Welcome to another chapter of the Unknown series. I hope you enjoyed the
last one and will like this one. Now if it starts to get to be the same a
bit I apologize, I'm trying something different by putting six points of
view from six characters. Now read and review!
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon of any format, the plot, and four of the first digidestined characters are made by me. So don't steal.
Chapter Three
Two weeks later
It was a beautiful morning as Taichi picked up his digivice, which was by the computer screen. What he didn't notice was that his comp. seemed to react to his digivice moving. He pocketed it in his shorts as he walked out and into the living room.
He noticed Hikari was already gone, and it appeared so was his mom. He didn't mind as he sat down on the couch and flipped on the t.v. Taichi was meeting his new friends at his apartment so they could go to the mall for school uniforms.
It had been two weeks yet it seemed he knew them for several years. Strange He thought, as he flipped through the channels. Especially Ashley, he had been dating her for those weeks and they were already closer than what should be normal dating patterns.
With Ashley it seemed meant to be, but it seemed that way with Sora, and look who she is with now. Don't think about her Taichi, you have Ashley now. She is better anyway. He couldn't help it though as he felt a pang of pain in his chest for the loss of Sora.
There was a knock at the door. Taichi stood up and opened it. He was greeted with a kiss on the lips from Ashley as she snuggled into his arms. He broke it and smiled. "Your early."
"I know, I meant to be." She said giving him a michevious smile.
Taichi returned it as he let her in, as he shut the door, he joined her on the couch. Putting an arm around her shoulders he started watching the t.v. again.
Ashley snuggled closer, it was nice just like this, every kiss they had there was some kind of fire behind it. She remembered at first how Taichi resisted to kiss her at all, but now it was different.
Taichi turned off the t.v., there was nothing on. He felt Ashley snuggle closer and took a hand to tilt her chin up. That was when he bent his head down and kissed her.
She felt the gentle pressure of his lips on hers as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and went a bit deeper through the kiss and he followed.
They didn't even notice a familar white haired girl walk in. "Okay if I knew you two were going to have a make-out session I would have brought along Gary." Michelle said with some sarcasism.
Taichi and Ashley pulled away a bit reluctantly, at the same time with a sheepish expersion on their faces, as Michelle rolled her eyes.
"We didn't know you like Gary that much, Michelle." Ashley commented lightly.
"You know they would make a cute couple." Taichi added.
Michelle turned away slightly as a pink blush came to her cheeks. "Okay you got me there." Then as a afterthought. "Do you really think so?"
The couple burst out laughing at that question.
"What? I was being serious." Michelle demanded her cheeks red from blushing.
Just then Gary and Mitch walked in. Gary noticed Michelle's red cheeks as Mitch asked if they interupted something.
After some stifled laughter from Ashley and Taichi, plus Michelle silencing them to secrecy, the five made it downstairs, climbed into Taichi's car and he drove them to the mall.
Hikari had left the apartments early for one reason, to go to the place where she bought her camera and complain. She had her pictures developed and just got them back. They were messed up. All she could see was the background and the shadows. All her other pictures were fine, but not the ones of her brother and the others.
"Hey Hikari slow down!" came Takeru's complaint as she had passed him by earlier. She then stopped as the blonde haired boy ran up. "What's the rush?"
"Look at these." Hikari said handing Takeru, the shots.
"Why would you take pictures of the grass and things." He commented.
"Those are the ones I took of Taichi and the others."
Takeru raised his eyebrows into what seemed his hat. He looked closely at the pictures. "I have an idea, my mom just got this new kind of scanner. It can take a picture split it up, and then form it back together. We can find out then if there is something wrong with your camera."
"That's the thing, Takeru, nothing is wrong. The other pictures turned out great."
He just nodded and the two made it to his house. "My mom isn't home right now so we can get on the computer." He said as they took off their shoes, and Takeru passed his sleeping partner.
"You know, I tried to do some research on the names you gave me that Taichi muttered online. I didn't find anything, not yet anyway."
