A/N: I swear this fic will listen to me one of these days. I hope it does anyway. Anyway, here's an update!

He opens his eyes to darkness and the switch is almost painful. He rubs at them, only to feel Mochimon's hands grip his wrist. "Koushiro-han?"
"Are you all right?"
"Better than I was," he admits, helping Koushiro sit up. "I'm afraid I can't tell where we are…"
Koushiro pauses. The small home is nowhere in sight. Neither are the adults. That isn't comforting. However, there's only one thing to do at a time like this: look around, satisfy his curiosity. It was that or sit here and waste away.
He stands and starts to walk. The direction is random, but so is curiosity. His footsteps are slow and loud compared to Mochimon's hops. He eventually picks his partner up and keeps walking until he sees a spark of light. He shuts his eyes and when he opens them again, he's not alone.
"Koushiro-kun!" Mimi kneels and hugs him. His instincts say to throw her off but he feels her shoulders and chest shaking.
"I'm glad you're all right," Jyou says from over their heads. He sounds tired, like he's fallen and can't find the energy to stand. Koushiro wonders, but doesn't question. Not out loud anyway. "The others?"
"Mochimon and I were alone."
Mimi shivers. He realizes her clothes are drenched. She shivers again, and then Koushiro hears it.
Someone is crying.
Koushiro pulls away from Mimi. Not just because he wants to, but because he knows that voice.
Hikari is somewhere in here.
