Title: Expect the Unexpected
Summary: Kimiko is the estranged daughter of Mitsuo Yamaki. For her fifteenth birthday she acquires the Digimon: Labramon and becomes the fourth Digimon Tamer.
Chapter Fourteen: A Time of Great Panic
"Hey, Princess, what happened to you?"
Kimiko lowered her head and allowed her blonde hair to fall down, cover the red handprint on her cheek. She had been so focused on helping destroy the Tiger Digimon that she had forgotten all about what her friends would say about the mark on her face.
"It's nothing," Kimiko said. A bubble of guilt popped in her stomach. She hadn't been friends with Takato, Henry or Rika for that long and already she was lying to them, but then again, she was already keeping a massive secret from them in the form of her father's identity.
"Yeah, right," Rika said, catching Kimiko's arm and turning her around. She lifted the blonde's head and brushed aside her hair. "It looks like a handprint... are those finger marks? Some one's hit you, haven't they? Who is it? Point 'em out and I'll give them a just dessert."
Kimiko shook her head and struggled away from the red head. "Honestly, Rika, it's nothing," she said. "It's just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding or not, Princess, they still had no right to hit you," Rika argued. "Why are you covering for them?"
"I'm not. I just -"
"Just what?"
"I just don't want to cause any more trouble, OK?" Kimiko asked. "Can we just drop it? It won't happen again."
Rika sighed and let go of Kimiko's arm, she had grabbed it after the blonde had wrestled out of her grip the first time. "Fine," she said. "But if I see you with anymore bruises, cuts or any other kind of damage, I will interfere, got it?"
"Got it," Kimiko said, turning away. She sighed heavily and closed her eyes. How could she tell her friends that it had been her father who had hit her? They'd insist for her to report him. But the fact remained that her father had never been violent towards her before, she was willing to give him the benefit of doubt seeing as this had been a first time encounter.
Waiting awkwardly near the turtle shell, Takato scratched the back of his neck and looked to Henry. The blue haired boy also seemed concerned for Kimiko's well-being, but he did seem to want to intervene as much as Rika, it was almost like he knew Kimiko would tell him - or them - when she felt ready too.
"Right, now that that is over with," Takato said, nervously. "I have come to the conclusion that, after the latest Digimon attack, we are the only chance this world has of survival."
"Whatever gave you that idea, goggle head?" Rika asked with an annoyed sigh.
Takato shot her a meaningful look and then turned his attention to Kimiko. "You OK with this, Kimiko?" he asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Kimiko asked, stunned by the question. Hadn't she proven herself to be a worthy tamer, one that was ready for battle whenever duty called?
"Just checking," Takato said with a light shrug. "This brings me to my next statement. Guilmon and I have a surprise."
"A surprise?" Henry asked, looking between the girls'. They shrugged and watched as Guilmon dug around inside the turtles shell for the all anticipated surprise. When he finally found it, the tamers could see that it was a piece of cloth which had their pictures, along with their Digimon, printed on the side.
"Well, what do you think, huh?" Takato asked, excitedly. "Pretty cool, if you ask me. See, there's Calumon, me, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Kimiko, Labramon, Henry and Terriermon. It's our official Digimon Tamer flag."
"Eh, what are we supposed to do with it?" Henry asked.
"Come on. All teams have a flag or a banner to let everyone know who they are," Takato explained.
"Yeah, but most people in the city are afraid of Digimon or don't believe they exist," Kimiko said. "If you go around waving that thing they're either going to think you are (a) crazy, (b) deluded or (c) they'll try and take the Digimon off us. Just like that guy, according to him we're just kids that don't have a clue what is going on, according to him we're doing more harm than good."
"Kimiko's right," Rika agreed."
"Aw, come on, you guys," Takato said, his enthusiasm dropping rapidly.
Kimiko smiled patiently. "It was a nice thought though," she said.
Takato smiled again, although it didn't reach his eyes. "Thanks, Kimiko," he said, knowing she was trying to make him feel better.
"Whether it was a nice thought or not, it's still a lame idea," Rika said.
"Huh?" Guilmon said before toppling over and landing on top of the flag, snapping the pole in half.
"Oh! Guilmon, you broke it!" Takato exclaimed.
Rika smirked. "Thanks, Guilmon, I owe you one," she said, chuckling lightly.
