Chapter Two
Ashley had smiled for the picture, and now was being taken up a hill to meet Taichi's friends. She couldn't help but look at him, he was very cute. She saw herself dating him, there was also that strange feeling she met him before there too.
She then looked behind her as she saw the girl hurry up the hill and past them. She soon saw why as she jumped into the arms, of a young blonde haired boy with blue eyes.
That was when Taichi stopped, and she followed his gaze over the group of gathering teens, and saw a couple kissing under the tree. The boy had blonde hair, that was a bit messy, the girl had short red hair, and seemed very pretty from where she was standing.
Ashley turned her head up, to look at Taichi's face, to see heartbreak in his eyes as he watched the couple. She suddenly felt like she wanted to stop his pain. She squeezed his hand, and as he looked down, she could see his chocolate brown eyes. "Why don't you introduce me to some of your other friends?" She suggested as lightly as she could.
He seemed to break out of his daze and nodded, moving Ashley away from the kissing couple.
Hikari jumped into Takeru's awaiting arms, as she smiled. She found herself resting her head on his chest and taking in his scent, and the feel of his arms around her. "Nice to see you Hikari." He muttered into her hair.
Hikari nodded and moved her head to look into Takeru's, blue eyes. "You to." She said, as her gaze wandered a bit and landed on the kissing couple under the tree.
Takeru didn't follow her gaze, but already knew. "Yeah, they have been doing that for a bit now."
Hikari barely nodded as she felt some anger rise up, without even looking she could felt Taichi's pain and heartbreak.
"So who is the girl Taichi is with, they look cute together?" Takeru, asked breaking Hikari out of her thoughts.
"Oh that's Ashley, Taichi met her at the resturant we went to before coming here. They seem to get along well, I think if Taichi can forget about Sora, the two could hit it off. Which reminds me, you should look at a picture I took of them, it seems weird." She commented.
Takeru, nodded. "Okay, lets see it."
Hikari moved away from Takeru's arms and held out the camera, she then pulled up the picture and showed it to him. After the blonde boy studied it for a minute he seemed to nod in agreement. "It does seem strange, but for now introduce me to Ashley, maybe we can find out some more." He mummered.
The child of light nodded, and taking Takeru's hand headed over to the couple.
Taichi was having a good time with Ashley when his gaze settled on the couple under the tree. Old familar pain rose up in him as he watched Yamato and Sora. It was still there even if it had been a year since then.
He seemed to find himself thinking of the day when he had decided to tell Sora, it was before Yamato's concert. When he saw her, he saw the look in the red head's eyes, before he even asked her. She had chosen Yamato, over him, but he let it slide, not showing her how he really felt about her desicion.
He then sighed as he felt someone squeeze his hand. He looked down at Ashley, he had almost forgot she was there. He gave her a slight smile as she asked if she could be introduced to the others. Once more Taichi had that nagging feeling, that he knew her from somewhere. When he nodded, he looked over and saw Hikari and Takeru. walking to them.
"Hey Takeru." Taichi said a bit too cheerfully, to try to hide the pain from seeing the couple.
"Hey Taichi, so is this the girl Ashley, Hikari told me about." Takeru, said.
Ashley gave a small bow, and smiled. Takeru, met her eyes, as he found himself a bit dazed, he then saw a flash of a different couple, also holding hands, looking like Taichi and Ashley.
"Hey Takeru, wake up." came Hikari's voice from far away. Takeru saw her hand in front of his eyes, as he came to focus, he then saw Taichi and Ashely were off talking to Daisuke, Ken, and Miyako.
"I'm guessing that you sensed or saw something too?" Hikari asked.
The blonde nodded and now saw that Yamato and Sora, had stopped kissing. Hikari had followed his gaze and saw Yamato and Sora watching the girl by Taichi's side. She saw what looked like Sora's eyes glowering a bit at what Yamto was doing.
