Myotismon Tells Shinji His Secret

[Disclaimer: Yeah well, I guess I still gotta do this. I don't own this stuff, concepts, terms, chars, and so on. I made up Shinji and her Crest and all that stuff, so YOU use, I KILL YOU!]
[Prologue: Demidevimon went missing after trying to kill Kari. Shinji spoiled his plot but was nearly killed in the process. But unknown to them, Machinedramon, one of the remaining Dark Masters, had been formulating a plan since Metalseadramon failed in destroying the Digi-destined...]

The full moon was shining down on the sleeping Digi-destined. Rolling white clouds moved slowly over the moon. The beams of moonlight slowly hit the faces of each Digi-destined child and then their digimon. First Tai and Agumon. Tai was still thinking about the Dark Masters in his sleep. Agumon was just sleeping calmly like he always did. Mimi and Palmon were next. Mimi kept thinking that she was walking too much. Palmon thought Mimi needed a little workout. Sora and Biyomon were after them. Sora was thinking like Tai was, how to beat the Dark Masters. Biyomon was sleeping like Agumon.

TK and Patamon's faces were lit by the pale moonlight. TK was sleeping with a slight smile on his face. Patamon was covering his partner with his wings like a blanket. Matt was sleeping next to Gabumon and his stony face was softened in the moonlight. Gabumon lay next to Matt with a different expression on his face. His face was always compassionate and understanding, it was even kinder looking in the light. Joe and Gomamon were almost entirely different people. Joe kind of worried about everything and thought that he had to be the responsible one in the group. Gomamon was a fun-loving digimon that almost never worried about anything.

Izzy was sleeping in the light with his digimon, Tentomon. Izzy was trying to think up a plan, which he normally did in his sleep. Tentomon slept like most digimon, without thinking. And finally Kari and her digimon, Gatomon, were sleeping in the moonlight. Kari was the kindest girl anyone could know. But Gatomon was a kind of a pessimist and very sarcastic.

Shinji and Myotismon were lying next to each other, almost touching each other. Myotismon wanted it that way. Other than he needed to protect her because she was injured, Myotismon seemed to like Shinji. Quite a bit. Shinji didn't let anyone know it, but she liked Myotismon as much as he liked her. But what none of them knew, was that Machinedramon, one of the Dark Masters, was plotting against them.

The next morning, after everyone woke up, Tai proposed that they should keep moving. Myotismon picked up Shinji and they kept walking through the warped forest. A very low rumbling made everybody stop. "What was that?" Mimi asked. The ground cracked but almost no one noticed it. The ground cracked more and more and finally fell away. Everyone yelled out in terror as they fell into darkness. The eight Digi-destined and their digimon fell away from Shinji and Myotismon. Everyone cried out again and then all went black for them.

Myotismon groaned and opened his eyes. He looked around desperately to find Shinji. He saw her lying unconscious a few feet away. She was lying halfway into a river of running water and was about to be dragged in completely. Myotismon leapt up and grabbed her hand just before she was lost in the river. He pulled her out with some effort and panted for breath was he sat with Shinji's head in his lap. He finally looked around. He saw that they were in some place that was made completely out of stone and cement and was covered in street signs. He wondered where the other children were and what had happened.

Shinji coughed some water out of her throat and Myotismon looked at her. "She's beautiful..." he thought. He stroked his hand through her damp brown hair. He brushed the scant strands out of Shinji's face. He ran his hand across her face and stopped breathing for a few seconds. He tilted Shinji's face so he could see it. He was tempted unbelievably so to kiss Shinji then and there, so she wouldn't object to it since she was unconscious. Shinji sighed and opened her eyes slightly. "Myotismon...?" she asked weakly. "I'm here. Don't worry." he said softly. "Where are the others?" she asked. "I don't know Shinji." he said.

