The Next Plan for Adventure - [OPEN]

As Canisdramon looked at him, probably having discerned his thoughts about the female Tamer and Digimon, the lupine Digimon couldn't help but to smile slightly. It was incredible how they had a deep connection between them, despite having just met a week before. Then, the canine Digimon told him that, he would've to fight for his trophy again sooner or later. The Dark Area creature showed him his fangs, playfully.

-Hehe. I'm looking forward to it, Lightie! -he said, using a nickname opposite to the one he had been given earlier. It was then when the conversation ensued, and they ended up talking about where to go. To Sangloupmon's "unwanted company" answer on whether they should go to Primary Village together, the answers were almost immediate. First, his friend and rival asked him what he meant, confused; however he was interrupted by Ayaka, who, as Dorumon's evolution expected, quickly asked him the same, in a way that implied that she knew he was talking about her.

For once, she was wrong. -This has nothing to do with you, Ayaka. Even I don't know why, but hearing that name just made me sick to death -the wolf-like creature said, icily. He could easily put up with her if he just ignored her quirky comments about how an ummanered, over-sized squirrel he was, but it seemed that she hadn't realized about that... yet.

As cold as he wanted to be, he couldn't help but to chuckle to himself when an ice-cream stick landed on her head and her expression remained the same. A split second later, the stick had been shattered to pieces by one of Ayaka's limbs, who had quickly grown into a whip. Sangloupmon took note of that movement so it wouldn't catch him by surprise him later on. Maybe he didn't need to, but as he digivolved and grow, so did his brain, adjusting to the form he was currently in. Perhaps that was a special trait of the Prototype Digimon, but who could know?

Either way, he looked at the bird-like Digimon, and talked to him. -You have just earned my respect, Hawkmon -the wolf-like creature joked, addressing the hawk-like being. Being colder didn't eliminate his feelings towards Ayaka, and they weren't good, at least for the most part.

...How disturbing. The eerie arm that looks way too humanoid for his liking, Yuuki winced at the sight of it. Digimon that owns that kind of limb... what could that guy be? Canisdramon stared at the Hawkmon... listening to his half assed apology felt really offending to him, although he's not the one who being disrespected here. Before Canisdramon could even back Ayaka, Yuuki grabbed his mane.

"Yuuki?"

"...Not worth it. We're not here for fight," he assessed. "Ayaka, for this one time, please just let it be. It doesn't worth our time or his if he just want to be alone."

"If you say so, pardner..."

There's a case where anger only would lead you to unwanted place, and sometimes it'll take your life. Yuuki will not let that happened for the second time. He doesn't need any people who thinks they can play hero without having any sufficient amount of strength. And for that reason, if he want to play hero, then at least, he'll have to get stronger. Strong enough to stand toe on toe to even Mega.

"...Well, then, shall we return to the conversation earlier?"

Sangloupmon's grin became even wider as he saw Ayaka getting more and more angry at the Hawkmon with a human limb. He saw Canisdramon, ready to step and help Ayaka, but his Tamer impeded him telling the canine-like Digimon that it wasn't worth the try, since the Digimon had already said that he didn't wasn't seeking trouble. In fact, the only thing it wanted was taking a nap. Mana also said that Canisdramon was right, and the Hawkmon shouldn't bother her. The plant Digimon managed to calm down, and smiled at her partner. -Alright, miss Mana. For this time, I'll forgive that poor show of manners. But don't get too used to it. A lady has to make herself be respected on the face of such degrading and lowly behaviors -the Jungle Trooper Digimon finally stated.

Then, the conversation returned to the topic they had before that interruption: Sangloupmon's denial on going to the Village of Begginings. Tatsuya was stranged as well, but defended him nonetheless. -So, what is wrong with the Village of the Beginnings, Sangloupmon-san, I cannot comprenhend why you would dislike that place. I was not born there, but the kids are usually well behaved and the old Jyureimon that watches over there has the best of dispositions. I find really unsettling the fact that that place can ever be despised.

Canisdramon chuckled. He hadn't expected that answer. Jyureimon was a name that he hadn't still heard. Without him knowing why, another name came to mind as he spoke, despite him not having met such Digimon since he hatched from the egg.-Oh? So Swanmon isn't in the Village anymore... Either way, I'm not going there again -he announced.

-Pal, what's wrong? I've never seen you acting like this. You're wierd today, ya know? -Tatsuya asked his partner in a low voice. The digimon, however, didn't answer. -I don't know myself. But I just don't want to go there... Maybe it's something related to my past? -he spoke so only his Tamer could hear him. Tatsuya was stranged, but decided to shrug it off nonetheless.

-Sorry. Not forcing him to go if he doesn't want to -he apologized, his hands on his pockets.

"...Hey, Yuuki, that guy starting to piss me off..." Canisdramon whispered, getting really bad tempered right now. Yuuki however, has activated his 'I'm not listening, I don't care to whatever that guy said' mode and just stroke his partner's furn soothingly. That Hawkmon is annoying for real, but if they just like that lash out to him, then they're even less than his because they just like that let themselves to get riled up by his provocative words. Yuuki glanced sideway at his partner like telling him to just listen to Sangloupmon's reason.

