Chapter 3He makes it to Ishial Park before the thirty minutes. He did phone Shade to tell him that Chaos had been found. He just didn't add that Chaos was a Digimon. He promised to bring Chaos to his house. He wonders just what to do now. It seems that nothing bad has happened well Chaos had been living here, doesn't mean that nothing will continue to happen. He was really confused on just what to do.
Soon the twins with his cousin's 'dog' appear. As he watches Chaos move between Kouji and Kouichi, he finds it really hard to think of the same dog that was away with Shade being a Digimon. Even harder to think of a way to confront his cousin. If this were before two weeks ago, he might not have believed anyone who even hinted at Chaos being anything but a dog. Not that he's been to the Digital World; he began to think about everything that he knows about Chaos. Chaos never seems to have to go to the vet or about how Chaos never seemed interested in chasing cats. Now that he thought about it, Chaos has never barked or growled. He had wondered if Shade had trained Chaos by himself, since Shade was considered a genus it wasn't that hard to believe.
He just was getting a head ache just thinking about all of this. He never thought to see a Digimon ever again. Now it seems that he seen one for most of his life. He also wonders why Ophanimon didn't hint about this.
They now stood in front of him and Kouji coughed to get his attention. "Sorry, just thinking." He says. "Did it hurt?" Kouji jokes. "Ha ha ha, very funny, Kouji. I really don't know how to confront my own cousin about this. You got any good ideas?" He asks. That seems to take both twins back. Chaos just sighs and says, "I could break the ice, if you want." He looks surprised at Chaos. He then nods as he thinks it over. "Good plan. It's almost five; his parents don't get home until six. That gives us some time to talk. So, you two want to come along?" He asks. Kouji looks at Kouichi and when Kouichi nods, Kouji just sighs and answers, "Why not. I'm kind of curious as to who this guy is." He grins and he with Chaos to his right leads the way to his cousin's place.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
He was relieved to hear that Takuya's friends found Chaos. He heads home. He feeds Dayus for the week and then waits on the couch. Soon he hears a knock at the door and he answers it. He opens the door to find his cousin and Chaos there, but also two guys that looked alike. He was really confused by looking at the one with the bandana. It's like he met someone like him before…
He snaps out of it and invites them in. They walk into the house. "Guys this is my cousin Shade. Shade, this is Kouji and this is his brother Kouichi." Takuya says. He then kneels down to check out Chaos. "I'm fine." Chaos says. He kind of freezes at that. He recovers and sighs. "So the secrets out, huh?" He says as he gets up. "Well, yea." Takuya says nervously. He sighs and heads to get something for Chaos to eat. Not any dog food though. The others sit on the couch as he comes back with a bowl of instant noodles.
Chaos soon helps himself to the bowl and he then sits on the chair. "So, what now?" He asks them. Kouji says, "Well, he has to go back to where he came from." He raises an eyebrow at that. "How? I mean he's always been here with me. It's going to odd having go back to where ever he came from. I don't even think I can stand the thought of him not by my side." He admits to them. "When did he first appear?" Kouichi asks. He thinks about it, and then answers truthfully, "Sometime after this egg disappeared." The others just stare at him and then at each other. "You mean he came out of a Digi-Egg?" Takuya asks. He looks puzzled at that word. It sounds really familiar for some reason. "If that's what that egg was, then yes." He says simply.
Chaos finishes his bowl of noodles and joins in. "I don't quite remember a time before I was a rookie, but I think that I did hatch in this reality. I also knew that Shade's my partner. Plus that I knew that I had to protect him. I can't leave Shade. My place is by his side. My whole being knows this and I'll put up a fight to stay with Shade." Chaos says in an iron tone. The guys just sigh at hearing this. "But Digimon don't belong in the Real World. You have to go back." Kouji says, stubbornly. Chaos just snorts at that and then heads out of the room.
He thinks about what Kouji says and finds that the word Digimon was something he should have known. He was getting uneasy about all this. It was like the feelings he gets when he has faint dreams. He didn't want to think about them either. He didn't like how this conversation was going.
Soon Chaos returns with something in his mouth. Chaos then walks up to him and puts it on the ground in front of him. He looks at the device; he swallows as he looks at it. He then goes to pick it up. He has it in his hands and looks at the colors that it is. It was mostly red with black trims. 'It's changed. It's not supposed to be this color. Why do I even care at what color it is?' Are his thoughts as he looks at the … Digivice. He knows what it can do and what it symbolizes.
He then shows the other his Digivice. Takuya and the twins just look stunned at his Digivice. After three minutes Kouichi says, "It's different then what ours were. It's not a D-tector, that's for sure." "It's a D-3." Chaos tells the others. Then asks, "If you had Digivices, then where are your partners?" Takuya and the twins just look at each other then at him. "It's a long story, I think we should get going. Doing anything tomorrow?" Takuya asks. "Nothing important. As long as it's in the afternoon, I'm good." He says. Takuya then decides to tease him, "I don't want to deal with a grumpy cousin either, so around one at Ishial Park?" He just rolls his eyes and just nods.
