Jun: We're back
Naruto: About time I was growing bored
Davis: Tell me about it
Shikamaru: Since we're back after such a long time let's not waste any time
Takato and Tai: Konsu doesn't own the Digimon Series or Naruto
Guilmon and Veemon: Let the fun the begin
Cheering is heard all around. A fierce competition was taking place. One half was cheering for one side, while the other side cheers for the opposing team. The competition was taking place at the one and only Noodle Paradise. The competitors were Naruto Uzumaki and Daisuke Motomiya. The audience were their friends (TK, Kari, Yolei, Cody, Ken, Shikamaru, and Takato), a few of the older kids (Tai, Sora, Jun, and Matt), the chefs, and many customers, one of which was Tayuya, she watching from the back. Jun and Yolei were playing the commenter's for the competition. The meal was the Super Deluxe Ramen BBQ Special, a monstrous ramen dish that usually takes three people to eat.
"Oh, and Davis downs his eleventh bowls, it looks like he's about to blow." States Yolei enthusiastically.
"Naruto just hit number twelve, and now thirteen, wow, what is with this kid's stomach?" Questions Jun disgusted beyond belief.
"Oh, oh, oh, Davis just threw Naruto a fierce challenging glare. What, oh my, he just down his bowl in one go, what a trooper, but can he swallow it?" Yolei leans into Davis's space to get a closer look. Davis's eyes roll to the side to stare at the widely grinning Yolei. Freaked out by the unnatural face, Davis begins choking, but with one smack on the back from Yolei, he swallows his food successfully. Leaning back satisfied, Yolei doesn't miss Jun's accusing glare and wide smirk.
"What?" She snaps, blushing madly.
"No interfering." Answers Jun slowly, her lips twitching.
Meanwhile, Tai, who have long stopped eating to stare at the impressive, yet very disgusting sight, cracks a small laugh seeing the two boys go at it.
"Oh man, I wish I had joined," He groans. "There's no better feeling than pigging out on food in an eating contest, and winning just adds to the ecstasy."
Sora glares at Tai.
"Can't you choose your words better," Sighing at Tai's blank stare, she continues. "Although, I do remember a year ago when you entered that hotdog eating contest," Tai cuts her, his grin wide, his voice full of arrogance.
"And I won."
Grunting unimpressed, Sora continues on as if Tai hadn't said anything.
"I seem to remember that winner with an overly bloated stomach, a green face, whining that his stomach was going to explode because he ate too many hotdogs," Tai turns red remembering this, and he becomes redder once Sora pokes him in the chest. "I also seem to remember it was Jun-chan and I who had to practically roll you home because our parents were out for the week."
Jun stops commenting on the eating Davis and Naruto to comment on this, deadpanning all the while.
"Worst experience ever, so much whining, so much."
Shivering, Jun turns back to her job and resumes her announcing of the eating duo, they picking up speed. Tai's head drops and Kari giggles seeing him. Next to her, also laughing was TK, he giving Tai a Davis-like smirk.
Yolei suddenly shouts out.
"And we have a winner."
Laid out on the ground on his back with a stomach larger than a watermelon was Davis, and on the stool cheering loudly, holding a steaming bowl of ramen was Naruto, his stomach just as large as Davis's, and yet miraculously, he was still managing to shove the ramen down his throat.
"Truly disgusting." Mumble Tayuya walking away, leaving the idiots to their fun and idiocy.
XxxXxXxXxXx
The Park
Gatomon was bored, too bored for words. Usually she would be near Kari's location, keeping a watchful eye on her, but not today, oh no, not today. Today she wanted to do something else, today she wanted to venture out to find something interesting, today she had to be a fool and miss out on an eating contest because she wanted to find something fun to do in a place where there should be fun, but really isn't.
"Oh, why didn't I stay to watch the contest?"
A voice suddenly rings out from a tree above Gatomon's head.
"Hmph, watching two pathetic humans fill their stomachs full of food, does that really excite you?"
"Huh?"
The voice was familiar too familiar for words. Glancing up, she saw it, a BlackGatomon glaring down at her coldly with its red eyes. A cold wind blows. A familiar feeling passes through Gatomon's soul as she stares into the BlackGatomon's eyes. She knew this feeling all too well, there was no mistaking it. This dark version of herself, it was evil, pure unimaginable evil. The hairs on her body stand on end and she hisses at BlackGatomon.
'This creature, she's vile, even more so than Myotismon.'
BlackGatomon giggles darkly at Gatomon's reaction. The little white cat was truly amusing to watch. Since she separated from her partner at the Noodle Paradise, BlackGatomon has trailed the Digimon of Light from the shadows. She was actually waiting for the chance to startle the cat, and when she thought she would just have to make an appearance with no prompt, a chance suddenly appeared.
