Tamer's History
By TJ and Rikumon
Chapter One
TJ
***1 ½ years ago***(from the current point in Takara's fic)
"Tensuno! Come on! I have to be at work by now!" a middle aged woman with light blond hair shouted up stairs of her house. 'That boy always makes me so late, what is it he's up to now anyway?' just as she thought this a loud crash came from upstairs 'I had to ask.' running up the stairs and turning to the closest door Ms Shonen knocked "What happend Tensuno, are you alright?"
"Ummm no.." came a young male voice from the opposite side of the door.
"Ok young man, what did you do?"
"Errr I don't think now's a good time mom, besides you need to be at work. Don't worry Im ok just....a little messed up ya know dirty room and all."
"*Sigh* Tensuno.."
"Mooom stop calling me that, just two letters is all Im asking for."
"Fine, TJ can I trust you to do you chores without getting into trouble?"
"If you'd let me take Karate.."
"Tensuno Jenyu Shonen!"
"Ack, full name! Ok, Ok! I wont fight anyone now hurry up its...8:06?....oppies Im reading the clock upside down. SHOT! MOM HURRY OR YOU'LL MISS YOUR TRAIN!"
"Alight but remember don't fight anyone for any reason, understand?"
"Yes mom, good luck at work if you MAKE IT!"
Without another word Ms, Shonen raced back down the stairs and out the door. Her son 'TJ' who was having a less lucky time in his room, was wondering how he could solve his most recent problem. The 16 year old silver haired blue eyed teen was oddly hanging upside down with one leg tied to the wall while several items where scattered around him many of which was an assortment of Digimon Cards. "Good going TJ old pal, how did Martial Artists do this?" he sighed, feeling a bit dizzy because of all the blood rushing to his head. 'Here goes!' he started to pull himself up, but then the rope that was tied to his leg suddenly broke causing TJ to fall flat on his face with a loud *THUD* "......owwww my nose......."
***Later that afternoon ***
'Dang, why is it American kids get two days off while we get stuck doing school nearly the whole week!' TJ wondered as he walked down the street, warring his light red shirt, sky blue pants, white shoes and his favorite white bandana which was around his dangling from his belt like a cloth chain. TJ, as usual, looked towards the sky watching a few clouds float by, he kept a rather focused look on one oddly looked like a fox. 'Heh, that reminds me of when that blob thing attacked. One of the Digimon was a fox type, she could fight that's for sure. She know some Martial Arts and was awesome fighting out there....'
"Well it's the weakling TP."
TJ stopped dead in his tracks 'Grrrr great its him! Remember no fighting TJ....'
"Yo, TP! What's wrong? Too scared to face me?" a mocking male voice taunted.
TJ started to walk again, but his hands were balled up into fists that shook slightly 'keep moving TJ! Don't listen to...' however his path was cut off by two larger teens '...damn!'
Coming into view was the one taunting TJ, he was what you would say well built and muscular especially compared to the lankly TJ. "What's wrong TP? Don't tell me you forgot your buddy Kirytou here did you?"
"Bug off."
"Awww..." he gave a pretend pout before he gave TJ a hard punch to the gut sending him to the floor gaging "Im hurt. Hahahaha! Come on guy's lets leave this Tensuno Punk!" he motioned to his two friends leaving TJ gasping for air on the side walk.
"Je..*gasp* jerk..*cough*" TJ heaved himself off the ground, wobbling somewhat the rest of the way to the Bakery to finish the last of his chores.
***Shortly after that ***
"Dumb jerk!...OW!" TJ complained as he felt the bruise on his stomach, "Grrrr! DAMN!" he shouted putting every ounce of strength he had into a punch right into the wall...to bad for him that just did worse for his health and mood "OWWW!" he shouted at himself now blowing on his knuckles and waving his hand in the air. "Damn! Why cant mom just let me have some karate or Taekwondo lessons!... dumb jerks, why is it they bug me? So what if I like Digimon, its not like its their fault for the whole thing with that blob. They even fought it for crying out loud!" TJ wasn't calming down one bit, and for him that was normal he had always had a bad temper. And all the other kids from school never helped out with his mood, the only friends he had were mostly adults and the kids from school ether picked on him and beat him up or just paid no attention to him. Sitting down in the living room couch, TJ opened up one of the most recent booster packs of the Digimon Card game giving them a look over. "Lets see.... an Agumon, hyper speed, BlackWarGreymon's iron shield good but common cards.. Oh now were on the right track! Hyper wings, Virus aliment awww another training grip! Come on there has to be something...new? Alright! A Renamon card!" TJ awed at his new card, he always thought that any Digimon that could fight like Ninjamon and Shurimon where some of the best and ever since the D-Reaper was defeated he had a strong belief in the Renamon types.
TJ's awe fest was interrupted by the Phone ringing, hitting the speaker button TJ answered "Hello, Shonen residence."
~Hello Tensuno.~
"Moomm!" TJ groaned.
~Sorry sweetie, listen I wont be home tonight so remember to set your alarm clock for school~
"Aww mom, tonight? Its Romen night.." TJ pouted
~TJ there's the instant cups in the cupboards you know~
"Ok....will you be home tomarrow night then?"
~Umm not to sure now dear. Please just don't do..well you know, for to long like last time ok?~
"Aww ok mom bye."
