"You know we've been looking for you for hours." I looked over my shoulder at the speaker, it seemed that TK had been the lucky one to find my hiding spot. I looked at my watch and realized he was right, I had been gone for a while. I still didn't say anything as he sat down next to me. What could I say? 'Hey don't worry about me, I just went through a roller coaster of emotion because of the description that Gennai so clinically gave of my past.' Yeah, I'm sure that would go over well. I saw him looking at me, and realized he must be waiting for a response to a question I didn't hear him ask. After a few seconds of staring he tried a different approach.

"Isn't it cool to learn about the digidestioned who came before us?" I could tell he was trying and decided I he deserved an answer.

"I guess so," I shrugged as I gave my reply. TK gave me a funny look and delivered a classic line, "Who are you and what have you done with Davis?"

"What's that supposed to mean."

"Your the one I would expect to be most excited about this. I would think finding out about other humans in the Digital World would interest you." His voice was soft and questioning. This was why we were friends. When it really mattered TK knew how to question without prying. He would ask questions without actually asking them and let me decide whether or not I wanted to answer. There was no pressure and if I wanted to I could end the conversation right now. The other important thing was that he was making observations, not judgments. As much as all the little jokes everyone just loves to make bug me, I know that they aren't truly judging me.

"Umm.. So how 'bout those Warriors," he tried again, "I wonder were they are now?"

"Properly, went back to their lives." If only, but I decided to at least attempt conversation.

"Yeah, I hope they got to. I mean the book doesn't even tell what happens to them."

"The Digiworld looks good to me so they must of done something right."

"I guess so."

"Was everyone really worried?"

"Huh.."

"Me being missing, was everyone really that worried?" I hated to show my insecurities, I knew they cared.

"Of course we were. Your our friend Davis. I know we don't always get along but your still one of my best friends."

"We do make dysfunctional, functional," a chuckle followed my words.

"We did learn from the best," he said with laughter, as he stood up. TK offered me a hand up and I took it. Once on our feet he began to lead the way back to the others, and my doom. Well, doom might be a strong word..

...or not. There were eleven human faces looking at me and waiting for answers. I had none to give, so I winged it, "I needed time to process this. I didn't want to something stupid." I looked and saw most of them believed me, but I wasn't fooling TK, especially after our last conversation. Before he could try and get more answers from me, I mentioned that I had to get home and made my escape.

"Davis, wake up!" I jolted awake at Jun's yell. I quickly shook the sleep from my head and saw Jun had also woken Flint up. I looked at the the clock.

"What the hell Jun, its almost one in the morning. Why are you waking me up?" I was not happy.

"Kari called," her voice had gone soft, "Chiaki had a nightmare. Shes still 'rattled' apparently and has been asking for you." It took me a minute to fully realize what she was telling me. Jun remembered Chiaki's nightmares when we were younger and how only our group could comfort her. I shared a look with Flint before speaking, "Leon and Lowell are on the way to Kari's, I go straight there, you pick up the twins. Jun can you cover us?"

"Of course," her reply was instant, she knew how important this was.

I arrived at Kari's quickly, having sprinted the whole way there. When Kari opened the door, I beat her to the punch, "Where is she?"

"The couch," the reply had barely left her lips and I was already softly approaching the living room. Before entering I turned back to Kari, "Flint should be here soon with Leon and Lowell, please just let them in." I walked in and saw Tai siting with her. Chiaki was on the center of the couch and he was siting on her left. I took the seat on her right. I carefully drew her to me. Once her mind caught up, and she realized what was happening, I had a lap full of sobbing Chiaki. I just held her close, whispering reassurances in her ear till she calmed. Somewhere in the midddle of that the others had shown up. Leon had replaced Tai on Chiaki's left and Lowell and Flint were on the floor at our feet. Tai and Kari were still in the room, close enough to hear but far enough away that they didn't intrude.

"Was it the same dream?" I knew the time for crying was over and now she need the release that came with sharing.

"Yes and no." Seeing the confusing looks surrounding her, Chiaki recalled the dream, she seemed to be in trance as she spoke, her voice soft and emotionless "It started different. I was on a beach. It was dark, but not night dark, it was more a presence of darkness. Peaceful, the waves lapping on the shore. Even the lighthouse on the cliff seemed to give off darkness not light. Then suddenly it changed. The water, so comforting a presence to me, now had a new malicious resident. I could feel the evil in its aura. The darkness in the air started to solidify according to this knew presence. No longer was it familiar and gentle, the round spores seemed to want to take. The scene began to fall away, and then I was at the train station. The ceiling falling people screaming. I saw the dead bodies, the faces. Then I screamed, and screamed, and screamed until Kari woke me up."

Lowell, Leon, Flint and I wasted no time in pulling Chiaki into a group hug. As I held on tight to her, I looked up and met Kari's scaring eyes. Realization hit me hard. Chiaki had just described the Dark Ocean. Chiaki was dreaming of a place she had never been too, a place that scared Kari to the bone. We all thought Chiaki was over the night terrors, after all she hasn't had one in over a year. But now they resurfaced, with a new beginning that scared me more than the end.

AN: IMPORTANTISH, someone mentioned how I've kinda replaced Shinya with Jun and I felt this was something I should address and since it isn't likely to come up soon, I will explain here along with some other little things, incuding the second part of this chapter. First off, I have given a lot of thought to what happened right after the train station collapsed. For all legal human intents and purposes Zoey, Tommy, JP and all the others died that day. In fact many people did and it was seen as a bombing. They were all assumed dead and their families were able to grieve and move on as best they could. At the age they were perceived to be, and due to the tragedy that had just occurred no one questioned them when they only gave first names. Their parents were assumed to have died that day and they were sent to an orphanage. It was there that 'Davis' befriended one of the older girls, Jun. When a couple that was unable to have children wanted to adopt a boy and girl, they picked Jun and asked her who she wanted for a brother. She picked Davis and they were adopted together. The others were also all eventually adopted and able to stay in contact since all the families lived in the same area until Davis moved away. That is how I figured it in my head anyways.

Also may I say writing in first person is a pain. There is a lot going on that I can't write because I am trying to keep the POV. Also that means this is just one person's persective. This is important when it comes to how characters are portrayed, and that I am trying not to bash.

Thanks to all people who reviewed, your awesome. The same goes to the people who have favorited and alerted my story and myself. I apologize profusely for my tardiness in updating, and the shortness of said update.
