Five Children, One Dream, One Destiny...
Chapter Fourteen: Travels
Aku leaned down. The three children and two digimon had finally got done scratching Whamon's itch. Aku growled to himself. Tari sat down next to him.
"What's the matter?" he asked. Aku turned sideways.
"Aku, what's the matter?" Tari asked again.
"Go away" Aku growled. Tari sighed and got up.
"Okay. I'll be over there with Kiro" she said and went over to the other boy. Aku sat up and watched her sit down next to him. Kiro said something making Tari laugh out loud. Aku rolled his eyes. Then both of them just stared into the sun setting behind File, the island they had left half an hour ago. Whamon was travelling and had said they'd hit Folder the next morning.
Aku watched Rokoomon run past him and nearly fall into the water though being saved by Cromon who she then hugged and spun around in a circle. In truth he was worried about OniNekomon, even though he didn't really know her. She barely talked and never seemed to be there. She was – invisible.
Aku looked back at Tari and Kiro who were again laughing. Kiro looked back and smirked at Aku before turning back and saying something to Tari again. She laughed again.
"Pft." Aku lay back down and watched the stars appear. When he heard Tari laughing again he jumped and walked along Whamon's back to a point where he could see neither the happy two children, nor the crazy digimon.
After a while Tari's head popped up over him. "Why'd you run away?" she asked smiling.
"Because" Aku replied. Tari sat down and placed her hand onto Aku's he turned to her.
"Aku" she said softly. "I – I like you but – you're kind of distant" she mumbled and then looked away blushing. Aku was speechless. A girl – liked him? He felt disgusted. Girls, they were all just incompetent and didn't know what to do. Their world consisted of mushy movies and love.
"So?" he said sounding heartless. Tari sighed.
"I guess you really don't like me" she mumbled. 'Duh!' Aku thought.
"I won't bother you anymore then" she said sadly and got up. "Well, um, see you then." Tari then turned and left sniffing.
"What's the matter, Tari?" Aku heard Kiro's voice. Aku huffed. Who cared. He didn't but something in his chest hurt. It made him think what he had said to Tari wasn't the right thing. He sighed deeply and closed his eyes. "Tomorrow" he mumbled. "Everything can be done then."
Ai coughed up the water and grinned. She liked the sea water for some reason, but Alan didn't seem to enjoy it too much.
"Okay?" she asked and grinned down at him. He was lying face up in the sand. He glared at her.
"No! I've just swallowed an ocean" he growled. Ai grinned and sat down next to him.
"I personally liked that."
"Fun, fun, fun!" yelled a smaller version of Seimon longish fur with white stripes and long thin ears. He ran around in circles. Reilmon, who hadn't de-digivolved, watched him, her wet fur hanging down.
Alan sat up and spat out some more water.
"I don't understand you" he mumbled.
"I'm not meant to be understood" Ai said and silently began humming.
"What's that?" Alan asked after listening for a while.
"It's a song my father taught me when I was young and he wasn't drunk" Ai said smiling. Alan smiled back.
"You have a nice smile. You should smile more often."
"I don't tend to. It's stupid" Ai said. Alan smiled again.
"I don't usually have much to smile about."
"Alan." The two teenagers looked over to Reilmon who had called her partners name. She had stood up so the other two instinctively did the same. Reilmon pointed towards the sky.
"They're coming after us." Ai gulped. "Let's go inland" she suggested and grabbed the small dog. Alan nodded and walked off his shoes squelching while he walked. Ai laughed and ran after him.
Reilmon watched the two of them wondering what had been so funny. She looked over to the two black dots in the sky and then followed her partner.
"Nearly there, mistress" Avamon said.
"Sock it" Ame growled. Avamon grinned and then dived. Chi grabbed Ame around her waist and clung to her. She made no attempt to shoo him away, as she two wasn't fond of the idea Avamon had come up with.
DeviWolfmon and Toshio watched them.
"Don't even try" Toshio hissed and DeviWolfmon rolled his eyes. He lower his height slowly and followed the other wolf digimon down to the island.
Kerry yawned.
"Shouldn't we leave? The others are all gone" he said and bit of a piece of a pink and baby blue fruit. The blue-haired girl shrugged.
"Wanna leave, Cashmon?" she asked. The silver fox shrugged too and looked over to his baby blue companion who nodded vigorously. The blonde girl stood up.
"I think we should. They might find him – her – whoever before we get the chance to, you know, tell them or something?"
"Kelli, we're not going to tell anyone" Kerry said. "Right, Ree?" The blue-haired girl stood up and helped Kerry up.
"I doubt it. I guess we'll just see what happens. But going over is a good idea."
Cashmon and the baby blue fox glowed in a light each and changed into Mihiramon and Anubimon. Kerry climbed onto his digimon's back while Anubimon picked up the two girls.
"Let's go" Ree said grinning.
*sighs* there, ya go. I'm gonna be away for da week end so... yeah...
