Pairing(s): Kozumi, Koukou (brotherly), and a bit of Taikumi
Please do not read this fic if you are a Junpei (JP) fan. (contains Junpei bashing)
This fanfic takes place after three years after the defeat of Lucemon. Takuya, Izumi, Kouichi, and Kouji are all 14 and Junpei is 15. (Tomoki appears but he is only a minor character...he is 11)
This fic will only contain the Japanese character names.
Kouji = Kouji Kouichi = Kouichi Takuya = Takuya Zoe = Izumi JP = Junpei Tommy = Tomoki
Last time:
Suddenly, I sensed it. That dark aura. I still hadn't been able to figure out what it is, or who was creating it, but I had a feeling that it wasn't for the good. My D-tector beeped like crazy. I lifted Miku off my shoulders and settled her down, then ran off.
"Kouichi!" I heard the others call.
I looked at my spirits of Lowemon and Jagerlowemon. They were just as confused as I was. Suddenly, the ground became uneven and it swallowed me up. That was all I saw.
+++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter Seven - A Disturbed Heart
~Miku's P.o.V.~
I searched around worriedly for Kouichi. He seemed to have disappeared. The rest of them and me met back to the willow tree.
"Did any of you find him?" Kouji asked anxiously. We all shook our heads.
"Digidestineds." I watched as they all drew out a device awkwardly, as if reluctant to allow me to see it. I tried my best to give them a surprised look, but turned away all the same.
"It's Ophanimon," Junpei breathed. They others just whacked him on the head, nervously.
"Be at the Shibuya Station at 5:00 pm. Take the elevator to the basement. Some Trailmon will be there to pick you up." Then the voice faded.
"5:00 pm!!" Takuya complained, "But that only gives us 6 minutes."
"Trailmon?" I tried my best to give them a stupid look of confusion. Of course I knew what digimon were, even though I had never actually seen one. No one answered. Suddenly they all ran off. 'Well, they're not leaving me behind,' I thought to myself. With that, I ran after them. I thanked my own athletic build because within seconds, I had caught up to all, even Kouji, but I guess that didn't really count because he was breathlessly pushing Junpei with all his might.
"Miku..." Izumi started, "I don't really think you should come."
"Why not?" She didn't reply.
We arrived at Shibuya Station just in time. I stood in front of the elevator, uncertainly. The others didn't seem to want me to go. I sighed. Suddenly, a shadow appeared and pushed me in, just as the doors closed on us. I fell on Junpei, who thought I was Izumi.
He hugged me tightly, as he said, "No fears Izumi, I will protect you no matter what happens." Izumi whacked him on the head. He blinked stupidly, and then realized it was me, dropping me on the floor. I gasped for breath as Takuya helped me up.
~Tomoki's P.o.V.~
I did not think Miku was meant to come with us. So I asked Kouji. He shrugged in reply. All of us watched her awkwardly. Then the doors of the elevator opened.
~Takuya's P.o.V.~
I guessed since we had no way to send Miku back up, she would have no choice but to come with us.
"WHOO-A-WHOO!!" I heard the familiar sound of Trailmon.
"Nice to see you!" Izumi said as the doors were flung open. Angler grinned.
"This reminds me of the old times... when you guys needed help with Cherubimon," Angler tooted, "All aboard! It's a one way ride."
I stepped into the train, followed by Tomoki, Kouji, Izumi, Junpei and then Miku.
~Kouji's P.o.V.~
We all sat in an uncomfortable silence. 'Where are you, Kouichi?...' I wondered, worriedly, staring out the window. I fixed my gaze on Miku who wasn't as shocked or scared as I expected her to be. She wasn't even as confused as she should be. I narrowed my eyes, suspiciously.
"What's the matter?" I looked up to see Izumi looking at me. I didn't reply.
"Oh wow!" she suddenly exclaimed. I turned to see a cluster of Togemon. They were racing towards us.
"Welcome back, welcome back," they chorused happily. I smiled at them slightly.
