A New Problem
[A/N: All right then, this takes place almost exactly after the fight with Apocalymon, and Gennai talks to the Digi-destined. (This really sucks! I have to use a different laptop to write this! Thank you dearest brother and your darn obsession with watching every DBZ episode first without breaks! MY FINGERS WERE GETTING NUMB!) Anyway, my own character, Shinji Shazaki, Ninth Digi-destined, is still here! And I'll be using terms like, "chan", or "Konnichiwa", so I hope you know what they mean! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!]
[Disclaimer: (I hate this!) Let's see, I don't any of this stuff, you know, characters, concepts, or terms? They belong to whoever they belong to, which isn't me. So anyway, I made up Shinji, her Crest, and some other stuff too, which I really don't remember. OK? LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!]
"YES!" Tai cried, "WE DID IT, WE WON!!!" Everyone cheered along with the large haired boy. "This is so great!" Mimi said happily, "Now we can go home!" The nine Digi-destined were resting on a beach after their hard fight with Apocalymon. Gennai uncomfortably cleared his throat, a sad look in the man's… Eyelids. "What's wrong?" Izzy inquired. "Well, there's really a problem about your going home…" Gennai said slowly. "Oh?" Joe asked, "What would that be?" Gennai cleared his throat again, trying to hold the answer off as long as he could. "Gennai, what's up?" Matt asked. "Well, youcan'tgohome." He spoke a mile a minute, but everyone seemed to hear him clearly. "WE WHAT?!!!" Tai screamed in shock. "I'm sorry, but there's no way for you to go home!" Gennai said, backing up slightly. It was obvious he didn't want to be injured by the strong kids and digimon.
"But why not?" Kari asked, worry straining her voice. "I've been trying to figure out how you could go home." Gennai explained, "But… I couldn't find anything." Everyone's eyes began to pool with tears, TK and Kari already bawling. But for some reason, Shinji didn't feel any pain from the news. "Gennai, what's been going on in the Real World?" she asked calmly. "Uh…" the old man replied, staring at Shinji. "Well?" Shinji asked, her voice holding no emotion at all. "Well, um…" Gennai tried to say. Everything fell silent for a few minutes, and then, Shinji spoke the few words that stunned everyone. "My family is dead, right?" she asked, nearly coldly. Gennai jerked. "How… Did you know?" he asked. "I've known for a while now." Shinji replied, standing up, "Piedmon was the one who killed them, right?" Gennai nodded silently. "Huh." Shinji muttered, turning and walking away.
Myotismon jumped up and nearly ran after his partner. For some reason, Shinji had nearly disappeared. Myotismon looked around a short while longer, and found a small lake. Shinji was there, just standing there, her hands in her jeans pockets. "Shin-chan?" Myotismon asked, walking over to her. He looked at the fourteen-year-old girl's face, and was stunned to find that there were no tears in her eyes. "Shinji, what's wrong?" he asked. "For some reason, nothing." Shinji replied. She bent down and picked up a flat stone. "For some reason, I just don't feel sad at the loss of my parents." She muttered, examining the stone. She pulled back her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she skipped the stone across the lake's surface.
"How can that be true?" Myotismon asked, "I've known you for too long and I know that there's no way you couldn't be feeling any sorrow or pain from that." Shinji smirked. "Well, I guess you DON'T know me very well, do you?" she asked suddenly. Myotismon glanced at the girl strangely. Shinji smirked again. "So, why AREN'T you feeling bad about this?" he asked. "I've got no idea." Shinji replied, still smirking. There was an odd silence between the two.
