HELLO COUSIN!

Previously:

"Wait up!" Ashley cried. Suddenly Jun walked past them, and she whispered into Davis' ear. Davis shuddered at her message.

"I hope you have your will written. She's a nightmare." Davis looked at the retreating Jun, and then at Ashley. She seemed innocent enough. Then, he remembered the events of her arrival. 'She was probably just excited to see me.'

"Come on! Let's go," Ashley said. Davislooked at the five-year old. He relaxed and thought 'She can't be that bad, can she?' Oh, how very wrong he was.

Part 2

Davis and Ashley began walking down the street, the heat wave killing them. Davis gasped while Ashley began slowing down. The heat was really getting to her. "Come on, it's not that far," Davis said. He pointed to a yellow building in the horizon. Ashley moaned in disagreement.

"Let's just go back Dawy," she suggested. Davis shook his head firmly. Ashley gave him the puppy eyes, but Davis was determined to get to the mall.

"Kari's apartment is on the way, we'll stop there to rest," Davis said. He continued walking, Ashley trailing behind him. He was thinking about the dream. He had seen the mall on fire, and that Dark figure floating over it. The figure had laughed cruelly and picked up one of Odaiba's citizens. He had then ripped the man's head off and swung the body around, letting blood spill everywhere. Davis was brought back to Earth by a familiar voice.

"Hey Davis!" It was none other that Hikari Kamiya, the Child of Light. She smiled at Davis and Ashley. When they reached her, Kari leaned down and patted Ashley's head. "And who are you cutie?" Ashley smiled.

"My name's Ashley Minamoto."

"Well then, hello Ashley." Then she smiled at Davis.

"Hey Kari," Davis said. His heart began accelerating as she hugged him. "Long time no see." Kari nodded and the 3 began walking down towards Kari's house. "Here, let me help you with those," Davis said and grabbed the bags Kari had been carrying.

"Thanks. It's really hot out isn't it?" Davis nodded. When Ashley could not hear them, Kari whispered, "A year ago you would have been humping my leg by now. What's wrong?" Davis grinned.

"Nothing. A year just changes people."

"A year. How come you didn't write or visit or anything?" Kari asked. "I mean, we only live like 3 blocks apart."

"How come you didn't?" Kari pouted.

"That's not fair. Don't start turning things on me."

"Then stop pestering me," Davis said in mock-anger. Kari giggled. Then Ashley spoke.

"Are you Dawy's girlfriend?" Davis blushed and Kari giggled. She shook her head. "Oh," Ashley said, looking disappointed. They continued walking until they reached Kari's home. Kari took out her keys and opened the door. The three of them walked in and immediately noticed a lot of chips scattered on the floor. Taichi was on the couch.

"You're here early," Kari told her brother. Tai ignored her and continued to eat chips. Kari slapped the back of his head. Tai looked at Kari, finally realizing he wasn't alone.

"Hey," he said, boredom dripping from his voice. Davis stifled his laughter. Tai looked completely pathetic, chips all over him and bags under his eyes.

"Anyway, I'd better be going, I'm taking Ashley to the mall," Davis said and began heading out the door. Kari and Tai both stopped him, each with a different excuse.

"TK and I are going there in half an hour."

"Take me! I'm bored and I can drive!" Davis sweatdropped.

40 MINUTES LATER

Davis, Ashley, TK, Kari, and Tai looked around the mall. Tai immediately headed towards the sports section, Davis following. Kari however stopped him and said, "You have to take Ashley where she wants to go." Davis groaned in protest while TK laughed.

"Shut up TK." Davis and Ashley headed for the south side of the mall while TK and Kari went north. Davis smiled sweetly at Ashley.

"Where do you want to go?" Ashley pondered the question in her head for a moment. Then her face brightened up and she answered.

"A doll shop!" Davis smiled painfully before guiding her.


TK and Kari walked around the mall. TK was staring at the walls of the yellow building while Kari checked out clothes. However, a battle was raging in TK's head. 'Was it a normal dream or a prophecy?' He shuddered as he remembered the laughing figure standing over the mall, Odaiba in ruins. TK was brought back to Earth by Kari.

"Hey, let's go to the mall's movie theater. I heard they're playing really good movies.' TK agreed. As they were walking, they saw Tai in a costume. He was wearing an orange dinosaur suit with a long tail and big googly eyes. He gave a stupid chuckle before petting one of the many kids around him in the head. TK's laughter rang through the mall. Kari was also laughing hard. Tai glared at them. Then suddenly, one of the kids spoke.

