DM: Digital Mutants: Series 02: Part 6
[A/N: Anyone care about
Kusanagi's sudden return, and the weapon known as the Oblivion Gun hidden in
his arm?]
[Disclaimer: Don't own.]
"Damn it!" Shinji groaned, rubbing her neck, "You forget how hard someone can kick you in the head after twelve years!" Kari stared at the teacher. "You do realize he almost broke your neck." Tai muttered. Cody blinked a few times before shutting the door somewhat loudly.
The
teachers looked up at Cody quickly. "Uh, Cody!" Kari said, a bit stunned. There was a silence where everyone blinked, just staring at each other.
"So
this is the famed Cody that you've been telling me about." a deep voice
said. Everyone chose to turn to face
the direction of the voice. The man who
had taken the bullet for Cody was awake and alive.
"Hey,
whoa!" Matt jumped, "You shouldn't be sitting!" The man waved his hand dismissively. "Since when have I needed more than a minute to heal a wound?" he
joked with a fanged grin. "But-" Kari
began. To prove the two teacher's
point, the man's eyes widened, and he bent double.
"Ow
ow ow ow ow ow!" he groaned, holding his abdomen. There was a loud crashing as everyone except Shinji
face-vaulted. She just embedded her
fist in the back of the man's skull. "Hey,
I'm injured!" the man groaned when he sat up. A pock mark stood out on the teacher's forehead.
"Then
maybe you shouldn't be so cocky with your healing abilities!" she snapped. The man laughed slightly. Everyone stood back up and sighed. Cody blinked a bit. "So, uh…who are you?" Yolei questioned. The man straightened up and his face turned
serious.
"I
am known as Mikashi Yushimitsu Odaiba Tim Ieayasu." he said. And when the group began to blink, he
continued, "Satoshi Mihosi Otoshi Nick Talentrent Hitomi Evan Valetenez
Ashitaka Michael Pachinko Irezumi Ronin Enkai the Ninth. Don't hesitate to call!" The group all blinked, but Shinji
sweatdropped. "What. Are you talking about?" she asked.
Mimi
was thinking hard. Then it clicked.
"Hey,
now I remember!" she slapped her fist against her palm, "You're Myotismon, the
Ninth Digimon!"
Myotismon
let out a yell, "I hate it when you call me by my full name!" Suddenly, a black cat with green eyes leapt
onto his lap and let out a 'Meow'. Everyone stared. Shinji grabbed
the cat by the scruff of its neck, stood, walked to and opened a window, and
threw the cat out the second-story window. "I don't know where that cat came from, or what it wants, but it won't
stop following me!" she yelled.
"Myotismon…Myotismon…" Yolei pondered, "You aren't the same Myotismon that attacked Tokyo over twelve years ago, are you?" The digimon sighed and looked away. "Well, technically, that was my fault." Kari murmured, "He was looking for me."
"But
he found me." Shinji finished, "I'm his partner." Her hand slid over his discretely, and he smiled slightly.
"This
string-armed loser is the one you kept hidden for all this time?!" Davis
snapped. The cold words caused a spark
to fly through Shinji's spine. "Gods,
what kind of weirdo are you?" the twenty-two-year-old growled, "Or were you
just hiding this guy because he doesn't have any power as a digimon?"
"Davis,
don't put your foot in fire." the head teacher growled, "Choose your words more
wisely."
"Why
in the world should I say anything else?" Davis taunted, "This guy's just a
loser that isn't worth anything in a fight!" Shinji was facing away from everyone, and they couldn't see the rage in
her face. But Myotismon could
tell. Her eyes began to fill completely
with the color of the sky, and the hand over his was beginning to shift to that
of her first form.
He
flipped his hand over and tightened his hold on her hand. Immediately, his partner blinked, and her
body returned to normal. "Gomen."
she said through a psychic link to him.
"Davis,
don't question my strength, for I could easily kill you at any time." the
digimon directed his sight at the teacher. A grin overtook Davis' face as he said, "Let's see then." In what seemed like less than a second,
Davis had his claws out, and leapt at Myotismon. Even faster, the digimon pushed his partner away and jumped
up. With a ripping sound, Davis had
stabbed his fist into the place Myotismon had been sitting, and the digimon was
above him.
Before
anyone could move, Myotismon fell behind Davis and grabbed his arms. Myotismon twisted Davis around and slammed
him to the ground, twisting his arms. "I won't kill you because we need the teachers." the digimon said with a
smirk. He let the teacher go and stood
up, smirking at Davis's discomfort.
Cody
stopped blinking enough to ask his question, "Can I ask who that man was?" "Yes, that's a great question." Yolei said
flatly, "Who was that guy?" The elder
Digi-destined looked at their feet. "Well?" Davis growled.
"A man
who you should fear more than death." Tai started. After that, it was quiet once more.
"Yeah,
real descriptive." Yolei muttered. "How
about a name?" Davis agreed.
"Call
him whatever the hell you want." Shinji said easily, "Kusanagi, Shin, or just…" She sighed and walked to the window. "Or just brother." she muttered. "What the hell does that mean?" Davis
snapped.
