Chapter Six
Michelle rolled over in her bed, the thoughts and feelings of last night going through her head. She had first off gone to Gary's place to find out what was wrong with him. She was angry and upset. That was when after stating her case he had pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard and full of passion.
She then sat up in her bed staring at the wall things going through her mind. Gary did love and care for her and proved it last night, but what was she going to do. She was going to see him and Mitch. She still had to pretend to be Mitch's girlfriend, but at the same time she was in love with Gary.
Michelle put her face in her hands her shoulder length white hair tumbling down. They were all meeting at her house today, and she had to prepare herself. Pulling out of bed she walked over to her closet and began picking out clothes.
She chose a black tank top, with a blue jean skirt, then pulled her hair up in a fluffy bun. She looked at herself in the mirror, the same haunted eyes looked back at her. She still kept having those dreams, every night, the last one was with a guy that looked similar to Taichi.
She then shook her head to clear her thoughts and walked out to the living room to wait for the others.
Gary took a deep breath as he pulled a shirt on with his shorts. He would be seeing Michelle today, but with Mitch hanging all over her. He would have to keep in check if he wanted to look normal, no matter what was happening.
He knew that what she did with Mitch would all be pretend, but it made him wonder, if it was fake. He then mentally slapped himself, after last night everything should make sense. At the same time though it didn't and Gary was confused.
He thought about asking Taichi about relationships, since he was with Ashley, the only problem was that he couldn't tell him, because somehow it would fall back to Mitch, and he couldn't hurt his cousin.
Then what am I doing now? I'm just going behind his back, with his girlfriend. He thought, then last night came to mind and pushed the previous thought to the back of his head. He then looked at the clock, and headed out the door.
Ashley ran a brush through her long hair, as she looked in the mirror, last night was something she could never forget, she and Taichi now had another thing in common, both were chosen. It pleased Ashley that she didn't have to hide her secret to her boyfriend any more, and he seemed more open with her now.
Her eyes moved over to where her partner was sleeping and sighed. The cat seemed fine after the previous battles, and it was thanks to Taichi and his partner who saved them both. She couldn't help, but look down where her digivice was sitting on the table, she then put it in her pocket.
Felixmon opened her cat like eyes and gave a yawn. "Meeting the others today?" She asked., and slowly stood up.
Ashley nodded. "Yep, and you might have company. Taichi said he was bringing his partner over today, to teach you how to defend yourself."
"Great just what I need a talking dinasoar giving me tips on how to fight." Felixmon commented.
"Would you rather have yesterday repeated over again, and not get saved again?"
The feline digimon sighed. "I guess your right." She muttered, and jumped down from her perch and streched.
There was a knock on the door, and after checking herself one last time she went over to it. Taichi was standing there with his partner, and he gave Ashley a hug. "You know we could drop the others and I can take you on a tour in the Digital Plain." He suggested into her hair, his voice a bit muffled.
Ashley pulled away, and gave a smile. "Maybe, but I think we should meet up with the others first then, the Digital World later."
"Fine by me." Taichi said taking her hand before turning to Agumon. "I'm sure Felixmon is in Ashley's bedroom, make sure to work her hard."
Agumon nodded. "Sure thing Taichi." He said and started moving off a smile on his face.
"Oh and Agumon, don't eat all the food."
Agumon stopped and stamped his foot in the ground. "Nuts, almost got away with it." He mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, Taichi." Agumon said and moved off to Ashley's room.
Taichi gave a small smile off at his partner grumbling a bit, before turning to Ashley, a light that seemed to be in his tired eyes. "Ready to go?"
She nodded. "You bet."
The two then walked to the car, and Taichi drove off, hoping that his partner wouldn't just eat all day.
Mitch began to hum to himself as he walked over to Michelle's house. He had her for a girlfriend at last, and it felt great. He was happy when Gary told him he only thought of the girl as a friend. He did a bit of a small jump as he fixed his shirt.
So far the day was going good, he had locked Terriermon in his room so the small bunny digimon didn't cause any trouble. The only thing he hoped was that the rabit wouldn't wreck his room in boredoom or go on the internet and charge up the bill.
