Not My Capital, None of My People (Open)

So if Hikaru was suddenly transported from Ys to Kyoto, what were Adrian Boriker and his partner Shoutmon doing there? It was quite a bit away from Tokyo, after all.

Well, that is very simple. Both Adrian's mother and father had gotten a break of work, and so did Adrian himself, so his entire family decided that a small trip to Kyoto would be a fun idea, get away from all the craziness of Tokyo. They had arrived the day before, with Adrian's brother Aaron along for the trip as well. And thanks to Shoutmon's holosuit, he got to join in on the family activities as well.

While they didn't do much on their first night since they had arrived, today was a new day and plans were underway to go to places like Kyoto Tower later that day, but until then Adrian and Shoutmon decided to do a little sight seeing on their own time however, before they were to meet up again at 4PM to head to the tower.

"So, what do you want to do first Shoutmon?" Adrian had asked as they walked down the street that was right next to a park, with Shoutmon wearing his holosuit of course (A human Adrian's age with a small red mohawk and a blue hoodie.)

"Well, let's go to a new restaurant! I'm pretty sick of all the same restaurants in Tokyo anyways."

"Is food all you think about? Don't you wanna visit a shrine instead?"

"Hm... I DO wanna see them... but on the other hand breakfast wasn't filling at all."

"Can't argue with that, sadly..."

As they were talking, Adrian and Shoutmon came across an odd sight. It looked like a white-haired little girl next to a... wait, was that a Digimon?! There were Digimon in Kyoto, too?! Adrian thought that they were only appearing in Tokyo, what was one doing here? Plus Shoutmon could sense that even the human girl was a Digimon, too.

"Two Digimon, one holosuited and one with a... really bad disguise..." Shoutmon whispered to Adrian. "... we're gonna get wrapped into something, aren't we?"

"I think we are, yes," Adrian whispered back. He decided to take the friendly approach to this, that usually worked out better in the end. He walked up to the two Digimon and smiled. "Uh, hey there. You two are quite a long way away from Tokyo, aren't you?" While he wasn't showing it off, both Digimon could clearly see the D-Arc that was worn on Adrian's left wrist like a watch.

While a simple geek like Kenny loved the huge hustle and bustle of Tokyo, and especially Shibuya, sometimes, there had to be times to take a break from the action, to give himself and Skadi a chance to breathe for once in their busy life, and this week-long summer holiday to Kyoto would do just the trick for them. With Skadi's holosuit in tow, the two would set off into a bullet train onto their trip abroad.

Already from the moment Skadi stepped onto her first shinkansen, she found herself in awe gazing at the lush, beautiful landscapes of Japan. Luckily for her, her holosuit taking the form of a young kid allowed her to blend in easily with the rest of the people abroad. Surprisingly enough, not another tamer nearby raised an eyebrow or two about this holosuited Digimon in the flesh. A good thing too; despite all the massive adventures in the Digital World, it was nice to unwind once in a while without fear.

By morning come, the two had made it to Kyoto safe and sound, and, after making it to their hotel, unpacking, showering, and getting themselves some cheap and easy lunch, they had decided on where they wanted to go first;  the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine, home of the titular fox God himself. It'd be nice, probably take some photos, grab some souvenirs, and maybe when they were done, perhaps they could go watch a movie tonight.

Oh, if only that were simple.

As they walked over to the fox-god's shrine, an odd sight would behold them. Already, Skadi felt an odd tingly feeling inside her body, sensing a Digimon or two nearby. But as far as she was concerned, this was the least of her worries. That voice alone was enough to tell her, and Kenny for that matter, that her own dear old papa himself was nearby; specifically in that box, where 3 more familiar figures stood by: Adrian, Shoutmon and…

Wait, did Omen just call Hikaru 'grandpa' unironically?

What the heck was going on?

Needless to say, Skadi's attention found itself laser focused upon the box, "...papa?" She muttered quietly as she tilted her head. How did he end up here in the first place? Where was Yuuki? What was going on, exactly?

Not a moment too soon, the holosuited Valaismon was on the move, drifting towards the box. Kenny followed from behind, a concerned look on his face, "I don't have a good feeling about this. Something about this just feels off, if you ask me…"

But Skadi paid no heed to anyone or anything. By the moment she reached the box, she gently placed a hand onto Hikaru's soft fur in a bid to grab his attention, "...papa? Are you OK?" Kenny just watched, biting his lip nervously.

Already a thousand questions swirled around his head, and he had a good feeling none of these would be answered anytime soon.
