Chapter 9

~Koji's POV~

Gasping, I shot up from my resting place. It was all a dream, yet the horror of it could not be erased from my mind. Cherubimon, Zoe, Ranamon, they were all so real.

The sunlight blared through the window, blinding my eyes. It was morning. "Might as well get up," I muttered sleepily. Then I got up and walked to the bathroom (believe me they do have bathrooms in the Digital World. But it's very different from ours though.), careful not to stepped over the others who were still sleeping.

5 minutes later.....

That was refreshing. I am fully awake now. Koichi and them are still sleeping. Guess they were tired. Slowly I walked lightly towards the door, trying to keep quiet.

Suddenly the door busted open. It caused such a big commotion; it woke up everybody in the room.

"Can't a sleeping person be left in peace?" Takuya complained, yawning.

"What so important that you can't wait until we woke up?" JP added half awake.

The Nursemon at the door, looked terrified and close to tear. I bent down to her asked.

"What is it?"

She grabbed my shirt and shook me as she speaks.

"She's gone! She's gone!" Nursemon sobbed lightly.

"Wait, wait calm down and tell me, who's gone?" I questioned, when really my heart tells me that the girl she's talking about is Zoe.

"Your friend! I went up to her room to check on her this morning, and. and she wasn't there! I checked the whole building, but I can't find her anywhere!!!!!!"

Now that really fully woke them up.

"What?!"

"Zoe's disappeared?"

I stood up.

"I'm going there to check." I said, ready to walk out of the door.

"Wait! For us!" Bokomon stopped me.

I signed. "Hurry up," I replied impatiently.

Where could she be??? Where else could she go????? My mind was bubbled with unanswered questions.

~ Ranamon's POV~

"My servant, you have a new task," Cherubimon said.

"At your command, master." She replied.

"Bring me the two boys possessing the spirits of Light and Darkness. I believe it will be very easy for you. As for the others, you may do whatever you like with them." He says.

Disgusting. Cherubimon seemed to be forgetting that I was the one who successfully took her here. Yet he seemed to be overjoyed by his new servant. Sure go ahead, abandon the old one. Why is she the only one who can capture the Light and Darkness? I can too, except that Cherubimon that stupid dweeb never notice my hidden talent.

I was in my own private thoughts when his voice budged in.

"Ranamon,"

"Ah, yes Cherubimon," I bowed down, careful not to show any of my thoughts.

"Go with her to find the Legendary Warriors. Then destroy them."

"Yes." Both of us said together.

This is so not fair. She no stronger than me by anything. But yet everyone treats her like precious data and me clob of dirt. Obviously I am so much more beautiful than her, not to mention powerful.

"Are you sure this is the right way?" she asked from behind me.

How rude! She's questioning my abilities????

"Keep quiet! I know what I'm doing." I answered coldly.

"Last time I checked I was suppose to be the leader, you were only a guide for me," she retorted nastily. "So if you don't mind, keep lower. You're nothing but a little slave."

"Why you.!" I wanted so much to grab on that neck of hers, but when I thought about how angry Cherubimon will be at me, I decided to do something else. That ungrateful little brat! I'm here, guiding her through her task out of my kindness, and she comes and neglects me.

I let her pass me to the front. She can go anywhere she wants, not like I care about it. If it weren't for Cherubimon's orders, I would have threw her into a swamp and let her drown!

"Hurry up snail!" her ugly voice screeched.

"I'm certainly not a snail! Unlike you I'm born with natural beauty." I smirk proudly.

"Whatever," she muttered and continued.

That girl.I will teach her! When Cherubimon's orders are over, let's see who's better than whom!!!!
