K.H.: I'm quitting with the disclaimers, because I think everyone knows by
now that I don't own Digimon.

Takuya woke up the next morning in his bed, lying on top of the covers.
He noticed that he was completely nude & glances around nervously, "Where are my clothes???"
He quickly puts on some clothes before anyone could see him in his 'birthday suit'.
Afterwards, he thinks back to last night & holds his head, "What happened after that monster attacked us? I don't remember anything much after that."
His eyes widen slightly, "I sure hope Tommy made it home safely."
He walks out of his room & glances around, not finding anyone. He walks over to the phone, picks it up, and dials Tommy's number.
After two rings, Tommy's mother picks up the phone, --"Hello?"--
"Hello, this is Takuya. Is Tommy there by any chance?"
--"Yes, but I'm afraid that he's still asleep. What happened to him last night Takuya?"--
Takuya blinks, "What do you mean?"
--"When he came home last night, he was all dirty & there was blood all over his arm. Did he get attacked by something?"--
"I walked him home last night & we were attacked by a large dog or something like that. I would say it was a wolf, but wolves aren't found in the middle of a city. I had gotten hurt, but I don't remember Tommy..." he says, trailing off.
"Can I please come see Tommy?"
--"I suppose, be over here in about an hour or two if you can."--
"Ok, I'll be over there soon..."
They say goodbye to each other before hanging up & Takuya stares blankly down at the phone, "Maybe Tommy got hurt after I was unconscious, but..."
He narrows his eyes a bit, "... somehow I don't think that's what happened. I just have this gut feeling...." A strange memory flashes in his mind of Tommy lying on the ground in the cementary, crying. There was blood on one of Tommy's arms, most likely made from a sharp rock or something similar.
He blinks & the image slowly disappears from his mind, "What the heck was that?"
His stomach growls, which immediately takes first priority at the present moment, "I'm starving, time to get some breakfast."
He enters the kitchen & raids the refridgerator & pantry, relieving them of some of their contents. He begins flipping pancakes like a professional, or so he thinks. It's only when his mother comes in that he makes a slip up, resulting in a pancake landing on his head rather than in the pan.
She sets down some bags & looks at him, "Trying to show off again Takuya?"
He pulls the pancake off his head & looks at her, "Dad does it, why aren't you yelling at *him*?"
"Yes, but your father can do it without making a mess... usually. There have been a few times when his creations got stuck to the ceiling. Guess it's a man thing..." she replies with a shrug.
Takuya narrows his eyes, "Hey! I've seen your food move after you cooked it!"
She closes her eyes, "That was because there was an earthquake."
He scratches his head, "Oh... yeah. I forgot..."
After cleaning up, he takes a small stack of pancakes out into the dining room. He begins shoveling them into his mouth before remembering something.
He looks up at his mother, who is still in the kitchen, "Hey mom, I'm going over to a friend's house in about an hour."
She glances up at him from whatever she's occupied herself with & nods, "Alright, but stay out of trouble."
"I don't get into trouble, that's Shinya's job!" he argues before stuffing some more pancake into his mouth, making his cheeks bulge like a hamster.
"Yeah, but Shinya wasn't the one who threw a stink bomb into our neighbors' backyard when their dog wouldn't stop barking," she answers.
He chokes a bit on his pancakes & pounds his chest.
After clearing the obstruction, he looks at his mother, "Yeah, but that was a long time ago."
She looks up in thought, "Approximately 1 month & 3 days ago to be more exact. Not long enough."
He growls & pokes at his pancakes with his fork, "Yeah, well..."
At that moment, he notices something under his fingernails & inspects them. Through his many years of playing Soccer, getting scrapes & other injuries, he realizes what the substance is & his face pales.
Blood.
He jumps up & begins sprinting to the door, "I'm going to a friend's house, be back later!"
Takuya's mother is about to reply, but then stops when the door slams shut, "I wonder what he's in such a hurry for..."
