Chapter Nine
"I say we eat, and then I'm open for suggestions" Taichi, Digimon
Taichi looked out the window of the car spacing off, as he watched the clouds float overhead. He was finally going to see his girlfriends hometown, though from what news reports said it was going to be an exciting trip. He looked down at his hand holding Ashley's, it had been awhile since they were alone. He would definatly have to make it up to her.
Ashley noticed him looking down at them holding hands and couldn't help wondering about Taichi's reaction earlier. 'Maybe he was having a strange dream before I came over' She thought. With her free hand she played with a strand of hair and also looked out the window.
It hadn't been a long time since she moved, but hoped at the same time she could find her old friends. She sighed as the car was making excellent timing.
Majority of the trip Ashley and Taichi didn't speak. Taichi, was thinking about the last dream, and Ashley too excited to strike up a conversation.
Back at her house Michelle was lounging about trying to think of something to do. She had finnally been able to pull herself from bed, and now was on the couch. Staring up at the ceiling she sighed.
During this time she could think about Gary, the guy she truely was in love with, not Mitch. Putting her hands behind her head, with green eyes twinkling her thought patterns seemed to switch to that of the creature.
That shadow thing that attacked her and Renamon, and the weapon, or whatever it was. She wished she could call Taichi and ask him about it, but he was on the way to West Shinjuki. Slowly she began to doze off, too bored to try to fight off her sleepiness.
Gary smirked as he watched Drakemon slam into his wall. "Now what was that for? Getting clumsy?" He asked.
"Very funny. Just wait till you see if I get you back." Drakemon commented landing on the edge of Gary's bed.
The boy sat down and put his chin into his hands, in a bit of a crouching position while sitting. It was going to be a very boring week, with Taichi and Ashley in West Shinjuki, and Michelle not feeling well, and Mitch, well Mitch was doing other things, he was stuck at home with nothing to do.
"Look what happens when you just stick with certain people as friends, you get bored." The little dragon commented.
"Hey, I can't help it if hanging out with those guys seemed right somehow." Gary then leaned back on his bed feeling sleepy suddenly, and closed his eyes.
"Besides I could always keep you comp...." Drakemon began, but was interupted by Gary's snoring. "Humans." He muttered and closed his own eyelids.
Mitch yawned as he moved through his house to his room. Opening the door he gasped outloud. Things were thrown everywhere, and his partner in the middle of it. "Terriermon what did you do?"
The bunny turned towards him. "Well you locked me in, so I got bored, and thought I would look through your things."
The teen walked over and picked the bunny up. "What am I going to do with you?"
"I don't know what are you going to do?"
"Funny Terriermon."
"Hey, I'm just trying to stay on your good side."
Yawning again, Mitch sat on his bed and pulled near his phone. Maybe he could call Michelle and he could see how she was feeling. He picked up the reciever and began dialing, then he hung up half way. At the moment a nap seemed like a better idea.
Falling down on his back in the bed he fell asleep, but at the same time he was holding Terriermon trapped like a stuff animal. "Mitch. Mitch, wake up." Hearing the snores coming out the bunny sighed. "Humans."
The grass felt good as Mikira walked through it, one of the few spots left untouched since the darkness began covering the Digital Plain. A light breeze made her white hair seem to float in the air.
Her light blue katana was at her side, as she held the hilt of it. It was wise to hold it, just incase, but right now it seemed peaceful. Looking ahead she saw Danny and Scott practicing with their own weapons, but being careful. Willing hers away she began to walk up to them.
Danny smiled as he also willed his weapon away to see Mikira approaching. She looked peaceful almost harmless, but he knew inside she was a force to be reckoned with.
Mitch also saw Mikira, and was suprised to see her. He tucked his staff under an arm as she walked closer to the two.
"What are you doing here? What happened to scouting?" Danny asked.
She turned towards him. "This place feels peaceful enough, and will serve as a resting place, for now."
Danny nodded and sat on the ground. Michelle and Mitch followed this suit.
Mitch looked over at the two as he saw Danny take Michelle's hand, and hold it, the girl didn't even seem to mind. Then again, what was he to think, his future wife was back in the Real World. 'She is probably dead now. Considering how time passes slower here.' He then sighed.