He sighed as he walked along, he wanted to tell the others about his partner so badly, but he didn't know if he could. What if there were hate groups about digimon, that was all he knew in America. He had heard about the Japanese digidestined, but he didn't know who they were. Mitch then smiled, all of them seemed to be good at hiding themselves from the camera.
The only ones that were seen on camera now a days on the private news channels were of the chosen in West Shinjuki, they didn't really have much of a choice to avoid the news crews. Though they seemed to be handling themselfs fine so far.
Mitch then turned around a corner and saw Michelle's house up ahead. What he didn't notice as he walked to the door, was a yellow kitsune watching him from a tree.
Michelle opened the door and gave Mitch a smile as he hugged her. He then noticed the dark circles. "Didn't sleep well?" He asked a bit concerned.
She nodded. "Why don't you come in, the others haven't arrived yet, but should be here soon." She muttered.
Mitch then moved in and sat down on the couch, with Michelle by him. He put an arm around her shoulder, and watched as she yawned some. She then turned to him, "I have to take out the trash, why don't you wait here?" She suggested.
"Okay, no problem, I'll just watch some t.v."
Michelle gave him a small smile and stroked the small white streak in his hair, before turning and walking to the kitchen. Once inside she took a deep breath and leaned against the fridge for a moment. "Calm down Michelle." she mummered to herself and picked up the garbage.
She then slide open the back door and walked outside. She then saw something in the shadows, and gasped a bit dropping the garbage bag on the ground. She thought it was Renamon, but she couldn't sense anything.
Gary then stepped out of the shadows, and Michelle relaxed, he then easily pulled her into his arms and looked down at her for a moment. "You look beautiful today." He muttered and kissed her, his arms wrapping around her.
Michelle then moved her arms around Gary's neck and deepened the kiss, as she suddenly felt better, then she did earlier, this was right. She could feel it inside of her.
Gary gave a smile in the kiss as his hands went up and down her back massaging it a bit, also deepening the kiss even more so.
That was when Michelle paused she heard the t.v. in the background, and remembered who else was there. She then moved a hand down to Gary's chest, trying to stop him, but he wouldn't. That was when Michelle slowly broke the kiss reluctant though at the same time.
Gary tried to kiss her again, and got very close to her his lips touching hers. "Gary, Mitch is here." She mummered into his mouth. That stopped him as he pulled away from her, and just watched with his greenish brown eyes.
"Tonight." Michelle whispered, getting close to Gary and giving him a kiss on the lips for a moment and pulled away. "Now sneak out to the front, and wait a bit, before knocking." Michelle said and began to make sure she still looked the same as before.
In a second Gary was over the fence, and Michelle threw the garbage away and fanned herself down, so she would be calm and cool. She then walked inside and joined Mitch on the couch.
"What took so long?" He asked.
"Nothing, just had a problem getting the back dumpster to open." She commented.
Mitch nodded and the two watched t.v. for a little while, still waiting. Michelle slowly began to relax, even when Mitch put an arm around her shoulders.
You seem to be handling things pretty well considering what is going on Came Renamon's mental voice.
You should talk Came Michelle's mental reply.
Why don't you just tell Mitch the truth, instead of playing this game, it won't help him, much and you might lose a friend permantly.
I can't tell him the truth he wouldn't be able to handle it
Then don't get caught Renamon answered and her voice was gone.
Michelle came back to reality when she saw Mitch was letting Taichi, Ashley and Gary inside. Don't look at him She chided herself in her mind as the others sat down and began talking.
"Sorry about not meeting up, but I had some things to take care of." Taichi muttered.
Michelle nodded, but turned to Ashley. "By the way did you know that you didn't shut the door tight enough when you left yesterday. The wind blew it open."
Ashley nodded and just waved her hand in the air as an apology. She didn't remember going through the door, she went through the computer, at least she thought she did. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Taichi look supicious, but seemed to cover it well.
Gary watched as Mitch kept his arm around Michelle's shoulder in a relaxed way, but still held her close, it made him want to punch his cousin. Remember you are not dating her He thought and paid more attention to Taichi and Ashley as the two talked.
"So school is starting up again." Taichi said.
