Hello! Sorry for the late update. Hope you enjoy this chapter and please review. The sooner you review the sooner I update and the more you review the more I write. Thanks to TrialAndError1192812 for reviewing. Also notice that I have changed my pen name to Rei-chan689 as I always use the same original character in all of my stories. Now, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter Eight

Ranamon, Mercurymon, Grumblemon, and Arbormon barged into the room. Everyone got ready to fight, but Seraphimon stopped them.

"Leave, I'll take care of them. You must go back to your world."

"But, you can't defeat them all by yourself. We can help you." Takuya said

"No you must leave. Please take Rei with you. Without her this world will be lost. Don't let them get her. Even if this world is destroyed there is still hope if she is safe. Now, go!"

Seraphimon was holding the enemies back with Wizardmon. Grumblemon was about to strike him when a strong current of wind hit him. Rei had managed to use her new power.

"Seraphimon, I won't leave without you!" Rei said.

"You must. Now, go."

Kouji saw that Rei really cared about Seraphimon. He couldn't just take her away from her friend and he couldn't just leave her.

"Seraphimon, we can help. We're Legendary Warriors." He said.

Seraphimon looked at them and knew that he wouldn't be able to make them leave. Before he could do anything they spirit evolved and began to fight. Rei and Izumi stayed together with Bokomon and Neemon as they didn't have any spirits. Rei was able to hold back a few attacks, but soon she grew tired.

"What's wrong sugga? Are you tired?" Said Ranamon mockingly.

She attacked them and Rei tried to block the attack, but it wouldn't work. Seraphimon saw them and stood in front of them.

"Seraphimon!"

The others saw this and attacked him together. He became a digi-egg. Rei ran over to pick it up.

"You must leave before it is too late. The hope of the digital world is in you now." Wizardmon said.

He opened a secret passageway on the wall and they went in. They ran until they reached the exit where a Trailmon was. Wizardmon told them that he would hold them back while they escaped.

"Go! You must hurry and get away! Please protect Lady Rei. She is our only hope."

He closed the door and the Trailmon left. Rei hung on to the egg that used to be Seraphimon. She felt like crying. She finally found someone who knew her. She found the person that she had lived with. The one who was the closest thing to a father she had ever had. She couldn't hold it back anymore and began to cry silently. Izumi walked up to her when she saw that she was crying and tried to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that we things will get better. we just have to wwait for the egg to hatch."

Bokomon offered to take care of the egg.

Rei sat there thinking of what had happened, of what she remembered, of who she was. Now that she knew she was worried of what would happen to her. Of what would happen to her world. Seraphimon had told the others to go back to their world and to take her with them. He said that she was their only hope. Was she really that important? To be honest she still didn't fully remember who she was and what her purpose was in the digital worl. She guessed that she would just have to find out. But, at least she was no longer alone. She had the others with her and she had Kouji. He was her guardian. She was glad for that, but wondered what he thought about that.

Meanwhile Kouji was hanging on to the side of the Trailmon. He hoped that Rei was alright. She seemed to have been attached to Seraphimon. He wondered how she was taking things. He also thought about what Seraphimon had meant when he said that he was Rei's guardian. Was he really supposed to be in charge of her? To take care of her? She was supposed to be the hope of the digital world so why trust him with someone so important? He had to admit that from the moment he had met Rei he had felt a strong connection to her. He knew that he would do anything to keep her safe even if he wasn't her gurdian. He found himself wondering where these feelings had come from. He had never felt so close to someone before. He sighed. He would never understand Rei or for that matter his feelings towards her.