~Bye *click*~
***10:00pm that night***
TJ was at the park, half star gazing and half improving his deck 'Lets see if I keep the Digi-egg of Sincerity and Hawkmon I can find some one to trade me Shurimon then if I keep these Hyper wing and speeds cards with a few attack cards I'll have an A class Martial Artist Digi-line.. especially if I keep this Renamon card.' TJ once again went in an awe fest for his Renamon card 'These fox types remind me of those Kusine tall's mom told me when I was a kid... I wonder if there are any other Fox types like Renamon? Ya an ultra cool one I bet, more tough looking...and kick butt.......type of.......Digi.......mon.....' TJ's thoughts were drowned out by sounds that came from him as he fell asleep on the hill he star gazed on "Zzzzzzz. Zzzzz."
But elsewhere not too far from TJ's sleeping form, was another sound that seemed to be like a sound a bird would make if it could giggling with a slight mix of a small child's.
***11:30pm that night***
TJ was still snoozing away on the spot but his snooze feast was interrupted when he heard a small rumble "Zz.. Huh? *Yawn* What time is it?......11:31! DAMN!" he cursed himself, grabbing his deck he jumped up and raced straight towards his home right threw a fog that he had to cover his eye's because for some odd reason was way to bright to see clearly though "Huh? Fog, but the news said it would be clear all night. Aww baka head news rep..." again a low rumble accrued but TJ heard it this time around "ort..er's? What the heck was that?!"
"NINJA STAR!" a voice from above TJ shouted as throwing knifes rained down.
"AH!" TJ shouted jumping out of the line of fire "DAMN! WHO'S THERE!?" suddenly TJ saw who the culprit was and just went wide eyed "...am I dreaming? NINJAMON?!?"
Standing above TJ in a tree branch was a small round Digimon warring ninja garments and carrying a ninja sword on his back "So you know who I am human? Good then you now know who is your executioner, NINJA STAR!" he shouted throwing a barrage of Ninja stars at TJ who barley jumped out of the way.
"HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!?" TJ shouted racing from the tree he saw Ninjamon in.
"That should be easy to see, Im trying to destroy you." Ninjamon said phasing in front of TJ and delivering a roundhouse kick to his stomach sending him right into a tree.
"AHHWWW!" TJ heaved himself up cradling his stomach "..d..am...n...." TJ looked up in time to see Ninjamon readying his sword "...jus..t...my lu.ck...."
"Any last requests?" Ninjamon said in a mocking manner wielding his sword in front of him menacingly.
"Well.... ya its.. THIS!" TJ lunged forward throwing a punch at Ninjamon who phased out of thin air before TJ's fist connected "DAMN!..?!......" TJ suddenly wished he didn't knew where Ninjamon was because right now his sword was poking him in the back 'Oh great this is how Im going to die?! Not even given a fighting chance!'
"Time to say good bye human..." Ninjamon brought his sword over his head and was about to swing it when suddenly..
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
"Hmm? Who said that?!" Ninjamon said looking around keeping his sword pointed at TJ.
"What's wrong little Ninjamon? Can't tell where I am?"
"GRRRR YOU DARE MOCK ME?!"
"Yes."
"GRRRRR NINJA STAR!" Ninjamon shouted again throwing a barrage of Throwing stars around trying to hit the voice's owner.
"You missed."
"GRRRR SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!"
"Me a coward? I don't go around attacking those who cant fight like you."
TJ decided it was a good time to react, without a second thought he raced for cover by a nearby bush thanking Kami that Ninjamon was to distracted to notice he left 'Who ever that way must be good at hiding, Ninjamon is a ninja for crying out loud and he cant sense where he is....DAMN THIS GUY IS GOOD! THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!'
Meanwhile Ninjamon was less ecstatic about this, he felt no presence besides his own and the human. 'Grrr who can hide from me? My skills as a warrior are second to non in the Digital World. The only one who could do this would have to be... no it cant! He couldn't!'
TJ's heart was beating faster then a car's engine, he was looking franticly to and thou for the one who helped him but saw nothing. 'What are you doing TJ? If he can do that disappearing thing that Ninjamon did how do you expect to see him? Not to mention that looking for someone who a Ninja cant find would be...' TJ's thoughts were interrupted, just as soon as he began to calm down he..felt something, he looked up to a single tree branch not to far from Ninjamon 'Ok this is weird..'
"NO MORE PLAYING AROUND!" Ninjamon shouted as he clenched his fist "IF YOU WONT SHOW YOURSELF I'LL HIT EVERYTHING IN THE DIGITAL FIELD! NINJA STAR!" Ninjamon shouted spinning himself into a small twister sending millions of Ninja stars flying in all directions...including TJ's hiding place.
"AHH!" TJ shouted covering his face with his arms preparing for the worst. But nothing hit him. Slowly removing his arms from his face and saw that Ninjamon had ceased his assault but found the most amazing thing, ALL of the Ninja stars that were thrown in his direction were just laying on the ground in front of himself as if they just stopped. "......whoa....."
Ninjamon's eyes where now popping out of his face as he looked about and saw the same thing TJ saw, "How... did.....grrrRRRRR! FINE THEN! HUMAN! RAAA!" Ninjamon in seconds placed barley a foot of distance between the two and unsheathe his sword "DIE!"
"crud!" TJ squeaked.
"CRYSTAL TYPHOON!" out of nowhere a small twister of crystals rammed Ninjamon squire in the jaw sending Data type to a far off tree.
"Grrr WHO.....Are.....you....." Ninjamon said slowly as his eyes widened in shock as he looked at who was the one that just attacked him....in fear "the....the.....THE SHADOW!?!"
