PROTECTOR OF INNOCENCE (THE SECRET)
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon or in this case, the digidestineds.
Yes, some thing is going to go wrong in this chapter (nothing big yet, I still have some character to introduce) and I assure you that it is going to be longer than the previous chapter. I have also changed the style I write in for easy reading.
So let's get to the story.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
'Sora.' Kari called, 'Please hurry up! Supper is in 10 minutes!'
'Yeah, I'm done.' Sora said as she got out of her bath tub and dressed what she usually wear to supper.
'Sora, you better get going or those friends of yours will start knocking on the door.' Kari said. Just as she finished her sentence, someone knocked on the door.
'Sam! Are you there? Supper time!' Matt continued to knock and attempted to come in. Luckily, Sora has remembered to lock her door.
'Yes, I'm in here. Give me a few more seconds.' Sora shouted back as she checked herself in the mirror to see if everything is in place.
'Sam! What on earth are you doing in there that is so secretive?' Tai was also outside the door waiting for 'Sam'.
'Coming, coming!' Sora quickly closed her bathroom's door and joined her friends out side who are getting very impatient.
As they seated into their usual chair in the hall waiting for supper, Mako and Yako walked towards them and stopped right in front of Sora.
'We figured out your little secret.' Mako chanted happily.
Sora froze, "They can't possibily already knew she is a girl." Sora thought and she panicked. Her mind raced through trying to find a way to stop them from saying anything before they spill her secret but in time like this, the only thing to do is to stay silent because if she is to say anything, Sora knew her voice would fail her.
'What secret?' Matt noticed Sora's horrified face and decided to help her out. 'If you have nothing better to do Mako. I suggest you go and do your homework. Your math has never really improved since the beginning of the year.'
'Tsk tsk, so you never told your 'friends' your secret either.' Yako shook his head. 'We know why you never take bath in the common washroom.'
'Why?' This got Tai, Izzy, Joe and Matt curious too. To them it has always being a mystery why 'Sam' wouldn't go swimming with them on Sundays.
'It is so easy.' Mako smirked and continued. 'Hasn't it been so obvious to any of you that Sam is afraid of water.'
'Ah ah ah ah...' Yako laughed, pointing at Sora as if it is something hilarious. 'Afraid of water! Ha!'
'Afraid of water?' Izzy was surprised, and so are everyone else.
'Why didn't you say so?' Joe asked compassionately. 'It is no big secret.'
Sora was relieved, Yako and Mako the two 'geniuses' was not bright enough to figure out her secret yet. She's still 'safe', for the moment. And since most of them is believed what Mako said, she might as well play along with it.
After the meal, Master Spencer made an interesting announcement. 'Tomorrow, the first years would be starting swordsmanship, horseriding and archery. Since I believe all of you should already have a lot of practice with horseriding and archery, we are not going to make a big fuss of the two things and put more energy and attention into swordsmanship.
'Horseriding, archery...' Sora blinked. Yes, she has rode horses when she was young. But archery, she has never picked up a bow before. 'I don't think I am feeling very well.'
'Not feeling too well? You look fine to me.' Joe studied Sora and concluded.
'Yeah, well, I am not fine!' This is the first time in Sora's whole life that she has been this agitated.
Izzy starred at her with disbelief, 'Wow, calm down. Isn't it a good thing that a person is alive, healthy and content?'
Time isn't hard to pass, in no time, it was time with Master Spencer for archery and horseriding. Sora now regretted that she has spent too much time climbing trees and bathing herself in mud when she was younger. "If I know this was coming, I'd spent sometime learning how to hold a bow and etc."
'Choose your horses, everyone! And no rushing, there is plenty for everyone!' Master Spencer rose his voice above everyone else's excitement. But as soon as this order was given, the new pages rushed to find them a better horse. Mako and Yako "accidently" decided to walk in front of Sora very very slowly and blocking her way "accidently" everytime Sora tried to overpass them.
Soon, there wasn't any good horse left, the only one that are left is the new pawn that are too young to even stand up.
'I am sorry Sam. I made sure there were enough horses for everyone but somehow, there were one less.' Master Spencer's apologetic voice startled Sora. 'Something must went wrong, I made sure there were enough horses and the new horses aren't going to arrive until the next season. There must be something I can think of...'
Sora knew Master Spencer would never make a mistake as such but she so wanted her own horse now. Sora began to imagine what the horse would look like. "A white horse sure would look magnificent. No, maybe a chestnut...those are more common. A glorious black horse, mmm...it would definitly be good."
Sora thoughts were interrupted by a sudden tag. Sora turned around and saw Matt pointing towards an object that were galloping fast towards her. Sora rubbed her eyes and she knew she wasn't dreaming, it was a black horse and it is coming towards her in the speed of the wind and it looked exactly like the way she imagined it to be.
'Hmm...well, seems like our problem has just been solved.' Master Spencer said cheerfully. 'We can get on with our work now.'
Sora on the other hand could not believe her luck, she probably got one of the best looking horse in the stable. But she could not also help to feel tension that someone is starring at her with burning eyes. She decided to turned around, no one was there, but she felt it and no matter what it is, Sora senses trouble.
'Sam, we are here to train to ride a horse not standing there and starring!' Master Spencer called out and rushed Sora to join the others.
The black horse was very obedient and smart leaving Sora with absolutely no trouble at all for controlling it. At the end of the practice, Sora felt that it was one of the best thing that she had to learn. She just loved the way the wind rush pass her as she rode on the back of the horse.
'These horses are just as stupid as mules who knows nothing, does nothing and wastes all my energy.' Mako made a complain that every could hear.
'Don't insult the horses, it is you that is as stupid as mules who knows nothing, does nothing and complains incredibly.' Matt said cooly and arouse Mako and Yako's anger.
But before Mako and Yako had a chance to revenge on what Matt has just said, Mako's horse gave Mako a kick that is strong enough to break his back bone.
'Ha!' Everyone laughed. 'I think that the horses agrees with Matt's theory.' Izzy added.
