By Bluestar076

Here is Chapter 3! The title is a reference to one of the soundtracks of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth,i decided to choose this title because i think it fits with what Kyoko is gonna do in this chapter. Anyways,enjoy! Note: I do not own Digimon. All rights and characters go to Bandai and Toei animation. Also,this is a fantasy story. All references to real people,groups,places,laws and names are completely causal.


Chapter 3: I can clown around anytime but i'll dance

One week has passed since Sykes Connor was put in jail. The criminal was interrogated several times,but he spoke very few,and the police was obligated to use heavy ways,like chain him or using the lasers. And even with those ways,he resisted. One day,at the umpteenth interrogation,Sykes gave another speech.

"For the last time,why were you depriving energy from the Digimon?" A police officer said to him.

"I already answered you. All i've done was for a favour to my dear friend Saiba Rei." Sykes simply answered.

"What are you blattering about? Why the boss of the Rei corporation would do such a thing!?" The police officer countered.

"Nothing particular. What i am sure about is that my friend will deeply change the society we are living in" Sykes said still in a simple way. Even though it was simple,Sykes put a lot of pression while he was talking. He didn't laugh,made a maniacal smile,or tried to escape or even show desparation. Just a neutral face. The officer was somehow disturbed by his words. "E-Enough! Put him in his cage again!" Two other police men took Sykes away. When the criminal came back on his cage,he sat on his bed and turned on the wall.

"I'm sorry,Saiba. I've tried to do as you ordered. But they stopped me. I at least hope that this might help you."

The two police men looked at him. The way Sykes was on his bed looked like he was praying. They were dazed,everyone would be so.

"What the hell is he doing?" One of the two men said.

"Even praying for him. Isn't a little exaggerated? Loving a person is a thing,but adore him as a god is another one." The other man said,looking at him.

"I think this guy is just crazy. You know,at nowadays extremist people aren't new." The first man concluded,looking at his companion.

"I know,but…adore a person that works on computers? Isn't that strange?" The second man asked.

"Hey,maybe he's a hikikomori. You know that? Is a japanese term that referees those people that steadily stay on the computer. 24 hours. Non-stop. And it's ironic that he was caught by two japanese girls!" The first man theorized with a little laugh.

"Oh yes,the two girls from Chesire Cat agency. Hm?" The second men noticed that Sykes was doing something on his arm. "Hey! What are you doing?"

"Nothing,i'm just bandaging my arm. I got hurt." Sykes answered.

"Come on. We finished here. We can go." The first man said. The second one nodded and followed the friend. Before he went away,he looked at Sykes for the last time. And then he left. Sykes took a sigh of relief. "they were discovering me. Now,my last job will be advising the boss." He did something on his watch and then he lied down. Sykes's behaviour didn't passed unobserved even by other prisoners,after what he did. He started to talk with others and act like a normal prisoner. It was like he accomplished his duty and so nothing worried him anymore. He was ready to turn back into a normal person. It was a particular case of a person. Or maybe he was just crazy?


Meanwhile at the agency life was going simple. Even if only one week has passed,Kasai was accepted in a short time. She was part of the family now. In fact,she was already a member even before entering in the agency,since they were already a team years ago. Kasai was lying on a sofa in a room with the others,except Kyoko. It was a break-time so everyone was having a chat.

"And so i ended up beating him to death and i shouted Next time you'll think twice about talking bad of my mom!" Tsuna shouted,telling a story he experienced before when he punched almost to death a guy.

"And like always,you would rather punch than be a rational type." Kumo answered,reviewing his story.

"No one asked your opinion,Kumo!" Tsuna countered.

"Also,you are forgetting the rule number one! Defend what you love with strenght! Just like when i was a soldier in the great Germany! GERMANY HAS THE GREATEST MILITARY FORCE IN THE WORLD!" Chikara shouted.

"Good grief. Does he always act like this?" Kasai asked,looking at the megalomaniac soldier.

"Yes,unfortunately. Since he came back from Germany,after doing two years of military school there,he started to scream at everyone and do the superior." Sasuke answered.

"And surely he is annoying. I studied for one year in Italy but i don't scream the values of that country" Kouta added,mentioning that time he went on the penisula washed by the Mediterrean.

"How dare you say i'm annoying!? You are disrespecting both me and the german army! I'm older of all of you! So show some respect!" Chikara shouted,hearing the insult.

"Oh come on Chikara! Calm down! You should hear the others. Look at yourself! For the rage you're all red!" Toriko said with a grin. This was a joke,because the red was supposed to resemble the Russian flag. After hearing that joke Chikara got all mad and shouted stronger than ever "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAID TORIKO!? JUST BECAUSE IT'S GERMANY IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S ALWAYS NAZI! YOU ARE DISRESPECTING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY!"

Everyone silenced and looked at Toriko,who was embarassed "…sorry" he said. Then Kyoko came out of her office and met the others. "Guys,i have to say something."

