Blast: This is the fourteenth chapter. This chapter will sport Sorato and
Kenyako, and a little history about my OC, Ayame Akira. Damn, I feel
lightheaded. Well, I don't own Digimon or its characters. And oh! IT will
be opening of classes! Yay! I missed my classmates so much! Although it'll
be another mix. In our school, we had 30+ sections. Okay, here it is!
~~ CHAPTER XIV: THE 1ST REUNION
All twelve Chosen Children were transported to the Digital World via Izzy's computer. Rei, a friend, volunteered to take after the laboratory for the whole day. All of them were taken to a wide plain.
"Ah! It feels so good to be back here again!" Daisuke exclaimed, taking in the great view.
"It is quite a while since I last went here." Izzy said. "Since I'm locked in the lab and all."
They started walking towards the area Rakirimon is guarding. Some are talking to each other, others are just walking and looking around. But one thing is certain for all the twelve Chosen: that they really miss going here.
Well, in the exception of Joe, that is.
Joe had been visiting the Digital World, but the thing is, he didn't come there to enjoy. Healing wounded digimon is his job. Others might not like it, but he had to. As his crest is: reliability.
After a while, Tai spotted a shadow coming towards them. As they get closer, the silhouette was recognized as more like a humanoid digimon. When they re in close range, the humanoid digimon was in fact, a ninja/pirate type with a tattered blue short coat and green skintight leather beneath. On his left arm is covered with hard titanium, and coils of the same metal around his legs. An ordinary white strap covers his head down to his nose. A crystal sword lies in the sheath strapped on his back. He stopped a few meters and knelt down on one knee.
"I was requested by Irania to escort you to the area, to make up for her absence." He started, looking straight at them through his blue eyes. To the Chosen, Irania was no longer a stranger. She is the cursed being who covered Ayame's soul and locking her in her area until the time she'll realize what being partners is all about, and she would know how Rakirimon saved her life as a child. Ayame had used that name long before, and Rakirimon was already accustomed to calling her that.
"Rakirimon, good day." Tai came forward. "Did you see any of our digimon? We were just passing through Agumon's area, and he wasn't there."
"I have no idea." The digimon replied. "Now, allow me to escort you."
They walked forward towards the solemn place that had locked the young holder of Trust for nine years. That's where Izzy was getting confused. For the first time in the genius' life, he wasn't able to fully understand the curse Ayame had. This was becoming evident on his face, and Mimi was the first to notice it.
"Koushiro, are you alright?" she asked, knocking on the redhead's skull lightly. "You seemed...worried about something."
"Oh, no." Izzy waved a hand. He was used to Mimi calling him of his first name. Well, a long time ago, it seems. "It's just, I was still wondering how Rakirimon saved her life."
The digimon in question heard this and turned his head to Izzy. "Do you really want to know how I saved Irania?"
"Well, if you don't mind telling us." Izzy answered. "That still puzzles me."
Rakirimon didn't slow down. He just continued walking, but he talked. "Irania was disowned by her parents and was given to her Aunt Lanie. One of the reasons she was disowned is because of the terrible disease that struck at her at birth. It was incurable, and they can't sustain her for long. Lanie, for obvious reasons, is my partner while she was still young, and is connected to me. She didn't have the money to sustain her niece, either, so we made a pact, along with some others. They were to take my data sample and duplicate it, and mix it with hers. That way, she will be able to survive. But she didn't accept that fact. That's the reason for the curse."
"So, Ayame was half of you?" Tai asked, rather interested in the conversation that tells the girl's history.
"Not really, no." Rakirimon stopped, knowing they've reached the place. "Let's say, it's like those humans called 'blood transfusion'." He took out his sword from its sheath and struck the ground with it. That's where the whole scenery changed. The ground was suddenly full of flower weeds and trees are randomly placed. But the one thing that surprised the Chosen is...
"Taichi!"
"Yamato!"
"Sora!"
"Mimi!"