"What're you doin in the human world?" Demands Gatomon angrily, snarling viciously.
BlackGatomon raises an eyebrow at this, a dark gleam overtaking her glaring eyes.
'Did this little thing just demand something from me?'
No one, except that idiot of a partner she has demands anything from her. Those who do, including her partner, will get a vicious beating or a scar across the face. She was the Queen of Darkness, the Nightmare of all Angel Digimon, the Bringer of Lust, she was Lilithmon. Well, actually, she was BlackGatomon whose final evolution was Lilithmon, but that wasn't the point. The point was, her white counterpart dared to order her around, and she was going to pay.
'Time for this white kitty to learn her place.'
Standing tall, BlackGatomon glowers down at Gatomon, he eyes taking on an intense glow. A thought rings through BlackGatomon's mind as she raises her right clinched paw, her claws appearing one by one when she opens her paw. It was that she has somehow allowed her idiot partner's temper to influence her. This is something she would never admit to anyone, ever, and if she ever did, which was unlikely, she'll kill them.
"Hehehe."
An evil giggle escapes BlackGatomon, power beginning to rise from her body. Gatomon growls, power also rising from her body, she unconsciously drawing power from her partner.
A small distance away under a tree was a sleeping Salamon. It cracks open a sleepy eye and yawns loudly. The puppy digimon lifts its head feeling the power of the two digimon and grins. A shine suddenly engulfs it, and it cries out.
"Salamon digivolve to...Gatomon!"
Grinning wildly, the Gatomon rubs her paw over her mouth, an excited gleam overtaking her red eyes.
"I feel the excitement of a fight, I'm getting excited."
Gatomon leaps to where she sensed the battle, her grin wild and full of excitement.
'I'm gonna enjoy this, I hope Jun won't ruin my fun today.'
XxXxXxXxXx
Noodle Paradise
After the excitement of the noodle eating competition, the group was settling down at a table in the back. Davis groans pathetically, his head resting on the table, his stomach aching terribly. Naruto was in the same position and predicament, his stomach finally catching up with him. Tai was laughing openly at the two, enjoying their plight.
"Oh man, you two are hilarious."
Jun gives Tai a blank stare.
"Just as hilarious as you Yagami."
Tai gives Jun a hard stare.
"Huh?"
"You heard me Yagami."
Everyone quickly tunes out the two, already growing use to their annoying antics, and turn being speaking about something else.
"So," Matt grins widely as he stares at Takato. "I hear you and Hikari-chan been spending a lot of time together," Takato nearly spits out his drink at the random comment, and Tai stops his bickering with Jun to listen in. "Just last week I saw you two in the park eating ice cream, must have been a fun date." Matt shifts his eyes from the red Takato, to Davis who didn't even bat an eye at this. More than a little surprise at this, he shifts his attention to T.K. who was noticeably frowning. Not surprised at this, he focuses on Tai who was glowering at the now shivering Takato, and finally he turns to Kari, and what he saw surprises him.
"Huh?"
The girl wasn't focused on him at all; in fact, she was staring off out the window, not paying any attention to him at all. A bit miffed, he was about to speak again, when he notices it wasn't just Kari staring out the window, it was also Naruto and Jun, their expressions mixed with worry and apprehension. Kari suddenly brings her hand to her right arm the moment a sharp pain hits it, just as Naruto brings his hand to his left cheek, and Jun brings her own hand to her chest.
Recognizing what was happening; Takato shares a glance with Shikamaru, who give him a small nod. The two went to move when Kari and Jun suddenly jolts back out of their seats and to the ground, both holding their stomachs, groaning painfully.
"Ugh." Groans Jun.
"It hurts." Kari groans, her body flinching once more.
Rushing out his seat, Tai quickly moves to Kari's side, checking her over, worried and confused.
"Kari, hey Kari," He shakes her lightly, but she only groans, her consciousness gone, but strangely, her eyes were open. "KARI!" Panic begins to overtake Tai. Memories of the day Kari collapsed at the park when they were kid's flashes through his mind. "What's happening to her?" He glances around, hoping someone had an answer.
Davis was at Jun's side, she rubbing her aching chest, still groaning.
"Damn, what a punch." She groans.
"Punch?" Questions Davis worried.
"It's nothing." She groans, giving Davis a small smile, but she turns to the helpless looking Tai. Her heart aches seeing the despair in his eyes. This wasn't something she like seeing, not at all. Davis follows her gaze, and frowns, seeing Kari's state. Unlike Jun who was making his way to her and Tai, he stays behind, watching on silently from his position next to the silently staring Naruto.
