Chapter Two

After having met the other kids Kouji and Rei walked into the forest. They walked for a while until Kouji decided to rest and sat down beneath e tree.

"We should rest for a while."

Rei nodded and walked off into the middle of the field they were in. She sat down and started playing with some flowers. Kouji watched her for a while trying to figure out why he had brought her along. He was never the type of person that liked to travel with other people. He always preferred to be alone.

Even as he thought about this he knew the answer. She was helpless and he couldn't just leave her alone. From what he had seen this world was dangerous and he doubted that she would be able to defend herself. Besides she could be the guide that Ophanimon had mentioned.

Although these were good reasons there was another reason why he had stayed with her. She was different from everyone else that he had met before. He had never met anyone so carefree and happy. She was so…pure.

He found that for some reason he wanted to be with her. He was confused by these sudden feelings. They were strange to him because he was always alone. He was an only child so he wasn't used to being with people. He smiled as he watched her play with some friendly digimon.

His stomach grumbled, he reached into his pocket to see if he had anything to eat, but all he had was a pack of gum. Rei walked up to him.

"Kouji-kun, maybe we should get some food before it gets dark."

"Okay. But where can we get some?"

"Don't worry, there's always fruit in the trees you just have to look for it."

They went into the forest to search for food and soon they found some pear-like fruit. Kouji climbed up the tree and picked some. They went back to the field and ate.

"Rei, how did you know that digimon's name?"

"Which digimon?"

"Takuya's spirit."

"I'm not sure. When I saw him he just looked familiar. It was like I had met him before, but I can't remember where." She looked at her fruit pensively.

"Well, don't worry we'll figure it out."

"Yeah, you're right, but what are you going to do now that you have your spirit?"

"I don't know."

His D-tector started making a noise. He took it out and Ophanimon began to speak.

"Kouji, you must go to the forest terminal. You have everything you need to start your journey."

"Wait, how do we get there?"

"You have everything you need to get there with you. You will find your way, so don't worry."

"What did she mean?"

"I don't know. Rei, do you know how to get to the forest terminal?"

"Well, I'm not sure, but maybe we can take the Trailmon."

"That sounds fine. Let's go to the station back in the town."

They went back to the station and asked the Trailmon there.

"The forest terminal? I'm not heading there, but I can get you a bit closer."

"That's fine, when do we leave?"

"Right after my nap. Come back at sunset." And with that he fell asleep.

"Great! What do we do now?"

"Maybe we should rest. We don't know what we might encounter later."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

They sat down on a bench in the station.

"So, Rei, you really don't remember how you got here?"

"No, I just have this feeling that this is where I belong."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I don't really remember why I'm here or who I am. All I remember is that I was born here. Some of these places seem familiar to me, but I don't know why. It's as if I had dreamt this a long time ago and I just forgot."

"But, If you were born here where are your parents?"

"I don't think I have any. I don't think I'm like you."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think I'm…human."

"Then you're a digimon?"

"I don't know. I don't know why I'm here or what I am." She looked down at the ground wondering why she was there and what her purpose was.

Kouji looked at her and felt bad for upsetting her. He hadn't meant to do that he was just curious, this whole thing was just so strange. He had to say something to make her feel better.

"Maybe you're here because I need you."

She looked up a bit surprised.

"I need someone to point me in the right direction and show me the way so that I won't get lost. Maybe you're my guide." He smiled.

"Thanks, Kouji-kun." She smiled back at him.

They sat there and talked until the Trailmon woke up. They got in the Trailmon and left. They traveled for a while and Rei got sleepy.

"Rei, maybe you should sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we get there."

"No, I'm alright."

She tried to stay awake, but she couldn't take it. She fell asleep leaning on kouji's shoulder. After a few minutes the Trailmon stopped. Kouji didn't want to wake Rei so he picked her up and carried her outside. The Trailmon yawned and went to sleep. Kouji yawned too and saw a bench where he could rest.

"I guess I'll sleep here."

He sat down and put Rei down. He placed her head on his lap so that she would be comfortable. He took off his jacket and covered her with it, then he went to sleep.


Kouji woke up to someone talking. He looked up and saw the fat kid from the day before and a girl. Rei woke up and sat up next to him, sqinting as she got used to the morning light.

"So, this isn't the forest terminal?" Said the girl.

"No, it isn't." Kouji said as he stood up.

"Kouji-kun, you came too!" The girl said.

Kouji started to walk away with Rei.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Where ever I want to."

"Hmph! Talk about attitude!"

"Forget about him Izumi, let's go." The other boy said.

Rei turned to Kouji a they walked.

"Kouji-kun, where are we going?"

"We should get some food first."

"Okay." She noticed she had his jacket on.

"Thank you." She said handing it to him.

"You're welcome." They were both blushing.

They found some fruit and ate.

"Kouji-kun, what is your world like?"

"Well, there aren't any digimon and we have lots of stores where we can buy food and other things. There aren't a lot of forests because most of the land was turned into cities. The food is different and everyone is always busy either with work or with school. But, when people aren't working they go out to the stores or to the park to have some fun."

"I wish I could see your world."

"Maybe you can."

"I don't know…"

"What's wrong?"

"I guess I'm just a bit scared of not being able to come back. Even if I don't remember anything I love this world. It's my home. You want to go back to your world and that is how I would feel if I was stuck in your world."

Kouji didn't know what to say. After all she was right. He wanted to go back home and he supposed that she would want to return if she was trapped in his world.

They walked for a while longer until the sun set.

"We should find a place to sleep. Are there any towns around here?"

"I don't think there are, but we can sleep outside. The weather is fine and it looks safe."

"Alright then, let's find a place to camp for the night."

They found a good place to sleep by a stream.

"Maybe I can catch some fish for dinner." Kouji said.

"I'll get some wood to start a fire."

Before Kouji could object she was gone. When she returned he had caught two fish.

"You shouldn't wander off by yourself."

"Don't worry I'm okay. This world is my home after all."

Kouji started a fire and they cooked the fish.

"You know, I'm kind of happy to have something other than fruit to eat."

Rei laughed at Kouji's comment.

After eating they laid down to sleep. Kouji couldn't sleep so he turned to Rei.

"Rei?"

"Yes, Kouji-kun?" She turned o him.

"Why was I brought here?"

"I don't know, but maybe it's because this world needs you. Maybe I need you more than you need me."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure, but I think that you're supposed to use your spirit to help us. This world, from the few memories that I have, I know it's not right. It's not supposed to look like this with all of these holes in it."

"So, you mean I'm supposed to save the world!?!"

"Well, you do have a spirit."

"But, I can't."

"Yes, you can. I believe in you Kouji-kun. I think that you can help us."

He looked at Rei. How could he tell her that he couldn't help when she had so much faith in him?

"I'll do what I can, I promise."

"Thank you."

As she smiled at him he couldn't help but think that he had made the right choice in taking her with him.
