Sora: I puked. It was not fun... I think I might be sick.
CR: Oh no, not that! She has always been the most miserable patient.

Sora: Yeah, well, whatever. Now on to the disclaimer! I do not own Digimon. There. Now on to the story! Oh, and Akira Bane is once more my beta...

Chapter Fifteen: Too Cute

Davis was sound asleep. When a Gogglehead is that deep asleep, not even a herd of stampeding oxen can usually wake him up. Something was different this time, though. For some reason, Davis couldn't shake this creepy feeling... The boy suddenly sat up in his bed, his Gestalt blazing with brilliant electric blue light. At the foot of his bed there was a wispy figure in black floating in the air.

Sensing his partner's distress, Veemon woke up, his eyes slightly glowing. The figure looked at the two and dropped something onto the bed before it dissipated into nothing. Davis quickly crawled down to the end of his bed as Takato finally woke up.

"Davis, what's wrong?" Takato asked him sleepily as his cousin sat back with something in his hands. There in the palm of Davis' hand was a small pendant. The charm was in the shape of a trapezoid with the two bottom corners missing a long triangle shaped wedge from both of them. In the middle of the trinket's face, there was a small icon etched into the metal.

This was an icon Davis knew quite well. He had seen it in the Eastern Quadrant a number of times. This etching was the symbol of a mysterious power called Miracles. Davis promptly started to gape at the tiny pendant.

This one small ornament was a crest. Crests were devices that were used to power up one's Digimon and they were also extremely rare. Only a few of them had ever been found, and Davis was pretty sure that this one was not on the list of those that had been found.

This crest could quite possibly be a fake, but something in Davis' gut told him otherwise.
-----------------------------

The next morning Davis was woken by a strange sound. It sounded like a call of an animal, but no beast that Davis knew of made that particular annoying sound. Davis peeked open an eye carefully and let out a startled yelp at what he saw.

Sitting on his chest was a little white and purple creature. It's ears were huge and long with the edges being violet with a pale interior. On it's forehead was a strange symbol and it's eyes were a bright dazzling green.

"Calu?" The thing cocked it's head to the side and flew across the room as Davis tumbled out of bed.

"Dai, what's wrong this time!" Asked a newly awake Takato as he sat up, "Oh, hi Calumon. Meet my cousin Davis, he's staying with me." Davis turned and looked at his cousin with wide eyes.

"You mean, you actually know this thing! Er, why it it looking at me like that?" Calumon was coming closer to Davis and suddenly jumped onto his arm.

"I'm not a thing! My name's Calumon!" The little Digimon told him in a sing-song voice. Davis' dark brown eyes started to become wide and then he shuddered.

Getting up, Davis brushed Calumon off gently and went to the bathroom muttering about washing off cuteness germs. Takato rolled his eyes at his cousin's antics and turned to the little Digimon.

"So, what brings you to West Shinjuku?" Takato asked the little creature. Calumon started to bounce up and down.

"Because everyone's here! It's no fun in the DigiWorld without the others! I think I'll now go see Rika!" And with that the little creature flew out the window. Takato once more shook his head before heading down the stairs.

---------------------------------------------------------

When Takato saw Rika at school, she looked less than happy. Actually, the last time Takato had seen her like this was when she was in the Digital World without a shower for a week. To say the least, she had been grouchy that time. This time she was beyond pissed.

"I take it that Calumon woke you up?" Takato asked he as he snuck up behind her. Rika jumped into the air and came back down with a scowl. Turning around, she found herself looking at Takato's neck, rather close neck at that. She turned red at how close they were, Rika looked up at the gogglehead. Jun had apparently gotten a hold of Takato that morning and had dolled him up like she did her brother every morning. To say the least, Rika thought that Takato looked good as a punk.

