The night went by so fast, all she could do was talk to her parents about everything. They were ecstatic to finally have their daughter home, after all of these years without her everything felt normal for once. It was like nothing had change over time, Yoshino would tease Hanabi for her crush on Takeru and Hanabi would get mad but blushing madly. Yoshino would try and help her mother cook dinner but failed miserably, they played games and talked about everything that she had missed out on. Yoshino was just glad that she was back home with her family.
Yoshino, Hanabi, Coronamon, Lunamon, Spadamon and Kudamon were all at the dinning table eating breakfast and watching tv. The news was report about the attack at Haneda Airport and the creatures that were there.
"Yesterday's unidentified creatures... caused major damage in Odaiba and at Haneda Airport. Although miraculously there was no reports of anyone being seriously injured, all Haneda Airport flights were suspended and transportation was serious affected. Action needs to be taken as quickly as possible. This same creature has appeared a few times in the past. Each time it's caused serious damage. Yesterday's outburst of several monsters all at once created even more damage, and severed as a reminder of their menace and destructive power. Here's some public reactions."
Before they could get to the witness Yoshino turned off the tv, she had heard enough of it. "They're treating them like they're the enemy, we saved countless of lives and this how they treat us."
"Yoshino, they're afraid." Hanabi stated.
"Of what digimon trying to save are world, they should be grateful." Yoshino huffed out and grabbed her backpack.
"Yoshino, you must understand these creatures can cause some serious damage." her mother said.
"You too. If Agumon and Taichi didn't step in do you realize how much worse it could have been."
"And do you realize me and your father lost you to these monsters."
"I had to do what was right, and if that meant killing myself to save anyone. You bet my ass I would do it again. I'm going to be late for school." Yoshino said grabbing her jacket walking out of the apartment slamming the door behind her.
"Mom, she didn't mean that. It's just Yoshino is very passionate about the digital world, we don't know what happen to her these past couple of years. I'n gonna go to school, see you later." Hanabi said tying her green hair into two pigtails.
Yoshino was in the main office getting her papers for her classes. Once she got the papers, she walked out of the office going towards her locker, she notice Sora, Yamato, Koushiro and Taichi all talking about something. She didn't want to intervene, so she just walked by them going to her locker and unlocking it putting some of her books inside.
"Yoshino?" someone said and she turned around seeing Koushiro walking towards her.
"Hey." she smiled at him.
"Why are you in school?"
"I need an education, plus I'm in your class. Now I can tease you about your little crush on Mimi." Yoshino smiled at him. Koushiro blushed a lot and grabbed Yoshino's hand walking over towards the others.
"Mr. Nishjima is not here today." Taichi informed his friends.
"We have so many more questions for him." Sora said.
"Maybe he was called in for yesterday, I mean it's all over the news." Yoshino said.
"Excuse us." Two girls said in unison.
Koushiro turned around and said, "Mimi-san?"
"How come you're here?" Yamato asked.
"What? Didn't I tell you? I'm enrolling in 1st year as of today. Same class as you, Koushiro-kun." Mimi said.
"Kun?" Yoshino whispered to her best friend resulting in her getting elbowed. Then a girl with black hair and glasses sneezed. She looked at the others getting embarrassed and running away from them.
"Your friend?" Sora asked Mimi.
"No, she recently transferred here, too. In 2nd year. Maybe she'll be in your class, Sora-san." Mimi told her.
"Really?" Sora asked. Then all of a sudden the bell rang.
"Can you escort me to class, Koushiro-kun?" Mimi asked him resulting in Koushiro to blush.
"Yes, sure. Of course." Koushiro agreed.
"Yeah you can escort us both" Yoshino said linking her arm with Koushiro. "See you all later."
"See you, Mimi and Yoshino-chan." Sora said but Yoshino let go of Koushiro.
"Good luck with those two and you still haven't told me what's going on with you three. Wait a minute Taichi and Yamato both like you. Aw that's so cute." Yoshino cheered like a little fangirl. All three of the teenagers started to blush in embarrassment, "It is true, a lot has changed now, To bad I can't tease you three because I have to get to class."
A boy around Yoshino age or older offered to walk her to class. "No, I'll take her." Taichi stated pulling Yoshino away from the boy.
"You have to get to class, I don't want you to be late because of me plus I need new friends anyways. It might also be a bonus that he's cute but don't worry no one can replace you." Yoshino said and pinched his cheek at the last part teasing him. "Let's go." she grabbed the guys arm walking away with him. Yamato was holding Taichi back from running after the guy and Yoshino.
