amari plopped her head on the desk as the bell for lunch rang. "i'm so tired..." she mumbled quietly. she heard a pair of footsteps stopping in front of her desk.
"couldn't sleep?" the blue haired boy in front of her asked as he sat down in the desk in front of her. the dark skinned girl nodded, slowly raising her head. "yeah." she muttered. "my cousins wanted to have a long discussion with me before we leave." she mentioned. henry raised an eyebrow.
"the ones that are coming with us?" he asked. the plum haired girl nodded her head. "yeah. we met one of them before." she stated. "back in akihabara." she added. the blue haired boy furrowed his eyebrows. "the tamer of the other digimon?" he questioned. "he's your cousin?" he asked. amari nodded her head. "yeah." she stated. "his name his asahi." she informed. "and he has a twin brother named yuzuru." she said. "they're pretty chill when you get to know them." she stated. the blue haired boy nodded his head.
"if you say so."
-slight time skip, in front of the school-
"oh." the young girl said, brown eyes watching watching two boys walk towards her and her friend. "you guys are early." she stated. "did you two even go to school?" she asked, placing a hand on her hip. the twin with brown eyes snickered and placed a hand on amari's head. "and if we didn't?" he teased, looking down at her.
"i would totally snitch to aunt shiori."
"please don't do that." the younger twin sighed, shoving a hands in his pocket. "we had dentist appointment." he stated. "mom was the one who dropped us off." he added. amari nodded, swatting asahi's hand away from her head. "ok good." she said, looking over at the blue haired boy. "this is henry and his partner, terriermon." she stated. "henry, these two are asahi and yuzuru." she added. "they're my cousins." she finished. the younger twin hummed as he extended a hand to the blue haired boy.
"nice to meet you." he greeted. henry gave the teen a small smile before taking his hand. "likewise." he said. asahi nodded, wrapping an arm around his little cousin's shoulders. "mari hasn't caused any trouble here, has she?" he asked, looking over at the girl. "if she has, i apologize on her behalf." he stated. the short girl furrowed her eyebrows, moving away from the older twin.
"i'm not a troub-"
"hey henry, mari!" a familiar voice called out, catching both of the kids attention. the girl's golden brown eyes wandered over to a group of kids walking towards them. "by the time she reads those, we'll be long gone!" a hatted brown haired boy exclaimed.
"stop!"
"oh nuts..." the group sighed, turning around and watching their teacher run towards them. yuzuru hummed, leaning towards his cousin. "a teacher?" he whispered, earning a nod from her. she pointed at the group in front of them. "their teacher to be more specific." she stated, earning a nod from the younger twin.
"what is this?" the brown haired woman asked, raising up a notebook. "what do you mean you're not coming back, huh?" she asked, glancing at her students. takato blinked at her, tilting his head. "like we said, we have to go to the digital world." he stated. their teacher shook her head at the silly notion.
"you don't have to do nothing of the sort!" she exclaimed. she paused, light brown eyes wandering to the kids in front of them. "wait a minute..." she started. "are you the children that were seen with the digimon?" she asked. the rabbit like creature on henry's shoulder waved his tiny arm.
"you talkin' about me?" he asked cheerfully, earning a gasp from the woman.
"ms. asaji, we didn't want you to worry." the brown haired girl stated, smiling up at her teacher. "we couldn't just leave without saying anything to you." she added. the hatted boy next to her nodded, putting his arms behind his back. "and you don't want us around." he said. "we're nothing but trouble." he joked. the other two boys next to him chuckled at him. "why don't you speak for yourself, doofus?" the green haired boy asked.
"is this suppose to be funny?!" the brown haired teacher asked, glaring down at the kids. "how do you think this makes me feel?" she asked. "you're my responsibility!" she exclaimed. "and those creatures can be dangerous!" she added. amari's eyes watched as the woman continue to rant to her students. the white creature in her backpack tugged on the back of her shirt, gaining her attention.
"mari." she started, mouth slowly forming into a smile. "how about you give her the ole amari charm." she said. the plum haired girl blinked at her partner, eyes wandering back to the brown haired teacher.
"ole amari charm?" the older twin spoke, looking at his cousin. "lunamon, what are you-"
"ms. asaji, right?" the young girl started, walking over to the woman. both of her cousins watched as she stopped in front of the woman, eyeing her with caring eyes.
"i understand how you must feel right now." she said. "how could a set of middle schoolers possibly help the current situation?" she asked rhetorically. "and my answer to that is this.." she paused, taking a deep breath.
