"Did you had to storm out like that?!"

Kosuke kept walking mad without listening to Kiyomi who ran behind the older boy to calm him down. After the small and quick 'fight' with the evil digimon, at least they knew that their partners could evolve.

But after the attack, half of the group woke up, and half were unconscious. Kiyoshi and other two people became really worried and started to discuss about if they should go home or not. Kosuke tried to convince everyone that they should stay, but the blonde boy wouldn't agree with him. That's when the whole fight became louder, and Keisuke ran away, but the green eyed girl followed him to try to calm him down.

By this time, everyone in the group separated in groups like the beginning, or at least that's what the smart girl thought it had happened.

"Kiyomi, why don't you go with the rest? Leave me alone for a moment" Kosuke said, with a more calmed tone, and he stopped walking.

"I'm not going to leave you alone" stated the girl behind him. Why everyone had to fight?, it didn't make any sense, they came here all together, and they should remain that way.

"He didn't mean to-"

"Kiyomi, he wanted for us to go home" he interrupted turning around to face the brown haired girl. She looked at him with a worried frown.

"He wanted for us to be safe, that's all" she said softly.

Her tone of voice was really gentle, and Keisuke certainly couldn't be mad with her for any reason. He was mad with that blonde, he clearly said that the best was for to go home because they weren't prepared to fight this strong digimon. But he knew very well that their parents weren't prepared at all as well, and they did save the digital world and their own world.

The spiked haired boy sighed loudly. "Look, I want for us to be safe, too, Kiyomi. But we can't go home". She looked at him in the eyes and looked down while he kept talking, a knot in her throat was starting to form of the anguish.

"I know we are not in a good place, and I know it's a pressure we have for being digidestined" he smiled at her and put a hand in his chest.

"But believe me… it's going to feel a million times better when this place is filled with light and peace again"

She looked at the boy in front of her, hearing his encouraging words, she nodded while wiping away a few tears forming in the corner of her pretty eyes.

"Okay…" she said softly, while Kosuke gave her a comforting hug.

Aoi sighed loudly as he watched his friends sitting there looking down, sadly. He wasn't in a place to talk, but he hated to see everyone like that.

The honey eyed boy watched as Yuuta put on a few bandages in Haruko, who had being hurt during the attack. Tadashi was with her sister supporting her and taking care of her as well.

His red head friend was talking lively with Hiroki in a corner away from where to be listened. They had worried faces, surely they forming some sort of plan. They got along very well, and watching them together, they looked so familiar, almost like their parents.

"Brains and brown" he smiled to himself while he saw Hana crossing her arms and putting a finger in her chin in thought.

"What are we gonna do? Keisuke and Kiyomi are gone" Nobu broke the silence, with a worried tone.

"We'll find them" Kiyoshi said, looking at everyone as he spoke, like he was some sort of leader.

When they were young, Daisuke and Takeru were always discussing, guess some things never change.

Everyone looked at each other, and Yuki gave the blonde a knowing look. He knew they should find them, but is important to give him some space, too.

The young Takaishi sighed.

"All right… those who want to go and find Kiyomi and Keisuke, say it"

There was silence, and some of them looking at the ground in conflict with their decision. Until someone stepped forward.

"I want to go find them" Aoi said while looking at the older blonde a determined look.

"I want to go, too" Everyone turned their heads to look at Hana.

"You're gonna need help. I won't let you two go alone" Hiroki spoke too, smiling at his two friends.

Yuki smiled and let out a little sigh. He knew they weren't going to keep together for long, but they had their digivices for something. They could find each other any time they were close.

"Alright, Hiroki, Hana and Aoi, good luck" The older boy said to the three friends.

"And what are we going to do? Just sit here?" Haruko stood up putting her hand to her sides pointing out the place. The village of beginnings was completely destroyed. There was only darkness left.

Yuki looked at her and shook his head.

"No, we're not, Haruko, we have to keep moving forward"

He took a second to look at everyone while he talked.

