END FLASHBACK:
DemiAlimon lets out a small sigh. It had been 2 years since she and the other digimon arrived and started to live with Tenchi and the others. She remembered how she digivolved to Alimon to save Tenchi from Darklimon. "DemiAlimon!" She arched up, as if to fight, only to see Dinomon standing beside her. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Yes? What do you want, Dinomon?". Dinomon shook his head in confusion at the sight of DemiAlimon's sudden grouchiness, but replied that he was looking for Kiyone. "She isn't here. Check inside or something." With that, DemiAlimon ran towards Tenchi, who was gardening.
Disappointed, Dinomon went back inside. He had already checked in the house, except for the bathroom. He was told countless times not to go in. 'But I have to find her.' He thought. He crept up to the door, and reached for the doorknob. Just before he could turn it, he heard a voice behind him. "Wha….Cutekemon?" The brightly colored digimon reared up on his hind legs. He giggled, "Being sneaky comes naturally, eh?" Blushing furiously, Dinomon said that he was just looking for Kiyone. With that, Cutekemon just laughed louder. "Oh, she's in there alright. I just saw her go in about 5 minuted ago."
Cutekemon trotted off, leaving behind a still blushing Dinomon. He looked at the door again. He gulped, and then opened it up quietly. He walked in. He stared ahead, and saw Kiyone with Mihoshi. They both had towels on, and their backs where turned to him. Dinomon took that moment to walk up closer and closer. He was going to tell Kiyone something, then run, but he lost his balance on the edge of the bathtub, and fell in. Kiyone jumped up, and demanded, "Who's there?!". Bubbles formed in the water. As Mihoshi and Kiyone stared, a shadow formed. It looked familiar. Kiyone was about to ask again who was there when all of a sudden, Dinomon's head popped up. He looked dazed at first, but when he realized where he was, his eyes bulged out and he let out a small yelp of humiliation. Kiyone's face turned red, and she let out a scream of surprise. "DINOMON! HOW MANY TIMES DID WE TELL YOU NOT TO COME IN?" Dinomon lowered his head. He knew that he was in for it this time. "I need to talk to you Kiyone." Was his only reply.
Kiyone stared blankly at the small white digimon. "Talk to me? About what?" But Dinomon only gestured her to come out. She glared at him, "Not like this, I'm not!" "Oh…I mean when you get dressed…come out." Dinomon quickly said before any misunderstanding could take place. He blushed slightly, and sighed. He turned around and waited outside the door for his partner human.
What Dinomon wanted to say Kiyone did not know. She reluctantly came out of the tub with a towel around her. She got dressed, and went out the door to see her digimon guardian lying down waiting for her. He looked up at her with red eyes. "Kiyone….it's been….quite a long time since….you know." He said meekly. She nodded, and remembered what happened when she first met Dinomon. "It was like yesterday…"
FLASHBACK:
"Let's get this straight." Ryoko stated, looking at the small digimon sitting in front of Tenchi. The digimon, who's name was DemiAlimon, seemed overprotective of Tenchi because she always followed him almost everywhere. Ryoko continued, "You're Tenchi's digimon guardian?" "Yes, I am. I was assigned to protect him." "By whom?" Ayeka added. DemiAlimon shook her head and said that she wasn't allowed to answer that no matter what. "I think you're a spy!" Ryoko yelled. DemiAlimon perked up her ears. "That is not so." Ayeka scoffed, "Prove it then!". This made the green digimon giggle. She agreed to prove it to them.
"Look there." She said. She pointed at Tenchi's waist. Tenchi looked down to see a device hooked on. "The digivice turned into a D-arc. And it glows whenever I or Tenchi wants it to. See?" DemiAlimon waved her hand in front of the D-arc, and sure enough a small glow came out of the screen. That was proof enough for everyone. Well, almost. One of them still felt awkward around the digimon. Kiyone was this person.
Sasami walked up to Kiyone one day. "Hey Kiyone! Dinner's ready!" She shouted, smiling. Kiyone looked back at the group and saw DemiAlimon perched on Tenchi's shoulders. "I don't want to eat near that…that thing." Sasami frowned slightly. This wasn't like Kiyone. "Why?" "I just don't trust DemiAlimon. That's all." Shrugging, the small girl went back to the group. Kiyone turned away. She sighed and looked up at the sky. The sun was going down and the sky was painted with oranges, yellows, and reds. "Why do they trust her?" She wondered. Suddenly, the sky went dark. Kiyone shot up, and looked around. "Who's there?" She commanded before she ran back to the group.
"Hey! You guys!" Every head turned to her. "Look over there!" Kiyone pointed up to the sky. Mihoshi shot up. "The sky….the sky…turned black!" "But it always turns black when it gets late." Ayeka said, but Ryoko pointed out, "Not this early, it doesn't!". DemiAlimon's ears shot up and she started to glare and growl at the sky. "Rrraaaarrrrrr…rrrrr…rrrr…raaaarrrrr…rrrr…" Tenchi backed away from DemiAlimon. "What's the matter with her?" DemiAlimon spoke in a harsh voice, "He's coming." "Who?" "HIM! BlueGreymon!" As if on cue, the sky got even darker that it was before. A dark figure walked towards them. He was bigger than Tenchi's house, had three horns on his head, and had a blue body with darker blue stripes. His golden eyes glared down at the small Rookie. "DemiAlimon, I presume. Do you think you can beat me when you're just a Rookie?"
"Well, she won't be a Rookie for long!" Tenchi shouted as his D-arc activated. "DemiAlimon, digivolve to…Alimon!" Alimon leapt at BlueGreymon, but the dangerous monster just moved out of the way. "Noble Blast!" "Blue Nova!" The two attacks collided, but Alimon was swept back. Kiyone watched the fight in horror. Though she still couldn't really trust Alimon, she knew she had to. A sky blue light shown in her direction as a digivice formed on her side. Another brilliant blue light glowed in front of her like a beam was coming out of the ground. A small green furry digimon popped out. "Hello! I'm Tatomon and I will be your digimon guardian, Kiyone!" He smiled. "You're….my digimon guardian?" Tatomon nodded. Before Kiyone could say anything her digivice activated. "Tatomon, digivolve to…..Dinomon!" Kiyone stepped back. The digimon didn't get much bigger. "I'm at the Rookie level, but I'm tougher than I look!"
The small white digimon rushed forward, and attacked BlueGreymon by slashing at his eyes. BlueGreymon screamed and pulled back. This gave Alimon her chance. "Noble Blast!" A large fire ball shot from her mouth and collided with BlueGreymon's chest. "Okay. I've seen enough of you. But don't think this is the end of it!" He stopped off. Alimon devolved back into DemiAlimon. She looked at Dinomon with some jealousy in her eyes. "I could have done it alone, you know." Dinomon just laughed. "Yeah right! You were just getting beat up!" The two Rookie digimon quarreled. Kiyone sweatdropped, but then looked at her digivice and watched as it slowly turned into a D-arc.
