The Crossing
Chapter 6- Of Bullies and Rivals
"Where is that girl?" wondered Zak as he stood with the other tamers.
"Maybe she slept in. I do that all the time," said Kenta.
"She should do what I do. Wake up early and catch some Zs in class." Kazu stated.
"But then she'd fail like you are," commented Jeri.
"WHAT!? It's only been two weeks and already you're failing?" shouted Zak.
Takato sighed. "That's Kazu for you."
Henry shook his head. "And he begs me to do his homework for him."
"You're hopeless Kazu." Zak leaned against the tree behind him. He, along with the other boys, wore dark blue pants and a white shirt. It was the school uniform. It also included black dress shoes which where killing his feet. Jeri was dressed in the girl's uniform.
Henry looked at his watch. "Let's get going. The bell will ring in a minute."
"I hope Addy gets here soon," said Jeri as they entered the building.
"I know," agreed Takato. "If she doesn't hurry she's going to be--"
~~~*~~~
"LATE! I can't be late! I just can't!" shouted Addy as she ran down the sidewalk to school. "I can't believe it took me that long to find my uniform!"
It had been two weeks since school started. Last week everyone had to start wearing uniforms. Addy was a bit upset she couldn't wear her normal clothes to school but her uniform looked like the one on Sailor Moon, her favorite anime. A dark blue collar with two red lines near the edge was tied to a white blouse by a red ribbon. The dark blue skirt was longer than it looked on all the anime shows, going down halfway above her knees.
In the past week things have been relatively quiet. Josh, Kasiamon, Reelyn, and Cashmon hadn't made an appearance. The tamers only had to deal with a few rifts and digital fields.
A purple car pulled up alongside the running teen. Addy jumped when the driver honked the car horn. Curious brown eyes quickly took on recognition as she saw the driver.
"Get in, Addy. You'll be late to school."
"You're the best, Nuriko." Addy ran around the car and hopped into the passenger seat. Once she was in Nuriko drove off.
Nuriko Chika was a 17 year old that graduated her junior year. Black hair stretched down to her shoulders. Maroon colored eyes watched the road ahead. She was wearing her blue gi, so Addy guesses she was heading to work at the Cherry Hill Temple. (1)
Nuriko parked in front of the school.
"Thank you so much, 'Riko!" said Addy.
"No prob. You can pay me back by helping me at the temple."
"But I already help you at the temple."
"Then it won't be a problem. Now off to class with ya."
Addy eeped when the warning bell rang and off she ran, into the building. Nuriko smiled at the girl's antics before driving away.
~~~~~*~~~~~
Jamie Caragher, JC to his friends, walked the halls of Hana High (2), his new school. He had just left the office. He combed a hand through short spiked light brown hair as green eyes sought out his classroom.
A girl came running down the hall around a corner. The girl was looking at her watch, not paying attention. Before JC could move out of the way the girl ran into him. JC had managed to brace himself and caught the girl before she could fall.
"I'm so sorry. I'm going to be late to class. Got to go. Sorry," the girl said in a rush. Brown eyes stared at him from behind glasses for a moment before she took off again. JC watched her run down the hall and turn a corner until the tip of her long dark brown hair vanished.
"Okay.. That girl was fast," said JC before continuing on his way.
~~~~~*~~~~~
Addy slid into the classroom and into her seat next to Zak, panting, just when the bell rang.
"Just in time. Sleep in?" teased Zak.
"Shut...up.." panted Addy. Her head lay on her desk. She felt so weak. "I couldn't.find my.uniform."
The teacher, Ms Haruna walked in the classroom a minute later.
"Good morning, class," she greeted.
"Good Morning, Ms. H," the class chorused, with the exception of Addy.
"We have a new student today. I'd like you all to welcome Jamie Caragher."
Addy lazily moved her eyes to see the new victim of class 10-D. She gasped at who she saw. "Great," she muttered.
"What?" Zak asked in a low whisper.
"That's the boy I ran into on my way to class. Literally."
Zak smiled. "Are all Americans as clumsy as you? He's the, what, fourth person you've run into so far. OW!" Zak held his head where Addy had whacked him with her Lit. book.
"Quiet you!"
"Jamie, tell us about yourself," said Ms. H, seeming to not notice the two tamers in the right middle rows.
"Well, I prefer to be called JC. I moved from Britain and I play the guitar."
Zak whispered to Addy, "Looks like Mr. Musician has a fan club." He gestured to a group of girls sitting in the left side of the classroom. Addy leaned past Zak to see them with a dreamy eyed look. Curious as to why they where dazed she turned to the new kid. She guessed he stood 5ft 10 in. He had an athletic build, green eyes, and light spiked hair. Since today was his first day, he didn't have to wear a uniform. He was dressed in black pants and had on black trainer shoes. His white shirt was un-tucked and the top two buttons were undone. A ring on his right hand glowed under the lights.
"I guess he's kinda cute."
Zak was stunned. Addy thought the new kid was cute!? She never called him cute! What if she started to like JC!?
"He kinda reminds me of you," continued Addy. "Cute but not the I-fantasize- to-be-married-to-him cute.
Zak sighed. She thought he was cute too. And she didn't like JC, yet anyway.
Ms. H looked around the room. "JC, you can sit.," Zak watched as the fan club girls moved their stuff from an empty seat in their area. ".there. Next to Addy." Addy groaned as she moved her backpack from the desk next to her. Once JC was seated Ms. H called roll. "Ok, class. Get in your groups. We created characters so now start writing a story. JC, you can team up with Zak and Addy. They'll tell you what to do. The classroom became noisy as desks were moved and students chatted.
