Chapter 1: The Digidestined of Darkness and his partner and the Girl that takes away the boy's hatred.
In a dark ally of the city Japan, a 9-year-old boy was setting down against the wall with his head down. The Boy has Dark Raven hair that was untamed, but not fully spiky and a few bits of his hair covered his forehead and the front bit of his hair was Dark Purple with a Purple stray of his hair that went over his left eye, giving him a mysteries look, had pale skin, was wearing a Black long sleeve torn jacket over a Purple torn shirt, Black torn pants and purple shoes.
The boy was an Orphan, but doesn't want to go to an orphanage because he refuses to be adopted by a family. He wants to be somewhere where the Darkness is. The Boy loves the Darkness more than anything else in the world. The Darkness has protected him all his life from any people that tried to capture him.
The Boy never knew his parents, because they were never found when he was born. The Boy doesn't know if he has any family besides his parents. The only thing that counts as family to the boy was the Darkness, for it was always there for him when he was alone.
The boy would often dream that there was no Light in the world and that the sky was always Dark like how it was when the Night comes. The Boy always loved to play when the night comes. He always feels at home when the night comes.
People from an Orphanage always tries to capture the boy to take him to an Orphanage, but they always failed because the Darkness hides the boy from them. The Boy saw how the people of the world hates the Darkness, so he hates the world back for hating the Darkness.
The Boy had no friends, because kids would call him a freak of his hair and eyes. He would sometimes watch a Family from the Darkness and saw how they love each other, making him wish that he had a family.
The Boy was also quiet smart for his age, easily being smart enough to know things an adult should. The boy hates the world even more for taking his family away from him.
However, one night something happened that the Boy would never forget. A giant egg appeared in the night sky, before it hatched and a giant Green bird came out. The Giant green bird fought against a Yellow dinosaur, before it changed into a giant red or orange Dinosaur with blue lings.
The Giant Dinosaur took a hit from the Green bird and the Boy thought the bird won against the Dinosaur. But then the Boy heard a whistle next to the Dinosaur and the Dinosaur woke up and fired an attack from its mouth and a flash happen that knocked the boy out.
When the Boy woke up, he saw the Orange Dinosaur and the Green bird were gone and the city was a mess. The boy always thought about that Night and where those monsters came from.
The Boy never even tried to make Friends. Because he likes to be alone and that People his age thinks that the boy was a freak because of his hair color and the color of his eyes. The boy would never pay attention to them, but when someone trash talk about his Parents or the Darkness, the boy snaps and hurts the people that talks that way.
The boy may never admit it, but he would wish that he at least had one friend that would always be there for him. The boy never liked being alone and wished he at least knew one person that cared for him.
The Boy then heard the sound of Wings flapping, but didn't lift his head. From above the boy, a Dark blue bat like creature with yellow eyes was looking at the boy. The creature then spoke. "Hey Kid. What are you doing here in a dark place like this''. The Creature said to the young boy, wondering why he is in an ally.
The Boy heard the Creature spoke and lift his head to look at the creature. The Creature was surprise at the boy's eyes. The Boy's eyes didn't have any innocence or child spirit that a child should have; instead there was a cold dark look in his Purple eyes.
"This dark place is my home. I live anywhere that has Darkness''. The Child said to the creature, not minding that it isn't human. The Boy's voice sounded cold, but was a nice voice. The Bat creature looked at the Boy in interest from hearing the boy say Darkness.
"What about your Parents. Wouldn't they not like their kid being in the Darkness''. The Bat creature said to the boy, wondering about the boy's family. "I don't have Parents. The only thing that counts as family to me is the Darkness''. The Boy said to the Bat Creature, telling him that he doesn't have a family.
Now the Bat Creature looked ever more interested in the boy. "Why do you like the Darkness that much kid''. The Bat creature said to the Boy, wanting to know why he loves Darkness. The boy let out a little smile. "The Darkness has always been there for me, whenever I was alone or sad. The Darkness gave me a feeling of comfort. I don't like the Darkness. I love the Darkness''. The boy said with a smile, thinking of all the times the Darkness was there for him.
The Creature let out a smirk from hearing what the boy said. "Maybe he can open that book''. The bat creature thought to himself, thinking that this child could open a book. "What's your name kid''. The Bat creature said to the boy, wanting to know the kid's name. The boy looked at the Bat creature. "I don't have a name''. The Boy said to the bat creature, never knowing his real name.
The Bat creature looked shocked that the boy had no name. "Then just think of a name to give yourself''. The Bat creature said to the Boy, thinking he should just pick a name for himself. The Boy thought about a name for a few seconds before he came up with a name. "My name will be Shadow''. The boy said as he named himself Shadow.
"My name is DemiDevimon and I know someone that can help you get a better life''. The creature called DemiDevimon said to Shadow. Shadow looked at the bat in confusion. "Will this new life still let me be with the Darkness''. Shadow said to DemiDevimon, wanting to know if he'll stay close to the darkness.
