Chosen… in the Dark part 8

Disclaimer: Mi nuh own digimon [hisses teeth], Bandai an' dem do.

Chibi-Akuji: M'kay… I'm at liberty to reveal why BlackTailmon was acting weird around me, so… This flashback takes place when Vamdemon takes control of Akuji and turns him against the rest of the Chosen Children. When I say 'I', 'me' or 'my', I am referring to myself (Akuji), the Chosen Child.

When I say 'he', 'him', or his', I am referring to Shaikimitsu Hakujin, the, would be, Dark Master.

Chibi-Tailmon: WARNING from now… there is a can of lemon-lime 7-up awaiting (meaning there are some sexual scenes and acts in this story). You don't have to read this, but it does explain my mysterious actions around Akuji.

Chibi-Akuji: If you're wondering why BlackTailmon is commentating with me, its because we both have to get over this part of her life together, so we can trust each other again.

Victim of Dark Ways

Halfway to the dwelling of the enemy, I stop for an emotionally distraught digimon; that would be Spritemon. We were on the way to Piemon's castle when she just broke down and started crying. I have a feeling that this is what has been bugging her since her return to the digital world, and I must know what it is. No longer traveling at subsonic speeds, she lands us down and I face her towards me, embracing her in my arms.

"Spritemon… you have been like this for quite awhile… there's something bothering you. I need to know what's wrong. I just can't stand being left in the dark like this… kudasai…" I was on the verge of tears myself, not for the state she was in, but for the fact that after all we've been through and how well we go together, she can't trust me to tell me what's upsetting her. "Kudasai *, Spritemon… I have to know!"

Sniffling and wiping her tears, she finally gave in. "All right… I guess I can't hold it in any longer… But, please understand that this is not easy for me to explain to you. It has to do with you…"

"With me…?"

~*Flashback*~

Two ravens fly together. They are carefree, fond of each other, oblivious to the dangers that will now consume them. They are struck down by this danger and are backed in the corner.

* * *

I am not awake. I have been knocked out by some mysterious force. What I dream of are things that should or might take place in the future. The one that rings loud and clear is one that hits me close to home. It is about my digimon, and it is not pleasant. My digimon will no longer be with me. My digimon will be no more. She will be destroyed by an evil; an evil that I despise with the whole of my heart. Both she and I have been captured by this evil. This evil will have his way with us. There is no doubt that this evil will turn us to his ways. Is there any way to stop him? There are eight other children around my age; these children and their own digimon companions also seek this evil out. They have not been doing well against this evil, well enough to survive. This evil has a face. This evil… is Vamdemon! A short time ago, he came to the real world from the digital world through the gateway that sent me and probably the other Chosen Children here. Although I do not consider myself one of these Chosen, I will eventually have to join their forces to rid this and that world of this evil. That is, if I am able to escape my fate. I have been bound to what seems to be an operating table, and I have no doubt that he has something evil planned for me, like sending me over to the dark side.

I just hope that my digimon is able to escape this fate. I don't care what happens to me, but not a hair shall be harmed on her head as so long as I'm alive and kicking. I have a special bond with my digimon that I have never experienced at anytime in my life so far with any other person I remember who was close to me. She is a very intriguing character, my digimon. Her name is BlackTailmon. So far as I can gather, she has many different forms of herself. I don't know the purpose of this, but lately I think it is to fight off different digimon. The order of forms goes like this: digiegg, fresh (or baby), infant, child, adult (which she is now), perfect, and ultimate. * I recently found out that there was another form called armor. She is able to get through these stages by way of evolving. I still don't understand the concept. She is of the virus type and she tells me virus type digimon are supposed to be evil, yet she is not.