Kimiko shook her head and looked down at Calumon as he sat on Labramon's back. He was rocking back and forth with laughter. "Humans can be so silly," he giggled.
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
No sooner had she pulled her graphic t-shirt over her head, and adjusted it so that it was comfortable, Kimiko turned to the sound of her phone buzzing from the desk. She quickly crossed the room, eager to see who would be calling at this early hour, and deflated as she saw that it was Takato. Part of her had been expecting her mother, who had been gone for nearly two weeks now, it was a week longer than expected, and Kimiko was seriously starting to miss her.
"Hey, Takato, what's up?" Kimiko asked, answering the phone and removing the toothbrush from her mouth. She had been in the middle of brushing her teeth when she had started to dress at the same time. Multitasking had always been something she had been good at, she got it from her mother. With the phone pressed to her ear she made her way back to the bathroom.
"Hey, Kimiko! Rise and Shine!"
"I've risen and I'm working on the shining," Kimiko replied, inspecting her reflection in the mirror. She spit the little toothpaste that she had in her mouth into the basin and run the water. "Why are you so chipper this morning, anyway?"
"Because I have a brilliant idea!" Takato said.
"It's not the flag again, is it?"
"No. Nope. Not the flag," Takato said. "I was thinking, as Tamers, we should always do our best to try and get the jump on any potential threats. So, I thought we could all patrol around the city today."
"You're kidding, right?"
"Uh, well, no, why, what's the matter?"
"Potential threats? Takato, we've got D-Powers for a reason. They'd tell us if there were any potential threats, and besides, the Digimon rarely attack until there is an opponent there to fight with. I mean, this isn't like Gotham City, OK? I mean, the bad guys aren't just going to start popping up everywhere and harassing innocent civilians until a more worthy opponent comes along."
Takato sighed over the line. "So, that's a no, huh?" he asked.
"Sorry, Takato, but I got plans. Why don't you ask the others?"
"They have plans too."
Kimiko smiled lightly and stared at her reflection. "Maybe if I'm back early we can patrol then, OK?" she asked.
"Sure. Hey, just out of curiosity, where are you going?"
"I'm gonna visit my grandparents," Kimiko said. "But I'm also going to see my mum. It's been two weeks, I miss her."
"Ah. OK. Well, see you later, Kimiko, have fun."
The line went dead before Kimiko had a chance to reply. She shrugged, locked the phone and slipped it into the back pocket of her jeans. She leaned forward on the basin and stared hard into the mirror. The red bloom on her face had gone down considerably, but there was still a mark. In order to cover it she had found a light toned foundation in Riley's cosmetics. She had never used makeup before, but had read somewhere that it was good enough to cover up any bruises on the face. She'd also insisted on leaving her down for a change. It was long enough to cover the area of the bruise without drawing suspicion.
The door opened with a squeak and Labramon padded inside. "Your dad just left," she said, staring up at her Tamer.
Kimiko nodded. Her father had been waiting for her when she got home last night, but she hadn't said a word to him, even though he had tried to speak to her. He had tried to apologise, but despite wanting to give him the benefit for doubt, Kimiko also didn't want to forgive him just yet.
"Are you OK?" Labramon asked.
Kimiko didn't reply right away. Instead she continued to stare at her reflection. What was she going to do? Until her mother returned from Otaru she was stuck living with her father, she could always run off back to the home she shared with her mother, but that would've been the first place that they would look for her, and the second would be the school.
"What am I going to do, Labramon?" she asked. "I can't go home, my dad would never allow me to live there by myself, despite being able too, and if my mum sees the bruise she's going to want to know what happened. I can't tell her that Dad did it, and I can't lie and say someone else did it."
"Why can't you say someone else?" Labramon asked. "You told Rika."
"My mum will want to know who did it to me," Kimiko explained. "She'll want to report them. I can't just put the blame on someone, I can't get them into trouble for any reason, and my mum and dad already have their own problems. I don't want to add any more too them."
"Maybe it will bring your mother home earlier?"
Kimiko sighed. "Maybe," she agreed. "But she'll resent my dad forever after... plus, she'd probably have to give up working as a doctor in order to take care of me, she's another one that one leaves me on my own for longer than a day. The only reason I'm with my dad is because I couldn't go with her, and she didn't want to leave me alone."
"Doesn't she trust you?"