"Unfortunately, we can't fight with that evil digimon just yet. Our partners have to grow stronger"

His salamon looked at him and smiled, which made the brown hair boy smile in return.

"Alright, Yuki, then I want to search for any sign of other digimon. Like leomon, ogremon…" Yuuta said with a serious face.

Yuki nodded in agreement, and soon, the two siblings joined him along with Nobu.

"Take care, guys"

There were two boys left. Kiyoshi and Hikari's son had to stay together, in order to follow and discover where the evil digimon went and figure out the way to destroy him and restore the digital world all together.

Hana was very concentrated in looking at her digivice while walking, hoping that in any moment it would make a sound to indicate that their two lost friends were near them.

Aoi and Hiroki were walking forward the girl, looking around and sometimes yelling Keisuke and Kiyomi's names.

"Nothing…" sighed the red haired girl behind them, and stopped walking.

"We don't know the way they went, Hana. It could take a while" Hiroki explained with a sympathetic smile and shrugging.

Aoi looked at his surroundings. How in the world could they find them?. Hopefully, Kiyomi calmed him down, and they decided to come back, but it would be the same as going in circles. This made the boy pout, there had to be another way.

"Aoi!" his palmon called his attention, and he looked at her with the same questioning eyes as his mother.

"What is it?"

"Maybe if we search from the air, we could see something!" she said with a lively voice.

This made Aoi smile in response. She was right.

"You're right, palmon" he turned to this two friends and told them his partner's idea, which they agreed.

"Tentomon is the only one who can fly in here" Hana said looking at his bug partner.

"I can look around" he said nodding, already beginning to elevate from the ground.

"Are you sure? We could really appreciate that. The faster we find them, the faster we can keep going" She said with a hopeful smile.

"Of course!" After that, tentomon flew away trying to see in the dark between trees and plants, to find their friends.

.

.

A stomach sound from Hiroki made Aoi and Hana look at him, and the brown eyed boy blushed.

"S-sorry… I guess I'm hungry" he said looking away. Hana chuckled.

"Of course you are, after all of that, your body relaxed and began to normalize" she explained with a smile.

"I think I have something in my bag…" Hana began to ruffle in her bag to see If there were something to eat. While palmon and agumon went to find something else.

"You're lucky" she laughed. "Here's a sandwich, you can have it" she handed him a delicious looking sandwich.

He accepted it, still slightly blushing and thanked her. The girl chuckled softly.

The blonde boy's eyes shifted between Hiroki and Hana, looking at them interact. He was now almost sure the bushy haired boy had a crush on the red head. But he remembered the food he had, too, how could he forget the bentos and sandwiches that his mother made for him?. Quickly, he went into his backpack and put out a bento with rice and chicken in there.

"Wow… you're lucky, Aoi. Your mom is an excellent cook" Hana said at his smiling face looking at his food.

"I guess you can say that" he stated while he began to eat.

"We're back!" agumon and palmon appeared with a lot of fruit.

"Woah, guys, that looks delicious! Thank you" the girl said with big expecting eyes.

Tentomon came back too, with no information, which made our three friends a little sad. But their digimon partners didn't let them get very sad and started encouraging them again.

Hana looked at the sky.

"Where are you…" she whispered.

"Haruko, are you sure you're okay? You don't want to rest?"

Yuuta was worried, they've been walking for a while now with no rest and the blonde girl had a bandage in her ankle. Her brother Tadashi was also worried, and Nobu had been beside her at all times.

Haruko had noticed, but she was a strong girl. She sure had learned that from her mother, but as Sora as well, she thought about others more than herself. Especially her younger brother.

"I'm okay, don't worry" she smiled.

But Yuuta decided it was time to rest anyway. He wasn't gonna let her wound get worse, he had to take care of everyone with him. The boy with glasses felt more responsible having two girls and a boy, all younger than him to take care of. Even though Nobu was months younger than him.

"Alright, time to rest. If you're hungry, we can go look for food" piyomon said.