"So, what are we doing?" JC asked.
"Like Ms. H said, we created characters last week. Now we're going to put them together in a story. My character is Kaisien Buratsu. He's a demon hybrid." Zak pulled out two pieces of paper from his backpack. One had the info of his character, the other was a picture.
"I created Neneko Tenkou. She's a cat hybrid." Addy held up a drawing that looked almost professional.
"Wow! That's good Addy," commented Zak.
"Thanks. JC, you can use my other character if you want. I had created him first but then I thought of Neneko." She held up another drawing. It was a blue dragon hybrid. "This is Kaiyo Tenkou. I know, same last name as Neko but I like how it sounds." She handed JC the drawing.
"I'll use Kaiyo for my character. That way we aren't behind." And I won't have to do a lot of work. Suits me just fine.
"I have an idea. Kaiyo could've found Neko alone and took care of her so they're like brother and sister."
"Works for me," said JC.
"Yeah," agreed Zak. "And then they met Kaisien." And so they began their assignment.
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
Impmon smiled devilishly as he jumped along the rooftops carrying a letter. He jumped down to the front of a house and looked at the nameplate next to the door.
Mizuno.
He jumped up and dropped the letter into the mailbox under the nameplate.
"This will teach him. I'm such a genius." The virus digimon walked away, feeling proud of himself.
Kitleymon, who had silently watched the scene from her perch on the wall surrounding the house flew over to the mailbox and took out the letter. It was just a simple white envelope. On the seal was a heart sticker. She had a feeling she knew what it was. She had watched enough anime with Addy to know it was a love letter. She noticed that the address on the front was a little sloppy, like someone- as in a certain digimon- was trying to forge someone else's handwriting. Using her claws, she opened the envelope and began to read the letter.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Takato looked up from his anime magazine when he saw Zak and Addy approach them for lunch. He waved to them.
"Hey guys," greeted Zak as he sat down.
"Hi." Addy sat down next to the red head. She dug through her backpack for a moment before pulling out a sandwich bag stuffed with cookies. "Konichiwa, Relaina. Catch." She tossed the bag high into the branches of the tree.
"Why'd you do that?" whined Kazu. He had really wanted some of Addy's cookies. His mothers couldn't match hers.
"Don't worry. I have more." She pulled out a square Tupperware container from her large shoulder bag she had brought with her today. The lid was pulled off to reveal a ton of chocolate chip cookies. At once everyone- with the exception of Addy- took some cookies.
Riley too was munching on the cookies. She had easily caught the bag when Addy threw it up. What the girl was thinking, Riley didn't know. Riley didn't even like the American but the girl gave her cookies. Riley didn't care really. It was her loss. Plus these were kinda good.
Since she had become a tamer, she had been spending time near the others so she could become a better tamer. If only Tanoamon would listen and attack the others..
"Hey, that's mine!" came a cry. The tamers turned to see a freshmen being bullied by a group of upperclassmen.
"Man, Yuskue and his gang are at it again," said Zak. "You guys better watch out. Yuskue and his gang love to pick on younger kids."
"Great. If it wasn't as if we had enough problems," sighed Henry.
"Rifts, fields, Josh, Kasiamon, Reelyn, and Cashmon, and now this," sighed Takato.
"Then let's eliminate a problem. You're coming with me." Addy pulled Zak up to stand, causing him to drop his cookie. "You guys stay here." Addy dragged Zak with her as they headed toward Yuskue and his gang.
Riley looked on from her perch. This will be interesting, she thought.
JC looked up from his guitar and over the heads of his audience, which were mostly girls. Sitting in a table helped. He saw a group of boys picking on an underclassman. Being one who didn't like bullies, he politely excused himself and asked a girl to hold his guitar. She looked like she would burst with joy.
Making his way over to the group, JC noticed Addy and Zak walking towards them also. Well, Addy was pretty much dragging Zak. Were they going tot confront these guys? They had to be kidding. Zak could probably take on one or two but he'd need help. And Addy didn't look like a fighter.
"Hold it, Yuskue! Haven't you ever heard it's not nice to bully people?" said Addy, catching the gangs attention. Both Zak and JC were thinking the same thing. _That_ was her opening line?
Addy stood in front of the boy now. He was a few inches taller than her and his black hair was greased back. Black eyes ran over her and Zak, who hung back behind the American. He smirked, coming to the conclusion that they weren't a threat.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said sarcastically. "We'll be good. Just please don't hurt us." He and his companions laughed.
A blue haired boy with a scar on his cheek tossed the kid they were bullying towards them. His hair was a mess. He smiled as Addy pushed the fresh-meat behind her.
Zak gulped as the other two boys stood behind them. This was just great. These guys were unbeatable. How were they going to get out of this alive? Sometimes he hated Addy's big heart.
"Uh.Addy," Zak said quietly.
But Addy heard him. She had also noticed when the others positioned themselves to trap them. She smiled to herself. It was amazing how she could guess that they would do that just because of all the anime she watched.
"You know Yuskue," said Addy, "I'm pretty new here. I just heard of you today. Could you introduce your friends?"
Yuskue smirked. This girl was crazy! "Sure. Boys."
"Kale," said the blue haired boy.
"Sekmet," responded the tallest of the group. His green hair was sprayed to hover above his head and his blue eyes held a crazy look to them.
"Dais." He was the shoulder-length white haired teen. A back eye patch covered his right eye, his other a pale blue.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Adhara and this is my friend Azaki."
