Chapter 2

So this is what passed for heroes now. Li had already figured out who 1 of the members of his team was going to be. And right now he didn't like it one bit. Sayuki Ishida. What a joke. How was she meant to help out in anything other than tennis matches and The Hills marathons? It was hard to look at her right now though. She had shoulder length brown hair she wore out and a straight cut fringe, kind of like that that singer Lady Gaga's. Anyway that wasn't the reason. He was sitting behind her and the sun was coming through the window shining on her hair. It was so shiny it was hurting his eyes. He let out a low growl and turned his head to his book.

He had to figure out who the other 4 members were. He knew it was 3 boys and 3 girls. He could already tick him and Sayuki off, but who were the other 4. They were all in this very room right now. He couldn't exactly go up to them and ask though, that would be stupid.

"How about you Li? Do you know what the answer is?" came Mr. McKenzie's voice. Li let out another low growl and looked up, holding his hand so as to shield his eyes from the shine. Luckily Li had the ability to think while paying attention to what was going on around him.

"First farming techniques were around 4500 BC," Li replied.

"Correct, well done Li!" Mr. McKenzie laughed. This teacher was a joke. Li thought the city had a better standard of doing things. So far their education seems the pits. Li had grown up with his father and mother, an only child. They taught him everything. He knew more about any matter in the world then any of these city kids. And he also about matters in other worlds. He had to find the other 4 members!

(End of first 2 period- 15 minute break)

Everyone rushed out into the school grounds. Most of the boys began playing football and other groups of kids were walking around or just standing about and chatting. Li found a secluded shady spot beneath some trees and sat down, scanning all the kids. He had to look out for kids only in his year, in his class. Those ones actually mattered.

"Urghhh," he moaned, letting out a long sigh. This was so hard, how was he meant to do this?

Li had come to live with his Uncle a couple of weeks ago. His family had told him he had a task to perform which was to unite the Digidestineds. Li didn't know what the hell a Digidestined was. All his parents had told him was that if they were ever gone he would have to move here and live with his Uncle and would have to complete that task... to save both worlds.

"Both worlds," Li said to himself. That other world. Did it even exist? Li shook his head hard. No, he knew it existed. His parent's whole world had revolved around it. He had grown listening to stories about it. The high cliffs that over looked the ocean, the desert and the forests. The white lights that snaked through the dark purple skies and the multicoloured lights shining from deep below the sea's surface at night.

"Damn it!" Li growled, "Why couldn't they have told me anything real?! Anything specific! Anything to help me figure this thing out."

He tugged his hair and punched the ground. Slowly he opened his eyes when he saw a pair of pink sneakers infront of him. He lifted his head up and saw Sayuki looking down on him. Oh wait- this wasn't Sayuki. She sure looked like her though. She had shortish brown hair in short pig tails and a straight front fringe and brown eyes. She was wearing a peach pink pleated dress with a white waistcoat.

"Are you okay?" she asked. "I kind of noticed..."

"What do you want?" Li snapped. He didn't mean to be rude but he didn't have time to be dealing with these silly little girls, no matter how kind they thought they were being.

"Hey geez, no need to be so rude. I was just asking if you were okay," she said.

"Yeah? Well I'm fine. Happy?" Li replied.

"You've got a real attitude problem for a new kid," she said snootily.

"I really don't have time to waste on girls like you," Li replied and stood up. She was nearly as tall as him and held her ground.

"Fine, I get it. Go waste it punching the ground, have fun jerk," she spat and flounced off.

Li watched her walk off where she joined a bunch of girls who proceeded to pat her shoulder and give him dirty looks.

Li sat back down to think again.

"Okay," he said taking a breath. What did he have so far? There had to be 6. And what did they each represent?

"Head's up Showron!" came a voice and a ball came flying towards Li. Li instantly jumped up, span round and kicked the ball with twice as much force into the opposite direction. It hit Talon squarely in the chest and knocked him back a few steps.

"Whoa, what was that force for? All I did was quick you the ball," he said.

"I don't want to play," Li replied.

"Don't, or can't," Taro smirked, stepping up beside him.

Li gave them both a dirty look. Just then the school bell rang for 3rd period.

"Dammit, I need to find those 4 people!" Li urged himself.