"How come you're not over there?"
Davis gives Naruto a side glance, and shrugs.
"She's fine, she's just in shock," He states softly. "It's just a high sync." Davis stops and falls silent, noticing Naruto's widening eyes.
"Davis, you." Starts Naruto, but was cut off as he's violently thrown back by an invisible force and nearly out the open window.
People gather hearing the commotion. The children are cornered with no way to properly explain why Kari was unconscious with her eyes open, or why Jun, Naruto, and Kari were suddenly blown out of their seats. No one but one knew, and she sighs irritably.
"Are you three done?"
Izumi knew it was a good idea to have followed those annoying kids the moment she noticed them all gathering together. She knew it was a great idea when she noticed BlackGatomon tailing Gatomon. She knew it was the best idea she had in years when she felt the unmistakable wild force of Jun's Gatomon closing in on the other two Gatomon.
'I knew it; I knew this day would come.'
Izumi makes her way through the crowd and kneels next to Kari's side. Seeing the state she was in, she sighs deeply once more.
'I can feel it, this child's Sync with her partner is high, quite high for her first time,' Izumi cracks a small smirk as she brings her hand to Kari's face. 'Must be all her exposure to Takato and BlackGigimon,' Izumi snaps her fingers and Kari suddenly blinks, her consciousness returning. 'The Chosen of Light is truly a powerful one,' Izumi glances to the right, staring behind the crowd of people where Tayuya was silently watching. The moment their eyes met, Izumi gives her a small glare, and the girl walks off without another word, understanding the silent order. 'But Darkness is no slouch either; it's almost time for those two to come face to face.' Izumi helps the dazed Kari to her feet, and pats the girl down softly.
"There now, you guys shouldn't be playing around in this kind of place. If you're finished eating you should get going, if not, keep your head cool and enjoy the food."
Having done her part, Izumi walks away and begins talking with the gathered people, taking complete control of the situation. Kari leans against Tai as he shoulders her, the two watching Izumi work her magic.
"Wow, I never thought I see that woman helping us out." Mumbles Tai.
"Why is that?" Asks Kari tiredly.
"Never mind that," Tai gives Kari a hard stare. "What about you? Are you alright? What was that all about?"
Kari shakes her head.
"I don't know, but, I saw Gatomon, two of them," Whispers Kari low enough so only Tai could hear. Unfortunately, she didn't know Naruto and Shikamaru could hear her as well, thanks to their many years of ninja training. "A BlackGatomon and a Gatomon with gold eyes, and they were fighting each other and, well, Gatomon, I was Gatomon." Kari stares at her hands. She could still feel her fist, Gatomon's paw smashing into the BlackGatomon's chest. It was so real she thought she was actually the one fighting.
'But what was that? It couldn't have been real.'
As if to prove her wrong, the ground shakes terribly, and a light is seen in the distance, a dark light. A pulse goes through Kari's body seeing the light. It wasn't just the sight, but she could feel it, the darkness, it was faint, but she could feel its presence, and it was nerve wrecking.
'What is this?'
XxXxXxXxXx
Gatomon (Jun) vs. BlackGatomon vs. Gatomon (Kari)
"Heheh, hahahahaha."
laughs happily as she ducks and dodges BlackGatomon's fast strikes. To her, this was all a game. The two were nothing more than digimon to keep her entertain and help release her suppressed power.
Ducking from one BlackGatomon's punches, bends her knees further, and suddenly leaps forward, head butting BlackGatomon in her chin sending her airborne stun. A sharp pain shoots through 's head and she yelps holding her aching head.
"Owe, owe, owe, that hurts."
"Then don't use any head butts stupid."
Gatomon strikes from behind with a surprising powerful kick, sending her gold-eyed counterpart flying. hits the ground and slides across the pavement, groaning, but somehow still smiling. She laughs, and quickly returns to her feet, her face a bruised because of the ground.
"Hahaha, that was a nice kick, but it wasn't strong at all," 's grin relaxes, not understanding why Gatomon was so weak. "What's wrong, why are your attacks so pathetic?"
Since was focusing on the Gatomon, she doesn't notice BlackGatomon falling from above. She however does notice her shadow suddenly growing larger and that's when she realizes what was happening and she looks up. However it was too late. BlackGatomon's feet plants into 's shoulders sending her body beneath the ground, leaving only the head visible.
"You simpleton," Groans BlackGatomon tiredly. "This pitiful creature's Holy Ring is gone, her power has greatly reduced," A wicked grin spreads across the black Gatomon's face. "She is no more powerful than a pathetic Child, I'm going to enjoy killing her," Licking her lips, BlackGatomon bounces on her heels, and sings her lovely tune. "Time for death, time for death, lalala, time for death!" BlackGatomon charges Gatomon, power swirling violently around her right fist.