Yoshino walked into the girls bathroom looking in the mirror, she wasn't feeling so good today. But she had to brush it off, of course she was nervous it was her first day back at school. When Yoshino looked in the mirror she seen her eyes turn white but went back to purple, 'What's happening to me?' Is what she had thought to herself. Ever since she came back from the digital world everything seems off, she wanted to keep this a secret from everyone until she knew what was going on with herself. But the most important thing is how was going to tell her friends she knew who was behind all of this, she couldn't tell them or else they'll died and she doesn't want to lose them again.
Everyone decided to meet up and talk about the news this morning. They were by a river under a bridge and they all were waiting on Joe. Yoshino was playing with Tentomon because she was bored so she was taking pictures with him.
"Here he is." Sora said as Joe was walking down the stairs. "Hey, Joe-senpai."
"Sorry, I'm late." Joe told everyone.
"It's been ages." Mimi said running towards Joe giving him a hug. "A souvenir for you. I'm so happy to see you."
"You haven't changed, Mimi-kun." Joe said.
"Sorry to drag you away from studying." Sora told him.
"That's okay." Joe said.
"He needs to get his head out of his books, he needs some fresh air from time to time. Isn't that right Joe-senpai?" Yoshino said and he looked straight ahead seeing Yoshino.
"Y-Yoshino? Is that really you?"
"I guess so." she went over towards him giving him a hug. "I missed you, Joe."
Joe held Yoshino tightly and he was smiling seeing his old friend, who always encourage him and told him to be the best he could be. She would always encourage him when no one else would.
Everyone was under the bridge as they were going to discuss the strange currencies that have been happening for a while now.
"First, let's sort out the current situation. I made a summary of six recent, strange event. First... The gate to the Digital World has been closed off for at least a year." Koushiro told everyone.
"For some reason, Digivice was malfunctioning." Takeru said.
"That's the second event. Third... Regional radio disturbance occurred mainly around Odaiba. Right after, we had that mystery blackout. The 4th was... Radio Disturbance brought down the networks, except for wired ones. There was poor reception for cell phones, radiophones and TV broadcasts. The 5th event. For unknown reasons, space has been distorted... which created a new, non-gate connection to Digital World. That's how the Digimon got to this world." Koushiro said.
"Like yesterday's with Kuwagamon." Sora said.
"The 6th event. The Digimons emerging through these distortions in space are all new to us. They went through some kind of mutation. I suspect all events were caused by the distortions in the curvature of space." Koushiro informed them.
"Distortions in space..." Taichi mumbled.
"Initially, I didn't know why the first two happened. But now I'm sure it was the same cause. It's clear that the radio disturbance was due to the distortions in space. Most likely caused when Digital World connected to our World. When the Digital World..."
"Did you talk to Mr. Nishijima?" Hikari asked her older brother.
"No, he didn't come to school." Taichi told her.
"Did you see the news?" Mimi asked everyone.
"Isn't it terrible?" Hikari said.
"Poor Patamon and the others." Takeru said.
"People can be so cruel." Hanabi said.
"I'll ask my dad to make a complaint against the media." Yamato said.
"They're whipping up attention by using scare tactics." Joe said.
"They're making it seem like the digimon are the threat, they're exaggerating." Yoshino said.
"But some of the reporting is true." Taichi said making everyone except for Koushiro look up at him. Yoshino couldn't believe what he was saying. "The airport and Odaiba were totally destroyed by Kuwagamon. I saw the site, so I cannot..."
"It would've been worse if Agumon hadn't tried to stop them." Mimi cut off Taichi giving her valid reason.
"She's right. It's wrong to blame our Digimon friends. I can't accept that." Yamato snapped at his best friend. Taichi was about to say something by stop himself. 'Why is he hesitating?'
"What? Taichi, what do you want to say?" Yamato asked him but Taichi did not respond to him. "No need to hesitate. As Koushiro said, something very bad is already happening, There's something only we can do."
"But.." Taichi did not continued the sentence.
"But what? Have you forgotten, Taichi? All we experienced in the Digital World, the battles we fought to save the world. We lost Yoshino and now we have her back, have you forgotten her sacrifice."
"I'd never forget that!" Taichi yelled at Yamato.
"Then why?" Yamato yelled at Taichi and Taichi hesitated again. "Come on Taichi!"
"Calm down, Yamato." Sora said.
"No leave him, Taichi, what's going on with you?" Yoshino asked him. He looked at Yoshino staring at her purple eyes and he flinched a little bit and that didn't go unnoticed by her.
"Taichi. If you are so vulnerable, then... I've had enough. There's no point in having this meeting." Yamato said and began to walk away.
"Yamato, wait!" Taichi said making Yamato stop and look at him but just walked away afterwards.
"Taichi." Sora said.
"I may as well go back myself." Taichi said. Yoshino got up going after Taichi but Sora told her that he needed some space.
"Yeah guess your right." she said.
"It's okay. I'll talk to my brother later." Takeru said.
"Me too." Hikari said.
"Shall we go home, then?" Sora suggested.