"What is it Kyoko?" Sasuke asked.

"Tomorrow i won't come immediately at the office. I'll go to the Rei Corporation to ask information" The blond girl answered. She thought a lot about the story about Sykes. The fact that he said he was working for the Rei Corporation gave her many doubts. So she wanted to be sure to have an answer.

"The Rei Corporation? The one that works on digivices and gates through the Digital World?" Yatsura asked.

"Is there a reason in particular,sister?" Kumo asked.

"Sykes Connor,the criminal who got captured by Kasai and Rikka last week said that he was working for Saiba Rei,the boss of the corporation. I have to make sure that he doesn't plotting something." Kyoko answered,explaining her thoughts. Hearing those words Chikara got up and stood in front of her.

"Are you really sure of what you are doing!? Think about it!"

"Yeah! What's wrong with that?" Kyoko asked.

"Your behavior is too irresponsible for a leader! Taking a move in a short time could ruin you! Have you ever thought of other ways!?" Chikara yelled at her.

"What do you mean by other ways!? I just want to ask to Saiba Rei about the situation! That's all!" Kyoko answered

"Listen,the world is full of crazy people like that one! He could be just crazy,i don't know! Going to the Rei Corporation and blame him for a small matter could bring our agency in ruins! Think of Kasai! She got the job just one week ago! One of your stupid moves can make everyone lose this job! It only needs a small complaint to let us finish on the road! If you are a leader then you should act like one!" Chikara countered her friend. Kyoko silenced for some seconds. She knew that Chikara was right. One craziness and the agency could be destroyed. But she still wanted to have an answer. So she answered. "That may be. But as a leader i have to make my decisions. I really care about the others and i know that i can have risks. But you can never know the truth if you don't see it with your eyes. For the sake of the city i have to know that truth. Think about it. If i can talk with Saiba about this,he could bring a message to all of his fans for stop this. You know i wouldn't abbandon them,but i also have to do my duty."

Chikara looked at her. Then he turned around. "I can't change your mind. You're the leader. You decide what to do. But next time you should think twice." After saying that he left the room.

Everyone looked at Kyoko to see her reaction. "What? Do i have to add something?" she asked.

"Oh! Ehm,no." Kumo said.

"Yeah,right. Maybe i'll come back to my room." Rikka said leaving. The others followed what she did. Kyoko sighed and then she came back at her office. Meanwhile the Digimon were watching the fact from a screen. They used the same cyber room that Koushiro created for his Digimon and the other Chosen Childrens's ones back in 2005. Many years later that way became famous,and almost everyone used it.

DORUgamon sighed "They argued again."

"I really don't know what to do when this happens." Leomon said.

Veedramon looked at them "Geez. That left me with no words."

"Unfortunately you have to get used to it. It happens many times" Leppamon told to the friend.

"Really?" Veedramon asked with surprise.

"Yes. Mostly because Chikara doesn't agree with Kyoko's ideas." BaoHackmon answered,taking a cup of tea.

"Please have some patience. He just wants to make sure everyone is fine." Leomon said,trying to explain his partner's behaviour.

"I know how you feel,but sometimes if you persist on something,you'll only make it even worse. Just like if you put a little ball on a high top,this will go down faster and faster,trying to stop a problem with so strenght,it will make it bigger." Kabuterimon added.

"Since when you have been so philosophic?" Veedramon asked to him.

"It's a passion that he's got for a few years" Coedramon answered while playing rock,paper scissors with Starmon. That was the third time he lost,and Starmon didn't say anything.

Veedramon then thought about a thing and then he asked that on the other Digimon "You know,we stayed with our partners for 10 years now. But there's one thing i can't understand: Our bonding is very big now,but despite this we never got through the Adult-Level. Why?"

"You know,this is a very interesting question. For what i know,Gabumon and the others managed to evolve to other levels in many times. From when they defeated Etemon to when they were fighting Vamdemon almost everyone achieved the Perfect-Level." Shoutmon answered.

"Who knows. Maybe bonding isn't enough to evolve further. Maybe it requires something like a particular object or training. I know that Patamon was always the last one to achieve both Adult-Level and Perfect-Level-" EX-Veemon said,trying to make a theory.

"If you were going to say the medals,i would have thinked twice. I heard that they were destroyed by Apocalymon,and yet they were able to get through the Adult-Level. But i also heard that for gaining the Perfect-Level again after Apocalymon's death they had to take Qinglongmon's digicore. So…yes,this is a great enigma."Strikedramon said to the others "But it's also interesting. I wonder what my next stage would be."

"The only thing we can do about it is wait. Only time will let us know" Leppamon said.

"Yes,i suppose so" Veedramon concluded.

"hmm…i wonder what should i do with Kyoko" DORUgamon said to himself.

Kasai and Aisu meanwhile sat on another room. "Oh my. What a mess i just saw." Kasai said taking off her hat.

