Crysta walked along the busy streets of West Shinjuku, listening to her MP3 player. She was headed to the Shinjuku School to pick up the kids that she looked after, Ai and Mako. Soon the school was in sight and Crysta picked up her pace. As she got closer, she spotted a person leaning against a tree, arms crossed and one foot on the tree trunk.
He was tall, around six or more feet. He had on a skin-tight black leather bodysuit that showed off his muscular build and black combat boots that ended just below his knees with silver spikes on the end, a gun in a holster was strapped to his left boot. He also wore a black leather bomber jacket that ended at the top of his two black belts that he had around his waist. The jacket had skull designs on the shoulders, a white fur collar, arm guards strapped to the wrists of his gloves, which ended at his elbows, and a bandana tied to the left arm just below the skull design. Two small brown belts were strapped to his right leg, close to his thigh. A dark purple helmet covered most of his chalk white face from his nose up and ended in spikes to reveal his spiked bleach-blonde hair. He had fangs, a metallic tail. His fingers were covered with metal that made it look like he had claws. His three slitted piercing ruby-red eyes filled with curiosity as they rested upon her.
Crysta was suddenly filled with a curious fear as she walked by him. She could feel his eyes on her. Trying her best to ignore him, she walked over to one of the benches and sat down.
BRING!
Ai and Mako came out of the school and ran towards Crysta but stopped suddenly.
"BEELZEMON!" they cried in unison.
Crysta turned around to see the strange creature walking towards them.
They ran to him and he picked them up, hugging them tightly. "Hey kiddoes. Miss me?"
"We sure did. When did you get back?" Mako asked excitedly, tugging on his jacket.
"Just taday actually."
"You know this thing?!" asked Crysta, slightly shocked.
"Of course." Ai replied, smiling. She hugged Beelzemon.
"He's our Digimon." added Mako.
"A what? I thought they were just made up creatures."
"Didn't ya watch the news last month, when the D-Reaper attacked?" Beelzemon asked.
"Uh, no."
Beelzemon rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Humans." he muttered.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothin'. C'mon let's get you guys home." he said, turning to walk away.
"Hey! I'm comin' with!" Crysta said.
"Why?"
"Because I'm their babysitter and boarding at their house. My name's Crysta."
"You are?"
"Yes."
"Ok." Beelzemon said, shrugging.
They started walking.
"Ai, Mako, what do you want to do today after homework?" Crysta asked.
"MOVIE AND POPCORN!" they shouted happily.
Crysta smiled. "But that'll have to wait until after dinner. What do you want for dinner?"
"Raman!" Beelzemon said.
"I meant the kids."
"Hey, my vote counts too!"
"Not if they choose otherwise, yours doesn't."
"But we want Raman too." the kids said quietly.
"Ok, Raman it is then." Crysta said reasonably.
"Yay!" the kids shouted.
After getting through the door of the house, Crysta ordered the children to do their homework first, before anything else.
"AWWWW, but we don't wanna!" the children whined.
"C'mon Crysta, let 'em play for a bit." Beelzemon said.
"NO! And that's my final answer!" Crysta said, folding her arms.
"Please? We promise to get all our homework done right after we're done." the kids pleaded.
Crysta sighed. "Alright, but only for 15 minutes. Then you two have to do your homework, Ok?"
"Yes, Crysta." they said and ran off to the backyard.
Crysta watched the kids and Beelzemon playing tag as she fixed dinner.
"Those kids. They are such trouble sometimes, but ya gotta love 'em." she said to herself and smiled.
A little while later after everyone had their stuff done; they were sitting in the living room with a big bowl of popcorn watching a movie. The movie was beginning to bore Mako, so for fun he flicked a piece of popcorn at Ai, hitting her in the head. She looked over at him suspiciously, but he gazed at the TV innocently. Ai turned her head back to the TV. Mako flicked another piece of popcorn at her, but it missed and hit Beelzemon instead.
"Hey, who threw that!" he demanded.
"Ai did it!" Mako said, pointing accusingly at Ai.
Ai glared angrily at him. "No I didn't. He did."
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
Mako picked up a large handful of popcorn and hurled it at Ai. Ai threw a large fistful back at him, some of it hitting Beelzemon and Crysta. Crysta and Beelzemon started to throw popcorn too, thus ending in a popcorn war. But it wasn't much fun after the war ended since they had to clean up all the mess they made, but after they were done, they sat in the kitchen and ate Popsicles.
Crysta looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 7:59.
