-The Ninth Child-
xX-Playing Games to Grow-Xx
The DigiDestined and their Digimon stood with tearful eyes, watching Whamon's remains blow away on the wind.
"Where's he goin'?" T.K asked.
Kagome said nothing as she pulled Kari and T.K close to her, offering at least a little comfort for the friend she'd only known briefly.
"Hey!" Izzy exlciamed. "Look at MetalSeadramon!"
The group looked over to the unmoving body of the metal-dragon and watched as it, much like Whamon's body, dissolved into particles that traveled on the wind in the same direction Whamon's remains had gone.
"But where're they going?" Sora asked.
"Spiral Mountain's peak," Tentomon replied, looking in the exact direction of said structure.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, causing everyone to shout in surprise.
"What's going on?"
"Why's this happening?"
"Could it be another of the Dark Masters?"
"That's the real reason for all the shaking!" Tai pointed to Spiral Mountain. "Look!"
The group turned their gazes to the tall structure and watched as the blue strip of the Net Ocean began to disappear, leaving a black gap behind.
"The ocean!" Joe blinked in disbelief. "It's disappearing!" 'And I said that nothin here surprises me anymore…'
"But why's it disappearing?" Mimi asked.
"The Digital World is reconfiguring the Net Ocean since we kicked its Dark Master's booty!" Gomamon replied cheerfully, momentarily forgetting their sorrow over losing their friend.
"Fascinating," Izzy breathed, taking the in the change with a curious gaze. "I wonder, though, does this affect us?"
"'Course this does," Tai nodded. "Come on; if we want to get some surfing in, we'd better get going!"
"Wait!" Mimi called out. "We're not finished yet!"
"Huh?" the brown-haired preteen turned to the caramel-haired girl as saw that she, Kagome, Kari, and T.K, with their Digimon's help, were make perfect domes of sand topped with a wooden cross on each.
"Mimi what are you doing?" Tai asked.
"In case you haven't noticed," Matt defended the small group, "Some of our friends are gone."
"Oh," Tai's eyes widened, "Sorry…"
Mimi then pointed to each mound, stating who each was for. "That one is for Wizardmon, and the one next to it is for Piximon. The one over there is for Chuumon and the one next to that is for Sukamon. And this one here is for Whamon."
'She might act like an airhead sometimes,' Kagome watched Mimi with sad eyes, 'but she's really quite sensitive and I don't think anyone really realizes that…'
"Mimi," Sora placed a hand on her friend's shoulder, "You know they're not really gone, right? It's like they've been downloaded onto another computer."
"That's right," Gatomon answered. "We're Digimon, so we really can't die. When our time in our present life is over, we become data that's reconfigured to start over again."
"What better reason do we need to get the Dark Masters?" Tai asked heatedly. "We need to avenge the friends we lost!"
'Tai…' Kagome shook her head. 'Your minds set on the right goal, but you don't seem to be using your heart to understand…'
"I'm not going," Mimi answered.
"What do you mean by that?" Tai asked.
"I have had enough!" Mimi began sobbing. "Everyonetime we fight, we end up losing another friend!"
Kagome knelt down beside the distraught girl and pulled her into her arms.
"But that's war, Mimi," Tai tried reasoning with the sad girl, "And as much as we don't want it to happen, sometimes people we care about get hurt and there's nothing we can do about it. So you just need to learn how to deal with it!"
Mimi only sobbed wept harder into the raven-haired girl. "Tai," Kagome said quietly to her brother, "That's enough."
"But Kagome—" the brown-haired preteen looked at his sister.
"But nothing," Kagome said with firmly. "We know that we need to defeat the Dark Masters, but you also know how important it is to value your friends. The Tai I know would stop to at least give everyone, including himself, time to grieve over the friends we've lost. But the Tai standing in front of me right now is someone I don't think I know, or want to, for that matter."
"Kagome's right," Matt spoke up. "Why can't you stop and think about other people's feelings for a change?"
"What?" Tai said indignantly.
"We miss the friends that fought with us, can't you understand that?" Matt said. "Not everyone has ice running through their veins like you do!"
"Please calm down, Matt," T.K walked up to his brother, Patamon sitting on his head.
