The DigiGuardian. Digimon Frontier.

No owning Digimon here. Only Katrina and Charlie ! Yay! Charlie! Actually.. Charlie owns himself..
Charlie: Yup! I do, I do, I do!

-Chapter Eleven, The chewing gum blob named Charlie.

Katrina Ichijouji isn't a normal DigiDestined like the other five. She is troubled by that fact and goes along alone whenever she can. But when the time comes that she needs help, will she ask for it?

''Katrina!'' Takuya yelled, ''You could of saved us so much trouble! Does it harm you to be nice!''

''Don't know. Never tried.'' Katrina tried to shrug her shoulders, letting out a small hiss of pain.

Takuya slapped his hand to his face and shook his head.

''I give up.'' he muttered.

''Really?'' Katrina asked hopefully.

''No.'' Takuya replied.

''It's because if I let go of Kouji I'll fall, or you would be eating dirt right now, goggle head.'' Katrina hissed.

''You can't catch me, nana-nana-nana-'' Takuya started chanting and jumped around Kouji and Katrina.

'I'd give anything to push him off of that cliff.' Katrina thought darkly as she scowled at the smug looking boy.

Katrina started off walking bravely by herself despite the protests of everyone. She managed to walk a good half an hour before she collapsed on the ground.

''Katrina! Are you okay?'' Tommy asked hovering over her concerned.

''Fine, why would you ask?'' Katrina said through gritted teeth and hauled herself up again.

''Jesus Katrina, just admit you can't walk anymore!'' Takuya exclaimed.

''I can walk.'' Katrina protested and took two staggering steps before hissing in pain and sinking to the ground again.

''Done yet?'' Kouji asked in a bored tone.

''No.'' Katrina snapped and got right back up.

''Tough.'' Kouji replied and in one motion scooped her up in his arms. Katrina shrieked in pain and hit him.

''Are you mental!'' she shouted, ''Put me down!''

''This will go faster.'' Kouji replied calmly.

''Just put me down, Kouji Minamoto!'' Katrina yelled a blush adorning her face.

''Why would I! You can't walk, you-you're slowing us down..'' Kouji didn't mean to say it. He wanted to be nice, but couldn't in front of the others. He knew as soon as he saw Katrina's face that he said something horribly stupid.

''Kouji. Put me down.'' she said icily.

''Kat-''

''Don't Kat me, Kouji. I said. Put. Me. Down.'' Katrina hissed and Kouji slowly lowered her to the ground.

''Katrina. Don't be stupid.'' Kouji said lowly glancing at the others who were looking at them confused.

''I'm not being stupid. If I'm holding you guys up. Then go ahead. Go. Scoot!'' she shouted at Kouji, ''Just fuck off then!''

'Katrina. Remember who you are.' Lady Ophanimon's voice ringed through her mind and Katrina slumped down on the ground.

''Fine,'' she muttered, ''But I refused to be carried like some crippled person.''

''Glad we've got that sorted..?'' Takuya said turning it in a slight question and giving her a strange look.

''Here, Katrina!'' J.P. called brightly and he and Tommy held up two thick sticks.

''You can use these to help you walk!'' Tommy said in excitement handing her the sticks.

''Smart boys.'' Katrina gave them a lopsided grin.

''Wow. Look. Katrina's being nice. And, does it hurt?'' Takuya teased.

''You don't wanna know,'' she stuck her tongue out at him and stood up with help of the sticks, ''You two are genius''' she sighed to J.P. and Tommy, who almost glowed in happiness.

''Right, let's go then.'' Zoe said a little shortly and glared at Katrina quickly before marching off.

''Isn't it nice to have a moment of peace and quiet?'' Bokomon said interrupting the silence around the campfire.

''Let's have some fun and play charades!'' Neemon suggested brightly.

''There went the peace and quiet.'' Katrina muttered.

''I thought you said fun?'' Bokomon said to Neemon slightly sarcastically.

''I always wanted to try that thing, where I'm trapped in an imaginary box!'' Neemon said and started poking a little white Digimon that appeared in front of him.

''Ahh.. If only the box was real.'' Bokomon sighed.

''Exactly my words.'' Katrina whispered to Kouji who smirked with his eyes closed.

''Oh man. I really messed up.'' Tommy said softly, referring to what happened the other day with the battle against Grumblemon.

Zoe had apparently lost her Spirit to him. Katrina had been furious, but she had kept it inside her. Kouji was the only one she knew that knew she was angry.

''It's okay Tommy. What happened wasn't your fault.'' Zoe soothed him, looking down herself.

''Well.. The next time I see that guy, I'll get your Spirit back, even if I have to do it by myself!'' J.P. called out boldly.

''Why would you want to do something like that?'' Neemon asked J.P., bouncing the little white Digimon on his hand.

''Based on your last encounter, I don't think that would be very wise.'' Bokomon told J.P. and tried to get up. J.P. beat him to standing and knocked him back down.

