I was so excited to type this HILARIOUS (and somewhat heartwarming) chapter… It features DA, Taichi & Agumon! (Hahaha, Agumon will get really unloved here… Well, literally xD)
DA: I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS! YAHOO!
RDvm: Nah, I'll skip on with that for now…
DA: YOU INSOLENT…! GRAAAH! PREPARE TO DIE!
RDvm: E-EH? But… I'm just gonna…!
DA: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
RDvm: AAAAAAAH! [runs away]

Chapter 9 – "Taichi's Mysterious Friend"
~Morning~
Taichi: Ah, I feel refreshed! It's the time to get up again & face the world! Right, Agumon?
Agumon: YEAH! (Without a dark, evil & ugly creature coming with us, of course…)
DA: …Are you talking about me?
Agumon: Eh?
DA: I read your mind. You said that you'll go without a dark, evil creature coming with you. If that's me… Then you will die. [draws out its gun] I shall kill you for your words.
Agumon: AAAAAAH! TAICHI! I TOLD YOU THAT DA'S AN EVIL CREEP! Let me finish him, please!
Taichi: Come on now, guys. Since we're all friends, we shouldn't be arguing about each other!
DA: [replaces his cloak] Leave me out of this. I don't want friends, right? Get on with it.
Agumon: AND I'M NOT GONNA BEFRIEND THAT EVIL DIGIMON WITH A TRICK UNDER HIS SLEEVE! HMPH!
Taichi: Ehehe… Well, we should have breakfast first before anything so… Shall we?
DA & Agumon: HMPH!
~ o ~ o ~
DA: [looks away from Agumon] *munch, munch…*
Agumon: [stares madly at DA, eats messily] (You evil monster trying to get Taichi…!)
Susumu: So, uh… Who's this new friend in a cloak?
Taichi: Oh, ahaha… It's… A Digimon friend of Agumon's! Right, Agumon?
Agumon: [suddenly chokes his food] *cough, cough* SERIOUSLY? But Taichi-
Taichi: [forcefully puts all of Agumon's food into his mouth] Hahaha, yes Agumon! Seriously, HE IS YOUR FRIEND! Well, Okaasan, Otousan, he's getting along with our new friend, actually!
Agumon: *cough, cough* Okay, OK!
Yuuko: Say, what is your name?
DA: Do you have to know? Hmph… [walks away]
Yuuko: Well… Your friend sure has a heart of stone. In the way he speaks, actually…
Taichi: B-but… We don't know him well yet.
Agumon: Hm!
Susumu: Make sure you don't get hurt, Taichi. We don't know what that Digimon has in his mind.
Taichi: Yes, Father…
~Moments later…~
Taichi: Woohoo! The coldness of December can be really felt from now… C'mon, Agumon, DA, let's go for a stroll!
DA: …
Agumon: Yahoo! Taichi, are we going to eat in a restaurant?
Taichi: Hahaha, that's for later. We're heading for Yamato's 2nd Christmas Concert…
DA: (Such dumb Digimon. I hate it when those chosen Digimons say that… They sound that they aren't worthy of being "Chosen". Heh.)
Agumon: (I have to get Taichi away from that DarkAkumon! With that, I shall implement my plan A!)
~ o ~ o ~
~In a Taxi…~
Taichi: Now, now, you two. When will you stop this argument…?
DA: [fixes cloak, holds it in place] It doesn't matter where I'll sit. Go on.
Agumon: (Good! BECAUSE I WILL KEEP TAICHI AWAY FROM YOU!) Oh, Taichi! You better sit at the side, with me at the middle! [pushes Taichi inside the cab]
Taichi: But, that's not such a good idea…
DA: Well then. I'll just sit at the other end. [goes in the taxi]
Agumon: YATTA! I GOT TAICHI FOR MYSELF!
Taichi: [covers Agumon's mouth, whispers on his ear] Agumon, this cab doesn't permit pets!
Agumon: But I'm not a-
Driver: Hey, you weird animal. Get out of my taxi RIGHT NOW! [kicks Agumon off the taxi]
Agumon: WAAAH! T-taichi, how about me?
Taichi: Sorry Agumon, you just have to walk for now! The show's gonna start shortly! Bye!
