Glimpes of A Forgotten Past: Friend and Enemies by Child of the Faeries
Short stories about one of the most hated characters on Digimon, Jun Motimya. Why does she act the way she does? And what secrets does she hide behind her lovesick eyes?
(I know the ages aren't perfect, but bear with me, please!!!Michael is about 10, Jun and Sam are around 11, Jim is 12 or 13, and Gennai is 15 or 16. )
This is told in Jun's POV
I looked out the window of our apartment and saw that guy on the corner again. His limp brown hair hung to his shoulders, and his eyes were wild as they started back at mine.
"Mom, that boy is out there again!" I yelled as I jumped away from the window. She sighed, and closed the blind.
"I don't want you talking to him, okay Jun? Do not say a word to him." I didn't understand, being only 11 years old, but I knew that my mother knew best.
"Yes Mother." I paused, and then turned to face her. "Mom, can I take singing lessons?"
"No, Jun, you cannot. You don't have a very good voice," my mother said harshly. "And we can't afford them."
"But Mom-" I whined.
"Hurry and put on your shoes, child. We're going to be late for your haircut. Davis, get out from under the table this instant!" she yelled, grabbing hold of my five-year old brother's leg and pulling out into sight. She sighed at his impish grin and threw his shoes at him.
Several minutes later, we found ourselves sitting in a waiting room. "Hello," the boy next to me said with a large smile," My name is Michael. What's yours?"
"I'm Jun," I said shyly, smiling also. He had curly blond hair and I could see myself reflected in his clear blue eyes.
"It's a good day to get a haircut," he said idly, nodding his head. "I had to skip violin lessons, though. But that's okay." He lowered his head and whispered in my ear," Someday I'm going to be a world-famous violinist. Everyone says so."
My mother's word haunted me. My whole life I had been told that I wasn't good enough . "I think you are stupid!" I cried, and his face looked stricken. "Violins are dumb!" Angry, I stood up and walked out, leaving my mother very distrate.
Running down the streets, I found myself lost hopelessly. "Where.....where do I go?" I whispered. Nothing looked familar.
"Hey kid, are you lost or something?" a voice said, and I spun around. It was that guy again, the one with greasy hair I had seen outside the apartment.
"I'm fine," I said, gritting my teeth, stubbornness soaring from my eyes. He grinned and flicked his cigarette to the ground.
"Sure you are. You so tough and brave....." He grinned. "My name's Gennai. I've seen you before, at your apartment. And I bet..... you are lost and can't find your way home, right? I know where your house is, kid. Just follow me." He turned and started down a street, but I didn't move. I was too frightened.
"Are you coming or not?" he asked, stopping. "I bet you are going to be in big trouble when you get home, kid. The later you are, the more trouble there's gonna be waiting for you."
"My name is not kid," I said angrily, following the older kid. "It's Jun."
"Nice to meet you, Jun."
From that day on, Gennai was waiting for me when I walked home from school. We talked a lot, about our familes and such. His parents were gone- he didn't know where they where or anything. He lived on the street, stealing whatever food or clothes he needed.
I saw that Michael kid the next week in school- he gave me an evil glare as he walked by with his cloud of popular friends. Glowering with rage, I stormed away, and ran into a kid. We both went crashing to the ground, books flying everywhere.
He straightened his glasses and held out his hand. "Hi, I'm Sam. Fancy meeting you at a time like this." He grinned and I noticed how cute he was.
"Um..... hi." I giggled and stood up. "I'm so sorry I ran into you and all......"
"Hey, no damage done. It's not every day that I get run over by a beautiful girl like you," he flirted, and I felt my cheeks turning red.
"I've got to go," I squeaked out, grabbing my books and dashed away, leaving the cute boy behind.
It wasn't until I was halfway home that I realized that I had taken his address book on accident. Mortified, I stopped and Gennai gave me a weird look. "What's wrong?"
"I have to give this back to that one kid!" I yelped, and turned around. "I'm so embarrassed! I took his address book! He'll probably think I took it on purpose and then I'll feel even more dumb."
"Where does he live?" Gennai asked, thumbing through the book. He found the address and sighed. "That's uptown somewhere. The street is not familar." Glancing around, he dashed over to where a boy a couple of years older than me stood. "Hey, do you know where this street is?" he asked gruffly, and the blue-haired boy nodded nervously.
"You take the subway on line-"
"Great. Lead the way," Gennai said, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him over to me. "He is going to show us where this Sam guy lives."
"I....I will?" the boy said nervously, and Gennai nodded. " I think I'll get in trouble if I-"
"You will take us there," Gennai said, a familar fierce look in his eyes, and the boy jumped.
"All right," he said nervously. "Come this way."
"What's your name?" I asked, peering at the boy. He held his book close to him, afraid we were going to hurt him or something.
"Jim. Jim Kido," he said weakly. "What's yours?"
"Jun," I said with a wink.
We arrived at Sam's apartment building, and Gennai led the way to Sam's apartment. He knocked on the door, and I held Sam's address book, ready to give it to him as soon as he opened the door.
Instead, a kindly-looking woman answered the door with a smile. "Hello. You must be some of Sam's friends from school!" she exclaimed, pulling us inside. "He's in his room, just head in there, he won't mind."
"Um....no.....we're..." I tried to say, but she had already opened Sam's bedroom door.
"Sam, a couple of your friends came to visit," she said, pushing us inside. Sam looked up from his computer and our eyes met. He smiled, and I felt myself grinning back.
"You." I turned to see where the voice was coming from and froze. Michael. The kid I hated. "Why are YOU here?"
"I accidently......took Sam's address book," I said, fumbled for words. Sam laughed,and I could see Gennai chortling from the corner of my eye.
"Thank you for returning it," Sam said, and I walked over to hand him the book. As our hands touched, the computer screen flashed brightly.
"What's going on?" the Jim kid exclaimed, backing against the door. The room filled with light....... and suddenly we weren't in Sam's room anymore. Numbers and colors flashed past us, like a dream.
Suddenly I hit the bottom and groaned as I sunk to the grass, my head spinning. Beside me landed Gennai, his string of profanities heard everywhere. Sam hit the ground a few feet from us, and Jim collapsed near a tree. Michael fell into a lake, and I couldn't keep from laughing when he wandered up to us, bedraggled and wet.
"Where are we?" Jim whispered, fear in his eyes.
"You're in the Digital World," a voice whispered from behind us. "You five are the Digi-Destinied, destined to save our world."
