Ken was surprised to see Daisuke waiting for him across the street as he left the cram school building. Daisuke, taller now in his teen years but still baby-faced, was grinning, seemingly oblivious to the rain that drummed a tattoo on the already water-slicked street. He leaned against his motor scooter with his arms crossed; as soon as he saw Ken he waved excitedly, beckoning him over. Ken smiled painedly, still a little embarrassed by his friend’s forthright attitude; he held his bookbag over his head to ward off the rain as he raced across the street to join his friend.

“Hey, Ken, I was wondering when you’d get out of class. Man, you never get enough of school do you?”

“They asked me to teach an advanced trigonometry class. How’d you even know I’d be here?”

“Miyako told me. I thought you might want a ride to the meeting this afternoon.” Even now, with the Digital World mostly quiet, the former Chosen Children still got together at least once a month. It was something important to all of them.

Ken eyed the scooter dubiously. “We’ll get soaked Daisuke.”

“So, you’ll get soaked walking too ya know.”

The boy had a point. Ken sighed.

“Go on, get on.”

A few minutes later as Daisuke wove in and out of city traffic at high speed, Ken had his eyes squeezed shut and his arms wrapped so tightly around Daisuke’s midsection he was probably cutting off the circulation.

“We’re going to die,” he moaned softly.

But they didn’t.
