No Name
By Dark Angel
I so do not own Digimon. I just own the poor idea, Dozu, and most of the teams that will be mentioned later. I do hope you like the story and plot!
I yawn, opening my eyes to find Jason staring at me. I blink a couple of times, trying to figure out why I am staring at Jason. Jason smiles and gets up and walks away. I sit up and get out of bed.
I dress in my work clothes today. I have a lot of work ahead of me. Time for me to catch a couple of hit men and catch me a man named Dozu. All the while I have to protect my friends and families from Dozu and the hit men.
Today, I have to face everyone after eight years. I'm not sure I am ready to see them all again. Especially Sora and Yamato, I don't know how to act around them. I am uncertain on how they are going to react around me.
I am not the same person I was before I left. I have changed much more than anyone else. I'm not sure what is going to happen at this meeting, but I hope nothing bad happens to anyone else including my friends.
"Machi, you have a few hours before three. You should eat and shower" speaks Mike coming into the room.
"I can't eat. So why did I wake up to Jason staring at my face?" I ask Mike as I get my things together for a shower.
"He was worried about you. He came in when you didn't wake up at your normal time. He also threw away your cigarettes. He believes you and Matt will get together before today is over with" speaks Mike.
"I don't know what is going to happen today" I say walking to the bathroom to shower.
Once out of the shower I head over to the part with Mike, Jason, Ian, and Juno. Each of us are dressed for action, although, Ian has his computer with him. We are ready to talk to them about what we need to do in order to keep them safe.
I will not let them die or get hurt because of me. I only wish I didn't need to be there because I don't know if I can handle seeing Sora and Yamato again. Even though I know they are not together because of me.
Sora most likely blames me and I don't have a clue as to what Yamato thinks about me. I sit where I had been sitting yesterday while waiting for Hikari to show up. Today I'm waiting for the others to show up. They should spot Izzadore out of everyone at the park.
"Izzy, there you are. Man it is so good to see you" smiles T.K. walking up to Ian.
"Good to see you too T.K. and Yukiko, the others are not here yet. You'll have to wait for the others to show up before we can get on with the introductions" smiles Ian letting them sit down.
"You know Ian, we have plenty of time to introduce everyone, you just don't want to introduce everyone a million times," I say knowing he won't give me away just yet.
"Shut up Machi or else I'll tell everyone who you are right after they get here" growls Ian going to meet the next two who have shown up.
"It's so good of you to come" smiles Ian hugging and talking to Cody and Yolie I think.
"Well, we would not miss seeing Tai again after so long, right Yolie" smiles Cody and yes I was right.
"Yes, we have a few words to give but other than that we want to know why everyone has been called here for" speaks Yolie sitting down on the bench a few feet away from me.
"I believe everyone will find out when they arrive, am I right Izzy?" asks a young man behind him.
Has to be Joe, because of the classes he is wearing.
"I don't understand why we are here?" growls Sora fixing up her hair.
"All will be explained in due time" smiles Ian showing them to a place to sit.
"It seems we are not the first ones here, oh well" shrugs a guy who looks like Daisuke.
"You were just hoping to find Tai and kick his ass in soccer Dai" smiles a purpled haired man that looks so grown up.
"Yeah but Ken baby, my skills are so mad and he's hiding because he doesn't want to face me. First thing I'll do is punch him in the face" growls Daisuke leaning on Kenji.
I stand up and smile as a blond haired man walks this way. I would know him anywhere. Yamato, my Yamato, my Matt. I walk up to him and turn around and walk next to him until he reaches the group.
"You're the last one to show up Yamato. Here, I thought you would be the first, because you did say last night that you wanted to see me" I say shocking everyone around me.
Matt looks at me, "Tai…is that you?' asks Matt taking a good look at what I am wearing.
I'm wearing a black v-neck shirt, black cargo jeans, and white bandage around both my wrists up my hands but stops before getting to my fingers, black spiked chocker; I'm wearing a chain with dog tags, black overhead hat, duck tape around fingers, thick black ring, black leather boots, and a trench coat. I have my Lightning Throwers that are solid stainless steel, nylon cord wrapped handles, both fit securely into the nylon sheath behind my back.
I have my Dark Invade Throwers are a perfectly balanced throwing knife set that is solid 420 stainless steel which is black anodized finish, with the cut outs allowing them to soar through the air, with nylon sheath which holds all three and is attached to my belt. I have my Fighting Knives which are two short swords, each fully sharpened 15 ¾`` stainless steel blade featuring gold tone color, with the solid American oak handles are Elvin vine design, with cast metal guard and pommel. They are hidden in two different places.
I have two guns tucked away in two different places along with four mini knives. I smile and gesture for him to sit down. Daisuke comes up and punches me in the face. I don't do anything to hit him back.
"Davis, why did you do that?" asks Kenji pulling Daisuke towards him.
"It's ok Kenji. I deserved that one. Besides, if I had wanted to I could have dodged," I say sitting down.
"Since when did you use full names Tai?" asks Cody.
"Since the day my name changed from Tai to Machi. Please call me Machi while I'm on the job. It is dangerous if you call me by my real name. There is a very good reason why I called you guys here today," I state holding up my hand so no one will talk.
"Machi is part of a secret organization and all criminals that he has gone up against know him as Machi. This way his friends and family are protected. But someone wants him and his brainless leader messed up" speaks Ian.
