Chapter 7He heads out to get more frozen rats for Dayus. He puts his MP3 headphones on his head and walks out with Chaos following him out the door. Then he puts the headphones over his ears and pushes play on his MP3.
He's listening to Stray from the Wolf's Rain sound track. He feels great; he slept in, and didn't receive a phone call from his cousin about help with his homework. Then this kid stops him with goggles on his head close to an alley. He removes his headphone and looks at the kid.
"Well?" He asks the kid. He sees another kid holding a green toy worm. "Ok, why didn't you stop when I called you?" The kid with the goggles asks. He looks to Chaos and Chaos just shrugs. He looks at the kid and says, "I don't know you, so could you move? I got some place I rather be then here." He tries to move forward but the kid stops him. "I don't know what kind of mind games your playing, but everyone's worried about you. So just stop acting and lets go already." The kid says. He just stares at the kid and then at the other one. "Is something wrong with him? I mean, he does remind me of my cousin, but without the hat. Could you maybe talk him out of what ever imagery world he think his in?" He asks the other kid. "Davis, I think we should just let him leave." The kid says to the one with goggles.
Davis looks at other kid and then says, "He's not leaving until I get some answers! He just disappears into thin air and now that we find him, he thinks he can just take off! No way!" Chaos stiffens at this. He just wonders just who this kid think he is. Then Chaos says in a low and angry tone, "Are you threatening him?" That causes the two kids to look down at Chaos. Chaos just glares at Davis, and then a blue creature jumps out of Davis's bag. He just blinks in surprise, but he recovers and looks around. "Drop it, Chaos. We don't need to get into a fight, right now. Listen, I don't know who you are, but I think you better just leave me alone. So, just move away and I'll act like this never happened, ok?"
He moves away from the two with Digimon. Not caring that they might be right, and he was the one they were looking for. He doesn't want to think about it. He hears Chaos race to catch up to him. He puts the headphones back on, and soon sees the shop he usually gets his frozen rats from. He wonders just what else will be going wrong soon.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
She finishes writing and sending E-mail. Zoe was back and talking to Zoe about shopping. After sending it for about three minutes, Davis sent out E-mail.
I think we encountered him. Has this red and black dog with him, and it could talk. Guessing that dog's Patamon. T.K. didn't know us, or about our partners. Coming to the park.
C-ya soon, Davis
She sighs and puts her D-terminal away. Gatomon and Poromon look up and she says, "Davis and Ken encountered Shade. They're heading our way." Gatomon sighs and says, "Must have been some encounter." She just nods and looks to where Zoe and Yolei were hitting if off. Zoe says that Takuya was phoning the other Digidestine to get them to meet up at this park. She had also asked about Shade. It seems that Takuya was Shade's 'cousin.' Zoe didn't ask about how she knows about Shade though. Guessing that Gatomon told them about him and his partner.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
Kouichi was the only other Digidestine that could make it. He didn't bother trying to phone Shade just yet. Hoping to talk to him later, when this whole thing is settled. That way, he didn't have to deal with glares from Shade or that Shade might just get up and leave. Just because Shade has a partner and these other guys have one too, doesn't mean that Shade would want to meet with them.
So he looks around for Zoe and sees her talking to this other girl with glasses. He walks up to them and notices that another girl was sitting a bit back with a pink ball and Gatomon. 'So, I'm guessing that's Kari with Gatomon. So Yolei's the one talking with Zoe.' He thinks as he walks up to them.
"Hey Zoe, I take it that this is Yolei?" He says and they look at him. "This is Yolei and the one with the Digimon is Kari, Gatomon's partner. So, who's all coming?" Zoe asks. "Just Kouichi. I didn't bother to phone Shade about this. So, how many others are walking around?" He asks. "There's Tai, Matt, Davis, and Ken. They all have their partner too. So, when will Kouichi show up?" Zoe asks. He shrugs, and answers, "When he gets here." He then notices that both the girls were looking at his goggle and hat combo. He wonders just why they then just sigh and look at each other. It was like he was missing out on something, he looks at Zoe and she just shrugs.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
She looks at the boy that came over. He's wearing goggles and a hat on his head. It was kind of freaky that. And if he's wearing them, it means that he's the leader of the group. She then turns to her side and sees a kid walk over.
"Hey Kouichi! Thanks for coming!" Takuya yells out. She looks on, as the other kid gets closer. "Sorry that Kouji can't make it, but he does have kendo practice. Hello, I'm Kouichi Kimura. It's nice to meet the two of you." Kouichi says politely. She was gets up and says, "My name's Kari Kamiya and this is my friend Yolei Inoue. Yolei's partner is Poromon. I believe you already met my partner, Gatomon. It's a nice to meet you Kouichi." Kouichi smiles and nods his head. "So you're Gatomon's partner, you do remind me of Kouji. Sorry, but it's true." Kouichi says. She just blinks and says, "He's the one that's the Warrior for Light, right?" Takuya the one that answers, "Yip. So, just how did you get a hold of your friends?" Yolei then begins to explain about just what a D-terminal is and can do.
