Koshiro and the Digimon were looking everywhere for Yoshino. They looked for her at her apartment, the docks, school grounds, and even under the bridge where they all were reunited. He was worried about her, something was happening to her that he didn't know how to solve. He's been trying to find out what was causing the infection of the Digimon now he has to figure out how to save her as well because he didn't want to lose her again.

"Where could she be?" Koshiro asked himself with a sigh running his hand through his hair.

"At her grave," Coronamon said and everyone turned their heads looking at Coronamon who was holding Koshiro's phone in his hands. "She texted you. Was I suppose to tell you?"

"Yes!" Everyone yelled out and he just smiled at them.

"Let's go," Koshiro said and they all ran after Koshiro seeing Yoshino sitting in front of an old Cherry Blossom Tree. The purple aura was still around her but she didn't move a muscle. Koshiro walked towards her trying not to make a sound and he tried to avoid any leaves that were on the ground. Koshiro was an inch away from her about to touch her until. "HEY KOSHIRO! HOW LONG ARE WE SUPPOSE TO WAIT HERE!" Spadamon and Coronamon shouted out and Yoshino turned around scaring Koshiro. He fell on the ground making Yoshino giggle at him. He looked up seeing her over him with her head cocked to the right giving him a confused looked. She held her hand out to him offering to help him up, Koshiro took her hand and pulled her down on top of him. They both laughed at each other. Koshiro looked at Yoshino's seeing one of her eyes are blue and the other one is purple.

Yoshino got off of him and went back to the tree and she picked something up dusting off the dirt. She smiled looking at the picture it was her and Taichi at there first soccer game. But then she frowns and threw the picture on the ground stomping on it in angry. Koshiro walked towards her placing his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm a monster." She told Koshiro as they both stared at the tree.

"You're not a monster," Koshiro told her.

"I am. I have this thing that I can't control and which will injure you badly." Yoshino said shrugging his hand off of her shoulder.

"I can help you figure this thing out," Koshiro told her.

"I don't need help," Yoshino said.

"As much as you don't like to hear this but you do," Koshiro said grabbing her hand.

"I DON'T NEED HELP!" Yoshino shouted at him sending a gust of wind towards Koshiro knocking him down on the ground a couple feet away from her. Yoshino walked up to Koshiro, the purple aura had expanded and Yoshino grabbed Koshiro by his shirt lifting him off of the ground. "I'll only tell you this once. Leave me alone! I don't need your help, I don't want your help." As she said that all the Digimon ran towards Yoshino, standing behind Koshiro. She tossed him away from her and then grabbed him by his throat choking him. Koshiro looked up at her seeing both of her eyes were purple and it looked like nothing was holding her back.

"Y-Yoshino." Koshiro choked out. She looked at him, "N-n-no m-m-ma-t-t-tter w-w-w-wh-wh-wh-what h-h-h-hap-hap-hap-happens y-y-y-you're st-st-st-still m-m-m-my best friend." Koshiro began to cough due to the lack of air. "A-and I-I l-l-l-love y-y-y-you." And with that Koshiro's eyes had closed.

Yoshino's eyes began to water and she let go of his throat seeing a red mark around his neck. Koshiro was about to fall back down until she caught him. "I'm sorry. Koshiro, open your eyes please." She began to shake him awake and she saw his eyes open. Yoshino hugged him and he hugged her back as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I'm okay," Koshiro told her and she looked up at him, then buried her face into his chest as she cried out. Koshiro let Yoshino cry as much as she needed. "We'll figure this out together." she nodded and the two got up and walked to his office.

Yoshino had spent the night at Koshiro's place not wanting to go home but Koshiro made Yoshino text her parents telling them that she was staying over because they had some work to do. Koshiro and her were in his office working on how to stop the distortion from affecting her fully. Koshiro knew she was still holding something back, but right now wasn't the right time for him to ask her what happened to her in the digital world. He would see from time to time her just freezing or her begin to shake. Sooner or later, he was going to find out.

