Chapter 9 Blackwargreymon's Planning
Twilight began to show on the traveling two. The lights had begun to set off a fiery orange and yellow lighting. Blackwargreymon looked up at the sky as it had begun.
"Looks like this is a far as we are going to get today. We better make camp."
"Yawns sounds good to me." Kira replied. "You want me to get the food this time?"
"No ill handle to food, you can set up the fire."
"Alright."
Blackwargreymon went off in search of the food while Kira picked up wood and set up a fire. By the time she had gotten it blazing really good Blackwargreymon returned with the food. Once again they both ate in silence deep within their own thoughts. Finally Blackwargreymon spoke up.
"Kira"
"Hmm"
"Why did you fight that Gazimon instead of running away?"
"Every fight ive tried to walk away from I always ended up more hurt than I would have been if I just fought to begin with, so in time I just always fought. Guess that instinct still kicked in even though I was up against an opponent I couldn't beat. Just wired in I suppose."
"That does make sense, but you didn't call for me when you could have."
"Guess im not used to someone having my back. In truth in that moment I forgot I had you as a partner."
"Hmm."
"Besides I hate showing weakness. Being a damsel in distress so to speak, is not me. You can understand why hearing my story im sure."
Blackwargreymon looked to his human partner. She was so much different that he expected. He had expected to get a human that always got in trouble and always expected him to be there. No. Kira tried so hard to take care of herself. But she did not fool him. He saw that Kira wanted someone to help so let her guard down. She for once wanted someone to care for her, if only a little. Looking at her he could see that look in her eyes as she poked the fire with a stick. A longing for a trust worthy friend that had evaded her in her human life. Blackwargreymon closed his eyes and thought. She truly does need me, and I vow to be there for her.
Kira looked up at Blackwargreymon. "You okay?"
Blackwargreymon opened his eyes and looked to her. "My apologies I was just thinking on what you said."
"Oh." Kira looked back down to the fire.
"You know Kira it is alright to let your guard down some. I am here to protect you."
"I know, its just…."
"Just what?"
"….Nothing, forget I said anything."
"Kira.." Blackwargreymon warned.
"Don't worry about it. Im just tired and not thinking straight."
"I doubt that."
Kira didn't answer she just stood up and walked to a soft area of grass a little farther away from Blackwargreymon. She layed down with her back towards him. In truth she knew exactly what she was thinking. I just hate a powerful being like him has to waste his energy on someone as weak as me. That's what she was about to say but held her tongue. She curled up hoping Blackwargreymon would bother her about it anymore if he thought she truly was tired.
Blackwargreymon of coarse knew better. He sensed Kira was holding more burden than she could probably bear. She just did not want him knowing. He would know soon enough but he knew he'd have to trick her into saying it. So Blackwargreymon left her be. She would tell him, one way or another. He would just be patient and devise a way to get it out of her. Pretty soon he heard the slow breathing as she fell asleep. He then took off his arm armor and moved closer to Kira. Being near but again not touching her. He soon fell asleep.
Few hours later
Blackwargreymon awoke to hear moaning. He looked and saw that the moans were coming from Kira. He propped up on one arm and leaned in to look at her face. Her face was scrunched up in fear and she started talking in her sleep.
No stop please. She was silent for a few minutes then she spoke again. He wont come. In not worth it.
Blackwargreymon froze. That's what she meant. That's what Kira was thinking. She believed because of what her family put her through that no one would believe she is worth anything. Blackwargreymon was shocked. Never did he think she felt like that. Of coarse it made since why she tried so hard to be strong. She believed no one will ever want her so she prepared herself for the worst. Blackwargreymon shook his head. This is not acceptable. I will teach her she is worth something. No matter what it takes or how long. She will learn. Kira started to moan again and squirm a little. Without a thought Blackwargreymon reached over and gently rubbed her shoulder. The touch actually calmed her down and Kira ceased to moan or squirm. Blackwargreymon smiled to himself. That's what she needs. Not a sturdy or rough touch. But a gentle one. Instead of lecturing she will need to be taught through actions like this. She will of coarse object at first, but the more I push this the more she will open up and accept it. Maybe then she will trust me fully and allow me to protect her without complaint. With that plan rooted into Blackwargreymon's head he scooted closer and left his arm drape over Kira gently and soon he was asleep again.
Will Kira warm up to Blackwargreymon? Or will she stay guarded? Find out more next time.