Taichi smiled as he ruffled Daisuke's hair a bit, out of a friendship greeting. He noticed how much he had changed, since he realized that Hikari was no longer for him. He wasn't chasing his sister around, just acted more like a brother to her.
Then there was Ken and Miyako, the two hadn't started dating yet, but Tai reconized the signs. He did the same thing with Sora for awhile. She was busy talking to Ashley at the moment, when Taichi felt a hand clap on his back. He turned around to see Yamto smiling at him.
"Hey bud, glad you made it." He said.
"Couldn't miss it." He answered, looking at the ground. Even though it was Hikari that convinced me to come. He thought.
"By the way cute girl." Yamato said knudging Taichi in the ribs with his elbow. "I saw our two could probably compete, if you know what I mean." He whispered.
His whispered didn't go quite unheard though, as the next minute Sora grabbed his ear. "Yamato, how dare you say that." She muttered.
"Okay sorry Sora." He said, as the red head let his ear go to hold his hand. She then nodded to Taichi, and to the brown haired girl. "So what is her name?" She asked.
"Oh, this is Ashely." Taichi said, as the girl turned around from talking to Miyako. Ashley smiled as she met the red head. She then did a bit of the same nod as Sora.
"So how about a game of soccer?" Yamato asked a bit of challenge in his voice.
"I'm game." Daisuke said joining in. "How about you Taichi?" He asked.
Taichi nodded. "Sounds good to me, how about the other guys?" He asked.
Sora then turned to Ashley. "How about since the boys play we talk a bit?" She suggested.
Ashley nodded her brown hair started to blow in the gentle breeze. Sora then took her hand and pulled her over where the other girls were, chatting a bit. She watched as Taichi and the other guys gathered up.
The two girls walked over to the shade of the tree. She reconized Miyako and Hikari, but there were two other girls. One with pink hair, and another with white blonde hair that was cut short.
Sora then took the time stopped and pointed them out. "You already know Miyako and Hikari, the girl with the pink hair, is Mimi, and the white blonde, is her cousin Michelle."
The two then sat down in the group, as several introductions were made. As Michelle and Ashley shook hands a strange feeling of knowing each passed through them. Ashley smiled a bit, this was a different feeling than she felt with Taichi.
Michelle smiled a bit as she talked with her cousin Mimi, and her other two friends. It was interesting to be in Tokyo, living on one of the more private islands of Japan, she wasn't used to seeing so many people and styles.
"Oh, there's Sora coming over here. She is also bringing that girl, who was with Taichi." Mimi commented as she pulled her pink hair up a bit.
Michelle nodded and looked up. Her eyes first went over Sora, she was the girl who was making out with the blonde haired boy earlier. That didn't seem to interesting. Her eyes though stayed on the browned haired girl as they walked over.
As she shook hands with Ashley a strange feeling of knowing her and forebooding passed through her, she seemed to tell the other girl felt it too.
The two sat down, and Mimi began telling Sora about her vacation to Hawaii, but Michelle turned to Ashley and the two began talking. They seemed to hit it off pretty well, they didn't even notice Hikari carefully listening in as they talked.
"So, did you just move here?" Ashley asked.
Michelle nodded. "Yeah, I bet you did too? We might even be going to the same school."
Ashley nodded playing with her hair a bit as she watched Taichi kick a soccer passed the Yamato.
"Can I braid your hair?" She asked.
Ashley nodded, as she turned her back to Michelle. The girl pulled out a hair brush and began brushing out Ashley's long brown hair. She then began to braid it.
Hikari knew she could always talk to Mimi about her vacation later. Right now she was interested in the strange feeling she was getting from Ashley and Michelle. The two seemed to know each other, yet didn't.
She pushed her hair back a bit as she listened carefully to their conversation. She blinked a couple of times, as she saw a familar thing about them. She reconized the eyes, the same haunted eyes were what Taichi had.
She now saw it in both Michelle's and Ashley's eyes. It had taken her a double look to reconize it. The wrinkles under they eyes, the look like they saw their own death or something else worse. Something strange was going on, she then raised up her camera slowly, and took a couple pictures of the girls.
