Yo yo! Miss-Stoneflower is in the site!......never mind.

Chapter 5! yay! Nearly finished. I suppose I'm going to be doing yet another six chapters. I don't know why, especially since I believe that 6 is an unlucky number.

Well, on with the show...er....story!

Disclaimer: I do not own any Digimon apart from my own personal characters: Cloud, Aiaka, Henry and Victor.

"Tai and the others have found one of the two Digidestined." Kari said. The younger Digidestined were sitting under an oak tree at the park, Kari emailing her brother. Joe was at home studying, and Mimi was at her hotel getting some beauty sleep.
"That's good progress." Ken said.
"And it's a boy." Kari added. "They also got in contact with that Henry guy Cloud told us about and....oh, my, gosh."
"What is it?" Yolei asked, leaning in to read the email. "Holy two bean salad!"

"What?" Davis yelped. "Let me read!"
"No!" Kari batted him away. "It's private. I shouldn't have let Yolei read it."
"I'm a girl." Yolei protested. "I gettit."
"Uh-huh."
"It's true!"
"Oh, and T.K." Kari said. The blonde boy looked at her intently. "Tai says to keep your hands off me while he's away."

T.K blushed, and Kari went a little bit red as well.
"It says nothing about me." Davis whispered to DemiVeemon, but just a little too loudly.

"He also reminds you, Davis, that I'm not that interested in you and that you should try chasing after someone else. He suggests Cloud."
"But she's insane!" Davis whined.
"Perfect for you, then." Cody said.

"You definitely walked into that one." Gatomon said as she and Patamon cracked up laughing.

"They have been with Cloud for a week." Wormmon pointed out. "They probably know her best."
"Whatever." Davis grumbled, still annoyed at Kari for not telling him what Yolei had been allowed to see.
"Tai says to meet them in the Digiworld at three o'clock at Primary Village so we can meet the new Digi and maybe figure out what crest he'd have. And also to help him find his partner."

"It's 2:40 now." Cody said, looking at his D-3 for the time. "We should head over there now. We'll have to walk to the village, right?"

"Yo! Over here!" Davis shouted to the group over on the other side of the hill. They caught up in the middle of the Digiegg field in Primary Village.

"This is Henry, and Victor." Cloud introduced the boys when they had all greeted each other.

"This is T.K, Davis, Ken, Yolei, Cody and Kari. Kari's Tai's sister." Cloud introduced the remaining Digi's. "And this is Joe, the oldest. And that's Mimi, who lives in America."

"Shouldn't you all be at school?" Joe asked.

"Ai's covering for us." Tai said. Kari and Yolei giggled. Tai shot them a warning glance
"We'll be alright." Matt said.
"It's only me and Vicky." Henry said. Yolei and Kari kept giggling. "If we're caught wagging, we're screwed!"

"I'm okay because mum's on the Board of Trustees." Cloud said. "But we're still lucky that we have someone who isn't a Digidestined that can cover for us."

"Let's find that Digiegg." Ken said. "It's gotta be around here somewhere."
After a few minutes of searching, Victor gained some courage.
"So...where is that crest thing you promised me?"
Everyone groaned.

"We don't have it." Sora said. "An evil Digimon has it."
"Why?"
"Someone stole all of the crests when they were created." T.K explained. "We all had to find them. But we lost them again. We don't mind. We still have them in our hearts."
"I got mine a few months ago, but I had to give it up as well." Ken said.
"Basically, once we master the crest, we give them up." Mimi said. "Mine's sincerity. And now I'm always sincere."
"Will I have to give mine up?" Victor asked.

"Well, if you want to keep it, depending on which one it is, don't master it. Of course, that means your partner will find it hard to digivolve into his ultimate form."

Victor looked confused, but decided to stop asking questions. Then he just had to ask.

"What crests are there?"
"The ones we know of are Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Reliability, Sincerity, Hope, Light and Kindness." Kari said. "I've got Light."

"Mine's Hope." T.K said.

"Kindness." Ken said.

"Reliability." Joe said.

"Knowledge." "Izzy said.

"Mine's Love." Sora said.

"My one's Friendship." Matt said.
"And I've got Courage." Tai finished. "Though, I had heard of some others before Gennai told us about you and the other Digi."

"Of course, the ones they hadn't had time to make." Izzy said. "I remember that story. And Gennai finished them in secret, and hid them away where he thought no one could find them. But when Piedmon..."

Tai winced.

"When Piedmon was ravaging the Digiworld four Earth years ago, he found them." Izzy finished.

"When Gennai told us about the crests we went and found Piedmon's old hideout." T.K said. "But they were gone."
"We've forgotten about them all this time, thinking that since we haven't met anyone who fit the description, they weren't going to show up. But now..." Izzy trailed off.
"What were they?" Henry asked, also getting into the story.