"Kusanagi
is my brother." the head teacher said quietly as she walked out the door of the
room. Yolei and Cody blinked in shock,
but Davis just hissed. "I should have
known." he growled, "That guy's scent smelled the same as hers. Evil." An almost invisible grin crept onto his face, and he walked out the door
as well.
"Hey,
loser!" Davis said, shutting the door quickly behind him. The head teacher kept walking, ignoring
Davis. Before she had gotten more than
ten feet away, the quick mutant was before her.
"So,
now all your secrets are up in the sunlight." he taunted, "You won't be able to
hide anything anymore if all your secrets have death involved." Shinji moved around him and kept walking,
her eyes to the floor. "Don't ignore
me!" Davis nearly yelled. He jumped
forwards and shoved the head teacher to the wall. He grabbed her wrists and held them against her back, and his claws
shot from his free hand.
"Now,
do you have any more secrets to reveal to the light?" he growled, shoving his
claws slightly into the skin of her neck. Trickles of blood leaked from three wounds created by the pointed metal,
and Shinji remained silent. "Tell me!"
he ordered. He drove the blades deeper,
and growled angrily. But the growl cut
off into a choke as a hand wrapped around his neck and squeezed.
"We
don't ask you about any secrets that you have." Myotismon growled, "Now let
Shinji go or I'll snap your neck." Davis choked and tried to move, but was unable. But he was able to comply with what the
digimon ordered, and let Shinji's wrists go, but he wouldn't move his
claws. Instead, with a grin, he forced
them deeper. Shinji gasped in pain, and
Myotismon's eyes widened. His other
hand flew up and grabbed Davis' fist. He yanked the claws free from his partner's neck, and literally flung
the other teacher down the hall.
Davis
slammed into the wall, upside down, and slid to the floor. He flipped over and stood back up. "You dare touch her like that again, I'll
rip out your throat!" the digimon roared, his eyes ablaze. Davis snarled and walked from sight. Myotismon whirled around to his partner and
wrapped his arms around her.
"Are
you all right?" he questioned. He
hardly had to ask. Shinji was hardly
standing, just limp in his long arms. Myotismon slid her hair away from the wounds to inspect them, his hand
becoming slick with blood. They weren't
perhaps very harmful, but blood ran from them. "Will you be all right?" he asked.
She
nodded and bit, and leaned harder against him, drawing his arms tighter around
her. He held her as tightly as he could
without hurting her, and just held his hand over the wounds. "I have to talk to Cody." she murmured
suddenly, "I'll meet you back in our room." She pried herself out of his hold with a small smile and bent the high
collar of her shirt back up. The wounds
had healed a few seconds before, and the blood was gone. As she disappeared into the room again, the
digimon looked at his fingers.
His
hand was completely coated with blood, and he moved his fingers slightly. Then, as he turned and disappeared into
nothing, he began to lick the claret-red blood from his hand.
"Cody,
could you come with me please?" Shinji asked immediately as she came into the
room. Cody blinked a few times before
saying, "To where?" The other teachers
looked up immediately at Shinji, wondering what she meant. "Just come." she pleaded. Cody slid off the chair he was sitting in
and nodded. He was a wise boy, much to
his teacher's great joy. He knew not to
keep asking. Cody jogged up to his
teacher, and the two walked from the room.
"That's
it." Yolei said flatly, "That woman just plain creeps the hell outta me."
"So,
is Kusanagi really your brother?" the young boy questioned softly as the two
walked down the hall. "Aa." she replied
shortly, "He is my elder brother. He
killed our parents." Cody gulped almost
silently and stopped speaking. "He is
the one who killed your grandfather." Shinji suddenly said gently.
Cody
gulped again. But suddenly, he was
walking alone. He whirled about to see
Shinji standing by a door with a smirk. "If you're going to help us beat Kusanagi's butt, you have to be a lot
more aware." she chuckled, "And besides, a Kendo warrior should have better
senses." She opened the door, and both
walked into the room.
"Wow,
you got here a lot earlier than I thought." Myotismon laughed, stretched out on
the couch in the room, "What did you do, knock everyone out?" "Shut up." Shinji countered flatly. Cody blinked. "Now, Cody, you remember that Kusanagi ran away right after Joe
blasted him with a little water, right?" Shinji inquired. Though it seemed that it was a lot of water,
Cody nodded.
"Well,
it's just that I've never seen him this weak before. Twelve years ago I cut off his head, and he came back to life in
a few seconds." Shinji said. "It
probably has to do with the fact that you blew him to pieces after cutting off
his head. I think that that sort of
thing would pretty much weaken anybody." her partner countered. "You're probably right, as always,
vamp-boy." she sighed.
"I
hate that name." her partner said flatly, "But I think I've figured out your
power, Cody." "Really?" Cody leapt at
the statement, "What?" Shinji bent down
and whispered something in his ear. Cody's forest-green eyes widened in shock and he said, "Really?" "Would I lie?" his teacher replied.
"I
won't say anything." Myotismon snickered. Cody sweatdropped and his teacher sighed. "One last thing." she muttered, "I want you to come here after
classes from now on." "What for?" Cody
inquired. "To train." Shinji
answered. "Where?" the boy kept
asking. "You'll see." she tapped his
nose with a smile, "But you should be going back to your dorm. It's probably late."
Cody
shut the door behind him with a click and smiled. With some luck, he knew he would be ready for anything.
