 We'll find a rhythm all our ownMelt into it nice and slowLove ourselves away from hereYour heart beating next to minePerfect love in perfect timeWatch the world, just disappear
Avery sighed, her slender frame relaxing with Ryouta called back his partner as well. It was a relief to know that she wasn't the only one who thought that had fought enough for the day. She watched silently as Ryouta talked to his partner, explaining when it was okay to help and when it was not okay.
Her azure gaze flickered to Tatsuya, who was picking up his partner. The little guy was already falling asleep, leaving the older teen cradling him in his arms. She frowned when the Dorimon mentioned he had "been wowse" before. She wondered internally the same thing as Tatsuya voiced his curiousity about what could have happened to him in the past.
"We have past lives. When we are defeated and our data spreads, we usually go somewhere to rejuvenate, but our memories stay with us, most of the time. Usually they unlock when we get to a more mature form. Maybe something in his past life."
AJ looked at her partner curiously. This was the first he had really mentioned anything about what it was like before they had joined up. That and it was the first serious thing he had said in quite a while.
It was quite interesting, these creatures. Supposedly, they were made of data and just kept reforming, but they were so so real.
"Whatever it is, it obviously made him a lot stronger. And I'm sure he'll continue to grow," she said, offering the eighteen-year-old a smile. |

Dracomon tilted his head in confusion as the other two start to talk about something in English. He have no idea what they're talking of, but Ryouta perhaps have some idea... He turned to his partner, who have the same confused look like his own. Dracomon somewhat unsure what to say... But decided to poke the other human's leg, the one who can understand Japanese.
"Sorry, Tatsuya... what are you two talking about?"
Ryouta wanted to explain, but the fact that his brain doesn't seem able to process the words fast enough for him to translate it kind of made him in rather confused state. He only understood something about past life... what past life? Shintoism? Buddhism kind? He sheepishly scratch his head.
"...Sorry, Tats. Please explain to us."

Tatsuya's cryptic sentence left both Ryouta and Dracomon a little stranged. They didn't understand what he was talking about; thus, they asked him... but even himself didn't know the answer. -I'm not sure about it, but... There's no way a newborn can have such a harsh vision about the world. It just... can't be. It isn't natural... so he has to have a past, or something like that -he said, struggling to find the words.
Patch, however, seemed to have a deeper knowledge about Tatsuya's theory. -We have past lives. When we are defeated and our data spreads, we usually go somewhere to rejuvenate, but our memories stay with us, most of the time. Usually they unlock when we get to a more mature form. Maybe something in his past life... -the cat-like digimon explained, as Tatsuya looked at his partner once more.
-Maybe that's it... or maybe not. Any way, the only one who knows it exactly is him. It could turn out that he is just a prick, after all! -the human jokingly stated. Of course, he didn't mean it: he had gotten quite fond of the little furball's company, as it gave his life an unpredictable and thrilling element which he loved. Also, he had made him meet different people, after all, so it was all good.
Avery then added something to that. -Whatever it is, it obviously made him a lot stronger. And I'm sure he'll continue to grow -the female Tamer said, while looking at Tatsuya with a smile. Returning the gesture with closed eyes, he also smiled at her. -Thank you, Ave. I know he will become strong, because he is as stubborn as me... I just wish he will put his powers to good use in the future -he said, opening his indigo orbs after thanking AJ.
-So... what will you both do now? -he asked the other two Tamers, curious. -For now, I guess I'll take care of him... You might say we are a good team, but our relationship is... a deal, really. Once he is strong enough, he'll probably leave -he said, thinking about the time they fought Charles.

[Sorry for the delay! Crazy week!]
AJ felt her body relax once the fight was over. She still wasn't quite used to this fighting thing they did. Was it just something in their blood, or data blood, that made them like this?
When Tatsuya said that their relationship was more of a deal, AJ tilted her head. "Well, I guess I'll just continue taking care of Patch and hiding him from my family, I mean, I've been doing it for a month. I just hope he doesn't grow too much."
She heard Ryouta ask something in Japanese, but she caught the word "explain." "Well...I guess they have different lives before and after." Hopefully he would understand.
She leaned back against the wall and stroked Patch's fur who seemed to fall to pieces when she did this. He curled up in her lap and purred. "I'm not sure how much longer we're gonna be in this country. And really, I don't wanna think about it..."

So that's how is it... Digimon have some past life that somehow carried over to this life... It's rather harsh, but it's seem to be something like accumulating past lives and grow to be a better Digimon... a cycle where you can't rest sounds really harsh... Digimon seem to be made for fighting by nature... despite the sentience, it's almost like that even the weakest Digimon have a way to defend themselves.
"Um... how is it to have past life?" Dracomon suddenly asked.
"...Huh? What do you mean, Dracomon? Don't you have one?"
"Um... it's very vague... like being sunk deep inside an endless sea while my data leaking out of me... I'm not sure, but... that's just how it is? I tried to reach something... I don't remember what, but I felt like someone is waiting for me... waiting, waiting and waiting endlessly... for me to come... and I'm the same. Someone waiting, and I'm searching... it's like an eternal cycle with no end."
Tatsuya asked what they wanted to do next.
"Uh... I... might going to... ask... parents... for... pe... permission to go to... Digital World... but... not sure... if they... accept. If no, then... probably... t-test... um, ARGH! Sorry, Tats, please translate this one for me. I'm just going to stay here for a while, probably getting some make-up test because I tend to get on detention, that's all."