"we were meant for this." she finished, smiling up at the woman. the teacher gazed down at the plum haired girl and then back at the students behind her. "if it make you feel any better, we're actually gonna go tell our parents now." amari stated. takato nodded his head, standing next to the dark skinned girl. "so, we'd appreciate it if you don't tell anyone else until tomorrow." he stated. jeri nodded her head. "i promise we'll be fine." she reassured once more. kazu nodded his head next. "and besides, i'll be there to keep an eye on them." he joked. ms. asaji shook her head at them.
"you can't...."
"come on lady!" terriermon exclaimed cheerfully. "moumentai!" he chirped. the woman furrowed her eyebrows at the unfamiliar word. lunamon rested her head on top of her tamer's head. "it means don't worry." she smiled. with that, all the kids before ms. asaji bowed.
"goodbye, ms.asaji." takato said before turning around and walking away from her.
-slight time skip-
"you're telling me that we searched every block in the city and it was here the whole time?" the red haired girl asked before scoffing. "typical."
"guilmon, i don't know how you got to it without a bulldozer but i'm impressed." henry stated as he walked up to the red dragon like digimon. "why, thank you." he gushed. the hatted boy chuckled.
"man, we are so gonna party." he said. kenta glanced over at him. "can we...barbecue there?" he asked. the brown haired girl looked over at them. "we're on a mission." she stated, looking away from them. "not fun." she added. kazu furrowed his eyebrows at her, eyes filled with confusion. "you lost me." he stated. rika turned towards them.
"hold it." she started. "you guys don't even have partners." she said. "so why are you coming along, again?" she asked. the older twin furrowed his eyebrows, glancing down at his cousin. "those two don't have digimon?" he asked, pointing at the two boys. the plum haired girl nodded her head. "they don't..." she muttered, glancing up at him. "i didn't even know they were coming until i saw them at the gate." she stated.
"why should you get to have all the fun?" kazu asked, glaring at the redhead. "we're coming so we could find our own partners and you can't stop us!" he exclaimed, looking back at his bespectacled friend.
"right?"
"right!"
"okay troops." the gogglehead of the group said, walking over to them. "we meet here tomorrow at 0600 hours." he stated. "we'll embark in a periless journey into a dimension fraught with dangers here too far for man." he said. "so, remember to pack a toothbrush." he stated. yuzuru chuckled at the boy.
"he sure is into this."
"yeah, he's like, the wonder boy of our little group." the dark skinned girl stated. "total dreamer."
"that's rich coming from the space case herself." asahi snickered, earning a glare from amari.
-time skip, tenya residence-
"i'm home!" the plum haired girl exclaimed as she walked into her apartment.
"shiori, amari is not going!" her mom's voice shouted, gaining the girl's attention. her golden brown eyes eyes wandered over to her mother, who hover over the shorter woman. "she's been through enough this year alone." she spat. "now, you're telling me that she has to go some digital world and save the world?" she asked. the plum haired woman that sat on the couch nodded her head at the question.
"that's exactly what i'm saying."
"she's not going."
"but mom..." the girl said, watching both of the women turn her head towards her. the young girl took a deep breath before looking up at her mother. "mom, i have to go." she said with pleading eyes. "this isn't some school trip. the world is at stake." she stated.
"you don't have to go anywhere." her mother said sternly. "you're only twelve years old!" she cried out. "what do you think you could do?!"
"she can do a lot, mom." the black haired boy stated, looking over at his mother. "a lot more than what you think." he stated. the woman glanced over at her son with angry eyes. "like what, huh?" she asked.
"did you know that she can go out to taito by herself?" he asked. "or that she can tend to her own injuries if they're not too bad?" he continued. "she can be left home alone." he added. "and she may not agree with me, but her anxiety around other people has gotten better." he stated, looking back at his sister. "she even made up with hana." he smiled. the younger tenya's eyes widened at her older siblings words.
"tamaki..."
"and lunamon can list a lot more." he stated, facing forward and closing his eyes. yuko furrowed her eyebrows at him. "lunamon?" she questioned. "who's that?" she asked.
"me ma'am!" a little voice squeaked, catching the woman off guard. very quickly, the white digimon hopped out of her tamers backpack and landed on the couch. "i'm lunamon!" she chirped, raising her hand. the black haired woman gasped as the rabbit like creature spoke. "y-you're one of those digimon..." she whispered, earning a nod from lunamon. "yes, i am." she stated before taking a deep breath.
"you have such an amazing daughter, mrs. tenya." she said, giving the woman a small smile. "she's very put together and really polite." she stated. "and she's not a troublemaker by any means." she continued. "i'm pretty sure she can handle herself in the digital world." she finished. the black haired woman glanced over at her daughter and then back to the digimon before her.