Hikari wiped some sweat off her forehead, when she was glad they didn't notice her take the pictures. She would definetly talk to Takeru, later about this. She then turned back to the soccer game as the two stopped talking and Michelle was braiding Ashley's hair. "Go Takeru!" she shouted out as he scored a goal.
Taichi watched as Sora led Ashley away to the group of girls under the tree. His eyes then looked over at a white blonde haired girl, and got a strange feeling from her before being dragged away by Yamato.
He was then introduced to two boys, as he was told they were Daisuke's cousins. He didn't know Daisuke had cousins but he shook hands with each one.
The first one had blonde hair, with a white streak in it, that he said was natural. His name was Mitch. The other one had brownish blonde hair, and went by the name Gary. Taichi couldn't help, but get a strange feeling from both, they seemed to share the feeling.
"Okay who on which team?" Yamato asked as he looked around. "I'm going to be captain of one team, and Taichi will be the other." He said. No one questioned what Yamato said.
The two boys then walked off to the side, and began choosing their team. Yamato choose first. "Okay Takeru." The blonde then ran behind his brother.
Taichi thought for a moment as he looked at the guys assembled there. "Daisuke." He then ran over to Taichi's side.
"Koushiro."
"Ken."
"Iori."
Taichi looked at who remained as his eyes seemed to meet up with the new boys. "Gary."
"Mitch."
Taichi looked around, there was no one there. Joe couldn't come because of his classes. "It appears there is an odd number." He muttered.
"It's okay I can sit out and referee." Mitch suggested, as he went over and picked up the soccer ball. "Besides I was never very good at playing anyway.
The others nodded and walked into places, Iori and Gary stood at the goal posts they had made. Mitch then dropped the ball as the game began.
Yamato started with the ball, but it was quickly stolen by Taichi. After avoiding Takeru and passing it to Daisuke then getting it back again he scored.
After Iori threw it, Takeru took the ball, and collided a bit with Daisuke as he tried to block. Takeru, then kicked it to Yamato, who head butted it to Koushiro. After slightly tripping Daisuke, Takeru, passed him and scored a goal.
"Go Takeru!" He then blushed a bit as he heard Hikari call his name out.
"Nice shot bro!" Yamato added.
The match seemed to turn into a bit of a grudge one, as each side seemed to have equal players. Each player either was blocked or tripped up several times, even Taichi, who fell a couple of times, from Yamato blocking him off.
Without his dark spore Ken still seemed to be in his game as he scored a goal.
The game ended in a tie, by the time, everybody was scrapped up and tired. There were still challenges of rematch from each team. All of them complained of hunger, especially Taichi who said he did most of the work. The others shook their heads as they joined the girls under the tree.
That was when the picnic officially started. Taichi sat down near Ashley, and Michelle a bit of a distance away from the others when he got food. He froze a bit when he saw Ashley's braided hair, now it seemed to triger something else from his memory. A strange old feeling, from long ago... he then quickly shook it off.
Gary and Mitch soon joined them with sandwichs as the group talked some. They all seemed to be around the same age. A strange feeling of familarity and forbooding past through all of them.
"So it seems we are all going to the same school next year." Michelle began.
"Yeah so?" Mitch muttered.
"It means shopping for uniforms, we never had to wear them at my high school in the U.S." Gary commented.
"Well I already have mine, but if you guys want company, to the mall I'll come along." Taichi suggested.
"Don't be silly, your coming whether you want to or not." Ashley said, squeezing his hand gently.
The group then laughed out a bit as Taichi took a bite of his sandwhich. This was turning out to be a great day. He met new friends and everything, his eyes gazed over a bit to Sora, but then pulled away.
Hikari took a bite out of a straberry as she watched the group of five talking. Takeru, soon sat down beside her taking off his white hat. "Please tell me I'm not the only one sensing something strange about them." She muttered.
