Chapter 2
Out : We're back!
It : -kinda upset from his 'Hiro' moment-
Out : -smiling, oblivious to what happened after she fainted- Taky! -waves- Hi Taky!
Disclaimer : Unlike a lot of authors and authoresses...I don't...put these...often...-clear throat- But when I do, I don't make someone else do it. Like a muse, or my favorite character from a show. I do it myself or have It say it. -again, no pun intended-
So, I do not own Digimon or it's characters. I do own the plot to this story and the story itself. SO NO COPYING ME! Anyway, I hope you enjoy my story and please review! -smiles cutely-
O.C #2 : Oh, and she doesn't act cute and stuff to get you to like her...she's actually like that...scary as it sounds...-slightly nervous glance at younger girl-
Recap : On the 4th day of their camping trip, the group goes on a hike. Zoe and Tommy fall off a slight cliff into a river, soon joined by Takuya and Kouji, who fell through the bridge. J.P. went for help, and Kouichi was left alone.
-
"At least we all have our packs...so they'll have food...a sleeping bag..." Kouichi was trying to make himself feel better as he wandered through the forest. Trying being the operative word. (1)
He sighed as he placed his left hand on the trunk of a rather large tree and slid down one of it's roots to a lower level of ground. The bluenette was slowly making his way towards the river. Kouichi knew he wouldn't actually reach the river until he was a lot further downstream...but it was worth it to find his friends.
"Why'd things happen like this?" he asked sadly. "Things never go as planned with us...for some reason..."
Kouichi looked to the foliage, far above him, and then kept walking.
-
"Where am I?" J.P. asked, looking around. "I was sure this was the way we came..." (-cough- Kouichi got them lost...remember?)
He sighed. Hearing running water, he smiled slightly and pushed some leaves out of the way. Spotting the river, he nearly rejoiced as he ran over to it and splashed some water on his face.
The light brunette blinked, seeing something in the water. J.P.'s eyes widened in horror when he saw it was a certain blonde girl. Hurriedly wading out to her, he grabbed her lightly and slowly made his way back to the shore and set her down.
"Zoe? Zoe!" he called. She didn't make any movement.
'Whatdoido! Whatdoido? Whatdoido?' he screamed in his head. The light bulb blinked on. 'CPR!'
Zoe's eyes blinked open slowly. She gasped softly when she saw J.P...about to kiss her!
"Wah!"
She sat up like lightning after throwing J.P. off of her.
"Z-zoe?" J.P. asked. She glared at him.
"What were you doing? Trying to kiss me!" she yelled, standing up and brushing herself off. "And why am I all wet?"
"Zoe...you...you fell in the river...remember? I was about to perform CPR...before you woke up..." the chubbier digi-destined stuttered, fearing the blonde's wrath.
Zoe blinked and paused in squeezing the water from her hair.
"Oh, that's right..." she flung her hair back over her shoulder before turning a sheepish smile on her friend. "Sorry J.P. ...Guess I overreacted a bit huh?" she laughed nervously.
"Yea. Maybe." he groaned, standing up himself. "Anyways. We need to find help, or the others. And you need to dry off before you catch a cold." he said in a way that reminded Zoe greatly of the digital world. She smiled. "What?"
"Nothing...you just...reminded me of something...really sweet..." she said in a soft voice, remembering when he talked to her about the way a fire is built.
"Huh?" he blinked at her. She shook her head, water flying from the ends of her hair.
"Never mind. Come on. We should find shelter or something. It actually looks like it's about to rain." she held her hand up as a drop of water landed on her hand. J.P. nodded and they took off.
-
'Takuya...'
Leaves...leaves...LEAVES!
'Takuya where are you?'
Kouji had an arm across his head, protecting it from the branches as he walked through the brush, looking for the brunette. When he woke up on the shore, he realized that Takuya wasn't with him...so he was worried.
'Ah, this is ridiculous!' he cursed silently. 'How much farther downstream could he've gone!'
Pause. Kouji kept walking.
"No one answer that..." he whispered.
-
Kouichi tripped and slid down the high wall of rock and sand. He landed on the bank of the river. Smiling slightly, Kouichi looked around. Spotting a small form laying on it's back in the sand a bit upstream, he ran over.
"Tommy!" he called.
The little body stirred, sitting up and holding his head.
"Tommy! I'm so glad you're ok." Kouichi smiled, helping the smaller boy up. Tommy blinked.
"Kouichi? Ow..." he fell back down.
"What? You hurt yourself?" Kouichi knelt down, taking Tommy's right leg and looking at it.
He had a cut on his ankle, probably from either the fall or the rocks on the shore. The bluenette couldn't be sure, so he shrugged slightly.
"You injured your ankle." DUH! "I'll carry you for now, but we need to find someplace to stay for the night...seeing how late it is already. I'll bandage you when we find it...ok?" he smiled.
Tommy nodded slightly.
"Ok...Hey, Kouichi. Where're the others?" he asked.
"I...don't know..." Kouichi lowered his head, hiding his eyes. "Takuya and Kouji fell in the river like you and Zoe...and J.P. ran off to find help..." he explained, but he seemed to be holding something back.
Tommy nodded, ready to push Kouichi for all he knew, but decided to wait until they had a place to rest.
Out : Yes, the chapters are short...don't sue me! If I write how I want, the chapters will be to long and boring and it'd be 3 chapters long. I'm actually trying to keep this one going a bit...so please bare with the shortness!
(1) My friend read this and said "They just fell in a river. Wouldn't the food be nasty and the blankets all wet?"
I'm sad. Lovers of my other two...haven't reviewed to this yet...Except Takuya of course...Thanks Taky! -crying-