"End of the Line," Angler screeched to a stop and dropped us all off. After we thanked him, he zoomed off across the distance. Suddenly, Ophanimon's symbol appeared on our D-tectors.
"Welcome to the Digital World again, Digidestined"
"Where are you? And why were we sent here?" I asked.
She sighed and explained, "A great evil has awoken once again. Over the past few months, many digimon have been corrupted and manipulated to serve evil. We are unable to trace the source but we have managed to pin point it in a part of the Dark Continent. As for your brother, Kouji..." I interrupted her intently.
"I know, he still in the Real World."
"No actually, he isn't. We were aware of Kouichi's arrival in the Digital World; however we do not know where he is." I gaped.
"He's here?" Everyone looked stunned.
"Yes. Angler was not supposed to drop you off where you were. He was supposed to take you directly to the gates of the Dark Continent." Ophanimon's said in a frustrated voice. "Will you kids be able to get there on your own?" We all nodded, while Miku stood dumbfounded.
"All right then, Digidestined. And good luck." With that, Ophanimon's voice disappeared.
"Don't be surprised of anything in the digital world," Izumi informed Miku.
"Yeah, like this," Takuya added.
"Oh...oh...me too!" Junpei announced.
"SPIRIT EVOLUTION" and the three of them spirit-evolved.
"Burningreymon"
"Kazemon"
"Beetlemon" Mizu gaped at them in surprise.
"Here," Takuya offered me. I climbed on him, hesitantly. Tomoki went with Junpei while Mizu with Izumi.
"Hold on tight," Junpei advised as well flew off, towards the Dark Continent.
~Kouichi's P.o.V.~
I woke up. I found myself in a gloomy place. Everything seemed gray and silent. I had been here before... the Dark Continent. I walked around and found some glowing moss. At least I could see in the darkness now. 'How do I get myself into these things,' I thought bitterly, 'as I looked around for some sign of life.
"Hello," I called, "anyone there?"
"Hello, anyone there..." "Hello, anyone there..." "Hello, anyone there..." it echoed. Pipismon. They were bat-like digimon that wandered the Dark Continent.
"Hey, Pipismon... could you tell me if you've seen any others like me?" I asked.
"Hey, Pipismon... could you tell me if you've seen any others like me?" "Hey, Pipismon... could you tell me if you've seen any others like me?" "Hey, Pipismon... could you tell me if you've seen any others like me?" it echoed.
I sighed... looks like I wasn't going to get any help out of them. Luckily, with my previous memories of Duskmon, an evil mutated Hybird digimon which I wasn't proud of being, I was able to travel around in this part of the Digital World.
~Junpei's P.o.V.~
After flying for a long time, Kazemon, Burningreymon, Beetlemon devolved, exhaustedly. We were all very tired and all needed food and sleep. We dropped onto the ground.
"Let's go look for meat apples." I announced, hungrily.
"I think two of us should go while the rest of us set up camp." Takuya suggested.
"I'll go." Miku said, feeling useless.
"Me too!" Tomoki added. The two of them left as I heard Tomoki describe the meat apples to Miku. "...they look a lot like apples, but they're made of meat and..."
"Izumi! Why don't we go and get water!" I proposed.
"No!" she said quickly. "Takuya and I have already planned to go together...you go start a fire."
"We did?"
"Yes." She said firmly. With that, she grabbed Takuya and headed off. Kouji and I were left with the job of starting a fire.
"I'll go find some firewood while you try to start the fire." He told me, he also walked off. I looked around and noticed I was alone. 'Well, I might as well start.' I thought to myself.
I grabbed two sticks nearby and started rubbing them together, vigorously.
~Izumi's P.o.V.~
"What do we hold the water with?" Takuya asked me when we arrived at a river.
"I have no idea." I looked around and found some abandoned pots. "These are perfect!" I exclaimed, delighted.
We filled the pots and headed back to where Junpei was rubbing twigs together.