"Izzy!"
"Joe!"
"Takeru!"
"Hikari!"
"Daisuke"
"Yolei!"
"Iori!"
"Ken!"
The voices ran towards their direction, and a second later, they found themselves knocked down to the ground with their own digimons. No one was able to describe how happy they felt, some were even on the verge of tears.
"Agumon! It's been a long time, buddy!" Tai exclaimed, hugging his orange dinosaur digimon.
"Gabumon!" Matt said, with the glee of a nine year old. "You're here!"
"Oh, Biyomon, I missed you so much!" Sora cried while embracing her pink bird digimon.
"Palmon!" Mimi sniffed, hugging her own green plant digimon.
"Tentomon! How're you? I miss you!" Izzy said, beaming on his red buy digimon.
"Gomamon!" Joe smiled, kneeling down on his white and purple water digimon.
"Patamon, it's so good to see you!" T.K. exclaimed, looking up at his yellow digimon taking residence of his head again.
"Oh, Gatomon!" Kari said as she took her feline digimon in her arms.
"Hey, V-Mon! How're you, buddy!" Daisuke said as he and his blue dragon digimon exchanged grins.
"Armadimon!" Iori smiled, patting his yellow animal digimon at his hard back.
"Hawkmon! Oh! I missed you so much!!" Yolei squealed, grabbing her bird digimon to a bearhug.
"Wormmon! It's so good to see you!" Ken exclaimed as he mounted his green worm digimon on his shoulder.
"This truly is a reunion." Rakirimon said with a faint smile, and then dedigivolved back into a whitish wolf and began to walk away from the overjoyed Digimon and their partners. Tai was first to notice that he is moving away.
"Okamimon?" he asked. "Aren't you staying here?"
"Oh, no." Okamimon answered. "I don't hang much around here. And besides, Lanie needs my help. Even though Irania is my partner now, things won't change the way it was before. Call on me if you need anything."
Tai nodded. Ayame was very busy with her job, so the digimon must really want company. He was told by Iori and Yolei when they were still on the same apartment, that Lanie wasn't one to go out much. Lanie Johnson (the sister of Ayame's mother- American-French) lives there beside their apartment doors. So Okamimon must've a grand time staying with her.
Agumon grinned. "Yolei notified Ayame of the reunion, who in turn told Rakirimon. We decided to surprise you guys. All the others were not that hard to convince, but Gomamon was pledged not to tell Joe."
"And boy, was it a surprise." Yolei said, hearing Agumon. "Hawkmon never told me anything!"
"As loyal I am to you, Yolei, I can't tell any surprises." Hawkmon answered, flying beside her. "It will spoil the whole thing."
"Although Gomamon had the hardest time." Ken piped in, walking beside Yolei. "Joe comes here almost every week. Good thing Gomamon decided not to be a kill joy."
"Why would I be, if this was to surprise our partners?" Gomamon huffed, beside his human doctor partner.
"Well, Gomamon did the right thing, though." Joe said, smiling down at his digimon. "He and the other digimons really made us happy."
"Oh, come on now!" Mimi exclaimed, breaking the conversation. "Rakirimon escorted us here to make use of the huge area! Are you guys going to stand there and chat, or are you going to help us with setting up the place?"
After setting up the area, with blankets and baskets, they decided on playing games. The first came game was 'Truth or consequence', which was no use because most of the Chosen are hardheaded and information is hard to squeeze out. So they make use of the empty bottle of whiskey (AN: Yes, I believe they're drunk at this time. God, even Iori!) for a game of dare that night. Only dare, though.
"Okay, Matt," Yolei said, pointing at the former singer through the campfire. "The bottle points you. Council!"
The people and digimon fell into a deep thought for a while, while Yamato was smirking. That's when V-Mon popped his head.
"Shing a shong!" he slurred. (AN: Was that the right one? Oh, probably.)
"What song?"
"Any shong!"
"Anyone brought a guitar?"
