Mere Anarchy
An ongoing series by Sailor Eevee
Ch. 1: Rain
The soft drops hit the pavement quickly, forming a natural rhythm. Yamato's musically biased ears picked up on it, and it was immediately was jotted down on a paper napkin. He looked around, to make sure nobody noticed. Tai was still talking, oblivious to Sora's adoring glances and Daisuke's posturing. He also didn't notice his own sister trying to hide her and Takeru's clasped hands from him and Daisuke, but Yamato saw them. Not that he was going to enlighten the goggle boy. The restaurant that they were meeting at was dark and smoky, with few other customers. Yamato hated the smoke, but it was Taichi's favorite, and so was chosen for the meeting. He let his eyes slide over all the chosen children, bored to death. Only one met his eyes, the deep violet depths matching the blue oceans of Yamato's own eyes. Ken just rolled his eyes and turned them back to Taichi. Yamato almost laughed at the gesture. Then he too turned back to Tai, settling himself for a long and drawn out attempt at a speech.
"I feel it now..the binding is breaking." A voice said out of the darkness. Gennai just sighed. "I know. There is nothing we can do. We must wait only a little longer, I am sure." A woman's voice whispered like the blowing wind, "I feel it too. The magic in me is less of a burden now." A rough voice snarled, "Have you prepared them Gennai? Do they know? I will not allow some wet-behind-the-ears child to do this. It will destroy everything." Gennai stopped, and then sorrowfully responded. "I tried. This is something that cannot truly be prepared for. We weren't prepared for it, were we Hiroku?" The voice laced with darkness laughed. "Prepared? You remember, Masada, we were thrown in here with nothing! These children must do this themselves. We cannot ease them into it. It will make them weaker." The snarling voice growled in protest, but said nothing. Gennai turned away, buried in fear. What if Masada was right? What if they failed? What would happen then? But as he fretted over the shadows of doubt, the familiar sense of a heavy weight on his shoulders returned, and he sighed, whispering "Only a little while longer.."
The rain was harder by the time the meeting was over. Yamato groaned looking through his pockets. He had forgotten to bring an umbrella, and it was at least a half-kilometer to the nearest subway. His hand had almost touched the handle of the door to open it when another hand got to it first. "You are not going out there without an umbrella." Ken's soft tenor commanded and Yamato dropped his hand. "Thanks to you, I don't have to. Lead on, my savior." Yamato said, and Ken scowled at him before pulling his umbrella out into the rain. Yamato slipped under the umbrella with the younger boy, keeping an eye on where he was stepping. "Damn puddles.." He mumbled. Suddenly the rain stopped. "That was too fast! Rain doesn't stop like that." Ken said, concern in is voice. "Yeah." Yamato said, looking up at the sky. It was like there was a hole in the clouds right over them, and Yamato got worried. "We should hurry up. I don't like how that looks." Ken put away the umbrella, and they both started to speed p their pace. Suddenly the air rippled in front of them, preventing them from going forward. "What the hell is going on?!" Yamato cried, finding himself unable to back away either. "Look over there!" Ken shouted, and the air rippled again, the play of psychedelic light focusing at a point. A bright spot of light opened from that point, and enveloped the two. Yamato found himself buoyed and surrounded by the warm light. "I..I..can't move." He said dreamily, the warmth lulling him into a sleep state. He fought only slightly, but the comforting presence of the light succeeded in bringing him into a deep sleep.
"Please..please Yamato, you've got to get up!" Yamato awoke to a sharp claw poking him in the chest. "Ehgh..what the hell..?" A cold black nose pushed onto his face. "Hurry Yamato! Hurry!" "Uhh.." He lifted his head and focused on the face of Gabumon. "Gabumon..what are you doing in Odaiba?" Gabumon looked around. "What Odaiba? This is the Digital world." "The Digital World?"
"You came here didn't you? Don't you know where you are?" "Well..no..there was a bight light and I fell asleep." "You didn't come here on your own? Something's going on then.." "I would say so." "Hmm.Hurry! She's coming again!" "What?" Yamato cried, but Gabumon grabbed him and pushed him into the bushes. A bright yellow flash leapt into the clearing, and then stopped, looking around. "I can't feel the barrier here." The yellow digimon said. A girl with orange hair tied up into a ponytail ran into the clearing. "What do you mean you can't feel it? I though you said it was here!" The yellow digimon sighed. "It's gone Ruki. I'm sorry." The girl turned on her heel and cursed. "I thought you said you could get me out of here!" She snarled at the digimon. The fox digimon just lowered her head in shame. Yamato, curiosity piqued, crawled to the edge of the bushes to watch. The fox lifted her head and her eyes narrowed. "There's someone else here." The girl, Ruki, looked around. "I don't see anything Renamon."
"I can hear its breathing."
"What is it?"
"Human. It sounds like you, only heavier." Yamato tried to slide back under the bushes, but Renamon turned her head towards him. Her eyes got wide. "THERE!" She jumped at him as Gabumon ran out of the bushes to help. "Gabumon digivolve to..GARURUMON!" Renamon pulled back as the massive blue striped wolf shouldered out of the bushes, snarling. "Don't touch him." Garurumon hissed, his fur standing up in anger. Ruki backed away, watching the fight. Renamon came closer. "You evolve? How? Or was this just a random thing?"
"It's 'cause of me." Yamato said, pulling himself out of the dust. Ruki looked him over, smirking at the dirt and dust that marked his shirt. "You don't look like much. Who are you?" She said, her steely gaze never once leaving his eyes. He smiled a little and replied, "I'm Ishida Yamato. Digidestined at your service." She shook her head. "That's dumb. I'm Makino Ruki, and I've never heard of or seen you before. I don't even know what the hell a digidestined is! Trying to impress me won't work." Yamato sighed. "Look, I don't have time for this right now. Have you seen a dark haired boy around here? He's pretty tall, and judging by my experiences he'll have an annoying little green worm with him." Ruki thought for a minute, than smirked. "Nope, haven't seen your friend. Why? Is he your lover or something?" Yamato's smile hardened. "No. I just want to find him, and obviously you aren't going to help me. I better get going."
Ruki laughed. "Hey hot shot, relax. I just got here myself, so I haven't been around. I'll come with you. We can search for your lover together." Yamato bristled at her statement. "Cut it out. You don't even know him." She laughed again. "Maybe not, but a guy as pretty as you has to be gay. Otherwise, all the cheerleader-types would be dead now from fighting over you. Not that that's a great loss.." Yamato sniffed and turned away. "I don't need your help." She jogged up next to him. "Yeah, I know you got your big scary pet doggy, but I'm bored. Nothing around here is strong enough to put up a good fight against Renamon, so I need something to do. Looks like you're stuck with me blondie." Yamato groaned. It was going to be a long walk.
"Gennai is a fool. It is too late to bring the children now.." Milleniummon laughed. "They can't even fight on their own, much less take the responsibility that destiny requires of them. Besides, it will be easy to crush the one child. After that, they will all just fall into my hands.."
A/N: I hid myself at the bottom this time, because I wasn't sure how this one was going to turn out. I want to make this one as epic as I can, and I'll try to update it as often as I can, depending on my willingness to write. That depends on how well this fic does and how much time I have. Anyway, Ruki's a bad ass isn't she? I wanted to bring out that side of her a little more, and I'm going to play with a lot of light/darkness stuff too. (Probably leading up to some YamaKen, as usual. Ruki didn't know what she was inferring to! ^_^) P.S: Please review! I'm more likely to keep working on it if people like it!