"I'll be back, I need something to drink you need anything," Yoshino asked him and told her he usually drink. "I'll be back really fast." She walked out of the room but stopped. "And Koshiro, thanks for trusting me and I promise, I'll inform you everything that is going on with me and what happened in the digital world." She walked out the room only to bump into Yamato, Taichi, Sora, and Joe. She smiled at them walking away. She grabbed oolong tea and some water for her. As she walked in she heard Yamato, Joe, and Koushiro arguing with each other.

"You knew me my whole life or at least what was left of it and you don't trust me," Yoshino said.

"You dead, Yoshino. People who died don't just come back to life." Yamato said.

"And Meicoomon killed Leomon, and you want to save her. She's a killer and Meiko just comes out of nowhere with a digivice and you don't trust me." Yoshino said.

"She tells us if anything is wrong with her. And, that's a lot more then you have." Joe said making Yoshino clench her fist.

"It's honestly so great you guys found her. Because I quit!" Yoshino said grabbing her backpack throwing her digivice at Yamato leaving the office. Taichi got up going after Yoshino ignoring Yamato and Joe. She was in the elevator tapping her foot and running her hand through her hair. Taichi got into the elevator with her and she didn't look at him. Yoshino put her earbuds in looking at the elevator doors close. Taichi stopped the elevator and took Yoshino's phone from her hands taking the earbuds out of the phone.

"Really," Yoshino said to him.

"Yamato and Joe, are really stressed after everything can you blame them for being mad at you," Taichi said.

"Yes," Yoshino said.

"Yoshino," Taichi said.

"I get that these couple of weeks have been stressful but to go and attack me like that. I don't think this digidestine thing is for me. You've got Meiko and your team will be set and it'll be perfect." Yoshino told him.

"Not without you," Taichi said.

"You're just saying that," Yoshino said.

"As much as you want to be distant from everyone, we need you," Taichi said with a paused. "I need you."

"Don't," Yoshino said and pressed the button so the elevator could go down.

"Yoshino, please," Taichi said and took her hand in his. "I can't lose you again."

"I'm sorry," Yoshino said as the door opened and she tugged her hand walking out of the elevator. Taichi wasn't going to give up on her so he did the only thing he could do at this time was go on after her. She went to the first place where she and Taichi first met and she sat down on the grass. Yoshino buried her face in her hands trying to fight off the urge to cry.

The only thing she could think of is, 'What if the Digimon got infected because of me? I came before Meiko and Meicoomon, maybe I'm the problem?' Yoshino stood up seeing a portal open in front of her.

'Your friends hate you, they're scared of you and you disappear from them.' The voice said and she began to walk towards the portal seeing a hand reaching out to her. Yoshino put her hand out but someone tackled her to the ground and the portal closed on her. She looked up seeing Taichi and she felt her eyes begin to water.

"Why did you move me away? I could have been out of everyone's hair and you all would have been safe." Yoshino cried out.

"I promised you that you won't lose me and no matter how many times I mess up, I'm still going to keep that promise," Taichi said and wiped a tear off of her cheek. "I know at times, we can't stand each other and other times we're inseparable."

Yoshino didn't look at Taichi, she just wanted to be left alone but knowing him he wouldn't do that even for her. The two sat up and she clutched onto him and began to cry. He held her back, not wanting to let go.

"This is all my fault." She told him.

"It's not your fault, Yoshino," Taichi told her.

"If I have never come back then none of this would be happening right now." Yoshino sighed.

"You're being too hard on yourself," Taichi said and kissed her head.

She looked up at him, "Why are you so nice to me?" She asked him.

"You're special to me," Taichi said making Yoshino's cheeks turn deep red. "I never want to lose you ever. When you died, we made a grave for you and I would go every day to tell how my day was, just being there at your grave still made me think you were alive somewhere. I wasn't going to give up on that. Do you remember the promise I told to you before we fought Apocalymon?" Taichi asked her.

"That you would take me to my first soccer game or we would go to your favorite ramen place and get some ramen," Yoshino said.

