Genre: General

Timeline: Frontier-AU after Lucemon's defeat. 02- AU after the Holy Stones Arc. Oikawa and the Dark Seeds never happened ;)

Notes: Mostly Kouichi-centric in this chapter with a little Ken thrown in the latter part.

Disclaimer: I don't own any seasons of digimon…though now that I think about it…Anyamon and Akemon are mine :P Well…their descriptions are at least. I also don't own the paragraph on tropical cyclones. That was paraphrased from one of the various reference sites on the web; I can't remember which. I put it in there as a sort of little tribute to Katrina…

"Kimura!"

Kouichi's head jerked around, meeting the eyes of the teacher. He flushed and looked at the desk, mumbling an incoherent reply.

The teacher shook her head, "I know it's your first day…but please try and pay attention!"

"But…I already learned this…sensei…" Koichi replied haltingly, refusing to meet the teacher's eyes. Truth is, he had been thinking about Kouji. The Warrior of Light was in the computer room with the rest of the Chosen's digimon, but Kouichi just kept imagining that something would happen. Usually ranging from a fight between the digimon to being caught by the janitor.

The teacher raised an eyebrow, clearly expressing that she didn't believe him in the slightest, "Really Kimura? In that case explain to me exactly what a typhoon is."

"A Typhoon, also known as a hurricane to the western countries, is a severe tropical cyclone originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains. Structurally, a tropical cyclone is a large, rotating area of clouds, wind and thunderstorm activity. The ingredients for a tropical cyclone include warm tropical oceans, moisture, and relatively light winds. If the right conditions persist long enough, they can combine to produce violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains and floods. When a tropical cyclone passes over land, its strength will diminish." Kouichi rattled off, glad for the fact that he had passed Meteorology the year before. In fact, he hadn't been lying about having known the material before-hand; he was a year above most of the students in his grade.

The teacher was genuinely surprised at the almost automated response from the exchange student. Glancing down at a student's textbook she saw that the definition in the book was completely different from the one that Kimura had given, so she grudgingly admitted that the kid knew his stuff, "Good answer. But that doesn't mean you can doze off in class."

"Understood, sensei…"

The teacher returned to the lesson, trying to ignore the snickering from some of the bolder students in the class. Kouichi just dozed off again, though he did make an effort to seem interested. Apparently it worked, the teacher didn't pick at him for the rest of the class. The minutes flew by, the school bell's violent clang alerting the bluish-black haired teen to the departure of the class. Sighing in relief he vacated his seat, gathering his books together and making a move to leave; but the teacher stopped him, "Kimura, come her for a moment."

"Sure sensei."

The teacher looked up from her computer at his approach, she had been working it at for the last five minutes of the class. She pushes her glasses farther up onto the bridge of her nose and clears her throat, "I have re-checked your records, and it does state that you were supposed to be in Chemistry. Unfortunately all of our higher level classes are full. Since you have done the material before I will excuse you from the participation in the lesson. You must still remain in your seat during class and keep your grades up however."

Kouichi nods absently, his shoulder length hair bobbing with the motion, "Yes, sensei."

"Good. You are dismissed."

Kouichi ducks out of the classroom, stuffing his books in his bag and making a beeline for the computer lab. Upon opening the door he comes face to face with Hikari. "Hello." She greets him happily, "Everyone else will be here shortly."

The Warrior of Darkness nods again(he seems to be doing that a lot lately, ne?), snatching an empty seat and settling in it. A small scuffle alerted him to the arrival of his brother. Kouichi looked down to meet Kouji's pleading eyes, his expression clearly saying, 'Hide me!'

The elder brother picked him up, settling the pup on his lap, "What has you so unnerved?"