As if on some kind of start everyone seemed to pull out their schedules at once, and Taichi gathered them up. "Lets see, first class Ashley, Gary and I are in, second Michelle, Gary, and Mitch, while Ashley and I are in different classes. We all have third and fourth in the entire group, Michelle and Ashley in sixth, while us guys have different classes, seventh and eighth I have with Michelle, Gary, and Ashley. Everybody got that?"
Most of them nodded some, as they each compared schedules, Ashley giving Taichi as small smile. At least they would all have some kind of company, though Taichi didn't say that he had sixth with Mitch, he couldn't really get to know the guy much. He seemed to much of a loner, kinda like Yamato, but it felt different somehow.
The group kept chatting every now and bit, but Taichi stopped for a second. He was getting that strange feeling of being watched again. As he looked around he noticed that the others didn't seem to feel it. He slowly stood up. "I'll be right back." He muttered and moved away.
Ashley watched Taichi walk away, and she felt a bit worried, he seemed to have a look on his face that seemed to mean trouble. She was the only one out of the group to know he was a chosen. She found herself crossing her fingers deciding that if he didn't come back soon enough she was going to follow.
Taichi moved swiftly through Michelle's house that feeling of being watched making his skin crawl. He could feel the thing from his friends back yard, and pulled out his digivice just in case. He carefully slid open the back door and stepped outside.
The grass felt soft against his socked feet as he moved into the middle of the yard, that same feeling still inside of him. His eyes scanned the area seeing nothing, but he raised his digivice up in the air as it gave off a glow. Show yourself! He sent out in his mind.
It took a moment, but his digivice flashed, pinpointing something. That something did appear and it leaped to the ground, in a crouched position.
Taichi pulled down his digivice and pointed it at the thing. The creature was cloaked in brown, from it's entire body. The only thing he could see was it's yellow eyes, but Taichi could feel the evil coming from it.
"It has been a long time Yagami." It hissed out, moving on the ground, like a cat ready to pounce.
"What are you talking about. I don't know you." Taichi stated boldly.
"But you do." It hissed out and Taichi could sense something was about to happen his mind kept shouting out danger move away, but he couldn't. "You do." It said and suddenly leaped at him vanishing in the air.
Taichi quickly ducked down, at the last minute and whirled around. The creature had reappeared. "Why are you doing this." He said, finding his muscles suddenly freezing in place.
"I want you dead, before the prophecy comes true." The creature's eyes then glowed as its pupils seem to become little dots, as Taichi became hypnotized by it. It began to slink around Taichi getting ready to strike, and Taichi could feel it's eyes boring into him, making him stand still.
Everything was freezing around Taichi, he couldn't move, and couldn't sort out his thoughts, he was trapped in this things power, and couldn't do anything about it. He tried to move, but he felt seperated from his body, almost like he was going to have to watch his own death.
The creature had been waiting for so long now, that it had to get it right. The things claws dig into the ground as it got ready to do the finishing blow, it then leaped right at Taichi's throat......
Ashley looked around the group with dismay. What was taking Taichi so long in getting back. She was starting to get worried, but the others didn't seem to notice. Carefully she looked down at her digivice her boyfriend had been gone for 15 minutes now.
Gary carefully looked over at Ashley as he sat in the chair. His eyes met her worried ones, and he gave her a questioning look. Her eyes seemed to answer that he wouldn't understand.
Ashley slowly stood up her brown hair tumbling down as she gave Gary a last look saying she will be right, back she was going to check on Taichi.
Gary couldn't seem to shake the feeling that something bad was happening as he watched Ashley's disappearing back. He then sighed and his eyes trailed over to the couple and he felt sick when he saw Mitch trying to kiss Michelle.
That was time seemed to slow down, as Ashley's scream seemed to ring through the air. Gary didn't even see what Michelle and Mitch were doing, he jumped up and ran in the direction of the scream, when he was almost there, a bright light filled his vision and he had to cover his eyes....
Taichi wasn't even sure how it had happened the creature was heading for the final kill, when he began to feel this strange tingling in his arm, then through his body, both his spirit and body didn't seem to be frozen anymore.
That was when the tingling became heat, and overwhelming heat and time seemed to slow down, as Taichi caught a glimpse of something very familar on his right arm, as it started glowing. He could feel the thing behind him, the satisfaction from it that it was finally going to kill it's prey, how wrong it was.