Agumon: TAICHI! [wails while running after the cab]
~At the Concert grounds…~
Agumon: (I failed… But I should not lose hope! Time for Plan B!)
Taichi: So, Sora, what's Yamato going to sing today?
Sora: I've heard that he'll sing his songs on the TEEN-AGE WOLVES' "Tobira" single. And they're great!
Taichi: Really? Then I bet that this concert will rock more than last year!
Sora: Speaking of which, who's that cloaked guy you're with?
Taichi: Oh, just a Digimon Agumon & I befriended.
Agumon: NO HE'S NOT! You might want to say "your friend" rather than "our friend"!
Sora: Agumon sounds like he really hates that Digimon so much, Taichi…
Taichi: Aww, Agumon, he's not doing anything bad to you!
Agumon: But, Taichi! I know he's an evil Digimon! TRUST ME!
Taichi: Oh, the concert's about to start!
Agumon: EH? (Then I just have to take THAT GUY FOR GOOD!)
Yamato: Hashiridasou dare no tame demo naku tomatteru yori mashi dakara
Toumei na kuuki kirisaite mabushii ano umi ni mukatte
Oh keep on running keep on running
Find out your reality
Atarashii tobira no mae de gusugusu shiteru hima wa nai
Josou tsukete tobidasou ze sono tobira keriagete
Kimi ni datte kitto dekiru…~
The whole crowd stood up on their seats, indicating that they have totally enjoyed Yamato's singing & his song!
Audience: Cool! Great, Yamato! [clap hands]
Fangirls: YAMATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Taichi: Yeah, Yamato! Rock on! Wait a sec… Agumon, where are you? Oh, and DA too!
Sora: Eh? Is that "DA" the one with a cloak wrapped around its body?
~ o ~ o ~
Agumon: Hey, you! Scram, or else, I'll have to battle you as WarGreymon!
DA: Heh… Then, how will you evolve without your partner?
Agumon: Ehehehe… (DA's right, I need Taichi to digivolve… WHAT WILL I DO?)
Taichi: What's happening here?
Agumon: Baby Flame!
DA: [dodges the attack] (F-fire…? I… didn't notice this before… *gulp*)
Taichi: Oi, Agumon! What are you doing? Stop attacking DA! [pushes Agumon]
Agumon: T-taichi! I-
Taichi: Are you okay, DA? Agumon's quite in an aggressive mood today, so I hope you understand…
DA: Hm.
Agumon: Taichi… Huhuhu… [turns to white, fades away]
~Later, at the streets…~
Taichi: Now, then, we're going to the amusement park!
Agumon: Cool! (Hmph, that DarkAkumon… HOW WILL I EVER GET RID OF HIM?)
DA: Watch where you're going, you little squirt.
Agumon: Hrr…
Suddenly, a car sped up near them, heading for Agumon…
DA: I said that you watch where you're going! Get on here!
Agumon: I DON'T CARE!
Taichi: Eh? [looks at behind] Hey, I'm waiting for you to catch up! What's the matter? A-Agumon!
DA: WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME? [pushes Agumon out of the way]
Taichi: DarkAk- I mean, DA! [runs to DA] Are you okay?
DA: You thought I will be hurt that easily? I'm not as pathetic as you humans… Nngh… [covers his scratch on his leg]
Agumon: TAICHI! I have a wound… *sob*
Taichi: Aww, Agumon, but that's just a little wound. Look, DA's more hurt and…
Agumon: WAAAH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
DA: I can stand on my own. Go help your insolent partner wailing over there.
Taichi: But, DA… C'mon, let's go! Hehehe!
Agumon: But what about me? NO! (Taichi's choosing DA over me! I have to counter it… Or else… I MIGHT DIGIVOLVE INTO THAT EVIL DIGIMON AGAIN!)
~At the amusement park…~
Taichi: So, DA, where do you want to ride?
DA: I don't like this kind of things. Decide on your own.
Taichi: Oh… Right.
Agumon: WAIT FOR ME, TAICHI!
Taichi: Wait, I thought you can't stand the pain anymore…? How did you run so fast & didn't return to our apartment?