"I know,right? The sad thing is that this often happens" Aisu answered. "When Kyoko has an idea,Chikara is always the first to go against her. This because Kyoko often has some bizarre ideas that can put the agency in trouble."

"For example?" Kasai asked,being curious about the situation.

"One time she suspected of a kid because he had a toy sword in his hands. The mother took action and the agency risked the closure" Aisu Answered,mentioning one of her boss's error.

"Really?" Kasai asked,surprised of what she just heard.

"Yes. Kyoko is a good leader,but sometimes she shows herself like a big jerk." Aisu answered.

"Yes,i know. Since the childhood we are best friends. But even i can't understand what she has on her mind. She has a good heart,like the mother,but i think she still have to understand what is like to be an adult. And to be honest everyone here gets to understand it." Kasai said. In fact,she noticed the situation. Everyone in the agency had some strange features that made the interaction between each other harder. The situation was more different than that on their journey 10 years before. But Kasai known that she couldn't do anything,because since they were adults now they were supposed to face their problems alone.

Aisu noticed that her sister was thinking about something "Is there something wrong,Kasai?"

Kasai blinked her eyes "What? No. It's nothing. I think i'll go to my room to fix some papers."

"Okay then. See you later!" Aisu said,saluting her sister. Kasai saluted back and went out of the room. Then Aisu thinked of Kyoko. "I really wonder if we can manage to get out of this situation"


Later at night,everyone came back at their home. Kyoko lived in a good-looking house. She was on the last floor of a flat and she had everything: kitchen,bathroom,electirc current,a pretty big living room and much more. She lived on her own,so she had no problems with payements. That night she decided to take a bath. While she was inside the bathtub, she thinked of what happened that morning,especially Chikara's last words. "Goddamit,that Chikara is really stupid! I'm the agency's boss! I should decide what to do! He can't always argue! What is wrong with him? What is wrong with me? Gosh,if i were one of my parents in a moment like this would have an internal monologue where i doubt myself." In that moment a voice from the flat near her shouted "You are doing it right now and you're talking! SHUT UP!" Kyoko was embarassed and started to talk lower. "Whataver,tomorrow i'll still go to the Rei Corporation. I need to get answers." She then said. After a while,she got out of the bed,put her pajamas and went to bed.

The next day she woke up pretty early. The urgence of going to the building of the Rei Corporation made her doing everything quickly: She took a donut for breakfast,typical of an American even if she had Japanese origins,took a quick shower,put her clothes and left her house. While she was walking through the streets of San Francisco she thought of something,but it wasn't about Saiba Rei or what happened the day before. "Oh my god. I had that dream again. Now that i think of it…Kasai said that she too had that dream,just like all the others in the agency. How can this be? No,it can't be just a coincidence…" She didn't finished her thought that DORUgamon talked to her. "Are you ok,Kyoko?" Kyoko opened her eyes "Oh! Ehm…no,it's nothing! I was…just thinking how a new blend for my coffee!" DORUgamon made a face of disgust and turned around. After that,Kyoko,since she wasn't looking,clashed with another person.

"Oh,sorry! I wasn't watching!" The other girl said. Kyoko got up "Don't worry. I wasn't watching too…" She interrupted to see with surprise that the girl with she clashed was Aria Artorias,the girl who Kasai worked for. "Aria Artorias! What a surprise to see you here!"

"Is that you ? I'm surprised too!" The other girl answered. She was holding some bags and some papers. Kyoko noticed them "I see that you're pretty busy,if it doesn't disturb you,can i ask you what are you doing?"

Aria replied with a smile "Oh no,i don't mind. Actually,i'm preparing things for my wedding."

"A wedding!?" DORUgamon shouted with surprise. Kyoko put her hand on her mouth "They hear you! A wedding!?" She said too.

"Yes. I'm going to get married next week" Aria replied in a calm way. I just bought the flowers and now i was about to go to the wedding's agency to complete the deal."

"So that boy that was with you last day was…" Kyoko asked.

"Yes. It was my boyfriend" Aria confirmed.

But Kyoko wasn't sure. Something was missing "But…shouldn't you do these things with him? You should listen him too!"

"Oh,don't worry! He agreed with everything. He also made his part" Aria simply replied.

"Say…does he treat you well?" DORUgamon asked.

"Oh yes! We have a very big bonding. In fact we'll even have a baby too." Aria replied again.

"What!? You're pregnant!?" Kyoko shouted. DORUgamon put his small hand on her mouth "They hear you! What!? You're pregnant!?" He said too,just like before but with an inversion.

"Oh yeah,i know it's strange buti it happened. But what about you? Where are are you going?" Aria asked then.

"I'm heading to the building of the Rei Corporation. I wanted to talk with the director. It's related to a case that Kasai Solved a week ago." The other blonde girl replied.

"Oh! About it,how is Kasai doing?" Aira asked.

"She is very nice! She demonstated her skills in a small time! She is part of the family now!" Kyoko answered with happiness.

