Chapter 5 Getting to Know Each Other
The few hours went by and nightfall had begun to come. Kira had long gotten off Blackwargreymons shoulder and was now collecting firewood for a fire. Blackwargreymon had went off to get them both food, so Kira was left alone with her thoughts. The incident a few hours ago had put Kira's mind in a constant thought bubble. Now that she really had time to herself the thoughts only got worse.
Why is it when I finally feel like I am strong something or in this case someone always reminds me that I am still so weak. It has been years since….. No I must not think of that time. It is too horrible. Kira now have set up the wood got two stones and started trying to light the fire. Even though this ordeal is similar it is also much different. Before I was proven I was weak and was punished for it. I expected it to be the same with Blackwargreymon. But instead of leaving me or punishing me for being weak he actually helped me. Why? Is it just his duty as my digimon? Or does he actually care? No that cant be it. As Kira's thoughts raced the fire began to come to life. Soon it consumed all of the wood as her thoughts consume her entire head. Blackwargreymon's personality tells me otherwise. He is a proud digimon, and anything weaker than him he pays no heed too. But still he helped me. Again why?
Hearing rustling Kira turned her head to the side to see Blackwargreymon return with two handfuls of all sorts of fruits. He set the fruit down beside Kira and took a meditative sit on the other side of her.
"I didn't know what you might like so I got several different kinds. Im sure between us two it will all get eaten." Blackwargreymon said taking a large sized fruit for himself.
"Thanks this is good." Kira replied taking a piece for herself.
Both ate in silence for what seemed like hours. Kira was still pondering on her own thoughts. Blackwargreymon finished his last fruit he wanted and chanced a glance at his partner. She had her eyes focused on the fire and didn't notice his gaze. By her gaze he could tell she was deep in thought and wanted to know on what. So of coarse he asked.
"What has you so distracted Kira?"
"Huh?" Kira asked looking up at him. Being in her thoughts didn't quite catch what he meant.
"Your thinking deeply on something I can see that. I want to know what."
Kira looked down at her hands which were in her lap. "Just wondering. Why did you help me? You could have left me you know."
Blackwargreymon answered without missing a beat. "You are my partner Kira. I am bond to help protect you an any way I can. Including helping you when you run out of breath."
"So you helped me because you are duty bond too?"
"No. I helped you cause I wanted too. You are right I could have either left you or as you said we could have stopped. But then we would have lost travel time. Also I did see you worked hard to last as long as you could. But I did not carry you just because all that. Its because…. Well I am starting to care for you."
"But you don't know me."
"That may be true but this bond grows the longer I am near you. Even without knowing you I still feel close to you."
This seemed to puzzle Kira even more. Kira thought for a moment. Maybe that's why this time felt different. Despite my own rationality I too feel the bond between us. My mind is just getting in the way. Kire's thoughts were interrupted by Blackwargreymon speaking again.
"But you bring up a good point that we don't know each other. Maybe we should take this time to tell one another our stories."
Kira looked up at him and nodded a little. "Ok. How bout you first?"
"Very well." Blackwargreymon told Kira of how he first came to be by the control spires. They what all he did after he was created. He also told of the feelings he had during that time and what drove him to do this things. He ended his story on how he sacrificed himself to save the human world and that he was redeemed for doing so. " Then before I knew it I woke up about a couple of weeks ago as a true new digimon. I went first has BlackAgumon and evolved from there. I have stayed this way for a few days and have not changed since. Throughout that time I was told the reason I was recreated was my partner would reveal themselves and that it was my turn for a new beginning. So here I am as your partner."
"Wow sounds like you had a rough begging huh?"
"Yes I did. But it happened for a reason im sure and now I am a true digimon and no longer suffer from wondering why I am here. Now I know, even though I don't fully understand. Which is why we are going to a place where we can speak to a guardian and find out."
"That does make since."
"Now its your turn."
Kira was dreading her turn but knew since Blackwargreymon told his it was fair to tell hers. "Okay but I must warn you its not a happy one."
Blackwargreymon nodded. "Its ok, please begin."
Cliffhanger. What is Kire's story? Found out next time. Thought this would make it more appealing. Will post the next chapter soon.