"I'm so hungry. Will someone grab a bite with me?" Mimi asked.
"I have to study." Joe said.
"A break will do you good." Hanabi said.
"Not me. I don't even have time for my girlfriend." Joe said.
"Girlfriend?!" Everyone said in shock.
"You have a girlfriend, Joe senpai?" Koushiro asked.
"No way! I don't believe it!" Mimi said.
"Is she human?" Takeru asked.
"That's a nasty thing to say." Hikari said.
"You all think I'm lying. I'm the oldest one here. So I have the first right to be happy." Joe said.
"Let's all believe him." Mimi said.
"We believe you." Everyone said.
"NO you don't!" Joe yelled out.
Mimi, Sora, Hikari, Hanabi and Yoshino all decide to go out and get something to eat just the girls. As they were walking to the restaurants they seen their digimon waiting for them. Palmon was in some kind of outfit while, Biyomon was acting like a bird and Gatomon was acting like a cat, Coronamon and Spadamon were pretending to be a statue, Lunamon was acting like a bunny and Kudamon was with Palmon.
"Mimi, I'm here." Palmon said.
"Palmon?" Mimi asked.
"Biyomon, Coronamon, Spadamon, Lunamon, Kudamon and Gatomon are here, too. Look." Palmon said pointing at the other digimon.
"Biyomon?" Sora said.
"Gatomon?" Hikari said.
"Kudamon?" Hanabi said.
"Spadamon, Coronamon, Lunamon?" Yoshino said. The girls and their digimon walked towards the restaurant called MONJA Tonkichi and went inside of the place.
An old lady stared at the digimon and said, "You have some unusual friends. Enjoy your meal." the woman smiled at them and gave them a table.
"Let's eat." Everyone said but Spadamon and Coronamon were already scarfing down their food which made the girl digimon look at them in disgust. Yoshino got out of her seat wiping their mouths clean with some tissue. Once she was done cleaning their face they thanked her and she went back to her seat and began to eat.
"What were we talking about?" Hikari asked Sora.
"Taichi and Yamato's fight." Sora said.
"Just leave them be." Mimi said.
"But..." Sora said.
"Can't do it?" Mimi asked Sora and Yoshino. "They've both grown to be very handsome. What are you going to do, Sora-san?" Sora began to cough while Yoshino giggled to herself. "Wait, Yoshino is back so Sora-san doesn't have to decide, Yoshino and Taichi are in love with each other." once those words left Mimi's mouth Yoshino started to choke.
"What does 'handsome' mean?" Palmon asked.
"i don't get it." Biyomon said.
"Alright then, what type do you prefer?" Palmon asked Biyomon.
"The thing is..."
"You prefer head-some. " Gatomon said.
"I like the foot-some." Biyomon said.
"We will protect Yoshino from this love." Coronamon said.
"We won't let Yoshino get affect by this love." Spadamon said.
"Bakas." Lunamon muttered.
"Don't worry Yoshino, we will protect you from Taichi." the two male digimon whispered to one another. Yoshino paid for her food telling Hanabi she'll see her at home. Yoshino needed to go somewhere to clear her head and maybe talk to someone.
Yoshino was walking along the docks with her digimon and she had seen someone very familiar but she didn't want to intrude on their conversation. Yoshino sat down on the grass with her digimon siting next to her. She was staring at the sunset until someone approached her.
"Yoshino?" she looked up seeing Taichi and Agumon and she sat up.
"Hey." she said and blew a piece of hair out of her face.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"I used to come here when I was younger to clear my head, guess it still works but what are you doing here?" she asked him and he sat next to her. Lunamon grabbed the boys arms walking away from the two humans.
"Yamato hasn't changed. I can understand why he's mad at me. Maybe I am wrong. What do you think?" Taichi looked at Yoshino.
"I think a lot has happened and maybe your scared of the outcome of things." she said staring at the sunset.
"You're right, I'm scared. I've destroyed so much without even knowing it. Not just buildings. People, too. Maybe I'll end up killing someone. Why am I rambling at this stage?" Yoshino looked at him, she never seen him this vulnerable. She didn't know what to say at this moment but she knew what she had to do. Yoshino hugged him leaning her head on his chest and he placed his head on top of hers.
"I'm scared too." she admitted. "I don't want to lose you guys, I don't want to lose you Taichi."
"You won't lose me, I promise."
"Don't promise me, please I don't want my hopes up." Yoshino said and Taichi lift her chin so their eyes met.
"I'm not getting your hopes up." Taichi told her and leaned in their lips were centimeters away.
"YOSHINO!" Spadamon and Coronamon both yelled out and she turned around seeing her two digimon in the water floating away. She looked at Lunamon and she looked mad but was also a little bit pink. Yoshino moved away from Taichi going to get her digimon from the water.