"You're always so busy looking forward that you never take the time to look back," the blonde continued as though he hadn't heard his brother, "We've lost some really good friends here, Tai, and it's nice to just take some time to remember them once in a while."
While everyone understood what Matt was trying to say, Tai, it seemed, didn't exactly understand it. "Do you even know what you're saying? If we always keep stopping to do that then we'll never be able to save both worlds in time!"
"There you go again," Matt said frustrated. "You're hearing me, but you're not listening!"
"Stop it you guys!" Sora tried diffusing the situation. "You're just making everyone even more upset! You're supposed to be friends, remember?"
"Don't cry, Mimi…" Palmon rubbed her partner's back.
Kagome rocked back and forth lightly, humming a soothing tune in her friend's hear, trying to help calm the girl down.
"Um, I don't mean to butt in or anything," Joe inputted, "But we're kinda sitting ducks out here; so why don't we move somewhere a little less out in the open?"
The group looked up at the eldest of the group and nodded in agreement, taking to the forest a few metres away.
'I'm not as cold as Mat thinks I am, am I?' Tai wondered. 'And did Kagome really mean what she said about me? I've never heard her talk to anyone like that…'
'I might have been a little harsh on Tai,' Matt thought, hands in his pockets, 'But he's got to learn to respect how we feel!'
'I've never seen Matt that mad before…' T.K looked worriedly at his brother.
'I just know they're thinking about me,' Joe thought nervously, 'why else would no one be talking?'
'We should be concentrating on finding our enemies,' Izzy thought sadly, 'not on each other…'
'Everyone's so tired and cranky,' Sora sighed inaudibly, 'that they're just acting on it however they can…'
"Hey, Kagome?" Mimi whispered, careful not to break the awkward silence that had befallen them. "Thanks."
Kagome looked over at the caramel-haired girl and gave a soft smile and nod in response. Suddenly, unseen by anyone but Kari, the raven-haired girl stopped.
"Kagome?" Kari asked quietly. "Is some—" she looked around confusedly. "Did you hear that?"
"I didn't hear anything," Kagome shook her head. "But I felt something…" she glanced at her partner. "You might want to hide, Kudamon."
The fox-like Digimon nodded and once again assumed the disguise of Kagome's scarf.
"What's wrong?" Gatomon asked, running up to the siblings?"
"Did you hear something?" Kari asked her partner.
"What you mean like a voice or something?" the feline Digimon looked at her partner in confusion.
"So you didn't hear it?" Kari asked.
Gatomon shook her head and pointed back to the group who'd stopped a few metres away. "C'mon, we'd better get back to the group, there's safety in numbers."
Kari and Kagome nodded, running back to the group, hands clasped together.
"What were you two doing?" Tai asked harshly.
"We thought we heard something, Tai," Kagome glared at her brother. "Don't go and start," she said when Tai opened his mouth, "or I'll smack you upside the head, and you know I'll do it."
Tai's mouth snapped shut, his eyes confilicted. "Just…stay with the group, okay? We don't know what we could be getting into, so it's best to stay together."
The girls just nodded in acceptance, not letting go of each other's.
'Something's not right about this place,' Kagome glanced around discreetly. 'This entire place is drenched in a very nasty aura…'
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the trees started rushing by them at a rapid speed. "What's going on?" Kari asked. "Why're the trees moving so fast?"
Kagome looked down at the ground and saw that the section she and the rest of the group stood on was accelerating, not the trees. "It's not the trees that are moving faster, it's us!"
Izzy nodded. "The ground we're standing on is accelerating!"
"We've got to jump off!" Tai shouted, pointing to one of the platforms that wasn't moving. "On the count of three!"
"One…"
"…Two…"
…THREE!"
The group of children and Digimon jumped off the speeding routed and onto the platform on the left that hadn't been moving. Unfortunately for them, the platform they landed on began moving as fast as the previous moving route the moment they set foot on it.
"Now this one's moving!" Sora exclaimed. "Someone looks like they want to take us somewhere, and fast, too!"
"But why do I get the feeling that that someone's not too friendly?" Matt added.
T.K gave a shout when he stumbled from the sheer speed the platform was going, grabbing onto his brother in the end for stability.
"This is the first time I've ever felt carsick without the car!" Joe said, face a little pale.