"We can fish, nonetheless" the older girl said pushing up her glasses and smiling. Nobu was right.

Tadashi and patamon began to fish something while the other digimon and Yuuta went to look for food.

Soon, they returned with fruit, and ate fish, too. Tadashi and Nobu fell asleep fast after that.

"Thank you for taking care of me" Haruko begun taking seat near Yuuta, who was throwing little rocks at the cliff.

"No problem" he said, throwing another one.

The blonde smiled warmly at him. "If you need help anytime, tell me. I owe you one" That made the older boy chuckle, and this time he turned to look at her in the face.

"You don't owe me anything, Haruko, seriously. If anyone was hurt, I would've done the same for them" he stated as a matter of fact.

Haruko nodded in understanding. "Alright, anyway, I'm glad you're here with us, Yuuta" she said putting a hand in his shoulder.

"I'm going to have some rest" saying that, she lifted up, tripping a little, and Yuuta hold her by her arm.

"Woah, are you okay there?" he said laughing a little. He knew she was still healing, but there was no reason to be in a bad mood.

"Yeah, I'm just trying to call your attention" she joked, winking and looking at him with piercing, blue eyes. Even in the dark they looked gorgeous. This made Yuuta blush slightly, though. He knew she was joking, but he couldn't deny, that the girl was beautiful. He sighed while he watched the blonde make her way to her two friends and lay down.

Maybe he needed some sleep himself, too.

For some reason, Yuki and Kiyoshi hadn't move one step from where they were. They were both sitting, and Yuki was chatting with his digimon lively.

How could he be like this in this situation?. The blonde looked at him with a winced face, thinking about why they haven't go with the others, or at least do what he had told the rest. To follow the evil digimon and figure a solution to all of this.

"I don't get it" he finally spoke.

The older boy looked him with a questioning look.

"I-I don't understand" he said again, with an incredulous face this time, waiting for an answer.

"We'll wait here, Kiyoshi" Yuki said smiling, like it was the simplest thing in the world.

The blonde lifted his brows in confusion. "What did you say?"

"I think we should wait here for Kosuke and Kiyomi. You don't think they'll come back?" he said, peting salamon in his lap.

Kiyoshi didn't know what to say. He was quiet, and his thoughts were driving him crazy.

"Y-you think they are gonna come back?" he stood up pointing in the direction Keisuke stormed out.

"They will" he said with a groan when he stood up too. "I really think they will. Kiyoshi… why do you insist so much in going back home?" his tone was calm and firm, without being strict.

"Because… Yuki this is not safe. For anyone! We need some kind of help-"

"What do you mean by 'help'?" Yuki frowned his brows, he was now confused, too. He understood why Keisuke got mad and went away, but he didn't understand what Kiyoshi means.

The truth was, the brown eyed boy knew they had to go home. They did need some kind of help like the blonde said, but what was the rush?, the digital world was in full darkness and despair right now.

"I don't know, maybe our parents can say something to us. They were digidestined too-"

"Do you know what that means? Being a digidestined?" he said interrupting him, only to find a speechless Kiyoshi shaking his head.

Yuki smiled sweetly at him and sighed "It means, that if the digital world is in danger, and you are a digidestined, you, Kiyoshi… were chosen to come here and save this world. And maybe your own world. You should already know that, our world and this digital one, are connected"

The blue eyed boy looked at his patamon who was looking at him sadly from the ground.

"Do you think he's real?. Of course he is… and he needs your help, Kiyoshi. Yours, and no one else's. Because you are a digidestined, along with everyone else that were called to come here" Yuki said putting a hand in his shoulder.

Kiyoshi's lip started quivering from his friend's words. It was true, that's what he needed to hear. His next action was embrace patamon who was saying softly his name trying to make him react.

Yuki was about to say something to comfort the blonde, but was interrupted by someone else.

"You understand now?"

Kosuke appeared, with his digivice in his hand sounding. Kiyomi run to Yuki embracing him happily to finally found them.
