Chapter 10
He finds Guilmon playing in the fountain. "Hey boy!" He waves at his partner. Guilmon looks up and with a yell, "Takatomon!" Guilmon runs and tackles him. He laughs as Guilmon nuzzles him. "Quit it Guilmon! That tickles!" "Ok, Takatomon." Guilmon says and gets off him. "Thanks boy, so what do you want to do?" Guilmon thinks of a few minutes and then says, "To swim!"
Guilmon turns and runs to the fountain. He just sighs and walks to the fountain. Then Guilmon promptly splashes him, he glares at Guilmon for a second before splashing him in return. They soon begin to wrestle, with him trying to pull Guilmon into the water, but having a rough go. They continue with water games until Takato begins to glow and they both look at each other sadly before he wakes.
He opens his eyes to find Tommy shaking him. He yawns and says, "We there then?" Tommy nods his head and says, "We almost forgot about you! Everyone else is out of the compartment, I agreed to get you." They both stand up and he lets Tommy lead the way. "Thanks, I was really tired. I never really expected to have my enemies running on just looking at me before. I just hope I find some answers to it." Tommy shrugs and says, "I guess, I just don't know where you can look for them. I mean you might have to go to that GL place for them. But I think we could be by your side when you go. I wouldn't mind see new places and meeting other Chosen kids. It'll be an adventure that'll have huge consequences in the long run." He thinks about it and then nods, "True, I never thought about it that way. Thanks for the ideas…"
He didn't get a chance to speak further for the simple fact that Lucemon and Calamon tackled him. He didn't fall, he just remained standing with the two Digimon hugging. Calamon was hugging him around his neck and Lucemon around his waist.
"We really missed you Takato! Happy your back!" They both say at the same time. He pats them on their heads, "I'm happy to see you guys too. But I wouldn't mind continuing to the keep. I'm hungry, I haven't had any thing to eat since we got off the Trailmon, when we made it the right spot." He looks over at Tommy, only to find that Tommy was trying not to laugh. The two Digimon did let go and grab his arms to lead him back to the keep. "Come on! The faster you finish eating, the sooner you can play tag with us!" They said at the same time, again. "See you around, Tommy." He says, before he disappears through the doors of the keep. Tommy waves at him and says, "See you later, Takato."

He feels really bad that he forgot to wake Takato up. Luckily Tommy didn't mind going to get him. He was with his brother and the other Legendary Warriors. They finish telling the three megas about just how the enemy reacted to seeing Takato's Hazard symbol, then about how they defeated Edemon. They were also eating some food and drinking some juice that was brought in. They were all hungry, so they really didn't mind that there's food for them to eat as they give their accounts. They all got to tell different parts of what happened, giving the others time to eat and have some juice to drink.
There's a pause before Cherubimon spoke, "This changes some things. It would seem that the enemy didn't expect that we would go on the offence of. And if their reactions to Takato are true, then those that are in high command will reconsider trying to conquer us." Seraphimon spoke next, "Agreed. We'll give them time to think about all this. If that Edemon was quite high up in command then they'll be in chaos, looking to replace him and maybe trying to keep rumor from spreading. So, we'll wait and observe what'll happen for now." They all nod in agreement with that idea. Then Orphanimon added, "I guess that's all. Thank you for your help, Digidestine." Takuya answers, "It's no problem, Orphanimon! We're happy to help you guys, right guys?" They all nod in agreement with Takuya.
Soon they finish off eating the last of the food that's on the table. Tommy enters having a grin on his face. "Takato's with Calamon and Lucemon. I believe that they plan on having a game of tag." They just shook their head at that.
They look around and then he says, "I'm going to go visit Bokomon and Neemon, so who wants to come along?" J.P. asks. Takuya and Zoe didn't want to go, but Tommy, Kouji, and him. They didn't really have anything better to do. Arbormon, Mercuremon, Ranamon, and Grumblemon all had things to do as well. Soon all that remained in the meeting room were J.P., Tommy, Kouji, and himself. They get up and leave. The three megas had already left before Tommy had entered the room.

