ok, finals are over, and i can tell i screwed up badly. T-T
for those of you that still keep up with the reading, thx
To Legendary: well i dont know the exact time Alice makes her first appearance. All i know is that she came cuz the Tamers were getting wooped and helped to let them Bio-Merge again.
To ominix: wat do you mean another Takato? it was a clever form of syntax to bring about more feeling into the writing.
Enter Part II, Tamers and Takato. keep in mind, one of the main antagonists of the story will make his appearance sumwhere in Part II. If you can guess who it is, good job (and no, its not my OC).
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon nor any franchised items/names that may and will appear in this fic.
oyea, the song of this chapter is Black Out from Initial D (preferably vocal battle one) during the card battle.

Part II, Introduction of the Chaos Chapter 1
Takato's P.O.V.-
Well as it turns out, I was late in going home. So that means Alice locked me out. Just great. I may have feelings for her, but this is going too far for tolerance of her. I whined for maybe a good 10 minutes outside the front door until I heard a window slide open and BlackGigimon's head poked out of it. "Takato! Alice told me to let you in through here", he said in his childish voice. I quickly climbed in...only to fall into the garbage can. Groaning, I picked myself up, only to see Alice giggling slightly. Alice. Giggling. That is definitely an improvement. She noticed me staring and asked, "What are you looking at?" "Nothing. It's just that I've never heard you laugh before. You should do it more often, you really sound nice when you're laughing."
Immediately I blushed and looked away. Luckily, it was dark in the house so she might not see the intense shade of red rush across my cheeks like wildfire. "Go take a shower, Takato. I've finally got an excuse to make you clean yourself and I'm not losing the opportunity to get you to smell nice for once." That irked me a bit, but I thought of the consequences of the comeback I might have said and immediately replied, "Yes ma'am."
She would have kicked my ass in less time than Rika ever could.
The Next Day-
Well I guess Alice was right, I smelled pretty bad before I took that shower. Good thing I took it, because this is my first day of school. Apparently, I'm enrolled in West Shinjuku Junior High, same as the Tamers. I can't help but grimace at the possible reactions of my former friends if they recognized who I really am. Hopefully my new attire would throw them off.
I have ditched the goggles because they would have been a dead give-away. My hair is dyed black and I mean black. So black that the contrast to the light is dizzying. I'm wearing white sneakers, jeans, a white t-shirt, and black sweater. Nothing really fancy, I don't want to attract any attention.
In the place of my goggles, are navy shades. They are perched where my goggles usually are perched. My D-Arc and deck are clipped onto my belt and covered by my sweater.
I enter the school grounds and slowly begin my walk to the Pricipal's office. Mr. Yamasaki is his name. He seems nice. He gives me my schedule and shows me around the school. I notice the Tamers out of the corner of my eye. Looks as though they're pretty popular, I can see many girls clinging to Ryo's and Henry's arms. The guys are crowding around Rika and Jeri.
Did I forget to introduce Jeri? She's the one Tamer who no longer has a Digimon. Her partner, Leomon, was deleted by Beelzebumon. She lives with her younger brother, father, and step-mother. She's not all too fond of her step-mother. It seems as though she has gotten over the trauma from losing Leomon. All the Tamers seem to be soaking up all the fame like a sponge to water.
The bell for first period rings. I take a look at my schedule and see I have Literature and Writing Composition first. I walk slowly to my room, I really don't want to be at school, but then again, what kid looks forward to school unless something of more dire consequences happens to exist? I open the door and walk to the teacher, handing her the note. She smiles and nods. She gets up from grading papers and addresses the class. For the first time, I take in the room and the people there. I immediately groan inwardly, Rika and Henry are in this class. I also notice that the only vacant seat happens to be right in between them. 'Oh joy, my first day here and I'm already in trouble.'
Mrs. Nagata (my teacher) addressed the class, "Students, we have a new friend joining us today. Please introduce yourself to the class." With that, she looked at me expectantly and I stared blankly back at her and the class.
