Chapter 3: Questions

A young girl with pink hair and violet eyes checks her bags. She wanted to make sure she had everything. Clothes? Check. Slippers? Check. Toothbrush? Toothpaste? Towel? Check, check, and check. Cell phone and favorite hair tie that Bloom gave her?

The young girl gasps as she realizes that she didn't have it. She rushed to her night stand in hopes of finding it. Much to her relief it was. Now what else should she take with her to Japan.

Taichi sits with Yamato, in Koushiro's room, as they discuss about the younger generation. Miyako, Hikari, and Takeru had been acting strange all week. Hikari was contently locking herself in her room. He heard her talking quietly when he passes her room, but when he asked what she was talking about she would say it was nothing.

Yamato had mentioned a similar experience with his brother. However, his brother was more meaner in a way. He was contently talking about Daisuke. Takeru even seemed to be taking charge, which didn't make sense since Daisuke was the leader. Well that was how it was suppose to be anyway.

Sora was currently talking about Miyako. Something definitely was not right. Miyako was acting more colder and meaner then she usually is. She was snapping more and more. In addition to badmouthing Daisuke. Something was definitely off.

Taichi was getting a bad feeling. He had tried to talk to Daisuke, but he seemed distant and not willing to talk about the others. He talked about Ken though, which is not a surprise since Daisuke has been complaining on how he was going to ask Ken out and find out if he liked him back.

With a sigh he looked at Joe as he talked about his encounter with Iori. Even Iori was not acting like himself. He seemed more angry and contently saying that Daisuke needs to be disciplined if he wants to be a good leader or if he even wants them to respect him.

Taichi had no clue what was going on, but it was not good.

Daisuke looks around as XV-mon flies above the town. He had gotten a call from the leader of that town. A lot of the holy digimon lived in that small town. He frowns as he see the buildings broken or burned.

"What could have happen?"

"I'm not sure Daisuke. We should see were everyone is."

Daisuke nods absently as XV-mon flies down to check for any digimon. Daisuke's eyes travels from one destroyed house to another. He wasn't sure how this happen. Over the last couple of weeks he has been gaining allies amount the digimon. He had managed to unite many villages and towns under him.

Ken doesn't know of this of course. It wasn't time. Though he was glad that Ken was distracted with the preparations of his cousin's visit. Ken's mother has been over planning for the week long visit and has been making Ken help her.

Ken was very sweet and did everything he could to help his mother. It must have been awhile since Ken's mother seen her older sister.

"Daisuke look!" Daisuke was shifted out of his thoughts by his partner. Daisuke looks at what he was pointing at and he gasped. Under a pile of rubble was the elder of the village, Holy Angemon.

"Roxy, are you ready?" Roxy turns from her bags to face the door. Roxy smiles at her mother. Morgana was a tall woman. She had long brown hair that ran passed her waist, brown eyes, a slim green tank top, blue jeans, and sneakers.

"Yeah I'm all packed. But,"

"But, what?"

"Bloom called. The Winx want to know if they can come to."

"Roxy I don't know. My sister is only expecting the two of us. And you're suppose to be hanging out with your cousin."

"I know but they really wanted to meet him. I may have told them that Ken is a faerie too." Morgana didn't looked convinced. "They got permission already and got the tickets for the plane from the headmistress."

"Alright, but tell them to be there on time. I don't want to miss the flight and have them do some research on Japanese customs and language. Japanese citizen are very polite people. I don't want to accidentally insult them." And with that her mother left.

Roxy smiles as her mother leaves. She reaches for her phone and calls Bloom.

"Hey Bloom...Yeah she said it's alright...yeah...okay...My mom said to make sure you girls read up on Japanese customs and language...Why? Japanese people are very polite and we wouldn't want to offend them...Okay...Yup...Great...My cousin? Well, he said he was going to meet us at the airport. I should tell him that you girls are coming too...Yeah I guess it's alright...Okay...Sure...That should be everything...Okay, I see you girls in a bit then...Okay! Bye!"

Roxy hung up the call and opened the application to text her cousin. She knew Japan was like eleven hours ahead and she wasn't sure what he was doing at the moment. Roxy figured that texting would be the best option. If he is busy he will see it later.

"He called himself the Kaiser." The elder digimon told him. "He attacked when we refused to give him what he wanted."

Daisuke frowned. He had flashes of when Ken was evil. The Dark Spore and BelialVamdemon influence doesn't affect him anymore. It couldn't have been him. Besides Ken was on earth with his mother. They were doing some extra shopping just in case.

"Ken didn't do this." Daisuke mumbled his thoughts.

Holy Angemon gave him a confused look. "You misunderstood me. It wasn't the Child of Kindness. The Child of Kindness didn't came to the Digital World today I believe."

"He's shopping with his mother today. They're preparing for the arrival of his aunt and cousin from America."

"That explains why he hasn't come today." Holy Angemon said.

"But this Kaiser...?"

"I fear to tell you that he is not human like the Child of Kindness. He is radiating with so much dark energy that it was overwhelming."

Daisuke frowned. It couldn't be him, could it? "Was he a Dark Faerie?"

Bloom sits next to Stella on the bed as they are given a brief lesson on Japanese culture by Tecna.

"Japanese people are very polite people. When meeting unknown people or acquaintances they call you for example: Stella-san. If they know you as a friend or family member they call you for example: Bloom-chan or Timmy-kun. Now if they are a couple they use the -chan ending as well for both or when there is great affection."

"I didn't realize there were so many endings in Japanese." Bloom said.

"It's not that hard to remember." Musa said.

"True. Roxy said something about bring slippers and a...Kimonos?" Bloom wasn't sure what that was.

"According to my research you switch form your outdoor shoes to slippers when entering a house. But that depends on the family if they follow that tradition." Tecna said as she glance at her portable computer. "The Kimonos is a traditional formal silk robe that is worn during the winter festival, ceremonies, weddings, funerals, and at fine restaurants."

"Oh Kimonos! Don't worry girls I got this! I will make the best Kimonos Japan has ever seen!"

"You do that Stella." Musa said with a smile as Bloom gets up from the bed.

"Come on girls we should stop by Ms. Faragonda's office before we leave to the airport. I have a feeling this is going to be some trip."
