Chapter 15
He just finishes putting the final touches to the living room. It's been a whole month since the battle with the Dark Masters and he's going to be starting school soon too. He hears Revmon enter the room and just nods approvingly at how he decorated the living room.
They've been busy this month with getting the apartment just the way they wanted it. Also he's been teaching the others on how to find, operate, and close the Digi Port. Already Joe and Izzy get it, Mimi's still needing the most help, mostly cause her parents are moving to New York City in hopes of getting away from the whole mess. Surprisingly, his mom hasn't done the same yet, but he knows it's coming and is happy to know that TK just needs to remember to close the gate after he used it last. The same could be said with some of the others too, but they're getting there and he's proud of that.
He then flings himself onto the couch and with the remote turns on the TV. He finds that it works fine and then changes the channel. The whole Digimon thing is getting to be old news and he sees that as a positive. In time everyone will either ignore it or forget it, considering that most of information that governments have gathered is slowly getting deleted.
He hears Revmon sit on the lazy boy chair and they just stared at the TV. He can't believe that this isn't all a dream, him being in the real world and not camping out or living with Gennai. He could do without the attention that he's getting from the opposite gender though. It seems that many girls seem to think him ruggedly handsome. They also seem to not care that he has one green eye and a blue eye either. The girls think it adds character to him, along with his white hair.
He's just happy that he hasn't given out his new phone number or E-mail address to anyone who's not his friends and family. The definition for family was mostly Matt and TK though. His real parents wouldn't understand and he didn't want to cause confusion with their lives.
As they watch this cartoon show from all the way from Canada or something like that, the doorbell rings. He sighs and gets up off the couch to answer the door. He opens the door and finds all of the Digidestine in the hallway with what looks to be party favours.
"Are you going to invite us in or not?" Tai asks. "Sorry, just zoned out for a bit there. I didn't expect to fine you guys at my door step so soon." He says and he moves out of the way to let them in. "Finished unpacking then?" Sora asks. He nods and closes the door once everyone is in.
He watches the expressions on their faces as they notice just how large the apartment was. "You're living here!" Mimi asks. Revmon gets up off the couch and stares at them. He answers, "Yip, that was our reaction too. Not that we're complaining mind you." "Looks good, love the big screen TV by the way." Matt says. He watches as they soon set out the food and TK and Kari open the Digi Port to let their Digimon join in on the party.
It seems that the Digimon were also in on the whole thing too. He realized that he'd not be having a quiet afternoon today. He just shrugs it off and they soon talk about what's been going on in their lives. He smiles a bit as Kari and TK spent most of the time talking with each other.
He soon found himself being dragged into a verbal battle about sports. He really doesn't know just how, but he soon found himself talking about Basketball and arguing with Tai about weather it was a real sport or not.
It was Sora that played peacemaker and he was glad about that. Then they wanted know when he started to get interested in sports. It took every fibre of his being to get the focus of the conversation away from him. Soon Mimi found herself the centre of attention, but didn't want to be.
It soon turns out that she's leaving at in two days. Soon, unless they decided to have their next bunch of get togethers in the Digital World, this will be the last time they were all together in the real world for time to come.
Soon it becomes late and most of the guys need to leave. Soon only Matt and TK remained. The Digimon had also decided to return to the Digital World too. Matt helped clean up and TK and Revmon were watching the TV. He has long since hacked to get stations from around the world. The problem was that he has different modes to choose from.
"You played Basketball?" Matt asks. "Just cause I did means that TK will. We're two different people and with different goals in life. I believe one of TK's goals at this very moment is to spend as much time as he can with his older brothers." He replies. Matt nods in agreement and says, "You got an extra room then?" He nods and says, "You never know just what will come your way." Matt sighs and nods at that too.
Soon Matt and TK have to leave as well and he promised to visit TK this weekend. He closes the door and he smiles as he went through the whole afternoon.
"A nice surprise, huh?" His partner asks. "Yip. Nice to know that we can still find time to meet up and hang out." He tells his partner and he then heads off to use the shower.

He walks through the park without Revmon by his side. It's Wednesday and it's been three days since the party. He stops when he hears, "Hey wait up Jager!" He turns to find Kari running towards him. She soon catches up and he waits for Kari to catch her breath.
"So, what's up?" He asks the eight year old. "I kind of wanted to talk to you about something." Kari answers. He's curious as to what she wants to talk about and he looks around and finds a bench. He leads Kari to the bench and sits down. He waits for Kari to gather her thoughts and then she begins. "Do you think I'm old enough to go to the Digital World by myself?" Kari asks him. He studies the eight year old in front of him and answers, "Just tell Tai where you're going and how long you'll be. If he doesn't like it, just tell him you want to spend quality time with Gatomon cause the two of you need some alone time." Kari blinks and then she smiles at this. "Thanks for the help!" Kari says and runs off. He just knows that he'll get a talking to from Tai, but he's not going to help anyone baby Kari. He wants her to find out who she really is and what she wants out of life. Life is too short to try and please anyone but yourself.

