The Adoption
Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own
Digimon *sob*. That's too bad, I could
have made it great. (Not). The only character I own is Shawn, I live
his life and therefore I own him.
Ha! If you don't like
tough!
Author's Note: I would have started writing fan fictions sooner, but I
just got out of school for the summer and just started to have the time. By the way this is my first fanfic so please
be kind. ``WARNING`` if you need this,
this will end up with the following couples, Takari, Mimato and Taiora. As well later on when I get to the 02
destined, there will be a Kenlie. Also,
any information I get wrong, don't hesitate to write it in with your review and
I will hopefully have my own e-mail by the time this is posted. Any reviews
sent in good or bad will be used to improve my writing, enjoy!
Shawn was just your
average kid, he was a little slow in school, but always made the effort. His teachers always noticed he would
daydream, but couldn't do anything about it.
He also seemed to be one of those kids that nothing ever seemed to
happen to… "Hay Shawn!" shouted Brad, one of Shawn's friends, "Walk
you home."
"Sure!" It was the
last day of Grade three and Shawn always walked home. His mother and father always thought Hamilton was safe, they new
bad things happened, but as every parent believed, nothing could happen to
their boy. Even though Shawn was a
little slow learning to read, he had an amazing ability to pick up languages
that not even his French teachers could understand.
"So, what did you plan
on doing this summer?" Asked Brad who
lived a couple of houses from Shawn and already knew the answer.
"The same thing I've
done every summer so long as I can remember, go out and play all day! And every Sunday watch Teknoman."
"Agh, you actually
watch those shows from, from … Just
where are they from anyway?"
"It's from Japan, and
I think there going to be a bi…." Shawn
couldn't continue because a strange noise had caught his attention. After a second Shawn realised what the sound
was and knocked his friend to the ground before he started crossing the road.
"Hay, what did you do
that for?" Just as Brad asked, a van
came swerving around the corner and nearly hit Shawn and Brad. After the van went out of site, two O.P.P.
(Ontario Provincial Police) came chasing after it. "Shawn, you just saved my life."
As Brad spoke, one of the cruisers stopped to see if Shawn and Brad were
hurt.
"Pardon me, but how
did you know to react like that kid?"
The officer asked Shawn seeing what he had done.
"I don't know, it just
came to me. It was nothing
really." Shawn said as the officer
looked them over to see if they had been hurt.
"Look, you two better
get home, there are some kidnappers on the loose and you two would be a
tempting target for them. Tell you
what, I'll give you a ride home just to be safe and explain the situation to
your parents, okay?"
"Fine by me." They both responded thinking it would be so
cool to get a ride in the police cruiser.
"Hello, Mr and Mrs…"
Started the officer.
"Norco, what's going
on? Are they in trouble officer?" Asked Shawn's dad who was starting to get an
angry, disappointed glare in his eyes.
"What? No, no quite the contrary, this young child
saved this one's life and, well, I think I'd better explain the situation to
you. Do you mind?"
"Not at all, please
come in and have a seat." Said Shawn's
dad who was now relieved that his son hadn't done anything wrong and happy that
his son had saved some bodies life.
"Um, daddy?" Shawn
started to ask his dad.
"Yes Shawn, what would
you like?"
"I think that Brad's
mommy and daddy should come here to talk to the man too."
"Oh, alright go and
get your parents Brad." Shawn's dad was
starting to sound worried now, because Shawn would only say something if he
knew that something bad happened.
"Um, Shawn? Right?"
Said the officer.
"Yes sir? I was going to walk him to his house, it's
only few houses over from ours." Said
Shawn already knowing what the officer was going to say.
"Alright, but just
remember don't talk to any strangers, and be quick about it." Said the officer.
**********
"Do you think we lost
them?" Asked a short man dressed in
black. He was driving a van and just
managed to lose the rest of the cops that were following him.
"Yes." Answered the other. He then smacked the short driver up side the
head. "That's for almost hitting the
merchandise on that corner." He had
seen two young children, probably in grade two or three, which was exactly what
they were looking for. "You almost
added hit and run to the list of charges you idiot."
"Well," Said the
driver, "its not like were already in trouble for attempted kidnapping."
"Good point. Which reminds me, those two kids, they look
just about right for what the boss wants us to get. So drive around and lets see if we can't find them now
MOVE!!" Shouted the tall man. They began to drive up a street and noticed
two kids walking on the sidewalk.
"Hay, look the cop
car, maybe we should get out of here before we're spotted." Commented the driver starting to get
nervous.
"If we leave now, we
don't get a kid, and if we don't get a kid, we get extended vacation
permanently, got it?"
"Oh, in that case,
which on should we grab?" Asked the
driver.
"Who cares, as long as
it's male, five to ten years and willing to go and if not, we'll make
him." Said the tall man.
***********
"I'm
glad you came with me Shawn, I don't know what I'm going to tell my mom and dad
about the cop." Said Brad.
"No problem, besides
you're one of my best friends, I wouldn't let anything happen to you." Shawn stopped, he had an uneasy feeling
about something, and his feelings were always right. Shawn looked around and noticed the van from earlier. "Brad, I'll race you to your house." Trying not to let his friend get more upset
than he already was, had decided to make the challenge so his friend wouldn't
notice the van.
