Chapter 2: Red Bandana
Lillymon and Beelzebumon stared at each other for, what it seemed like, an eternity. They had a million thoughts chattering away in their minds, about each other.
(Beelzebumon's P.O.V)
Why the hell did I only remember her name? I don't remember anything before Ai and Makato…except for her. Everything's a little fuzzy, but she is the only thing I remember; how she treated me and…cared. When I was about dead, she nursed me back to health. I was even falling in love…NO! I refuse to fall in love! I will never fall in love again! Ever again…
(Chrysanthemum's P.O.V)
H…he remembers my name?! How did he remember my name? I thought Impy was gone after that incident…wait, did I just think "Impy?" I used to feel like that for him, before that monster, not Impmon, destroyed my tribe, my life, and my childhood...I have to concentrate on my mission, kill Beelzebumon.
"What are you doing here?" Beelzebumon asked.
"I'm here," Chrysanthemum said as she walked closer, "to kill you, you heartless bastard! How the hell could you destroy my whole tribe after we helped you? Cared for you, accepted you as one of our own?"
Beelzebumon closed his eyes and turned his back to the Lillymon, "I have no idea what you are talking about. I remember nothing before coming to the Real World."
"How could you not remember?" Chrysanthemum had tears streaming down her face, "all those times we helped you? How we saved you from certain death?" the assassin Lillymon then noticed the red bandana around Beelzebumon's arm. "Don't you remember anything?" She pointed to his arm; "I gave you that, for a bandage for your arm when you were badly injured. Do you remember?"
Beelzebumon looked down to his arm and thought hard about it. "I don't remember. I had this as a scarf as Impmon, nothing more."
"Oh really?" the Lillymon, Chrysanthemum, said, "So where did you get that red bandana from?"
"I don't remember anything before going to the Real World," Beelzebumon said, "except…" he paused for a moment and looked away again.
"Except what?" Chrysanthemum asked.
"You." Beelzebumon turned around to face the Lillymon, "nothing else. Now let me ask again, WHAT do you want?"
'He remembers me…' Chrysanthemum thought. "You know damn well what I'm doing here," the assassin Lillymon clenched her fists, "you're the damn bastard that destroyed my tribe and life."
"So, you're looking for a fight," Beelzebumon smirked evilly changing the subject, "good, I was looking for a fight."
"I'm just here to carry out a mission to kill," Chrysanthemum said coldly, "and you're my target."
"Ha, well looks like you're gonna fail the mission," Beelzebumon pulled out his twin guns, "because I'm getting the first hit."
"You can try, you damn bastard." The quick, trained Lillymon started to rush at Beelzebumon.
The two started to fight, hand to hand combat. Beelzebumon blocked shots and hits with his guns, counter attacking with hard hits. Chrysanthemum was able to land a hit directly on Beelzebumon's mouth that knocked him away for a moment. He quickly pushed the Lillymon away with his two guns.
"You're pretty good," Beelzebumon wiped his mouth, "but not good enough! DOUBLE IMPACT!"
The flower digimon quickly jumped out of the way and flew high above Beelzebumon. She pulled out a large cannon in a form of a bulb of a flower "So, you have guns. Say hello to my cannon! FLOWER CANNON!" The bulb "blossomed" to a flower and shot a high concentration of energy.
Beelzebumon quickly raised his guns to the air, "DOUBLE IMPACT!" The two blasts met each other in mid-air and a large explosion took place, knocking both of them to opposite directions by a large concussion effect. Both Chrysanthemum and Beelzebumon suddenly had a flashback of when Cris was taking care of Impmon, as they were both flying back by the concussion blast.
*****Flashback*****
"He's pretty beat up, look at his arm! Cris take care of him and when he wakes up, feed him. We'll be back to check on him." A male Palmon told Cris as him and other male Palmons left the hut. Cris looked down at the badly injured demon digimon and cringed at the injuries.
'He is beat up pretty bad, and that arm looks worse I have to get a bandage for that arm.' Cris looked around the room for a large bandage, but could not find one. 'I can't find one large enough, and were losing him, quickly. Think…' Cris looked around the room again. She noticed her handmade red bandana that was made as a special gift from an elder Palmon, 'I need to use it, and I'll get it back from him when he's healed, but right now I need to use it.' Cris grabbed the special red bandana and went to Impmon.
"Alright," Cris grabbed the stick and pulled it out, Impmon grunted as he felt the pain, "it's okay, you're fine now." Cris wrapped the red bandana around Impmon's arm. When she was about to walk away from him to let him rest, she heard a very soft "Thank You." Cris smiled at the injured digimon. 'Sleep well…'
Impmon recovered and his arm was fully healed. He became best friends with Chrysanthemum and one night they were talking under a clear night sky.
"Thanks for healing me Cris, I owe you my life." Impmon turned to Chrysanthemum and smiled.
"Just doing what they told me to do, and that was to help you, Impy…" Cris said to Impmon, "I can call you that right?"
Impmon blushed a little, "I only let my best friends call me that. Well, friends and romantic partners…"
"Well, just think of me as a best friend." Cris smiled at Impmon.