''So what? It sure beats sitting around here doing nothing! She needs my help!'' J.P. exclaimed.

''Oh man. Drama queen is awake.'' Katrina mumbled and slipped her hood over her head, eyeing Neemon and the white Digimon.

''You have a one track mind, buddy. We can't just run out and fight,'' Takuya said and stood up, ''We need to get to the Forest-Terminal.''

''So what? Then we just let him win?'' J.P. said angrily, ''I can't just sit back and let Grumblemon run around with Zoe's Spirit!''

''What about Tommy's Spirit you big boob. Zoe isn't the only one who's Spirit got taken, J.P.'' Katrina spoke up.

''You're one to talk. You don't even have a Spirit!'' J.P. turned to Katrina angrily. Her eyes flared at that and she struggled to get up, Kouji who had sensed the argument coming a while ago swung his legs over her legs so she couldn't get up.

''Mind your ribs, Katrina.'' he muttered.

''It's okay, J.P.'' Zoe tried to calm the guy down.

''No! It's really not okay, Zoe! The Spirit of Wind is yours and you were destined to find it,'' J.P. said heatedly, ''So we're gonna get it back for you!''

''Nice sentiment, but we have more important things to do then fight a battle that we can't win.'' Kouji started too.

''What's your problem, Kouji? You'd be going crazy if your Spirit was stolen!'' J.P. exclaimed, ''But hey, I understand if you are afraid. Even the great Kouji has no chance against Grumblemon.'' J.P. snapped.

''What!'' Kouji asked, getting pissed off.

''Yeah, and as for Miss Brave-Empty-Black-Heart over there. She can't even defend herself against that Digimon that Neemon has, let alone face Grumblemon when he is the one with broken ribs,'' J.P. continued, ''Plus you can't even control your Beast Spirit!'' J.P. pointed at Kouji accusingly.

Katrina was fuming by now. Kouji had gotten up and she slowly got to her feet and took two steps in J.P.'s direction.

''Hey stop it!'' Tommy exclaimed and stood in front of Kouji who was about to lunge for J.P.

''Knock if off J.P..'' Takuya agreed and took hold of Katrina's arm.

''I guess I'm the only one that wants to help Zoe, then.'' J.P. decided for himself and folded his arms.

Katrina's lips curled into a smirk and she shook Takuya's arm off.

''You're right, J.P., or actually you might be speaking for the others too. But listen to me,'' Katrina said lowly to him, ''I do not give a shit about Zoe's Spirit. I just want to get to the Forest-Terminal as soon as I can. You hear me? And I do not want anyone and I mean anyone get in my way. Understand?'' she asked J.P. who took a careful step back.

''Yes.'' he nodded quickly.

''I've had it to up here,'' she placed her hand against J.P.'s neck, ''With you lot. Just do what floats your boat and I'll see you at the Forest-Terminal if you ever get there,'' she glanced around the group and her eyes stopped on Kouji's, ''You aren't following me this time.'' she added and grabbed her makeshift crutches from the ground.

''But- but-'' Tommy started.

''No buts Tommy. See you around.'' Katrina said and walked off into the woods.

''Way to go, J.P.'' Takuya's voice drifted towards her before she couldn't hear them anymore.

'Here you are in the woods. Alone again. Why do you have to keep pushing people away from yourself?' Katrina questioned herself angrily. She whacked a stick against a tree hard and let out a low scream.

''I'm so stupid!'' she exclaimed.

''I'm smart.'' a voice piped up at her feet and she looked down alarmed.

''What the hell?'' she said in shock as she stared down at the white Digimon that Neemon had been playing with.

''I'm Charlie!'' the Digimon said brightly.

''No.. you're a Motimon..'' Katrina said slowly.

''Yes, and I'm called Charlie!''

''Okay. It's official. The Digital World has gone haywire.'' Katrina announced loudly.

''Haywire? Like computers? I'm good in technology!'' the Motimon- Charlie - spoke up happily.

''What about magic tricks?'' Katrina asked hopefully. 'You could magic yourself away then.'

''Nope. I'm Charlie.'' the Motimon shook his head and beamed up at her.

''Sure.. To me you're just a chewing gum blob.'' Katrina muttered.

''Named Charlie!'' the Motimon added.

''Yep. The chewing gum blob named Charlie.'' Katrina agreed dully.

A/N: Méh. Just an unimportant filler. Nothing really important happened in this chapter except for Charlie. You'll see. BUT be prepared for the next chapter!

Preview Chapter Twelve, And then there were two Beast Spirits.

''Fine. But I'm going to tell-'' Charlie started.

''You're not going to tell anyone anything! You are-'' Katrina froze as she saw the smoke rising from ahead of them.

''What happened there!'' Charlie exclaimed.

''Agunimon.'' Katrina whispered and dropped the makeshift crutches.

''What are you going- No! Katrina! You'll hurt yourself!'' Charlie shouted as Katrina started to run as fast as she could towards the smoke.
