Hello! I finally had the courage and heart of continuing this when I didn't want to. I was just busy writing my Star Fox fics. And I was SO busy I never really had the time. But hey, I'm continuing! Also, now I'm not online as much as you thought (No Internet service due to high bills-Damn it!) but I'm still doing my best to update. For now, I only have this, which turns out to be (IF you still remember the fic's details and/or if you were just reading) Toshiro's first assignment. BUT… Can he really do it? Or will he fail? What are his doubts?

…This is also the longest I've ever written, so for your convenience, I've split it into 3 parts, but read it- you won't be disappointed.

Chapter 5: A Call for Charity

"Well… Here we go, first day," He wondered. He still had no idea at all of how did he break his own brother's record. One month. He was the fastest one around. No one could break his record. Nobody could do it. And it still proved to be quite a surprise. But what made him puzzled, however, was why he waited a full month to start. Or, let us be fair… Why did they tell him to start in a month? He had just become a Guard, but that was about a month ago. Just before his DNA test. The test that proved he was of the bloodline of the Fukunaga family- the name he had changed to now. He was now Toshiro Fukunaga. And his brother was just happy to have him as a partner. ...Well, maybe a little too happy. "I still can't believe they made me wait a full month. I mean, why?"

"'Cause they're a bunch of incompetent bastards, that's why." The new Guard turned, and saw his brother in his robe, a red one. Simple enough for Toshiro to understand that he was actually humble. The robe looked just like one that you could find in a bargain sale.

"Man you are cheap! Where'd you get that, a bargain?"

"Heh, you gotta know when to save! Besides, I don't really care about prices."

"So you look at quality?"

"I just get things. I don't look at anything."

"So you just pick things blindly?"

"That's the best answer I can really think of. 'Sides, who cares about what you get? It's taste what matters."

"Taste?" Toshiro finished putting on his clothes, tied his shoes, and got up. He stared at his brother. "…I'll never understand you."

"What about you? YOU never go shopping, as far as I know."

"…I really don't go out much."

"What? You? Not even on dates?" Shigeru asked in a surprised tone.

"No. I'm not that kind of guy. I'm more, let's say… Literate."

"No way, you read books?"

"Yes, I do read books, but not so exaggerated. I'm just… Well…"

There was dead silence. For five seconds. "…Well?" An impatient brother asked.

"I'm just the peaceful-guy-without-a-care-in-the-world type of guy."

Silence again. Five seconds. "…What?"

Toshiro just sighed in frustration. "Forget it, you wouldn't understand."

"No, I do, but… You're… Different."

Toshiro raised his head. "Different?"

"You… You're unlike other Digimon. You… You're just different. I can't explain it, but there's something... Odd about you."

"…" He frowned. "Is this something about love?"

"N-No! Not at all! I meant to say that it's in your eyes." He looked very intently at them.

"Huh? My… Eyes? What about them?"

"There's something… Unusual about them."

Toshiro took out a small mirror, and looked at himself in those. His eye color was the same as his brother's, but… "They look the same as yours. What's wrong with them?"

"Well, it's kinda hard to explain, but, here goes…" He took a deep breath, and decided to start talking before his brother had the need of beating him up with a baseball bat before he even started. "There's something about them that makes people, well… Believe in you. You know, trust you, and it attracts them to you. Such is the result of those eyes. They call… Friends."

Toshiro was surprised. He had never been told such a thing. But what surprised him the most was that his own brother was telling him this. However…

"…Now that I think about it…"

"What, To?"

"…You have those too."

"What, now they got something in common?" A familiar voice asked from a hidden corner right at the side of a door.

"Quiet, Jack! They'll hear us!"

"To Hell with it, I want to know what he means."

"Why don't you ask him then?"

"What the- Do you honestly think I'm gonna ask him? Go ask him yourself!"

"No! You ask him!"

"No,you ask him!"

"Huh?"

"What, Toshiro?"

"Don't you hear something outside?"

"You're right. Sounds like an argument. But who…?" They shot a manful look at each other, and nodded. They crept toward the door, and stood behind it, but then…

"Iknew it! I knew it was those two!" Shigeru whispered, but was immediately scolded by his brother.

"Hush! They'll listen!"

"So?"

"Wait, let's give them a surprise so they learn not to meddle with someone else's affairs!"

"Yeah, but when?"

Toshiro opened the door quickly. "Right now!"