"Of course she does. It's everyone else she doesn't trust."
Labramon stood up and brushed against Kimiko's leg. "Maybe if she knew about me," she said. "Then she wouldn't worry so much. What do you think?"
"Again, maybe," Kimiko shrugged. The idea of telling her mother about Labramon was beneficial. Her mother would feel safer leaving her alone at home, while she is at work or working away from the city. She wouldn't feel compelled to phone home every second of the day, constantly worried that something had happened.
"We could tell her today," Labramon said. "No harm will come to you with me around. It may put her at ease."
"But then there is my father," Kimiko said. "Mum would still want to know about the bruise, she won't stop until she finds out whose inflicted pain onto me. If I tell her it was Dad, I'll never see him again."
"And that's a major problem?"
Kimiko shrugged and then shook her head. "I don't know," she said. The idea of not being able to see her father hurt, not that it didn't hurt before, but the idea of giving up on him or turning her back on trying to get him to change didn't feel right. Kimiko had never been a quitter, no matter how difficult the situation.
Turning away from the mirror, Kimiko scratched Labramon behind the ear and returned to her bedroom. She grabbed her jacket from the bed, slipped on her trainers and headed for the living room complex. The curtains were pulled wide open and sunlight was streaming into the room. Kimiko stood in front of the large window and stared at the city. Everything seemed peaceful.
For the hundredth time, Kimiko sighed. What was she going to do?
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
The train had barely reached the station when Kimiko arrived on the platform. The doors opened and she hurried onboard. Labramon was beside her. Normally they didn't let animals on the trains, but Kimiko had pleaded with the ticket master, insisting that Labramon was well-behaved and trained, and if she caused any trouble then Kimiko had promised to get off at the next stop.
Caving, the ticket master had agreed to let Kimiko take the dog on the train, but she still had to buy a ticket for her. Kimiko didn't mind that, as long as she didn't have to travel alone.
"How long is it from here to Otaru?" Labramon asked.
"It's a long trip, if that's what you mean," Kimiko said. "Mum went by plane, so it only took her an hour and thirty five minutes, but I can't afford a plane ticket and they won't let you on the plane, so we're going by train."
"Is that your way of telling me that it's a long trip?"
"Six hours."
Labramon sighed and lay down at the base of the seat, just under Kimiko's legs. It was going to be a long ride.
Kimiko smiled lightly and rested her head back against the wall of the train. The vibrations and light rocking was enough to send her off to sleep, plus she knew that if she did drop off she didn't have to worry about missing her stop, there was no way she'd sleep for five hours. Thankfully she wasn't even tired, just worried.
In five hours she would be on her way to her grandparents' home. The last time she had seen her grandparents was for her fifteenth birthday, it had been the day her grandfather had given her Labramon as a gift. Kimiko had never thought that gaining a pet would cause so much animosity between her and her father.
"You look terrible, are you OK?"
Kimiko's eyes snapped open and her gaze connected with the soft brown eyes of Henry. She smiled and pushed herself up in her seat as Henry sat opposite her with Terriermon. "Hey, I'm OK just got a lot on my mind," she said.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
Kimiko forced a smile and shook her head. "It's nothing of any real importance," she said.
"If it was, you'd tell me, right?"
"Mhm-hmm."
Henry nodded and looked away from a while. He then returned his attention to Kimiko. "Did you get a call from Takato this morning?" he asked.
"Yeah, he wanted to patrol the city," Kimiko said. "You get one too?"
Henry nodded.
"But you said no?"
"I already have plans."
"Yeah, me too," Kimiko said. "I'm pretty sure Rika's busy today too."
"She wouldn't be caught dead patrolling with Takato, anyway."
Kimiko giggled and nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I swear she thinks everything he does is lame," she said.
"Probably true."
"So what are your plans?" Kimiko asked.
"Just a few errands. You?"
"I'm gonna visit my grandparents," Kimiko replied. "See my mum. After the week I've had, I need it. Plus it gives me a reason to get out of the city for a few hours."
"Where do your grandparents live?"
"Otaru."
"That's a six hour train journey."
Kimiko nodded. "Some time to clear my head too," she said.
"Won't it be time to come back by the time you arrive?"
"This is why I am starting out early."
