A Lost Factor

Chapter 8-Address Hunt
Alimon had no clue. Jasmine was still determined to at least look into it. Trying to find Alysha, maybe the last sane digidestined in Acamina, or Chesum, whereever that was. But she didn' know where to look. She didn't know her last name, or where Chesum was. So, she decided to look at the one place she probably could find info. Jenni's house. She'd been there before, practically lived there. Even if Jenni wasn't there, she probably cound find something.

The two left the tower, and the island. Walking down the soot covered beach. And into the dark area, still creeping her out. Even more, now that she knew it was this way because of Realemon. She didn't know any other way back to Acamina. She didn't even know if this was part of Acamina. But, it still lead back to the buses she knew in proper Acamina.

Her and Alimon got on the bus that went to Jenni's house with little trouble. The people seemed to be somewhat used to digimon here. They just thought she was weird to be with one. Which made sense if any people with digimon were her friends, but now on the bad side...like Jenni.She had a slightly funny thought. What would normal people think of Hidimon, controlled or not? Hidimon was crazy, insane, and fun. People would probably run from her, good or not.

At Jenni's house, her grandma was home, but that was normal. She just didn't know if acting like Jenni was here would be normal. Her grandma walked otuside, and Jasmine ducked behind a bush.

"Jasmine, is that you?" Jenni's grandma asked.

Sighing, Jasmine stood up. She had noticed that Alimon was still hiding. "Um, yeah. Sorry."

"Jenni's not here, but you're welcome to wait for her." she replied, and lead Jasmine inside. Jasmine went straight to Jenni's room, and found it exactly the way it was last year. White walls buried in fuzzy pictures, drawings of characters she planned to use in her stories, and other weird junk on her walls. A bulletin board covered in little memento items, like one little clip she said she made on her first sleepover, at Alysha's house. Pictures of friends covered her desk, but none from the last year. The most recent picture was one of her, Jenni, Brandy, Ken, and Hidimon in an illusionary human form, on their first day of college, the year before.

It took a while to find Jenni's address book. But, it was almost empty. Just her family's addresses. No friends at all. Especially a friend who had lived in Japan for 5 years before Jenni found her again 2 years ago. And was now in Chesum. Whereever that way.

She walked downstairs and asked if she could use the computer. She started to email her mom, just to let her know she was okay, and to cover for what she was really doing-looking online for where Chesum was. Once she had a rough idea, she got off the computer, to see Jenni's grandma looking to see how a pretty blue shirt and skirt outfit looked on her.

"It's good to see you again. Where were you all this time?" she asked.

"Home, back in Japan," Jasmine said, chosing not to say that it was in another dimension. She didn't tell very many people that theory.

"Jenni didn't want this outfit, said it reminded her of bad things. Maybe you, since you had been gone. If you want, you can have it. Just try to make her stop disappearing for several days at a time."

"She disappears?" Jasmine asked, confused.

"Yes, doesn't say where she's going or anything. Doesn't say anything. She's just a lot sadder since you left. A few times, she keeps saying she's lost two friends, but I just know about you. Maybe you can help her."

"Yeah,I was just going to find her other friend now," Jasmine said, nodding. She knew that the friend Jenni would really be missing would be Hidimon though.

"That's good. Where are you staying while back in town?"

"I'll see if I can still stay at Wazumi's but if not, another friend's house." Jasmine said, kinda lying. She had no intention of going to Wazumi and her apartment. She'd just stay at Lulu tower. And find a way to get there without going through the darkness.

"You're welcome to stay here if you want, and you can have this outfit. It'd look better on you than Jenni anyway."

Jasmine smiled, and took it, and changed. There was even a little head scarf to go with it. It kinda helped with her plan. She looked even more like Jenni in this outfit. She snuck out, on her way to the small neighboring town known as Chesum.