But to their surprise, they saw no sudden response: All they saw was a couple who was literally fighting for gossip supremacy...

Jack:Come here you... You!grabs Kay by the neck and tries to strangulate her

Kay: What were you gonna call me! Come and get it!grabs his neck and their eyes turn flaming red

Both:I wanna kill you! they fight each other with whatever weapons they can get their hands on!

"Quiet, both of you!" Two voices yelled from the sidelines as they came to an abrupt halt. They looked at two brothers who had arms crossed.

"…Oh…" Jack started and Kay finished, "...Great."

"That wasn't even what I wanted to say!"

"Don't start."

Later…

"What were youdoing spying on us?" An angry Shigeru asked a scared Jack after all the commotion.

"Well, I, um…" Jack just kept stammering.

"Answer me, ya poor bastard!"

"Okay, okay! We had just come in to pick you up but instead we couldn't help but… Um… Eavesdrop."

"Eavesdrop? But you heard everything!"

"Look man, we were just worried!"

"Oh, really? Like I--"

"Jack Alias! Shigeru Fukunaga!"

"Huh?" They looked at Kaylee, who stared at them from across the Living Room.

"Will you two stop it? We really should get going." She turned and went towards the apartment's balcony, and she stared at the horizon. A crescent sky was adorning the wonderful city of Akihabara. However, she was still concerned over her friends. They fought a lot, but she knew that one of these days it would bring them bad.

"...Are they always like this?"

"Huh? Oh, of course. By the way, Toshiro, why aren't you helping your brother on this one? He seems to be in need of help."

"In terms of what? Sanity, or mentality?"

"I think you're asking the obvious."

"And I think he needs help in anything. And that sanity and mentality are the same."

The two laughed a little after that. But Toshiro realized, however, that he hadn't really laughed like that in a long time. He was almost devoid of laughter. Especially after the last piece of his family died. One year ago.

"...Shit, I haven't laughed like that in a long time."

Kaylee gasped. "You haven't laughed in a long time? How much?"

"More than a year ago. Maybe even more, I think. Ever since…" Kaylee guessed what he was about to say.

"…Ever since you lost your family."

"Yes. We're the last ones in it. If we make it, that is."

"Don't say that. Of course you'll make it." She smiled at the statement. "And just whatever do you mean by that?"

"Hey, being a Guard is a tough job, and it's only fair that I say so."

"So you're saying that you'll get killed?"

"Almost, but in figurative speech."

"Oh, with irony then?"

"You're pretty quick at figuring people out."

"I guess. I just hope you have a nice time in your new job, then. You show a lot of promise."

"Heh heh, thank you."

"You don't have to."

"At least I have manners."

"That's something Shigeru doesn't even possess."

The two just laughed at such a sentence. And it was true.

"Hey, Kay! Come on, we're leaving!" A voice shouted from inside the apartment.

"Okay, we're coming!" She replied, and turned to a thinking Toshiro.

"Come on, or else we're gonna be late."

"I agree."

They just left the apartment, smiling.

Later, at night…

"I must say, I'm impressed that you're the first guy who's passed the test in a short amount of time. So I thought I should get you this assignment. The Commander left it for you." A cheerful Ada resonated across the meeting room, leaving a large, yellow envelope on Toshiro's front.

"Where is he anyway?" He asked, everyone nodding in response.

"He left for Germany in official matters. Something about some wanted criminal," She replied as she opened a window in the room. "But I wouldn't ask him if I were you."

"No worries."

"So, what's it about?" John asked as he came in, grinning.

"I don't know, I just got it." Toshiro replied as he set the papers down.

"You could try reading it, you know."

Jack smacked him in the head, annoyed.

"Ow!"

"Don't be dumb! By the way, where's Ted?"

"He should be getting here soon. He said that he had to take care of something." Kaylee replied as soon as she heard the answer to the question.

"Something? Like what?" Jack asked, a hint of curiosity noticed in him.

"Had to pick someone in the Airport." A voice said from across the room.

"There you are. Where and what the Hell have you been?" John asked impatiently, realizing something drastic: Ted had completely ditched his old outfit. At least, that's what he thought when they saw each other: Ted now had ripped shorts instead of his old, clean ones, and had a green shirt instead with rocker pictures all over them. The entire better to make him think, "...I'm gonna kill him."

"I was picking up a special someone."