"Guys!" Tai called everyone to attention. "I've got an idea, but we have to be really quick about it!"
The group turned to Tai and looked at him expectantly.
"When I give the signal, grab onto the tree branches," Tai told them. "The ground's not safe if it keep moving like that, so our best bet is to stay above ground."
The DigiDestined and their partners nodded as they turned to the trees, waiting for Tai's signal.
"NOW!" the brown-haired preteen shouted.
And with that said, the group jumped and latched onto the low hanging branches before slowly climbing up to higher ones, just in case.
"I have a hunch that one of the Dark Masters is behind this," Sora told everyone.
"You don't have to guess," Kagome shook her head. "It is one of the Dark Masters, except I can't tell which one it is…"
The group turned to Kagome and looked at her. "That's right," Mimi said, remembering, "you said you'd tell us how you knew about the Divermon and MetalSeadramon!"
"How did you know, anyway?" Matt asked.
"Well, it happened when were knocked unconscious in that shack by Scorpiomon," Kagome began, "I had a really weird dream with a dragon."
"A dragon?" Izzy asked skeptically.
Kagome nodded and continued with her story of what the dragon said, hoe she thought he might have been Oryu, and of the gift he'd given her. She told them how until she sensed the Divermon and MetalSeadramon, she never had a clue about what the gift was. And even when she'd used it, she'd only felt something inside of her telling her what to do.
"Whoa…" the group said in awe.
"I don't know about you guys," Sora spoke up, looking into Kagome's truthful eyes, "But I believe her."
"Okay, so now that that's out of the way," Joe said anxiously, hugging a the trunk of the tree he was in. "Can we get back to the matter at hand? I say we keep going or build a nest!"
"Well I say we'll have to fight whoever it is sooner or later, so let's get to it!" Tai said determinedly.
"Not again with the fighting," Matt said annoyed. "Can't you just go to a neutral corner or something?"
'Here we go again…' Kagome looked back and forth between the two boys.
"Okay why don't we try it your way?" Tai asked rhetorically. "We'll just stay up here and wait for the enemy to come for us!"
"That's not what I meant and you know it!" Matt all but shouted at the brown-haired preteen.
Suddenly without any warning, Tai disappeared.
"What the—"
"What happened to Tai?"
"He just vanished into thin air!"
"Hey Mimi's gone, too!" Kagome said worriedly.
"Oh no!"
"Mimi, come back!"
One by one, each of the Digimon's human partners disappeared until there was only matt, Kagome, and T.K left with the rest of the Digimon.
"We're all that's left!" T.K exclaimed.
"I guess this is the end…" Matt said morosely.
"Don't talk like that," Kagome scolded the blonde preteen. "You'll jinx us!"
"But now what're we gonna do?" T.K asked. "We're separated from everyone else!"
"We don't need anyone else, especially Tai," Matt told his brother. He, then, turned to Kagome and tried apologizing. "Uh, sorry, no offense or any—"
"It's okay," Kagome told him, "I know what you meant. And in all honesty, Tai isn't what you think he is. When his mind is set on the goal, sometimes his brain moves too fast for his heart to catch up."
"What does that mean?" Patamon asked.
"I mean that despite how Tai doesn't seem to care about how others feel," Kagome explained, "he only does what he does because he cares, but he doesn't know how to show it so much."
"You know a lot about Tai," T.K commented.
"She's his sister, T.K," Matt told his brother, "siblings usually know each other the best."
"They do and sometimes their opinions are a bit biased because they know each other so well," Kagome nodded. "But in my case it's a little different."
"How?" Koromon asked.
"Tai's not my real brother," Kagome told them quietly. "Mama and Papa took me in when my parents died, but no one, not even Tai ever let me think that. Everyone, especially Tai, always made sure that I knew I was a part of the family and not just an outsider."
Everyone was quiet for a while.
"Well, I guess then we'll just have to stick together," Matt declared. "Until we find the others, that is."
"Does that mean you're planning on leaving?" Biyomon asked.
Mat opened his mouth to answer, but T.K cut him off. "Listen, Matt, you're my big brother and I love you. But the only reason we got this far was because we worked as a team. Each one of us played a part in keeping us together along the way, including Tai. I know you're trying to be a good brother, but you don't have to protect me all the time; if you haven't noticed, I've fought with everyone and held my own from the very beginning. I know I'm still a little kid, but I think I've grown a lot since we came here."
