Chapter Fourteen: You Can't Run Forever

"See ya, buddy." Shouted Takuya waving goodbye at Whamon.

"Ciao Whamon" Zoe yelled.

"So there he goes" Koji stated.

"Nice of you to state the obvious" Takuya said.

"Don't be such boys." Zoe said.

"What's gotten in to you?" questioned Bokomon.

"You can't blame a girl who just got her spirit back to be sad." Zoe said.

"Don't forget who got a beast spirit now" J.P joined.

Same old Zoe I sighed feeling a bit lonely.

"Let's say it for J.P. the Princely Prince of Rhunder." Zoe shouted.

"Don't forget about Zoe the Princess of the Summer Breeze" J.P shouted.

"And Takuya King of I'm going to be Sick." Takuya said.

We started walking along the island we were on.

"You know, I just happen to know, its summer and we're on a beach." J.P said.

"Yea, I notice that." Zoe said.

"Yea, you know what that means." Tommy said.

"Summer Vacation" We all said.

Wait Summer Vacation? I thought worried.

"The waves" Tommy said.

"Shell hunting" Zoe said.

"Lots of sunshine" J.P said

"Put it all together and what do you got? The beach, baby" Takuya said.

"Takuya are you forgetting something, we're on a mission here" Koji said. "We'll be stupid to let our guard down."

"Come on lighten up buddy" Takuya said tickling Koji. J.P joined too.

"Come on guys, stop it I'm ticklish. " Koji said laughing.

"Yes, you are you're being pooy." Tommy said.

"It can't hurt to take a short break we've earned it." Zoe said.

"You mean you earned it I haven't done anything" I said quickly.

"That's not true." Tommy said.

"You gave us advice" Takuya said.

"You help out the KrasukiNumemons." Tommy said as well.

"You taught me how to fight." Zoe said. This shocked everyone. They all looked at me angrily.

"Calm down. It was only the basics" I assured.

"And you are coming with us." They said pushing me towards the beach.

"Oh my." Bokomon said pointing to a beach house.

"Welcome" said four Toucanmon.

"Welcome honor guests to Toucan Paradise." One Toucanmon said.

"We're honor you're honor" Said Tommy.

"We're honor but broke." Koji reminded.

"What's a little digishackles among friends, and it just so happen today everything is on the house. That means everything is free" another Toucanmon said.

"We know what that means." Said Bokomon annoyed.

"Sorry, so sorry it was just a small joke, very small." Said another.

"Don't worry" I said.

"No, no, no. we are just humiliated. There is nothing we won't do to make it up to you." Said the fourth.

"Oh wow really?" J.P asked.

"Really, really, really, double really." All the Toucanmon said.

The Toucanmon provided food for us to eat. I had fried noodles. "Delicious." We praised.

"Oh man I am really enjoying these overcook lumpy noodles with rubbery eggs." Takuya said.

"This is the best lumpy curry I ever had" Zoe said point to her spoon.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Koji asked.

"Don't you get it? Its real food, like the real world, not like some kind meat-tasting rabid food." J.P said.

"Everything is just like it is lumps and all, besides it's a beach house, loosen up, buddy." Takuya said.

We finished our meals.

"You ate a lot" Neemon commented towards Bokomon.

"I'm eating for two now." Bokomon said.

"Akira, you ate less then Tommy" J.P said.

"So?" I puffed.

"Nothing" Zoe said.

"My tummy feels like a melon" Takuya said rubbing his stomach. "Well I guess it's time to split" Takuya said standing up.

"We've impost on you enough already." Zoe said while the Toucanmon seemed unwilling to let us go.

"Come on impost" Toucanmon said. "

We're begging you here, impost already." Another Toucanmon said

"We would but we're stuff as it is." I said.

"But you're growing kids it won't be long before you get hungry again. What kinds of folks would be if we didn't let you have supper?" Toucanmon said.

"Supper? I might never eat again" Takuya said.

"You say that now but after you been in the sun." another Toucanmon spoke.

"I'm sure you will agree with me, you might as well take advantage of our summer vacation special!" A Toucanmon said showing us some swim gear.

"It's alright" I said. "You guys go swim. I'll just stay here and supervise." I said.

"Come on" Takuya said pulling me.

"No." I said taking my hand back.