"Y-yeah. He woke me up." Rika was desperately trying to get her cheeks from going even more red. Takato noticed this, chuckled, and decided to do something that would probably get his block knocked off. He leaned down, and quickly placed a little kiss on Rika's cheek before he got his ass out of there. Rika's hand flew up to her face, a shocked look on her features, her eyes blinking rapidly. That look soon turned to one of anger as she noticed everyone in the courtyard staring at her.

"Gogglehead! I'm going to kill you!" Rika thundered as she rushed after the fleeing boy. Davis chuckled at this scene from his perch in a tree. He had taken refuge up there to escape the crowds of his fan girls. When Davis saw his cousin again that afternoon, Takato looked like he had been mauled by a rabid dog. But oddly enough he kept on smiling. When asked why, all he told Davis was that he got to kiss Rika. Davis shook his head at his cousin and dragged him home, with the help of his oh so willing fan girls.

Davis was a very manipulative kid and he could get the girls to help him by looking them straight in the eyes with a deep look. Granted that they nearly swooned every time that he did that, but it was worth it.

When they arrived back at the bakery, they found Calumon in the middle of the bakery floor. As they entered the little creature started to fly around. He quickly settled back down onto the floor when a person came in.

Saito walked in, and paused seeing a little white ball in the middle of the floor. He walked over to it, Saito started to poke it as the two Goggleheads and Jun held their breath. Saito started to use the little ball, unbeknownst to him Calumon, as a soccer ball. Saito first bounced said ball on his head and then on his knee, he finally kicked it towards the door, where it was caught by a blonde man coming in.

"I thought Mie didn't let soccer balls into her bakery?" Yamaki asked as he walked towards the counter, after throwing the little white ball over his shoulder. Those that did know what that creature was heard slight cries of pain from outside.

The two Goggleheads rushed past the two best customers and out the door to rescue the little creature who was still going "Ow, ow, ow!" as it bounced down the street and into incoming traffic, which swerved to avoid the little white ball and caused a rear-end accident to occur. To say the least, within minutes there was a major fight happening out in the street about who's problem it was as the two Goggleheads watched holding a bruised little white Digimon.

Shaking his head, Davis started back towards the bakery. When he entered he noticed that Saito had made tracks and Yamaki was once more buying the place dry. Jun was sweat dropping as she tried to keep up with his order.

"Hey, Yamaki!" Davis rushed over to the hungry grown-up and pulled out the crest that he had found the night before, "What do you think this is?"

Yamaki took the pendant from Davis and started to examine it. "It's very interesting. Do you mind if I take it in for testing?"

Davis nodded, "Sure, just as long as I get it back."

"Yeah. Now, Jun, is my order ready?" Yamaki asked the panting teenage girl.

"Yes, Yamaki. That will be $53.95." Jun was silently sweat dropping at how much Yamaki would be willing to pay. Yamaki took out his wallet and gave her exact change.

"Bye Yamaki." Davis trooped up-stairs and fell down on his bed. The boy had decided to take a nap, he didn't even notice when he took off his shoes. He was shook awake a while later, Davis didn't even notice putting his shoes on, though Takato did a double take when he saw the said shoes on his cousin's still feet. He could have sworn that they had been on the floor a moment before.

"Davis, there's another gate-out in the city. Let's go!" Takato started to drag his cousin behind him as he headed for the stairs. Davis groaned finally opening his eyes as he started down the stairs after his cousin. The two grabbed Jun, who was in the kitchen gulping down bottled water. When Takato grabbed ahold of her wrist, she blew water out her nose and started to chase after her now fleeing cousin. Davis shrugged, picked up DemiVeemon, and followed at a much slower pace.

When the three and their digimon arrived down-town, they found the others already waiting for them.

"What took you so long, Gogglehead?" Rika asked them, still not looking too pleased with Takato. Davis rolled his eyes at the two and started to analyze the enemy.

"BigMamemon. He's an ultimate, a data type. His attacks consist of Big Smiley Bomb and Heavy Dive." Davis read off of his Gestalt. Looking up, he sweat dropped at what his enemy looked like.

