Love Has No Boundaries

~Part One, The Quest Begins~

The night air was warm, but there was no solace for the only one still awake in the small apartment in Odaiba. She lived in that place with a family she was fortunate to call her own, but she yearned for more. There was a young man out there, somewhere, waiting for her. And she wasn't going to let him wait any longer.

I vowed to find a way to bring you back to me, my Wizardmon. I will not break my vow. As long as I draw breath I will never give up on you.

Gatomon picked up the staff that sat against the wall in the corner and clutched it close to her. She could almost feel his strong hands holding her gently; she could almost hear his voice whispering kind words to her.

It was simple enough to snatch Kari's D3 from the desk, but trying to turn on a computer in the middle of the night without waking anyone was an entirely different story. Miko, the Kamiya's pet cat, minced by, flicking his tail in distaste at Gatomon, who hissed back. The digiport appeared on the screen, awaiting the command to open the portal to the Digital World. Gatomon hesitated for a moment, but then jumped onto the table and held the digivice in one gloved paw, the other tightly clamped around the staff.

"Forgive me, Kari, but I have to do this. Digiport, open!"

There was an instant of brilliant light, then darkness, as Gatomon was transported through the digiport back to her original home, the Digital World. It was night here as well, and it took Gatomon's breath away as she peered up into the blackness of the night sky and saw billions of stars twinkling brightly overhead, each a tiny pinpoint of light glowing with an ever constant gleam.

This journey will be the most difficult one I'll ever have to make, I know it now. But I know love has no boundaries, and wherever I may go, let it bring me one step closer to finding you, Wizardmon.

"Gatomon…"

She gasped, hearing the voice of the one she loved. "Wizardmon!"

"I beg you please, Gatomon, don't make this journey. The perils are far too great, far too numerous for you to comprehend. If you continue, you will lose your life. It's not worth it, I'm not worth it."

"No, no Wizardmon. You're worth every step I take, every drop of blood I may shed, every tear that will fall. I will bring you back to life, no matter what the price may be." Wizardmon said nothing, and Gatomon took that to mean that his spirit had left her.

"Then let this be the start of my journey," she sighed, setting off down a dirt road.

Love has no boundaries, and if I must walk to the ends of the earth to revive you, then I shall.

A/N: If you have any suggestions (Positive ones! I will ignore any negative comments!) about where Gatomon's journey will take her, feel free to include them into your reviews. I don't know exactly when Part Two will be posted, it depends on how much free time I can secure.