~Tomoki's P.o.V.~
"Here's some!" I said, pointing up at a tree, "but I can't climb..."
"Tomoki!" I spun around.
"Bokomon! Needmon!" I exclaimed, happily, "where's Patamon?"
"Oh, my little baby is all grown up now and doesn't need to be with his mom anymore." A meat apple dropped onto my head.
"Ouch!"
"Oh so sorry." Miku apologized. She was on a branch high on the tree. I put the meat apples in my hat as she collected them. Once my hat was filled, we headed back to where the others were.
~Junpei's P.o.V.~
"Haven't you heard of matches?" Izumi asked me offering me a match.
"My dear Izumi, you have made my life much easier," I replied happily, taking the matches from her hand. Izumi looked at me with a funny look, while Takuya bonked me in the head with a mallet.
"Ow... what was that for?" I complained.
"Thanks Takuya," Izumi grinned.
"Anytime," he smirked. I gave them a confused look. Kouji suddenly appeared with an armful of wood, and dumped it beside me. Then he walked over to a tree, and leaned against it, watching us silently. I frown at him.
"Could you consider helping me with the fire?" I asked crossly, I had already wasted a bunch of them, and was down the last few. Takuya and Izumi watched me sweatdropping. Kouji walked over, took a match, lit it with a rock, and a fire started. I gaped at him. How was he able to do so much stuff without any effort? I gazed at Izumi who watched Kouji, deeply impressed. Kouji just resumed back to his usual position near the tree.
"The meat apples are here!" Miku and Tomoki announced, followed by Bokomon and Needmon.
"Hey! When were you here?" Takuya asked.
"I'm not sure... am I?" Needmon replied while Bokomon snapped his pants. "Ow..."
"We discovered Tomoki and Miku picking meat apples nearby so we decided come along. I figure out that I might be able to help you if you needed it. Its great to see you guys."
Tomoki put the pots of water close to the fire and tossed some meat apples into them.
"So what are you two doing so close to the borders of the Dark Continent?" Takuya asked as we waited for them to be ready.
"Ophanimon sent a messenger who said something about a great evil that had awakened in the Dark Continent." Bokomon replied, "but we didn't expect to see you six here...by the way, where's Kouichi?" Bokomon turned to Miku.
"There must be a reason why you're here."
Miku shrugged. "I got pushed into the elevator by some shadow."
Bokomon nodded, and then replied, "I'm assuming that whatever had pushed you in, must've done it for a reason. Well, not to worry, I think it's about time we called it a day."
"What else do we call it? A year?" Needmon added, Bokomon glared at him. We all looked uncertain. It had been a long time since we were last here in the digital world. I guess we would sleep on the ground.
* Skip an hour *
~Takuya's P.o.V.~
"I'm not sleepy," I announced an hour later. All but Tomoki agreed. Tomoki had managed to sleep on some moss, unlike the rest of us on the ground.
"Let's play 'Truth or Dare'," Miku suggested.
"YAY!" Junpei agreed. Izumi groaned.
"You're awake too?" she murmured.
"Sure, that's a great idea," I replied.
"All right then, we all agree." I looked at Kouji who stood in a corner silently. He shrugged but walked over to join us. We sat around the dying fire, which Kouji expertly started to revive.
"Who goes first?" I asked.
"Oh...me me me ME!" Junpei said. "Izumi...truth or dare."
Izumi stared at him suspiciously, and replied, "Truth." Junpei looked rather disappointed but continued all the same.
"Do you like Kouji?" Junpei asked sadly. She stiffened, then relaxed.
"Yeah, of course I do," Izumi grinned, "I like all of you guys as my friends." I heard Kouji let out a sigh of relief.
"Aw...Junpei, you just wasted a question," I complained.
"Anyway, it's my turn now," Izumi continued. "Takuya, truth or dare?" I grinned.
"Guys pick dare."
~Izumi's P.o.V.~
"Alright then," I said carefully, "I dare you to kiss Miku on the lips."
"WHAT?" he hollered, "but she punched me in the eye for no reason!" They glared daggers at each other.
