Never fear! I'm not dead! I'm so sorry for not updating in such a long time! Sorry, sorry, sorry! It's school and all that comes with it. Oh, and I think the characters are going to start becoming OOC or so starting from this chappie since:

1) Beyblades hasn't been aired since Yu-Gi-Oh came on.

2) I haven't read the Artemis Fowl books anytime lately because of school.

3) Harry Potter has the same reason as Artemis Fowl.

So, yeah. They'll probably become OOC...

Thank you Cyoot Kitty for reviewing Chapter V!!!

Disclaimer: Leo's Fire doesn't own anything except for her OCs, this story and plot. J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter & co. Eoin Colfer owns Artemis Fowl & co. Some rich guys in Japan own Beyblade and Digimon.

Cabin

The door creaked closed as a bug-like digimon entered the cabin. He noticed there was a fire going in his fireplace.

"Oh-no. Someone's decided to make themselves at home here again. I really should've made this place look occupied. And I really hope it isn't Gabumon again just because he hasn't built a fireplace in his cave yet," the red digimon grumbled to himself.

He opened one of the doors to his left, Ray and Mariah's room, glimpsing Ray's black hair but taking no notice of the pink hair in the bed above.

"Oh, no! Lizzimon's sent her three followers here! What will I do? What will I do?" he panicked. "I know! I'll attack them! That'll drive them out of here!"

With that, the red bug-like digimon flapped his wings and entered the room as silently as he could.

"Electric sh-" he started shouting but a white and blue striped paw with yellow claws grabbed him and pulled him back through the doorway.

Ray and Mariah had woken from the bright bolt of electricity from the red Digimon. They rubbed their eyes and walked to the doorway with their digimon partners following closely behind. All four were still sleepy but came to see what had happened.

"Tentomon! What are you doing? Attacking the digidestined! I thought you knew better!" the digimon, that had stopped the red insect from attacking, scolded.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and the three digimon partners had just woken from Tentomon's shouting and the other, Gabumon, scolding. They stood in the seperate doorways of their temporary bedrooms.

"What? Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were the new digidestined. Please excuse me. It's just that, well, I just thought her hair looked like that girl on Lizzimon's side. I thought she sent them to my house," the bug, apparently named Tentomon, faced the five and stuttered.

"Firstly, Rei's a he," Mariah corrected "And secondly... who's Lizzimon?"

"Lizzimon? I'm surprised you don't know about her!" Tentomon replied.

"So... Who is this 'Lizzimon'?" Hermione inquired.

Ron faintly heard the white and blue striped digimon mutter something inaudible.

"Lizzimon is a large lizard digimon, a rookie level digimon. She's the one you have to battle," the other digimon spoke up.

"And you are...?" Harry asked.

"Gabumon," he introduced and smiled. "Nice to meet you."

"And she's got three teenagers on her side; one chinese, one cat-like and one blind. The only other thing I know about the 'dark' side is that all brave and courageous digimon who have travelled far to face her have never returned. Either they were destroyed or joined the evil forces. Anything you have to add to that, Gabumon?" Tentomon finished.

Gabumon shook his head, signalling he had nothing to add to it either.

Mariah yawned, "Well, if that's it, I'm going back to bed. See you in the morning... If that's ok with you Tentomon. I mean, after all, this is you house."

"Of course. I'd be honoured in having the new digidestined stay for the night," was her reply.

There was a murmur of thanks among the sleepy group and they returned to their temporary rooms.

Forest of Friendship
The cold wind bit at Artemis as he lay on the ground, unable to sleep. He already missed his comfortable mattress, his warm covers, his safe room. Out here, the ground was uncomfortable, the atmosphere cold and he felt vulnerable.

Artemis understood how Holly and Foaly were able to sleep like this. Holly, being a LEP officer, was probably used to sleeping on the ground during missions and Foaly was half horse. Their digimon partners probably slept outside all the time. He, though, was a pampered human who was used to having many things done for him.

Oh, how he missed Butler right about now. Artemis sighed and thought, 'I guess I'll have to get used to this. It doesn't seem as if I'll be able to get back to the Fowl Manor anytime soon.'

He turned and shut his eyes, hoping that the realm of sleep would take him soon.

River of Reliability

Cindramon came to a stop at a river, seperating them from the forest, where the smoke was steadily rising from the two different areas.

'Okay. Well, I'm stuck on what to do now. This river's too wide to jump over, the current's too strong and fast to swim across with Danielle on my back,' Cindramon pondered. 'I guess I'll just have to go upstream of the River of Reliability to the Lake of Love and around that before I can get to any other digidestined. And who knows how long that'll take?!'

Without any other ideas on how to get across to the forest, Cindramon bounded upsteam. He was tiring, though, as he'd been hopping the entire time since he fought against Leopmon.

'Just a little bit further. Just a little bit further and then we'll rest,' Cindramon thought to himself. The black and yellow kangaroo bounded further and further upstream. He tripped and stumbled, finally waking up Danielle.

"Huh? Where are we?" mumbled the brunette sleepily.

"Digital World, remember?" Cindramon replied.

"Oh. Well, how much longer till we find another digidestined?" whined Danielle.

"It doesn't look like we'll make it tonight so let's set up camp just up ahead."

"Camp? You mean sleeping outside in the cold?"

"Well, we'll have fire and eachother. It won't be that cold."

"If there's no other way, fine. But you better protect me from wild, rabid Digimon!" sighed the Italian.

"Deal. Now would you mind stopping your whining and get a bit of firewood. I'll catch some fish to eat."

"Fine. If that's the only way I'll survive," sighed Danielle again.

The kindling and firewood was gathered by Danielle. The fire was started with the help of Cindramon's electric attacks. Fish were roasting over the large fire for the human as the kangaroo digimon ate his raw. Dinner was eaten through silence with the exception of a random cricket here and there. Their stomachs filled with fish from the river next to them and they started to drift off to sleep, with Danielle resting her head on Cindramon's full stomach.

"Still, don't think I'm going to thank you for this. I could've done this by myself," Danielle murmured drowsily.

Cindramon chuckled and replied, "I was expecting you to." 'Still, how can she sleep after resting on my back that entire way,' Cindramon added as an afterthought before sleep overcame his senses too.
Okay, that's all for now! Watch out for the next update, which I promise to try very hard to write and update ASAP. Bye!