"...So it's something related to your past, eh, Darkie? Well I guess it can't be helped. Honestly, I prefer if all six of us go together. Just like Yuuki said, there are power in number... Plus, I myself wouldn't like it there's something bad happened like in the forest back then..."

"...Canisdramon, that's taboo to talk about."

"Ah... right, sorry, partner..."

Yuuki sighed and wondered what should they do until he decided something. "I think we can go to training ground or something, just to test our mettle..."

"Bad idea," Canisdramon commented.

"Eh? Why?"

"It's not that it's bad, Yuuki... The idea by itself is good enough, but I felt like I already hit the end of this form's power. I cannot feel like there's something left for me to learn from. So the only way left is probably to look for that guy... But we really don't know where we can meet him, right?"

Sangloupmon had been given a nice first impression by the Hawkmon, but that didn't mean he was going to listen to his problems or initiate a conversation with him, since he was talking with his friends and Ayaka about his negative on going to The Village of Begginings. -...So it's something related to your past, eh, Darkie? Well I guess it can't be helped. Honestly, I prefer if all six of us go together. Just like Yuuki said, there are power in number... Plus, I myself wouldn't like it there's something bad happened like in the forest back then... -he began, but was quickly shut by his partner, who didn't seem wanting to talk about what had happened then.

-Well, Lightie... I've never been there, yet I know I despise that place. It might be because I'm a Dark Area digimon now, but... I think the safest choice is to assume it's related to my past.

Then, Tatsuya was interjected by Ayaka again. -Oh, do not get me wrong, Tatsuya-san, I'm not trying to force Sangloupmon-san to go anywhere. I was just curious about why he despised that place and nothing more. Well then, got any destiny in mind? Both me and Yuuki-san had already suggested something, so maybe you or Sangloupmon-san have a better idea? -she asked, polite as always. The teen shrugged off.

-Don't worry, I knew you didn't mean it that way. Well, I'd really like to tag along and go there, but... If Sangloupmon doesn't want to, then I think I'll help Yuuki find his "lighter" self so he can become stronger. That way we might become stronger as well... you know how my partner is about that matter -he said to the plant Digimon.

His ears then caught Mana teasing the Hawkmon about how powerful Ryoko and Ryusei were, those two guys with a wierd speech manner they had met days before at the mall. He chuckled to himself as he remembered the incident with the water balloons. Despite he wasn't there at the time, he had witnessed it from the second floor alongiside his partner, as they saw the crowd filled the main gates and were killing time before leaving.

"...Nah, that wouldn't be the case," Canisdramon muttered, sounding rather concerned. "...If it's true, then Dark Area Digimon won't end there... at all, right? Or is my sense of whatever happened to Digimon that reformatted will always end in Village of Beginning is wrong all along? Whatever it is, I won't going to force you anyway... But it's sure something worth to take note of..."

Tatsuya seem keen on helping him and Canisdramon, but Yuuki have no idea if that's going to be a smooth journey. Afterall, he's not sure that his light part would appear that easily, knowing that probably he doesn't cling on his distrust anymore... Probably, he's starting to go there, but really?

That Hawkmon, too, seem really interested in whatever heck they're going to do in Village of Beginning. That place, it's more peaceful than anything, right? Yuuki stared at Canisdramon, who simply do motion like shrugging... at least, shrugging equivalent to a wolf.

"There's nothing there, as far as I know... But I don't know, Yuuki. I don't have any past memories."

Sangloupmon reflected on the other's words as he said that it might've been related to his current species. Canisdramon had stated that they couldn't be too quirky on the matter, since every Digimon was reborn there at least once in their cycle, so that couldn't be. Ayaka also mentioned, with a much longer, elaborated speech that made him sigh as she compared him to a Kuramon.

-Well... I might be a Dark Area Digimon now, but this isn't a natural form, after all. Deep down there I'm still the same "violent, feral, aggressive, idiotic oversized squirrel" that annoys you so much, Ayaka -he commented as a joke, although his expression didn't change. As he looked at the sky and had the sudden urge to howl. He contained himself, though. -I know that my destiny is for me to decide... also, you keep on telling me that it'll be too hard to find the light self of Yuuki...

Looking at his partner, he shrugged in a (wolf-like way), and sighed. -Whatever. It's not like a few ghosts from a questionable past can scare me like that, so... yeah. If you want to go to The Village of Begginings... I guess I can go along, at least this once. Since you and Mana seem to have something to do there, and every place is as good as other to start... -he finished, but another line was spoken inside his head. -"I might be able to know why I'm so afraid if I go there" -the predator thought.

-Either way, in the end I guess the choice is yours. I gotta say Sangloupmon's a bit wierd today... but whatever. I don't think it's anything bad, right pal? -he said, ruffling his partner's majestic white mane. -Pff. As if you aren't wierd all the time -the lupine monster returned it, chuckling.
