Disclaimer: Wow I finish the last chapter really quick and I'm hoping to finish this one in the same amount of time but I doubt that's going to happen, at the moment I'm not even completely sure what's going to happen next chapter but oh well. Oh by the way I keep forgetting to remind you I don't own Digimon but I could see why you'd think I did XD.
Chapter 5:
Misconceptions
TK sorely got up off the floor and limped over t the window. He looked down and waited until a tear stained Kari exited the front doors and started to smirk, 'Why the hell did you do that, you are sick!' a voice screamed at him from inside his head. "Come on you can't say you didn't have any fun," Devimon snickered as he crossed his arms and leaned against the window sill and continued to watch the girl walk down the street, 'Sure if by fun you mean traumatizing my now x-girlfriend and getting kicked in the privates then yeah I had a lot of fun," the true TK responded in a sarcastic tone of thought. "See you did have fun, and I had fun listening to you scream 'No' 'Stop' 'Get away from her'. Even if I had gotten her to go through with it that would still be the best part of the whole thing," the blond mocked as the brunette below turned a corner and disappeared from sight. He then turned around and headed for the door, passing by his shirt that still laid on the ground, 'Now what are you planning to do Devimon, chase her down?' the voice yelled in his head, "Of course not, I'm just going to get something to eat, if you haven't noticed I'm starving," TK told him as he rubbed his stomach just a few inches below where the Crest of Hope hung.
Meanwhile at Hypnos Headquarters
Yamaki watched as his subordinates worked to find a specific digimon that they discovered escaped from the digital world a few days earlier. Ordinarily they would have ignored it considering that since the attack from the D-Reaper in the past, Hypnos has converted into a team specified in studying, not destroying digimon but this one was strange. It appeared to have a high power level and yet as it entered the human world it seemed to immediately disappear from radar, making it almost impossible to pinpoint where it emerged. "Yamaki we've just discovered some new data which you may find interesting," one of the agents said as he approached him then led him over to a computer monitor whose screen was completely covered in stats., "It seems that the portal was opened in a different way then usual, we believe it may have been opened by a human from inside the digital world"
"Are you telling me that a human purposefully released this creature into the human world? If that person managed to learn how to control it they could easily take over our entire world," the blond man hypothesized as he began to read the data.
"Actually we've come up with a different theory, we believe that this human may have even been possessed by this digimon and was used to enter the human world, and if that's true it would explain why it's not showing up on our radar," the scientist explained to his superior.
"But how is that possible, the last time a human was possessed buy a creature from the digital world it had to keep its core within the digital world but there was nothing left behind," countered Yamaki inn a serious tone.
"Yes but the D-Reaper was not a digimon, in this case we believe that the data of a destroyed actually entered the person's body and more then likely encoded itself in the electrical impulses which are created buy our minds to control our bodies, store memories and such things. The worst part is that, according to our observations, the more often the digimon takes control of the human's body the quicker the encoding process goes and if the data is not removed from the human before it has been giving the chance to fully encode itself within the mind, removal of the data will become fatal to the host," the man informed him in a worried tone
"How long will it be until the process is complete?" Mitsuo asked in a calm voice.
"Well if the digimon has been in control this entire time then you'll only have till Friday," he told Yamaki but watched as he began to walk away, "Where are you going Yamaki?"
"I need to make a phone call," the blond replied as he lifted his shades and inserted his hands into his pockets.
First Period the Next Day
Takato walked into the classroom to find Kari asleep at her desk. He went over and sat on Yolei's desk which was on the right of Kari and began tapping on her on the shoulder, "Hmm… what…. Kato what are you doing in my room?"
"You have a bad night's sleep?" Takato smirk as the girl began to stretch out.
"Yeah, I kept on having these dreams about TK, and in these dreams I'm back at TK's apartment and everything keeps happening all over again and right as he starts taking off his shirt I'd wake up sweating heavily and with the strangest feeling that I keep forgetting something," Kari explained using large hand motions.
"What do you think it is?" the teenager asked concernedly as he wrapped his arm around the girl.
"Well if I had any idea I would have told you," she laughed but suddenly seemed more serious again, "But I feel like if I could only stay a sleep a little bit longer I'd remember. Enough about what happened yesterday; did you get any information from your 'mystery contact'?"
"Well sort of, when I got home there was a message on my answering machine from him, he said I should meet him after school today," Takato informed her but only received skeptical looks.
"What a lucky coincidence your secret source that knows about someone you only met last week just happened to contact you last night," Sarcastically stated Kari. She turned her head as she heard the sound of the door opening and finally faced what she feared, "Oh no it's TK, I think I'd better move. I don't feel safe knowing he's sitting right behind me."
Takato watched as then girl picked up her books and moved to the desk on her left, he followed her and sat down at his own desk which was now right behind her. The blond seemed to walk over a quickly flash a confident smile at the brunette then turned towards Takato and leaned against his desk, "Hey Takato, what's up."
That Afternoon
Takato walked in silence besides TK as they exited their Pre-calculus class. They didn't seem to speak to one another much the entire day but not from lack of trying. On many occasions the blond tried to strike up a conversation but always seemed to get a reply with three words or less. The brown haired boy turned left towards the exit and realized TK was no longer with him, he turned around to see him walking in the opposite direction, "TK where are you going, the exit's this way."
"I'm going to the weight room, figured since I'm back on the market I'd might as well improve my image," the teenager said then flexed him almost nonexistent muscles.
'Good, at least now I'm sure he'll be out of the way,' Takato thought as the two parted ways. After fifteen minutes of walking and one elevator ride, the boy approached a door and pressed the doorbell, 'Please let this be the right door, please let this be the right door.'
