Disclaimer: Like I said before, I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON! But I do own this story and the made up Charas in this story.

Chapter 3: Strangers.

The rest of the digidestineds were shock at what they have saw.

"What the.where did they go?" Davis asked running around the room like an idiot.

" How should we know." Yolei replied with a worried look on her face, " Maybe you two know, you're being quiet." Yolei added facing Gatomon and Patamon.

" No, we don't" Patamon replied

" But it does seem familiar," Gatomon added, " Just like the time that Kari vanished.towards the dark ocean!"

"That can't happen now." Ken said reassuringly, " the dark ocean is only accessible if there's a glint of darkness in the person's heart, despair or any negative feelings. But T.K and Kari doesn't have those feelings, ne?"

Everyone nodded,

" So what should we do?" Cody asked

" Let's call Tai and the older digidestineds" Davis suggested, " They have to know."

" He's right." Patamon agreed, " You guys stay here, Gatomon and I will try and find them at the Digiworld."

" Are you sure, you'll both be alright?" Hawkmon wondered, " It's pretty dangerous since you can't digivolve without your partners."

" It's better than staying here and doing nothing Hawkmon, right Patamon?" Gatomon replied. Patamon just nodded and faced Davis and the others, " So who's kind enough to open the digi-gate?"

Unknown to the others that it wasn't the digiworld that Kari and T.K got themselves at.

" Ahhhh" T.K groaned.,

"T.K.!" Kari shouted.

It was just in time that T.K saw Kari falling that he was able to catch her before loosing balance himself, causing him to fall an Kari fall on top of him.

"Ouch, that hurts." Kari said not noticing where she has landed until she heard T.K. cough and say, " Man, I didn't thought you were this heavy, Kari."

Kari blushed at that comment before climbing off T.K and waking him gently at the head.

" Baka! (idiot)" Kari shouted at her companion.

T.K just laughed knowing that that was most likely what his best friends action would be after being teased. Kari then joined with him after seeing him tossing and turning while laughing at the ground.

When they had finally calmed down, it was the first time they noticed that they were not where they were suppose to be.

" Where are we?" T.K wondered at loud.

" I don't know but I have the feeling that we'll find out soon enough." Kari replied.

Just then they heard a ruffle at the bushes and when they face to see who or what has caused the sound they were surprised to see a sword pointed at them by a young man probably the same age as T.K.

" Who are you strangers?" the young man asked calmly but with force that can make other people tremble.

T.K. then beckoned Kari to move behind him before answering, " I'm Takeru Takeishi and this is my friend Hikari Yagami."

When the young man heard their names his cold eyes changed to and he shealthed his sword.

"So, YOU are Takeru." the young man said, still not leaving his eyes from T.K., " Then the prophecy must be coming true."

" Excuse me, but who are you and where are we?" Kari managed to build up her courage and ask. " And what do you mean by the prophecy? Have we met?" T.k added.

The young man continued to look at them, then began to walk towards where the bush that moved was, " It's not safe to talk about that here. Come follow me if you wish to know."

Without any choice, the two digidestineds follow the strange young man that they have met down into a secret cave hidden behind the bushes.

Meanwhile at the real world.

" What?!" Tai exclaimed, " What do you mean they vanished?!"

"Calm down Tai!" Tai's girlfriend and one of the digidestineds, Sora said trying to make her boyfriend sit down. " it won't help if you act like that."

" Sora's right, I'm sure she's alright since T.K is with her." Tai's best friend and T.K's older brother, Matt said while helping himself with some of the food that Ken has prepared.

"Why don't you guys explain it more clearly, surely there must've been something that happened before that." Izzy said amidst the panic looks of his friends' faces.

"Alright," Ken said calmly, " I'll tell you as much as I know provided that the others will fill in some things that I might forget."

The others nodded and the whole room fell silent. Ken retold the older digidestineds what happened the previous day from the time that T.K has been avoiding questions up to the time that he was about to punch Davis but fainted, to the time that they saw the food prepared up to the time that T.K said his head hearts and then vanished with Hikari who was trying to see if T.k. has a fever.

" And that's what happened." Ken concluded.

" I see." Izzy replied, " I wonder if Jeni can help us."

" Then what are you waiting for Izzy.do your stuff!" Joe called from the kitchen.

So the digidestineds contacted Jeni, meanwhile back at Kari and T.K.

"So what about those questions we asked you earlier?" T.K asked once they were safely inside the passage that leads to a cave.

" Yes.of course, I am Kenya Mohoroba. One of the four crest protectors of the Digiworld."

" Alright Kenya, so where are we Kenya?" Kari asked politely.

"We are at the very depths of the Digiworld where only a chosen few may enter and leave without permission." Kenya said pausing as waiting for Kari and T.K to take in the information that he has given them.