Kouji looks pointedly the way he came, only to see a blue blur streak out from under the shelf. The blur seemed to be a very hyper blue dino-type digimon, although it looked more like a dragon then a dino. The digimon bounced onto Kouichi's lap, large expressive eyes staring up at the boy, "Are you Akemon's partner? What's your name? Where are you from? Why is he so quiet? And I thought Hawkmon was quiet, but he takes the cake! He didn't even introduce himself! Tailmon told me!"

Fourtunetly, Kouichi was saved from answering as Hikari scooped up the little digimon, "Sorry about him."

"Aw! Hikari, he hasn't answered my questions!"

"He might, if you would stop talking long enough for him to answer." Tailmon replied dryly, leaping gracefully from the rafters of the room to land lightly on the computer desk, "Besides, it is more polite for you to introduce yourself first."

"Sure thing Tailmon! Anything for you!" The blue dragon grinned at her before transferring his attention back to the Warrior of Darkness, "I'm Chibimon!"

Kouichi smiles weakly, feeling slightly dizzy from Chibimon's antics. He just wasn't used to dealing with hyperactive digimon. Even Takuya wasn't this bad unless he was loaded up on sugar, "I'm…Kouji."

"Nice to meet ya!" He glanced up at Hikari, "Can you put me down now?"

"Only if you promise to behave."

"Fine…" The brown-haired girl gently sat the blue digimon on the floor, where he raced back under the shelf.

"Sorry about him. Chibimon is rather excitable." Hikari offered in explanation, "At least he isn't quite as bad when Veemon."

Kouichi could only nod, the movement exaggerated when he ducked his head to avoid something whizzing overhead, "'Kaaaaarrriiii!"

Hikari made an 'Oomph' sound as the orange blur collided with her, forcing her back a couple inches. She wrapped her arms around the digimon, it's wing-like ears fluttering with the motion, "Is TK here yet? Where is Takeru?"

"He'll be here in a minute." She said soothingly, "But I'd like you to meet Kouji. Kouji, this is-"

"Patamon!" Both Kouichi and Kouji exclaimed at once, recognizing the digimon that looked so much like the 'son' of their former traveling companion, Bokomon. Patamon tilted his head, "Have we met?"

Kouichi shook his head, "No. It's just that we knew a Patamon." Now that he thought about it, Kouichi noticed that this Patamon didn't have one of those enormous pink things on it. The only Patamon he had met before was Bokomon's Patamon, so for all he knew it was something all Patamon had. But apparently it had only been worn in honor of his 'mama-papamon'.

Kouji nodded in verification, his thoughts following along the same lines as his brother. At Patamon's questioning gaze Kouji introduced 'himself', "I'm Akemon."

"That's no fair! You spoke to him but not to me?" Chibimon shouted from under the shelf, poking his head out. The dragon digimon's glare directed at Patamon would've scared anyone stiff, if he hadn't been so small and cute that is. Patamon returned the glare with equal intensity, Kouji deduced that the two were rivals over something, but over what he couldn't tell.

"Oh cut it out you two." Tailmon cuts in, flicking her tail irritably, "You are acting like babies."

"Yes Tailmon!" They both chorused at the same time, only to glare at each other afterwards. Kouji sighed, apparently he found what they were rivals for…

"They are worse then you and Takuya…" Kouichi murmured to his brother. Kouji felt inclined to agree, the only time he and Takuya had ever really fought was almost literally a life-or death situation. In the end, Takuya won and things had gone wrong. Izumi, Tomoki, and Junpei had been captured. Kouji himself getting badly injured by Duskmon(Who we all know is the corrupted version of the Spirits of Darkness). To top it off, Takuya ended up vanishing to who knows where (He never spoke of the time with anyone; despite their questions.) only to show up at the last moment and save everyone.

"Takeru!" Patamon exclaimed leaping out of Hikari's arms as the door to the computer lab opened. His wings beat the air rabidly as he propelled himself toward the person. The boy laughed, catching the digimon in his arms, "Patamon! How was your day?"

