Leo opened his eyes, and they widened when he realized where he was.
He was on the couch in the lair, Koromon on his lap, when a green and white blur tackled him in a bear hug.
"Leo!!!!"
He looked down in surprise at the small female turtle hugging him.
She was the smallest of the five turtles, but had large violet eyes and a white mask.
She was sweet, understanding, as fast as Mikey when she needed to be, but she had a slight temper herself.
She'd saved all four of her brothers butts one way or another, almost like a little guardian angel. She was there little angel of light, and none of them wanted her to change.
That's when he realized it. His brothers were still in the Digital World…
"Kitty, can you let me breathe a minute?"
She nodded, smiling hugely before standing up.
"I've really missed you, sis…"
She tilted her head curiously.
"You've only been gone a minute, Leo…"
"…What?"
"It's only been a minute." She repeated, and smiled at Koromon.
"Hello, Koromon. Sorry if I squished you or anything."
Now shock played across Leo's features.
"How'd you know his name?"
She shrugged.
"I just do."
She picked up the small In-Training Digimon.
"You two hungry? I was making some omelet while you were gone."
Both eagerly agreed, and filled their starving stomachs. Kitty looked a little surprised, but shook it off.
"You guys can have my share. I'm not that hungry…"
Once all the omelet was gone, Leo flopped down on the couch, turning on the TV.
As he relaxed, the news came on, and he shot up.
"Meramon?! Frigimon?!"
"So you can see them, too?"
He looked at Kitty curiously as she leaned on the back of the couch.
"I've been seeing them for a while…sensei just thinks I'm watching too many scary movies with Mikey…"
Leo looked deep in thought, when the laptop still on the couch flickered to life, showing Don's face.
"DONNIE!!!"
"Leo…Don't come back…Too dangerous…"
"But I need to get back, Donnie! Help me!" Leo pleaded, holding the sides of the screen.
"…Don't…Come back…"
And the screen died…
Kitty looked at Leo and the screen worriedly, seeing guilt claw its way onto the blue-banded turtles face.
"Leo…you'll get back…"
"But how? This stupid Digivice isn't helping!" Leo ground out.
"You'll get back…you're not gonna give up, are ya?"
He looked at her.
"I mean, you're not just gonna give up and leave them there, right?"
He nodded after a moment, and the ceiling above them shook.
Leo grabbed Koromon, and headed out into the sewers.
"Leo!"
Kitty followed him, and grabbed the ladder as he climbed up.
"Kitty…"
"I'm going!" She said stubbornly, following him up to the alley above.
Leo's eyes widened when he saw a Tyrannomon further off.
"Maybe there's a portal!"
He used the shadows to get closer when the large Digimon disappeared.
'Shell!!'
"Leo…"
He turned to see Ogremon across the street, standing on a sidewalk crawling with people.
But…no one seemed to notice him…
"What's going on?"
Then he noticed the sign, which signaled not to cross.
"He's waiting for the light…?"
When it changed, Ogremon flew at them, and Koromon jumped to meet him.
"Bubble Blow!"
Koromon and Ogremon jumped on the sides of buildings and sidewalks, and Leo looked at them worriedly.
"Koromon!!"
Ogremon hit Koromon in midair, and Leo moved more out of the shadows, his Digivice glowing.
"Koromon, Digivolve to…AGUMON!!"
The small yellow dinosaur Digimon landed on the top of a street lamp when a white portal opened in the sky.
It pulled Ogremon through, and Agumon started going up, too.
Leo felt himself floating as well, when Kitty grabbed hold of his hand.
He looked down at her worried face.
"…Please stay safe…"
"I'll try, Kitty." He promised.
"And make sure the others are okay…"
He nodded, still floating up.
"…I'll miss you…"
"I'll miss you, too…"
And she released him.
He watched as he floated into the white portal, how heartbroken she seemed.
'She can't come…it's too dangerous…'
But he didn't know she'd go to the Digital World as well…
