Chapter Eighteen: Tails Plus Voodoo Equals Chaos!- - -
"I think we're lost…" Lopmon said in a sing song voice resting on her partners head again. It forced a soft glare from everyone else as the bunny digimon laughed. "What? It's true."
"So we don't need you to state the obvious," Takuya grumbled having a killer head ache from the previous fight. And alas, none of them had thought to pack aspirin.
"Hey look!" Hex shouted catching the group's attention. "A Trailmon!"
"Thank you god," Takuya muttered before grinning as the Trailmon came to a stop allowing them on. Luckily it was heading towards the Rose Morning Star. So now all they had to do was sit and relax! The group boarded the train. It seemed to be uninhabited as they sighed. Takuya collapsed on one of the seats yawning while Hex went through his cards. Tails sat on another seat Lopmon sitting on her head staring out the window. Wizardmon sat next to his partner looking at the card interested. The ride was peaceful. Well, that is until noises came from a few cars down. It was an argument of sorts.
"Get back here!" That voice was way too familiar… Within moments the car door had flown open as Cat ran in being chased by Kira who had a bat. The cousins ran around not even noticing their friends as Widowmon ran in trying to stop the group but the little digimon couldn't separate them. Another digimon, registered as a Lillymon, flew in trying to help but alas it was no use. Takuya blinked a bit confused before hearing a laugh from the door frame. The Goggle-Head turned his head only to see Kouji leaning against the door. Except… Kouji was looking at them without his glasses! But wasn't his glass snapped by Lillymon? Well they were, but when they were searching for a digimon to repair they had found the Loner contacts! So he no longer needed a seeing-eye-digimon. The Loner was watching them all mildly amused.
"Hey," the long haired chosen said taking a seat next to Takuya who grinned.
"Your glasses are gone!"
"Yea that damn Lillymon broke them…"
"It was an accident!" Lillymon shouted, before she tripped ramming into the two fighting girls. Kouji rolled his eyes a bit at her before continuing.
"… Guess I owe her cause if that didn't happen I wouldn't have found contacts. How there are contacts in the Digital World is a mystery though…" There are contacts because I make it so! Then again, for all we know there are glasses in the Digital World and if there are glasses there must be contacts!
"We're all together again!" Kira said just wanting to state the obvious seeming to forget wanting to kill her cousin as she bounced up sitting next to Tails. The group all smiled happy to be together again.
"What've you guys been up too on your wacky adventure?" Cat asked seeing as they really hadn't had too much action. If you count Lillymon nearly burning down her home trying to cook Kouji wandering around like a blind bat uneventful. Tails and Hex both grinned with their partners and Takuya before explaining. The other children listened curiously there eyes widening a bit after hearing the full story. They were, in short, amazed. I mean wouldn't you be to if you heard that? The remaining trip was spent exchanging stories. Kouji and Takuya were happy to see each other again; they were spared being alone with crazy children. Safety in numbers! However, something very peculiar happened as they neared the Dark Continent… Strange music began to play… Yea Tony kinda put her 'Phantom of the Opera' music in Tails's computer and it somehow begun to play in the Digital World. Don't ask how, just kinda did…
"Phantom!" Cat screamed, yes, Cat in heart is a theatre geek. Kira sweat-dropped as her cousin magically acquired a mask like the Phantom and just to be weird, put it on Kouji, forcing him to just blink. Meanwhile, Hex, Tails and Kira were sweat-dropping watching the theatre geek known as Cat skip around singing along though she was horribly off key and would randomly forget the words of the songs. The only song she actually knew perfectly was 'Music of the Night' because of her choir class in school. The digimon as well as Takuya just kinda sat there blinking. Kouji was currently just wondering why he had a mask on his face before he softly begun humming along with the music. Once when Kouji had been in America due to one of his father's transfers, his father had taken him to Broadway to see a musical. The musical had just happened to be 'Phantom of the Opera'. Kouji really had been young at the time, and truly didn't understand it all but, he had loved the music. Plus his father had promised to take him to see it again when he was older (actually, Kouji's dad said he'd take Kouji to America over the summer to see the play this year). He seemed, to once again go off into his own little world, oh how he hated that ability. Cat blinked and ended her skipping as everyone just kinda blinked looking at him as Kouji sung along perfectly keeping his eyes closed. And seeing as he was stuck wearing the mask… He looked like the Phantom! It just made everyone stare as the song he had been singing along to ending. With that, most likely Tony had removed the CD, Kouji snapped out of his thoughts. He blinked wondering why he was being stared at. He was so oblivious. It's funny. It took a few more minutes till they reached the edge of the Dark Continent, where, they had to get off.