"Er...my name is Hiroshi, Kaya, 'Kay' for short. It's uh...nice to meet you.". Yes, interesting alias isn't it. Alice came up with that one.
"Very well Kaya, or Kay. You may take the vacant seat to Rika's right. Rika, please raise your hand"
"Yea, yea." With that, Rika rose her hand and whispered under her breath, "Stupid hag.". Of course, her description isn't correct, Mrs. Nagata is in her early 20's but that's beside the point. The point is, I'm stuck between two enemies until who knows when.
I slowly make my way down the aisle and take my seat, noiselessly. I can feel the burning stares of the entire class on me. Why look at me? Maybe it's because Rika and Henry are looking at me, maybe the rest of the class are their worshipers I saw outside. I gather my courage and look over at Rika and give her a puzzling look. She looks away blushing. 'What the icy, burning, blistering heat of hell! Blushing!' That cannot be right... And yet, somehow, by a cruel twist of fate, she did blush and is still blushing. Very noticeably might I add.
'This will be an interesting first day,' I thought sardonically to myself. All throughout first period I could feel Rika staring at me and feel the burning glares of the majority of the male population of the class. I silently thanked God when class ended...only to groan again when I found out that the vast majority of my classes included at least one Tamer.
When school was over, I began to walk away until I heard footsteps behind me. Having a good idea of who's it was, I pick up the pace only to get my arm ripped out of its location and into Rika's grip.
"Hi there, Kay, I'm Rika Nonaka. Sorry I wasn't able to introduce myself earlier. Want to go out for a drink? That way we can get to know each other better"
I must be dreaming...Rika, the hardcore Digimon Ice Queen, offering to go out on the equivalent of a date.
"I-I...er sorry, but I promised my, uh, cousin! Yeah, I promised my cousin that I'd help her with moving back into Shinjuku." Thankfully, she bought it. At least I think. Well it's partly true, Alice was moving back into her new home in Shinjuku and she'd really appreciate it if I helped out. Not that she would say anything of course. I left Rika looking a bit crushed which, of course, stirred my too nice part of my personality. "How about some other time", and immediately slapped myself mentally, because she caught the rebound perfectly. Instantly, she blushed again and agreed to go on Sunday (today happens to be Friday in this timeline, and, yes, the coming expo is on a Saturday).
Boy, this place sure changed beyond what I had expected, even after the JDR-02 had told me. Rika. Being girly. I guess I did rather like Rika better when she had her tom-boy act. As I walk towards home, I keep thinking about my past life and how I could change it...if I were able to that is. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice I had walked a few meters past the door...right into Rika. 'Joy...'
"Hi Kay! Are you free after all?" "N-no, I, uh, still have to help her move in. Wow, look at the time, I gotta get going, I'llseeyoulaterRikabye!", and rushed into my home cursing my luck. Of all places Alice had to choose to move in, she chose the neighborhood Rika lives in. I sighed and began to furnish the house. Alice was conveniently out of the house.
Saturday, The Day of the Digimon Card Game Expo, 7:00 A.M.-
Yeah, yeah, why am I awake at the inhuman hour of 7:00 A.M. on a Saturday. Well it's definitely not to watch Saturday morning cartoons. No, I'm making final modifications to my deck. I'm going to challenge Rika to a match, that's right, Rika. Maybe this would get her off my arms. Also my supposed introduction to the Tamers. A coming out party if you will. I'm flipping through my deck and extras, looking for potential ways to knock Rika off her high stool. I notice something in the cards I have just recently bought. 'Oh yes, these will definitely help me.' I pick up the four cards and add them into the deck. The exposition begins in three hours, just enough time to figure out a strategy for the four cards. I smile as I play a practice match, 'These cards will save my ass, I know it.'
As I leave the house, I tuck in BlackGigimon. Unfortunately, I can't bring him in case the Digimon sense his presence. Not like it matters much, Alice has taken such a shine to BlackGigimon. Maybe it's because he's an adorable looking head with eyes that immediately captivate you. Also the fact that he's just a head with four tiny legs and a tail and the way he looks up at you with those big eyes. Eh, in short, he's a girl's ideal plush toy. I grab a waffle on my way out and head for town.
