Shadow-Assassin: *Sighs* I'm never going to find another job.

Terror Dreadmon: Well why don't you gamble for the money?

Shadow-Assassin: Oh, ya, and lose more then I have? I don't think so.

Terror Dreadmon: Then ask your friends and family.

Shadow-Assassin: Like they'd give me money. They'd think I was gonna use it for shopping for stupid stuff.

Terror Dreadmon: You are very difficult. I'm trying to help you here.

Shadow-Assassin: Sure you are.

Terror Dreadmon: *Narrows eyes* Terror Claw! *Slashes at Shadow*

Shadow-Assassin: AHH! Hey! That was a new designer dress!!!! *You can see a big slash down the front of her dress that seems to say, "Shadow-Assassin does not own Digimon"*

Terror Dreadmon: Oppsy! *Laughs and walks off*

Chapter 8: Evil At Their Backs

Ianumon

We walked along happily. Well... me and Jessamon that is. I could tell Kimamon wasn't very enthusiastic with the choice to bring Jessamon with us. I couldn't understand why not. She would be a great help, not to mention she was very pretty.

She beamed a smile at me and I felt like my legs where going to give way. I shook myself and kept going.

Kimamon rolled her eye and shook her head at us and walked ahead.

"She doesn't like me does she." Jessamon said sadly.

"Of course she does!" I lied, " She just doesn't know how to show it."

"Really?!" She smiled to me.

"Y... Ya." I smiled back.

"How are we going to fight these evil, nasty digimon any how?!" She asked.

"So far all where trying to get a team together. After that week look for their hide out." I replied.

"Sounds like a plan to me!" She smiled.

I could see Kimamon's head droop from her position ahead of us.

I smiled at myself. We where all very different and that could pose as either a problem or an advantage. I wasn't sure which it was right now, but I was sure I'd find out soon.

We walked along for another hour or two with Kimamon ahead of us. Me and Jessamon talked the whole way getting to know each other.

"DARKNESS BEAM!" Came a sudden voice from the woods on either side of us. Suddenly Kimamon Flew into a tree with a yelp and the woods around us became dark.

"Kimamon! Where are you!" I cried. I couldn't see two feet in front of me. I searched around for the enemy but was too blind to see whoever it was.

"Poor pathetic digimon. You won't even know what hit you." Came the harsh voice with a laugh.

Dark Ivanomon

I watched from a tree waiting for the right moment to attack. Kimamon was ahead of her two new companions. I didn't know who the other female was but that didn't matter. She would fall as easily as her comrades.

The moment came and I attacked, "DARKNESS BEAM!" I shouted as a wiped my tail around to send a dark beam towards my target. Kimamon went flying into a tree and my beam spread out surrounding everything in a thick dark fog. I laughed from my perch in the tree, "Poor pathetic digimon. You won't even know what hit you."

"Attack!" I yelled to my small army. They lept from the trees and went on the attack.

"Electric Stun Blast!" Some shouted as the sent an electric shock at the opponent.

"AHH!" Could be heard from the darkness. I could clearly see with my dark sight that the male digimon had been hit.

"Bright Beam!" The pink digimon yelled as she spit out a blast of bright pink energy at my army.

"Pitfall!" My army shouted as they charged at the rather pretty pink digimon. They scratched and tore at her.

"Blue Claw!" The blue male shouted slashing at my army.

I turned from the fight so see where Kimamon was. She was unconscious by the tree she'd hit. I jumped down and walked up to her. I looked her over then kicked her in the side to wake her. She let out a yelp and opened her eyes quickly. She looked up at me and I smirked.

"Wha you... wan... you evil lil..." She gasped.

"I want to see you suffer. You and you little friends. Then I want to see you die," I whispered to her before walking off, "Finnish the job!" I yelled to my army.

"Yesir!" They shouted in unison.

There was no use in me staying. The outcome was clear. Though I would have loved to see the end of those little peasants, I had more important thing to do. Like take over the digital world.