"Who?" Jack asked, but gasped when he saw the benevolent sight that stood in front of him. And everyone else reacted in the same way too. A beautiful Angewomon clad in a blue lawyer-style uniform.

"My friends, this is a very good friend of mine. This is my best friend Caroline Hunter."

Caroline Hunter

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Type: Angewomon

Specialty: Recon unit, strategist, intelligence operative, paramedic

BIO:

A woman of few words, Caroline has had a tragic past. After the death of her parents, older brother and younger sister at the hands of an infamous terrorist group, she was all alone… until she found a light in Ted, who took her in and protected her during this state. However, mysteriously enough for anyone, they have fallen in love, but this has brought them more concern than happiness, and no one knows why.

"It's almost impossible to believe they're friends, you know." John whispered to Jack's ear as he nodded in return.

"Hell yeah, she doesn't look like the type that likesthat kind of guy. Who knows?" Maybe he was right. Or maybe he was wrong.

"Hello, I'm so glad to have met you! He's told me so many things about you!" She said as everyone just returned with the usual nice-to-meet-you greeting.

"I happened to have found her in Germany during my trip!" Gennai spoke as he entered the room. Only a gasp from Kaylee and a groan from Shigeru were heard.

"...Back already, old man?" Shigeru asked frowning, and Jack snickered at the statement.

"You better watch that tongue of yours or else it will suffer a totally screwed fate. Heaven forbid I do such a thing." Gennai replied annoyingly.

"W-what?"

Jack broke out in uncontrolled laughter. "Shut up, you--!"

"Ipity you!" Jack said as Shigeru just got even angrier. And he had never been angrier.

"Why, you! That's it, come here!" Shigeru screamed as he started an incompetent chase all over the station.

Soon, Jack dashed away past Ted and Caroline, who was laughing along as well. Shigeru soon followed, screaming insults through his mysterious helmet. "...I'm not sure I'll ever be able to understand those two," Was all Ted was able to say. "They're so childish. Great, now I sound like an American."

"I think they're funny!" Caroline said, while Ted sighed.

"I think they need help."

"Hmm, a gangster? Cool." Toshiro said as he read the papers inside the envelope.

"Oh yeah, the assignment. I had completely forgotten about that." Gennai replied as Kaylee nodded.

However, two bruised Digimon appeared at the door.

"Gangster he said? Weso have to know!" They sat immediately at the table, very quiet and looking politely and expectantly at the papers.

"Please... Get help." Was all Toshiro was able to say.

"Oh, come on, bro, we love gangster assignments! Besides, you don't come across that every day!"

"Shigeru, will you calm down? I'm just starting to read it!"

"Calm down you two! You're going!" Gennai ordered whilst a wild grin crossed their lips.

"Yahoo! This is victory!" Jack said as he raised his arm along with his friend.

"Yeah-hey! We get to kick ass!"

"!" Toshiro gasped. Jack and Shigeru's faces changed to a serious one. "Not just any gangster. This is..."

"Yes. I want you to go get Big Bob tonight."

Jack arose quickly from his seat, and slammed both of his fists on the table. "What? You gave him such a dangerous assignment?"

"Jack! Calm down!" Shigeru pleaded to deaf ears.

"Gennai, have you gone insane? It's his first day, and you're already screwing him! That's strictly for veterans, and he's just starting out!" His bellow caused silence all over the station.

"Then why do you think I'm sending you four to help him?"

"Why didn't you send us before, huh? You waited for this because you know that if he went alone--"

"Shut up! Both of you!" Their faces turned to Toshiro. He sighed in worry.

"Jack, I'm taking the assignment. I've seen some rough times, and this can't be any different." He turned to Gennai when he finished. "He's right, Gennai. You shouldn't have gotten me the assignment. But... Oh well, it's already here, and I won't let it go to waste."

Dead silence was all it took for Jack to realize that Toshirowas serious about his job.

"Más claro no canta un gallo." (A rooster can't sing any louder!) John said in plain Spanish. And it was true.

"...Are you sure?" Jack asked again, while Toshiro nodded.

"Yes. Big Bob is a criminal, and he must be stopped. And I don't give a crap over what anyone says. Not even you, or my own brother, for crying out loud. Or anyone else." He got up, and started towards the door. "I'm heading to the arsenal, and then I leave. You want to stay, fine by me." He left the room, thinking. "He's worried about me, but I'm not a kid."