"But I—" Matt tried saying, but cut himself off when he couldn't find it in him to finish his sentence. 'I'm only trying to protect my brother, but I'm pushing everyone away…'
"Wise words from someone so young," Kagome complimented T.K, to which the young boy just grinned. 'Poor Matt, he only wants to protect his brother because he thinks it's the only thing keeps him with us. But he's got to learn that T.K is beginning to grow up, and that taking care of his brother isn't his only duty…'
Suddenly, just like before, without warning Kagome disappeared with Kudamon around her neck.
"Kagome!" T.K and Matt shouted.
The~Ninth~Child
"Kagome?" Tai asked, helping his sister up. "What's going on here?"
"I don't know," Kagome shook her head. "One minute I'm with Matt and T.K and the next, I'm here with you!"
Just then Kagome felt a strange prickling sensation overtake her body. "Oh no, not again!"
"Kagome!" the brown-haired preteen shouted. "Oh, when I get my hands on whoever's doing this, they'll wish they never touched my sisters!"
The~Ninth~Child
"Whoa!" Kagome shouted as she fell from the sky, only to land in Joe's arms, causing them both to fall to the ground.
"You okay?" Joe asked dazedly.
Kagome nodded. "You?"
"I'll live," Joe said before shouting as he was once again teleported, only to be replaced with T.K.
"T.K!" Kagome said with relief.
"Kagome!" T.K rushed over to her and hugged her around her knees. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"I'm glad you're okay," Kagome sighed in relief. "What happened to you?"
"I ended up with Joe first and then Sora before I came to you," the small boy replied.
"T.K!" came Matt's voice.
The duo turned around to find that Matt had landed behind them and now was running up to his younger brother, kneeling to take him into his embrace.
"I'm so glad you're safe," Matt whispered. He pulled back to check his brother over for any sign of injury. "You are okay, right? Nothing happened to you?"
"Well, there was that time where I started laughin' for no reason, but I think that's it," T.K answered. "I wonder if there something' wrong with me…"
"Are you sure you're—" Matt tried again, only to be shot down by his young brother.
"Hey, I told you to stop worrying so much about me!" the young blonde told his older brother. "I can take care of myself, too, ya know!"
"T.K, it's not that Matt doesn't think you can take care of yourself," Kagome said gently, "it's because he's your older brother that he worries for you. I know Kari can take care of herself, but I still worry about her."
T.K looked up to Kagome and took in her words. 'I guess she's right; I know Matt's only like this 'cause he's really just worried about everyone…' he turned back to his brother to apologize, when a squeaky voice stopped them all in their tracks.
"Oh, T.K!" the voice echoed around the trio. "It's time to pway!"
"Stay close, T.K," Matt told his brother softly.
"Time to pway!" the voice spoke again, only louder.
"He's getting closer," Kagome said with narrowed eyes. "I can't tell where he is, but he's close."
The two older children turned when they heard T.K yelp in surprise. They found the small boy tripping backwards from Puppetmon, who looked as though he were apologetic about scaring the young boy.
"Keep your hands off my brother, Puppetmon," Matt warned, standing in front of T.K, who was being held close by Kagome, "I'll chop you into firewood!"
Kagome closed her eyes briefly, getting a feel for Puppetmon's aura, when she found that it was exactly the same as the aura she'd felt around the entire forest area. 'Well, that explains who the aura belonged to, but why does Puppetmon's signature stick to the forest? It shouldn't unless it's somehow a part of him…'
"Oh, but I just wanted to pway a wittwe game of waw with T.K!" Puppetmon pouted.
'Yeah right, a game to take our lives!' Kagome snorted, her eyes narrowed dangerously at Puppetmon.
"Play?" T.K stepped out from Kagome's arms, despite her sound of warning. "You mean like pretend?"
"But of couwse!" Puppetmon laughed. "At weast in the beginning anyway, but in the end it'll be time for bye-bye and I'ww destwoy you fow weal!"
"He's not going with you!" Kagome told Puppetmon, bringing T.K back behind her as she stood next to Matt.
"Don't listen to him," Matt told his brother. "He's just trying to scare you!"