"Your not." Takeru said, as he shaded his eyes to watch them a bit.
"Good. You know there is a something similar to them, that I noticed from Michelle and Ashley."
"What is that?"
"They both seem to have this strange haunted look in their eyes."
"What makes you say that?"
Hikari turned her eyes from the group to stare into Takeru's blue ones. "I've been seeing the same look in Taichi's eyes for the past 2 months, I know it now."
"I see what you mean, both Gary and Mitch, also seem to have haunted eyes."
"It's strange, why those four? I mean you can't blame it if Taichi has that look he is a digidestined, but the others it doesn't explain it."
"Well Hikari, three out of the four of them are related to digidestined. I remember Daisuke telling me that his cousins were with him in the mall when Myotismon was searching for you." He commented and sighed. "Also that Mimi's cousin was on the plane that Garudamon caught back then."
"Well that still doesn't explain Ashley though. I mean even if those events happened, shouldn't Gary, Mitch, and Michelle be digidestined by now? If these are dreams of an upcoming war....." Hikari didn't finish.
Takeru, nodded and held Hikari closer. "Maybe we should keep an eye on them when we can." He muttered.
She nodded and lifted up her camera and took one last picture of the group. The sun was already setting and it fit perfect in the shot. "We could also look at the pictures later."
The others were packing up a bit as Hikari watched Taichi walk over to Yamato. After talking for a few moments, Taichi turned and headed with the others to his car.
Yamato then walked over to the two. "Taichi asked me to give you a ride home Hikari, he said he was going to be home late."
Hikari nodded and with Takeru, walked to Yamato's car. She climbed in the back, and realized that Sora was sitting in the front. The two acknowlaged each other, but did nothing else.
It was mostly silence on the way back to her apartments, except when Yamato and Takeru, talked about the game some.
Hikari was thankful when they finally pulled up to her place. The silence and being with Sora was unbearable. Takeru, then walked her up to the door.
She smiled a bit as she pulled out her keys to the apartment.
"So I'll see you tomarrow?" Takeru asked.
Hikari nodded as he pulled her close. He then kissed her, for a moment before a honk rang out. "I better get going." Takeru, said and the next minute he was gone.
Later that night Hikari woke up hearing Taichi come through the door. She rolled over so he wouldn't see her still awake. She then relaxed when she heard his breathing relax as sleep overcame him.
Hikari was about to sleep herself, when she heard it. The muttering again, she moved a bit out of bed to look up at Taichi's. He was tossing and turning again. Her eyes looked worried before she settled back down again, and closed her eyes to a peaceful sleep.
Taichi carefully inserted his keys into the apartment door. He was glad his mom and dad were away for a few days, or else he would be dead for staying out so late. He then carefully crept down the hall not to wake Hikari.
Easing open the door he stepped inside. Creeping inside he changed into his boxer shorts for bed before climbing up. He lay there for a moment staring up at the ceiling thinking about how much fun he had with the others.
Ashley
She was a very pretty girl, and had a great personality, yet, he thought he knew her, some old girlfriend perhaps? Nah. A new one, yes, but could she ever replace Sora? She had though given him a goodnight kiss as he dropped her off.
Michelle
The girl was a mystery herself. Being related to Mimi she did have a taste for fashion, at the same time though she seemed to have this sixth sense about things. Not too mention the white blonde hair, it must be a gene in Mimi's family.
Gary
He seemed to be a great guy just to hang out with. He reminded Taichi of Yamato, yet he was different. More of a laid back guy, who like to play soccer.
Mitch
He is the more opposite of Daisuke that could ever be. He didn't seem like his cousin at all, in fact the only thing similar was that he like to party quite a bit. He also like sports, but prefers karate to soccer.
Taichi mused over his thoughts as he slowly went to sleep.
Akira walked through the tall grass of the Digital World with his partner at his side. He carefully fixed his shirt and checked his digivice. It was time to meet her.
"Quit looking so nervous Akira." His Agumon commented as they waded through.
