Chapter 6She looks around the room. It was then that she saw a picture with a blond in it. She jumps onto the desk to get a closer look. As she takes a good look at the blond in the picture, she also notices that Chaos was also in it. It was then that it dawned on her on just who the blond kid was. He looks younger in the picture and didn't have a white hat on his head, or for that matter any hat on his head.
"T.K." She says in awe. Then she begins to look for more pictures and soon finds many with T.K. being in each at different ages. There were also in the pictures was sometimes this kid with goggles with a hat on. Also with grown ups that she could guess were his 'parents.' She just sat there, getting a grip.
She also has this feeling about Chaos. It's true that Digimon can Digivolve down different lines, but she hasn't seen it until now. Patamon and Chaos were one and the same. 'If he didn't know me, then that means that T.K. won't either.' She thinks are she just stares off into space. The only thing that she could get is this, some how T.K. appeared in this reality as a three year old. He doesn't remember his past, and mostly likely has a Digi-Egg. This people adopt him and soon that Digi-Egg hatches. The Digimon that hatches the Digivolves in time to rookie level. Which is ChaosPupmon. Without remembering their pasts, they grow up here.
And if nine months have passed where she came from, that means that if every month that passes means that T.K. and Patamon grow a year older. And if Kari and the others show up in a year, then T.K. will be in his twenties. This made her ill just thinking about it. 'Then it's a good thing that I left when I did. By tomorrow in their time, they'll be finding their way here. So, all I need to do is try and get T.K. and Patamon to remember. That sounds easier then it will be. They might not want to leave.'
She snaps out of her thoughts when the door open. She then finds herself looking into blue eyes. They weren't as open or as friendly as they should be. She then looks at the mess she made and says, "Sorry." She hears him sigh and says, "It's ok. No harm done." She gets off the desk and onto the bed. Chaos looks at her, puzzled as to why she would want to look at pictures.
T.K. picks them up and puts them back to where she found them. As she watches as T.K. moves around, she notices that he was wearing dark colored clothes, and found it odd that he would. But then again, he doesn't remember who she is or who he himself is.
"I'm Shade. So, what's you're name?" T.K. asks. 'Not T.K., for now he only looks to be T.K. He has no memory of me or of anyone else for that matter. So right now, Shade is him name.' "I'm Gatomon. I was wondering what Chaos's partner looked like." She tells him. She wonders if he believes her, for he just looks at her. She keeps her cool though. Then he sighs, and says, "I'll phone Takuya later. Do you want anything?" She shakes her head and Shade then heads out of the room. Chaos stays for a minute and then says, "You brought something out. I wonder what, though." She looks surprise at that. "I remind of something?" She asks. "I think so. But then, he really doesn't want to talk about this. Even with me. He doesn't like to think about it. He just wants to leave it alone and just live his life. I'm trying to get him to remember. So, you know us?" Chaos says. She thinks about it and says, "Your suppose to be a Patamon. And he's Hope." Chaos looks surprised and then turns to leave. "Thanks. Don't let him get you down. He's kind of hard to get close to." Chaos says and then leaves.
She sighs at that. Now it seems that T.K. was taking a page out of Matt's book, without even knowing it. But she'll feel better once some of the others show up. Shade might be T.K., but if he doesn't want to remember, she doesn't know if he ever will. But she was happy that she found them. That was more then she was hoping for.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
Seeing Gatomon brought out some feeling of heart break in him. He had a feeling that he made Gatomon uncomfortable when he just stared at her. He also knows that Chaos was glad to have her around. For if Gatomon was a solid connection to his past, then he had a feeling that there's more where she came from. It seems to be a countdown as to when they'll show themselves.
But he had an idea of whom Gatomon belonged to, though. She belonged to someone like Kouji. He wonders if Kouji might not object to looking after her. He'll talk to Takuya about it on Sunday. For now, he wants to enjoy a meal with his parents and to just relax before the past comes a calling.

Her phone rings and she picks it up. "Hello?" She asks. "Kari, I hate to tell you this, but Gatomon's gone!" Tai says. She just pales and asks softly, "When did this happen?" Tai says, "We just found out ten minutes ago. We searched the apartment, but we found your computer on. I called Izzy and he's coming right over." She thinks about this and looks into Davis's worried face and says, "I'm coming home. See you later." She closes the phone and puts it into her purse.
Then says to Davis, "Gatomon's gone. Izzy's heading over to take a look at my computer. I need to get home. Sorry Davis." Davis also gets up and walks with her. "I'll come too. It's a Digidestine thing, after all. I'll phone Ken. Maybe he can help, too." Davis says. She nods and Davis does just that.
They make it to her place in about fifteen minutes. They meet up with Ken and Yolei. They make it to her apartment and then heads to her room to get a change of cloths. She uses the bathroom to change and then goes to where everyone else is standing. She then breaks the silents by asking, "Well?" Izzy sighs and says, "Some how, Gatomon opened a dimensional gate. I think I can locate where she landed. The thing is, I think that the reality she is at is moving at a faster rate then us. For all I know, every minute might be an hour or more. I'm trying to get that world to be at the same time as our reality. It's slow going, but it's working. I think… Yes got it! Now I'll find away to have the D-terminals working. That way you can E-mail us when your there. This'll take an hour." Izzy then takes their D-terminals.
Soon Matt shows up, for Tai phoned Matt to let him know that Gatomon might have found where T.K. and Patamon are. She hopes that not too much time has passed. But she fears the worst, though.

