Davis's opening Narration: Takato and Kazu have now met Henry. I wonder how the people in seventh grade will feel about Henry presenting to the whole class. I hope he just keeps it under control and doesn't let what anybody else says get in his way. I'm pretty sure he will be just fine. Another thing we should mention is the fact that Takato met his new digimon Guilmon for a moment just now. This is all going to be very interesting. Hopefully that man in the building Yamaki turns out to be good. And that Rika isn't as bad as she was led out to be at first. Now I'm curious to see how these all turn out.
Chapter 2: Digimon All Over the Place
Takato was staring at the Guilmon, a little surprised. He didn't know what to say. "Guilmon. What if this is the death of me? I created a digimon, and now it's here and I don't know what to do. I'm just stuck here. What if I'm not even the one meant for Guilmon? My god, why am I saying all this in front of it?" Takato freaked out, and Guilmon smelled him. Then held its head to the side, creating a smile on its face
"Takatomon." Guilmon said, and Takato moved his head back a couple inches back. Then he held his hand out, and touched Guilmon on the head. "Let's play a game now."
"You already know my name? Just don't call me Takatomon. Only call me Takato, and we will be fine. You don't want to eat me." Takato hugged Guilmon, and realized something else. "Wait, I have to head to school now. I don't even know what time it is." He got up, and started walking away. Then remembered Guilmon. "Wait, I need to keep you some place safe." Then Guilmon pointed at a box. Takato sighed in relief.
"Takatomon, what is that? Can I play with it for now?" Takato nodded excitedly. Then put the box over Guilmon, and led the box over to the wall.
"If you can stay in here until I come back, we will play for a while. But I have to leave you alone for a while. Sorry for having to ditch you the first time we see each other. But I will be back, I promise it." Takato said, and started running in the area of the school. He kept running until he reached the entrance of the school, with sweat covering his entire face. He wiped it off, and stood there for a moment. Then he checked the time. There was one minute until Gym class. He didn't want to run again, but he ran to the Gym classroom anyways. The bell rang right as he ran in. Making him just a couple seconds late. Mr. Mori looked at him. Then took some notes on his attendance sheet.
"You know, it was only by a couple seconds. I will still mark you on time. Just don't go do this every day and we will be fine." Mr. Mori told Takato, and that left Takato sighing in relief. Kazu and Kenta both looked at him. But didn't make any comments. Instead, they let Takato sit next to them. Then Mr. Mori looked at all the students. As if ready to start his lecture.
"We will have twenty minutes of Long Jump today. Since it's been a month since we done that last. We will record the scores, and take the other hour doing the notes I said. Next class is the test and next class will be us getting ready for the third quarter final. Where we review every thing we learned in these last nine weeks." Mr. Mori said, and led them to the long jump pit. So the students could get their scores.
In the building Hypnos was at across town, the two main female got a report. "Yamaki! We got a new report." The younger blonde one called out, and their boss Yamaki came out to her what the report was about. He put on some sunglasses to block the sun from his eyes.
"What is this report that needs to so desperately given to me?" Yamaki asked, and saw that there was another red blur on the mini screen. "Another digimon showed up? How is this possible?"
"Yes something did and we don't know how that happened. What do you want us to do about it master?" The other red headed female worker asked, and Yamaki played with his lighter for a little bit. Putting his hand on his head rubbing it.
"Do your thing. Examine that mini screen until the end of your shift. I will stop digimon from coming here even if I have to go out personally and take care of them myself. I will check out one of the sites in a couple days from now. But I will write a report on today's progress to this point. Go back to your work." Yamaki said, and walked away from the females. Going to his work table, opening up his work journal and writing something down. This was what it read so far.
March 1940
It has been reported quite a few times over the last couple days that digimon have been coming here. I will stop this if I have to do it myself. Maybe a program will be the thing to do it. I have a feeling that my workers don't believe me. I don't know if I should believe in myself yet.
Yamaki put the journal away and walked down the stairs. To check up on the other workers on what they are doing and how they are doing. One thing he does care about if his workers, and he wanted to show that to them.
Takato and the rest of the gym class went outside to the long jump pit and lined up to get their jump ready. Mr. Mori had his paper out, ready to write out all the scores down. Then he let the first person go. "Just come check me when you are done so I can get the results."
When Takato had his turn, he took the jump. He went across about a little more than half the pit. He check the measurements and told Mr. Mori what he got. "I got about seven feet and four inches." Takato said, and Mr. Mori wrote the results down.
"Thanks, now you can wait until everybody else is done before we go back up." Mr. Mori said, and Takato walked away. Kazu and Kenta got their results and told Takato what they had.
Kazu had eight feet two inches and Kenta had six feet eleven inches. Then Jeri was the last person in class to take her jump. Of course, she got the highest score. "Mr. Mori, I got eleven feet seven inches." Jeri told the teacher, and he wrote down all the results. Then they walked back to class. Takato looked at Jeri as she walked by him, and checked her out when she was right in front of him.
Once back inside the gym, Mr. Mori told them to take some review notes that would help them get ready for the unit test the next class period. He gave them all lectures for the rest of class and they just had to listen to what he was saying.