He watches Calamon and Lucemon plan something. Even if they're quite a few miles away, all he had to do was focus on them and he can saw them almost perfectly. He sniffed the air to smell the scents of flowers and of the kitchen. He was also tried to listen in on what their planning but the wind wasn't coming his way. The tip of his tail twitches like cats, moving without him really knowing.
He just sighs and without really thinking about it, he move higher up into the air. He then began to fly in lazy circles around the garden. He waits for them to finish up. 'I bet that they're changing the rules. Calamon always did like to come up with new rules. I bet that there going to be goofy and highly stupid. I wonder if Seraphimon has any card decks? I think Lucemon might like to learn how to play Go Fish or Poker. I know Calamon likes to play card games. Or maybe J.P. might have a deck? I'll have to ask. Finally, their done.'
Calamon and Lucemon begin to fly towards him. He waits for the last minute before dodging their hands. "Try again!" He yells as he goes into a nosedive. "That's not fair! You were ready!" Calamon says, and then they follow him in his dive.
He does acrobatics in the air, barrel rolls and sharp turns. He was having a grand old time. Calamon and Lucemon had given up trying to follow him but they were making plans on being a step ahead of him. With his reaction time, he could dodge or retag them before they even knew what happened.
In the end the two Digimon just sat down and watched as he continues his acrobatics. They cheered and gasp as they watch him do amazing tricks in the air. Soon he lands where they are sitting. Calamon and Lucemon both clap at him. He bows and then walks over to the two. He sits down by them.
"That was amazing Takato! And to think you couldn't fly last weekend. You're really getting the hang of flying!" Lucemon says. He blinks at that, and then he remembers that. "I haven't really notice that, but your right. I really have gotten better, huh?" Both Digimon nod their heads. "You're really good! It's like you were never human to begin with." Calamon says.
He looks startled at that. 'Their right, I almost keep forgetting that I'm not suppose to have wings. I wonder if I'm ever going to be human again. I wonder what my parents would think if they saw me right now? Just last year, they were coming to terms with the fact that I have a Digimon. How will they react to their son being a Digimon?' He was snapped out of his thoughts to find Lucemon waving a hand in front of his snout.
"I think he's out of it, now what?" Lucemon asks Calamon. "Sorry, you guys. I guess you two want to ask me something?" He looks at the two of them. "Yea, could you come with us to the hot pool? We're not aloud to swim in it without someone watching us." Calamon says. He nods and gets up. "Ok then, lets go." The two Digimon exchanged grins and followed him to the baths.

Kouji and him are just staring at just what Takato, Calamon, and Lucemon were doing. They came here to have a relaxing bath, but they have found the three of them splashing each other. They soon stopped and stared at the twins.
"Sorry about that, they started it." Takato states. He folds his wings back up. For Takato had been using them to help splash the two Digimon. "You didn't get us wet, we just came here to get cleaned up before supper." He answers. Takato turns to the two Digimon and says, "Ok you two, no more playing water games. Just relax and enjoy the heat, ok?" The two Digimon nods in agreement with Takato.
He knows that his twin was skeptical about Takato's influence over the two Digimon. He walks into the pool and sits down on one of the stones. He looks over at his brother, and then watches as Kouji slowly walks into the water. Kouji's not taking his eyes off of Calamon and Lucemon. The two-said Digimon don't seem to notice that Kouji's staring at them, for they are on their backs, floating in the water. They were looking up at the ceiling, talking about what they saw on the ceiling.
With the two young Digimon busy, that leaves the twins and human turned Digimon silent. "So, had a good rest?" He asks, breaking the silence. "Yea, I was with Guilmon. We were having a water fight with Guilmon before waking. So, what have you guys been doing after reporting to Seraphimon, Orphanimon, and Cherubimon?" It was Kouji that answered. "We when to visit some old friends at the library." Takato nods, "Bokomon and Neemon, right?" "Yip, I didn't know them very well. Not like the others, nice guys." He says. "What you guys told me about them, they kind of reminded me of Kazu and Kenta."
They didn't say anything for a while. After fifteen minutes Takato begins to get out of the pool. "Come on Calamon. You too Lucemon, it's time to go dry off. We'll leave Kouji and Kouichi alone, k?" The two Digimon swam over to where Takato was and got out. "Bye you two! See you at dinner!" They watched as the three of them leave.
"I can't believe they listened to him." Kouji says with awe in his voice. He grins at that. "They really like him. I guess it doesn't hurt that Takato's always ready to play with them. I don't know just how he does it, but he must have more going for him other then being a great cook. Monday, I believe, is when Takato will be heading back to File Connect. You want to go with him?" He asks his brother. "I'll think about it. You want to go?" He waits for a minute then answers, "I wouldn't mind taking a look at what he has found. I think Zoe might stay here, with Takuya. Tommy and J.P. might just stay here as well, that's my guess any way. I could be wrong." They just remained silent for a few minutes, and then Kouji sighs and says, "I'll go with the two of you. I might as well." He smiles at his younger brother, "Thanks Kouji. I'll tell him tomorrow."

He leads a sleepy Calamon and Lucemon to his room. He helps put Calamon onto his bed, in an hour they'll be ready for supper. He looks at the two, smiling. 'I guess I'll have to make some cream puffs and Guilmon Bread tomorrow. They have been behaving, at less around me. I wonder just what Monday will bring? I hope Calamon and Lucemon don't mind that I'll be leaving so soon. I guess I better make tomorrow special for them. I have to admit that Calamon has been sticking around people longer then he use to. I guess he finds this really interesting. Well, I feel better knowing at the little guy is safe and happy.'
He finds his card deck and begins to play a single game. Not really caring if he finishes it before supper.
To Readers:
I know that some of you have been wondering when Takato will Digivolve. I believe that I'm the only one who knows the answer to that question. I have some ideas on what kind of Digimon Takato will Digivolve into, but the need for him to Digivolve will come later. So be patient, it'll come when I believe the time is right. Thanks for your review!
