CR: Is evil.
Sora: Not my fault about the bathroom being remodeled. We do not own Digimon.
Chapter twenty-five: Rika's Secrets
Leiko gasped, her eyes growing wide. This was a new Digimon. It was a armor humanoid from the waist up with a skull for a head and a scaly serpent down. She quickly scanned it using her Gestalt.
"Adimon. A digimon that thrives in darkness, his Snake Armor will make you unable to move and he'll finish it with his Serpent Sword."
It was then that this Adimon rushed forward, slithering towards the stage at max speeds. Davis gulped, ushering his fellow band members off the stage. Davis dived off of the stage and out of the way as the Digimon rammed the structure, causing it to collapse. The Goggled boy gulped; this guy wasn't playing games. The Digimon came spinning around to find Davis wide eyed. Adimon came smashing down with his arm, only to be blocked by a shadow that threw itself in front of Davis. It was another Digimon, one that Davis did not recognize and one that his Gestalt could not scan.
"Shattering Darkness!" The shadow yelled, a red flash coming from it's eyes. Adimon fell backwards, gripping at his face. For a second, Davis saw through the gaps in his fingers and was horrified by what he saw. Adimon's face... it was gone! Ate away, almost as if by acid.
"Kuroimon, that's enough..." A voice spoke out, Davis looking for it from his position on the floor. Standing no more than ten feet away in the deserted concert hall was a boy no older than he was. The boy had black hair, and for a second Davis could have sworn that those now emerald eyes had been pitch black. Davis was also sensing something. He swore that he had felt it before. Just where...?
"Hey, nice to meet you. Name's Tsumi. What's your's?" The boy asked him, walking over and helping him up. Davis brushed himself off before he answered.
"Name's Davis. Nice to meet you as well, Tsumi. Is Kuroimon your Digimon?" Davis asked him, straightening out his clothes. He looked over at the quickly decaying body of the defeated Digimon and quickly looked away from that horrible sight.
"Yeah, he is." Tsumi followed Davis' previous line of sight, seeing the data dispersing from the body as it laid where it was. Tsumi looked away from it, what emotions showed in his eyes. Disgust, hatred, and fear...?
"Thank you, you two, for saving my sorry ass. My Digimon is probably asleep back stage." Davis let out a nervous laugh. Tsumi snickered softly as well, his digimon drifting in the air next to him like a piece of light, the only difference being that Kuroimon was darkness. A shadow that moved and fought, as the Digimon laying on the floor had found out first handed.
It was then that Leiko came running over. She ran to Davis and hugged him, not seeing him blush for a second. Tsumi sure saw it, though. He smirked a bit, a evil feeling that Davis did not like.
"Oh, is this your girlfriend?" Tsumi asked, that little smirk almost filling up his entire face.
"N-no! T-this is Leiko! S-she's not my girlfriend!" Davis stuttered out, his face going to a nice shade of magenta. Tsumi snickered a little bit.
"Davis, who's this guy?" Leiko whispered to him from the hug. Davis blinked before answering.
"He says his name is Tsumi." He whispered back, just so quietly so that Tsumi could not hear. Leiko bit her lips before answering.
"I don't like him..." She whispered, pulling out of the hug. Davis scratched his head a bit, pondering over Leiko's dislike of the new Tamer, "Nice to meet you, Tsumi." Leiko told the new Tamer, keeping her dislike under the surface. Tsumi shook Leiko's hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Leiko." Tsumi said, and for a second Davis swore that those eyes were pitch black. He shook his head and looked again. Now those black orbs were green again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davis walked into the living room, shaking his head. What was wrong with him, he was judging someone he had just met! And yet... that aura of darkness... Davis paused suddenly, his eyes fixed on his brother. His oh-so-dear brother, who at the moment, was hanging from the coat rack. He must have gotten one of the girls angry.
Davis walked over and looked Taijin in the face, "So, who did you get mad?" Davis asked him, pulling his brother's collar off of the hanger and letting him drop. Taijin quickly got to his feet and straighten out his clothes.
"Er... It was Rika..." Taijin muttered. Davis cocked an eyebrow at his brother.
"Why did you get Rika mad?" Davis asked him, blinking. To get a girl mad was one thing, but to get Rika mad... well, that was a different story all together.
"Takato asked me to do it." Taijin said, scratching his head in puzzlement. Davis blinked and went off to find Takato. He found the Goggled kid in his room, grinning while reading an unmarked book.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moments later...
"You had my brother get Rika angry so that you could steal her journal!" Echoed through the bakery, along with a thunk, "Pray tell, why the hell did you do that!" Davis now had his dear cousin held up by his collar. Takato finally kicked Davis in the stomach and landed on his bum when the Gogglehead dropped him.