So far I have only seen three of her forms to date, her child, adult and armored form. In her child form, she takes on the appearance of a little pinkish-coloured puppy, with droopy ears. As her adult form, she is a little feline, a bit weird looking in a cute kind of way. She is black in colour and has hauntingly warm crimson eyes. She has blueberry-violet coloured ear tufts and the same colour stripes on her tail. She has on dark blueberry, clawed gloves that she asked me to never have her remove, something to do with her past. Each has two red stripes around the wrist area. She has the appearance of a cuddly teddy bear… just don't tell her I called her that. In her armored form, her name is Nefertimon. She grows substantially in that form and takes on the appearance of a sphinx. She goes from black to white in colour, had jeweled, armored, yellow gloves with red stripes, chest armor, shoulder guards, and a helmet that gave her the appearance of a sphinx. Her helmet has a snake's head medallion on it, which was gold. The rest of her armor was trimmed in gold also. Also, she then has wings. Finally, she has a heavy golden necklace on her chest armor.

She reaches this form with something called a digimental, as I was told by Gennai, the all-knowing digimon. It takes on the form of a digiegg, but substantially smaller. I found it in a cave I fell into when I was running away from the other kids. Of course I thought they were going to kill me or something—but, of course that's what I thought of anything I ran into that was seeking me out, even my digimon. I wonder if she has forgiven me for that yet. It was this digimental that helped BlackTailmon evolve and fly me out of there. After that, we couldn't get it to work again. I would later find out that it shouldn't have happened in the first place, taking BlackTailmon's evolution tree into perspective.

Before that she and I used to do everything together. Between chasings from other digimon, we would laugh and play and run around together. All this does not matter now. I realize that my life in the digital world flashing before my eyes. Is this the end for me? Hmm… maybe not, or else the whole of my life would have been flashed too. I can now hear voices around me. Two of them are male and one female. One of the two mon's is Vamdemon. The other womon and mon I have never heard before. I seems as if they are finally going to have their way with me. I have no choice but to await my fate.

"Very good, Phantomon. I am very impressed by the way you were able to neutralize our little friends here. But you should have put LadyDevimon in the same state as this boy. We would not have to listen to her bellyaching and pleading throughout this sequence." Vamdemon shot a look towards LadyDevimon. "I do suggest that you keep quiet lest you want to see your precious human friend in one piece again."

She dangled from her chains, battered. "You wouldn't…!"

He smirked. "Bloody Stream!" He used his red lightning whip to slap her across the face, drawing blood. "Do not test my patience! You should know how serious I am in this matter from your previous experiences! Not even a peep from you!"

She had to talk. She couldn't just let this happen. "Nande? Why are you doing this? Why him? Wasn't it bad enough you had my sister and me as slaves, now you want my partner? He did nothing to deserve this! Let him go!" She struggled with her shackles. She was teary eyed. "You can't do this! You can't take him away from me! I won't let you!"

"Silence!"

"Shimatta *! You've already taken my sister once; I'm not going to lose him too! Let him gooooo!!!"

"Enough! I have grown tired of your witless gibberish! I have taken this boy because of his power and he will be my slave. He will be the end of the Chosen Children… and you too. He is no longer human, in fact he never was. He is of the ultimate persuasion and anyone would be foolish to go against him once he is my follower. He will destroy those petty children and any other who dare oppose my rule! The end of days is near! And there is nothing you can do to stop it! Phantomon! Neutralize this disturbance so we can continue in silence!"

Phantomon hovered over her and chanted something, causing her eyes to grow heavy. "You… won't… get away… with……* "

"Ahh… but I have, cursèd womon, I have." He turns back to Phantomon. "Now, are you sure that your spells have left his mind vulnerable to my willing?"

"Yes, Lord Vamdemon… he is all yours."

"Splendid!" He turns to my unconscious body. "Today is the day that you are a Chosen Child no more." He gave out a chilling laugh. He raised his hands over me and murmured, "Mind Warp." New thoughts flooded my mind. Dark thoughts that I was not able to fight or resist. It has become too much for my mind to contain. The darkness now prevails.

* * *

The ravens have gotten into a safer position. They are now parted from each other, but are on either side of the danger…

* * *

"Is there something you wish of me, Lord Vamdemon? I was informed of your whims. Is there something wrong?" The boy asks in an older, yet possessed voice.

