Disclaimer: Sorry I wrote an extra chapter of MB cause I got 7 reviews for chap 1. Hopefully though I might finish this chap in two weeks cause now I've got motivation. Sorry I'm blabbering, oh and remember, owning Digimon do I not.
Chapter 11:
Something
As TK arrived home and began to unpack his duffle bag, he could feel a lump in the inside pocket. Curiously he unzipped the pocket to find a passport and a large wad of cash, "Hey Mom, did we take this bag with us on our last vacation?" he yelled to his mother in the living room.
"Maybe, I don't recall. Why do you ask?" Nancy called back to her son.
"Oh no reason," TK replied as he laughed silently to himself, 'God I'm getting paranoid.' He reached for the money to put away when his eyes went glassy as they had the night before. Devimon lifted the money to reveal the dark digivice that was hidden beneath it, 'That was close, the kid almost found it.' He crawled on his back under the bed to place the digivice in its hiding place, between the mattress and its wooden frame, scratching his elbow in the process. As he scooted out and was about to return to the position TK was in before he took over, a blond man burst into the room.
"TK I've got good news, come into the living room. I wanna tell you and your mother at the same time," Mitsuo told him. Realizing it wasn't a good time to switch back, Devimon decided to try out his new TK impression. He followed his uncle into the living room then sat down next to Nancy on the couch, "Well now that you're both hear I can finally tell you, I found an apartment."
"Really? Thank God, I thought you'd never get out of here… I mean, we'll miss you so much Mitsuo," Mrs. Takashi told her brother, then wrapped him, in a big hug.
"So when are you moving out?" TK asked, partly out of curiosity, partly trying to think of what the true TK would say.
"Tuesday, if you want you can help me pack," Yamaki said, hoping his nephew would take the offer so he could slack off.
"No that's ok, I know how much it means to you," the teenager said with a taunting smile then returned to his room.
"What about you sis, wanna help?" Mitsuo snickered making his sister laugh.
"Sure, right after TK," Nancy smirked then returned to the kitchen to wash the dishes that were piled in the sink.
Back in his room, TK bent down near his bag and reached out his hand towards the money. He went into a daze then grabbed the money. As he pulled it out he noticed a small sting coming from his right elbow and saw that the skin was peeled and raw, 'When did that happen?'
The Next Morning at School
TK watched depressingly from his desk as Kari and Takato continued to flirt playfully with one another. He wondered if this was how Davis felt all those times it was him and Kari in that situation. But that was the least of his questions. He felt as though something was wrong with his head, he'd been blanking out for over a week now and he kept getting the feeling that there was something he needed to know, "It's disgusting, isn't it?"
The blond looked up to see Davis turned around in the seat ahead, snickering, then remembered the couple sitting next to them, "Yeah, it is."
"Something wrong? You seem more bummed then usual," Davis said with an uncharacteristic concern.
"Oh it's nothing, just my head. It's been a bit screwed up for about a week now," TK said, not wanting to go into detail for fear of sounding like an idiot.
"Really like what?"
"Well it all started last Sunday night, I remember waking p in the middle of the night and I was already getting a glass of water. It was weird, I don't normally sleepwalk but I guess I never really thought much of it. But ever since, from time to time I'll be doing something then… blank. Next thing I know it's like half an hour later."
"Dude you're probably just daydreaming. It happens to me all the time in History… and Lit… and Science… and Spanish…" Davis was beginning to ramble when hi friend cut him off.
"I don't think that's it, I mean just last night my uncle was packing up his stuff and when I asked him what was going on, he told me that he had told me earlier that he found an apartment and for the life of me I can't remember and it's freaking me out," TK whined, on the brink of tears as he tugged at his tears.
"Dude calm down, I bet you're just not over the shock of being possessed and this whole Kari and Takato thing yet. I bet that if you just get back on the horse again and start dating, this whole thing will just blow over."
"You think so?" the blond asked. His best friend only nodded and gave him a thumbs up, "Well Takuya did say that this one girl might be interested in me, maybe I'll give her a call."
8:20 PM (12:20 PM France time) the Next Day
TK and Catherine gazed awkwardly at each other as they got off TK's motorcycle. He blond girl smiled at her date as she removed TK's only helmet. She attempted to grab his hand on there was to the restaurant but the boy pulled away, "So this is where you work, TK?" the girl asked in fractured Japanese.
"Yeah well after the whole Devimon epidemic, I kinda had to make some money to pay back my dad," TK explained but the girl had a confused looked on her face.
"Quoi? What?" Catherine asked in her native tongue.
TK sighed as he opened the door for her, "Never mind."
They walked together up to the front where the maitra de (can't spell) stood, "Takeru what are you doing here, you're not supposed to work until tomorrow."
"Actually Namito, I'm here on a date. You mind sending us Yuuichi, she's French and doesn't speak much Japanese," the blond boy informed him.
Namito nodded and led them over to a table for two in the corner, "Your waiter will be with you in a moment."
"Merci," Catherine said as she took in her surroundings, "Oh TK this is so romantique!"
The girl gazed dreamily at her date as he casually answered, without meeting her gaze, "Well I figured you might feel better in a place that spoke your language. That's why I asked for Yuuichi, he's majoring in french in college."
"Well, merci T…" the French girl started but was soon cut off by the waiterwho had just arrived.
"Bonjourno I'm Hiro and I'll be your waiter this evening," he said in an unenthusiastic tone.
"Oh Hiro um I guess for now I'll just have Sprite for now, what do you want Catherine," Takeru asked his date.
"Oh, je voudrais d'eau," Catherine smiled at Hiro.
"Huh? Dude is your girlfriend crazy or something, cause she's talking gibberish," Hiro replied as he hed back a laugh.
"No it's called French, and she said she'd like some water."
"Sheesh, grumpy much," the waiter retorted then walked off.
"Are you alright, TK?" she asked the blond who was rubbing his temples.
"Yeah, that guy just pisses me off. The only reason he has this job is because his father owns the restaurant, not that my mom didn't get me my job to, but I've taken five years of French at least," TK rambled on as Catherine tried to follow.
"Well then why don't we eh… leave, I don't want to make you… upset," she smiled as she gathered up her purse.
"No I'm sorry let's just enjoy the evening," TK smiled but she continued to gather her things.
"Well truthfully, I was a little upset when you told me we'd be going to a French restaurant anyway. They are like an… insult to ma culture. This menu is filled with French stereotypes, even in France only the, eh how do you say… weirdos eat escargot," She admitted with a coy expression on her face that made TK smile accidentally.
"There's a boardwalk about a half an hour away, want to go?" the boy smirked as the girl smiled and they made their way to the entrance.
11:48 PM
The two teenagers were smiling and laughing as they entered the boy's room, "That was so much fun TK, especially that one that…" Not knowing the right word, Catherine made circles with her hands.
"Oh you mean that one that went upside down, yeah that was fun," the child of hope smiled excitedly then noticed the daze, happy expression on his date's face.
"I guess this is goodnight," Catherine blushed as she stared into the boy's blue eyes.
"Yeah I guess this is," Takeru's face went red and before he knew what happened, his lips were pressed against hers.
"Wow TK," his date smiled amusingly then held out her Digivice to TK's laptop, "Au demain!"
TK stared at the screen for a few seconds before he began to remove his clothes. That night TK went to bed happy for the first time in almost two weeks, unaware of the events that would unfold the next day.
Sorry this chapter turned out shorter then I expected but oh well, it was mostly filler anyway and it only took me two weeks to write. Well I'm off to write another chapter for MB. Seeya later.