"Really? That's good. Okay,i have to go now. I hope to see you soon!" Aria saluted her and started to walk.

"Bye!" Kyoko and DORUgamon saltued back. "Well,i'm happy for her! She got to meet her love very soon!" DORUgamon said. But Kyoko had a suspicious look "I don't know DORUgamon. I feel like there is something wrong. Like,she wasn't so happy of it."

"Really? What makes you say that?" DORUgamon asked.

"…nah,never mind" Kyoko closed. And then they started to walk again in direction of the building. On the other hand Aria looked back and had a thought. "A detective agency…the idea gets me…"

While heading to the building Kyoko and DORUgamon heard a familiar voice.

"Hey,Kyoko! What a surprise to see you here!" They turned around to see a tall man with purple hair. He was Ken Ichijouji,one of the second group of chosen children that saved the two worlds in 2002. He was also Miyako's husband and Rina,Toriko and their littlest brother's father. With time,he became a detective for the police. On his shoulder was standing a little bug Child-Level Digimon: His partner,Wormmon.

"O-Oh! ! Sure is a pleasure to see you here!" Kyoko said,bowing her head.

Wormmon made a little laugh "Oh come on,you don't have to be so reverent! And you DORUgamon? Are you ok?"

"Yes,i'm fine! I see you in strong form too!" DORUgamon replied with a smile

"But wait…what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the agency now?" Ken asked.

"Oh…yeah. I decided to go later because i had a commission to do first." Kyoko answered,with some fear.

Ken then looked at her. He immiedieately noticed that something was wrong. "Kyoko,i know that you are a very great detective,but you still have to learn what is the job's world. You have to be careful for what you are doing,because even a small error can tear you apart."

Kyoko silenced for some seconds. "I know ,but…it's just that i want to do what i think it could help others. But everyone says that i'm doing wrong. Just…what i have to do?"

"Hey! No one is blaming you. You are still young,is normal for people like you to don't understand quickly,especially when you get a job in so little time and when you're recommended. Maybe i made a mistake,but i really believe that you have incredible skills. You just need to controll yourself. But remember,believe in the ending you want." Ken said,trying to calm her.

"That's right! Even Ken made some error in the past,but others still wanted to believe in him and he managed to redeem himself. So,i think that you too can show the others who you are! You have DORUgamon,you have your staff and your parents! If there is a problem you can talk with them!"

"Yes…thank you." Kyoko said,feeling better. "And your next line will be by the way how is the agency doing?"

"By the way how is the agency doing? What!?" Ken asked shocked "You still do that,aren't you?"

"Yes,sadly i think she will never stop" DORUgamon said ashamed.

"Hehe,however! It's doing fine! Last week Kasai joined us!"

"Kasai? Taichi and Mimi's daughter?" Wormmon asked with surprise.

"Correct! And she is just awesome!" Kyoko replied.

"Well,that's a good news! Well,i leave you now. And remember what i told you! See you soon!" Ken said leaving.

"Goodbye!" Kyoko said,saluting them. She then turned back and thought. "Believe in your ending…"

Meanwhile Ken and Wormmon were thinking on Kyoko's last words "Man,i never thought that a girl like Kasai could join the agency." Ken said.

"I know! i am scared of her. She is so aggressive. And it's strange because Taichi and Mimi are so kind!"

"Yes,i too recognize that she acts like a bully,but she has a great heart too! And if Kyoko took her it means that she has some balls even if she is a woman!" Ken replied.

"hmm…sure! I think you're right!" Wormmon said,calmed down. Then Ken turned back and thought "I hope that she doesn't make or get into troubles…"


The Rei corporation helped the Digimon to get accepted by humans. It's specialized in developing Gates for the Digital World and digivices. Thanks to their abilities to show Digimon's potentiality,Taichi and the others manged to help Digimon get acknowledged by humans. The corporation's leader and founder,Saiba Rei,was known as a charismatic and optimistic. He was also a Chosen Children since 2002,when Chosen Children started to grow around the world. He said that he was moved just for the purpose of make everything happy,and to seek even further. Normally people trusted him since a long time. But when a criminal declares to work for him,suspects may start to come for someone.

For this reason,Kyoko finally arrived at the entrance of the Rei corpoaration. "Okay,the building is this. Now all i have to do is reach the…" She couldn't end the line that two bodyguards blocked her.

"Excuse me,miss. At this time of day,the building is closed at the pubblic."

"Wait! I'm Kyoko Ishida,founder of the Chesire Cat Agency! I'm a detective! I have to talk with your boss!" Kyoko replied,trying to convince them."

"Sorry, even with your title you can't enter." The other bodyguard said.

"…i see. Sorry for bothering." Kyoko closed getting away.

"Well! You tried. Sorry Kyoko. Maybe next time. I think we have to get back at the agency." DORUgamon said,wanting to go away quickly.

