Chapter Two - The Road to Mori Village Part 1

Alright chapter two is up, I was on holidays so I had no internet to upload this chapter. This chapter is quite short, but I though I would give you something short instead of you guys waiting forever for something long. I'm also starting school soon, so updates may take a while.

After resting up for the night, everyone left Gennai's house and left for Mori Village. The digidestined and the warriors began the long walk ahead to Mori Village. Tai was at the front with Izzy and Matt discussing the dark lords.

"Does Gennai know which of the Dark Lords attacked Mori Village" Tai asked. "Gennai said that have might have been Marsmon. But I don't think Gennai would send us somewhere so dangerous so soon though" Izzy answered. "So your saying it might have been one of Marsmon's minions" Matt asked. "Possibly" Izzy replied.

TK was walking along lost in thought. "What are you thinking about" Kari asked. TK forgot that Kari was walking beside him. "Everyone expects me to trust Kouichi straight away, but I'm still not used to the fact that darkness isn't evil" TK replied. "It's just going to take some time for you to adapt, I'm still having trouble believing it myself" Kari said. "I guess your right" TK said.

Everyone continued to walk on the path through the forest, until it turned dark. Tai then decided that they should make camp for the night. Joe started a campfire with the help of agumon, everyone then sat down and made themselves comfortable for the night.

"So every time it got dark in the digital world, you guys had to make camp and sleep outside on the ground" Davis asked. "Pretty much, though sometimes we got lucky and we were able to stay at digimon villages" Tai replied.

"So in order for our partners to reach ultimate level and you guys to spirit evolve, we need form a connection with one another" Tai said to no one in particular. "It would help if we knew what crests you guys have, that we might figure out who our partners are" Kouji said.

"I have the crest of courage, Matt has friendship, Sora love, Izzy knowledge, Joe reliability, Mimi sincerity, Kari light, TK hope and Ken has kindness" Tai stated.

"If we had to guess who is partnered with who, I say Kouji and Kari would be one pair and TK and Lucy would also be a pair" Izzy concluded. "I guess that's a good of a start as any" Ken said. Everyone looked between Kouji and Kari. There was no way that Kouji was the warrior of light, because Kari and Kouji had totally different personalities.

Lucy looked over at TK, she was worried about him. As long as he's angry about allowing Kouichi to be in the group, their teamwork wasn't going to work.

"So should they try to digivolve or what" Davis asked. "I don't think it would be a great idea to try that now, it might attract unwanted attention" Kouichi said. "Kouichi's right, it would be too dangerous to try now" Izzy said.

As everyone began discussing what they should do about the digivolution problem, TK decided to slip away. He needed some time alone to think, but someone noticed him leaving and decided to follow.

"What's wrong TK" Patamon asked. He was a little worried about his partner. "I'm still unsure about trusting Koichi, him being the warrior of darkness is just weird" TK replied.

"It's dangerous to be out here alone you know" a voice said. TK turned around and saw Lucy walking out of the trees to where TK and Patamon were sitting. "Well I just needed some time to think" TK said.

"I'm guessing darkness not being evil is foreign to you" Lucy said. TK nodded. "I agree with you" TK and Patamon just stared at Lucy surprised. "But I also have to disagree with you" Lucy finished.

"Lunamon told me that the legendary warriors fought a powerful digimon called Lucemon, he was a digimon of light, but he an evil with evil intentions. What I'm basically trying to say is, don't judge someone because of their element, get to know them first and judge them by their personality" Lucy stated.

TK nodded. "I guess I'll give that a try" TK said. "I'm glad to hear that, we should probably get back to the others we wouldn't them to worry, your brother Matt seems quite protective of you" Lucy said. TK laughed. "Your right, let's go".

When TK and Lucy got back to the campsite, most of the kids had fallen asleep. "Where did you two go off too" Kouji asked. "We just off for a walk" Lucy replied. Kouji gave Lucy a skeptical look. TK sat down beside Kari, and Lucy sat down beside Kouji. Everyone who was still awake then began to slowly fall asleep. The campfire light burned out and the night was quiet.

So this chapter is basically a TK dealing with Kouichi chapter. Since Lucy is TK's digivolution partner, I thought she would help TK with his darkness problem. I also want Lucy to have some "screen time" so I thought this would be a good way to include her in the story, without taking up the entire story.
