Chapter 5
The after school bell sounds. Ranma head out the door. Soon as Ranma begins to leaving the school ground Kuno shows up. Kuno talks about things that Ranma just tunes out. Just waiting for Kuno to make a move. 'Might get a better converation with those Digimon that show up then with Kuno. About two months and those monster are getting stronger. Now I just need to ask Takato about it. Though I wonder if it's because the Digimon might be champion level? Their getting bigger too. I don't think I'm going to be about to fight those Digimon any more. But Takato's going to need help! Ok, Kuno looks like he's finishing about …now.'
Kuno finish his speech and begins to slash Ranma with is wooden sword. With a simple punch Kuno gets a trip into the school's pool. Turning Ranma heads home. Akane following.
------------------
Kari too is out of school and is heading to Izzy's house. The Davis with Demiveemon, Yolei, and Cody go to meet up with Ken and T.K. has basket ball practise. Patamon decided to come with Gatomon and Kari. She has been try to remember more but just can't. Kari tones out most things. It's not until Kari sees a tree just outside Izzy does something clicks. Kari just stops and looks at. Gatomon and Patamon notices Kari odd behavior. 'A tree… The TREE! The Tree was fighting a … a … a Knight! That boy and his parnter dissapear and the Knight appears! The Tree and the Knight are fight and the knight slow begins to lose. Then that root …'
Kari snaps out of it. She feels an like she need to do something… what she doesn't know yet only that she need to do something to help that Kngiht. Kari runs through the door and up the stairs. Soon she rings the door bell of Izzy's place. Izzy's mom opens the door, she smiles as she lets Kari. After calling for Izzy, his mom returns to the kitchen. Gatomon and Patamon show up before the doors close. Both look winded.
"What's up with the running Kari! You looked like a pair of Cerberumons were chasing you!" Gatomon says angerly. Know that something was bugging Kari today, but didn't know what for Kari hasn't told her. Izzy just rises an eye brow.
"Sorry Gatomon but I just feel a bit jumpy. Could I look through the Digimon Registery, Izzy? I'm looking for a boy my age with goggles on his head. His parnter's a red dino Digimon." Izzy look surprised and motions his guests to follow him. "I'll explain as I'm looking, ok?"
As Izzy opens the page of the registery and then moves to let Kari take a look. "I had this dream last night. In it I saw this boy my age with goggles. Then I see his parnter standing there. I find Gatomon by my side but as I look back to the two they glow and then there's this Digimon Knight where they were. Then this tree come into view. It's roots begin to attack the Knight. The Knight holds his own for awhile but he begins to get over powered. Then when he can't defends himself one of the roots …" Kari couldn't bring herself to say it. Her search on the red Digimon dino turn out into a dead end. "I can't find them …" Izzy looks at the screen. "What did this Digimon look like?" Izzy asks calmly.
"He was tall. Red with black warning markings. It made him look real scary. He had Patamon ears on his head." Kari have moved out of the chair to let Izzy sit down. Patamon and Gatomon look at each other then back at Kari.
Izzy tries to search for the describe Digimon. But can't find any matching Kari's description. "Do you remember anything about the boy? Maybe we can try for him." Kari just nods. As they look at pictures of a lot of goggle wearing boys, none of the feeled right. After looking at over a hundred pictures they both stop. Kari feels more so helpless. Izzy looks thoughtful. "Maybe we should ask Azulongmon." Kari looks at Izzy in surprise. "Why not Gennai?" Kari asks. "For one I know Gennai's busy. With what I don't know. And for another Azulongmon might help make out what your dream means."
Taking a look at the two Digimon who followed her here, Kari finds that both are sleeping. Kari and Izzy smile softly at the sight. "Tentomon's visiting the Digital World?" Izzy nods. Kari looks at the time 5:27 p.m. "You'll phone when you get an answer right?" Izzy nods. Kari picks up the two sleepers. Patamon stirs and wakes up. "What's the time?" Kari resplonds, "Almost five thirty." Patamon head to the window in the living room. With a quick bye and flys home. Kari says good bye to Izzy's parents and Izzy. Walking down the stair Kari feels even more determend to find this boy with his red dino parnter.