"Great!" The winged digimon chirped happily, "There was no class today, so we didn't have to hide the entire time." Catching Takeru's look he added, "But we were careful!"

"Mm-hm." Takeru replied skeptically before addressing Chibimon, "Daisuke and the others should be along shortly. Ken also said to go ahead, he'd meet us in the Digital World."

He then noticed that he, Hikari, and the digimon weren't alone in the room, "Ah, you must the new Chosen 'Kari was talking about. I am Takaishi Takeru and Patamon is my partner."

Kouichi studied Takeru for a moment. He was about Hikari's height, with messy gold hair beneath a sand colored cap. His blue eyes were a little bit more rounded then Kouichi's own eyes, which were slightly angulated. Takeru wore a blue and yellow long-sleeved shirt and green shorts. The Warrior of Darkness smiled, "Kimura Kouji and my…partner Akemon."

Kouji absently nodded, wondering why anyone would wear such bright colors. In the digital world it would be like painting a sign, 'Look at me! I'm here!' Not a very good idea unless you are looking for a fight, and Takeru didn't seem to be the type to do that. A little naïve yes…But reckless? No.

Soon the door slid open again and three more persons entered. The leader was a boy who reminded the twins of Takuya, right down to the goggles on his head. He had messy dark brown hair and dark brown, bordering on black eyes. He had a dark blue shirt and a brown vest over top. Next to him was a girl, slightly taller then the boy. She had light purple hair, which fell in a cascade down to her middle back. Large round glasses rested over top her brown eyes. She wore a nondescript purple shirt and an orange skirt that came down to her knees. She reminded Kouji of Izumi, but not so much at the first resembled Takuya. Behind those two was a smaller boy. He appeared to be a couple years younger with a short, neat, chocolate brown hair. His face held a serious expression, one that you don't see very often on the face of younger children. His eyes were green, the first color other then blue or brown that either of the twins have seen. After the door closed behind them Chibimon ran out from under the shelf, jumping up and down

"Daisuke! Are we going? Huh? Are we, are we, are we!"

The oldest boy laughed loudly, "Of course Chibimon! We'll leave as soon as everyone's ready!"

"Yay!"

Takeru turned to Kouichi as Hikari went to explain Kouichi's presence to the newest three, "This is the rest of our team. The one with the goggles is Daisuke Motomiya. The girl is Inoue Miyako, her partner is Poromon…I think he's around here somewhere…"

Takeru glanced around, before spotting a round pink something up on top of one of the shelves, "That's Poromon up there."

The pink digimon was really just a ball of pink with wings, a beak, eyes, and a small feather on it's back. The digimon bounced off the shelf towards Miyako. She scooped it up before waving at Kouichi in greeting. Takeru then spottted a small round ball of yellow fur, with feathery-like extrusions from each side of it's face bouncing towards the last boy, "That is Hida Iori and his partner Upamon."

Kouji watched the ease and familiarity between human and digimon, feeling a little excluded from the group. Not that it really bothered him, he was used to these feelings, feeling them more often then he wanted to. But then he felt the feathery touch of fingers running through his fur (he still wasn't quite used to having fur…he'd never been in his beast form for this long of a time period), closing his eyes he leaned into his brother's touch. Even if he felt isolated, at least he still had Kouichi.

Now the newly arrived Chosen gathered around Kouichi and pleasantries were exchanged as everyone was formerly introduced; Kouji paid no attention to the conversation, dozing off. He was brought back to reality by whispered words, "Wake up otouto…"

"Sure Aniki." He answered equally as quietly, rising to all fours and jumping up off Kouichi's lap. The Elder twin stood up, moving to join the others near the computer. All of the other chosen pulled out their digivices and Kouichi hesitantly pulls out his own, noticing that it looked different in comparison to the others. The shape was similar, but the design was wrong. Daisuke glanced at it, then took a double take, "Hey, your digivice is different. It's also black. I thought Ken was the one with black."