"...That's what I call strict." Kaylee said, completely astonished by what she had heard.

"Talk about responsible!" Ted exclaimed, John getting up and heading to the arsenal. "He sure sounds like someone I know-- Ow!" John smacked him hard in the head as he walked out.

Later...

Jack walked around the base with a confused face. He was not sure over how to react to what he had heard from Toshiro. He had never seen him like that before in the short time they had together. Not even once. The many walkways still confused him to the point of making him almost scream. But he preferred not to do so. He already had enough problems to deal with. Soon, he made it to the Armory after about exactly three minutes worth of eternal walking. And there he was: Toshiro was now wearing a belt with two gun holsters, one in each, and his jacket was replaced with a gray suit with several pockets. His shorts remained the same, but he was now wearing black shoes instead of his usual boots.

"I'm impressed that you're serious about your job." Jack said from behind him. Toshiro shrugged his shoulders.

"And I'm impressed that you're the first person that cares for me. No one had done that for me before."

Jack gasped in surprise. "No one?"

"Uh-huh."

"I don't get it."

"I never had any friends."

"Never before?"

"Nope, until the recent turn of events."

"Oh yeah, the freaking test."

"Yeah. I appreciate the concern, but I can take this. If I die, well, you'll capture him, and I'll be showering ya with praise from either Heaven or Hell, wherever I go to."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, no one can really say if they're going to Heaven or to Hell until he or she dies."

"I guess that's true. Hey..."

"Yeah?"

"Don't take this very seriously or anything, but... Have you ever, well... Had a significant other?"

Toshiro chuckled lightly. "Heh, there hasn't been any significant other in this pathetic life you now see standing in front of you."

Jack smiled. "Don't be so pessimistic, there'll be one. Real soon, you'll see."

Toshiro frowned at the statement. "I know; I was just never interested. Why the question?"

"Huh? Just curious."

"You're a bad liar."

"I'm not lying!"

"Oh, yes you are. If there's something you have to ask, then just go ahead and shoot."

"Well, if you insist. It's about her."

"What about Kaylee?"

Jack gave out a long sigh. "This'll sound stupid, but... I want to propose to her. Take her to marry me. What I'm afraid of, however, is that I don't want to take it quickly."

"In what terms you mean?"

"Oh, you know: Sex, experimenting, pleasure... I want my engagement with her to last for a long time, and our life together to last forever. I don't want the three things I just mentioned. At least not immediately."

"So? Just take it easy and slow. It's not like you're gonna have at her immediately. there's more than enough time for that."

Jack frowned. "I know, but I'm still not sure whether I should ask her to marry me or not. I love her, I really do."

"It was plain obvious to me when I saw you 2 together for the first time."

Jack winced. "Is it really that obvious?"

"That's right. I think."

"So, what should I do then?"

"For how long have you known her?"

"Uh, let's see... Ever since forever."

"What're you waiting for then? Go right ahead!"

"Okay, I might just do that. Thanks a lot."

"You don't have to."

Jack turned towards his Jeep, and turned it on, and just sat there, hands behind his head. "Hey..."

Toshiro turned to him. "Yeah?"

"If you say you've never had any relationships, how were you able to give me such good advice?And use such words?"

Toshiro was surprised. "I guess I'm just either good at that, or I used logics!"

"I don't believe you. Logics? Come on. You look like you took that from some sort of book or something."

Toshiro stammered at the mentioning of the word 'book'. "N-No! Of course not!"

A couple of weeks ago...

Toshiro is reading a book named, "A Single's Guide for a Better Marriage and Sexual Life"in his room

Toshiro: Hmm... I'll take that into consideration... keeps reading

Jack burst into laughter the moment he knew of Toshiro's secret hobby. "Hah hah! You read books, don't you?"

"Well, yeah, but notthat kind of book!"

The X-Veemon guard pointed at him repeatedly with an index finger. "Liar! Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar!"

"Oh, stop it. Here they come."

"Yeah, yeah, just let them. And, hey, To!"

"What?"

"We never had this conversation, alright?"

"Whatever."

They saw the small group arriving.

"So, ready for this, To?" Ted asked as soon as they were inside the vehicle.

"You know I am."

"Alright, punch it, Jack!" Shigeru asked, and Jack stepped on the pedal. And out they went, in an almost blinding flash in the night sky.

Wait- part 2 is coming up!