TJ thought he was about to flip because standing before him was a Digimon that resembled Renamon but instead of the vibrant yellow fur coat was now a deep shade of black, instead of the purple gloves the Digimon ware a pair of jeans torn just above his ankles and a chasse belt across his chest with a symbol on the buck that TJ recognized from Seraphimon's card it was the symbol of the Vaccine types. TJ couldn't help but think 'Wow...this Digimon is.....amazing!'
The Kusine like Digimon stood between the weaker human and the Champion level Digimon with his arms crossed in front of his chest "So you've heard of me? Yes I am the Digimon they call 'The Shadow' I am Rikumon."
'His name's Rikumon? Whoa he's so cool!'
Ninjamon's face changed from fear to anger "YOU'LL PAY FOR HUMILIATING ME!"
Rikumon cocked his head "Really?" he answered in an annoyed tone.
Ninjamon gripped his sword tight in his hand and leapt high in the air as did Rikumon "NINJA SWORD!"
"LIGHTNING AURORA!" Rikumon shouted as his body became encased in a blue aurora just as the two battling Digimon were about to collied before both disappeared into thin air with a quick flash of light.
'Whoa! Where'd they go?' TJ wondered, but just then he saw both of them kneeling in a landing position with their backs towards each other, nether of them moved. "Who won?" TJ asked himself barley above a whisper.
A tense moment past, then finally Rikumon stood up side glancing the human "I did." he said just as Ninjamon bursted into Data, Rikumon back flipped into the center of it and began to absorb the Data of the fallen Digimon.
TJ rather nervously, walked up to the victorious Digimon "Err thanks... Rikumon."
Rikumon nodded then phased out of sight.
"Wait!" TJ said looking around.
"What?" Rikumon asked still phased out of sight.
"I..errr wanted to ask... ummm... could you 'teach' some of your moves to people or is it a Digivolving thing?"
"I could Teach someone I suppose, why?"
"Teach me! Errr please?"
For a moment Rikumon didn't answer, TJ was starting to worry if the fox type left, then "Tell me why you want to learn how to fight like me first then I'll think about it."
"Heh, easy I want to be strong enough to beat up a certain guy who's been picking on me."
"That's it?"
"Ummm Ya."
"Alright then...No."
TJ looked around "WHAT!?"
"You heard me, No."
"WHY NOT!?" TJ shouted starting to loss his anger again
"Because you wouldn't understand what to do with it afterwards, and what would that get me?"
"COME ON! AT LEAST SAY THIS TO ME FACE TO FACE!"
"Fine then." Rikumon phased back to view in front of the peeved human "Now I say it to you face to face.. No. For one thing you wouldn't do it right I bet."
"YES I WOULD!" TJ shouted
"Second your doing everything that would make you fail." Rikumon continued counting off his fingers.
"WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN!?"
"And third, your weak." Rikumon said getting nose to nose with TJ.
"WEAK THIS!" TJ shouted throwing a punch at the fox type who simply phased out of the way. "DAMN IT! STOP THAT AND HOLD STILL!" TJ shouted throwing punch after punch though thin air.
"That's what Im talking about." Rikumon said from wherever he was "Your weak and do things that would cause you to fail. No one would ever teach you how to fight with the way you act."
TJ was getting anger by the minute "SHUT UP! IM NOT WEAK!"
"Yes you are, I've fought my whole life kid and trust me if there ever was a weak class of beings its ones like you."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
"....How many friends do you have?"
"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!"
"Tell me."
"DAMN IT WHERE ARE YOU!"
"Kid, how many?"
TJ stopped throwing mindless punches but still clenched his fists "WHY DO YOU CARE! ALL I WANT IS FIGHTING LESSON!"
"Not many then huh?"
Rikumon was pushing the right buttons, TJ never thought about it because he hatted the answer his emotions were about to kick in and he knew that he wouldn't be able to stop himself from shedding a single tear if this kept up "Shut up! SHUT UP!" he shouted as he started to fall to his knees.
"Probably a few but non your age right?" Rikumon pushed further into the typic.
"Shut up!" TJ's eyes began to swell and water as he pounded the ground.
"The others your age make fun of you or ignore you. You probably don't even bother to try to make friends at all do you? I bet you wish you could phase out like I can to escape yourself and all the people who pay no attention to you."
"Shut up..shut up...shut *sub* up!" TJ lost control of himself and just started to weep right there on the ground inside the Digital Field with Rikumon some where. "Do you *sub* have any *sub* idea how hard it is? Ever since *sub* that blob thing came *sub* people hated your kind and *sub* I wouldn't so *sub* I was just an *sub* outcast."
"Then the kids your age made fun of you right? Then it got worse, you lost to your anger and tried to fight. Then the stronger ones beat you so now your even madder cause your not strong like them so you want to find a way to make them hurt. Am I right?"
TJ just kept his head low, it was enough that Rikumon made the pain come up but if he showed that he was crying at his age would have been worse, he really wished he could phase right then and there. Then he heard a slight swish sound behind him and felt someone's hand patting him on the shoulder gently. TJ looked up, reluctantly, and saw kneeling down next to him with his paw on his shoulder was Rikumon.
"When I said your weak, I meant your anger not your muscle. Fighting like me means more then strength of your body, but of yourself as well."
TJ didn't answer agin but quickly turned his head, he still didn't want Rikumon to see him crying.