The others glance at it curiously but Takeru shook his head impatiently and pointed his digivice at the computer screen, so everyone follows suit, "Digital Gate, Open!"

Ken leaned against a tree, waiting for the other chosen to arrive. The meeting point was a lush forest near where Daisuke had first met Veemon. The forest had changed so much since, the leaves were greener, the inhabitants more friendly, and the overall atmosphere was more inviting. Ken closed his eyes, despite having defeated BlackWarGreymon there was still danger in the digital world. Even this forest was not untouched, giant bug digimon freely roamed the place and wouldn't hesitate to attack even the Chosen…

A loud thump caught Ken's attention, his and Wormmon's heads turning to see the rest of the chosen materialize in front of the small television set that acted as a gate between the worlds. All the digimon were clustered around Anyamon, Veemon was poking the wolf in the side, "Wow Akemon! You got big!"

Armadimon yawned, "So? I'm larger as Ankylomon."

"Yes, but Ankylomon is a champion. Akemon's current form should be Rookie since he changed form in the Human World." Hawkmon interjected.

"I'm Anyamon now…" The black colored canine added softly.

"Anyamon then." Hawkmon amended.

Ken glanced at the chosen, finding Daisuke standing over Kimura. The goggle-head had a look of bewilderment, "Wasn't your digivice all black?"

"What are you talking about Daisuke?" Ken asked, walking over.

"Oh hey Ken. It's just that earlier Kouji's digivice was all black. Now it's black and blue."

"It was black and blue yesterday Daisuke. You must have been mistaken."

"Nu'uh! I saw it with my own eyes! Wasn't it black guys?"

The chosen that had gotten a glimpse of Kimura's digivice nodded, but Ken shook his head, "It can't be. Mine is black. There can't be more then one of the same color combination."

Daisuke huffed when the other half of the group(which included Hikari and Takeru) agreed with Ken, "Fine! Take his side!"

Daisuke pouted throughout the rest of their little journey through the forest, shooting dark glares at Takeru and Kimura but all in all progress was good. The group was just short of their destination, a digimon village that had been being menaced by bandits, when Kimura suddenly stopped. Miyako noticed and glanced back, "What is wrong?"

"Something is coming."

"Probably a passing digimon. Nothing to worry about."

Kimura shook his head, "No."

True to his word a huge shadow was cast over the clear meadow between them and the village, one that they had seen before. Miyako recognized the shape and shouted at the others, "It's Snimon again!"

"Get ready to digivolve!"

"Right!"

"WAIT!" Daisuke shouted, everyone looked at him, "Let the newbie fight. We should know his partner's strength before we actually need it."

Kimura shrugged, "Fine. Anyamon?"

"On it, Kouji."

A/N: Em…Sorry if it's not up to your expectations…But it's longer then usual! It's 8 pages instead of 4 n.n; Eh…I think I didn't do Daisuke's character justice…but I don't know how to fix it…

Now that my vacation is over, Otakon is over (Was so much fun!) , and school has started…I think I might be able to write more. For some reason I find it easier to write in school…'tis probably because I'm not tempted to start reading other fanfics like I am at home…ah well. I can't reply to any reviews because my friend said it was against the rules… I don't want this story to get deleted… I'll try to answer the questions or things that I feel I should comment on.

Let's see…OmnicromXR I'll try and tone down on the Japanese…but I'm sticking with the titles like nii-san, Aniki, Otouto, and sensei. It just sounds better in my opinion. Gemini Star01, I can't answer most of your questions, you'll just have to wait and see. As to the digivice thing, they each have their own but when one is a digimon the digivice goes wherever it goes when the spirit evolve. I've noticed that the digivice disappears somewhere when in Beast Form. But I can tell you that the action is approaching! Though I warn you that I'm not very good at fight scenes.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed, I really appreciate it. I'm sorry for being so inconsistent with my updates…it's just…that sometimes I…just can't seem to write…