DemiDevimon nodded to Shadow. "Yup, even closer now come on''. DemiDevimon said as he started to fly away with Shadow following him, wanting to know what this creature means.
Shadow followed DemiDevimon from the Ally to a small island that was a little bit away from a bridge. DemiDevimon lead Shadow to the middle of the island and a staircase appeared on the ground.
Shadow looked surprised while DemiDevimon chuckled. "Stop''. Shadow and DemiDevimon heard a voice. Shadow looked right and looked surprised again, because there was a Ghost like monster looking at him and DemiDevimon. "Why have you brought a human here. Is he the eight child''. The Ghost like monster said to DemiDevimon.
"Shut it, Bakumon. This kid isn't the eight child and the reason why I brought him here is because I think this kid is the child of Darkness from that book''. DemiDevimon said to the Ghost he called Bakemon.
Bakemon gasped at what DemiDevimon said while Shadow looked at DemiDevimon in confusion. "What does he mean Child of Darkness''. Shadow thought to himself. Shadow loved the Darkness with his heart, but he didn't think that would let him be called the Child of Darkness.
"I'm sorry. Please carry on''. Bakemon said as he quickly left. DemiDevimon chuckled again, before he looked at Shadow. "Well Come on''. DemiDevimon said as he flew down the stairs with Shadow following after him.
DemiDevimon lead Shadow down the stairs for 5 minutes before they stopped in front of a Big room with a Coffin in the middle of the room. Shadow was about to ask DemiDevimon something, when the Coffin opened and a Vampire man wearing vampire clothes and mask with blond hair came out.
Shadow looked at the Vampire man in awe, can't believing that Vampires exist. The Vampire man looked at Shadow and DemiDevimon, before he walked up to them. "Why have you brought a Human here, DemiDevimon. His not the eight child because if he was then the crest would have reacted''. The Vampire man said as he brought out something that looked like a Neckless with a weird mark.
DemiDevimon bowed before the Vampire man. "Lord Myotismon. I brought this kid here because I believe that he is the Child of Darkness from that Book''. DemiDevimon said to the Vampire he called Myotismon.
Myotismon's eyes widen as he looked at Shadow before he looked back at DemiDevimon. "Go get the book''. Myotismon ordered DemiDevimon. DemiDevimon nodded to Myotismon as he flew away, leaving Shadow alone with Myotismon.
Myotismon looked at Shadow again. "Tell me child. What does the Darkness mean to you''? Myotismon said to Shadow. Shadow looked back at Myotismon. "The Darkness means everything to me. The Darkness is my family, for everything it has done for me''. Shadow said to Myotismon.
Myotismon smirked at Shadow. "Good to know. Now, what does Light mean to you''. Myotismon said to Shadow. "It means nothing to me. Light is the reason why so many people hate the Darkness, so I hate people back for hating the Darkness''. Shadow said as he explained what Light means to him.
Myotismon was now smirking and looking interested. "Interesting. This boy loves the Darkness and hates the Light. Maybe he is the Chosen Child of Darkness''. Myotismon thought to himself. "Last question. What do you think about a world full of Darkness and no Light''? Myotismon said to Shadow.
"It sounds like a paradise to me. Darkness everywhere I look and feel. I wish that the world was full of Darkness''. Shadow said as he smiled at the thought of a world full of Darkness. "And what about the world the way it is now''. Myotismon said to Shadow.
"I don't care about how it is now. People love the light and hates the Darkness because of the way the world it is now''. Shadow said to Myotismon, making Myotismon smirk at him again.
DemiDevimon then flew back into the room and in his claws was a black book with a weird mark on the front of it. "I'm back and I got the book''. DemiDevimon said as he handed the Book to Myotismon. Myotismon looked at the book for a few seconds before he held it out to Shadow.
"If you really are the Chosen child of Darkness, then open this book''. Myotismon said to Shadow. Shadow looked at the book for a few seconds before he moved his right hand to grab the book.
However, when Shadow's hand touched the book, a Dark Aura started to surround the book, making Myotismon let go while Shadow held the book in both his hands. Shadow looked at the book in awe from seeing the dark aura surround it.
Shadow then moved his left arm to open the book. Shadow then pulled the book open and Dark light came out and forced Shadow, Myotismon and DemiDevimon to close their eyes. The Dark Light stayed for a few seconds, before it disappeared and allowed Shadow, Myotismon and DemiDevimon to open their eyes.
The Dark aura still surrounded the book, but it now also covered Shadow. Shadow looked down at himself to see that he was wearing new clothes. He was wearing a Mid-night long sleeve jacket with a high collar with the sleeves having Purple lings over a black short sleeve shirt with a picture of a black dragon on it. He was also wearing black Long pants that had Purple lings as well, Black and Purple shoes, had Black fingerless gloves and finally a Mid-night open cloak that covered his body with a hood.
Shadow also felt something around his neck and had his left arm pull it out. Shadow saw that it was a Pendant like the one that Myotismon had, only where it was yellow, was instead Black with the mark in the shape of a black crescent moon with a black star in the middle.
