"SHI NO NUMA"

Chapter 1

"So, where do you think Agumon ran off too?" Asked Takato smearing swamp goo on his pants.

"Dunno, maybe he went off to chase squirrels?"

Guilmon wasn't exactly the brightest digimon, but everyone loved him for all the right reasons. As for his intelligence, he isn't the most earth knowledge blessed creature in the world either.

"Guilmon, boy.. there aren't squirrels in the swamp. In fact, the odds of agumon going into here and coming back alive are quite poor."

Guilmon, looking quite dumbified, gave him a lopsided look.

With minor hesitation, Takato and Guilmon cautiously approached the gloopy land, Guilmon with his tail dragging behind.

The air was bitter, Shallow pools of god know what with wild life covering almost every inch intact. The atmosphere causing the young man and his partner to receive frigid chills whipping intensely down their spinal-cords.
Ah, yes I forgot to mention, Takato is now 17 years old and a soon-to-be marine hence the fact he is hunting down an Agumon to finishing Basic training.

Guilmon approached one of the slimy pools, dipped his finger into it and traced the tip of his finger along the surface of the gooey liquid. He brought his finger to his nose, took a deep whiff and almost fell back in disgust when his nose was ambushed by an intruding, revolting
but helpful smell.

"Agumon."

If it was one thing he was good at, it was using his nose. Takato relied on this gift of his to track down threats to society and make them 'no longer a threat'.

Feeling weary and exhausted, the two decided to take a nap.

Takato Decided to go do his business behind a nearby bush.
To his surprise, the bush... moved? 'What the...' suddenly the bush started to close on about him, Takato ceased his 'Business' and bolted past the bush and ran all the way back to Guilmon.

Guilmon was sound asleep, muttering something... "Peanu- Zzz butter Zzz Bre-"
Guilmon was suddenly cut off when he heard Takato screaming his name that shook the forest for all it was worth. "GUILMON!!" "GUUIILLLMMOONNNNNN!!!"

"Whoa..? What is it Takato...? WAIT! TAKATO!!!" Suddenly Guilmon was shocked when what had happened.

Takato had slipped and tumbled into one of the gloopy pools. The last thing Guilmon heard Takato say was "OH SHIII-!"
Guilmon quickly got off his dragon like butt and hopped to his scaly feet, ran after his tamer holding back his screaming tears.

Guilmon grappled a vine and drove his burgundy coloured tail straight into the pool.
Without even thinking, he dug up his tamer and with a forceful heave he freed his tamer from its deathly deapths.

He brought his muzzle up to his tamers' mouth and attempted to resuscitate his downed partner, and to no surprise he had no idea how to he let his instincts take over.

Guilmon managed to get his pulse rate up again and he was able to succeed to get him to breathe, but unfortunately, he was still unconscious.

He rushed his weight out of the death area and lay him down for rest.
To his surprise, Renamon and Rika had ran into them. Yeah they were in on the operation too and Rika was here to provide assistance for the two.

"Oh my god...! W-what happened?!" Rika was almost in tears as she rushed to hold the tamer in her arms.

"He has a stable pulse rate." Renamon assured the two. "We need to get him to a hospital."

To be continued.

Author's notes:-
Sooo what did ya think? This is my first Digimon fanfic and i think it came out pretty well.
Please R&R.

Final note: I know some people may think Digimon has gone out of fashion for a story but i haven't seen hardly any fanfics out on the net so i though i ought to bring it back into people's minds.

I will continue with this, and the story will get much more sad, but let's save the spoilers.