Henry forced a smile and nodded. He had a sneaky suspicion that Kimiko was hoping to stay in Otaru for a while. He couldn't deny that there was something going on the with the blonde, and while she was denying it to him, only made it all the more influential. He just wished that she would open up to him, but he also knew he couldn't force her.
Silence fell between them as Kimiko laid her head back and stared at the ceiling of the car, while Henry watched her from across the way. Sitting on his lap, looking between the two humans was Terriermon; growing bored of waiting for the tamers to say something else, Terriermon looked around himself in interest.
"You want a piece of me?" Terriermon asked, his voice rising louder and louder within the car. Labramon raised her head from her paws and stared at the bunny above her. He was waving his arms around, punching out to each side as if fighting and invisible enemy. "Hyah! Ho! Hyah! Ho-ho!"
"Could you be any more annoying?" Labramon asked.
"Hey!" Terriermon whined. "It's OK when you say that to Guilmon, but me? That's rude."
Labramon rolled her eyes and lowered her head back onto her paws. She heaved a heavy sigh and then tensed, her head brushing against Kimiko's legs as she looked back up. "Huh? Kimiko..."
"What?" Kimiko asked, looking down. She frowned as she noticed the nervousness radiating from her partner and then reached back for her D-Power as it lit up like a Christmas tree. "Henry...?"
Henry reached for his own D-Power; it too was emitting a bright white light. "There's gotta be a Digimon around here," he said.
"It's a big one too," Kimiko said. She jumped to her feet and looked around; the signal was getting closer and closer by the second. "What do we do?"
"The Digimon's got to be in the subway somewhere. This is my stop, anyway, I'll check the platform when I get off," Henry said, standing up. He quickly departed the train and looked around, shaking his head at Kimiko as she watched him through the window.
"Huh!" Terriermon said, pointing at the tunnel. "It's down there!"
"Kimiko, get off the train!" Henry yelled as a huge white snake with a purple hood slithered out of the darkened tunnel. Passengers throughout all the cars screamed and ran for safety.
But Kimiko wasn't listening. Instead she was staring a small baby boy that had tripped during his mother's fast escape. He was screaming in terror, and Kimiko felt obligated to help him.
"Labramon," Kimiko said, looking down at her partner.
"Let's do it!" Labramon nodded.
Kimiko reached for her cards and drew one from the deck. "Digimodify! MetalGarurumon's Metal Wolf Claw!" she called.
Labramon dove in front of the little boy, opened her jaws and spewed a cloud of freezing cold air at the oncoming arrow. Frost and ice covered the miniature body and caused the arrow to shatter under the frozen temperature.
Scooping up the baby, Kimiko hurried from the train with Labramon hot on her heels. Seconds later the train was completely deleted, but at least they were all safe.
"My baby!" a woman cried, running over. "Thank you."
"It's no problem," Kimiko said.
Labramon looked up as the snake slithered past. "Kimiko, look, we can't let that thing get away," she insisted.
"She's right," Kimiko said, turning to Henry. "We have to go after him."
"Coming through! Watch your toes."
Kimiko looked up as Rika and Kyubimon sped past. "Rika!" she called.
"Call gogglehead," Rika called back. "We need his help."
Kimiko nodded and turned to Henry. "Here," she said, passing him his phone. "He was the last person to call me. I'm gonna go help Rika." She once again reached for her deck of cards. "Ready, Labramon?"
"Uh-huh!" Labramon nodded.
"Alright! Digimodify! Digivolution activate!"
Digivolution.
"Labramon digivolve too... Seasramon!"
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
Clambering up onto Seasarmon's back, Kimiko held on tightly as she hurried off after Rika and Kyubimon. They caught up easily, just as Rika was about to use the hyper speed card to give Kyubimon more power.
"We need to corner him," Rika said as Kimiko became level with her. "Someone needs to get in behind him."
"Leave that to me," Kimiko said. "Let's go for it, Seasramon!"
"You got it!" Seasramon said, taking off from the tunnel. She sped through the platforms, above the heads of panicking civilians and came up behind the giant snake at the end of the final platform. "You're not going anywhere!" she said, attacking with her "Tee Dia!" attack.
The golden arrows were knocked out of the sky with ease.
"Princess," Rika called as she and Kyubimon arrived. "Where are the others?"
"They're not here yet," Kimiko called. She dismounted Seasramon and rejoined Rika on the platform. "Looks like it's up to us for now. Who is this guy, anyway?"