Time then speeded up as Taichi whipped around and raised up his right arm, and slashed right across the creature. He could hear Ashley's scream, as a bright light filled the area, blinding him.
When it was over Taichi slowly stared at the creature, it's cloak was gone, and all he could see was pure darkness, something not even the light could penatrate. He watched as blood and data seemed to be coming out of it.
"Taichi are you okay!" Came a shout, but it seemed far off.
The creature stared at him for a moment before smirking. "I'll be back Yagami, and you won't be ready, next time.." It said the voice cold and full of forebodding.
It was the last thing Taichi saw as he fell to the ground, completely drained. He didn't even notice Gary and Ashley run over to him, as exaustion took over and he felt nothing, and fell into a dreamless faint.
Ashley couldn't believe what she saw, if that was what the daily life of being a chosen was like she didn't want to be part of it. She slowly came to her senses as Gary shook her, but only started moving when the other boy was kneeling over Taichi.
Gary began to check Taichi's body, to see if there was anything wrong. Nothing seemed to be, but Ashley looked like something terrible had happened. He watched her numbly walk over to kneel down by him. "Nothing is wrong with him, he just seems tired."
She nodded, pulling back her hair and touched Taichi's forehead. She knew Gary wanted answers, but she couldn't give them. She then closed her eyes for a moment, and seemed to feel Taichi's spirit, and gave him energy.
Gary watched with suprise as Taichi slowly opened his eyes, and began to sit up, with Ashley helping him. "What is going on?" He asked.
Taichi slowly met Gary's eyes, he felt worn, exausted, and his face was very pale, but Gary looked at his eyes, and it seemed to tell him that it would all be explained the next morning. Nodding, he helped Ashley move Taichi to his car, he then helped his friend inside, and watched as Ashley drove off.
Gary walked back inside of Michelle's yard, and looked around, it didn't even show what had happened, yet, something did. He felt numb himself as he watched Michelle and Mitch walk outside, he was wondering why they weren't even there.
"What happened?" Mitch asked, as he looked around.
"Nothing, Taichi, just fainted, and Ashley freaked out a bit." Gary answered. "She then took him home for rest."
"Okay, I hope he feels better." Mitch answered and walked inside.
Gary looked over and Michelle and almost had a heartattack, her eyes were suddenly silver. He had a strange sense of familarity, for a moment, before she gave him a knowing wink and walked back inside.
He stood there for a moment running his hand through his brownish blonde hair looking around the yard. He then followed the girl back inside.
Gary couldn't sleep, he had seen those same silver eyes before, but he couldn't place where. As he sorted through his thoughts, he didn't even hear the first knocks at his window.
When they came again he walked over and opened it as Michelle stepped through. She was dressed in black again, which seemed to make her hair stand out even more. He then took her hand and moved her over to his bed where the two sat for awhile, and didn't say anything.
That was when Michelle moved closer to Gary, and looked him in the eyes. He stared back before bending down and kissing her.
For this night they kept kissing each other, out of comfort, and trying to get the shock of earlier off their minds. It wasn't the same passion, as the night before, but it was still intense.
Soon the two were lieing on Gary's bed, as he held Michelle there. "Please, stay here." He whispered into her hair.
"I can't Gary you know the reason." She whispered back, but she didn't move.
"I don't care wake up before dawn and get back, but for now just stay here." He added and as she turned around they kissed for a moment, before slowly shutting their eyes and falling asleep, Michelle's head near Gary's as they held each other.
Danny made his way through the tall grass, it was his turn to gather water for the day. Akira had gone out exploring some more with his partner. More than ever Danny wished Akira had taken Drakemon with him, but was glad the little dragon had stayed back at the hut.
He took a break and rested for a moment catching his breath, and wiping the sweat off his forehead. He looked at the several buckets on the ground, remembering Akira telling him to get enough for three people.
That completely stumped Danny as he picked up the buckets and started walking again. Akira kept talking about another person being on the Digital Plain with the two of them. His friend had also often gone off to talk to her.
He had been in this strange place for over 3 weeks now and he still didn't see this mystery girl. Yet Akira had been there for 7 years, and saw her everyday, at the same time he was mystified with the fact that anyone could live here that long.
