Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil
Chapter 6
'How entertaining... They think they have me all figured out. Too bad for them, it's I who have them figured out!
'Hmm, well, I do believe its a little early for me to show them my face and I would so much like to teach that little Leomon Taming brat a lesson... but, the time draws near. Soon, I won't even be able to send my bats into their world... I must go, NOW!'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
'I don't get it... why didn't they tell me?' Takato asked himself as he sat on his bed, pondering over the morning's events.
"Takato, would you like some tea?" asked Mrs. Matsuki opening the door. She went over to her son's side and was amazed at how he was able to reach out and know where her hand was.
"You seem to be doing very well, Takato." said his mother as she watched him drink his tea.
"Mm-hmm." mumbled Takato, "Thanks for the tea, mom."
"You're welcome, Sweety." whispered his mother as she reached up to brush away some of his hair from his face, "If you need anything, just call."
"I will." assured Takato and he listened to the soft sound of her footsteps as they faded away down the stairs. Takato sighed and went back into thought, '... hmm, they never did this before, they always tell me everything... is it... because I'm blind? Are they really that afraid for me? Is it really that horrible?...or... are they just... treating me differently...?'
"Um, Takato?" asked a soft voice from his door.
"Hi, Jeri." said Takato.
"Are... are you feeling alright today?" asked Jeri walking in.
"I guess so, besides the fact I'm in the dark, figureativly and litteraly speaking."
"What do you mean?"
"I... never mind what I say, Jeri." sighed Takato turning over on his back, "It wouldn't make much sense to someone who can see."
"Something's wrong with you, Takato. Are you sure you don't wanna tell me?" asked Jeri.
"Why should I? You wouldn't understand."
"What do you mean 'I wouldn't understand?' " demanded Jeri.
"I'm a little upset now, Jeri!" snapped Takato, "That's all! I feel like you're all treating me differently now because I'm blind!" Takato's voice softened as tears began to file down his cheeks, "You're all supposed to be my friends but... you won't tell me anything!"
"We're not telling you because we don't want you to get hurt!"
"... you don't want me to get hurt?" said Takato sitting up and staring at her with his pale, lifeless eyes, "Jeri, I'm blind. What does it matter if I get hurt? It would probley even be better if I wasn't here to get in your way...."
"Takato, don't say that..."
"Why shouldn't I? You know it's true! Everyone knows it is true! You should all be treating me like I'm Takato but instead, you treat me as if I'm a baby and can't comprehend anything you say! You should be treating me like a friend, Jeri, but you're not... none of you are...."
"Oh, Takato!" cried Jeri running out of his room and even though Takato couldn't see the tears in her eyes he could hear her soft sobbing. He heard his mother yell after Jeri, asking her what was the matter but Jeri ran straight out of the bakery, slamming the door behind her. Takato didn't hold back now. He cried and cried and cried-not the same silent tears a few minutes before-loud, weeping crys of anguish, anger and sorrow. He had never felt so rotten in his life.
'She's too sweet to be yelled at like that!' thought Takato, 'I'm... so... horrible!' He didn't know how long he was crying but that last thing that he remembered before he fell asleep, was Jeri...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"What is wrong, Jeri?" asked Leomon looking down at his crying Tamer. They were sitting in the park on a bench(Leomon was really sitting next to it because if he would have sat on it, he would probley have broken it).
"Nothing's wrong with me Leomon, it's just... Takato!" Jeri burst out into more tears.
"Is something wrong with him?"
"No... yes, but at the same time, no." said Jeri.
"What do you mean?" asked Leomon.
"I... I just need some time alone to clear my head." sniffed Jeri wiping away her tears.
"Are you sure that's wise?"
"I'll be fine, Leomon. It's still a few hours before dark and Guilmon will be here if I need any help." Leomon looked at Jeri for a few minutes then stood up to leave.
"If that is what you wish... I'll go home now. Just make sure you don't stay out too long." Leomon walked off leaving Jeri alone with just her tears. Jeri sat there crying for about an hour, thinking of what Takato had said.
'He's right... I haven't been treating him like a friend! I've been so terrible to him!' thought Jeri but the noise of leaves rusling above her made her jump and look up. There, on one of the branches sat a single black bat. It was just sitting there, watching her.
"Le-leomon..." whispered Jeri, trying to find her voice. Then, the bat raised up its head a let out a screech and just as if that had been some secret signal, millions of bats began to empty out of the trees.
"LEOMON! GUILMON!" yelled Jeri taking off into the park. The bats followed her but instead of covering her and taking off with her, they just clawed and bit her, as if taunting her. Then, to her surprise, Leomon jumped out of the bushes with his sword held high in the air.
"I'll teach you to attack my Tamer!" growled Leomon slicing away at the bats.
"Leomon, you're here!" gasped Jeri in surprise and relife.
"I was lonely at home and was getting worried so I came back." explained Leomon warding off the bats from Jeri.
"Oh, Leomon...." whispered Jeri, 'Sometime, I can't even imagin going though life without you...'
"Ahhh!" snarled Leomon as a bat bit him hard on the arm.
"You can't do this by yourself! There's too many of them! We need help!" gasped Jeri looking around, "GUILMON!!!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Guilmon lifted up his head from the tunnel he had been digging and listened intently.
