A Trap From Two Devils
[A/N: Geez, I hope I don't get in trouble for using the word 'devil' in the title…]
[Disclaimer: Nope, don't own any of this stuff. I made up Shinji and her old Crest, and this neat little idea about Devimon and Ladydevimon being her parents! Heheheheh… o.O… LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!]
Shinji slowly walked through the forest, tears glistening in her eyes. "I'm sorry I had to leave." she kept repeating. "Kai… Myotismon…" she thought, "The family I have created now… I left them." Shinji hardly noticed two shadows hidden by the trees close by. One was an evil Unimon, Shimaunimon. The other was a new digimon, Psychemon. He was just a red Gabumon. "Shall we get her now for Master Devimon?" Psychemon asked. "Just wait a little longer." Shimaunimon replied, "I want to check something." Shimaunimon concentrated hard on something, and grinned. "All right, NOW!!!" he shouted. The two evil digimon launched from their hiding places and towards Shinji. Shinji turned towards them, and all went black.
Shinji fell to the ground, a bloody gash on her forehead from Shimaunimon's hoof. The two evil digimon landed from their jump and were grinning. "Good move." Psychemon praised. "Let's get her back to Master Devimon." Shimaunimon said. "Hai!" Psychemon said. The lizard hauled Shinji onto Shimaunimon's back and hopped on after her. The horse ran off, not minding the continuous lose of Shinji's blood from her forehead.
The evil pair stopped at a castle high atop a mountain, hidden in the gloom and shadows. "Let's hope Master Devimon's in a good mood." Shimaunimon said sarcastically. Psychemon hopped off Shimaunimon and left Shinji there. The two walked inside, dragging Shinji along on Shimaunimon's back.
They came to a large room, a throne room to be exact. "Master Devimon, Mistress Ladydevimon, we have gotten your daughter for you." Shimaunimon spoke. Ladydevimon glanced at the bad wound on Shinji's forehead. "You could have gotten her a little more calmly, I expect?" she asked. Shimaunimon and Psychemon jerked. "ENOUGH!" a male voice tore through the silence. A dark pit appeared before the two evil digimon. "Drop her down there." the male voice commanded. Psychemon was slightly confused, but kicked Shinji off Shimaunimon's back and into the pit. The two walked away, not wanting to face anyone's wrath.
"I don't suppose you really want her back, do you?" Ladydevimon asked slyly. "I will never forgive her unless she truly becomes our daughter again." the male voice replied. "Devimon, you certainly know how to hold a grudge." Ladydevimon sighed. Devimon stepped out of the shadows behind Ladydevimon. "Shinji will not become our daughter unless she does the opposite of what she did so very long ago." he growled. "You've kept this grudge, even after you died, just because Shinji helped a Vaccine type when she was two?" Ladydevimon asked in shock. "VIRUS TYPES ARE NEVER TO HELP OTHERS!!!" Devimon roared in anger. Ladydevimon stood up and walked towards the pit. "Do what you will." she said, "I think I'm going to speak with our daughter."
The demon woman jumped into the pit, the hole disappearing after her. Devimon growled, and walked away.
Shinji lay unconscious against a cold stone floor, not going to wake any time soon. Blood pooled about her head from the gash in her forehead. Ladydevimon sighed at the pathetic sight of her daughter. "But, of course, none of the other Chosen Children are any better." she muttered. Shinji stirred, jerking slightly. She groaned slightly, the pain of the gash starting to fill her head rapidly.
Suddenly, an exceedingly cold touch came to her forehead, covering the gash. "Myotis-san…?" Shinji whispered, thinking perhaps Myotismon had rescued her. "No." a cold, very familiar voice replied. "Ladydevimon!" Shinji said weakly, in shock. She tried to move, but she had lost a lot of blood, and the hand on her forehead was strong. Shinji collapsed against the floor, unable to move. She groaned in pain, nearly losing consciousness again. "So, why haven't you returned to us?" Ladydevimon asked. "Why should I have?" Shinji growled. "Because we are your parents." Ladydevimon replied. "That's a little hard to believe." Shinji growled sarcastically. "Oh?" Ladydevimon asked, "Then I have a question for you. When your 'parents' died, did you feel any sorrow or emotional pain?" "No…" Shinji said slowly. Ladydevimon smirked. "And why would that be?" she asked.
"How would I know?" Shinji replied. "Because they weren't your real parents." Ladydevimon said. Shinji fell silent. She HADN'T felt any sorrow or pain that day… "So, do you believe me now?" Ladydevimon asked. "If I did, I would be calling you 'Okasan', wouldn't I?" Shinji asked. Ladydevimon sighed slightly. She stood up and left. Shinji lay there, confused badly.
The next morning…
Shinji stood pacing around the small room she had been tossed into. She didn't know if she should believe Ladydevimon or not. The gash on her forehead had healed, and the blood was cleaned away. Heavy and light footsteps rang out, echoing around the small room. Shinji stopped moving, pulled her hands out of her jeans pockets, and turning to face where the footsteps originated. Ladydevimon was back, along with… "Devimon." Shinji growled. But what was in Devimon's hand made Shinji's eyes widen in shock. A gleaming sword, probably borrowed from the reborn Piedmon, was what Devimon carried in his hand. Shinji stepped back in fear. He was going to torture her?! "So…" Devimon said, lifting the sword, "You won't believe Ladydevimon?" Shinji was shaking in fear by then. "Then I will have to BEAT the truth into you!" Devimon shouted. He lifted the sword over his head and brought it down, hard and fast.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Shinji cried in pain. The sword cut deep into Shinji's skin, over her left eye. Shinji stumbled back, falling down and holding her hands over the fresh wound. Blood leaked out between her fingers, running down her hands. She opened her other eye, staring straight at Devimon. He began to walk towards her.