--------------------
Takato took care of supper for Kasumi had run late. Making bread that Guilmon ate as soon as it cooled down enough to eat. Takato let him. Knowing it'll take an edge off Guilmon's hunger. Calamon had followed Nabiki to watch her do her homework. Chatting all the while. Nabiki listened with half an ear. Ranma was also working on home work. Akane had head straight to the Dojo though. The fathers had yet to come home from the bar.
Takato had put out drinks on the table for Nabiki and Ranma. As Takato made shear that the stew doesn't get too hot, Kasumi finially comes home. She goes straight to the kichen. Takato helps by taking some of the bags. Guilmon finishes off his last loaf of bread. "Guilmon could you go and watch t.v.? It's going to be supper soon." Guilmon looks at the bags and then his best friend then heads to the living room.
"Thank you Takato. Some of the store were sold out of some of the items I need. Thank for making supper." Takato continues to put things away and just says, "It's nothing. I just made Guilmon bread to tie him over so there's enough stew for everyone else. Beside I vowed that I'll help out with the cooking. I'm just living up to my vow." Kasumi smiles at his answer.
The clock reads 5:43 p.m. As soon as the the table was set. Kasumi when to the Dojo to tell Akane. As Takato stays out of Akane's sight and she heads up stair to have a bath. Kasumi just looks sad and a bit angery, but soon the mask finds it's way onto her face.
Soon after Akane comes down stair she glares at both the Digimon and at Takato. Guilmon doesn't like how Akane is looking at Takato. It reminds him of how some Digimon he's fought look at him. But he doesn't understand why she would look at his friend and Tamer like that, but decides to stay close to Takato. Takato looks at Guilmon and saw the feelings that played in his best friend's golden eyes. Takato plans on explaining some things to Guilmon, but not what a pervert is. Calamon too feels the anger that Akane sends Takato. His bright green eye show a great sadness. He wants to make the anger go away but something tells him that it's wouldn't work. So he head to Kasumi for comfort. Sitting by Kasumi helps Calamon feel better.
So the stew is served. Without Genma around Ranma eats slower and with more manners. In time the stew is finished. Both Guilmon and Ranma had about the same amount of stew. Then everything breaks down.
"Thanks Kasumi, that's really good stew you made." Akane says brightly to her sister.
"Glad you like it, but Takato made the supper." As soon as it was said Kasumi regrettes say anything.
Even Nabiki and Ranma feel a sense of dread. Akane looks stunned. Even Takato, who hasn't been around Akane very long knows what's going through her head. Mostly along the lines of 'That little PERVERT made supper! That LITTLE PERVERT with those THINGS MADE SUPPER!"
Akane's mallet appears in her hand and then begins to swing it toward Takato's head. Guilmon see this girl attacking his best friend use Rock Breaker on the mallet. The force of Guilmon's Rock Breaker shatters the mallet. Everyone look stunned that Akane would try to attack Takato. Akane just gets even angerier. She looks around for support. Ranma just looks numb, Nabiki just shocked, and for the first time that anyone has known Kasumi, she look bitterly at Akane.
Akane's burst out, "It's his monster attacked ME! You all saw that!" In a really cold voice Kasumi says, "If you had mallet Takato you might have killed him. Akane go to your room. And until you learn to control you temper, when ever you come home from school your going straight to your room." Everyone felt a shiver go down their backs. Akane looks around for her father only to notice for the first time that he's not here. Finding no help she going to her room.
Guilmon and Calamon had both moved closer to Takato. Takato look really pale. 'She just try to… I could have been…' Was all Takato could really think about. Ranma just looks at Nabiki and Nabiki looks at him. Then both at Kasumi. Tears running down her face. Nabiki moves to comfort her older sister. Ranma to help Takato.
The house is really quiet. The clock reads 6:23 p.m.
---------------
Ranma sit on top of the roof. Takato was asleep. Both Digimon were staying close. 'Why Akane? Why? His just a 13 year old. You could have killed him. Just because he made supper? Or because once you see someone a pervert you just can't wait to mallet them? Are you so blind?' Ranma was crying. He was crying about how life could have ended today. How everyone had just ignore the signs. Ranma also cried for himself. Any feels he had for Akane just shattered. Ranma hugs his knee to his crest. After hours of crying Ranma heads for bed.