"Darkness Paw!" She cries as her claw appears inches from the wide-eyed Gatomon's face.
'No.' Thought Gatomon shutting her eyes, preparing for the pain.
Seconds passed, and when it the pain didn't come, she opens her eyes to see BlackGatomon's legs suspended in the air. Looking up, she saw to her surprise a girl holding BlackGatomon's pulsating dark claw, face scrunched up in pain.
"What," The girl starts slowly. "The fuck is wrong with you?" She shouts tossing BlackGatomon away. The dark cat flips in midair, righting her body, and lands on the ground softly, her eyes irritated, but her grin strangely wide.
"I should be the one asking that," States BlackGatomon. "Catching a digimon's attack with your bare hands, how foolish can a human be?"
Huffing, Tayuya stares at the bloody hand that caught the attack and stuffs it in her coat pocket. Using her good hand, her left, she helps Gatomon to her feet.
"Thanks." Mumbles Gatomon, not sure what was going on. Though she was grateful at the save, her pride was severely damaged at being saved by a human that wasn't her partner.
"You should head to where your partner is," Tayuya said facing away from Gatomon to stare at the sleeping in the hole strangely. "She's not in the best condition, she needs to see you," Tayuya brings out a digivice, her D-Arc, or what looked like a D-Arc, which in fact was an Advanced D-Arc, an advanced black and gray D-Arc. "Hey Kudamon, get this idiot out." Data shoots from the D-Arc and hits the ground near Tayuya's feet. A portal forms, and from it, Kudamon rises, it smirking coolly.
"On it Tayuya."
"Stop smirking and get to work."
Kudamon's drops its smirk and sighs.
"On it Tayuya."
Tayuya removes her bloody hand from her pocket to stare at it once more. It was faint, but she could see sparks of darkness rising from her palm, healing her wounds. Once more she stuffs her hand in her pocket and focuses on BlackGatomon, only to find the digimon gone. Groaning, Tayuya glares at the sky, whispering softly.
"Why oh why am I doing this kind of shit?"

- Two Hours Later -
- Digital World -
- Koromon Village -
"Okay, I already went over Digimon Cards right?"
"Five days ago."
"Have you been practicing?"
"Yep."
"Have you beaten Kari yet?"
"...No."
"I see."
Tai and Takato sweat drops remembering how unnaturally skilled Kari was at the Digimon Card game. When Takato first revealed his digimon cards to the siblings, they were shocked and excited that he had them. Tai immediately took a liking to the Agumon card, something that didn't surprise him, but when Kari attached herself to the Renamon card, he was surprised, and a bit angry. Thankfully, he was able to conceal his anger, and act normally.
The last thing he needed was to take his frustrations out on her or Tai because of his issues with the card, or better yet the partner of the card. Even now thinking of them caused his emotions to run deeper down the negative road.
However, this wasn't the point. After explaining the rules of the game to the siblings, Takato decided to hold a small tournament to get them some real experience, well Tai some experience because of his D-Arc and Kari, because well, she wouldn't stop pestering him about playing.
The three had their small tournament, and after Takato quickly ended Tai's life, he thought he would do the same with Kari, but to his horror he didn't, couldn't. The girl was a fast learner he found out, and she not only put up a good fight, she almost won.
Yeah, Takato still manage to win...the first round, the second, he lost faster than it takes for Naruto to down four bowls of ramen, fast as hell.
It was unnatural how Kari works her way around Renamon and Gatomon, it made him think of what it would be like if Kari and Rika were to ever meet. The thought worried and upset him.
"Okay," Starts Takato getting down to business. "I guess it's about time I formally introduced myself since we're in the digital world," Takato holds out his right hand and smiles at Tai. "I'm Takato Matsuda, I'm the Chosen of Chaos, and this here is my partner, BlackGuilmon." BlackGuilmon appears at Takato's side in a blur, surprising Tai with its speed.
"I never heard of a digimon like that, but then again, there are many digimon I haven't seen or heard of," Mumbles Tai. Shrugging, he shakes Takato's hand. "Taichi Yagami, but everyone calls me Tai, I'm the Chosen of Courage, and this is my partner Agumon."
Agumon who was by Tai's side, waves at Takato and BlackGuilmon.
"Hi there."
BlackGuilmon smiles brightly at Agumon.
"Hi, wanna play tag."
Takato rubs BlackGuilmon's head softly.
"Not now boy, right now we need to show Tai how to work his digivice."