"Yeah,i think you're right..my ass! You know i don't leave a pending issue! So,i'll find a way to get in! And i think i already know how…" Kyoko replied. DORUgamon tried to object but he knew it was useless…

Kyoko then started to ran against the bodyguards. "Hey what are you doing!?" Kyoko then jumped,knocking them out with a strong shot on the neck.

"For god's sake,Kyoko! You are lucky that no one saw you!" DORUgamon exclaimed.

"Hey! Would you have preferred that i used you?" Kyoko replied. DORUgamon then silenced,because he knew she was right,after all. Then Kyoko looked around and saw something white crawling to another direction of the building. Kyoko looked suspicioully.

"Hey! Is there something wrong?" DORUgamon asked. Kyoko blinked her eyes. "No,nothing. Come on,let's go!"

Kyoko and DORUgamon entered at the building. The building had 7 floors. It was disposed in a cylindrical form. On the corners of the cirlce there was the seats of the workers. On the left there were stairs that were leading on the higher floors. Kyoko hided behind a wall "Ok,since i shouldn't be here i have to move in the shadow. That means that you DORUgamon have to get into the Digivice."

"Aw,come on." DORUgamon said sadly and then got in the digivice. "Good! Now i can start to…" she stopped herself,when she noticed that her high heel shoe made some noise. "Aw,yes. I guess that i have to stay barefoot for a while." Then she took off her shoes. After that she finally started to make a move. She walked while hiding on the walls. "This reminds me of that game called Metal Gear Solid,where you have to sneak through the base while you try to be not seen…okay,maybe i shouldn't talk." In a moment she saw another person that was acting like her. He had pink hair and had a lipstick,wearing a purple shirt and pants. "Wait…who is that guy? Is he…trying to reach Saiba Rei too?" Kyoko thought. Then the man turned around and saw her. "Goddamit. A disturb. I can't let her hinder me. Okay,attack!" The other man said,then a Digimon came out from his back. It was a long white cobra with a purple bigwigs. "Let me handle thisss!" the Digimon exclaimed. Then he shoot a poison arrow from his mouth.

"Oh my god!" Kyoko exclaimed and then avoided of little the arrow that finished on a pillar. Then the man climbed on his Digimon that escaped through the air conductor"

"Hey! Come back here!" Kyoko shouted…kinda. She did a shout in a low voice. She tried to following him but then she remembered that she couldn't let herself be seen. "Oh,dammit,i remember. Guess i have no other choice. I have to climb in a normal way."

Then DORUgamon talked from the Digivice "Kyoko that's bad!" Kyoko heard him. "What's wrong?"

"That was a Sandiramon. It's a Perfect-Level Digimon! It is also said to be one of the Devas that serve the Four Holy Beasts!" DORUgamon said,explaining the Digimon's identity.

Kyoko then started to be afraid "What!? A Perfect-Level! And by the reaction he had when he saw me,he must be aiming for Saiba Rei! I have to move. So Kyoko restarted to walk. After a while Kyoko managed to climb the stairs and reached the 1st floor. The floor was just like the ground floor. But this time Kyoko noticed something that could help her. "Very nice! An empty box! I can use it to move through the building while hiding!" She then took the box without being seen and put it above her. The way was the classic one,to move under the box very slowly and when she was near someone she would stop. While she was under the box she was able to hear the conversations of some of the employees.

"I wanted to ask Darla if she wanted to go on a date. What should i do?" One of the employee said.

"Oh,come on! You have to stop being so shy! You look like an anime main character! Gather some courage or that girl will only be your dream!" the other employee said,trying to encourage him

"…Sometimes i wonder why i still ask you for suggestions" The first employee replied.

"Wow,if this conversation had come from a book or a fanfiction i wouldn't be surprised." Kyoko commented from under the box. She then continued to process to the stairs,peeking the stories of the others employees. "With this trick i can arrive to the boss office in less than 30 minutes!" She was going to laugh but stopped by an employee who noticed the box.

"What's this box doing in the middle of nothing? I better have to take it." The employee said.

Kyoko then entered in panic "OH MY GOD! If he takes the box he'll see me! And i don't see a place where i can escape! Ok…calm down Kyoko,if you think, you'll be able to find a way to escape! I know you can do thi-" While she was thinking this the employee already took off the box. Kyoko slowly raised her head and noticed him. She thought of an exclamation point coming out from her. "OH NOOOO!"

"Hey! What are you doing here! I'll get you out of here!" The employee exclaimed.

"Great job Kyoko!" DORUgamon sarcastically exclaimed. "What are we gonna do now!?"

"Don't worry i have this." Kyoko said to him. She then turned on the employee "You won't get me! Because now i'll use my special technique that i use only in extreme times like this!"

"A special technique? Come on! Where do you think you are? In an anime? And what technique would that be?" The employee questioned.

Kyoko then made a little laugh. She got ready…and ran on the opposite side. "RUN AWAAAAAAAAY!"

"AAAAAAAAHH! I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED IT!" DORUgamon said desperately. So she ran faster and faster,ending to reach the 2nd floor…without even knowing it.