"Nice to meet you she says!" laughed Yuskue.
"Either she is very polite or she has a plan," said a voice. Everyone turned and saw JC. "Well?" JC was looking at Addy who smiled innocently.
"A plan, and now that you're finally here let's teach these goons a lesson."
The gang broke into laughter again.
Kale walked over to Addy and draped his arm around her shoulders. The boy behind her backed away a bit. Zak stepped forward. How dare that jerk touch his Addy! "Listen, babe, I'm sure you think that you can beat us but this isn't like a cartoon. (Ag- so much he knows) Why not go and bake some cakes or something?"
"Let me think. NO!" Addy kicked Kale in the shin.
"OW!" Kale cried in pain. Addy pushed the freshman out of the area as the fight began. It was happening to fast. A few punches and kicks were exchanged. Addy gave a few kicks and punches of her own. And her parents said you couldn't learn anything from anime.
"YUSKE URAMISHI!" came the yell. The fighters paused and turned to see a girl with short light brown hair glaring daggers at the gang leader. Yuskue gulped.
"Keiko," he said nervously.
"Yuskue! What have I told you about fighting!?"
"Um..I forgot.."
"Then let me teach you again." Keiko walked up to Yuskue and grabbed his ear.
"Hey, watch it! That hurts, Keiko!"
"Good. You're coming with me." Keiko dragged Yuskue away by the ear.
Zak laughed. "You're leader's whipped by a girl!"
Addy turned and glared at the red-head. "Watch it, bub."
"Hehe. Sorry. No offense."
"You better beat it. Teachers are coming," said JC. "And don't let us catch you bullying other kids again." The gang considered the advice before running away. JC turned to the two tamers. "You're a good fighter, Azaki. And you're not too bad yourself, Addy."
Zak crossed his arms. "You were okay too."
"Ditto!" replied Addy. "Thanks for the help, Casanova."
The boys blinked. "Casanova?"
"JC's nickname. He's the Casanova of Hana High. (3) Creative, no? Anyways, we'll see you in class."
The three parted. When Zak and Addy returned to the tamers, they were shocked. Their eyes were wide and their mouths where open. "Close your mouths before you catch flies," scolded Addy.
"That was amazing!" exclaimed Kazu and Kenta.
"It was nothing. Just Kitleymon's ability to fight."
"What?" asked Takato.
"Didn't I tell you? This is one of the D-Gauntlet's abilities. Once you have one you gain the fighting power of your digimon. I could've broken a few bones if I wanted too."
"You mean that I'm stronger then I would normally be? All because of Impmon? Cool."
"I get it," said Henry. "It's not like us when we are linked with our digimon and can feel their pain. You share strength not only in battle, but in everyday life."
"That's it." The bell rang just then. The group parted to their classes.
Riley jumped down from the tree. She puzzled over what Addy had said. She walked over to the school wall and punched it. Nothing happened. Riley growled in anger as she walked to class. Unknown to her, a crack began to crawl across the wall.
~*~
JC stood before his locker, turning the dial. He was greeted by a glove when he opened it. How could a glove get in his locker? He pulled it out and examined it. It was gray with a screen like device sewn into it. He wondered what it was. Unknown to his, a certain pair of brown eyes saw the glove from their spot down the hall.
~~*~~
"JC, wait up!" called Addy after school as she ran up to him.
JC turned. "Oh, hi Addy."
"Hey, Casanova. Thanks again for helping us earlier."
"Addy!" called Zak as he cane to a running stop behind the girl. "Why is it every time I turn around your gone?" He looked and saw JC. It's him.
"I just wanted to talk to JC."
Zak felt like he was falling. WHAT?! She just wanted to talk to JC and didn't even wait for him? He started to glare JC.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" JC didn't notice the cold stare.
"I wanted to ask about this." Addy slung her backpack around and pulled out her D-Gauntlet. "I believe I saw you take something like this out of your locker."
Zak gasped. Please don't let him be a tamer. He prayed.
Stunned, JC pulled out a gray d-gauntlet.
Just great. Zak sighed.
Addy smiled. "You are now a digimon tamer! Welcome to the club. Zak, myself, and a few of are friends are tamers. Tomorrow we'll give you the low down. First. We must find your digimon." JC's D-G (4) went off. "And here it comes now." A fog rolled over them. Zak pulled his goggles over his eyes. Once they could see clearly again, they were greeted with the sight of a brown bear cub digimon. That's what it was. There was no other way to describe it. "Hold your D-G to it."
JC did as asked. A screen popped up. "Cayramon. Rookie level. This cub's attack is Carya Fang. A fang like spike shoots from its mouth piercing anything in its path."
Caryamon turned to them and smiled. "Hi! I'm Caryamon." Caryamon walked up to JC and sniffed him.
"Uh.. What's it doing?" wondered JC.
Caryamon stood. "You're my partner!" he declared.
"We'll leave you guys for some bonding time. Bye." Addy waved and walked away with Zak.
"Ok. I thought living in Japan would be strange, but this is ridiculous."
~~~*~~~
Jen sat in her Chemistry class not paying attention to the teacher. She was too busy writing down her notes on the tamers.
Okay. We got Ryo and Rika who are well known card players. Takato, Jeri, Henry, Kazu, and Kenta go to Hana High. All unknowns. Azaki goes to Hana High and lost to Rika at the Tournament; nicknamed the Digimon Prince. For Addy, Relaina, and Mila I don't know anything other than two go to Hana and one to Juuban. This tells me nothing on how to become a tamer. Jen sighed.