"Don't wie ow youw noses'ww gwow!" Puppetmon threw what looked like two red rubber ball at Matt and Kagome. The balls exploded on the preteens upon impact and wrapped around their bodies and mouth like a tight bandage wrapping, pulling them together.
Unseen by each other and despite the situation at hand, the two blushed under their bindings at how close they were pressed against each other.
"Now come with me ow I'ww destwoy youw bwothew and sistew wight now!" Puppetmon threatened.
Not wanting his brother and friend to get hurt, T.K just nodded resignedly, not bothering to correct Puppetmon's assumptions. "I pwomise we'ww have wots of fun!" Puppetmon cackled, walking away with T.K following close behind.
Kagome and T.K shouted out to the young boy, but to no avail as their shouts were muffled.
When Puppetmon and T.K were out of sight, the two preteens struggled to get free of their bindings, but the substance was too strong. Seeing as squirming around didn't work, the two tried yelling as loud as they could through the substance over their mouths, but once again, to no avail as the sounds were muffled.
After what seemed like nearly an hour, the two heard a familiar voice. "Celestial Denotation!" several gold-hued symbols stuck onto the red substance, glowing of one, two moments before the substance and the symbols dissolved.
"What the—how?" Matt said, helping Kagome up.
"Kudamon!" Kagome shouted, allowing the fox-like Digimon to rest around her neck once again. "Did you set us free?"
Kudamon nodded. "I'm just sorry I couldn't get to you sooner. I traveled with you as far as Tai, but then I was unable to go any farther, so I had to search you out."
"It's okay," Matt smiled lightly at the small Digimon. "Thanks, though, for letting us go."
"It was my pleasure," Kudamon nodded from around Kagome's neck.
It was then that the human duo remembered the reason they were bound together in the first place. "T.K!" they looked at each other, panicked.
"Can you find him?" Matt asked the raven-haired girl.
"If I could I would," Kagome shook her head. "But this entire place is covered in Puppetmon's aura, so I can't even find him. It's like this entire place is a part of him or something." She turned to her Digimon. "Kudamon, did you see T.K or Puppetmon on your way here?"
Kudamon shook his head sadly. "I'm afraid not."
"Then we have to go and find him!" Matt exclaimed, getting ready to walk off in some random direction.
"Wait—!" Kagome tried stopping the blonde, but before she could say anymore, the ground beneath then began moving once more. The sudden start of the ramp threw the two off guard, causing them to fall into each other.
They tried getting up, but it was no use; they just continued to fall back into each other and so after the third attempt, they just stayed as they were, blushing all the while until the ramp stopped.
"What's going on around here?!" Joe asked anxiously as their Digimon all came to meet them.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling it's not good," Tai muttered right before catching sight of the position Matt and Kagome were in. "What the—get away from her!"
Kagome and Matt jumped apart, faces red. Tai stomped over to them and placed Kagome behind him, going into 'over-protective-brother mode'.
"What was that?" Tai asked Matt.
"No time," the blonde shook his head, trying to get rid of the red flush on his cheeks but only succeeding in lightening it to a pale-pink, "T.K's been taken by Puppetmon!"
"Puppetmon?" Sora gasped.
"He blackmailed T.K into going with him so he wouldn't hurt Matt and I," Kagome sighed.
"Where'd that creepy toothpick take him?" Tai asked.
"I don't know!" Matt said, nearing hysteria.
"Get a hold of yourself!" Kagome put her hands on Matt's shoulders and jostled him a bit. "If you want to save T.K, then calm down and try to think rationally!"
"It shouldn't be too hard to find him," Izzy thought out loud. "That first ramp we were on earlier must have lead to his hideout."
"But wouldn't we be walking into a trap?" Mimi asked.
"It's worth it to save T.K, though," Koromon nodded.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't allow that," a voice stated, "You would be intruding on Master Puppetmon's playtime."
The group turned to the source of the new voice to find a brown bird with no wings and a white mask with green leafy-feathers sticking out from beneath the back of the mask.
"Who the heck are you?" Tai asked.
"Oh no!" Tentomon cried out. "That's Kiwimon! An ancient Digimon that was said to be extinct! And even though he's a bird-type Digimon, his wings have degenerated so he can't fly."