Myotismon and DimiDevimon saw the crest in Shadow's hand and gasped. Shadow then felt something in his new pants pocket. Shadow put the crest back around his neck and pulled out the object in his pocket. Shadow saw it was a small devil that was coloured dark.
"What are these things?''. Shadow said looking at the dice in his hand before he looked down at the pendant around his neck. "Those things are called a Digi-vice and Crest''. Myotismon said making Shadow look at him. "That device is a Digi-vice and that around your neck is called a Crest''. Myotismon said to Shadow.
Shadow looked at the device before he looked at the crest. "That's what these things are called''. Shadow said looking at his crest. Myotismon nodded with a smirk. "Indeed. You really are the Digidestined of Darkness''. Myotismon said making Shadow look at him again while DemiDevimon chuckle.
Shadow was about to ask Myotismon what a Digidestined of darkness was, until his crest started to glow with Dark energy with his Digi-vice glowing dark energy as well. Shadow put his new book in his cloak before he pulled his crest off with his right arm.
Shadow looked at his Digi-vice and crest, before he suddenly felt like the crest and Digi-vice wanted him to go somewhere. Shadow looked at Myotismon. "My Crest and Digi-Vice wants me to go somewhere. Can I go where they want me to go''. Shadow said to Myotismon. Myotismon nodded to Shadow and Shadow left the room and went dipper in the bass.
Shadow was now walking down some stairways going somewhere down the bass. Shadow was following where his Crest and Digi-vice wanted him to go. "Who are you?'' Shadow heard a female voice from in front of him.
Shadow looked from his Crest and Digi-vice to see a White Cat, wearing yellow claw gloves, has a little purple around her tai, Blue eyes, had a ring around her tai and was glaring at him. "My name is Shadow''. Shadow said to the Cat.
The Cat continued to glare at Shadow as she put a bag of food she was carrying down. "What are you doing here and how did you get here''. The Cat said to Shadow. Shadow held up his crest and Digi-vice. "I'm here because my Crest and Digi-vice lead me down here''. Shadow said to the Cat.
The Cat looked like she didn't believe him and was about to pounce. "Wait Gatomon''. A voice said from down the staircase, making the cat known as Gatomon and Shadow look down at the staircase.
The voice sounded dark, but cool. "Let him come to me. He is the one I have been waiting for''. The voice said from the staircase making Gatomon widen her eyes before she looked back at Shadow.
"I'll trust you, but if you plan to do anything to my friend, I'll claw your eyes out''. Gatomon said to Shadow. Shadow nodded to Gatomon as he continued down the staircase with Gatomon following him.
Shadow soon arrived at a big dark door, before he pushed it open and walked in with Gatomon behind him. Shadow then saw at the end of the room was a big dark cage with the darkness covering what was inside of the cage.
Shadow and Gatomon walked till they were in front of the cage. Then glowing purple eyes appeared in the darkness. "You've finally arrived''. The same voice from before said from inside of the cage. "You've been waiting for me''. Shadow said looking at the Glowing purple eyes. "Yes I have. I've never shown my form to anyone before. I wanted you to be the first who saw me''. The voice said as the glowing purple eyes then shifted to Gatomon.
"Gatomon. Thank you for bring me food and water since I've been in this cage, waiting for my partner. You have my thanks for looking after me''. The voice said, sounding grateful. Gatomon's checks turned a little red as Gatomon looked away from the purple eyes.
"Your welcome, You're my friend after all and I just couldn't see you die before you meet the one you've been waiting for''. Gatomon said sounding shy, making Shadow look at her confused, before he looked back at the glowing purple eyes.
The glowing Purple eyes then shifted back to Shadow and some of the darkness covering the cape moved away to show the front of the cage with a hand mark on the front of the cage. "Now release me, my partner''. The voice said making Shadow's eyes widen for a bit.
Shadow then walked to the front of the cage and put his right hand on the hand mark. When Shadow's hand made contact, Shadow glowed with dark aura with his crest and Digi-vice while the Cage glowed as well, before the cage exploded in dark energy, sending Shadow and Gatomon flying before they landed on their backs.
Shadow and Gatomon quickly opened their eyes to see the Purple eye's form. The smoke from the explosion started to clear and show the Purple eye's form.
The purple eye's body was the same as a Veemon, only a little bigger and different, was mostly Black and purple with a few differences. The white areas are purple, had a long black Dragon tail with a few spikes, had two Dragon feet that had three grey claws, two at the front with one at the back, standing like a Monodramon. He also had Black five-finger dragon claws, has two dark Dragon wings on the back. His head was mostly like a Monodramon's head, only black with a black mouth with sharp fangs, has purple eyes, two grey horns on the back of his head and on his nose with black bat-like ears like a guilmon.
"At last I'm free''. The black digimon roared as he spread his wings open, showing his fangs, holding his claws out and unleashing a small shockwave.