"It also mean's your strong to admit things like what your doing." Rikumon moved over a bit so he was in front of TJ "You understand?"
TJ looked up into Rikumon's pear-like black eyes "...I guess......but how.."
"Kid, that nickname Ninjamon called me do you remember it?"
"Ya 'The Shadow'" he said quietly.
"I became a strong fighter because of my anger, but one day something happend because I lost my temper, I was almost deleted because of it and... well lets say it was something I don't want to see happen to others."
TJ shifted his position so now he had his head resting on his left knee while he wrapped his arms around his leg as he let this all sink in.
"What's your name?"
"...Tensuno Jenyu, but call me TJ ok?" he answered squirming a bit to get comfortable because the blow from Ninjamon and Kirytou had begone to act up on him.
"Alright, TJ." Rikumon changed his siting position to but he was on one knee and had his arms resting on his left leg. He noticed how TJ was moving "Ninjamon found a spot that was already tender I see."
"...ya."
"Same one who hurt you before?"
"Ya..."
"He hit you after you did something right?"
".......ya." TJ said after realizing if he just keep his temper in check he wouldn't be sporting Kirytou's brand bruise right now.
"See what a short temper gets you?"
"I...I can't.."
"Help it?"
TJ nodded covering his face again.
"From how upset you look I guess its been this way a while?"
"..ya."
Rikumon looked up though the trees to see the one thing he hated about being a Bio-emerged Digimon, the Digital Field's roof. "What's it like outside right now TJ?"
"..night."
"Good out there?"
"Clear."
"That's all?"
"...."
"Speak up, Im not like the others I wont make fun of you or beat you up because of how you act and all."
"Beautiful the stars are twinkling like little lights, the moon has that calm feel to it you know what I mean....probably not."
"I do."
For TJ that was a first, no one not even his mother understood what he meant when he expressed how things look with feelings unless they really looked for it themselfs. "You do?" he asked looking up and a little less miserable.
"Of course, Im a warrior and a fox and both alone can understand those things."
"Rikumon, why are you.."
"Talking to you like this? I understand how you feel, I want help. Guess this would make us friends now huh?" he answered with a small smile.
TJ could hardly believe what he just heard, he had friends but only ones who were older then him and now he was friends with who he thought was the most coolest Digimon he will ever see wether it's a card or for real "Really?"
"Do I look like Im lying?"
".....thanks" TJ said giving off a smile with a small tear running down his cheek.
"Well, come on get up." Rikumon barley moved but he was already on his feet.
"What?" TJ asked getting up and wiping his face.
"You want to learn to fight right? Well your first lesson is to learn how to throw a punch."
"I thought you said...wait I know how to punch."
"Not like that. Your looking for power but if you want to be better then use speed and cunning. Here watch me." Rikumon broke off a branch of one of the trees and stacked it to the ground "The trick to throwing a good punch is to stop just before your fist hits, like this..." Rikumon stood next to the branch, letting his arms hang low as he crossed them slightly and took a deep breath.
TJ watched carefully and then in the blink of an eye, Rikumon pulled his right arm back and gave a quick punch that broke the branch in two "Whoa!"
Rikumon chuckled, going back to one of the trees he broke off another branch and placed it in front of TJ "Your turn and remember 'stop your fist before it hits' ok?"
TJ nodded, not to sure if he could really do it he copied what Rikumon's pose and then *CRACK* TJ looked wide eyed at what he just did, he just broke the branch in two and his fist didn't hurt "I DID IT!"
"Impressive! I didn't think you could copy my pose my move and punch correctly at the same time first time around." Rikumon complemented.
"Whoa, Rikumon..thanks. Hey where are you going to stay anyway?"
"Here."
"Here? Why?"
Rikumon opened his arms wide "Unfortunately this Digital Field locks me here, Im stuck."
"What! But, there has to be something we could do to.." TJ was interrupted when suddenly he heard some kind of giggling noise and just as he began to look for the source of the sound, a blinding light filled the Digital Field. And when TJ and Rikumon could see again, the Field was gone and floating before TJ was a Black bodied Silver screened D-arc. "What....is this?"
"Well, looks like we have a good reason for being friends TJ."
"What?" TJ then looked around and noticed the field was gone "RIKUMON! THE FIELD!"
"Hmhmhm TJ a Digimon with a Tamer can go anywhere." Chuckled Rikumon.
"A Digimon with a...Tamer? ME?!" TJ asked pointing to himself.
"I don't see anyone else here? Besides that D-arc's screen matches your hair."
TJ reached for the D-arc, and grasped it firmly in his hand "Me a Tamer, to an ultra cool Digimon...whoa."
"Well TJ lead the way home." Rikumon motioned.
"Ok...Riku-san." TJ smiled as he watched his partner phase out of sight 'Maybe my lucks changing for the better.'
***********
Some time afterwards, TJ almost never lost his temper especially after Kirytou tried to give him another gut branding but was meet with a Kusine Flip. TJ started getting into the habit of talking more to people, thank Kami though that no one noticed an invisible force giving him a nudge every now and then. An on some occasions a boy who looked a lot like TJ but Black hear instead of silver would be seen hanging out in food courts as the two discussed fighting moves with names no one heard before something they call 'Kusine Style'. But people did notice besides TJ's temper control was his change from light colored cloths to dark blue and black and weirder was that when fogs were around he start warring visors and raced into the fog talking into his oddly shaped watch.