When class was over, everybody hit the locker rooms and took their after class showers. After the showers were done, everybody went to their second period class. Takato was able to reach Ms. Kaimi History class with one minute left before class and his teacher was clearing the board getting ready for this class and what she was going to be presenting to them.
When the bell rang, she turned towards the class and started talking to them in her normal lecture way. "Okay class, let's get all our notebooks out and I have a new project that you will all be starting next class. But here are the rules to the project that I will go through now." Then she wrote the name of the project on the chalkboard. Kazu looked at Takato and said something quietly.
"Does this mean the Medieval unit is almost over?" Kazu asked, and the teacher looked at him. Giving a response to his question.
"No Kazu. There are still a couple lessons left. We will be working on this project a little bit a day every day until we reach the end of the unit. But this is the biggest project that you will have for the unit. Now I will continue describing the work that I expect of you." The teacher said, started writing stuff on the chalkboard again.
"So you will be working with one student in class to make a presentation to us about all that you learned throughout the unit. You will be spending the rest of class getting to know each other before we start learning about what I want you to do. Because I feel that when you get partners for a project, you should at least get one class to learn about each other" Ms. Kaimi told them, and started writing all the duos out on the board.
Takato was wanting Jeri and he was thinking about it the whole time. Then when he saw the list, he was shocked when Kazu was paired with Jeri. Kenta was paired with this random Victoria girl. While Takato was paired with a man named Cameron.
"Okay guys meet your partners now and spend the rest of class talking about what you want for the rest of the period. Next class, we will be learning about what I expect on the project." Ms. Kaimi told them, and let them off for the partners get to know each other.
Takato walked over to Cameron's seat. Takato knew a little bit about Cameron, and he was thinking about all that.
He was two years older than anybody else in the rest of the seventh grade. By being held back twice. It was made obvious by his height and the beard on his face. It was also apparent that he didn't really care about his facial hair. Nobody was surprised when he admitted he was held back twice. One person in their grade level even said 'Dude, it was so obvious. Nobody is remotely surprised by this fact.' However, despite Takato knowing a bit about the guy, he never really spoke with the guy. So this was a new experience for both Takato and Cameron.
"Hey Takato this is a new experience for us. So how about I ask you something. Is there somebody in your grade that you like?" Cameron asked, and Takato didn't answer. But Cameron noticed Takato giving a short glance at Jeri, and he picked up on the idea then.
"I get it. You don't like how she's working with one of your friends, don't you? I know this. I know that you and that guy and that other person in the class with the glasses are your friends. I am more observant than anybody gives me credit for." Cameron said, and Takato gave him a interested look. Like he wondered what Cameron had to say about all this.
"Don't you have any friends that you hang out with?" Takato asked, and Cameron shook his head.
"I don't really in this grade. But let me give you some advice. As somebody who I think can use it. I know you can use it." Cameron said, pulling out a note book. With a pencil, and started writing stuff down.
Somewhere else in the city, a imp looking creature was looking around to see what was in it. He was flicking his fingers around back and fourth as is he was doing a musical tune in his mind. That was until he came to the park and found some kids playing there. That was when he froze, and stared at the children. They reminded him so much of his former owners.
One was a boy who looked abut eight or nine playing with a girl that looked six or seven. He assumed that they were brother or sister. Then he was taken to a memory.
It was when he was in his house, and his two owners wanted to fight for him. Pulling at his arms, and they kept pulling. Pulling, pulling, and pulling until he was tempted to scream. Then they let him go and he laid on the ground in pain from the shoulder to the tip of his hand. The people left the room, and he was there on the ground crying for a moment. This was what his daily life was exactly like.
Both the children at the park saw him, which took him out of his thoughts. They both walked up to him, as if interested to what he was or had to say to them.
"Is that a pet that somebody lost?" The girl asked, and the imp looking creature held both his hands up. Taken back by what she said. Then he held one of his fingers up as if ready to correct her.
"No I am not a pet. My name is Impmon thank you very much. Now let me ask you a question. Why are you out with your parents not around. Go back home before you get in trouble. Or better yet, something spooky scares you." Impmon introduced himself, doing the ha ha thing when you have your thumbs on your head and the rest of your fingers are moving your fingers around mockingly. The kids at Impmon, and the boy answered his question.
"Our grandparents are going to be picking us up. In about a hour or so. Maybe you can stay here for a while and play." The boy said, and Impmon remained silent. He wasn't able to register the idea that kids wanted to hang out with him. He put his left hand on his head, as if he was about to hide a tear or two.
"No I can't. Please don't take it harshly. I need to be alone." Impmon replied, walking away from them. The girl looked at the boy, and neither of them quite understood what that was about.
Impmon was walking down the streets, kicking some trash on the ground away from him. Then reached the light pole at the end of the street, and took a seat. "Nobody would ever love me. This is not feeling, but truth. Maybe if I look hard enough, I can find out what is truly right for me. Maybe I can get power. Be more powerful than the rest. Or perhaps I am just supposed to walk the streets alone until I see something. It might be worth a try." Impmon said, and got up to walk some more down the streets. Hoping to get no distractions.