"So are you going to do it or not?" I asked impatiently. Slowly and unwillingly, the two kissed, then immediately sprung apart, Takuya spat on the ground while Miku wiped her mouth shuddering. I think they both over exaggerated a bit. We all laughed.
"Okay, my turn," Takuya growled, then looked over at Kouji, who narrowed his eyes. "Kouji, truth or..."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Phantomon appeared, along with two Bakamons. They were both ghost-like digimon. They attacked us, waking Tomoki, Bokomon and Needmon.
"Run!" Miku screamed.
"No, we can handle this," Takuya said and drew out his D-tector. "Ready?"
"Yeah" we chorused.
"SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
"Agunimon"
"Lobomon"
"Kazemon"
"Beetlemon"
"Kumamon"
Miku, Bokomon and Needmon ran for cover.
~Miku's P.o.V.~
I watched as the others fought... but no luck. Phantomon and the two Bakamons had the ability to vanish and appear anywhere the wanted to.
"Pyro Darts"
"Lobo Kendo"
"Tempest Twist"
"Thunder Fist"
"Crystal Freeze"
"They're too fast," Takuya/Agunimon said.
"How was Kouichi able to defeat them before?" Kouji/Lobomon asked. (Kate: sorry, I missed that episode so I don't really know)
"It was too long ago, how should I remember?" Izumi/Kazemon replied. Suddenly, from nowhere...
(Kate: Er...I don't know how to conclude this so...) blah blah blah...they fought and found how to beat them. Kouji takes the digi-code. (Kat: LOL... Kate wrote this part so don't blame me ^-^; use your imagination)
"YAY" we all cheered.
* Meanwhile *
~Kouichi's P.o.V.~
I continued walking, hoping to find a friendly face when I heard a raspy, distant voice.
"Kou...ichi..." It called. I turned around but there was no one in sight.
"Kouichi...come...to me..." It sneered. "Together...we will be unstoppable..."
"Who are you!?" I yelled at nothing in particular.
"I can make all your wishes...come true..."
"Answer me!"
"...don't you want...your mother...to have a more comfortable job?" It taunted, "I can take away your sorrows...your guilt...your pain..."
My head filled with anger. "Stop bothering me!" I shouted at the voice.
"...think about this..." It began to fade away, "we shall meet again...soon..." It disappeared.
Authors' Note: Kat: hm... I feel bad for Kouichi. Who is sending him all these dreams and visions though? And why does 'it' need him specifically? I really want to tell you but you'll have to read on to find out. ^ ^ R+R!! Kate: Don't worry Kouichi! I'll protect you. I won't let my sister kill you, just watch me! ^.^ R+R and CC

(Kate: Er...I don't know how to conclude this so...) blah blah blah...they fought and found how to beat them. Kouji takes the digi-code. (Kat: LOL... Kate wrote this part so don't blame me ^-^; use your imagination)
"YAY" we all cheered.
* Meanwhile *
~Kouichi's P.o.V.~
I continued walking, hoping to find a friendly face when I heard a raspy, distant voice.
"Kou...ichi..." It called. I turned around but there was no one in sight.
"Kouichi...come...to me..." It sneered. "Together...we will be unstoppable..."
"Who are you!?" I yelled at nothing in particular.
"I can make all your wishes...come true..."
"Answer me!"
"...don't you want...your mother...to have a more comfortable job?" It taunted, "I can take away your sorrows...your guilt...your pain..."
My head filled with anger. "Stop bothering me!" I shouted at the voice.
"...think about this..." It began to fade away, "we shall meet again...soon..." It disappeared.
Authors' Note: Kat: hm... I feel bad for Kouichi. Who is sending him all these dreams and visions though? And why does 'it' need him specifically? I really want to tell you but you'll have to read on to find out. ^ ^ R+R!! Kate: Don't worry Kouichi! I'll protect you. I won't let my sister kill you, just watch me! ^.^ R+R and CC