Tamer's History
By TJ and Rikumon
Chapter One
TJ
***1 ½ years ago***(from the current point in Takara's fic)
"Tensuno! Come on! I have to be at work by now!" a middle aged woman with light blond hair shouted up stairs of her house. 'That boy always makes me so late, what is it he's up to now anyway?' just as she thought this a loud crash came from upstairs 'I had to ask.' running up the stairs and turning to the closest door Ms Shonen knocked "What happend Tensuno, are you alright?"
"Ummm no.." came a young male voice from the opposite side of the door.
"Ok young man, what did you do?"
"Errr I don't think now's a good time mom, besides you need to be at work. Don't worry Im ok just....a little messed up ya know dirty room and all."
"*Sigh* Tensuno.."
"Mooom stop calling me that, just two letters is all Im asking for."
"Fine, TJ can I trust you to do you chores without getting into trouble?"
"If you'd let me take Karate.."
"Tensuno Jenyu Shonen!"
"Ack, full name! Ok, Ok! I wont fight anyone now hurry up its...8:06?....oppies Im reading the clock upside down. SHOT! MOM HURRY OR YOU'LL MISS YOUR TRAIN!"
"Alight but remember don't fight anyone for any reason, understand?"
"Yes mom, good luck at work if you MAKE IT!"
Without another word Ms, Shonen raced back down the stairs and out the door. Her son 'TJ' who was having a less lucky time in his room, was wondering how he could solve his most recent problem. The 16 year old silver haired blue eyed teen was oddly hanging upside down with one leg tied to the wall while several items where scattered around him many of which was an assortment of Digimon Cards. "Good going TJ old pal, how did Martial Artists do this?" he sighed, feeling a bit dizzy because of all the blood rushing to his head. 'Here goes!' he started to pull himself up, but then the rope that was tied to his leg suddenly broke causing TJ to fall flat on his face with a loud *THUD* "......owwww my nose......."
***Later that afternoon ***
'Dang, why is it American kids get two days off while we get stuck doing school nearly the whole week!' TJ wondered as he walked down the street, warring his light red shirt, sky blue pants, white shoes and his favorite white bandana which was around his dangling from his belt like a cloth chain. TJ, as usual, looked towards the sky watching a few clouds float by, he kept a rather focused look on one oddly looked like a fox. 'Heh, that reminds me of when that blob thing attacked. One of the Digimon was a fox type, she could fight that's for sure. She know some Martial Arts and was awesome fighting out there....'
"Well it's the weakling TP."
TJ stopped dead in his tracks 'Grrrr great its him! Remember no fighting TJ....'
"Yo, TP! What's wrong? Too scared to face me?" a mocking male voice taunted.
TJ started to walk again, but his hands were balled up into fists that shook slightly 'keep moving TJ! Don't listen to...' however his path was cut off by two larger teens '...damn!'
Coming into view was the one taunting TJ, he was what you would say well built and muscular especially compared to the lankly TJ. "What's wrong TP? Don't tell me you forgot your buddy Kirytou here did you?"
"Bug off."
"Awww..." he gave a pretend pout before he gave TJ a hard punch to the gut sending him to the floor gaging "Im hurt. Hahahaha! Come on guy's lets leave this Tensuno Punk!" he motioned to his two friends leaving TJ gasping for air on the side walk.
"Je..*gasp* jerk..*cough*" TJ heaved himself off the ground, wobbling somewhat the rest of the way to the Bakery to finish the last of his chores.
***Shortly after that ***
"Dumb jerk!...OW!" TJ complained as he felt the bruise on his stomach, "Grrrr! DAMN!" he shouted putting every ounce of strength he had into a punch right into the wall...to bad for him that just did worse for his health and mood "OWWW!" he shouted at himself now blowing on his knuckles and waving his hand in the air. "Damn! Why cant mom just let me have some karate or Taekwondo lessons!... dumb jerks, why is it they bug me? So what if I like Digimon, its not like its their fault for the whole thing with that blob. They even fought it for crying out loud!" TJ wasn't calming down one bit, and for him that was normal he had always had a bad temper. And all the other kids from school never helped out with his mood, the only friends he had were mostly adults and the kids from school ether picked on him and beat him up or just paid no attention to him. Sitting down in the living room couch, TJ opened up one of the most recent booster packs of the Digimon Card game giving them a look over. "Lets see.... an Agumon, hyper speed, BlackWarGreymon's iron shield good but common cards.. Oh now were on the right track! Hyper wings, Virus aliment awww another training grip! Come on there has to be something...new? Alright! A Renamon card!" TJ awed at his new card, he always thought that any Digimon that could fight like Ninjamon and Shurimon where some of the best and ever since the D-Reaper was defeated he had a strong belief in the Renamon types.
TJ's awe fest was interrupted by the Phone ringing, hitting the speaker button TJ answered "Hello, Shonen residence."
~Hello Tensuno.~
"Moomm!" TJ groaned.
~Sorry sweetie, listen I wont be home tonight so remember to set your alarm clock for school~
"Aww mom, tonight? Its Romen night.." TJ pouted
~TJ there's the instant cups in the cupboards you know~
"Ok....will you be home tomarrow night then?"
~Umm not to sure now dear. Please just don't do..well you know, for to long like last time ok?~
"Aww ok mom bye."