"Anything wrong?" Danny asked, looking at Mitch intently.
The boy waved Danny off and slowly stood up. "I'm going for a jog." He muttered, and without another word took off.
She watched Mitch run off before turning to Danny. "What is with him?" She asked.
He looked down at the two holding hands, before meeting Mikira's green eyes. "It is hard to explain, Mitch kinda told me about it. You see, back in the Real World, he was happily in love with a girl, and they were engaged, the wedding was two days after he was zapped into the Digital Plain."
Mikira's eyes widened some, and she squeezed Danny's hand.
"Considering how time passes differently here, his future wife probably remarried and have grandchildren, or great grandchildren now. He feels guilty for what he more then likely made the girl feel." Danny then looked off to the boy in the distance. "He also seems to blame the Digital Plain for bringing him here, that would explain his distance."
She followed Danny's gaze her eyes silver once more. "Soon all his guilt and pain will be gone."
Danny raised his eyebrow. "What is that supposed to mean?"
The girl shook her head, her eyes turning back to green again. "I'm not sure, and here I thought Akira was the only one who recieved parts of the prophesy.
He shrugged and turned back to the white-haired girl. "Speaking of which, where is Akira and Adara?"
Mikira smirked slightly and with her free hand began playing with her orb. "Their off spending time on their own. If you know." She muttered raising up an eyebrow.
Danny couldn't help, but feel a blush come to his cheeks, causing Mikira to laugh. "Shouldn't they be concentrating on how to attack the Dark Armies next?"
"You can be so silly sometimes Danny." She commented, and standing up taking Danny with her the two began walking through the grass.
Hikari sighed as she waited for Yamato and Sora, Gennai had called a meeting at his house, and the two were making them late. 'They better not be doing what I think their doing' She thought.
Takeru seemed to know how she was feeling and put an arm around her shoulders hoping to make her relax. It seemed to do so, just as his brother entered the room, with Sora not too far behind.
"Okay everyone ready to go?" Daisuke asked as he pulled out his D3, almost at the same time everyone else pulled out their digivices.
"Wait a minute, where is Taichi?" Sora asked looking around.
"He is with Ashley in West Shinjuki right now...." Hikari began.
"We think he went mostly because of the strong digital energy coming from it. He wanted to check it out." Koushiro interrupted.
Sora nodded her head only. "Oh." She mummered.
"Well Daisuke do the honors." Ken said.
"Digi Port Open!" Daisuke shouted and the entire was pulled through the computer in a bright flash of light.
The car pulled into West Shinjuki streets, as Taichi woke up from his doze and looked around amazed at the city. "So this was once your home."
Ashley nodded. "You bet, I had some good times here. My main hope is that I get to see some of the people I knew."
Taichi nodded as the car was pulled into a nearby hotel. After unpacking Taichi knocked on the room that Ashley was staying in. "So where to first?" He asked.
"Well first I thought we could walk to a bakery." She said smiling.
Taichi raised up his eyebrows. "Couldn't we just order food here?"
"No silly, it is where I used to babysit this one kid, and I thought I would drop by."
The brown-haired boy just nodded. "We are taking our partners just in case, something attacks."
"Good point."
After Ashley told her parents where they were going, the two headed outside, Ashley had a bag which carried Felixmon and Taichi had Agumon dressed up in a coat and hat.
"So is there anything else that you can tell me about this place?" Taichi asked.
"Yeah like where to get some food." Agumon said.
"We are going to a bakery, we can get you something there, but at the moment be quiet."
"Okay Taichi."
The four began to enter into a park, and walked along the sidewalk hand in hand. "Well it has changed alot since I was here." She muttered looking around at the trees.
Agumon then sniffed the air for a moment and paused, reaching up a clawed paw he pulled slightly on Taichi's jacket. "What is it?" Taichi asked.
The orange dinosaur nodded off to another direction, and Taichi followed him, leaving Ashley to walk around some more. In no time the two reached a cleared area with a cage building up top.
As Taichi began to walk up to the cage, Agumon seemed distracted by the strange scent and walked towards it. What he came upon though wasn't what he thought.