In the History classroom, Cameron finished writing the thing he was writing down on the paper. Then he started telling Takato the details of all that he wrote down.
"This is what I have to say about peoples relationships with females. I will deeper into this than a lot of people will. If you ever want to admit that you like her, don't just do it right now sort of thing. Wait until you think there is a good time to tell her. When you think she would need it. When you think that you might not be able to hide it. But never just say it in front of people boldly. Always do it with just the two of you. Now I will go a little further into this. This may sound unrelated to what we are talking about, but it was related. You are curious what the most powerful weapon ever is. I have the answer, it is love. This may sound silly, but this is why. Love can be something that can either make somebody happy, or be the most sad person on Earth is it breaks. Love can make a person do many things. It can make you do things for good for that person. Or it can make somebody do something terrible for that person. So you can make you do great or terrible things. Love has a great power to it that nobody ever uses. You might not see it, but love is the most dangerous or possibly the greatest thing ever created. That is why say for example in Greek myths, Aphrodite is actually the most powerful god or goddesses and not something like Zeus. But maybe I'm going a little deep into it. But that is what I mean." Cameron explained, and Takato listened to what he said.
"Makes it sound like you were in a failed relationship before." Takato said, and Cameron looked at the paper not responding for a bit.
"I don't really want to talk about that. But what I said earlier is why you should never fall in love this young. For one thing you don't really know what it truly is. Then you can lose it and it will destroy you beyond repair and you can do crazy things. So my advice is to not really to believe in that until you are older. Just what I said." Cameron told Takato, and shrugged. Then Takato was thinking of what else he could say.
"Thanks for saying that. I never really looked at that." Takato said and Cameron patted him at the shoulder.
"You're welcome. I think through all that conversation, that class might be close to being over." Cameron replied, and then a couple minutes later the bell rang for class to be over. So Cameron was right about that.
Then Takato walked on over to the next class with Kazu right next to him. He was talking to Takato about that project.
"That talk with Jeri was interesting. Maybe this project won't be a complete disaster. She was talking to me about her friends and I talked a little bit for everything that she said." Kazu told Takato, and he was thinking about how he didn't get Jeri as his partner. Which he found to be disappointing.
Once at Math class, the teacher closed the door when the bell for tardy rung. Then he put the warm up on the board for the students to do. "Let's spend about five to ten minutes on that." He said, and so everybody in class did that. So the teacher went over the answers of the warm up and everybody gave him the papers. Then he put the papers on his desk for him to correct that night.
"Okay class now let's go into the classes lesson." He said, and then he started writing what he wanted to teach the students on the board for everybody to take notes on. Then he started to give his lecture.
Kazu actually took out his notes and started writing stuff down. Showing that he was doing his work for once in front of the class. Takato raised his hand. "Sir, when is the next piece of homework for this class? Can I have some of my missing work from the quarter before?" Takato asked, and the teacher looked like he was about to get mad over Takato interrupting his lecture, then he grew a smile on his face.
"I might as well. Thanks for asking, now I feel like you are slowly showing changes with your study habits." The teacher replied, and got some work from a cabinet with all the work in the quarter. Then he handed Takato all his missing stuff. "Remember, just turn this all in by the end of the quarter for everything to count. In fact, I might as well give everybody the new work before I continue my lecturing."
Then the teacher started handing out the new work for everybody and went back to the front of the board to continue his lesson. That lasted the rest of class. He was talking about ratios and that was what the assignment was about for that class period. Like usual, it was due by the end of the unit. Unlike most Math teachers, he didn't make students turn in the work until the unit test was finished then he graded them all at once. Instead of one at a time.
Then at the end of class, everybody left and the teacher called Kazu for a moment. It wasn't to criticize him or anything. "Thanks for taking notes today. Maybe you are taking a step in the right direction." Then he said something to the rest of class. "Thank you all for showing up today. See you next class." Then everybody walked out of the class to head to lunch. Kazu looked a tad happy because of what the teacher said.
"I can't believe he actually talked to me about that. Nice to see that the teachers noticed." Kazu said, and then Kenta showed up to them. He looked mind blown. Takato was curious what the look was for.
"I just had my English class now. That Henry guy showed up and gave the most amazing class lecture. It will blow your mind. That punk girl that you saw had the card game yesterday Kazu was also in my English class. He gave amazing advice, and a great back story. Trust me it was amazing. I'm going to be telling my mom about it when I get home." Kenta said, and they were now in the lunch room. Getting their food from the line, and then sitting down for the eating. They heard the punk girl Rika talking with her friends as they sat down on the other side of the table.
"Rika what did you think of that English presentation? That guy Henry was actually pretty good looking right? Or am I the only one who thought that?" One of her female friends said, and Rika shrugged.
"Yeah sure he good looking but that doesn't substitute for making a long and dragged out speech. Like people would care over what his back story was. We're never really going to see him again. He's going to be a idiot who goes and fights in the war and dies. Kind of deserves it." The punk girl Rika said and was eating her food. That was when the Henry guy Kazu and Takato noticed in the morning walked into the lunch room. When he got the lunch, he heard Kenta calling his name.
