Chapter Fifty Three: Digifarm

I made myself as small and sharp as possible, clasping my arms to my sides and falling like a missile to the ground below. I was still dazed at what happened. I blush as I thought about the kiss. How unexpected, my kiss with a boy, whom I knew since childhood but lost and reunited in another world that I accidentally ran into.

'Stay focus' Relemon warned. I try to push the thought away but it keeps bouncing back like an unwanted pop up. I realized if I don't concentrate on my landing now I was going to crash. I forcefully push everything out and focus on my landing, not allowing my brain to think about anything else besides landing. I flipped so my legs were below my head and crouch ready for the impact. I lightly touch the ground and sprang forward, running as fast as my legs allow me.

'I'm glad. That we didn't have to pull out the real spirits.' Relemon sighed.

'Wait you mean my human and beast spirit currently are false?' I ask Relemon.

'Yes the real spirits are elsewhere, and much more dangerous. I'm glad we didn't have to resort to that.' Relemon explained.

'Why are you telling me this?' I ask waiting for the explanation to ping itself into my head.

'Well it's probably the last time we're going to be able to talk to each other face to face.' Relemon said.

'I see…I do hope we meet again though.' I said.

'You do know that we can still talk, right?' Relemon asked.

'Yeah' I said.

'Take a right turn there and follow the stream.' Relemon instructed.

I turned right just like Relemon told me. I continued to run in a straight line looking for the house in the desolate canyon. I didn't understand why I'm running in a canyon or why a digimon would settle here. It was empty and had a water supply but it doesn't seem like a nice place to live. But I didn't argue. I started to fly over as my legs got tired from running.

As the sun start to set and the sky darken I took a quick break and drank some water from the stream. I took a catnap and started to run again. I weigh my choice of staying as Sakuyamon or spirit evolved to Dianamon since the moon was out. I was going to let Relemon rest when we both notice I didn't have my D-tector and I forgot that I've given it to Takuya and the others in case I couldn't make it back in time.

In a few more hours, I saw a house made out of wood and straw. I wouldn't count it as comfy home but it was better than being on the floor. I drag my tired body towards the house and saw that there was a something behind it. Behind the house was a grassy field with many bushes, trees, training tools and a waterfall behind the house. The green sight stretch on and on for miles. I couldn't believe how I missed that green sight when surrounded by nothing but orange, brown dirt.

I knock on the door and a small digimon open it. The digimon looked old like a grandmother.

"Hello, I'm Sakura, this is Relemon." I said gesturing to myself and Relemon.

"Well hello, I'm Babamon." Babamon introduced. "Please come in, make yourself at home."

I walked inside seeing that the house on the inside was also small. My head was almost at the ceiling. I had to duck to get through the door. I saw another digimon which Babamon introduced as Jijimon. I nod a greeting and continue to follow as Babamon gave me a tour of the house.

Babamon told me to stay for the night and continue in the morning. I disagree wanting it to be fast, for I didn't know how long and how much trouble it will cause the legendary warriors to hold the portal open. Jijimon scolded me about being hasty and should stay and that the holding the portal open is an easy job for the warriors. I end up staying at their house for the night.

The warriors pull the edge of the portal stretching it out. Lobomon and Loewemon place their weapons in there holding up the portal in shape. The change the weapon every few hours just before it reaches the cracking point. But as they switch the portal become smaller and smaller each time. The other warriors were playing go fish.

I woke up early in the morning. The sun was just rising. I walked out to the back wondering why the area is lusciously green. I saw other digimon walking around. One was Terriermon, another was Penguinmon. I walked over to the pool and saw a sleeping Syakomon and an Otamamon.

Jijimon and Babamon soon woke. They told me this is where other digimon came to stay. Some of them have a human partner like me. Relemon explain the whole situation where Sakura have to leave and doesn't want to leave Relemon alone. Jijimon said that he'll program the digifarm system into my digivice.

"What's a digivice?" I asked.

"It's the equivalent thing to your D-tector I'm guess, can you show me you're D-tector?" Jijimon asked.

"Um… I don't have that on me." I said. "

We can locate it what's you ID code number pattern?" Babamon asked.

"Pardon?" I asked confuse.

"There is a set of questions you need to answer for the registry form." Babamon answered.

"Well I didn't have one but I did scan my data on it various times, does that work?" I asked.

Babamon search through her book as Jijimon thought about it. They called a friend over. Gennai

"I believe it works, I just need some of your data." Gennai said. I step back a little worried while Relemon was playing with the other digimons.