Myotismon's face suddenly burned and he helped Shinji sit up. He went off to find wood for a fire and soon returned. He lit the fire by use of his Crimson Lightning and sat next to Shinji. "Why am I wet?" Shinji asked. She had just noticed that she was basically soaking wet. "You were in that river when I found you." Myotismon said. He pointed to the river Shinji was in. "Thanks." Shinji said. "Uh... Don't mention it." Myotismon said. His face was beginning to burn again so he looked away. Shinji was wondering what Myotismon was doing or if he was angry with her. "What is wrong with me?!" he thought to himself, "Why can't I tell her that I like her?!" Shinji was thinking that Myotismon was either angry with her or he just didn't like her.

Shinji sat in the same position that she was in back in the cave created by her sadness except with her head up and she could see into the fire. Myotismon was glaring away from the fire and wanted to kick himself. "I'm sorry Shinji." he apologized. "What for?" she asked. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." he said, "Do you forgive me?" "Yeah. It's OK." Shinji said. Her feelings were hurt badly. She still thought that Myotismon was angry. "Let's go to sleep. I think it's late." Myotismon said. He put out the fire and they fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, Myotismon really wanted to kick himself. Shinji was still sleeping and he looked at her face. He decided to make them breakfast before Shinji woke up. He walked over to the river and saw many fish swimming around. He shrugged his shoulders and used his Crimson Lightning to shock the fish to death. He pulled two out of the river. They were already cooked from the attack. Shinji woke up and looked at Myotismon. "Thanks Myotismon." she said taking one of the fish. They ate silently and got rid of the bones.

Myotismon and Shinji sat down next to each other near the river. "I need to tell you something Shinji." Myotismon said. "What is it?" she asked. "It's kind of a secret." he said. "You can tell me." Shinji said, putting her hand on his back. "It's about two things." he said, "One is about why I wear this mask. It was a long time ago. I hadn't digivolved to my Ultimate form yet. I was like the digimon, Patamon. I was weak and was taken advantage of many times. I had to work in the same restaurant that Joe and Matt did. I was blamed for everything, even if I didn't do it. I was beaten often. I haven't seen if they're still there, but I had many scars. When I digivolved however, the owner of the restaurant dropped to his knees and begged forgiveness. He said, "Please forgive me Lord Myotismon!'" Shinji was shocked. "But I was lonely." Myotismon said, "I was so lonely. The only digimon that stayed by my side was Demidevimon and he was trying to take credit for anything someone else did."

"What's your other secret?" Shinji asked. Myotismon put his hand on Shinji's and turned red. "I like you Shinji." he said, "I like you a lot." Shinji turned her hand to hold Myotismon's. "I thought you didn't like me." she said, also turning red, "Because I like you too." They looked at each other and weren't red anymore. Myotismon wrapped his hand around Shinji and pulled her closer to him. They closed their eyes and kissed each other. Neither of them objected. Myotismon put his finger under Shinji's chin and tilted it higher up. They pulled away after about a minute or so and looked at each other. They were stunned by each other's actions.

"You like me too?" they asked each other at the same time, "Yes I do." They kept answering each other at the same time. They laughed at this and turned back to face the flowing river. Myotismon put his arm around Shinji and she took his hand. Myotismon had finally revealed his secret to Shinji. And he was happy about it. He glanced at Shinji's face and smiled. He never knew that he could be able to love someone. But he was proven wrong the moment he met Shinji.

Shinji had been lonely all her life until she met Myotismon. Anyone she had known had called her strange or weird. She thought that no one cared about her except her family. But any person that knew her or had known her had called her a name or insulted her.

"I have a secret to tell you." Shinji said, "I was like you. Always blamed for things I never did. Once, someone had stolen something from school, and the kids all said that I did it. But I can't stand up for myself, you know that. And when I said that I didn't do anything, they would beat me up. That's why I taught myself how to take a fall. When we first met, I thought you were someone I knew, until you tried to bite me. But I still used the same technique to stop you. I never thought that I would grow to love you." They looked at each other and kissed again.

Shinji and Myotismon loved each other.

[Epilogue: Shinji and Myotismon continued to tell each other secrets about themselves until they fell asleep. The other children had no idea that this was going on. They were looking for the two but were cut off by Machinedramon and his flunkies...]
