Kouji blinked sleepily at the one who woke him, before yawning and stretching, and then glaring.
Though, he had been up just a scant few hours ago, Kouji was still quite sleepy, and he was definately not a person.
In response to Beliamon's bright and sunny exterior, Kouji rolled over and attempted to go back to sleep.
Beliamon's smile and happy aura immeadiately left her and she glared at Kouji's back.
"And this is how you act to the one who feeds you?" Fine. No breakfast for you." Beliamon atttempted scolding Kouji.
Kouji, showing no inclination as to getting up, waved a hand in the air as if to dismiss her.
"Fine with me. If yo've forgotten, I STILL don't trust you. Plus, I'm getting fat anyway. I need to lose some weight, especiialy after how I pigged out last night." Kouji stated.
'That was pigging out?' Beliamon thought to herself. 'Then I have more work to do than I originally thought...'
Instead of voicing her thought, however, Beliamon simply crossed her arms and decided to taunt Kouji.
"Why worry about your weight now? YOu certainly weren't before I 'abducted' you? It was almost as if you were TRYING to get fat.
That caught Kouji's attention and, his temper flared, he turned to glare at his captor.
"What!? Why would I want to become fat?!" He exclaimed.
Beliamon inwardly smirked as her taunt produced the desired effect and she feigned a look of surprise.
"Oh, well from what I've heard of the real world, many children are putting on weight-"
"And where would you hear such things?"
"Before Ayzahn Ra was destroyed, a powerful clan of fire digimon watched over the Temple of Fire. Their leader was Agumon, and while only at Rookie level, had once held the form of WarGreymon, a Mega level, and had supposedly travelled with a human to the real world long ago. He told me a story once of how many of the children there seemed to be getting larger."
The story was true. When Beliamon had been but in her In-Training form, she had heard the tale from Agumon, who had travelled with the children known as the Digidestined long ago and was renowned throught Ayzahn Ra for his storytelling skills.
And believing her story, Kouji's teeth were clenched in frustration and he glared at the ground.
"Well, I suppose that thats true...the precentage of overweight children in most modern nations has increased the past few years, but Japan's nothing compared to America! And even so, that's no reason for ME to get fat!" Kouji grumbled.
In response, Beliamon only chuckled and conjured a breakfast for her captive while he was destracted and sat down acroos from him on the floor with the food on a tray in her lap, much like the previous night, in hopes he would eat while talking to her.
As she placed the tray of food, a generous helping of bacon and eggs, some french toast, a blueberry muffin, and a tall glass of orange juice,a relatively tiny breakfast, on Kouji's own lap(producing a wide-eyed look from the blue-haired boy), she decided to press the subject more.
"I still don't see why it would be so awful, your friends were gaining weight as well. Especially the one who holds the Spirits of Fire, what was his name again?"
"Where did THIS come from?!" Kouji ignored her question and pointed at the delectible breakfast on his lap.
"It was here all along, you just didn't notice. Now eat and answer the question." Beliamon lied.
"Huh?...Oh! You mean Takuya." At the memory of his friend, Kouji laughed, absentmindedly taking a bite of the blueberry muffin.
"So that's his name. Well, he was putting on weight as well, about at your pace, and he seemed rather content."
At that Kouji chuckled, now chewing on a strip of bacon as beliamon watched him carefully, excited at how her plan was working.
"You obviously don't know Takuya. From what he's told me, he plays soccer back in the Real World, he's a really active guy...but then again he's also got a really active apetite. I also hear that his mom is like, afraid of fat."
"Then how could he possibly gain weight while travelling all over the Digital World, locked in a battle with the Dark Lord Cherubimon?" Beliamon asked a bit dramatically.
Kouji blushed a bit at this,stopping mid-chew on a piece of frecnh toast, as beliamon waited for him to say what she already knew.
"Well...um, you see these past few weeks, there really hasn't been anything for us to be active about. We just made camp in this grove of meat apples until we got any leads on Cherubimon. So we were there, in a grove of very delicious meat apples and I guess we just started to chow down..." Kouji mumbled, putting a hand to his stomach.
"Unfortuantely, as a result we also started packing on the pounds.."
It was then that several things happened. Kouji, reminded about his recent weight increase, had realized he had been eating ANOTHER meal from his captor, a quite fattening one at that, and it was at this time Belimaon cackled, picking up the almost finished breakfast from Kouji's lap, satisfied with herself.
Recovering, Kouji glared at the dark digimon.
"You...you tricked me!" He exclaimed, pointing a finger at Beliamon, now towering over him.
In response, she once again feigned surprise and put her free hand on her hip.
"Oh! You caught me! They call you Sherlock where you come from?" She taunted with a sarcastic remark as she sat the tray on one of the table-like rock formations.
Kouji's response was a glare.
"Are you TRYING to make me fat?" He asked her with venom dripping from his voice.
Beliamon chuckled to herself. If only Kouji knew how right he was.
Instead, she sat back down across from the pony-tailed boy and gave him a sympathetic look.
"I just want you to eat. You have to eat something to survive. You really should stop worrying about getting fat. And even if you were to add a few pounds here and there would it be so terrible? What's so bad about being fat?" Beliamon questioned her prisoner.
A moment or two, fire danced within Kouji's eyes as he continued to glare at her, but he surprised her when a sad look came over his features and he glanced down at the ground.
"Kouji?" She ventured, wondering why the sudden change in his behavior.
Immeadiately, the fire was back in his eyes and Kouji's fists clenched as he glared at Beliamon.
"Its nothing. I just want to get out of this stupid cave or temple or whatever, get back to my friends, and, most of all, GET AWAY FROM YOU." He shouted harshly, causing Beliamon to wince.
A hurt look in her eyes, Beliamon said nothing as she rose regally, took the tray with the remains of Kouji's breakfast, and left down a corridor, without even a backaward glance at the miffed Holder of Light.
Kouji glared at her retreating form. Past his emotions, he knew he shoudn't have shouted at the human looking digimon. He knew she was a lonely soul, much like himself, but she had captured him, taunted him about his recent weight gain, tricked him into eating far larger servings than he would normally eat of quite fattening foods, probably making him gain MORE weight, and had almost caused some painful memories to resurface.
Trying to calm himself, Kouji decided to glare at a wall.
He was able to do so for about a few minutes before being driven out of his mind with boredom.
'What does she expect me to do for the other 23 hours left in the day?' Kouji sarcastically thought, rolling his eyes.
Trying to pass the time, he tried to think of his friends. He wondered what they were doing now.
Kouji smiled at the thought.
He could imagine them all. Tommy in his large hat, chasing after bugs in a field. JP professing his love for Zoe. ZOe knocking JP out. Takuya taking a large bite out of a meat apple and rubbing his stomach, smiling cheekily.
Kouji's smile fell, replaced with a frown.
The thought of Takuya rubbing his stomach reminded Kouji of his weight problem, his hand moving to his now full stomach.
He supposed that it woudn't be ALL bad if he was fat....he just didn't want to be the odd one out in the group.
Sure, JP was fat, but JP was jolly and funny and had his jokes. Kouji's personality wasn't suited to be fat. It wouldn't be so bad if the whole group were fat, though...
Kouji blinked realizing what he had just thought. He woudn't wish obesity on his friends! Kouji shook his head as if to clear it.
Sighing, Kouji decided to try to go back to sleep as he lied down back onto his bed. He would just have to eat less, and watch out for Beliamon.
Kouji then closed his eyes and cleared his mind of thoughts, trying to pass the long day. It was when he was almost asllep that a sound surprised him, causing him to sit up...