Izzy mused, the rampaged through his huge bag. "I took a guitar with me. Might come in handy." He glanced at Mimi's direction with a sweet smile.
Matt took the instrument to his arms. "T'was a long time I last played these things. Oh well."
(AN: Song by Aerosmith. I don't own it)
~~
I could stay awake just to hear your breathing
Watch your smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
~~ ~~
Yamato casted a glance at his wife, who was smiling sweetly. Biyomon and Gabumon grinned at each other with the words forming on the top of their heads that says, 'smitten.'
~~ ~~
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
*
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
~~ ~~
(AN: I'm going to cut it short since it was only a dare.)
After Matt sang, everyone clapped, and Sora rewarded him a kiss and whispered something, almost seductively, which caused the blonde to smile widely.
"I really love you." He said softly. Sora snuggled to him.
The other people looked at them, knowing well what the redhead had said to her husband, and no one didn't question it.
Matt took the bottle and spins it. It slowed down, to Tai, to Yolei, and it stopped to Ken. Everyone except him, Yolei and the digimons grinned. Matt gave them a look that says 'payback time!'.
"Okay, Ken!" he exclaimed. "Here's what you will do." He stands up and whispered things in the younger boy's ear.
The reaction was instantaneous. Ken first blushed, to a deeper color, and his jaw slacked. "What!"
All the Chosen looked at him. Matt grinned and shouts in a loud voice, obviously drunk. "Ladies and gentlemen, I requested Mr. Ichijouji to do a French kiss on Ms. Inoue for..." he looked at his watch. "five minutes!" Looking at Yolei's shocked look, his grin widening. "And, for obvious reasons, Ms. Inoue, you return the kiss."
The two had their jaw slack, almost touching the ground. The others began cheering them on. The digimons chose to hold their laughter. Ken and Yolei looked at each other. Well, the whiskey and vodka Mimi brought with her was blurring their senses.
Without thinking, Ken placed his hand on the back of Yolei's head and pulled her into a kiss. At first, everyone was surprised of the cerulean haired man's actions, even Yolei.
Much more to everyone's surprise, Yolei encircled her arms around his neck, and kissed him back. Hawkmon and Wormmon looked at each other and grinned. Matt was looking at his watch. Tai, Mimi and Izzy exchanged glances. Hikari, Takeru, Iori and Joe smiled, drinking a bit of vodka.
This went on for five absolutely five minutes, and then Matt yelled, "STOP!!" That's when Ken and Yolei released, gasping for air. Whoops and cheers came. Tai and Matt shared a high five. Meanwhile, Ken and Yolei were too blurry to even notice.
Hikari smiled and placed a hand on Yolei's shoulder and whispered something on her ear. "Hey, not now..."
*
That night, they went inside the tents. There were only five tents so they have to share. Sora and Matt sharing one, Mimi and Izzy with another, Tai and Hikari in one, Takeru, Iori and Joe in the biggest, and Ken and Yolei with one. Although they were having trouble sleeping because of some unnecessary noise inside the Ishida's tent. But they weren't about to complain now.
*
The next morning, they all woke up, bright eyed and bushy tailed, oh wait, leave the bushy tailed. When asked about the last night's events, Ken and Yolei didn't remember anything clearly. Well, the dose of whiskey did its job. Even Sora and Matt, they were wondering why the hell they were nude the morning they woke up.
It was Sunday already, so no one has a job to do. They spend the whole morning eating, playing, and also, Tai's personal favorite, talking about last night's events.
Afternoon came, and they have to say goodbye to each other, although I don't think they're saying goodbye that long.
~~
Blast: Well, I really want to put a little citrus, but I wanted to keep it PG-13 anyway. So what you think? Corny? Stupid? Nice? Don't hesitate to put in your opinions in the reviews! And also, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having heartburn right now. Ain't got no boyfriend, so my life is basically your reviews! Got it? I bet you did. Dya ne!