This was an older boy, appearing about the age of eighteen, one of the side effects of the dark powers at work. He was reformatted from his younger body to one that was strong, capable, deadly. In his younger form he would do Vamdemon no good, but to alter him to be a stronger counterpart of himself, it was more than fitting, it was ingenious. With the ability of a top athlete, strength of a lion, agility of a cat, speed of a bolt of lightning and cunning of a mischievous chimp, he would make a formidable foe to anyone opposing him. And yet here he was, standing in front of Vamdemon and his minion PicoDevimon, who claimed that it could not happen. He claimed that Vamdemon could not reformat the boy without destroying him. The fool he was to doubt Vamdemon's abilities! He showed both him and the rest of his evil minions the true power he holds. No one in court in the real world could level up to Vamdemon. Only one was probable, the one that he has created. This is why he has called him; to make sure that the one called Shaikimitsu Hakujin pledges him complete and full allegiance, and remains loyal to him. Only after he has proven himself loyal will he spare him and his digimon and convert his digimon to the ways of evil.

"Akuji… or shall I call you Hakujin?" he raised an eyebrow.

Hakujin smirks slightly. "Call me whatever you wish, although Hakujin has a nice ring to it…" he crossed his arms and scratched his chin. "But Akuji sounds like a strong title… that is why I'm here right? To be strong?"

"Indeed, you are correct. I have called upon you. I have come to test your allegiance. I have a LadyDevimon chained up in my dungeon. I want you to… have your way with her… so to speak. Do this and you shall remain by my side as we become the victors over the real world."

The young digihuman obviously struggled with his request. "Hold on, hold on… let me get this straight… You want me to… your asking me to… force… her… on me…?"

He nods his head. He looks very amused. "You are to be very rough. This is punishment for her for past failures. She is to know my name and have fear at the mention of it. You shall bring about this."

"I don't see the reason or possibly of doing something like that. You say you have to punish her, I do not see this as much of a punishment. I would suggest, though, that you do find another mode of torture for me to accomplish on her."

Vamdemon stopped looking amused and stared coldly at Hakujin, gripping the edges of his throne. "Do it or you and your pathetic digimon will cease to exist! I will make sure of it!"

A slight look of shock crossed the boys face and followed it with a sly expression, only to receive a scowling look back. He really had no choice in the matter. He sighed, surrendered and asked, "So where is this dungeon room?"

* * *

Unable to fight with the danger, it being too powerful for them, the ravens have taken into fleeing. They have their pursuer close behind them…

* * *

LadyDevimon is bound once more, not just physically but emotionally as well. Vamdemon bound her and her sister once some time ago. Now she is bound again, and to add to the emotional chains, Vamdemon has taken her closest friend and is holding him as a slave also. She has been struggling with her physical restraints for hours to no avail. They were at just the right length for her to sit in the corner, but short enough to keep her from the entrance to the cell she was being kept. Before seeing her precious companion turned to the ways of evil, she was beaten and battered before being brought in to the 'operating room'. All these occurrences opened up old emotional wounds letting their fluids flow freely.

*LEMON-LIME 7-UP IS OPENED*

She sits curled up in the corner. She just finished collapsing to the floor from what she now deemed the last attempt at the chains for the day when suddenly the entrance door flew open and the light poured in her darkened cell. There is a silhouette in the doorway. She squinted her crimson eyes to see who it was. "V-Vamdemon…?"

"It is not he," came an oddly familiar voice.

"Wh-who are you?"

"That is not of your concern. What you should concern yourself with is the torture that you are about to endure." Her face went from quizzical to frightened at these words. "Or shall we say, pleasure…"

He advanced and her face dampened from fear to pure horror when the face belonging to the person approaching was hauntingly similar to her human friend. Before she could resist he summoned something that Vamdemon taught him that caused her resistance to be futile. He then proceeded to play with her silver locks as she was enticed and left vulnerable from the enthrallment he caste. He ignored Vamdemon's request and tried to be gentle. He caressed her cheek and ran his fingers along her collarbone.

"What are you doing?" she asked through her heavy breathing.