~Bye *click*~
***10:00pm that night***
TJ was at the park, half star gazing and half improving his deck 'Lets see if I keep the Digi-egg of Sincerity and Hawkmon I can find some one to trade me Shurimon then if I keep these Hyper wing and speeds cards with a few attack cards I'll have an A class Martial Artist Digi-line.. especially if I keep this Renamon card.' TJ once again went in an awe fest for his Renamon card 'These fox types remind me of those Kusine tall's mom told me when I was a kid... I wonder if there are any other Fox types like Renamon? Ya an ultra cool one I bet, more tough looking...and kick butt.......type of.......Digi.......mon.....' TJ's thoughts were drowned out by sounds that came from him as he fell asleep on the hill he star gazed on "Zzzzzzz. Zzzzz."
But elsewhere not too far from TJ's sleeping form, was another sound that seemed to be like a sound a bird would make if it could giggling with a slight mix of a small child's.
***11:30pm that night***
TJ was still snoozing away on the spot but his snooze feast was interrupted when he heard a small rumble "Zz.. Huh? *Yawn* What time is it?......11:31! DAMN!" he cursed himself, grabbing his deck he jumped up and raced straight towards his home right threw a fog that he had to cover his eye's because for some odd reason was way to bright to see clearly though "Huh? Fog, but the news said it would be clear all night. Aww baka head news rep..." again a low rumble accrued but TJ heard it this time around "ort..er's? What the heck was that?!"
"NINJA STAR!" a voice from above TJ shouted as throwing knifes rained down.
"AH!" TJ shouted jumping out of the line of fire "DAMN! WHO'S THERE!?" suddenly TJ saw who the culprit was and just went wide eyed "...am I dreaming? NINJAMON?!?"
Standing above TJ in a tree branch was a small round Digimon warring ninja garments and carrying a ninja sword on his back "So you know who I am human? Good then you now know who is your executioner, NINJA STAR!" he shouted throwing a barrage of Ninja stars at TJ who barley jumped out of the way.
"HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!?" TJ shouted racing from the tree he saw Ninjamon in.
"That should be easy to see, Im trying to destroy you." Ninjamon said phasing in front of TJ and delivering a roundhouse kick to his stomach sending him right into a tree.
"AHHWWW!" TJ heaved himself up cradling his stomach "..d..am...n...." TJ looked up in time to see Ninjamon readying his sword "...jus..t...my lu.ck...."
"Any last requests?" Ninjamon said in a mocking manner wielding his sword in front of him menacingly.
"Well.... ya its.. THIS!" TJ lunged forward throwing a punch at Ninjamon who phased out of thin air before TJ's fist connected "DAMN!..?!......" TJ suddenly wished he didn't knew where Ninjamon was because right now his sword was poking him in the back 'Oh great this is how Im going to die?! Not even given a fighting chance!'
"Time to say good bye human..." Ninjamon brought his sword over his head and was about to swing it when suddenly..
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
"Hmm? Who said that?!" Ninjamon said looking around keeping his sword pointed at TJ.
"What's wrong little Ninjamon? Can't tell where I am?"
"GRRRR YOU DARE MOCK ME?!"
"Yes."
"GRRRRR NINJA STAR!" Ninjamon shouted again throwing a barrage of Throwing stars around trying to hit the voice's owner.
"You missed."
"GRRRR SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!"
"Me a coward? I don't go around attacking those who cant fight like you."
TJ decided it was a good time to react, without a second thought he raced for cover by a nearby bush thanking Kami that Ninjamon was to distracted to notice he left 'Who ever that way must be good at hiding, Ninjamon is a ninja for crying out loud and he cant sense where he is....DAMN THIS GUY IS GOOD! THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!'
Meanwhile Ninjamon was less ecstatic about this, he felt no presence besides his own and the human. 'Grrr who can hide from me? My skills as a warrior are second to non in the Digital World. The only one who could do this would have to be... no it cant! He couldn't!'
TJ's heart was beating faster then a car's engine, he was looking franticly to and thou for the one who helped him but saw nothing. 'What are you doing TJ? If he can do that disappearing thing that Ninjamon did how do you expect to see him? Not to mention that looking for someone who a Ninja cant find would be...' TJ's thoughts were interrupted, just as soon as he began to calm down he..felt something, he looked up to a single tree branch not to far from Ninjamon 'Ok this is weird..'
"NO MORE PLAYING AROUND!" Ninjamon shouted as he clenched his fist "IF YOU WONT SHOW YOURSELF I'LL HIT EVERYTHING IN THE DIGITAL FIELD! NINJA STAR!" Ninjamon shouted spinning himself into a small twister sending millions of Ninja stars flying in all directions...including TJ's hiding place.
"AHH!" TJ shouted covering his face with his arms preparing for the worst. But nothing hit him. Slowly removing his arms from his face and saw that Ninjamon had ceased his assault but found the most amazing thing, ALL of the Ninja stars that were thrown in his direction were just laying on the ground in front of himself as if they just stopped. "......whoa....."
Ninjamon's eyes where now popping out of his face as he looked about and saw the same thing TJ saw, "How... did.....grrrRRRRR! FINE THEN! HUMAN! RAAA!" Ninjamon in seconds placed barley a foot of distance between the two and unsheathe his sword "DIE!"
"crud!" TJ squeaked.
"CRYSTAL TYPHOON!" out of nowhere a small twister of crystals rammed Ninjamon squire in the jaw sending Data type to a far off tree.
"Grrr WHO.....Are.....you....." Ninjamon said slowly as his eyes widened in shock as he looked at who was the one that just attacked him....in fear "the....the.....THE SHADOW!?!"