"You have a huge tail." She then pulled on the tail. Tai was caught by surprise, and he fell.

"GET THE HELL---OOOOOOOOOOO BOSS!" Tai made a quick comeback. The boss told Tai he could have 5 minutes of rest and Tai headed towards TK and Kari. After they had calmed down, Kari spoke.

"What happened?"

Tai sighed and said, "well…"

20 minutes earlier

Tai stared at the soccer ball on display, captivated by its roundness. As he entered the store to buy it, someone crashed into him. It was a man in his thirties. As they both got up, the man looked at Tai and said, "Yes, perfect size. Just got to tweak it a bit because of the hair. Perfect body!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tai asked nervously, not knowing this man's intentions.

"Even the voice is perfect!" Tai began to back away. "Hey there, how would you like to make 300 bucks?" The man sounded extremely excited. Tai thought 'Holy shit!' before he turned around and began sprinting. Before he took five steps, the man had Tai in his clutches. "Listen, one of my workers was supposed to entertain kids today but he didn't show up. Will you dress up and take his place?"

Tai looked at the man, trying to decide. He was thinking hard, then "What the heck. I've got nothing else to do." The man shook Tai's hand and introduced himself as Jake. Jake beckoned Tai to follow him. "Anyway, Jake…"

"YOU CALL ME BOSS!" Jake shouted.

Tai stared dumfounded and said "What?"

"DO NOT DISRESPECT ME YOU UNGRATEFUL YOUTH!"

Tai said, "I quit!"

"No you don't," Jake said calmly.

"You can't stop me!" Then Jake waved the cash in Tai's face. "What do I do?"

"Just put this suit on and follow me." Tai looked at the suit with horror. He was a Barney impersonator. Kamiya put on his costume and walked out of the dressing room with Jake. The American man guided him through the mall. As he was walking, Tai saw Davis and Ashley exiting a doll shop. Davis tried very hard not laugh but failed. Ashley looked at Tai and said he was cute. Then the two walked away.

"You ready?" Jake pushed him toward a group of kids. "Look kids, it's your best friend Malaca Bob!"

'What the hell have I gotten myself into?'

Present time

TK laughed a bit more before saying, "Good luck." He began to walk away with Kari when Tai stopped them.

"DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THE LITTLE SPAWNS OF HELL!" Then Jake called to Taichi. "Damn."


Davis looked at the shoes in front of him while Ashley picked out sandals. He continued to stare until he felt something was wrong. He looked towards the sandal section and Ashley wasn't there. "Ashley!" No answer. "Ashley!" He was starting to panic. "ASHLEY!" then he let his frustration be known. "SHIT! WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?"

Davis got out of the store, looking for her. He went back to the doll shop, but she wasn't there. There he spotted Tai. "Yo, have you Ashley?" Tai looked at him.

"You lost her?" Daisuke nodded and Tai told him to wait. He talked to Jake for about five minutes. He shouted a bit, then walked into the dressing room. He walked out dressed as he was before with the costume in his hand. " Hey kids, watch this!" He threw the costume in the air, intending it to get stuck in one of the bars that ran along the roof. Sadly, this story carries misfortune so I'm sorry to say the older Kamiya sibling missed. The costume hit a giant fan that was hanging from the ceiling(don't ask why), and Malaca Bob was shredded to pieces. The kids and the two Digidestined stared dumfounded at the floating pieces of orange dinosaur. Then the fan began malfunctioning. Jake looked at Tai.

"I'M GONNA HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT! NO WAIT. YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT!" Tai looked at Jake and then began sprinting, Davis at his side. "HEY!"

"Screw you! You're psycho!" With that said, Tai increased his speed. Jake stopped two mall security guards.

"Those kids did damage to my costume and that fan and they won't pay for it!" The guards pulled out communicators.

"All units, we're on a chase."

"Description of the people we're chasing?" The man sweatdropped at the answer he was given.

"If you see a brown bush with legs, then you've got them."


Ashley looked around the mall, looking for Davis. "Dawy?" Then she said, "We must be playing hide and go seek!" With that said, she began walking.


A/N: Wow, that took a long time. I'll try to get the next one out sooner. Thans for the reviews.
