Wootai! So this is the second chapter. I'm so happy I got good reviews on the first one. I was SO freaking scared. You wouldn't believe! Ah, so a little note to anyone out there. This story was written when I was in, no…when I just finished 6th grade. So yeah. But they're being re-written with my Junior-in-highschool mind. Yay for that! Anywho….I don't own Digimon…though I will eventually own the mangas of it…BWA HAHA! So yeah, Read on!

Kari rose an eyebrow and TK burst out laughing. "You've GOT to be joking Gatomon!" Kari spoke first. She smiled at Gatomon with a bit of worry in her eyes. It wasn't often Gatomon joked. Sarcasm, sure, but joking? That was a definite no.

"Yeah, Gatomon, Patamon would never do something like that…" TK spoke between snickers.

Gatomon sighed once more. "I'm sorry, but…it's true. You see…" Her voice grew light as her mind trailed into a flashback.

"Patamon! Watch out!"

"Boom Bubblee-PAh!" The little ball of orange and cream fur blew out a bubble of air that was slightly destructive when used against weaker enemies.

"Let's run of it! Come on!" Gatomon motioned for Patamon to follow. "I wish Kari and TK were here, we could digivolve then."

"Now's not the time for wishing" Patamon snapped "We'll hide in the bushes until he passes." Patamon flew into some nearby bushes and Gatomon eagerly followed. "Shh!" Patamon put his fingers to his lips and hushed Gatomon quickly.

"Where are those measly two digimon…Don't rest until you've found them!" A voice called. It sounded very similar to TK's.

"You heard him! We need those two Digimon alive at any costs!" Another voice, this time like Kari's. There was a small cracking sound from the left of Patamon. He jumped and looked at Gatomon…who was actually on his right.

"Shh!" he hissed. Gatomon looked at Patamon and rolled her eyes "I didn't do anything." She grumbled, sighed and then rolled her eyes again.

"There! Get them!" Ordered Kari's wanna-be voice. Two DarkPixiemon charged in the direction the voice had ordered them to go, towards Patamon and Gatomon. Without warning Patamon shoved Gatomon out of the way just before he was captured by the DarkPixiemon.

"Oh no! Patamon! Lightning claw!" Yelled Gatomon as her paw lit up and she shot it to hit the enemy. However, Gatomon would never get to see if her hit was a direct one. Suddenly a whip lashed out and hit her. The impact was so fierce it forced her back, harshly, against a tree. Gatomon was knocked unconscious.

There was a silence among TK and Kari as they just stared at Gatomon. Both of them unable to comprehend the tale Gatomon had just told. Gatomon sighed and rubbed the back of her neck with her yellow paw. "I'm sorry TK, but you must believe me."

TK sighed and removed his white hat. He ran his free hand though his hair and then put his hat back on. For a moment the trio just stood there. Gatomon tried not to sigh again by distracting herself with the meal that was almost done with. Kari saw the opportunity to comfort TK and moved to sit beside him. Her steps were soft so as not to startle or upset him (though she wasn't sure why she thought they would). "TK?" she asked softly "I'm so sorry…" She sat close to him, something she wished she could do without an excuse. "But I promise we'll fight this! We'll find him and then get him back. I'll hel-"

"No." TK shuddered. Tears were filling his eyes. Tears he was ashamed of. He pulled his legs up to his chest and put his arms on his knees. He then rested his head on his arms. It was a good way to hide your tears, though it was a bit late for hiding. "No. You won't help me find him."

"But TK!" Kari protested "We have to find him! We can't just leave him out there! They've got him brainwashed or something! Patamon would never do this of his own free will!"

"Kari!" TK snapped. He looked up at her, his eyes no longer teary but now narrowed. "It was your digimon's fault that this happened to him in the FIRST place!" He stood abruptly and glared down at Kari. "It could be your fault we won't find him. After all, like master like pet." He looked over at Gatomon, who by now had turned to speak up for Kari. Kari however was at a loss for what to do. Her eyes were filled with Sadness. Her mouth hung slightly open in shock and her eyes were wide. 'What have I done?' Crossed TK's mind quickly but he was too far into the fit of anger to stop now.

"FINE!" Kari shouted suddenly as she stood up to be at least close to eye level with TK. "If that's the way you feel then you can find Patamon by your god damn self!" She snapped. Kari was numb. She had never had a fight with TK like this. It was almost as if she was standing there, watching this all happen and not actually participating. She could see herself turning and running off. She watched as Gatomon left the fish that she had worked so hard to cook and run after Kari in a desperate attempt to stop her. But that's all she saw before her vision was returned to her and all she could see was the forest before her. Trees were zooming past her and her legs just kept moving faster and faster.

"Kari! Wait! I didn't-!" TK yelled, starting to run after her himself but stopping only after a few steps. He couldn't take back what he said, he knew that. He'd…just give Kari sometime to cool down before he crawled back on his hands and knees to beg for her forgiveness. "Great," He thought aloud "This is definitely going to rack you up some points above the other guys."