Agumon: Aah… Well… I recovered in a very fast way! Maybe, Hahaha…
Taichi: Well then, now where do you want to go, Agumon?
Agumon: Matte, are you letting me choose? YAY! I want to go in that volcano!
Taichi: Anyway, Agumon does wield fire-based powers, so I'll get into that.
DA: (*gulp* I-IN THAT VOLCANO? Don't say that we'll get into that thing…! EEP!)
~ o ~ o ~
~In the Volcano attraction…~
Agumon: Wow! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Oooh, I'm gonna light up that torch! Baby Flame!
Taichi: Hehehe, it's good to see you happy, Agumon, but… Don't you think that you could burn this place up accidentally?
Agumon: Huh? [notices his surroundings] EH? THE WHOLE PLACE IS ON FIRE!
DA: [turns to white, staring at the burning place] (THIS IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE… EVER…)
Taichi: Uhh, DA, you okay?
DA: *gulp*
Taichi: C'mon, we have to get out of here before anyone spots us! [drags DA]
DA: Fire… FIRE… I HATE FIRE…
~ o ~ o ~
Taichi: So, you're scared of just… a fire? [lights a matchstick] Even just a flame from a matchstick?
DA: K-keep that away from me! I HATE FIRE! My previous experiences led to my trauma of fire!
Agumon: (Hehehe… Now I know that DA's scared of my own specialty! MUAHAHAHA!)
Taichi: A-agumon? What are you thinking?
Agumon: N-NOTHING! Hahaha… [sweatdrops]
Taichi: Hey, I think you did this in purpose to scare DA, don't you?
Agumon: N-no I didn't! It was just an accident!
DA: I knew it! That pest meant to do that to me!
Agumon: WHAT? WAAH! [runs away]
Taichi: Aww, we should be heading for the restaurant for dinner! Too bad Agumon ran away…
DA: Hmph. [fixes his cloak]
~At the restaurant…~
DA: Hey you, the Chosen Child of the Crest of Courage. I can buy food on my own. Leave me out of this.
Taichi: Aww, come on, DA! It doesn't hurt to eat outside once in a while with a friend, right? I'll trwat you!
DA: I HATE FRIENDS. And I want to do things my own way. I can take care of myself. I get food for my own…
Taichi: Well then, where's your money for evidence?
DA: Ahahaha… Oh… [sweatdrops] H-here… [hesitates, shows only 1000 yen]
Taichi: Eh? 1000 Yen? But that's too small! Does it mean that you steal when you can't afford to buy your meal?
DA: H-hmph…! But… Y-yeah… I did manage to do such a lowly thing… TO STEAL…
Taichi: Oh… But don't worry! This is free for you, so you can eat all you want!
DA: Hm. (This boy… He sure is outgoing. He even tolerated such Digimon like me with an ice-cold heart! But it doesn't matter. At least I would be able to accomplish that voice's mission give to me…) [eats silently]
~While on the way home…~
Taichi: DA, may I ask you something?
DA: As you wish.
Taichi: Umm, DA… What is your gender, exactly?
DA: G-gender? Do you even care about that? What do you think?
Taichi: Male… Well, as you have noticed, all of us address you by the word, "he", well, most probably because of the way you move, speak, and many more. That's why all of us thought you're male… So, are you a boy?
DA: Hmph… Male, huh? Actually… I… I'm female…
Taichi: WHAT THE? FEMALE? I didn't expect that!
DA: Y-yeah… It's not that obvious, is it?
Taichi: But, you act like a boy, talk like one, and…
DA: But since you know the truth, there's no point of saying that now.
Taichi: O-oh… Hahaha… [blushes]
DA: Hmm, why are you blushing?
Taichi: W-well… I'm not used to go outside with female friends like you… Only with my little sister, actually…
DA: …Sister? You have a sibling?
Taichi: Y-yeah… But I'll tell you more about her when we get home.
~Taichi & Hikari's bedroom~
Taichi: I… want to know more about you DA. As my friend.
DA: Sigh, how many times will I say that I HATE FRIENDS?
Taichi: S-sorry… But, may I?
DA: H-hmph… O-ok… It isn't wrong, right?
Taichi: I know that your personality you have shown to me isn't your natural self!