"Ms Zircona! What is the answer?" demanded Mr. Copper.
Jen jumped. "Uh. what was the question?"
"Ms. Zircona, that was the sixth time today you spaced in my class. You have detention," said Mr. Copper before turning to a student who was paying attention.
Jen sighed as she leaned back in her seat. Great. Now how I'm I gonna get a digimon?
~~~*~~~
Charlotte Casey Ichiro stood on a hill next to Aimon. Shoulder length blue hair was pulled back into a ponytail, golden streaks mixed in. Purple eyes watched as an army of digimon battled with the natives of this world. She was dressed in a black tang-top with a gelini (gummi bear) devil on the front and "Be Bad, It's Good For You" on the back. A red dragon was on the bottom back of her right black jean pant leg. A doll rolled in front of black and white Nikes.
Charlie bent down and picked it up. "Aimon, I keep wondering why I'm doing this." She turned to a girl the same height as her, a mask covering her face. A blue teardrop was imbedded in the forehead. The beast girl digimon wore a light blue dress which had a slit on the right. A light blue shirt was also decorated with a teardrop. Long white hair swayed as she turned to look at her companion.
"Charlie.."
"I know," sighed Charlie. "I wanted to do this. I have to protect Ree. And I have to do it without Daemon knowing. Ree had always looked after me, even if from a distance. Then mom and dad started ignoring her. She hates me for it. I have to make it up to her."
"Come on," said Aimon. "Let's see if we can get these guys to surrender."
"What good will it be? This world will be destroyed anyway."
"But we could at least stop the bloodshed."
Charlie was silent for a moment. "Let's go." The two walked down the hill towards the battle. The doll was still clutched in the human girl's hand.
1- I couldn't think of a name. Don't own.
2- Don't own. 'Tis the school of the Ronins.
3- Sage- That's my title! Ag- Shut up! Be glad the warlords were humiliated earlier.
4- D-Gauntlet. I got tried of writing the whole thing.
Daemon? What's he doing here? And why does he want to destroy worlds? What is this virus planning? And Charlie wishes to protect her older sister. Does that mean Reelyn isn't as bad as she seems?
Next Time: Sides Assembled, Game Start!- Jen has a run in with Addy. She confronts the American and demands to know how to become a tamer. The gang goes to the Cherry Hill Temple and met Nuriko. Beelzemon meets them and tells them to go to the digital world. They go; Jen also, weather the others like it or not. They met the digi gods and learn of their new mission; to enter the rifts and seal them shut. It seems that the DGs have that power. Let's jump some rifts!
Ag- That's it for this chapter. Sorry not a lot of action. We're getting there though. I like how I ended it. And does anyone want to know who won the Twisited Metal battle last chapter? It was a tie. How you can get a tie in TM, I have not idea. Me and my sister have tried before and it never worked. I also have an announcement to make. I have a new muse and I don't have to pay him! I figured since he's in all my rants then I'll make him a muse. Congrads Ly!
Ly- Thanks. I think.
Ag- You always give me ideas and motivate me. Plus I love to torment you in our chats. For example. *uses chibi camera. Ly turns into a chibi.*
Addy- *runs in* Chibi!
Ag- I feel like glomping some people. Rath! I know where there's a demon! *leaves*
Chibi Ly- Rath is a character from some manga called Dragon Knights. *takes chibi remote (Ly's invention) and returns to normal. Addy pouts (C. Addy- I wanna glomp some chibis!)* Zak! Come get your girlfriend! *leaves*
P.S. I didn't do a bloopers reel cause I'd have to think of some and I knew you guys wanted to read this. Besides, I couldn't think of any good bloopers for this chap.
Fanfic review
Pain, Joy, Life by cousin D
Do you like Ronin Warriors? Do you like before the war fics? Then this is for you! I love this story. Ryo is a teenage boy living on the street with his grandma. He goes to school and meets the other warriors. Seiji (Sage) is a witch and an outcast. Xiu (Kento), his boyfriend, lives at a restaurant. Shin (Cye) lives with his mothers, Jap and English (or British). Touma (Rowen) lives with an abusive dad. These four try their hardest to help their new stubborn friend. But nothing seems to be going right for the street urchin. His grandma is ill, the shelter is closed, and the man that he fears is after him again. But there is a voice that brings comfort to him. A voice inside begs to cause destruction. The voice is of the fire inside of Ryo. What is with this cursed fire? And will Ryo's life ever get better? This fic keeps you on your feet. Be glad this it completed. Though I can't say that for pt 2.
Twilight Sky is the second book to cousin D's story. It continues where the first left off except the first few chapters focus on the warlords. Anubis (Kale) is a half vampire. Sh'ten (Anubis) the sadistic leader. Not much is revealed about Naza's (Sekmet) and Rajira's (Dais) personalities or pasts. Anyway, Anubis goes to the human world to look for food. He spots a tasty (he's a vamp, remember?) and attractive mortal. After saving him from being raped (well, kinda), he takes a taste of his blood..
"Like lava in my veins, he IS fire and he burned me!" -Anubis ch 2
"He was so beautiful. I want him, Sh'ten. I want that beautiful firefly" - Anubis ch 2
Then the story jumps back to our fav boys in armor. But with all the secrets around, what will stop them from being discovered? Like will Xiu's parents discover he's gay and dating Seiji? Will Touma be charged for attacking his own father? Will Ryo's power over fire be found out? How was Shin able to put his arm in boiling hot water and not be burned? And what about the voice Seiji is starting to hear? Please read this and review. Maybe it'll make her write faster.