Hikari nodded as they walked over to the computer. Takeru warmed it up, turned on the scanner, and Hikari handed him the pictures.
He then openned up the lid of the scanner and put the pictures in, all lined up. Next he activated it. "All we do is wait."
She nodded and sat in the chair that was by the computer as it processed the pictures. The first one popped up on the screen, and a strange light seemed to go over it. At first Hikari didn't notice anything, but then she looked closer, the picture was being etched out. She could reconize people being formed, as the other pictures did the same thing. She clicked the mouse and zoomed closer to the picture. "Takeru, you better look at this."
Takeru leaned over and gasped out a bit. "How did that happen?"
The picture was of Taichi and Ashley holding hands, except they looked different. Ashley seemed to be wearing a different type of dress, it was simple and white, instead of her jeans and t-shirt. Her hair, instead of down was pulled up in a complex design. Taichi still had his hair, yet there were a pair of goggles tied there. His outfit changed, as he was now wearing a pair of laid back slacks, and a nice shirt. The couple looked very happy.
"Okay lets see the others." Hikari said slowly in awe with what she was looking at.
Suddenly the computer began showing the other pictures at a fast rate, to quick to catch. Smoke started to rise out of the computer, as the screen flashed a couple of times before shuting off.
"Okay, I hoped that didn't fry your computer Takeru."
Takeru began to check it. "So do I, or else my mom will kill me, this is where she does her newspaper work."
Hikari nodded as she lifted the lid of the scanner. She then gasped at what she saw. All the pictures except of the one, with Ashley and Taichi, now where just covered with digital code. "Now that is weird."
"Maybe we should ask Genni about this."
"I think not, he also might just know as much as we, do. Besides I would like to get more information before doing, or contacting anyone."
"Okay fine. Lets just be careful, we might not know what we get into."
She nodded as the two stood up and walked out to the living room. "So what have we got so far, besides this picture."
Takeru came out with folders in his hands. Each was a different color. Orange for Taichi, blue for Ashley, white for Michelle, green for Gary, and red for Mitch. The biggest one was Taichi's, and the smallest Ashley's.
"Have you found out any more info about Ashley?" Takeru asked.
Hikari shook her head. "I can never get her alone."
"Think we should try getting Taichi to talk about his dreams today?"
"We could try, don't count on anything, he is with the group today shopping for uniforms."
"Why didn't you go along."
Hikari looked at the floor. "That is my own fault, I was upset about my camera and completely forgot."
"There is always next time."
She nodded as they spread out the papers from the files.
It felt great to be in the mall again, Taichi had never really entered it for awhile. He was too much in self pity to do so, but now he walked through the mall to the uniform shop with the others.
As they all weaved around in the crowds, Michelle leading, Tai thought he saw some kind of red hair, but he ignored it as they reached the shop. Michelle breezed right through the doors, followed by Ashley, Taichi, Gary, and a reluctant Mitch.
A shop clerk came up, and dragged the girls away for fittings, leaving the boys standing there, for the moment. Gary then walked over to the racks and began looking through the uniforms they had on display, looking for his size. "What color?" He asked.
"Green." Mitch grumbled, "I still can't believe we have to wear uniforms. I even heard the work is harder here."
Gary nodded. "I'm up to the challenge, besides if Taichi over there could do it so can we." He said and pulled out a green uniform.
"Hey watch it." Taichi shouted out as the two grinned. Then he shook his head some. "Just go try on the uniforms." He muttered.
After Gary tossed Mitch a uniform the two walked into the dressing room.
"How do I look?"
Tai turned at the sound of Ashley's voice to see her in the uniform. He then smiled, "You look great."
She then smiled and blushed some.
"Hey if you two love birds don't mind, I need an opinon too." Michelle commented.
It was strange the green seemed to set off her wild colored hair. Her tan skin fit perfectly with it. "You look good to me." Came Gary's voice, as he walked out also wearing the uniform, the tie over his shoulder.