"Hey, I may be brainless but if it is too dangerous for him to be in Japan. Why not just ship him back with us," growls Mike.
"Mike, down. You know as well as I do that the more people we have to corner Dozu the better. Besides, I think Machi should be with his friends here in Japan. Names Jason and I met Machi at a university," smiles Jason. "Dozu is a really bad guy who wants Machi either dead or alive. He, of course rather have him alive and his personal slave."
"Jason, let's not scare my friends to death. I rather have them alive which is why this meeting was called for in the first place," I sigh running a hand through my hair. "We need each person's permission to set up a security detail in your homes and offices. I don't want to take a chance of a hit man going after anyone I know. And I knew that once you all found I was back, you would want to see me, chat, and catch up on old times."
"You've changed, you are so much more careful and guarded before you up and left" speaks Cody taking note of everything I do and say.
"And you all have changed, some for the better and others for the worse" I say shrugging my shoulders. "I have been away for a long time and the people I have met and the things I did changed me. But we can catch up with each other after I set up the surveillance in the places that I have permission too."
"Ma, as much as we all like how well you talk to people with your no longer existing social skills, please don't try to make your friends angry" speaks Agumon walking up with Mimi and William behind him.
"MA, I thought I told you to wait for me. How dare you leave without me? I should just beat the shit out of you for that. Hello everyone" smiles Mimi smacking me upside my head.
"I told you to rest Mimi, you're pregnant and I was positive that William would bring you here after you felt better" I growl out at the pregnant woman. "William, keep your wife under control."
"Back on topic everyone" growls Al.
"I don't see any reason why you guys can't step your equipment up in my house and offices. And, I'm sure Ken agrees with me, that you can set up in his office as well" speaks up Daisuke. "I forgive Machi; he left to clear his head and to start over. He had good reasons for it. We are all partly to blame. We all followed along with Sora and kind of pushed him to the brink. So we are all to blame here."
"Thank you Daisuke, I'm not sure I deserve your forgiveness but I'm not going to argue about it. Al, if you're so bored. Here is the address for Kenji's office, Daisuke's office, and their home. Set up equipment and get it running as soon as you can" I speak before handing over the papers Al needs. "Daisuke, Kenji please, give Al, any keys he might need to get into places. I rather he didn't break into your home or offices."
"I'm not to blame for him up and leaving us all behind without any notice as to why he was leaving. So don't you dare place this on me" speaks up Sora standing up as she speaks.
"We do not have time to argue with you Sora. Our lives are at stake. You may step up in our house and offices. Here are the keys" speaks Cody stepping forward to place them in my hands.
"Thanks, Leila, takes these and do your jog," I say handing everything over to her and watch as Al and Leila leave together to get their job done.
"Then maybe we should no longer be friends with him. I mean if Tai, will present danger for us maybe we should avoid being around him or even talking to me" barks out Sora mad that everyone pushed her aside.
"Nah, I find that us having this come up is just what we all need. Some action in our lives would never hurt us would it Yukiko" smiles Takeru looking at his wife.
"I do agree, here are our keys" smiles Yukiko handing them all over to me.
"Thanks, Jason, here you go have fun, Mike go with him," I say handing what Jason needs over to him.
"Why do I have to go with him?" asks Mike looking at me.
"Unless you want me to kick your ass all the way back to your home, you had better go with him," I growl out thrusting a key into his hands.
"I'm going," sighs Mike grumbling something about me not being the boss or leader of the team.
"Let's go love" smiles Jason wrapping his arms around Mike and pulling him away.
"Will anyone listen to me?" shrieks Sora turning to look at everyone.
"I'll be moving out of the house I'm in at the moment and move in with the woman that I have been seeing since Sora and I decided to get to a divorce. Since it will be finalized in two days" speaks Joe standing up and walking over to me. "I'll need to call my girl and see if it is alright with her and if it is I'll go with the person you send to her house so that way she won't get scared. Is that alright with you?"
"That's fine, here use my phone," I say handing over my phone.
"Thanks" Joe says as he walks away a little ways.
"Here Machi, the keys to my place and the keys to the studio I work at to record my bands music and the office at the studio I work at where I write the music for my band" speaks Yamato, handing over his keys.
"Nicholas, you do it, here is everything you need," I say handing the keys and a piece of paper over to him. "Kat, got a cig, I need one badly."
"Sure I do" smiles Kat walking up to me and handing me a cig. "It's just not the kind you smoke.
"You smoke, how can you smoke. See you guys he has changed, we shouldn't be friends with him" growls Sora wanting to leave.
"I only smoke to relieve stress. You are not making things any easier for me. If you don't want your place bugged we won't do it, and if you don't care about what else will be said today, you may leave. No one is keeping you here against your will," I snap out at her before turning to see Joe heading back to us. He hands me my phone.
"She said it was ok as long as Ian step the stuff up" speaks Joe.
"Good, cause I need you to stay" I smile as Joe hands over the keys to Ian.
"I'll be back" nods Ian taking off.
"I'm leaving," snaps Sora turning away from the group and walking away.
"I'm sorry for the way she acted guys. I didn't want today to be a bad start off after eight years of not seeing each other" I sigh running a hand through my hair.
"It's ok, she hasn't been herself since you said in the video that she didn't deserve the Love Crest" speaks Joe sitting down.