Shadow looked at the Dragon Digimon in awe while Gatomon's checks turned bright red from seeing the Dragon digimon. "You're so cool, what's your name''. Shadow said excited to the Dragon Digimon. The Dragon digimon chuckled. "My name is Grimdramon''. The Dragon Digimon that he called himself Grimdramon.
(Digimon analyses)
"I am a Virus Rookie Level Dragon type Digimon. My Darkness breath attack makes my Opponent fear me and my Darkness dive sends my opponent flying''. Grimdramon said telling Shadow and Gatomon about himself.
(Digimon analyses end)
Grimdramon walked up to Shadow. "I'm happy to finally be by your side, my partner''. Grimdramon said to Shadow, happy to finally have his partner. Shadow smiled at Grimdramon. "As am I, my friend''. Shadow said to Grimdramon, happy to finally have a friend. Grimdramon smiled back at Shadow before he looked at Gatomon. "What do you think about my form, Gatomon''. Grimdramon said to Gatomon, wanting to know what she thinks of him.
Gatomon was still blushing a bet. "You look really handsome, Grimdramon''. Gatomon said, causing both her and Grimdramon to Blush even more. "Thank you for your kind words, Gatomon''. Grimdramon said as he looked back at Shadow, who was looking at his black Digi-vice.
"What's your name, Kid''. Grimdramon said to Shadow, making Shadow look at him. "I don't know my real name, so I decided to give myself my own name. My name is Shadow''. Shadow said to Grimdramon, telling him the name he picked for himself.
"Nice name''. Grimdramon said to Shadow, liking his name. "Thanks''. Shadow said to Grimdramon. Shadow then looked back at the staircase. "Let's go. Master Myotismon is waiting for us''. Shadow said with Grimdramon nodding to Shadow.
Shadow, Grimdramon and Gatomon then walked up the staircase with Shadow in the lead and Grimdramon and Gatomon behind him, taking to each other. Soon they arrived back in Myotismon's room. Myotismon turned around when he heard someone approaching. Myotismon looked at Grimdramon in surprise at seeing him out of the cage. "You actually left your cage''. Myotismon said looking at Grimdramon
"I've finally found my partner Shadow. I don't have any reason to stay in that cage''. Grimdramon said to Myotismon. Myotismon smirked at Grimdramon, before he looked at Shadow. "Well, will you join me in bringing this world to darkness''. Myotismon said to Shadow.
Shadow was silent for a few seconds. "Everyone loves the light and hates the darkness. Let's see how they like it when the Light is gone and the Darkness remains. So I'll join you''. Shadow said to Myotismon. Myotismon smirked evilly at Shadow. "Good to know''. Myotismon said as he chuckled, but didn't notice Grimdramon narrowed his eyes at him.
"I don't trust him. He'll probably make Shadow his slave when his done with him. However, I won't let him hurt my partner''. Grimdramon thought before he looked at Gatomon. "Or hurt Gatomon''.
Myotismon then threw something at Shadow and Shadow catches it. Shadow looked to see that it was that Crest that looked different then his crest. "Master, I don't understand why you given this to me''. Shadow said as he looked at Myotismon. "That Crest is not the real crest. It is a fake I created to find the eight Digidestined''. Myotismon said to Shadow.
Shadow looked at Myotismon in confusion. "Master, I tried to ask, but what is a Digidestined?'' Shadow said to Myotismon. "A Digidestined is a human that was chosen to fight the darkness with their partner Digimon. The Eight child is the Digidestined of Light that has the power to destroy me''. Myotismon said to Shadow. Shadow narrowed his eyes. "Digidestined of Light''. Shadow said as he really didn't like what Myotismon said.
"Indeed. The Crest that I gave you will react when you find the Eight child or their Digi-Vice''. Myotismon said to Shadow. "What happens when we find the eight child''. Grimdramon said to Myotismon. "Return to me straight away and tell me who the Eight child is''. Myotismon said to Grimdramon.
Shadow and Grimdramon nodded to Myotismon. Myotismon then looked at Gatomon. "Show them the way out and then continue your search for the eight child''. Myotismon said to Gatomon. Gatomon nodded to Myotismon before she looked at Shadow and Grimdramon. "Follow me''. Gatomon said as she leads Shadow and Grimdramon out of the bass.
Shadow, Grimdramon and Gatomon were now outside the bass. Shadow looked at the blue sky in hatred. "I can't wait to see the sky black''. Shadow said looking at the sky. "The faster we find the eight child, the faster the sky can turn black''. Grimdramon said to his partner.
Shadow nodded to Grimdramon as he put his crest around his neck and his Digi-vice in his pocket. Shadow then brought the fake crest of light out. "Let's go''. Shadow said as he started to walk. Grimdramon looked at Gatomon. "I'll see you later. How about tonight I get some fish for you''. Grimdramon said to Gatomon.
Gatomon smiled at Grimdramon. "I look forward to that''. Gatomon said before she winked at Grimdramon. Grimdramon winked back at Gatomon, before he went after Shadow.