Michelle turned slighly so Gary wouldn't see her blush, and gave the look that she had to talk to Ashley. "We will be right back." Ashley said.
Taichi nodded as he turned to Gary. "Where's Mitch."
"Oh, he locked himself in the dressing room, saying he won't come out, unless he can cheat the dress code."
Taichi smirked. "Lets get him out then." He muttered as the two walked over to the other side of the store.
Michelle had pulled Ashley over to the dressing room doors. "So do you think Gary likes me?" She asked, still blushing a bit.
She ignored the white haired girl for a moment, as she pulled up her hair.
"Do you?" Michelle repeated a bit anxious.
Ashley stood looking at the uniform in the mirror. "You know I think I liked you better when you were more serious and not so boy crazy."
Michelle then smirked as she turned to look at the shoes that were there. "If you don't help me find out if Gary is interested. I might just have to tell Taichi, all those naughty little thoughts that you have."
Ashley then stopped playing around with her hair and turned Michelle around, her own face now bright red. "You wouldn't." She whispered.
Michelle now had a sly smile on her face, like a cat teasing a mouse. "Oh wouldn't I?" She said then turned towards the dressing room, where Taichi and Gary were pulling Mitch out in a uniform. "Oh Taichi....." She began, but never finished as Ashley clamped a hand over her mouth.
Ashley then sighed in defeat. "Fine I'll ask him." She muttered, looking at the ground.
Michelle, then smiled, that looked like the cat caught the mouse in it's game. "You will ask him later." She said more of a command then anything else.
Ashley complied as the two joined the boys. After some more adjustments, the group payed for their uniforms, and walked outside. The mall had it's less bustle, as they made it to the food courts.
The rest of the day went by rather quickly, as the group hung out. It soon became time when all the others were to head home. They piled into the car, and it was Mitch who Taichi dropped off first.
Mitch waved goodbye to the others as Taichi's car pulled away. He then turned and headed up the steps to his house. As soon as he walked inside he threw aside the bag with his uniform in it.
He still couldn't believe that he had to wear one. School was going to be so much more different then what he was used to. At least, he would have Taichi and the others to keep him company.
As he was thinking of them, he couldn't shake the thought out of his head that he knew them from somewhere else. Yet at the same time could they be trusted.
He then opened his parents door, and said goodnight, before walking into his bedroom. That was when he was greeted, by something bouncing on his shoulder. He looked up at the small bunny creature. "I hope you were not too bored at home Terriermon." He muttered.
"No not at all, besides your folks were out for the day so I had a chance to play around the house some."
"Did anyone see you? You didn't leave anything behind that would make me have to explain an excuse to get me out of trouble?"
"Calm down, Mitch, I didn't cause too much trouble."
Mitch then grumbled something his partner couldn't hear, and with the bunny walked over to his computer. He then picked up the strange device, and was reminded of the day when he was trapped in the mall with his cousin. He remembered seeing the parents attack the ghost digimon, then the girl with the strange catus creature.
Not too long afterword, he recieved this strange device, and it wasn't before long that Terriermon popped into his life. It had been strange since then, he had to keep Terriermon a secret, for some odd reason, people didn't seem to like digimon in the U.S.
He looked up at the bunny digimon who was now sound asleep on his shoulder. "Terriermon." He muttered, removing his partner from his shoulder to the bed and changed into his p.j's he climbed in and went into a bit of troubled sleep.
Gary was the next one Taichi dropped off. He picked up his bags and headed upstairs to his apartment. He knew that the others would be meeting up again tomarrow, which was good. Then again was tomarrow the right time."About time you got home." said a voice as a small gray dragon appeared out of no where on Gary's shoulder.
He dropped his keys then in suprise. "Drakemon I told you not to do that." He muttered a bit irritated.
"What can I say, I like supriseing you every now and then. Besides what good is it having a teleportation ability if you can't use it."
Gary then shook his head as he picked up his keys unlocked the door, and walked inside. The apartment was dark, meaning his mom must have gone out already. He sighed as he put his bag and keys on the table. "So anything interesting happen today?" He asked scratching Drakemon's eye lids some.
