Chapter 15

One night, Yumi was watching a movie with popcorn, though she didn't eat any. Iinomon snarled at her whenever she tried. Yumi sighed as the movie continued, and her mother turned the TV off. "Mom!!" She whined, slumping on the couch. "You need to go to sleep. Take a shower and go." Yumi nodded, and left Iinomon in her room. After taking a hot shower, she went back to her room to find that Iinomon was using her D-Terminal. Yumi snatched it from her Digimon, and looked at the messages. Yolei wanted to go to the Digital World the next day, and she wrote, 'Sure. I can't wait!' before turning off her D-Terminal and setting Iinomon in her bed. She grabbed a book on old Japanese stories, mainly with ninja. She'd been obsessed ever since she first saw Endohmon. As she read, sleep began to claim her, and she soon fell asleep, the book open on her lap. The next morning she woke up to Iinomon reading the book. She smiled, tickled Iinomon playfully, and put the book away. She put on a dark blue t-shirt with a light blue flame design on it, with a white center, and jeans.

She pulled on her shoes before scooping Iinomon into her arms and leaving her apartment. She made it to the computer lab to see everyone there except Davis, and Obana was becoming impatient, holding Tsubasamon tighter and tighter as the minutes passed. Davis finally arrived, and they left to the Digital World. They were in what seemed like old Japan, and Miharumon looked around a moment, ears cocked. Yumi saw a Control Spire, and pointed it out to the others. Suddenly, Miharumon began to snarl, and Yumi looked at her questioningly before looking around. There were red eyes everywhere, and Yumi felt uncomfortable.

They revealed themselves to be Mushroomon and Floramon. Miharumon shot a Howling Inferno, and some ran off. Yumi jumped out of the way of an attack, and said, "Miharumon! There are too many!" "I can see that!" Miharumon retorted, shooting another Howling Inferno at a group of Mushroomon. "We can't possibly beat all of them!" Yumi said, dodging another attack. Hawkmon had disappeared, and everyone was running from an army of Floramon and Mushroomon. A Gekomon appeared out of a manhole and shouted for them to come. They all ran in, the last one going in being Miharumon. They soon reached the underground palace, and were before Shogungekomon and more Gekomon and Otamamon. They were begging for their help, and Yumi said, "Of course! We're all enemies of the Digimon Emperor!"

Miharumon agreed, and Shogungekomon said, "There's only one way to settle this!" "What?" A Gekomon questioned, and everyone looked at him. After some thought, he said, "Take a nap!" He went to sleep almost immediately, and Yumi said, "He's unbelievable…" Her eye was twitching lightly, but it stopped as they started planning what they were going to do. Suddenly, it seemed an earthquake struck, but it quickly passed. Miharumon's bristling fur relaxed, and a Gekomon ran in.

"Shogungekomon is destroying the city! He's got a dark spiral!" Miharumon ran past him, with Yumi beside her. They ran outside with the others, and saw him smashing the buildings to pieces. All of the Digimon Armor-Digivolved except Akiramon and Miharumon. As the others ran into battle, Miharumon said, noticing Shurimon go somewhere else, "We should follow them." Yumi nodded, and Akiramon Armor-Digivolved to Masahiromon, and Obana jumped on his back. "We'll help Kari and T.K., but be careful, Yumi." "Aren't I always?" Yumi said with a smile before running off with Miharumon. Masahiromon flew high into the air, shooting his Jackal Claw, and that's the last Yumi saw of them as they turned a corner.

They ran, and soon saw Shurimon and another Digimon fighting on a rooftop. Miharumon heard the Control Spire crumple, and heard Ninjamon say, "You can't defeat the best ninja in the Digital World!" Miharumon snarled, and she Digivolved all the way to Endohmon. "Hey, Ninjamon!" Yumi caught his attention. "I just wanted to tell you that the best ninja has arrived." He seemed shocked to see Endohmon appear next to Yumi, and said, "Th-That's impossible!" "Oh, it's possible." Yumi said, smirking. Endohmon used Leaf Hurricane, and Shurimon used Double Star. He was beaten down by the combined attacks, but, before Shurimon could finish him off, Endohmon said, "I'll finish this."

She took out some exploding tags, and did a hand sign. They glowed, and tightened around Ninjamon's small arms. She said, "This is what you get for trying to steal my title." His eyes widened as she did another hand sign, and the tags exploded. There was dust and smoke, but Endohmon didn't let her guard down. "I'll be back to take you down, Endohmon! Mark my word!" His voice said. "Try me!" She retorted, and Yumi said, "We need to get back to the others." Endohmon nodded as she picked her up and started running, with ninja speed, towards the others.

Shogungekomon was sleeping, and everyone was there. "We need to blast this off with everything we've got!" Obana said, and Masahiromon agreed. After Shurimon and Yolei got there, they all attacked the dark ring with their most powerful attacks. It was destroyed, and Endohmon relaxed, Dedigivolving to Miharumon.

Yumi smiled, saying, "You did a good job, Miharumon. I don't know how anyone could take your title." "He didn't. He thinks he did." Miharumon retorted testily. "Calm down! It was supposed to be a compliment." "Then thank you." Miharumon said. They soon left a happy city, and Yumi couldn't help but feel like they were being watched…
