her would be home. She walked slowly, however, did she really want to see what awaited her or was there another reason she came to Tokyo.

Jen walked through the park thinking...

((Meanwhile))

In a secluded area, six teens hung out talking and playing where no one could see. A couple of them were hiding in bushes wanting more privacy while being with their girlfriend/boyfriend. One couple sat at a lake's edge with their feet dipped in the cool water. Their hands were entwined and the girls' blonde head rested upon the dark-haired boys' strong chest.

"Kouichi," mumbled the blonde sleepily.

"Hmm."

"Is there anyone else who we can pair up with your brother? He seems to be getting more distant everyday." Said the worried blonde looking over her love's shoulder at Kouji who leaned against looking just as he did four years ago.

Kouichi tilted Zoë's head up. "I think his thoughts are still on Jen. Us, bringing in other girls for him is just making that painful memory of her leaving resurface."

"I guess, I'm just worried about him." Said Zoë sadly.

Kouichi, in turn, wrapped his arms around her comforting her, and placing a small kiss on her forehead.

From Kouji's view from behind them, his brother looked to be as happy as he was in the digital world, while still with Jen. Jen. He was still waiting for her come back so he could tell how he really felt. He tried to tell her a couple of summers ago but evidently ran out of time, and before he knew it she was back in Kyoto going to school.

Suddenly, something made everyone jump. JP and Takuya popped their heads up from the bushes along with their girlfriends.

"Hey did you guys hear that noise?" asked Takuya.

"What noise?" questioned Tommy, who raised head above the water from swimming.

It was a muffled sigh, though they could still hear it clearly. They could tell someone was close. All of them moved closer to the sound, until they all peeked their heads out from a bush. From there all they could see was the main path of the park, but as they looked to the right.

There was a young girl, about sixteen, sitting on a marble park bench. They couldn't see her face because longs strands of shining black hair that flowed down her back in waves hid her face. She was tall and very pretty.

Even though they couldn't see who it was, Zoë gasped and smiled. Just then she got up and out of the bush against everyone's soft pleas not to. She walked up to the girl and tapped her on the shoulder. The girl jumped, evidently from minor shock, and turned to her up to look at who tapped her. She gasped.

"Zoë?!" she whispered.

"I knew that you...Jen. It's been a long time."

Jen stood up and everyone saw that it was she. Zoë and Jen embraced each other to rekindle their almost forgotten friendship. Jen backed up and saw that they had an audience. It was all the chosen children plus two more strange girls behind JP and Takuya, whom both had messed up hair. Jen surpressed back a giggle, at the thought of what they were doing.

Everyone greeted her, and they talked for a long time. Jen told that she was moving here to be closer to her biological parents, and they all congratulated her. Kouji's heart jumped inside his chest knowing Jen was moving here. Eventually it got late, and they all forgot about the time. All of them had to quickly go home. Jen smiled at the thought they all had someone special but still never forgot their friendship. Soon she was all alone in the park just as the sun was setting beneath the horizon.

She started to walk out of the park, but stopped when she felt a firm yet gentle hand grasp her wrist. Jen turned to see Kouji, looking, in her opinion, more handsome then ever. She turned to face, and had to tilt her head up a little because he had grown since the last time she saw him.

Obvious Kouji wanted to say something, but couldn't get it out. Jen wanted to help. So, she squeezed both his hands gently taking some pressure, making him relax.

Dark blue eyes locked with sparkled blue ones. Jen could still see Kouji was nervous. She leaned over and whispered, "If you can't tell me something, then show me instead." Jen then leaned back and saw his eyes shining against the setting sun. He smiled.

He wrapped his arms around Jen's waist slowly. He started to lean towards her. Knowing what was going to happen, she closed her eyes letting him lead and slowly snaked her arms around his neck entangling her hands in his hair.

Leaning more closely, their lips met in a tender, innocent first kiss. Soon that kiss became more passionate as his tongue ran along her bottom lip seeking entrance and she accepted and he dove into her month and danced with her tongue. After about a minute or two, the two broke apart, breathless. They stared at each other for a while longer.

Jen smiled leaned towards Kouji and whispered, "I love you too."

Kouji stood there in shock and joy at the same time. He hugged her even tighter and she did the same. They eventually let go and Kouji was the first to speak.

"Um...Hey, can I walk you home?"

"I would like that very much, thank you."

"Jen, I love you."

"I know."

And from that day on nothing could break them apart. Jen eventually came out of the hotel and found an apartment closer to the public school where she was going. It was also closer to where everyone else lived. Jen even visited her parents' graves whenever she could. She knew everything would be all right now. She had everything she needed: family, friends, and most importantly love.