The dragon digimon crooned a bit, before focusing. "After following you guys for a little while because I got bored at the apartment. I thought I saw something, a yellow kitsune like digimon following the car too." He commented lightly.
"So then what?"
"Well I followed it for a distance, but it seemed to know I was coming and vanished from sight. I haven't seen it for the rest of the day."
"That is strange." Gary said streching a bit as he walked into his bedroom. "Maybe you should follow me again tomarrow, to see if you can spot anything."
Drakemon nodded as he floated over to the little nest in the upper corner of the room. "Sounds like a good idea." He muttered getting settled.
He nodded and changed into his p.j.'s.
Drakemon then openned his eyes again. "So Gary, do you like that Michelle girl?" He asked.
Gary grumbled and cursed himself, for leaving his mind open to Drakemon. He could tell the little dragon was smirking, as he went red in the cheeks. "Well she is cute. Then again though, I'm not sure, if I would be able to fit her in my life. With you around it gets a bit of a handle."
"I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out. Besides, you are going to have to tell your friends sometime about me. The sooner, the better." He added.
"I agree with that one Drakemon." Gary muttered turning out the lights, crawled into bed and went to sleep.
Taichi's car pulled up the driveway, as Michelle climbed out, she turned and gave the knowing look to Ashley. She returned it as Taichi's car drove away.
She gave a small sigh and pushed her white hair out of her face. She then walked around to the back part of her house. She did have to admit it was pretty big, and in one of the nicer area's of Japan.
One thing that did puzzle her was the fact that Taichi refused to let her pay him back for the gas that he used up going this distance. She then shrugged her shoulders and entered through the back gate.
She looked around the yard, it was always her favorite spot. The small pond, the grass, trees and small path that weaved through. It was nothing like the island she lived on, but she was getting used to it.
She then walked over to the pond and set her bag down. She could see the moon shining in its reflection. Michelle then felt a familar prescence. "You can come out now, no one is around."
Not too far behind her a yellow fox like creature appeared in the shadows. Michelle was used to the digimon doing that now. The kitsune seemed to wait her command. "You can relax Renamon, and report."
Renamon then strolled over to her with grace in her step, and kneeled down. "While following you today I sensed another creature. It was a strange dragon, and it also appeared to have the teleporting ability. I was able, to lose it with no problem." She said.
Michelle then smiled. "Good job Renamon. Anyway wake me up early I want to start up our training regement again just in case." She said.
The fox nodded stood up and then vanished. Sleep well Michelle She sent.
You too Renamon She then turned and opened the door to her room. She then changed into her p.j's, climbed into bed and went fast asleep.
Taichi had made it to Ashley's house and had walked the girl to the door. He then kissed her goodnight walked back to his car, and drove away.
Ashley watched him until the car was out of her vision and stepped into the door. Locking it behind her, she moved over and set her bag under the table. After reading a note saying her mom was out with another boyfriend again, she walked over to the fridge and pulled out some food.
After eating some she began to un-do her hair as she walked over to her bedroom. When she walked inside she first looked over to her lab-top computer. That was where the device was and that strange egg.
Both of those things, had appeared not too long after she had moved to Tokyo. She then changed into her p.j's and walked over to where the egg was and sat down in a chair.
The device, was red in color, as a black cord streched from it to the egg. The egg itself seemed to change color, and she hoped it was a good sign, that it would be hatching soon. She then touched the egg with her fingertips, and smiled some. It always seemed to cheer her up a bit, despite how her mom treated her.
After watching the egg a bit, more, she stood up and walked over to her large sized bed. Looking at the egg one last time, she pulled the covers up, and went to sleep.
Little did she know that the device gave a bit of a glow, as the egg cracked.
Taichi opened the door to the apartment and walked inside. He figured Hikari would be home by now, but didn't pay much mind to it. He could have swore he sensed something following them all day today. He would have to ask Agumon about it tomarrow, a small trip to the Digital World.
