Annoying Lawyer- THIS IS COPYRIGHT VIOLATION!

Renamon- DIAMOND STORM!

What's left of Annoying Lawyer-Ouch!

Rika-Like I was saying, she doesn't own digimon. Is that clear?

Henrika- Hee, hee, hee. (Laughing at disclaimer) Hey everyone. First let me clarify some stuff. I only wanted my review counter to go to 30, meaning I only wanted ten reviews. So don't be discouraged! This time I am just asking for everyone to review! So PLEASE REVIEW! Also, I finally saw Princess Mononoke! It's pronounced mon-a-no-ke. That is one of the coolest animes I've ever seen and I highly recommend it. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter!

Thanks to all my reviewers for last chapter!

Chapter 5

"How could he have disappeared? He isn't a magician you know!" Takato yelled as Jeri tried to comfort him. They were at Guilmon's hideout. Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta, Marine Angemon, Ryo, Monodramon, and Terriermon were also there. Terriermon had had Suzie call the meeting before she left with the rest of the Wong family to search for Henry.

"Calm down Takato. Henry will be alright." Jeri said as she put an arm around his shoulders. 'I hope.' She thought as she bit her lip to keep from saying it.

"Anyone seen Rika?" Ryo asked, almost nervously.

"Hey Ryo, how did you get that bandage on your face?" Kenta asked curiously.

"Uh. Um. Hmm." Ryo stammered.

"He tried to kiss me and got my door instead!" Rika said as she came into the shelter, Renamon trailing behind her.

Kazu's face fell. "So you didn't get it in some heroic battle that we missed?"

"No." Ryo answered.

"Ahem." Terriermon said from the corner. Everyone turned to look at him. "We still have the matter that my partner is MISSING!"

"Terriermon," Renamon said calmly, "what is that paper in your hand?"

"Henry left three things when he left, wherever he went. He left a note for his family, a note for all of us, and his d-power." Terriermon said as he held up the latter two. Rika took them from him, clipped the digivice to her belt, and opened the letter.

"Dear Tamers and Digimon," Rika started reading, "I'm sorry. I just couldn't live the lie of my life anymore. I've gone someplace where I can be alone. I'll be fine. Don't try to come after me. Just enjoy your lives and know that I'll always be your friend. Good luck to everyone. Henry."

"What did he mean by living a lie?" Kenta asked after a moment off stunned silence had passed over the group.

"You can ask him that when we find him." Rika said as she got up.

"Rika, he asked us not to come after him." Ryo pointed out.

"I don't care. He's my friend."

"Look, we're all friends, but."

"But what?" Rika yelled.

"We don't even know where to start looking." Ryo said firmly.

"I know where he is." Calumon said, his voice bouncing with excitement. Everyone looked shocked except for Rika and the digimon.

"You're right." Guardromon added when he realized what was going on.

"Hey ya big lunk head, why don't ya tell the rest of us what's going on!" Kazu yelled as he shook his fists.

"Guilmon?" Takato turned toward his partner.

Guilmon looked thoughtful for a moment, like when he was trying to decide between Guilmon bread with peanut butter or a jar of peanut butter, usually picking both. "The digital world." Guilmon said after a moment.

"That means we'll have to find a digital gate." Jeri stated.

"Yeah! Wait, does anyone know where one is?" Kenta asked.

Blank stares were exchanged around the shelter. "How could Henry have gotten there if there wasn't a gate?" Kazu asked.

"Terriermon?" Renamon asked the small, thinking digimon in the corner. "What is it?"

"Well, when we got home last night I remember that there was a bunch of clicking coming from his room. I think it was his computer." Terriermon added.

"You don't think?" Rika said as they all stared at each other.

"Let's go." Takato said.

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

Within a few minutes, the group had made their way to the Wong apartment.

"Uh, how are we supposed to get in?" Takato sweat dropped as they realized the door was locked.

"No problem." Terriermon said, as he knocked on the door three times in an odd pattern.

"Terriermon?" Lopmon said from the other side.

"Yep, its me. Open up!" There was some muffled noise from the other side, then the door swung open, Lopmon having turned the handle with her ear.

"Angry kid! What are you doing here?" Suzie asked as she walked into the room.

"I thought you were out with your parents!" Terriermon said.

"Uh-uh. They left me here in case Henry came back." Suzie answered.

"Hey Suzie, do you want to know a secret?" Rika asked as she knelt down in front of the girl.

Suzie's face brightened. "Yeah!"

Rika smiled one of her rare smiles. "Good. We're going to go to the digital world and find Henry. We need you to keep watching for him here in case we don't find him there."

"Oh, Ok." Suzie said. The group walked down the hall to Henry's room. Rika booted up the computer. To their surprise, a digital gate formed on the screen the second Rika's hand left the ON button.

"Well, that was easy." Takato said.

"Everybody ready?" Rika said as she moved back, pulling her D-power off her belt.

"Yeah!"

"Good Luck! Bring back my brother!" Suzie yelled as the tamers disappeared into the gate.

Henrika-Yea! I think this is the longest chapter I've written yet! I'm not sure how many more chapters I'm going to have. When my files got deleted, I lost everything except my next two fics, which I've been writing in my spiral notebook. Tell me what you thought of this chapter, no flames! I will try to post the next chapter when I get either 10 reviews or whenever I feel like it. So review!
