Digimon Re: Adventure Chapter 10:
Things had definitely gone astray; Mimi destroyed her intended plan, whether or not the other girls succeeded on their own end or not, and Mimi is just silently sitting down in the kitchen of her small café of a restaurant from which she had first slept with Taichi.
"Palmon, do you think anybody is going to call me a slut for my fetish?" Mimi asks her plant based partner Digimon, to which Palmon, who is washing some dishes around the kitchen, blinks as she gazes at Mimi with wide eyes.
"That's what bothers you the most?! Not the fact you just casually slept with Flare and Tempest's boss?!"
"Damion's their boss?!"
Mimi is silenced by Palmon's long nails wrapping around Mimi's head to cover her mouth, all the while Palmon looks over the counter in a state of panic, only to see nobody in sight and sighing a bit; letting go of Mimi gently as she calms down.
"Mimi don't scare me like that; he could've literally shown up any moment had he not wanted you to tell anybody the fact he even exists yet alone what you did with him."
"Look, Palmon, I know I accuse myself of being a slut every now and then when I'm alone, but how do you expect me to say no to a man who means no harm but also wants to help me fulfill my own fetish for rapey sexual encounters?" Mimi tells Palmon in a quieter, but still shocked tone.
"… I'll never understand why you passed up on Chris' offer for a night at a hotel."
"There's a difference between a man who wants to fulfill a woman's sexual fantasies, and a man who flat out wants to have his way with you by force regardless of what you tell him." Mimi tells Palmon as her expression puffs up in annoyance and frustration, as Palmon shudders a bit.
"Don't remind me; you had me first achieve Togemon just to kick his ass, and it wasn't pretty because his own Digimon had the advantage." Palmon says to Mimi, as Mimi sighs a bit as she rests a hand on her forehead to rub her temples as she tries to calm down. This was getting too stressful; she recalls how she woke up after having had sex with Damion; she woke up back home, and she honestly could've sworn she had seen him in her house.
Then she comes to terms with reality in simply being home, safe and sound, but nevertheless very frustrated because regardless of who she had slept with between Damion or Wallace, she had broken her promise to herself she had made the day prior; she didn't want the day to come to an end with sex, and she wanted to disprove to her peers that she isn't just a horny slut; just thinking about it makes her shift her legs a bit uncomfortably as she has an arm hug around her belly to push out her breasts as she sweats a little.
No! She doesn't want to feel so horny right now with what she's thinking; she's becoming as problematic as she is being accused of, to where even Mimi herself is accusing herself of being just a hormone addled slut.
Mimi hears a knock on the front door cause her train of thought to be disrupted; Mimi cocks her head, curious as to who could be here. Was it Wallace? Either way, Mimi moves to the front door out in the front yard to see who is here.
"Mimi? Aren't you forgetting something?" Palmon asks from the kitchen, as Mimi doesn't hear her as she moves to open the door up and see who is here.
"Hello, Mimi." Koushirou answers as the door opens to allow Mimi to see him, with Mimi visible to him in turn.
"Izzy? I wasn't expecting you to show up." Mimi points out to him, as she notices a slight blush on Koushirou's face.
"I-I seem to have arrived as you were expecting someone different…" Koushirou says bluntly, trying to keep the maturity in his voice intact; he didn't even seem to register the nickname Mimi had given him, as if he is used to her calling him that.
"What do you mean?" Mimi asks him, as Koushirou looks around for a mirror-like object nearby to get his point across without having to say it flat out aloud. Palmon walks outside from the kitchen as she is about to say something, but stops once she notices Koushirou there; she didn't have any forewarning that he, of all people, would be showing up today.
"… Izzy, why are you blushing? Do I look funny?" Mimi asks, as Koushirou stifles a hesitant, awkward chuckle in his throat, coughing to try and keep himself composed. Mimi, as she looks at herself to figure out the problem, quickly realizes something important.
She's right at the front door, talking to Koushirou, in nothing but her own undergarments.
"Mimi, I can understand if you didn't have time to get dressed this morning, since I'm in a hurry as well and quite frankly I can't have everyone crowding around me at once back at Sora's household right this moment." Koushirou tells Mimi, as he gives a slight tilt of his head, "May I come in?" he asks, calmly, as a flustered Mimi blushes heavily as she allows Koushirou to step inside of her sealed off front yard, as Koushirou shuts the door behind him and begins to pull his laptop out.