He watched as the door knob began to turn and was soon face to face with a blond haired man, "Come in Takato, there's something we need to discuss," he said then lead the teenager over to the coach then sat in a chair adjacent to it, "I'm sure you're wondering why I've asked you to come here today…"
"Yeah well actually, the thing is I kina needed to ask you something see…" Takato interrupted but the man continued on despite that.
"Well you see, it appears that a powerful digimon has recently escaped from the digital world, normally we would handle this ourselves but this one is different. We believe that it may have taken possession of a human body in order to escape from the digital world and enter ours," informed Yamaki as he interlocked his fingers.
"So what am I supposed to do about it, wait a second do you think I'm the one whose possessed!" asked the tamer frantically with widened pink eyes.
"No, this person obviously knew how to create a portal to and from the digital world which leaves us to believe that this person must have been what is known as a digidestined," the government agent saw the confused look on the boy's face and began to explain, "The digidestined are human's who are destined to save the digital world, which means you are one as well only a different kind. About eight years ago a digimon entered our world and threatened to destroy it but was stopped by the original eight digidestined, this event was what lead to they creation of Hypnos. Accordingly two of them were said to be around the age of seven or eight Now what to tell you what I need for you to do theses two would be around your age and were believed to live in this area, I need you to find them and report back to me before Friday afternoon."
'Digidestined? Something about that sounds really familiar but I can't place my finger on it,' thought the bewildered Takato but then he realized something, "Yamaki how am I supposed to find them if I don't even know what they look like?"
"I was just about to get to that, according to witness reports, the digidestined should have something that looks similar to this in there possession," Yamaki said then handed the teenager a piece of paper with a crudely drawn digivice on it, "Well now that that's settled I suggest that you leave before my sister or nephew get home."
"Oh that reminds me; I meant to talk to you about TK. It's just that he's been acting strange since yesterday, and his friends are really worried about him so I was just wondering if you knew what's going on with him?" inquired Takato who immediately realized something was wrong as the blond man avoided his gaze and suddenly began to fidget uncomfortably.
"Well the thing is I believe that the reason why TK's acting so strange is that… his father has just announced… That he's getting remarried and I think TK's taking it really hard," the government agent sullenly told him then added, "But if you'd like I could speak to him about it."
"That would be great, I'd better get going, seeya later," the tamer said as he looked at his watch and stood up then walked to the door. When he reached the bottom floor he could hear the rumbling of an engine and quickly ducked behind the corner to hide. He watched cautiously from his hiding space as TK walked in the front door and seemed to be mumbling something under his breath. Takato waited until the blond boy entered the elevator before he made his dash for the door.
TK wrapped his hand around the cold metallic doorknob on his apartment door and found the door was unlocked. When he entered he found his uncle setting up what appeared to be a chessboard. "Hey Uncle Mitsuo, what's with the board game?"
"Oh TK welcome home, I just figured maybe you'd like to play," his uncle replied then indicated for him to sit down.
"Sure, but only if I get to be black," laughed the teenager as he laid down his backpack on the floor then sat across from his host's uncle then waited for him to make his first move.
Three minutes into the game Mitsuo finally decided to speak up, "You know when I was a kid my father would always take out a chessboard whenever he could see something was wrong, he said that problems always seemed to solve themselves over a game of chess. I always thought he was a little strange when he'd say that but he always turned out to be right."
"So let me get this straight, you're expecting that just because I'm playing this stupid game with you I'm just going to spill my guts," Takeru said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.
"Listen TK I'm just trying to help, believe it or not I do understand why your upset. I went through a similar phase when I was your age though my problem was that my father was constantly hitting on girls that were my age," Yamaki told him in an attempt to comfort his nephew.
"Wow some things never change," the blond boy laughed as he moved his bishop into position.
"Well now that I've opened up to you maybe you'd be willing to tell me more about what's going on in your head," Yamaki hinted too obviously as he move the rook out of it's corner.
"My personal affairs are none of your business," TK sneered as he glared angrily at the man.
"TK I'm just trying to help," Yamaki responded in a worried tone.
"We'll I don't need your help, I've got some homework to do," the teenager argued as he got up and grabbed his bag, 'Why am I getting so angry, TK's emotions must be getting to me.'
"Come on sit back down we haven't even finished our game," his uncle calmly implored him.
TK reproached the board and concentrated for a moment before moving his queen, "Checkmate."
The Next Morning
Takato anxiously waited outside of the school until he finally spotted Kari and ran to her side, "Kari I found out what's wrong with TK; his father is getting remarried."
"Oh my God, the poor guy. No wonder he's acting so strange lately, he must be crush!" Kari exclaimed as she pushed her bangs out of her face.
"So does this mean that you two will be getting back together?" asked Takato awkwardly as he began to blush.
"No, no matter what happened to him there's no excuse for what he did, besides I found someone better Taky," the brunette giggled then kissed her unofficially boyfriend. Takato grabbed her hips and felt something inside her pocket.
"Hey is that a walkie-talkie, who's on the other end," the boy asked as he felt the object.
"Oh that, well the thing is… um… hey isn't that TK? I'd better get out of here," Kari replied nervously then ran away.
"Hey Takato what's up?" TK asked as he approached his friend.
"Nothing, actually there is something. I found out about what happened last Friday," Takato informed his now shocked friend.
"How do you know?" the startled blond asked.
"That's not important, the important thing is at least now I understand why you've been acting so weird and I just want to say it will be alright and even if I don't understand I'm still really sorry about your Dad getting remarried," the boy told him, avoiding answering the question.
"Oh, Oh yeah that, I know it's awful, come on let's get to class."
Finally finished, this chapters a lot longer then normal but I don't think it's that good. At the moment I don't have much passion since one of my friends told me she doesn't want to talk to me any more ;; oh well please R&R