He did not answer, just continued to arouse her. He used his hand to massage her stomach and chest, massaging her and tickling there. He went below her navel and rubbed the inside of her thigh and she gasped.

S-s-stop! You can't…!"

Her pleas were muffled by a deep passionate kiss planted on her by him. She tried to pull away but realized she couldn't. His tongue then explored her mouth. After getting a satisfying taste, he then broke away from her lips and continued to kiss her neck, her cheek, her forehead, her ear and back to her mouth again. He teased her face with his tongue while he fussed with her clothing and decided the best way to work with them was to cut them off. He raised a hand and extended a set of claws from that hand from the spaces between the knuckles. He then carefully used the Dramon Destroyers to slice through the top portion of her clothing exposing one of her breasts. He then proceeded to massage, pinch and tease them with his tongue.

She attempted to disguise what sounded vaguely similar to a moan. "Kudasai… I can't… do this…"

He paid no attention. He was about to continue when a booming voice filled the room. "You there! I do not hear any cries of excruciating pain or otherwise."

It was Vamdemon. Angered by his voice, the seducer took a vicious swipe at the womon's leg. She cried out in pain. "I'm the one doing this, Vamdemon. So I'm doing it on my terms. I do not see the point of this, and I'm not about to damage her. Pleasure and pain is not to be mixed. You have a big price on your head when I'm finished here!"

Vamdemon smirked and left the doorway. May as well get this over with, he thought. He inspected the womon's leg where he took his swing. He didn't mean to injure her, it was Vamdemon's voice that angered him and caused him to lash out. Continuing with his seduction, he proceeds to run his fingers up her leg, starting at her knee. The womon continued to plead until his fingers found its way to her womonhood. A groan manages to escape from her mouth as he maneuvers his fingers. He removes his fingers and licks it, as she breathes more heavily. "Hmm… you have an intriguing taste." But all good tastes must come to an end.

He gets prepared for the final act. A few more tears of the material and he's ready.

* * *

The ravens seem to squabble and squawk at each other, possibly arguing on an escape plan. They are interrupted by the danger pouncing between them, once again separating themselves…

* * *

Vamdemon is pacing impatiently. He stops at the end of the corridor and sits on the steps leading up to the rest of his court. Then he hears what he was waiting for.

"What are you doing? No…! Stop! Don't do this… don't listen to Vamdemon! He's controlling your mind! Kudasai…! Don't…!" There is a short pause and Vamdemon realizes what just occurred. "No! You've got to stop!" Her speech was cut by her own gasp and screams. "Don't! Please don't…! Akuji-chan… please…!" As she built to climax and collapsed the extent of the shackles, the boy propped her up for round two. Feeling totally and utterly exposed, tears found their way to her eyes as anger found its way into her voice while she cried. "You're going to pay for this Vamdemon! I'LL SEE TO IT!!"

That is what Vamdemon was waiting for. Screams. The very root of fear and terror. A sinister smile crept across his face and he had pride in his work. Hakujin was now a part of the dark side. "The screams are not completely of fear, they are more of pleasure," he said to himself. "However, they are screams all the same. He has done well."

Chibi-Adrian: [snickers] Thought I was going to go farther than this didn't ya? [laughs] Drainage for you! [sticks out tongue] I haven't fully taken it to the Japanese level so you have to wait until then. ^_~

*LEMON-LIME 7-UP BOTTLE EMPTY*

* * *

Now running out of options, one raven attempts to lead the danger away from the other, not knowing when he will get back to the other…

* * *

He stands at the arrival of the new member of darkness. "You seem a bit ruffled. Was it good for you?" He was pointing at his torn shirt.

He shot Vamdemon the coldest hot scowl he could at him. "You baka! How dare you ask me such a question! If you mean if I'm proud of or enjoyed myself, you damn well know that I didn't! I told you that back in your throne room! How could you even ask me a question like that?" "Now, what do you wish of me, Lord Vamdemon?" Hakujin was boiling in his own rage against Vamdemon. He was clearly annoyed at him.