"Henry want to sit here?" Kenta asked, and Henry barely saw anybody else wanting to have him there. So he decided to go sit next to them for the lunch period. Then Jeri came over and scared Henry with the sock puppet.
Out in the city at a different place from Impmon there was the cute little white creature skipping around the place. Just having tons of fun. "This is so much fun! I don't see why no digimon has known of this amazing place." It said, and tripped a little bit. Then got back up, and started skipping again.
The white creature was named Calumon. It had a wild sense of humor and it showed when it was playing with digimon in the digital world. But it had no clue why it was sent to this place despite thinking it was a lot of fun.
While skipping down a little while longer, Calumon ran into Impmon. It got a strange tilt on its face. Like it didn't understand what it was doing out. "What are you?" Calumon asked. "My name is Calumon."
"My name is Impmon. You don't really look like the type that would scare the average folk. That is until I will start teaching you some things. If you would accept, I can start teaching things I know. It will be amazing." Impmon said, and Calumon didn't want to learn how to fight or anything. It just wanted a good playing buddy.
"Sorry Impmon but I don't want to learn something from you. I just want some play time and some food afterwards." Calumon said, and started skipping away. While Calumon was skipping away, Impmon was left to think alone once again.
"I hate how nobody would even listen to me." Impmon said, agitated. Then jumped down. That was when he started walking away alone once again.
Calumon was going around a little bit and was near the school property. While it didn't go inside the building, it stopped to look at what the building structure was like for a moment. After some kids noticed it, and started going in its direction, Calumon ran off. Not wanting to be caught by them. Because it looked like the people wanted to do more than just play around.
Once reaching a light pole, Calumon stopped to take a break for a bit. "Why do things not pick on stuff their own size? It's so unfair. I but I would have been used as a bouncy ball if I didn't get out then." Calumon said, and closed its eyes for a short nap when getting out of sight to one of the bushes near the school.
At the lunch room, Henry moved his body back a couple inches. Then got a smile on his face. "I decided to have lunch with all the seventh graders today. That was clever of you. I had yet to see somebody scare with a sock puppet." He said, and then sat back down. Then saw what his problem in this was.
"Sorry, my name is Henry. Henry Kido. I forgot to introduce myself to you all. I will take questions now, but if you don't mind, I would like them to wait to wait until your turn." Then Henry saw Kenta. "Wait, I know you. I think you were the one who asked questions the entire class. Let me guess your name. Was it Kenta?" Henry told that to Kenta directly. Kenta nodded, and held his hand out.
Henry shook it, and replied "Thanks." Then he started to them having fun with the conversation.
"This is really interesting. I forgot what being in middle school was like. Thanks for helping me truly remember again. I remember that teacher you're talking about. She was something else." Henry replied, and Kazu added in something to the conversation.
"Hey Henry, have you ever dated anybody before?" Kazu asked, and Jeri gave him a strange look.
"Leo doesn't understand why you are asking this." Jeri told Kazu, and snapped the puppets mouth open and close for a bit. Then Henry had a laugh.
"Yes, once. it lasted for a few weeks. But we broke up because she was moving out of town. I don't feel bad about it or anything." Henry said and Jeri wanted to ask him something.
"Hey Henry do you have any family members?" Jeri questioned, and Henry shrugged.
"Yes I live with my mother and father. I also have a younger sister. She's only eight." Henry replied, and Takato said something to Henry that wasn't a question.
"You will be presenting to me at the fifth period class. I will be interested to see what you have to say. It will be interesting to hear your presentation." Takato said, and that was when the punk girl Rika had enough of them being as loud as they were.
"Can you please be quiet? You are all being very loud." She snapped, and went back to her card game organizing. That was Henry got up to throw the food away.
"I will be back soon. Just have to throw this out." Henry told them, and headed to the trash bin. Then Kenta said something to the three sitting next to him.
"You know, I sort of had my doubts. But that guy's funny." Kenta told them, and Jeri nodded. Then Jeri moved her hand back and fourth like her sock was also agreeing.
That was when four guys tapped Kenta on the back. Kenta turned around, and one of them lifted him up. "What is it with you wanting to learn about that guy in detail? He's just a guest visitor. That's all he will ever be. Guess I shouldn't expect much more from a mamas boy." The one holding Kenta said, and dropped him on the ground. Henry stood next to the trash can in shock. He hated violence, so seeing this made him stop.
Kazu was already balling his fists together. He hated these people so much. They were the four most annoying, biggest jackasses, and worst seventh grade guys in the entire school. Or anywhere else on the planet. They were named Brett, Conner, Max, and Christopher. The leader, the one who was grabbing Kenta was Christopher.
"How about you pick on people your own size?" Kazu got up walking to them. Everybody in the table looked up. Even Rika, and most of the other people in the lunch room also started looking up.
"You know Kazu, you might be cool if you stopped hanging out with these losers." Brett said, and Kazu shook his head.
"There is nothing cool abut you four. All you do is pick on people, smoke pot after school every day, and act like you're the gods of our class! Well you know what, you're the lowest this class has to offer. You're all just a bunch of asses." Kazu said, and none of the teachers even tried to stop him from saying this. Instead, they sat down on the teacher table interested on the turnout.