As Tatsuya spoke of his relationship with his partner, Avery tilted her head and said something about that topic as well. -Well, I guess I'll just continue taking care of Patch and hiding him from my family, I mean, I've been doing it for a month. I just hope he doesn't grow too much -she said, a little concerned, maybe due to the fact that she wouldn't be able to hide him if he did.
-Don't worry. Actually they can "degenerate" to lower levels, but I'm sure you are already familiar with that... -the eighteen year old said, cracking a small smile towards her. It seemed that Dracomon couldn't remember about his past life as well. Maybe he shared similarities with Dorimon, despite them being so different to each other, after all.
Afterwards, Avery also brought the topic about how long would she stay in that country. The truth was that she didn't want to think about it, but judging by her expression, she doubted it would be too long. Upon hearing this, Dorimon's ears lowered in his sleep, as if it was hearing the conversation.
-You are right. Don't think about that! Enjoy the here and now, you'll have more than enough time to worry about what comes after that -the teen said with a warm grin. -At least... that's how I like to live -he added later, still looking at her, and then he directed his gaze towards Ryouta.
As the other male tried to explain in broken English what he was going to do, he gave up on it, and asked Tatsuya to translate what he was trying to say to AJ. Just a split second later, the eighteen year old summarized Ryouta's speech in a short sentence and pronounced it a few moments later.
-If they parents don't give him permission to go into the Digital World, he will have to do a bunch of make-up tests -Tatsuya finished, leaning back and using his hands as a support so he wouldn't fall.

As Ryouta tried to explain something in very broken English, Avery tilted her head slightly, but Tatsuya came to the rescue thankfully. It seemed that Ryouta wanted to go to the Digital World, but he might have to make up any tests he missed. Well that was expected. If you missed a very important test, it would definitely hurt your grade if you didn't make it back up.
She was silent for a moment, thinking about what the Digital World was like. She glanced over at Patch, who just kind of shrugged. "If you're asking if I have any past lives, sure I do, but I'm kinda like Dracomon. I can't remember much, except waiting a lot. But maybe I was waiting for you." He gave her a toothy smile. She smiled back softly and began to stroke him behind his long ears which bent back with each stroke.
"I haven't really thought about going to the Digital World. Really...I just think I'm still getting used to this whole tamer thing too." She blinked when Tatsuya mentioned "degenerate." "Huh, what do you mean, degenerate?"

"De... degenerate?" Ryouta parroted. What does he mean? However, it's seem to be a quite nifty trick that you can use to make your Digimon smaller. Only then that Ryouta noticed his data plan still haven't used much and quickly ran quick search on the word's meaning. The term 'Degenerate' seem to leads to something along the line of 'turning into lower form', so... did he meant he know a way to make the Digimon turn into lower level?
...Then, he notices that he got more than enough to download an application. He quickly search for quick translator program and installed it to his phone. He quickly typed something in fast speed before finally turning the speaker on.
<Phew, this is troublesome, but I think this way I can talk with you two better...> the mechanical voice of the phone commented, relaying Ryouta's thought. <Sorry again for the inconvenience, but I think my brain gonna burn before this night ends if I have to deal with my broken spoken English.>
"Yeah, definitely better than nothing," Ryouta commented.

Tatsuya was then surprised. He couldn't believe they hadn't heard about Degenerating... well, Ryouta had an excuse since he was a novice Tamer, but AJ had been around with Patch long enough to know for sure. Sighing, he explained it to the young girl and boy. -Well, imagine Dorimon here goes to a higher form. He'd be a pain in the ass to hide, right? -he asked, before continuing. -That's when this function comes in. It basically allows me to turn him into a lower form whenever I want to, though I'm not sure how it works, since Digimon can also return to a lower form themselves by spending their energy, if I recall correctly.
As if he were to exemplify it, he took his black and grey D-3 and used it to turn Dorimon into Dodomon, then into Dorimon again, between three flashes of light. His partner didn't wake up: he seemed too tired to even try to. -And that's basically it! There isn't much about it, really. It's very simple to do it, there should be an option in your Digivice menu.
Tatsuya smiled at Patch's comment about how he had been waiting for Avery, just as Dracomon had for Ryouta. -Well, well, that's nice. It's like a fated union, right? So I guess the only one without such a story is me... Dorimon never told me about what he was doing before. He doesn't even seem to remember even that, but I doubt he was waiting for me, since he was never happy to find me.
OOC: Sorry for crappy post!