The Crossing
Chapter 6- Of Bullies and Rivals
"Where is that girl?" wondered Zak as he stood with the other tamers.
"Maybe she slept in. I do that all the time," said Kenta.
"She should do what I do. Wake up early and catch some Zs in class." Kazu stated.
"But then she'd fail like you are," commented Jeri.
"WHAT!? It's only been two weeks and already you're failing?" shouted Zak.
Takato sighed. "That's Kazu for you."
Henry shook his head. "And he begs me to do his homework for him."
"You're hopeless Kazu." Zak leaned against the tree behind him. He, along with the other boys, wore dark blue pants and a white shirt. It was the school uniform. It also included black dress shoes which where killing his feet. Jeri was dressed in the girl's uniform.
Henry looked at his watch. "Let's get going. The bell will ring in a minute."
"I hope Addy gets here soon," said Jeri as they entered the building.
"I know," agreed Takato. "If she doesn't hurry she's going to be--"
~~~*~~~
"LATE! I can't be late! I just can't!" shouted Addy as she ran down the sidewalk to school. "I can't believe it took me that long to find my uniform!"
It had been two weeks since school started. Last week everyone had to start wearing uniforms. Addy was a bit upset she couldn't wear her normal clothes to school but her uniform looked like the one on Sailor Moon, her favorite anime. A dark blue collar with two red lines near the edge was tied to a white blouse by a red ribbon. The dark blue skirt was longer than it looked on all the anime shows, going down halfway above her knees.
In the past week things have been relatively quiet. Josh, Kasiamon, Reelyn, and Cashmon hadn't made an appearance. The tamers only had to deal with a few rifts and digital fields.
A purple car pulled up alongside the running teen. Addy jumped when the driver honked the car horn. Curious brown eyes quickly took on recognition as she saw the driver.
"Get in, Addy. You'll be late to school."
"You're the best, Nuriko." Addy ran around the car and hopped into the passenger seat. Once she was in Nuriko drove off.
Nuriko Chika was a 17 year old that graduated her junior year. Black hair stretched down to her shoulders. Maroon colored eyes watched the road ahead. She was wearing her blue gi, so Addy guesses she was heading to work at the Cherry Hill Temple. (1)
Nuriko parked in front of the school.
"Thank you so much, 'Riko!" said Addy.
"No prob. You can pay me back by helping me at the temple."
"But I already help you at the temple."
"Then it won't be a problem. Now off to class with ya."
Addy eeped when the warning bell rang and off she ran, into the building. Nuriko smiled at the girl's antics before driving away.

Jamie Caragher, JC to his friends, walked the halls of Hana High (2), his new school. He had just left the office. He combed a hand through short spiked light brown hair as green eyes sought out his classroom.
A girl came running down the hall around a corner. The girl was looking at her watch, not paying attention. Before JC could move out of the way the girl ran into him. JC had managed to brace himself and caught the girl before she could fall.
"I'm so sorry. I'm going to be late to class. Got to go. Sorry," the girl said in a rush. Brown eyes stared at him from behind glasses for a moment before she took off again. JC watched her run down the hall and turn a corner until the tip of her long dark brown hair vanished.
"Okay.. That girl was fast," said JC before continuing on his way.
~~~~~*~~~~~
Addy slid into the classroom and into her seat next to Zak, panting, just when the bell rang.
"Just in time. Sleep in?" teased Zak.
"Shut...up.." panted Addy. Her head lay on her desk. She felt so weak. "I couldn't.find my.uniform."
The teacher, Ms Haruna walked in the classroom a minute later.
"Good morning, class," she greeted.
"Good Morning, Ms. H," the class chorused, with the exception of Addy.
"We have a new student today. I'd like you all to welcome Jamie Caragher."
Addy lazily moved her eyes to see the new victim of class 10-D. She gasped at who she saw. "Great," she muttered.
"What?" Zak asked in a low whisper.
"That's the boy I ran into on my way to class. Literally."
Zak smiled. "Are all Americans as clumsy as you? He's the, what, fourth person you've run into so far. OW!" Zak held his head where Addy had whacked him with her Lit. book.
"Quiet you!"
"Jamie, tell us about yourself," said Ms. H, seeming to not notice the two tamers in the right middle rows.
"Well, I prefer to be called JC. I moved from Britain and I play the guitar."
Zak whispered to Addy, "Looks like Mr. Musician has a fan club." He gestured to a group of girls sitting in the left side of the classroom. Addy leaned past Zak to see them with a dreamy eyed look. Curious as to why they where dazed she turned to the new kid. She guessed he stood 5ft 10 in. He had an athletic build, green eyes, and light spiked hair. Since today was his first day, he didn't have to wear a uniform. He was dressed in black pants and had on black trainer shoes. His white shirt was un-tucked and the top two buttons were undone. A ring on his right hand glowed under the lights.
"I guess he's kinda cute."
Zak was stunned. Addy thought the new kid was cute!? She never called him cute! What if she started to like JC!?
"He kinda reminds me of you," continued Addy. "Cute but not the I-fantasize- to-be-married-to-him cute.
Zak sighed. She thought he was cute too. And she didn't like JC, yet anyway.
Ms. H looked around the room. "JC, you can sit.," Zak watched as the fan club girls moved their stuff from an empty seat in their area. ".there. Next to Addy." Addy groaned as she moved her backpack from the desk next to her. Once JC was seated Ms. H called roll. "Ok, class. Get in your groups. We created characters so now start writing a story. JC, you can team up with Zak and Addy. They'll tell you what to do. The classroom became noisy as desks were moved and students chatted.