"Like you're any better." Max told him, and Kazu nodded. Part of his teeth showing.
"I'm better than you will ever be. Want to know why? Because at least I'm a jerk who always goes around liking like everybody's clear superior." Kazu brought his fists together. Like he excited for what he was able to say. "Go ahead, make your move. You know, how about this? If I win, you should not pick on anybody I hang out with for the rest of the year. You win, and you can harass me and my friends all you want and I won't do anything about it." Christopher got a surprised look on his face.
"You're proposing a fight?" Christopher asked, and Kazu nodded. "I accept. So obvious we're going to win. I mean, one against four."
Kazu took off his shirt, and put it on the ground. "My father told me that I should always do that at the start of a real fight." Then Brett ran at him, ready to punch him. When he did, Kazu fell on the ground. This was part of the plan though.
"That was stupid. You didn't even try." Brett said, as Kazu got up. While he got himself up, he took the chance to make his move. He pushed Brett to the ground, and punched him once in the chest really hard. Brett didn't even try to get up.
"You see, I win already. Because you made the first move, even if I lose in the actual fight, I win because I can say it was defense. I was smarter than you. Fights are won by brains, not strength." Kazu told the three others, as Conner advanced at him.
Right when Conner was about to hit him, Kazu grabbed his right arm. Bringing him down to submission by slamming him down to the ground. Then gave a final kick, and Conner didn't even try to do anything then.
"Don't let anger be a part of your tactics. One person who taught me many things said that anger will make you lose more than anything. All it will do is hurt your performance." Kazu gave more of a 'lesson' to the people he was fighting. Then Max ran to him.
Kazu kicked him in the chest. Then Max fell down, and couldn't get up. "Ow." Max said, and Kazu looked at Christopher.
"It has been proven that kicks are more powerful than punches. It was the right thing to do." Kazu said, and Christopher tried to keep his anger from showing. He didn't play with the idea that anger would make him fail. But he didn't to give Kazu any satisfaction. Kazu waved him over.
"Do you want me to continue. We could call it off now." Kazu said and then Christopher went at him.
Kazu grabbed Christopher in the chest, and slammed his whole body onto Kazu's own body. With the hard impact, and him dropping Christoper on the ground, Kazu had a chance to end it off. He kicked him at the side. Christoper said something under his breath. "You will pay for this." He said, and Kazu decided to add even more to the insulted defeat. He went into Christopher's pocket, pulled out the box of cigars. Then lit one, and smoked it. When it was half way down, he threw the still burning cigar onto Christoper.
"Just keep talking." Kazu put his shirt back on, and everybody in the lunch started clapping at his performance. Everybody hated those kids, so it was worth celebrating when they were put in their place. He walked back to the rest of his table. Rika looked impressed for a second, but got over it. One of the girls in the lunch room ran up to him.
"That was impressive. Do you want to tell how you did it?" She asked. "My name is Peggy." Kazu shook his head.
"No not really. I don't really want to go into it. Sorry." Kazu replied, and she nodded. Then walked off. But as she did, she looked back at him for a moment having a smile on her face.
The lunch period was over, and Takato got up to get to his class. Kenta went with him right away. Before Kazu could leave, Henry decided to talk with him alone.
Jeri followed Takato and Kenta all the way to their Science class. "That was pretty awesome. But I hope he never does any of that again. I always thought of him as the nice innocent type. Not that I can see he can hold himself darn well in a fight, I'm worried that a person I have grown to accept as a nice hello and see you later guy is secretly hiding something. I just want him to give into something wrong. Maybe I'm looking at this too deep." Jeri said, and Kenta agreed with her pretty much exactly. Takato was also thinking of that, but for different reasons.
At the door to class, Jeri walked away Takato walked in first. Before Kenta walked in, he made sure Melissa was in there, so he could make his shirt nicer for her. He wanted to look his best every class. With that, Kenta went inside the room to sit next to Takato. After about a minute of waiting, class bell rang and the lesson started like normal.
"Now this class I will teach about what Takato was curious about yesterday, what all things in air consist of. So get ready to take some notes for this lesson. I think this will taking up the entire class." She started writing all the materials on the board. Since Takato wrote all the stuff on there, so he would get the answer to his question that he asked the day prior.
"The highest thing in the Earth's air is Nitrogen. That has a total of 78.084% of the entire atmosphere. Next highest thing in the atmosphere is Oxygen, which 20.946% of the air we breath. Argon is the next highest. However, if you do the math, all other gases are less than one percent of the atmosphere. So Argon takes a total of 0.9340% of the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is next with 0.0397% of the atmosphere. Neon is followed up with 0.001818% of the atmosphere. Helium follows up is Helium taking up 0.000524% of the atmosphere. Lastly in the air is Methane taking up 0.000179% of the atmosphere." The teacher told them, and Takato nodded. He actually thought that was all cool to find out. He almost copied that entire thing by each word she said.
Kenta took the notes to, because he felt he had to. Plus, Takato knew of Melissa. She even looked up at Kenta. Takato had the idea that she was now starting to look a little impressed. Kenta didn't see it, but Takato had the idea that this note taking was starting to pay off.
