Is That You? By: OtakuSailorV
Chapter 2: Finding You
Genki woke the same as he had every morning for the past few months. But this time, instead of staring sadly at the ceiling he jumped from the bed and pulled on his clothes. He could only hope that the clothes he had worn in the Monster's world would be enough for the others to recognize him. . .if it was really them in that forest. He shook the thought from his head. It WAS them! He just knew it was! The small light of hope grew larger and threatened to break open his chest for it to escape and grow larger, but he held it inside, comforting himself with it.
He left a note on the counter for his grandfather so he wouldn't worry. Then, grabbing up the pack with all his Monster Rancher things in it, he headed out, after, of course, pulling on the classic roller blades. 'I'm coming!'
....................................
He was hungry by the time he reached the forest. 'Oh. . .I forgot to bring something to eat. . .' He thought mournfully to himself. He shrugged it off and entered the forest without a second thought.
Noises were all around him, the crack of a stick, the chirp of some bug, his own breathing even. Small noises magnified in his ears, making them seem like the coming of some creature, or the hiss of an enemy. But in reality, it was only fear and the lighting playing a trick on him. But he delved in, the flicker of hope guiding him to the heart of the forest.
It smelled like any forest should. Of moss, dew, fresh air, sunlight, fresh flowers, and about a million other scents you wouldn't normally smell in the city. Unless someone claimed to have packaged it for your car mirror. A flicker of light confused Genki's eyes as he went. There was no sound from whatever had moved, just the flash of its hide as it had fled from him.
He was still searching desperately hours later, close to giving up too. 'They're close. I can sense it. . .' He told himself, but it wasn't enough to light the small light in his heart again. A green glow showed to his right in the forest. The glow had a familiar hue to it and as he turned he recognized it as. . .the light from Holly's necklace?! His mind went into a jumpstart, like he had just woken from along dream. Holly's necklace of course! He ran toward the light, forgetting the agonizing hunger, the exhaustion, and the need to rest all in a moment, just so he could get closer to that light!
The light faded as he came upon an open glade, the sun just starting to peek over the horizon. It was a beautiful emerald glade with a small house in the center of it built from wood. Smoke trailed from the house's chimney and light shone in the glass windows. His eyes gleamed as he approached, his legs shaking from hunger and hope. 'I made it. . .' He thought to himself.
Just then, then door opened and a girl wearing a bandana over her hair was seen walking out. Genki paid little attention to anything besides that she was female. His vision grew blurry, but he could tell the girl had spotted him. She was amazed, of course, to have a stranger in her glen, but Genki was unaware of how surprised. "Hey. . ." He started, raising a hand to greet her. He took another step before his legs gave out and he fell to the ground. ". . .Holly. . ."

Whoops! I didn't mean to make it short again! Sorry. ^_^ Thanks to all my reviewers a ton! ^_^ I'm trying not to use the '&' sign as much but it's a hard switch for me. Using '&' instead of 'and' was something I'm just used to. (I use it in regular writing too) So anyway, I'll post another chapter soon, I promise, but I have other things I need to work on first. Other fanfics, original stories, going places with mom, stuff like that. Also, thanks for the correct spelling of 'Mocchi'! I'm bad with names for this anime since I haven't seen it in like forever. Yes, I remembered their names, but not how to spell them all correctly. Ok, actually, I only had trouble spelling 'Mocchi' & 'Genki'. Better now though. Bye & remember to review!