DA: Well then, do you want to see my true self? I bet you wouldn't like it…
Taichi: (W-why did I say that? If she's actually an evil Digimon… I'm doomed! I-I hope not…)
DA: This is the true DarkAkumon…
Taichi: *Gulp!*
DA: MUAHAHAHAHAHA! WORLD DOMINATION! THE WORLD IS MINE! IF YOU WOULDN'T ALLOW ME, I SHALL START A WAR AND END IT BY MYSELF! Without fire, of course… WHAHAHAHA!
Taichi: Wow, you sure are crazy inside. Hmm, I wonder why you hide that natural part of yourself all these times…
DA: Why? 'CAUSE IT'S EMBARASSING, DON'T YOU SEE? WHAHAHA!
Taichi: Umm, DA, you can calm down now. That's enough…
DA: Oh. That Digimon of yours sure is a rude one… He didn't even show respect to a girl like me!
Taichi: That's because Agumon didn't know that you're a girl, right? Hehehe…
DA: [giggles] Hahaha…!
Taichi: Hey, you just… Giggled! You laughed so cutely, DA!
DA: M-me? [clears throat] Ehem, IT'S NOTHING FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT! HMPH!
Taichi: Aww, DA! Admit it; you're not such a cold-hearted Digimon!
DA: HMPH… [gets on Hikari's bed]
Taichi: Well, good night, DA! Sleep tight…
DA: Heh, same to you, Chosen Child…
Taichi: (Hmm, I wonder where Agumon went...?)
DA: Sigh… I'm starting to feel better with him… Am I starting to let myself be a friend to others? So, this is how friendship really about… Hehehe, poor Agumon… Hm, I should be sleeping by now… I hope it could be another day for us to deepen our friendship!
Unknown Voice: Wait a minute, DA. You've been going too far. But, I shall allow you to go beyond my orders, but REMEMBER your true mission.
DA: True… Mission?
Unknown Voice: Remember, DarkAkumon! Remember the true purpose of your mission!
~Flashback~
Unknown voice: Now, DA. If you want to save yourself, then follow what I will say to you!
DA: U-ungh… T-then, what is it…?
Unknown Voice: This is what you will do: Trick that boy into trusting you, then betray him! You should get his holy Device, which is the "Digivice", in order for you to gain more power, and you can also try absorbing his Digimon. Then, do the same for F.A… But you should only get his Spirit. Try befriending him too, and when you had broken your friendly relationship with him, he will surely break into a million pieces, and will never move on! MUAHAHAHA!
~End Flashback~
DA: Oh… I should betray him… W-well, okay… Got it… Just for the sake of my life… Then I shall do it…
Unknown Voice: Very well indeed. Now, prepare for your obligations for tomorrow, or you shall face the consequences!
DA: H-hai… (I hope that Taichi will forgive me… Just when our friendship truly started… Sigh…)
Now that more of DA's true personality is revealed, what is she up to now? Is she going to side with Taichi & develop their friendship? Or will she betray him as ordered by her "Creator"? See how events turn out in, "The Struggle for Free Will! DA's Suffering"
DA: So you readers have discovered…
…that I'm actually a girl.
RDvm: And they have discovered that you're actually a crazy warfreak scared of a simple fire! Hahaha!
DA: SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOT BEING A GENTLEMAN, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?
RDvm: Oh, sorry… Ms. DARKAKUMON!
DA: D-don't call me "miss"! Argggh!
RDvm: Anyway, what's the next chapter all about?
DA: Can't you read? It's literally a struggle of free will and my suffering!
RDvm: …You just said the title in a different way, DA.
DA: I had to prevent giving spoilers, y'know that? I won't spoil the readers' experience!
RDvm: I wonder who of the two of us is the one that the people really likes…
DA: HMPH. It should be me! Or else… I'LL KILL YOU!
RDvm: W-wait, death threats aren't fair!
DA: Heh. Well, a strong Digimon does fight fairly… So, yeah. =P
Me: Well, stay tuned for the next episode! (I'm getting addicted to Digimon Xros Wars/ Season 6's new evo song, X4B THE GUARDIAN! This is one of the 3 best Evo song for me, with the others being The Last Element and BRAVE HEART! ;)
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! See you on the next chapter! ^_^