Back with the others…
"S-so what are we gonna do?" TK asked. He and everyone had calmed down slightly. "Well, wait for Shinji and Myotismon to come back." Tentomon replied. As if on cue, the two walked out of the forest and back to the group. "Well, the only thing I can say is that you'd have to learn to live here." Gennai started. Mimi's jaw dropped to the ground. "WHAT?!?!?!" she screamed. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do to send you back!" Gennai said. "So, we've got to learn to live with it, Mimi." Tai said. Mimi looked appalled. There was another odd silence. "Well, I guess this is the start of our new life." Sora finally broke the silence
Five years later…
The nine Digi-destined had slightly gotten used to their new life in the Digiworld. Izzy had finally finished deciphering the hieroglyphs and now everyone knew what they meant. But, everyone had split up, going their own way with their digimon partners and whoever they wanted to be with. Like, TK and Kari went off by themselves, Tai and Sora went off, Joe and Mimi went off, Izzy was alone, Matt was alone, and Shinji was off with only Myotismon.
One day, Shinji was sitting in a forest, the sun shining through the treetops. She was now nineteen, having grown a bit. She was still somehow a head shorter than Myotismon. She thought the vampire grew along with her, but had no way of proving it. She had let her brown shoulder-length hair grow out slightly, it stopping right around the middle of her back. Everyone's clothes had obviously gotten too small for the kids-now-adults and Gennai had given them other clothes. Shinji was wearing a pair of black jeans, much like her old ones, and a red sweatshirt over a blue t-shirt.
Something was in her arms, Shinji gazing lazily down at it. She had a warm smile on her face, her blue eyes calm and especially happy. The thing in her arms stirred, and Shinji smiled a little more. "Konnichiwa, Kai-kun." She muttered. The thing in her arms was a baby boy. The boy blinked and shook his head to get the sleep out of his system. He was only about two, and looked up at Shinji. He giggled happily at the sight of Shinji. "Okasan!" he mumbled. Shinji smiled, her eyes gleaming in the sunlight. Kai smiled as the light seemed to dance about in Shinji's eyes.
"Okasan!" he murmured again. Shinji smiled and tapped Kai's nose lightly. Suddenly, someone's hands covered Shinji's eyes. She had a good idea of who it was. "Otousan!" Kai muttered happily. Shinji smirked and put her hand up to the hands covering her eyes. "Konnichiwa, Myotis-san." she said. The hands covering her eyes fell away, and Shinji was almost immediately kissed. She smiled inwardly, and returned the embrace. Kai giggled slightly. When Shinji pulled away, Myotismon was there, smiling.
"So, where were you?" Shinji asked. "Nowhere." Myotismon replied, "But I've learned something about the other Digi-destined." He sat down next to Shinji and Kai. "Oh?" Shinji questioned, "What's that?" "It seems that Tai and Sora are looking for everyone." The vampire answered, putting his arm around Shinji's shoulder. "Nani?" Shinji asked. "There's a rumor going around that Tai and Sora want to get all of us back together." Myotismon continued. "Why?" she asked. "Something's up." Myotismon finished, "Something that I don't like."
His tone was dark, and angry. Kai raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Nothing that concerns us, right?" Shinji asked, a tinge of fear ringing in her voice. "I'm not sure yet." Myotismon answered. Shinji sighed worriedly. She and Myotismon had decided a while ago that they would live the rest of their lives in peace. Or so they hoped that the Digiworld would allow that. Kai looked up at the two, not understanding what was going on yet.
"Should we go find them?" Shinji asked. Myotismon remained silent. Shinji fell silent as well. "Maybe they just want to get back together." she finally suggested "Perhaps…" Myotismon slowly agreed. Shinji smirked slyly. "And wouldn't it be a shock to them to learn that you and I have a son?" she asked. Myotismon quickly turned to Shinji. "N-nani?!" he asked. Shinji snickered slightly. Kai snickered as well. "Well, shall we try to find them as well?" Shinji asked. Myotismon thought for a moment, then stood up and held out his hand to Shinji. "Let's." he replied with a smirk.
