Notes: Mostly Kouji and Kouichi-centric

Disclaimer: …I don't own anything that has to do with any seasons of digimon.

Last Time:

Taichi looked thoughtful, "Why don't we take them to Gennai? I'm sure he'll know what to do."

"Hmm…That's actually a good idea."

Taichi grins, "What did I tell ya? I'm smarter then you all take me for!"

"Um…one problem…"

Both Ken and Taichi's attention was turned to Kouji, "Yes?"

Kouji looked away sheepishly, trying to hide the faint tinge of pink that colored his cheeks, "Who is Gennai?"

Chapter 4

"Who is Gennai?" Ken repeated softly, "To tell you the truth…none of us know exactly who or even what he is."

Kouji leaned back against the cool grey stone, his arms crossed, "Then how can you trust him?"

Taichi scratched his head, "We just do. Ever since the beginning he has helped us. First by getting our digivices to us, then the crests and yet again by giving V-mon and Wormmon the ability to evolve to Imperialdramon through the digi-core…"

"I guess we never really questioned who he was before. It didn't seem important." Ken finished, glancing at the new pair, "So are you willing to come? I don't think it's that far from here…"

"It isn't." Wormmon spoke up, shifting in Ken's arms, "He is in the northern part of this area."

Kouji looked down at Anyamon, "What do you think?"

"I don't see any problem with it." The wolf replied softly, "We need to find out why we are here. This guy might know something about it."

The blue eyed teen nods before looking back over at the other Chosen, "We'll go."

A couple hours later found the group at the edge of a large lake. A smallish cozy looking house was built on the shore. Kouji hung back with his brother and watched Taichi knock, well…actually bang on the door. The brunette hollered at the top of his lungs, "Oi! Gennai!"

"You don't have to shout Taichi." Said a young brown-haired man in a white robe as he eased the door open, "What do you need?"

Taichi and Ken, as well as their digimon turn to look at Kouji and Kouichi, "Well…"

Kouji stared back. He did not like the looks they were giving him. The warrior of light fidgeted slightly, raising an eyebrow, "What?"

Gennai followed the Chosen's gazes. A look of relief quickly crosses his face, "Finally! I was wondering when you'd show up."

Kouji stared at the young looking man, "Excuse me?"

"You are the ones that Ophanimon sent correct?"

Kouji glanced at Taichi and Ken before replying hesitantly, "Yes…"

Gennai claps his hands together, "Good. Good. Now come inside. I need to get some things straightened out. You know records and things."

Kouji glanced down at his brother. Kouichi just shrugs, "Why not? He seems to know why we are here."

The warrior of light nods and enters the house, Kouichi followed close behind. Taichi and Agumon entered next, oblivious to Kouji's hesitant answers. Ken however, being the insightful person he was, noticed it right away. The chosen of kindness frowned before shrugging his shoulders and walking in. Wormmon was fast asleep in his arms.

"Sit. Sit." Gennai gestures to the various pieces of furniture in the room. Chairs of all sizes and shapes littered the room, clearly having been made to accommodate the various types of digimon. Kouji, Taichi and Ken all found some relatively human sized chairs. Agumon plopped down on a beanbag, and Kouichi was content on the floor next to his brother. Kouichi yawned, bearing sharp fangs. He was getting used to the beast-type form and it scared him. He was beginning to get comfortable walking around on all fours and seeing things from a lower level was no longer daunting. It frightened him because he still feared the underlying instincts, if he got too comfortable what would stop them from resurfacing without warning?

Gennai cleared his throat and turned to Kouji, seating himself in a large puffy chair near the front of the room, "Now. First things first. You do know that you cannot get home correct?"

Kouji nods, "Yes…"

The white-robed man crosses his arms, "Then you will need a place to stay." He turns to the chosen of kindness, "Ken, your parents signed up for the student exchange program correct?"

Ken was startled; apparently he hadn't been expecting the question, "Y-yes…"

Kouji, guessing where the conversation was going, quickly cut in, "We're fine. We'll just stay in the Digital World. We've done it before."

Gennai shook his head, "Nonsense Minamoto. I'll have you enrolled in the Student Exchange Program and assigned before you can say 'Digivolve'."

The warrior of light shook his head, "No. I do not wish to impose on Ichijouji's family."

Ken cut in, "It's fine Kouji. We're going to get stuck with someone anyway; it might as well be someone who already knows about digimon. That way I won't have to hide Wormmon." Silently he added, 'Besides. I can keep my eye on you.'

Now what was our favorite brunette doing during this time? As we all know Taichi couldn't have lasted that long without saying something. Surprisingly Taichi had remained silent, his eyes half-lidded as if he was bored. Agumon would have raised an eyebrow at that, if he had one, "Taichi?"

No answer. Agumon frowned and poked the brunette. Still no answer; Agumon got up and peered into Taichi's face, what he saw nearly made him face fault. Taichi's breathing was soft, a quiet noise reached Agumon's ears; Taichi was...snoring?