She sat down, and sighed. As if she was going to start speaking again. "I'm not quite sure how all these numbers have been found by research. This must have taken a really long time. But either way, I found this out by reading the textbooks I have in the class and doing additional looking up. So that was all nice and fun to talk about."
Takato put the pencil down and the teacher continued lecturing all the details that made these percentages possible. Along with all the benefits that went along these parts. Even the smallest amount still had a purpose with this. So Takato didn't feel like he had been ripped off by requesting a lesson like this.
Then the passing bell rang, and Takato got up to head to the next class. Kenta walked up to Takato to say something to him.
"That Henry guy is going to talk to you next class. It will be awesome. I think he actually got to me. Maybe I will start doing the work that teachers give us. Possibly. I haven't decided yet. But he made me consider it." Kenta said, and he headed off. Then Takato came back to the English class. When he came to class, he sat next to Jeri. Henry was interacting with the English teacher. Talking with her until the bell rang for class to begin.
"I wonder what Henry has to say." Jeri told Takato, and Henry walked to the front of the class. Ready to present again but to their class instead.
"Even if you guys might know this fact, my name is Henry. I want to talk to you all. Just pretend like this is a conversation between just you and me. I am going to use this chalk board to give you all visuals and you can keep on top of the things I say." Henry started his presentation. Writing his name on the chalk board.
"You might be wondering, why am I here? You may think it's to tell you how to get all A's, but that is not the case. I want to tell you a story of mine. You may call it a large portion of my life. To be a good student, there is more than just passing all classes to it. There is pure honestly, opening yourself to some of your problems. Doing your best at everything that is presented to you. Those are just three of them, and I will write them up." Henry wrote those three simple words on the chalk board.
"Fourth and most important is facing a strong challenge and being able to overcome it. I will tell you of my challenge and was able to overcome it." He wrote tough challenge on the board. "There are some small details I will explain. First was for a few years of my life, my mother and I were really forced to develop together well and I barely got anytime with my father. That was because he had a huge job that he had to do and it took a few years before he could find time to be with us. That was until I was five. For so many years, I have been used to being the only child, and was growing used to it. When I was liking it, I found out that my mother was having a baby. Not that long later, my little sister Suzy was born. I was already eight at the time, and that was eight years ago." Then he wrote all those details on the board. Like 'Father being gone a long time until I was five. Was the only child until I was eight. Little sister Suzy is eight.'
"So I had to spend a few years coping with the fact that I had this younger sister. Not that it was a sister but as much of the fact that I have a sibling. I was doing decently at school as a odd result of having this sister. I don't quite get it myself honestly either. But I didn't complain about it. It was when I was about eleven or twelve, maybe even ten when things really took a turn for me. One day, I by mistake went into this old mans house. He talked to me as if I was a proper child of his, and gave me a interesting story to tell. His name was Davis, and he said that he had this world in his mind that he has been working around with for his entire life almost. It was like really high fantasy. So advanced when you compare it how we are today. It had these strange digital life creatures and a large description of all the settings. It sounds like he even went inside. Which makes sense when you think about it. Because if it's his imaginary world, then he's been in it on his mind before. At the end of the visit, he gave me this stuffed animal named Terriermon. Saying that he was about 87 at that point, and he was going to die soon. With this world with him. So he decided that I can help rebuild it when he died I still go to his place every once in a while. Just so we could check up on each others progress. He was really cool and interesting person. He told me of his oldest child, which is a master in the arts of martial arts. I went to that child to learn from them. Not on the ways of the arts, but on the ways of being able to maintain personal thoughts and never giving into my emotions when the situation demands it. It helps sooth me when I need it, and it helps me avoid getting into fights when I know I could possibly get into them otherwise. But meeting this Davis man changed my ways of thinking in a large way. It made me get more focused in my studies. Pay more attention to my sister Suzy. Get along with my parents more. It just helped me get better at everything. I had made many mistakes since then, and they each helped me progress." Henry still was writing all this down and nearly half the board was covered up with the notes. He was so lost on his speech and these were only parts of it. But by that point, the class bell rang and the school day was over.
Everybody was getting up, and Henry went up to the English teacher. "I will be going around here again tomorrow so I can check up on the area more. Sort of like a revisit dedicated to just checking everything out. I got permission from my teachers to do it." Henry told the teacher, and she nodded in excitement.
"That's going to be great." The teacher said, and then Henry walked out of the classroom. Jeri was sitting at her desk, as if she were thinking about something personal.
"Jeri, is anything going on?" Takato asked, and Jeri shook her head.
"Just have to head home alone. I have been having to do that several times in the last few days. Before you ask, I will be fine. I don't need a person to walk me home. Maybe another day." Jeri replied, and Takato nodded. Having a small blush come out of his face. When he was about to walk out of the classroom, he wanted to tell her something.
"Jeri, want to head to my bakery home someday? My birthday is April 27." Takato asked, and Jeri looked up at him. She had a slight smile on her face. After a couple seconds of no answer, she answered him.
