"So where are we going?" Izumi asked as she walked with the group to a new digital town.

"Not exactly sure. Ophanimon told us to follow this river till we reach a forest where Seraphimon will be waiting for us." Takuya explained as they walked.

Izumi had completely passed out after her talk with Takuya and no one could wake her when Ophanimon was giving instructions.

"That's what you get for sleeping in." Kouji criticized.

"It's a habit. For as long as I remember, I've had a hard time sleeping and couldn't fall asleep till late at night then end up sleeping in too late." She shrugs and glances at him. 'He is really cute with that badass look of his.' She laughs a bit to herself before shaking her head. 'Man, I'm turning into a giddy school girl.'

"What's so funny?" Kouji raised an eyebrow at her.

"Nothing, just thinking of something." She smiled at him and walked ahead.

Kouji gave her a strange look and thought to himself. 'Is this really Izumi? Our Izumi? It's got to be………that is my old bandana after all.'

"Kouji," Kouichi poked him in the side. "You are staring to long." He whispered.

Kouji got a little color in his face as he realized what he was doing and thanked god that only Kouichi had seen him do it.

"I don't know what you are talking about." He looked away.

"I'm not blind Kouji." He laughed and decided to drop the subject.

"So how do you plan to get the forest Takuya?" Junpei asked as they hit a dead end.

Standing widely before them was the Forest Ophanimon told them about, but the only thing standing between them and the forest, was the giant gorge.

"There has to be a bridge around here somewhere." Takuya stated as he started to walk in a direction.

"Like that one over there?" Tomoki pointed in the opposite direction that Takuya was heading.

"Ummmm……yeah." He sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head with a nervous laugh.

"Nice Takuya." Kouji criticized and walked towards the bridge with his arms folded over his chest.

They all approached the bridge and looked at it skeptically.

"Is it safe?" Junpei asked as he tapped it with his foot.

Kouichi and Takuya grinned at one another and gave Junpei a slight push onto the bridge. He yelled and hunched over as he stood on the bridge.

"I think its safe Junpei." Takuya laughed as he walked past him and walked across the bridge laughing a little with Kouichi following.

"You guys didn't have to do that!" Junpei yelled and continued to do so as they crossed the bridge.

Almost everyone was over before Junpei stopped yelling; Kouji and Izumi.

"What's wrong Izumi?" Kouji looked at her as she backed away from the bridge.

"I'm terrified of heights…." She said in a frightened tone.

"Since when?" Kouji blinked and stared at her amazed.

"I've always been afraid of heights." She looked at him.

"I think it might be because of the amnesia." He shook his head and approached her. "Come on, I'll help you across." He took her hand and led her to the bridge.

She hesitated as he had her walk in front of him. "I can't do this." She turned and tried to walk away.

"Yes you can Izumi." He stopped her and held her by her shoulders as he looked in her eyes. "I believe you can. You can close your eyes and I'll guide you. I promise you will be safe."

She searched his eyes with hers and once she saw that he was telling the truth, she inhaled deeply and turned to face the bridge.

"Don't let me fall." She whispered.

"Don't worry, you are in safe hands." He reassured her as he put his hands on her sides and edged her forwards slowly. "We'll go at your pace. Just don't look down." He told her gently.

Izumi nodded and slowly walked forward. They walked at her pace and once they were in the middle of the bridge, Izumi opened her eyes a tiny bit and saw the drop to the bottom of the gorge. She did a loud "eep" and turned before clinging on to Kouji for dear life.

Kouji began to get a little red in the face as she stat the clinging. Eventually, he heard the ruckus coming from the other side of the bridge. He saw everyone pointing in his general direction with a look of panic on their face. He turned to look behind him and he found an unwanted site.

Standing there with a sharp dagger in his hand, stood Ninjamon. Kouji's eyes got wide as he saw the Digimon standing there and put his hands on Izumi's shoulders and looked at her.

"Izumi, I need you to turn around and run. And I mean now!" He told her as she looked at him with a confused face.

Realizing that they didn't have the time, Kouji just picked her up and started running across the bridge. He was about 3/4ths of the way across when he felt the bridge fall out from under him. He clung to Izumi tight and closed his eyes and prayed for a safe landing.

I know it's short, but I felt like leaving you all with a cliff hanger.

I've been in a writing mood, so you just might find another chapter coming out here soon.

Laters all.