It was no problem, lately he had been able to go there without help from his sister. It seemed to weird him out, because the others kept saying they couldn't get through since the incident with Black War Greymon.
He then shrugged it off, as he walked into his room. He wasn't feeling very tired so he sat down at the computer and logged on the internet, to see if any of the others were online, or to check the Digidestined message board for any new destined.
Hikari came home late for once in a rare time. She had accidently fallen asleep over at Takeru's and had to run home. She was glad that for once, the door didn't creak as she walked inside.
She made it to the back, and walked into her room. She had planned that since Taichi was the one who was always late, she could suprise him, and ask questions about his dreams. She knew it was too late though when she entered the room. Her brother was already asleep in his bed. She could hear the muttering.
Sighing some Hikari changed, petted her partner goodnight and climbed into bed, falling into a peaceful sleep.
Okay that does it for this chapter of the Unknown. I hoped you enjoyed it, please read and review.
Narartor's Voice: Next chapter we will get to see Hikari go on the Digidestined message board and to learn about a new set of chosen had posted there. Also another dream, and some more answers on the mystery of the others.

Chapter Three
Two weeks later
It was a beautiful morning as Taichi picked up his digivice, which was by the computer screen. What he didn't notice was that his comp. seemed to react to his digivice moving. He pocketed it in his shorts as he walked out and into the living room.

"That's the thing, Takeru, nothing is wrong. The other pictures turned out great."
He just nodded and the two made it to his house. "My mom isn't home right now so we can get on the computer." He said as they took off their shoes, and Takeru passed his sleeping partner.

He then opened his parents door, and said goodnight, before walking into his bedroom. That was when he was greeted, by something bouncing on his shoulder. He looked up at the small bunny creature. "I hope you were not too bored at home Terriermon." He muttered.
"No not at all, besides your folks were out for the day so I had a chance to play around the house some."
"Did anyone see you? You didn't leave anything behind that would make me have to explain an excuse to get me out of trouble?"
"Calm down, Mitch, I didn't cause too much trouble."
Mitch then grumbled something his partner couldn't hear, and with the bunny walked over to his computer. He then picked up the strange device, and was reminded of the day when he was trapped in the mall with his cousin.

He looked up at the bunny digimon who was now sound asleep on his shoulder. "Terriermon." He muttered, removing his partner from his shoulder to the bed and changed into his p.j's he climbed in and went into a bit of troubled sleep.
Gary was the next one Taichi dropped off. He picked up his bags and headed upstairs to his apartment. He knew that the others would be meeting up again tomarrow, which was good. Then again was tomarrow the right time."About time you got home." said a voice as a small gray dragon appeared out of no where on Gary's shoulder.
He dropped his keys then in suprise. "Drakemon I told you not to do that." He muttered a bit irritated.
"What can I say, I like supriseing you every now and then. Besides what good is it having a teleportation ability if you can't use it."
Gary then shook his head as he picked up his keys unlocked the door, and walked inside. The apartment was dark, meaning his mom must have gone out already. He sighed as he put his bag and keys on the table. "So anything interesting happen today?" He asked scratching Drakemon's eye lids some.
The dragon digimon crooned a bit, before focusing. "After following you guys for a little while because I got bored at the apartment. I thought I saw something, a yellow kitsune like digimon following the car too." He commented lightly.
"So then what?"
"Well I followed it for a distance, but it seemed to know I was coming and vanished from sight. I haven't seen it for the rest of the day."
"That is strange." Gary said streching a bit as he walked into his bedroom. "Maybe you should follow me again tomarrow, to see if you can spot anything."
Drakemon nodded as he floated over to the little nest in the upper corner of the room. "Sounds like a good idea." He muttered getting settled.
He nodded and changed into his p.j.'s.
Drakemon then openned his eyes again. "So Gary, do you like that Michelle girl?" He asked.
