"HEY CREEPS!! YOU LIKE TO GANG UP ON PEOPLE?! HOW'S ABOUT GANGING UP ON US?!!"
It was like something out of a superhero movie. As I stood with my back against a wall, cornered by Sorcermon and Witchmon, hired agents of certain people that are after me, I heard the sound of a heroic girl cry out in my direction! Both me and my two attackers turned our heads to the direction of the shouter. In the distance I saw a brunette girl in a pink and white shirt and yellow shorts standing beside a big white armored cat-like beast wearing an ancient egyptian mask covering it's face
'Holy crap,' I thought to myself, 'they couldnt possible be... could they?'
"BEAM OF ISIS!!"
*WOOSH!*
Witchmon jumped out of the day of a bright sparkling pink beam while Sorcermon was unlucky enough to get knocked back a couple yards from the blast! Granted it was far from a fatal blast, but the wizard in the white suit and cape struggled a bit as he got back up. That's gotta say something!
"What?!! U-Unbelievable!!" Witchmon's jaw dropped in surprise at the two new strangers that joined the fight, "Is... is that the Digidestined?! The Masters didnt say anything about THEM being involved!" Digidestined! That word struck a chord to me! Holy crap, it was them!!
"Urgh... who cares?!" Sorcermon groaned but stomped toward them, wielding his snowflake-shaped staff, "if they wish to pry into matters that arent any of their business, let them reap the consequences!"
"Are you out of your mind, Sorcermon?!" fortunately for him, Witchmon was the rational one in the duo, "if we try to fight, they'll alert the OTHER Digidestined!"
"Let them all come! I'll destroy them all for my master!" sadly Sorcermon was too stubborn to listen to reason. Good thing is partner wasnt having any of it!
"Sorcermon! We need to retreat! NOW!" she demanded.
The tough midget squinted his eyes, but complied with his taller partner in red then sneered at you, "Your little friends cant protect you forever, Mr. Flame! We'll see you cooperate soon enough!!" And with that subtle mention that I havent seen the last of them, they made their retreat.
I was relieved and grateful that I was saved, but it's only a brief moment to relax. They were gonna come back for me. Just like the last couple of times! And worst of all, I didnt even know WHY they were after me! They apparently wanted something from me, but I never exactly learned what!
"Hey! Are you ok?"
I turned my head to see my savior running to me. I'll admit... she wasnt bad looking. And by 'wasnt bad looking', I mean 'DAYUMN'! If this were one of those slap-stick cartoons, my tongue woulda been rolling over the ground! Not just cuz the girl was hot, but because I knew exactly who this girl was!
'WHA...OH... OH MY GOD!!" I looked like I was playing it cool, but inside I was squealing with excitement, 'IT'S... IT'S HER! SHE'S HER!!! SHE'S K-KARI KAMIYA!! THE DIGIDESTINED CHI-ER, GIRL!! KARI KAMIY SAVED MY LIFE!' and it pretty much went on from there!
"Youre not hurt, are you?"
"Hm-WHOA!" the second I turned around, I had to jump back in surprise that the Legendary heroine of Legend's digimon was already inches away from me! How she managed to sneak up on me like that was an unsolved mystery. Though the mask showed a face of no emotion, I felt a hint of intrigue behind it. I backed away a little in fright as she edged closer.
"Er.. n...no, I-I'm fine," I pretended not to be intimidating by the huge sphinx digimon and completely sucked at it.
"No youre not," the digimon objected, "your arm. It's bleeding."
The sphinx was right. There was a rather big scrape across my arm. "Oh. It's alright. I mustve scraped it while I was trying to run away."
"Kari, did you bring any bandages?" the sphinx was awful concerned for my well being, "some hydrogen peroxide at least? Where's your first aid kit?"
"It's ok," I assured her, "I'll treat it myself later. I really appreciate your concern though. Heck, I really appreciate you rescuing me like you did!" Odd. I dont remember seeing a blush expression on her mask earlier!
"What were those creeps doing?" Kari asked you, "they seemed to know your name. Why were they after you?" Good question.
"I... dont know," unfortunately I didnt have the answer, "they just demanded I hand over something to their bosses and they wouldnt even tell me what! I tried asking them and they just attacked me. Guess they thought I already knew."
"That's terrible!" the sphinx digimon remarked, "has this happened before?!" She was very perceptive.
"Y-yeah..." I humbly admitted, "a couple of times. But this was the first time I wasnt able to run away."
"So they've threatening you often?" Kari questioned, "you dont have any enemies, do you?"
"Not that I know of," I said.
Kari then looked toward her digimon, "Nefertimon, are you aware of any rogue digimon groups or fowl tamers that have been prowling around here?"
"Unfortunately, no," Nefertimon humbly answered, "I wouldve brought them to your attention much sooner if I did. I'm sorry I'm not able to help, Mr. Flame."
"Tsk! Are you kidding?!" I told that sphinx, "you and your tamer were a BIG help to me today! Thank you so much for bailing me out of there. If you two didnt show up... who knows what wouldve happened!" I even stroked the ever so generous digimon's back (cuz it was the only part of her without armor!)
"!!!" she practically flinched the minute my hand was touching her. At first I thought that was a bad reaction, but she then nuzzled her masked head against mine and purred awful loudly. I could hear her heart pounding loudly as well as she purred! Part of me was picking up some odd vibes from her reaction, but since she was clearly liked my petting, I happily obliged.
"Ooo...so good..." I heard her mumble in between her purrs!
"Perhaps we should get indoors before they come back," Kari suggested, "there's no telling how many more of them are there." That sounded like a plan. What if those goons had backup?! Some questions were better left unanswered.
It took Nefertimon a little while to snap out of it after I stopped petting her. "...Oh... oh yes. Yes that's a very good idea."
"Our apartment isnt far from here," Kari suggested an offer that was next to impossible to refuse, "you can stick around with us for the time being. Maybe we can put something on that arm of yours too."
I only heard 'out apartment' and 'you can stick around with us'. I'm being invited to the house of THE Legendary Digidestined heroine herself! I'd be a damn fool to refuse such a generous offer. And that's not even including the benefit of having a digidestined look out for me as protection!
"That's a great plan, Kari," Neferti nodded... odd, I dont recall the face on that mask smiling earlier! "Mr. Flame wont be in safer hands than ours." That tone of her voice sounded a tad bit unnerving. If I didnt know any better, I would sorta think it seemed a little... seductive.
"Then let's get a move on, already! Time's a wasting!" Kari was ready to move.
And so was Nefertimon... though she'd prefer to take her time.
"Yes, Kari," she obediently replied then turned her smiling, blushing masked face to me, "let's go, Mr. Flame." And with that, she walked past me, following behind her tamer.
My eyes widened when I felt the bushy blue end of her tail suddenly run across my cheek as she walked! I practically froze stiff in sudden shock from that mischievous tail as it swung on rhythm with the eye-catching sway of her hips.
I forced myself out of that trance and couldnt believe what I was doing! Was I seriously checking out Kari's digimon?! Her DIGIMON of all things?!
I told myself that I was thinking WAY too hard about this. To just pretend that thought never crossed my mind and moved on. Of course telling myself that and actually DOING it were two different things!
But enough about that! I had something far more important! I was invited to Kari's home and there was absolutely NO way I was gonna refuse such a generous offer!
No matter how odd Nefertimon was acting toward me... nope! No matter at all!
