Note: There will be a temporary shortage of fluff due to the need of plot
reinforcements. Yes, I know-BIG WORDS. To break it down so that you're puny
minds can comprehend (no offense, earthlings), I want this story to have a
stronger plot line. So, this chapter will mainly focus on the chosen
children in general and their overall mission to save the Digital World.
I'll zoom into points about the five kids trying to connect with the
natural powers of the Digital World (that must be getting old), so if
there's a lack of fluff in this chapter, don't fret. It will reappear and
possibly even heighten in future chapters. Now that I've explained that,
enjoy!
kellyQ- Yeah, I hate it when people are mad at each other. But, what can you do, right?
clueless97- Updating is good!!!
Anime Writer2- Thanks! Um, I don't really know how long it'll be, but I want it to have a plot and not just be a pointless fluff fic. Glad you like it so far!
Takouji-Kanbara- Sorry it takes longer for me to update now. High skool's a killer.
Crystal Ketchum Darklight- I think I'm turning everyone against Zoë!! Hehehe, whoops!
Splash-Yaoiluv- hehehe..thanks for the review! I'll update whenever I can!

Takuya's POV
Taming the Wild
Wicchick
Morning came, and Takuya's temper (as well as his hickey, which had turned purple) had calmed down considerably. In fact, he felt almost peaceful as he was lying down besides Koji and listening to the birds tweeting. His stomach grumbled as a delicious scent reached his nose, and he calmly propped himself up on his elbows and took a look around. Zoë was cooking something over the fire in a cleared-out area in the camp, and by the looks of it, Tommy was attempting to help, but only succeeded in making a mess of himself. His white shirt was stained with various colors.
"Tommy! Look at yourself!" Zoë said, giggling. "Thanks for your help, but I'm almost done now. Why don't you wash up by the nearest pond? Oh, your up!" she added, having just spotted Takuya.
"Yep. Watcha cookin'? Smells great!"
"I'm not really sure. Just sort of made up my own recipe, incorporating whatever we have. There're some nuts and berries, and I was just making a sort of fruit porridge. Wanna try some?"
"Mmmmm! Yes, please!" Takuya sprung to his feet and walked over towards Zoë. A loud yawn from behind announced that someone was waking up, and it was J.P. He too moaned at the smell of the warm porridge, and, like Takuya, hastily got up.
"Hey," Takuya said to him quietly.
J.P. looked surprised that Takuya had said something civil to him, and slowly replied with a "Good Morning."
Takuya, who was feeling ashamed of himself for blowing up the night before, reached his hand out and said, "What do you say we forget anything bad ever happened? Friends?"
J.P. grinned, took Takuya's hand, and agreed, "Friends."
"Awww! How cute!" shrieked Zoë.
"Oh brother," said Takuya and J.P. in unison.
"I'll third that," said a voice from behind. The three turned around and saw Koji.
"Hey buddy! Sleep well?" Takuya asked cheerfully.
"Like the dead. What're we having here?"
"Some of my homemade fruit porridge!" Zoë answered proudly.
A minute later, Tommy came back looking clean, but wet. Zoë Spirit Evolved into Kazemon and used her "Hurricane Wave!" to dry him off. Bokomon and Neemon also emerged from the thick forest, and told the humans that they had gone for a walk earlier that morning. Finally, they all sat down together and enjoyed their breakfast. Zoë's porridge turned out great even though she had never made it before and had had to improvise on some of the ingredients.
"So, guys, what should we do today?" said Takuya, resuming his normal leadership role.
"I know this may sound old," started Bokomon, "but I really suggest that you once again try to accomplish the task that Ophanimon gave you all."
"Then that's what we'll do! I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting pretty anxious just waiting here, doing nothing. I feel like we should be out fighting Digimon and trying to save this world!" Takuya agreed, standing up to face the others.
The rest of them nodded in agreement.
"Yeah," began Tommy, "we don't even know what's going on out there! For all we know, this could be the only place still existent in the Digital World."
"It's settled then. C'mon, guys. Let's not waste any more time. Ophanimon gave us a task, and we've got to try our best to complete it! Let's all separate this time; we know the area pretty well by now, so we shouldn't have any trouble finding our way back to camp. Let's meet back here at sundown."
The rest of the group also stood, and one by one, left the camp area. Takuya was glad that Zoë hadn't argued with him about them all going off on their own. The last thing he wanted was alone time with her, and even if he went with Koji, he'd never be able to concentrate. He decided that this time, he'd try a new direction, and instead of going to the familiar cave or dense part of the forest, he headed over to a small mountain cliff. It took him a while to get there, but he didn't go very high, and when he found a decent-looking spot, he stopped and sat down. He leaned against the side of the mountain and observed the scenery. From his altitude (which wasn't all that high, but still higher than level ground), he could see a few small ponds and rivers. He briefly saw Koji, but then lost sight of him as Koji was hidden from view by the many trees.
Sighing happily, he laid down with his hands behind his head. It was really a gorgeous day-the sun was high, but a few puffy, white clouds and frequent breezes kept him cool. His thoughts melted away, and he went into a peaceful reverie. He was happy. He was settled. He was calm, rested, collected. He felt very present. He could almost feel the energy of the Digital World running through his veins: vibrant, blissful, beautiful- stormy, deteriorating, panicked, chaotic.
He rose abruptly with a short gasp. Something wasn't right. He could feel it, sense it, almost like he was a part of it. He was connected with the Digital World. And the Digital World was in turmoil.
