Ok, ok. I know it has been a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time since I updated but I didn't have any time or ideas that hit me square in the head. I might not continue this story so yea. But here is finally the chapter that I wrote and its not a good one. Blah!

I am warning you that this chapter is boring. Yup.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon…… or scented socks


Kouji immediately ran upstairs when he heard the cry Izumi left out. He bolted into her room and shouted, "Izumi? Is everything alright?" But there was no answer. There was no one there. He stared at the window where the drapes were being carried by the soft breeze of the wind. And the baleful melody sung by the wind chime.

He walked over to where the chime was, enticed by its designs and sculpture for a moment. His fingertips reached out and touched the dragons depicted in the wind chime. Kouji noticed something he hadn't seen before. Within the wind chime was a cobalt indigo gem, the size of a quarter. Out of curiosity, he was inches away from feeling the gem when----- BAM!

Kouji was knocked backwards onto the ground by an invisible force.

"What the hell?"

He slowly rose from the floor and made his way out of Izumi's room. Wait, Izumi. He was looking for her but she wasn't in her room. He decided to search someplace else.

Inside Izumi's room the wind chime radiated an azure blue glow.

(Where Izumi is now)

Hazy blue eyes awoke with a start when she realized what happened a few seconds ago. She pushed herself off the ground when she felt a handful of dirt. Make that dirt with fresh blood on it. She let out a piercing scream when the same hand reached out and closed out the shriek.

Izumi started to squirm and bash about when the hand final let go.

"YES!" the figure whispered loudly. "I did it and now you're here! Shhhhh. I must not speak too loud around here. It's best to be kept quiet or we'll be in trouble." Said a soft smooth tone behind her.

Izumi snapped her head towards that voice and saw----- well she saw herself.

"What? How did you-----how come you-----." Izumi was too startled to question the strange look alike figure. Wait a second…..the unknown young lady seemed familiar. Izumi remembered her from somewhere but couldn't figure out where. The figure smiled and gestured her hand into a handshake.

"Hi. My name is Zorana and the reason you are here because I need your help. "

Izumi stopped for a second. Zorana…..Zorana……why did that sound recognizable to her? 'I'll think about it later' Izumi thought. She shook the maiden's hand and questioned again.

"Help? With what?"

"Well to save both our worlds of course!"

"Both worlds? Where am I? And why is there blood on the floor?"

"Your in world where spirits roam around. But the dark spirits are trying to take control of this so they can then gain power to access your world and reign as king!" Zorana said in one breath. "And there is blood because one of the monsters had fed upon their dinner."

Izumi stood there pale and dumbfounded and said, "THAT IS SICK!...and what does saving the world have to do with me?"

Zorana's smile waned and replied softly, "I'll explain later. For now, just follow me and remain quiet and unseen."

Izumi nodded when a memory hit her. 'Zorana! NOW I know where I heard that name!'

"You're the young girl who was…..who was….." she stuttered for a second and continued, " murdered by a man named Donovan. Right?"

Zorana nodded slightly with a sad look in her eyes but the emotion was replaced with a small smile. "We must get going before the worst is yet to come." Zorana pointed straight ahead and Izumi's eyes followed where the finger pointed at. From a very far distance she could see what looked like a black…..boulder? No. It was a dark castle surrounded by jagged rocks and coarse sand and where monsters and demons roam.

"What is that place?" whispered Izumi.

"That is the kingdom where the evil spirits are awaiting for the arrival of their dark lord."

"The dark lord is in there?"

"No. They do not have a dark lord yet but they are searching for one. Let's be relieved they haven't found one yet. Come on. We house be leaving now." They walked away from the kingdom. After a while of silence a thought came in Izumi's mind.

"Do you have special powers?"

Zorana gave her a quizzical look. "No. Why do you ask?"

"I would like to know how I got here and how you were able to bring me here."

Zorana kept on walking and answered, "There is a magical door….that sounds stupid but nonetheless a magical door where anyone here------except the dark spirits, can travel to your dimension for a few seconds. Too make things even worse the door is located inside the dark kingdom over there!"

Zorana became all jumpy and chatting excitedly about how she made it out alive and how the mission was a success.

"-----and the footsteps were heading my way as I was this close tothe magical door so I made a dash to hide behind this empty wooden box. They were everywhere and held clubs and chains with them! I thought I was a goner!"

Izumi half listened to her rant and felt alone when she thought of parting from her love, Kouji.


So yea. How was it? Hopefully I'll update sooner……or later. Hope it doesn't take another year to update a chapter…….. MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! HAPPY VERY VERY VERY BEALTED FOURTH OF JULY!