"So, what are we doing?" JC asked.
"Like Ms. H said, we created characters last week. Now we're going to put them together in a story. My character is Kaisien Buratsu. He's a demon hybrid." Zak pulled out two pieces of paper from his backpack. One had the info of his character, the other was a picture.
"I created Neneko Tenkou. She's a cat hybrid." Addy held up a drawing that looked almost professional.
"Wow! That's good Addy," commented Zak.
"Thanks. JC, you can use my other character if you want. I had created him first but then I thought of Neneko." She held up another drawing. It was a blue dragon hybrid. "This is Kaiyo Tenkou. I know, same last name as Neko but I like how it sounds." She handed JC the drawing.
"I'll use Kaiyo for my character. That way we aren't behind." And I won't have to do a lot of work. Suits me just fine.
"I have an idea. Kaiyo could've found Neko alone and took care of her so they're like brother and sister."
"Works for me," said JC.
"Yeah," agreed Zak. "And then they met Kaisien." And so they began their assignment.
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
Impmon smiled devilishly as he jumped along the rooftops carrying a letter. He jumped down to the front of a house and looked at the nameplate next to the door.
Mizuno.
He jumped up and dropped the letter into the mailbox under the nameplate.
"This will teach him. I'm such a genius." The virus digimon walked away, feeling proud of himself.
Kitleymon, who had silently watched the scene from her perch on the wall surrounding the house flew over to the mailbox and took out the letter. It was just a simple white envelope. On the seal was a heart sticker. She had a feeling she knew what it was. She had watched enough anime with Addy to know it was a love letter. She noticed that the address on the front was a little sloppy, like someone- as in a certain digimon- was trying to forge someone else's handwriting. Using her claws, she opened the envelope and began to read the letter.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Takato looked up from his anime magazine when he saw Zak and Addy approach them for lunch. He waved to them.
"Hey guys," greeted Zak as he sat down.
"Hi." Addy sat down next to the red head. She dug through her backpack for a moment before pulling out a sandwich bag stuffed with cookies. "Konichiwa, Relaina. Catch." She tossed the bag high into the branches of the tree.
"Why'd you do that?" whined Kazu. He had really wanted some of Addy's cookies. His mothers couldn't match hers.
"Don't worry. I have more." She pulled out a square Tupperware container from her large shoulder bag she had brought with her today. The lid was pulled off to reveal a ton of chocolate chip cookies. At once everyone- with the exception of Addy- took some cookies.
Riley too was munching on the cookies. She had easily caught the bag when Addy threw it up. What the girl was thinking, Riley didn't know. Riley didn't even like the American but the girl gave her cookies. Riley didn't care really. It was her loss. Plus these were kinda good.
Since she had become a tamer, she had been spending time near the others so she could become a better tamer. If only Tanoamon would listen and attack the others..
"Hey, that's mine!" came a cry. The tamers turned to see a freshmen being bullied by a group of upperclassmen.
"Man, Yuskue and his gang are at it again," said Zak. "You guys better watch out. Yuskue and his gang love to pick on younger kids."
"Great. If it wasn't as if we had enough problems," sighed Henry.
"Rifts, fields, Josh, Kasiamon, Reelyn, and Cashmon, and now this," sighed Takato.
"Then let's eliminate a problem. You're coming with me." Addy pulled Zak up to stand, causing him to drop his cookie. "You guys stay here." Addy dragged Zak with her as they headed toward Yuskue and his gang.
Riley looked on from her perch. This will be interesting, she thought.
JC looked up from his guitar and over the heads of his audience, which were mostly girls. Sitting in a table helped. He saw a group of boys picking on an underclassman. Being one who didn't like bullies, he politely excused himself and asked a girl to hold his guitar. She looked like she would burst with joy.
Making his way over to the group, JC noticed Addy and Zak walking towards them also. Well, Addy was pretty much dragging Zak. Were they going tot confront these guys? They had to be kidding. Zak could probably take on one or two but he'd need help. And Addy didn't look like a fighter.
"Hold it, Yuskue! Haven't you ever heard it's not nice to bully people?" said Addy, catching the gangs attention. Both Zak and JC were thinking the same thing. _That_ was her opening line?
Addy stood in front of the boy now. He was a few inches taller than her and his black hair was greased back. Black eyes ran over her and Zak, who hung back behind the American. He smirked, coming to the conclusion that they weren't a threat.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said sarcastically. "We'll be good. Just please don't hurt us." He and his companions laughed.
A blue haired boy with a scar on his cheek tossed the kid they were bullying towards them. His hair was a mess. He smiled as Addy pushed the fresh-meat behind her.
Zak gulped as the other two boys stood behind them. This was just great. These guys were unbeatable. How were they going to get out of this alive? Sometimes he hated Addy's big heart.
"Uh.Addy," Zak said quietly.
But Addy heard him. She had also noticed when the others positioned themselves to trap them. She smiled to herself. It was amazing how she could guess that they would do that just because of all the anime she watched.
"You know Yuskue," said Addy, "I'm pretty new here. I just heard of you today. Could you introduce your friends?"
Yuskue smirked. This girl was crazy! "Sure. Boys."
"Kale," said the blue haired boy.
"Sekmet," responded the tallest of the group. His green hair was sprayed to hover above his head and his blue eyes held a crazy look to them.
"Dais." He was the shoulder-length white haired teen. A back eye patch covered his right eye, his other a pale blue.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Adhara and this is my friend Azaki."