"So you want to get some ramen with me," Taichi said standing up putting his hand out to her.

"Sure, why not?" Yoshino said grabbing his hand pulling herself up.

"Aw, look at those two lovebirds," An older lady had said about Yoshino and Taichi. The two looked at each other then down at their hands seeing them together. The two both pulled their hands away fast and looked away.

The two got to the ramen shop getting a booth together. Taichi was catching Yoshino up on everything that had happened the past couple of years she was gone. Yoshino was laughing at almost everything, she was being told. A waitress walked up to the two, "What can you lovely couple?"

"Couple?!" Yoshino and Taichi said in unison. "We aren't a couple, just friends." They said again simultaneously.

"If you two were a couple, you two would look so cute together." The waitress told them. The two order their food.

"Look at you two." Someone said making Taichi and Yoshino froze at the sound of the person's voice. Yoshino turned her head seeing Mimi, Sora, and Meiko walking inside the ramen shop. "Are you two on a date?" Mimi asked them.

"No! I just saw Taichi in here and I decide to come and talk to him. He orders me some food since I haven't eaten but I'm going to take it to go." Yoshino said and the food came Yoshino told them she wants it to go and the waitress.

"Why don't we wait with you?" Mimi said and took Yoshino out of her side of booth put her on Taichi's side. Yoshino just smiled at the girls and she felt something grab her hand under the table and she looked down seeing Taichi holding her hand. She looked up at the girls, Mimi looked really excited for some reason.

"Why don't you two just realize you, two love, each other? Everyone knows it." Mimi sighed.

"We don't love each other!" The two yelled at her in unison. The waitress came back with Yoshino's food and she grabbed it.

"I'm going back to Koshiro's," Yoshino said walking out of the shop. Taichi felt something in his hand and he opened his hand seeing a piece of paper in it.

The next day everyone was back in Koshiro's office seeing Yoshino sitting down playing with her Digimon. Yamato and Joe stood their distance from her still not being able to trust her.

"I'm going to tell you what happened to me in the digital world," Yoshino said, and everyone sat down in the chairs or stood by her. Yoshino began to explain all the struggles she was going through for the past couple of years. Some words she choked on, Koshiro sat next her grabbing her assuring her that whatever had happened, he wasn't going to let it happen again. After Yoshino had finished telling her story, she stood up then fell back down with the purple aura around her. She started to gasp out in pain and tears began to stream down her cheeks. Yoshino looked up her eyes had no pupils and she stood up with a smile on her face.

"She doesn't listen does she." 'Yoshino' said and walked towards the screen with the Digimon tapping the screen twice making them fall out of the screen. "You did know the reason she didn't tell you all what she went through or who is behind all this is because she was protecting you." 'Yoshino' looked at herself in the mirror taking her hair out of the ponytail letting it fall loose. She was fixing her clothes unbuttoning the top three buttons and fixed her lipstick."She had such a beautiful body and yet she hides it makes no sense. You've all notice how much she's changed especially Taichi and Yamato. When she first came back into your world you both stared at her for a really long time. But where were we, right, she's was trying to protect all of you but you all just kept nitpicking. She won't be here to miss all of you when I'm done but what will that accomplish. I have a better idea, why don't I kill her." Yoshino's body fell on the ground and began to shake.

"Yoshino." Spadamon, Coronamon, and Lunamon ran towards her.

"Help me, please," Yoshino said.

"We have to do something now," Taichi said and he helped her up. Everyone got her sitting down on one of the chairs seeing her veins clearly through her skin. All of a sudden they heard laughing, 'Yoshino' looked at them laughing.

"You would do anything for her." 'Yoshino' said. "This is your final warning digidestine, you will not ask her about her past, or who's in charge of all this or I will kill her. See you soon Digidestine." Yoshino's body fell forward, Yamato caught her. Her skin was going back to her natural pigment.

"I'm sorry," Yoshino whispered to Yamato before passing out.

I'm sorry for the long wait I've been going through a lot of things and I got writer's block. But tell me if you enjoyed the chapter.