"I can't help it Agumon Mikira said she found another chosen today, that would mean five of us. Don't you understand."
"No, why, what is the big deal."
Akira stopped and turned to his partner. "It means that the prophesy will come true and a great darkness is going to rage in the Digital Plain. That means we have to try to stop it and I like it the way it is now." He then started walking again with his partner by his side.
They reached what looked like a huge tree with a hut not far away. Under it sat Mikira fixing some sort of a picnic. Without even looking she commented. "Glad you could make it Akira."
"What about the others?"
"Oh, they are out patroling."
"Are they safe?"
"They do have partners after all."
Akira sat down across from Mikira. "Are you sure she is to come today?" He asked all the joy out of his voice.
Mikira watched as their two partners played around a bit, before turning to Tai, her blue eyes now silver. "I'm very sure."
"Is she the one that will complete our team? And unleash the darkness?"
She nodded.
"What is her name?"
"Ask her yourself. She is coming up the field."
Akira then followed what Mikira said and looked up. He could see a girl in the distance. She had long brown hair tied up in a braid, and a simple gown on. She looked confused and was carrying a Digi egg.
Akira stood up as if hypnotized, he then ran across the field to meet the girl. Up close he could see she had hazel blue eyes. "Hi. I'm Akira." He said.
The girl looked up from her digi egg, and device to see him. "I'm Adara." She said smoothly. "Where am I?"
"Here come with me, there is a bit of explaining that has to come with this." He said, and took Adara's hand. It was like love at first sight. He then led her over to the area where Mikira was at.
Mikira watched as one piece of the prophesy was being completed. They both sat down, as Mikira began telling Adara about why she was there.
Soon both Scott and Danny joined in, as the conversation went around. It was at first joking, then serious. All the time Akira held Adara's hand as she heard the news.
Taichi woke up the next morning with the sun in his eyes. He hopped down from his bed, and saw Hikari was already up. He also began to get ready, he was going to have lunch with Ashley today.
As he got dressed he realized that the girl Adara in his dreams seemed alot like Ashley. He then shook it off, and walked out of his room.
Okay that is it for chapter two. I hoped you enjoyed it, please Read and Review and be prepared for chapter three.
Hikari's voice: It has been two weeks later and Takeru, and I are still wondering about Ashley and the others. We start to dig a bit further into our investigation and try to persude Taichi to tell us about his dreams. Also the growing romance between Taichi and Ashley is getting better, be prepared for the next chapter of "Unknown"

Takeru didn't follow her gaze, but already knew. "Yeah, they have been doing that for a bit now."
Hikari barely nodded as she felt some anger rise up, without even looking she could felt Taichi's pain and heartbreak.
"So who is the girl Taichi is with, they look cute together?" Takeru, asked breaking Hikari out of her thoughts.

"Hey Takeru, wake up." came Hikari's voice from far away. Takeru saw her hand in front of his eyes, as he came to focus, he then saw Taichi and Ashely were off talking to Daisuke, Ken, and Miyako.
"I'm guessing that you sensed or saw something too?" Hikari asked.

"Oh, this is Ashely." Taichi said, as the girl turned around from talking to Miyako. Ashley smiled as she met the red head. She then did a bit of the same nod as Sora.
"So how about a game of soccer?" Yamato asked a bit of challenge in his voice.
"I'm game." Daisuke said joining in. "How about you Taichi?" He asked.
Taichi nodded. "Sounds good to me, how about the other guys?" He asked.
Sora then turned to Ashley. "How about since the boys play we talk a bit?" She suggested.
Ashley nodded her brown hair started to blow in the gentle breeze. Sora then took her hand and pulled her over where the other girls were, chatting a bit. She watched as Taichi and the other guys gathered up.

The match seemed to turn into a bit of a grudge one, as each side seemed to have equal players. Each player either was blocked or tripped up several times, even Taichi, who fell a couple of times, from Yamato blocking him off.