"Oh…i reached the next floor. Wait…" Kyoko said,noticing the people on the floor that were watching her. "Not this again…" She thought.

"What happened there?" A woman asked.

Kyoko didn't know what to say. But then she came out with a plausible excuse. "…i hurt my leg." After a minute of embarassing silence the crowd reacted with a simple "Oooooh…" And then returend to work. Kyoko took a sigh of relief. She was able to reach the 3rd floor,the pre-last one. It was emptier of the other floors. Kyoko then had a doubt.

"What's wrong?" DORUgamon asked.

"I don't know…it's too much peaceful here." Kyoko answered looking around.

"You mean…like always on this building except you?" DORUgamon concluded.

"I love you too DORUgamon." Kyoko said. She then looked at the air conductor and had a thought. "Wait…that's the air conductor…the place where that guy and his Digimon escaped…but…we started to climb through the palace at the same time…that means…" Kyoko then pointed at the conductor with a gun.

"Kyoko! What are you doing!?" DORUgamon exclaimed,seeing what her partner was doing. The people on the floor also looked at her. Some of them panicated but others were rather curious.

"I'm making our guest coming out!" Kyoko exclaimed with determination. So she shouted. The projectile hit one of the bolts that made one of the conudctor's parts fall and…she was right. The boy from before felt to the ground. The people made a howl of surprise.

"Ouch! Curse you! How did you know i was there!?" The boy asked.

"Well,you should know that i would climb up too. And spending the same time as me wasn't a big idea. Also,your next line will be i've had enough! Who are you!?" Kyoko answered and predicted his line.

"I've had enough! Who are you!? What!?" The boy said shocked.

"Hehe! My name is Kyoko Ishida! Founder and leader of the Chesire Cat Agency! I just wanted to see the director of this corporation,but now it seems i have to be focused on you! By the way,why don't you show up?" Kyoko answered.

The man then stood up with an angry stare "I'm Straits Hendry! I'm looking for Saiba Rei too! His influence is driving everyone to insanity! It has be shown that the 70 percent of the world population passes more time on the Digital World instead of the real one! They can't get out from the device that he created! That is why i decided to kill him!"

"What!? Listen,i know that you may think like that,but do you really think that erasing the source of your problem will make it better!?" Kyoko asked shocked.

"Yes! I'll provide to fix all the messes he caused!" Dire answered.

"Oh great…we have a megalomaniac. Well,maybe you have good ideals,but your ways are completely wrong! That is why peoples like me exist!" Kyoko said,being ready for the fight. She then summoned DORUgamon from the Digivice. The summoning of the Digimon looked like he came out from Kyoko. It was like he was a manifestation of her soul. "You ready DORUgamon?"

"Yes friend!" DORUgamon said,ready.

"Fine! We'll see who is right by this way!" Dire said,summoning Sandiramon. "Let me handle thisss…massster. The white Digimon said.

Kyoko then turned on the other people "You are recommended get away." And so the people did.

"Sssaving the people won't change nothing!" Sandiramon exclaimed,running against her. DORUgamon stood in front of him and blocked him. "No you won't!" He then grabbed him and threw him away. The snake clashed against a wall. "Power Metal!" DORUgamon shoot an huge metal ball from his mouth,but Sinduramon recovered immediately and avoided it. DORUgamon shooted other balls quickly,the enemy then ran around to avoid them all. "Bǎo Kuí!" Sinduramon threw a poison-drenched halberd at him. DORUgamon got hit and felt. He was lucky because if it wasn't for a few inches,he would have been hit on the neck. DORUgamon then stood up and saw that his body was bleeding.

"DORUgamon! Get out of there! You have to close that wound!" Kyoko said to him,but DORUgamon countered. "No,it's ok. I'll knock him out in time!"

"What? Oh my god…i can't even stop you. This is what bonding is all about. Or at least is what my father told me." Kyoko answered,letting his partner continue the fight. Sandiramon then made a poisonous roar that made other objects on the floor dissolve. "Krishńa!" DORUgamon got stunned from the roar,so Sandiramon took the opportunity and attacked him from a near distance. But despite being stunned,DORUgamon was able to counterattack.

"You're pretty good for an Adult-Level Digimon." Sandiramon said while he was attacking.

"Why do you help a criminal? Aren't you one of the devas that work for the Four Holy Beasts?" DORUgamon asked,trying to get an explanation.

"Fool! The Four Holy Beasssstssss are no more! Sssso i'm free to do what i want! Issssssn't thissss a democratic country?" Sandiramon answered. "Bǎo Kuí!" He then shoot an halberd in front of him. DORUgamon got hit and flew away. He then felt from the ground.

"Dammit…at this point,DORUgamon will get defeated. The problemi s that DORUgamon doesn't have the power to stand against him." Kyoko said. Then she noticed a thing. The key to victory. She looked at the blood strips that felt from DORUgamon's body. "Wait…i have an idea…DORUgamon! Start to slip on the floor."

