-Night of Fire-

Chapter 3- Boredom and Curiosity

"Impmon is Kogatamon gunna be okay?" Ai and Mako looked at Kogatamon laying on the coutch still asleep and watched as their Digimon finished bandaging a splint around her fractured arm. The arm that had been bitten by the dog was already near finished healing due to the fact Digimon recover from there injurys quickly, but broken bone takes longer to heal.

"Ya she'll be fine."

"So what do we do now Impmon?" Mako asked as he covered Kogatamon with a small blanket so she didn't get cold. He didn't know why but he felt he may be more worried about her then Impmon or Ai.

Impmon gave a shrug. "Heck if I know, just let 'er rest for now when your parents get back they can figure it out."

The twins nodded there heads and left to go play in their room, Mako pet Kogatamon on the head just before leaving to play with Ai. Impmon then sat opposite of Kogatamon on the coutch and attempted to watch t.v. After awhile he found that, as always, there was nothing worth watching on at the moment and turned it off; tossing the remote on the table.

"Figures there's nothin' on." He mummbled looking up at the clock that hung on the wall in the corner of the room.

"And it's only five, great..."

Impmon sat there for a few moments, trying to decide what to do, before he got up off the coutch and walking to the twins' room to see what they were doing.

When he entered the bedroom he found them on the floor, surrounded by crayons, happily drawing pictures. When he walked over to them he found that Ai was drawing a picture of him, and Mako was drawing a picture of Kogatamon, though he seemed to be having trouble with it.

"And what are you two doing?"

"Drawing." They said this at the same time.

"I see... You guys as bored as I am?"

"No not really."

"Of course not..."

Impmon sighed and sat down on the floor next to them. He was bored to death but there was nothing he could do about it. They couldn't go outside again because they might try to run off again, and he couldn't leave the twins home alone because he had been left in charge of them by there parents. And Ai and Mako would surely tell them if he suddenly chose to leave them. So basicly he was doomed to be bored the rest of the day...

"Um, excuse me?"

Ai, Mako and Impmon all lifted there heads in surprise at the unknown voice , but when the three turned there heads to bedroom door they were very much surprised to see Kogatamon standing there looking confused but releved to be alright.

Ai and Mako were the first to react to her presence and both lept up off of the ground and ran to her and gave her a big hug.

"Kogatamon your okay, I'm so glad!" Mako cheered happily.

"How are you feeling?" Ai asked.

"...Squished..." She managed to say with the little air she still had left.

"Sorry!" They both releaced her at the same time causing her to lose her balance and fall to the floor with a 'thump.'

"Sorry, again..."

"That's okay..." Kogatamon stood up and looked at the twins she was worried something had happened to them, but they appeared to be alright.

"So you two are okay?"

They nodded enthusiastcly. "Ya were okay, you and Impmon sure tought that mean dog a lesson." Mako said.

"It never even touched us." Ai added.

"That's good, by the way who's Impmon?"

"That would be me." Impmon came to stand in front of her. He had a smug look on his face and had his arms crossed over his chest.

"This is Impmon our partner Digimon." Ai pulled out the D-Power to prove her point.

"I'm also the one that had to rescue and drag your tail all the way here." Impmon added.

Kogatamon took a moment to think, and then she remembered what it was he was talking about. He had been the one that had stopped the dog from finishing her off and deleteing her, and aperently from what he said had carried her here after she passed out.

"I remember, arigato Impmon." She said with a cheerful voice, Impmon looked at her confused.

"Ari- What?"

Kogatamon and the twins started to laugh a little.

"What!"

"Impmon it means 'thank you'." Ai said through her giggles.

"Why didn't you just say that?"

Kogatamon shrugged. "I like to use some Japanese words sometimes, humans seem find it more respectful."

"Well don't do that any more."

"Alright I can try, but it's a habit of mine I don't see how I can drop it that eaisily... Gomenasai."

Kogatamon smiled, Ai and Mako noticed and started to laugh again as they realized what she did. The confused expression then found its way back onto Impmon's face again.

"...What?"

"Impmon do you want some help?" Kogatamon watched as Impmon stood up on the kitchen counter and was trying very hard to reach some of the things he'd need to make food out of the cabinet. What he was reaching for was just out of his reach, but he still refused the help Kogatamon offered him.

"No I've got it! Stop asking!" Impmon was standing on the very tips of his clawed toes and still was unable to reach them. Kogatamon's ears fell to the sides of her head as she watched him struggle. Why wouldn't he just let her help him? Was it really that big a deal?

"Okay I guess I'll wait with Ai and Mako then..." She mumbled more to herself then to him, and left him alone in the kitchen.

She saw that Ai and Mako were sitting on the floor around the coffee table still drawing as they had been before. Mako would occasinaly look at Kogatamon for reference as he drew.

Kogatamon sat down near Mako and sighed she wondered if Impmon just didn't like her, or is it maby that he doesn't like that another Digimon is near his tamers? Did he think she was going to hurt them? She honestly didn't know. Mako noticed her destress and pet her on the head hoping to calm her down.

"What's the matter Kogatamon are you still not feeling well?" Mako asked. Ai looked up from her drawing showing she was listening.

"No I feel fine, actually better, this arm may be fully healed soon." She gestured to the arm that had been placed in a splint.

"So then whats the matter?" Ai asked.

"Well it's just... Do you guys think Impmon hates me?"

They looked at eachother before answering. "We don't think so, why do you think he hates you?"

Kogatamon just shrugged, not wanting to continue the conversation. She didn't know why she thought Impmon hater her, she just had a feeling he didn't like her much. Not that it mattered she'd be gone soon right?

Ai and Mako could tell by the look on her face that the answer was a definate yes and they both wondered why she felt that way.

"Don't worry I'm sure Impmon will start to like you you'll see."

Kogatamon's ears lifted with the bit of hope they offered her. "Arigato, maby your right."

"Alright you two, bed time." Impmon shooed the two twins into there bed room as they tried and failed to convince there partner to let them stay up a little later.

"No, not gunna happen 'ur parents warned me what they would do if I didn't get ya two in bed before nine, and it's nine-thirty right now so if ya two don't want me in peices I suggest you get inta bed now."

"Alright..." The two twins reluctantly did as Impmon said and got there night clothes on, after saying there good nights they crawled into there beds and fell asleep. Impmon turned the light in the bedroom out and shut the door quietly so he didn't wake them.

After making sure the twins were in bed and asleep, he turned out all the lights in the house and shut/ locked the doors. When he was done crept over to the back door of the house, went outside and jumped over the fence in the backyard heading out somewhere that he couldn't earlier.

But he had forgotten about something, actually someone.

Kogatomon had watched him the entire time.

Her curiousity got the better of her and she soon left after him wanting to know where it was he was going.