AJ smiled. "Well that's a lot better. I probably could have done that with my phone for a Japanese translator. Can you understand me okay?"
AJ turned as Dorimon flashed to Dodomon and back again.. Glancing over at her own partner, she tilted her head. "Do you wanna try that? It might be more comfortable for you in the backpack?"
Patch nodded and moved towards his tamer. AJ held out her grey and white D3. A light burst out, enveloping Patch. He shrunk with the light. The light disappated to reveal a small green furball. AJ smiled as the Nyaromon bounced towards his partner and landed in her lap. She stroked his head, since that's all he really was.
"Thanks, Tats."
-Well, well, that's nice. It's like a fated union, right? So I guess the only one without such a story is me... Dorimon never told me about what he was doing before. He doesn't even seem to remember even that, but I doubt he was waiting for me, since he was never happy to find me.-
AJ frowned slightly when she heard this and glanced down at Patch, then up at Ryouta and Dracomon, then back at Tatsuya and Dorimon. She gave a slight, sad smile. "I don't think that's true. I really think you guys were meant to meet, or you wouldn't have. These little guys seem...almost magical, ya know. It's like we were meant to be together. I don't like fighting, but I've realized that Patch's strength really relies on me being in sync with him." Her mind briefly flickered back to the battle at the concert.

<Yeah, I can understand you just fine, alright, It's just that my spoken English aren't as good as how I can understand you two. Despite looking like this, I got B+ on my English, you know?> Despite the obviously mechanic voice that the cellphone played, Ryouta is grinning widely like he's flaunting his ability.
At the little show of degenerating and evolving over and over again, Ryouta turned to Dracomon, who looks rather amused at the little show. He pointed his D-3 at the dragon and watches as stream of data leaves the dragon's body, back to his D-3. In his place, Babydmon once again stood (or float, whatever).
Two viewpoints why they met their Digimons, and what they actually meant, this meeting... Ryouta doesn't understand either about this, but he quickly typed his thought on his phone. He really need to know how Yuu can type so fast... oh wait, nevermind, that was so jerklike of him.
<I agree with AJ here, although I'm sure that neither of us seem to understand, but... I think they meant for us, and is left on our care to both shape our future and to shape their future... But that sounds so cheesy, right?>

Tatsuya looked to Dorimon, still sleeping in his arms, and then to Avery again. The teen would soon chuckle to her comment about her being sure that they were meant to meet, or otherwise, he would've never get to know the Digimon. -Heh, you're so innocent, Avery. I don't believe in destiny, to be honest. I mean, why even bothering? I'm free to do what I want, the consequences are just following those actions. Mine was moving to Shibuya, and then, he followed -he said, looking at her with a smile.
-But... I think it suits you to actually think that way. Don't ask me why, you just give me that impression -he said, in a half smile. His attention then turned to Ryouta, and spoke again. -Cheesy? Not at all. It was my choice to take care of my partner and help him be the strongest Digimon around... or at least, I'll try to help him. He might be young, but I think there's a lot more to this guy than I actually know -he muttered, scratching his chin.
Then, he took out his cellphone. It was actually getting late, so he decided it was time to say goodbye to his new friends. -I think it's time to go. I have karate practice tomorrow, and I'm getting sleepy, to be honest. This has been a heck of a long day, and I'm tired as heck. Getting up from his seat on the cold ground, he went near Ryouta, offering his hand for a shake. -Well, Ryouta, a pleasure to meet you. I hope we see each other around soon! -he happily said, awaiting for his reaction.
Afterwards, he moved next to AJ, crouching besides her and ruffling his hair while offering her a sincere smile with his eyes closed. -You too. I hope you can manage to stay here long enough to see you again, Ave! -Tatsuya finished, pulling his backpack from his back and introducing Dorimon inside so he wouldn't be seen. With a grin in his face, he waved behind him, taking his leave back home.

<Yeah, I can understand you just fine, alright, It's just that my spoken English aren't as good as how I can understand you two. Despite looking like this, I got B+ on my English, you know?>
"Hey! That's really good Ryouta! You might be able to help me some on my Japanese homework! I've got a tutor...but still I think you could probably help me understand a bit more." She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. Japanese was definitely one of the hardest languages she had ever encountered.
When Tatsuya spoke up and laughed, calling her naive for believing in destiny, she frowned, her eyes darkening slightly, but then the older teen said, -But... I think it suits you to actually think that way. Don't ask me why, you just give me that impression - Avery's expression softened a bit towards the Japanese boy.
She merely shrugged in response. "I guess we can all just believe what we want to believe, but I just think it's weird that I've never encountered a Digimon until now. I've been to 11 countries now and three continents, and I've never experienced this until now. Maybe it's just something about Shibuya...." she murmured the last bit to herself. She blinked when she felt his hand on her head. She glanced up through her bangs which were being forced down by Tatsuya's hand. At his smile, she smiled herself. Nodding, she replied, "Yeah, I think we'll meet again." 'I have a a feeling we will...'
When the older teen left, she glanced over at Ryouta then down at her own cellphone. A startled look crossed her young features and she sighed. "I've gotta go too Ryouta. I'm sorry. My mom is probably freaking out." Grabbing Patch under his belly, she placed him in her backpack and pocketed her cellphone. Standing, she bowed in the traditional way of the Japanese then gave him a quick peace sign before dashing out of the alleyway.