" Then if only a chosen few can enter." Kari asked, " Why are we here?"

" That's right and what do you mean by 'crest protectors'?" T.K added.

" Your question miss Kari leads to the prophecy that I will tell you in a moment," Kenya said looking at Kari then looking back at T.K.," As for the crest protectors, as I've said before, there are four of us. One protecting the east where the Digimon god, Azulongmon is another protecting the south where the Digimon god, Pheonixmon is, another protecting the west where the Digimon god, Bladeramon is and the last protecting the north where the Digimon god, Toquislamon resides." Then Kea paused again before continuing, " As you two may have already known, Azulongmon possesses the orbs of light and hope, as well as those that possesses it's crest."

" Meaning us?" T.K asked

Kenya nodded, " Yes, as Azulongmon possesses the orbs of light, Pheonixmon possesses the orbs of love and courage, Bladermon possesses the orbs of friendship and sincerity, and the last, Toquislamon who possesses the orbs of Reliability and Knowledge. Apart form them, they had chosen four humans such as myself as the one who protects those that holds their symbol. They called them the crest protectors, and I am one of them."

" If you said that you and the other four protect us, then how come we haven't met you until now?" Kari wondered out loud.

" It is for the prophecy." Kenya said as he stands up and moves towards what look like a kitchen,

" I will tell you all about it as we eat, now make yourselves comfortable and rest for a while."

Back at the real world, the others have finally contacted Jeni.

" It's been a long time chosen ones." Jeni said his voice wavering from the static of the digital world, " How may I be of service to you?"

" hello Jeni, you see." Izzy began, " Kari and T.K vanished out of thin air." Izzy paused wondering what Jeni's reaction would be, however Jeni's expression in the monitor didn't even change a bit, " And we were wondering if you might know where they are.can you tell us if they're there?" Izzy finished.

But Jeni didn't speak at once. This made Tai irritated, " C'mon Jeni, my sister and T.K could be in trouble! Speak up!"

Jeni nodded and faced them, " Yes they are here."

" Great!" Everyone exclaimed with happiness and relief.

" But." Jeni continued, everyone stopped dancing for joy feeling that the word 'but' holds dread, " But, I cannot tell you where they are. They have to finish and survive this on their own. That is what the prophecy says."

" Prophecy?" Ken finally asked, " What do you mean by prophecy?"

Meanwhile somewhere at the Digiworld, in a place that the others have not been yet, someone was plotting.

" Master, the child of hope and the child of light has arrived at our world." One week little voice said.

" Good." A much more majestic voice replied, " So, now is the time, for those that hold light in their hearts to fight us.."

"Yes master, but they are not alone, he is with them." The small voice added.

" I see.ha-ha-ha, this is much more interesting prepare me my dragon, we shall go and meet them." The majestic voice replied.

"Wow, this food tastes great!" T.K exclaimed as he taste the food that Kenya prepared.

" It kinda reminds me of the first time I got here." Kari nodded in agreement before turning to face

Kenya who was eating his own portion of the meal, " So are you going to tell us now?"

Kenya sipped his soup and nodded, " I really have no idea what is fully written on the prophecy. Azulongmon only let me read the part concerning both of you and it goes like this:
One of Light; One of Darkness
Both the same yet different; Both different yet the same.
When the tides of fate collides, the memory of the planet shall appear.
The peak of the mountain shall meet wind the raging strong wind;
The light that binds the other and the darkness the reigns in one's heart.
Shall bring the world of chaos back to balance. Balance it will attain.
Let the truth of Light flicker in thy hearts;
Light is Light; Darkness is Darkness.

That's all I know." Kenya finished.

" Then what does it mean?" T.K asked.

" I'm sorry all I know is that now is the time for the prophecy to be fulfilled." Kenya answered.

" How did you know that now IS the time?" Kari asked.

" Azulongmon has summoned you here and only those who have been summoned can find this place." Kenya answered. Then he began to move towards the entrance of the cave. " It is getting late, both of you must rest. We have a long day tomorrow."

Kari and T.K both stood up and nodded. " You will find mats in that box over there, sleep well." And with that Kenya moved swiftly outside.

Out here in the quiet of the night;

Beneath the stars and moon.

We both know we have something on our minds;

We won't admit, but it's true.

" If we hadn't had those adventures before, I'd say this is pretty strange." T.K chuckled.

" Yeah." Kari nodded in agreement, " I wonder what the others are doing?"

You look at me;

I look away.

T.K looked at Kari. He could only make out her face, for there was little light in the cave.

" I'm sure they've already called the others." T.K. replied, " It's no use worrying about them, Kari. I'm sure they're very safe than we are."

Kari laughed at that comment, " what have I been thinking." She thought, " We're the one's who was sucked into this place." Then she began to lie back down. T.K also did the same.

