Fate Isn't A River Daisukeby: Yamato Magna
Chapter Three: Query ?
Chibimon really didn't have a say in the matter. He only wanted to make Daisuke happy so he went along with him. He knew it wasn't exactly the right thing to do. Sometimes he wished that he was smarter like Tentomon or Hawkmon, or knew what to say like Patamon and Gatomon. But, then again, none of them were as cute like him. He let out a small chuckle. From inside Daisuke's knapsack where he was hidden he could see that Daisuke wasn't taking the train like he usually did after school. He usually took the train to Tamachi or some other place.
His partner had changed a lot but Chibimon didn't think he noticed it. First he was all melancholy inside and cherry outside. Then he was super happy inside but now he's just cold. It was happening again. He really should say something. Daisuke was doing something Chibimon didn't agree with. He didn't want Chibimon to meet them. Why couldn't they do it out in the open like they usually do. Daisuke said that he had to stay home and not to tell anyone where he went or with who.
"Daisuke?… Where are you going?" He had asked.
His partner turned around and looked at him "The digital world."
Chibimon leaped up and down. "Oh boy the digital world. We get to knock down some spires. When are we going?" Chibimon paused and took a good look at Daisuke. He sure was dressed funny. He was in the smooth, soft stuff again. "Where are the others Daisuke?" Chibimon asked "And why are you dressed like that?"
Davis stopped what he was doing, which happened to be lacing up his feet apparel and turned to face the blue ball of fluff which had come into his life not so recently. "We aren't going anywhere Chibimon."
"But you said digi-world. You can't go alone there lot's of evil digimon and the KAIZER'S SALVES." He paused and then started again. "You can't go alone Daisuke, where are the others, answer me ."
"The others aren't coming. He only wants me, it'll be just the two of us no slaves, spires or emperors."
This was another one of those times. Chibimon really didn't have a say in the matter. Daisuke stopped abruptly and sat down on a park bench. He put his hand in his knapsack and took out the annoying D-Terminal. He flipped it open and read the message "You have 5 new messages." He switched the screen to show the two digimentals. Growling he removed the batteries from the side panel and smirked as the colored screen faded into darkness.
" Daisuke why did you do that?" Chibimon nearly yelled at him. "What if those messages were important."
Daisuke turned to face the in-training digimon on his right. Fortunately the park was practically abandoned at this time of day. "It was nothing . The batteries needed to be changed anyway." He replied.
Chibimon merely nodded Daisuke when you're ready I'll be here to listen. That's what partners are for after all.
Daisuke returned hours later and it was a good thing too, Chibimon was getting real tired of acting so stiff in case one of Daisuke's parents wandered into the room to see if their son was home. Fortunately that never happened. With the usual flash of white light, Daisuke was standing there almost as if he had never left. Chibimon jumped up and down, "Daisuke, Daisuke, you're home. I missed you!" The blue dragon jumped into his arms.
"I missed you too buddy, anything happen while I was gone?"
Chibimon shook his head. "No it's absolutely boring with out you. I wanna come next time." Daisuke frowned at this and turned away hoping he would change the subject. "That stuff, leather where did you get it." Daisuke didn't react at all. " Who did you meet Daisuke?" Chibimon was becoming worried. Why wouldn't his partner answer him. What was wrong, did he say something bad "Daisuke…"
Daisuke picked his digimon up and placed him back in the knapsack. "So Daisuke where are we going."
Daisuke stopped "Uhmm." Chibimon couldn't believe he didn't know where we we're going. "Home." He said at last.
"Oh good I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry." Daisuke chirped.
Chibimon was happy he got a normal reply out of him. "Hee Hee. I want some Twix." Daisuke stopped at a corner store to pick up his partners favorite snack. He gave it to him but asked him to stay in the school bag. This was fine with him. Chibimon munched happily on the chocolate caramel cookie treat.
Finally they reached the bend where Daisuke could see his apartment building. Chibimon who was done by now peeked out of the backpack. "Daisuke…" Chibimon questioned, "How come you're parents are never home?" Daisuke stopped walking abruptly. Chibimon had thought that he had asked another one of those questions that Daisuke wasn't going to answer but to his surprise he answered.
"They don't care about me."
Chibimon was confused at this, "I don't understand. I thought that everyone's mother and father was the same." That was the way it had seemed to him.
"It's simple. They believe that they have better things to do with their time than spend it on me or Jun."
"But that's not right, it's not fair." Daisuke continued to walk towards his building. At least he had answered this time.
"Daisuke… why won't you answer me?" Chibimon squealed.
Daisuke turned around to face his Digimon. "There are something's that even I can't explain but I just do them anyway." Daisuke stated.
"What? Everything happens for a reason, fate doesn't just come swoop us up."
Daisuke replied "Why do Digimon Digivolve?"
"To protect others, why else? That's why I digivolve."
"What if there were no humans. Then why?" Chibimon stared at his partner dumbfounded.
He didn't want to upset him, he just wanted to talk to him and understand. Iori had said that the best way to find something out was by asking questions. Or something like that, he wasn't to sure. But he was sure that he needed an explanation for Daisuke's recent behavior. Meanwhile Daisuke had climbed the steps to his floor and was about to enter when Chibimon caught him off guard.
"Do you hate Jun?"
Now it was Daisuke's turn to be dumbfounded. "Whaa?"
"Do you hate your sister?" Chibimon stared at his partner. He wasn't gonna let him get away this time.
"What makes you say that Chibimon?"
He stared at him with innocent eyes. "Well you say that you're parents hate you and you treat you're sister the same way that you're parents treat you."
This little query literally blew Daisuke away. "Umm well." He then began then more firmly, "I don't hate my sister I love Jun, It's just… that's the way we are. I suppose it's our way of communicating."
"You mean like how Yamato and Taichi wrestle and then try to see who can suck the most air out of the other?" Chibimon grinned innocently. The things one could see when they were the size of mini-basketball.
"Well ahh sort of… but different."
Daisuke was glad that they were home and wouldn't have to answer or say much more. "Were here Chibimon." Daisuke turned his key in the lock and walked in. Unknowingly being watched by the brown eyed red haired girl in the window.
"Daisuke it's just our way of communicating." She turned and went into her bed room preparing for the inevitable storm.