There was a boy scolding a red dinosaur, with black markings. Suddenly it's eyes turned yellow glare and toward where Agumon stood.
"What is it Guilmon?" The boy asked, and pulled out a strange digivice, and pointed it at Agumon. "Hmm, Agumon rookie level, attacks Peper Breath and...." He never got to finish.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon launched his attack at Agumon.
Taichi looked inside of the cage, and saw the giant hole that was there, and was about to investigate, when his digivice began beeping. "Agu's in trouble." He muttered and ran off to where his partner was.
Agumon jumped out of the way of the attack just in time, he heard rustling in the bushes and knew his parnter was coming up.
Taichi emerged from the bushes to see his partner being attacked by a kid and his digimon. "Hey kid, why are you attacking my partner here." He called out.
The boy froze in the middle of slashing his card to meet Taichi's brown eyes. The boy had brown hair, wore yellow goggles, had a blue shirt, grey pants, and green tennis shoes. "The name's Takato, and I thought your digimon was a wild one." He then turned to the red dino. "It's okay Guilmon you can relax now."
"Takato huh? Wild ones?" Taichi muttered.
"Yeah, so I guess there are other tamers, besides Ruki, Jenrya, and I." Takato said patting Guilmon on the head.
"Me tamer, no I'm a chosen, otherwise known as a digidestined."
Just then Ashley emerged from the bushes. "Taichi there you are, I was worried, and when I heard a attack I thought you were in trouble." The girl then turned her attention to the boy standing there. "Takato, is that you, I haven't seen you since you were little."
The goggle boy blinked for a minute, suprised, then he paused studing the girl with long brown flowing hair. "Ashley?" He muttered.
She nodded and ran over to hug the boy, and he hugged her back.
"I can see you know each other." Taichi commented leaning against a tree.
Ashley nodded pulling away and standing up. "He was part of the reason we were going to the bakery. Besides visiting his parents. You see I used to babysit Takato, and I sort of became part of the family."
"Can I come out now." Came a muffled voice from Ashley's bag.
"Sure thing." The girl muttered and opened the bag to let Felixmon out. The cat digimon jumped to the ground, looking a little annoyed. "What's got you upset?" She asked.
"Well it is very cramped in your bag, and you should have let me out earlier."
"Sorry."
Takato looked at Ashley with new interest. "I didn't know you had a digimon too."
The girl smiled, "Yeah, I'm still amazed with having Felixmon for a partner."
"Hey was that a shot?" Her partner asked.
Ashley sighed, and turned back to Taichi. "Where did you go anyway?"
"Well Agumon sensed something so we thought to check it out, and I found this cage thing with a hole in it." He answered moving from the tree.
"Oh that's Guilmon's home." Takato said quickly. "Which reminds me, I'm meeting a fellow tamer there, if you guys want to come along."
Ashley shrugged. "We don't have much else to do, so why not." She then walked over and taking Taichi's hand dragged him along back to the cage, with Takato leading.
Jenrya was waiting outside the area when Guilmon came through the bushes followed by Takato. "About time you got here." He said.
"Sorry, I got tied up." The goggled-headed muttered.
Next came Ashley and Taichi through the bushes with their partners. "So this is Jenrya." Taichi commented looking over at the Chinese boy.
Jenrya sighed. "Maybe Ruki was right, they are popping up everywhere."
Takato sighed. "Jen, they are not tamers, their chosen, which is different, from what we are."
The chinese boy just shrugged his shoulders as he turned to meet Taichi's eyes. "Then what are you doing here."
Taichi then decided to answer the boy's question. "Mostly because Ashley here wanted to visit old friends, and to check out the digital activity happening."
Takato looked from the two of them, as Jen believed Taichi's statement. "Well lets go inside before someone sees our digimon." He said and walked up the stairs.
Ashley walked inside, followed by her boyfriend, and Jenrya. She knew there was going to be a explaination from both sides coming up.
Well that's it for this chapter of the Unknown. The next chapter will be mostly focused on the other digidestined and the meeting with Gennai. Please Read and Review!
Takeru's Voice: In the next chapter Gennai has some news to tell us, along with a story of long ago, will be told, you don't want to miss out!