"Nice to meet you she says!" laughed Yuskue.
"Either she is very polite or she has a plan," said a voice. Everyone turned and saw JC. "Well?" JC was looking at Addy who smiled innocently.
"A plan, and now that you're finally here let's teach these goons a lesson."
The gang broke into laughter again.
Kale walked over to Addy and draped his arm around her shoulders. The boy behind her backed away a bit. Zak stepped forward. How dare that jerk touch his Addy! "Listen, babe, I'm sure you think that you can beat us but this isn't like a cartoon. (Ag- so much he knows) Why not go and bake some cakes or something?"
"Let me think. NO!" Addy kicked Kale in the shin.
"OW!" Kale cried in pain. Addy pushed the freshman out of the area as the fight began. It was happening to fast. A few punches and kicks were exchanged. Addy gave a few kicks and punches of her own. And her parents said you couldn't learn anything from anime.
"YUSKE URAMISHI!" came the yell. The fighters paused and turned to see a girl with short light brown hair glaring daggers at the gang leader. Yuskue gulped.
"Keiko," he said nervously.
"Yuskue! What have I told you about fighting!?"
"Um..I forgot.."
"Then let me teach you again." Keiko walked up to Yuskue and grabbed his ear.
"Hey, watch it! That hurts, Keiko!"
"Good. You're coming with me." Keiko dragged Yuskue away by the ear.
Zak laughed. "You're leader's whipped by a girl!"
Addy turned and glared at the red-head. "Watch it, bub."
"Hehe. Sorry. No offense."
"You better beat it. Teachers are coming," said JC. "And don't let us catch you bullying other kids again." The gang considered the advice before running away. JC turned to the two tamers. "You're a good fighter, Azaki. And you're not too bad yourself, Addy."
Zak crossed his arms. "You were okay too."
"Ditto!" replied Addy. "Thanks for the help, Casanova."
The boys blinked. "Casanova?"
"JC's nickname. He's the Casanova of Hana High. (3) Creative, no? Anyways, we'll see you in class."
The three parted. When Zak and Addy returned to the tamers, they were shocked. Their eyes were wide and their mouths where open. "Close your mouths before you catch flies," scolded Addy.
"That was amazing!" exclaimed Kazu and Kenta.
"It was nothing. Just Kitleymon's ability to fight."
"What?" asked Takato.
"Didn't I tell you? This is one of the D-Gauntlet's abilities. Once you have one you gain the fighting power of your digimon. I could've broken a few bones if I wanted too."
"You mean that I'm stronger then I would normally be? All because of Impmon? Cool."
"I get it," said Henry. "It's not like us when we are linked with our digimon and can feel their pain. You share strength not only in battle, but in everyday life."
"That's it." The bell rang just then. The group parted to their classes.
Riley jumped down from the tree. She puzzled over what Addy had said. She walked over to the school wall and punched it. Nothing happened. Riley growled in anger as she walked to class. Unknown to her, a crack began to crawl across the wall.
~*~
JC stood before his locker, turning the dial. He was greeted by a glove when he opened it. How could a glove get in his locker? He pulled it out and examined it. It was gray with a screen like device sewn into it. He wondered what it was. Unknown to his, a certain pair of brown eyes saw the glove from their spot down the hall.
~~*~~
"JC, wait up!" called Addy after school as she ran up to him.
JC turned. "Oh, hi Addy."
"Hey, Casanova. Thanks again for helping us earlier."
"Addy!" called Zak as he cane to a running stop behind the girl. "Why is it every time I turn around your gone?" He looked and saw JC. It's him.
"I just wanted to talk to JC."
Zak felt like he was falling. WHAT?! She just wanted to talk to JC and didn't even wait for him? He started to glare JC.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" JC didn't notice the cold stare.
"I wanted to ask about this." Addy slung her backpack around and pulled out her D-Gauntlet. "I believe I saw you take something like this out of your locker."
Zak gasped. Please don't let him be a tamer. He prayed.
Stunned, JC pulled out a gray d-gauntlet.
Just great. Zak sighed.
Addy smiled. "You are now a digimon tamer! Welcome to the club. Zak, myself, and a few of are friends are tamers. Tomorrow we'll give you the low down. First. We must find your digimon." JC's D-G (4) went off. "And here it comes now." A fog rolled over them. Zak pulled his goggles over his eyes. Once they could see clearly again, they were greeted with the sight of a brown bear cub digimon. That's what it was. There was no other way to describe it. "Hold your D-G to it."
JC did as asked. A screen popped up. "Cayramon. Rookie level. This cub's attack is Carya Fang. A fang like spike shoots from its mouth piercing anything in its path."
Caryamon turned to them and smiled. "Hi! I'm Caryamon." Caryamon walked up to JC and sniffed him.
"Uh.. What's it doing?" wondered JC.
Caryamon stood. "You're my partner!" he declared.
"We'll leave you guys for some bonding time. Bye." Addy waved and walked away with Zak.
"Ok. I thought living in Japan would be strange, but this is ridiculous."
~~~*~~~
Jen sat in her Chemistry class not paying attention to the teacher. She was too busy writing down her notes on the tamers.
Okay. We got Ryo and Rika who are well known card players. Takato, Jeri, Henry, Kazu, and Kenta go to Hana High. All unknowns. Azaki goes to Hana High and lost to Rika at the Tournament; nicknamed the Digimon Prince. For Addy, Relaina, and Mila I don't know anything other than two go to Hana and one to Juuban. This tells me nothing on how to become a tamer. Jen sighed.
