Chapter eight-A Not so Happy Reunion

Lillymon flew up high, her body feeling much better since taken some of the food Sora had left them. She held Mimi's hand tightly, but for once the girl did not seem to be complaining. Infact, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

"It's so nice and cool up here, after all that sand and sun it's so nice." Lillymon smiled down to her partner, when she was in a good mood, it was impossible to be around her and not smile, she had decided that awhile ago when she was Palmon. "Hey look! A church! Aren't the windows pretty in the sunshine?" Mimi commented innocently.

"Guys! There's a church just up ahead." Lillymon shouted back down to the others. "Think we should check it out?" Tai strained his eyes from his perch on Metal-Greymon's shoulder, wishing he had bought his little telescope like last time. He turned back to the others.

"What do you guys think?" he asked. Joe thought for a moment, he was slightly higher up, riding on Ikkakumon, than tai was.

"A church seems a logical place to go. Safe and out of harms way." Alana nodded.

"I agree, a church would give them shelter and it's the first place that sticks out we've seen." Tai nodded, turning back to Lillymon who hovered above.

"You guys check it out and we'll catch you up." Lillymon nodded her agreement, and flew off, carrying Mimi with her. Tai watched them fly out of site and returned to his own thoughts, these mainly centered around Izzy. Since their first time in Digi-world, the two boys had become fast friends. Matt had been by his side, normally shouting in his ear, but Izzy had supported and helped him through many problems, never seeking praise or wanted anything other than to know he had helped out in some small way. Tai knew they would all have been dead a hundred times with other the red-headed genius. He sighed, not noticing Alana , still carrying Bikhumon, now walking beside him.

"How are you doing?" She asked, a slight smile on her face. "And you tell me you're fine and I'll know you're lying." Tai looked at her for a moment, then laughed.

"Well, I'm not as bad as I could be." He told her honestly. "I'm just worried about Izzy." He sighed. "We aren't supposed to think about what might happen if, if he doesn't make it. Me especially. I'm the leader, I'm supposed to positive but..." he trialed off and shrugged, not knowing how to end the sentence. Alana offered him another smile.

"I know how you feel." She said. "It would be so much easier to be given all the answers, wouldn't it?." Tai nodded, still looking down at the ground. "You're not on your own though, and no one expects you not to be worried, you can talk to us." He nodded slowly, turning to her again.

"yeah thanks." He said but there was little time for anything else as the reached the church to see Mimi waving madly outside. "What is it Mimi?"

"Lucy's out again, she's not been doing too well apparently." Alana palled as she heard Mimi talk about her friend, she jumped down from Iredecemon and ran inside to see Matt and Sora sitting either side of her friend. Both of them looked up when they heard her come in.

"Is she okay?" Alana asked as Tai, Joe and the now rookie digimon ran in and joined them. Matt nodded.

"She's talking with Izzy, she said she was fine so don't worry, we just have to wait for her to come back to us." Alana nodded numbly and joined the other two by her friends' side.

Lucy blinked as she opened her eyes, letting them adjust to the light slowly. She could hear concerned voices to her right, a lot more than there had been when she went into Izzy's mind again. She lifted her head and looked around,

"Hey guys, I'm back." she said cheerfully. A mass of strawberry blonde curls bounded its way towards her, giving the girl‡ a huge hug,

"Hey Lucy!" a voice called happily, "Glad you're awake hen." Lucy grinned as she recognized the voice of her friend, a slight chuckle followed with Alana releasing her death grip on the older girl,

"Okay 'Lana, let Lucy go so she can breath." Matt laughed, shaking his head at the younger girls antics. Lucy laughed as well, until she remembered why she was awake at all,

"Guys," she called, getting everyone's attention as they turned to find out what the English Digi-destined child wanted, "I just finished speaking to Koushiro, he said something about the prophecy..." at this she had everyone's undivided attention, even little TK who was usually quite chatty when he was with all his friends paid attention. Alana blinked as she realized what Lucy was trying to say,

"You don't mean Izzy's figured it all out already?" she asked incredulously, Lucy could only nod.

"I thought Lucy was the one who could read minds, not Alana or am I getting confused?" she asked clueless. The older kids could only roll their eyes at this,

"No Mimi, you're right," TK piped up, "I think 'Lana and Lucy have known each other that long that they can tell what the others thinking." he stated innocently. Alana could only smile, I wish Paul was like that, we'd get on loads better she thought, remembering the last conversation, nay, argument the siblings had had before this whole thing has started. She felt slightly guilty for storming off like she had, but her temper was relatively short when her younger brother started annoying her. She was shaken out of her thoughts by Lucy,

"Well Koushiro said that the first part of the prophecy was talking about your crests, that they had the power to contain evil..." she was interrupted by Agumon,

"Makes sense, it contained Apocalomon's 'Total Annihilation' attack when we were fighting him." Lucy nodded before continuing,

"Well it does make sense. Then he said that the part concerning Alana and myself was to do with our abilities that Alana's power‡ helped her to focus and understand people better by feeling what they feel..." she looked to Alana for confirmation. Alana nodded, her face serious as she tried not to let the other kids emotions get in the way of hearing what Lucy had to say.

"He said he couldn't work out what the last part meant though, he said he'd try his best..." she trailed off, knowing the other kids would understand what she meant. Matt looked worried as he thought about the trouble Izzy must be having if he hadn't worked the whole prophecy out by now. The others wore similar expressions, except for Alana, who seemed to be concentrating on something,

"What's wrong 'Lana?" Kari asked, catching the attention of Tai, Matt, Lucy and their Digimon partners as she had been very quiet since the group had first split up. Alana shook her head as she tried to make sense of the muddle of emotions coming from Izzy, mass confusion was the most noticeable, but then a sense of hopelessness and despair overtook it,

"LUCY!" she yelled, "get Izzy out of there, like, RIGHT NOW!" Lucy stared at Alana for a moment, then rolled her eyes.

"Right Okay but you guys need to get ready something for me to eat after this, it's hard work you know." They all started at her, not knowing what to say, until the girl gave them a wink and a big grin. "see you on the flip side." She muttered, closing her eyes once again

Lucy winced as she opened her eyes to familiar darkness that was Izzy mind. It was different this time, darker even though she had not thought it possible. She narrowed her eyes, the notice was deafening.

"Koushiro? What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?" She asked the darkness, he voice not as loud as she had been hoping it would be. "Come on Kou, where are you?" It was no good, it was too dark for her to see her own hand in front of her face and too loud for her to hear anything at all. She felt the panic rise within her, she took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself and remember how to breath again. "Koushiro! Answer me damn it!" She yelled, her panic getting the better of her as she began to run through the darkness. "This is like a nightmare." She muttered to herself, again, feeling comforted by her own voice as she ran. "Only this time I'm awake and scared to death..." She stopped dead, in the back of her mind she could hear something, it was a very quiet something, but it was there. She frowned. Kou? She asked, speaking it with her mind this time.

"I'm here Lucy." She heard back, instantly causing her heart rate to sky rocket again.

Where's here, exactly? She asked, walking again now and looking all round her, trying to pinpoint his thoughts as she went.

"I'm not sure, exactly." Lucy nodded.

It's okay, I'll find you. Just hang on in there, okay?

"I'll certainly try." Lucy nodded again, walking forward, concentrating hard. I really hope you can Koushiro, she thought.