"What!? That doesn't make any se-" DORUgamon began to object. But immediately he undestood what Kyoko was planning for. "Okay!" He then started to slip,leaving some strips of blood on the floor.

"Is he just slipping on the floor?" Dire exclaimed. Kyoko quickly answered. "That's right! Next you are going to say How pathetic! It means that he is slowly admitting his defeat!"

"How pathetic! It means that he is slowly admitting his defeat! WHAT!?" Dire shocked again. He felt on Kyoko's trick again. "Okay! I've had enough! Sandiramon! Finish him now!" Sandiramon nodded and started to slip in direction of DORUgamon. But in that moment,Kyoko's trump card got activated. Sandiramon slipped and felt on the floor. Dire was shocked. "WHAT!?"

"Yes! My plan worked! You didn't noticed the blood strips that your Digimon's halberd caused by making DORUgamon's body bleed! Now Sandiramon can't move well like before!"

"Cursssesss! I got hit by a stupid bluff!" Sandiramon exclaimed with anger.

"You know Kyoko,you made me risk big! Luckily the blood wasn't that much so i managed to survive. Now it's my chance!" DORUgamon said,the then flew in front of the enemy,grabbed him from the tail with the mouth and slammed him on the floor. Sandiramon made a yell of pain. But he was still standing up. "Don't think you can win thisssss way! All i have to do issssss jump to avoid the ssssstripssss!" He exclaimed. He then jumped in direction of his foe. But DORUgamon was ready this time. "You just made yourself more vulnerable!"

"What does he mean?" Dire said,starting to be worried.

"It means that your ways were wrong! Let's go DORUgamon!" Kyoko exclaimed. "Roger Kyoko!" DORUgamon answered,opening his claws. A fact that the members of Chesire Cat Agency had in common was that everyone had their fight shout. So Kyoko and DORUgamon yelled their one.

"OWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAOWAAAAAAA! POWER BALL!" DORUgamon started to scratch him with his claws and then finished Sandiramon with a last Powe Ball that hit him in the bell,make him fly away.

"Owari da." Kyoko concluded. At the right moment that Kyoko said that line,the ball exploded,making Sandiramon burst into data. Dire was trembling,shocked to see that he got defeated. Kyoko then turned on him. "Owari da is a phrase of Japan,the country where my parents come from. It means It's over."

"Curse you…It's over,you say?" Dire said,getting very angry. He then took his gun,pointing it at Kyoko. "I'M THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHEN IT'S OVER,YOU STUPID DETECTIVE!" He was going to shoot,but Kyoko took his gun and shoot fater than him. The projectile finished on his head. Then,Dire's dead body,which it was still standing,felt from one of the windows.

Kyoko panted for the agitation. She then became sad. "Dammit,i had no choice but to kill him. I always try toavoid that choice,but sometimes i'm forced to do it. And that makes me sad."

DORUgamon came near her. "Come on,Kyoko,you don't have to say that. I'm not saying that it was the best of the choices,but as a leader,you know that this is the price of the work. Think of it,this is why we and other people and Digimon with important jobs exist! I'm sure that one day things like these won't happen again. And you can contribute for creating that future! You are a big jerk i know,but a good factor of yours,is that you are a wonderful girl that tries always her best and do wonderful actions! You should be happy of what you've just done! You helped the Rei Corporation!"

Kyoko heard his partner's words that made her remind Ken's words. So her beautiful smile came back "Yeah! I think you're right! Thank you for being my partner."

"Well,that's my duty! Now,could you please close my wound? I think i'm gonna collpase…" DORUgamon then said,remembering the aperture that was caused by Sandiramon's opening.

"…HOLY SHIT! That's true!" Kyoko exclaimed,remembering just now of that wound. She then took some paper and closed it. Then the two bodyguards from before entered in. "There she is! I told you that the building was close at this time of day! Now get out of here!" One of the bodyguards said.

"Oh god,what now?" Kyoko sighed. But then a voice from the speakers of the floor came out.

"It's all right,boys. Let her meet me." The voice said.

"What? But sir…" The bodyguards tired to object but…"Do as i say." The bodyguards silenced for a minute. "You can go."

"Well…thanks. Okay DORUgamon,i think it's a good idea to rest inside the Digivice." Kyoko said.

"Yeah,you're right. These wounds still hurt!" DORUgamon said,and then he dissaperead into the Digivice.

Finally the moment was there. The leader of the Chesire Cat Agency was finally be able to know the truth. She reached the 4th and last floor of the building,the office's one. She opened the door to the director's office.