"Did someone say my name?" Guilmon asked aloud.
"Guilmon...." came a voice that sounded distant but clear.
"That sounds like Jeri. I need to help." said Guilmon jumping up and running out of his house. He ran through bushes and past trees until he finally saw the clearing where Leomon was fighting off the bats from Jeri. Leomon looked tired and it didn't look like he could keep it up much longer.
"Oh, no! Leomon can't do it on his own and with just little me we still can't possibley do it. I need help! I need... TAKATOMON!" yelled Guilmon.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Takato gasped as he sat up straight in his bed. He had had such a horrible dream.... The bats were after Jeri and Leomon couldn't hold them off and Guilmon... Takato gasped, 'Guilmon needs my help!'
Takato struggled to get out of his bed but since he was so distressed and couldn't see, he fell out of it and hit the floor with a thud.
"Takato, are you alright?" asked his mother rushing into the room.
"I'm fine but I need to get to the phone!" said Takato urgently as he got to his feet. She helped guide him to the phone and placed his fingers on the keys so he could dial the number. Takato quickly dialed Rika's phone number and listened to the dial tone a few times before the voice of an old woman answered.
"Hi, is Rika there? I need to talk to her and its important."
"But Rika won't be able to answer you." said Rika's Grandmother.
"It's alright. Just tell her its Takato and she'll know what to do."
"Rika! Your friend, Takato, wants to speak to you." yelled her Grandmother. Rika picked up the phone and motioned for her Grandmother to leave(she used sign language to tell her it was private) and then Renamon appeared and took the phone from her.
"Yes, Takato. What is it?" asked Renamon.
"Its Jeri! Something's wrong, I know it is. You need to send Rika to the park while you go get Henry, your the fastest out of all of us. I'm going to the park right now." explained Takato.
"But Takato, its dangerous! You can't see!" yelled Renamon, "Taka-" But Takato threw down the reciever and ran out of the house before his mother or father could even protest.
Takato ran down the street, bumping into people and signs and causing traffic jams as he crossed the street without waiting for the traffic lights to change. It was strange... it was almost as if he was being guided by Guilmon's thoughts and emotions.
'Oh, please Guilmon, let Jeri be alright!' Takato begged as he made it to the park. He ran into a few trees and had to run through bushes but he finally made it next to Guilmon.
"Takato, you're here!" gasped Guilmon in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm here." said Takato patting Guilmon's head, "We need to help, Guilmon. I'm... I'm going to try-no! I am going to help you!"
"I'm ready!" growled Guilmon as his eyes changed from the sweet innocent, loving eyes to the vicious, lustful, power-hungry eyes.
'I'm just going to have to believe... Just like when we were fighting Vikaralamon...' thought Takato taking out his card, 'I wish... I could keep Jeri safe!' Takato felt a strange rush of power race through him as his card changed from the ordinary Digimon Card to the Matrix Digivolution Card.
"Digi-Modify!" yelled Takato as he slashed his card, "Matrix Digivolution Activate!"
"Guilmon Matrix Digivolve to... WARGROWLMON!" growled the 50 foot Digimon as he jumped into the clearing and began to slice away at the bats with his two giant blades.
"WarGrowlmon?" asked Jeri looking around. She saw Takato standing there, looking towards her with his vacant eyes, but there was something else there that she didn't quite recognize about him....
"What's going on?" asked Renamon as she jumped into the clearing.
"Just taking care of a little pest problem." snickered WarGrowlmon as he destroyed the last bat.
"Great! When we finally get here, the action's already over." sighed Terriermon.
'He could have a least save me and Renamon a bat or two!' thought Rika with a sniff.
"Did I do good, Takato?" asked WarGrowlmon.
"Yeah... you did." said Takato facing his Digimon. Jeri walked over to him and threw her arms around him, crying.
"Are... you okay, Jeri?" asked Terriermon.
"I'm sorry, Takato. I shouldn't have been treating you like I did before." cried Jeri.
"Its not your fault, Jeri. I shouldn't've yelled at you." whispered Takato slowly tightening his arms around hers.
"...I'm guessing I missed something." said Henry as he watched in confusion. Rika, Renamon and Terriermon all nodded.
"I think we all missed something." said Terriermon.
Suddenly, Rika gasped and pointed behind WarGrowlmon.
"WarGrowlmon, look out!" yelled Renamon but it was too late! The bats covered WarGrowlmon's body and then next thing he knew, he was on the ground and back to his Guilmon stage!
"Wh-what happened?" gasped Takato kneeling down to his Digimon and feeling around him, 'He's back... to the Guilmon stage?! How?' A hiddeously familiar cackle was the reply.
"Oh, no! It's him!" gasped Jeri.
"What is it?" asked Henry looking around, trying to see where the bats had come from.
'Its the same guy who changed us... that means its...' Rika thought looking up at the bats in horror as they began to swirl together faster and faster. The bats swirled into a blur and when they had finally stopped, there stood a human shaped being with pale blue skin, blue clothes, a black and red cape and extremely large fang teeth.
"It... it is him!" screamed Terriermon.
"I never thought it would come to this..." whispered Renamon.
'I know that voice... but it can't be!' thought Takato, "... its Myotismon!"
