I know I showed a bit of a cliff hanger at the end of the last chapter, but I kinda wanted a little action. Also that creature that Taichi fought, will not be back for a little while, so you fans that liked that part, sorry it will have to wait. Also I know I keep bringing up things about the tamers in my chapters. I might use them for a small part, and if I do use them only a select few will be seen. Anyway enjoy this chapter, and please 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 Seven

Taichi still stood there watching Gary as the teen turned to wake Michelle up. The girl slowly opened her eyes, and tried to kiss Gary, but he pointed to something. Michelle turned and saw Taichi standing there her own eyes widened in suprise.

He met Michelle's eyes. "Maybe you better go, Gary and I need to have a little chat."

Michelle firmly shook her head staying in Gary's arms. "I'm staying here so you won't do any harm to him."

Taichi sighed and shook his head as Gary moved his hands a bit up and down Michelle's arms as the two both sat up in the bed. "Where to start." Taichi muttered more to himself.

"How about lets start with you not telling Mitch." Michelle said.

"How can I not tell Mitch, I mean he is my friend too." Taichi commented.

"Don't you think I haven't thought of that too even before this." Came Gary's voice soft and even, as he looked away from Taichi, and moved a bit off of Michelle to stand in the corner of his room.

Michelle scowled before moving off the bed and walking right up to Taichi, to look him straight in the eyes. What she saw were startling alert eyes, but a certain wise age behind them.

What Taichi saw were a pair of silver eyes, that seemed to look into him and pull something out that seemed to be lost.

"Gary and I are meant to be." Michelle said her eyes flashing.

Taichi stood strong, as he watched Michelle, as she slowly moved away to hold Gary's hand and to squeeze it. "You know how hard this is going to be." He muttered.

"It doesn't have to be." Michelle said to Taichi.

Taichi was too tired and he was having another dizzy spell, and so many things were happening to him at the moment that putting up a fight, just didn't seem worth it. "Fine, I will keep quiet, but only for so long." He said determined.

That was when Michelle moved over and hugged him. "Thanks so much Taichi, you will see that this is worth it." She muttered.

"You know I liked you better when you were not so boy crazy." Taichi muttered as a joke.

"Hey, what both you and Ashley have the same mind?"

"It seems like it at times."

Gary walked over to shake Taichi's hand in thanks, as Michelle turned away. He then looked into the other boy's eyes and almost flinched at what he saw there. Taichi's eyes seemed to show something that couldn't be described, but knew that it was a look that would haunt him forever.

Taichi remained standing as Gary went to take one of Michelle's hands to hold. He then cleared his throat a bit to knocked away his wave of dizziness. "I originally came Gary to ask you exactly what you saw yesterday." He said looking at him.

Gary thought for a moment, as yesterday went through his mind. "Well at first, time seemed to slow down, I heard Ashley's scream and started to head out to see what was going on, not looking back. I remember seeing a bright flash of light, as soon as I came outside I saw you stand there dazed, with a strange thing on your arm. The next thing you fell to the ground and blacked out."

"I see." Taichi muttered and put a hand up to his chin looking at the ground. "Anything else?"

"That is about it, I just helped you to the car, Ashley then drove off." Gary said. "Why should there be something else?"

Taichi shook his head. "No I just wanted to know that's all."

Gary raised his eyebrow in suspicion, and Michelle seemed to think their friend was hiding something. Though they too were also hiding something. Silence gathered in the room for a long time as all of them didn't say anything.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Michelle looked around quickly trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Taichi didn't seem to notice anything much else he was trying not too fall asleep.

"Hey Taichi I think your pocket is beeping." Came Gary's voice breaking the silence.

Taichi looked down at his pocket and pulled out a mini computer. "I have mail." He muttered and openned the lid, why Gary and Michelle remained mystified.

"What could be so important?" Michelle asked, as Gary shrugged.

Meanwhile Taichi clicked on the message.

Taichi,

Koushiro informed us that you have Agumon back so we need your help. There is a digimon attack in the city, several of them, we need back up. We already picked up the others, and we are heading now using Imperialdramon to pick you up, we will be there soon.

Daisuke

Taichi sighed as he closed the mini computer and pocketed it before turning to Michelle and Gary. "Guys I have to go."

