Chapter 13: Home
"Okay," breathed Takuya nervously, then he opened the door quietly.
"TAKUYA KANBARA!"
"Eep!" yelped Takuya as he saw the face of his mother the time the door opened wide.
"You're such in big trouble young man! Don't you know how worr…" Mrs. Kanbara blinked as she gasped, "Takuya! What happen to you?"
"Eh?" Takuya blinked as he looked at himself. His clothes are fine, but his body was full with bruises and burn mark. He winced, how could he missed those injuries, "Uh, mom this…"
"Were you harass by some street bully?" asked Mrs. Kanbara worriedly.
An idea then popped on Takuya's head, this was his best chance to get away from trouble. He then begun to moan in pain, "Yeah, they were hitting me till' I faint, when I wake up…"
"Oh my poor baby," whimpered Mrs. Kanbara as she hugged her son protectively, "I'm so glad nothing really bad happen to you. You could've died!"
"Mom," Takuya was blushing, what if some neighbor saw him getting babied by his mom, it would be so embarrassing, 'Oh well, at least I'm not in trouble.'
Kouji and Koichi blinked in surprise when they arrived in Kouji's house. They were trying to go home together hoping to avoid more punishment and to make Koichi to help him make up some lies. Yet, they were not expecting to see Mrs. Kimura sitting in the living room crying with Mrs. Minamoto.
"KOUJI! KOICHI!" shouted Mr. Minamoto, "Where have you two been, both your mothers and I were worried sick. We thought something bad happen to you!"
"So… sorry dad," apologized Koichi.
Both mothers gasped when they took a good look at their sons. Mrs. Kimura was the first to ask, "Kouji… Koichi… what happen to you two?"
Kouji and Koichi blinked as they stare at each other, they were all bruised and received burn mark everywhere, especially Koichi who was dripping blood from the small scratch on his forehead.
Kouji winced, "Oh… this…"
"We… we…" Koichi then try to make up an excuse aside from the fact that they were giving out life and death battle with the seven great demon lords, "We… uh… well… we fell."
"Wha…" started Kouji in disbelief, 'we fell', what kind of excuse is that?
"What do you mean you fell?" asked Mrs. Minamoto.
"Well, we were talking and it was dark when suddenly a truck went pass us. I jumped in surprised since the truck was so near that it almost hit me, and I accidentally bumped hard to Kouji. Then the both of us fell to the side under the bridge, I think there were a lot of pieces of broken glasses when we roll down and knock our head to the wall. We were unconscious then. So that's how we are injured and why we're late," explained Koichi.
'Smooth…' Kouji looked at his twin brother in awe, no wonder he was in an elite school, he was a total genius.
"Is that true Kouji?" asked Mr. Minamoto worriedly.
Kouji blinked when he realize that everyone was expecting his agreement, he then gave a fake wince as he rubbed his head, "Yeah, man my head feel sore."
Mrs. Kimura then hugged Koichi and Mrs. Minamoto hugged Kouji. Both two mothers were hugging their sons like never before and cry.
"You could've died…" whispered Mrs. Kimura.
"I'm okay mom," said Koichi.
"Yeah mom, we're here aren't we?" asked Kouji at both of his mothers.
Both mothers sobbed harder, even the father was helpless to comfort both of his wife and ex-wife. Kouji and Koichi sighed in defeat, just the thought of them falling made them worried like this, they can't imagine how their mothers will take it if they found out what REALLY happen.
Then again, they're grateful that they can get away from punishment. They wonder if the others are as lucky as them.
"Okay, let me get this straight. After you buy the groceries and leave it here, someone kidnapped you and you ran away, leaving a few scratches on you," said Mrs. Shibayama.
JP nodded, "And don't forget that I was the one who beat up the big guys with muscles."
His mother then sighed and glared at him, "What kind of fool do you think I am?"
"But I'm telling the truth, did you see how many scratches I got?" protested JP.