"I want you to make yourself at home. You have proven your loyalty." He starts to walk back to the throne room, Hakujin following reluctantly. When they enter the room, he breaks the news to him. "I do have some news for you. Your digimon was able to evolve to her ultimate stage during your… absence."

"Yeah…and? Where is she?" They had made their way to the outside.

"She has evolved into a LadyDevimon."

Hakujin pauses for a second, and an indignant look crosses his face. "What do you mean? What are you getting at?"

There was Vamdemon's evil grin again. You're a smart boy. Think about it. I have only met two LadyDevimons in the whole of the digital world, Piedmon's mistress and your partner. One is here… one is not. Guess whom the one who is here belongs to."

His eyes grew wide with sheer shock and horror. "Nani *?"

"Yes-s-s, yes… the digimon in that dungeon is your LadyDevimon." Hakujin balled his fists, not wanting to believe him, anger and rage replacing the shock. But with the next statement, there was no escaping the truth. "You just raped your digimon partner! Whahahahaha!" The statement echoed over and over in his mind, to forever torture him. And with that, Vamdemon disappeared into a flurry of bats and flew off into the dark of the night.

"VAMDEMON!" He yells. He extends his Dramon Destroyers in a pure feral scream and races into the night in pursuit of Vamdemon. He stops in the opens of the park, panting. "You won't know where, you won't know when, you won't know how, but you will pay for this! And you will know exactly why!" He continued to talk to himself. "You have my allegiance until you accomplish your goals, but as soon as it is done, all ties are cut. And then, my friend," he chuckled to himself, "you will, mark my words, find out what trouble is!"

"Which is why neither you or your pathetic digimon will have no account of this occurrence," he silently said to himself. "Bloody Stream!"

* * *

The fleeing raven has been consumed, turned to the evil in darkness…

* * *

LadyDevimon sat there on the floor, wet from sweat, her own fluids, and sore from other things, things she wished never happened, things that never happened before. Vamdemon has always punished and tortured her in the past, but never like this… never sexually. Having been unshackled while passed out, she curls up in the corner feeling violated, feeling… defeated.

"You have all the reason to feel defeated, LadyDevimon. Let me let you in on a little secret."

"Vamdemon!" She shot up and shot forwards towards him. He merely kicked her tumbling her backwards towards where she came from. If there was ever a time where she wished she were stronger, faster, it was now, just to wrap her hands around his throat. "I want to hear nothing coming from you!"

"Oh, but this will definitely get your attention. The boy who just had his way with you… you know him."

"What are you rambling on about? You have totally gone nuts, Vamdemon! You baka! To have me raped… that's even below your standards! But, then again, you were the one who sent me to bed with Devimon when he was still alive! Didn't think I remembered that did you? What. You think I enjoyed those 'sessions' with your former master? Well, I'm not going to sit here and play sex slave for you or your master any longer! You gave up that right when you left me to die in your crumbling palace, not that it was your right to begin with! Never again will you take advantage of me, you hear? Not me, not my sister, not my partner! Never again!"

"Before you go on a full ranting session, I would like to reveal the identity of your assailant. You were there when I was about to convert your precious companion, were you not?" She remained silent, listening. "What you didn't see is when I reformatted him into an older being. Guess who was in this cell with you?" He gave off an evil cackle that sent shivers down her spine, which is if she wasn't already shivering from the news she just received.

"Ja-ku…! You're… crazy…! It's not true… it can't be…!"

"I am not one to lie about matters like these, you should know about that by now!"

She burst into tears. "Hiretsukan *! How could you?!" was all that could come to mind. "How could you do this to me??? Ja-ku!" She raised her shaking hands and cupped them in front of her. "Puwazon *!" Nothing. "Come on…PUWAZON!"

"Give it up. You are still too weak from the beating you received earlier!"

She started bawling. "I'll never forgive you for this, Vamdemon… never! Omae wa korosu *!!"

"You won't have to. You will not remember what happened here! That is, not until you have been sent back to the digital world under reformation! Night Raid!"