Thinking quickly, he reached for his D-Tector and used it to summon the others. He waited impatiently for them to receive the message, and moments later they were all climbing to were he sat, followed closely by Bokomon and Neemon.
"What's up, T?" Zoë asked. "I got a signal from my D-Tector and it pointed me in this direction.
"I know. Listen guys, I called for all of you, because-well, can't you feel it?"
The others looked at him oddly. Letting out a long breath of frustration, Takuya tried to explain. "I think I've finally done what Ophanimon wanted us to do; I think I've become connected with the Digital World. It's weird, but I can almost feel what's going on out there, and it's not good. When we left for this place, do you guys remember what was going on?"
"Of course we do! We had just defeated Terrormon and finished rebuilding the Digital cities that he had destroyed. Then there was that one guy-what was his name? Right, Destructomon! Well, he was trying to destroy us and then we got Ophanimon's message to come here, and that's pretty much it, right?" Tommy answered. (A/N: read my explanation at the end)
"Right. But I have a feeling that the reason Ophanimon sent us here in the first place was because she thought we couldn't defeat Destructomon. And she was probably right-at the time, we were all too weak. But now we're all rested, plus I feel like I have a deeper connection with this world. I know that right now, Destructomon is causing mayhem in this world! We have to get out of here before anything else goes wrong. We have to stop Destructomon!"
The six listeners stared back at Takuya with wide-opened mouths and blank expressions.
"Well, what are we waiting for then?" Koji suddenly said, snapping the others out of their thoughts. "Let's find a Trailmon to take us out of here. Takuya, since you're the only one who's connected with the Digital World, can you sense were Destructomon is?"
Takuya wasn't sure if he could or not. /I'll never know unless I try..here it goes./ He closed his eyes and tried to hold onto the connected feeling he had. He could feel the world....could sense trouble...but where was it coming from?
/Just relax and try to focus, Takuya/ he told himself. /OK, it's getting stronger...I can feel the danger more close by.../ "There!" he exclaimed, pointing in a Northeastern direction. "I feel trouble just over there, and I sense that Destructomon is there right now! We have to find a Trailmon......" he closed his eyes and left his sentence hanging. "Alright. Follow me, guys," he finished, not caring to explain.
____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________
"Whoa, Takuya! You did it! Man, I have a feeling I'm gonna like you're newfound abilities!" J.P. said happily as the gang stood face to metal face of an impatient looking Trailmon.
"Ah, I feel so proud. Ophanimon must be very pleased with you, Takuya," Bokomon said in a tear-filled voce.
The Trailmon seemed to have just noticed them, and let out a whistle. "Finally! I thought you blasted kids would never show up!"
"Dude, what are you talking about?" Takuya asked, clearly confused that the Trailmon seemed to have been waiting on them.
"Never mind, never mind, no time for small talk! Just get on! You've got a world to save and we've got to get going!"
"Heh, no kidding." Takuya signaled the OK for the others to get inside the Trailmon. "Since you seem to know so much, mind telling me where you're gonna take us?"
"That's pretty obvious, isn't it? Where else would I take you but where the evil is- Cyber Port City!"
"Oh, uh, right. Why didn't I think of that?" Takuya also got inside, and just as he climbed in, the Trailmon door slammed shut and the Trailmon started up the track at a bullet-pace, sending Takuya flying across the inside of it. Not unusual for the goggle-boy, he landed on his head. Rubbing it, he stood up and walked over to where the others were seated
They all looked just as confused as he felt. Everything was happening so suddenly now. "Well, I...uh, to tell the truth, I have no idea what's going on. This is all sorta being rushed. I guess we'll just have to wait till we get to Cyber Port City to find out anything. Bokomon, what do you know about that place?"
"Not too much, other than it is a large city. If Destructomon wanted to cause trouble and panic, that would be an ideal place to start it because of its size."
"Oh, great. I hope he hasn't done too much damage to it already," Takuya sighed. From where he stood, he looked around and spotted Koji sitting by himself in a corner seat and staring out of a window. Takuya slightly grinned as he remembered that Koji had also been all by himself on their journey to the place that they were now leaving.
/Some things never change. Unless, of course, I step in and change them!/ He calmly strolled over to Koji and plopped down besides him. Koji took no notice of this and continued staring out of the window, but the others stared in shock. This alone pleased Takuya.
/I wonder what's going through their minds right now.../
____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________
Ok! Now to explain what's going on:
An evil Digimon named Terrormon had been destroying the Digital World, so the kids defeated him and helped rebuild the places he had destroyed. Then, another Digimon named Destructomon came about, and he also wanted to destroy everything, but before the kids got a chance to fight him, Ophanimon sent them a message and they were taken to that calm forest place. The point of going there was for them to rest and get in tune with the 'natural powers of the Digital World'. As you can see, only Takuya has done that. And now, they're on the way to a place called Cyber Port City to find Destructomon and try to defeat him so the Digital World can finally be in peace.
I'm sure you've already guessed that I only just decided the plot for this, so that's why it's a little confusing right now. But the Takuya/Koji relationship is also what the plot is about, so I'll be getting back to that soon. And later on, Kouichi will make an appearance, but it will probably be at the very end and it will only be brief. I may just say that the twins met, unless something changes, so for now, he's not a major character in this story.
Sorry about all that extra reading! I'll try to update soon, but I myself am confused about where I'm going with this. Hope I didn't ruin it! More Takouji to come!
kellyQ- Yeah, I hate it when people are mad at each other. But, what can you do, right?
