Children of the Legend
By: Kari Minamoto
Author's Note: Susanoomon is the unity spirit evolution of all the children, but it is first performed by Koji and Takuya when Koichi gave his spirits to Koji.
Thank you so much for all the reviews! I did not expect this many, especially this being my first fic. Here's the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own digimon at all, although it would be cool if I did. I own this story though.
Chapter 3- The Hunt Begins
The 02 Digidestined were still talking about Koji Minamoto and what Izzy deemed odd behavior. Kari, who taught Koji, insisted that he was a good student who minded his own business, most of the time.
Izzy still wanted an eye kept on him. The rest of the team thought he was going slightly insane but were not about to say that to his face. Matt wanted to end the suspicions that Izzy had of Koji altogether.
Ironically, Matt took a position as a guidance consular at the school at the beginning of the year, and had been assigned Koji, as well as a hundred other students.
During Koji's study block Matt called Koji up for a visit. He had told the boy that it was to talk about courses, his grades, and to get to know him in general. The truth was that Matt really was looking for any odd signs of behavior when he saw the picture that Izzy had on the computer.
Koji entered the room silently. He entered so quietly that if Matt had not been looking at the door, he would not have realized Koji had entered.
Koji entered the room silently and as soon as he knew that Matt had seen him, they greeted each other.
"Good afternoon Mr. Ishida," Koji said gruffly and took a seat.
Matt knew right away that cracking this boy was going to be hard. He decided that the best tactic was to just talk and hope that Koji would let something slip.
"So, Koji, I'm Mr. Ishida, It's nice to meet you," said Matt with a smile and offering his hand.
Koji did not shake his hand and instead nodded curtly.
"Koji, I was looking at your class schedule, pretty impressive, half of your classes are at an Honors level. Your grades are also excellent, nothing below a B, you should keep up the good work," said Matt once again smiling.
Koji took this compliment passively and without any enthusiasm.
Matt was beginning to think, Man what have I gotten myself into, this kid is never gonna crack, he kinda reminds me of… well… me as a kid.
Matt was not the person who was determined to give up though. Tai had been able to break through the cocoon that he had created when he was younger, and was confident that he could break the one Koji had put up during the meeting.
Little did Matt know that Takuya had already broken Koji's real cocoon that he had formed a few years ago; and that this one was just made because of distrust.
"Koji, it says in your profile that you enjoy soccer and swimming and you are also in the Leadership Assembly. Is there anything else you like to do outside of the school?" asked Matt.
Koji replied with on word, "Kendo."
Matt was not really surprised that Koji liked Kendo, he seemed disciplined and from Cody he knew that you had to be disciplined in that particular, or any martial art.
"Well, how about your family. Why don't you tell me something about them?" Matt tried again.
"Divorced, live with my Dad and Step-mom, don't live with my twin brother," Koji answered simply.
Matt was baffled by how Koji was being straight to the point but also giving simple answers.
Koji did not trust Matt one bit. Matt seemed too concerned and was suspicious about why he was really in guidance. He had a feeling that it had something to do with what happened in the computer lab, after all, teachers always tell each other what happens with the students in and our of class.
Matt decided to get straight to the point. He came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no way that Koji was going to budge.
"Look, Koji," Matt said seriously, "I want to know why you seemed so surprised at the picture on the computer screen in the lab a couple of days ago. I have a copy if you need to see it again."
Koji knew exactly how to respond to this sort of question. The team had come up with several excuses to use, and it was up to Koji to pick which one he wanted.
"I was at the train station the day it occurred and never noticed that… creature, when there," Koji replied without any trace of knowing more than he claimed.
Matt seemed relieved that this was all Koji seemed to know about digimon.
His thoughts about what Koji had just told him were interrupted when Koji asked, "Why did you want to know."
Matt had not been expecting this question and was thrown a little off guard.
He answered, "My friend is interested in what really happened and asked me to find out information about the incident and to investigate anything that I thought might help him."
Koji did not get to get to respond to this statement because at that moment the bell rang for the end of school.
Koji had promised to meet up with the rest of the team after school to try to find their spirits.
As the bell rang he said, "Bye Mr. Ishida" and ran out the door.
"Where is Koji, he's never late," Takuya grumbled.
As Takuya said this Koji came running up to the group. He seemed out of breath yet still held his composure. Before Koji could say anything to the team, his cell phone started to make a beeping noise.
As soon as Koji removed the cell phone from his pocket, the screen displayed a map of their world, more specifically the Shibuya area of Japan.
The team knew this must be a sign that they were close to Koji's spirit. Ophanimon had sent a recent e-mail saying that the cell phones would start to react to the spirits when they were close by.
The chosen children knew they must be near at least one of the Spirits of Light or Koji's cell phone would be functioning normally.
Koji looked at his cell phone and then at his teammates and said, "I think we should go look for my spirit since my cell phone is the only one that's picking up any kind of signal."
The children decided that this was the obvious move to make. With this discovery the children set off to find Koji's spirit that was hidden somewhere in the park.
Little did they know that in the digital world, the evil that they were warned about was growing stronger, and would soon appear in their world.
To be continued…
There's another chapter from Kari Minamoto. I worked hard to get this chapter up before vacation because next week I have to do my Transcendentalism project and my friend's from Maine are coming down for two days. I'll be really busy, but will still try to write. Also I am going to try to update weekly, but I'm not going to promise this because of my workload at school. Honors: English, history, and Spanish; college prep.: geometry, bio, and religion, so I'm constantly busy. I also have swimming team, confirmation classes, and other things on top of schoolwork. I also apologize for any grammar or spelling errors. I tried to find them all before posting. Sorry for babbling, I hope you liked the chapter!
Please read and review!