"So I could get into her head! Her birthday is next week and I can't ask her what she wants, so I have to find out another way!" Takato yelled back, climbing to his feet. Davis just shook his head, not believing what he was hearing.
"You know, there's other ways of finding that information out. One way is to NOT steal her journal!" Davis yelled at Takato.
"But she doesn't talk to the other girls, and she doesn't tell anyone anything, and I just wanted to get in her head... And is that such a bad thing!" Takato pleaded, his eyes getting a little glossy coat to them.
Davis growled before answering. "Yes! You could have gotten Jun to ask her! You know that they're friends!" Davis told him, shaking the boy by the shoulders, "We've gotta get rid of this before Rika finds you with it!" Davis looked down at the journal, his curiosity coming to life. He slowly opened the book to see Rika's neat perfect handwriting.
'December 28, Today, Takato did something really stupid. He was chasing Taijin in the street and slipped on some ice. He fell and hit his head hard on the pavement. I almost pitied him. Almost.'
Davis snickered at the words, Rika really did have a wicked sense of humor. He flipped to another entry.
'December 31, Takato asked me out! And I said yes! What's wrong with me? But he is so cute...'
Davis' eyes bulged out of their sockets at that entry. His cousin had asked Rika out and she had said yes. Now, why he didn't know about this, he had no idea but he was planning to find out. He turned to Takato with his trademark evil look.
"You asked Rika out?" Davis asked him, his eyes shining with an light. Takato suddenly felt afraid of what his cousin was thinking.
"Yeah. Why are you looking at me like that?" Takato asked him. Davis grinned evilly and leaned in, ready to give his cousin an idea for the gift.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rika, meanwhile, was searching her coat for her journal. She couldn't find it and was starting to get worried. She had with her when she had left Takato's, she was pretty sure. Rika scowled, turning her coat pockets inside out again. A few yen, some pieces of paper, gum wrappers, and pens. But no journal. The red haired girl growled, stomping off to find her Digimon.
She found Renamon curled up in a corner with the computer's manual. Apparently the Digimon had been trying to play games again and couldn't figure out how to turn on the human machine. Rika shook her head at Renamon's lack of skills with machines before getting the Digimon's attention.
"Renamon, have you seen my journal?" Rika asked her, searching the room for the evasive book. Renamon shook her head, not looking up from the instructions, "Hell." Rika murmured, scowling.
"Did you leave it over at Takato's?" Renamon asked her, raising her head from the manual.
"No. It was in my coat pocket when I... Did... They pickpocketed me! Those little brats!" Rika almost shrieked, her mind already coming up with ways to get back at the house of Goggleheads.
"Are you sure that they stole it?" Renamon asked her, getting to her feet, "You might've dropped it."
"I'm pretty sure that I didn't." Rika told her, chewing on one of her knuckles. Renamon sighed, hating it when her partner acted like a little kid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsumi walked forward, his eyes glowing in the darkness. What a feeling of power, this power that allowed him to do what ever he wanted. His Digimon floated beside him, quite. This power of Darkness. Before him waited the one that had gifted him with this power. A creature of Darkness, with his own world of Darkness. Tsumi came before this creature and kneeled down in front of this Dark lord.
"Tsumi, what have you learned?" The creature asked him, sipping from a silver chalice in his hand.
"I have learnt that the girl, Leiko, she can sense your Darkness, my lord. What do you wish for me to do?" Tsumi murmured, keeping his eyes on the red velvet carpet under his knees.
"Watch her. The boy too. Davis, is that his name? He has interfered with too many of my plans to go unpunished. We shall wait till the time when we can strike without resistance." The creature leaned forward on his throne, "After all, this world is so much more weaker than the others." Tsumi looked up and wished he hadn't. The creature, he could see it's face. That pale skin, those sharp fangs. Oh, what a vampire this one was, "That boy, he shall pay for hindering Myotismon's plans!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leiko slept restlessly. She tossed and turned as her dream turned from one of happiness to one of darkness. Her dreams now where of dark places, places that she had never been and places where she never wanted to go. These places were barren lands, full of dark shadows that twisted and turned, shrieking. Leiko shuddered, her eyes snapping open. She sat up in her bed, wiping the sweat away from her forehead. As cold as it was, that dream had made her sweat.
She looked about her room, her eyes fluttering over the many piles of clothes. She saw her partner sleeping on top of her dresser, the little fairy gently snoring. Leiko sighed, plopping back onto her pillow. Tsumi... What a dark aura such a young man gave off.
