Konnichiwa minna-san! Sorry I'm so incredibly late with this chapter! I
had my wisdom teeth removed and school's gotten in the way. *hangs head*
I'm bad at excuses. *ducks as readers throw sharp pointy objects and
threatening letters* Gomen nasai!

Ch 4: Introducing Darakumon

"They are close, yes, but they won't defeat us. They have only just found my message, they won't find us in time to destroy us like they did the others, yes. Yes." This came from a human-like Digimon. The voice was thin, but not high, and fairly pleasant to hear. The body of this Digimon could not be seen, shrouded in shadow as it was. It was hunched over an object that shone like the sun, the only light around, and stroked it tenderly, long navy hair shimmering briefly. Within this object was the image of the Digidestined Tamers.
***
"WHAT?!"
"Calm down, Takato."
"How can I calm down when a Digimon more powerful than the Devas-"
"TAKATO!" He looked at Jeri.
"What?"
"Calm down."
"Fine.." Rika turned to Mikae.
"Are you sure that you had a dream about us and Kamimon?" Mikae shook her head.
"I know I had a dream about you, but nothing about Kamimon. His name just seemed to pop into my head all the time." Rika sighed.
"So this is what we're panicking about. A dream about Kamimon that isn't a dream about Kamimon. Great."
"Lighten up, Rika. We have to take this seriously." Henry said.
"Why? We have no proof-"
"But this is the only lead we've had since the message he left us. If we ignore this, we might regret it later." Rika raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why?" Henry shrugged, the seriousness gone.
"I have no idea."
"We're gonna die."
***
Weeks passed, and Kamimon only left vague messages for the Tamers, teasing them. They found out, though, that the messages occurred only around a particular park. This park had a sort of cave in it. A large hole in one of the few ditches that many children had used for a clubhouse in the past. One that was now rumored to be haunted.
Getting frustrated with all the waiting around, Rika started insisting on storming the place to see if Kamimon was there or not. After several days of nonstop arguing, the others finally agreed to check the place out.
***
Kamimon turned from the shining object in front of him slightly as another Digimon appeared behind him.
"Master Kamimon."
"What is it? We do not like interruptions." The other bowed.
"I'm sorry, Master. I came to tell you that the children are planning to come here soon, to do battle with you." Kamimon turned away again.
"So, the children who would master Digimon are coming for a visit? How nice."
"Sir, they are stronger than they appear-"
"We are aware of their strength Darakumon. We will not be here when the children come. It is not yet time for us to meet, no." Darakumon moved towards Kamimon.
"Leave us!" He snapped. "We will take care of it." Darakumon bowed.
"Yes, Master Kamimon."
Kamimon was left with his precious light, alone in all the world but inside his head. He giggled insanely.
"Yes, we will take care of everything, won't we dearest?"
**Around Midday at the Park**
They met outside the 'cave' at one o'clock. Rika was early, earning a few sighs from her friends.
"Is everyone ready?" She asked, looking around. No objections.
"Well," Henry said. "We might as well go in."
Rika led the way, Takato and Henry close behind her. Mikae and Jerri were last, followed by their digimon.
Once inside, everyone got more nervous, and started at nothing. They made their way to the central chamber, and stopped in amazement when they got there. Everyone had expected some sort of hovel. A style of living below their standardized 'normal' from Kamimon. After all, he'd sounded crazy in his messages. Why shouldn't he live like a lunatic as well?
Boy, were they wrong.
The furniture had obviously been stolen, either from houses or the junkyard, but all of it had been mended and in some cases, improved. There was even a rug covering much of the dirt-packed floor. A crude hole had been carved in one of the walls, and ashes blanketed the inside. The overall effect was one of homey comfort, aside from the fact that the walls were made of slime covered rock and dirt, and that there was no light anywhere at all. This was not what they had been expecting from an insane Digimon who was stronger than the Devas.
"OK, let's start looking around." Mikae said, trying to break the silence and get everybody moving. This whole 'stand around and gawk at the cool hole in the ground' thing was starting to get to her.
Takato was the first to respond. "Right." Then everybody spread out. Not, might I add, throwing everything they touched on the ground. They actually knew how to hide the fact that they'd been there. Impmon hopped up on one of the cushioned chairs and relaxed.
Hey, no one's perfect.
"Look guys!" Jerri said, waving the others over. "I found something!" It was an envelope, and inside was a letter for them.
Greetings, dear children:
Congradulations! You have found our home, but I'm afraid that you did not find it soon enough. We have gone, knowing that you would come. We do not want to disappoint children, though. Even We do not commit such an act. We have decided that you will meet us tonight, by the lake nearby. If, that is, you choose to come through.
At midnight, children. Do not forget.
Kamimon
Rika stalked off after hearing Jerri read the letter, obviously mad that they had missed their enemy. He was always just one step ahead of them! Henry left then, presumably to try to calm Rika down.
"So," Mikae said, looking at Takato. "Are we gonna go?"
"Yup."
****
"Rika?" The red head turned at the sound of her name.
"What is it?"
"Why'd you go off like that?" She turned away again, blushing pinkly at the concern in his eyes.
"Nothing." Henry put a hand on her shoulder.
"Listen, I know you're frustrated, but-"
"I know, ok?! You don't have to preach to me."
"Rika." He said warningly. She cracked a smile. Henry was so easy to frustrate sometimes.
"Let's just concentrate on battling Kamimon, alright?" She shrugged off his hand and started to walk away. Henry stared after her.
"Rika."
****
Short, wasn't it? I hate writer's block. It only let me have a few pages! Arrrrrggg!! *sigh*
Anyway, I'll try to get the next chapter out sooner (hopefully next week or the one after that!)
But I won't do anything if I don't get reviews!