"Where're you keeping T.K!" Matt demanded.
But Kiwimon didn't say a word; instead he opened his beak and began shooting tiny versions of himself out at them. "Pummel Peck!"
Koromon quickly digivolved into Agumon and joined in on the fray, throwing the first attack at the ChibiKiwimon launched their way. "Pepper Breath!"
"How about some Spiral Twister!"
"Super Shocker!"
"Glorious Whirlwind!"
Once the ChibiKiwimon had all been obliterated, Joe suddenly fell down, face-first.
"You okay, Joe?" Gomamon asked.
"Why do these things always happen to me?" the blue-haired boy asked.
"Come on," Kagome said, helping the older boy up, "Up you get."
"Where are you keeping T.K!" Matt demanded.
"Matt, I understand how you feel," Tai tried reasoning with the blonde, "but first we need to defeat Kiwimon!"
"How can you possibly understand how I feel?" Matt scoffed.
"I understand that if we don't defeat him, we'll never get T.K back," Tai snapped. "I know that if it were Kagome or Kari that was taken, I'd be on a rampage by now!"
"No! First we find T.K and then we'll fight your war!" Matt yelled at Tai. He turned to Gabumon and nodded.
The white and blue Digimon looked hesitant for a moment, but in the end decided to as his partner wanted. "Gabumon Warp Digivolve to—Wait, why aren't I digivolving?"
"They're not glowing," Matt looked at his crest and digivice, frightened at what this could mean. "Why aren't they glowing?"
"What's going on, Matt?" Gabumon asked.
'You have the Crest of Friendship,' Kagome thought sadly, 'But right now, you're pushing your friends away to work on your own. That's why it's not working…unless you learn about the power of your crest, it won't glow and Gabumon won't digivolve…'
Suddenly a flash of MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon on opposite sides, both in battle positions ran through Kagome's mind briefly before disappearing as quickly as it came.
'What was that?' The raven-haired girl wondered. 'Could it be part of the gift Oryu gave me?'
Seeing that his opponents were distracted, Kiwimon took this time to attack again. "Pummel Peck!"
Unfortunately, by the time the group saw the attack coming for them, it was already too late to counter it. Right now all that could be done was to watch in horror as the ChibiKiwimon came closer and closer to them.
Suddenly, Biyomon rose into the air. "Biyomon Digivolve to: Birdramon!"
The giant firebird lifted a wing to envelop the DigiDestined and the partners, cancelling out the attack when the ChibiKiwimon made impact with her wing.
Birdramon flew into the air and released two large bursts of fire at the wingless Digimon, causing him to dissipate into particles, the attack getting the best of him.
"Thanks, Biyomon!" Sora told her Digimon after it de-digivolved.
"Sora, do you know what you Digimon just did?"! Matt shouted at the orange-haired girl. "Kiwimon was the only one who knew where T.K was and now we'll never find him!"
"Knock it off Matt!" Tai shouted, shoving his way between his friends. "Calm—"
"Hey!" came a familiar voice. "I'm back!"
"It's T.K!" Mimi said happily, watching the young boy come running to the waving with a smile on his face, Patamon flying right beside him.
"See I told you I could take care of myself, no problem!" T.K grinned.
"No kidding!" Tai gave the small blonde a thumbs-up. "Good job, buddy!"
"You're the man!" Kari told the young blonde.
"You know," Joe said, impressed, "For a kid, that was a pretty big escape!"
'He—He really doesn't need me anymore…' Mat thought in disbelief.
No one, but one, noticed how Matt had been acting throughout the exchange. Kagome watched Matt with sad eyes as the blonde's face shifted from happiness and relief to depression and shock.
'He understands that T.K is growing up,' Kagome thought, 'But I don't think he sees the whole picture…'
She watched as he disappeared in the foliage, Gabumon trailing behind. Kagome knew that Joe had seen them and that she should say something, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Matt needed this time to come to terms with whatever was running through his mind and if they ever hoped to save both worlds from destruction, they all needed to work together; something that couldn't be achieved without Matt.
Kagome thought back to the image she'd seen earlier of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. She didn't know what was going to happen, but she felt that it was going to be good. 'And I hope for everyone's sake that this doesn't tear us apart...'
Ciao,