"Izzy, mind I ask why you decided to come here of all places?" Mimi asks him, simply, as Koushirou moves to sit down at a table next to Mimi's house and open his laptop up as he boots it up.
"Your company seems the least detrimental to be around, Mimi; I truly appreciate how you had took the time to practice saying the basic details of how Digimon function in this world on such short notice for my sake." Koushirou tells her, as Mimi's expression softens a little bit, more into a neutral state.
"You really mean that?" Mimi asks him, as Koushirou looks at her directly in the eyes, and nods to her before opening up a program on his computer.
"Alright, now I've been given a rare research subject from Ken last night that I've been wanting to properly test." Koushirou tells Mimi, eyes glued to his computer screen as a program loads, all the while his right hand moves to grab for something in his pocket.
"Eeep!" Mimi squeaks in a cute, shrill voice as Koushirou had unknowingly grazed his right hand against Mimi's exposed side; Mimi didn't consider the proximity the two of them were in right now, and Koushirou seems oblivious to what he just did, and simply grabs an item from his pocket and pulls it out, setting it beside his computer.
The item appeared to be a medical vial of some sort; contained within is this amorphous, practically alive, black substance of sticky liquid-like material. Mimi, after a quiet, deep breath, focuses her gaze on the sample that Koushirou pulled out of his pocket.
"Koushirou, what is that…?" Mimi asks, not even realizing she refers to Koushirou by his actual name, although Koushirou doesn't let that escape his notice, as he turns to face her while holding up the vial before both of their view.
"This is a substance from the Digital World called 'Black Digitron', a corruptive substance under most circumstances. At least, that is, in its raw form. In its refined form, it can be used to tame even the most vile of Digimon to be no different from any 'normal' Digimon that exists. Examples would be similar to Taichi's SkullGreymon, which behaves like how he normally does and doesn't go berserk at all despite the nature of his form's species." Koushirou begins to explain, as he pauses a bit as he looks at Mimi closely; when a simple nod from Mimi tells him to proceed, he continues with his explanation.
"However, while I haven't been able to confirm if Taichi is deliberately using Black Digitron to allow access to a tamed SkullGreymon, I am aware at least that the sample seen here came from Meiko's belongings that Ken detected with the Mega Radar back at his office because it was an unverified source of Black Digitron. Black Digitron is not meant to be kept without a license, but for some reason, Meiko carries the substance, and her Meicoomon seems to be ingesting a regular amount of raw Black Digitron for a reason I haven't figured out yet." Koushirou explains more, as Mimi calmly listens.
"So why would Meiko carry around such a substance?" Mimi asks; part of her wanted to derail the entire conversation to remind Koushirou that she's underdressed, and that she feels the need to go inside her house and change into something a lot more covering than mere panties and a bra. Koushirou doesn't glance at Mimi as he focuses on loading the information onto his computer, too fixated on the Black Digitron sample at the moment.
Mimi gazes at the Black Digitron vial for a quick moment; the flash of piercing, red and silver eyes enter her mind, causing her to look around in a frenzied panic, as she feels her heart skip a beat. Those red eyes, surrounding the center, silver pupils, all speak too well of the reminder of Mimi's fling last night with the Prince of the Ultimorian Deities himself. Just the reminder of it causes a heat to rise inside of Mimi and-
"Mimi? Are you alright?" Koushirou asks, his gaze turned towards Mimi's face; eyes unflinching as they keep contact with Mimi's own; Koushirou is fully aware of Mimi's underdressed state, and even though the sight of exposed curves and tanned skin would normally drive any male crazy, Koushirou chooses to remain professional about the situation nevertheless.
Moving to remove his coat, as he moves to stand up and walk towards Mimi, Mimi's eyes close as she bites her lip to hide a whimper as Koushirou moves to place his coat around Mimi to cover her up. Mimi's entire form is trembling, even though the temperature is not too cold, since Mimi's mind is reeling at the thoughts of Koushirou doing more than just giving her something to wear.
'Stop it!' Mimi mentally slaps herself for thinking such a thing from Koushirou. Considering how unprofessional she has been in front of him right now, she should at least be grateful that Koushirou isn't shunning her so far due to her relative lack of modesty.