"Okay, but we can play later right, right Takatomon?"
Tai snickers hearing this, while Takato's head drop.
"Sure boy, but only after we finish today's lesson."
"Okie Dokie."
Tai had to stop from laughing. Despite being a dark digimon, the BlackGuilmon was pretty innocent, something he was very worried about, but by the look of things, he didn't need to worry.
"Okay, first we're going to show them the Card Slash feature on the D-Arc," Takato rubs his head. "But to do so correctly, we need to have a battle." States Takato bluntly.
"Card Slash? Battle? Huh?"
Tai hope this wasn't going where he thought it was going.
"Yeah, in order to use your D-Arc properly, you should have some firsthand experience, and what better way than in a spar and not a life or death battle with some crazed digimon trying to off you."
Now Tai did like where this was going. Never before did he and the others just have their digimon spar with one another. Sure he knew all about sparring to grow stronger, but he never thought of using it personally. Mostly due to his partner being in the digital world, some with not being the leader anymore and a bit of it having to do with never having the time to actually think of it with all the attacks and down time they try to have between said attacks.
Being a Chosen was so great sometimes.
"Okay." Starts Takato. "Firstly, you are now a tamer," Takato holds up his digivice and points to the slot slider on the side. "With this little doohickey here, you can aid your partner in battle like never before. Instead of giving cheer and moral support, which in turns empower them with your spirit, your digital soul, you can use your digimon cards to empower them as well," Takato's eyes suddenly grow cold, and a powerful force expels from his body, actually pushing Tai back, startling him and Agumon greatly. "Guilmon, get ready, you too Tai-san and Agumon."
Agumon sensing the danger, seeing the feral glare appearing in BlackGuilmon's eyes appear in front of Tai protectively, ready to fight the suddenly non innocent looking digimon. Tai saw Takato reaching for the holster on his belt, and he flips it open revealing a deck of cards. Without glancing away from him and Agumon, he draws two cards, and shifts his D-Arc so it was to his side, so he can slide his cards at a moment's notice. Noticing Tai's stare, Takato gives him a cold smile, sending a small shiver through the First Generation Leader.
"Don't worry, we'll trend mildly."
XxXxXxXxXx
- Odaiba -
- Odaiba High -
A flute sounds in the air, a sad, heartbreaking melody traveling all around. An air of serene depression surrounds the area, as the flute continues to play. Playing the beautifully, yet sad melody was Tayuya, she standing at the roof of the school, playing her heart out.
No one knew who played at this time at night, no one knew it was Tayuya, no one but one, and she listens from the shadows, listens as the girl play her heart, play the rhythm of her soul. No one knew she has watched, listened as Tayuya play every night for the past week since discovering her by accident. No one knew who else would join the sad melody of the flute that plays every night at midnight. No one knew, other than her silly annoying brother that she plays the violin and was pretty damn good at it.
Once the flute hits a certain note, Jun joins the girl, her sound, her pain joining Tayuya's in the night sky. Tayuya's eyes open and she stares down at Jun. The moment she did this, Jun stares up at her and gives her a wide painful, yet somehow bright smile. Making a face at the smile, Tayuya focuses on her flute and closes her eyes once more. Jun matches this movement, and continues playing. The two could feel the emotion of the other; they could feel the other's pain and the burdens they both carry. As they continue to play, neither was aware of the faint light emitting from them. From Tayuya a black and gold light shines from Tayuya, while a red light shines from Tayuya. It grows stronger as the two continues to play. Ever so slowly, the lights flash, responding to the other.
Beep Beep Beep
The lights surrounding the two girls fade like a mirage. The music playing stops instantly at the sound. Jun and Tayuya glares at their D-Arcs from their positions, neither aware of what happened between the two. Jun grabs her D-Arc and with a push of a button, Kazemon's voice is heard. Not even bothering to answer her D-Arc, Tayuya focuses chakra into her ear and listens on whatever message Kazemon had for them.
"You ruin a pretty cool concert Fairy, this better be good." Snaps Jun.
An unusual annoyed Kazemon responds back appropriately.
"Quiet you and listen," Snaps Kazemon, miffed that the girl continued to call her a fairy in such a disrespectful way. "Come to the temple, I have to brief you all on your next mission. Shikamaru-kun and the other two are already here, and that one should be here soon, so hurry up, we have no time to waste."
The transmission ends and Jun huffs angrily. Stomping angrily for a few minutes, she packs her violin and shouts out to her music partner, not knowing her music partner was also the other Chosen of her team she had to meet.
"It was great, let's play again soon."
Jun runs off, not seeing Tayuya's amused stare.
"She's strange, but she's also alright."