Surprisingly, many people are up at 9:00 A.M. Not all of them are adults. Actually, the majority of them are kids...camping out in front of the Convention Center? 'Meh, kids. Can't keep away from real, live Digimon.' Fortunately, they're all asleep because I'm about to something really mean. I cut in line. Yes, am I not the most evil person you have ever met? Fortunately, these kids had incredibly bad memories and I was able to get in with no trouble. As I came in, I was handed a bag that included a photo of the Tamers with their Digimon. On the back were the signatures of them all. Another item included was a toy D-Arc, some modify cards, and a random Digimon figurine. I stuffed them into my backpack and went to look around the place. There were some very bad looking cosplayers. Davis and Tai never looked that bad...or had a 40 inch waist.
It's around 11:00, the Tamers should be showing up soon. Oh wait, there they are. Time to make my move. While they were being idolized, I walked up to the podium and stood right in front of the Tamers. With a confident smirk on my face, I stared all of them down. "Hello Tamers, nice day isn't it?" Ryo stepped up with an angry look on his face, "Just who do you think you are? You can't just waltz up here and talk to us like that!" I smiled slightly and shook my head. "I'm not here to shoot the breeze with you guys, I'm here to challenge you to a card battle!" "You want a battle? You've got-" "Not you, bonehead. It's Rika I'm challenging." I look over to Rika who looks surprised for a second and that surprise was then replaced with a confident smirk. She nodded and signaled to a guard to set up a table.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Looks like the famous Digimon Queen has received a challenge in a card battle! What a treat, isn't it?"
(I'm sorry, but I've never actually played the card game before so my scenes will be short)
Normal P.O.V.-
The card battle seemed pretty even, Kay (Takato) was keeping up with all of Rika's moves. Everyone could see that Rika was getting frustrated. She had never had much of a challenge from anyone other than Ryo. Kay just had his poker face on, smirking every now and then whenever he drew.
The reason Rika seemed so frustrated and off balance were the cards Kay had played three of his 'special' cards: Renamon, Kyuubimon, and Taomon, the exact same moves that Rika had been making. She was starting to sweat, and everyone, especially Kay could see it. Until she drew her next card, when she gave an exclamation of an assured victory.
Takato's P.O.V.-
I saw Rika's mood lift when she drew her next card. I have a good idea of what she drew. 'And the next card Rika plays is-' "Sakuyamon!"
Rika seemed pretty sure of her victory with that card, so sure that, "Tell you what, cutie, since I like you, I'll give you one turn to try and save yourself." There-in lies her one fatal weakness, over-confidence. One turn is probably all that I would need. I drew...and quite obviously got the card I needed. I gave a grimace.
"Aww...what's wrong, didn't get the card you need?" "Oh contrair, Rika. I'm just sad thinking about how humiliating this defeat will be for you."
Triumphantly, I digivolved Taomon, not into Sakuyamon as Rika had done. No, I chose a more devastating force, "Gulfmon!" Rika slammed her hands down on the table, "What! You can't do that! Taomon cannot digivolve into Gulfmon!" "Oh yes she can, read the digivolution requirements. If you do, I believe you'll find that Gulfmon's requirements include a Mephistamonor Taomon for a digivolution. I believe that I've won this game."
The entire convention became silent as Rika and I shook hands. The Tamers were the most subdued of all. Rika had been defeated so easily by an unknown. I silently bowed and walked out the door. The message was sent, "Watch out because here I come."
Author's Notes-
Well if you havnt guessed yet, this chapter was partly dedicated to my huge support of Rukato. I promise my next fic will be a Rukato, no worries.
Oyea, another clue to the next antagonist, it's not Gulfmon. lol, yea big help isnt it?
Thanks for staying with me so far.
Reviews would be nice. Thank you.