"Alright kids, time for bed." She stood up.
"AWWW, but we're not tired."
"Hmm, I'll read you a story if you guys promise to go to bed."
"Really? Yeah!"
The kids jumped up and, throwing their Popsicle sticks in the trash, ran into their bedroom.
They were dressed and in bed by the time, Crysta walked in. She walked over to the bookshelf in the left hand corner of the room and took a book out. She walked over, sat on the edge of Ai's bed, and started reading to them. By the time she finished the first chapter the children were fast asleep. Crysta marked her place, put the book on the bookshelf, and turned off the light. She walked into the living room and sat on the couch next to Beelzemon, who was flipping through the channels on the TV.
"I can't believe there's nothing ta watch on any of these channels!"
"Aww, poor thing." Crysta said with a small giggle.
Beelzemon glared at her. "Kids asleep?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Yep."
Beelzemon's eyes widened in astonishment. "Oh wow. You're kiddin' right?"
Crystal shook her head. "What's so strange about that?"
"I always have a hard time tryin' ta get 'em to go to sleep. They always have an excuse ta get back up."
"I never had that kind of trouble with them."
Beelzemon continued flipping through the channels. "Never anythin' on this stupid thing." he grumbled and turned off the TV, tossing the remote on the coffee table and watched it skid to a halt at the very edge.
"That's why I don't watch much television," Crysta picked up a word search book and a pen. "I'd rather do word search puzzles."
"Let me try one."
"Ok, here ya go." she ripped a page out of her book, grabbed a pencil, and handed them to him.
"Ugh, how do you do this thing?" Beelzemon asked as he looked it over.
"Simple, you look through the jumbled up letters for words that are in the list and circle them."
"Oh."
By the time she was finished with her puzzle, Beelzemon was asleep, having given up on the crossword. Crysta took the paper and pencil from him and set them on the table. Then she picked up her sketchbook off the table and started drawing in it.
The next morning Crysta walked the kids to school after breakfast; while Beelzemon still slept. Crysta walked into the house and found Beelzemon flipping through her sketchbook, which she had left open the night before. "Do you like them?" she asked, sitting down next to him.
"Yeah, but strangely, this one looks kinda familiar." he replied, pointing to one of her dragon pictures. It was a large, lightly colored dragon sketch. There was a strange design on its hindquarter, but it was too small and lightly colored for Beelzemon to make out.
"Yeah, it just came to me one day while I was bored."
Beelzemon frowned. Hmm…It looks kinda like Catastrophe. Valamon…God I miss you. He sighed.
After they had an early lunch, they sat outside under the shade of an oak tree while Crysta listened to her MP3 player.
After awhile, Beelzemon dozed off. He woke up just as Crysta was getting ready to get the kids. "I'll do it," he volunteered, getting to his feet.
"Alright. Bring them straight home."
"Where would I take 'em?"
"They've been askin' to go to the park recently."
"Oh."
After Beelzemon brought them home, the kids went to play in the backyard while Crysta started on dinner. Beelzemon sat at the table watching her.
Crysta turned to Beelzemon. "Hey Beelzemon, could you go tell the kids that they have to clean up their room? It looks like a cyclone went through it."
"Sure," He got up and walked outside, where the kids were playing under a tree with their toys. "Guys, come on ya gotta clean your room!"
"But we don't wanna!"
"Sorry, but ya gotta."
The kids started pelting acorns at him. "NO!"
"Hey!" Beelzemon put his arms defensively in front of his face. "Stop that!" He walked over to the kids and picked them up.
"HEY!" they cried.
Beelzemon glared at the children. "You pipsqueaks are in SO much trouble. Just wait 'til we get inside."
Beelzemon took them inside and made them clean their room and, after they were finished, he glued them to separate corners of their room by their shirts with super glue, and then went to go see what Crysta was doing.
"Beelzemon! You can't leave us here! BEELZEMON!" Ai called after him.
"Yeah, come back!" Mako added.
Crysta heard the kids yelling and went to go see what happened when she ran into Beelzemon.
"Why are the kids yelling?"
"I glued 'em to separate corners of their room for throwin' acorns at me."
Crysta's eyes widened. "YOU WHAT?! Oh great, now I have to unglue them." She grabbed a pair of scissors out of the top drawer in the kitchen and walked to the kids' room. She entered the kids' bedroom and started cutting the back of their shirts. After she had them free, she gave them new shirts, took the other ones into the kitchen, threw them in the trash, and put up the scissors. Then she finished dinner.