"Please say we packed flash lights…"
"What scared of the dark Cat?"
"As a matter of fact yes!" Cat said crossing her arms with a huff. Hex, Kira and Tails laughed a bit knowing Cat would be clinging to someone's arm. That's what Cat did when she was scared. Takuya sweat-dropped at bit as Kouji just shook his head, not wanting to reveal he was scared of the dark too. Though it was only natural, he was the Warrior of Light, it made perfect sense. They made there way into the continent. Hex grinned scaring Cat quite often as Kira took the opportunity to be a mean cousin and join Hex in teasing Cat. Tails sweat-dropped with the digimon while Takuya laughed a bit Kouji shaking his head.
"Leave Cat alone," the Loner stated in annoyance, since Cat currently was hugging his arm. Takuya grinned a bit nudging Kouji.
"Hey there buddy, why so nervous looking? Don't tell me the great warrior of light's afraid of the dark!"
"Shut up baka!"
"Kouji's afraid of the dark! Kouji's afraid of the dark!" And with the bickering, the two began to fight Kouji putting Takuya in a headlock. The two argued like this for some time while everyone watched. In the midst of this, Tails realized her partner had wandered off. Tails frowned holding a flashlight beginning to search for her friend. She wandered fairly far from her friends though the girl didn't notice it at first. She noticed when it was too late of course. But that always happens in movies so it's normal… Kinda. Okay not really but that's beside the point!
"Dammit, Lopmon where are you?" Tails muttered walking still.
"Hi Tails!" Lopmon cried forcing the girl to jump. She looked up slowly before bursting out laughing. Lopmon currently had her ears stuck in the tree. "Aw shuddup and get me done!"
"Now what fun would that be?"
"TAAAAIIIIIILLLLLLS!"
"Stop your whining I'll get you down." Tails said sweat-dropping. She sighed slipping the flashlight in her pocket reaching up grabbing Lopmon's legs. Tails sighed yanking only to cause her digimon to scream bloody murder in pain. The next attempt was Tails climbing up the tree untangling Lopmon ears… Resulting in the two crashing to the ground Tails landing on top of Lopmon. And as another result, Lopmon getting squished and the two somehow triggering a trap falling into a hole. Tails screamed clinging to her partner who by now couldn't breathe with little 'x's for eyes. They crashed landing on a pile of soft pillows. Tails had swirly eyes as she sat up rubbing her head. She blinked a bit looking around. They were in a small room of some sort. It was cozy. However something caught her interest. She walked over to the table blinking a bit. Lying there were small dolls that looked like all her friends. Hers and Lopmon's dolls laid aside still obviously being worked on. Tails tilted her head to the side picking Cat's doll up looking it over…
(-)(-)(-)
"Holy! Get me down!" Cat screamed floating in the air up and down. The group had been looking for Tails when Cat had just shot up into the sky. Kira blinked white Hex took a picture. He had brought a camera for times like this. Even though according to season three electronics don't work in the Digital World… But will just pretend they can. The digimon had tilted their heads to the side curiously as Cat continued floating in the air cursing.
"What the hell…?" Was Takuya's blunt question as he and Kouji watched the flying girl blinking. Kouji's eyes looked around though he could see nothing.
"It doesn't look like any enemies are around…" Kouji muttered blinking a bit. He then turned his head nearly bursting out laughing (though he didn't. that was un-loner-ish). Why did he nearly burst out laughing you wonder? Quite simple… Kira was currently tap dancing with hand motions included.
"Aaah! What the heck? Since when did I know how to tap dance?" Kira shouted doing a whole '42nd Street routine'. Meanwhile Cat, Widowmon and Wizardmon were floating in the air like they were being juggled. Hex was enjoying snapping pictures as Cat screamed she was going to hurl. After a moment or two they were set, remarkably softly, on the ground. By now the digimon and Cat had swirly eyes and, Kira continued to tap dance.
