Chapter Eight: Dianamon Reappears
I awoke to the smell of meat. "Nnnnh" I said rubbing my eyes.
"You finally woke up eh? Sleepyhead?" teased J.P.
"Yea…huh? Where am I?" I question.
"We're in a forest" said Zoe.
"Hi Zoe, can you follow me for a sec?" I asked seriously.
"Huh? Okay?" Zoe said and followed.
I led her a few steps away from the group. "I need you to help me see how the injury is." I announced.
"Huh? Why me and what injury?" Zoe said waving her hand in front of her head.
"Fine, then get someone who can and come back with the okay?" I sighed. Zoe left and soon returned with…with…the whole group. "Geez Zoe. I said to bring ONE person. Not everyone." I said shyly.
"Did you happen to tell then what is needed?" I asked shyly.
"No why?" Zoe asked confused.
"Okay then never mind." I said backing away. "But what if…" Zoe trail on.
"What is it?" Takuya questioned.
"Ah…nothing." I said waving my hand in front of my face.
"It's not nothing. What if you're really hurt?" Zoe shouted.
"What did she want you to do?" Koji asked.
"She wanted me to check her injury." She answered.
"What's so bad if we look at it?" J.P asked.
"Huh? Where did she go?" Takuya said.
"Over there. Get her!" yelled Tommy.
They ran after me. Takuya, J.P and Koji pounced on me to get me to stop. "I'll be fin-owowowow" I cried in pain as Koji 'accidentally'press on my injury.
"Koji stop that." Zoe scolded.
"See you aren't fine. Tommy." Koji stated.
"Sorry Akira." Tommy said taking my jacket off. Koji pulled my left arm out of its sleeve.
"Zoe how does it look?" Takuya questioned leaning over to look.
"It's all swollen and purple. Akira you have a big bruise there." Zoe stated shriveling away. The rest of the gang each took a look and got off me.
"Ow owie Neemon don't step on it" I shouted at the yellow creature. Zoe came and took Neemon off me.
"Koji get the medicine." I sighed. Koji rummage through my jacket and gently rub the medicine on my injury. Then he stuck plaster on my shoulder. I quickly put my clothes back on properly. "Never do that again." I said angrily and blushing. I left quickly and went to eat a meat apple.
A giant cloud went over the three moons and the trees surrounded us started to glow they showed different parts of a world, our world, the human world. Tommy saw his mother. His mother has short brown locks around her neck. Tommy started to cry when his mother disappeared.
I was informed about the beast spirit. J.P decided to do a magic act to cheer Tommy up. I stayed away from the group and especially from Koji and Takuya. I watched J.P magic act from a far and I do say, it was quite well done.
I helped Takuya and J.P keep watch. "Thank you" I said timidly towards Takuya.
"Wow you can still talk we thought we went mute after we tackled you and for what?" Takuya asked.
"For carrying me around when I was unconscious." I said.
"Oh that no problem. O and are you alright?" Takuya added.
"Huh?"
"You're the lightest person I ever carried besides Tommy." Takuya stated.
"I don't eat a lot." I confessed. Something flew from tree to tree "Did you hear that?" I questioned.
"I didn't hear anything but I did see something." Takuya answered. We looked around for the culprit.
Tommy started whimpering loudly waking everyone.
"Tommy, are you alright?" I questioned.
Tommy was holding a stick chanting "I will never forgive you" Tommy threw the stick away and spirit transform. "Crystal Freeze" Kumamon said and froze a tree.
"Kumamon." I said worried.
"Crystal Freeze" Kumamon repeated and froze the ground, we started to run away. "Crystal Freeze" Kumamon chanted and froze a tree that cracked. Takuya ran and pulled Zoe out from under the tree.
"Why can Takuya fall with Zoe?" J.P complained.
"Just move it jerk" Koji said running away from another blast.
"I say we spirit evolve and take Kumamon out." J.P suggested.
"No." I almost scream. "I won't allow it" I said dodging another attack. "What was that?" I asked hearing something rustling.
"I know I heard something that time" Koji and Takuya said.
Koji change into Lobomon.
"Hey I thought we agreed that we aren't going to do that and who does he think he is anyway?" J.P complained.
I ignored him.
Lobomon took his sword and shone the place.
"There it is" Takuya said spirit evolving.
I'm going to help this time I thought. I hid in some bushes.
"Exe-a-cute! Spirit… Evolution" I said. A fractal code appear around my hand, I flip it around and scan it to my D-tector. "Dianamon" I followed after Agunimon. Agunimon appeared out in the open. I jump over and help.
"Wow she's back" J.P said in awe. Zoe stared in awe unable to speak.
"It's Dianamon" Bokomon shouted.
"Who?" Neemon asked. Bokomon stretched Neemon's pants and snap it back on.
"Nightmare Syndrome." Bakumon shouted. Agunimon got spray with purple mist.
"Agunimon!" I shouted. The purple mist disappeared.
"It's only a dream! Bakumon have convinced him we're his enemies." Agunimon shouted.
Lobomon was back into a tree. "Duck Lobomon! Arrow of Artemis" I screamed. I made a cage with my ice arrows surrounding Kumamon.
"Stop, Tommy!" Lobomon asked.
"My name is not Tommy. It's Kumamon." Kumamon corrected.
"Snap out of it Kumamon, Bakumon only got you under a spell. You have to fight it" Agunimon shouted. He punched his fists together and fire whipped around his arms.
"If you fire this way I will have no use to battle you" I warned Agunimon. Kumamon pointed his gun at me. Agunimon turn around to attack Bakumon. Agunimon scanned his fractal code and Kumamon turns back to Tommy.
"Wow Lobomon were you fighting someone?"
"It's good to have you back, little one" I said wisely.
"Wow who are you?" Tommy questioned.
"I'm Dianamon. The owner of this crest空." I jabbed a finger at my crest.
Tommy was soon told about the nightmare but not in detail.
"So, where were you all this time?" Takuya asked. Ever since Agunimon change back Takuya has been asking me questions after the pause for the awe. "Zoe was right your sight is breathtaking. Why is that? What kinds of attack can you do?"
Getting tired of the questions I decided to do something. "Ok…. Goodnight Moon." I said releasing moonlight from the 'Goodnight sisters' on my leg. I watch my work go as one by one they fell asleep. Satisfy, I ran behind a bush and transformed back, panting.
I quietly sneak in with the rest of the group, pretending to sleep until one woke. I heard Takuya boasting about the things he learned from Dianamon. "What do you think she meant by 'I was close by the whole time'?" Takuya asked. I sank into a corner trying my best not to get asked.
"I think she means that she watches over us." answered Tommy. Soon everyone join in saying what they thought.
"What do you think Akira?" Takuya asked.
"Huh? O I think she means that she watch over us carefully and is nearby to help us every time it's needed." I told what I had meant at the time.
"Wait, where were you? You disappeared." Takuya asked.
"Come to think of it you were missing last time Dianamon showed up." Zoe recalled.
"Uhh… you must have missed me." I said unconvincing but they didn't bother me anymore. Koji face look like he was struggling to solve something but gradually gave up…for now.
"Sweet dreams" Bakumon said.
I fell asleep only to be awaken by Koji's D-Tector. "Is something wrong?" I asked sleepily
"My D-Tector said something about finding my beast spirit." Koji explained.
"That's great isn't it?" I interrupted.
"But it said I need to do some growing up, do you know what that means?" Koji asked.
"I'm sorry I have no idea." I apologized.