"By the way, Mimi, Taichi called me earlier asking to know where his sister went off to. Do you happen to know where she is?" Koushirou asks Mimi as straightforward as one could with such an innocent question for a not so innocent mind such as Mimi's own to process.
However, that does cause something to click in her head; Taichi doesn't know where Hikari is, and clearly neither does Koushirou, and Mimi herself wouldn't know because she disappeared earlier from AQUA CiTY because of her fling with Chronicler, and awoke in her bedroom a mere hour ago.
"No, I don't know I'm afraid; I only woke up within the past hour." Mimi answers to Koushirou, as Mimi tries to think where Hikari could be, all the while Koushirou pulls up something on his laptop; a document on a man with blackened eyes with tiny red dots in the center for eyes, and a mechanical right hand and practically sewn on headphones.
One look from Mimi to this poster and it's enough to get her entire expression to take a dark, twisted turn of pure rage, as her breathing becomes heated as she grits her teeth and lets loose a downright hostile, feral growl as Mimi could practically see her vision go full on red in color. Blood practically boils, and even though it could just be a kettle boiling in the kitchen with Palmon worrying about Mimi's angered state, Mimi didn't care at a moment like this, only uttering out a single word alone next.
"Oshiro!"
Hikari couldn't have been any happier right now.
A feeling of relative peace has been going through her mind; she has been walking through the street in the early noon hours heading towards a movie theatre, as Hikari can't even begin to stop herself from humming a serene tune of some kind, as she walks practically with her eyes closed as she doesn't end up running into anybody despite others being on the street with her, including some Digimon on the street with their tamers or simply occupying the same living space as ordinary humans; not even Scumon's or Numemon's nearby stench was able to throw her off of her groove.
In the streets of Odaiba, there are no cars on the street at all, and everyone who lives here merely walks from place to place; numerous Adult Level Digimon, such as a Guardromon wearing a graduation cap, can be seen talking with various civilians in the city, many of which asking for directions to certain areas, or what to do regarding their own partner Digimon as though new to being a tamer. Hikari could remember days in which she could count with just a single hand how many tamers existed in Odaiba, but now those days are long and far gone.
While not everyone has adjusted to Digimon being here, especially the elderly, the youth have embraced them into their culture, and Hikari herself, as well as people as old as Jou are within the age range of such a social group who has embraced the presence of Digimon in their lives.
"Got something on your mind?" Gatomon speaks up from within Hikari's Digivice, as Hikari moves to grab it from her side and open her eyes slowly to look at her.
"No, just kind of feeling at peace; I'm heading out to a theatre to meet Takeru. I figured I'd apologize for leaving him without me yesterday with us watching a movie currently only in theatres." Hikari tells Gatomon, as Gatomon blinks curiously.
"And what movie would that be?" Gatomon asks with an almost child-like curiosity, as if Hikari's peaceful mood is contagious to her, or if she's merely humoring Hikari for being so at peace out in public especially after what has happened the past few days. Hikari closes her eyes and lets loose a calm sigh, keeping quiet as she takes in the memories of what had happened the few days prior, a slow, deep inhale of air as a slow, soft exhale follows, before finally speaking.
"Well, I was thinking about-"
Something pierced her mind when a sudden tint of anger can be felt by Hikari; her eyes snapping wide open, a brief glow emanating from them in the sunlight, and Hikari, calmly, looking around to see where the source of anger could've possibly came from.
"Hello, young miss." A youthful, sophisticated yet arrogant voice enters Hikari's mind near her, as Hikari looks around and notices a relatively tall man with blond hair and an Impmon following near him; Chris, although Hikari's glance at him appears to show she is naïve to who this guy is, or having any knowledge on his encounter with her own brother.
"Hello, my name is Hikari, what's yours?" Hikari introduces herself to the obviously older male before her, as Chris merely looks down at her with a frown.
"Chris, just Chris; I don't have a surname." Chris tells Hikari as bluntly as he could; he was no fool, as despite not hearing Hikari speak her own surname, he could tell from her brunette hair and chocolate brown eyes that she is Taichi's sister. Having a good look at Hikari, he can tell she has a rather delicate frame, and can definitely see why someone like Takeru would have some kind of attraction to her.
