Trusting a new friend

"Vazz, we have been walking for two days in this creepy forest." Mimi said tired.

"Yes and we hadn't eat anything since breakfast." Kari complained.

"I'm starving Vazz." Sora said desperately.

"I think it's better to rest here and find some food." Matt said very, very tired.

"You're right, is getting late, so we are going to stop here for the night." Vazz said.

All of the digidestineid sat down with relief, they were very tired.

"Izzy and Joe, I need you to get some wood for a fire." Vazz said to them.

Joe protested saying that he was very tired. Izzy just nodded and walked away, and Joe didn't have any option but to follow him.

"I'm gonna get something to eat." Vazz said standing up. " Matt, T.K. stay here and take care of the girls."

Both nodded and Vazz walked away.

Izzy and Joe where looking for wood as Vazz instructed, but Joe was restless and nervous.

"What do you think of Vazz?" He asked Izzy. "I mean, do you trust him?"

Izzy took a little time to think before he answered.

"Yes, I think I do."

"But this could be a trap."

"Yes it could, but we don't have any other option if we wanna survive." Izzy answered.

"Probably you are right, as usual." Joe said with resignation.

"Well, it's done." Izzy said holding a large bunch of sticks.

The other digidestineid where sitting in a circle.

"What do you think about Vazz helping us?" Matt, who was holding Sora, asked.

"I dunno, I'm not really sure if we can trust him." T.K. said.

"I think it's okay, besides he have saved us two times." Sora said without moving.

"Yeah, if he wanted us death he could have let those monsters to kill us." Kari answered a little bit angry because of the distrust that T.K. had in the one who was helping them to find her brother.

"Just trust him, he is a friend." Mimi said.

"All the girls trust him, he is not that handsome." Matt said laughing

Joe and Izzy appeared from some bushes greeting everyone; they sat down joining the circle and the conversation.

"We were deciding if it was okay trusting Vazz or not." Matt said to them.

"Really? That was exactly what we were discussing." Joe said.

"Well it makes nervous the fact that he always has his face covered." T.K. said.

"Yeah that's a little bit odd, why he never shows his face to us." Joe asked.

"Well that's true, but I'm sure he has some reason for doing it." Kari said trying to defend him.

"I think that's something about Vazz you have to know." Sora said abandoning Matt's arms.

All of them look at her waiting for the information about Vazz that she was going to give them.

Sora told them what Vazz told her about his amnesia.

"And the most important thing is… that this happened about two weeks ago." She finished.

"Two weeks ago… about the time Tai disappeared." Matt said understanding what Sora was trying to said.

"So maybe Vazz…" Kari said.

"Maybe Vazz is Tai." Sora said finishing her sentence.

"Well that's a probability, but… as far as I can remember Tai didn't have those kind of abilities."

"Yeah, but it's too much coincidence." Matt said. " And also there's the fact that he was told not to show his face."

"Yes, there's a great possibility that he could be Tai, but as I said it's just a possibility." Izzy spoke thoughtfully.

Vazz was in the woods looking for some food, when he heard the sound of a brook. He walked toward the sound and he found the stream, which was bigger than he had thought. There he found some fishes.

This will be good enough. He said to himself and start to catch them one by one, he was pretty fast. When he caught enough fishes he took them and started to tie them but suddenly he heard a small growl. Suddenly a dog like digimon appeared.

Vazz looked at it and it looked ready to attack.

"Come here boy, I'm not gonna hurt you, don't worry." He said with a calming voice.

The digimon stopped and doubt for a moment, then it walked toward Vazz and he noticed that one of her legs was injured. The dog kept walking and lied next to him.

"You are alone, aren't you?" Vazz asked the creature giving it a fish.

The digimon gave the fish a huge bite and looked Vazz, then he continued eating.

Vazz looked its injured leg and stood up.

"You wait here, I'm gonna get something that will make you feel better, please don't eat the fish." Vazz said standing up and leaving.

After a while Vazz reappeared with some leafs, the dog was in its same position and the fish was intact. He took a rock and smashed them. When he finished he put the sticky substance on the dog's leg covering it with another leaf as a bandage.