"Ms Zircona! What is the answer?" demanded Mr. Copper.
Jen jumped. "Uh. what was the question?"
"Ms. Zircona, that was the sixth time today you spaced in my class. You have detention," said Mr. Copper before turning to a student who was paying attention.
Jen sighed as she leaned back in her seat. Great. Now how I'm I gonna get a digimon?
~~~*~~~
Charlotte Casey Ichiro stood on a hill next to Aimon. Shoulder length blue hair was pulled back into a ponytail, golden streaks mixed in. Purple eyes watched as an army of digimon battled with the natives of this world. She was dressed in a black tang-top with a gelini (gummi bear) devil on the front and "Be Bad, It's Good For You" on the back. A red dragon was on the bottom back of her right black jean pant leg. A doll rolled in front of black and white Nikes.
Charlie bent down and picked it up. "Aimon, I keep wondering why I'm doing this." She turned to a girl the same height as her, a mask covering her face. A blue teardrop was imbedded in the forehead. The beast girl digimon wore a light blue dress which had a slit on the right. A light blue shirt was also decorated with a teardrop. Long white hair swayed as she turned to look at her companion.
"Charlie.."
"I know," sighed Charlie. "I wanted to do this. I have to protect Ree. And I have to do it without Daemon knowing. Ree had always looked after me, even if from a distance. Then mom and dad started ignoring her. She hates me for it. I have to make it up to her."
"Come on," said Aimon. "Let's see if we can get these guys to surrender."
"What good will it be? This world will be destroyed anyway."
"But we could at least stop the bloodshed."
Charlie was silent for a moment. "Let's go." The two walked down the hill towards the battle. The doll was still clutched in the human girl's hand.
1- I couldn't think of a name. Don't own.
2- Don't own. 'Tis the school of the Ronins.
3- Sage- That's my title! Ag- Shut up! Be glad the warlords were humiliated earlier.
4- D-Gauntlet. I got tried of writing the whole thing.
Daemon? What's he doing here? And why does he want to destroy worlds? What is this virus planning? And Charlie wishes to protect her older sister. Does that mean Reelyn isn't as bad as she seems?
Next Time: Sides Assembled, Game Start!- Jen has a run in with Addy. She confronts the American and demands to know how to become a tamer. The gang goes to the Cherry Hill Temple and met Nuriko. Beelzemon meets them and tells them to go to the digital world. They go; Jen also, weather the others like it or not. They met the digi gods and learn of their new mission; to enter the rifts and seal them shut. It seems that the DGs have that power. Let's jump some rifts!
Ag- That's it for this chapter. Sorry not a lot of action. We're getting there though. I like how I ended it. And does anyone want to know who won the Twisited Metal battle last chapter? It was a tie. How you can get a tie in TM, I have not idea. Me and my sister have tried before and it never worked. I also have an announcement to make. I have a new muse and I don't have to pay him! I figured since he's in all my rants then I'll make him a muse. Congrads Ly!
Ly- Thanks. I think.
Ag- You always give me ideas and motivate me. Plus I love to torment you in our chats. For example. *uses chibi camera. Ly turns into a chibi.*
Addy- *runs in* Chibi!
Ag- I feel like glomping some people. Rath! I know where there's a demon! *leaves*
Chibi Ly- Rath is a character from some manga called Dragon Knights. *takes chibi remote (Ly's invention) and returns to normal. Addy pouts (C. Addy- I wanna glomp some chibis!)* Zak! Come get your girlfriend! *leaves*
P.S. I didn't do a bloopers reel cause I'd have to think of some and I knew you guys wanted to read this. Besides, I couldn't think of any good bloopers for this chap.
Fanfic review
Pain, Joy, Life by cousin D
Do you like Ronin Warriors? Do you like before the war fics? Then this is for you! I love this story. Ryo is a teenage boy living on the street with his grandma. He goes to school and meets the other warriors. Seiji (Sage) is a witch and an outcast. Xiu (Kento), his boyfriend, lives at a restaurant. Shin (Cye) lives with his mothers, Jap and English (or British). Touma (Rowen) lives with an abusive dad. These four try their hardest to help their new stubborn friend. But nothing seems to be going right for the street urchin. His grandma is ill, the shelter is closed, and the man that he fears is after him again. But there is a voice that brings comfort to him. A voice inside begs to cause destruction. The voice is of the fire inside of Ryo. What is with this cursed fire? And will Ryo's life ever get better? This fic keeps you on your feet. Be glad this it completed. Though I can't say that for pt 2.
Twilight Sky is the second book to cousin D's story. It continues where the first left off except the first few chapters focus on the warlords. Anubis (Kale) is a half vampire. Sh'ten (Anubis) the sadistic leader. Not much is revealed about Naza's (Sekmet) and Rajira's (Dais) personalities or pasts. Anyway, Anubis goes to the human world to look for food. He spots a tasty (he's a vamp, remember?) and attractive mortal. After saving him from being raped (well, kinda), he takes a taste of his blood..
"Like lava in my veins, he IS fire and he burned me!" -Anubis ch 2
"He was so beautiful. I want him, Sh'ten. I want that beautiful firefly" - Anubis ch 2
Then the story jumps back to our fav boys in armor. But with all the secrets around, what will stop them from being discovered? Like will Xiu's parents discover he's gay and dating Seiji? Will Touma be charged for attacking his own father? Will Ryo's power over fire be found out? How was Shin able to put his arm in boiling hot water and not be burned? And what about the voice Seiji is starting to hear? Please read this and review. Maybe it'll make her write faster.