Gary grumbled and cursed himself, for leaving his mind open to Drakemon. He could tell the little dragon was smirking, as he went red in the cheeks. "Well she is cute. Then again though, I'm not sure, if I would be able to fit her in my life. With you around it gets a bit of a handle."
"I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out. Besides, you are going to have to tell your friends sometime about me. The sooner, the better." He added.
"I agree with that one Drakemon." Gary muttered turning out the lights, crawled into bed and went to sleep.
Taichi's car pulled up the driveway, as Michelle climbed out, she turned and gave the knowing look to Ashley. She returned it as Taichi's car drove away.
She gave a small sigh and pushed her white hair out of her face. She then walked around to the back part of her house. She did have to admit it was pretty big, and in one of the nicer area's of Japan.
One thing that did puzzle her was the fact that Taichi refused to let her pay him back for the gas that he used up going this distance. She then shrugged her shoulders and entered through the back gate.
She looked around the yard, it was always her favorite spot. The small pond, the grass, trees and small path that weaved through. It was nothing like the island she lived on, but she was getting used to it.
She then walked over to the pond and set her bag down. She could see the moon shining in its reflection. Michelle then felt a familar prescence. "You can come out now, no one is around."
Not too far behind her a yellow fox like creature appeared in the shadows. Michelle was used to the digimon doing that now. The kitsune seemed to wait her command. "You can relax Renamon, and report."
Renamon then strolled over to her with grace in her step, and kneeled down. "While following you today I sensed another creature. It was a strange dragon, and it also appeared to have the teleporting ability. I was able, to lose it with no problem." She said.
Michelle then smiled. "Good job Renamon. Anyway wake me up early I want to start up our training regement again just in case." She said.
The fox nodded stood up and then vanished. Sleep well Michelle She sent.
You too Renamon She then turned and opened the door to her room. She then changed into her p.j's, climbed into bed and went fast asleep.
Taichi had made it to Ashley's house and had walked the girl to the door. He then kissed her goodnight walked back to his car, and drove away.
Ashley watched him until the car was out of her vision and stepped into the door. Locking it behind her, she moved over and set her bag under the table. After reading a note saying her mom was out with another boyfriend again, she walked over to the fridge and pulled out some food.
After eating some she began to un-do her hair as she walked over to her bedroom. When she walked inside she first looked over to her lab-top computer. That was where the device was and that strange egg.
Both of those things, had appeared not too long after she had moved to Tokyo. She then changed into her p.j's and walked over to where the egg was and sat down in a chair.
The device, was red in color, as a black cord streched from it to the egg. The egg itself seemed to change color, and she hoped it was a good sign, that it would be hatching soon. She then touched the egg with her fingertips, and smiled some. It always seemed to cheer her up a bit, despite how her mom treated her.
After watching the egg a bit, more, she stood up and walked over to her large sized bed. Looking at the egg one last time, she pulled the covers up, and went to sleep.
Little did she know that the device gave a bit of a glow, as the egg cracked.
Taichi opened the door to the apartment and walked inside. He figured Hikari would be home by now, but didn't pay much mind to it. He could have swore he sensed something following them all day today. He would have to ask Agumon about it tomarrow, a small trip to the Digital World.
It was no problem, lately he had been able to go there without help from his sister. It seemed to weird him out, because the others kept saying they couldn't get through since the incident with Black War Greymon.
He then shrugged it off, as he walked into his room. He wasn't feeling very tired so he sat down at the computer and logged on the internet, to see if any of the others were online, or to check the Digidestined message board for any new destined.
Hikari came home late for once in a rare time. She had accidently fallen asleep over at Takeru's and had to run home. She was glad that for once, the door didn't creak as she walked inside.
She made it to the back, and walked into her room. She had planned that since Taichi was the one who was always late, she could suprise him, and ask questions about his dreams. She knew it was too late though when she entered the room. Her brother was already asleep in his bed. She could hear the muttering.
Sighing some Hikari changed, petted her partner goodnight and climbed into bed, falling into a peaceful sleep.