Chuckling, Tayuya pockets her flute in her holster, and grabs her D-Arc. A light engulfs the digivice and a beam shoots from the screen, piercing through reality. The beam spreads, forming a portal into the digital world, more specifically the Wind Temple.
"Alright, you better have a good reason for messing with my fun Izumi."
XxXxXxXxXx
- Inoue Residence -
"Give me the remote!"
"No way, my favorite show is on!"
"Damn it Davis, stop being an ass and hand me the remote."
"No way, back away Yolei, stop, hey, OOF!"
A pillow attached to a fist slams into Davis's face, sending him off the side of the couch, while coincidently sending the remote in the air. Yolei grins and grabs the remote out the air. Doing a pose, she shouts out loudly and happily.
"VICTORY!"
She receives a shout in response.
"SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"
Yolei shrinks at the loud angry shout of her sister, and settles down, ignoring Davis's groans from the ground.
"Every night," Whispers Davis pathetically. "Every night is the same thing, why can't I ever win?"
Yolei gives Davis a smug stare and answers, her arrogant tone matching her stare.
"Because this is my domain, and you, are a freeloader."
Davis groans once more and rolls to his back, he staring lifelessly at the ceiling.
'It's not my choice that I'm a freeloader,' Davis's eyes darken. 'It's not my choice at all, if I had a choice, I would be with my parents,' Davis corrects himself. 'Jun and I would be with our parents, but we can't.'
A small frown spreads across Davis's face, and his eyes, instead of growing darker, becomes a shade lighter.
'Barbamon, you bastard.'
A cold glass of ice water is placed near Davis's head, and he blinks seeing Momoe (15), Yolei's eldest sister smiling down at him.
"Looks like you have a lot on your mind Daisuke-kun. Drink up, this will cool you down some," Momoe turns to her nervous sister, and her smile drops altogether. "Be nicer to Daisuke-kun, Miyako, or I'll have to punish you severely." A sadistic gleam flares in Momoe's eyes and Yolei shivers once more.
Drinking the super cold glass of water, Davis hums softly, his mood actually calming. But he frowns hearing what Momoe said next.
"I wonder if Jun is alright, she's been gone for quite awhile now."
A deep feeling of dread wells up inside of Davis. There was a possibility that some digimon was after Jun. He remembers what happened last week with Lucemon. Well, he wasn't actually there, but he heard all the details from Kari and Tai, and what he heard was unsettling.
'They're after Jun, I have to protect her.'
Davis thanks Momoe for the water and leaps to his feet. Glancing around for something, he spots the something on the couch next to the oddly staring Yolei. Walking over to it, he picks it up, his partner, Demiveemon, and walks for the door. Yolei slides off the couch and rushes over to the departing Davis. Grabbing him by his arm, she nearly shouts at him, but stops in time and whispers out harshly, remembering everyone else, except them and Momoe were sleeping.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"For a walk."
A vein forms in Yolei's head, and she whispers quite loudly, her voice sending a small tremor through
"Cut the crap" Davis tenses, and Yolei continues. "I know you're worried about Jun, it's written all over your face." She loosens her grip a bit, but her voice grew stronger, yet somehow in a soft whisper. "Don't lie to me Daisuke, if you're worried; just say you are, I would understand, you know that, right?" Davis doesn't reply and he shakes from Yolei's grip, and steps out of her reach.
All was silent for the next few minutes. Yolei stares at Davis's back. She was worried too. After hearing about what Lucemon said about Jun, she was deathly worried. To her, Jun was more than just a friend; she was like one of her sisters. Having known Davis and Jun since she was in diapers, she knew a lot about the siblings, the Motomiya Family in general. The Inoue and Motomiya Family have been close for years, since their parents were actually children themselves. A deep rooted connection, that's what they had, and it pains Yolei to know something was hurting her friends, her family. It hurts even more knowing Davis was growing distant, even more so than he did years ago, when they did years ago.
"Daisuke."
Davis finally responds and what he says surprises her, as he turns to her with a small smile.
"Come on Miyako, help me search for Jun."
Blinking away her surprise, Yolei smiles and rushes to the couch, grabbing Poromon, much to the sleeping digimon's ire, she rushes to Davis's side, and without another word, she follows him out the open door. Giggling, Momoe yawns and takes a seat on the couch. Stretching, she grabs the remote and flips to her favorite show. Smiling happily, she whispers to no one in particular.
"It's always fun to watch those two interact; they'll make a great couple one day."