BigMamemon was round as a ball with arms and legs. His hands were in red gloves while his feet were encased in black boots. His face was what one would expect to see on a cartoon mouse and on his belly below his mouth there were bandages taped.

To say the least, this Digimon did not look like an Ultimate, in fact he looked like he could be a Rookie. The children soon found out otherwise when the creature rushed them. Jun gasped, getting hit in the chest and was sent flying. She crashed into some trash cans and lost consciousness.

"Jun!" BlackGatomon yelled, before she lost her form and a bright light replaced where she had been standing. Davis threw his arm up in front of his face to shield his eyes from the bright light as BlackGatomon started to Digivolve.

"BlackGatomon digivolve to... Harlequinmon!" Harlequinmon jumped up into the air and came down hard on the Digimon that had hurt her partner. She kicked the little ball like creature into the air, the digimon kicked it up like a soccer ball and head-butted it. This send the opposing Ultimate into a building side. Harlequinmon jumped up onto a fire-escape and crouched on the edge, waiting for her prey to show his face. He did show his face, from underneath her as he sent a Big Smiley Bomb up the side of the building.

Davis watched this from where he was holding up his sister. She was out cold and he couldn't wake her up. He was also wondering how BlackGatomon had Digivolved into Ultimate without a crest until he remembered that in the Southern Quadrant things were different.

Harlequinmon flipped off of the railing and tumbled down the side of the building before she landed in a crouch on the ground. Harlequinmon rushed forward, jumping up at the last minute and slamming her heel into BigMamemon's face.

The Ultimate stumbled backwards from the attack and glared at the female Digimon when he regained his balance. He rushed forward, jumping up into the air and coming back down in a pose that reminded the children of someone doing a belly flop into a pool.

"Heavy Dive!" As BigMamemon came down, his weight increased. Harlequinmon back-flipped out of the way and spread hidden wings. They resembled butterfly wings, black on the outside and a light red on the inside. Harlequinmon then launched her own attack.

"Vanishing Act!" She faded from view, leaving her attacker pondering. She came out from behind him, the digimon struck a blow towards his neck. The impact sent the ball-like creature rolling down the street. Harlequinmon once more disappeared, this time coming out down the street where she stopped the rolling with her boot-clad foot. She smiled down at the downed Ultimate and from nowhere a small dagger appeared in her hand.

"Dark Impale!" Harlequinmon slashed downwards, her dagger glowing with dark energy as it split the round ball into semicircles. BigMamemon's data quickly dissipated and Harlequinmon walked back to where Jun was.

The Ultimate kneeled down and picked up Jun before she disappeared. Davis picked up Demiveemon and started to run back to the bakery. When he got there, he found his aunt fixing up Jun, who was already starting to recover from an Ultimate's blow.

Davis turned to Harlequinmon, who yet to de-digivolve. Her face was stoic and Davis got his first good look at the Ultimate. Her face was covered by a black mask that had large eyeholes shaped like almonds. The uncovered parts of her face was painted white, and underneath her right eye there was painted a single azure tear.

Her hair cascaded fiery red, falling in her gleaming violet eyes. Harlequinmon's top was held up by straps and it had a checker pattern on it. Down the middle there were large black and red designs that were not checkers but more of a vine design, the rest of the top had the checker pattern on it. The top went on to become a skirt that ended in the middle of her thigh. Over the skirt was a petticoat of some type, it was a deep burgundy red that sharply contrasted to the black of the other skirt. Davis could see tights going all the way up to the skirt that were held up by ribbons at the top. The ribbons twirled each time that Harlequinmon took a step, and her feet were covered by boots that ended at her ankles, the leather then was shaped like a newly opening bud of a flower bloom. All in all, she had fashion sense. The perfect Digimon for his sister.

Jun meanwhile was waking up with a headache. Oh, how she hated Mondays.