"I wouldn't mind doing that. That's eighteen days after my birthday. My is April 9." Jeri said, and Takato was happy when he left the school.
After walking a bit alone, he remembered Guilmon. So he ran all the way to the place in the alleyway that the Guilmon was waiting for him. When Takato reached the place, it was still hiding in the box.
"Takatomon, can we play a little bit?" Guilmon asked, and Takato nodded. So the two started playing.
"We can have fun for a little bit. You know, I did promise that I would when I was out from school." Takato replied, and he thought of Jeri. He knew that he should have walked with her home. But she insisted on him not to. So he didn't.
While Takato was playing with Guilmon, Yamaki at the Hypnos building was looking at the screen again. He saw the red flash, and groaned under his breath. "Not again. Another digimon is here. It's called Goblimon. A rookie leveled digimon. Nothing too bad, but I still think that we should take care of this problem." Yamaki said, and shook his head. "Why are they never leaving us alone anymore? It's like with the war, they are attracted to this place." Yamaki walked down the stairs again. The girl with the red hair looked at him. Then along with the blond haired girl, she started working with the effects on the screen again.
Several hours had passed when Takato walked back home with Guilmon still in the box. While Takato was walking up the stairs, he couldn't help but notice just how heavy Guilmon was. He couldn't help but wonder if all digimon were like this. His father called out for his name. Takato put the box in his room, then came back out to hear what he was saying.
"Were you calling my name?" Takato asked, and his father nodded.
"I was just going to say that dinner is going to be ready. Also, what was that box that you had with you? And why are you home so late?" His father asked, and Takato had to come up with a excuse for what he was doing.
"I was doing school stuff, and that box is for a school project." Takato answered, and his dad nodded. He wasn't expecting anything was wrong. It sounded reasonable enough. Takato sat down to eat the dinner that was prepared by his mother.
About half a hour later, Takato put some of the bread that was made in his pocket and got our of his seat. "Thank you mom for the great food as always. Can I be excused?"
"Yes Takato you may leave the table. You're welcome for saying that you liked my food." Takato's mother said, and then Takato left to go back to his room.
When Takato was in his room, he removed the box from Guilmon. "Remeber, be quiet. If my mother comes in and sees you, see will freak out and force you to leave." Takato told Guilmon, and then he thought of it. "How about this, we are still able to hang out every day and I will let you stay here tonight, but tomorrow I will find a new place for you to be. So neither of my parents would notice you here and we can stick together longer."
"Okay Takatomon whatever you say." Guilmon said, and Takato gave the Guilmon the bread that he put in his pocket.
"Just for you." Takato said, and was thinking to himself a little. "To think that I have a actual digimon now. It's just amazing." He didn't know how else to react to this amazing occurrence. It was getting late, and Takato decided to do some homework. "Okay Guilmon, you can play a little bit in my room, but I need to try to do some of my schoolwork." He said, getting to his study table. He took his work out, and started to do the assignments.
After about a hour of doing his work, Takato was going to go to bed. He did a couple Math pieces and some of his other class work. He put all the work in his back pack and he would turn it in when he had the chance. Then he turned the chair around to see Guilmon. Then he took his cards out and thought that he should explain these terms now.
"Guilmon, can we speak for a second?" Takato asked, and Guilmon smiled happy that Takato was now paying attention to it.
"Sure thing Takatomon. What do you need to talk about?" Guilmon asked, and Takato sat down on the ground and laid the cards out on the floor.
"This game is called Digimon Tamers. The idea is that humans have digimon partners and we raise them. Seeing as I'm a human, and you're a real digimon, we are actually bringing this card game to life. You are my digimon, and I am your tamer. That is all I really wanted to say." Takato explained, getting on his bed. "You can sleep with me on the bed tonight." Guilmon accepted, and got into the bed with Takato. Then Takato looked up at the ceiling. Thinking of Jeri and her face on the ceiling, he turned to his side. "Sorry why can't I stop thinking about Jeri? Yes she's great, but i need to stop thinking of her when I start going to sleep."
When Takato was asleep, he dreamt of similar things that he did the night prior. It was out on the city again and he saw that white creature with the red triangle on its forehead walking around. It saw a couple making out, and it jumped up next to them.
"Did you get that for me?" The girl asked when she saw the creature. Then the shite creature got a confused look look on their face.
"Hey if you want to defeat her, shouldn't you open you mouth wider so you can suck her in. It's called simple battle moves." The white creature said, and both the people looked oddly at it, then ran away screaming. The white creature felt sad that they ran away from it.
Another place in the dream he saw the same girl with that digimon called Renamon walking around the place. Looking for more digimon to fight. "We need to find more. You have to digivolve. When are you going to do it?" The punk girl Rika said, and the Renamon was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry Rika that I'm disappointing you. I am waiting for when the time is right. Or else it will seem improper." Renamon replied, and Rika gave her a angry look. Rika wasn't pleased with that attitude.
The two found a digimon. Rika put her device up to see what it was. The device read out what it was. "Goblimon, rookie level." Rika laughed at that. This was silly.
"Rookie level, what's the sport on that? Renamon stomp all over it." Rika said and Renamon walked forward to the Goblimon.