"Why do you have to go?" Michelle asked.

"I have business to take care of." Taichi answered and made his way to the door and was gone.

Gary held Michelle back as the girl tried to go after him. "Wait, he will tell us if it is something important later." He muttered.

The girl just nodded.

Taichi hurried down the street so he could be far away from Michelle's house. Couldn't have picked a better time, Daisuke He thought, and suddenly felt a strong wind and looked up seeing ImperialDramon there.

"Need a lift Taichi?" Came Ken's voice from above.

Taichi nodded as the familar light came down and transported him up to ImperialDramon's back. Everybody was there including Agumon, but no sign of Ashley. "Are we going to pick Ashley up?" He asked.

Takeru stepped forward. "We don't have time, besides Taichi she is a new chosen, and she needs battle experience, but not this kind."

He just shook his head a bit as ImperialDramon took off towards where the digimon were. "Wait a minute, I thought that since Tailmon got her ring back there wouldn't be any Jorgess evolution?" Taichi asked.

"Yeah it's strange, but at least we have another mega digimon to work with." Daisuke commented, as they reached the area.

Hikari looked over and saw that the news crew arrived and were filming, no hiding this time. She then held out her D3 at the same time Takeru did, and both digivice's glowed.

"Tailmon Shinka!" Tailmon was covered in a bright pink light. "Angewomon!"

"Patamon Shinka!" Patamon was covered in a yellow light! "Angemon!"

The two angels then flew to stop the digimon.

Miyako and Iori pulled out their D3's as they glowed.

"Hawkmon Shinka!"

"Armildilomon Shinka!"

"Aquilomon!"

Ankylomon!"

Taichi also noticed the camera's come around and they seemed to be filming them as he held up his digivice. "Time to go Agumon!" He shouted out, as his digivice went bright orange.

"Agumon Warp Shinka!"

"WarGreymon!"

All the digimon then flew in to take care of the others. "Don't delete them unless you have to Miyako shouted out.

"Heaven's Charm!"

"Hand of Fate!"

"Blast Rings!"

"Tail Hammer!"

"Positron Laser!"

"Terra Force!"

A news reporter stood to the side to watch the action as he picked up his microphone. "As you can see digimon are back in Tokyo, and the chosen we thought were gone are now back again defending our city, let's hope that nothing bad happens."

Several of the cameras seemed to focus on both the chosen and the digimon battling.

Gary flipped on the t.v. Michelle had gone home not too long ago, saying that it would be better. As he was watching a show the news suddenly came on. That was when his mouth dropped open, the kids there he knew them all. He turned up the volume and listened to the report.

The camera's seemed to be more on the digimon as the news reporter in the back ground said something about Odaiba chosen finnally being shown. That was when the camera moved down to the chosen below, as one bird digimon fell to the ground, and a girl with purple hair ran over to it.

That was when someone familar came up to the camera as the reporter stepped in. Gary suddenly fell off the couch as he saw the person. "Taichi." He muttered.

Taichi watched as Aquilomon fell to the ground, close to the news crew. That was when he ran over to speak to them.

"You must be a...." The reporter began but Taichi interuppted not noticing the camera on him.

"You have to get out of here it is dangerous." He said, but none of them moved as questions suddenly sprang up.

Taichi quickly ducked down as a digimon was hurled not too far from his head, as the cameraman and reporter hit the ground. After checking to see if they were all right. "I said leave before you get killed." He muttered and ran back to the battle.

Most of the news crews nodded and ran off, but a few remained to film the rest. "Your furneral." Taichi muttered and looked over at WarGreymon. "Use your dramon claws buddy!" He shouted out.

His partner nodded and began beating down the SkullSatamon.

The battle was quickly finished up, as the surviving digimon were transported back to the Digital World. All the digimon de-evolved as the chosen then walked home. Taichi wasn't too happy about the fact that they would be on the news that night, but it didn't help. He just hoped Michelle, Gary, and Mitch didn't see it.

Agumon walked by his partner's side and thought, which was a rare thing. It felt strange being back in the Real World, he wondered if it always felt like that for the others. The dinosoar sighed as he walked along. Maybe he could ask Vemon about it some other time.