After about thirty minutes Davis and Ken shows up. It looks like Davis was angry about his encounter. But when Davis sees Takuya, he forgets about his encounter with Shade. "Hey! Nice goggles!" Davis says to Takuya. "You too! I'm Takuya Kanbara. This is Kouichi and Zoe." Takuya greets Davis. "I'm Davis Motomiya. My partner's DemiVeemon. Also this is Ken Ichijouji and his partner Wormon. Nice to meet you guys."
So Takuya, Davis, and Ken were all talking about soccer. It seems that Takuya was also on his school's soccer team. She and the others just sat around and talk about stuff.
Then she sees her brother and Matt coming towards them. She sees Koromon under Tai's arm and Tsunomon in Matt's arms. She waves them over. "Hey Kari. So, these are so of this worlds Digidestine?" Tai asks, as he gets closer. She introduces Tai and Matt to Takuya, Kouichi, and Zoe. Then she introduces Takuya, Kouichi, and Zoe to Matt and her brother.
They soon decided to find some place else to visit at. So, Takuya leads the way to his house. There, Takuya plans on calling his cousin. At that, Matt looks away. They all wonder just how their first meeting with Shade will turn out.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
He's home when the phone rings. He sighs and goes to pick it up. "Hello?" He says tiredly. "Geeze! You sound so thrilled to hear from me. What happened? Go jumped?" His cousin says. He snorts and answers, "Yea I did. Tell me, does this have anything to do with some kids and Digimon?" There was a silent and his cousin says, "How'd you know? We got four kids our age with Digimon and two teens around sixteen years old with Digimon. I guess you had a run in?" He sighs and answers, "A kid with goggles kind of threatened me. I think it's for the best that he and I don't have a second run in. What's the older two like?" "Well one of them is a blond and has blue eyes. The other has this hair thing going on. So, you want any visitors?" His cousin says. He thinks about it and says, "If I don't, your going to send them anyway, right?" "You know me too well. It's just Kari with Gatomon and Ken with his partner. Kouichi and them have just left. So, I guess that answers that, huh?" His cousin says. "I'll try to be civil. Good luck with yours." He says and they both hang up.
"We're getting visitors, huh?" Chaos says. "Kari with Gatomon and some kid named Ken and his partner. Kouichi is bringing them over." He tells his partner. He sits back down on the couch and just thinks about all of this.
He was already getting a headache just thinking of this whole event. He just wishes that he were just left alone. But then, Chaos seems to be a happier at this turn of events. He wonders just what this Kari girl is like. He has a feeling that like Gatomon, she'll be stirring up some memories.
(--------------------------------------------------------------)
They come to a house and she looks surprised. For some reason, she thought that Shade would live in an apartment. She was also nervous about all of this. She didn't really know what to expect from Shade. And with Davis already confronting him about this, she wonders how he'll take her and Ken.
Kouichi knocks on the door and it opens to reveal a tall blond. She just can't help but stare into his face. 'T.K. what happened to you?' She thinks as they step into the house. "Hey Kouichi. Gatomon. I take it that this are Kari and Ken?" Shade asks as he closes the door. She sees a red and black dog on the couch, watching them. "Yes they are. Guys, this is Shade, Takuya's cousin." Kouichi tells them. "Hey, I'm Chaos. Nice to see you again Gatomon." Chaos says. They blink and look at Chaos. "Hey your self. This is Wormon, Ken's partner." Gatomon says as she heads to the couch.
They all head to the living room to sit down. She watches as Shade goes to get them something to drink. She found it odd to think that this was T.K. For T.K. never liked to wear dark colored cloths. But the biggest change had to do with his eyes. They weren't as carefree and trusting as she remember them, and for some reason, it pains her to think that about the differences between the T.K. she remembers and the T.K. she sees now.
She looks at Ken and sees that Ken could see it too. 'I know that, logically, he relieved his childhood and that he doesn't remember anything of being named T.K. But he's so different that I can understand what Gatomon means by him being T.K. but really him. I wonder how Matt will like this news.' She thinks as she takes her drink from Shade. Then Shade sits down by Chaos. Chaos turns and curls up closer to him.
Nobody spoke and then she sighs. "You really don't know, huh?" She asks. "I would have thought that Gatomon would have warned you." Shade answers. She looks uncomfortable when she answers, "She did. But I had to see it for myself. Does Takuya and the other know?" Kouichi just stays silent. "I don't think that Takuya ever wondered about me. He doesn't know I'm adopted. Not even Shinya knows, I think." Shade tells them. Kouichi just kind of sighs and says, "So you're adopted? Sorry, but I kind of had that thought when I first saw you. You didn't really look like Takuya or Shinya." Then Kouichi looks around and asks, "So, just what else is there that we should know?" Chaos answers, "Well, for one thing, Shade's not his real name. And he came here as a three year old and as for me, as a Digi-Egg. We just don't remember anything before we landed here." Kouichi just sighs and says, "This is really complicated. I believe I'm already confused. Just how old are you suppose to be?" She answers, "The age is 13 years old."

I hope Davis's behavior is believable! Sorry if there's any spelling errors, spell check can only do so much.