"That scratches can happen if you fall down," said Mrs. Kanbara, "Now you will only have two bread and a bowl of rice for dinner tonight, I hope this will teach you a lesson for not slacking off young man!"
JP sighed in defeat, "Yes, ma'am." 'Wish there are more wounds on me, maybe that way mom will believe any excuse I might made up.'
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?" shouted Mr. Himi.
"I'm sorry…" mumbled Tommy, 'Man, why don't I think of a good reason before I teleported myself to the front door.'
"Did you know how worried we are?" cried Yutaka, "Mom begged dad to call the police, and we almost did! Now you're back with scratches all over you and you have nothing to say?"
Tommy faced the floor, trying not to cry. He's a big boy, he shouldn't cry, "I'm really sorry…"
Mrs. Himi looked at her husband and oldest son, "You two don't be so hard on him. Lets talk about this in the morning. I'm sure everyone are tired."
Mr. Himi sighed in agreement as he walked passed Tommy and towards the room. Mrs. Himi sighed too and looked at Shinya, "Shinya, please help Tommy with his scratches. I'm really tired. Goodnight you two."
Yutaka nodded, "Goodnight mom." He then looked at Tommy who was still looking at the floor and sighed, "Come on, I'm also tired." He then gets a first aid box and motioned Tommy to follow him to their room.
Tommy looked at his brother sadly, 'I wish I can tell you, but… I can't…'
"Zoë!" cried Mimi as she hugged her best friend, "Where were you? I was so worried!"
Zoë blinked as he looked at Mimi, who jumped at her the minute she enter the hotel room, smiling slightly, Zoë tapped Mimi's shoulder comfortingly, "Relax Mimi, I only lose track of time. I met some old friends and end up talking till now."
"You should've called me!" protested Mimi.
"My battery's dead, and I forget the way around so I can't find any phone to call you," reasoned Zoë.
"I was so worried!" Mimi hugged her, "I thought something happen to you…"
"Come on, what could've happen," chuckled Zoë.
Mimi frowned, "You have no idea."
Zoë sighed, she must've worried if Chronosmon decide to attack once again, 'Believe me Mimi, I do.'
Momoe was walking when she heard a fuss coming from her family store. She could hear few voices, which she then recognized right away.
"Where is that girl?" cried Mr. Inoue worriedly.
Mrs. Inoue tone was trembling yet loud, "She could've been kidnapped!"
"You think we should call the police?" asked Chizuru.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea, we don't want to create panic," suggested Mantarou.
Mrs. Inoue glared at her son, "My baby is missing and you're worried that we'll make people panic?"
Yolei then ran to the phone, "I'll start calling the police."
Momoe knew she just had to come right there and stop them, so she opened the door, "Guys I'm home!"
"Momoe!" cried Mr. Inoue in surprised, "Where have you been young…"
As Momoe entered her family store, all the members of the Inoue family gapped and almost bulging their eyes out at the sight of her. Momoe blinked, she was expecting some kind of shouting or long lecture about her being late, not this.
"What are you guys looking at?" asked Momoe.
Mantarou was the first one to find his voice, "Who… who are you?"
"Who am I?" asked Momoe incredulously, "Duh, its me Momoe, who else would I be? Easter bunny?"
"No way," gasped Chiharu, "But… but… you look so…"
"Beautiful," breathed Yolei in awe, "What have you done to yourself?"
Momoe blinked again, she almost forgot that she had changed her look. From her previous clothes, hairstyle and glasses, her present look made her way more charming and obviously give shock to anyone who sees her. But at least her change was not as extreme as Jun.
"Young lady!" cried Mr. Inoue who was trembling, either from disbelief that his daughter was incredibly beautiful or the fact that she was coming home late LOOKING like that, "Explain yourself."
Sighing worriedly, Momoe decided not too make out too much of an excuse, "I was hanging out with Jun and few REALLY old friends. And I lost track of time."
"Then explain how did you be able to get those new look, and are those contact lenses?" gasped Mrs. Inoue.