"Sandiramon," Rika replied. "He's an ultimate."
"What? Then we need to Digivolve further, just like Takato did with Growlmon."
"Do you have a blue card?"
"Well, no, but neither did Takato."
Rika sighed and tried to remember how Takato had gotten a blue card last time, but she kept drawing up a blank. "Come on! What makes gogglehead so special!" she complained.
"Kyubimon!" Kimiko called as the giant snake wrapped his tail around the fox and squeezed her tightly.
"Let's see you try two!" Seasramon shouted, firing another round of sunlit arrows at the snake.
The snake hissed and threw Kyubimon aside, crashing her right into Seasramon and knocking them both down.
"You're no match for me!" Sandiramon said, slithering towards the two Digimon.
"No!" Rika and Kimiko yelled.
A barrage of green pellets hit the snake from the left, causing Kimiko and Rika to turn and see Gargomon on the other platform. He was firing his gargolasers at Sandiramon in hopes of drawing his attention away from the cat and wolf.
"Where's Takato?" Rika asked as Henry arrived opposite.
"I couldn't find him," Henry replied.
"Dragon Wheel!" Renamon shouted. She had recovered from being thrown into Seasramon and ready to continue the fight. Tumbling into a revolving circle a blue flaming dragon erupted from her body and swept over the snake, doing very little damage.
The snake laughed devilishly.
"He's laughing at us," Kimiko said.
"Bunny pummel! Hyah!" Gargomon shouted, jumping into the air and punching the snake. It didn't even flinch.
"Tee Dai!" Seasramon shouted, firing her countless holy arrows.
The attacks didn't even faze him.
"He's gone from laughing to smiling," Rika said. "I have a very bad feeling about this, you guys."
"What are we going to do?" Henry asked.
"Gargomon, do you have any bright ideas?" Kyubimon asked.
"Just one - let's not do that again," Gargomon replied.
"That doesn't help," Seasramon said, hovering in the air above Kimiko and Rika. "We have to do something."
"He's powering up!" Kimiko said, stating the obvious. "Huh, what's that?" she added, pointing at the cracking in the ceiling above the snake. It gave way as Takato and Guilmon fell through. The two slid across the snake's head and crashed onto the platform in front of Rika and Kimiko.
"Look who finally decided to show up," Rika said.
"Uh... sorry I'm late," Takato said, rubbing his head.
"Better late than never," Gargomon said.
"We don't have much time, Guilmon," Kyubimon said. "We need you to Digivolve."
"Whatever you say," Guilmon agreed. "I'm ready."
Kimiko looked to Takato who nodded and reached for his card deck.
"Digimodify! Digivolution activate!"
Digivolution.
"Guilmon digivolve too... Growlmon!"
"Well, for once Kazu didn't give me a useless card," Takato said, looking at the new card in his hand. He held it up, along with his D-Power and swiped the card. "Digimodify! Power Activate!"
Growlmon roared as fire surrounded his body, radiating out towards the snake.
"OK. Here come the fireworks!" Henry said.
"Bunny pummel!" Gargomon shouted, jumping at the snake again. He smashed his gauntlet into the snakes face, but the snake brushed him off like an insect.
"Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon yelled, firing her flaming dragon at the snake.
"Pyroblaster!" Growlmon shouted his eyes narrowing as he fired a fireball at the snake. The blast knocked the snake back, causing him curl up on the floor.
He shook with laugher.
"Wait, a minute," Seasramon said, hovering over him. "He's still laughing at us. Who are you?!"
"I am one of the 12 Devas sent by the sovereign one," the snake replied. "You may have defeated me, but my brethren will avenge me."
"Huh? Are you telling me there are 10 more of you wakos coming our way?" Gargomon asked.
"Prepare yourselves to be conquered," the snake said, looking up at Seasramon. He could tell by the way the cat stared that he was waiting to deliver the final blow. "We are the Digimon who refuse to be tamed by mere humans, we will rule this realm, and there's nothing you can do to stop us. The 12 Devas will destroy you all."
"That's enough! Tee Dia!" Seasramon yelled, unleashing a countless array of holy arrows down onto the giant snake. He glowed a bright yellow and then shattered into a million tiny date particles.
