Chapter 9 – Nothing Goes Right. Ever
げつ ふま
Kazu/Kenta POV
"Rika, we should head back to the human world and find a doctor," Renamon suggested.
"Yea, maybe, but what about the others? Won't they be worried?" Rika wondered.
"We can look for them on our way, but this woman needs to be treated swiftly," Renamon said, standing up with the stranger.
"Right," Rika said.
Kazu and Kenta were trudging through a canyon they had found a while ago. After a few minutes, Kazu spoke.
"Why do I feel like I've been forgotten?" he asked Kenta, who was a few paces back.
"I don't know," Kenta replied. "I don't even want to be here anyway."
"Well then why did you come?" Kazu asked, walking on.
"Because you dragged me away," Kenta replied.
"Me? Never," Kazu said like it was nothing.
Walking in silence for another half hour, Kenta got the feeling he was being watched.
"Hey, Kazu," he said, speeding up. "Do you feel something?"
"No," Kazu replied, shrugging.
"Oh, ok," Kenta said quietly.
About fifty feet back, behind a large rock, there was a small chuckle. The figure stood up and jumped onto higher ground. Running full speed, it shot ahead of the two unsuspecting humans.
A few minutes later, Kenta had the same feeling again.
"Seriously," he said. "You don't feel that?"
"No, I don't feel anything but the stupid sun," was the short answer he got.
The Digimon on the cliff chuckled again as he watched the two talk. "They have no idea what they did." It ran forward again to a fork in the road.
Kazu and Kenta suddenly heard a large explosion from up ahead.
"What was that?!" Kazu yelled, running behind Kenta.
"Why do you hide behind me?" Kenta asked.
"Because you're a shield," he replied, ducking down.
Above them, a large blue beam, flowing like water struck a rock behind them, causing it to collapse and block the exit. The two of them ran at full speed, finally realizing they were under attack.
Running through the canyon, they came to a fork in the road, but the left side was caved in on itself, just like behind them. So they ran to the right. After about thirty seconds, another blue blast hit the rocks behind them and caused another rock slide.
"This is bad!" Kazu cried.
"You think?!" Kenta yelled back, then stopped dead.
"What?" Kazu asked, worried. Kenta then pointed towards the top of the canyon, where they could see a shadow of a Digimon.
"Blue Blaster!" they heard, then one of those blue jets shot out of its mouth towards them.
"Run!" Kazu yelled, not waiting around for Kenta.
"Kazu! This way!" Kenta yelled back at him. "That way just leads back to the dead end!"
"At least it's away from that thing!" Kazu shrieked.
"You will pay for what you did to my Tamer!" the Digimon yelled after him.
"What are you talking about?!" Kazu shrieked, seeing the blocked off entrance of the canyon. "Great! Now what?"
Kazu turned around, back to the wall, and saw that the Digimon was about to launch another attack at him.