Danny reached the stream and began to fill the buckets, with cool clean water, and still thought about it. He looked at his reflection in the stream for a moment, tan skin, greenish brown eyes, and brownish blonde hair, and sighed.
As he worked he didn't even notice someone come up from behind him and push him into the stream.
He came up out of the water sputtering for a moment. "Drakemon if I get my hands on...." He didn't finish as he met a pair of silver eyes. He then looked carefully as he stood up to see a girl standing there with white colored hair, tan skin, and wearing a strange outfit. Danny slowly stood up, making sure he wouldn't slip back down in the stream.
The girl watched him for a moment, as he walked back onto land dripping wet, yet she stayed her distance and not a drop touched her. "So your the new chosen, Akira keeps talking about. You seem rather clumsy to me." She commented and bent down to fill up a bucket that was knocked over.
Danny stood there completely hooked, the girl was beautiful. "I'm guessing your the girl who Akira mentioned that has been here longer than he has."
"You could say that." She muttered and picked up a couple of buckets.
"That would mean you have been here longer than seven years?"
"Much longer." With that the girl began to walk into the woods.
"Wait I didn't get your name!" Danny shouted out.
The girl turned her silver eyes on him again. "Mikira." She answered before turning and disappearing through the woods.
Danny watched the spot where Mikira had vanished, picked up the buckets filled with water turned and headed back to the hut, swearing to get revenge on Drakemon for what the dragon did.
Taichi walked into Gary's house, his friend's mom had let him in saying where Gary's room was before walking out the door. He still felt shaky about what happened yesterday, even his mom seemed to notice something, but he was able to get out of the house.
He then followed the directions given to him and found Gary's room, he slowly opened the door and walked in. What he then saw completly shocked him, there was Gary and Michelle both of them dressed, but there at the same time.
Gary seemed to slowly open his eyes and saw Taichi standing there, and looked over at the sleep Michelle. "I can explain.." He began.
"You better." Taichi answered his eyes still showing the shock.
Well that's it for this chapter, bit of a cliff hanger right there. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, please read and review.

Agumon nodded. "Sure thing Taichi." He said and started moving off a smile on his face.
"Oh and Agumon, don't eat all the food."
Agumon stopped and stamped his foot in the ground. "Nuts, almost got away with it." He mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, Taichi." Agumon said and moved off to Ashley's room.
Taichi gave a small smile off at his partner grumbling a bit, before turning to Ashley, a light that seemed to be in his tired eyes. "Ready to go?"
She nodded. "You bet."
The two then walked to the car, and Taichi drove off, hoping that his partner wouldn't just eat all day.

The group kept chatting every now and bit, but Taichi stopped for a second. He was getting that strange feeling of being watched again. As he looked around he noticed that the others didn't seem to feel it. He slowly stood up. "I'll be right back." He muttered and moved away.
Ashley watched Taichi walk away, and she felt a bit worried, he seemed to have a look on his face that seemed to mean trouble. She was the only one out of the group to know he was a chosen. She found herself crossing her fingers deciding that if he didn't come back soon enough she was going to follow.
Taichi moved swiftly through Michelle's house that feeling of being watched making his skin crawl. He could feel the thing from his friends back yard, and pulled out his digivice just in case. He carefully slid open the back door and stepped outside.
The grass felt soft against his socked feet as he moved into the middle of the yard, that same feeling still inside of him. His eyes scanned the area seeing nothing, but he raised his digivice up in the air as it gave off a glow. Show yourself! He sent out in his mind.
It took a moment, but his digivice flashed, pinpointing something. That something did appear and it leaped to the ground, in a crouched position.
Taichi pulled down his digivice and pointed it at the thing. The creature was cloaked in brown, from it's entire body. The only thing he could see was it's yellow eyes, but Taichi could feel the evil coming from it.
"It has been a long time Yagami." It hissed out, moving on the ground, like a cat ready to pounce.
"What are you talking about. I don't know you." Taichi stated boldly.
"But you do." It hissed out and Taichi could sense something was about to happen his mind kept shouting out danger move away, but he couldn't. "You do." It said and suddenly leaped at him vanishing in the air.
