Last Time:

"I smell a digimon."

Hikari frowned, "Are you sure it's not one of the others?"

The white cat nodded, her purple tipped ears lying back against her head, "Positive. It's in the park."

The brown-haired girl nods, "Understood. Let's check it out."

Tailmon grabbed a lock of Hikari's hair and used it to steady herself as the girl headed into the park.

Chapter 6

Kouji dashed past the startled pedestrians, his small form allowing him to weave his way through the mass of people. Like a white bullet he just kept moving forward, not daring to look back even though his brother's cries had vanished beforehand. In the chain link fence surrounding the park was a small opening, too small for a person but large enough that a canine could slip through. Kouji quickly changed direction, claws tapping on the concrete as he slid to a near standstill before taking off again. He wriggled through the hole and, somewhere deep inside of him, he reveled in the feel of the grass beneath him and the foliage around him. The warrior of light no longer felt vulnerable, feeling more at home in the lightly forested park than he had in the streets of the city or even the apartment building.

If Kouji were in his right mind he probably would have realized that he was being influenced by Akemon, but as stated before; he wasn't. Kouji had nothing in his mind at the moment save for those two words echoing over and over. The two words that always, when said by someone else, drove him to either lash out or run away. If he was still capable of rational thought he would have realized he was acting very foolish, running off and leaving his brother alone with strangers in a strange world and would have turned around and gone straight back to Kouichi.

Kouji felt his bandana snag on the branch of a bush, halting his desperate flight. A low whine rumbled in his throat as he tugged against the restraining cloth; the knot was unyielding however. Having his run stopped he began to calm down, sinking his teeth into the bandanna he tried to the free himself, but to no avail.

"Hikari! Over here!"

Kouji froze like a deer in the headlights at the feminine sounding voice so close to his position. Raising his nose slightly he sniffed the air, trying to asses the presence. It was not human…His acute ears caught the sound of padded footfalls and a soft clink of metal. His thoughts still muddled from the mad dash from the apartment building he did the only thing he could think of; he laid his ears against his skull and growled.

A low growl erupted from the bushes at Tailmon's right, startling the feline. She jumps backwards, whirling to face the trembling foliage. Narrowing sky-blue eyes she hisses, "Hikari, stay back."

The brown-haired human behind didn't acknowledge the digimon, instead she kneeled down in the dirt and gently parted the branches. Trapped within the leafy cage was one of the most beautiful pup Hikari had ever seen. The light from the setting sun shown through the opening, playing across the canine's silvery tinted fur. Frightened blue eyes stared up at the chosen of light as the pup shrank back in to the leaves.

Tailmon moved to stand in front of Hikari, "'kari…"

"Tailmon…shush." Hikari held out her hand to the canine digimon, palm upwards.

The canine stared suspiciously at the offered hand, glancing up warily at the brunette's face as the growl died in his throat, "Who're you?"

"Hikari. Yagami Hikari." The chosen of light replies softly.

"Yagami…" The canine repeats, the feral glint fading from his eyes and being replaced by cool intelligence, "Yagami…Taichi?"

"Taichi is my brother."

"Brother…oh no…!" Suddenly a worried look enters the pup's ocean blue eyes and he begins tugging on his caught bandana, "I have to get to him!"

Tailmon watches in awe as Hikari attempted to calm the digimon, "Whoa! Calm down! Who do you have to get to!"

"Kou-ji! He's with Taichi. I left him…" The digimon grabbed the bandana in his teeth and yanked hard.

Hikari placed one hand on the canine's head, forcing him to look at her, "Stop moving, I'll get you out of there."

Keeping one hand on the side of the canine's head she uses the other to undo the knot on the bandana. The piece of cloth comes loose and the canine bolts, only to be cut off by Tailmon. The white feline bars his path, "Wait. If Kouji is with Taichi, all Hikari has to do to find him is to call her brother."

"Good idea Tailmon." Hikari pulls out her cell-phone and punches in her brother's number. After a few rings, "Taichi? It's Hikari…Yeah we all got back okay…No …Yes…For goodness sakes nii-san! Nothing happened!...Um…do you by any chance know someone named Kouji?"

Kouichi glanced at Taichi as the cell phone rang. The brunette looks sheepish before answering it, "Moshi, Moshi?"

Kouichi took a moment to catch his breath from all the running as well as trying to keep the worried expression off his face.

"Hey Hikari! So you got back?...That's good. Did anything go wrong?...You sure?...Positive?"

"For goodness sakes nii-san!"

At this point Taichi winced due to the yell that even Kouichi could hear. The Warrior of Darkness would have laughed if he weren't so worried about his brother.

"So what do ya' want?...How do you know about Kouji?"

At this point Kouichi began to pay attention to Taichi's words.

"WHAT? Stay there 'Kari. We'll be right over. We aren't far from there."

Taichi hung up the phone and turned to Kouichi, "That was my sister. She's found Akemon, or a digimon matching his description."

"Where?"

"The park. Let's go."

Hikari hung up the phone, "Taichi is with your partner. They're coming here now."

The canine digimon nods, looking toward the entrance frantically. Hikari picks up the fallen bandana from the ground and ties it loosly around the silver pup's neck, commenting absently, "Your fur is really silky you know that?"

He nods absently, not paying any attention to the chosen of a light. A call from the gate caught all both digimon and the human's attentions. Akemon gave a happy yip and struggled out of Hikari's hold, bounding toward the teen who ran into the park. Hikari had to take a double take. The other teen looked to be about her age, maybe a little older, and looked a lot like Ichijouji Ken at first glance. She noticed her brother arrive soon after, leaning against the fence post and smiling softly. He spots her and waves. Hikari returns the smile and picks up Tailmon before crossing the park towards Taichi.

Kouichi kneeled down and spread his arms as his brother shot into them. He tightened the embrace, repeating the comfort that Kouji had provided in the digital world. He could hear his brother's whispered words, "I'm sorry Kouichi…sorry…don't hate me nii-san…"

"Ssshhh" Kouichi whispers, mimicking Kouji's earlier movements and running a hand through his brother's fur, "I don't hate you. I should've guessed you would react like that. Why would I hate you?"

"For leaving." Kouji murmurs, "You hate being alone."

"But I'm not alone Kouji."

A/N: -peeks out from a bomb shelter- Erm…hi? Erm…will you believe me if I told you that the reason I was late was due to studying for finals? –a collective 'NO!' resounds from everywhere- Ack! But it's true! Partially anyway…the last two weeks have been due to that…everything else was due to a huge writers block…By now you all should know that my imagination is a fickle thing right? –looks around uneasily- Right?...Anyways it comes and goes…always jumping from one topic to another…………
