Chapter Four: Destination…
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
Last time:
"Hello! I'm Patamon, nice to meet you Impmon."
"Hiya flying pig." Impmon greeted, Patamon gasped and glared at the rookie... But didn't stay mad long due to the fact he could see Impmon was joking. TK rolled his eyes.
"I think we need to get some sleep now."
"Aww... but I just got here." Impmon whined but was grinning, but it was getting pretty dark out.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
TK rolled over, groaning as sunlight hit his closed eyelids, shifting his face away from the glaring morning light. Opening his eyes part way he saw Gary and Impmon talking in hushed tones.
"Good morning TK!" Patamon said cheerfully.
"Hey Patamon, how'd you sleep?" Patamon stretched his wings out and smiled.
"Better then they did, they kept watch last night." Patamon said with a puzzled look as he glanced at Gary and Impmon.
"Oh…" TK blushed, he had slept like a log while Gary and Impmon had kept them safe.
"Hey the blond and his pet are up." Chirped Impmon cheerfully.
"Hey TK, sleep alright?" TK nodded, and Gary covered his mouth to yawn.
"Did you get any sleep?" Asked TK, Gary shrugged.
"Enough." Gary said shortly.
"Me an Gary are gonna go fish, there is a river not far from here. Best times to fish are early morning and evening." Spoke up Impmon in a know it all tone.
"Great, we will get fruit and such." Said Patamon grinning. Impmon scrunched up his nose but didn't comment.
"We'll met up near noon, okay?" Said Gary, with that he and Impmon disappeared into the forest.
"Wonder what's up with Gary?" Wondered TK aloud, Patamon flew up onto TK's head.
"They talked a lot last night, I tried not to listen but I heard Gary ask about going back to that Pokemon place." Explained Patamon as he directed TK to a promising fruit tree.
"Oh…" Sighed TK as he and Patamon gathered fruit and put it into TK's hat.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
" Gary?" Impmon asked as Gary quietly set to work on making a crude fishing pole.
"Yea?" Gary looked at Impmon tilting his head.
"Why do you want to go back to your Old World if you were so unhappy there?"
Gary sighed running a hand through his hair.
"Where else would I belong?"
"Here. With TK, Patamon and me." Said Impmon as he crossed his arms, and Gary put the line in the river.
"What about my sister? And Ash?" Impmon sighed as they had gone over this before.
"Right now TK needs you more." Impmon said upset. Gary grinned and ruffled the fur on Impmon's head earning an annoyed look from him.
"I know Impmon, I don't plan to leave till this is resolved."
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
After TK had collected a hat full of fruit he went back to the camp. Gary joined him a half an hour later with about a dozen-gutted fish.
"So what are we going to do with all this food?" Asked TK, having satisfied his hunger with some of the fruit he had eaten.
"We'll fry the fish so they don't stink." Muttered Gary, also having eaten some fruit Impmon had collected in boredom.
"And the fruit?" TK said doubtfully glancing at it.
"Eat it on the way, it won't last long." Explained Gary eyeing the fruit TK had collected.
"How far away do you think the others are?" Asked TK gently rubbing behind Patamon's wing.
"I don't know, we should follow the river through so we'll always have fresh water to drink."
TK grinned glancing at Gary.
"You sure do seem to know a lot about surviving alone."
Gary rolled his eyes and TK blushed.
"Its common sense mostly, and I've had practice when I searched for Pokemon." Gary remembered when the cheerleaders had left refusing to go farther into the wilderness, and his own stubborn self, refusing to be beaten by Ash had continued alone.
"Hey, TK do you have someplace to go here? Somewhere safe that the others wouldn't know about or guess you'd got to?" Gary questioned softly.
" Primary Village, its where Digimon are hatched, we know its guardian Elecmon." TK tells Gary tilting his head in thought.
"I guess we go there then. Do you know where it is from here?" Shrugging TK yelps and jumps to the side as Impmon throws a fireball at his feet.
"What'd you do that for?" Patamon says glaring at Impmon, who gives Patamon a foolish grin.
"He wasn't thinking fast. Sides we need a fire to fry those fish." Impmon says giving Patamon his best 'innocent' look.
"To answer your question Gary," Interrupted TK before the two Digimon got another chance to start a fight.
"I think its not finding it we need to worry about its our intentions toward it."
"Oh?"
"Yea, Ken, he was once a bad guy we fought who called himself the Digimon Emperor. Anyway his Digimon died, and he went looking for him, I think Primary Village finds those who need to find it."
TK explained helping Gary put sticks through the fish to fry them. Gary shot Impmon a sharp glance when he smelt burnt rubber from TK's shoe.
"So should we rest here for the rest of the day and in the morning set out for your Primary Village?" TK nodded in agreement with the plan.
By the time they finished frying the fish it was evening and Gary decided not to fish again in favor of eating and sleep.
"Hey Gary?"
"Yea?"
"Patamon told me you and Impmon had kept watch last night so me and Patamon will keep watch tonight, alright?" Gary shrugged and put the left over fish bones into the fire, moving so that the fire still kept him warm but didn't risk the chance of anything catching fire.
Impmon's golden green eyes gleamed at them but he curled up against Gary's side. Neither Patamon nor TK knew he was asleep or resting. But as TK rested against a near by tree he could've sworn he heard Impmon whisper 'thanks'.
AN: Sorry for the delay but hope you like the new chapter.