With Davis and Yolei, the two were walking silently through the neighborhood, searching for Jun. Yolei rubs her arms, feeling the temperature slowly dropping. There was only a few more days left until it was December, and the weather was steadier growing colder as the days passed. Cursing herself for not wearing a thicker coat, Yolei continues to rub her arm, not noticing a frowning Davis giving her an annoyed stare. Poromon, who was on Yolei's head peers down at his partner with its big worried eyes.
"You're shivering Yolei; we should get out of this cold."
"Not until we bring Jun home."
"Jun's a big girl."
"That may be so, but Davis won't return without her," She gives Davis a glare. "Isn't that right?"
Davis doesn't answer, but his frown deepens seeing Yolei's cheeks starting to flush. A soft sigh escapes his lips and without a word, he removes his coat. Noticing the movement, Yolei wonders what Davis was doing, when he pushes the coat her way. The two doesn't stop walking, but Yolei stares blankly at the outstretched coat, connected to the hand of the scowling Davis. For a long minute, Yolei continues to stare at the coat blankly. For a long minute, Davis's face slowly becomes red, growing frustrated as the seconds passed. Poromon and Demiveemon share a look, wondering why humans were so strange. After another second passes, Davis becomes fed up and tosses the coat on Yolei's head shouting, covering Poromon and temporarily blinding Yolei.
"Stop being stupid and put on the coat."
Huffing, Davis continues on down the sidewalk, his face red from embarrassment and frustration, leaving Yolei and Poromon behind. Yolei removes the coat from her head and watches Davis go, perplexed, and yet happy that he would share his coat with her. Putting the coat over her own, she jogs after Davis, her happy smile never fading, even as Davis gives her another annoyed look.
"Thanks Daisuke."
"Yeah, yeah."
Davis glances away, not wanting Yolei to see the blush he knew he was wearing. Even as the air grows colder, Yolei hums happily, and Davis's cheeks grow darker. Even as snow begins falling, his blush doesn't fade. Davis was vaguely aware that he was no longer embarrassed, but very cold, very, very cold.
"Are you okay?"
Davis's cheeks were flushed, very much so, worrying Yolei. Seeing his trembling hands, she grabs them without hesitation, and pulls him close. The embarrassment returns full force, and his embarrassment grows feeling Yolei's arm wrap around him.
"Idiot, you shouldn't have given me your coat, you're freezing like hell."
Yolei moves to remove her coat, but Davis stops her, he gripping his coat tightly. Staring into Yolei's eyes, he gives her a wide shaky Motomiya Grin.
"I'm f-fine."
If Yolei was anyone else, she would let it go with a smile, thinking Davis's action was sweet and heartwarming. Unfortunately, she wasn't that kind of person and she gives the shaking Davis a blank stare.
"No you're not, now put on your coat before I make you."
Yolei takes off Daisuke's coat and holds it out for him. Davis grabs it without protest, scared that Yolei would actually force his coat on him. Slipping it on, Davis releases a small sigh, his body warming. However, he was still shaking, and bad. But it wasn't from him; it was from the small digimon on his head.
"Demiveemon?"
Poromon was also shaking uncontrollably on top of Yolei's head, scaring the girl.
"Poromon, hey what's wrong."
As one, Demiveemon and Poromon answers, fear laced in their voices.
"Digimon."
No sooner had they said this, an echoing chuckle is heard.
"Hehehahahaha."
The snow falling overhead slowly stops and the laugh fades, along with the presence of the digimon. Demiveemon's and Poromon's shaking comes to a stop, the snow stops falling, and the temperature slowly rises. Davis and Yolei share a nervous stare, they obviously thinking the same thing.
This was far from normal
"Hey Davis, let's try calling Jun again, maybe she'll pick up." Suggests Yolei fearfully.
"Sure." Davis reaches for his phone when he notices something behind Yolei, a big something, it grinning maliciously and he pales, he resembling a ghost. Demiveemon shivers at the sight, while Poromon tenses feeling the powerful digimon behind him and Yolei. The digimon chuckles madly and grabs Yolei with its pointy white hands.
"Hey, let me go you freak." Screeches Yolei.
The white frost digimon only laughs and silences the girl by sliding its sharp nail beneath the girl's neck. The tip of his nail pierces Yolei's neck gently, drawing blood, and Yolei stiffens, tears gathering in her eyes. Davis sees red seeing this, his eyes becomes a shade lighter and he roars at the digimon, at the IceDevimon.
"RELEASE HER OR I'LL MAKE YOU!"
IceDevimon grins seeing the anger, the growing rage in Davis's eyes. Licking his lips, he slowly shakes his head no and speaks in his cold, condescending tone.
"Sorry, but I will make this girl my partner. I would choose you, but my Master doesn't want me laying any hands on you."
Davis grows stiff hearing this.
"Master, do you mean Barbamon!"