(2 hours later)
Shadow and Grimdramon were now in a park, taking a break. "How hard can it be to find someone in a big city''. Shadow said as he sat against a tree.
Shadow and Grimdramon spent the last 2 hours searching for the eight child, but the crest didn't react. Shadow jumped across rooftops, searched under bridges, looked through People's windows, but couldn't find the eight child. Grimdramon was impressed with Shadow's speed, agility, stealth and blending in the shadows. Grimdramon just used his wings to fly after Shadow and also hid in the shadows.
Shadow and Grimdramon were now resting in a Park where family's take their kids to play at a playground. Shadow then looked at the sky that was slowly turning orange. "How will the world be conquered by darkness if I can't find just one child''. Shadow thought to himself looking at the sky.
"Leave me alone''. Shadow heard a Girl's voice making him get up from the ground to see three 8-year-old boys surrounding an 8-year-old girl. One boy had brown hair, wearing a Yellow shirt, Blue pants and red shoes, green eyes. The second boy had blond hair, red shirt, brown pants, white shoes, Blue eyes.
The last boy had Black hair, wearing a Purple shirt, black pants, black shoes and Black gloves and Brown eyes. The Girl that was being surrounded had Brown short hair, ruby eyes, she also wears a yellow shirt with two white buttons in the top, a pink scarf around the neck, pink pants, white socks, red and white sneakers, and she had a whistle.
Shadow may hate people that hate the darkness and kids around his age, but he still has a good nature and helps people out when they needed help. Shadow looked at Grimdramon. "Stay in the shadows and wait till the cost is clear''. Shadow said to Grimdramon. Grimdramon nodded to Shadow as he used his wings to fly into the tree's shadows and Shadow walked over to where the kids were surrounding the 8-year-old girl.
With the brown hair girl, the three boys were surrounding her with no way to escape. The Black hair boy seemed to be the leader. "Come on Kari''. The boy said to the girl he called Kari. "Just come play with us and who knows, maybe we could even be best friends''.
Kari took a step back. "You know that I can't. I promised Tai that I would not worry him and that I would stay away from you, Jaden''. Kari said to the boy she called Jaden. Jaden glared at Kari. "Forget about that Goggle head and just come with me''. Jaden said as he grabbed Kari's right arm with his left hand and started to drag her. Kari tried to get her hand out of Jaden's grip, but then a hand grabbed Jaden's arm, making both Jaden and Kari look to see that it was Shadow that grabbed Jaden's hand. Only Jaden and the boys could see Shadow's eyes, but Kari couldn't.
Shadow glared at Jaden, which caused him and the two other boys to feel scared. "You can't just force someone to do something they don't want to do. You should respect her decision''. Shadow said as he turned to look at the girl.
Shadow didn't know why, but when he and the girl made eye contact, both him and the Girl blushed at each other. "She's so beautiful and her eyes looks so pure''. Shadow thought to himself in awe. Shadow also felt his hatred for people and the world disappear from looking at the girl as well. "Why is my hatred gone. Is it from this weird feeling that I got from looking at this girl''. Shadow thought to himself, wondering what this feeling his feeling, not knowing it was love at first sight.
Meanwhile, the Girl called Kari was also thinking about Shadow. "His so cool looking and His eyes are so pretty like that. His hair is cool looking too''. Kari thought to herself. Kari then felt something from looking at Shadow's eyes. "Why does his eyes seem so sad and what is wrong with my heart''. Kari thought to herself, seeing the hidden sadness in Shadow's eyes.
Jaden let go of Kari's hand and tried to shook his hand out of Shadow's grip, but Shadow just let go of Jaden's hand and Jaden fell on the ground on his butt. This action caused Kari to giggle from seeing Jaden fall to the ground. Jaden got angry from Kari's giggling and from Shadow's sneaky move.
Jaden got up from the ground and glared at Shadow. "Hey freak, get lost and away from my Kari''. Jaden said glaring at Shadow, wanting Shadow to get lost. Shadow looked at Jaden and was about to say something, when Kari got in front of him and looked at Jaden. "His not a freak, Jaden. Also I'm not some object''. Kari said to the boy she hates, sounding protective of Shadow, which surprised Shadow.
Shadow looked at Kari's back in surprise. "She's defending me. But why, she saw my eyes so why haven't she insulted me''. Shadow thought in surprise at this girl's actions. "But Kari, you saw what his creepy eyes looked like so why are you defending him and his hair looks creepy''. Jaden said as he pointed at Shadow, wondering why Kari is protecting Shadow.
Kari shook her head at what Jaden said. "I'm defending him because he is my friend''. Kari said to Jaden, which surprised Shadow very much. "Her friend. But she just met me''. Shadow thought in shock at what Kari said. "And I don't think his eyes or hair looks creepy. I think his eyes and hair look very cool and pretty''. Kari said as she looked at Shadow and smiled at him.