"Okay this is not cool!" Kira shouted while Cat regained senses.
"What the hell just happened? It felt like my body was moving on its own." Widowmon said shaking her fur.
"Hello? Somebody help me!" Kira screamed while tap dancing. Everyone just ignored her; they felt like being mean to her today. Even though Kira rocks. But c'mon if your friend was tap dancing you'd leave them alone too and watch them suffer.
"Okay, this is very strange… What could be doing this?" Hex asked his hair suddenly turning hot pink. Though he wasn't that phased. Everyone shrugged staying quiet contemplating what could be happening. Hex randomly shot up into the sky at one point flying around and to make the thing more hilarious, he continued to shout 'I'm Peter Pan!' Cat had taken a picture of that. Everyone sighed a bit Kira finally being free of her tap dancing life.
"I will so kill whoever is doing this."
(-)(-)(-)
"These dolls are fun!" Tails shouted juggling Takuya's and Kouji's dolls. Lopmon laughed putting Kira's down. Yes Lopmon was the one making her tap dance! Tails smiled before looking down at the two Digimon characters.
"Something wrong Tails?" Her partner asked frowning lightly as Tails held a look of concentration.
"I have the sudden feeling, if I don't make these two dolls kiss… Then Tanya will hurt me…" Tails blinked looking at the two dolls. "And well since I fear Tanya!"
Oh it's quite a shame she wasn't aware that these were voodoo dolls… And that the action inspired into a whole full on out kiss. Did Takuya and Kouji have control over themselves? I donno. I just write these things.
(-)(-)(-)
"Aaaah! Megumi! You are so not allowed to watch this!" Tony screamed covering the small boy's eyes. He blinked sipping his soda. Tanya meanwhile was staring at the screen drooling in full fangirl mood.
"'Nee-chan lost it ne Tony-chan?" Megumi asked… How is he related to Tanya? How darnit!
"She lost it a LONG time ago Megumi…" Tony stated simply as Megumi gave a soft sigh.
"Such a glorious kiss…" The insane fangirl said with hearts in her eyes. Hex better take a picture for her! Or he will face her Spatula of DOOM!
"Is it over?" Megumi asked as the girl nodded uncovering his eyes.
(-)(-)(-)
Takuya and Kouji were both pretty much gagging Kira giving them mouth wash she magically acquired. Takuya spit quite a few times before he turned shaking his face screaming at the sky.
"Where are you dammit? Come down here and face us! I am going to rip you to sheds!" He screamed fuming his eyes becoming what seemed like fire itself. Everyone inched away nervously until Takuya calmed down anime crying. "My first kiss wasted on Minamoto! Does god hate me?"
"Yep," was everyone's response in unison. Though each could swear they heard Tanya saying 'you know you both enjoyed it!' so naturally, that forced the two kissers to plot their revenge.
"Guys… We should find Tails." Cat suggested. "I have the strange feeling she has something to do with this…"
With this the group began searching for Tails. Occasionally they would start doing the randomest things. Like Hex doing the funky chicken, Cat doing the moonwalk, Kira flying through the air like superman, Takuya doing the whole chicken dance, etc. After about an hour Cat sighed walking backwards with her hands behind her head. She then screamed catching everyone's attention as she fell through the hole... Right on top of Tails and Lopmon.
"Cat I can't breathe!"
"Both of you are crushing me!"
"What the hell were you two doing? Gasp! It was you two!"
"Eh…?"
"Oxygen issue…"
"You were the ones making us do those crazy things!"
"We were…? We were just playing with the dolls…"
"Cat you okay down there?"
"Yea I found Tails, and ack! Lopmon!" Yes, the two finally noticed the poor crushed Lopmon who they were on top of. The little rookie laid still swirls for eyes as the two girls laughed nervously. Eventually they managed to get back to the surface (after reviving Lopmon. And when we mean revive we mean the children screaming in her ear to snap her out of it). Tails of course naturally brought the dolls with them, Wizardmon took them immediately chanting a spell to un-voodoo them. Tails and Lopmon were being killed but the whole group. However… That was until Takuya noticed something gaining everyone's attention.
"Guys… Where's Kouji…?"
