~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I awoke the next morning feeling rather refreshed. Turning around, I was surprised to see the bed empty... except for me of course. No way! Don't tell me Ray got up before me... and I couldn't even tell? I want my Renamon form back. Hopping off the bed, I proceeded to the living room. The marble floor was cold, very cold. I don't believe I can hear a lion dance outside my house now... Don't know what a lion dance is? ASk any Chinese...
Peering around the corner, I saw Ray sitting on the sofa drinking from a dark blue mug. I doubt that's coffee. I hate coffee. The smell irks me. Sniff sniff. No, thank goodness. Thats not coffee. My senses tell me it some ingrediant from a plant's seed. Cocoa? Is that how you spell it. Okay fine, she's drinking hot chocolate. Like I can remember. There isn't hot chocolate in the digiworld. Okay maybe there is, how would I know? I stayed there for a moment watching her. She looked rather pretty. Her clothes were slightly crumpled compared to when I say her last night. Humans toss and turn in bed very much. I wasn't squashed last night. Good for me. Then again, Ray's not as bad as some people I've seen...
There she sits leg's outstretched under the coffee table. To this day I don't understand why its called a coffee table when she doesn't drink coffee. Her golden hair is mostly neatly combed save for a few strands that refuse to bend the right direction. Her blue eyes are staring at the television.. except its no longer those bulky televisions but streamlined to the wall. She crosses her left arm over to her right elbow while her right hand holds the mug, and she sips. Pretty soon I feel my paws going numb with the coldness of the marble floor. As if I just froze to the floor. Great, now I'm feeling cold. Having a tubby appearance as pokomon tends to radiate alot more heat than standing upright like a renamon with the main body mass away from the cold floor ... AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE.
"How long are you going to stand there IcePokomon?" Ray asked, Her Blue eyes glancing to me.
I walked, 'walked' is an understatement I swear I waddled, towards her and jumped up onto the sofa beside her.
"What are you drinking?" I asked, as if I couldn't tell already.
Ray glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.
"Chocolate."
"May I have some? Please?"
Ray closed her eyes and seemed to look somewhat contented for a moment.
"Very well. Anything else?"
I shook my head and she got up, placed the mug on the coffee table then moved towards the kitchen. I looked towards the television. My, has technology improved quite a bit. It was the morning news. Reports on the road condition, drops and rise in graphs. Ray explained to me last time it had something to do with paper.. I mean money. Politics. Whatever. I waddled (do NOT laugh) over to the remote control and was about to switch the channel when something caught my attention.
"And now from the latest update on another monster sighting last night at.. street where two figures seemed to confront it... police spokesman Sir..." My jaw almost dropped as I watched, listening carefully, narrowing my eyes. Please don't catch me on screen. Please please don't say anything about me... .
WHIZZ!!! I lept up in shock as one of the metal window coverings in the living room slid open vertically and a blue and white figure dropped in. STRANGER! I immediately launched myself at him with bared fangs (okay i don't have fangs do I?). His hand flew up to protect his face from me, a whirling pale blue ball at him.
"CHOMP!" I latched onto one of his fingers and bit down as hard as I could. He gave a yelp of shock and agony and immediately clutched his free hand around me, trying to pry me off. A cupboard door from the kitchen was banged shut as Ray ran out and saw me latched onto the man's finger. He had a somewhat pained expression on his face.
"Ray!" Both of us yelled at the same time and on yelling, I let go of his finger and dropped to the floor, then bounded over to Ray. He shook his hand a few times, muttering some curses under his breath. I growled, ready to attack again, even though he was huge. The next thing that happened was completely out of my sense of reasoning. Ray bent down, scooped me up in her hands and walked over to the man who had spikey blue hair and a tattoo over and under his right eye. My growl grew louder as we neared him.
"IcePokomon, say hello to Gyo. Gyo, this is IcePokomon." Ray introduced us. I could detect a slight tinge of laughter in her voice.
"That's a digimon?!"
"Yes. Isn't that obvious? Well pokomon?"
I stared at him then reluctantly spat out, "Hello."
I can't say Gyo looked likeable. I mean, he looked more like an evil guy. Blue spikey hair, with his colds eyes and the tattoo. He wore a white coat, like Ray, except that his had a stiff rounded colar. Clad in a shirt and long pants underneat, he wore leather boots and had an assortment or things (I fancied I saw some metal darts) attatched to his black belt. His sleeves were folded up around his elbows and he smelled somewhat of burst coal, and looked slightly dusty.
"Hmmph. I thought it was some weird pup that you picked up."
Okay. That was an INSULT! I gave him a glare the best I could in Pokomon form, but I guessed it turned out to look like a cute pout because Ray just ruffled my fur slightly.
"Weird? Don't be mean Gyo. So there courteous gentleman, I suppose you've got something for me? Especially since you chose to slide into my home without even telling me."
Gyo nodded while brushing some dust off his hair and clothes. He brought out a small piece of paper and Ray set me down to grasp the paper and glance through it. I wondered over to the metal 'window' and peered in. So it wasn't a window, but it seemed like some sort of tunnel. I sniffed and found myself sneezing two or three times in quick repetition. It wasn't a sound I liked.