A bead of perspiration formed on the back of Agumon's head, Taichi was sleeping.

Oookay…now back to Gennai, Kouji and Ken.

Kouji crossed his arms stubbornly and leans back in his chair. He did not like imposing on people he hardly knew. He didn't even like imposing on people he did know. One of the reasons Kouji hardly ever asked for anything was because of this fact. He was used to looking out for himself and felt uncomfortable depending on anyone else. Of course his adventure with the other Warriors had changed that slightly. He trusted the others with his life and would do anything for them, but trusting people he had not gone through at least one life or death situation with was a hard task for him.

Kouichi glanced up at his brother's stony face, he shook his head, "Kouji…I know how you feel about things like this. But we came here to help them; wouldn't it be easier to do that if we were with one of them all the time?"

The Warrior of Darkness spoke softly, none other then Kouji could hear the words. Kouji's lips twitched, trust Kouichi to be the logical one. He was right after all. In the events following their arrival Kouji had completely forgotten the reason they were here. They had to stop some sort of evil with the Chosen, only then could they return home. He sighs in defeat, "Fine. I don't like imposing on people but I can see the logic in your decision."

Gennai smiles, "Good. Now to draw up some school records for you."

He pulls out two pieces of paper. One blank and the other all filled in. Kouji blinks at the contents of the filled one and looks at Gennai questioningly. Gennai caught his look and explained, "Ophanimon copied your real records and sent them to me. I must just change a few things." He starts to fill out the blank paper, "Name…Minamoto Kouji…"

"Wait." The Warrior of Light interrupted, "Put down Kimura Kouji."

"Hmm…?" The guardian glanced up, "Why would I…"

Kouji cut him off again, "Just do it."

Gennai shrugs, "Suit yourself. I still don't see why…"

Kouji glanced down at Kouichi. The logic behind his reasoning was that Kouichi would be the one that needed to go to school so the name had to be partially his. It was too late to change the first name; Taichi and Ken would get suspicious if he did. Besides teachers tend to refer to students by their last names, so at least Kouichi would be able to realize when someone was talking to him.

The warrior of darkness realized all this and nodded his thanks. Kouji's lips quirked into a slight smile, but it was gone the minute Gennai announced that he was finished. The white robed guardian whistled softly, a moment later a familiar bird type digimon walked in. Gennai spoke to it softly for a moment before giving it the now completed papers. The bird-digimon took it in its wings and started to walk away. As it passed Kouji he spoke up, "Are you…Swanmon?"

The digimon stops walking, "Yes. Have we met?"

Kouji shook his head, "No. I just thought that you were someone I knew."

Swanmon smiles, "Ah. You are Kouji right?" At his hesitant nod she continues, "Stop by Primary Village sometime. I'd love to talk to you about the other Swanmon. I've never met another of my kind."

Kouji smiles slightly, "Sure."

The bird type digimon smiles back, "See you then."

After Swanmon left Ken spoke, "Who was that? I thought that Elecmon looked after Primary Village?" Ken wondered.

"Hmm..?" Gennai glanced at Ken, "He still does. Swanmon is helping. She is one of the few Champion level digimon that can travel to the real world's internet so she helps out a lot if one of the babies somehow gets in there. That's why I gave the records to her. She's going to slip into the School's Database and put the records there. The weird thing is…Digivolving to a Swanmon should only be possible by using the digimental of love on a Tailmon. It is strange."

Ken falls silent. Gennai continues, "However, a lot of digimon that should only be attainable through the digimentals have been appearing. I fear that something has been affecting the digimentals. Have any of your group had any trouble with them?"

The chosen of kindness shook his head, "No. Not that I've heard. But then again with the digital world so peaceful we haven't needed to use them. Also with the….Dark Spires…destroyed we don't need to armor digivolve. We can go champion."

Gennai sighed, "I guess the answer to this riddle will have to wait for another day. I'll contact you if I find anything relevant." He turned his attention to Kouji, "I'm sorry but our chat about your mission will have to wait for another day. Pressing duty calls. Go with Ken and Taichi, just about now Ken's parents should be receiving notification about the student exchange assignments. I'll contact you when I'll be ready to explain."

Kouji nods silently.

Ken sighs and glances at Taichi, whom Agumon was till trying to wake. He shook his head and walked over to the chosen of courage. He bent over and whispered something in Taichi ear. Taichi awoke with a start and yelled, running out the door as soon as he got to his feet. Agumon looked up at Ken in awe, "How'd you do that?"

Ken shrugged, "I just told him that his mother wanted him to try her new recipes."

Agumon was confused, "I thought he hated those…"

A small smile flicked on Ken's face, "Exactly."

The former Digimon Kaiser walks over to the door, glancing back and Kouji and Kouichi, "Coming?"

Without waiting for an answer Ken left, the twins close behind.