"Yes, mom it is," mumbled Momoe, "Not to worry, my friend was the one who paid for all this, I didn't have to spend a penny."
Chiharu blinked when he realized something, a girl will only try to look pretty for one particular reason only, and the known low profile sister of her barely know the meaning of being pretty in her daily life, "Momoe, do you by any chance get a boyfriend?"
Everyone froze at that question. Momoe blushed, "Wha… what makes you said that?"
"Well, you must've wanted to look pretty for someone," reasoned Chiharu.
Momoe gulped as her face reddened, she looked at her outfit and most of the colors are green and brown, the color of nature.
Flashback
Momoe looked at Koichi, "Really? But which color?"
"What's your favorite color?" asked Tommy.
"Um… green…" said Momoe as she looked at the green contact.
"Hey, that's Sam's favorite color," chuckled Koichi.
"He likes green?" asked Momoe with a surprise tone.
Koichi shrugged, "He never really show it, but he love green color, he said it reminded him of nature."
"Oh," smiled Momoe as she took the green contact, "Me too."
End Flashback
'No, I refuse to believe that Sam had influenced my choice of color on my clothes, we just coincidentally like the color of nature,' thought Momoe while trying to hide her blush.
Mr. Inoue and Mantarou looked at Momoe in horror, why isn't she saying anything yet she was blushing while thinking of something? It was not a very convincing way to deny something.
Yolei smirked, "So… you went on a double date huh?"
"I did not!" cried Momoe, failed to hide her blushed, "Me and that guy just happen to like the same color!"
Yolei, Chiharu and Mrs. Inoue blinked, Chiharu then grinned, "So there is a 'guy' huh?"
Momoe covered her mouth in horror, "No, I uh…"
"You have a boyfriend?" cried Mr. Inoue in absolute horror, "But… but you're too young!"
Everyone sweat dropped at the comment, Mrs. Inoue slapped her husband shoulder in annoyance, "Dear, she never says something about dating or having a boyfriend. She obviously just liked someone."
"I do not!" denied Momoe, "That's it, I'm going to my room!"
"Wait Momoe…" before her father could continued to what he was about to say, Momoe ran to her room and shut it closed. She sighed in relief, now everyone misunderstand, thinking that she 'likes' someone, which was not really true. At least she was not in trouble for being late, then again that could change in the morning. Suddenly she heard her cell phone beeping. She picked it up to find one written message.
To Momoe,
Congratulation on your first transformation as a human! I found it fascinating how beautiful you looked as Sakuramon, never before the warrior of wood transform in the form of female digimon. By the way, nice new outfit. Did you know you're wearing my favorite colors?
-Sam
When Momoe read his name, she blushed crimson red, "Man… he sure is a smooth talker." Then smiled as she looked herself on the mirror, and giggled as she held her cell phone happily.
"May I help you?"
Jun blinked, when she knocked the door, she was expecting a yell or shouting towards her for going home so late at night. Yet, this one question caught Jun in total unexpected shocked and disbelief. Especially from her own mother, did she not recognize her own daughter? Yes she did changed a lot with all the new clothes and hairstyle, but was she THAT changed?
"I'm sorry, but we're very busy," apologized Mrs. Motomiya, "We're waiting for our daughter, Jun. She's not home yet, and we're all so worried. She never come home this late." She then looked at Jun blanked face, "Are you one of her friends?"
Jun shook her head in disbelief, "Mom, its me."
Mrs. Motomiya gave a silence stare, and in a minute or two, she choked out one word, "Ju… Jun?" Then in a second she simply fainted.
Jun blinked, and finally panic at her unconscious mom, "Mom? Mom! Hey!"
"Mom!" Davis then ran to the front door to find his mom fainted infront of a… pretty lady, "Hey who are you and what did you do to my mom?"
"Its me genius!" cried Jun, "I don't know why but mom just fainted the moment she found out that I am me."
"Ju… Jun?" Davis was trembling in disbelief, He didn't really get a good view since she stood in the dark, but when he clearly see her face, he was sure that it was his sister face. But Jun was not suppose to be this pretty! And her hair was not blue, "Liar! My sister hair is pink!"