"Cheez! Cheez! CHEEZ!" Ray chuckled, evidently she found it cute, but no way was I going to sneeze some more. I quickly scrabbled away from the 'window' and the metal door slide back down. I watched Gyo carefully. He seemed to be discusing something with Ray and soom enough Ray's expression changed to a more serious look. I stood nearby to catch what they were saying.
"But are you certain that the information is accurate?" Ray hissed.
Gyo nodded again, "Hypnos acertains that the monster sightings and attacks have become more frequent in the past month, near to the western side of the city where there are more power failures. We speculate that the power outages could tie with the monsters although we are unsure. Even then, we still cannot ensure what the monsters are... or whether they are digimon for that matter..."
He said and glanced at me. I narrowed my eyes again. I still didn't like him. Ray had crossed her arms while listening to him. I noticed she still kept some distance from him although it looked somewhat casual, she was still very formal towards him though I initially percieved them as friends. So they weren't exactly that close yet. Bravo!
Feeling slightly hungry, I padded to the kitchen and realised that there was something hot up there on the counter by the sink. I sniffed. Hot chocolate! I lept onto a stool nearby and onto the counter. Facing my eyes was a plate of brown liquid that was piping hot. Perfect thing to warm me up since the marble floor was cold as ice. I moved towards it and sniffed again. The sweet aroma of chocolate filled my nose. Ray had put it in a plate for me. How thoughtful... only that now I would look like a puppy lapping it up. Which reminds me... I WANT MY RENAMON FORM BACK!!! I reminded myself to ask her to digivolve me later. Satisfied by the warmth the hot chocolate radiated, I licked the plate clean. I can't remember how long it took me, but by the time I was done Ray and Gyo had finished their conversation. I stood on the kitchen counter and swished my tail, waiting patiently for Ray summarise and tell me the neccessary details. Gyo walked over to the sofa and made hismelf comfortable. I shot him a glare then turned to smiled sweetly at Ray.
"Icepokomon... I should tell you, Gyo is like my partner who helps Hypnos with the research on the monsters. Try to be nice to him?"
"You're working for Hypnos?" I exclaimed.
"Not directly, I just offered my services for a sizable amount of money, if not, no I am working as a scientist. Does that satisfy your question?" She said somewhat irritably with a tone that said 'don't ask anymore on that topic and I mean it!'
"Okay okay, so what do you know of the monsters?"
"They seem to fear the light. We're not sure if they're digimon and they seem to draw power from electrical wires that run through houses and underground in the city. Other than that, more on the updates of politics, what the government is saying and the police... The unimportant stuff."
"Okayy..." I said. "What are our next course of action."
She had turned to grab her mug from the coffee table. Gyo glanced at her, watching her face as she came back to the kitchen. I state again, I still do not trust Gyo.
"We? We go back to the building and see if the monster left anything behind." She said it in a matter-of-fact way.
"Gyo, let's go." She called.
"Alright! Let me do the driving."
I stared. No way! She ruffled the fur above my head then carried me out of the 'house'. I groaned. Of all things we're going to spend a day with that guy? Not my idea of fun. We moved to the carpark and I saw Ray's car. An excellent choice I must say. It was a black sportscar, sleek and gleaming ebony... then again it didn't exactly match her white coat... or Gyo's white coat either. She took out the keys as Gyo stood beside, too close for my comfort, waiting patiently for her to pass him the keys. She dangled it in front of his nose and he made a move to grab it. Then she swiped it back and gave him a look.
"Do you really think I'm gonna let YOU drive my new car? You have your own!"
Gyo looked somewhat disappointed and shrugged. He side-stepped letting Ray unlock the door and stood there. Ray gave him another look as he opened the driver's door for her then closed it after she got in, with me of course. Then he moved across the front of the car engine and got in to sit in the passenger seat beside us. I fixed my eyes upon him. What was that gesture supposed to mean? And normally, guys do the driving... but still I was glad he wasn't the one driving. At that point of time I suddenly felt like sticking my tongue out at him. Only that I would look childish if I did so. darn, now there's some droning noise outside my house...
Ray pressed a button on a console and the gate in front of the car slid open revealing a long narrow tunnel in front that seemed to have a spiral at the end of it. Starting the car's engine, she drove us up and out in to the daylight. Out in the daylight, I realised that the residential area had come to live with people walking about the streets, children and adults rushing about to school and work. It had an overall busy appearance. Pretty soon we pulled up beside the desolated apartment blocks. There were a few policemen around doing.. I don't know. The WEirdest checks I had ever seen. I hid under Ray's white coat as she draped her coat over her left arm and we approached the cordoned up area. A guard was about to stop us when Gyo held up a badge and we were allowed to pass through. I tried not to move too much as we approached the building.
Meanwhile, I could feel Ray's tension rise as she spoke little and her face had a cold emotionless gaze. It was the normal expression she gave to strangers and only a few, like I, who knew her intimately, knew that she had a soft and somewhat humorous side. If not, she could pass off as the coldest person ever. My heart started to feel heavy as I looked at the grey apartments. I was feeling what she was feeling. It was unease. There was soemthing inside. Trouble was going to happen...