"Come in" the voice from before speaked. Kyoko,with a little bit of fear got near. The deep voice belonged to him. A 50 years old man with long white hair,that were their natural color,wearing a black, high-collared, leather coat that has a red interior and yellow lining. This coat is grey from the waist down and had several buttons lining the hips, a belt around his waist, and a second one that extended from the waist and up to the collar to connect to several smaller straps. The four shorter straps were buttoned to either side of the front of the collar while the remaining ones were buttoned to the shoulders to form spaulders. A black leather pauldron was attached to each spaulder by three buttons and two straps that button the the rim of the coat and two more that crossed over his upper back. Underneath this coat, he wore a white, thigh-length vest. This vest is also high-collared and exposed most of his chest with three black buttons and two thin belts near his waist closing it up while the three remaining buttons below were undone. in addition, wore wide brimmed, white gloves with three buttons lining the forearms and a grey band on either wrist. He also wore black pants and black that were tucked into knee-high boots with silver trimming and high concave indentations in the top.

He was Saiba Rei.

"It's a pleasure to meet you,Kyoko Ishida. I've heard of your agency." He gently said.

"W-well,it's an honour to hear those words." Kyoko simply replied. She was afraid. He somehow made the situation more creepy.

"You don't have to say it. I can clearly see that something troubles you. What is it?" Saiba then asked. Kyoko thought "Well Kyoko,it's now or never." She then told the director about Sykes Connor's deal.

"Oh i see…" Saiba simply answered. Kyoko was about to getting really worried and scared. She started to thought that she really done something wrong and started to coming out with a way to excuse with Chikara,but what Saiba said next was quite surprising. "I'm…really sorry about this. At these days,it's clearly normal that when someone became very famous,many peoples have different opinions about him. There are some people who lives him and some people who hates him,like the criminal you just stopped. But even people who loves that person can be a bad things,because there can be guys with problems that could end to adore someone. Love a person can be a good experience that can help you to grow,but adore him can lead you to doom. And nowdays,with humans that have a Digimon,very serious conflicts might happen. I knew about the story of the Digimon Kaiser that happened many years ago and that was related to the Chosen Children. I want to create a society where everyone can accomplish their wishes if they seek him. But,maybe i should have checked things more carefully,if that is the result. I sincerely thank you for advising me about this,and i'll take measures for it. Also,if something else like this happens,please report me. Let's help each other to make sure that events like the Digimon Kaiser won't happen again."

Kyoko was really moved about his speaking. "Thank you ,this means really a lot to me."

"You are welcome. Remember,Kyoko Ishida. If you want your desire to became reality,you have to go forth and seek for a way to accomplish it. My motto is always to go forth now and seek. You can go now." Saiba Rei answered smiling.

"Okay! Goodbye!" Kyoko saluted him. When the girl went out from the room Saiba opened a secret door,for a special room. This room was completely dark and there was capsules with Digimon on their inside. Another Digimon was waiting for him. It had a big size and it looked like he was wearing a black armor.

"Is everything alright?" The Digimon asked.

"Yes. She exited from the room." Saiba answered.

"Good,we were going to get discovered,but thanks to your speech,we survived." The Digimon said then.

"Don't get me wrong. I really do believe in what i just said. But sometimes you have to do things that go against the law. I tried to find other ways for our purpose,but this seems to be the only one. And the fact that these detectives almost find out what is going on i have to change my ways,because now i know the meaning of Sykes's last message. These young boys and girls might be a threat for us. They have to be stopped." Saiba said.

"Remember,i'm your partner and your friend,i will always follow your purpose." The Digimon said.

Saiba made a little grin. "I'm happy to hear that." He then grabbed a little device. "Sykes Connor,i understood the meaning of your message,and i recognize it as your failure. You made us almost get discovered. End your life."

Meanwhile in the prison,Sykes heard the message and he was shocked of his boss's order. "B-but…friend…okay….anything for you." He closed with tears on his eyes. He then gave a big header against the wall,damaging his brain and his skull,making him falling to the ground. When the cops came to see the situation they were horrified to see what happened. Sykes Connor was deceased.


Kyoko finally made her way back to the agency. Waiting for her at the entrance was Chikara. He seemed very nervous. "So? What happened?" He asked.

"Don't worry,everything went fine. But i admit that i was wrong yesterday. You had your motivations to object my decisions,good ones. Then,today i met some people that made me reflect my behaviour,and i promise to act better,as your leader!" Kyoko answered,apologizing to him.

"So you admit it. But…i too,have to apologize. You too had your motivations for doing so,and maybe i was too angry because i wanted to prevent damages for the agency,since it isn't the first time you decide to make rushed moves. But maybe you weren't so wrong to have that doubts. So i'm sorry." Chikara said,apologizing too.

Kyoko took a deep breath. "We really are a desperate case,aren't we? But i can understand,and you are forgiven. So…i think that is a good excuse to taste my new coffee!" She then said with a smile.

"WHAT!?" Chikara shouted,knowing her terrible tastes of coffee.

Some minutes later a yell of despair could be heard from the whole agency. Kasai and Sasuke were especially close to Kyoko's office.

"Oh,man! I wonder what devilish ingredients she put this time!"

And Kasai closed with a simple "Good grief…"