Gary now stood in his room as the sun set, he couldn't get Taichi on the phone to ask him about anything, though it seemed strange that the teen didn't say anything.

"He had good reason not too." Came Drakemon's voice as the little dragon appeared out of thin air.

"What do you mean by that?" Gary asked.

"The same way you keep me hidden, Taichi might think you are a digimon hater, like the groups that are formed in America. You remember those don't you?"

Gary sighed as he looked at his digivice. "I guess your right. Maybe we should tell Taichi about you too? Maybe then he will trust me again."

"Highly doubt it, you put a hard thing on him today about you and Michelle, I don't think he will trust you for a long time. You can try though, I'm interested in meeting this partner of his." Drakemon finished and flew over to his nest area, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Gary shrugged his shoulders and sat on his bed thinking for awhile.

Michelle yawned, and changed into her p.j's, she was too tired to go over to Gary's house that night. She also didn't want what happened that day to do it again. She was just glad it was Taichi and not Mitch, but it could be Mitch next time.

It would just mean her and Gary would have to be more careful, she just crossed her fingers and hoped that Taichi wouldn't betray them. She then pulled her white hair back and crawled into bed.

That was when Renamon appeared. "I hope you know what you are doing." The kitsune remarked.

"I do, Taichi can be trusted after all." Michelle commented.

Renamon stood there eyeing her partner, the moonlight shining down on her golden body making the fox stand out. The blue eyes then went distant for a moment. "Michelle."

Michelle was about to sleep when she heard her partners voice. "What is it Renamon?" She asked.

"There is a digimon nearby."

Michelle suddenly became alert, as she stood up. "Perfect, more time for you to practice. Let's go."

Renamon then turned to her partner. "You sure?"

Michelle nodded. "I can always sleep later on, so lets get going."

Renamon nodded as the two walked outside, Renamon then picked Michelle up and leaped into the air. The slim fox jumped building to building in record time and showed up in the area. The kitsune put Michelle down and walked forward.

Michelle pulled out her digivice just in case, as the digimon walked forward.

Renamon wasted no time at all and started battling the digimon. She then flipped back and held out her arms. "Fox Leave Arrowhead!" She shouted and launched the shards.

The digimon was able to avoid some, but Renamon increased her attack. The fox digimon then ran forward as a sword formed out of her shards. "Diamond Sword!" She shouted out and in three quick slashes, the digimon was deleted.

That was when Michelle gave a big yawn, that seemed to easy, she didn't even have to have her partner evolve. That was when she felt it, eyes on her, she quickly looked around and didn't see anything, but she did feel something. "Renamon look..." She began.

It was too late, before the fox to faze away, she was hit and sent flying into a wall hard, making the kitsune black out.

That was when Michelle saw it, something that suddenly appeared for a moment. The thing had blue eyes, and smirked at her, before it vanished. Time to die, girl. It said in Michelle's mind.

Before Michelle could respond something hit her with full force, blasting on her mind making her crumble to her knees. The noise became louder, she couldn't think straight. She then became dizzy as her partner came into site, for a moment. Then something blocked her way.

The creature focused on sending the blasts into the girls mind, blow the ear drums, then everything else. It would not make the same mistake it's brother did, as it moved closer.

Michelle covered her ears as trying to block out the noise, but it seemed inward. That was when something strange happened, a strange peaceful humming began to fill her ears, it the grew stronger, as the girl felt something in her right hand. She didn't open her eyes, but just concentrated on the strange humming noise.

The creature too busy trying to kill the girl didn't notice anything, then froze, as a strange humming blasted into it's mind, holding it there, as it listened to the strange melody. It didn't even notice a lapis light slice right into its chest. Then the music faded as the creature yowled out a shriek of pain, it was defeaning, as the thing went deeper.

She openned her eyes when the inhuman shierk came out her eyes completly silver. She shoved the thing inside the creature's chest, pushing energy into it. Then the light grew brighter and Michelle saw no more.

Foolish Creature Came a voice and shadows fell over Michelle, and the girl was left alone along with her partner.

Renamon slowly came too and sat up, the kitsune wasn't sure what had happened, but stood up. She scanned the area for her partner, and found Michelle lieing on the ground, and moved over to her. The girl was pale, but Renamon didn't seem to feel anything wrong and sighed in relief.