Now Shadow was very shocked at what Kari said and why she was smiling him. "She thinks my eyes and hair looks cool and pretty. She's the first one to think that way from me and I've never seen anyone smile at me like that''. Shadow thought in shock as he could feel his heart beat faster and his checks turn red.
Shadow didn't know why, but he smiled back at Kari with kindness with Kari returning the smile to Shadow. Jaden saw this and got mad. "Fine then, Blake, Rick get them''. Jaden said to the other two boys. The two boys nodded as they charged at Shadow and Kari. Shadow saw and felt them coming from his crest and got in front of Kari, holding his left hand out to keep Kari behind him. "Grimdramon, show yourself''. Shadow said as he held his right hand out to summon his partner.
From the shadows of the trees, Grimdramon came out and stood in front of Shadow and Kari, growling at Jaden and his friends. Everyone, but Shadow and Grimdramon's eyes widen when they saw Grimdramon. Jaden and his two friends shouted out in fear, before they run away while Kari looked at Grimdramon in awe.
Grimdramon looked back at Shadow. "They didn't seem so tough. You could have taken care of them yourself''. Grimdramon said to Shadow, wondering why he called him and not took care of them himself. "They aren't worth my time''. Shadow said to his partner, before he looked back at Kari.
Shadow and Kari made eye contact again and blushed at seeing each other again. "H-hi''. Kari said nervously to Shadow, checks red and nervously speaking. "H-h-hello''. Shadow said to Kari, also feeling nervous around this girl. Grimdramon took notice of Shadow being nervous and smirked. "Oh, love at first sight is it''. Grimdramon thought to himself, smirking to himself at how he thinks it is love at first sight for these two.
Kari shook her head to get rid of her nervousness. "Thank you for helping me out''. Kari said to Shadow as she smiled at him again, with her checks still red. Shadow blushed at Kari's kind smile. "You're welcome umm… Kari was it''. Shadow said to Kari, still feeling nerves about Kari's kindness to him. Kari nodded to Shadow before she looked at Grimdramon who was next to Shadow. "Hello, are you a friend of Agumon's''. Kari said to Grimdramon, wondering if this Digimon is friends with Agumon.
Grimdramon looked at Kari confused at what she said. "Who's Agumon?''. Grimdramon said to Kari, having never heard of that Digimon before. "Agumon is my big brother's partner''. Kari said to Grimdramon, making Shadow and Grimdramon widen their eyes at what Kari said.
"Partner. Is Kari's big brother a Digidestined. Does that mean that Kari is the eight child''? Shadow thought to himself before he brought out the fake crest of light. However, it was not reacting, making Shadow sigh. "It was worth a try''. Shadow thought as he put the fake crest of light away in his cloak.
Kari then looked back at Shadow and smiled at him. "Could you tell me why you helped me''. Kari asked Shadow, asking why he helped her. Shadow looked at her confused, but decided to answer. "I just can't turn away from someone needing help, especially when it's someone next to my age''. Shadow said to Kari, explaining why he helped her.
Kari smiled at Shadow's answer, making Shadow blush again. "You're a really kind person, umm…''. Kari said as she realized that she didn't know Shadow's name. Kari nervously smiled at Shadow. "I forgot to ask what's your name''. Kari said to Shadow, being honest to Shadow and laughing a little at how she forgot to ask his name.
Shadow was still blushing, but he could still smile at Kari. "Shadow''. Shadow said to Kari, telling her his name. Kari looked at Shadow, confused at his name. "That's your name''. Kari asked confused at Shadow's name. Shadow started to lose his smile as he looked at the ground. "Yeah, that's my name''. Shadow said, thinking Kari was gonna make fun of his name.
However, Kari smiled at Shadow again. "I really like your name''. Kari said with a smile, making Shadow look at her in shock. Shadow couldn't believe that Kari said that she liked his name. Shadow blushed again as he slowly smiled back at Kari.
Grimdramon was still watching and was still smirking. "Yup. Love at first sight for both Shadow and this Kari girl''. Grimdramon thought to himself, still smirking. Kari then grabbed Shadow's left hand, surprising him. "Come on Shadow. Let's play together''. Kari said dragging Shadow to a playground.
Shadow was still surprised at how nice Kari is, so he didn't say anything while Grimdramon went back into the Tree's shadows.
(3 hours later)
Shadow and Kari has spent 3 hours together, playing at the playground, talking to each other, reading Shadow's new book together, all that stuff. Kari had a fun time with Shadow, while Shadow also had fun with Kari, forgetting about his hatred, his mission and having Darkness cover the world.
Shadow actually had fun like a normal kid with Kari and felt happy. Grimdramon watched the two kids play together, while smirking at how Shadow was enjoying himself and how love was forming between the two humans.
Shadow and Kari were now seating on a bench next to the playground with the sky being dark. "I had a really great time with you, Shadow''. Kari said to Shadow, smiling with her eyes closed and her hands on her knees. Shadow smiled back at Kari. "Me too, Kari. I had lots of fun today''. Shadow said to Kari, having a great time with Kari and being a normal child for once.