Once he was done, the digimon stood up. It gave Vazz a grateful look and disappeared into the woods.

Vazz looked the dog until it disappeared and then he saw the fishes.

"Damn it! I forgot!" He thought remembering why he was there.

The digidestineid were around the fire that Matt made with the sticks that Izzy and Joe brought.

"Vazz is taking his time, don't ya think?" Mimi said starving

"Maybe something happened to him." Sora answered worried.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he can take care of himself." Matt said when suddenly Vazz appeared holding a large amount of fish.

"Sorry I was… delayed." He said. "I hope one of you to be a good cooker cuz I suck."

"I can cook them, don't worry Vazz." Matt said standing up.

After Matt finished cooking the fish everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, everyone except Vazz who, as usual, was sitting apart from the rest.

Sora saw him and took a fish for him, but she was stopped by Matt. She was ready to complain but immediately she found out why Matt had stopped her. Kari was walking toward Vazz with a fish in her hands.

"Uh… Vazz?" Kari asked sheepishly.

"Something's wrong, Kari?" Vazz asked.

"Uh… no, it's just that I saw that you haven't eaten anything and I … bring you some food." Kari said shyly.

Vazz looked the girl that was offering him a fish. He stood up and took it thanking her.

"Your welcome." She said shy.

Vazz looked her smiling, she noticed even with his face covered.

"Thank you very much." Vazz said putting his hand on her head.

"I'm not a dog." She said laughing.

"Yeah I know." Vazz said also laughing leaving his hand where it was.

Kari enjoyed a little more the caress and she left.

Once they were all finished they went to sleep. Vazz of course stood awake. He was looking at the stars sitting on the branch of a tree when he heard a little moan.

He found that the one moaning was Kari. He jumped from his branch and walked close to her. Once he was close enough he noticed that she was saying something.

"Brother…" She said silently as one single tear appeared in her closed eyes.

Vazz looked Kari feeling very sorry for her, he raised his hand and gently he cleaned the tear from Kari's face.

"She is an angel, don't ya think?" A voice asked quietly from Vazz's back.

He tuned and saw Mimi giving him a sweet smile.

"Yeah, she is." Vazz said looking Kari again. "But she is very sad."

"Yes, she is very strong, but she is devastated, after all Tai was her beloved brother."

"He was, wasn't he? And what about you? What do you feel about Tai's missing?" Vazz asked.

"I… I think that I… well I miss… him… yes, I miss him." Mimi said hiding her face.

Vazz looked her understanding what she was feeling. He turned and caressed Kari's face. She opened her eyes slowly looking Vazz.

"Tai?" She asked quietly.

Vazz didn't answer, he was so sorry for her and sorry of not being the one she was looking for.

"Sorry Kari, is just me, I didn't mean to wake you up." He said.

"No, is okay, I wasn't having a good dreaming at all."

" Even thou you should try to sleep, the avernum is still far from here." Vazz said and the girl obeyed.

"You should try to sleep to Mimi."

The girl smiled again and stared at the sky.

"I'm not really tired, besides this is a beautiful night." Mimi said.

"Yeah, that's true." Vazz answered looking the stars.

"It would be more romantic if you see it with the company of a beautiful girl than seeing it alone, don't ya think?" Mimi asked with a sweet tone.

"Well that offer is very difficult to reject." Vazz answered laughing. "But, unfortunately for us, you will have to save it for another time, tomorrow we have along journey, so is better for you to rest a little bit."

"I think you are right." Mimi said yawning. "Well Vazz good night."

"Good night."

Mimi gave him one last of her sweets smiles and fell sleep.

Vazz saw her smiling too and the returned to his branch.

They are good people… Vazz said watching the sleeping group, and soon he fell sleep.

Vazz was in a dark place covered with fire and ashes. He was surrounded by dozens of strange creatures. Suddenly one of them attacked him, and he killed it almost automatically with his own hands.

Horrified he looked his hands but they were… Claws? What the hell? But before he could think of anything else another beast attacked.

When he saw the creature, a killing fury possessed him and, again, he killed the creature almost automatically.

Once he killed the second creature the rest was ready to attack. Suddenly something inside him arose and he roared fiercely within the darkness…
