Chapter 7: Discoveries
Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat I do not own digimon as proven by the fact that the show hasn't yet become a full blown soap opera. I am just borrowing the characters. However Katt, Enny, Arashi, Takara, and Yorokobi all DO belong to me. If your curious Katt I made up but Enchende is a town in another country, and arashi is Jap. for storm, takara for treasure, and yorokobi for joy. I don't own those words either.
Summary: The group makes some interesting discoveries about each other and their new guest.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
"Your saying that *you* can digivolve!" Izzy couldn't believe what he was hearing. "How is this possible? Your not digital information you can't be bent and reformed."
Arashi was trying to not laugh at how excited Izzy was behaving. "No, I'm not digital and my body isn't bent or deformed either. It's like one minute I'm standing there and the next minute I have armor all over my body and I have a silver staff and I have an attack. It's an awesome feeling."
Tai couldn't be quiet any more. "You have an attack? What is it? Are you like a rookie right now? Can you evolve multiple times like from champion to mega? Do you have more than one attack?"
"Tai, stop a minute and give the poor girl a chance to answer." Katt smacked him in the arm.
"Ow, hey. What was that for?" Everyone laughed at Tai's enthusiasm and his reaction to being punched. "Hey what's so funny?"
TK got up. "I'm gonna go get some more fire wood. Be back soon." He started to leave and Patamon followed.
"Hey, TK, I'll go too." Kari and Gatomon got up and followed. As they left the clearing two pairs of eyes, namely
Izzy's and Yolei's, were closely watching them.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
"It's been ten minutes." Yolei said in her usual obsessive manor as she whispered to Izzy.
Izzy leaned over to Yolei and answered simply. "You took an hour last time" Yolei blushed bright red and Izzy grinned while raising an eyebrow.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
TK and Kari had wondered around making light conversation for a little while until they came to the stream they'd been following for the last two weeks. TK sat down to rest and get a drink of water. What do you think of Arashi?" Kari asked finally.
"She's ok. Why?"
"I just noticed she has Matt's eyes and wondered if you saw it too."
"Yeah and she has Sora's red hair. But the rest of her isn't even close."
"That's the other generations."
"I guess."
"So are you and Yolei a couple?"
TK almost fell over. "What are you talking about?"
"Well you kissed her."
"How'd you..."
"We're best friends. She tells me everything."
"Oh." He blushed a little.
"TK, relax. I'm your friend. You can talk to me." Kari tried to convince him of her sweetness.
"Yeah, right. If I recall I can talk to you about as well as you can talk to Tai." He looked at her mischievously. He was never going to let her live that down.
"Hey, he didn't mean anything." She still remembered the incident maybe a little too well. She had told Tai about something her boyfriend at the time had done and he had tried to beat up the poor kid.
"Yeah I know. Do you remember that one time when me and you went out and Tai followed us?"
"Ugh, Yes. It was so funny when you 'accidentally' spilled your drink behind you and he got covered in soda."
"It was a dark theater. I was lucky to see *your* nose when I was this close." TK said leaning kind of close to her. He could feel her breath quicken on his lips.
That's when she realized how close they were. "Uhh, yeah I know." She backed of a little.
"You were a good girlfriend, too bad it didn't work." He knew she still liked him. Really he was being very mean by pulling strings like this. Using his knowledge against her for his own amusement. He didn't know why, but seeing her with Izzy just really bothered him. Just then Gatomon and Patamon came through the bushes each with some firewood.
"Hey, what are you guys do..." Gatomon stopped mid-sentence. "Uh, we're going back to camp." With that Gatomon left bodily dragging Patamon with her.
Kari turned bright red, as did TK. Then she started to laugh. "Do you believe her? She thought..." Kari then noticed TK wasn't laughing but watching her. She watched him also for a moment but looked away for fear of getting lost in his eyes. "You're jealous aren't you?" She said after she turned her head. Really she didn't have to ask, she knew the answer. She knew it hurt him to see her with Izzy and she knew he had no interest in Yolei except to make her jealous. So what if it was working? It was mean of him and out right wrong. "Look TK if you like Yolei go for it. But if not..." She paused. "If not then that's not just mean it's cruel. Yolei has trouble meeting boys and it's not her fault she's so blunt. It's mean of you to lead her on. I know you are, too, so don't try to make excuses." With that she got up and started to walk away.
TK watched her walk off. God he loved her. 'What am I doing?' he asked himself mentally. 'Messing up, that's what.' a little voice inside him echoed. He knew it was right.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
Yolei stood there watching, she couldn't believe what she had just seen. Izzy put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and she made no move to brush it off. After they had been gone for about twenty minutes she had looked back at Izzy and they had decided to go and "help out". Really they had wanted to check up on the two. Now Yolei stood there on the verge of crying. Not because of what Kari had said about her. That she knew and wasn't mad about at all. Yolei knew she could be a little overwhelming at times and had a tendency to scare off guys. What had hurt her so badly was that TK could lead her on just to get at Kari. Why her? What made him choose her? Did he really think her that gullible?