"Don't worry, it won't be scan, it will just be read." Jijimon said reassuring. It wasn't quite reassuring but I trust in them, they could have scan and defeat me last night if they wanted to.

I formed a ring of data around my hand. Gennai stared astonish at how easy it was for me to form a ring of my data. He placed a hand before it reading it with his palm. He chanted some things as he read my data, he saw me staring at it worried and try to soothe me out with some side-talk.

"This is a digifarm. Jijimon and I give the human partner a program in their digivices so they can stay in touch with their partner. We usually don't have to read other's data but since you don't have your D-tector with you we have no other choice. Also to make sure the D-tector is compatible with the program it would have taken at least two days to figure it out, but judging from what I'm reading this is a faster way." Gennai explained. I nodded understanding.

"I'm teaching Jijimon how to do this so when I go off to travel and someone comes, they won't have to wait for me." Gennai said.

I nodded again. Gennai smiled as I start to calm down. Soon all the digimon were awake some where looking at Gennai do his magic. Gennai started to explain how to use the program and how it works. I understand the complex system quite easily, not sure if it's Magenta's help or not. I stare at the data again as it was being read.

"Man Koji, how long does it take you to say 'Bye.'?" Takuya asked.

"Don't fight." Zoe said walking out of the hospital.

"We've been there for two hours having pointless small talk since he woke up from his coma when his brother should be resting." Takuya said.

"…I wonder how Sakura's doing." Tommy said.

"Aw come on it hasn't even been a day and we just left the digital world two hours ago and you already worried." J.P said.

"Sakura is strong enough to take care of herself for a couple of hours." Zoe added.

Takuya's pocket started to shine. "Hey." Takuya said reaching in and pulling out a golden D-tector.

"Isn't that Sakura's?" Koji asked.

"It is." Tommy said.

"Hey something's going on." J.P shouted.

They all stare at the screen seeing Sakura holding out a hand, tired and the hand had her data on it.

"Sakura is getting scanned." Tommy shouted.

"We need to go help her quickly." J.P said.

"We need to save her if so she can be Mrs. Koji Minamoto." Zoe teased and Koji blushed.

"Let's go." Takuya said as the D-tector in his hand disappeared.

"What just happened?" Koji asked worriedly.

"No idea." J.P stated.

"Does the D-tector disappearing mean we're too late?" Zoe asked.

"I think the D-tector went to help her." Tommy said.

"Ah the D-tector." I said as it appeared in my other hand.

"Ah yes, that is indeed another kind of digivice." Gennai said. "Seems like the program has been installed too, very useful." Gennai said.

"My job is done." Babamon declared closing her book. She has been trying to pinpoint my D-tector at the coordinates that Gennai shouted.

Gennai repeated the instructions and watch as I operated them. "Good, good." Gennai said.

I prepare myself to leave like Jijimon had told me. I said my goodbye to Relemon and the other digimon there.

"This here is Varodurumon. He'll take you to your destination." Jijimon said. I nodded and climbed on.

Varodurumon flew quickly due to his large wings. Varodurumon took a drink of the river just before we got out of the canyon. We made it to the portal in a matter of hours. Varodurumon and I sweatdropped as we saw the legendary warriors playing go fish.

"I'm back." I said.

"Hi, sugar." Ranamon greeted.

"Hi" I said. "Ready to go?" Agunimon asked.

I started to blush remembering the kiss as I look up to see Lobomon. I nodded shyly.

The warriors started to laugh. Lobomon place a hand on my head. "Don't worry, he's a good kid and he really likes you." Lobomon said as I blush harder my bangs covering my eyes.

"Well it's really great meeting you." Agunimon said along with the other warriors.

"Next time we meet tell us some of the secrets of the eleventh warrior." Kazemon said. I nodded for two reasons. One. So they know I will. Two. So they know that I'm ready to be sling at the small hole of what's left of the portal. Kazemon spun and threw me while Ranamon blasted water so I could gain speed before the last of the portal close. Lobomon and Loewemon took away their weapons holding the portal open.

I made it through and the portal snapped shut behind me. I fell following the path of the portal. I was soon surrounded by light. I could hear the colors calling for help and asking for me to save them but I couldn't see them. I leaped forward grabbing for a sound. I felt something like light tissue paper in the hand I grabbed with. It wrapped around my hand and I tumbled through the shifting portal.

"Finally she gone. Fufufufu" Someone laughed watching the scene.