He sighs as he changes the satellite mode to something English. He soon finds a movie channel and leaves it at that channel. Today is Friday and it's Jager's first day of school. He can't believe that it's almost been a week since the party and by now Jager doesn't have to remind the others about closing the Digi Port anymore. It seems that Gennai has taken the task onto himself and now when one of the Digidestine leaves the room, the Digi Port closes automatically. It saves on time and energy.
He sighs as he checks the time, it's almost time for Jager to be coming home and he then looks around the living room. He sighs and gets up off the couch to start cleaning up his mess. He's never had hands the last time he was living with Jager in the real world and he's kind of enjoying it, though he's still learning about how to clean up after himself, but he's getting better at that.
As he finishes looking around the living room, he soon just turns off the TV and lies on the couch remembering the first time they went after the rogue Digimon that murdered the Digidestine.
(-/-/-/-)
They followed the directions that Gennai gave them. The Digimon that they were after is named Fugamon. This Digimon looks like Ogremon, but maroon skin colour and with tiger colour cloths with whitish purple hair.
They soon found the small village that Fugamon is using as a base camp. He studies the camp and finds the there are Gazimon guards around the camp. He nervously looks at TK, for if it wasn't for him getting TK to stop around midnight to sleep, he believes that TK would have continue to journey here without stopping to sleep. They'd stop to eat and maybe even to use the bushes, but TK seems to believe that if he obliterates the Digimon that murdered him and his friends, that he'll feel better.
He really doesn't know if that's true or not, but he's happy that TK's doing more then cry and sleep. So he'll reserve judgement until later, for now, he'll do things TK's way.
TK has a icy look in his blue and green eyes. He waits for TK to say something or to motion for him to attack. TK tears his gaze from the base and looks at him with a determined look in his eyes and on his face. "I'm going in too." TK's tone broke no argument. He just looks worriedly at his partner and best friend, but then nods and looks away.
They soon move as quietly as they can towards the out skirts of the camp. He just hopes that TK will be safe. He's a rookie Digimon, having Digivolved four years ago without help from TK though.
When he first looked at himself in a mirror, his first thoughts were of a black Gazimon with Gatomon type ears, but when Gennai examined him, he learnt more about just what kind of Digimon he has become. It was then that Gennai found this odd program that they named X-Antibody. The antibody part was from the fact that it reminded Gennai of an antibody program, but the X just stands for unknown though.
The function of this antibody is unknown; that only it makes the Digimon that has it extremely powerful and almost invincible. He's been through a series of tests and Gennai still doesn't understand half of the abilities that the antibody can do. Also Gennai just can't figure out why it appeared in him and why now of all times.
He watches as TK grabs a wooden stick, but decides not to ask questions. Soon he crosses paths with a pair of Gazimon and he attacks the two using his Air Slasher attack. It deletes the two and he looks around for TK but can't find his partner.
'How'd he leave without me knowing about it?' He thinks as he searches for his partner. Soon the camp is on alert and many virus rookies are attacking him. He finds it no trouble at all deleting the Digimon without using either of his attacks.
He dodges a swing from the remaining Gazimon and soon his right paw is in the Gazimon's stomach. He then heads for the larger building as the Gazimon's data floats towards Primary village.
He soon finds TK fighting with the Fugamon and he rams the left side of the Fugamon. This makes the champion lose his balance and TK knocks the club away from the virus. "How?" The fallen champion asks. "How can you be here, human? The portals to the real world are locked!" Fugamon tells them.
Then Fugamon tries to ram TK with his head but TK moves out of the way. He slashes at the virus's face and TK uses his stick to jab at Fugamon's head. The champion Digimon tries to knock the stick out of TK's hands, but before the virus could bring down his fist, he uses his Air Slasher to send the virus flying through the air.
They move cautiously towards the Ogremon-look-a-like. "Why did it work?" Fugamon says before breaking down into data. They both just stand there for a good ten minutes before leaving the area.
(-/-/-/-)
He snaps out of his thoughts and asks, "How'd school go?" Jager puts down his bag on the kitchen table and answers, "I think it could have gone better. A lot of my fan girls go to that school." He just laughs at that thought of his partner running from a crowd of teenage girls! "I could have done without the uniform too." Jager grumbles as he finishes finding something to snack on. He just grins and can't wait to hear more about Jager's first day.
