WHY ARE THERE NO MORE REVIEWS?????????



Chapter 4 – Pain that won't go away…



BLAM!!!!! The bullet missed by a couple inches.

"I forgot the sight was crooked…"



The Tamers heard the loud shot being fired as Guilmon returned.

"MICHAEL!!!!!!!"

Sandra was the first to rush to find Michael. The others quickly followed. Sandra found him running the other way. BLAM!!!!! A second shot was fired. Again, the shot veered a little off to the right. This time, it hit living tissue. Sandra fell to her knees, and collapsed. Michael stopped running, and went to her side. Just as he feared, the bullet hit his mother, killing her quickly.

"Oh-no. I hit a woman by mistake!"

The three men were horrified when the one hit the woman by mistake. The feeling stopped them long enough to watch what they thought was a monster walk over to the dead lady's side, get on it's knees, and begin to cry. They saw that he was human, but had some features that weren't…

"Mommy? MOMMY? WAKE UP!!!! PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!!!"

The men felt sickened by their act. They went over to see if the woman was okay. The others arrived as the men got over to Michael.

"WHAT DID YOU DO??????????" Takato shouted at them.

"We… We thought he was a monster," One said while pointing toward Michael, "We were afraid, and George went to get the rifle out of his car. He shot at him, and missed. He fired again, and the shot hit her by accident. We didn't know he wasn't a monster until he turned around. We didn't mean to…"

Takato went over to his wife's side. She was dead, and there was nothing anyone could do to change that. Michael continued to cry, as the police arrived. Someone had called when they heard gunfire. Michael was led a little ways away from Sandra's corpse as the police walked toward the scene. The police began questioning everyone. The Digimon had thought ahead, and hid.

"What happened here?" An officer asked the men.

The men repeated what they told Takato. The police began to think they were drunk, but when they went to question Takato and Michael, they easily saw how that mistake could be made.

"Is what they said true?"

"I… You shouldn't ask me. I just got here…" Takato said as tears poured from his eyes.

"Then would you know?" The officer asked Michael.

Michael tried his best to stop crying long enough to answer his questions.

"I…I was playing over there…" Michael told him as he pointed at the wooden beam, " When a loud sound scared me. I began to run, and I ran past my mommy. Then I heard the sound again, and then mommy… mommy… WAAAHHH!!!!!"

Michael began to cry again. The police arrested the three men, and left. Michael continued to cry…



A couple years have past since that day in the park. The Digimon have decided to stay in the real world to help their Tamers and their families out during these times, and to help take care of the kids. Michael had eventually got over that day, and was about to go to school for the first time. He had been home-schooled up until now, but in order for Takato to support Michael, Guilmon present or not, Michael needed to go to public school. Michael's voice had finally changed, but it just sounded like Guilmon still, except now it easily could pass as a normal voice. [Take the babyish part out of Guilmon's voice, and then you'll understand.] Michael wasn't fond of going to school, but he knew that he had to…



"Class, I'd like one of you to introduce a new student."

"This ought to be interesting." Tony said.

The other three children, although slightly varying ages, were all in the third grade.

"Since Tony knows him, why not let him introduce him."

Tony was a bit surprised when Mr. Conley asked him to introduce the new student. The only time a student was asked to introduce a new student was if they knew them…

'Wait a second…'

When Tony was given the sheet with the name, he turned pale.

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!"

Tony looked out the door.

"TELL ME THIS IS A BIZARRE JOKE!!!!!"

"Tony, what has gotten into you? If you won't introduce him because you're afraid it'll ruin your reputation, I'll ask Nicole to introduce him instead."

Nicole and Alex paled. The only person who it could be that both Tony and Nicole knew was…

"It's not my reputation I'm worried about, it's his feelings."

That was new to the class. There were few people Tony was a friend with.

"PLEASE LET THIS BE A SICK JOKE!!!"

"TONY!!! Please calm down and introduce him."

"You haven't seen him yet, have you?"

"Well… No."

"Well I'm doing him a favor."

"TONY!!! If the teacher asks you to introduce a student, you must introduce the student." Nicole told him.

"Fine… Class, I'd like to introduce… (Gulps)… Mi…Michael Matsuki…(whispers) please let this go well…"

Michael walks in. Immediately, almost all the students gasp.

"Hi."

"MONSTER!"

Michael felt miserable after that comment. That's what those men called him… a monster…





How will the school kids treat Michael?
