Hey silver angel says he/she actually reads my notes... so cool lots of people
ignore this spot. This chapter we have Rikato stuff, also Takato... finally
remembers more. But, that doesn't mean he's going back to the gogglehead we
all know and love... yet.
Twisted Destiny
By Firehedgehog
Chapter Seven- Different Pasts
It had been a day since Takato had woken up from that vision and he knew
it was real because of the bracelet gracing his left wrist.
It left him confused; the kiss she had given him... it had made him feel
emotions he had long forgotten. After the dream he had gone to the digimon
main website, he had found out many things about Kari the dream girl... it was
very weird to meet a cartoon character.
"Hey, don't frown... its just not you," a voice said, Takato turned and
smiled. At the moment he was sitting on a chair looking outside the main
window of the apartment, the voice belonged to Yamaki who had just got home.
"Whatever," he said, Yamaki frowned at his response and sat down beside
the red eyed boy. He placed a hand on the dark garbed boy's shoulder. Takato
sighed.
"You want to talk about it Takato?" he asked, Takato sighed and looked
at his golden haired guardian.
"A girl kissed me... and I don't know how to react to it... she made me feel
things I haven't felt for years
"A kiss eh," Yamaki said with a grin, this action caused the crimson
eyes boy to blush hotly.
"Yeah," he said softly, at this moment he wished he had said nothing... at
least he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Ah young love, I remember it so well," Yamaki said, Takato then watched
with a sweatdrop as his guardian starred into space dreamily with a very
glazed look.
'Note to self, grownups are weird' he thought with a sigh, he then got
up and headed for school... hopefully his partners wouldn't get into too much
trouble while he was gone.
***
"Is Yamaki gone yet?" Veemon asked, Guilmon quietly looked out of
Takato's room and grinned.
"Yamaki is all gone," he said cheerfully, the blue dragon like digimon
grinned.
"Yeah, its time to have some fun," Veemon cheered, together the two of
them left the bedroom there eyes twinkling with the thought of fun.
"What should we do first?" Guilmon asked the smaller digimon, actually
it sounded more like 'wh.... Shuw we due furst' because he was scarfing down
cookies as he said it. [Author grins]
"I know, explore Shinjuku, but we have to make it back home before
Takato does," Veemon said and Guilmon agreed, giggling the two then snuck out
of the apartment building.
Only one person saw them, thankfully they hadn't taking their daily
medication so they thought they were just seeing things.
***
"Damn, I'm going to be late for school," Rika growled angrily, she had
slept in and she couldn't even blame it on anyone... after all she had smashed
her own alarm clock when it went off.
She was so glad the school didn't have uniforms, she had hated wearing
them in her old timeline.
The thoughts of the old timeline made her sad, it brought her memories
of a certain crimson-eyed gogglehead, someone who didn't exactly exist
anymore.
There was a new Takato now; he hated the tamers and all digimon except
Guilmon and Veemon. There had to be some cosmic joke against her, and she
didn't like it.
Before the timeline change she could talk to Takato about any problem,
with him he wouldn't blurt out her secrets to the world... and she kept her
Digimon Queen image up for everyone.
Now, Takato wouldn't give them the time of day if the worlds fate hung
on it, he would just turn his back and pretend she was nothing... she really
missed the goofy gogglehead now.
'It just isn't fair' she thought angrily tears clouding her sight, she
had been just about to tell him something... something important.
He had been the only person she had let near her heart, and now that
wasn't even true... no one in this timeline did.
Then it happened.
Rika swore as she slammed into someone and fell to the ground, she
quickly stood up and after brushing herself off turned to glare at the person
she had run into.
Red eyes so familiar to her once met her purple ones, a heart shaped
face framed by messy brown hair... all that was missing was the goggles.
"Takato," she said softly, the once gogglehead winced as he recognized
her.
"Oh great, one of the tamers," he growled, she winced... at this moment
she wanted the clumsy always smiling Takato she had loved in the original
Timeline.
"Takato... I'm sorry," she said, he glared at her and turned to walk
away.
"Wait," she called, quickly she reached forward and grabbed his left
hand not noticing the silver bracelet on it.
"Huh," he said turning, his cheeks were red not with anger but with some
other emotion. Rika found herself blushing like him, what was wrong with
her... but why did it feel so right.
"Please, hear me out," she said, he sighed and tapped his foot
impatiently.
"Be fast, I'm running late for school," he said in a bored tone of
voice. Rika gritted her teeth at his tone of voice; the Takato she remembered
would have never spoken like that to her.
"Well..." he said sharply, she blinked realizing that she hadn't said
anything for several moments.
"Takato I don't care about how you feel about the Tamers or digimon but
can we at least be civil, you have digimon and I have a digimon. I don't know
why you hate us but I won't take it, if you don't stop I'll make sure you'll
regret it," she said angrily towards him, unnoticed to her a small sad smile
came to his face.
"Really, and what kind of pain could you cause me that I didn't face in
the past," he said in a soft voice, this caused her to look at him startled...
it was almost as if he was mocking her.
"I'd make sure you wished you were never born," she growled, she didn't
care that this was Takato... it wasn't her Takato... gogglehead was gone.
"Someone tried to do that a long time ago Nonaka," Takato said and she
froze, it was the tone of voice... it reminded her of an angry Yamaki in her
original timeline when he had tried to delete all digimon.
"Wha..." she said startled at what he had said, did that mean that someone
had tried to kill him before... could this be what made him so bitter.
"Goodbye," he said turning, anger spiked up inside her and she headed
after him... anyway they both were going to the same place anyway.
"Not yet," she growled, he turned and at that moment she tripped.
