The next generation
Chapter 2
The D-reaper comes back and you and Rae leave to fight." Mary said looking at Rika and Takato who were listening with serious faces. " Who's Rae she like a friend?" Rika asked the children who gave her weird looks. "What...what did I say?" She asked puzzled." Rae is our older sister." Said Tom getting shocked then a look of relief from Rika. "Just one that's good I don't think we could handle two." She thought then realised everyone was looking at her. "What." She said agitated slightly scaring everyone. "Anyway continue Mary." Takato said turning to the twins. "Well the D-reaper has control of the hazard and uncle Ryo." Rika was shocked but not because of the D-reaper because she allowed her kids to call Ryo uncle and quickly became angry. "Why did you leave, we needed you two...and...you left!" Mary said starting to cry as tears escaped her eyes, Rika's anger quickly faded and she moved into the back with the twins rapping her arms around Mary. "I'm sorry, Mary but I'm sure we left for the right reason." She said trying to sooth the child. "But why send us here it will come soon." Tom shouted from the other side of Rika taking everyone by surprise. "What's coming Tom?" Takato asked looking at him then to Mary. "Tom don't tell them we'll sort it." Mary said pulling away from Rika.
I'm sorry Mary but they have a right to know." He said looking at his sister then his shoes, taking a deep breath he sighed then turned his attention to the so called parents. "The D-reaper has sent a bounty hunter after us!" He said hearing Rika and Takato gasp in shock. "Why would the D-reaper do that?" Takato asked the small child. "We don't know." Said Tom fear in his voice. "All we know is he's after us." Mary said looking at her parents to be. "Well let them come we'll just beat him and send him back." Rika said with anger in her voice scaring everyone in the car. "Ok well we best get going." Takato said turning his attention to his watch, Rika got back in the front and they started to the bakery.
Meanwhile back at the flat Renamon and Guilmon were sleeping with the new Digimon as Renamon slept she suddenly heard a small voice say. "Mama, mama I'm hungry when's breakfast." Asked a voice of a child, Renamon dismissed it as Mary until she felt a tug on her arm making her open one eye to see the face of a small fox like creature. "I'm hungry." She said trying to rouse the sleeping Digimon, in the end the small Digimon won and Renamon sat up giving a grunt of dissatisfaction. "Yes young one what can I do?" She asked standing up. "Mama who is young one I'm Kitmon." The small Digimon declared.
Renamon was taken aback by the small Digimon calling her mama was shocking as Digimon didn't have kids, as far as she knew Digimon grew up without parents so why was this Digimon calling her mama, she was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the second small Digimon walk in. "What's with mom?" He asked looking at Kitmon who just shrugged her shoulders. "Don't know Timemon she just phased out." Kitmon said looking at her brother. "Mom are you there?" Timemon asked waving his hand in front of her face bringing her back to reality. "Why do you keep calling me mom and mama?" Renamon asked looking at the two Digimon getting confused looks off them. "What do you mean mama?" Kitmon asked. "STOP CALLING ME THAT." Renamon shouted scaring the young Digimon into tears as she hid behind the sofa while Timemon watched. "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BLOW UP AT HER LIKE THAT." He shouted back shocking Renamon so much she was speechless as Timemon went to comfort his sister, just then Guilmon walked in yawning. "Renamon what's with all the shouting?" The red dinosaur Digimon asked but he didn't get an answer all he saw was a single tear leave Renamon's eye as she walked away.
Behind the sofa Kitmon was sniffling from her crying with her brother trying to calm her down. "I want to go home." She said in a sad and desperate tone. "You know we can't Kitmon." He said as kindly as he could. "Anyway imagine what mom would say-." As he was about to finish his sentence Renamon walked in. "Are you alright Kitmon?" She asked concerned, Kitmon just turned her head away from her and looked at the wall, Renamon sighed and sat next to her soon to be Daughter while Timemon thought it best to leave, once they were alone Renamon spoke. "I never had a mom or dad." She said in a low voice making Kitmon turn her head in shock. "No brothers or sisters?" Kitmon asked still in shock, Renamon just shook her head and closed her eyes opening them again when she felt two arms rap around her. "I'm sorry mama I didn't mean to hurt you." Kitmon said muffled by Renamon's fur. "I know and I'm sorry for shouting at you its just shocking." Renamon said stroking Kitmon's back. "I know mom." Kitmon said sitting up. "So how about some breakfast then?" Renamon asked getting up seeing the young Digimon nod happily then stick her arms up to be picked up which Renamon happily did making the small Digimon laugh with happiness. "So what do want for breakfast Kitmon?" Renamon asked as they walked into the kitchen.( I know big flat for Japan right )
Back with Takato and Rika they were trying to wake Takato's mother up whilst arguing. "I told you she would faint when we tell her." Rika said putting a cold flannel on Mae's head. "You know I can't lie to my mom." Takato argued back listening to the two fits of laughter in the background. "Don't think we forgot your part in this." Rika said directing her attention to the twins. "What did we do?" They both asked at the same time. "I don't know maybe running in and saying hi grandma!" Takato said in one of Rika's matter of fact tones. "Ugh what happened?" Mae asked holding her head as she sat up. "Take it easy Mrs Matsuki." Rika said as she sat down next to Mae. "How many times have I told you Rika call me Mae or mom!" She said a little frustrated with Rika over having this conversation many times before. "Sorry Mrs-." Rika stopped quickly seeing the glare from Mae. "Eeerr sorry mom!" She said holding up her hands in defence, sighing Mae put her hands in her lap. "Now tell me was I dreaming or was it real?" She asked looking at her son who was sweating buckets and shaking with fear. "Well promise you won't kill me then I'll tell." Takato said with the fear in his voice Mae smiled when he said that. "So where are they then." She asked, Rika pointed to behind the sofa, Mae turned her head to catch the worried looks Tom and Mary shared and chuckled a bit thinking back to when Takato was young.
All right you two come out and I want details." Mae said to the pare, they shuffled towards her nervously putting there hands behind there backs. "were really sorry grandma." Tom said looking at his shoes. " we didn't mean to make you faint." Mary finished also looking at her shoes feeling very ashamed, Mae just smiled some more. "come on you two give us a hug." she said before being tackled by the twins, Rika and Takato just smiled letting a small chuckle out each. "so how old are you two?" Mae asked the twins. " eight and half." they said making sure the half was important, the adults laugh a little. Alright you two go watch a bit of TV ok we need to talk alone. Rika said ushering them to the living room, they nodded and happily went leaving them to work things out.
