Chapter 10

But there was more to think about then Kailey. Koji's head was filled with other thoughts.

There are so many mystery's. Only a handful have been solved...He thought intensively.

But Takuya couldn't think of anything but Kailey.

Maybe, she really is dead. Maybe she really will be gone forever. Takuya's own mind was weakness to himself, his heart felt pained to think of Kailey gone forever.

The two of them walked in complete silence. Not aware of there surroundings, of heading into the forest where Kailey was killed and Koji ran so fast from.

Koji finally spoke up, "Takuya, where exactly are we going?"

Takuya took in a deep breath, he wanted to yell To find Kailey you dimwit! But repressed his anger knowing it would be no help getting upset with his friend.

"We need to find Bokomon and Neemon again."

"Do you think they were captured with you?"

"No. The Ghosts and Shadow's how now intention of hurting other Digimon. They just want us..."

"If only we could talk to the spirits, ask them why they did such a horrible deed..."

Takuya didn't say anything, they just kept walking, hoping to see some sort of sighn of Bokomon and Neemon.

Koji was growing impatient. They couldn't have gotten to far, he thought.

Takuya felt his foot brush up against something. He picked it up from being buried in the long crab grass.

"It's Bokomon's book." He muttered. He flipped through the pages, said some things about different Digimon, the Digi-deston, and one page stood out to him, Legendary warriors, and the battle of Lucemon.

He skimmed through the page.

"Long ago, Beast digimon, and Human digimon divided the world and war was nonstop. Then Lucemon appeared and set peace to the Digital world. But Lucemon's own power corrupted him, and his heart turned black and evil. Tormenting all Digimon across the world."

Takuya read aloud.

It went on to tell about how the ten Legendary warriors rose up to defeat Lucemon, but there was once sentence that trailed off.

"But there was a lost and forgotten spirit..."

Takuya flipped the page. It read,

" So now the Digital world is at peace, but mysteries still remain with the stars..."

"What?" Takuya said in a frustrated tone.

"There's a page missing...obviously."

"Ugh! Who could have taken the page!"
"Bokomon must have known the page was gone, that's why he never mentioned it."

"Then, it's been gone since before we even got our spirits."

"Or around the same time. What's the last thing the book says?"

Takuya read. But Mystery's still remain with the...stars!"

"Kailey!" The both exclaimed.

"She has the spirit of the stars!" Takuya yelled. "When she saved me, she had a star in the palm of her hand. And in my dream too!"

"Do you think she took the missing page?"

"Yes! How else could she have known so much about so much about the lost spirit?"

"Bokomon had never even met Kailey before though?"

Takuya rubbed his head in confusion. "We need to find-"

"Oww! What was that for!" A voice called from deeper in the forest.

"You can go around pulling your pants down in public you idiot!"

"I wasn't! I was trying make them pretty!"

Takuya and Koji looked at each other and ran towards the voices. As they ran, the forest got deeper, and darker. Two figures emerged from the darkness, to Koji and Takuya's relief, it was Bokomon snapping Neemon's waste band.

"Bokomon, buddy!" Takuya exclaimed.

"Takuya, thank goodness you both are alright!"

Neemon jumped for joy, "We've been looking for you both for hours!"

Koji looked at Bokomon, "You have some explaining to do..."

They told Bokomon and Neemon all the updates, how Takuya was captured, Kailey was killed and they found Bokomon's book.

"Waaaaht? A Digi-deston dead! It can't be..." Neemon said in disbelief.

Takuya was filled with rage from Neemon. "She's not gone! She's just fine! Were going to find her!"

Bokomon sighed to tell Takuya regretfully. "Takuya, when something had been scanned, with no physical form in your world...there data has been deleted..."

Takuya shook his head. "There must be something we can do! Something! A-anything..."

Bokomon shook his head, "She's is gone Takuya, there is nothing that you or I can do."

Takuya felt like someone has stabbed him in his heart. He felt there was just nothing to live for anymore.

While Takuya sat thinking. Koji spoke up.

"So her data is gone and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it?"

"No, not that I know of..." Bokomon trailed off.

Takuya clenched his fists, as he felt tears poor out of eyes.

That was the end, the first time Takuya had realized that there was no hope, and there was no way.

"I-I didn't 't even get to say goodbye..." He mumbled through his sobbing. "I didn't get to tell her how I feel..."

Everyone was silent, until Takuya turned and ran away, he couldn't do anything but, just run far, far away.

He herd Koji's yell for him to come back, but ignored it. He hated everything right now, could feel nothing but sadness and hate as he ran.

Koji, on the other hand, wanted to find out more from Bokomon on what was going on. He cared what happened to Kailey, but he knew that if there's nothing they could do to help her, she would want them to fight on and save the Digital world.

Koji soaked everything in as he watched his friend run deeper into the dark forest, he had to givee Takuya some time, or they weren't going to get anywhere.

"Bokomon, who are the ghost's and shadows?"

Bokomon didn't answer, he simple said. "Koji this isn't the time."

Koji understood what Bokomon was saying. "Bokomon Kailey wouldn't want us to fret over her being gone, she would want us to move on and save the world."

"It's not just that Koji, a Digi-deston has been lost, I feel it to be right that you talk to Takuya and tell her parents."

"But Takuya needs time to think everything over! You know him!"

Neemon piped up, "Don't start arguing you two! Bokomon just tell Koji what he needs to know. Koji when you have all the information you go see Takuya."

"Fine."

Bokomon wiped his face. "The ghosts are from when the Legendary warriors imprisoned there data from ever returning from this world as a Digimon. Some were cursed as Shadows."

"What do they want?"

"They want revenge on the spirits."

"Why? Why would the spirits do such a horrible thing?"
"Those Digimon were not as innocent as they say. They worked for Lucemon, they betrayed the legendary warriors and they killed many digimon."

"Why seal them away when there data cane be purified?"
"Because they killed more than just Digimon, they killed humans from your world. They brought many people from your world and endlessly slaughtered them. There data was created by Lucemon himself, pure evil data made for only one purpose, to kill. So the warriors did all that they could do, seal them away and curse them to be nothing more then ghost and shadow data."

"So now there trying to get their revenge. What about our world, many people have disappeared from it?"

"My guess is there slowly working there way to finishing Lucemons plan to kill the humans."

Koji's eyes went wide. "Then everyone in the town-"

"All of Canada is gone!" Bokomon exclaimed.

"Takuya's parents..."

All the was quiet.

"He's lost Kailey and his family, now Koji." Bokomon whispered. "It's your job to tell him."

Koji nodded slightly, he began to walk towards where Takuya had run off too, he stuck his hands in his pockets, took a deep breath and went to find Takuya.