Her eyes widened as she fell towards him, the next thing she noticed was
that she was on the ground but on something soft... or someone soft.
***
"Why in the world do you have romantic music playing?" the cloaked
person asked, he sweatdropped at the answer.
"Because you feel like it, riiiiight!" he said with a sigh, another
sweatdrop grew.
"I'm not even asking about the magical hearts glowing in the air above
you and why you borrowed Cupids arrows," the man sighed, it was going to one
of those days... the days when his friend was on a sugar rush.
***
Renamon could only freeze when she came upon her tamer; Rika had
forgotten her lunch so she had gone after the digimon queen lunch in her paws.
Of all things, this was not what she had expected to find.
***
Takato's eyes widened at the position he found himself in, he had just
been turning when Rika had tripped forward.
Somehow Rika had slammed into him sending both of them slamming to the
ground, with him on the bottom. This type of thing had never happened to him
before; somehow in the fall he also noticed his arms had gone around her
waist.
The liplock had something to do with it also; he was now kissing Rika...
someone he didn't like at all. Well... he hadn't liked; there was something
about kissing someone that could make you like that person.
Rika had also noticed their situation, and didn't look like she was
going to be moving any time soon.
'Wow, she's even a better kisser then Kari was in my dream' he thought,
as this kiss went on both of there faces went bright red... never mind the fact
they were enjoying this kiss.
They did stop kissing though; they stopped when a certain kitsune
digimon coughed to make them realize they weren't alone.
***
"Renamon," Rika said jumping up, she quickly got up and brushed her
clothing off... and made sure she didn't look at the red eyed boy.
"Rika," Renamon said pretending she had seen nothing, but the fox made a
mental note to tell Terriermon later... it would be good to tease her bout her
first kiss.
She held out the lunch, Rika quickly took it still blushing from the
kiss.
"Tell anyone and you die," Rika growled at Takato, Takato blinked.
"Whatever Rika," Takato said walking away towards school, at his words
Rika had to blink.
Before he had always called her Nonaka, which was her last name... this
could mean something.
"Wait, you called me by name... why?" she asked walking after him, behind
her Renamon vanished but stayed near to keep an eye on this amusing situation.
"I don't know, see you later Digimon Queen," he said, then before she
could become anymore surprised by his actions or shocked he ran ahead and
vanished into the school which was now in sight.
'Maybe my gogglehead isn't as gone as I thought' she thought with a
smile.
'And maybe I still have a chance' she thought happily.
The school late bell then rang and she groaned, looked like she would
have to continue these thoughts after detention... and making a red eyed boy pay
for making her late.
At least one thing was starting to resemble the original timeline.
***
Lunchtime was a peaceful time of day, the tamers had a silent
agreement... they wouldn't bother Takato and Takato wouldn't glare hatefully
at them in class.
He had already finished his lunch so he leaned against a tree sleepily,
soon he fell asleep... and fell into memories he had forgotten with the timeline
change.
~
He was running out of time, the others were counting on him to defeat
this digimon and free them. Each of the other tamers and their digimon were
trapped in cocoon like webs, the digimon he fought... webbermon... a stupid
sounding name but vicious as hell.
"Gallantmon be careful, he's a mega and really powerful," Sakuyamon
called from her cocoon, he nodded.
"Thanks," he called in his dual voice, he already knew that... really Rika
didn't have to tell him again. He really wished he had their help though, it
didn't feel the same fighting alone since there battle against De-reaper.
"But your never alone Takatomon," Guilmon said, it was kind of strange
talking to his partner when at the moment they were one.
"Thanks boy," he said smiling within his glowing Orb inside Gallantmon,
he only wished he could fly... a flying digimon would do good against
webbermon.
Then a memory came to him, a memory of Grani and his sacrifice... a
creature he would never forget.
"Grani, I need your help," he whispered, he had mode changed once... but
he didn't know if he could do it again without help.
"I will always be with you Takato," a voice said and Takato smiled,
looked like Grani still lived on through Guilmon and himself.
"Gallantmonmon... mode change to... Crimon Gallantmon" Gallantmon said
glowing, soon an angelic knight stood where a knight had stood moments ao.
"Your going down Webby," Gallantmon CM said in his dual voice, his
crystal like sword glowed with holy light.
"INVINCIBLE SWORD (is that the right attack?)" Gallantmon CM yelled and
struck; data filled the air as the digimon was deleted.
"Takatomon I should take his data, I don't want his bad data hurting
people," Guilmon said, Takato nodded.
Seconds later Gallantmon CM had all Webbermons data, and his friends
were free.
'My friends' Gallantmon thought as he devolved in Guilmon and Takato, he
didn't know what he'd do without them.
~
Takato woke with a start with minutes t spare before the first end lunch
bell rang; he blinked as the images of the dream came to him.
'Why does that dream seem so real, like I should know it already but
forgot' he thought frowning, he sighed and realized he didn't really
understand it.
Because of Guilmon he knew that this wasn't the original timeline,
someone had changed it for the worst for him... could those images/dream been
part of his original timeline.
'I have to find out, I barely remember anything and neither does
Guilmon, I must know' he thought, and he began to feel a void... a voice where
friendships had once been... where the other tamers friendships had been.
***
"Now we're getting somewhere, and the tamer and the destined dimension should meet up really soon too," the cloaked one said, he then begins to cheer when he hears an affirmative to that.
TBC
I'm so sorry for making you wait do long, I've been so busy and writing weekly
fics takes a lot of time. Also I had writers block for this fic. Next time on
twisted destiny, Takato talks to the tamers and a Guilmon/veemon adventure in
shinjuku.