I smiled at myself as I headed the direction that would take me back to the cave.

This had been easier then taking candy from a baby.

Ianumon

As we fought I got to see what we where attacking. They where Gazimon. Simple little rabbits. I slashed and bite my way through them to get to Jessamon and we watched each others backs as we battled.

"Blue Beam!" I shouted as a spit out my blue attack at a nearby Gazimon.

"Pitfall!" A Gazimon shouted at he jumped at me.

I jumped away and he landed face first on the ground.

"Bright Beam!" Jessamon shouted as she spit out her attack. The Gazimon all jumped out of the way and the beam disappeared without making so much as a dent in the battle.

"Blue Claw!" I yelled as I slashed a Gazimon that had lept on my back.

"Electric Stun Blast!" A few shouted in unison sending an electric shot at us. We jumped away quickly.

We where loosing this battle. There where still tons of Gazimon but only two of us. Where were outnumbered 5 to 1 at least. If we didn't come up with something soon we'd not only loose the fight, we'd also loose our lives.

"FLORAL SENT!" Jessamon shouted suddenly. I looked over to her and saw that she was giving off a pinkish fog that surrounded the Gazimon. The Gazimon got an odd look on their face like they where in a dream like state or in love. They stood there like this and I didn't understand what was going on.

"Lets finish them off well we've got the chance. Their in a kind of trance but I'm afraid it doesn't last long." Jessamon ordered.

"Ok! Lets finish this then! Blue Claw!" I shouted attacking the dazed digimon with my sharp nails.

"Bright Beam!" Jessamon shouted sending her attack as well through the line of stunned Gazimon.

The Gazimon suddenly woke up from their dreamy state and started to run this way and that in a panic. They seemed to be afraid of us and eventually they all ran away and we where left alone in the still dark forest.

Then I remembered that Kimamon had been hurt. I couldn't see where she was.

"Where's Kimamon?!" I asked as I frantically searched around.

"I don't know!" Jessamon yelped also searching.

I looked over to see her where she'd landed during the first attack. She looked pretty hurt. I ran up to her and nudged her. She was awake but in pain.

"Kima! Oh! What do we do?!" I yelped.

"Da... rk... Iv..." She said weakly.

"Shush. You just rest. You've been hurt pretty badly." I said.

"We can stay here the night. We'll need to gather some food because we ate the last of it. We'll also need some water." Jessamon said.

"Ok! I'll get the water and food. You watch Kima, ok?" I said.

"Good idea. Hurry with the water. We need to wash her wounds. I'll gather some leaves from close by. The ones here have healing properties and we can use them to wrap the wounds." Jessamon replied.

I walked off to get the food and water. I didn't really want to think of what might happen to Kimamon if her wounds didn't get tended to soon.

I walked to a small river we'd past a while ago and took some moss drenching it in the cool moistness. As I looked at the ripples in the water I could have sworn I saw another creature there instead of me. The creature was tall and walked on two legs. It had the same colors as me and similar markings. It had twin tails and short hair. I shook my head and looked back in, but all I saw was me. The vision was gone.

I laughed at myself telling myself that it was just the water playing tricks on me. I walked off and found a berry bush and took a few branches of it for us to eat.

When I came back with a water filled moss and the berries Jessamon took the water and got to work immediately. She washed and bound Kimamon's wounds with the leaves she'd gathered.

After we ate, Kimamon lied down and fell asleep quickly. That was good for she'd need her sleep. Jessamon was pretty good with first aid.

I smiled at her and she smiled back, "We make a great team."

"Yes we do don't we!" She beamed.

"We better get our sleep as well." I said as I lied down to rest.

"Ya. Goodnight Ianumon. Sweet dreams." She said as she put her head in her paws and closed her eyes.

I couldn't sleep for a while. I kept thinking about our journey. About what had happened so far and what could happen in the future. Something kept telling me, however, that we would be ok. Eventually I closed my eyes and let the silent whispering of the wind lull me to sleep.
