The Digital Gate: I'm sorry if this chapter is shorter than usual. Its all I could think of until my writers block came back.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX or Digimon, just the characters and cards I made up.
Chazz watched as Suzy sat across from Alexis and began talking to her. From his point of view, she had clearly forgotten about him. He felt himself sneer. Since he nothing better to do, he began to slowly amble away.
As he walked, he went through his thoughts. Why do I care about Suzy and Lopmon's fate? When we first met, she sneezed on me! So why do I care so much? he wondered, Sure, she's cute but- wait, did I just think she was cute? I must be going nuts. That's the only explanantion. Yes, that must be it, he decided.
"Hi!" a cheerful voice piped.
"ARRGGGGHHH!" Chazz screamed, nearly jumping a foot in the air. He glanced around him. No one. Chazz whirled around. Still no one. He turned back around and made to take a step forward.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" the same voice snapped. It sounded familiar... Was it Suzy? Chazz turned around yet again. And again, no one was there.
"Down here," someone said irratably.
Chazz glanced down. There stood Lopmon, looking annoyed. "What are you doing in public? Trying to get caught?" Chazz asked.
Lopmon frowned. "Never knew you cared," he countered. Chazz's only response was to glare. The rabbit Digimon rolled its eyes. "Listen," Lopmon told him, "I think I've spotted Yazuki and Meinumon on the island."
Chazz, who had been walking away, suddenly snapped back around. "What?"
"I think I've spotted Yazuki and Meinumon," Lopmon repeated slowly, as if talking to a small child.
"I heard you the first time," Chazz snapped.
Lopmon crossed his arms, his short eyebrow cocked. "Then why did you ask?"
"Never mind," Chazz said impatiently. "What about Yazuki and Meinumon?"
Lopmon opened his mouth, getting ready to speak when they heard voices. "Quick! Hide me!" Lopmon whispered frantically. Chazz was about to ask how, but Lopmon quickly leaped onto his head and hung there, mimicking the move of his twin Digimon, Terriermon. About to object, Chazz reached up to pull Lopmon off when two girls strolled into view. Chazz froze, his arm dangling in the air awkwardly.
"Uh..."
The girls stared at him, then Lopmon, then at him again. Then the giggling started. High-pitched silly giggles. Both Chazz and Lopmon winced inwardly. The girls continued to giggle and whisper things that sounded like "Boys playing with stuffed animals-how cute!" to each other as they resumed their walk.
Once they were out of earshot, Chazz yanked Lopmon down by one of his dangling ears. "Why did you have to jump on my head?" he hissed.
Lopmon shrugged, to the best of his ability since he was still hanging in the air. "Only thing I could think of," he replied. "Now about Meinumon..."
"Syrus! Chumley!"
Syrus looked up hopefully from his duel with his friend. "Did you hear that, Chumley?" he whispered excitedly. "Alexis is calling for me!"
Chumley glanced at him skeptically. "Don't forget, she said my name too," he reminded Syrus.
"So?"
"Have any of you seen Jaden?" Alexis asked after reaching the table Syrus and Chumley were sitting/dueling at.
Syrus tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Jaden? No...I don't think so," he replied.
Alexis glanced at his koala-like friend. "What about you, Chumley?"
Chumley scratched his head. "I think I saw him by the Obelisk dueling arena," he answered slowly.
"Thanks!" Alexis turned and dashed off.
Syrus cupped his hands. "What do you need Jaden for?" he called at the top of his lungs.
"I need to tell him something!"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Chazz demanded. He stood in front of Suzy, who was looking confused. Lopmon was in Chazz's shadow, out of sight and looking guilty. Suzy couldn't see him, although Chazz shoving his face into hers might have helped.
"Tell you what?" Suzy asked. Behind Chazz, Lopmon shifted uncomfortably.
"That Meinumon should have been one of the 13 Devas! Or, more specifically, the Cat Deva!"