Taichi quickly ducked down, at the last minute and whirled around. The creature had reappeared. "Why are you doing this." He said, finding his muscles suddenly freezing in place.
"I want you dead, before the prophecy comes true." The creature's eyes then glowed as its pupils seem to become little dots, as Taichi became hypnotized by it. It began to slink around Taichi getting ready to strike, and Taichi could feel it's eyes boring into him, making him stand still.
Everything was freezing around Taichi, he couldn't move, and couldn't sort out his thoughts, he was trapped in this things power, and couldn't do anything about it. He tried to move, but he felt seperated from his body, almost like he was going to have to watch his own death.
The creature had been waiting for so long now, that it had to get it right. The things claws dig into the ground as it got ready to do the finishing blow, it then leaped right at Taichi's throat......
Ashley looked around the group with dismay. What was taking Taichi so long in getting back. She was starting to get worried, but the others didn't seem to notice. Carefully she looked down at her digivice her boyfriend had been gone for 15 minutes now.
Gary carefully looked over at Ashley as he sat in the chair. His eyes met her worried ones, and he gave her a questioning look. Her eyes seemed to answer that he wouldn't understand.
Ashley slowly stood up her brown hair tumbling down as she gave Gary a last look saying she will be right, back she was going to check on Taichi.
Gary couldn't seem to shake the feeling that something bad was happening as he watched Ashley's disappearing back. He then sighed and his eyes trailed over to the couple and he felt sick when he saw Mitch trying to kiss Michelle.
That was time seemed to slow down, as Ashley's scream seemed to ring through the air. Gary didn't even see what Michelle and Mitch were doing, he jumped up and ran in the direction of the scream, when he was almost there, a bright light filled his vision and he had to cover his eyes....
Taichi wasn't even sure how it had happened the creature was heading for the final kill, when he began to feel this strange tingling in his arm, then through his body, both his spirit and body didn't seem to be frozen anymore.
That was when the tingling became heat, and overwhelming heat and time seemed to slow down, as Taichi caught a glimpse of something very familar on his right arm, as it started glowing. He could feel the thing behind him, the satisfaction from it that it was finally going to kill it's prey, how wrong it was.
Time then speeded up as Taichi whipped around and raised up his right arm, and slashed right across the creature. He could hear Ashley's scream, as a bright light filled the area, blinding him.
When it was over Taichi slowly stared at the creature, it's cloak was gone, and all he could see was pure darkness, something not even the light could penatrate. He watched as blood and data seemed to be coming out of it.
"Taichi are you okay!" Came a shout, but it seemed far off.
The creature stared at him for a moment before smirking. "I'll be back Yagami, and you won't be ready, next time.." It said the voice cold and full of forebodding.
It was the last thing Taichi saw as he fell to the ground, completely drained. He didn't even notice Gary and Ashley run over to him, as exaustion took over and he felt nothing, and fell into a dreamless faint.
Ashley couldn't believe what she saw, if that was what the daily life of being a chosen was like she didn't want to be part of it. She slowly came to her senses as Gary shook her, but only started moving when the other boy was kneeling over Taichi.
Gary began to check Taichi's body, to see if there was anything wrong. Nothing seemed to be, but Ashley looked like something terrible had happened. He watched her numbly walk over to kneel down by him. "Nothing is wrong with him, he just seems tired."
She nodded, pulling back her hair and touched Taichi's forehead. She knew Gary wanted answers, but she couldn't give them. She then closed her eyes for a moment, and seemed to feel Taichi's spirit, and gave him energy.
Gary watched with suprise as Taichi slowly opened his eyes, and began to sit up, with Ashley helping him. "What is going on?" He asked.
Taichi slowly met Gary's eyes, he felt worn, exausted, and his face was very pale, but Gary looked at his eyes, and it seemed to tell him that it would all be explained the next morning. Nodding, he helped Ashley move Taichi to his car, he then helped his friend inside, and watched as Ashley drove off.
Gary walked back inside of Michelle's yard, and looked around, it didn't even show what had happened, yet, something did. He felt numb himself as he watched Michelle and Mitch walk outside, he was wondering why they weren't even there.
"What happened?" Mitch asked, as he looked around.