TJ thought he was about to flip because standing before him was a Digimon that resembled Renamon but instead of the vibrant yellow fur coat was now a deep shade of black, instead of the purple gloves the Digimon ware a pair of jeans torn just above his ankles and a chasse belt across his chest with a symbol on the buck that TJ recognized from Seraphimon's card it was the symbol of the Vaccine types. TJ couldn't help but think 'Wow...this Digimon is.....amazing!'
The Kusine like Digimon stood between the weaker human and the Champion level Digimon with his arms crossed in front of his chest "So you've heard of me? Yes I am the Digimon they call 'The Shadow' I am Rikumon."
'His name's Rikumon? Whoa he's so cool!'
Ninjamon's face changed from fear to anger "YOU'LL PAY FOR HUMILIATING ME!"
Rikumon cocked his head "Really?" he answered in an annoyed tone.
Ninjamon gripped his sword tight in his hand and leapt high in the air as did Rikumon "NINJA SWORD!"
"LIGHTNING AURORA!" Rikumon shouted as his body became encased in a blue aurora just as the two battling Digimon were about to collied before both disappeared into thin air with a quick flash of light.
'Whoa! Where'd they go?' TJ wondered, but just then he saw both of them kneeling in a landing position with their backs towards each other, nether of them moved. "Who won?" TJ asked himself barley above a whisper.
A tense moment past, then finally Rikumon stood up side glancing the human "I did." he said just as Ninjamon bursted into Data, Rikumon back flipped into the center of it and began to absorb the Data of the fallen Digimon.
TJ rather nervously, walked up to the victorious Digimon "Err thanks... Rikumon."
Rikumon nodded then phased out of sight.
"Wait!" TJ said looking around.
"What?" Rikumon asked still phased out of sight.
"I..errr wanted to ask... ummm... could you 'teach' some of your moves to people or is it a Digivolving thing?"
"I could Teach someone I suppose, why?"
"Teach me! Errr please?"
For a moment Rikumon didn't answer, TJ was starting to worry if the fox type left, then "Tell me why you want to learn how to fight like me first then I'll think about it."
"Heh, easy I want to be strong enough to beat up a certain guy who's been picking on me."
"That's it?"
"Ummm Ya."
"Alright then...No."
TJ looked around "WHAT!?"
"You heard me, No."
"WHY NOT!?" TJ shouted starting to loss his anger again
"Because you wouldn't understand what to do with it afterwards, and what would that get me?"
"COME ON! AT LEAST SAY THIS TO ME FACE TO FACE!"
"Fine then." Rikumon phased back to view in front of the peeved human "Now I say it to you face to face.. No. For one thing you wouldn't do it right I bet."
"YES I WOULD!" TJ shouted
"Second your doing everything that would make you fail." Rikumon continued counting off his fingers.
"WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN!?"
"And third, your weak." Rikumon said getting nose to nose with TJ.
"WEAK THIS!" TJ shouted throwing a punch at the fox type who simply phased out of the way. "DAMN IT! STOP THAT AND HOLD STILL!" TJ shouted throwing punch after punch though thin air.
"That's what Im talking about." Rikumon said from wherever he was "Your weak and do things that would cause you to fail. No one would ever teach you how to fight with the way you act."
TJ was getting anger by the minute "SHUT UP! IM NOT WEAK!"
"Yes you are, I've fought my whole life kid and trust me if there ever was a weak class of beings its ones like you."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
"....How many friends do you have?"
"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!"
"Tell me."
"DAMN IT WHERE ARE YOU!"
"Kid, how many?"
TJ stopped throwing mindless punches but still clenched his fists "WHY DO YOU CARE! ALL I WANT IS FIGHTING LESSON!"
"Not many then huh?"
Rikumon was pushing the right buttons, TJ never thought about it because he hatted the answer his emotions were about to kick in and he knew that he wouldn't be able to stop himself from shedding a single tear if this kept up "Shut up! SHUT UP!" he shouted as he started to fall to his knees.
"Probably a few but non your age right?" Rikumon pushed further into the typic.
"Shut up!" TJ's eyes began to swell and water as he pounded the ground.
"The others your age make fun of you or ignore you. You probably don't even bother to try to make friends at all do you? I bet you wish you could phase out like I can to escape yourself and all the people who pay no attention to you."
"Shut up..shut up...shut *sub* up!" TJ lost control of himself and just started to weep right there on the ground inside the Digital Field with Rikumon some where. "Do you *sub* have any *sub* idea how hard it is? Ever since *sub* that blob thing came *sub* people hated your kind and *sub* I wouldn't so *sub* I was just an *sub* outcast."
"Then the kids your age made fun of you right? Then it got worse, you lost to your anger and tried to fight. Then the stronger ones beat you so now your even madder cause your not strong like them so you want to find a way to make them hurt. Am I right?"
TJ just kept his head low, it was enough that Rikumon made the pain come up but if he showed that he was crying at his age would have been worse, he really wished he could phase right then and there. Then he heard a slight swish sound behind him and felt someone's hand patting him on the shoulder gently. TJ looked up, reluctantly, and saw kneeling down next to him with his paw on his shoulder was Rikumon.
"When I said your weak, I meant your anger not your muscle. Fighting like me means more then strength of your body, but of yourself as well."
TJ didn't answer agin but quickly turned his head, he still didn't want Rikumon to see him crying.