"Duh, I dyed it, is it that hard to belief?" sighed Jun.
Mr. Motomiya too walked to the front door, "Jun Motomiya where were you…" he stopped at the sight of the girl infront of him, "Uh, where's Jun?"
"Argh, guys! Cut it out! Do I look THAT different to you?" growled Jun.
"Yeah!" cried Davis, still in the state of shocked and disbelief, "What were you doing that ended you with those clothes?"
Jun was about to answer, but whatever answer she would come out with should not be the truth. So obviously whatever reason she would make up will put her to trouble. She then looked at her unconscious mom and got a perfect idea.
She then smirked as she threw her hair playfully behind, "I was dating. That guy was the one who buy me all this stuff and made me this beautiful. He's such a sweet guy isn't he?"
Both Davis and their father gaped with pure horror and the next thing they know, they fainted.
Jun sighed in relief, "For tonight, I'm safe from parental lecture."
"DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE ARE?" cried Ebonwumon.
"ARE YOU REALLY THAT MUCH OF A FOOL?" cried Azulongmon.
"WHERE DID THE LAST TIME YOU PUT YOUR BRAIN BOY?" cried Baihumon.
"IF YOU WANT TO DIE THAT BADLY, AT LEAST FINISH YOUR MISSION BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO DIE AGAIN YOU FOOL!" cried Zhuqiamon.
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" cried Fanglongmon.
Mystimon and Mummymon were cowering on the corner of the room, looking at five great sovereigns in bad temper was horrifying. Shuu sweat dropped at the scene as he looked at Sam- who happen to be the one scolded at; sitting calmly infront of his big computer.
Sam sighed, "Ok, ok I got it, I got lectured by my friends and now by you five, can all of you give me a break?"
"NO!" cried all the five sovereigns.
"They can be such parents aren't they?" smiled Shuu.
"Spare me," sighed Sam, "Why you're not back to human world yet?"
"Well, I live alone so I don't really need permission to go home late or whatsoever. So I'm thinking about staying here since I have things to discuss," explained Shuu.
Sam raised his eyebrow, "Such as?"
"I believe you've heard some plan made by the seven demon lords and I'm just wondering if you could tell me and I'll think of some plan for the future," suggested Shuu.
"Hm," nodded Sam, "As the oldest in human age from us all, it seems wise to give you update information about our current situation."
"So?" Shuu stared at Sam expectedly.
"I'll tell you when there's no bother in here," stated Sam.
"THE NERVE!" screeched Zhuqiamon.
"We were so worried of you and you call us a bother?" cried Ebonwumon in disbelief.
"You really need to learn some manners boy!" growled Baihumon.
"I never said it was you guys, but since you all admit it yourself…" sighed Sam.
"BUT YOU ARE IMPLYING IT!" shouted Baihumon and Zhuqiamon.
Fanglongmon sighed, "Come on boys, let leave those two alone."
"Wha…" Baihumon started to protest.
"Let them do their plan and let us do ours. Now let us leave them be."
"Alright, alright," growled Baihumon in annoyance.
"Oh before we leave," started Ebonwumon as he looked at Sam, "Just for emergency case, can you tell me what's the password in your computer? Is it that much of a secret?"
"No," shrugged Sam, "No file in my computer is a secret to anyone, that's why I made such an easy password to begin with."
"Easy my ass," grumbled Zhuqiamon, "It took us hours to figure out what it is, and we still haven't figure it out."
"What's your password anyway?" asked Shuu.
Sam smiled, "D-I-G-I-M-O-N, 'digimon'. Easy right?"

"Sam, this is…" started Shuu.
Sam nodded, "They finally decide to take action."
"But we have no complete idea of what they're planning on doing," said Shuu.
"We have plan of our own," stated Sam, "Shuu warned all the warriors of the appearance of the enemies! We'll make our move as well! Hurry!"