The others seemed shock.

"You guys go first." I assured.

The boys reluctantly when in to change.

I quickly went to the girl side. "Zoe how could you?" I said heart broken.

"What?" Zoe asked.

"You know the secret." I said.

"O well they will have to find out eventually." Zoe said.

"So you pick now out of all the possible days?" I questioned and spread my arms out wide to emphasize.

"Yep" Zoe said.

"I hate you so." I sigh defeated. I took off my jacket and placed my D-tector on the top. I look at the rack of swimsuits.

"What do you think about this one?" Zoe asked holding a white swimsuit with red stripe.

"You aren't driving a race car." I said.

Zoe nodded and threw it on the floor.

"This?" I asked holding a black swimsuit made for swimming lessons.

"Too sporty" Zoe said. I threw on the floor.

"This?" Zoe asked holding up a bikini.

"Too revealing, don't forget what some of the boys are like and Tommy to young to see that." I said.

"Your right" Zoe agreed and dumped it on the floor.

"Hey, here one that fits you." Zoe said holding up an orange swimsuit.

I sighed "Fine, but I will get you back." Zoe chose a magenta swimsuit.

I took off my pants and lift my shirt. When Zoe and I saw something move. "AHHHHHHHH" We screamed. We heard footstep as the peeper ran away.

In came Takuya and J.P. We screamed again and threw random objects at them. "I'm doomed." I said as we put our clothing back on. I didn't have time to place my hair up so I let it down and place the hat on and hood blocking my hair. Zoe covered me as we went outside.

"So, why were you screaming before?" Koji asked around the two boys who were now beaten red.

"Because someone is a peeping tom" said Zoe.

"You're kidding?" Takuya gaped.

"Let me at him!" J.P said. We all stare at J.P. "What are you all looking at me for?" J.P asked.

"You seem to be more like the kind to look." Takuya said.

"It couldn't be J.P. He was swimming with us the whole time." Tommy reminded.

"Then we can it be we all had the same alibi." Koji deducted.

"Not everyone." J.P said point at me. "You we're the only one not swimming." J.P concluded.

"It wasn't her. Sakura was just didn't want to..."Zoe started

"She?" The rest asked.

"Did I say she I meant He." Zoe said unnerving.

"It must have been the Toucanmons." I deducted. "They aren't anywhere near here."

"Hey, you're right!" Koji agreed, looking around. "Wait a minute" Koji said and ran into the boy's change room, followed by the others. I waited outside.

A few minutes later, Zoe came out all bruised. "You alright?" I asked.

"Yea, but you should tell them." Zoe insisted.

"I pick later remember?" I said. Zoe nodded. "So what happened?" I asked.

"They lost their D-Tector." Zoe filled me in.

We chased after the Toucanmons by their footsteps and overheard them said "Ranamon the ravishing".

"What do you mean Ranamon the ravishing?" Takuya asked.

"Give our D-tector back." Koji demanded.

"No way, these are our dates with Ranamon." The Toucanmon said.

"Take it from me, you guys are delusional." J.P said

"Yeah!" Tommy agreed.

"No, now, scram." The Toucanmon said.

"Maybe we should scram." Said another

"Scramming." They all said.

"Wait, come back." Tommy said.

"This is so stupid" Takuya said running after them.

Five geysers shot out of the sea and Ranamon appeared between all five of them.

"This isn't good." I stated.

"Hi y'all" Ranamon greeted.

"She's Ranamon the water warrior, and she very evil." Bokomon informed.

"Of course she is." Takuya shouted.

"She sure has lousy timing." Koji said.

"I've been waiting to see y'all. Of course, I hoped to have my beast spirit to show you all. But everything happens for a reason. We can't have everything. Now hand over your spirits." Ranamon said.

"Didn't you just say we can't have everything? You can't have our spirit." I said.

"Sounds stupid to me." Zoe said.

"But we don't have our D-Tectors." Koji stated.

"I'll handle her." Zoe said.

"But Zoe that not wise." I commented.

"Don't worry I can handle her." She said confidently.

"Goodie, goodie." Said Ranamon and hurled water tornado around.

"Water girl has got some temper." Zoe said and turned into Kazemon.

"Man I never felt so useless before." J.P said.