--------------
Takato dreams.
A girl with red hair and purple eyes. They were playing a game of cards. "Goggle head you need to get better. This is the only way short of battling real Digimon. You better get better or you'll make me look bad." She says in manner a fact tone. Takato know what she mean. No new Digimon have Bio Emerge for a month. And Rika had become quiet set on improving Takato's card skills.
"I'm really trying Rika." He says as he studies the cards on the table.
"Try harder then. You never know. Knowing your how to use your card effectively could be what stands between you and your Digimon's deletion."
"You don't need to remind me, Rika. I still dream about it."
Rika looks at him. Her eyes softens. The game continues.
Then Takato wakes to Guilmon shaking him awake. Dressed in his clothing, he didn't bother changing before going to bed. Guilmon looks out the window. With a nod Takato grabs his deck, D-ark, and goggles. Careful not to wake any body, Takato and the two Digimon. Takato takes time to leave a note. Just in case anyone notices their gone. With his shoes on, they take off following Guilmon.
--------------
Kari too dreams.
At first it's fuzzy but then it clears. She sees the Tree. She looks for the knight but can't find him. She looks at the Tree. She knew it was big, but now notes that it's huge! Then her eyes look to the top. A sphere of Fire rippling twenty feet in the air. Getting over her shock, she is surprised to notice that it has leaves. Soon the sence changes.
She watches the boy sit with a red haired girl. Kari moves forward to get a better look at what they're play. Kari finds that on the cards are Digimon. Finds that the two begin to talk. Kari can't hear any of it. But notices how the girl's eyes soften after the boy returns to studying his cards.
Then she awakens. Gatomon wakes up too. And study her parnter. Kari look at her clock 4:02 a.m. it reads. "What was it this time?" Gatomon asks. "I saw that tree again. Then I watch the boy play a card game with a red haired girl. The cards had pictures of Digimon. They talked about something and then they continued to play their game. Then I woke up." Gatomon looks surprised. "But their aren't any card game base on Digimon. Unless you count some card backs." Kari looks at her parnter. "I know Gatomon but he needs help." With a yawn Kari slowly falls asleep. Gatomon takes one last look then too falls asleep.
-------------------
Downtown Tokyo Takato follows his parnter. He knows that his D-arks not picking up anything but he believe in his parnter to lead him where he needs to be. Calamon had fallen asleep on Takato's head. Takato and Guilmon had slowed to a walk. Guilmon still in the lead stops. Takato too stops. The street is deviod of life. Guilmon growls. Taking out his D-ark he scans looks at the screen. Finally it picks up something.
Bladekuwagamon
Champion level Digimon
Virus type
Machine. Attacks Spark Blade and Air Knife.
Takato begins to look around again. Calamon wakes. Guilmon waits. Soon Bladekuwagamon appears. Diving towards Guilmon areally fast. Takato swipe a card. "Digimodity: Hyperspeed actcivate!" With the speed boost Guilmon dodges. The Digimon makes a crater on the street. With a look to Calamon who was sitting on a mail box, Calamon forehead marking glow. Guilmon digivolves to Growlmon.
Bladekuwagamon uses Air Knife. Growlmon dodge and tries a Dragon Slash. The battle continues on until Takato swipes another card "Digimodity: Hyper Wings actcivate!" Growlmon now fly through the air finishes it. Again a portal opens and the data goes to the portal and then said portal closes. 'Where do those portal lead? Why? I'll think about it tomorrow.' As Takato looks at Growlmon he grins.
Soon Takato and Calamon are riding on Growlmon as he flys through the air. Getting close to Tendo's but not too close. Takato and Calamon jumps down. The wing disappear and soon Guilmon appears. Tired looking. They head back into the house. Reaching the guest room they fall asleep without a second thought.
I know there was some Akane bashing, but really think about it. She always mallets Ranma for like no real reason. So why shouldn't she begin to think the best way to punish a pervert is to mallet them? Ranma always walks away from them and everyone she's know can takes more punishment the normal. So she forgets that she's stronger that the norm and forget hows they, the norm, don't have the ability to walk away unharmed from get slammed into a wall or falling from great hieghts.
