Chapter 0: Enter David
August 1: 6:30pm. Rooftop of Odaiba Apartments in Odaiba, Japan
It was a cloudy day in Odaiba. After what seems to be a brief thunderstorm rumbling in the distance an hour & a half ago, the weather came back to a pleasant cool down day. On the rooftop of one of the buildings was a raven-haired boy, no older than 14. He wore an all black outfit of jean pants, a t-shirt, a hoodie jacket, shoes, fingerless gloves, a bandana with white decorations worn around his neck, a cap with a symbol of the letters "P" & "T" in black font with white outlines & he also wore all black sunglasses. Guess this dude is fond of the color black for fashion sense eh? Anyways, the boy also had around his neck with the bandana, a silver chain-like necklace with a green emblem hanging between his gut & his chest. The boy exhaustedly walked all the way to the doorway exiting the rooftop. Unbeknownst to him three figures were hiding around the doorway of the rooftop as the boy entered it, observing his movements. One of the figures appear to be a girl whose face & appearance show no sign of malevolence while the other two figures were small yellow creatures, one of them wearing a red cap with a black front that had two blue semi-circles as a logo on front.
Meanwhile, the boy gradually walked down the stairway, holding onto rails as support.
'Oh man, I feel so wiped!' thought the boy. 'Is this it? Is this what I have to come back to?' the boy continued to ponder in his thoughts.
For sometime the boy went down a series of stairs until he reached a door way with a number on it that determined the current floor he was at. He opened the door to a series of doors to his left & to his right was just a section of the town he was at. The series of doors must've been a bunch of apartment complexes with intercoms, name signs, & flowerpots that hung from the hooks connected to the name signs. The boy then trotted down the walkway passing, many doors of the apartments until he briefly stopped at one door & turned his head & faced it. It wasn't any different from the doors he passed, but the name sign read was quite familiar to him. The name on the sign read one word, "Kamiya." The boy smiled as he if he identified the residents of the apartment.
"It's good to finally see the two of you with my own eyes soon!" the boy remarked. He then moved on to the next door that with the name sign, "KetDeTsu." A rather odd name to label the apartment isn't it? Well, the boy then grabbed by one of his belt loops a set of keys. He unhooked the keys & used one of it to unlock the door.
At the end of the narrow hallway to the right of the boy as he faced the door & turn the knob on it, sounds of footsteps came from the stairway. The sounds of those footsteps indicate at least several coming up. As the raven-haired boy entered the apartment, a 12 year old brunette-haired girl holding a bouquet of flowers came up the stairway to the way where the boy was at. She was wearing a faded pink sleeveless top with three diamonds on the front, magenta short shorts, a magenta hairclip, & a yellow bandana worn the same way the boy in black had. Her mahogany colored eyes & the expression on her face expressed a mixture of worry, curiosity, & a bit of fatigue from the running up the stairs. On her shoulder was a strange white cat with yellow gauntlets on her front paws. The girl then spotted part of a leg entering the one of the complexes.
"There he is Gatomon…" the girl whispered to the cat on her shoulder.
"Well, Kari…" responded the cat. "Better go check to see if he's alright after what happen to him earlier." Whatever happened to the boy as he came down from the rooftop in such an exhaustive state must have something to do with the cat's remark.
Kari nodded at Gatomon & then walked toward the door the boy entered.
As for the boy, as soon as he entered the complex, he heard the sound of a water running coming perhaps in the bathroom in the complex. Suddenly, he coughed uncontrollably & used his left hand to cover his mouth. As he finally stopped coughing, he removed his hand & to his horror he noticed something on his glove that shouldn't really be there.
'What the hell is this?! Blood?' gasped the boy as he glared at his hand. His eyes then became blurry & his legs started to feel like jelly. Losing the will to stand, he then yelled out…
"THIS IS…BULLCRAP!"
And then the boy collapsed on his knees & then fell onto his back on the ground with his feet facing the doorway. As his conscious slowly faded away, he spotted the girl with the cat on her shoulder outside the doorway. The girl then spotted the older boy on the hard floor. The two humans stared at each other for a brief moment when Kari immediately entered the apartment complex, squatted down near the boy & lifted his head off the ground so she could get a good look at him see if he was okay.
Breathing in & out deeply, the boy then weakly said, "It's good to finally look at you with my own eyes again…cousin."
"Likewise." Kari responded. "Glad to have you back among the living."
"Not yet…I think it's light's out for me. Do what you gotta do. As for me…I'll be taking a loooonnnnngggggg nap." The boy remarked & finally passed out to his exhaustion. Concerned for her cousin's health, Kari removed the raven-haired boy's cap & shades & placed her two fingers on his neck. She then felt relieved as she felt a pulse on her fingers. Suddenly coming out of the bathroom in the hallway of the apartment was a long dark brown-haired girl with honey-yellow eyes. She looked older than both the boy & Kari around 16 or 17. The only thing she wore was a towel covering her female regions of her body. She immediately spotted Kari nearby the doorway with an unconscious boy. She gasped in shock as she spotted the boy primarily but shook it off immediately & addressed the two kids.
"Kari…what's going on? And why is David on the floor half-dead?" Questioned the older girl.
"Hey there, Chloe." Kari said. "It's kind of a long story how this happened. I'll explain everything as soon as my brother shows up."
Meanwhile outside on the floor of the apartment building, the other girl with the two creatures came down the stairs from where David was walking down & peered through the window of the door of the hallway that he walked in. Observing the hall she spotted a tall brunette teen with poofy spiky hair & a blond haired-boy younger than the tall fellow wearing a fisherman's hat. She also noticed a strange yet cute creature with wings on its ears on the top of the hat-wearer & also noticed a bunch of other people coming from the stairs opposite of the stairway. Who is this girl & what does she & the two yellow creatures have to do David along with all the people crowding into the apartment?
End of Interlude…