They leave at 5:37 and he just sits there, looking at his D-3. He doesn't blame Chaos for hiding it. He feels tears coming down his faces, he wipes them away. He doesn't know why his sad, only that he knew that it had to do with his Digivice. Chaos just watches as he cries, then Chaos rests his head on his lap. He sighs as he looks into Chaos's worried eyes.

She finishes getting ready for her date with Davis. Gatomon hasn't moved from her perch by the window. Gatomon turns to look at her, and then says, "So, where are you and Davis going?" She thinks about it and answers, "Davis didn't tell me. I guess it's a surprise. You're still bummed about Patamon." Gatomon nods. "He was a great friend. I'm having a really hard time with this. I feel that I should be out there, looking. I feel like were missing something important. Like it's so obvious. I keep thinking about that warp. Like, why can't we find the warp? And how did it come about? It's so hard to when you can't seem to get any answers." Gatomon glazes out the window as she says this.
She looks at her partner with worried eyes. Gatomon hadn't been eating as much as she should and it was beginning to show. Gatomon's white fur was starting to look yellowish and her ears look droopy. Gatomon's bright green eyes have dimmed to a dark green. Even Gatomon's tail ring looks pale.
For the first time, she realized that if they didn't find T.K. and Patamon soon, Gatomon might dedigivolve from lack of energy. It made her feels even worst that she was having such a good time with Davis. She goes up to Gatomon and pets her. "As long as we have hope, T.K. and Patamon will be ok. T.K. is the embodiment of our Hope. So have some faith, Gatomon. Their fine where ever they are." She tells her partner. Gatomon looks a little better on hearing this. "Your right, Kari. I just wish I could be with them. To help bring them home." Gatomon tells her. She nods understandingly.
She hears the doorbell and leaves her partner in her room. She knows that Agumon will take Gatomon some food later. Tai answers the door and was about to yell her name when he sees her coming. She smiles at her brother then at Davis. Davis then gives her flowers and she takes them. Soon they're on their way out the door.

He looks at Shade's sleeping form. He had kept their Digivice hidden for the right moment. He had a feeling that it would bring out a reaction in his partner. The fact that Shade remembers the name of the device means that he'll be having more faint dreams tonight. He knows that Shade would rather not have them, but they needed to know more about their past and for now, Shade has the key. He looks over to were the only light in the dark room. He has long since gotten use to Dayus the snake. Once he saw that it didn't take attention away from him, that is. He knew that his fear had been groundless, but that didn't stop him from having them.
'He was right; a snake is easy to look after. I guess I'm happy that it wasn't a cat or a dog. I don't have to worry about any noise from it, either. Well, I better get some sleep, too. I think tomorrow will be full of surprises.' He then closes his eyes and slowly fasts asleep.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
As he waits, he plays soccer with Tommy. Tommy and Zoe, were the next one to arrive after he did. He thinks that he gave Zoe a bit of a heart attack by being here so early. He had brought the soccer ball with him for the simple fact that he would go crazy just sitting down and waiting. He knows that he just isn't that kind of person. He had always know that, but now he was trying to do something about it. He already plans on asking Shade for help after this meeting.
It was kind of odd, but now that he thought of it, Shade hasn't really mention anything more about the changes in him. Not like how his parents or little brother did almost everyday since he got back from the Digital World. But they seem to be getting use to it, though. Maybe by the end of this coming week they'll stop with the comments.
Soon he looks up from where he's standing to watch as his blond cousin walk over with Chaos by his side. He finally relaxes as he watches as Shade stops under a tree and watches him. He then looks over to where Tommy was and see that Tommy was looking at Shade and then back at him.
After this goes on for a good five minutes, he asks, "What's wrong?" Tommy answers, "How come his blond? I thought that he might have, well darker hair coloring then you or Shinya." He blinks at that. He then looks at his cousin and just sighs, and tries to explain, "He's always had blond hair. It's his natural hair color. As for why he's named Shade, you might want to ask his mother. But how I heard it, my aunt read this novel about this bat named Shade. You know how bats are good luck? My aunt thought that it would be a good name for a son. For his middle name, it's Naruto. That's what my uncle choose for a name. Don't know why, really, but it is. So my cousin's full name is Shade Naruto Kanbara." Tommy blinks at that and then looks at Chaos. "So, Chaos is short for ChaosPupmon?" Tommy asks. "Yip." Was all he would say on that matter.
To Readers:
I would like to say about pairings is that they'll develop as the story goes on. So far it's Davis and Kari, Ken and Yoleithen Gatomon and Chaos. Those are the main ones, but I'm not too sure where this is headed, so bare with me! I hope that as thisstory continues, it'll make more sense to you, the readers. Thanks for the greatreviews!