You can't do anything but I can. I thought, not bother looking I spirit evolve. "Ex-a-cute! Spirit Evolution." I didn't bother hiding most of my voice since it was hard to hear over the water.

"Did someone say something?" Koji asked.

I spirited into Dianamon. "Dianamon" I said.

"Are you planning on fighting me alone? Sugar" Ranamon said.

"I wouldn't let it. Sugar." I mocked.

"So, now, you mock me?" Ranamon puffed, offended.

"I rather fight." Kazemon said throwing a fist at Ranamon only to be blocked by a whirlpool. Kazemon turn and flew away.

The whirlpools split into two as I went to attack Ranamon. One went to charge at me. I sliced through the whirlpool and continued to charge at Ranamon. I had to stop when Ranamon summoned water upwards and a few inches away from nose. I turn and glide away. Kazemon has also escaped from Ranamon water attacks.

"Whippin' waves." Ranamon said making two more whirlpools.

"Hurricane Winds." Kazemon fired ten tornado from her fingers.

"Arrow of Artemis." I cried from above and behind Kazemon and shot ice arrows off the stick ups on the back through the opening of the now dying whirlpool. Ranamon dodge the attack.

"You're pretty good at this." Ranamon said.

"O Ranamon, that means so little coming from you." Kazemon mocked.

"You little brat. I would enjoy plucking your wings off one by one." Ranamon said. Kazemon and I were surrounded by four tornados.

"Upwards?" I questioned looking up. No it was too narrow. We floated around not touching the whirlpool. Ranamon let the whirlpool fell. Taking the chance I kicked around releasing four crescents towards Ranamon. "Crescent Harken" I yelled. Ranamon dived into the water dodging my attacks and swam under the water.

"What's going on?" I questioned at the giant glow on the water. "I don't know." Kazemon answered.

"What's happening?" Koji asked.

"We don't know." I shouted back at him.

"Ready or not here I come." Calmaramon said. Out can a giant upside down squid with a human at the top. "In all my radiant beauty, aren't you impress?" Calmaramon asked.

"Yeah some radiant beauty" I whispered and snickered, Kazemon joined after hearing what I sad.

"I could see by your faces you still need convincing about sweet Calmaramon." Calmaramon said.

"Since when is she sweet?" I asked

"Come on, the guys need us." Kazemon said. I laughed.

"I'm just happy to oblige." Calmaramon said walking on land with her squid paws. The guys ran away.

"Hey. Sea creatures belong in the sea." I shouted and threw my weapon around like a boomerang to stop her from advancing. "Crescent Harken." I kicked and it hit her, but barely did damage. Kazemon went and kicked Calmaramon. Calmaramon slap Kazemon down "Kazemon." I shouted.

Calmaramon jump and started twirling herself. I went over Kazemon and held my weapon in a diagonal line to block as Calmaramon drilled down. My plan was if she hits the weapon I'll try my best to push her back. "Titanic Tempest." Calmaramon shouted and drill fast and went to the left and then she flew away. "This is not happening" Calmaramon shouted.

"That's just weird" I said. Kazemon agreed.

I helped Kazemon up and went behind duck down the broken tree and return to my original form. I snuck around and walk to where the guys were pretending I was there the whole time and high five Zoe. "Yay." We said and started laughing.

"Hold it right there. Akira" Koji said.

"Is something the matter?" I asked.

Koji walk towards me and knock down my cap, my hat and hood falling down. My hair blew to the side in the wind. "Nothing Sakura Akira" Koji said. I stood there in shock as so did the rest. I raised my hand and slapped Koji in the flushed face. "Why did you do that?" I yelled.

"That's what we should be asking you. And who are you and what have you done to Akira?" Takuya asked. I think I saw a little blush on his face.

"Who are you?" asked J.P dreamily.

"Ask him that he should know." I shouted and stomp to the side.

I rummage through the clothing I can find. I need a change of clothing.

In a few hours I found a black V-neck tank top with cut off sleeves attach to it and a dark black skirt with a belt.

The team has left to find their D-Tectors. That went well I thought and sat there in my new clothing and sighed. "He probably doesn't even remember me." I sighed. I owe the rest some answers I thought. "Exe-a-cute. Spirit Evolution" I yelled and spirit evolved to Dianamon and ran after them.