-Border-

Izumi "Izzy" Koushiro sat before his computer, working silently on whatever it was that geniuses work on. It had been many, many, hours since Taichi and Ken had left, and Izzy was getting worried. They were only supposed to be gathering data on the new digimon to be added to Izzy's growing encyclopedia of digimon. Worst case scenarios began playing in his mind, maybe the digimon was a new evil out to take over the world and had deleted them, or at least seriously injure them. Maybe the digimon hadn't enjoyed their presence and had just tried to maim or kill them anyway. Izzy was so caught up in his thoughts that he failed to notice the flashing light that signaled the opening of the Digiport. He let out a startled yell as he felt three heavy objects fall on him, knocking over the chair and sending all of them tumbling to the floor.

The red-head pushes one of the objects off of him and sits up, groaning and massaging his now sore back. Finally the pain dulled and Izzy was able to take in the world around him. Piled a mere couple feet from him was three teenagers. One Izzy recognized right away, Taichi the brown-haired leader of the original digidestined. The other two made Izzy take a double take. One of them was Ken all right, but the other looked like a near carbon copy of the Chosen of kindness. The same blue-black hair, the same blue-grey eyes, the same height; they could have passed as twins except for the fact that the newcomer's hair was shorter and slightly thicker then Ken's. He was dressed in a teal short-sleeved jacket overtop a magenta long-sleeved shirt and beige jeans. He was rubbing his head, apparently having hit it against either the wall of the computer desk; Izzy winced in sympathy, he had done that once or twice. Off to the side of the pile of kids were two digimon, one was the familiar green insect digimon, Wormmon. The other was unfamiliar to the computer genius.

It was a white wolf pup, about the size of an average sized dog. The pure white color of its fur faded to a metallic silver near the paws, tail, and ears. On it' side was a navy blue design, one that was vaguely familiar to Izzy. Around its neck a blue and brown bandanna was tied, its blue-grey eyes (Izzy couldn't help but notice that they were almost the exact same shade as the new kid's eyes) were filled with silent amusement as it regarded the pile of teens.

Izzy turned back to the pile and coughed, "Ahem…"

Taichi was the first to untangle himself, he looked at Izzy sheepishly, "Heh, heh, hi Izzy."

Izzy crossed his arms, "What took you so long? I was worried."

The brunette winced, "Well…you see…"

His reply was cut off by a strangled cry. The two older digidestined turned to see Ken staring at the new kid in disbelief, as if he had never seen him before. The other teen stopped rubbing his head and looked at Ken with confusion written all over his face, "Ken…What?"

Ken just continued to stare, trying to make sure that he wasn't seeing things. "Osamu…" He mumbled to himself, "Oniisan…"(1)

Right after that he promptly fainted, leaving the rest of the confused chosen and digimon to their own thoughts.

-Border-

(1) I just noticed something…If Kouichi had glasses he would look a lot like Osamu…and Kouji looks a bit more like Ken. Osamu was older then Ken; Kouichi is older then Kouji. Kouichi was also on the verge of death while Osamu died. They are a lot alike, ne?

A/N: Well there is the chapter. I know I took a bit longer then usual to get it up but…what can I say…I'm lazy -.-; …Yeah…um…anyway…this chapter is a bit longer then the last, about 2,515 words without the authors note. I hope I kept everyone relatively in character…

Review Responses:

Dark Qiviut: I'm glad you liked it. I thought the cliffhanger was kinda funny as well n.n;

Paili-chan: I know. But I said in Chapter One that I would be ignoring that little fact. But I'm glad you care enough the point it out.

nightdragon0: Well…they actually are but Ken is a bit more insightful then most…

GemmaniGirl: I'm glad you liked it.

Kari Minamoto: I'll try to keep writing Taichi that way then. I must admit he is rather fun to write.

RockFox: Of course I will write more. See? Here's another chapter :)

ultra8: I'm glad you liked it.

AikoNamika: o.o; Erm…I'm glad you like it? I'm not used to people liking my stories that much. Is this really that good? Anyways, I'm not sure. I haven't really thought out whether or not to just search and search for Kouichi's spirit's real rookie and use that…or just make up the digivolutions by myself. I have a bit of time to think about it though, I'm going to have them using Slide Evolution with their spirits for a bit until I need to have them actually follow their evolution lines.

Gemini Star 01: Well this one is a bit longer…n.n;

kou twins fan : Ken was kind of distracted with Agumon at the time, besides he hasn't let it go yet, he is just willing to respect Kouji's right to secrets…for the moment.

OmnicromXR: Yeah…Yeah…I know…But sometimes I find myself typing digidestined just because I'm more used to it due to my over exposure to the dubbed Seasons 1 and 2. I'll try to stick to chosen from now on however.

Syaoran-Lover: I'll try to update at least once a week or so, maybe more if I feel really inclined to write and don't have much homework. But I'm really glad you like it.

Leshyaedawnfire: I updated n.n

Amon-Ra3: I'm glad you liked it.

Whew…that a lot of reviews o.o. I'm glad you all like this story enough to review. And I love the fact that you all tell me what you like about my story. It tells me what I should continue doing. Well. I gotta go now so I'll end this note with one word…

Review! n.n
