Hi there :3 I'm getting lots of views, but barely any reviews. Let me know what you think so I stay inspired to write more!


"Kimi." Takato jogged up to the red-head's side. "Do you even know where we're going?" The 4 of them had been walking for some time now since the Flymon incident.

Kimi stopped and glared down at the brown eyed boy. Even though Takato was older, Kimi was the tallest of them all. The boy got his height from his father.

"No, I don't, Takato. I'm just trying to make sure we all stay safe. But if you have a better idea, please share it." She sounded very annoyed, making Takato take a step back. No one would be able to tell how scared she honestly was on the inside.

"Well..." Takato didn't really have an answer, but then he glanced down at Dorimon, who was still sitting atop Raiden's head. "How about we ask him? He probably would know if anything evil was going on.."

Raiden and Dorimon looked up at Kimi and Takato. "How about it buddy, do you know why they brought us here? Where we need to go?" Takato asked the small digimon.

But Dorimon shook his head. "Sorry, all I knew was once I hatched I had to go find, Raiden." He then looked down at him and smiled. Raiden smiled back with his eyes.

"Okay, well that was helpful, NOT! I don't see the big rush on finding trouble when only 1 of us have a partner, right now, anyways. We should just stay hidden until our other partners find us." Kimi folded her arms, then her eyes danced around. "Um, where's Emiko?"

"Huh?" Takato spun around and Emiko was gone. He felt himself start to panic. "Emiko!" He shouted.

Kimi sighed. "Where the hell is she always off to?! She's the reason we ended up here in the first place!"

Takato turned to face Kimi and her scowl left her face. His once gentle looking eyes had turned hard as he glared at her. "We are here because it is our destiny. We would have ended up here either way. Now we need to find her, because she obviously scared and needs our help. Not your judgment, Ishida." Kimi was taken back by the way Takato spoke to her. It didn't even seem to be him anymore, and the way he said her last name, it made a chill go up her spine.

A small hand touching his own made Takato's dark expression completely fade away. He looked down, to be met by happy blue eyes and smile.

"Come on Takato, let's go find Emiko." Raiden's voice was calming and he gently tugged at the older boy's hand.

Takato smiled again and with a nod he went with Raiden to find Emiko. Little Dorimon leading the way, his nose to the ground, following Emiko's scent. Kimi stood there for a moment, still in a bit of shock, but soon pulled herself together and jogged after the boys.

It wasn't long before Dorimon started to bark. "Up here, up here! She's up ahead!" He ran back up to where I had found her. Takato, Raiden and Kimi raced after him then came to a hault. Emiko was laying on the ground, a bruise was on her cheek that wasn't there before and a tiny slice was on her neck bleeding. Takato's eyes watered. 'Emiko..'

He knelt down beside her and took her into his arms. She was alive but she had been attacked. 'But why didn't she scream..?' he wondered, his eyebrows scrunched up into question as he moved a strand of hair from her bruised cheek.

"Hey don't touch her!" A young feminine voice sounded from a bush, right across from Takato. Everyone looked over as a small cream colored fox looking digimon jumped out from the bushes. She had purple stripes on her bushy tail and her eyes were big and sky blue.

"But she's our friend. We won't hurt her..do you know what happened to her." Takato looked back down at Emiko, and he frowned.

"My name is Kyaromon, and she is my partner. I showed up just in time to save her from this horrible man." Kyaromon moved closer to Emiko and nuzzled her dark blue hair. "He's the one who did this to her. But the energy from her digivice helped me digivolve into Kudamon and scare the creep away." Kyaromon looked up at Takato sympathetically now. "Can you please help wake her up?"

Takato nodded, giving Kyaromon a reassuring smile. "Of course."

"So, you're saying there are other humans here?" Kimi had her hand on her chin.

Kyaromon nodded. "He looked human to me."

"Hmm.." Kimi looked off in the distance.

"Have you tried biting her?" Dorimon asked, opening his mouth moving towards Emiko's arm.

"Of course not!" Kyaromon was getting ready to headbutt Dorimon but Raiden spoke up.

"Dorimon, no! We don't bite our friends." Raiden used his finger to scold the baby digimon. Dorimon cowered. "Sorry, Raiden."

Takato was watching the digimon, so when a hand softly touched his face he jumped a bit. Emiko giggled slightly as Takato looked down at her, a smile soon spreading on his face.

"Emi..are you okay?" He helped her sit up, and she touched her neck faintly. She looked at her fingers and noticed the blood. Her eyes grew.

"What happened to me?"

"You ran off again." Kimi said with an annoyed tone. Emiko looked up at her. "I did?" She tilted her head a bit, confused.

"Yeah and some creep attacked you but I came and saved you!" Kyaromon jumped on Emiko's lap, giving her a big grin.

Emiko jumped but soon settled and hesitantly reached out and stroked Kyaromon. "Yeah...I remember you. He was trying to take me away somewhere, and then you showed up...I remember this glowing from my pocket, and then, you were glowing." Kyaromon nodded. "Yep, I digivolved to show that guy what was up!"

Emiko smiled then picked Kyaromon up and hugged her. "Thank you."

Kyaromon giggled. "Any time, partner!" Emiko nodded happily.

"Emi, do you know where this guy was trying to take you?" Takato asked as he pushed himself off the ground, then offered Emiko his hand, helping her up.

She shook her head. "No..not really..wait! He said something about going to his palace. But didn't tell me where it was." She wish she could remember more but the punch to the cheek is what must have knocked her unconscious, not remembering much of anything.

"I know where he was going." Kyaromon spoke up. "The Dark Palace. It used to be called The Palace of Light, but darkness has overtaken that part of the digital world."

"Well, I guess we know where we are going now." Kimi said, "let's make some ground before it gets dark out." She then looked at Emiko. "Are you up for it?" Emiko, a bit shocked Kimi was actually acting a bit concerned about her, smiled and nodded.

Without anyone noticing, when Kyaromon mentioned the Dark Palace, Takato suddenly felt sick to his stomach. He went over to a tree and leaned against it with his arm, his head hanging low. His heart beat began to race and his head started to feel dizzy. 'What's wrong with me?' He then felt something trickle onto his lip, he touched at it then looked at his fingers. Blood.