An hour later…
Shinji fell down again, not crying out any longer. Devimon had just slashed her back from behind. Ladydevimon stopped Devimon for a moment and walked over to Shinji. Shinji had many bad cuts on her, but none were life threatening. Shinji spat out blood, nearly knocked out from the slashes. The cut over her eye had stopped bleeding, but it was going to be a bad scar. Ladydevimon cleaned off the other cuts that were starting to stop bleeding. "Shinji, just say you believe me and your father will stop." Ladydevimon whispered. "I won't!" Shinji groaned back. Ladydevimon sighed, and stepped away. Devimon stepped forwards, and held the blade close to Shinji's throat. Shinji looked down, and away from the blade. She wouldn't look either Devimon or Ladydevimon in the eye.
Devimon pressed the blade slightly closer to Shinji's throat, the point of the blade pressing into her skin, but not piercing yet. Shinji didn't move. She just sat there, not believing them, and waiting for Devimon to kill her. Devimon sighed and lowered the blade. Shinji looked up in shock. Devimon turned and said, "That's enough for today." He walked away. Ladydevimon glanced at Shinji one last time. The girl turned away and Ladydevimon walked away as well.
Shinji sighed, and leaned back against the wall. She still couldn't decide of what to do. Shinji thought about Kai and Myotismon, and wondered how they were doing. She smiled slightly from a memory of a few weeks after Kai was born…
Two years ago…
Kai couldn't seem to sleep. Shinji was still awake, and Myotismon was somewhere, trying to find more things out. "Oh, Kai-kun…" Shinji muttered. Kai snuggled his head into Shinji's chest, sniffing unhappily. Shinji suddenly remembered a small lullaby from when she was a kid. She began to sing it softly to Kai. Kai looked up at his mother in slight confusion. As the song drew closer to the end, Kai yawned tiredly and fell asleep. Shinji smiled as Kai slowly fell asleep from the soft tune.
Present time…
Shinji started to sing the song to herself softly, forgetting her surroundings.
Ladydevimon always kept a spell open to the room Shinji was in to hear what she might be saying. She jerked when Shinji started to sing the lullaby. "How could she remember that?" Ladydevimon thought.
Very, very, VERY long ago…
It was late at night. Ladydevimon had given birth to her daughter just a few weeks ago and for some reason, the girl couldn't fall asleep. Ladydevimon remembered a human lullaby from a trip to the Real World. Perhaps it would work for Shinji? She had a remarkable likeness to a human, maybe it would. Ladydevimon began to sing it to Shinji. Shinji yawned as the song drew to a close, and then fell asleep.
Present time again…
Ladydevimon teleported to where Shinji was instantly, but remained hidden in the shadows. Shinji continued to sing the song softly, not knowing that Ladydevimon was there. Ladydevimon began to sing the final verse with Shinji, stepping into what horribly little light there was in the room. Shinji nearly paused, but continued to sing. When they finished singing the song, Ladydevimon was just before Shinji, and Shinji was standing up. "O-Okasan…" Shinji said. She and Ladydevimon embraced one another in a tight hug, Shinji finally excepting the truth.
Hidden in the shadows, Ladydevimon and Shinji didn't notice Devimon staring at them. The evil digimon grinned, flashing his fangs. "Perfect." he thought, "I can use the Touch of Evil now."
The next day…
Shinji was finally allowed out of the room, and brought before Devimon. "So, you believe that we are your parents?" he asked. "Hai, I do." Shinji replied. "If you truly do, let me do one thing." Devimon ordered. Even though Shinji didn't like the sound of that, she said, "All right." Suddenly, Devimon grabbed Shinji's head by her forehead. He lifted her off the ground and shouted, "FEEL THE TOUCH OF EVIL!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Shinji shouted. The evil attack sent red and black electricity sparking through the air. Ladydevimon looked on in shock. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Shinji continued to cry out in pain.
Of course, the Touch of Evil has SOME side effects, you know. For Shinji, there were a few physical changes. First off, her hair shortened immensely, above her shoulders, and turned black as night. Her canine teeth turned to sharp fangs, but her eyes stayed the same. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Shinji cried one last time. Shinji was knocked out. Devimon dropped Shinji to the ground, grinning. Ladydevimon raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Nani?" she asked.
"This will ensure that Shinji is loyal to us." Devimon explained. Ladydevimon didn't like the way Devimon wasn't trusting Shinji. Shinji stirred, waking up slowly. Her eyes seemed ice-cold, and hard. Devimon grinned. Shinji knelt down before Devimon and Ladydevimon. "What do you wish me to do, Otousan?" she asked. Devimon smirked again. "Ah, perfect." he said.
[A/N: AH HA, HA, HA, HA! I betcha didn't see that one comin'! I've got a little more insanity up in my head, so let's see how warped I'll make this go along! Well, next part = INSANE!!!]
