Her Angel
Chapter 4: Bangs and Such
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Daisuke Motomiya!!! Would you please stop banging on the walls!!! We are already frustrated as it is!" Miyako yelled and scowled darkly at the brown haired boy as he furiously pounded the walls to express his frustration and anger.
However, only another "Bang!" resounded to answer her.
"Honestly! That… IDIOT!!!" Miyako drew in a deep breath in an effort to steady and calm herself… unsuccessfully.
Iori watched solemnly as Miyako continued to rage at Daisuke as the latter continued to bang on the walls. Finally, he decided to speak up for fear of Takeru's apartment collapsing under the combined mighty forces of Miyako Inoue and Daisuke Motomiya.
"Um… guys? Don't you think we should help Ken find the others?"
Both immediately quieted down, looking ashamedly at their feet. To cover up his embarrassment, Daisuke went into his 'leader' mode.
"Okay, Ken. How's it going?"
Ken turned away from Takeru's computer, a frown etched on his face.
"Well, as you all already know, we are not able to enter the Digimon World, where they are most probably are, with our D-3s. I've tried using other methods to get to the Digimon World but none have worked. Moreover, Koushiro's laptop has seemingly gone with him as usual and all the vital information that I need are all in there. Without them, I won't be able to do much."
Daisuke frowned as well. "That means we can't do anything!" he snapped furiously.
Miyako blew a strand of hair from her face, her brow furrowed. "Look, maybe instead of finding them or something, let's try to analyze the problem here. Eight of them are gone, the eight chosen children who first entered the Digimon World, taken away to some place, most probably of course the Digimon World. Coincidentally or not, Koushiro shows us that their old enemy has returned too, in the Digimon World. So what does it all means?"
Meanwhile, as the quartet continued to discuss seriously and worriedly, in a totally different world than ours…
All of you are so heavy!" Joe managed to complain, despite the fact that he was almost flattened by other bodies.
The chosen children had found themselves thrown in a heap after being transported from Takeru's living room.
Taichi had found himself beneath Sora, her reddish-brown eyes wide with worry as they locked on his own. She was clutching him tightly, fearing that she might fall down any second. Both were breathlessly gazing at each other, none breaking the contact and the worry in Sora's eyes slowly ebbed away. Taichi fervently wished that time would stop and let them remain like that forever. Unfortunately, time had other ideas…
"Taichi! My laptop is in danger of being damaged because of you! Get off me!"
The magic moment was interrupted and both blushed as they got off. Taichi let out a sigh.
'Stupid Koushiro and his laptop…'
As everyone managed to untangle themselves from the mess and settled down, and as Koushiro carefully examined his laptop, Taichi spoke.
"Well, it seems like we're back here again."
And so they were, back in the familiar forests of odd colours completely opposite to the forests in their own world.
"Daisuke, Iori, Miyako and Ken aren't here though." Sora noted, counting only eight of them.
"So it's us eight again," Mimi mused, "What's going to happen now?"
The most logical answer would be that the Dark Masters are back here creating trouble as usual and we are back here to stop them again." Yamato said quietly.
"But if that is so, why only us? Why is it always us?" Joe rubbed his face in frustration. "I thought we wouldn't have to go through this ever again. Twice is enough."
A silence fell on the group where nobody looked at anyone else. Finally, Taichi said forcibly "Look, we are all here and we might as well make use of the time to look at the Digimon World again before we are sent away again. At the same time, get rid of evil. We've always done it before. C'mon, let's go find Agumon and the others, guys."
All of them stood up and started to walk through the forest, following Taichi's lead. Sora looked curiously sideways at her best friend. Years ago, she wouldn't have thought Taichi could be this mature.
'Where had that boy with the mischievous glint always in his eye gone to? The boy who had pulled Gabumon's coat and teased him? He seemed to grow up into someone I hardly know sometimes. He always seemed so cheerful, but he hasn't been cheerful since that Christmas…'
Sora's train of thought faltered and a guilty feeling gnawed at the pit of her stomach.
'Why had he seemed so sad?'
Her hands were visibly trembling as she held the brightly wrapped present tightly in her arms.
"Oh Sora, go ahead. This is what Sora wants to do right?" her partner digimon asked, confused as to why she was not going in.
"But I-" A call of her name cut her explanation to Biyomon of why she did not dare go in.
"Sora! What's up?" Taichi and Agumon approached her and Biyomon.
"Taichi!" she said, surprised. A slight blush tinted her face as she glanced down at the present she was holding and tried to hide it.
The door opened. "Wow! I smell something delicious." Gabumon said as he sniffed the air.
Agumon agreed whole-heartedly. "Yeah! What's that?"
"Is it for Yamato?"
"Maybe." She murmured.
"Did you make it yourself?" By then, an odd closed expression had appeared on Taichi's face.
"It's none of your business, Taichi!"
Gabumon intervened and said "Come in, guys."
"Biyomon wants to go in but Sora is too embarrassed to even knock." The talkative digimon replied.
Sora blushed harder. "Biyomon, be quiet!" she chided her partner.
Taichi smiled sadly at her. "I better hurry if I were you before the show starts."
"Oh." Sora looked away at the floor.
Taichi put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her towards the door. "C'mon, give it to him already."
Sora turned back worriedly though she couldn't help notice how sad her normally cheerful friend was. "But I-"
Agumon then waved his arms about as he said "If you don't give it to him now, we'll eat it up!"
Sora looked at them and then blushed and smiled as she said "All right. I won't be long. Promise." And she turned to go in.
"I'll wait for you… Sora."
Now as she walked along with him, she suddenly had an insight that his words might have meant a lot more…