Her bust isn't exactly big, but she's not entirely flat either, and her hips are not very wide, but Chris can only imagine how tight Hikari would feel because of that; a mental smirk to himself on thinking of the possibilities with the latter, Chris makes a note of in his head.
"So, if that's all said and done, I'll be on my way now; I hate to be rude, but I'm meeting up with a friend at-"
As she was speaking and getting ready to try and leave, she didn't even realize what snuck out from behind Chris as she could only process mechanical whirring of some sort, akin to a dentist's drill, as the pinpricked red eyes surrounded by empty black sockets, wide eyed and glaring into her terrified own, all the while a Glasgow grin makes itself all the more perpetually present on the man's face.
Gatomon breaks out of her digivice as she looks and gasps at seeing a rather short mix between Korean and Japanese individual moving to take off with Hikari, after already having shoved a chloroform covered right glove across her mouth; Hikari's eyes are still wide in horror, trying to scream out Gatomon's name for her not to try and fight back and simply alert the others.
"Hikari!" Gatomon yelps, as she looks around and sees the streets are more or less deserted; horrifying implications settle in as nothing but clothes litter the ground of various humans, and the discarded remains of some Digimon lay nearby as well.
White Rabbit has emerged in the real world just beyond Gatomon's sights; the screams of a muffled victim being engulfed by White Rabbit's left arm, the individual fingers detaching and revealing a throat within White Rabbit's entire left arm, as the fingers twist and misshapen into makeshift jaws to crunch down on the unlucky witness. The worst part in all of this is simple; Gatomon can see Chris, his Impmon, and what is presumably Oshiro Roy making off with Hikari, but despite the very loud sounds of White Rabbit consuming an entire person alive with its left arm alone.
Gatomon can't see where White Rabbit is within the area, and it's clear the fact Roy and Chris don't even bother to attack Gatomon or take her as well means they don't fear her, and White Rabbit is more than enough to take on Gatomon itself.
Gatomon's hair raises on the back of her head as she turns around and hears a sickening coughing and hacking coming from White Rabbit's trembling, malformed humanoid form, with rabbit antennae and a powerful robotic right arm in view and taking aim at Gatomon and charging up energy from within.
"Freeze!" Several police officers yell towards White Rabbit as Gatomon turns around to face them; their Digimon are all Ultimate Level; Darkdramon, every single one of them at that.
"Don't! Get away while you can!" Gatomon yells at the officers and their Digimon, as White Rabbit turns to face their direction as chirping sounds of electronic clicking can be heard as White Rabbit's eyes light up in different shades of red as they lock onto the officers; one Darkdramon moves into to strike with a clawed weapon in both hands, as White Rabbit suddenly lets out a deafening roar of some kind as its robotic arm glows with an immense energy, before transforming into a vaguely Garurumon-esque head-like shape, as a large blade erupts from the mouth of it.
"̷̪̮͙̪̘̳͚͖̫G͏̰̯̙͞a͏͈̼̘̹̹̺ŗ̧̼͙̕u̪̳͎̲͞r̷̸̨̮̤̺̮̤̙̜u̟͓̳̩̻̝̩͡ ҉̦͙͖̖̜̫̠̥́Ş͔ẁ̵̢͓͎̟̮͎͔ͅͅo̶͕̗͈͖̖̫̳r͏̡͔̯̘͈̩̗͎̖d̨͇!̢̳̮͡!͓̻͔̱͙̭́ͅ!̷̦͠"̗̝̘̻͇̘̬͢ ̝͚̪͈̟̼̰̹̠͜White Rabbit calls out in a mix between electronic and organic sounding voice, before suddenly lifting its transformed arm up and beginning to spin in place to gain momentum, and then launching itself like a spinning top towards the numerous Darkdramon the police officers have, atomizing each of them upon a single hit landing upon them all.
At this point, one of the officers decides to run and bail while they can, all the while White Rabbit's left arm splits into multiple different arms, all of which functioning as jaws and throats, to quickly nab each of the remaining officers by the head first, and then biting down and then tearing through their clothes and flesh as the makeshift jaws from fingers tear and crunch down on them, their screams heavily muffled as White Rabbit consumes them.
Gatomon bolts for it while she still can; she knew without Hikari, she has no hope of stopping White Rabbit; however, because of who Hikari and her were supposed to meet up with until her surprise abduction, she knows somebody who can easily help out with her predicament so long as she can reach him in time…