Impmon looked down at his gloved hand that held the small red bandana that was once wrapped around his arm. "Here, I have to give this back." Impmon tried to hand the bandana to the young female Palmon.
"No, keep it," Cris said to Impmon as she kindly rejected the red bandana that was used as a bandage, "think of it as my token of our friendship."
"Thanks," Impmon looked at it again, "where would I put it?"
"Put it some place where you would never forget it." Cris suggested as she looked into Impmon's green caring eyes.
"I don't have anything to hold it in," Impmon said, "hey, maybe I'll put it around my neck, like a scarf." Impmon put it around his neck while Cris helped him.
"It looks good on you Impy." The young Palmon said, as she looked Impmon again.
"Thanks," Impmon smiled, "I will never forget where I got this from. No matter where or who I am in the future, nothing will change this memory."
The two stared into the night sky once again and dreamed and discussed about their futures. Unfortunately, they were both unable to live them…
*****End of Flashback*****
"Oh, Impy…" Lillymon weakly said as she flew back and hit a large boulder.
"Cris, my best…friend. My only best friend I ever had…" Beelzebumon said as he flew back in the opposite direction.
The two battling digimon were knocked out for hours from the explosion. Lillymon had the same occurring dream of giving the red bandana to Impmon, then seeing a bright fire blaze the tribe she once belonged to. She felt the emotional pain every time she saw that dream, but she also dreamed of how Impmon was her best friend, and emotional pain went away and she smiled at the thought of Impmon. Beelzebumon, on the other hand was half awake. He started to think about what Chrysanthemum was talking about.
(Beelzebumon's P.O.V)
Chrysanthemum, my best friend…how could she be the only thing I remember before my two lousy tamers. I don't remember squat before the Real World, except her name, but everything else was fuzzy. Then I had that flashback as I was knocked back by the impact of my Double Impact and her Flower Cannon blast, that particular flashback…but why only that one? Was it because I said I would never forget her? Or is it because I still love her…dammit no! I must not give in. I need to delete her so this feeling will go away!
Beelzebumon slowly rose to his feet and walked over to the still unconscious Chrysanthemum and looked down at her. He pulled out his guns again and pointed down to the unconscious Lillymon.
'Why did I want to destroy the tribe in the first place? N…no I don't want to remember anything anymore! I need to get this over with.' The demon digimon aimed both of his guns low at the fallen Lillymon's head. He pulled the trigger, but only half way. He started to have second thoughts about his execution. 'Why can't I pull the trigger? I just can't tell myself to pull the trigger…' Then he heard Chrysanthemum talk during her unconsciousness.
"Impy…" Chrysanthemum mumbled softly, "I…I…"
Beelzebumon stared down at Chrysanthemum, eyes widen. He tried to not hear what she was about to say, but something inside of him kept telling him to stay at that location and hear what she has to say. 'She never told me what she had to say. She always had to do something every time she said she needed to tell me something important. And she never did tell me that important thing…'
"Love…" Chrysanthemum mumbled something again, "L…love you…"
Beelzebumon's red eyes, once full of hatred but changing slowly, widened again at the words of the fallen Lillymon. He suddenly had a change of heart. 'No, she couldn't have! I…I can never love anyone, as hard as I tried. Her and me were only best friends, nothing more than that. I c…cannot be someone's love, I just can't. She doesn't even deserve someone who destroyed her life, her tribe and family and friends. I'm not the "Impy" she loved; I'm this monster only given power to kill. This monster of hate and pain, Beelzebumon…' The Demon digimon looked down at Chrysanthemum again.
"I'm sorry Cris…" Beelzebumon took off his red bandana that was around his arm and threw it on the ground, "I'm not the one you used to know, Goodbye."
Beelzebumon packed his guns behind his back and started to walk away from the fallen Chrysanthemum. With thoughts of his forgotten past fresh in his mind, he started to walk away in deep thought. A few moments later, Chrysanthemum woke up from her unconsciousness and saw the bandana on the floor. She grabbed it and looked at it for a few short seconds, with tears streaming down her face.
"Impmon…Impy…" Chrysanthemum quietly whispered to herself as she saw him walk in the distance. 'He remembers now…but that doesn't exempt me from my mission…' Chrysanthemum thought, somewhat sadly. She pulled out the Flower Cannon again and aimed for Beelzebumon, "I'm sorry…"
~*~*~*~
A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm sorry if its sort of short, I have a writer's block right now, but this was an idea I knew I had to put in this story before I forgot it. I'm not really sure really how Impmon got his bandana/scarf thing around his neck, but that's how I think he obtained it (in my universe anyway ^_^). About Chrysanthemum, I could have ended the story with this, but I remember one golden rule of being an assassin (which I actually picked up from other stories) and that is don't let anything get in the way of completing a mission. Well, actually I don't know, but I believe it's a rule, sort of ^^;;. Also, if I ended it here, it would be too short wouldn't it? Anyway, enough of my rambling, if you want to ask me a question about this story or any story, e-mail me at dexstrosity2@hotmail.com as always. And again Please R&R!