Kari blushed at Shadow's words, but she kept smiling. Shadow then looked at the night sky. "It's getting late. You should go back to your home now''. Shadow said to Kari as he got off the bench, thinking Kari should head home. Kari got off as well and nodded to Shadow.
Kari then pointed at a big building that was close to the playground. "My house is up there if you ever want to visit, Shadow''. Kari said pointing at the building, telling Shadow where her house is. Shadow nodded to Kari. "Got it. See you later''. Shadow said to Kari, feeling sad that his time with Kari was over.
Kari also felt sad about her time with Shadow also over. "Will you come back here, tomorrow''. Kari asked Shadow, hoping he could come back. Shadow looked at Kari confused that she wanted him to come back, but he nodded to her. "Alright, I'll come back''. Shadow said to Kari making her smile.
"Yay''. Kari said as she hugged Shadow, making him widen his eyes, but then Kari then did something that surprised both her and Shadow.
Kari kissed Shadow on the left check.
Both Kari and Shadow blushed bright red at Kari's actions, while Grimdramon felt like laughing right now. Grimdramon was laughing because Shadow got a kiss on the check from a girl he just met.
Kari moved away from Shadow, feeling nervous now more than ever, but she smiled at Shadow. "S-s-see you tomorrow S-S-Shadow''. Kari said as she quickly left the playground, wanting to head home and just sleep to get this nervousness out of her.
Shadow was still in shock that Kari kissed his check. His heart was now beating even more then it was before. Grimdramon flew down next to his partner's side. "You are really lucky getting a kiss on the check from a cute girl''. Grimdramon said with a smirk, teasing Shadow at how he just got his first check kiss.
Shadow however didn't respond to Grimdramon. He kept looking at where Kari just ran off, still can't believing how nice Kari was and how his heart beats at just thinking about her.
"What's wrong with my heart. Why is it going so fast''? Shadow thought to himself, still looking where Kari ran off, wondering why he feels like this around Kari.
(With Kari)
Kari made it back to her house and was now in her room that she shared with Tai with her face still red from kissing Shadow on the check.
Kari even had a pillow over her head to keep Tai from seeing her face when he comes back. "Why did I kiss him on the check''. Kari thought to herself, thinking on why she kissed Shadow on the check, having no boy interest until she met Shadow. "Shadow is cute and his eyes are pretty, but I just met him and why can't he get out of my head and why is my heart beating fast''. Kari kept thinking to herself, thinking that she was too young to think about things like this, but was starting to have second thoughts.
Kari kept her pillow over her head, even till she went to sleep. Dreaming about Shadow and having more time with him, getting Kari to smile in her sleep.
(With Shadow)
Shadow and Grimdramon went back to Myotismon's base back at the small island, telling Myotismon that they didn't find the eight child. Myotismon told them that nobody else had any luck either and told the Darkness users to sleep and rest.
Shadow and Grimdramon were now walking down to their room in Myotismon's base that Myotismon said that they would rest in. While walking, Grimdramon decided to tease Shadow about Kari.
"So Shadow. What do you think about that Kari girl''? Grimdramon said to Shadow, walking next to him like a Guilmon. Shadow's face turned a little red from hearing Kari's name. "What's brought this up''. Shadow said to Grimdramon, wanting to know why Grimdramon seems interested on what he thought on Kari.
"I'm just interested. You seemed happy with that girl and looked like you were having fun with her''. Grimdramon said as he smirked at Shadow, remembering how Shadow smiled when he was with Kari.
Shadow's face was still a little red, but he smiled. "Kari's the nicest person I ever met. She didn't call me a freak or made fun of my hair and eyes. She called me her friend even though we just meet and she said she liked my eyes and hair. Kari also seems to make my hatred go away and replace it with happiness and this strange feeling''. Shadow said as he put his left hand on his chest where his heart was, telling his partner on what he thinks about Kari.
Grimdramon smirked even more from what Shadow said. "Tell me what this feeling is''. Grimdramon asked Shadow, wanting to know if Shadow really feels that way. Shadow looked at his partner with a confused look. "I feel like I have butterflies in my stomach. My heart beats very fast and I can't think of anything else, but Kari''. Shadow said to his partner, not knowing what he is feeling or what it is.
Grimdramon started to laugh, which confused Shadow. "Oh yeah. You defiantly got it for her''. Grimdramon said to his partner, still laughing while now knowing Shadow is in love with Kari. "You know what is wrong with me''. Shadow asked Grimdramon, still confused at what he was feeling. Grimdramon stopped laughing and looked at Shadow. "That's something you shouldn't worry about right now. Wait till you're older''. Grimdramon said to Shadow, thinking it will be funny when Shadow finds out what he feels for Kari.
Shadow still looked confused, but he just forgot about what he was feeling and continued walking with Grimdramon. Shadow then remembered what Grimdramon promised Gatomon. "Hey, shouldn't you go outside. You did promise that you would have some fish with Gatomon''. Shadow said to his Digimon partner, reminding him that he promised to have dinner with Gatomon.