That's when she started to cry. 'Oh no. If I cry TK will hear me. I can't go back to camp, they'll want to know why I am crying.' She ran off into the woods not knowing which way she was going or where she would end up and really not caring.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
It's not that Izzy didn't trust Kari, but instead, as hard as it was to believe, he didn't trust TK. That's right, sweet little TK was now a fifteen-year-old boy that Izzy just couldn't trust anymore. Not with Kari anyway.
He saw Yolei run into the woods, not in the direction of camp, but in a different direction. They hadn't brought there DigiMon and Izzy was worried that because she was vulnerable right now she may not pay as close of attention as she may need to, to stay out of trouble, so he caught up and went with her.
When she finally stopped they were a good ways away from camp, fortunately, Izzy could still just make out the light of the campfire from this distance through the trees.
Yolei finally stopped and fell down onto her knees. That is when Izzy noticed she was still crying. He went up to her and put an arm around her shoulders and began to run his hand up and down her arm in a comforting motion.
After a while she started to calm down and he looked at her and asked "Do you want to go back to camp now? It's getting late, they may be wondering where we are." She only nodded. She got up and dusted her pants off. After wiping her eyes and rubbing her face she began to look around. "That way." Izzy pointed in the direction of camp, where a small glow could still be seen through the trees. With that they began to walk quietly back to camp.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
When Kari got back to camp the little bit of firewood she had gotten was needed, for the fire was beginning to get small. She placed it on kindles and began to poke it around in an attempt to get the fire going again. Enny and Mimi had both looked a little sick today and she didn't want them to get worse.
She began to look around. Cody was sitting up looking around. Gatomon and Patamon were on the far side of the clearing curled up asleep in a large blob of fur that was contained them and about 4 other digimon. They were next to Katt and Tai who were keeping watch and chatting. She smiled at the thought that Katt may be finally opening up to the group a little. She had been really quiet mostly at first and hadn't talked to mostly anyone but the other first generations and sometimes Izzy, to see what he had to say about where to go next. 'Him and his map.' She thought to herself, 'Hey were is he anyway?'
She walked over to Cody who was supposedly watching the group but it was obvious he was daydreaming. "Cody where did Izzy go?" Cody moved quickly. Startled he had been caught zoned out.
"He and Yolei went to go help you and TK about twenty minutes after you left." He answered looking at her curiously.
"Cody that was almost an hour ago." Just then Izzy and Yolei entered the clearing and Yolei's face was tear streaked. It was obvious what had happened and now she was mad. Did he not trust her? What about Yolei, was she spying?
Once they stepped out of the woods Izzy walked towards Kari and Yolei went to talk to Cody, he was her best friend other than Kari. "Izzy where did you go?" She asked calmly trying not to jump to conclusions.
"I went to get firewood." He stated plainly.
"Then why aren't you carrying any?" She said, rather suspiciously hands on hips. TK who had just stepped into the clearing watched in amusement trying to hide a grin.
"Well I couldn't find any." Izzy was still trying to keep his cool.
"Izzy, we are in the middle of the woods, and you can't find firewood. Don't even bother trying another excuse. I already know exactly what happened. You didn't trust me and you decided to spy on me and not to mention that you dragged Yolei into it and look what happened." Now she was yelling and some of the group had woken up. All of the digimon had.
"Yolei went because she wanted to go and if TK had any morals what so ever this mess wouldn't have started." He was yelling, too.
"So you were spying on us you admit it. Do you not trust me?"
"I trust you, I just don't trust him. Next thing you know you'll be blaming Yolei that TK was using her." Matt was now fully awake but trying hard not to bring himself into this fight. He knew it was probably true. He glared hard at TK who just shrugged innocently and then happily began to watch the fight. That's when Matt put in the last piece of the puzzle. TK had set up this fight.
"I don't believe you. Why would I do that? I don't blame you, or her, or even TK for that. I blame myself." The last part was quiet. She stopped and for a moment everyone was quiet. Then she continued still quiet. "Izzy if you can't find it in yourself to trust me enough to let me spend any time away from your watchful eye then maybe I had better free myself from that eye. This relationship is ending right now." With that she turned and walked over to TK, who was grinning quite pleased with himself, and slapped him hard across the face. He winced. TK put a hand to his face even though it didn't hurt. He didn't want her to know that the hurt in his eyes was because it was her that had slapped him. She then turned to everyone who was now starring at them and said, "What are you looking at? The scene is over!" Anger lined her voice and everyone was not willing to go there, so they just turned away and went back to sleep.
*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*
Yes, sweet innocent little TK would do that. Keep reading if you wanna better understand why.