"Nothing, Taichi, just fainted, and Ashley freaked out a bit." Gary answered. "She then took him home for rest."
"Okay, I hope he feels better." Mitch answered and walked inside.
Gary looked over and Michelle and almost had a heartattack, her eyes were suddenly silver. He had a strange sense of familarity, for a moment, before she gave him a knowing wink and walked back inside.
He stood there for a moment running his hand through his brownish blonde hair looking around the yard. He then followed the girl back inside.
Gary couldn't sleep, he had seen those same silver eyes before, but he couldn't place where. As he sorted through his thoughts, he didn't even hear the first knocks at his window.
When they came again he walked over and opened it as Michelle stepped through. She was dressed in black again, which seemed to make her hair stand out even more. He then took her hand and moved her over to his bed where the two sat for awhile, and didn't say anything.
That was when Michelle moved closer to Gary, and looked him in the eyes. He stared back before bending down and kissing her.
For this night they kept kissing each other, out of comfort, and trying to get the shock of earlier off their minds. It wasn't the same passion, as the night before, but it was still intense.
Soon the two were lieing on Gary's bed, as he held Michelle there. "Please, stay here." He whispered into her hair.
"I can't Gary you know the reason." She whispered back, but she didn't move.
"I don't care wake up before dawn and get back, but for now just stay here." He added and as she turned around they kissed for a moment, before slowly shutting their eyes and falling asleep, Michelle's head near Gary's as they held each other.
Danny made his way through the tall grass, it was his turn to gather water for the day. Akira had gone out exploring some more with his partner. More than ever Danny wished Akira had taken Drakemon with him, but was glad the little dragon had stayed back at the hut.
He took a break and rested for a moment catching his breath, and wiping the sweat off his forehead. He looked at the several buckets on the ground, remembering Akira telling him to get enough for three people.
That completely stumped Danny as he picked up the buckets and started walking again. Akira kept talking about another person being on the Digital Plain with the two of them. His friend had also often gone off to talk to her.
He had been in this strange place for over 3 weeks now and he still didn't see this mystery girl. Yet Akira had been there for 7 years, and saw her everyday, at the same time he was mystified with the fact that anyone could live here that long.
Danny reached the stream and began to fill the buckets, with cool clean water, and still thought about it. He looked at his reflection in the stream for a moment, tan skin, greenish brown eyes, and brownish blonde hair, and sighed.
As he worked he didn't even notice someone come up from behind him and push him into the stream.
He came up out of the water sputtering for a moment. "Drakemon if I get my hands on...." He didn't finish as he met a pair of silver eyes. He then looked carefully as he stood up to see a girl standing there with white colored hair, tan skin, and wearing a strange outfit. Danny slowly stood up, making sure he wouldn't slip back down in the stream.
The girl watched him for a moment, as he walked back onto land dripping wet, yet she stayed her distance and not a drop touched her. "So your the new chosen, Akira keeps talking about. You seem rather clumsy to me." She commented and bent down to fill up a bucket that was knocked over.
Danny stood there completely hooked, the girl was beautiful. "I'm guessing your the girl who Akira mentioned that has been here longer than he has."
"You could say that." She muttered and picked up a couple of buckets.
"That would mean you have been here longer than seven years?"
"Much longer." With that the girl began to walk into the woods.
"Wait I didn't get your name!" Danny shouted out.
The girl turned her silver eyes on him again. "Mikira." She answered before turning and disappearing through the woods.
Danny watched the spot where Mikira had vanished, picked up the buckets filled with water turned and headed back to the hut, swearing to get revenge on Drakemon for what the dragon did.
Taichi walked into Gary's house, his friend's mom had let him in saying where Gary's room was before walking out the door. He still felt shaky about what happened yesterday, even his mom seemed to notice something, but he was able to get out of the house.
He then followed the directions given to him and found Gary's room, he slowly opened the door and walked in. What he then saw completly shocked him, there was Gary and Michelle both of them dressed, but there at the same time.
Gary seemed to slowly open his eyes and saw Taichi standing there, and looked over at the sleep Michelle. "I can explain.." He began.
"You better." Taichi answered his eyes still showing the shock.
Well that's it for this chapter, bit of a cliff hanger right there. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, please read and review.