"One was...." Izzy strained to think. The other original Digidestined thought hard as well.
"I know one was Protection." Sora said. "Because it was unusual, because it's not normally a trait. It's normally a thing."

"And the other one was Selfless." Joe said. Henry glanced at Victor, who was looking away.

"I think we've found the perfect guy for Selfless." Cloud said, clapping Victor on the back. "Aiaka's always going on about how Vicky is soooo up himself!"

Victor went red. "Yeah, whatever."

They continued searching through the fields when they came to a building.

"Is that a nursery?" Henry asked. The others shrugged.

"Victor!"

Victor looked around, and saw a small robotic Digimon tottering towards him.

"What is that?" Victor asked.

"A Digimon, obviously." Yolei said.

"His name's Kotemon," Izzy said, checking his Digimon Analyzer.
"He looks like a kote." Cody muttered.
"No kidding." Kari said, hearing the small boy.
"That's me!!" Kotemon exclaimed. "And I'm your partner for life!"
"I don't need a partner." Victor said. Cloud grabbed Victor's hair and pulled it.
"You do!" she shouted. "Unless you want to be murdered on your way back from soccer every night, you will keep Kotemon with you!"
"Ma'am, yes ma'am." Victor said. Cloud let go, and Victor sat down with Kotemon.
"That's settled." Davis said. He looked at Cloud, then covered his hair. "Don't hurt me."
Cloud giggled. "Don't worry, I won't. I was only doing that in place of Aiaka anyway."

"Why is she mean to Victor?" Sora asked. Cloud sighed.

"Massive crush." she said. "Well, it was massive all last year. She's stopped talking about him now, though. And only in the past day or so. It's amazing."
"Ever since we found out he was Digidestined." Matt said.
"Well, I wouldn't know." Cloud said. "I haven't talked to her since yesterday at school."

Everyone looked at her, even all the Digimon and Victor.

"Then how is she covering for us?" Izzy asked.

"She said yesterday she would." Cloud said.

"You didn't check?" Henry asked, staring. "She could be sick!"
"She would've emailed me." Cloud protested.
"Is this meeting cut short?" Davis asked.
"You just don't want to miss on seeing Cloud." Cody said. Davis went red and glared at the nine year old. Cloud just laughed. She ruffled Davis's hair.
"Don't touch the hair!" Davis shouted.

"We gotta get back, before we get a detention." Victor said.

"Do I get to go to Earth?" Kotemon asked. Victor smiled.

"I guess." he said.

"Henry Jonson."

"He hasn't been here all day." Carmelita said. "Neither has Victor or Aiaka."

"Sorry we're late!" Henry and Victor said in unison as they came through the door to their science class. They went in with Tai, who also apologized.
"We were in the ESOL room." Henry explained. "Doing some extra work."

"Is Aiaka with you?" Mia asked. Henry, Victor and Tai all glanced at each other. They shook their heads.

After school, the Digi's all met up.
"No sign of her." Sora said. "Should we go to her place?"

"No," Cloud said, coming up to the group. "No one ever goes to my uncle's place. It's forbidden. I've only ever been there twice. My mum doesn't go there, at all. We can't go there. Besides, Aiaka only eats dinner and sleeps there. She's always gone to the library. Even when she's sick. But she was fine last night before she had dinner. She said. She stopped IMing me when she said she wanted to go for a walk."
"You mention this now?" Tai asked. Cloud shrugged.
"Look, I doubt anything happened to her. Aiaka did Judo for, like, six years. She can fend off any mugger or rapist. And I doubt that the Digimon went for her. She isn't a Digi."
"But...I never asked her." Sora said.
"Neither." Matt said.

"I thought Tai did." Izzy said, looking at Tai. Tai bit his lip.
"I....didn't. She told me when we first met that she wasn't one."
"I got my digivice yesterday." Victor piped up. "But I got that D-Terminal thing two weeks ago."

Tai, Sora, Matt and Izzy exchanged glances.
"That means," Sora trailed off.

"She could be a Digidestined." Matt said.
"So whoever's been trying to get us..." Izzy bit the inside of his mouth.
"Has Ai." Tai finished.

"Where do we look?" Henry asked.

"Are there any important buildings around here?" Izzy asked.
"Only the CSB building." Cloud said. "But that's got people all in it."
"And the Council." Victor added. "But you have to be personally invited to get into that."
"If it's who I think it is...." Izzy said, taking out his laptop. "We have to fly."

I had actually forgotten that Aiaka had been kidnapped in the previous chapter. I knew that revising it was a good idea. I had actually been looking for something to do with Victor, but that was good!

I hope you enjoyed.

R&R please!