Without his dark spore Ken still seemed to be in his game as he scored a goal.
The game ended in a tie, by the time, everybody was scrapped up and tired. There were still challenges of rematch from each team. All of them complained of hunger, especially Taichi who said he did most of the work. The others shook their heads as they joined the girls under the tree.
That was when the picnic officially started. Taichi sat down near Ashley, and Michelle a bit of a distance away from the others when he got food. He froze a bit when he saw Ashley's braided hair, now it seemed to triger something else from his memory. A strange old feeling, from long ago... he then quickly shook it off.
Gary and Mitch soon joined them with sandwichs as the group talked some. They all seemed to be around the same age. A strange feeling of familarity and forbooding past through all of them.
"So it seems we are all going to the same school next year." Michelle began.
"Yeah so?" Mitch muttered.
"It means shopping for uniforms, we never had to wear them at my high school in the U.S." Gary commented.
"Well I already have mine, but if you guys want company, to the mall I'll come along." Taichi suggested.
"Don't be silly, your coming whether you want to or not." Ashley said, squeezing his hand gently.
The group then laughed out a bit as Taichi took a bite of his sandwhich. This was turning out to be a great day. He met new friends and everything, his eyes gazed over a bit to Sora, but then pulled away.
Hikari took a bite out of a straberry as she watched the group of five talking. Takeru, soon sat down beside her taking off his white hat. "Please tell me I'm not the only one sensing something strange about them." She muttered.
"Your not." Takeru said, as he shaded his eyes to watch them a bit.
"Good. You know there is a something similar to them, that I noticed from Michelle and Ashley."
"What is that?"
"They both seem to have this strange haunted look in their eyes."
"What makes you say that?"
Hikari turned her eyes from the group to stare into Takeru's blue ones. "I've been seeing the same look in Taichi's eyes for the past 2 months, I know it now."
"I see what you mean, both Gary and Mitch, also seem to have haunted eyes."
"It's strange, why those four? I mean you can't blame it if Taichi has that look he is a digidestined, but the others it doesn't explain it."
"Well Hikari, three out of the four of them are related to digidestined. I remember Daisuke telling me that his cousins were with him in the mall when Myotismon was searching for you." He commented and sighed. "Also that Mimi's cousin was on the plane that Garudamon caught back then."
"Well that still doesn't explain Ashley though. I mean even if those events happened, shouldn't Gary, Mitch, and Michelle be digidestined by now? If these are dreams of an upcoming war....." Hikari didn't finish.
Takeru, nodded and held Hikari closer. "Maybe we should keep an eye on them when we can." He muttered.
She nodded and lifted up her camera and took one last picture of the group. The sun was already setting and it fit perfect in the shot. "We could also look at the pictures later."
The others were packing up a bit as Hikari watched Taichi walk over to Yamato. After talking for a few moments, Taichi turned and headed with the others to his car.
Yamato then walked over to the two. "Taichi asked me to give you a ride home Hikari, he said he was going to be home late."
Hikari nodded and with Takeru, walked to Yamato's car. She climbed in the back, and realized that Sora was sitting in the front. The two acknowlaged each other, but did nothing else.
It was mostly silence on the way back to her apartments, except when Yamato and Takeru, talked about the game some.
Hikari was thankful when they finally pulled up to her place. The silence and being with Sora was unbearable. Takeru, then walked her up to the door.
She smiled a bit as she pulled out her keys to the apartment.
"So I'll see you tomarrow?" Takeru asked.
Hikari nodded as he pulled her close. He then kissed her, for a moment before a honk rang out. "I better get going." Takeru, said and the next minute he was gone.
Later that night Hikari woke up hearing Taichi come through the door. She rolled over so he wouldn't see her still awake. She then relaxed when she heard his breathing relax as sleep overcame him.
Hikari was about to sleep herself, when she heard it. The muttering again, she moved a bit out of bed to look up at Taichi's. He was tossing and turning again. Her eyes looked worried before she settled back down again, and closed her eyes to a peaceful sleep.