* * *

The ravens partner waiting for her companion is also consumed and turned to the evils of the darkness…

Light. It, in itself, would represent beauty. But with the light must, come darkness. Darkness can also be a beautiful thing, but with the mysteries of darkness, it is well associated with the evils that occur in its beauty. Anyone who is of the dark is easily consumed by these evils. The black ravens that once flew together in the light, now do in dark evil, part in different paths, never knowing if their paths will meet ever again…

~*End Flashback*~

I have long since broken my embrace with Spritemon, deeply affected by her story. She had pretty much been crying through the whole of it, and caused me to cry when she got to the middle of the bad part. I basically had the same, if not worse, reaction than I did when Vamdemon told he what I did. Right now, I couldn't believe that I was capable of doing such a thing. I was surprised, shocked and angry that I wasn't able to resist it, or even go against Vamdemon at the time. If I was as strong as I'm told to be, then why didn't I use that to my advantage? That question continues to run through my head, as I break down in front of Spritemon. I back away from her, trying to put some distance between us, but there is no hiding from what happened. I must come to the realization that I am responsible for my actions.

"Spritemon, I…" I pause. I have absolutely no explanation for my actions, that and I have no clue what to say. "Oh, God, Spritemon… what can I possibly say? I'm so sorry… What could I possibly do to make up for the pain and grief I caused you…?" She looks at me with a tear-soaked face. "It would probably be best if you just erased me from your mind and left me here… I don't deserve to have a friend like you… you've done so much for me, and this is how I repay you… if you want to leave and put me out of your life, I totally understand, but before you leave, I want to say that it was a pleasure to have you as a friend and I wouldn't trade you for any digimon in this world, and…" I try not to break down again as I finish, "I'm going to miss you…" I then turned my back and walked off, walking a short whiles into the forest so that I sat on the shore of a lake I spotted earlier.

I continued to cry until she flew up to me. Wiping my eyes, I looked at her, who was eyeing me intently, looking a bit angry. "Shaikimitsu Hakujin! You won't get off that easy! Before you decide to push me out of your life, let me say a few things! First of all, none of this was your fault. Vamdemon had complete and total control over you!"

"But I still had some resistance to the idea…"

"That may be true, but there was no guarantee that he wouldn't kill both you and me! There was nothing you or I could do. Now, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I didn't forgive you…" She now put her paws on her hips. "Secondly, how can you just push me out of you life like that? Just because something has come between us, doesn't mean we should run from it! It took me a while to face the facts, but I did and I came back to you. That's why I ran from you when you found me the first time. I've told you once before, we're friends'… friends are always there for each other. And, if there's anyone you should be angry with, its Vamdemon, not yourself! Also, the Chosen were kind enough to take vengeance on Vamdemon for us, and now he's gone. So don't beat yourself up about it!" I look at the ground. "And finally, I will not leave you! We've been together for a long time now, and you know how it was for me when I finally met up with you… I can't just let you go like that! I care for you too much to have you carrying this weight on your shoulders… I need to tell you something…"

I look up at her. "What is it…?"

She started off slowly. "Well… when Vamdemon made you… have your way with me… and we were actually doing it…" She got a serious look on her face. "If it had been anyone else in your place, I would have found a way to kill them, chained down or not! So I kind of… allowed you to do it…"

Bewildered, I look at her. "I don't get it…"

"Akuji-can… please try to understand… I care for you too much to let something like Vamdemon's mind control come between us…"

"What are you saying…?"

"Akuji, I…" She hesitated. Sighing and closing her eyes, she came out with it. "Shaikimitsu Hakujin… I love you."

I blinked in disbelief. What?! was all that could come to my mind. "Spritemon…?"

"Akuji, I love you and I wouldn't stand with any other."

Chibi-Akuji: Wai! How was it? Interesting relationship me and my BlackTailmon have huh? ^_^; For those who read it, your welcome for not going farther in the lemon than I did. And for the others who wanted me to go farther… Drainage for You! [laughs] You have to wait for the remake. [pulls down lower eyelid, sticks out tongue] Nyeh-nyeh! [regains composure] Gomen nasai… I guess I got carried away. R & R if you want it to stay the same, or if ya want more (ya sick drunkens lol).