Davis didn't need to question about Yolei being his partner, because it was impossible, she already had Poromon.
A dark thought passes through Davis's mind as he glares at IceDevimon. 'Yolei already has Poromon, but what if she didn't,' Seeing the cruel smile spreading across IceDevimon's face, Davis knew the digimon knew what he was thinking, what he had figured out, and it disgusted him.
"You catch on quick boy."
This was a double meaning, Davis knew this, but Yolei didn't. The girl's mind was reeling at what she heard, she trying to make sense of it all.
'Barbamon, who the hell is Barbamon,' a chill goes through Yolei. 'And what's with this guy, I can't possibly be his partner, he's nuts.'
IceDevimon continues speaking, and Yolei listens on closely. Captive or no captive, she wouldn't allow information to pass by her without notice.
"Since Barbamon brought me back from the depths of the digital world, I will aid him in his plans."
Davis doesn't hold back his laughter.
"More like you had no choice or he'll delete you."
IceDevimon's drops his grin and he tightens his hold on Yolei, earning a small cry from her, a cry that was like bells in his ears.
"How true," Admits IceDevimon setting Yolei down, much to the surprise of the children and digimon. "This world is full of powerful children with the potential of making me evolve to the next level. It is nothing like the world the Tamers are from, you DigiDestined are many, and they were few, but they were strong, very strong," The Devimon raises his claw in the air, frost covering it. "Before I make my final decision, show me how strong you DigiDestined are, show me you're worthy of becoming my partner."
Holding her bleeding neck, Yolei snarls at IceDevimon, surprising the digimon. Davis expected such a reaction, but the intense glow engulfing her digivice was something he didn't expect.
"Worthy of becoming your partner, are you stupid?" Yolei laughs harshly. "You won't have the luxury to even think of having a partner again after we're done with you," Poromon hops off Yolei's head, crying loudly as he's engulfed in a bright light. "Right Hawkmon?" Hawkmon lands protectively in front of Yolei, her eyes boring holes into the amused IceDevimon.
"You have such a fiery personality, a sharp contrast to Ruki's icy one. I'll have fun testing your might, but it'll have to come at a later time." A dark portal appears beneath IceDevimon and he sinks inside, his bone chilling laughter echoing through the neighborhood. The portal closes behind IceDevimon. Still rubbing her neck, Yolei breathes in slowly and faces Davis, her eyes narrowing.
"Davis what was that all about? Who is Barbamon?"
Davis curses mentally, knowing what was coming next.
"Don't tell me now, tell me with the others, because I'm sure the others would like to now of this new enemy."
Yep, Davis knew this was coming and he sighs, wondering how he was going to explain this without getting an earful from everyone.
"Hahaha." Laughs Davis uneasily.
It wasn't going to happen; he was going to get yelled at big time.

"I have an important mission for you all. On December 1st, two weeks from now, you all will go on a mission to the South Human World to defeat a creature, a digimon of sorts called the D-Reaper," Kazemon's usual playful tone was not present. "If something is not done, the South Human World and its Digital World will fall, and a worst case scenario the D-Reaper will invade the other worlds and destroy them, starting with the digital worlds, ending with the human worlds."
Data suddenly wraps around Kazemon and when it cleared, Zephyrmon was in her place, her icy eyes glaring at the children, showing them how serious this is.
"The D-Reaper is a threat that must be dealt with accordingly. Aid the Tamers and destroy it completely," Zephyrmon focuses her attention on the shivering Takato, his eyes gaining a small red tint. "Do not let your personal feelings get in the way of your mission; do you understand Takato-kun?"
Giving the powerful digimon a cold stare, Takato nods slowly.
"I understand. I'll accomplish this mission without letting my feelings get in the way. But I have a request?" Zephyrmon gives Takato a nod and he continues. "I want to bring my parents to this world, to this Quadrant; I want them to stay with me here."
Zephyrmon gives Takato a small smile.
"Of course, if it is your wish and theirs, I can make it happen."
While Takato smiles, Naruto frowns, an unreadable emotion momentarily flashing through his eyes. No one but Zephyrmon saw this, and the digimon narrows her eyes once more. From her position hidden in the shadows, Tayuya stares at Naruto for a few seconds. She saw the emotion in Naruto's eyes, she knew what he was feeling, and she knew what she had to do to make the fool feel better.
'Hmm, I better prepare.'
Over with Jun, the girl shifts nervously, idly wondering if she should have called her annoying brother to tell him she was alright and would be home a little late.
'Nah, it'll be okay, it's not like he was stupid enough to go out and look for me.'
The poor girl, she had no idea what she's done by not checking in.