Taichi carefully inserted his keys into the apartment door. He was glad his mom and dad were away for a few days, or else he would be dead for staying out so late. He then carefully crept down the hall not to wake Hikari.
Easing open the door he stepped inside. Creeping inside he changed into his boxer shorts for bed before climbing up. He lay there for a moment staring up at the ceiling thinking about how much fun he had with the others.
Ashley
She was a very pretty girl, and had a great personality, yet, he thought he knew her, some old girlfriend perhaps? Nah. A new one, yes, but could she ever replace Sora? She had though given him a goodnight kiss as he dropped her off.
Michelle
The girl was a mystery herself. Being related to Mimi she did have a taste for fashion, at the same time though she seemed to have this sixth sense about things. Not too mention the white blonde hair, it must be a gene in Mimi's family.
Gary
He seemed to be a great guy just to hang out with. He reminded Taichi of Yamato, yet he was different. More of a laid back guy, who like to play soccer.
Mitch
He is the more opposite of Daisuke that could ever be. He didn't seem like his cousin at all, in fact the only thing similar was that he like to party quite a bit. He also like sports, but prefers karate to soccer.
Taichi mused over his thoughts as he slowly went to sleep.
Akira walked through the tall grass of the Digital World with his partner at his side. He carefully fixed his shirt and checked his digivice. It was time to meet her.
"Quit looking so nervous Akira." His Agumon commented as they waded through.
"I can't help it Agumon Mikira said she found another chosen today, that would mean five of us. Don't you understand."
"No, why, what is the big deal."
Akira stopped and turned to his partner. "It means that the prophesy will come true and a great darkness is going to rage in the Digital Plain. That means we have to try to stop it and I like it the way it is now." He then started walking again with his partner by his side.
They reached what looked like a huge tree with a hut not far away. Under it sat Mikira fixing some sort of a picnic. Without even looking she commented. "Glad you could make it Akira."
"What about the others?"
"Oh, they are out patroling."
"Are they safe?"
"They do have partners after all."
Akira sat down across from Mikira. "Are you sure she is to come today?" He asked all the joy out of his voice.
Mikira watched as their two partners played around a bit, before turning to Tai, her blue eyes now silver. "I'm very sure."
"Is she the one that will complete our team? And unleash the darkness?"
She nodded.
"What is her name?"
"Ask her yourself. She is coming up the field."
Akira then followed what Mikira said and looked up. He could see a girl in the distance. She had long brown hair tied up in a braid, and a simple gown on. She looked confused and was carrying a Digi egg.
Akira stood up as if hypnotized, he then ran across the field to meet the girl. Up close he could see she had hazel blue eyes. "Hi. I'm Akira." He said.
The girl looked up from her digi egg, and device to see him. "I'm Adara." She said smoothly. "Where am I?"
"Here come with me, there is a bit of explaining that has to come with this." He said, and took Adara's hand. It was like love at first sight. He then led her over to the area where Mikira was at.
Mikira watched as one piece of the prophesy was being completed. They both sat down, as Mikira began telling Adara about why she was there.
Soon both Scott and Danny joined in, as the conversation went around. It was at first joking, then serious. All the time Akira held Adara's hand as she heard the news.
Taichi woke up the next morning with the sun in his eyes. He hopped down from his bed, and saw Hikari was already up. He also began to get ready, he was going to have lunch with Ashley today.
As he got dressed he realized that the girl Adara in his dreams seemed alot like Ashley. He then shook it off, and walked out of his room.
Okay that is it for chapter two. I hoped you enjoyed it, please Read and Review and be prepared for chapter three.
Hikari's voice: It has been two weeks later and Takeru, and I are still wondering about Ashley and the others. We start to dig a bit further into our investigation and try to persude Taichi to tell us about his dreams. Also the growing romance between Taichi and Ashley is getting better, be prepared for the next chapter of "Unknown"
