General Zargon: yeah thanks Dark Inu Fan for reviewing!Now if you'll excuse me-continues running around in circles screaming-

Ryuuketsu:-sigh- enjoy the chapter

Takato looked around the large room , in all truth it was twice the size of the matsuki bakery, and marveled at the fine furniture ,the large oak dressers and in tables along with a nice bathroom and good sized writing table near the window and the gold embroidered double glass doors leading out to a balcony and the walls were painted a nice midnight blue and there was a large crystal chandelier in the middle of the room and the carpet was a deep black which accented the deep scarlet drapes with gold embroidering but what really caught takato's eye was the large canopy bed with crimson sheets and scarlet blanket with deep violet lining and with the gold designs spiraling up the oak posters that held the black and soft crimson drapes that hung around the bed so that one might pull them closed for privacy.

Takato took all this in as he looked around a he said to nightmaremon 'wow who ever they're master was before me sure had good taste' nightmaremon roared with laughter 'glad you think so but you better go to sleep I can tell your tired' takato had to agree with that one as he flopped down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

In takato's dream------------------------------------------

takato found himself in the dark place again but what really scared was the memory playing out in front him ,it was the memory of nightmaremon, as takato watched the memory he remember it all how the bullies had attacked him and ripped apart the picture of nightmaremon then how nightmaremon had appeared and scared off the bullies to when nightmaremon had taken him home then erased the memory of them having ever met, it was then that the memory stopped and takato whispered "so that's how it started" it was then that the air shifted behind him and nightmaremon materialized.

Nightmaremon sighed and spoke up "yeah that's what happened" takato spun around to face nightmaremon "why didn't you tell me!" takato shouted and nightmaremon looked down as he answered "I was going to tell you eventually but cheetahmon showing up sped things up" takato had a sad look in his eyes and that just made nightmaremon feel worse "hey look takato I was going to tell you who I was but I didn't know how you'd take it" nightmaremon said and takato looked up and said "so you were they're master before" nightmaremon nodded.

Nightmaremon decided that the atmosphere was to tense for his taste so he decided to try a joke to lighten the mood "on a happier note glad you like my decorating sense" the joke had it's desired effect, takato cracked a small smile "yeah the decor was great but what's with the writing table?" nightmaremon gave a nervous laugh as he answered "well you see the thing is that I had to have somewhere to write to the soldiers in the field and write in my journal" takato giggled and said "y-y-you have a diary!" nightmaremon gave a mock glare to takato before answering "call it what you want but it's a journal" takato only laughed harder.

Takato looked up with a smile on his face as he said "well I guess I better wake up but before I do one question" nightmaremon nodded and takato continued "the servants are never going to let me live guilmon down are they?" nightmaremon laughed and said "nope not really but on another note feel free to explore the castle to your hearts content and if you want something just find one of the servants and order them to get it for you but what ever you do you must not go into the last room in the basement understand?" takato nodded slightly uneasy with the sudden seriousness in nightmaremon's voice, nightmaremon nodded and said "until you fall asleep next but until then I'm going to get some shut eye" stifling a yawn nightmaremon disappeared as the dream ended.

In reality sorta----------------------------------

takato sat up groggily thinking about that room in the basement and a nice shower did nothing to help 'I don't want to disobey nightmaremon but it could be something important' takato debated with himself until he heard a knock on the door and when he opened it there was shadowmon kneeling in front of him "master might I come in?" shadowmon asked and takato replied "sure come on in" shadowmon looked up startled but stood up and slowly walked into the room looking around.

Shadowmon turned around and bowed to takato before saying "master I came to see if you needed anything" takato sweat dropped while replying "yeah some food would be nice and something to drink" shadowmon nodded and asked "and exactly what would you like master?" takato thought before replying "a hamburger and a diet coke with some ice cream for desert" shadowmon nodded and walked to the door but before shadowmon left he said "master might I be so bold as to ask why that digimon you brought with you did not bow in the main hall?" takato sighed and answered "well I did not think it mattered to you whether or not other digimon bowed" shadowmon hastily apologized and left.

Takato sighed as he finished his food and surprisingly it was exactly what he ordered 'I think I'll check out that room in the basement after all I mean it's just a room what harm could it do?' nodding to himself takato stood up and opened the door into the hall to start out for the basement.

General Zargon: well now that that's done with I have to say sorry for not updating sooner but my modem crashed --