"My pleasure Rika." Renamon gave into her humans command and then shot a attack at her. "Diamon Storm!" It hit the Goblimon, and the Goblimon was moving around trying to get the diamonds off of it. Then the Goblimon started glowing. Then it digivolved to a higher form. Rika put her device out again.
"Fugamon, champion level." The device told Rika, and that was when Rika decided to go through her cards to find the ones that would work best. When she found her choice, she swiped the card through the device.
"Digimodify! Hyperspeed Activate!" Rika yelled, and Renamon ran fast at the Fugamon.
"Diamond Storm!" Renamon yelled, and it was being done twice as fast as Renamon would normally go. Then the Fugamon blew up, and the data got sucked into Renamon.
"Yes Renamon. One victory closer to being stronger. One victory closer to digivolving." Rika said, and then the two walked away from the place. Going back home for the night. Impmon was watching this.
"Pathetic. Humans and digimon working together. Sickens me. The idea that this should be allowed." Impmon coughed, and jumped down the tree. Going a different direction so it wouldn't have to see Rika and Renamon.
Takato woke up and saw that it was now daytime. He remembered what what he had said to Guilmon. "Let's find a hiding place for you. Maybe the same place as we did yesterday." Takato said, and walked down his stairs. Getting some more bread in his pocket, and got his back pack on. Then dragged the box with Guilmon in it out. Takato dragged the box all the way to where it was the day prior.
"Guilmon, you can have this food while I'm gone." Takato said, and then he ran off to school while he heard Guilmon say "Thanks Takatomon. I love it already."
While Takato was walking to school, Yamaki was noticing that the light representing Goblimon was gone. "I guess that the digimon is gone. What is able to get rid of these things just as soon as they show up? That's it, I have to check it out tomorrow. Or else I will never feel like I can get the answer I deserve." Yamaki said and the main girls could hear the anger in his voice.
Nearing the school grounds, Takato ran right away to the gym class. The teacher started the lesson. "Okay guys, time to take the test today." He said, and handed all the kids a quiz packet. "You are each allowed one pencil. If the led breaks at any point, you are allowed to sharpen it once. If that happens a second time, you will turn in the quiz no matter how much you finish and I will grade it then." He told them, and the quiz time started.
About half way through class, a bunch a students looked outside the class window to hear something. Like there was a giant disturbance. It was actually the principal freaking out.
"A monster!" The class heard him yelling when they went out into the main hallway. Takato instantly felt the worst feeling he could. He ran out into the hall further and noticed the box that Guilmon was hiding in.
"Guilmon. Why are you doing this?" Takato asked, and then he saw the footprints that Guilmon has. He ran after it to see where it possibly was.
Henry saw Takato running in the direction of Guilmon's footprints. Then he looked down at Terriermon. They both nodded, and started going down the stairs to see what he was doing "Geez, do you think Takato is hiding something?" Henry asked, and Terriermon nodded. Like it was obvious.
When Takato was outside, he was starting to lose hope of finding Guilmon. That was until he heard Henry's voice calling out to him.
"Takato, I see it now. With your reaction to the box and footprints, the chasing, how your facial expressions have been the last couple days, you have a digimon don't you?" Henry said, and Takato looked at him shocked that he was able to pick it up so quickly.
"How did you know?" Takato asked, and Terriermon walked out from behind Henry's back, and started speaking to him.
"What Henry said about me being Terriermon was real. I am a living digimon. You have one. So that means you are a tamer. But again if you are losing it so quickly then maybe you aren't qualified to be a tamer. you should quit being one." Terriermon said, and Takato took offense to that. He ran away from them because he didn't want to hear Terriermon talking crap over him more. Henry looked at Terriermon.
"Learn your filter dude." Henry said, and Terriermon propped its ears up. The way it always did when it wanted to sound innocent. "Geez, you can't make me mad at you when you have those actions."
Takato was running around until he found Guilmon. It was hiding near a tree. Several hundred feet away from the school. Takato ran at Guilmon, and hugged it happily. "I thought I lost you. We really need to find a proper place for you to stay hiding before we start having fun. One that you won't run away from." Takato said, and decided to spend his time until that happens and then he heard a voice behind him. Takato turned around, seeing Rika with Renamon. Nobody was around, so it was just them.
"Step aside, and let me battle your digimon." Rika said, and Renamon walked closer to Takato and Guilmon.
"Please no. I just got it. Only had it one day. Please don't do this to me. I've had a couple dreams about you. Not in that way. Wow, I need to shut up." Takato told Rika, and she laughed at him. With her finger pointed at him.
"How silly is this? You are the best comedy ever created. I've had dreams about you. Give me a break. This proves that Renamon should just take you down. I would be doing it a service." Rika said, and Renamon ran at Guilmon. Almost running into Takato, an he had to jump to the side so he wouldn't get hit.
Davis's Closing Narration: Wow, Rika is a big jerk. How will Takato handle this? Hopefully Henry will help him out. Maybe Kazu and Kenta will be lucky sometime or Jeri for that matter. I hope that Kazu will accept girls later on, because that attitude is a little odd for me.