"that's not what i'm worried about." she stated, looking away. "i'm afraid of her getting hurt." she stated. lunamon nodded at the concern. "and that's why i'm here." she reassured. "because amari, she's made me stronger than before." she stated. the dark skinned girl looked down at the rabbit digimon before her.
"lu..."
"mari, you're the best partner i could ever ask for." lunamon said, looking at her tamer. the younger tenya felt tears coming out of her eyes. she reached over and grabbed lunamon, hugging her tightly.
"i'm the only partner you've got, lu." she mumbled. the moon digimon chuckled at her. "and that makes you the best." she stated. yuko watched as her daughter clung to the little rabbit digimon. tears began to stream down her face.
"just so you know, kei already knows about this." shiori stated, looking up at yuko. "he wants her to go as well." she said. "he knows how important this is." she finished. tamaki nodded his head, looking at his aunt.
"are asa and yuzu going along, too?"
"of course." shiori stated, looking at him. "they're gonna be her sense of backup." she reassured. "according to them, there are other tamers that are going too." she stated. "most of them go to her school and they all look like they have each other's backs for the most part." she smiled. the teen nodded his head, looking up at his mother. "see mom?" he questioned, smiling at her. "mari's not gonna be alone." he stated. the woman sniffled, reaching up and wiping her eyes. she took a deep breath, silver eyes wandering over to lunamon.
"lunamon, please." the woman pleaded, gaining the digimon's attention. "please look after my girl." she said. the moon digimon nodded her head, giving the woman a small smile.
"no worries, mrs. tenya." she stated. "i got her."
-time skip, the next day-
"asa, yuzu!" the youngest tenya shouted, running over to her twin cousins. "you two are here earlier than i thought." she said. the younger twin nodded his head. "mom woke us up." he stated, leaning towards his cousin. "she didn't want asahi to sleep in." he whispered.
"i was not gonna sleep in!"
"uh-huh." both yuzuru and amari said, smirking at the boy. the older twin growled, grabbing his little cousin and tussling with her plum colored locks. "i'm surprised you woke up this early too, space case!" he snickered. the young girl pouted, shoving asahi away from her. "henry had came by and walked with me." she huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "and on top of that, i actually went to bed early." she stated, leaning towards asahi. "pretty sure you stayed up and played video games last night." she said teasingly. yuzuru whistle at the come back.
"nice one, mari."
"who's side are you on?"
"my own."
"here comes the calvary!" takato's voice exclaimed, catching everyone's attention. "chumley!" the hatted boy exclaimed, watching his friend jog towards everyone. "sorry i'm late." he apologized, stopping before them. lunamon's eyes wandered up at the flag he had held, scanning the new faces on it.
"there's more!" she exclaimed, pointing at the flag. amari hummed at her, nodding her head. "yuzu and asa are even on there." she said, looking at the poorly drawn versions of her cousins.
"what the heck is that?!" kazu shouted, glaring at the flag. the green haired boy next to him chuckled. "i think that's us." he stated. his friend shot a look back at him. "i'm not that ugly!" he exclaimed. the gogglehead smiled at the tamers. "it's a tamers flag!" he chirped, earning a scoff from the redhead.
"not this again." she groaned. the brown haired girl with them smiled and looked at takato. "i think it's wonderful." she beamed. the brown haired boy smiled at her as he scratched the back of his neck. "aw, thanks." he gushed.
"wonderful?" kazu said, glancing up at the poorly drawn version of him. "i got no nose!" he exclaimed. everyone chuckled at his observation.
"who's there?" the red haired girl asked, hearing footsteps from behind them. the laughter died down as they watched a blonde haired man emerge from the bushes. "it's creepy dude.." kenta murmured, watching the man walk towards them. "what do you want?" the blue haired boy asked. amari scowled, holding lunamon close to her chest.
"so, are you kids taking off?" the blonde man asked, earning a nod from henry. "yeah." he said. the brown haired gogglehead nodded, taking a step forward. "and you can't stop us!" he exclaimed. the man sighed, reaching into his pocket. "i can't let you go." he paused, tossing something over takato. "not without this anyway." he said. the youngest tenya blinked, looking down at the device in her friend's hand.
'is that...'
"it's a comm device." yamaki said, taking off his glasses. "you you can stay in touch." he stated. "now, go get 'em." he smiled. the brown haired tamer looked up at him and smiled. "i can't believe it." he said. he took a deep breath before turning around to his team.
"right!" he exclaimed. "digimon tamers, it on to the digital world!" he shouted.