"It also mean's your strong to admit things like what your doing." Rikumon moved over a bit so he was in front of TJ "You understand?"
TJ looked up into Rikumon's pear-like black eyes "...I guess......but how.."
"Kid, that nickname Ninjamon called me do you remember it?"
"Ya 'The Shadow'" he said quietly.
"I became a strong fighter because of my anger, but one day something happend because I lost my temper, I was almost deleted because of it and... well lets say it was something I don't want to see happen to others."
TJ shifted his position so now he had his head resting on his left knee while he wrapped his arms around his leg as he let this all sink in.
"What's your name?"
"...Tensuno Jenyu, but call me TJ ok?" he answered squirming a bit to get comfortable because the blow from Ninjamon and Kirytou had begone to act up on him.
"Alright, TJ." Rikumon changed his siting position to but he was on one knee and had his arms resting on his left leg. He noticed how TJ was moving "Ninjamon found a spot that was already tender I see."
"...ya."
"Same one who hurt you before?"
"Ya..."
"He hit you after you did something right?"
".......ya." TJ said after realizing if he just keep his temper in check he wouldn't be sporting Kirytou's brand bruise right now.
"See what a short temper gets you?"
"I...I can't.."
"Help it?"
TJ nodded covering his face again.
"From how upset you look I guess its been this way a while?"
"..ya."
Rikumon looked up though the trees to see the one thing he hated about being a Bio-emerged Digimon, the Digital Field's roof. "What's it like outside right now TJ?"
"..night."
"Good out there?"
"Clear."
"That's all?"
"...."
"Speak up, Im not like the others I wont make fun of you or beat you up because of how you act and all."
"Beautiful the stars are twinkling like little lights, the moon has that calm feel to it you know what I mean....probably not."
"I do."
For TJ that was a first, no one not even his mother understood what he meant when he expressed how things look with feelings unless they really looked for it themselfs. "You do?" he asked looking up and a little less miserable.
"Of course, Im a warrior and a fox and both alone can understand those things."
"Rikumon, why are you.."
"Talking to you like this? I understand how you feel, I want help. Guess this would make us friends now huh?" he answered with a small smile.
TJ could hardly believe what he just heard, he had friends but only ones who were older then him and now he was friends with who he thought was the most coolest Digimon he will ever see wether it's a card or for real "Really?"
"Do I look like Im lying?"
".....thanks" TJ said giving off a smile with a small tear running down his cheek.
"Well, come on get up." Rikumon barley moved but he was already on his feet.
"What?" TJ asked getting up and wiping his face.
"You want to learn to fight right? Well your first lesson is to learn how to throw a punch."
"I thought you said...wait I know how to punch."
"Not like that. Your looking for power but if you want to be better then use speed and cunning. Here watch me." Rikumon broke off a branch of one of the trees and stacked it to the ground "The trick to throwing a good punch is to stop just before your fist hits, like this..." Rikumon stood next to the branch, letting his arms hang low as he crossed them slightly and took a deep breath.
TJ watched carefully and then in the blink of an eye, Rikumon pulled his right arm back and gave a quick punch that broke the branch in two "Whoa!"
Rikumon chuckled, going back to one of the trees he broke off another branch and placed it in front of TJ "Your turn and remember 'stop your fist before it hits' ok?"
TJ nodded, not to sure if he could really do it he copied what Rikumon's pose and then *CRACK* TJ looked wide eyed at what he just did, he just broke the branch in two and his fist didn't hurt "I DID IT!"
"Impressive! I didn't think you could copy my pose my move and punch correctly at the same time first time around." Rikumon complemented.
"Whoa, Rikumon..thanks. Hey where are you going to stay anyway?"
"Here."
"Here? Why?"
Rikumon opened his arms wide "Unfortunately this Digital Field locks me here, Im stuck."
"What! But, there has to be something we could do to.." TJ was interrupted when suddenly he heard some kind of giggling noise and just as he began to look for the source of the sound, a blinding light filled the Digital Field. And when TJ and Rikumon could see again, the Field was gone and floating before TJ was a Black bodied Silver screened D-arc. "What....is this?"
"Well, looks like we have a good reason for being friends TJ."
"What?" TJ then looked around and noticed the field was gone "RIKUMON! THE FIELD!"
"Hmhmhm TJ a Digimon with a Tamer can go anywhere." Chuckled Rikumon.
"A Digimon with a...Tamer? ME?!" TJ asked pointing to himself.
"I don't see anyone else here? Besides that D-arc's screen matches your hair."
TJ reached for the D-arc, and grasped it firmly in his hand "Me a Tamer, to an ultra cool Digimon...whoa."
"Well TJ lead the way home." Rikumon motioned.
"Ok...Riku-san." TJ smiled as he watched his partner phase out of sight 'Maybe my lucks changing for the better.'
***********
Some time afterwards, TJ almost never lost his temper especially after Kirytou tried to give him another gut branding but was meet with a Kusine Flip. TJ started getting into the habit of talking more to people, thank Kami though that no one noticed an invisible force giving him a nudge every now and then. An on some occasions a boy who looked a lot like TJ but Black hear instead of silver would be seen hanging out in food courts as the two discussed fighting moves with names no one heard before something they call 'Kusine Style'. But people did notice besides TJ's temper control was his change from light colored cloths to dark blue and black and weirder was that when fogs were around he start warring visors and raced into the fog talking into his oddly shaped watch.