Rika hesitated and then looked around at her friends. "Guys, what's a Deva?" she asked.
"I have no idea," Kimiko said, shaking her head.
"We know one thing," Henry said. "That creature was different from any Digimon we've ever fought before."
"Just like the tiger - Mihiramon," Kimiko said. "
"We should be lucky we're not street pizza," Henry said.
"Hey, why don't we talk about this later?" Takato asked. "What do you say we take the elevator out of here?" he pointed to the hole in the ceiling, the same one that Guilmon had created in order to get down to the subway fast enough.
"Very subtle, Takato," Rika said, sighing in annoyance.
"I'm just trying to help," Takato shrugged. He approached the edge of the platform and climbed up onto Growlmon's shoulder. "Come on, you guys, it's better than staying down here."
Kimiko watched as he and Growlmon scaled the wall of the crevice and disappeared from view. Kyubimon followed them with Rika perched safely on her back.
"You are coming, aren't you?" Henry asked as Gargomon jumped up and scaled through the hole in the ceiling. It was a little more difficult with gauntlets instead of claws, but he managed,
"I really wanted to see my mum today," Kimiko said. "But something tells me that all trains will either be delayed or cancelled after this."
"I'm sorry, Kimiko," Henry apologised.
Kimiko shook her head. "It's OK," she said. "It just sucks that's all."
"Come on," Henry said, holding out his hand for her to take. Kimiko smiled lightly and fought back a blush as she took it, and allowed him to help her climb up onto the back of Seasramon, he then climbed up behind her and the two hovered in the air before flying up through the hole after the others.
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
The bright sky of the park was almost blinding after a few hours down in the subway, what was more a whole crowd of kids were waiting for their return.
Kimiko recognised most of them from school, some of them used to annoy her with their constant staring's, whilst Kazu, Kenta and Jerri had been openly friendly towards her, but then, Kazu and Kenta had only done it because of Takato.
A collective gasp rippled throughout the crowd as Seasramon rose out of the hole in the ground and landed on his paws beside Gargomon; Henry and Kimiko slid down off of his back as Kazu broke the silence. "Amazing! You guys are all real," he exclaimed.
"Yep," Takato nodded. "That's Gargomon. That's Kyubimon, and that's Seasramon."
"You already know gogglehead and dinoboy," Rika said.
"Real Digimon tamers - this is so cool!" Kazu yelled.
Henry and Kimiko exchanged small smiles at the enthusiasm radiating off of the group. It had been pretty spectacular when they had learned for themselves that their Digimon were real, so they understood the excitement that Kazu must've been feeling right now.
"Huh?" Henry frowned as a phone rang from his pocket. He took it out and answered it, surprised to find a female voice on the other end.
"Kimiko?"
"I think it's for you?" Henry said, passing the phone back to the blonde.
"Hello?" Kimiko asked.
"Kimiko, where are you? I heard there was an attack on the subway. Please tell me you're alright."
A bright smile broke out across Kimiko's face at the familiarity of the voice on the line. "I'm fine, Mum," she replied. "I just won't be able to come see you today."
"That's a shame, honey, but I understand," Sasha replied. "I'm hoping to be home soon anyway. Hopefully by the end of the week."
"That's great, Mum; I can't wait to see you. Miss you."
"Miss you too, sweat pea. I better go. Love you."
"You too. Give my love to Grandpappy and grandma," Kimiko said before hanging up.
Henry smiled as Kimiko looked his way after she had hung up. "You didn't get to see her," he said. "But you got to talk to her."
"It's better than nothing," Kimiko said.
"Could you two get any sweeter?" Rika asked, pretending to gag. Henry and Kimiko blushed brilliantly and turned away from one another.
The rest of the girls laughed at their expense, while the boys looked positively mortified.
"Hey, I don't think we should be out here in the open with the Digimon like this," Kenta said, realising the potential dangers of being caught with four champion level Digimon. "What do you think, Takato?"
"Yeah, I agree," Takato nodded. "Come on, we better get back to the hideout."
"Are you for real?" Rika asked.
"Last one there has to hang out with Impmon," Kazu teased, turning on the spot and running off.
Rika and Kimiko exchanged looks, smirked and shrugged as they took off after him, overtaking him before he could even leave the clearing.
"Hey! No fair!" Kazu whined, insulted at the idea of being beaten by two girls'.