" yawn Well good night Kari. See you in the morning." T.K said before finally felling asleep.

"Good night, T.K. sweet dreams." Then after making sure that T.K was already asleep, Kari sat up.

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start.

I wanna tell you but now I'm afraid that you might brake my heart.

Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do?

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling and to say that.

I love you.

" I know I should be scared and worried that we got transported in such a weird place.but" Kari thought, " I kinda feel happy about it this is the second time that only T.K and I are alone in the Digiworld." Then Kari paused as she remembered the horrible experience that she had at the Dark Ocean.

I practice all the things that I could say;

Line by line, every word.

I tell myself today could be the day;

But every time, I lose my nerve.

Then Kari looked at T.K, with longing. " I wonder what you think about me, T.K." she began to
think again.

I look at you, You look away.

" Am I really just your best friend?" Kari continued, " Some how, I kinda wish that sometimes
you'd act like Davis.in a good sort of way."

Why, why do you turn away?

It must be, you're afraid like me.

I try, but I can't pretend that I Don't feel for you the way I do.

Can't you see?

" And I wish I was more like Sora." Kari's thought began to make her think of her brother's girlfriend, " She has guts to say that to my brother."

Flashback

"Tai wait just a second.there's something that I want to say to you." Sora called out as she ran after Tai.

Tai stopped and look back, " Oh, Hi Sora.what's up?"

" Can we go at the park, there's something that I really need to tell you." Sora answered.

" The park? Why there?" Tai asked, " You can just say it here Sora."

But Sora didn't listen to Tai, she has finally caught the courage she need to tell him how she feel. Instead, Sora grabbed Tai's hand and began to drag him towards the park.

" I don't care what he feels about me any more," Sora thought, " I can't hold it in much longer, I have to tell him now."

Finally after what it seems like hours of running, Sora and Tai finally arrived at the park.

Panting Tai asked, " So.what.did.you want to.tell me?"

"Tai.I.I." Sora stammered, " C'mon girl get a gripp!" She thought.

" Tai there''s something that I was meaning to tell you for a long time." Sora started.

" What a coincidence!" Tai Shouted, " I have something to tell you too.but I don't know how to say it.anyway, what is it?"

" Tai.I." Then Sora moved closer to Tai's ears and whispered the three words that Tai has been waiting for since he has felt something for Sora. When he heard it though, he was shocked and when Sora finally move away from him with her head down all he could do was laugh.

" HA-HA-HA." Tai laughed.

Turning red with both embarrassment and wonder, Sora asked, " What's so funny, Tai?"

" I.Ha-ha-ha.I can't believe it!" Tai replied, then he looked at Sora.

" It's okay, if you don't want to be friends with me." Sora began." I just can't hold it in much longer."

Then Tai stopped laughing and move closer to Sora, closer and closer until finally their lips locked. After a while, Sora was now the one shocked,

" There." Tai began to say, "You're right, I don't want to be friends with you any more." Then he faced Sora and he saw a quizzical expression on her face, " I want you to be my girl friend."

End of flashback

Still not moving from her position, she whispered, " I love you." That only T.K can hear. Just then

T.K shot awake and yawning he asked, " Did you say something, Kari?"

" who? Me?" Kari stammered, " No I was just.ummm.singing to myself."

T.K was about to say something when they heard the clashing of swords from outside. So they rushed like the wind to where the fight was and saw Kenya wielding a blade that shimmered and another man, probably older by a year who was wielding a blade that has an eerie light surrounding it.

" Kenya! What's going on?" T.K shouted over the clashing sounds of the swords.

" Stay there! Don't come any closer!" Kenya shouted back, just then the man wielding the dark sword stopped and stared at T.K and Kari.

" So they are the ones huh?" The man said, " HA-HA-HA!"

Then the same man chanted something then suddenly the ground began to shake and out of nowhere a very large phyton digimon appeared. The man then backed away a little, " Let's see how you do against Slythmon!"

Just then the snake digimon began to head for T.K and Kari.

to be continued...

A/N: The names of the digimon gods that I put here are only made up, except for Azulongmon and Pheneoxmon. Also I do not know what the real spelling of Jeni's name is so I just used the most common. The song that I used is from Pokemon's soundtrack, it is entitle Misty's song. Thanks for the reviews, I promise that I'll try harder!

Ken: Why did you use a Pokemon song?

Yolei: Yeah? And why does it seem that we aren't going to play a big role in this fic?

Haru: Chill out you guys, this first three chapters are just introductions, the real story begins in Chapter 4: Rescue.

Davis: Hey! What about my girl?

Kari: Oh put a sock in it Davis!

Haru: sweat drops Eh-he-he.I'm still thinking of a name for her. Don't worry she's coming very soon!
T.K.: If you're a Takari fan, then what are you waiting for. Kari: Press the review button, I dare ya!