A few days later…
Tai and Sora had already found the other Digi-destined. "We still need to find Shinji and Myotismon!" Sora said, sounding exactly like Tai when he was twelve. "What's going on?" TK asked. "Well…" Tai started. Just then, an explosion rocked the group off their feet. "Agumon!" Tai shouted, "Quick, digivolve!" "I can't!" the little dinosaur said. A huge digimon that looked like another dinosaur appeared out of nowhere. "MONOCHROMON!" everyone shouted, remembering the digimon from long ago. The Monochromon roared and rushed at the group. The group scattered, running from the obviously angry creature. Kari tripped, and the Monochromon ran towards her. "AAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kari cried.
Suddenly…
"CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" a familiar voice shouted. The Monochromon was struck down by a fast moving beam of red lightning. It disappeared in a cascade of digital information. Someone landed from the air, just before the eight teens/adults. "Myotismon!" everyone said in shock. The vampire turned to face the group, smiling. Another person walked out of the forest, directly behind Myotismon. "Shinji!" Kari said happily. "How have you been?" Shinji asked. Tai was about to speak, when he noticed the sleeping form in Shinji's arms. "Is that…" he began. "A kid?" Matt finished. Shinji laughed. "Say hello to Kai, Myotismon and my son." she said.
THUD!
Kai looked at the fainted group of teens/adults. "Ne?" he muttered, no one understanding what he was saying. Shinji and Myotismon laughed at the fainted Digi-destined. Kai looked at his parents in confusion. Tai and the rest soon came too. "So, we've been hearing rumors that Tai and Sora have been trying to get the Digi-destined back together." Shinji said, "What's been going on you two?" "There have been tons of attacks on digimon villages around the areas we've been staying." Tai began to explain. "Has that been happening to you?" Sora asked everyone. "Now that you mention it, hai…" Matt replied. "So, someone's looking for us?" Joe asked. "Maybe someone in particular…" Tai said, sending a sideways glance towards Kai. Shinji saw his glance and slightly tightened her hold on Kai.
Gray clouds began to roll over the sky and thunder boomed. Lightning crashed across the clouds and it became obvious that it was going to be a bad storm. "C'mon!" Tai said, "There's a cave close by here!" He and Sora ran off, everyone quickly following them.
Tai and Sora ran into a cave, everyone closely following them and shaking rain off their bodies. "What a storm!" Mimi said in amazement. The thunderstorm became even worse as the group ran into the cave. "All right, Tai." Shinji said, "Just why do you think someone's after Kai?" "When was Kai born?" Tai asked. "Just about two years ago." Shinji answered, "Why?" "The attacks started just about one and a half years ago…" Sora exclaimed. Everyone turned to stare at Kai, sleeping in his mother's arms.
A few hours later, that night…
Shinji was awake, sitting against the wall of the cave and staring in the fire. She glanced down at Kai, who was sleeping as well. "What in the world would they want with you?" she whispered. She ran her fingertips through Kai's short black hair and Kai woke at the touch. He had eyes just like his mother and father, midnight-blue. "Okasan…?" the child asked slowly. "Konnichiwa, Kai-kun." Shinji whispered. Kai smiled, his eyes half-lidded from tiredness. "No one could be after him." Shinji thought, "There's just no point." She kissed Kai gently on the forehead and the boy yawned. "Okasan…" he muttered.
Shinji smiled warmly. "No one could be after him." Shinji thought again. Unfortunately, as if to try and prove Shinji wrong, an explosion of dust and dirt came from deep in the cave. It rocked everyone awake. "What's going on?!" Mimi shouted. "There's something here!" Matt shouted quickly. "Perfect…" Tai said sarcastically. The digimon got ready for battle.
[A/N: How does everyone like this so far? I'm gonna toss a few more things into the mix, that should freak all of you out. I got this idea from someplace, but I've been debugging this idea for WEEKS in my head! Yeah, I debug thoughts, SO WHAT?! I have to make everything perfect before I put it down on the computer! Anyway, I'm gonna toss some things into the mix that might seem a little weird, but I've used it slightly before! I hope you like!]