"Alright, but you have
to give me a head start because you're faster." Said Brad, who didn't want to lose again to Shawn for the
millionth time.
"Fine. Go."
Shawn let him get a few seconds ahead, but in those few seconds didn't
notice the shadow that was coming towards him.
He felt somebody grab
him and his reactions were just reflex to the situation. One thing Shawn was most popular for in
school was being able to fight, well.
He had his first degree junior black belt and was also taking Kendo and
had many first place finishes for fights.
He was also the only third grader to successfully take on a six grader
and win easily. So when the arm came
around his neck, he just side-stepped and hit the attacker.
"You little runt,
you're gonna pay for that." Said a
short man, but towered over Shawn. The
only other thing Shawn remembered and regretted was not turning around and
seeing the other man who hit him from behind.
********
Shawn
slowly woke up and tried to scream, but his mouth was covered by a rag. Just as the van door began to close, the
only thing he could think of was that his friend was alright and had gotten
away. He then heard someone shouting
his name at the top of their lungs and all he could do was pass out. The blow to the head was a little to much
for him to bear.
The next time Shawn
woke up, he was greeted by a Japanese Medic.
"Wait a minute," Shawn thought, "there seem to be a few to many Japanese
people around." Shawn started to become
scared, and then calmed down after seeing two men in uniforms. Then he saw two bodies on the ground and
couldn't remember what had happened.
They were being put into black bags and then into the back of a
van.
"Poor kid." One of the Japanese police officers
said. Shawn couldn't understand him
because he couldn't speak Japanese, only French, English, very little Spanish,
(like five words), but to say he didn't know any Japanese wasn't true. Being in martial arts for a long time, he
had to learn the names of the different moves.
"I'm sorry could you
repeat that in English?" Shawn had no
idea what was going on and wanted some answers.
"He said 'Poor kid.'"
A young lady said who happened to be the translator at the airport.
"Why would he say a
thing like that?" Shawn was starting to
sound worried.
"Those two men were
your only living relatives," indicating the body bags, "they have written
documents to prove it, but a car with criminals in it came by and shot them,
I'm afraid that you don't have any one left."
Explained the lady.
"That can't be." Shawn exclaimed.
"I'm sorry to
hav.." The lady was cut off by Shawn.
"No! it can't be, I don't have any family in
Japan. All my family lives in Canada."
"You mean these
people?" She pulled out a picture of
Shawn's parents which the men had taken as he was being taken away.
"That's them, but how
did you get a picture of them?" Shawn
asked.
"It was with you, and
unfortunately, they died in a car accident.
See?" She pulled out a picture
of a car that looked like the one that Shawn's parents owned. "Are you all right …" The lady waited for him to give his name,
but Shawn was to shocked at what he was seeing. Then, for the first time in ages, Shawn broke down and just
started to cry.
**********
"Now
really Mrs. Kamyia, are you sure you want to do this, you are well aware of
this child's history for the past six months, aren't you?" Asked the secretary, who was wondering why a
mother with a young son, and younger daughter would want to risk having a child
with such a destructive history such this this.
"First thing, he lost
his mother and father, I don't blame him for being overly upset, I would've
been too at his age." The young lady
explained to the secretary.
"You are also aware of
his… unique needs, correct?" She continued to ask.
Mrs. Kamyia had been
ready for this one, she knew that it would come up. "Yes. And I have already
taken some precautions to make his life a little less stressful then other
families have. I'm also aware that two
months ago he was diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and I am
fully aware of how intelligent he is."
She smiled smugly knowing that this was going to be her biggest problem.
"Fine. If you are aware of all of these things, you
can go meet him and prepare him to go to his new home." Was the final comment. "you know, he has been extremely lucky
getting nicer treatment then other children who act in the same manner. I personally believe that some old fashioned
discipline is needed to keep him in line."
"You deal with him
your way, I'll try mine." Said Mrs.
Kamyia as she walked along the hall carrying her daughter Kari in one hand,
while she held the hand of her son Tai.
"Hey mom?"
"Yes Tai?"
"Why are we here?"
"We're here to pick up
your new big brother." She told her
son.
"But I thought
brothers and sisters came from…" Tai didn't finish. They arrived at a door were the new sibling was staying.
********
Over
the next few weeks, Shawn was making life for the Kamyia's difficult. He knew his mom and dad were still alive and
they would one day come to get him. He
then slowly began to realise that these people weren't so bad. He had always wanted a brother or sister,
someone that he could watch over and protect.
One night Shawn
noticed that his brother and sister weren't in bed, and that began to worry
him. He got up and went looking for the
two and found them in front of the computer.
He then noticed the oversized egg that had fallen on the floor just in
front of Kari.
"Shawn, what should we
do with it?" Tai asked. Shawn, in his short time with the Kamyia's
had proven just how smart he really was and started to speak Japanese within
three weeks of being there. He didn't
think this was to bad considering he had been in Japan for nearly six months.
Shawn just looked at
the egg and said "get it out of here
and put it in our room will figure it out later. (with the exception of Shawn being a part of the family now, you
should all know what happens next, so I'm going to skip the Greymon Parrotmon
battle)
