My second story is up! Digimon is the topic, so please share to your fellow Digi-fans! ;)
This story will envelop around season 4 of the Digimon franchise; Frontier. The six digidestined will start on a new adventure, meeting old friends and meeting new. There will be a bit romance involved, since the topic is a favorite of mine, but I do hope you like it. Please review and suggest to others3 I do not own Digimon or it's characters! However, the idea for this story is created in my mind.
Chapter 1: The Symbol of Fire
Takuya were standing on the bus stop, he had been waiting for fifteen minutes now. Soon Zoe's bus would arrive and after a three months separation they would finally reunite again. The group of six had stuck together ever since they returned from the Digital World, even though the group had kind of split up. Zoe had moved to Koto and Koji had also moved, but only to Setagaya. JP, Koichi and Tommy still lived in Shibuya, but they were busy almost all the time, especially Koichi who visited his brother almost every day.
It has now been four years since their return home, and Takuya sometimes look back and remembers their adventures and of course Bokomon and Neemon. He misses it and still has that little vague hope that one day he will go back. By this date, Takuya, Zoe, Koji and Koichi have all turned 16, JP is 17 and Tommy has finally reached the teenage number; 13. Even though they have all grown up and changed their looks a bit, they are still how they used to be four years ago.
The bus finally arrived. Takuya waited impatiently for Zoe to appear.
"Takuya, I'm right here," Zoe stated while coughing to get Takuya's attention. Takuya turned clumsily around and was a bit shocked; Zoe's hair was short!
"Is something wrong?" Zoe asked while starting to feel stupid and immediately covered the tips of her hair. Takuya realized he made her feel uncomfortable. "No, it's nothing. Your hair looks nice," he assured her and smiled warmly. Zoe smiled back and removed her hands. Then she saw that Takuya tried to hide a laugh. "Jerk…" she said and started walking away from him. "You are still your old self you know." But Takuya couldn't help it. Even though he genuinely liked Zoe's hair, he just had to laugh for no good reason. "Ah come on Zoe! I'm just kidding. Hey! Wait up!" He stormed after her and eventually caught up with her. Now they were off to Yoyogi Park to meet up with the rest of the gang.
After a ten minute walk Zoe and Takuya could spot the heads of Koji and Koichi. "Hey guys, its Takuya and Zoe!" Tommy exclaimed as he saw the two come walking down the road. He ran straight into Zoe's arms and later high-fived with Takuya. The twins walked up to them and greeted them welcome. Then Zoe saw JP making his way towards her, was he still in love with her? He had been three months ago at least… "Hey Zoe, it's been long," he said short and stretched out his hand. Zoe stared at his hand for a second, had he come past his crush on her? She then smiled and embraced JP. "I've missed you." JP had really stopped having a crush on her, she could feel it. Of course he would always like her, but he had learned that they were better off as friends. Plus, Zoe never felt anything romantic towards him earlier.
JP had also learned that Takuya liked Zoe, he really like-liked her. It wasn't only JP that new it, everyone did actually, except for Takuya who believed they didn't know. And he had to admit that Takuya and Zoe was a cute couple.
"So what's on today's schedule?" Koichi asked when everyone had greeted. They then stared at each other wondering about the same. "I guess we forgot to make plans," Takuya grinned. "Can't we just sit down here in the park and talk about the old days?" Zoe asked. "Zoe, you're making it sound like we are in our thirties of forties..." Koji said and shook his head while laughing. The group started to laugh all together, but agreed that remembering their time in the Digital World wasn't such a bad idea.
Good and bad memories were brought up as the afternoon went by. "Do you guys ever think we will go back? And meet Bokomon and Neemon again?" Tommy asked suddenly with a sad face while he lay down in the grass and looked up at the sky. "I sure hope so," Takuya said and joined his younger friend. "When you mention it, that cloud actually looks like Bokomon!" JP claimed and pointed at a very bulky cloud. "No way, that one fits better!" Koichi stated and pointed at another cloud. "You guys are way over your heads, if it's any cloud that even resembles Bokomon it's that one!" Koji stated firmly and pointed at a really big and strange looking cloud. "How can you even make something out of it?" Zoe teased. Koji just snorted and Takuya burst out in laughter.
As the clock passed six, Zoe and Koji had to return to their bus and train. No one wore a happy face anymore. Who knew when next time would be?
When they were all separated again Takuya decided to walk Tommy home. It didn't matter to Tommy, because he loved the company of Takuya, as he was almost like Tommy's second older brother. Then Takuya suddenly stopped and clutched his body. "Takuya, is something wrong?" Tommy looked nervously at his friend. "No, I'm fine. My body just went completely warm for a second there. It almost felt like I was on fire." Tommy looked strangely at Takuya, while he was still rubbing his left arm.
After Takuya had made it home he felt another wave of heat penetrate though his body and leave in an instant. What was going on? He just shrugged it off and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. He was exhausted and his bed was begging him to come and lay down. Or at least that is what Takuya imagined the bed wanted him to do. He bent his head down to spit out the toothpaste; "WAH!" he screamed when his eyes faced the mirror. "Takuya is everything alright?" his mom yelled from downstairs. "Yeah," Takuya answered almost numbed. Was that really Agunimon he had seen in the mirror?
A bit shaken and confused he made his way to the bedroom and cuddled together. He fell fast asleep, but kept dreaming about Agunimon. He was reliving some moments from the Digital World, and he remembered it like it was yesterday. "Takuya…" Takuya jumped up from the bed and looked around his room. "Agunimon?" he whispered. When no one answered he lay down in his bed again. "Takuya…" The voice of Agunimon talked again. Was he still dreaming? "Ehm, Agunimon?" he asked nervously again. "I knew you would hear me." "Agunimon is it really you?" "Yes." Takuya couldn't believe it, his Digimon spirit talked to him! "The Digital World is in great danger Takuya. I need you to be able to save the world yet again." What? The Digital World was in danger again? "What are you talking about Agunimon?" Before Takuya could say anything more his hand started to hurt. He clenched his fist and tried not to scream.
Then the pain faded and Takuya slowly opened his fist. He stared at his palm for several minutes. Agunimon wasn't there anymore, but Takuya was thinking of something completely different right now. The symbol of fire was burned into his palm.