Grimdramon's eyes widen as he remembered that he was gonna spend the night with Gatomon. "Oh crap''. Grimdramon said as he remembered. Shadow and Grimdramon's path was then blocked by a Digimon.
The Digimon blocking their path was a Digimon that looked like a wizard with his cape and hat blue with brown hair and wearing yellow clothes and had a yellow staff. "Who are you?''. Shadow said to the Digimon blocking his path. "Wizardmon''. The Digimon that was called Wizardmon said to Shadow, not sounding like a threat and more like someone passing by.
"You want something''. Grimdramon said with his eyes narrowed at how this Digimon was blocking their path. "I just want to talk''. Wizardmon said to the two Darkness users, holing his left arm up in peace. "I know this may seem hard to ask, but don't trust Myotismon''. Wizardmon said to the Darkness users with narrowed eyes, making Shadow widen his eyes, before he narrowed them.
"Why would you ask that''. Shadow said to Wizardmon, wanting to know why Wizardmon asked that. "Whatever he promised you is a lie. He just wants your power to conquer the Human world. When his done, he'll make you two his slaves''. Wizardmon said to Shadow, telling him what Myotismon has planned for him. Shadow looked down at the ground, thinking of what Wizardmon told him. "Is he telling the true? Will Myotismon just make me his slave after he conquers the human world''. Shadow thought to himself, thinking about what Myotismon will do to him after his done with the Human World.
"When the time comes where you make a decision that could lead to what your life could have, listen to your heart and You'll make the right decision''. Wizardmon said to Shadow before he looked at Grimdramon. "Promise me that You'll take care of Gatomon for me''. Wizardmon said to Grimdramon, asking him to look after his friend that saved him.
Grimdramon looked surprised that Wizardmon was asking him about Gatomon, but he nodded to Wizardmon. "I will. I won't let anything hurt her''. Grimdramon said to Wizardmon, making Wizardmon smile at the Virus Digimon's answer.
"Thank you''. Wizardmon said as he walked past them, leaving Shadow to think about what he said and Grimdramon with a promise to protect Gatomon.
Shadow and Grimdramon arrived at their room where they'll rest. Shadow looked at Grimdramon. "See ya tomorrow''. Shadow said to his partner as he entered his room and closed the door. Grimdramon then spread his wings out and took off to go outside of the bass.
Grimdramon's flight took only 5 minutes since he was really fast. Grimdramon was now outside flying to the edge of the island, looking for Gatomon.
Grimdramon saw Gatomon seating down on the sand, waiting for him. Grimdramon landed next to Gatomon. "Hey''. Grimdramon greeted Gatomon with a smile. Gatomon looked left and saw Grimdramon. "Hey yourself''. Gatomon greeted Grimdramon back as she got up from the ground.
Grimdramon and Gatomon then went fishing for Fish. Grimdramon cached 5 fish while Gatomon cached 7 fish. "I win''. Gatomon said as she cached another fish, treating this as a competition.
"Aw man''. Grimdramon said in disappointment that he lost to Gatomon. "Don't be such a bad sport''. Gatomon said as she surpassingly kissed Grimdramon on the check. Grimdramon's face turned bright red from Gatomon's surprise kiss, while Gatomon blushed a little, she still giggled.
"H-h-hey''. Grimdramon said feeling nervously. Gatomon winked at Grimdramon as she took a bit of her fish. "Just eat your dinner or I'll eat it''. Gatomon said in a teasing tone. Grimdramon quickly grabbed his fish and started to eat.
Grimdramon and Gatomon eat their dinner in peace together, enjoying their time together.
(With Shadow)
Shadow was lying down on his bed looking through his new book he got. He was really interested in it since it seems to have information about his crest of darkness.
"The user of the crest of Darkness will have the power that can do amazing abilities. The stronger the Darkness, the more power the user of the crest of Darkness will have''. Shadow said as he read his book.
One part then catch Shadow's interest. "The user of the crest of Darkness will have the power to use the Darkness to form any weapon, form objects, created wings or change your body. The stronger the Darkness, the more power you'll have''. Shadow said as he read his Book of Darkness.
Shadow then decided to give what the book said a try. Shadow then held his right arm out as he closed his eyes to focus. Shadow then felt like he was holding something, Shadow opened his eyes and his eyes widen in shock.
In Shadow's right hand was a Dark energy blade. Shadow kept looking at his energy sword in awe, before he let go of the energy blade and the blade disappeared.
Shadow looked at his right arm in awe, but then Shadow yawned as he felt sleepy. Shadow then decided to go to sleep, he would need his energy for tomorrow.
Shadow led down on his bed as he pulled the covers over him. Shadow then thought about Kari. "I don't know what this feeling is, but I can tell that you mean a lot to me. I won't let anything happen to you''. Shadow thought as he closed his eyes, knowing he cared deeply for the girl he met and would do anything to protect her.