He sighs as he thinks about what's happening. First they found out that his cousin's dog is really a Digimon. Then they told him all about their adventures in the Digital World. Finally, there was now a cat Digimon staying at Zoe's place. Gatomon was her name and it seems that she's from a different reality. For it seems that her partner is some girl named Kari, and that this Kari is also the child of Light for the Digidestine of that reality. Of course he still bugs Kouji at the fact that there is a girl out there that shares the same element as him.
Gatomon's been here for a week already, and seems to be waiting for her partner. And for once, they all think that Gatomon's right about that. If Gatomon and Kari have a relationship anywhere as close as Shade and Chaos, then they should expect some of that reality's Digidestine and partners showing up soon. And with that on mind, they were all thinking of ways to greet them.
He sighs as he gets home, he opens the door. Taking off his shoes and closing the door, he then makes his way to the kitchen to get a snack. He finds what he'll looking for and heads to the living room to watch TV and to snack.

Izzy finishes with the D-terminals, and not a minute sooner by the way she feels. Well, Tai and Ken had started packing food, cloths, and tents. Davis and her had gone for the sleeping bags. They didn't know what they'd encounter while they were at this different reality, and they wanted to be prepared. They hope for a quick job, to get Gatomon, T.K., and Patamon, and then leave.
Matt comes back with some cloths for himself, for Ken, for Yolei, and for Davis. Davis changes into something more normal. Soon, they all were ready. They already knew whom they were going with, Tai and Matt one pair, Davis and Ken as another, and finally Yolei and herself. They were taking their partners too.
Izzy opens the gate and they all hold up their Digivices. Soon they find themselves in a black void and then they see this city with a train station. They go right through that picture. They land in a pile; soon they get out of it and find themselves on the second floor. They all head up the stairs to the main level.
They open the doors and find a lot of people walking around. They split up and head in different directions. They also found out that it wasn't even noon yet. Most of the Digimon were in their in-training forms, making them easier to carry around, only Wormon was still a rookie.
She and Yolie explored around until they found a park. They were amazed at how many people had cell phones. Even kids their own age had one. They search around the park, and then she sees something. She checks it out, for she thought she saw someone with a white bundle. Soon she sees a girl her age with Gatomon in her arms. She runs up to the girl and says, as she gets close, "Hi I'm wondering where you got that stuff cat?" She sees Gatomon move her head and says, "This is Kari, my partner. Kari, this is Zoe. I've been living at her house for the pass week. It's alright, Zoe's a Digidestine." Zoe holds out her hand and says, "We're heard a great deal about you. You know, Kouji's the Warrior for Light for our group." She takes the hand and they shake. "Kouji?" She asks Gatomon. "He's not who you thinking of. He's twin brothers with Kouichi, who's the Warrior for Darkness for their group. I found it hard to believe myself, but I got to know the two of them and their nice. Though Kouji reminds me of Matt." Gatomon answers.
She sighs and Zoe ofter Gatomon to her. She takes her partner from Zoe. "My friend Yolei's right over there. Maybe we can talk more?" She tells Zoe. Zoe smiles and nods, so she leads Zoe to where she left Yolei. She also had time to think about how better Gatomon looks. Gatomon, too, seems much more full of life then the last time she saw her. Then something about what Gatomon says got through. "You've been here a week?" She says stunned as they draw closer to Yolei.
Yolei with Poromon in her arms walks towards them. Then Yolei asks, "Huh? I missed something didn't I?" "Gatomon says she's been here for a week. And by the way, this is Zoe. She's the person that Gatomon stayed with. Zoe, this is my friend Yolei and her partner Poromon." Yolei and Zoe shake hands and then Yolei asks, "If you don't mind my asking, but wheres your partner?" Zoe sighs and replies, "I don't have one. It's a long story, but I'm Warrior of Wind. I think I better call Takuya to tell him you guys have arrived. I forgot my cell phone, I'll go use the pay phone. I'll be back."
They watch as Zoe leaves them and then Kari asks the question that's buging her. "T.K.?" She says. Gatomon drops out of her arms and just sighs. Gatomon then says, "I know where they are, but I don't think you'd want to meet him just yet." She and Yolei look at each other and then she asks, "Why not? It's T.K., even if he's like older, his still our friend." Gatomon then looks at her in the eye. "He looks a lot like the T.K. we know, but he doesn't remember anything. And Patamon isn't even a Patamon anymore." Gatomon says slowly. She freezes at that, some how she didn't expect this. Yolei asks, "How can he look like T.K.? I thought this place was on a faster time." Gatomon then says, "He came here as a three year old. He doesn't remember any other life then this one. Patamon's now a ChaoPupmon. I warn you now, he even goes by a different name. It's Shade Kanbara." Yolei and she just kind of stand there, stunned at this information. It's one thing to come to terms with T.K. being maybe an adult, but for him to have a second childhood and to not remember anything of ever being T.K. was taxing her imagination.