Quickly looking around the area she picked up her partner, and leaped into the air to take the girl home.

Taichi powered down his computer as the screen went black. He then yawned, as he leaned back in his chair. It had been a long day, even his partner seemed tired. He was glad that Hikari stayed the night at Miyoko's it was much easier.

The brown haired boy moved over to his bed and crawled in. He was tired, and hoped that he would feel better in the morning. As he closed his eyes he couldn't help, but think about what had been happening lately, before he drifted off to sleep.

Akira sat on the ground and looked up at the sky his faithful partner off running around with Drakemon. It felt good to have peace for once, but he couldn't help but wonder why Danny didn't just give up, after all there was no way back home.

He sighed and laid down in the grass, so he could be hidden from the boy. It just wished it was like before Danny arrived. For one thing, Mikira could hang around often, instead of Akira going and seeing her. The girl kept him company at times, for joking around and things.

As if his wish was answered a pair of green eyes were looking at him. "You called?" Came a familar voice.

Akira sat up and smiled over at the green eyed girl. "You know I'm still not used to you reading some of my thoughts, Mikira."

"I know that just makes it more fun." Mikira said and sat down near Akira. "So is the boy still hunting around for a way back to his home?"

"Yeah, and you know his name is Danny, so why do you call him boy. I mean you never show up when he is around."

Mikira then smirked a bit.

"I mean the normal way." Akira said a bit more serious.

"You know it takes me awhile to get used to people, I prefer it that they are over being homesick before I talk, or walk around."

Akira sighed. "Yeah, but you hung around me since I first arrived in this place, and called me boy only for a month."

"That's different, I sensed something about you, besides your good to talk to, and a great sparring partner....." Mikira then froze for a second as her eyes went silver.

Akira knew what that meant, Danny must have been coming. "I'll spar with you later Mikira." He said and looked over in the direction Danny was coming from, as he felt Mikira disappear.

Danny was coming up the hill a disappointed look on his face, then he reached Akira. "I missed her again didn't I?" He asked.

Akira nodded.

"Why doesn't she come out I haven't even seen her since that day I was getting water."

"She is like that, it is a bit of a long story, but she will show up more often." Akira said, and stood up brushing the grass off of his clothes. The teen then walked into the hut leaving Danny standing there thinking.

Danny then seemed to feel eyes on him, but ignored them thinking that Drakemon was bugging him again and followed Akira into the hut.

Mikira moved out from behind a tree, and watched the boy's retreating back. She then turned and walked back through the trees where Renamon was waiting for her. She thought and pushed back the trees, disappearing.

The sun was shining brightly as Michelle opened her eyes, and slowly sat up, last night seemed to much of a mystery. She then closed her eyes again as she found it too bright to keep them open long. She felt drained and probably looked sick, today she probably would stay in bed.

As she was lying back down, suddenly something came to her mind. "Renamon." She said.

The fox digimon suddenly appeared nearby with concern in her blue eyes which was rare. "Yes Michelle."

It seemed Michelle's time to sigh in relief a she reopened her eyes. "I can see you fine."

"I've had better days."

"Well then, lets make this a rest day, how about that?"

"Yes Michelle." Renamon said and faded away in the shadows.

The whited haired girl then moved over in her bed so she was sitting up and she wrapped the covers around herself. Then there was a knock on her door. "Who is it." She muttered.

"It's Taichi, can I come in?" Came his voice.

Michelle sighed, shaking off a headache. "Come in."

Taichi entered as both of their eyes met. He noticed that Michelle seemed to be in the same condition he was. He then moved over and kneeled down, as a strange knowing passed through both of them.

"Guess it happened to you too." Michelle said with a weak smile.

Taichi nodded for a second. "Maybe it is time to let you know a little secret. It is the reason, that I keep disappearing or showing up late to things." He said and took a deep breath. "It is a long story though."

Michelle nodded, as she seemed to push away her weariness. "It's not like I have anywhere else to go today." She muttered.

Taichi gave a small smile. "It began quite a few years ago....."

Well that's it for this installment of Unknown, bit of a cliff hanger there, but expect to see alot of those from now on. Please Read and Review.
